The price of keeping warm
BY ALISSA BAUER

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Students who live off-campus are seeing an increase in their monthly gas bills as soon as they open their mail. The increases stem from a variety of reasons, including colder temperatures, energy inefficient homes and appliances and a recent increase in the cost of natural gas.
Milwaukee senior Brad Pachefsky lives in a threebedroom house off of Kasold Drive. His gas bill jumped from $120 in December to $200 in January.
Facing gas bills nearly two times higher than last month, students who live in standalone houses may be feeling
the natural gas rate increases more than any other student group.
Students in apartments will still see an increase, though. Matt Anderson, Chicago senior, lives in Carson Place, off Indiana Street.
Anderson also experienced a comparatively higher bill; a $49 gas bill in December paved way for a $60 bill in January.
The increase is not surprising to Larissa Long, manager of external affairs for Aquila, Lawrence's natural gas provider. She said there are lots of reasons for the fluctuation in monthly bills.
"We monitor it pretty tight," Anderson said. "It's pretty obvious when it goes up."

"In a home, there is prob-
Long also noted that many apartments don't have all four walls facing the elements. Houses may have cold — or hot — air hitting all four walls.
Pachefsky said that in the summer, his landscaping helped keep bills low.
"In the summer, we have a lot of trees around our house, so we definitely saved some money by being in the shade," Pacheffsky said. "But in the winter, it still sucks."
Last May, Aquila made a 2.4 percent rate increase, its

first increase of base natural gas rates since 2000.
That 2.4 percent increase equaled out to approximately $2.7 million, according to Aquila's Web site.
Long suggested, however, that the extent that the bill goes up relies heavily on the consumers themselves.
"Probably the biggest factor is the thermostat, and how comfortable you are with a lower setting," Long said. "For many students who are living alone for the first time, it does come as a surprise, but they do have control over their own usage."
Long said a consumer using the company wide January average of 178 CCFs would

face an approximately 27 percent increase in the gas bill
from $178 to $224. Long could not provide Lawrence-specific numbers.
Long made it clear, however, that Aquila is not raising the cost of natural gas; it follows a purchased gas adjustment each month.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Month celebrates, educates
Professor found home at University

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
As a native of Philadelphia, Hobart Jackson had his doubts about Kansas' conservatism, and he thought his new professorship at the University of Kansas would just be a stepping stone in his career when he arrived in 1971.
Thirty-four years later, he's still here.
"I had a perception of Kansas as not necessarily being a place for me to stay," Jackson said. "Lawrence is unique, though."
Jackson came to the University as one of many newly-hired African-American faculty members after the Black Student Union protests and the burning of the Kansas Union on April 20,1970.
Professor Hobart Jackson gives a lecture on architectural photography on Tuesday. Jackson was brought to the University of Kansas to diffuse black unrest in 1971.
Jackson was recruited when colleague James Rosser moved to the University of Kansas to become Associate Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs.
Jackson said he was originally recruited to run the community center design in Kansas City, Mo., but after his interview the University hired him to teach beginning studio and graphic design classes and serve as a mentor for African-American students.
Charles Kahn, the dean of KU's school of architecture at the time, also played a large part in Jackson's arrival at the University. Kahn was open to having African-Americans on his faculty, advocating what he called "urban scholars."
Jackson has been involved in the Black Faculty and Staff Council since its inception in 1975.
"Quite frankly, we were looking for more minority professors," Kahn said, "but he would have qualified anyway. We gave him opportunities he well deserved."
History, message of celebration important

Rona Remmie wouldn't be where she is today without African-Americans who paved the way by desegregating schools and public places during the Civil Rights Movement.
"I wouldn't be able to sit in a seat next to a white person," said Remmie, Kansas City, Mo., junior and Black Student Union vice president.
Edited by Matt Wilson
She said it was important she celebrated her predecessors.
Kristen Guillot, Shawnee senior and Black Student Union president, said, "It's a way to acknowledge the African-American contribution to American society."
He said it was an opportunity to educate and appreciate African-American history. "This month gives a title to what we should be doing all year round," said Gullot.
Black History Month was created to "celebrate those who were left out of the written and popular story," said Deborah Dandridge, president of Black Faculty and Staff Council.
Black History Month began almost a century ago when African-American Harvard historian Carter G. Woodson thought it would be beneficial to create a week to focus on African American's contributions to America's history with the goal of incorporating African-American narrative into public school curriculum.
"We have had a diverse nation from the beginning," Dandridge said. "The ideal will come when you don't have to highlight groups based on race."
The week began around President Lincoln's and Frederick Douglas' birthdays, but in 1976, President Ford extended the week to a month-long celebration in February, Dandridge said.

Dandridge said she thought that ideal wouldn't happen anytime soon, if at all, and Americans would continue to need Black History Month in order to fight the misunderstandings and misinformation about the African-American role in American history.
EDUCATION
Sex course has unusual empty seats

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Only 44 people enrolled in the 10-week, noncredit human sexuality course at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, taught by retired KU professor Dennis Dailey. The course accepts both KU students and non-students, but is struggling to gain enrollment.
Dailey said he did not know why enrollment dropped. He said he was considering not teaching the course in the future if enrollment remained low.
In the past, controversy surrounded Dailey
The room the class is taught in accommodates 100 people and was full when Dailey taught the course last spring.
In the pass and provided free publicity for the non-credit course. After accusations that Dailey showed pornography in class in 2003, local and national media coverage attracted attention to Dailey. At the time, both the ECM course and KU course were full, and had waiting lists.
"I think it's important to question attitudes and beliefs about sexuality."
Jane Segebrecht Committee Coordinator
The ECM Sexuality Education Committee advertised the course in hopes of gaining interest. Jane Segebrecht, committee coordinator, said the committee was trying to be active in advertising.
This semester is the first spring that Dailey has not taught at the University. He retired in June 2005, but has continued to teach the course as a non-credit option to benefit students.
Dailey draws students with his name, but fewer students at the University remember the controversy.
"I think a lot of people enroll just because of who Dennis Dailey is," Segebrecht said. "He's such a powerful speaker."
Segebrecht said that people enrolled in the course at the first class meeting last spring. She anticipated that some people would show up at the last minute again this semester. A small class size would take something away from the class experience and she hoped there would be a last-minute rush to enroll, she said.

"It is true that while I improvise on my violin, I am essentially drawing symmetrical patterns on the finger board of the violin. These symmetrical patterns are intuitive spatial symmetries that I 'see' when I play and I am very faithful to them." Purnaprama said.
He has been teaching undergraduate calculus, honors
calculus, modern algebra and a graduate level algebraic geometry course since 1998, when he first arrived at the University of Kansas. He
taught the 990 level algebra geometry course, the focus of his sabbatical, three year ago.
His sabbatical starts on March 12. Purnaprajna will leave Kansas, his home for
six years, to do mathematical research. His first stop will be to his alma mater, the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai, India. He will then attend
two international conferences in Germany and France before he works with fellow math professors at the Third University of Rome.
Upon his return, he plans to collaborate with his graduate students and he said he hopes to teach the 996 class once again. He has students taking a reading course on algebraic geometry. He also boasts of his first student who will complete his master's degree on the subject this May.

Sen. Jim Barnett speaks to a group of students Tuesday in the Kansas Room in the Union. Barnett is a candidate for governor. If elected, he aims to reduce taxes and reform the state's spending.
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
idavis@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
State Senator Jim Barnett says he has a plan to get Kansas' economic engine running. He just needs enough votes to replace incumbent Kathleen Sebelius as governor to turn the key.
Barnett, R-Emporia, a state senator since 2000 and chairman of the Senate Public Health and Welfare committee, spoke for nearly 60 minutes last night to a group of about 45 people at the Kansas Union, touching on topics ranging from state taxes to stemcell research. Barnett's speech was the second in the KU College Republican's gubernatorial candidate series.
Using a variety of charts to emphasize Kansas' woeful economic standing in comparison to the rest of the United States, Barnett stressed a need for Kansas to decrease taxes in order to bring more businesses to the state.
One way he proposed doing that was by implementing a 10 percent investment tax credit that could be used by businesses of any size. The tax credit would allow businesses save 10 percent in taxes on money it spent on improvements. Barnett, a physician, used the example of a $300,000 electronic medical record upgrade he made to his private practice in Emporia. With the credit, $30,000 would be saved at tax time.
"With a tax credit and lower taxes, businesses will come to Kansas," Barnett said, citing the need for Kansas to ease its economic reliance on Johnson County.
Barnett also advocated freezing the state's budget, which he said could be done without halting funding for K-12 schools, regents schools or Medicaid, which comprise 75 percent of the state's budget and must be funded under the Kansas Constitution.
Such a move would halt spending on highway projects. Barnett called Kansas' highways fine, "Cadillac" roads that Kansans were using to drive out of the state to find jobs elsewhere. Barnett said freeing that 25 percent of the budget would allow money to go into luring businesses back into the state.
Moreover, Barnett said that freezing the budget would not him
der state employee wages, considering that Gov. Sebelius had frozen the budget before and state employees still received raises.
Speaking about his K-12 school finance plan, Barnett proposed funneling $400 million dollars into schools over a four-year period. Barnett was a member of the Emporia Board of Education from 1991-1999, serving as the board's president from 1993-1997.
Barnett also talked about supporting stem-cell research and therapy, recounting stories of three patients he had seen who were diagnosed with cancer. He stressed that without the benefit of adult stem-cell therapy, all three patients would now be deceased.

There is an old rumor that the Speaker of the House of Commons in Britain cannot 'speak'. Actually, the speaker can speak and does so often. He calls on members to speak, calls for order and for other administrative tasks. But the speaker cannot engage in debate or express his opinions, hence the story of the Speaker who cannot speak.

Campus bike thefts more than biked from 2004 to 2005. Forty-seven bikes were reported stolen last year, amounting to more than $10,000 in stolen property, according to KU Public Safety Office documents.
Christopher Norris, Pittsburgh freshman, unlocks his bike from the rack outside Budie Hall norris. Norris' previous bike was stolen.
These numbers have dramatically risen compared to the 15 bike thefts reported on campus in 2004. A majority of last year's thefts occurred at residence halls and scholarship halls. Oliver and McCollum halls were the sites of 31 percent of the bikes stolen in 2005.
The department installed security cameras to monitor parking lots and bike racks
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, spokesman of the KU Public Safety Office, said he was not surprised Oliver and McCollum had been rife with bike theft because they were heavily populated residence halls with many students who use bikes as transportation.
on campus in August, but this proved ineffective. Eighty-five percent of the bikes stolen in 2005 were stolen after Sept. 1.
What is a bike-riding student to do?
"Keep your bike inside if you can," Shay Brown, Lawrence graduate student, said.
Brown, who has worked for Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop, 802 Massachusetts St., for almost two years, said there was no sure way to keep your bike from getting stolen.
"If someone wants your bike they will get it," he said. "If they want it bad enough and they have enough time, they will get it."
Brown has ridden his bike everyday to campus for seven years and has never had a problem with bike theft. He said that a good, quality lock is well worth the investment.
There are some steps student bike riders can take to keep their bike from becoming another statistic.
Brown recommends students spend the extra money and invest in a U-lock, which
is less convenient because it cannot be secured to many objects other than bike racks, but provides more security.
Cable locks are less expensive and more convenient than U-locks because they can be secured to many different objects other than just bike racks, but they do not provide
enough security against theft, he said.
"Cable locks can be cut through fairly easily." Brown said.
So far this year only one bike has been reported stolen. The theft was reported last Wednesday at 1312 Louisiana St.

OBITUARY
Corretta Scott King. civil rights activist
BY ERRIN HAINES
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Coretta Scott King, who worked to keep her husband's dream alive with a chin-held-high grace and serenity that made her a powerful symbol of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s creed of brotherhood and nonviolence, died Tuesday. She was 78.
The "first lady of the civil rights movement" died in her sleep during the night at an alternative medicine clinic in Mexico, her family said. Arrangements were being made to
fly the body back to Atlanta.
She had been recovering from a serious stroke and heart attack suffered last August. Just two weeks ago, she made her first public appearance in a year on the eve of her late husband's birthday.
Doctors at the clinic said King was battling advanced ovarian cancer when she arrived there on Thursday. The doctors said the cause of death was respiratory failure.
News of her death led to tributes to King across Atlanta, including a moment of silence in
the Georgia Capitol and piles of flowers placed at the tomb of her slain husband. Flags at the King Center — the institute devoted to the civil rights leader's legacy — were lowered to half-staff.
"She wore her grief with grace. She exerted her leadership with dignity," the Rev. Joseph Lowery, who helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference with King's husband in 1957.
Former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young, one of Martin Luther King's top aides, said Coretta Scott King's fortitude rivaled
that of her husband.
"She was strong, if not stronger,
than he was," Young said.
Coretta Scott King was a supportive lieutenant to her husband during the most dangerous and tumultuous days of the civil rights movement, and after his assassination in Memphis, Tenn., on April 4, 1968, she carried on his work while also raising their four children.
"I'm more determined than ever that my husband's dream, will become a reality," the young widow said soon after his slaying.

The adjustment allows Aquila to use the wholesale price of natural gas to update consumer bills from month to month.
Aquila's purchased gas adjustment clause allows the company to pass onto customers any price change in the cost of natural gas. Conversely, it can also allow Aquila to decrease customer's bills when natural gas prices are low, Long said.
"That's insane," Pachefsky said of the increases. "This winter is almost over, but there are a lot of people who have to live paycheck to paychee, so it really sucks for them."
There does not, however, appear to be a decrease in the immediate future.
Pachefsky said that his parents took care of many of his expenses, including utilities, but he said he tried to learn from his roommate just how important it was to be conscientious about bills.

Fans’ jokes and rants about martial arts expert and actor are making the rounds, thanks to the Web and word of mouth.
Chances are you’ve seen this bearded beauty on TV. Whether he was sending an opponent to the mats with a roundhouse kick or propelling a ninja through a window in one of his numerous cheesy films, you know who Chuck Norris is.
His films have all been borderline embarrassing, but most likely you’ve caught a glimpse of one. He’s appeared in 24 movies, dating back to 1969, and most notably starred as the title character in “Walker, Texas Ranger” from 1993 to 2001 on CBS. His real claim to fame has nothing to do with his acting, however. It’s his martial arts expertise and devilish charm that catapulted him into stardom.
In a matter of months, the 65-year-old Norris has made it back to the masses. If you go to www.google.com and type in “Chuck Norris Jokes,” you’ll see why he’s become widely popular again. Roughly 450,000 hits appear on most search engines, including Google.
Why is it that Norris became the butt of jokes all of the sudden? Was it his cameo in “Dodgeball” as a judge where he gave his notorious thumbs-up of approval that sparked fan interest?
“I think, as fans, we want everyone out there to know the truth about Chuck Norris,” said Joe Dougherty, Olathe junior. “All we’re doing is recognizing his accomplishments. Who else can honestly say they’ve counted to infinity twice?”
The jokes have seen the likes of “Saturday Night Live” and many late-night talk shows. Even if you don’t think they are funny, or maybe think they are just flat-out immature, you’ve still got to be impressed with their creativity.
Here's an example of a local Chuck Norris joke, compliments of Josh Walton, San Francisco graduate student.
“Chuck Norris actually can touch M.C. Hammer,” Walton said.
One Google search found a list of Chuck Norris jokes at www.collegehumor.com. “The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain,” the Web site said.
Norris himself doesn’t seem to mind at all.
“I’m aware of the made up declarations about me that have recently begun to appear on the Internet and in e-mails as ‘Chuck Norris facts,’” Norris said in a press release on his Web site, www.chucknorris.com. “I've seen some of them. Some are funny. Some are pretty far out.”
“Being more a student of the Wild West than the world of the Internet, quite sure what to make of it. It's quite surprising.”

OUR OPINION
Office must disclose details immediately
PAGE 6A
On Oct. 29, after the KU football team's victory against Missouri, a KU Public Safety Officer used pepper spray on a group of Jayhawk fans carrying part of a goalpost. The University of Kansas has not seen an encounter like this in quite some time and it quickly turned into a high-profile affair on campus.
We applaud the KU Public Safety Office's thorough investigation of the matter and its decision to reveal its findings; however, given the infrequent and serious nature of what transpired, the office should have responded immediately. The office also should be expected to respond with full disclosure because it is accountable to the students, faculty and staff of the University.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey said the office wanted to take time on the investigation because it was a personnel matter. He said he did not know how long the inquiry took, though he did know the results were not ready at the end of last semester, when a reporter from The University Daily Kansan asked about the altercation. In fact, it took nearly three months
— from the end of October when the incident occurred to the middle of January — to get a definitive answer on the matter from the office.
Did it really take that long to figure out that the officer's

Stance: The use of force should prompt an explanation.
actions were justified? Haven't murders been solved in this kind of time frame?
When a use of force against students occurs, especially when Bailey said he could not recall another incident occurring on campus comparable to this one, circumstances must be different. It is unfortunate that an event like this is necessary to break the normally tight-lipped stance the office takes with reporters. The Kansan still does not have any extra knowledge from the office except that the officer thought that he being charged and that his use of pepper spray was justified.
Next time a use of force against students by those charged with protecting them occurs on campus, the office must be more forthright and punctual in its answers as a service to us all.
"Typically in these situations we don't announce the results, but in this case we answered the reporter's questions," Bailey said.

Kansas shouldn't get ahead of itself
I am a student at the University of Nebraska.
I came to Lawrence from Lincoln, Neb., for the basketball game between Nebraska and Kansas. The Jajyawks beat the hell out of us.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Congratulations to Kansas. It seems to be on the rise in the Big 12.
That being said, however, I couldn't help but notice how ridiculous the chant of "Just like football!" was.
Yes, you defeated our football team. There's no doubt about it. The mighty Crimson and Blue played their hearts out that day, and for that, I applaud them.
of Kansas is thrilled by beating our football team once every 37 years, so proud that they chant it at an unrelated sport, let's just say we'll take it.
Now, I'm not trying to stir anything up, but if Kansas State University won the football game between your two schools next year and started chanting "Just like basketball," even though they had beaten you for the first time in 30-some tries, tell me you wouldn't say they were a bunch of idiots.
But, frankly, if the University
I hope you enjoyed the Fort Worth Bowl.

COMMENTARY
Realtionships are minefields; the battle rages in our hearts
Forget Baghdad and the West Bank, the real war in the world today is being waged behind our own closed doors.
There are no guns and bombs in this war because the front line today is in the bedroom. These things that we call sex and relationships are the true art of warfare in the 21st century.
Eighties pop singer Pat Benatar was right: Love really is a battlefield. We are all soldiers fighting this battle to the death.
Every weekend we arm ourselves with three different shades of MAC lip gloss packed in our favorite Vuitton or Coach clutch or splash on another deadly mix of the latest Calvin Klein or Abercrombie cologne.
Someone should have told Donald Rumsfeld to look no further for weapons of mass destruction than on the bodies and in the minds of every single young person in this nation.
We slap on our usual uniform of expertly distressed jeans and tight-fitting T-shirt. We groom and primp and pre-drink and then groom and primp again with as much intensity as 1,000 Kamikaze troops in World War II.

Every night we ritually ready

ourselves with the weapons of our warfare in our awkward, exhilarating — and sometimes devastating — search for love, lust and companionship.
For some of us that search ends in our bedrooms where our wildest fantasies, dullest experiences or most horrifying nightmares come true.
It is here, with the fortification of our bedroom door protecting us like a desert tank that we become warriors of a different sort.
It is in the bedroom we are freed from the wearisome tasks of our everyday lives and we are transformed into creatures utterly different from our normal mundane selves.
Whether we are gay, straight, bisexual, male, female, transgender, single, dating, engaged or married, at some point, we have all taken part in the modern mating ritual.
Whether we have found love or had our hearts stomped on
Someone should have told Donald Rumsfeld to look no further for weapons of mass destruction than on the bodies and in the minds of every single young person in this nation.
and thrown out in a million shattered little pieces, we have all served valiantly in this frantic battle between sexual and emotional fulfillment.
Some of us are veterans of this war, valiantly sporting the Purple Hearts of battles gone by.
Others are newer to the ranks and therefore must suffer through the toughest of training in dating rituals, flirtation drills, sexual etiquette and all other embarrassing and awkward matters that will one day prepare us to fight on the front lines.
As author Norman Mailer so correctly put it "There is nothing safe about sex. There never will be."
He was right, because when you invite this war into your
own bedroom, you invite all the good and bad that can come with it.
You make yourself vulnerable to the inevitable barrage of shrapnel that will fly your way. In the bedroom, just like on the battlefield, things are never pretty.
We have lost a lot of good men (and women) out there, but we keep fighting, because that is all we know.
It is the sheer exhilation of the fight that attracts us. That inescapable attraction is why every other week this semester I will be examining another issue from the love and sex battle front.
I will do this not to prescribe any solutions or to offer any explanations in this fierce engagement of modern relationships.
I know and understand no more than you.
I write more as an observer and participant, rather than as an expert, because, just like you. I am fighting this battle too.
So fight on until next time, friends.

COMMENTARY
eBay hazards may deplete your wallets
On Jan. 28, I sold two tickets on eBay for a New Year's Eve concert in Denver.
With only three days before the show, I hurried to the post office to get the tickets in the mail, to save my buyer in Denver some worries and money on shipping.
Later that day, I checked my mail to see if this guy, we'll call him Dick, had sent me the payment for the tickets. Instead, I opened an e-mail telling me he no longer wanted to buy them. Did I ever wish I could retrieve those tickets from the mailbox!
DAVID ARMSTRONG opinion@kansan.com
I know, from a completely capitalistic, strictly business point-of-view, I should have waited for payment before sending the tickets, but I was trying to do Dick a favor. I decided to send Dick a reminder that, according to eBay policy, "Buyers automatically enter into a legally binding contract to purchase the item from the seller if they win the online auction."
Dick knew I had him there, and he asked me to help him resell these tickets that were now technically his. I told him the tickets were already in the mail, and there was no way to get them back in time for me to resell them.
Dick responded with a huffy message saying that his address had changed, and since he no longer lived at the address I "rushed" the tickets to, he would not honor our agreement.
He finished with, "I am disputing the amount you claim I owe and will be filing an appropriate objection with eBay... So, to you I wish good luck in locating your tickets sent into
Neverland with the United States Postal Service."
In other words, Dick wanted to stick me with the tickets, no payment, and a bad rep on eBay. I knew it was partially my fault for trying to get the tickets to him quickly. I was encouraged, though, when I called Dick and we agreed to work together to solve our mutual problem. At one point he threatened, I'll "see you in court and eat the tickets for breakfast," but we eventually settled on a plan.
Dick agreed go to his old address to look for the package containing the tickets, and we agreed to try meet up somehow in Denver before the day of the show.
I spent a couple of hours wondering how this situation could possibly work out for me, but finally Dick called me to say that the people living at his old address had received the package and were kind enough to hand it over to him.
Now, all that Dick had to do to get himself out of this was deliver the tickets to a friend of mine, who conveniently lived in Denver. The package was delivered as promised and I arrived the next day. After meeting up with my friend and seeing the package that I never should have mailed, I was relieved. But I still had to sell these tickets!
This gave me the opportunity to explore Denver and find the venue. It didn't take long to find two people willing to buy the tickets, and away I walked, ecstatic that everything had worked out for me and for Dick as well.
Lesson learned: When it comes to eBay, and to buying and selling in general, little room exists for favors and friendliness, because in the marketplace, it's everyone for himself.

It would be funnier if it wasn't true.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★●You might test your mental limits. Don't push yourself for solutions. A discussion could be more enlightening anyway. Pressure builds. You'll find out what you need to know. You feel refreshed and relieved later in the p.m.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) **★★You might be frustrated by what happens when you relax and don't respond immediately. You find ways of dealing with others that could be novel and more than successful. Pressure builds.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ***** Deal
with others with understanding and
knowledge of where you are going.
Someone might back your ideas.
You might want to pull back and think
through some information. Double-check
your facts.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ***** Others are in control. You will opt to do your thing and simply observe others. Toss yourself into a project that inspires you. Let go and enjoy yourself. You might find someone much easier to deal with later in the day.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ***** Others run
with the ball. All you can do is trot right
behind them! A partner could inspire
you. Together you can create a lot of
interesting events and feelings. By late
afternoon, you could view someone a lot
differently.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) **Jump into the trenches (so to speak) and complete your to-do list. Someone might intrigue you with a new idea or simply a new way of presenting him - or herself. You will like having the free time this afternoon.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★ When a procedure or action doesn't work, you might want to ground it. Your creativity encourages others to think facts through. Someone might be a little lax with his or her finances. Take charge later in the day.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ You might be mind-boggled by a child or new friend in your life. You also might be putting this person on a pedestal. Try to take off your rose-colored glasses. Ultimately, you will be happier with a dose of reality.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) *****
You are coming from a sound place, but you might be forced to change your tune because of someone else. Your sixth sense pitches in where you might lack words. In fact, you – yes, you – could be speechless for at least a minute! Tonight: Take a midweek break.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ***** What you say has an impact. Consider being more in tune with those around you, and choose your words accordingly. You will get better results. Others could easily overwhelm you with their news.
AQUARIUS (Jan, 20-Feb. 18) ★★ ★ Be especially careful when dealing with finances and others. You might not like the consequences otherwise. Even your keen intuition could be deceptive and just wishful thinking. Do more questioning.
PISCES (Feb, 19-March 20) *****
You might be on a roll, but if you look around, you'll see that others are not. Someone needs your time and attention. Do what needs is necessary to pitch in. Confusion might surround what you think is a great idea or plan.

Question #4: What is the key to the baseball team's success this season?
Answer: Pitching. The Jayhawks have some issues to work out in the starting rotation. Kansas coach Ritch Price said the team had never been deeper, but the quality of that depth has yet to be seen. They'll start evaluating tonight against Hawaii-Hilo. With junior Sean Land and senior Kodiak Quick as locks to be in the weekend rotation, Price will be looking for a third man to solidify a staff that lost southpaw Mike Zagurski to graduation. Price will look to senior Ricky Fairchild, a transfer from Tulane, who posted a less-than-stellar 6.29 ERA in relief last season for the Green Wave. Preshmen Nick Czyz and Andy Marks are also possibilities.
Question #5: Can the softball team get over last year's shower scandal and build off its NCAA tournament appearance?
Answer: What was forgotten in the tumultuous offseason for coach Tracy Bunge and her squad was that they were a success between the lines. Kansas finished sixth in the Big 12 and advanced to the tournament for the first time since 1999. This season the league's coaches picked
the Jayhawks to finish seventh despite the return of four allBig 12 performers, including senior Serena Settlemier, the ace of last year's pitching staff. With seniors Destiny Frankenstein, Heather Stanley and Jessica Moppin still in the lineup, this team will surprise the detractors and improve upon last season's results.
Oh yeah, and ladies, we love those shorts.
There you have it. Five questions, all answered. That's probably the most I've ever accomplished on a Friday.

NHL
St. Louis feeling a little Blue Fire sale begins; Weight and Sillinger traded
By R.B. FALLSTROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — No offense to the Carolina Hurricanes, but just a few hours after joining them in a trade former St. Louis Blues forward Doug Weight was plotting how he might boomerang back to his old team by next season.
Right now, the fire sale is in full swing for the Blues, formerly a model of consistency with 25 consecutive playoff appearances but presently saddled with the NHL's worst record. For the first time in decades, they're selling off talent instead of stockpiling for the postseason with Weight and Mike Sillinger getting shipped out in a 24-hour period.
This follows the preseason trade of star defenseman Chris Pronger, and the trade deadline is more than a month away. The remaining veterans are left to wonder who'll be next.
Claiming a loss of $40 million in the season before the lockout, team owners Bill and Nancy Laurie put the franchise on the market last summer and then gutted the roster to facilitate a sale that could be finalized this week. The favorite, for the second time during the process, is a group headed by former NBA executive Dave Checketts
Thus, Weight's ambivalence about going from worst to first in the trade to the Hurricanes, who have the best record in the NHL for prospects and draft picks. Sure, he'll love playing on a Stanley Cup contender, but he hates uprooting his family and has nothing but positive things to say about the Blues organization.
"It stinks," he said of being traded. "but I'm excited."
Then again, he'll be an unrestricted free agent after this season and said the Hurricanes did not mention a long term contract. Before leaving town he said he'd love to return to the Blues once the bonfire has burned out and new owners interested in building a contender are in charge.
"I'm not afraid to say I love St. Louis," Weight said. "It's a place that's dear to me and it's a place where I'd love to end up. Who knows? Before you turn around I could be back here."
In the meantime, the team has nothing to look forward to. With only 32 points and a roster filled with no-names due to the cost-cut
ting, they long ago conceded the end of a playoff run that dated to the 1979-80 season.
On Monday night the team responded to the latest trade with an inspired 3-2 shootout
In the long term, the team believes, the Blues will be better for it. Most of the playoff appearances in professional sports' longest run were short and sweet, punctuating mediocre seasons.
They paid for it with lower draft picks, which kept them firmly stuck in the middle of the NHL. Their appearance in the 2001 Western Conference finals was the first time since 1986 that they made it past the second round.
GOLF
Among the bounty for Weight is the Hurricanes' first-round pick in this spring's Entry Draft, which will help the team rebuild from

the ashes.
More often, the team is simply outgunned. It's a situation that's testing the patience of the everloyal fan base who used to fill the Savvis Center on a nightly basis but now appears increasingly alienated. There were rows upon rows of empty seats at the Flames game, the norm for this season, along with an inflated announced attendance of 13,310 based on tickets sold.

Players seem to understand it's the cold, hard business side of the game.
Pleau said fans would soon be rewarded.
"That's part of it as you get older and unrestricted," Drake said. "No offense, I trade all of us, too."
"What I would tell them is stick with us," Pleau said. "This franchise is going to get healthy again.

After a slew of mediocre results last fall, the Kansas men's golf team is hoping to rebound as the spring season begins.
File photo
The Jayhawks placed sixth or worse in their final three tournaments of the fall after starting the season with a promising firstplace finish in the Kansas Invitational.
They face a challenging spring schedule leading up to the NCAA Regionals on May 18.
Kansas coach Ross Randall, in his 27th season at the University, said he believed his team had the potential to show improvement throughout the spring.
"I'm thinking this year the guys are going to start playing a little better as the season goes, and we'll peak at the right time, which is April and May." Randall said.
Randall's optimism was based on the work his players had done to stay sharp during the winter months.
Many Jayhawk golfers spent winter break polishing their skills in warm locales such as Arizona
and Florida.
"I think the biggest key for me is believing that I deserve to be out there with the best players."
The unseasonally warm conditions of January had even allowed the players who stayed in Lawrence to get some practice in.
"I think the biggest key for me

is believing that I deserve to be out there with the best players," Woodland said.
The team will tee off February 8th at the University of Hawaii Hilo Intercollegiate Tournament in Waikoloa, Hawaii. Randall has already set his lineup for the event, choosing to start seniors Pete Krsnich, Luke Trammell and Jason Sigler alongside Woodland and redshirt freshman Zach Pederson.
Randall said he realized the importance of getting off to a good start against a strong field of
teams in Hawaii.
"It's good to be able to play against some really good teams right away and see how we compare to them." he said.
Woodland said the team seemed poised to overcome all obstacles and become a more competitive force in the Big 12 Conference.
"We're making strides to get off to a good start in this first tournament," he said. "The sky's the limit from there."

You know, the ones with the stuff written across the back?
That's the first thing that came to my mind Friday afternoon as I was enjoying the beautiful weather with friends at a local outdoor establishment. I was dreaming of spring, a time when such weather will be commonplace. That led me, naturally, to my second thought: What will we be talking about come March with respect to KU athletics?
The thought was intriguing. There are a lot of issues to hash out in a lot of different sports at the University before we can know what we'll see. I decided I would take on the task of finding the five most pressing questions, and then I'd answer them.
After my nap, of course.
Question #1: Will the men's basketball team jell completely in time for a tournament run?
Answer: This is a tough question right out of the gate. This is a different Kansas team than the team that played in Maui, Hawaii. Before making a run, the Jayhawks have to make the NCAA tournament. With an RPI hovering around 80 and with fewer than 40 days until Selection Sunday, the Jayhawks have some work to do. The true test will come Sunday when Oklahoma, fresh off a victory against rival Texas, steps into Allen Fieldhouse.
Question #2: If the said tournament run does happen, how many of our freshmen will be back next year?
Answer: With the possible exception of guard Brandon Rush, it's safe to say that they will all return for their sophomore seasons.
MATT WILSON
MWILSON@KANSAN.COM
Forward Julian Wright has made big strides so far, but he still has a lot of wrinkles in his game that he needs to iron out. He is a raw talent that could use another year to mature. Guard Mario Chalmers has made the biggest improvements of any of the freshmen, but he is definitely a four-year player. He and sophomore guard Russell Robinson make up the toughest defensive backcourt in the Big 12. We're blessed to have them together for the next two years. Rush may be wise to make the jump because he has all the tools to do so. As for guard Micah Downs, I'm pretty sure he's not coming back.
Question #3: Can Kansas women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson and the Jayhawks pull it together in time to save their season?
Answer: Their confidence took a serious blow Saturday when they were waxed by Baylor, but they have a chance to bounce back tonight against Colorado. The 'Buffs beat the 'Hawks in the first meeting, and a triumph by Kansas might get the team back on track. With a 2-5 conference record, the Jayhawks probably need to win five or six of their last nine games to get to the Big Dance. With a tough road ahead (at No. 11 Oklahoma and two games against 5-2 Missouri), the chances appear very slim.

Hawaii trip all business

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
For the typical baseball fan, kicking back and watching an opening day game is a little piece of paradise. figuratively speaking.
For Kansas, however, that paradise is quite literal.
For the fourth consecutive year, the Jayhawks will fly to Hawaii to open their season against the University of Hawaii-Hilo Vulcans. Tonight's first pitch is set for 11 p.m.
"It's really an outstanding place to open the season." Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "It also helps prepare us for the next weekends against West Coast teams where we'll be outside everyday."
Despite the tropical locale, Price said he had every intention of making it clear that the trip was strictly baseball.
"Everybody thinks this is a glamorous place to go and it is — when you go in the summertime," Price said. "But it's all business, no doubt about that."
His players echoed that thought.
"I think we might have one day off, but it's going to be party enough just playing." freshman catcher Buck Afenir said.
Hilo, an independent Division I program, will kick off its 30th season tonight after a dismal 6-34 mark last year.
Much like the Jayhawks, the Vulcans will return nearly their entire set of infielders and outfielders. Kansas will only have to fill the catcher and left fielder

♦ Kansas — Kodiak Quick (10-6, 3.41 ERA last season)
♦ Hawaii-Hilo — Vinny Biggs (1-7, 6.80 ERA last season)
positions left vacant because of graduations.
When the two got together last season, the Jayhawks swept the series, outscoring them 56-18 in the process.
Sophomore third baseman Erik Morrison said the team would use the trip as a learning experience.
"We don't look at Hawaii for us to go out and beat up on a team." Morrison said. "We go out and see what areas we need to go out and improve on to start the non-conference season, which is a lot tougher this year."
The Jayhawks will arrive in Hawaii a little weary. On top of the strain of an eight-hour flight, the Jayhawks were in classes at the beginning of the week and won't take off for Los Angeles until Tuesday night.
Price said his team was ready to go despite the travel schedule.
"We've played as good as any team I've coached in the last 10 days," he said. "We're knocking the ball around as good as it can be done. We're ready to start seeing some different-colored jerseys, too."

Kansas Jayhawks (13-5, 2-5 Big 12)
MEN'S BASKETBALL
Player to watch:
Junior guard Shaquina Mosley. After spending the first months of the season on the bench, she took the starting spot from freshman Ivana Catic on Saturday. Her athleticism allows her to play aggressively, and it is rare for a player to get an uncontested shot on her.
Handle the zone defense. When Kansas visited Colorado in January, the Buffalooes used a zone defense to shut down the Jayhawks' scoring attack. Since then, the Jayhawks have improved against zone defenses, but success will hinge on whether the KU guards can make three-pointers against the zone. That would allow senior forward Crystal Kemp more room to work inside.
Season in review:
With a 2-5 conference record, all five remaining home games become must-win situations to keep NCAA tournament hopes alive for Kansas. Kansas has played well at home this season, losing only once in Allen Fieldhouse to Texas A&M.

Losses no matter to Jayhawks
The Big 12 Championship, which seemed like an extreme thought two weeks ago, is now in plain sight.
The Jayhawks are tied for second place in the Big 12 Conference and are only a half game back of Texas.
"From the get-go I thought we were going to be real good," freshman guard Brandon Rush said. "Everything would start to come along and it has, so we are proving people wrong. They said we were going to get killed in Big 12 play and what are we, third? Second. That's good."
"I think the appearance was, from our stand point a week and a half ago or two weeks ago, that we might lose contact with the leaders, particularly Texas," Kansas coach Bill self said.
The Jayhawks have their thoughts set on bigger things like winning the Big 12 Conference.
After four straight victories, back-to-back losses to Kansas State and Missouri appear to be forgotten for the Kansas men's basketball team.
Kansas has also won 10 of its last 12 games.

If it weren't for Oklahoma beating Texas, Kansas would be further back in the conference race. Rooinson said he watched the Oklahoma-Texas game Saturday night.
Kansas has nine remaining games — five in Allen Fieldhouse and four on the road. This weekend's game against Oklahoma will be important for the conference standings. The Sooners are 4-2 in conference play and have won four straight, including an 82-72 victory against conference-leading Texas last weekend. Kansas also will play Texas in Austin in a few weeks, which could decide how the top of the Big 12 shapes up.

"That is one of our goals, is to win the Big 12 and we just try to take it one game at a time, prepare for each game, and I think we have done a good job of that so far." Robinson said.
"I kind of wanted them to win, to kind of make the game on Sunday more interesting." Robinson said.
Self said the chances of winning the Big 12 and keeping up in the conference standings depended on the outcome on Sunday against Oklahoma.
"A win on Sunday would certainly enhance ours because I don't think Texas is going to lose very many games," Self said.

FOOTBALL
Mangino secures highly rated class
BY DREW DAVISON
ddavison@kansan.com
ddavison SPORTSWITER
His older brother, Noah, is on the football team at Kansas State. The coach who recruited him to Kansas recently left for Wisconsin. Neither of those factors deterred Phillip Strozier from signing his letter of intent to play football for the Jayhawks.
Yesterday, football coach Mark Mangino announced the signing of 21 high school football players — 11 on offense and 10 on defense. ESPN.com has this recruiting class ranked No. 36 in the country, the best since Mangino arrived in Lawrence.
Strozier, a defensive back out of Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Mo., and a rivals.com three-star recruit, said he felt most comfortable at Kansas.
"It's close to home and the program is on the rise. It's also a great academic school," he said.
Strozier said he felt no pressure to sign with Kansas State even though his brother was in the program.
"He said he wanted it to be my decision." Strozier said.
When former Kansas recruiting coordinator Dave Doeren left for Wisconsin during break, Strozier was still set on Kansas.
"Coach Doeren called me and explained the situation. I wish him the best of luck," Strozier said.
Mangino said after Strozier committed, there was no wavering on his part.
Strozier's high school teammate, linebacker Sal Capra, also inked his name with the Jayhawks. Capra has been compared to 2005 starter Kevin Kane, who also played at Rockhurst. Mangino said Capra was bigger than Kane coming out of high school.
Mangino said he had always respected Rockhurst for developing quality football players. At Oklahoma, Mangino recruited Brandon Shelby, who was a running back and defensive back at Rockhurst and became a valuable nickel back for the Sooners.
With three graduating cornerbacks, Mangino said Strozier and fellow signee Anthony Webb would have an opportunity to start next season.
"Nobody has a job penciled in stone opposite Aqib Talib," Mangino said.
The recruiting class stretches all across the country, with nine recruits from Texas, three from Kansas, three from Oklahoma, two from Missouri, two from Florida, one from Colorado and one from California.

Mangino said that the team was thin at quarterback and that recruit Todd Reesing, who was currently enrolled at Kansas, would get snaps during spring drills.
Mangino said Reesing was similar to former Jayhawk quarterback Bill Whitemore with his ability to find passing lanes despite his height of 5 feet 11 inches.
Another player who will add depth at quarterback is Tyler Lawrence, a quarterback from Shawnee Mission West High School in Overland Park. Mangino said Lawrence "tore it up" in summer camp and was from right in Kansas' backyard. That will make him a familiar face next fall for some students.
Brady Ingalls, Shawnee junior, said he remembered playing with Lawrence during his senior year, when Lawrence was a freshman.
"Everyone called him 'Sunshine' because he had 'hippy' long hair and he was a leafy." Ingalls said. Ingalls said the nickname was in reference to the quarterback in the film "Remember the Titans" and that Lawrence was not the biggest fan of the nickname his teammates gave him.
Another notable recruit was running back Jake Sharp from Salina Central in Salina. Mangino said Sharp's first step would be as a special teams contributor.
"He is speedy and quick. He is also a hard-nosed, tough kid." Mangino said.

Hall changes alcohol policy
BY RACHEL PARKER

KANSAK STAFF WRITER
Naismith Hall dismissed its lax alcohol policy and enforced new regulations to prevent unlawful drinking.
At a mandatory residence hall meeting on Jan. 25, a representative from the property owner, AIMCO University Communities, told students that no open drinks would be allowed after 10 p.m.
Undercover officers from the Alcoholic Beverage Control would also be allowed on the property to give Breatha-
lyzer tests at any given time.
A "red cup policy" has been the traditional standard for the hall, in which students could drink an open beverage at any time as long as alcoholic beverages were not visible or identifiable.
Kimmy Lear, Minneapolis, Minn., freshman and Naismith resident, said the meeting addressed complaints from students that provoked the administration to buckle down.
Lear also said that resident assistants had repeatedly issued warnings and write ups to residents for noise in the

Senate needs to fill eight positions
BY NICOLE KELLEY
nkelley@kansan.com
KANSAST STAFF WRITER
An incomplete Student Senate held its first meeting of the semester last night with eight senator positions still needing to be filled.
During the meeting, five names of the current senators were drawn out of a cup to form the committee that will interview the 17 students who applied for the open spots.
"As a senate we want to make sure every student is represented and has a voice so we want to make sure every seat is filled," said Shane
The following seats are open: two junior/senior College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senators, two social welfare senators, one freshman/ sophomore College of Liberal Arts and Sciences serator, one off-campus student senator, one business student senator and one graduate student senator.
Kucena, Omaha, Neb., senior and committee chairman.
Now that the committee has been chosen, the interviewing process will begin. Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior and Student Senate Executive Committee Chairman, said the new senators should be
chosen in time to attend the next full meeting in two weeks.
"We just really hope they jump right in, and the sooner they disappear within the crowd and I can't tell the difference between them and the old senators, the better," Boots said.
He said the previous senators left Student Senate for a variety of reasons, including internships in other cities and being too busy to fulfill the job requirements.
Adam Hurly, Sioux Falls, S.D., freshman and member of the committee that will interview applicants, said the people who filled the post-
tions should be able to take a proactive stance and understand that there was more to the job than just attending regular meetings.
Hannah Love, Dodge City sophomore and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Senator, said the seat should be filled by "someone that can use the position in a productive manner."
He said they needed to be willing to write bills, visit meetings of different campus organizations and, most importantly, be open and available to the students of the University.

Gale Agrawal will be the first woman to serve as the dean of the KU School of Law. She named the new dean on Wednesday and will start July 1.
Agrawal is currently interim dean at the University of North Carolina law school. Early in her career, she served as a law clerk to former Supreme Court Justice, Sandra Day O'Connor.
Agrawal will be replacing Michael Davis, professor of law, who was serving as interim dean. Davis replaced Stephen McAllister, professor of law, when McAllister resigned as dean and returned to teaching in August.

"I'm looking forward to working with a faculty that is absolutely marvelous, talented, smart and gracious," she said.

Tuition law contested
TOPEKA — Students, teachers and immigration lawyers testified Wednesday before a House committee about a bill that would repeal a state law that gives some undocumented immigrants a tuition break at state universities.
The 2004 law allows undocumented immigrants to qualify for in-state tuition if they attended a Kansas high school for at least three years and graduated or earned a General Educational Development certificate in Kansas.
They must also be seeking legal immigration status.
Opponents of the bill to repeal the law say forcing immigrant students to pay higher tuition would put college out of reach for some of the state's brightest students.
"Students that work hard ought to be given every opportunity," said Reggie Robinson, president of the Kansas Board of Regents, who testified against the bill. "This law is about giving talented graduates from our Kansas high schools an opportunity to contribute to the state
and its economy."
The bill's supporters said offering in-state tuition to people who have violated federal immigration laws will lure more illegal immigrants to Kansas.
"This issue has major repercussions for how we deal with illegal immigrants," said Rep. Becky Hutchins, R-Holton, who introduced the bill.
Cindy Perez, 18, said she was able to study international law and business at Pittsburg State University only because her family could afford to send her to school at the discounted rate.
"What's going to be next?" she added. "Are we going to give out drivers licenses?"
"It's kind of upsetting," said Perez, who grew up in Olathe, but whose family is from Chihuahua, Mexico. "I'm just barely in the door, and suddenly they're going to slam it in my face."
As the hearing veered into discussions about federal immigration policy and the changing racial composition of Kansas towns, legislators said they wanted to help immigrants but don't want to encourage people to come to Kansas illegally.

1. In the NCAA tournament. The hardest part of the Big 12 schedule is behind them. It will end up with a winning conference record and an NCAA berth.
2. In the NIT. The victory against Texas was nice, but the team will struggle to win half of its remaining games and be happy to play in the NIT.
3. No postseason at all. The 12-0 start was a product of good fortune and easy scheduling. The Lady Jayhawks will be lucky to win two or three more games against a superior Big 12 conference.

Chi Omega helps girl get to Disney World
Fouryear-old Rainy Cook visited Walt Disney World this week, thanks partly to funds raised by the University of Kansas chapter of Chi Omega for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
"We just got an e-mail from her mom saying they're at Disney World right now," Mallory Hammersmith, Chi Omega president said. Hammersmith said the members were looking forward to seeing pictures when her family returns.
The chapter raised more than $5,000 in September to pay for the trip.
Cook is expected to visit the house after her trip, but Hammersmith said it would be dependent on Cook's health.
Cook has a cyst on her brain stem that was too big to remove, said Jessica Elkouri, fall philanthropy chairwoman for Chi Omega. Because of the cyst, Cook experiences between eight and 20 seizures every day, Elkouri said.
Elkouri said raising the money for Cook's trip was a wonderful experience for everyone involved.
"Both our house and Rainy benefitted," she said.
Chi Omega has raised more than $10,000 in the past two years for Make-A-Wish. In 2004, the chapter sponsored 8-year-old Elora's trip to Walt Disney World.

Sprint reveals new division's name, logo
KANSAS CITY. Mo. — After months of secrecy, Sprint Nextel Corp., said Wednesday that its local telephone division will be named Embarq when it separates this spring to become its own company.
Besides the name, the company also unveiled the new logo, an arrow-like symbol in three shades of green.
Embarq will be the fifthlargest local phone company in the country.
The company will remain based in Overland Park on a part of Sprint's corporate campus.
The Rev. Fred Phelps prepares to protest outside the Kansas Statehouse in Topeka Wednesday. Phelps addressed the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee after the protest. A senate bill would restrict protests at funerals.

Phelps denounces proposed bill

CARL MANNING THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"The bill is invidiously discriminatory against only our religious message, violates only our First Amendment rights, and appears to be the product of passion, prejudice and pandering — targeting only our church," Phelps said.
TOPEKA — Brandy Sacco fidgeted and fought back tears as the Rev. Fred Phelps Sr. told senators why he and his followers have a legal right to picket funerals of slain soldiers, such as her husband.
"We can't be lawfully moved out of sight of our target audience," Phelps said Wednesday to the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee. "You have no legitimate public interest here."
In recent months, Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church members have picked funerals of soldiers around the nation, often with placards stating "Thank God for IEDs," and "God Hates America."
Phelps and his church contend U.S. troops are being killed in Iraq as vengeance from God for protecting a country that harbors homosexuals.
The proposed bill says nobody can picket or have a protest march within 300 feet of any entrance to where a funeral service is being conducted one hour before, during or two hours after the service. The committee heard from nearly a dozen witnesses but took no action on the measure.
Similar legislation is being considered in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and West Virginia, all prompted by Phelps' funeral protests.
The current law says only that it is illegal to picket "before or about" a funeral service. Phelps said that has been "authoritatively construed" in Topeka to be 90 feet. Supporters of the bill say the law is too vague and a specific distance is needed.
He also characterized a military funeral as "a patriotic pep rally and recruiting depot for the military."
As he talked, Sacco listened, at times shaking her head in disbelief as her husband's wedding ring hung from a neck chain. Earlier, she shared her views about Phelps' group after her husband, Sgt. Dominic Sacco, 32, was killed in November.
"They choose to abuse these rights by harassment of a grieving wife and family. Such a lack of common decency should not be protected by law but punishable by the law," she said, her voice at times choking.
"The hardest thing I ever had to do in my life was to listen to their nonsense," Sacco told reporters after the hearing.
As for Phelps saying he was sharing his religious views, she said, "I didn't ask him to share his God with me because we obviously don't have the same God." Shortly after her husband was killed she received phone calls saying he "would burn in hell," she said. The calls stopped after she filed a complaint with police, she said.
Also backing the bill was Rep. Lee Tafanelli, who spent last year in Iraq as a lieutenant colonel in charge of a Kansas National Guard battalion that had two soldiers killed by enemy fire.
"This bill provides full opportunity for anyone to exercise their freedom of speech and their other constitutional duties," said Tafanelli, R-Ozawicki. "But more importantly, this bill gives a family the right to some privacy during their darkest hour, to grieve, honor and pay their respects to their loved on. This is a right they have earned and that they deserve."

"I just wish we would have had some hamburgers or marshmallows to roast," he said.
Johnson is quick to pause from his duties to tell a joke or share a story, but he takes pride in his work.
When Johnson's not working at Anschutz he can often be found fishing for crappie off the marina at Clinton Lake. After work he likes to take in a classic Western movie while enjoying a six-ounce glass of dry, red wine.
Greg Albrecht, circulation supervisor of Anschutz Library, has worked with Johnson for nearly two years and said that he has an amazing work ethic and that he genuinely cares about his duties. It is Johnson's thoughtfulness, however, that makes him such a great person to work with, he said.
"I like the stuff that makes you spit dust and tumbleweeds when you're finished," he said.

Johnson accidentally threw a student's pair of reading glasses that were hidden by newspapers in the trash. Later that night Johnson went inside the dumpster outside of Anschutz and went through every trash bag until he finally found the glasses.

Lauren Hendrix, Wichita junior, lived in Naismith during the 2003-2004 school year. She said if alcohol was seen, it was taken away and a verbal warning was given out. She didn't recall having any mandatory meetings, like the one last week, while she lived there.

Patriot Act under review
LAURIE KELLMAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The House on Wednesday agreed to extend the USA Patriot Act for a month while conservative Republicans and the White House work out changes intended to protect people from government intrusion.
The Senate was expected to follow before the law expires on Friday.
Just before leaving for Christmas, Congress extended the law until Feb. 3. Senate Democrats and four Republicans had blocked a final vote on a measure that would have made permanent most expiring provisions. The Republicans were concerned about excessive police powers.
"It is imperative that we not play political games with the tools that our law enforcement needs to prevent another terrorist attack," said the chairman of the House
judiciary Committee, Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis.
At issue are 16 provisions that Congress wanted reviewed and renewed by the end of last year.
Objections centered on the degree to which people and institutions that receive National Security Letters — secret requests for phone, business and Internet records — can appeal them in court.
House Democrats said they did not want the act to expire but are pressing for civil rights protections before renewing it permanently.
Originally passed five weeks after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the act was due to expire Dec. 31.
President Bush in his State of the Union speech Tuesday called on Congress to renew the expiring 16 provisions.
"We must extend it, mend it, but not end it," said Rep. Jane Harmon, top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee:
COMMUNICATION
Western Union puts 'stop' to telegrams
P. SOLOMON BANDA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — For more than 150 years, messages of joy, sorrow and success came in signature yellow envelopes hand delivered by a courier. Now the Western Union telegram is officially a thing of the past.
The company formed in April 1856 to exploit the hot technology of the telegraph to send cross-country messages in less than a day. The final telegram was delivered on Friday. Telegrams reached their peak popularity in the 1920s and 1930s when it was cheaper to send a telegram than to place a long distance telephone call. People would save money by using the word "stop" instead of periods to end sentences. Punctuation was extra while "stop" was free.
Samuel Morse, inventor of the Morse Code, sent the first telegram from Washington to Baltimore on May 26, 1844, to his partner Alfred Vail to usher in the telegram era that displaced the Pony Express. It read "WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT?"

Provost candidate shares her views
Q: What about the University appeals to you?
The editorial board plans to interview each candidate for provost as they are announced during the next few weeks. On Monday, Jason Shaad, opinion editor, Josh Bickel, managing editor and Ty Beaver, editorial writer, conducted a phone interview with provost candidate, Virginia Sapiro, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on several issues. The following are the questions and her selected answers.
P
Q: What about the University appeals to you?
A: It's a kind of university that I know well and admire and that is a very top-level institution that's devoted to both teaching and research. I've heard great things from people who are alumni. I have colleagues here who went to KU and ever since I visited, they haven't stopped talking about it, and I've heard the area is really beautiful. I found all of that when I was there.
Virginia Sapiro
Q: How would you approach the University's four-year graduation rate?
A: The first thing is to recruit the best students we can. The next thing is to make sure that, from the very beginning, from the first point at which students say 'Yes, I'm going to KU', that we give the kind of support and advice and help that's necessary for students to be as successful as possible. I'd be really interested in going further with Living Learning Communities, which I know you've begun to do, and of doing the kind of programming that really integrates student life and academics. The other thing is to make sure along the way that we are watching out for students that are at vulnerable periods in their lives, who are having a little bit of trouble. Not waiting for students to come to faculty and advisors, but finding ways of making sure faculty and staff are very much in touch with students and can be there to help when the students need help. is another thing. One other thing is that there is adequate financial aid all the way through, because one reason that students don't complete in four years or don't complete at all can be financial difficulties they are facing. So, we always have to be keeping an eye on financial issues for students.
A: I'd have to learn more about the policy that is there. I can't support anything that would allow underage drinking on public property and at the University. I think what's much more important than that is making sure there is very good education about alcohol and its effects. The real problem we face at many institutions today, including the one I'm at, is that there are too many students engaging in high-risk behavior and that includes not just alcohol, but a whole range of other activities. That would very much be my main focus, trying to figure out how to reduce the amount of high risk behavior students engage in.
Q: What is your stance concerning alcohol on campus, for example, at the Jaybowl in the Union?
Q: How do you feel about making end-of-term teacher evaluations available to the public?
A: The problems I have with making them public - I'm not necessarily opposed to them - but let me she's some of the problems there are. First of all, different professors teach the same courses over time. One thing that happens on campuses, like my own where they're made public, is students will look and see course evaluations for a particular course and not really connect with the fact that that person is not teaching the course anymore or that person teaches every other year. They don't actually have the evaluations of the instructor teaching the course. Another issue that's a problem is for especially our youngest, most junior faculty. There's a time when they're really learning their craft and it's like any other kind of job where you need help in learning how to get better. What happens on campuses where these are publicly posted is that students start shying away from those particular professors and they're really not given an opportunity to grow and get better. There's also some research that suggests that in anonymous course evaluations, where people aren't held accountable for what they say about other people, that there can be some racism and sexism and some of those. What I'd rather do is find really good ways of working with students and student organizations to make sure teaching keeps improving and that we find out which departments and which faculty need to shape up some more.
Q: What do you want to do to fulfill Chancellor Robert Hemenway's vision of KU as a top 25 university?
A: The first thing you have to do is break down what does that mean. When people say top 25 or top 10 or top million, what does that mean? And usually what people focus on is the number of graduate and Ph.D. programs that are individually ranked in the top 25, so it means holding up the research capability at the institution, the support for research and the quality of the faculty. It also means looking at each and every graduate program to find out whether it is really high quality, how does it compare to others and what is the very special area in each program that KU in particular can bring, so people in that field say, KU just has the greatest this kind of program or that kind of program.
For me, what it means is some of the kind of things you started to talk about earlier. To what degree do we have a great student body that graduates in a good period of time? To what degree is KU a place that has not only really good scholar teachers as professors, but also has other kinds of co-curricular activities and living learning activities that make it the kind of place that make it a great education? To foster the reputation, I'd also want to be looking again at what can we do to improve the whole educational program, to make sure that there are great co-curricular activities and that when alumni turn around and look back at their college years they say "I am so glad I went there."
Q: What is your snow day policy? We know it snows a lot up in Wisconsin and we don't set mann snow days here when it does snow
A: On snow days, if at all possible, I like to get my snow suit on and go out and make a snow person. I'm also pretty good at snow angels, and I promise if I'm there I will do a snow angel in the snow on campus.

Who do you want to control your file sharing programs?
What if your Internet service provider charged for every song you downloaded off Kazaa?
Welcome to the two-tiered, segregated and controlled Internet.
The death knell of unlimited Internet freedom — and your favorite peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing network could be around the corner if certain powerful Internet service providers have their way.
According to the Boston Globe, AT&T and BellSouth have been lobbying Congress to create a two-tiered Internet -- one tier for regular traffic and another for high-priority traffic.
To create their new Internet, companies will tag information to define at what speed it should travel.
These companies want to do away with network neutrality, the overriding principle that has governed the Internet. This concept states that information on the Internet should transfer as quickly as possible without regard to content. Congress is now debating whether to make network neutrality the law or do
PASHA MICHAEL BROOKS
COURTNEY FARR opinion@kansan.com
away with it and allow the new tiered Internet to develop.
If Congress abolishes network neutrality, they hand network operators the legal power to define how data moves through the Internet. These companies would have the power to control other companies' services, determine how fast we can download data, and potentially what we can download at all. But they sincerely promise not to abuse that power. Not even when tens of billions of dollars in revenue is at stake. Nope, scout's honor, they swear to play nice.
Kiss Kazaa goodbye folks. Delete eDonkey off your machines. Why? There is no money in those file sharing programs for the ISPs. They want to charge more money for data passing through their network.
P2P networks soak up hundreds of gigabytes of bandwidth with no one to bill. That is, no one except the users. Either P2P networks will be slowed to a point of being worthless or customers will have to pony up extra dollars based on how much bandwidth they use. Either way, the file sharing networks will suffer.
Your entire Internet experience may be the final victim of corporate greed.
SBC CEO Edward Whitacre, in a Business Week interview, said that he wants to be able to charge companies like Google or Yahoo for sending information over his company's network.
"Why should they be allowed to use my pipes," asked Whitacre. "The Internet can't be free in that sense, because we and the cable companies have made an investment and for a Google or Yahoo or Vonage or anybody to expect to use these pipes [for] free is nuts!"
Never mind that data on the Internet is already paid for twice; once by the sender and once by the receiver. Network operators
wants it paid for 3, 4 or 10 times over if possible.
In a letter to Congress, Vinton Cerf, a Google vice president, warned that current legislation "would do great damage to the Internet as we know it."
"Telephone companies cannot tell consumers who they can call; network operators should not dictate what people can do online."
Network operators could effectively hold the Internet hostage by determining who gets to run the fastest. How much would Google, Yahoo or MSN pay to be the fastest search engine?
Whitacre and his ilk have missed a major point. The only reason Internet traffic exists at all is thanks to the content providers.
Without content, there is no Internet. Without content, ISPs couldn't charge anyone to move data over their networks. In their shortsighted greed, they may chop off the hand that feeds them.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Professor's passing stirs hope, memories
were a reality.
I woke up that morning with George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" circling in my head. That morning I knew those words "all things must pass," were more than just song lyrics, but
Sitting down for a late afternoon lunch in the Union I picked up a left-behind copy of The University Daily Kansan in hopes of catching up on
JOHN E. GRANT
Snyder
the campus news. Following a couple page turns I was shocked and saddened by the articles of those connected to the University who had passed away during the course of winter break.
I was struck most by the news of Rick Snyder's death. The distinguished professor of psychology was, hands down, one of the best teachers I had ever had the
privilege of learning from. I ended up adding his class "Individual Differences" last semester after having dropped what appeared to be a not-so-thrilling psychology course. Adding his class was the best thing I could have done. Little did I know how much hope he would instill in me.
Rick's class was an unusual one: It was one that students actually wanted to attend. The Wescoe auditorium was holding warm bodies in nearly every seat each Tuesday and Thursday. He did not take attendance because he didn't have to. People simply wanted to come. His lectures were engaging and quite amusing, from his display of chewing on a girl's notes to putting on lip balm. He did what he had to do and more to make a point.
I was always amazed at his ability to pull me into his realm by beginning each day with a simple: "Welcome to Individual Differences day #___." The end of each
lecture was just as touching. He would wrap up with some grand finale, bring some life lesson in at the last minute and then send you out of the classroom and back into the world. Once, at the end of class, he had a student take his all powerful microphone and dismiss the class for the day. Another time he displayed his favorite childhood book, "Tootles the Train," and even once told us how all graduating students walking down the hill were bottles of Dr. Pepper to him. There was an imaginative story or an awe inspiring hopeful message from the start of class all the way to the end.
Snyder had said that this past semester was the hardest semester he had in all his years of teaching. If he had not said that, I don't think anyone would have ever known. I can only imagine how brilliant a teacher he was when he didn't have life's obstacles occupying his mind.
I wrote Snyder an e-mail last
semester wanting the privilege of meeting him outside of lecture in hopes of using him as a great resource for psychological knowledge and life in general. Rick responded that he was unable to meet with me at that time because of the worsening health conditions of his father and father-in-law.
To learn that Rick himself was recently diagnosed with cancer and lost the battle leaves me feeling quite lost, but at the same time, still in a mind-set of hopefulness. The primary area of his research was hope and he exemplified that better than anyone I had ever seen. He once demonstrated hope on "Good Morning America" for all television viewers to appreciate. Luckily though, I got to experience this hope firsthand right in the classroom and, as a result, feel forever sure that you can get there from here.

Marquee contest on tap
Here come the Sooners.
Here come the Sooners. For the first time this season, a game in Allen Fieldhouse will be the kind that students can brag to their friends back home about having the chance to go see.
I don't count the Kentucky game because of the timing. This is one that will happen during the heart of the semester. It's the kind of game that many players on this roster, consisting mainly of freshmen and sophomores, would say brought them to Kansas.
After four consecutive victories, three of which can be described as impressive, this young team feels the best it has all season, a feeling that parallels that of the fans. Camping began almost as soon as the final buzzer signaled the end of Monday's 86-52 rout of Texas Tech.
The only disappointing thing is, that from a national perspective, this potential battle for the Big 12 Championship will be played on the same day as the most important sporting event in the entire world. Therefore, assuming no player scores 81 points (or even if they do, they might have to also break the backboard and deliver a baby too), it will likely fly under the radar below the Super Bowl.
JIMMY CHAVEZ
jchavez@kansan.com
This will be the first real test for this new starting lineup of Julian Wright, Sasha Kaun, Mario Chalmers, Russell Robinson and Brandon Rush. It very well may be the lineup that takes this team into March.
Oklahoma will bring its physical Big Ten-like style into Lawrence, led by big men Taj Gray and Kevin Bookout, the latter of whom seems to have been there since the Kansas/Oklahoma National Championship in 1988.
Regardless, after this game,
neither team's fans should fly off
the handle, win or lose. This season's Kansas team's adaptation to big-time college basketball is progressing just nicely. But it's not just me. The players, who are beginning to mirror their coach in demeanor, would be the first to admit to not getting too high or too low. They know there is a long way to go and all signs point to them being ready when the spotlight shines.
Instead, fans should be excited and appreciate the caliber of game that they will be treated to on Sunday. It will a great litmus test to see how far the team has left to go. Play well before a presumably big audience, and perhaps they will finally crack that all-elusive Top 25. Perhaps Brandon Rush can make a run at another SportsCenter Top 10 on the same day as the Super Bowl. Perhaps the fans can turn Allen Fieldhouse back into the place that many teams feared visiting just a few years ago. Perhaps it will live up to its showdown status.
Here come the Sooners.

feet 11 inches, he was passed up by most schools. Mangino loved his talent and dismissed the notion that he wouldn't be able to throw the ball over linemen at the college level. Mangino went so far as to compare his skill set to that of former Jayhawk, Bill Whittemore. And if his numbers on the field weren't impressive enough, he had a 4.5 weighted grade point average in high school and Mangino said he was enrolled in the Honors Program at Kansas.
Now, this isn't basketball. These 21 recruits aren't going to make an immediate impact for the Jayhawks next year. It's reasonable to believe that next year, the Jayhawks won't match their seven-win campaign from this season.
With no set starting quarterback, a downgraded defense and an improved Big 12 North division, five or six victories could be considered a success.
But Mangino and his staff have made some great moves to ensure that Kansas won't have to endure many more rebuilding years.

The Jayhawks battled back again in the game's final minutes, cutting the lead to three with just 28 seconds remaining.
However, Kansas could not hold its own on the defensive end, and Colorado sealed the game by making all but one of its free throws down the stretch.
"We knew that we could play with them," Colorado guard Whit-
Colorado built its lead during a stretch where Kemp's shooting touch went cold; she went a rare 2-of-7 from the field to open the game.
nev Law said.
Kemp and the other seniors all chalked up the defensive woes to a lack of intensity on that end. Kemp acknowledged that the team has the goal of making the postseason, something they see slipping from their grasp.
Edited by Meghan Miller
Defense
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A
Escalera and senior Whitney Law, found open shots all night, especially in the first half. Escalera and Law lit up Kansas for 11 and 14 points, respectively, in the first 20 minutes.
Colorado's back court duo was able to get open shots off of miscommunication from Kansas defenders trying to get around Colorado screens. This enabled Colorado guards to slash through the lane or take open jump shots.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said the open shots in transition and the play of Colorado's Jackie McFarland in the paint were the key points in her team's defensive breakdown.
"Obviously to me, it looks like a lack of commitment and pride on that end of the floor," Hennickson said.
The Jayhawks had no answer for McFarland in the paint. She had 16 points, beating off a single defender deep in the pain on numerous occasions. Her presence forced Jayhawk defenders nearly under the basket, leading to easy layups.
Hallman said the Jayhawks knew the answer to getting back to their winning ways earlier in the season when the team started a school-best 12-0.
"We've got to find a way to get started back on the right way," Hallman said. "It's going to have to start defensively."

St. Louis Cardinals having legal troubles
NEW YORK — Greenwich Insurance Co. said Wednesday that SLC Holdings LLC and the Cardinals should not be reimbursed for cleanup costs where it built its new stadium.
Greenwich said the Cardinals claimed in its policy application that no prior environmental studies had been conducted, but the company said studies had been completed which disclosed the presence of environmental conditions relevant to the policy.

Ksiena Bulkina has a perfect 3-0 record, is ranked 14th in the central region and 79th nationally by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association and was the only Jayhawk to notch a victory against a ranked opponent last fail.
Freshman Ksenia Bukina battles a Drake University opponent on Jan. 28 in Topka. Bukina is ranked 14th in the central region,
The Obninsk, Russia, native has the tennis resume of a veteran — but she's only a freshman.
Bukina said the main reason she came to Kansas to play tennis was that her hometown friend of 10 years, sophomore Elizaveta Avdevea, played for Kansas as well.
Bukina's shy personality has not translated onto the tennis courts.
In her three victories this season, Bukina has lost only one set. Indiana's Sarah Batty, who is ranked 98th by the ITA, was the only opponent to knock off Bukina in a set.
Bukina achieved her ranking because of her performance last fall. She was 7-6 in singles matches. Bukina said she was excited when she first heard of the ranking.
Bukina said there were noticeable differences between playing tennis in the United States as opposed to Russia.
The new ITA ranking comes out on Feb.7.
"Here I can get an education and practice a lot, and in Russia, if you come to the university, you study — no sports," Bukina said. "It is difficult in Russia to do sports and education."
Kansas coach, Amy Hall-Holt said she wanted Bukina to move up even further in the ITA ranking.
"I am definitely very pleased and very happy for her, and we worked hard on getting her where she is," Hall-Holt said. "She has worked hard as well putting in the extra effort."
Kansas plays Utah on Feb. 4 in Salt Lake City. They will not play a match at home again until March 26 when they face Texas Tech.

Recruits give Mangino, fans reason to smile
Per the usual for any collegiate football coach, Mark Mangino was all smiles Wednesday as he talked about his 2006 recruiting class.
But this year, he has reason to be smiling.
In a year that will see Kansas lose its entire starting linebacking corps (Banks Floodman, Nick Reid, Kevin Kane), both starting quarterbacks who were worth a spit (Jason Swanson and Brian Luke) and half of the starting secondary (Theo Baines and Charles Gordon) to graduation and the NFL draft, anyone can see that the Jayhawks have a lot of holes to fill. Next year might be one of those dreaded "rebuilding" seasons.
But with this recruiting class, Mangino and his staff have brought in players who can plug those holes.
Granted, the evaluation of players in high school can only go so far in knowing how well they will play in the Big 12 Conference, and Mangino would admit that. But there's lot of room for optimism with this class, which ESPN.com ranked as No. 36 in the nation.
That ranking qualifies Kansas for the middle or the gridiron in terms of Big 12 recruitment rankings, but it does rank higher than quite a few notables: Louisville (41st), N.C. State (45th) and West Virginia (48th) are consistent mainstays of Top 25 polls during the season. Of course, the most delicious of the recruiting rankings for Kansas fans are Missouri (52nd) and Kansas State (60th).
Here's a quick glance at a few of standouts in Kansas' class:
Ian Wolfe. At 6 feet 6 inches, 270 pounds, the offensive tackle may need to put on a bit more weight, but he's a smart football player with great speed and agility. ESPN has him ranked No. 14 in the nation at his position. He chose the Jayhawks against Big 10 power Wisconsin.
Anthony Webb. As a 6-foot-1-inch safety, he's tall for his position. With a 4.5 in the 40-yard dash, Mangino raved about his quick feet and ability to change direction. That speed will be welcome in a depleted secondary, where Mangino said Webb would have the opportunity to compete for a starting job. Rivals.com gave him a four-star rating and ranked him No.23 in the nation at his position. His high school coach said his instinct and skills were "cat-like."
Todd Reesing. Already enrolled at Kansas for the spring semester, this quarterback may be the most intriguing prospect in the class. As a junior, he was the Associated Press Texas State 4A Offensive Player of the Year, beating out Matthew Stafford, whom Rivals.com ranked as the No. 1 quarterback in the nation. In his high school career, he passed for 6,500 yards and an insane 70 touchdowns with only 13 interceptions. But at 5

Speed bump
Buffs slow Jayhawks' road to tournament
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
mphillips@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A game that was supposed to snap Kansas out of a losing streak, instead turned into a 77-71 Colorado victory and left Kansas' three seniors looking for answers.

"This is our road to the NCAA tournament and we can't lose games like this," senior guard Kaylee Brown said.
After starting with a 13-0 record and a victory against nationally ranked Texas, Kansas has deflated, winning just one of its last seven games. The Jayhawks are now 13-6 and 2-6 in the Big 12 Conference.
Brown, senior guard Erica Hallman, as well as senior forward Crystal Kemp, played a full 40 minutes and finished in double-digit scoring. Brown led all scorers with a career-high 24 points. Afterward, she said the career high was no consolation for the loss.
The home loss damages Kansas' hopes of playing in the NCAA tournament. The team will now have to win twice on the road to finish with an 8-8 conference record, which was last year's standard for making the tournament.
"That is ultimately our goal," Hallman said. "We've got to get better if we even want to think of the NIT at this point."
On a night when Kansas' defense was suspect, the offense lacked the firepower to stay in a shootout with Colorado.
In the opening minutes, both teams scored at will putting up 16 points in the first four minutes.
During the first time-out, Colorado was able to tighten up defensively, but Kansas could not. The Buffaloes started pulling away.
The Buffaloes improved their record to 2-7 in Big 12 play. Both victories have come against Kansas.
"We knew we wanted to get it down to a decent deficit before halftime, but we couldn't do that," Kemp said of the 12-point Colorado lead.
Senior guard Kaylee Brown looks to pass inside against Colorado during Wednesday night's game in Allen Fieldhouse. Brown led the Jayhawks with 24 points and was 5-5 from the free-throw line. Colorado defeated the Jayhawks 77-71.
Kansas twice was able to chip away at that lead, first cutting it to four points at the start of the second half. Colorado answered with scoring inside from forward Jackie McFarland, who had 11 of her 16 points in the second half.

A frustrated Hallman said the problem was that Kansas started the game flat defensively, allowing 13 uncontested shots.
Colorado shot a scorching 61.9 percent from the field, the best percentage Kansas has given up this season. It's the third straight game opponents have shot better than 50 percent against the lavhawk defense.
"We've just got to get better defensively," senior guard Erica Hallman said. "We're getting killed."
Colorado sophomore guard Yari Escalera started the game with an open jump shot, one of many she would see on the night. The Buffaloes' guards,

Bunge excited about season
BY JONATHAN ANDERSON
janderson@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
When the Kansas softball team was picked to finish seventh in the Big 12 standings, coach Tracy Bunge knew the team had to improve.
"We are disappointed by our rankings." she said.
The team finished last season with a 31-24 record, including a 9-8 conference mark. Bunge said the team will rely on experience to improve its record.
"We have a lot of returning players on the infield," Bunge said. Eight letter winners from last season will return, seven of whom are starters. The perks of having a veteran roster would be knowing who was coming back and what identity the team would play with. Part of that identity will include a team that posted a school-record 973 fielding percentage last season.
Much of the leadership will be trusted in shortstop Destiny Frankenstein, infielder Jessica Moppin, outfielder Heather Stanley and pitcher Serena Settiemier, all of whom are seniors.
"Defense wins championships," Bunge said. "Defense should be a mainstay for this team. Between our defense and our pitching staff, we feel pretty good about what we are doing going into the season."
Bunge was optimistic both about the thunder that she thought would come from the bats of the lineup and about the team's ability to put the ball in play. That ability, paired with team experience, could allow the Jayhawks to reach their goal of playing near the top of the standings, she said.
"We want to go further than we did last year and compete in the top half of the Big 12," Bunge said. "We think we can make some noise and surprise some people."
KU will kick off the season Feb. 10 against Florida at the Wilson/DiMarini Tournament in Houston, Texas.

Rotation set for now
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
In the last four games, Kansas has twice scored in the 80s and twice in the 90s. The Jayhawks have been running more and creating more fast break opportunities against their opponents.
It is all finally coming together for the Jayhawks.
After scoring 65 points against Kansas State, the Jayhawks have stepped up on offense, scoring over 80 points in each of the last five games.
5
Kansas coach Bill Self said after Monday's game against Texas Tech that the team had been trying to play faster the whole season and that it was clicking now.
"This is how we have been trying to play for a while, as far as the pace is concerned." Self said. "Even on the road, we have had a lot more possessions and played faster."
One reason Kansas has been able to run more on opponents and get more fast breaks is because of the improved play of the big men.
Self has been able to settle in on a rotation and has started freshman forward Julian Wright and sophomore center Sasha Kaun together for the past three games. Against Texas Tech, Kaun had 10 points and seven rebounds.
Sophomore forward Darnell Jackson's play has also improved since conference play began. Jackson has scored in double figures the last four games.
"They are getting easy baskets," Self said. "The best way to get confidence is to get a layup, and then you think you're playing real well. These guys are playing to their strengths more now. They are getting out and running."
Self said the big men have been pivotal in Kansas scoring more points and getting more fast break opportunities.
Another reason Kansas has been able to put more points on the scoreboard is because of its improved shooting. The Jayhawks have shot 50 percent or better the past five games and in nine out of their last 11 games.
Freshman guard Mario Chalmers, who was named Big 12 Rookie of the Week on Monday, has averaged more than 14 points per game in
conference play. He has also helped Kansas run in the open floor. His 53 steals are already the fourth most by a KU freshman.
Poor shooting has been a big reason Kansas has faltered in losses this season. In its 61-49 loss to Arizona, Kansas shot just 33 percent. Against Kansas State, Kansas shot 32 percent.
"We're doing a good job of finding the open man, and we're hitting shots," sophomore guard Russell Robinson said. "We're sharing the ball more and not putting up bad shots."
Freshman guard Brandon Rush said it was more fun playing the style of basketball where Kansas got out and ran on other teams.
"It's fun out there right now," he said. "Everybody is crashing the boards, and that leads to quick baskets and fast breaks."
Kansas will get another opportunity to continue its hot shooting at noon on Sunday when it plays host to Oklahoma.

Boy, do I know the pain of dealing with acne. Marion Hixon understands my pain (and I'm sure some of you do too) and she is the first to tackle Joyplay's new department; Health. Look to this department to deliver the lowdown on all health/beauty-related issues that currently plague our fine campus.
On page 10, Kelsie Smith takes a look into another plague: the Adderal epidemic. She'll tell you why taking your, ahem, "unfocused" roommate's pills may not be a hot idea.
For an alternative pill fill, read about Malinda Osborne's experience with herbal supplements. She risked her health to bring us the details of the effects of herbs on her brain.
Melissa Byrd also took one for the team by forgoing her usual diet of pepperoni pizza and trying out the new food pyramid. If only I had self-control...
Screw it. It's the weekend.

An article in last week's *Jayplay* needs clarification. Comments about Jomana Qaddour's appearance and attire were portrayed incorrectly, and should not have appeared in the paper. It was not Qaddour's intent, nor that of Jayplay, to make it seem like Qaddour was putting herself on display. Jayplay regrets and apologizes for the fact that the article cast Qaddour in that light.

In a smackdown between MyPyramid and pepperoni pizza, who will win?
Two kinds of people exist in this world: those who eat to live and those who live to eat. If you're like me, chowing down for the sake of mere survival doesn't really cross your mind when devouring a pepperoni pizza with extra cheese. And you know what? Statistics show most Americans share my mindset about food and that we are paying for it with extra pounds and, ultimately, our health.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 65 percent of people over the age of 20 in this country are overweight. Thirty percent are obese. Peronipli pizza with extra cheese is waging its war on us, and winning most battles. But do we want it to lose?
Let's face it. Food is good. And so-called bad food is even better. But food is not the problem. We are. The words "too much of a good thing" don't register. In response to the
unbalanced American diet, the U.S. Department of Agriculture revamped its old Food Guide Pyramid in April 2005. The result was MyPyramid, our new and improved road map to healthy eating. MyPyramid boasts a more personalized and user-friendly approach to eating healthy and staying physically active.
But how easy is it, really, to follow MyPyramid guidelines? In a world where time is short, cooking takes too long and fast food is everywhere, planning healthy meals and making time for exercise can seem impossible. And, even if we do take time to eat what we should and exercise, will the time and effort be worth it? I heard from people who start to eat right, exercise and lose weight that they hardly miss their old, deviant ways; I decided to find out if it's true.
For three days, I followed MyPyramid guidelines for my age, sex and physical activity level. I decided
to eat out at least one meal a day, like most college students do, to deal with making wise choices while dining out.
To prepare for these uncharted waters I was wading in to, I visited the on-campus, registered dietician, Ann Chapman. Chapman provides nutritional counseling at the Wellness Center for $7 to $10 a session. She armed me with all the material I needed to transform my habits. She offered a list of health-friendly restaurants and best bets for what to choose while eating various types of cuisine.
Chapman entered my information into www.mypyramid.gov and out popped my personalized guidelines for healthy eating. As a 24-year-old female who exercises 30 minutes or less every day, I should eat no more than 2000 calories to maintain my current weight. Of those 2000 calories, I must consume six ounces
of grains, two-and-a-half cups of vegetables, two cups of fruits, three cups of milk and five-and-a-half ounces of meat and beans.
So how did I do? According to MyPyramid tracker, a handy online tool that allows you to record what you eat and then analyzes how closely you meet your recommended guidelines, I fell short on one to three food groups each day. Paranoia kept me from eating too much, but, really, I didn't end up eating enough. The beauty of MyPyramid is you can eat a lot; you just need to eat the right things.
Sure, following MyPyramid guidelines takes a little effort. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was the perfect diet. But after only three days, I did feel a little spring in my step and the world seemed a little brighter. Okay, not really — but I did have more energy than usual. I'm even sticking with my new diet. MyPyramid: 1, Pepperoni pizza:0.

DAY THREE
For breakfast, I went the yogurt-and-apple route once again. This time I added granola. Lunch was El Mezcal. Mexican food is tricky, so I ordered a bean burrito and chicken taco sans cheese and sour cream. For dinner, I grilled a chicken breast and matched it with broccoli, a whole-wheat roll and baked potato. For a snack, I noshed on an orange and some grapes.
In 2005, the U.S. Department of Agriculture created MyPyramid, a personalized approach to healthy eating and exercise habits.

⇒DAY ONE
FOOD DIARY
I woke up too late to make breakfast, so I grabbed a yogurt and apple on my way out the door. For lunch, I made a tuna salad sandwich with low-fat mayo on whole wheat bread and grouped it with tomato soup and grapes.Later, I had dinner at Free State with friends. I ordered the gumbo and a side salad. I felt healthier already.
DAY TWO
To make up for my small breakfast yesterday, I chose eggs, wheat toast, grapefruit and orange juice. Rather than eating lunch, I grazed all afternoon on hummus and pita bread, fruit and cheese. Dinner was at Panera Bread Co., one of Chapman's favorites for healthy eating, where I ordered the vegetable soup and the bistro steak salad.

FOOD TOO HOT TO EAT? BE PATIENT. PROPER ETIQUETTE DICTATES THAT YOU WAIT FOR FOOD TO COOL RATHER THAN BLOWING ON IT. IN THE CASE OF SOUP, BEGIN EATING FROM THE SIDE OF THE BOWL. THIS IS THE PORTION THAT WILL COOL FASTEST, SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO WAIT AS LONG.

DID YOU KNOW
According to a survey conducted last year by researchers from the University of South Florida, 74.7 percent of men shave the hair on their groin. Of the 118 college men surveyed, 26.7 percent said they used scissors to trim their tidbits. That may explain why the same percentage of men complained of cuts to their skin. Note to self: Using sharp metal objects in close proximity to balls may result in freakish cuts.

Coffee growers in Indonesia have invented a way to make coffee from animal feces. A small marsupial known as a paradoxurus, (common name: luwak), only eats the ripest of coffee cherries. During digestion, a luwak's stomach enzymes add a distinctive flavor to the beans that's maintained even after they leave the luwak's system. The enterprising coffee growers gather these passed beans to form the world's most expensive coffee - Kopi Luwak. As a college student, this coffee may be a little out of your price range at $300 per pound.

THE NEXT TIME YOU CRAWL OUT OF BED BLEARY-EYED AND STUMBLE INTO THE SHOWER. TURN THE WATER TEMPERATURE BELOW YOUR USUAL STEAM-BATH LEVEL.
In addition to jolting you out of your early-morning trance, cooler water will help maintain your skin.
"Use warm water instead of hot," says Sharon Caruthers, president of the Lawrence Beauty Academy. "Hot water opens your pores and strips the natural oils from your skin which leads to dryness.

SKIN MYTHS BUSTED!
A LOCK AT THE REALITY BEHIND SKIN CARE MYTHS.
**→ Myth:** Dabbing toothpaste on a zit will dry it out and clear up your skin overnight.
**True:** Toothpaste isn't necessarily healthy for the skin and will have no quicker effect than medications.
**Myth:** You should pop your pimple using your fingers or fingernails.
**Myth:** You should pop your pimple using your fingers or fingernails.
**Truth:** Oils and bacteria in your fingernails could cause further infection and increase the chance of scarring your skin. Only resort to popping a pimple if it has come to a head on your skin (and some never will). If you must pop, do it after a hot shower with tissue wrapped around your finger. Squeeze the blemish back and forth.
Solution: ice cubes will shrink pores.
Truth: The only way to do this is through purging the skin of all oils and toxins. Then following a proper skin care regimen.
→Myth: Ice cubes will shrink pores.
Truth: You shouldn't go to sleep without washing off makeup, but pores will remain open despite a layer of makeup on the skin.
➢ Myth: Makeup will clog your pores.
Sources: Lindsey Pollock and the office of Dr. Lee Bittenbender, M.D.
How to fight that hideous acne
Don't do it. Even if you have a date tomorrow, don't pop that fresh pimple you're sporting. Dr. Lee Bittenbender, of the Dermatology Center of Lawrence, discourages popping pimples no matter how great the temptation. He says a pimple can be treated in about three days.
But most students don't have three days to wait for their skin to clear up.
Take care of your skin before that pesky acne crops up. Here's your guide:
Proper skin care at home:
Lindsey Pollock, an esthetician (or skin care specialist) at Images Salon & Day Spa, says everyone needs to use a cleanser, toner and moisturizer every day. She says that if you are dealing with recurring acne, using a treatment gel will help. Products like Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Gel can be found at drugstores for $5 to $10. Be selective about what you choose to treat your skin with,

is available through www.proactiv.com. If over-the-counter treatments don't work, progress to a prescription medication or other procedures that will help alleviate acne. Both Bittenbender and Fried agree that prescribed topical solutions like Differin, Retin-A and Tazorac will help clear skin. Some dermatologists prescribe antibiotics, which get to the root of the problem by fighting bacteria.
Use face wash, toner and moisturizer.
Shower immediately after working out.
Pollock advises regular trips to a salon
because some stronger products can lead to inflamed skin.
Lower stress levels with time-management and rejuvenating activities like exercise and sufficient rest. Don't pick at your skin.
"People often over wash their skin using astringents, toners and other potentially harsh solutions that can lead to irritation and even worsening of acne," says Dr. Richard G. Fried, author of Healing Adult Acne: Your Guide to Clear Skin and Self-Confidence.
A Natural solution
Though it hasn't been proven, tea tree oil is rumored to help acne. The antibacterial oil originates from New South Wales, Australia, and can be found in soaps and deodorants. Bridget Trybom, a facialist at Lada Salon, says dabbing tea tree oil on a blemish can lessen redness and swelling and helps prevent scarring from acne. However, professionals still tend to disagree about the use of natural medicines. Tea tree oil products are available at The Body Shop for $5-$12.
Facials + Dermatologist:
Look for over-the-counter treatments that contain benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid or salicylic acid. Benzoyl peroxide is the main ingredient in Proactiv, the mail-order skin care regimen promoted by celebrities Jessica Simpson and Alicia Keys. Professionals such as Pollock, Fried and Bittenbender have all heard Proactiv has been successful for some patients.Proactiv
regular trips to a salon for properly-applied facials, a thorough home regimen and trips to the dermatologist to battle acne effectively.
Accutane
Bittenbender advises the use of Accutane to remedy serious acne that hasn't responded to other treatment. Accutane is a pill acne treatment that decreases the amount of oil produced by the skin. However, Accutane can result in birth defects so severe that, starting March 1, female patients
must take precautions. These precautions include multiple pregnancy tests before, during and after the treatment and a strong encouragement to use two forms of contraception. There also is an ongoing discussion in the scientific community that links Accutane to clinical depression. Patients can experience side effects like chapped lips, achy joints, elevated blood pressure and dry skin and eyes. Bittenbender says he recommends it more to men than women because of the risk of birth defects.
Birth control
It doesn't work for everyone, but hormone-based birth control can improve some women's skin. Fried says some birth control pills decrease levels of testosterone and, therefore, the hair follicles that cause acne are less active.
There are several causes of acne and according to Bittenbender and Pollock, the leading cause is genetics. While many think acne appears because of alcohol intake or a diet heavy in grease, Bittenbender disagrees. "There's no good evidence to support that diet plays a role," he says. "As far as I'm concerned you can eat what you want."
So go ahead and drink all night. Then eat a pizza. Just be sure to wash your face before you go to bed.

SAY WHAT?
Gettin' crazy on herbs (Supplements, that is)
by Malinda Osborne
Of all the universal desires out there, few are stronger than the urge to alter one's consciousness. Travel to any country and you are sure to find some locally-derived substance that whacks you out of your gourd. Inspired by this worldwide showing of hedonism, I decided to push past our trite alcohol and caffeine, not go so far as to fail a drug test, but try something new. The answer: herbal supplements. Former hippies love this stuff and we know they have a history with mind-altering substances. My mission was clear: I was going to trip on herbs.
In an attempt to make sure I wouldn't cause irreparable harm to my body during this admittedly half-baked endearah. I spoke with Dr.Farhang R.Khosh, a naturopathic doctor and founder of Natural Medical Care in Lawrence. His office eschews typical pharmaceutical finds in favor of botanical medicine and homeopathic remedies.
He said besides familiarizing yourself with the substance's intended effect and possible
side effects, the most important thing to look for when taking herbs is the main ingredient and how many milligrams are in each dosage. He said herbs are usually most effective when you take the least amount recommended on the bottle.
"Obviously herbs are not as potent as prescriptive medicines. Homeopathic medicines are sold as an extreme dilution of the original herb, "Khosh said."While it's very possible, it's also rare you can overdose on homeopathy, except I don't know why you would try to take more than the directions indicate."
Whatever.
First up was Bach "Rescue Remedy," a stress-relief serum that would work as a relaxant without hangover or embarrassing stories the day after. The product's Web site, www.bachcentre.com, says it is "beneficial for when you find yourself in traumatic situations, such as stress, emergencies, after getting bad news, before an exam or job Interview and all other kind of situations
where we suddenly lose balance mentally." It was interesting to note, however, that 27 percent of the remedy is brandy.
I took eight liquid drops under my tongue, double the recommended dosage, and was still acutely aware of impending responsibilities. I tried the serum on four separate occasions in a similar fashion and still — nothing. It turned out to be nothing more than a floral-flavored cocktail.
I then opted for a more well-known herb, St. John's wort. The flower is touted as a natural remedy for mild depression, anxiety and sleep disorders. No one understands exactly how it works or even if it does work, although studies have suggested the active ingredient, hypercin, works like conventional antidepressants that involve inhibition of serotonin and dopamine reuptake. The bottle said to take one to three capsules a day. I took six daily for a week. Khosh said it takes fourteen days to see maximum results. I disagree
After a few days I noticed that I was drinking and eating slightly less, which are favorite pastimes when I'm not feeling so hot. On day five, the wort really started to kick in when I was driving down Massachusetts Street. Suddenly I felt euphoric and found myself giggling for no reason. Everything seemed a lot clearer too, and I started listening intently to the song playing in my car. It was like a very brief mushroom trip, except without being able to feel colors. After that I would continue to have positive mood bursts, unfortunately not as intense, until I had to stop on the seventh day to make way for the other drugs.
Ah, sweet kava kava. I was the most excited about this because of the purported effects it has, which include mildly talkative and euphoric behavior, a sense of calm and well-being and relaxed muscles. It has long been used as a part of religious and everyday life in Polynesia and there is much evidence to support its effectiveness.
However, it has been linked to liver damage with excessive use over time. The recommended daily intake is no more than 250 mg, I opted to take 10 capsules, 750 mg, in the first sitting.
After fifteen minutes I started to feel more relaxed. Incidentally, I did this while watching the KU vs. Missouri game. When I would normally be pounding a) my sixth beer or b) my fists on the couch when Moody missed the free throws, instead, I was sitting there, kind of feeling a little numb. Then for a while I felt deliriously content before I became really tired. I found similar results when I tried it for a second time. Unfortunately, Khoshi said if you were to take kava kava regularly, you'd have to abstain from alcohol so as to keep the liver intact. I guess you can't have it both ways.
While I wouldn't recommend dismantling the beer pong table or putting the water bong away for good, I also wouldn't discount herbal supplements just yet.

Cramming students turn to study-inducing stimulants
by Kelsie Smith
Sarah's mouth was dry. She was constantly thirsty. The Concerta she took did its job. She finished her paper hours ago. Now, she just had to keep busy.
She cleaned her room and organized the books on her shelf by color and by size. She lay in bed writing letters she would never send to friends she hadn't talked to in years. She had a lot to say, but no one was awake to listen.
Things would be like this — methodical, obsessive — until the stimulant wore off.

Feelings suspicion and paranola

The thing is, Sarah doesn't have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. She's never had a prescription. But her freshman-year roommate did.
"I took it pretty much before every single test," the Leawood sophomore says. "Any time I needed to concentrate and get something done, I'm a really big procrastinator, so it was really easy when I took it because I could just knock something out in an hour."
Sarah's freshman-year habits are not uncommon. Today, college students across the country rely on stimulants like Concerta and
Ritalin without a prescription, a 2002 University of Wisconsin study said. In a 2004 study, the Partnership for a Drug-Free America found that one in 10 teenagers had taken stimulants (Ritalin and/or Adderall) without a prescription.
Sarah's use of Concerta has not resulted in any serious side effects, but, if
abused, prescription stimulants can cause hallucinations and psychotic behavior. And as students report increasingly lax ADHD testing standards, doctors like Stephen Hinshaw, chairman of the psychology department at the University of California-Berkeley, worry that this trend is getting out of hand.
Adderail, Concerta and Ritalin, oh my
Stimulant medications are most often prescribed to treat ADHD. Common ADHD medications include Adderall, Concerta, Ritalin,
Strattera and Dexedrine. Adderall, however, is the most commonly prescribed ADHD medication on the market. More than 40 million Adderall prescriptions have been written since 1996.
But as the popularity of stimulants rises on college campuses across the country, some psychologists such as Hinshaw, who specializes in childhood and adolescent ADHD, say the dangers increase as well.
"I think it's a huge issue," Hinshaw says. "At colleges where students know that [stimulants] can be performance enhancers and that there are brief assessments [to acquire a prescription], and many people with ADHD ... don't like to take the medication everyday, then there becomes a market for it."
Shire Pharmaceuticals, maker of Adderall, maintains that studies show the drug, which comes in two forms, Adderall and a time-released version called Adderall XR, is safe and does not have addictive capabilities. Adderall is thought to work by "restoring the balance of certain neurotransmitters, or chemicals in the brain that send messages between the nerve cells and affect how we function," says Shire Pharmaceutical's Adderall XR Web site, www.adderallXR.com.
The site goes on to say that scientists believe two of those neurotransmitters, dopamine and

norepinephrine, play an important role in focusing and paying attention to tasks, and that when those two transmitters are not balanced, ADHD symptoms result. Adderall XR, like other stimulant medications, is thought to restore that balance and promote more normal message transmission, thus increasing the ability to focus and pay attention.
Hinshaw says Adderall is safe when used properly and that anyone — ADHD affected or not will experience a performance boost when taking a stimulant. However, it is a Schedule 2 drug, which means it is approved for medical use but also has the highest potential for abuse.

or particularly if you take them in other forms, such as snorting or injecting, then they can become drugs of abuse."
Even when taken with a prescription, Adderall, like most stimulants, has side effects, like those Sarah experienced when she took Concerta. The most common side effects are dry mouth, difficulty falling asleep, stomachache, headache, loss of appetite and weight loss.
In February, Health Canada (Canada's FDA equivalent) banned the sale of Adderral XR after learning from Shire Pharmaceuticals that the medication had been linked to 20 deaths worldwide. In August, however, Canada put Adderral XR

effects. Stimulants will help anybody concentrate," Romerimeh says. "But if you get more than you need, you not only have problems with appetite and sleep, you can get depressed, irritable, manic and even psychotic."

clinician. But before meeting with a clinician, the patient must return a packet of information to CAPS that includes a self-report, a survey with someone who currently knows the person well and information about the patient's formative years provided by the parents. CAPS also requires elementary, middle and high school transcripts. The rest of the process includes a personality assessment test and clinical evaluations.
At Watkins Health Center students who want to get an old stimulant prescription renewed, or who bring in a diagnosis and want a new prescription entirely, must provide proof of a full evaluation, Dr. Myra Strother says.
"If I see a student who comes in with just a prescription from a family doctor, I will not give them medication." Strother says.
For those students looking for a study stimulant who don't want to go through the process of getting a prescription, there is always another way, as in Sarah's case. Her roommate, who was diagnosed with ADHD and had prescriptions for Ritalin and Adderall was generous with her medication and rarely took all of her prescribed amount (Which Hinshaw says is quite normal for ADHD patients).
Amber, Overland Park sophomore, took Adderall she got from friends occasionally her first semester at the University as well. But before the start of her second semester, she was tested for and diagnosed with ADHD. According to her prescription, Amber is supposed to take one 30-milligram pill every morning and one 20-milligram pill every afternoon. Because the severity of ADHD varies from person to person, each ADHD patient's prescription is different.
"She would give me handfuls," Sarah remembers.
Amber says she doesn't usually take her prescribed dosage and never uses her entire prescription in one month. She usually gives about 10 pills to friends every month, and sometimes sells them as well. Selling, though, is a rarity. Amber says $5 is the most she's ever made on one pill, and she's only made about $30 altogether since she started filling her prescription.
To Amber, giving away medication is simply a way of helping out her friends. To the federal government, however, it's a felony. Because Adderall is an amphetamine, it is in the same regulatory category as cocaine and selling it is a class B felony, the same as distributing methamphetamine.In April 2005,aUniversity of
HOW AMPHETAMINES WORK
When you are stressed or threatened, your body reacts with the "fight-or-flight" response physical changes that prime your body for an emergency situation. Amphetamines artificially produce the fight-or-flight response. Glands release adrenalin and other stress hormones into your bloodstream. Your heart rate and blood pressure increase. Blood flow is directed from your abdomen to your muscles.

A Prescription Drug World
Sarah's first experience with stimulants was in eighth grade, when a friend with ADHD who didn't like to take all her medication gave
Sarah Adderall to get rid of the extra pills in her bottle. After that, Sarah continued to take Adderall occasionally throughout high school. Once she got to the University and realized her roommate had excess Concerta, Sarah would occasionally ask for some pills. Throughout her first year at the University, Sarah would sometimes take Concerta as often as every other day, sometimes as infrequently as every other week.
Sarah's habits are part of a growing trend of prescription
growing trends of prescription drug abuse nationwide. In 2003, the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse reported that 15.1 million Americans abused prescription drugs, up from 7.8 million in 1992. The three-year study also found that from 1992 to 2003, prescription drug abuse grew two times faster than the rate of marijuana abuse, five times faster than cocaine abuse and 60 times faster than heroin abuse.
The Center also performed a search for Web sites where a person can buy prescription medication without actually having a prescription. In a one-week window the study found 495 sites advertising prescription drug sales. Only six percent of the sites required a prescription to purchase meication, meaning
anyone with a credit card and a mailing address has access to drugs like Adderall, Concerta, OxyContin and Xanax, among others.
"I've had people come and tell me that before they came to see me they got Ritalin online from Pakistan and Valium online from Mexico," Romereim says. "People don't even think it's dangerous. I think it's very foolish. I

think it is an ignorance issue."

But why go to all this trouble in the first place? Does it really improve your grades that much? Sarah says in certain subjects, such as math, stimulants made a difference. In others, she couldn't really tell. Out of 28 students surveyed informally in a math class, 13 said they have used a prescription stimulant without a prescription, 11 said they had not and five said they used it
with a prescription.
Of the 13 who had taken a stimulant without a prescription,eight said they thought it helped them get better grades and five said it didn't make a difference.
Amber says at least 30, maybe more, of her friends use Adderall.She agrees with Sarah that taking it with or without a prescription is only dangerous if you take too much. Amber says she once took 60-milligrams to study for a big test and the dosage caused her to throw up. She says she has seen the same effect in others who have taken too much.
Sarah says that when she took Concerta she often wouldn't sleep for 48 hours or eat for a day and a half. But Sarah says the negative side
The brain of a person diagnosed with ADD shows considerably more activity when Addorall is taken than when it is not. These images were taken while the person was doing an activity that required concentration.
effects were worth the hours of concentration one Concerta pill could provide.
Amber says stimulants definitely helped her — her GPA went from 2.38 her first semester before being diagnosed with ADHD to 2.88 after she began taking Adderall to help her focus.
For Amber, the use is clearly justified. But are those who don't really need stimulants, like Sarah, and take them just to get ahead cheating?
According to a nationwide survey of about 11,000 college students published in the January 2005 issue of the journal Addiction, colleges with higher admission standards have the highest rate of prescription drug abuse up to 25 percent.
"It's cheating in the same way that when I was in college, kids took speed, or it's like taking caffeine to stay alert," Romereim says. "It's illegal and dangerous, but it's not on the level of plagiarism.
Ultimately, students like Sarah will keep the stimulant trend alive. She doesn't have a problem taking them, and hasn't taken them this year simply because they aren't as readily available to her now. She doesn't think there is any real danger in using stimulants as a study aide, an opinion Romereim does not share.
"The goal for treating people with ADHD is not to make them superhuman, it's meant to make them normal," he says. "For people who don't have ADHD, (the drugs are) being used very improperly."

I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I'M THE NICEST GUY TO EVERY PERSON I MEET, BUT I'M STARTING TO BELIEVE THAT NICE GUYS REALLY DO FINISH LAST. DOES THE ASSHOLE ALWAYS HAVE TO GET THE GIRL? SHOULD I BE THE ASSHOLE AND FINISH STRONG. OR SHOULD I KEEP BEING THE NICE GUY AND FINISH WITH WHATEVER IS LAST? — ALAN, SOPHOMORE
Jessica: "I want a bad boy. You want a bad boy? I want a boy so bad he wears a mask! A villain!"
My favorite comedian, Dane Cook, talks about women loving bad boys. It's actually a load of crap. Women who want bad boys are really only wanting them for the image they portray: Rugged. Handsome.
Exciting. Rebellious. James Dean. In reality, women want to be treated well and most girls in relationships are with nice guys. You may only think they're assholes because the only time they talk about their boyfriend is when he's being an asshole. The truth is, most girls don't date assholes. They date nice guys, and nice guys can occasionally just act like assholes — just like all girls can act like bitches. If you think the problem is how nice you are, think again. Maybe they don't want to date you because your breath smells like tuna or they think you have ulcerative motives.
I recommend sticking to being the nice guy that you are and waiting for another nice girl with the same problem...Tuna breath
Brian: You and I have something in common, Alan:
we both get screwed over by women. All you ever hear about as a guy is how women want the nice guy (see above rant) and how they want him to do sweet things, etc. It's a load of crap. No matter what you do, women will always bitch about not getting enough. If you buy them flowers once a week, they want it twice. You go see a chick flick every few movies; they want it every time. You have sex with her once while you're dressed up as a clown; she wants Bozo every night. Basically, when you try to do something to set you apart from every other guy, it automatically becomes expected. So here's my real advice: Do the exact opposite of everything you ever thought you should do for a girl. Go on a date with her and forget your money, pick her up an hour late, call an ex in the middle of dinner, then at the end of the night, just assume you're going back to her place to get it on. If she doesn't like it, then you're in the same place as you were being a nice guy, if she likes it, you're golden. And don't forget to repeat my double-meaning motto all night: "Screw women!"
IF MY EX HOOKED ME
UP WITH BOTH OF
HER BEST FRIENDS,
DO YOU THINK I
SHOULD ASK HER
IF WE COULD HAVE
A THREESOME, OR
MAYBE EVEN A
FOURSOME? — MARC,
SOPHOMORE
Brian: The more the merrier! Why don't you start out with three, then add a new girl every week. Every once in a while bring in a guy to keep the girls satisfied. You could try to get into the Guinness Book of World Records. If that fails, you would surely live for all time in KU lore. Women will be all over you and guys will want to be you. You'll be like James Bond, only with fewer gadgets.
Jessica: For your sake, please don't listen to the slut above. Have some decency and treat your ex and her friends with respect. Yeah, they may love to make out with each other for money at parties, but the truth is, they want to be respected. Really. So don't ask for threeomes or foursomes... unless you've got a fat wad of cash, unlimited Jell-O shots and a video camera that won't make their asses look fat.

Like a maestro feverishly waving his baton to direct the music, Steve Keene orchestrates his own art with a quick paintbrush and gallons upon gallons of Utrecht house paint.
Keene, a 48-year-old painter from New York, is living in Lawrence as an artist-inresidence at the University, painting live Monday through Friday in the Kansas Union art gallery until February 14.
Images of the '70s rock band Blondie appear in thickly brush-stroked paintings in Keene's portfolio. Interwoven throughout his collection is album art he created for cult-favorite band Pavement, underlining a strong influence in Keene's work music. His vibrant, exuberant paintings, like music, travel to the farthest corners of the globe — from the Moore College of Art in Philadelphia to the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany.
While attending Yale University to study printmaking, Keene worked as a radio DJ
David Cateforis, professor
The day after Keene arrived in Kansas, he purchased 100 sheets of thin plywood, the equivalent of an 8-by-400-foot painting.
To make his art, Keene cuts the plywood to make smaller panels. He creates multiples of the same image, though each is unique because it is hand-painted. The panels combined create his envisioned large-scale piece.
Keene churns out 100 paintings a day and admits that the 8- to 10-hour workdays are stressful, but he doesn't worry if the product is bad or good. "It's like playing a game you can't redo. You just do another," Keene says.
of art history, says that Keene's involvement with rock music seems consistent with his effort to reach the masses. "Keene is playing partly to the insider's art-world elite. On the other hand, his art is very populist in orientation, so it's more like street art being made for the masses."
Though Keene doesn't have the rock star ego, he certainly lives the lifestyle, traveling around the world performing. And for Keene, the performance is as important to his art as the end product he creates. "It's as if I'm a musician performing for an audience. There's a craft in traveling around and adapting to different situations. You think about how you can animate different spaces," Keene says. "But I don't talk to people while I'm working, I'm polite, but it's like I'm working on stage playing an instrument. You don't talk to the audience while you're creating your art."
and met guitarist and singer Steven Malkmus of Pavement. Keene began collaborating with Kalmmus and other musicians, including Dave Matthews Band, painting album art, video and stage sets and posters.
In 1998, Andy Dierks, then a KU student but now KJHK general manager, attended a Pavement and Apples in Stereo show at Liberty Hall where he purchased his first work by Keene. Later, Dierks purchased three more paintings for $45 on Keene's Web site, www.stvekeeene.com, and was pleasantly surprised when nine paintings arrived at his doorstep instead. "I could even smell the fresh paint as soon as I opened the package," Dierks says. Four of these paintings are proudly displayed in Dierk's office where Megan Wesley, last year's Student Union Activities Cultural Arts Coordinator, initially noticed them and got the ball rolling to bring Keene to campus.
Even more remarkable than the scale and spontaneity of his art is the cost to purchase it. Keene is selling his original works for $5 per painting. Smaller pieces brought from his Brooklyn studio run even cheaper. 3 for $5. Keene said that because his art is so cheap, people think of them as informal trading cards. "You buy a few, and if you move, you may leave
them, take them with you, or give them to a friend. My art is dispersed to the world in many different ways,"Keene says.
Michelle Tran, current SUA Cultural Arts Coordinator and Derby junior, says, "Sometimes you go to a gallery to see a beautiful piece of artwork, but it's too expensive to purchase. With Keene, you can take a little bit of art home with you like a souvenir from a show."
SEE STEVE KEENE PAINT LIVE
Keene has created at least 175,000 paintings over the past 14 years. His philosophy echoes that magnitude of energy.
"How do you make big art in the world?" Keene asks. "You just stop don't."

CRITICISM: "People try to read too much into my art. Accept what it is - a different way to think. It's product-like. I make it like I was making hamburgers or worked in a bakery. It's done at that moment, fresh for your purchase."
iPODS: "I'm a big fan of radio. I'll get an iPod one day, but I'm leery of only listening to my own music choices. I like the spontaneity of radio."
TODAY'S MUSIC: "I know a lot of critics don't like them, but I really like the Darkness's new album. It's funny because it's its spoof of the era of music I used to be forced to listen to as a kid."

COCKTAIL OF THE WEEK
The martini first chilled the American scene in the late 1800s, according to Daniel R. White's book, The Martini. White theorizes that the cocktail was invented by a bartender named Martini at New York City's Delmonico Hotel. The martini, popularized by the fictional character James Bond, consists of two ounces of gin or vodka, a splash of dry vermouth and is typically garnished with an olive. Preferred serving is shaken, not stirred.

Mirror, Mirror
BOOK
Gregory Maguire, believe it or not, keeps putting out quality novels even after the success of Wicked. Maguire's style — I won't cheapen it by calling it a gimmick — is to twist fairy tales around. With Mirror, Mirror, the fairy tell in question is the story of Snow White.
Unlike the fictional Oz laid out in Wicked, Maguire chooses to use a real historical backdrop for this novel. The backdrop is the Tuscan countryside in early 16th century. Bianca, our Snow White, lives on the estate of her
widower father. One day, Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia (actual historical figures — Cesare is the basis for Machiavelli's *The Prince*) come calling. Cesare needs Bianca's father to go on a missionary expedition to find a religious relic, and Bianca is left in the care of Lucrezia. When Lucrezia learns of her brother's interest in Bianca she turns into the wicked stepmother.
Lucrezia hires a hunter to kill Bianca in the woods, but, in the usual fashion, her life is spared and she eventually encounters the dwarves of the fairy tale, who have a talent for creating mirrors. The fairy tale is then left to play out.
Religious metaphors play a strong part in this novel. The religious relic Bianca's father is sent after is an apple from the Biblical Tree of Knowledge, and, of course, the apple figures prominently in the original fairy tale. It also seems no accident that the historical context of the story is an Italy that is gripped on one end by the Catholic Church, and on the other by old world superstitions. Both sides, Maguire argues, deal with hypocrisy and corruption. Both

sides, for example, are leery of mirrors (another backthrow to the fairy tale). Savonarola, a monk who tossed mirrors in bonfires, saying they caused vanity, is often referenced in the novel. The novel also cheekily reminds us that Savonarola was executed as a heretic by the Church.
Maguire could have tossed any number of statements in this novel, all of which would have been worthless had the novel not been readable. The pace is quick, the characters, especially the estate's cook, likeable and the style fluid. The greater role of religion isn't understood completely until the novel is over; the reader isn't knocked upside the head with it. Maguire has produced another great novel.

The New World
The New World, written and directed by Terrence Malick, is a retelling of the story of Pacohontas. I'm not convinced the story needed to be retold.
Q'orianca Kilcher, as Pocahontas, plays her part with dignity and energy. You would think she'd been wearing animal skins her whole life. Her leading men do just fine, but they don't have much to do. John Smith (Colin Farrell) spends most of the movie looking either worshipful or anguished. Christian Bale, who plays playing the saintly John Rolfe, alternates between amused and concerned.
If you don't mind the flashy editing, the film is a pleasure to look at. Unfortunately, the pretty pictures eventually talk,

and the silences are broken by voice-over. In hushed narration, John Smith tells us of his consuming love for Pocahontas, his admiration for the Powhatan people and his dreams of shared wealth and shared work — a true commonwealth for all people. The effect is a bit subtler than if John Lennon's "Imagine" played over the scenes.
Both the new world and the old one are rich in detail. The contrast between the two is a better advertisement for the Powhatan way of life than any words Malick could have written. Compared to life in Pocahontas's village, $17^{\text{th}}$-century England seems over-crowded and absurdly complicated.

Roseanne Cash MUSIC Black Cadillac
In a fair world, pop music would be judged for mere sonic quality, or, you know, artistic merit, or something. But smart consumers know better. For a world of gossip magazines, internet news, and SNL screw-ups, anything can work within context. To see Britney Spears embrace her whoredom, finally, without that not-a-girl-not-necessarily-a-woman fluff, made the orgy that was In the Zone even greater than it was.
But cultural context doesn't always work to one's advantage. Case in point: Rosanne Cash's latest offering drops after the death of her parents: legends Johnny Cash, stepmother June Carter Cash, and her mother, Vivian Liberto.The album's foundation upon that death and grief is what makes it so expected, so consistent and, ultimately, so lackluster.
In the tradition of Cash offerings,
everything here is good. "Black
Cadillac" opens in a post-grunge
crunch of guitars and driving rhythm.
Mariachi horns reference "Ring of
Fire." Oceana-influenced "Like a Wave"
is pleasant and haunting. Ballads
"God is in the Roses" and "The World
Unseen" are delicate, pianodrive odes to grief, death, life, and hope.
ROSANNE CASH BLACK CADILLAC
N ever one for overt sentimentality,
Cash now straddles a thin line between originality and cliché. Her lyrics, at times arresting and touching,
can turn to the dull and maudlin.
With her grief still fresh, Cash has difficulty distancing herself
from the emotion of her father's death,
unable to sift through the mess of anger and abandonment to come up with something musically conclusive.
But that rawness occasionally gets harnessed. "Radio Operator" is a fine piece of furious country-rock. "House on the Lake" is spooky and poignant, and gorgeous "I Was Watching You,"
makes the album's greatest, simplest point of love: transcending-life. These songs are what the album could have been -- an otherwise solid and loving tribute.

MUSIC
WE ARE SCIENTISTS
WITH LOVE AND SQUALOR
Let's just get straight to the point. We Are Scientists is another band doing that same sloppy dancey rock'n roll stuff similar to Hot Hot Heat, Franz Ferdinand and The Killers. The same easy crowd pleasing stuff we've heard a million times.
The formula for this type of music is incredibly simple. Find a few guys take them to a thrift store to find retro dress shirts, teach the drummer to overplay and hit his cymbals really loud, tell the guitar player to play really fast high notes and encourage the band to never change dynamics. Works every time.
Through "With Love" and "Squalor," We Are Scientists write the same song over and over again. They employ dirty sounding guitars, dancey beats, and vocals that sound they were recorded in a cave. They also have fun writing such nonsense lyrics as "my body is your body, I won't tell anybody, if you want to use my body, go for it."
The one break from the tedition is "Textbook," a song where they actually slow down the tempo a bit and give it a different feel. It is one song of 12 that stood out.
So if you're fan of dancey rock'n roll, maybe this is the CD for you. But chances are you've heard this CD before, done by a different band.

Dead or Alive 4
GAME
Boobs. That's the first word that springs to mind when most people think of the Dead or Alive series. It's really too bad, considering the first three titles were actually decent fighting games, although overshadowed by the Tekken and Virtua Fighter series. Thankfully, with Dead or Alive 4, Team Ninja has finally released a game to compete with the big ones. No pun intended.
The story focuses on a small group of fighters led by the ninja Hayate and their mission to destroy the DOATEC organization. While the manual goes into quite a bit of detail regarding the back story, the actual game only incorporates it in a few pointless cut scenes during story mode. (Example: Two girls attempt to buy the same head of lettuce. Fight ensues). You will not be playing this one for the story.
As the first fighting game to hit the next generation consoles, Dead or Alive 4 looks awesome.The character models are incredibly detailed,the series' trademark multi-tiered levels look amazing and the action moves along at a crisp 60 frames per second without a hitch.
LOOKING FOR COMEDY IN THE MUSLIM WORLD
Also featured is a staggering amount of game modes. From the basic story and time attack modes to the more exciting
team battles and survivor modes, DOA4 has pretty much everything you could want in a fighting game. Even better is the game's online mode, which features a distinctive, yet underused, lobby system in which gamers can socialize while awaiting their turn to play.
If you're a fan of fighting games, you really should give Dead or Alive 4 a try. It's big, fun and well-rounded. Pun intended.
As for the fighting itself, a number of small but significant improvements have been made. One of the most obvious changes is the revised counter system, which now has a much smaller time frame, making for a challenging experience.
System; X-Box 360
This game is available for purchase at Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, Hastings, EBGames and other video game dealers. $59.99. It is available for rent at Blockbuster, Hastings, Dillons and other video game rental agencies.
MOVIE
★★★★
Andrew Campbell
"Why is there no Halloween in India?"
Because they took away the Gandhi."
Written and directed by comedian Albert Brooks, Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World mixes superb wit with jokes that make you cringe and want to slink out of your seat (see above.) But it's meant to be that way. And for the most part it works.
Brooks receives a proposition by the United States government to travel to Muslim areas of the world, find out exactly what makes them laugh and write a 500-page report based on his findings in an effort to better understand them. The prize? An elusive "Medal of Freedom."
Enthusiastic but skeptical about this unlikely proposition, Brooks lands in New Delhi, India, with two sidekicks hired by the State Department (John Carroll Lynch and Jon Tenney). After finding an Indian assistant named Maya (Sheetal Sheth), he hits the crowded streets to begin his venture. Realizing quickly that his method of random interviewing will never get him close to the lofty 500 pages, Brooks decides to put on a stand-up comedy show in the heart of New Delhi.
But the man moves on. After all, it's okay to bomb. It's not the end of the world," he later says.
The result isn't pretty. Even I felt pain for him. No one likes seeing someone fail so miserably on stage. Albert Brooks proves that he's just as good at making audiences want to hurt him as he is at making them laugh.
Or is it? His horrible show, an illegal crossing into Pakistan and lines like the above joke make Indian and Pakistani authorities extremely suspicious of the American "funny man." He's not funny enough to be a comedian. He talks about bombing. They decide he must have some ulterior
SINCE 1984
motive.
Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World doesn't produce as many laughs as you'd expect. There are some zesty one-liners, but Brooks isn't at his comedic best. But he's not supposed to be. Instead, his willingness to be self-deprecating should be admired.
Brooks learns his lesson that humor doesn't easily translate. Perhaps the world is too distrustful and unstable for it to believe that a dopey, American comic is just there to see what makes people laugh, and that the only "bombing" going on is his stand-up routine.

The worst day of my seventh-grade year was the one when a classmate decided to make a list of traits and have two popular boys fill out which girls in our class they thought represented the best and worst of them. The list contained everything important to image-conscious 12-year-olds: body, face, legs, smile, hair. A gangly, awkward, head-taller-than-all-the-boys me made the list in that last trait: I had the worst hair in the seventh grade. It was official.
We all have those vivid pretene moments that leave an indelible pain. I'll never forget looking at that piece of notebook paper, crumpled from being passed around all day, and feeling the heat of humiliation and self-consciousness burn up from my gut, redden my complexion (also deemed worst), sting my eyes and smolder to the tips of my frizzy, wiry, kinky, writted hair.
The worst thing about it was that it was true. My hair, by any standards
except Richard Simmons's, was horrible. It was a shoulder-length brown mess of frizz, a miserable creature that was starkly different from the straight, smooth, highlighted coils of the other seventh-grade girls.
I didn't know how to fix it. My mother, also a victim of Explosive Hair, had sorn hens years before. We had just two hair tools at our house. One was a bright yellow hair dryer that short-circuited after 10 minutes, dated circa late 1970s. The other was a one-inch-barrel curling iron missing a plastic piece. Using
To watch it dry was to watch an explosion in slow-motion: first, the outer strands would twist and stack on top of each other, and then the short hairs on top of my head would stick straight up. My hair would transform, layer by layer, from a slick, straight entity to a sprawling mass of fluff, sprinkled with strings that looked obscenely like pubes.
When I straightened my hair, it would wrap its tentacles around my neck.
SUSANNE LUCKNER
it guaranteed a burned thumb. My mom bought me hair products, but they never worked. She once got a $10 bottle the size of a hotel shampoo sample. Ten drops of the serum were to transform my hair into starched, ironed curtains that would sway when I walked (at least, that's what the magazine ad looked like). Half a bottle later, my hair was transformed into sticky fuzz.
The climax of infamy was one Saturday morning after a sleepover. I awoke to find a dead baby frog on my pillow. The girls all shrieked and called for a man to dispose of it. As the frog was carted away, my friend Casey noticed a long brown strand of hair between its toes. "Look!" she cried, pointing. "The little frog got caught in Natalie's hair! Natalie's hair killed it!"
Some nights, as I lay going to sleep, I'd feel it drying and start to cry as it got rougher. I'd grab a clump and pull it out, desperate. I wore it in a ponytail for three years straight.
For eighth grade graduation, I chopped it to chin-length, a decision I regretted for two years, during which my face looked fatter. My hair, with fewer inches to weight it down, swelled.
Over the years, though, I learned to deal with my hair. I employed the
greatest coping strategy: I made a joke out of it. My hair was my fame, my trademark, the butt of everyone's jokes. My best friends never passed up an opportunity to make fun of it:
Lyrically: "You know in that Dashboard song where he says 'your hair is everywhere?' Well, he's talking about you."
On brushing:"It sounds like when my grandpa used to brush the sheepdog's fur."
I'm now at peace with my hair. I'm proud of my wild curls. There are still days when I gaze at "normal" hair with envy — my roommate Amy has gorgeous, long, strong blonde locks that fall smoothly down her back — but, for the most part, I'm happy with what I've got. It was a long journey my hair and I took to accepting ourselves, but we made it with minimal damage. Except, of course, for the frog.
In college, I was set free from the shackles of hair trauma. That my hair was starkly different was no longer considered bad. My roommate tutored me in the ways of hair, explaining basics ("Yeah, it'll sizzle like that if you try to curl it wet") and sharing a battalion of products.
On the kid who just tripped:
"Aauguch! Natalie's hair got him!"
Eighth-grade graduation.
Five inches cut that morning resulted in as many added in volume.

KU programs promote culture, art on campus
BY DJUAN AWAY
dauwen@jensen.com
Students wanting to dabble in the fine arts need look no further than the University of Kansas. The Lied Center estimates that roughly 25 percent of the 40,000 visitors who passed through the doors of the Lied Center last year were KU students.
The Lied Center and the School of Fine Arts both desire to create an environment in which more students not only attend more events but learn to broaden their horizons, said Tim Van Leer, executive director of the Lied Center
"I think the student population is similar to the rest of the population. For some students, art is just not on their radar." Van Leer said.
The key to bringing in even more students is to present a wide array of events. Van Leer said. That is why members of the arts and entertainment community on campus are trying to devise ways to get more students in the door.Both the School of Fine Arts and the Lied Center are offering more contemporary and diverse productions and exhibits to students who love art.
The Lied Center this semester alone offers performances by the Soweto Gospel Choir; Turtle Island string
Steve Hedden, dean of the School of Fine Arts. said he thought students on campus believed the art world's level of awareness is not as current as other schools on campus. But that impression is incorrect.
quartet, musicals and a hip-hop and reggaeton concert.
"Taste changes over time. Songs in the top 40 10 years ago are completely different from what is in the top 10 right now." said Hedden. "A great deal of art in our school is quite contemporary; it's not just music from the 1700s. We can generate new work while still honoring our traditions."
The School of Fine Arts created a student advisory council to attract more students to campus performances. Hedden said one of the council's main platforms this year was to develop ideas of bringing the arts to where more students were located.
"Art is all but gone for some people in daily life; we are trying to bring back art to the daily-ness of life." Hedden said. Van Leer said: "I think its something that we must continue to work on, but not just with different and diverse events but we want to build a variety of workshops for artists and students outside of performance base."

"Muck Fizzzou," "Our Coach is PHAT," and "Win or Lose: We'll Still Booze" T-shirts can now be bought on Massachusetts Street.
Owner Larry Sinks decided to open his store, Joe-College. com, at 734 Massachusetts St., after receiving daily calls from students wanting to buy and sell them from his Web site of the same name.
The shop offers women's fitted shirts, hoodies, different colored T-shirts with "Kansas" on the chest, retro-type shirts and gear with the Joe-College. com logo. Most shirts average around $14.95, while the most expensive item is the hoodie, at $29.95.
"I think students will appreciate this store," said Kaity Fucinaro, employee and Omaha.
Neb, senior. "For example, a lot of students wanted the 'Why Play With Roy When We Can Play With Our Self' shirt, and now they can get it a lot easier."
Men's basketball coach Bill Self and football coach Mark Mangino aren't the only popular names on shirts. Max Falkenstien, KU radio broadcaster, has his own shirt too. It says, 'Thanks Max for the Memories' with a photo on the front, to commemorate his 60 years of broadcasting.
On Feb. 19 and Feb. 22,
Falkenstien will be in the shop
signing the shirts.
"It would be great to see everyone wearing that at the last home game." Sinks said.
Customers can also have shirts custom made for less than $25, or they can design a shirt for mass production and receive two for free.

Pills worry doctors,profit companies
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
fdavis@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Near the end of last May, Nicole wanted to cut 30 pounds from her 5-foot-9, 173-pound frame. Her lifestyle at that time was not suitable to losing the weight. Diet pills presented a reasonable alternative.
Nicole, who requested her last name not be used, said she worked out three to four times a week for the first month while taking a diet pill called Release. She soon stopped working out, yet continued taking the pill.
Nicole is part of a growing number of overweight Americans. This population is one drug companies are trying to market to with diet drugs, as well as trying to get the FDA to approve the drugs. But health experts say the drugs don't replace healthy eating and exercise, and could lead to abuse.
Her weight fluctuated up and down, but Nicole saw no real progress.
Pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline reports that Americans spend $23 billion dollars annually on diet pills. In fact, 65 percent of Americans
It's not hard to see why Glaxo is trying to get its prescription diet pill, Orlistat, approved by the Food and Drug Administration for over-the-counter use.
are overweight or obese, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
But the effectiveness of Orlistat, which blocks fat absorption, has been called into question.
If made public, it is estimated that Glaxo would make $1.5 billion in retail sales given the projected 5 million to 6 million people who would buy the drug at a price of $12 to $25.
"I wouldn't take it," said Dennis Grauer, professor in pharmacy practice and one-time Glaxo contractor. "If you look at pharmacy sales, it's a dead drug."
The potential for abuse of the drug, which is intended for those clinically diagnosed as obese, is a serious concern for opponents of Orlistat. Grauer said he didn't foresee a major potential for abuse because of one glaring side effect: loose stools.
Ann Chapman, clinical dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center, disagrees with that notion. Chapman said
that those with eating disorders would be most apt to abuse the drug, similar to bulimics who abuse laxatives.
Chapman said diet pills had no substance.
"I see them as a crutch, and I don't think they're a good idea," Chapman said.
While diet pills will continue to be used, Chapman has simple advice for those trying to lose weight: "Eat less, exercise more and follow the food pyramid."
Grauer said he saw a huge demand to take diet pills to fix a problem, but taking diet pills
alone was not beneficial.
"They're a tool that may help, but they need to be used with diet and exercise to sustain any weight loss," Grauer said.
Fed up with being jittery and seeing no progress, Nicole stopped taking the diet pills last November and started working out with a trainer. She also made changes to her diet. In the near three months since she made the change, Nicole said she had lost 12 pounds — without the help of diet pills — on the way to her goal of losing 30.

GET READY FOR THE BEAKEND

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
For cheap entertainment this weekend, look no further than campus, especially if you've got a competitive streak or you're a born performer. Student Union Activities has a full plate of events scheduled for Friday and Saturday.
Those with stars in their eyes have a few opportunities to display their talents — musical, comedic or otherwise — this weekend.
Auditions for Apollo Night, the annual SUA talent show, will be from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. today at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The actual talent show will take place Sat., Feb. 11, at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Both events are free.
Winners of the Apollo Night competition next weekend will receive prizes, including a grand prize of a $300 gift certificate. Performers at the main event are required to audition.
"It's just like on TV with the reality shows," said Susan Hoffman, assistant director of Union programs. "We want to see what talent you have before you get on stage."
More talent will be on display at 7 p.m. today at the Hawk's Nest in the Kansas Union when SUA puts on its monthly open mic competition for First Fridays. Hoffman said that the performers often varied from guitar players and vocalists to comedians.
If you're more athletic than artistic, consider entering the table tennis tournament Saturday afternoon at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. The top two finishers in the men's and women's brackets will receive a trip to the Regions Tournament at Kansas State University on Feb. 25, as well as a plaque. Sign-ups begin at 12:15 p.m. and will continue until 12:45 p.m. The competition begins at 1 p.m.
As always, there will be free Cosmic Bowling at the JayBowl from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. tonight and Saturday, but Hoffman said to be sure to come early as it tends to be crowded.
Prizes of up to $200 are available, but the winners are chosen by audience response, so performers are advised to bring some support. Milton's Coffee is providing free coffee, muffins and scones for the event.

SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The University of Kansas has a No.2 national ranking right now—and it doesn't belong to the basketball team. The prestige belongs to the School of Journalism.
The Hearst Journalism Awards Program announced this week that the school ranked second out of 101 schools in this year's competition.
The school is ranked after three of the six writing categories in the contest have been judged.
The ranking is because of strong places of three journalism students. Steve Vockrodt, a 2005 graduate, placed first in the in-depth reporting category, and Louis Mora, Merriam senior, placed ninth in the same category.
"The in-depth reporting category is probably the Holy Grail, or gold standard of the Hearst Awards," said Ann Brill, dean of the School of Journalism.
Marissa Stevenson, another 2005 graduate, placed 11 out of
111 in the profile category for the Hearst Awards in December. The Hearst Awards, commonly referred to as the college Pulitzers, are a major asset to the journalism school.
"They're very important because they do two things," said Rick Musser, professor in journalism. "They bring prestige to the school — there's no award more prestigious — and they bring money to the students and the school."
Vockrodt, who graduated last May, wrote his story, "The Searl List," about the sex offender registry list and its impact — from a sex offender's point-of-view.
"The biggest challenge was getting people to talk," Vockrodt said. "They've already been made outcasts in their community, so gaining their trust was very important."
The University Daily Kansan published the story in 2005.
Vockrodt, who began his search for sources by knocking on the doors of sex offenders in the Lawrence area, eventually decided to send letters to about 50 registered sex offenders in Lawrence. The letters contained a three-question
survey and asked that offenders who wished to give more information contact Vockrodt. He received eight letters, yet only three decided to participate in his story.
Mora said that finding and gathering historical information for his story was the most challenging, requiring countless hours spent at the Spencer Research Library.
Mora took home the ninth-place prize for his article, "The Greek Divide." The story pointed out the racial imbalance of the University's fraternities and sororities. Mora, who covered student housing and greek life for the Kansan, came up with the story idea after noticing an inordinate ratio of whites to blacks during greek recruitment. His story was published last semester.
Despite changes to fraternity and sorority polices 40 years ago that allowed black students to become greek members, whites still account for 99 percent of greek membership, Mora found.
Ted Frederickson, professor of journalism, who taught all three of the students who placed in the awards and helped them with their
stories, said he received substantial praise from the students for the help he provided.
Besides the latest Hearst Awards announcement, Stevenson placed 11 out of 111 in the profile category for the Hearst Awards in December. Stevenson profiled Andy Marso, a 2004 graduate and Kansean reporter, who was stricken with meningitis before his graduation.
In addition to the honor that comes with winning a Hearst Award, there is the financial perk. Vockrodt, who will receive $2,000 for claiming first place, is considering purchasing a road bike and investing the rest. As for Mora, he's unsure of what he'll do with his $500 prize, although he said he might use the money for bills or use the money for spring break.
"I didn't really edit their stories, I coached them," Frederickson said. "Coach Self can coach a kid up and tell him what to do, but it's up to the player to execute it on the court; same thing with the stories."

Bush asks for increased budget
BY ANDREW TAYLOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration said Thursday it would ask Congress for $120 billion more for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and $18 billion more for hurricane relief this year.
The White House acknowledges the upcoming requests would cause total spending on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan since Sept. 11, 2001, to soar well past the $400 billion mark, while spending for hurricane relief would top $100 billion.

Details of the requests are not final, but the 2007 budget proposal that President Bush is to submit next week will reflect the totals for planning purposes. The president also will ask Congress to devote another $2.3 billion to prepare for a bird flu epidemic, congressional aides said.
About $70 billion of the new war money will be requested for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan this year, bringing total spending on the two campaigns to $120 billion for the current budget year. The other $50 billion in new war money will be set aside in the 2007 budget for the first few months of the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1. More money will likely be needed in 2007.
The bulk of the funding will go toward military operations, officials said, but the money will also replace damaged, destroyed or worn out equipment. Another
part of the request would provide aid to train Iraqi security forces and otherwise combat the insurgency in Iraq.
The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that $320 billion has been spent on Iraq and Afghanistan since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, including $50 billion that Congress sent Bush in December.
Administration officials said the new figures were estimates and the totals could change
slightly before they are officially presented to Congress.
Bryan Whitman, a Pentagon spokesman, said the requests reflect the president's desire to "commit the resources that are necessary to fight and win the war on terrorism."
The requested money would cover troop salaries and benefits, repairing and replacing equipment, supporting U.S. embassies in the two countries and taking on the insurgency. It would cover the costs of continuing to train Iraqi and Afghan security forces and to protect U.S. troops.
Joel Kaplan, deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, said the $50 billion request for Iraq and Afghanistan for 2007 is a placeholder. He suggested the combined costs of the two campaigns could be different.
"We're still in the process of working out the details," Kaplan said.

PROVOST SEARCH
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
3A
Candidate visits campus
BY MELINDA RICKETTS
mrickets@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Jack Burns, the second candidate for KU provost, spoke about the opportunities and challenges the University of Kansas faces in a "flat world" during a public address Thursday at the Dole Institute of Politics.
CAMPUS
KU has been interviewing candidates to replace Provost David Shulenburger, who is stepping down this summer. He will assume a leadership position in the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges in Washington, D.C.
The provost search committee announced Burns, 53, as the second candidate on Monday. He is the vice president for academic affairs and research for the three University of Colorado campuses.
Burns borrowed the term "flat world" from Thomas Friedman's recent book, "The World is Flat," in which Friedman used it to mean a world where countries face a relatively level economic and political playing field.
During his speech. Burns emphasized the need to maintain competitiveness and convey an understanding of the University's role to the public.
He said that the role of the humanities and social sciences was more crucial than it has
ever been because students needed that background to work effectively in the global environment created by the flat world.
He also talked about the imperative role of diversity at a university. He said that because other countries had improved the quality of their educational programs, the University needed to continue to focus on drawing international students to the University. He later mentioned that the University, although sending high numbers of students abroad each year, needed to start sending business and engineering students to China and India, especially because American companies have been outsourcing to those countries.
During the question-and-answer session that followed the speech, Burns addressed several hot-button issues including an incident at Colorado in the spring of last year.
His final point was the importance of multidisciplinary work at a university. He said that the University has a strong "culture of collaboration" brought about by strong collegiality among the faculty.
"That collegiality goes a long way in faculty teaming up and working together in new and interesting ways," Burns said.
"Our ability, each and every one of us, to introduce controversial ideas into the classroom, is how we get students to learn."
Ward Churchill, the chair of the ethnic studies department and a tenured professor, made some controversial statements regarding the World Trade Center attacks. He ultimately stepped down as department head but kept his position on the faculty. Burns said the episode demonstrated the value of tenure, academic freedom and the First Amendment.
"Our

"Our ability, each and every one of us, to introduce controversial ideas into the classroom, is how we get students to learn," Burns said.
He qualified that by saying that faculty must to be careful not to cross the line between teaching and preaching.
William Scott, professor or English, said Burns' speech was "very smooth, very polished."
"He had a lot of nice things to say about KU," Scott said. "I still want to know more about his engagement with faculty and students and others."

"We had someone come in with a good design for a shirt. It said, 'I like-a Micah.' Obviously that didn't work out," Sinks said, referring to recently departed men's basketball player Micah Downs.
Whitney Jones, Omaha.
Neb., freshman, stepped into Joe-College.com Wednesday night for the first time.
"I saw the KU shirts and decided I should check them out," she said. "I already have the 'Muck Fizzzou' shirt, so I'm happy this shop is here now."
Edited by Jodi Ann Holopirek
Larry Sinks, owner of Joe-College.com, said the dash between 'Joe' and 'College' in his store's name is important.
Dash in shop name denotes close friend
When his friend, journalist Dick Schaap, died four years ago, Jerry Kramer, former Green Bay Packers right guard, stood up at the funeral to say a few words about Schaap. Kramer said, "He lived his dash." This meant he lived his life to the fullest from the day it began to the day it ended.
Sinks became friends with Schaap in 1988 when
Schaap interviewed him for "NBC Nightly News" about the shirts he was making for the Final Four that year. The two had stayed in touch ever since
"I thought I would commemorate him with the dash in the shop name," Sinks said.
Schaap was the senior editor of Newsweek, sports editor for Parade magazine, he collaborated with former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana to write Montana's autobiography, and he hosted ESPN's Sports Reporters.

Teen commits gay hate crime
NATION
BY RAY HENRY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. — A young man dressed all in black went on a rampage at a gay bar with a hatchet and a gun Thursday, wounding three patrons in what police said appeared to be a hate crime. One victim was in critical condition.
Police searched for 18-year-old Jacob D. Robida, who was wanted on charges of attempted murder, assault and civil-rights violations.
According to court papers, Robida's mother told police that he briefly stopped by the house less than an hour after the brawl and was bleeding from the head. In Robida's bedroom, officers found Nazi regalia and anti-Semitic writings on the wall.
NEW BEDFORD
CITY OF NEW BEDFORD COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS
A bartender said it was about midnight when a teen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black pants walked into Puzzles Lounge, a gay nightspot in this historic seaport city of 94,000 people, about 50 miles from Boston.
"Obviously we have a man who's dangerous, who's not rational, and he has weapons," said prosecutor Paul Walsh Jr.
Stew Milne/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
He flashed an apparently fake ID and ordered a drink, then asked if the place was a gay bar and was told it was, said the bartender, who asked to be identified only by his first name, Phillip, because of fear for his safety.
New Bedford District Attorney Paul Walsh Jr., left, and Capt. Richard Spirlet, center, with the New Bedford Police Department, listen to New Bedford Major Scott Lang answer questions during a news conference regarding a shooting and stabbing at a gay bar by a teenager armed with a hatchet and handgun on Thursday.
The bartender said the teen finished his drink and walked back to where two men were playing pool. He shoved one of them to the ground, then pulled a hatchet from his sweatshirt and began swinging at the man's head, cutting him. Phillip said.
Police recovered the hatchet and found a knife outside. The knife was not apparently used in the attack.
gun, shot a man, and then fired another bullet into the chest of a patron who was leaving the bathroom, the bartender said.

Does a new name mean new ideas?
Students now have a new name to remember in politics at the University of Kansas. Last week two former members of KUnited announced the forming of a new coalition — Ignite.
If you're a new student, you might not know the University has had several coalitions come and go in the past five years besides KUnited and Delta Force. The names pop up all over the pages of old University Daily Kansans: Student Voice, SMILE, Lord Wads and VISION.
Now, add Ignite to the list.
Now, add religion to the list.
The coalition claims two goals: get more students and groups involved in student government and tackle tough issues that concern students. Both are noble goals, but they're also tough to do.
Ignite's two candidates say that previous coalitions haven't focused on finding out what students want. Maybe they haven't, but they, too, said they would try.
The first ever KUnited president, Jonathan Ng, said after being elected in 2002, that his goal was to encourage more interaction between students and Senate and make Senate more visible to students.
Sounds familiar.
Jason Boots, who is running for president with Ignite, said 60 students attended the kickoff for the new coalition, including people from Delta Force and KUnited and those with no party affiliation. That's certainly a good start to get new people involved but it's just a start.
Student government often works painfully slow, and keeping members, let alone students, motivated can be tough over time.
The new Multicultural Resource Center, for which construction hasn't even begun, was the original 2002 KUlited ticket
Ignite also wants to tackle tougher issues. Boots said the coalitions wouldn't shoot down issues they didn't think they could get passed. Again, a noble goal, but as of yet we haven't heard what issues. Both Ignite and Delta Force said platforms would be announced in March.
The jury's still out on this goal.
We're not saying Ignite doesn't have gallant ideas. But this isn't anything new for University politics. And until we have elections, you can assume it's the same old talk.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Politics remain split
In Ryan Scarrow's recent column in The University Daily Kansan, he explained his belief that the overturning of Roe v. Wade should be a welcome occurrence for Democrats because it "may well bring about the destruction of the Republican Party."
Though I agree that Roe needs to be overturned because it keeps such a contentious issue out of the hands of voters and the democratic branches of government, I strongly disagree that such an occurrence would be any worse for Republicans than for Democrats.
Scarrow explains that "a clear majority of Americans are pro-choice." The problem with this is that the labels "pro-choice" and "pro-life" suggest that most people are at one of the poles on the abortion debate, when in fact, most people fall somewhere in between.
According to a Gallup poll from November, 56 percent of people think that abortion should be "sometimes legal," while only 26 percent think abortion should be "always legal" and only 16 percent think it should be "always illegal." In another poll by Pew Research Center, 50 percent wanted abortion to be generally available, 19 percent wanted stricter limits, 31 percent wanted abortion to be available only in cases of rape, incest or danger to the mother's life and 16 percent wanted abortion to be illegal.
Given such a range of positions, it is more likely that the Democratic ruling on abortion would be one that it is legal in some cases and illegal in others, rather than a clear pro-life or pro-choice victory.
Scarrow also assumes that the abortion debate would split the Republican Party between moderates and extremists. "Moderates" apparently infers a group that supports abortion rights, while "extremists" is the group that opposes abortion. But, from the polls above, we can see that "moderates" probably have a position on
abortion that is actually moderate.
If so, then the Democratic Party also has a moderate and extremist wing. There are even pro-life Democrats. CNN exit polls from 2004 show that 22 percent of Kerry supporters thought abortion should always be illegal, and another 26 percent thought that abortion should be mostly illegal. So if abortion divided the Republican Party, it would be just as likely to divide the Democratic Party.
However, I question whether overturning Roe v. Wade would split, or even significantly affect, either of the political parties. Scarow assumes that people currently don't vote on abortion but that they would if Roe v. Wade were overturned. With nearly a quarter of Americans voting based on "moral values," and with so many political organizations (National Right to Life, NARAL Pro-Choice America, etc.) being devoted to the issue, I think it's safe to say that abortion is already a voting issue.
If Roe were overturned, it's possible that a few more Democrats would come to the polls, but it's just as possible that more Republicans would go to the polls as well. And even if both were to happen, I doubt that party alignment or proportional party turnout would change in any significant way.
Scarrow states that only Republicans are split on abortion and that only Democrats can mobilize the base if Roe is overturned and abortion is decided by the voters. Unfortunately for the Democrats, this just isn't true. Both parties are split, both bases will mobilize, and the political makeup of the country will be largely unchanged.
In fact, the only real change that overturning Roe will bring is the democratization of a contentious issue so that the people, not the courts, can decide whether abortion should be legal.

As the coordinators of the KU Ambassador program, we are appalled by the gross exaggerations and completely fabricated information in Owen Morris' Jan. 27 column. The biased portrayal of the program has done a great disservice to the many dedicated students who volunteer their time and energy every week to representing the University.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Portrayal misrepresents KU ambassadors
Had Morris been as concerned with checking his facts as he was with slandering our organization, his editorial would have been much shorter. Granted, he manufactured an entertaining story, but for posterity's sake let's clear up a few of his inaccuracies. First, Morris claims that he had to create a distraction or lie when parents raised questions concerning alcohol and other "typical college life" subjects. On the contrary, we teach ambassadors how to handle tough questions and tell them to NEVER lie to visitors. However, there's a big difference between acknowledging that students drink in college and bringing up your wild weekend at the bars.
He also states that "all it takes is one bad apple" to poison a visitor's impression of the University. As sad as this is, it's true, and we are well aware of this. Once they are accepted, "newbies" must complete more than 10 hours of training, during which they learn KU facts and how to react in different situations. We do everything in our power to ensure visitors leave with a positive impression of the University.
Want to know what DOES give visitors a bad impression about our University? Students
heckling tour guides, as was the case the day Morris' column was published. This rarely happens. Most ambassadors are dedicated to the program because they love the University, and they show up each week whether it's raining, snowing or 110 degrees. It is inexcusable for other students to degrade what they do, or for Morris to suggest that just because he was lazy and apathetic that all ambassadors are.
Not many people have the kind of dedication it takes to be an ambassador, and those who don't quickly lose interest and drop out of the program. The KU Ambassador program is an elite group of committed, enthusiastic students who love the University, and show this by giving their time and energy each week to recruit future Jayhawks. To belittle the efforts of these stellar students is not only petty, but detrimental to the recruiting efforts of the University.
♦ Jessica Feren, Amy Bainum,
and Charley Forsyth are KU

Just so we don't dwell completely on Morris' factual missteps, let's look at what he got right. First, he admits that he was a poor tour guide and should never have been an ambassador. This is true.

Second, Morris claims that he was asked during his interview whether he could walk backwards and whether he owned walking shoes. This is ludicrous. The semester we interviewed Morris, questions included his least favorite thing about the University, what there is to do on the weekends and what the big lecture classes are like. Our goal during interviews is to gauge a person's communication skills, not see if they can walk backwards.
We do strive to accept a wide, representative demographic of
Third, the ambassador program does not take "just about anybody," as Morris claims. Every semester we turn away applicants who we think are not qualified. However, the number of campus visitors has doubled since 2000. This means we have had to accept more ambassadors, growing from 50 members to approximately 80 since the spring of 2002. There is no secret question we could have put in the application or interview to determine that Morris was joining the program out of spite.

Hooters opens Las Vegas casino
BY RYAN NAKASHIMA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Hooters, the tongue-in-cheek eater that parlayed spicy chicken wings and busy waitresses in skimpy outfits into an international restaurant chain, is opening its first ever casino and hotel a stone's throw from the Las Vegas Strip.
The grand opening Thursday marks the latest foray for the "delightfully tacky, yet unrefined" restaurant that began in 1983 in Clearwater, Fla., and later branched into calendars, merchandise and even an airline.
"The Hooters customer is already a Vegas kind of customer. They're a little punky, they're a little high energy, they're looking for a getaway — and all of those things just match up." said Ed Droste, one of the six men
who founded Hooters. Four of those original partners together own a third of the renovated hotel-casino.
The 696-room property with nine restaurant/bars is a revamp of the Hotel San Remo and, despite its makeover, remains a midget compared with the 5,035-room MGM Grand across the street on a corner of the Strip that offers 14,000 hotel rooms.
The Hotel San Remo, first built in 1973, has been run for the past 17 years by the Izumi family of Japan who maintained a one-third stake in the rebranded business.
The San Remo's revenues and profits stagnated for at least the past five years, dwarfed in the shadow of the MGM Grand New York-New York, Excalibur and Tropicana hotels on the nearest corner.
"San Remo was a nice little business," said Richard Langlois, senior vice president of marketing for Hootiers Casino Hotel. "But the property can be better utilized with a brand like Hooters."
Hooters' operators hope to draw from a customer base of about 61 million annual visitors at its some 400 restaurants in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, Asia and the Caribbean.
Information and reservation hot lines have been set up at 80 restaurants in the Southwest, and staff will be rewarded with discounts and free rooms for promoting bookings, executives said.
Talks are ongoing with Hooters of America Inc. to fly customers to Las Vegas on Hooters Air, they said. The Atlanta-based company bought the franchise
and licensing rights from the founders and launched the airline in 2003.
Hooters casino operators have rebranded almost every inch of the hotel, including using subtly placed borderline gags about the female form to appeal to a core audience of mostly married men aged 25 to 54.
Observers said the company might carve out a niche with a down-market offering in an area of the Strip that has become more expensive.
"You know their market. It's relatively blue collar and young," said University of Nevada, Las Vegas history professor Hal Rothman, who wrote "Neon Metropolis: How Las Vegas Started the 21st Century."
"There's really nothing else on the Strip that caters to that market," he said.
MUSIC INDUSTRY
BY DAVID BAUDER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fans: CDs overpriced
NEW YORK — While one-quarter of the nation's music fans say they've downloaded songs onto their computers — legally or otherwise — a new nationwide poll suggests music executives should look elsewhere to explain their business woes.
Three in every four fans complain that CDs are too expensive, and 58 percent complain that music in general is getting worse, according to the poll conducted for The Associated Press and Rolling Stone magazine.
"Less talented people are able to get a song out there and make a quick million and you never hear from them again," said Kate Simkins, 30, of Cape Cod, Mass.
Ipsos' telephone poll of 1,000 adults, including 963
music listeners, from all states except Alaska and Hawaii was conducted Jan. 23-25 and has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
It's been a bad few years for the music industry, knocked on its heels by the popularity of downloading and iPods.
A total of 618.9 million CD albums were sold during 2005, sharply down from the 762.8 million sold in 2001, according to Nielsen Soundscan.
At the same time, 352.7 million tracks were sold digitally in 2005, a category that wasn't even measured five years ago.
After years where fans had to buy $20 CDs because they liked one or two songs, now they can download the songs for 99 cents a pop, or free if they can burn a copy from a friend.
GROUNDHOG DAY
Punxie Phil sees his shadow
BY DAN NEPHIN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. — Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, but it was hard to find a complainer in the crowd on Gobbler's Knob, where the morning temperature was well above freezing and Thursday's high was expected to hit 48 degrees.
There were a few boos at the groundhog's prediction of six more weeks of winter, but most of the hundreds of revelers instead turned the event into an impromptu Pittsburgh Steelers rally.
Fans in football jerseys sang "Here we go Steelers," and
members of the Punxsutawney groundhog Club's Inner Circle threw black and gold Steelers "Terrible Towels" as they waited to rouse Phelin from his burrow.
She had been outside awaiting Phil's arrival since about 2:15 a.m., a rub-on Punxsutaw

Others latched on to the Phil frenzy for a publicity boost.
The National Environmental Trust said it's groundhog-suit-wearing human "will ignore his shadow and will instead rely on global warming evidence to forecast an early spring."
The American Physiological Society was offering experts to discuss "What Punxsutawney Phil can teach us about surviving massive blood loss, preventing muscle atrophy, and more."
The Pennsylvania Lottery even has Gus, "the second most famous groundhog in Pennsylvania," who implores lottery players to "keep on scratchin'."

♦ Facts: His high school coach called Rush "more athletic than Tracy McGrady."
♦ Rush posted career highs of 45 points, 23 rebounds, 13 assists, 17 blocked shots, and nine steals in high school.

As the lights keep getting brighter, Kansas freshman Brandon Rush keeps getting better
This Sunday when Kansas plays host to Oklahoma, the lights will be as bright as they have been all season. The game will be televised on CBS on a day when college basketball action will be light. Rush will have an opportunity to show the country just how good he is and how good he can be.
And make no mistake about it: Rush will show the country how good he is and how good his team is.
The guard has seen big games this season as an opportunity to step up and carry the team on his back. Against Kentucky, with Dick Vitale announcing the game and Ashley Judd in the arena, Rush registered his first double-double of the season scoring a career high 24 points and grabbing 12 boards.
Against Iowa State, Rush again had a double-double on national television. Then on Monday night, again with the whole country watching, Rush put fear into the rest of the conference. The Texas Tech game made it clear that he was still getting better every game and so is the entire team.
It doesn't matter how bright the lights are for Rush, he always seems to have his confident smile going before and after the game. But during the game is when his smile is the most fun to watch.
Every time he gets the ball, Rush is capable of doing something productive. Whether it's stopping and shooting from the three-point line, where he has hit more than 50 percent of his shots, or driving to the basket and making an acrobatic layup or dunk, Rush never seems fazed.
Unfortunately, now that Kansas fans are seeing just how good this kid is, and the whole country is starting to get a glimpse of Rush, his KU career might be over before it's fully enjoyed.
Every time Rush's name is brought up
Even in the rowdiest of arenas, like Mizzo Arena, Rush performs.
in conversation, the question is invariably asked: How long do you think he will stay at Kansas?
The answer is anything but simple.
These days, NBA teams draft more on a player's potential than how he is playing right now.
Rush seems to combine the two categories. The upside on Rush is amazing. He is truly improving every game: Each game, he does something he didn't do in the previous game. His potential is scary.
This is the first time when all the focus has been just on Rush and not on his brothers or his eligibility.
It will be interesting to see how Rush continues to handle the bright lights. So far, he has yet to disappoint. No other freshman in recent history has had this big of an impact on Kansas basketball.
Think for a moment about how big of a statement that is.
Not Kirk Himrich, Nick Collison, Wayne Simien or even Paul Pierce had this big of an impact his freshman season.
Rush's 14. 6 points per game is tied with Danny Manning for the most ever by a freshman. That's pretty good company.
All indications are that Rush's 14.6 points a game will continue to rise. He will continue to get better, and when the season's over, Rush will have an extremely tough decision to make.
Does he come back to Kansas and continue to get better under Kansas coach Bill Self and learn more about the game, all the while building a championship-caliber team with other freshmen Mario Chalmers and Julian Wright? Or, does he take the cash and start playing for a living?
It's a simple question with a complicated answer. But, one thing is for sure—no matter how bright the lights, Rush will continue to perform.

Home runs, excellent pitching lead to first victory of 2006 season
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Starting off the first game of the season, Hilo's Chris Campbell singled through the right side of the infield. The Vulcan left fielder had the first hit of the season after Kansas flew to Hawaii for the game opener.
Campbell's single had fans wondering if the Jayhawks were nervous about their first game of
As if on cue, Kansas freshman catcher Buck Afenir gunned down Campbell as he stole second, and settled worries about game one. Shortly thereafter, Kansas began work on an 11-1 blowout.
the spring, and it if a few kinks still needed to be worked out.
"Yeah, he was pretty pumped, and really, all of us got pretty pumped," said senior pitcher Kodiak Quick. "Our guys really played some good defense."
Quick (1-0) struck out Hilo's
first batter of the game, surrendered a hit to the second and followed that with another strikeout. The Vulcans ended with seven hits, but struggled to string anything together against Quick.
Those seven hits were intermixed with six strikeouts and just one walk, resulting in no substantial production until a brief stint in the fifth innning. Center fielder Dayne Ogawa's single to right field knocked in the player on third to score Hilo's lone run of game one.
which made the score 5-1.
In contrast, the Jayhawks slow start lasted all of three outs. Senior right fielder Gus Milner lead off the second inning with a solo shot to left center, his first home run of the season in his first at bat. With a runner on base, sophomore designated hit Brock Simpson, Afenir and center fielder Matt Baty each hit a single to tack on two more runs to end the second inning.
That would be all the runs
Quick made his exit before the eighth inning. He permitted a run and a walk, and he matched each of his six hits allowed with a strikeout.
Kansas would need, but not all it would score.
The Jayhawks hot offense produced 14 hits, including a pair of home runs and four Hilo pitching changes. Baty and Milner led the offense, each hitting 3-6. Milner nabbed two RBI while Baty had three.
1
As promised, Coach Ritch Price gave his freshmen a look and lifted Quick for right-hander Paul Smyth. Carter Holt, who took a redshirt last year, finished pitching the game. Neither player allowed a run.
"Really, I think all of our young guys played well," Quick said.
Finishing up a five game stand, Kansas will stay for a doubleheader tomorrow.

Hooters opens Las Vegas casino
BY RYAN NAKASHIMA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Hooters the tongue-in-cheek eater that parlayed spicy chicken wings and busty waitresses in skimpy outfits into an international restaurant chain, is opening its first ever casino and hotel a stone's throw from the Las Vegas Strip.
The grand opening Thursday marks the latest foray for the "delightfully tacky, yet unrefined" restaurant that began in 1983 in Clearwater, Fla., and later branched into calendars, merchandise and even an airline.
The Hooters customer is al— ready a Vegas kind of customer. They're a little punky, they're a little high energy, they're looking for a getaway — and all of those things just match up," said Ed Droste, one of the six men
who founded Hooters. Four of those original partners together own a third of the renovated hotel-casino.
The 696-room property with nine restaurant/bars is a revamp of the hotel San Remo and, despite its makeover, remains a midget compared with the 5,035-room MGM Grand across the street on a corner of the Strip that offers 14,000 hotel rooms.
The Hotel San Remo, first built in 1973, has been run for the past 17 years by the Izumi family of Japan who maintained a one-third stake in the rebranded business.
The San Remo's revenues and profits stagnated for at least the past five years, dwarfed in the shadow of the MGM Grand, New York-New York, Excalibur and Tropicana hotels on the nearest corner.
"San Remo was a nice little business," said Richard Langlois, senior vice president of marketing for Hooters Casino Hotel. "But the property can be better utilized with a brand like Hooters."
Hooters' operators hope to draw from a customer base of about 61 million annual visitors at its some 400 restaurants in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, Asia and the Caribbean.
Information and reservation hot lines have been set up at 80 restaurants in the Southwest, and staff will be rewarded with discounts and free rooms for promoting bookings, executives said.
Talks are ongoing with Hooters of America Inc. to fly customers to Las Vegas on Hooters Air, they said. The Atlanta-based company bought the franchise
and licensing rights from the founder and launched the airline in 2003.
Hoot rs casino operators have re branded almost every inch of the hotel, including using s b tly placed borderline gags ab out the female form to appeal a core audience of mostly married men aged 25 to 54.
Obsevers said the company mightc arve out a niche with a down-market offering in an area of the trip that has become more exensive.
"You know their market.
It's rela lively blue collar and young," said University of Nevada, L es Vegas history professor Hal Rothman, who wrote "Neon Metropolis: How Las Vegas Started the 21st Century."
"There 's really nothing else on the trip that caters to that market, he said."
MUSIC INDUSTRY
BY DAVID BAUDER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — While one quarter of the nation's music fans say they've downloaded songs onto their computers — legally or otherwise — a new nationwide poll suggests music executives should look elsewhere to explain their business woes.
Three in every four fans complain that CDs are too expensive, and 58 percent complain that music in general is getting worse, according to the poll conducted for The Associated Press and Rolling Stone magazine.
"Less talented people are able to get a song out there and make a quick million and you never hear from them again," said Kate Simkins, 30, of Cape Cod, Mass.
Ipsos' telephone poll of 1,000 adults, including 963
music listeners, from all states except Alaska and Hawaii was conducted Jan. 23-25 and has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
It's been a bad few years for the music industry, knocked on its heels by the popularity of downloading and iPods.
A total of 618.9 million CD albums were sold during 2005, sharply down from the 762.8 million sold in 2001, according to Nielsen Soundscan.
At the same time, 352.7 million tracks were sold digitally in 2005, a category that wasn't even measured five years ago.
After years where fans had to buy $20 CDs because they liked one or two songs, now they can download the songs for 99 cents a pop, or free if they can burn a copy from a friend.
GROUNDHOG DAY
Punxie Phil sees his shadow
BY DAN NEPHIN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PUNKSUTAWNEY, Pa. Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, but it was hard to find a plainer in the crowd on Gobbler's Knob, where the morning temperature was well above freezing and Thursday's high was expected to hit 48 degrees.
There were a few boos at the groundhog's prediction of six more weeks of winter, but most of the hundreds of revelers instead turned the event into an impromptu Pittsburgh Steelers rally.
Fans in football jerseys sang "Here we go steelers," and
members of the Punxutawney Groundhog Club's inner Circle threw black and gold Steelers "Terrible Towels" as they waited to rouse Phil his burrow.
The furry forecaster may be popular, but the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
"It's been really wonderful. This is just a ball. I'm having so much fun," said Nancy Durr, who came from Paxton, Neb., to the small western Pennsylvania town about 65 miles north of Pittsburgh to celebrate her 50th birthday.
She had been outside awaiting Phil's arrival since about 2:15 a.m. a rub-on Punxutaw-
ney Phil tattoo on each cheek.
Others latched on to the Phil frenzy for a publicity boost.
The National Environmental Trust said it's groundhog-suit-wearing human "will ignore his shadow and will instead rise on global warming evidence to forecast an early spring."
The American Physiological Society was offering experts to discuss "What Punxsutawney Phil can teach us about surviving massive blood loss, preventing muscle atrophy, and more."
The Pennsylvania Lottery even has Gus, "the second most famous groundhog in Pennsylvania," who implores lottery players to "keep on scratchin'."
A man in a hat is holding a dead groundhog as a crowd gathers around.
Punxsutawney Phil, the weather-predicting groundhog, is held by his handler Bill Deeley in front of an announced crowd of 14,000 who came to hear the prediction of six more weeks of winter in Punxsutawney, Pa. on Thursday.

As the lights keep getting brighter, Kansas freshman Brandon Rush keeps getting better.
This Sunday when Kansas plays host to Oklahoma, the lights will be as bright as they have been all season. The game will be televised on CBS on a day when college basketball action will be light. Rush will have an opportunity to show the country just how good he is and how good he can be.
And make no mistake about it. Rush will show the country how good he is and how good his team is.
The guard has seen big games this season as an opportunity to step up and carry the team on his back. Against Kentucky, with Dick Vitale announcing the game and Ashley Judd in the arena, Rush registered his first double-double of the season scoring a career high 24 points and grabbing 12 boards.
Against Iowa State, Rush again had a double-double on national television. Then on Monday night, again with the whole country watching, Rush put fear into the rest of the conference. The Texas Tech game made it clear that he was still getting every game and so is the entire team.
It doesn't matter how bright the lights are for Rush, he always seems to have his confident smile going before and after the game. But during the game is when his smile is the most fun to watch.
Every time he gets the ball, Rush is capable of doing something productive. Whether it's stopping and shooting from the three-point line, where he has hit more than 50 percent of his shots, or driving to the basket and making an acrobatic layup or dunk, Rush never seems fazed.
Unfortunately, now that Kansas fans are seeing just how good this kid is, and the whole country is starting to get a glimpse of Rush, his KU career might be over before it's fully enjoyed.
Even in the rowdiest of arenas, like Mizzo
ou Rush. Rush performs.
Every time Rush's name is brought up
in conversation, the question is invariably asked: How long do you think he will stay at Kansas?
The answer is anything but simple.
These days, NBA teams draft more on a player's potential than how he is playing right now.
Rush seems to combine the two categories. The upside on Rush is amazing. He is truly improving every game: Each game, he does something he didn't do in the previous game. His potential is scary.
This is the first time when all the focus has been just on Rush and not on his brothers or his eligibility.
It will be interesting to see how Rush continues to handle the bright lights. So far, he has yet to disappoint. No other freshman in recent history has had this big of an impact on Kansas basketball.
Think for a moment about how big of a statement that is.
Not Kirk Hinrich, Nick Collison, Wayne Simien or even Paul Pierce had this big of an impact his freshman season.
Rush's 14, 6 points per game is tied with Danny Manning for the most ever by a freshman. That's pretty good company.
Does he come back to Kansas and continue to get better under Kansas coach Bill Self and learn more about the game, all the while building a championship-caliber team with other freshmen Mario Chalmers and Julian Wright? Or, does he take the cash and start playing for a living?
All indications are that Rush's 14.6 points a game will continue to rise. He will continue to get better, and when the season's over, Rush will have an extremely tough decision to make.
It's a simple question with a complicated answer. But, one thing is for sure — no matter how bright the lights, Rush will continue to perform.

Home runs, excellent pitching lead to first victory of 2006 season
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Starting off the first game of the season, Hilo's Chris Campbell singled through the right side of the infield. The Vulcan left fielder had the first hit of the season after Kansas flew to Hawaii for the game opener.
Campbell's single nad tans wondering if the Jayhawks were nervous about their first game of
the spring, and if a few kinks still needed to be worked out.
As if on cue, Kansas freshman catcher Buck Afenir gunned down Campbell as he stole second, and settled worries about game one. Shortly thereafter, Kansas began work on an 11-1 blowout.
"Yeah, he was pretty pumped, and really, all of us got pretty pumped," said senior pitcher Kodikl Quick. "Our guys really played some good defense."
Quick (1-0) struck out Hilo's
first batter of the game, surrendered a hit to the second and followed that with another strikeout. The Vulcans ended with seven hits, but struggled to string anything together against Quick.
Those seven hits were intermixed with six strikeouts and just one walk, resulting in no substantial production until a brief stint in the fifth innning. Center fielder Dayne Ogawa's single to right field knocked in the player on third to score Hilo's lone run of game one,
That would be all the runs
which made the score 5-1.
In contrast, the Jahaywsks slow start lasted all of three outs. Senior right fielder Gus Milner lead off the second inning with a solo shot to left center, his first home run of the season in his first at bat. With a runner on base, sophomore designated hitter Brock Simpson, Afenir and center fielder Matt Baty each hit a single to tack on two more runs to end the second inning.
1
The Jayhawks hot offense produced 14 hits, including a pair of home runs and four Hilo pitching changes. Baty and Milner led the offense, each hitting 3-6. Milner nabbed two RBI while Baty had three.
Kansas would need, but not all it would score.
Quick made his exit before the eighth inning. He permitted a run and a walk, and he matched each of his six hits allowed with a strikeout.
As promised, Coach Ritch Price gave his freshmen a look and lifted Quick for right-hander Paul Smyth. Carter Holt, who took a redshirt last year, finished pitching the game. Neither player allowed a run.
"Really, I think all of our young guys played well." Ouick said.
Finishing up a five game stand, Kansas will stay for a doubleheader tomorrow.

IOWA STATE VS. KANSAS 1 P.M. SATURDAY AT ALLEN FILLDHOUSE
KU
KANSAS

Erica Hallman
Kansas Jayhawks, (13-6, 1-6 Big 12)
Player to watch:
Iowa State
COLLEGE
Season in review:
Kansas has struggled on defense all season long, and will have to stop Iowa State's three-point shooters to win. Currently the Jayhawks rank last in the Big 12 in scoring defense, a problem that has become more evident during the past week.
Forwards not named Crystal Kemp. The position has been shared by sophomores Taylor McIntosh and Jamie Boyd as well as freshman Marija Zinic. McIntosh has played well in the past two games, but foul trouble on Wednesday kept her from making a big impact. Boyd is bouncing back from an injury two weeks ago.
Iowa State
Brewing
Iowa State Cyclones, (12-7, 3-5 Big 12)
Key to victory:
- Michael Phillips
After losing on Wednesday, this game becomes a must-win for Kansas to protect its tournament chances. With a record of 2-6 in the conference, the Jayhawks will have to win all their remaining home games in addition to two on the road to finish with an 8-8 conference record.
A game that was supposed to be an easy victory for the Jayhawks instead turned into a 77-71 loss to Colorado. The Buffaloes have only two wins in the Big 12 this season, both against Kansas. Brown led all scorers with a career-high 24 and was able to lead a late charge, but ultimately the Jayhawks couldn't make it back.
Last time out:
Player to watch:
Key to victory:
Brittany Wilkins. The senior forward/ center is the Cyclones deadliest three-point shooting threat. For the season, she has knocked down 42.9 percent of her three-point shots on the season. Wilkins should get several open looks against a Kansas defense prone to giving up shots, especially three-pointers.
Iowa State must be aggressive on offense against a Kansas defense going through its worst stretch of the season. Cyclone guards must be aggressive in attacking the basket and taking pressure off post players. The higher the score, the better chance the Cyclones have of taking advantage of a frustrated Jayhawk squad.
After winning nine games in their non-conference schedule, the Cyclones
have struggled in the Big 12 Conference. Iowa State has dropped three straight games and now sits at 3-5 in the conference. Unfortunately for them, the toughest stretch of the season lies ahead with more than half of their remaining games on the road. The Cyclones and Jayhawks will meet up again exactly two weeks later in Ames, Iowa.
Season in review:
Last time out:
Iowa State dropped its third straight game Wednesday night at Nebraska, 54-42. The Cyclones played without leading scorer, junior point guard Lyndsey Medders, for the first time this season, snapping a streak of 67 consecutive games played. Half-court pressure by Nebraska forced Iowa State into 21 turnovers and just 15 field goals. Junior guard/forward Megan Ronhovde paced the Cyclones with 19 points and five rebounds.

Jayhawks sign two All-Americans for '06
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas soccer team signed six new players Wednesday, which could help to replace the loss of five starters, including the school's all-time leading scorer, Caroline Smith.
"Every one of these girls can come in next year and help," coach Mark Francis said. "Each one of them has a lot of potential and can utilize it to get to where we want them to be."
Of the six recruits, Dolinsky and McCabe have garnered the most accolades for
their play, as both players were named NSCAA High School All-Americans.
Dolinsky, a forward and midfielder out of Carmel Ind., was named all-state, all-district, and all-city. She also played for the Indiana Regional team for four years, an experience that Francis said would help her adapt easily to the college game.
Also a forward, McCabe earned individual honors similar to Dolinsky in her last year at Jenks High School in Tulsa, Okla. She is a lefty, a quality that Kansas had been lacking the past couple of seasons. She was named Oklahoma Player of the Year
and led her team to a state championship. Francis said she was part of a recruiting class the program could be proud of.
"We are very excited about this class," Francis said. "They are all team players and understand what it means to put it all on the line for the benefit of the team."
According to coaches, signees Kim Boyer, Meredith Monson, and Estelle Johnson have been known for their quickness on the field.
"Kim will probably be our fastest forward next season." Francis said. "We want to utilize her speed so she can beat players and cause problems."

Francis, though, said she saw no reason why the group wouldn't be able to keep Kansas at its presently high level.

Colorado pitcher's salary downsized
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Colorado Rockies defeated Sunny Kim on Thursday in the first salary arbitration case of the year, and the pitcher will earn $600,000 rather than the $800,000 he had asked for.
The decision was made by arbitrators Stephen Goldberg, Gil Vernon and John Sands, who heard the case Wednesday.
A 28-year-old right-hander, Kim went 6-3 with a 4.90 ERA in 10 starts and 14 relief appearances last year for the Washington Nationals and the Rockies. Colorado claimed him off waivers on Aug. 5.
Kim made the $316,000 minimum last year.

For highly-touted recruits college a father-son affair
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
ejorgensen@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
In December 2004, former Kansas basketball player Micah Downs pondered a jump to the NBA. His father, Steve, told media outlets that he wanted his son, then in his senior year of high school, to go to the NBA. He later said he wanted his son to play for Kansas.
It's not uncommon for fathers of today's high-profile men's basketball players to become deeply involved in determining which schools their sons choose. Two KU basketball players, however, said players leaned more on themselves than on their fathers when it came to recruitment.
Though Steve Downs' influence on Micah's transfer from Kansas last week is relatively unknown, freshman forward Julian Wright said he knew the influence Steve had on Micah's departure.
cause of his dad," Wright said. Ronnie Chalmier, director of men's basketball operations and the father of freshman guard
"I met Steve once. I thought he was funny." Mario said. "I never came across an instance where a dad was picking the school."
"I know for sure it wasn't because of his dad." Weight read.
Mario didn't speculate on why Micah left. He said Micah just didn't seem comfortable at Kansas.
"When we went out, he didn't ever go with us. He kept to himself." Mario said.
Mario and Wright played in last year's McDonald's All-American game. The best basketball talents in the nation crammed into one building to display their talents. Neither came across a player who said his dad made the decision for him.
He went on to say that Mario was first interested in Kansas. When Self called Mario to recruit him, Kansas became a quick favorite.
Ronnie Chalmers spent a lot of time with the families and fathers of those highly recruited players. He said he never heard a father
But it doesn't always work that smoothly.
There was an instance just this Wednesday — NCAA football signing day — in which Vidal Hazelton, rivals.com seventh-ranked football player and second-rated wide receiver, signed a letter of intent to play at the University Southern California. Hazelton's father did not sign the letter, saying he wanted his son to play at Penn State. Hazelton cannot play football anywhere until his father signs.
"I would do the research on the program, all the schools that recruited Mario, and the availability of scholarships," Ronnie said. "I told him, 'Wherever you go, it is your decision. It's you who is going to love it or hate it.'"
Mario Chalmers, said players thought independently when choosing a college. Downs was no exception. Ronnie said that in the few times he spoke with Steve, he never got the impression that Steve dictated Micah's decision of choosing college or the pros. Mario said he agreed with his father.

Pryor leads by example

KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
Chelsey Pryor first distinguished herself as the only player on the Kansas women's golf team to win a tournament last fall.
The senior won the ORU Shootout on Oct. 4 in Tulsa, Okla., her first career victory.
"I'm a big leader by example," Pryor said. "I'm not the most verbal person."
Pryor said she hoped her competitive nature carried over to the rest of the team this season.
A Washington, Pa., native, Pryor said she wanted to make sure she supported her teammates on and off the course.
"Our main goal is to make it to regionals, which is something that this program hasn't done in quite a while." Prvor said.
Pryor said the team chemistry has improved drastically since her freshman year. Senior leadership and great coaching were the major reasons.
"I love coach O'Neil; I wish I could have had her for four years," Pryor said about Kansas coach Erin O'Neil. "She's focused, driven, just everything I could of asked for." O'Neil is entering her second season as the coach of the Jayhawks.
O'Neil thinks highly of Pryor as well. "She's very dedicated, motivated, a type-A personality, just an all-around good person." O'Neil said. "She's the type of person you'd want representing your team."
Pryor said that junior Amanda Costner has helped her in leading the team this season. Costner won the Lady Boilermaker Invitational at Purdue last season, her first college tournament victory as well.
"I have a lot of respect for her game," Pryor said. "I'm always trying to get better because of her."
Tournament victories have
stemmed from the dedication of the team to practice and get better.
The team plays rounds at Alvamar Golf and Country Club, 1800 Crossgate Drive, and practice for up to five hours at a time. Pryor said. When she doesn't play rounds, Pryor practices on the course from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
"I know the girls worked hard over break, and I think we are going to shine," Pryor said. "KU hasn't always been a golf school, but we've brought in
Pryor also works hard in the classroom, as evidenced by her status as an Academic All-American.
"This school has given me absolutely everything that a college experience should be," Pryor said.

JaySox defeat Delta Chi 4
BY HEATH RIFFEL
hriffel@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
Going into Wednesday's game at the Student Recreation Fitness Center, the JaySox had never played together as a team. Team members said they knew that could be a challenge, and they didn't feel they had much of a chance to win.
Matt Kolarik, Hutchinson junior, and his roommate, David Piatt, Neodesha junior, formed
Despite their inexperience, the JaySox passed the ball well and ran a coordinated offense to defeat Delta Chi 4 by a score of 38-32.
"We are out of shape, and we were fatigued because we only had one sub," Kolarik said. "Even though we did not play well today, I'm still pleased with the way we ended up playing."
the team with some high school classmates of Piatt.
It was the first game for both teams, which was evident from
the low score and shaky shots early in the game. Both teams were strong defensively; Delta Chi 4 tried both the 2-3 zone and man-to-man defense. Neither was enough to overcome the JaySox.
In the first half, Kolarik was hot from behind the three-point line and had several steals. Most of the help in the scoring department came from Platt. The JaySox led 15-9 at the half.
The second half saw improved shooting from both teams. Reed
Niermeyer, Naperville, III., junior, led the Delta Chi 4 offense. Offensive scoring also came from Mitchell Tetuan, Topeka junior and Aaron Eckley, Oskaloosa, Iowa, junior.
The season-opening game had both teams fighting for breath by the end of the game. But the Jay-Sox were able to overcome the fatigue that came from having only one substitute, compared to Delta Chi 4's five bench players.

Yao's the man in All-Star fan balloting

Tim Johnson/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Houston Rockets' Yao Ming, of China, holds the ball high after catching an inbound pass over Milwaukee Bucks' Jiri Welch. Yao edged out Kobe Bryant as the top voterate in fan voting for the NBA All-Star game.
BY TIM REYNOLDS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Yao Ming edged Kobe Bryant as the top votegetter in fan balloting for the 55th NBA All-Star game Thursday, and Shaquille O'Neal became the fifth player in league history to earn 13 consecutive selections for the mid-season showcase.
"What happened two years ago, that really motivated me to come out and play even harder," James said.
Yao and Tracy McGrady give the host Houston Rockets two starters in the Feb. 19 game. They were joined on the Western Conference squad by Bryan, San Antonio's Tim Duncan and reigning MVP Steve Nash of Phoenix — who will be a first-time All-Star starter.
Added Cleveland coach Mike Brown: "It's an honor to be around him, it's an honor to work with him and I'm excited for him and his family because he definitely deserves it."
Cleveland's LeBron James was the top Eastern Conference voteter, edging O'Neal by 15,155 votes. It's the second straight All-Star trip for James, who says he's still drawing motivation from being snubbed during his rookie season.
“Hopefully, I can become a staple, like my teammate Shaq,” Wade said. “I'm grateful that NBA fans think so highly of my game.”
Jermaine O'Neal will miss the game with an injury, Detroit's Rasheed Wallace finished third in the voting among East forwards, meaning he'll likely be a strong candidate for that starting spot. But no Pistons were voted into the starting lineup, despite the team's 38-6 record — the NBA's best by a wide margin.
Indiana's Jermaine O'Neal and first-time All-Star starter Dwyane Wade of Miami rounded out the East's starting five.
Philadelphia's Allen Iverson.
Yao edged Bryant by 71,107 votes for the top overall spot in the balloting, despite missing 21 games following surgery to clean out an infection in his left big toe. It's the fourth All-Star trip for the 7-foot-6 center from China and the eighth for Bryant, who leads the NBA in scoring and had an 81-point effort — the second-biggest night in NBA history — last month in the Los Angeles Lakers' win over Toronto.
Yao finished with 2,342,738 votes; Bryant had 2,271,631 in the closest finish among the top two players since Vince Carter edged Alonzo Mourning by 33,385 votes in 2000.

Jayhawks need to play like Steelers
Sunday will mark one of the happiest, yet saddest days of the year for sports fans across America. It's Super Bowl Sunday, but it's also the last game of the most-watched sport in America, which will go into hibernation for the next seven months.
But have no fear, sports fans. College basketball will help the time pass just fine — at least until March.
The words college basketball and March are beginning to have more and more meaning across Lawrence lately. Kansas is making noise in Big 12 Conference play, winning five of its first seven conference games. Another victory could propel the Iavhawks into the Top 25.
On Sunday, the Super Bowl should be second on the list for people in Lawrence. This might be the most important game of the season for Kansas against No. 19 Oklahoma. Kansas is only one game behind conference-leading Texas in the Big 12. Oklahoma is tied with Kansas and Colorado for second place.
The Jayhawks have yet to see a team with the frontcourt and size of Oklahoma. The Sooners' Taj Gray and Kevin Bookout weigh 238 and 270 pounds, respectively. For Kansas to win on Sunday, it must get production from its post men, who will have to play with an aggressive, smash mouth mentality much like the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Sophomore forward Darnell Jackson is quickly turning into

TIM HALL thall@kansan.com
the most productive big man on the team. The Oklahoma City native hasn't scored fewer than 10 points during the Jayhawks' four-game winning streak. While sophomore center C.J Giles has been buried on Kansas coach Bill Self's bench, Jackson has been the first post player to enter the game behind sophomore center Sasha Kaun and freshman forward Julian Wright. Jackson has even been more productive at times than Kaun, who has only reached double-figure scoring once in the past eight games.
But who cares which big man has had the hot hand? Come Sunday, Kaun needs to come ready to play. Giles has to contribute. Jackson needs to bang his body around and act strong in the paint.
If the Jayhawks don't get aggressive play, tough defense, rebounding and diving-on-the-floor intensity from the big men, afternoon Super Bowl parties will be spoiled by a Kansas loss.
So get your Super Bowl parties ready, but remember to keep basketball in mind first.

Broncos sign center to contract extention
DENVER — The Denver Broncos and 12-year veteran center Tom Nalen have agreed to a three-year contract extension.
The deal was announced Wednesday.
"I'm very happy," Naien told The Denver Post in Thursday's editions. "This contract will put me at 37, 38 at the end, and I'd like to play three more years"
Keeping Nalen on the team was a priority because of his abilities and his place in team history, general manager Ted Sundquist said.

Bettis to play for ring
BY JOE KAY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SUPER BOWL XL
DETROIT — Jerome Bettis returned for one more opportunity to make a run at a championship. Against long odds, he got it.
Many stars in all sports go entire careers without playing in a superbowl. A few — Bettis, Mark Grace, Oscar Robertson, Ray Bourque come to mind — finally get a shot at one as they're heading for the exit.
It doesn't happen often or easily.
"In sports, you're going to have players who are great but haven't won championships," said Robertson, a Hall of Famer who got his NBA title with Milwaukee near the end of his career. "That's true. You only get one winner a year, and the rest of the guys don't win."
Like Bettis, who decided to play another season for the Steelers in hopes of reaching the Super Bowl, athletes will push their bodies as far as they'll go — and sometimes hang on longer than they should — to get the thing that sets a winner apart.
"You look at me — I played 17 years and didn't get one," quarterback Warren Moon said. "That had a lot to do with how long I played. I was still chasing that elusive, one last goal that I had left to accomplish in my career. Unfortunately, it never happened. But I'll tell you what: I did try."
Pro Football Hall of Fame spokesman Joe Horrigan notes that it's commonplace for stars to miss out on a shot at a championship. Before free agency changed the dynamics of sports and gave players freedom to pick their teams, a player could be stuck on a struggling franchise for a long time.
Archie Manning is Exhibit A. He spent his first 11 years with New Orleans, becoming
the face of misery for 'Aints fans who hid their own faces with paper bags. Now, it's up to sons Peyton and Eli — quarterbacks for the Colts and Giants, respectively — to do what their father never could.
"I never got close," Archie Manning said this week at a Super Bowl function. "Everybody just wants to get here, and I hope both of my boys get to do it."
Folks around these parts know that greatness doesn't translate into glory. Running back Barry Sanders spent 10 years with the Lions, but had only one playoff victory to show for it.
"It's a reality of the game," Sanders said. "Coming into the NFL, my assumption was that this is the NFL and, naturally, I'll get to the Super Bowl because all you have to do is win three games in the playoffs. That was a mistake I made, because I later found out how tough it was."

Wilt who? Prep star hits 113
BY BRIAN TOWEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hastings Discover Your Entertainment.
NEW YORK — Epiphanny Prince was instructed to maintain her intensity on the court, despite the less-than-stellar opponent and apparent lack of a challenge.
The 5-foot-9 high school senior couldn't have been more focused Wednesday.
Prince scored 113 points for Murry Bergtraum High School in a 137-32 victory against Brandeis High School, breaking a girls' national prep record previously held by Hall of Famer Cheryl Miller.
that great, and that I thought I might get bored," Prince said. "They told me to keep playing hard and doing my best."
As the points began to accumulate at a Kobe Bryant-like pace, Prince recognized the rare opportunity at hand.
"I was telling some college coaches before the game that in the (Public School Athletic League) the competition isn't
"After I scored 29 points in the first quarter, I didn't think much of it," Prince told The Associated Press by phone Wednesday night. "After I had 58 points at the half, and especially after having in the 80s after the third quarter, I just decided to go for it.
Prince, one of the nation's top high school players, is headed to Rutgers next season. Her previous high this season was 51 points for the Lady Blazers, ranked No. 2 in the nation by USA Today.
"It was efficient," she said. "It wasn't like I missed a whole bunch of shots. That's what made it even better."
Brandeis coach Vera Springer thought Grezinsky made a poor decision by leaving Prince in the game, the New York Post reported Thursday.
"It's nothing against Epiphanny," Springer told the newspaper. "I have great admiration for her. This was an adult decision. Why would you do this against a team like ours?"
Springer said her team, which has won only four league games this season, stopped playing defense in the second half.
"She didn't earn this." Springer said. "It was like picking on a handicapped person."

Super Sunday for Jayhawks, Sooners
KU Tip-off
ATA GLANCE
A victory on Sunday would go a long way in the minds of the NCAA tournament selection committee. Oklahoma will enter Allen Fieldhouse ranked No. 19 in the nation. A victory against a ranked team would pave the way for Kansas heading into the heart of Big 12 Conference play.
LAST TIME OUT
- Kansas won its fourth straight game on Monday night when it blew out Texas Tech, 86-52. Freshman guard Brandon Rush tied a career high with 24 points and sophomore forwards Sasha Kaun and Darnell Jackson each added 10. The victory marked the Jayhawks fourth straight.
PLAYER TO WATCH
♦ C.J. Giles. The sophomore center has not played many minutes in recent games but will likely have to see significant time when facing the talented Oklahoma frontcourt. Giles needs to stay on his feet when contesting shots and not pick up careless fouls, which have plagued him all season.
5 QUICK FACTS
14. 6 — Rush's scoring average, which ties him with Danny Manning for the best scoring output as a freshman in Kansas basketball history.
11 — Players that scored in Kansas' 86-52 victory against Texas Tech.
18. 6 — Number of assists per game averaged by Kansas this season, which leads the Big 12.
5 — Straight games that the Jayhawks have shot better than 50 percent from the field.
37. 9 — Percentage conference opponents are shooting from the field against Kansas.
LOOKING AHEAD
A victory on Sunday would likely put the Jayhawks in the Top 25 for the first time this season. The Jayhawks couldn't have found a better time to crack the rankings with just a few weeks remaining in the regular season. If Kansas can defeat Oklahoma on Sunday, it will have a much better chance of challenging Texas for the top spot in the Big 12.
KEY TO VICTORY
- Stay out of foul trouble. The Kansas frontcourt will be challenged early and often by Oklahoma post men Kevin Bookout and TaJ Gray. The Jayhawks post players need to stay in the game and not allow Bookout and Gray to get to the free-throw line. If the Kansas post players can stay out of foul trouble and the KU guards apply defensive pressure to confuse Oklahoma offensively, Kansas should be able to extend its winning streak to five games.
Kansas vs. Oklahoma, CBS Noon, Sunday, Allen Fieldhouse
Kansas Offense
Through the play of guards Russell Robinson, Brandon Rush, and Mario Chalmers, the Kansas offense is now one of the most prolific in the Big 12 Conference. Coming into conference play, Rush was the lone player on the Kansas roster to average 10 points per game or more. Rush has become more aggressive offensively as well. His 19 field goal attempts against Texas Tech was a season high. In conference play, Robinson and Chalmers have averaged more than 10 points per game.The KU guards have been unselfish with the basketball and created simple baskets for their teammates.
KU KU KU KU
Defense
The Kansas rebound margin against Texas Tech was the largest it has been all season, at plus 27. The KU defense has continued to stifle every opponent that it has seen in recent weeks, holding opponents to less than 40 percent shooting. Kansas has stepped up its perimeter defense lately also. It held Texas Tech to only two three-point baskets, which was the lowest total of any team against Kansas this season. While most of the Kansas defense has come through the play of its guards, Kansas will need solid post defense to stop Oklahoma's Kevin Bookout and Taj Gray.
Coaching
KU KU KU KU
Oklahoma
Following two heartbreaking losses to archrivals Kansas State and Missouri, Kansas coach Bill Self had his team in its best shape of the season. Self is now 61-22 at Kansas.The team has stayed focused and accumulated four straight victories. Kansas will have had five days to prepare for Oklahoma.Self's team will be well-rested for a game that could determine who challenges Texas for the conference title.
Offense

Ryan Colaiani
When Oklahoma and Kansas play each other Sunday, it will be one of the more physical games Kansas has played this year. That's because of the strong play by Oklahoma's big forwards, Tai Gray and Kevin Bookout. Gray is averaging 15.1 points per game, and Bookout is averaging 11.8 points per game. Kansas coach Bill Self called the two of them the best big-man combination in the Big 12 conference. Kansas held the duo in check last year. The two combined for just 11 points and six rebounds. Oklahoma has two other players that both average in double figures. Terrell Everett, reigning Big 12 Player of the Week, is averaging 12.1 points per game and Michael Neal averages 11.3 points per game.
Q Q Q Q
Defense
Oklahoma comes into Sunday's game as one of the best defensive teams in the league. Gray and Bookout are a big reason for that. The forwards combine for 15.1 rebounds per game. Gray also leads the team in blocked shots and is in the Top 10 in the conference as well. The Sooners have a way of slowing the opposition down by making them play a slow-paced game. If Oklahoma has its way on Sunday, it will slow down the tempo of the game.
U U U
Coaching
In his 12th season as coach of Oklahoma, Kelvin Sampson comes into Lawrence as one of the most successful coaches in the Big 12 Conference. Sampson has led Oklahoma to eight straight 20-win seasons. There are just seven other coaches who have a streak that long. Sampson has won more Big 12 games than any coach in the conference's history. Sampson also has an impressive streak of 12 consecutive postseason appearances and his team has captured the Big 12 Tournament three times. Sampson was twice named National

times. Sampson was twice named Nationa Coach of the year in 1995 and 2002.

OU Tip-off
ATAGLANCE
- Oklahoma comes into the game ranked No. 19 in the country. Two games ago, Oklahoma scored its biggest victory of the season knocking off No. 7 Texas in Norman, Okla. The Sooners started the conference season slowly, losing their first two games against Nebraska and Missouri. Since the Missouri loss, Oklahoma has won five games in a row.
- Oklahoma beat Texas A&M for the second time this season.
Michael Neal led Oklahoma with 16 points as he connected on 4-of-9 three-point attempts in the 71-63 victory.
Three other players scored in double figures. Neal missed the first two conference games in Oklahoma because of a groin injury, but his return has sparked the team. Texas A&M cut the lead to three points with 3:09 remaining in the game but didn't score again.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Actually, there are two — Taj Gray and Kevin Bookout. The Kansas frontcourt has improved its play lately, but has yet to face a team with the physical inside presence that Oklahoma possesses. Gray and Bookout complement each other well and share the ball beautifully.
5 QUICK FACTS
LAST TIME OUT
19 — The number of points for Terrell Everett in Oklahoma's 71-63 victory against Kansas last year.
607 — Oklahoma has outscoed its opponents 607-463 in the first half of games this year.
3 Bookout and Gray have combined to foul out of just three games all season.
32. 8 Oklahoma's three-point field goal percentage the worst in the Big 12.
25. 9 Oklahoma's defensive rebounds per game - the best in the Big 12.
LOOKING AHEAD
$ \diamond $ If Oklahoma is able to go on the road and secure a victory at Kansas, it would keep the Sooners in second place in the conference. Oklahoma still has to travel to Austin, Texas, to play Texas and still has a date with the other second place team, Colorado. A loss against the Jayhawks would put the Sooners in an almost impossible situation to win the conference with three losses so early in the season.
KEY TO VICTORY
The key for Oklahoma will
The key for Oklahoma will be rebounding. This will be a great test for the Kansas men. If they are able to keep Bookout and Gray off the glass, Oklahoma will struggle. If Gray and Bookout are able to control the rebounding situation, as they have the majority of the season, Oklahoma will likely leave the fieldhouse with a victory.

Texas will try to stay atop the Big 12 standings with a victory at home against rival Texas A&M. Texas had its first loss in the conference last weekend at Oklahoma. Since that game, it went on the road to beat Missouri.

For Missouri, the season has been a talsepin since its thrilling victory at home against Kansas. Missouri has lost four straight since that game, and the closest game it has had was a 13-point loss.

Both teams come off surprising mid week victories. Baylor won its first game of the season, beating Kansas State at home 72-70. Nebraska is coming off a major road victory at Oklahoma State. The victory improved Nebraska to 4-3 in conference play and keeps them in the mix for the NCAA tournament. A loss at home to Baylor would be disastrous. Wes Wilkinson has been the leader for Nebraska, scoring 19 points in 36 minutes against Oklahoma State.

One dead, another injured in shooting
Megan True/KANSAN

The Lawrence Police Department and Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical responded to gunshots early Sunday morning outside of The Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. One victim was airlifted to a Kansas City-area hospital and the other was pronounced dead on arrival at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
BY MIKE MOSTAFFA

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A double shooting just south of a downtown Lawrence night club left one man dead and another seriously injured early Sunday morning after a rap concert.
The victim was identified as 46-year-old Robert Earl Williams. Police on the scene found Williams face-down in the street near the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., at 2:12 a.m. Williams was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
A second man, a 22-year-old whose name has not been released, was found inside the Granada, where he had run after being shot, said Lawrence Police Capt. David L. Cobb in a written statement. Mike Logan, owner of the Granada, said in a written statement that his staff, who were cleaning trash from
the bar, had seen an injured man running through the back alley and had helped him inside the bar, attempting to assist him.
Cobb said the unidentified victim had suffered serious injuries and was transported by helicopter to a Kansas City hospital. The Lawrence Police Department confirmed that he had underwent surgery at the hospital.
Neither of the victims were Lawrence residents, Cobb said.
Witnesses described the shooting suspect as a 6-foot-tall African-American male wearing a "puffy-style" jacket. Cobb said the suspect was seen getting into a tan 1990s GM vehicle.

Grad's discovery leads to mission
STUDENT OPINION
BY CATHERINE ODSON codson@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
"Of course I was impressed," she said.
When Patricia Tombaugh first met her husband, Clyde, at the University of Kansas, she was amazed at his accomplishments.
Before coming to the University on an astronomy scholarship, Clyde Tombaugh discovered the planet Pluto in 1930 while at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz. He and Patricia were married in 1932.
Last year marked the 75th anniversary of the 1930 discovery, but Saturday marked another milestone for the Tombaugh legacy: the late Clyde Tombaugh's 100th birthday. KU astronomy enthusiasts celebrated the occasion with a presentation by Alan Stern, a NASA scientist, and a stargazing party.
Stern, principal investigator for the New Horizons mission, worked with Clyde Tombaugh on the mission from 1988 until Tombaugh's death in 1997. The mission will be the first to visit Pluto, and after visiting Pluto, it will also inspect other objects beyond the traditional boundaries of the solar system. The New Horizons mission launched this year on January 19, which allowed Stern to make the trip to Lawrence for the celebration.
Ninety-four year-old Patricia Tombaugh was a special guest at the launch.
The recent discovery of planets like 2003 UB313, which is larger than Pluto, and the Kuiper Belt, in which 2003 UB313 lies, has fueled the debate over Pluto's status as a planet.
Pluto always seemed like a misfit among other planets in the solar system, Stern said. Instead, he said, the eight innermost planets could be the misfits, and Pluto, along with most of the
thousands of possible planets in the Kuiper Belt, could fall into a new class called ice dwarfs.
Barbara Anthony-Twarog, professor of physics and astronomy, said by creating the ice dwarfs class, Pluto would retain its status, despite the great differences between Pluto and the other planets currently recognized in the solar system. People take a passionate interest in Pluto's status as a planet because it was so recently discovered, she said.
Stern said people want the nine-planet system to maintain the status quo. The thought of changing those classifications seems wrong to some, he said.
"People think there's something morally wrong with that," Stern said. "I think it'll shake out that things larger than Pluto will be planets."
After its survey of Pluto, New Horizons will continue into the Kuiper Belt to evaluate objects Stern called "embryos of planets." The spacecraft is not scheduled to return to Earth and will continue its research as long as its bullet-proof-like covering protects the spacecraft or until is simply quits working.
The New Horizons spacecraft, the fastest spacecraft ever launched, will reach Pluto in July 2015. The spacecraft contains seven scientific instruments, including one designed by students at the University of Colorado. The Student Dust Collector was the cheapest instrument produced for the mission and also was the most resilient, requiring no repairs before launch. That combination, Stern said, could lead to more student-designed components for NASA missions.
Along with the scientific components, New Horizons also contains a small canister that holds some of Tombaugh's cremated remains.
"This spacecraft is headed to the stars." Stern said.

Athletics reveal facility plans
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
ejorgensen@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
"The only way we would disturb the view of the Campanile is if there is a gravestone that says 'Bob Hemenway.'" Hemenway said.
Students can breathe a sigh of relief; the new football facility will not interfere with the view of the Campanile from Memorial Stadium.
KU Athletics Director Lew Perkins, Chancellor Robert
Hemenway and football coach Mark Mangino announced plans for a $31 million football facility on Sunday.
Groundbreaking for the project, in an undetermined location, will be in early 2007 and is expected to be completed by July 2008.
Perkins said there currently is no rendering of the facility. However, he said the building would include offices and academic areas as well as workout and nutrition facilities.
The football offices in the Wagnon Student-Athlete Center will go to women's sports in hopes of a increasing Title IX compliance, Perkins said.
Perkins said the department had secured all of the $31 million necessary for construction, mostly from two families. Former Kansas basketball player Tom Kivisto and alumnae Dana Anderson and their respective families were recognized as the primary donors. Other contributors were Charles
and Sharon Lynch Kimbell of Hutchinson, Frank Sabatini of Topeka and Ken Wagnon of Wichita.
Mangino said the donors' dedication to Kansas athletics would help him with his goal of a Top 25 ranked football team.Mangino said the facility would help convince recruits to sign with Kansas
"It's a place where you can develop the total player," Mangino said.

Final minutes make difference
BY RYAN COLIAMNI

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITHER
Oklahoma had three opportunities to win Sunday's game in Allen Fieldhouse in the final 1.7 seconds. Three wasn't enough.
It was an unlikely finish for Kansas, coming back from 16 down midway through the second half to steal a 59-58 victory over No. 18 Oklahoma Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse.
Oklahoma junior guard Michael Neal's final shot at the buzzer was short and the fieldhouse went crazy, giving Kansas its fifth victory in a row.
Kansas coach Bill Self said that the Jayhawks had played terribly for the first 32 minutes.
"We played about as well we can play on both ends of the court the last eight and a half minutes." Self said.
Neal said that he had thought he was fouled in that play, but he had not expected a call in that situation.
Kansas appeared to be out of the game with 10 minutes remaining, when it trailed by 16 points.
Oklahoma then went cold from that point, making just three shots the rest of the way.
"I was getting down on the team a little bit because they just kept scoring back to back to back. The lead kept on getting higher," freshman guard Brandon Rush said. "Then we just came together and our shots started falling."
Freshman guard Brandon Rush scored 10 of his game-high 18 points during a 25-8 run.
Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson said the loss was difficult because Kansas had outplayed OU for only the last six minutes of the game. The Jayhawks took their first lead in the second half on a Julian Wright dunk with less than a minute remaining.

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
February 8,1912
The Women's Athletic Association formed on campus with the goal to help create more women's athletic teams.
The original WAA was more of a reward group in its first year of existence. The group had set up a points system to reward women for their hard work and exceptional achievements, such as founding a team or winning a competition. The points system was modeled after a similar one at the University of Wisconsin. Upon joining the WAA, the girls promised to keep their bodies physically fit and maintain sportsmanship.
The WAA was responsible for forming the annual Mayday Playday, which was created to encourage sports participation by Kansas high school girls. Almost two hundred young women would participate in sports like archery, dance, swimming, volleyball and softball. The event allowed the best women athletes to compete against the best women from other schools in eastern Kansas.
The WAA also put on annual intramural tournaments so KU women could compete against each other. During some years at the tournaments, almost 1,000 women would participate.
The WAA helped pave the way for women's sports at the University, along with James Naismith, who coached the first women's basketball team to a 6-2 record in 1903. However, the team was not popular enough. It was more than 60 years later until a KU women's basketball team played in an intercollegiate game.
Even though the WAA had plenty of success, it was not successful based on its initial ambitions. The WAA's first goal was to get KU women to compete against other universities.
That goal was achieved in 1972 when Title IX was put into effect. Other universities around the country followed the University's lead and took steps toward making organized women collegiate sports a possibility. In 1975, KU gave out its first athletic scholarship to a woman.

Illegal subleasing common
HOUSING

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Landlords left out of changes
Low on cash or just needing a temporary place to stay with short notice, some students are turning to illegal subleasing for a quick, easy transition between different living spaces.
Students often sublease apartments or homes without the property managers' knowledge, which is illegal.
Vanessa, who asked that her last name be withheld for legal reasons, needed somewhere to live for a few months during the summer after moving out of the sorority she lived in during the school year.
Vanessa made a summer living arrangement at an apartment complex through a friend. Instead of signing a summer lease, she paid a cheaper monthly "rent" to her friend. Her friend made a copy of the front door key.
Kelly Scheueman, community manager for The Reserve , 2511 W. 31st St., said the management team had tried to avoid problems with illegal subleasing by closely monitoring vacant rooms.
"We monitor this with quarterly inspections of the apartments as well as documenting anything unusual while completing work orders in apartments," she said.
Scheuerman said no strange subleasing incidents had occurred since she came into her position in April.
She said if the violation was caught early on, the management would work with the resident to keep the situation pleasant.
"It is always our hope that residents do not intend to deceive us and we always take this approach when given the heads up," Scheuerman said.

Want to sublease a place? Be aware of e-mail scams
Buver beware; look for deals that are too good to be true.
Buyer warns: look for deals that are too good to be true.
Those looking to sublease an apartment through online services should be wary of scams from overseas. Con artists living in foreign countries may e-mail offers to buy or sell property. Watch out for offers to buy through shipping arrangements or business associates, instead of face-to-face contact. These scammers often offer to pay using a cashier's check for well over the sale amount, with the victim's name and address on the check. They then ask for the rest of the money to be wired back. When the victim goes to the bank to deposit the phony check, the bank will fine the victim.

Those looking to buy or sell property should do so locally. While the seam can come from anywhere, the most common countries involved in the scheme are Nigeria, Spain, Ukraine, Romania, Netherlands, United Kingdom and Italy.

STATE
Court halts Kline's abortion inquiries
BY JOHN HANNA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — The state's highest court on Friday temporarily stopped the state attorney general from looking at records from two abortion clinics, saying such a review could violate patient privacy.
The Kansas Supreme Court ordered a lower court judge to first make sure that Attorney General Phill Kline has the right to see the documents in his investigation of potential violations on abortion and suspected rapes of children.
If Judge Richard Anderson determines Kline does have that right, he must still ensure that the patients' privacy is protected, the court said.
In 2004, Anderson issued subpoenas at Kline's request for the records of clinics operated by Dr. George Tiller in Wichita and Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri in Overland Park. The records involve 90 women and girls.
health care and to obtain a lawful abortion without an undue governmental burden.
Writing for the court, Justice Carol Beier agreed with Kline that the state needs to pursue criminal investigations, but said "the type of information sought by the state here could hardly be more sensitive, or the potential harm to patient privacy posed by disclosure more substantial."
The Supreme Court said the subpoenas could infringe on the patients' rights to maintain privacy about personal and sexual matters, to receive confidential
Kline said Friday he was pleased with the ruling because he believes the subpoenas will eventually be honored.
He said his office never sought patients' names. "They are under no criminal liability or investigation. Their privacy will be protected," he said.
Where the buffalo roam
Kline opposes abortion, and Tiller's clinic has been high-profile target of anti-abortion protesters. The clinic, known for doing late-term procedures, was bombed in 1985, and Tiller was shot in both arms by a protester in 1993.
Peter Brownlie, Planned Parenthood's chief executive officer, said the ruling Friday "clearly indicates that Attorney General Kline overreached in his effort to get at abortion providers."

Hillel looks for new home
BY KRISTEN JARBOE
kjarboe@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The University of Kansas Hiliel is looking for new headquarters
With about 1,800 Jewish students at the University. Hillel is hoping to find a place that will hold more people.
Hillel has been located at 940 Mississippi St. since 1982, when there were few Jewish students on campus, said Jay Lewis, executive director of Hillel. Last year, however, 200 students were actively involved in the organization and 400 more participated in Hillel activities. The current building holds about 70 students.
Lewis said Hillel had looked at a few places around Massachusetts Street over the past two weeks.
"If we rent a place downtown, this means we won't permanently live there," said Melissa Horen, member of the facility task force, and last year's student president. "It just means it will be a good option for awhile."
Lewis has talked to several realtors and to the University
to explore what options Hillel has. Ideally the organization wants to be on campus, but when the organization starting looking for space on campus in the fall, there was not much available for it.
"Places like the Ecumenical Christian Ministries and the Islamic Center have great locations," Lewis said. "We would love to be that convenient for students." Ecumenical Christian Ministries is located on Oread Avenue, and the Islamic Center of Lawrence is on Naismith Drive.
In the event the group would be housed downtown, Horen said there would be a very high possibility that certain programs would be kept on campus, like the weekly Shabbat on Fridays.
"It's important to be accessible for the students," Horen said.
When space becomes available, Lewis said that selling the group's current residence would not be a problem. In order to help pay for the new property, however, fundraising would be important.

Flowers lie in front of the Brass Door restaurant in Gassville, Ark., Sunday, where Gassville police officer James Sell was shot and killed in the parking lot Saturday. According to Arkansas Police, Jacob Robida, 18, who was suspected of a hatchet-and-gun attack in a New Bedford, Mass., gavil bar, shot and killed Sell.
Teen shooting suspect dies
BY NOAH TRISTER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jacob D. Robida, 18, died at Cox-South Hospital in Springfield, Mo., hospital spokesman Randy Berger said.
GASSVILLE, Ark. — The teenager suspected in a hatchet and gun attack inside a New England gay bar and in the killing of a policeman died Sunday after being wounded in a shootout with Arkansas officers. Authorities believe he also killed a woman he had picked up while driving through West Virginia.
Investigators said the high school dropout from New Bedford, Mass., had dabbled in Nazism, and police there said the attack that injured three men, one critically, at the Puzzles Lounge on Thursday was a hate crime.
New Bedford police said Sunday they were still trying to
determine what motivated Robida and if he had any help.
"By no means is the investigation is over," said New Bedford police Capt. Richard Spirlet.
"I wish he would have lived and gone on trial," said Dan Sheterom, 51, who lives above Puzzles Lounge and frequents the tavern.
Police in New Bedford had sought Robida on charges of attempted murder, assault and civil rights charges.
Joy Ward, assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, was announced Friday as the first recipient of the Thelm and Edward Wohlgemuth Faculty Scholar Award at the University of Kansas.
The new award was designed to retain talented non-tenured faculty members by providing them with research and salary assistance.

Ward's primary research focus is on the relationship between plants and atmospheric carbon dioxide. Her most recent paper, "Carbon Starvation in Glacial Tress Recovered From the LaBrea T Pits", was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science in 2005.
"This award has reaffirmed my strong commitment to KU," Ward said in a press release. "I look forward to many productive years here at the University of Kansas."

Concert on the hill to return in spring after four years
Professor wins award for research in natural science
The annual music festival Day on the Hill will be making its return to the University on April 8,2006,after a fouryear absence.
The concert will be held on the lawn of the Lied Center and will be free for KU students and $15-20 for non-students. Bands for this year's festival will be announced at a later date.
With the passing of the Student Activity Fee in Spring 2005, Student
Union Activities has been able to expand its current programming, giving it the opportunity to host larger events.
"We are very excited to be planning an event of this magnitude," said Adam Argetsinger, SUA vice president, in a press release. "A large scale music festival is something that our organization has been unable to provide in recent years due to limited funding."

Shooting
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Mike Zimmerman, Bettendorf, Iowa, senior, was leaving with his friends on the way home from a party. They attempted to drive down Massachusetts Street but were stopped by police who were closing off the crime scene to gather information, he said.
Zimmerman saw a man, whose face was badly bleeding, lying on his back in the street receiving CPR from another man. Zimmerman said that at first he had thought the man was injured in a fight, but then realized the man's injuries were much more serious.
"After watching the guy receive CPR, you could tell he was done." Zimmerman said.
The concert at The Granada was the opening tour date of Upset Records, a Midwest rap label. One of the label's artist, Doe, is from Topeka. Neither Doe or Upset Records could be reached Sunday for comment.
While Massachusetts Street is not known for gun violence, this is not the first time gun shots have been fired in this popular entertainment district.
In October of 2003, Jason A. Tremble, of Topeka, fired multiple shots into the sidewalk outside of It's Brothers Bar & Grill, 1105 Massachusetts St. According to a Lawrence Journal World article, the incident left 11 people injured.
The incident is the first gun-related death since the murder of 28-year-old Robert Tyrone Martin. Martin was shot to death at The Reserve, an apartment complex formerly known as Jefferson Commons, on April 4, 2004.
Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call the Lawrence Police Department Detective Division at 785-830-7430, or to remain anonymous, call the TIPS HOT-LINE at 785-843-TIPS (8477).

SCIENCE
PLUTO
Megan True/KANSAN
Alan Stern, a scientist who works with the New Horizons mission team, speaks Saturday at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union about the recent satellite launch into space that will go to Pluto and beyond. KU graduate Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered Pluto, will become the first man to be launched into deep space because some of his ashes are inside a canister inside of the satellite. The satellite is expected to reach Pluto in 2015.
KU Grad finds names Pluto
In the years before the Great Depression, Clyde Tombaugh spent his days on a Kansas farm, working and teaching himself geometry and astronomy with a homemade telescope. When the farm began to suffer, Tombaugh began writing observatories with plans for a new telescope in hopes of pursuing his research.
Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz., received Tombaugh's drawings at the same time it was planning to revive the late Percival Lowell's search for Planet X. Tombaugh spent the next year and a half at the observatory examining pairs of photographed plates, attempting to distinguish the planet from the thousands of moving objects.
"You look at these plates and realize how tedious the
job was," said Steele Wotkyns, public relations manager at Lowell Observatory.
Barbara Anthony-Twarog, professor of physics and astronomy, said Tombaugh had inspected more than 1,500 pairs of photographs as he searched for the new planet.
At 4 p.m. on Feb. 18, 1930, Tombaugh confirmed the existence of Planet X. The Lowell family suggested naming the planet "Percival," but the observatory held a contest that resulted in the name "Pluto." Stern said the Lowell family probably accepted this as a compromise: the first two letters of the name are the late Percival Lowell's initials.

OBITUARY
Former Kansas City Star editor, Royals fan, dies
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Former Kansas City Star editor, Joe McGuff, died Saturday night at his home, The Kansas City Star reported. He was 79.
McGuff, who is survived by his wife, Kay, and six adult children, may be best remembered for his role in bringing to Kansas City the expansion Royals baseball team in 1969, two years after Charles O. Finley moved the Athletics to Oakland.
McGuff began his career at The Kansas City Star in 1948 as a sports reporter. He later
ascended to sports columnist in 1966, and his columns became a fixture on the Kansas City sports scene for the next 20 years.
"He will criticize you, but in the kindest way possible," late Royals owner Ewing Kauffman once said of McGuff.
In 1986, McGuff was named editor and vice president of The Star and The Kansas City Times, and oversaw many of the newspapers' watershed moments, including the merger of the morning and afternoon newspapers. He retired from the newspaper in April 1992, the same month The
1 "
Joe always put The Star's interests above his own, and Kansas City's interests above The Star's. He wanted the paper to improve our community, not bludgeon it."
Mark Zieman
Editor, The Kansas City Star.
Star won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting.
McGuff was elected to the Royals board of directors in 1994 and helped steer the
franchise through Kauffman's succession plan to David Glass' purchase of the team in 2000.
In 1999, McGuff was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, known as Lou Gehrig's disease. He was enshrined in the baseball writers wing of the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., in 1985, the same year he threw out of the first pitch of game seven of the World Series. He also was a member of the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame.
In all, McGuff covered six Olympics, 31 World Series and 16 Super Bowls.
"Joe always put The Star's
interests above his own, and Kansas City's interests above The Star's," said current Star editor Mark Zieman. "He wanted the paper to improve our community, not bludgeon it. But when facts supported it, he loved hard-edged, investigative reporting, especially if it involved misspend tax dollars or standing up for the little guy.
"And when the big guys complained, he always listened graciously to their objections, sent them happily on their way — and ran more tough stories. He was just an outstanding editor, and a good man."

Cancer center goal shows initiative
More than 12,000 Kansans were living with cancer in 2002. Even more Kansans have had family members and friends live with the disease and maybe die as a result of it after months or years of treatment. Travel to distant treatment centers was the only choice for those diagnosed, but thanks to Gov Kathleen Sebelius, that may change.
The governor's pledge to provide $5 million in state funds to jump-start the drive to designate the KU Cancer Center at the KU Medical Center as part of the National Cancer Institute is something that has been a long time coming. The need for such an institution — for treatment, for medical advancement and for education — is immediate.
Iowa City, Iowa; Omaha,
Neb. and St. Louis are the
closest cities to Kansans living
in the eastern half of the state
containing NCI centers. If treat-
ment required regular visits,
those Kansans had to move
to those locations, straining
their budgets and families. If
they were unable to make that
commitment, they had to seek
treatment here by methods that
Issue: Governor Sebelius and Cancer research.
may not have been as effective as those being tested at an NCI center.
Stance: We applaud the governor's goal for the KU Cancer Center.
Local cancer patients aren't the only ones who would gain from a designated center at the KU Medical Center. The University would gain from the research funds, students would gain from the faculty such a site would attract and the state would gain a reputation for sponsoring medical research. But those interests pale to the benefits that cancer sufferers would receive.
Millions more will be needed to make the KU Cancer Center part of the NCI network. The governor's offer of state support may entice others to see the importance of this initiative and bring in the rest of the necessary funds.

Tolbert, better known as "Sly Dog" around these parts, corrected me on that issue right away.
TALK TO US
He says he has a home, that he likes his current position, so he's definitely not "homeless."
This is because of a revelation he had after he squandered away a $65,000 workman's compensation settlement he won in 1997 after hurting his back.
There are occurrences places and people that I, a sheltered, fairly well-off Johnson county kid will never know or understand.
"It taught me that material things are of no value," Tolbert said. "What is of value is, I sleep on that sidewalk, and when I wake up at 1:30 in the morning on a beautiful day, the big dipper's right there. And I look down at the ground level, and there's a rabbit nibbling, right over here. And I can't see anything I'd rather do — like be able to watch a big-screen TV like [people] got at their house — than to watch that picture, I see out here that's natural, made by God."
legislative branch was pretty mean to the homeless,but he said that there were so many organizations and individuals around the city who provided services that Lawrence was a great place for those without homes.
I was talking to Tolbert at the Lawrence Community Shelter, 115 W. 11th St., where he and lots of other
SINCE 1980
"This is one of the best places you could ever live if you are homeless, or houseless," he said.
Our discussion soon turned to chess, religion and the meaning of life, among other things, so I gave up on my dreams of a hard-hitting exposé and decided to just let the man talk.
"I've been out here for so long — not just here, but in California, out in the streets, and I got places I could go to, but I just feel an obligation," Tolbert said. "A lot of people come to me, and talk to me, you know, about their girlfriend, or about their drug situation, or alcohol, or their momma died, and they know right where to find me. I'm always there."
That was Tolbert's usual hangout, until a couple of weeks ago when the police informed them that doing so violated city codes. They told them they had to leave. Thankfully, the shelter opened its doors for them.
He told me about how he plays chess with junior high school students during the summer and watches proudly as they improve.

After hearing about their encounter with the police, I was reminded of Lawrence's recent ranking of second on the National Coalition for the Homeless' list of "meanest" cities to the homeless.
"houseless" people were eating a breakfast of bacon, eggs and pancakes. My friend Cooper Arnold, Olathe freshman, and a group of others were feeding them at 8 a.m. on a Saturday.
He told me about how he sometimes felt like "the mayor of 10th Street." He told me
Arnold, along with a group of other students goes out every Saturday to feed the homeless.
about how he refused to take government money, and how he tried to repay those who have helped him.
They used to do it on the sidewalk at 10th and Massachusetts streets.
"I don't understand why people have a problem with people feeding people," he said. "But they did it to Jesus. He said, 'if they did it to me, they'll do it to you.'"
"I stay at Trinity [Episcopal Church], and they allow me to keep all my stuff there," Tolbert said, "but in return — nobody asks me to — I go clean the office and pick up all the trash every morning, make sure the drunks aren't there throwin' bottles."
I decided to investigate the issue, going straight to those affected by it.
I asked Tolbert his opinion on the matter.
Tolbert agreed that the city's
Tolbert pointed me to another man, Robin Larson. I wondered if he could offer more insight on what it was like to be without a home.
"You want to find out what it's like to be homeless in Lawrence?" he asked.
"If you don't experience it yourself, you'll never know what it's like. Throw a backpack on, get rid of your checkbook, get rid of your credit card, don't touch a damn bit of money. Come on down here and walk the walk. Until that point in time, anybody that comes down here ain't gonna know what it's like," he said.
All I could say was, "Yeah,
that's a good idea. I'll have to
think about that sometime."
I thought about that on the way home, and I knew that Robin Larson was right. There are occurrences, places and people that I, a sheltered, fairly well-off Johnson County kid, will never know or understand.
I guess the best I can offer is my respect and admiration.

Beauty always depends on confidence; anyone feels beautiful through realization
While patiently standing in the checkout line at Target, a package of note cards, and box of detergent in hand, my eye causally glanced over to the carefully positioned magazine rack.
I intently studied the beautiful Josh Hartnett, Jessica Simpson and other sexy models striking poses in all the latest issues of People, Vogue and every other magazine on the rack.
They are all categorized as nothing short of "beautiful" by the American eye.
COMMENTARY
Each of these cultural icons, as well as countless others, share one common feature: their looks.
Not to devalue that esteemed opinion, but I cannot help but question the overconfident definition of beauty.
Is it possible that they are beautiful because their name brand jeans and trendy accessories allow them to feel that way?
Are these people beautiful because of their fake tans, botox, bleached teeth, dyed hair and façade of makeup?
PARKS DAVID
Or are they beautiful because
If the girl with Seven jeans and a full face of makeup feels just as beautiful as the girl wearing sweats and her hair in a messy bun — if in the end they both feel that they are internally secure and adequately portray their self image — then they have unlocked the mystery to finding what they need to be comfortable and "beautiful."
YALENA PAVLIK
opinion@kansan.com
It is not difficult for either sex to get caught up in the search for the best abs, whitest smile or most realistic fake tan.
The famed icons and corporate duos then team up to further persuade a public that is more than willing to follow suit into what they hope will bring them an internal state of self confidence
In fact, for many it is no longer a search, but a 'to-do' list that must be checked off in order to match their unrealistic celebrity role models.
People often overlook the dollar amount that these idolized personalities and their corporate partners exchange in order to present the image the stars so easily seem to display.
Surprisingly, the seemingly ungraspable quest for "beauty" is in fact a cyclical pattern produced through ourselves and it is anything but unattainable. The emotional and internal state that one must deal with on a daily basis is often ignored in our search for the perfect self image.
and beauty.
The question, therefore, does not lie in how we look.
It lies in how we feel about ourselves and, as a result, how we express ourselves to the world.

Walking down the street later that same afternoon, I passed several people: A girl proudly sporting her Louis Vuitton handbag and Ug boots, a couple with trendy winter coats, a guy displaying his favorite band on his wrinkled blue T-shirt and several others content in their comfy sweatshirts and jeans.
In the end it all cycles back to a single truth: The level of comfort with one's identity and self-image.

Two points and five rebounds in only 12 minutes of action does not look like an impressive game on paper.
PETER JOHNSON
CJ Giles
However, CJ Giles' effect on Kansas' 59-58
victory over Oklahoma Sunday afternoon goes beyond the box score.
Giles logged only three minutes in the first half, but was on the floor for the last nine minutes of the game, when Kansas made its run from 15 points down to eventually win the game.
"He was great today." Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Maybe this is what he needed to get his confidence back up. This game should do wonders for CI."
Giles blocked three shots in the last six minutes of the game, and Self said that he had probably altered about five more shots. He forced Oklahoma to settle for bad shots, instead of driving to the basket for easy lay-ups.
Giles' first block came with 6:04 to play. Oklahoma guard David Godbold went up for a shot and Giles rejected it and collected the rebound. Godbold then fouled Giles. Giles then went to the free-throw line for two shots.
When he stepped to the line, Kansas trailed by 10. Coming into the game, Giles was only 13-of-30 from the free-throw line. He calmly hit both shots
and cut the lead to eight.
Before Sunday's game, Giles had been struggling, playing limited minutes. He collected only three blocks in seven games. However, Giles said that the first block he had made had given him confidence for the rest of the game and then for the rest of the season.
"I feel like Coach has a lot more confidence in my ability to play defense than offense." Giles said. "I'm going to focus more on defense and I know the offense will come around."
Giles' second block came, with Kansas chipping away at Oklahoma's lead. Giles blocked Oklahoma forward Taj Gray's shot and it was deflected to freshman guard Mario Chalmers. Kansas would eventually score on the later possession to cut the lead to two.
Giles would get his final block during the last 29 seconds of the game on another Gray shot attempt.
Although he didn't hit any field goals, Giles said it had been his most memorable performance in a Kansas uniform. His younger brother Malcolm was at the game, which made the game even more special for Giles. It was the first time he had been to Kansas and seen a game at Allen Fieldhouse.
"Coach rates everything by your performance in practice," Giles said. "If you are dominating practice you are going to get some minutes. I wasn't playing as well in practice as I should have been. I thought I played real well this week in practice, though."

The Jayhawks' redemption
You can call it a beginning, a sign, a different feeling that hasn't swept
Ironically, about 20 minutes earlier, everyone thought all hope was lost. Fans held their heads in their hands and were on the verge of tears. Kansas had lost in Allen Fieldhouse by 16 points. The college basketball experts will look to this as a day when a team and a coach finally accomplished to their first "great" moment together. What transpired should give fans a reason to believe that there could be more to come in March.
This Jajahawks showed something in Sunday's 59-58 thriller against Oklahoma that hasn't been seen since the Final Four teams of 2002 and 2003. This team exhibits a genuine love for playing as a team and for its coach. Unlike the past couple of years, it's obvious that it has bought what Bill Self teaches.
For the past two years we have seen a team, though immensely talented, plagued by an inability to let go of the way they were used to playing.
On Sunday, a new face of Kansas basketball emerged. For now, this team is showing the leadership that many claimed it lacked earlier in the season.
Facing certain defeat, the Jayhawks turned to freshman Brandon Rush, who delivered by scoring a gamehigh 18 points. They turned to their defense, sparked by backcourt of Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers. If not for team defense, there would not have been a comeback.
What made this victory so remarkable was that everyone saw what is possible. After being out-rebounded by Oklahoma's duo of Taj Gray and Kevin Bookout, Kansas showed perseverance by fighting for rebounds and out-hustling the Sooners when it counted the most.
Granted, this was just one game, but what happened Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse should assure fans that this team may be able to answer a call to glory when it reaches a time when its fate is decided by one game. When that happens, fans and experts will all recall Super Bowl Sunday.
That may be when it all began.

KANSIAN SANST WRITER
It takes a lot to overshadow the Super Bowl, but the Jayhawks might have done it with their 59-58 victory against Oklahoma. The big game did not keep the students away, and freshman forward Julian Wright knew why.
"The Super Bowl is small beans compared to KU-OU." he said.
For Jessica Wood, Olathe sophomore, being at the basketball game took precedence.
"I might watch the halftime show, if I wake up," she said. "I just don't think I'm going to
After a late Saturday night, Wood woke up at 8 a.m. Sunday to make it in time for the noon tip-off. Wood can take solace in the fact that she is in the majority. The NFL estimates that 133 million Americans tuned in for at least part of the 2005 game.

This still leaves 167 million people that didn't see Pittsburgh defeat Seattle last night. Engineering student Don Claus is a member of that group. Instead of watching the game, he spent Sunday at the Spahr library, studying engineering circuits.

DETROIT — The Pittsburgh Steelers finally gave coach Bill Cowher some Super Bowl satisfaction.
Moments after the Rolling Stones rocked a Ford Field filled with Terrible Towels, Willie Parker broke a record 75-yard touchdown run, sparking Pittsburgh's 21-10 victory Sunday over the Seattle Seahawks.
The Steelers earned that elusive fifth championship ring, their first since 1980, and also completed a magic Bus ride that made Jerome Bettis' homecoming — and farewell — a success.
"I'm a champion. I think the Bus' last stop is here in Detroit," Bettis said. "It's official, like the referee whistle."
It was sweet validation for Cowher with a title in his 14th season as their coach, the NFL's longest tenure. The tough guy, who lost his only previous Super Bowl 10 years ago, teared up as he walked to midfield to embrace Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren.
"It's surreal," Cowher said, "I'm going to tell you, this is a special group of coaches, a special group of players. I was one small part of this."

Cyclones fall to Jayhawks
When she got the ball, she saw nothing but an open path to the basket.
By the time she was in the lane, Erica Hallman got knocked down, sending her to the free-throw line for the winning shot.
The Kansas women's basketball team survived a heart-stopping finish and defeated Iowa State 65-64 to preserve the team's postseason hopes.
The Jajahaws watched a 19 point lead disintegrate in the second half, but the senior guard Hallman hit the winning free throw with 5.5 seconds showing on the scoreboard.
Iowa State had one last chance to drive the length of the court, but a long was tipped by sophomore guard Taylor McIntosh and rolled around on the court as time expired.
"Those last three seconds felt like about 20 seconds," Hallman said.
"I knew I couldn't because of the way things were going," Kemp said. "As aggressive as I wanted to be, I would have probably picked
It was another full day of work for the Kansas seniors. Hallman logged 37 minutes while guard Kaylee Brown and forward Crystal Kemp each put in 38. Kemp was tagged for her first foul seconds into the game, but managed to stay out of foul trouble until she drew her fourth with five minutes to play. She petitioned with Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson to stay in the game, but she was denied.
up a fifth one."
The Cyclones struggled to stop the Jayhawks early. They ran a zone defense, which has become the accepted way to play Kansas. However, the Jayhawks' shooters hit shots and forced the Cyclones into a man-to-man defense in the second half.
Catic's improved play came at a critical time for the Jayhawks. She has been one of the team's star players, but has struggled in conference play.
Freshman guard Ivana Catic, who finished one shy of a career high with 15 points.
"She's working hard and she wants to get it right," Hallman said. "She's ran the team a lot better the last couple of games."
The victory advanced Kansas' record to 14-6 on the season, and guarantees the team will finish with a winning record. The Jayhawks are 3-6 in conference play and will likely need to finish 8-8 to make the postseason, meaning this won't be the team's last must-win game.
On Wednesday, the team will visit Norman, OKla., to take on the Oklahoma Sooners. Notebook

Iowa State was playing without its leading scorer, junior guard Lyndsey Medders, who has a foot sprain and will likely miss one more game before returning. After the game, she had a message for Henrickson.
"She shook my hand and said she'd see me in Ames," Henrickson said.

The Jayhawks were led on offense by their forwards as Zellmer, Bruhn and junior Nick Hantle combined for seven of the team's eight goals. The Minnesota natives were held to only one goal in a 6-9 tie with Illinois State on Friday night, and they knew that they would need to increase their offensive production for a victory on Saturday.

Kansas grabbed an early lead less than seven minutes into the game when freshman forward Ben Bruhn powered in the game's first goal. Seconds later, Zellmer added his first goal on his way to his hat trick.
The Jayhawks improved their record to 10-13-1 through their first 24 games of the season.
Before Friday's game, the Jayhawks honored former teammate Connor Meigs by retiring his jersey. Meigs died on December 24, 2004, because
of complications from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. His friends and teammates described Meigs as a selfless person whose generosity made him a team favorite, both on the ice and in the locker room.
The Jayhawks displayed tremendous resolve on Friday night in a come from behind effort that Hantge described as "the most impressive display of heart" from the team all season. The victory on Saturday offered a perfect conclusion to a very emotional weekend, and the team left the rink satisfied with its performance.
"The entire weekend was filled with a great team atmosphere," Zellmer said after the victory.
The Jayhawks look to continue their recent success next Friday and Saturday with two road games against Saint Louis University. The final home game of the season will take place at 8 p.m. on March 3, when Kansas takes on the Missouri Tigers.

The Red Wings are 3-0 against the Avalanche this season, but unlike their first two meetings, when they combined for 17 goals, this one was dominated by defense and missed opportunities on the power play.

Ten shots to be exact.
"It's been good all year, but the last two games it has really struggled. We have given away three points in two games, and it was the difference tonight."

Collins helped junior wide receiver/cornerback Charles Gordon develop into a shutdown corner in 2004, when Gordon had seven interceptions, which tied for the NCAA lead. Freshman cornerback Aqib Talib posted solid numbers as well, with eight pass breakups and 54 total tackles last season under the guidance of Collins.
Senior Angela Pichardo won the women's 1000-meter run for the Kansas track and field team in the two-day Husker Invitational in Lincoln, Neb.
Sophomore Matt Baysinger won the 600-yard run for the third consecutive week.
In the same event, eventer Erik Sloan finished third (8:13.56) and sophomore Colby Wissel came in fifth (8:15.27).
M
He ran a provisionally qualifying time of 8:00.83 in the 3000-meter race.

Road victory big for Jayhawks' season
— Evan Kafarakis
Over the four years Clark Campbell has been the swimming and diving coach he has never had a better dual meet record.
After defeating Iowa State on Saturday, Kansas finished the regular season 8-2 overall and 3-0 in the Big 12 Conference.
The format at the Iowa State meet was a little different for Kansas; some of the events they swam were a little shorter than usual.
Campbell said he hoped the team would carry their momentum into the Big 12 Championships, which start Feb. 22 in Columbia, Mo.
"We were able to experiment with being aggressive," Campbell said. "We did a really good job pointing our energy towards our goal."
The Jayhawks led 91-59 after the first day of competition, but Campbell wasn't completely satisfied with one day of competition remaining
"It's kind of tough in swimming to get off the bus and race right away," Campbell said. "We did what we had to do Friday night, it wasn't spectacular, but it was solid."
Campbell said the team's day two performances were more focused.The Jayhawks ended up defeating the Cyclones 183-114.
The victory improved the team's record to 3-1, its best start in three years.
Winners in singles competition for the Jayhawks included senior Christine Skoda, sophomores Elizaveta Avdeveva and Lauren Hommell and freshmen Edina Horvath and Yuliana Svistun.
The Kansas tennis team defeated Utah 6-1 on Saturday in Salt Lake City.
TENNIS Team off to best start since 2003
— Betty Kaspar
The only singles loss for the Jayhawks came as a surprise. Freshman Ksenia Bukina, No. 79 in the nation in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings, lost in two sets, 7-6, 6-4, to sophomore Elizabeth Ferris.
The Jayhawks will be back in action on Feb. 18, when they hit the road to take on the Louisville Cardinals.

Tiger continues hot start, wins overseas
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Tiger Woods won a playoff for the second straight week, beating Ernie Els in the Dubai Desert Classic.
Woods drove the green on the 359-yard 17th to set up a birdie-birdie finish that got him into the playoff, where he defeated Els with a par on the first extra hole
Sunday.
Els also birdied the last hole with a 6-foot putt. But on the par5-18th hole in the playoff, he pulled his tee shot into the sandy grove of palms, and his approach came up about a yard short into the water. He took a drop and pitched 20 feet beyond the hole, missing his par putt. Woods, who went just over the back of the green in the playoff, chipped to 6 feet and two-putted for par.

Texas held onto the top spot by beating Texas A&M on Saturday in Austin, Texas. Every voter had Texas in first place. The Longhorns have the best record in the Big 12 Conference, losing only to Oklahoma in Norman, Okla.
Kansas jumped one spot in the rankings by holding on in a thriller on Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse against Oklahoma. The Jayhawks have won 12 of their past 14, and were a unanimous No.2 decision in the voting.
Editor's Note: The Kansan Big 12 Power Rankings are voted on by Ryan Colaianni and Daniel Berk, Kansas men's basketball writers, as well as Eric Sorrentino, sports editor, and Erick R. Schmidt, associate sports editor.
Iowa State helped its own cause by smacking Colorado on Sunday in Ames, Iowa. The Cyclones boast one of the most explosive backcourts in the conference, and Curtis Stinson cemented that by going off for a triple-double against the Buffaloes. Stinson had 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists with only two turnovers. Three of the four voters had Iowa State at four, and the other voter had them at five.
The Big 12 pillow fight of the week between Baylor and Kansas State had the Bears knocking off Jim Woolridge's Wildcats in a match-up in Waco, Texas.

Screams of celebration on Sunday fill the Fieldhouse after Kansas' thriller victory against
Oklahoma took the lead back with less than 30 seconds to play with a three-point shot by Neal in the corner, but freshman guard Mario Chalmers responded quickly, driving into the lane on the other end and hitting a soft floater to give Kansas the lead for good.
Game
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
"I looked at coach, he was just saying push the ball up and that's what I tried to do," Chalmers said. "I got to the paint and Bookout fell, so I was just tried to take the shot and fortunately I hit the shot."
Self's actions after the game were evidence to the excitement of the game. The coach stood at the entrance to the tunnel to his team's locker room with his hand in the air, taking high-fives from each of his players. A joyous student section stood behind him, and his players high-fived the crowd on their way off the floor.
Down nine early in the first half, Kansas used a 10-0 run midway through the first half to get back in the game and take a one-point lead before going down three at halftime.
After five close losses earlier in the season, Kansas was happy to finally pull out a narrow win.
"It's a real big win, to finally get a close one, to prove some people wrong that we can get a win in a close game," Rush said.
The Jayhawks were lucky to be in the game after struggling to score early, missing open three-point shots and turning the ball over on early possessions.
Basketball notes:
Rush sets record
Rush overtook senior Christian Moody as the team's career-active points leader.
Home court advantage
The victory was Kansas' eight straight against Oklahoma in games played in Allen Fieldhouse.
Being 16 points down was the largest deficit Kansas has faced in a victory since the January 2005 game against Georgia Tech.

Key plays:
Freshman forward Julian Wright dunked a miss by freshman guard Brandon Rush with under a minute to play. It was the first KU lead since the first half.
Oklahoma junior guard Michael Neal caught the ball in the corner with one second left and put up a desperation shot for the victory. The attempt was short and gave Kansas a one point victory.
Kansas took the lead for the first time since the first half, Neal responded with a three-point shot from the right corner to put Oklahoma back up one.
Freshman guard Mario Chalmers responded to Neal's three-pointer and drove the length of the court to hit a soft floater. It would be the game winning basket.
Sophomore center CJ Giles fouled Oklahoma senior forward Taj Gray with one second left, but it was not a shooting foul. It took time off the clock and didn't allow Gray to score the potential winning basket.
Quotes:
"For 32 minutes, we played like freshmen and sophomores and they played like juniors and seniors," Kansas coach Bill Self said about Kansas beating a veteran team.
"He had a rough day, but still, good players make plays with the game on the line;" Self said about Chalmers' game-winning shot.
"He had to play, regardless of if he could see or not," Self said, about Rush being poked in the eye.

Cheers and jeers from the stands
Best gear: Guy on the north side of the student section with the shirt made out of the Jayhawks beach ball.
Sherron Collins was in attendance. He couldn't have come for a better game.
Best sign: "We love white Russians." Honorable mention to the students on the south side holding the letters: "Russell with the hustle."
Worst sign: The older guy in the student section every game. He has had the same "Dear Santa..." sign for the last seven games. Christmas was over a long time ago.
Cheers to freshman forward Julian Wright: He had the fanciest pass of the year, an over-the-shoulder, no-look pass to freshman guard Brandon Rush at the end of the first half. He also gave the Jayhawk faithful plenty to cheer about with his three timely, second-half monster dunks.
Cheers to Rush! He sparked the comeback by scoring 10 points in the final nine-and-a-half minutes. Rush's block and defense on Oklahoma guard Terrell Everett in the last minute sealed the game.
Cheers to freshan guard Mario Chalmers: His tear-drop winning shot about brought the roof off the fieldhouse.
Cheers to the fieldhouse crowd: Jajhawk nation must have been conserving energy for the first 10 minutes of the second half, but the comeback might not have happened without the deafening support from the crowd.

Close sweep for Kansas
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Freshman southpaw Nick Czyz (0-1) couldn't overcome a six-run third inning in the second game of a doubleheader against the University of Hawai'i-Hilo Saturday night. The loss was Czyz's first collegiate start and followed a 17-3 Kansas win in the day's first game.
Par for the weekend, Kansas jumped on the board first in the nightcap, but they weren't able
to hold the lead and sweep the five-game series
iVEGA series
"When you win the first four we had the chance to finish the deal and didn't get it done," Coach Ritch Price said about dropping the final game.
II"
"He was solid — absolutely solid. He was outstanding and is the most prepared guy to be our third starter."
"It took what could've been a great weekend and turned it into a good weekend."
But Hilo sent 11 batters to the plate and scored six runs in the third inning. This left the Jayhawks with a four-run deficit from which they could not recover.
Ritch Price Coach, in reference to Ricky Fairchild
Spawning from an wild pitch, Czyz allowed six runs off four hits before being lifted for junior right-hander Brendan McNamara to pick up the last out of the inning. Three more pitchers would follow in relief, allowing just two more runs.
"We started two freshmen pitchers this series," Price said. "Andy Marks started a little slow but our bullpen picked him up, and Nick Czyz actually threw well."
It was the explosive offenses
that stole the show this weekend. The Vulcans found a way in game five to stop an onslaught of Jayhawk bats that outscored them 53-17, and hit nine home runs in a five-game set. Right fielder Robby Mowers lead Hilo in its only victory, hitting 2-4, scoring twice and driving in a pair of runs.
"If we can continue to get that production one through nine all year, then guys that are hitting will pick each other up when other's aren't hitting," Price said. Senior first baseman Jared Schweitzer went 5-7 on the day
with a pair of RBI and runs scored. Price unloaded a 4-8 performance complete with six RBI.
But the newcomers led the Kansas 17-3 win in game one of the afternoon.
Freshman designated hitter Preston Land broke out in a big way in the fourth game of a five game series.
In the top of the second, Land hit his first collegiate home run, a three-run shot putting his team up 4-0 at the end of the inning. In the meantime, senior right-handed pitcher Ricky Fairchild (1-0) threw his first win in his first appearance as a Jayhawk, after transferring to Kansas from Tulane.
"He was solid — absolutely solid," Price said of Fairchild. "He was outstanding, and is the most prepared guy to be our third starter."
Kansas will head west again next weekend to take on Stanford in a three-game series.

Engineering student Don Claus is a member of that group. Instead of watching the game, he spent Sunday at the Spahr library, studying engineering circuits.
The Salt Lake City sophomore said he wasn't too upset about missing the game, but was jealous of his friends back home who didn't have to worry about homework.
Mark Darling, Leavenworth sophomore, had to work last year during the Super Bowl at an indoor pool in Fort Leavenworth.
He said things were slower than usual, and "it was just a lot of moms."
Working at a pizza place is a good way to guarantee that you'll be busy during the game. Little Caesars Pizza, 1410 Kasold Dr, store manager Kenny Campbell guessed that he sold 300 pizzas, and that was just during the pregame.?
He said that traffic peaked at about 4:30 p.m., when a lot of customers came in and expected to be able to buy large numbers of pizzas.
The store was cranking them out as fast as possible but at best could only make eight pizzas every 10 minutes.
Patrick Noble, a life-long Steelers fan, had a party at his place. He said that his guests were "going to be Steeler fans" by the time they left.
"My dad has been waving Terrible Towels around the house for years," said Noble, an Overland Park sophomore.
Of course, Noble couldn't resist the allure of Lawrence's big game, either, and was sitting in the student section at Allen Fieldhouse Sunday afternoon with a Kansas basketball jersey and a Steelers hat.
Two big games. One big day.

Pittsburgh Steelers' Troy Polamalu runs for a two-yard gain as Seattle Seahawks' Robbie Tobeck (61) and Chris Gray (62) defend during the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl XL football game Sunday in Detroit.
Steelers
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D
Pittsburgh tied San Francisco and Dallas with its five Super Bowl titles.
And the Steelers certainly got plenty of help from the Seahawks, too. Seattle was plagued by penalties, drops, poor clock management and a critical fourth-quarter interception of Matt Hasselbeck just when the NFC champions seemed ready to take the lead.
Instead, Pittsburgh (15-5) got the clinching score with the kind of trickery that has carried it through an eight-game winning streak.
Versatile wide receiver Antwaan Randle El, a quarterback in college, took a handoff from Parker, sprinted right and threw perfectly to Super Bowl MVP Hines Ward for a 43-yard TD with 9:04 remaining.
Bettis' role was minimal in what might be the final game for the NFL's No. 5 career rusher.
So was quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's impact — the most noteworthy play for the
youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl was a horrid pass that Kelly Herndon of the Seahawks (15-4) returned a record 76 yards.
That set up the Seahawks' only touchdown, a 16-yard pass to Jeremy Stevens — Joey Porter, his verbal sparring partner all week, was nowhere in sight. Neither was All-Pro safety Troy Palamalu.
Seattle, looking nothing like a team that rampaged through its conference, damaged itself all day. It had four penalties for 40 yards in the opening half, one that nullified a touchdown pass.
The second half wasn't much better, and Ike Taylor's 24-yard return with Hasselbeck's poor throw gave Pittsburgh the one last opportunity it needed.
"This is a tough pill to swallow." Holmgren said, "but we accomplished a lot this year. While you don't have a great feeling after a game like this, I want them to remember this feeling, so they can build on it."
What a journey it has been. The Steelers were 7-5, then
won their final four regular-season games to secure the AFC's last playoff spot. They went to Cincinnati and won a wild-card game. They won at Indianapolis, which had the league's best record. And then they handed Denver its first home loss in the AFC championship game.
And now they — and 73-year-old owner Dan Rooney — have their "One for the Thumb" — the first four came in their Steel Curtain days, won by the likes of Mean Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw and Franco Harris.
"I've been waiting a long time to do this," Cowher said to Rooney before handing him the Vince Lombardi Trophy. "This is yours, man."
Cowher had the Steelers in the Super Bowl in 1996 but they lost to Dallas.
But his Seahawks didn't give themselves much of a chance. By the end, the crowd was singing "Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go."
Who knows, maybe Jagger was singing along.

Kaylee Brown had a simple message for her teammates before Saturday's game against Iowa State:
On the eve of arguably the team's biggest game of the season, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson brought

in a motivational speaker to talk to her team. Friday night's meeting was one of several team meetings held in the past week to find a way to help restore confidence.
Whatever the speaker's message was, it certainly worked.
"You can't feel like you're on an island. You've really got to feel like you've got your teammates. It's not an individual sport."
Kansas snapped its three-game losing skid and appeared to regain the form that lead to its school record 12-0 start to the season. Henrickson said that the team meetings, with and without coaches, helped the team regain its confidence.

"You can't feel like you're on an island," Henrickson said. "You've really got to feel like you've got your teammates. It's not an individual sport."

Despite ranking near the bottom of the conference in several defensive categories, the Jayhawks have found a way to get crucial possessions at the end of the game.
Those key defensive stops should provide a needed shot of confidence to a team that had struggled defensively the past two weeks.

Senior guard Erica Hallman said the victory gave Kansas confidence going into Wednesday night's game at Oklahoma.
"Coming off the losses to Baylorang

Senior guard Erica Hallman looks to pass against Iowa State Saturday afternoon in Allen Fieldhouse. Hallman sank a three-point shot with five seconds left to seal the Jayhawks' 65-64 victory.

Shooting victim named
BY MIKE MOSTAFFA
mmostafa@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Lawrence Police Department released the name of the second victim in the Sunday morning shooting outside of the Granada.
The 22-year-old has been identified as Pierre Burnette of Kansas City, Kan., Police Chief Ron Olin said at a Monday morning press briefing. Burnette's condition remains unknown, as well as what hospital he was taken to. Olin said that
Burnette was able to respond to preliminary questions and that the department was planning a follow-up interview.
Police will have to rely heavily on the information Burnette provided because many of the main witnesses have failed to provide much information.
"It is very frustrating to know we have as many as a dozen witnesses in the community who are not talking to us." Olin said.
According to a written statement from Sgt. Dan Ward, a Lawrence police officer who
was nearby heard gun shots and notified the emergency dispatch. Five officers arrived at 2:12 a.m., minutes after the shots were fired, Ward said.
The shooting occurred after a rap concert at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. About two dozen people had gathered outside to determine the location of an after-hours party with some of the performing artists, when an altercation broke out between six people, Olin said.
Police said they thought they knew what caused the altercation
but declined to release details vet.
Police said they didn't know who shot and killed 46-year-old Robert Earl Williams of Topeka and seriously injured Burnette.
Information the police released Sunday about the suspect leaving the scene in a tan 1990s General Motors vehicle may not be accurate, Olin said.
While Sunday morning's shooting was the first Lawrence homicide of 2006, it was not the first time police have responded to a call of shots being fired downtown.
POLL RESULTS
After the shooting outside the Granada Sunday morning, how safe will you feel going out to the bars at night?
1. Just as safe as before: 53%, 36 votes
2. Somewhat as safe: 35%, 24 votes
3. Not nearly as safe: 12%, 8 votes

Women to lecture on politics
BY ANNE WELTMER
aweltmer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The United States has always had men in the office of commander in chief. But this coming election might change that.
For a complete schedule of speakers check out Kansan. com
It's only a matter of time before the United States has a woman chief executive, said Bill Lacy, director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. That's why the Dole Institute decided to dedicate this year's presidential lecture series to how a woman could become president.
The title of the lecture series is "The First Woman President" and features several prominent women, including Carol Mosley-Braun herself a presidential candidate.
Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, said it could happen in the next two and a half years. He said that Hillary Rodham Clinton had spent more time in public office than President George W. Bush, and she could probably get the democratic nomination.
Loomis said until recently, there have been few women senators and governors, who are the usual presidential candidates. Now that those numbers have increased, there is a larger base of eligible women.
He said Clinton had both the money and the name recognition to receive the nomination.
Ann Cudd, director of women's studies and professor of philosophy, said women had another obstacle to face. Many people have a problem accepting a woman as the commander in chief of the U.S. Armed Forces, she said.
Jonathan Earle, assistant director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, said that countries on every continent, including Chile, Pakistan, Great Britain, Israel, Germany and India, have had female heads of states.
Cuddd said that along with Clinton, Condoleezza Rice was another possibility to become the first woman president.
"I thought we were supposed to be a progressive country." Earle said. "We're kind of lagging behind here."

TECHNOLOGY
Lawrence hot with Wi-Fi spots
Among college towns, Lawrence is a wireless Internet user's dream. Lawrence ranked second in a nationwide directory of college towns with free wireless Internet.
MetroFreeFi.com lists 24 free Wi-Fi hotspots in Lawrence, second only to Boulder, Colo., which had 34. College towns were classified in the directory as having a population under 100,000. Lawrence is listed in the top 100 cities nationally. The listings are submitted by users, so the list is not all-inclusive of every site in Lawrence.
Lawrence's hotspots include cafes, libraries and even repair shops. Steve Aldrich, store manager at Gregg's Tires, 4661 W. 6th St., said the store got wireless Internet two years ago as a customer convenience, and now customers can keep working while their cars are being repaired.
"The people that come in and use it, love it," he said.
The service, provided by Sunflower Broadband, has always been free to customers, he said.
Joe Ryan, director of sales and support for Sunflower Broadband, said the company provided wireless Internet access to 36 registered hotspots in the Lawrence area. Businesses pay normal business rates, which begin at $44.95 a month. The company also provides free Internet service to city and government buildings, like the Lawrence Public Library and the Douglas County Courthouse.
Many businesses have enough bandwidth to support public access from the same signal as their office Internet. Ryan said. The only additional cost to those businesses is a one-time cost for networking, which can run from $150 to $500.
Ryan said the incremental cost of networking usually covered necessary upgrades. In return, the businesses increase their customer appeal.
Sarah Burns, manager at Java Break, 17 Seventh St., said the store had as many as five or six wireless users at a time. She said the benefit was wireless customers becoming regular customers.
"People come in for wireless one night and come in with friends to study another night," she said. "I'll see the same people over and over again."
Burns said the business benefitted because customers that spent more time in the shop tended to buy more. Anyone using wireless Internet at Java Break must purchase at least one item, she said.
Deris Hiller, communications director for MetroFreeFi.com, said that, although the Web site was user-built, the listings tended to correct themselves. He said the prominence of free wireless Internet in college communities was not surprising.
"College towns are a lot more wireless than equivalent towns," Hiller said. "The logical conclusion here is that college students are not willing to pay for wireless Internet."
Dan Morris, Tonganoxie junior, said he wouldn't pay for wireless Internet, but he liked what he got for free. The best part, he said, was that it got him out of the house.
"Sometimes a change of atmosphere is all you need to get the juices flowing again," he said.
At Henry's, 11 E. Eighth St., Morris used Internet definitions to supplement information given in his human anatomy textbook while answering questions for class on Saturday.
"I can just click it up on the Internet, do a little research and write a better response," he said.
And when he's done studying, or just ready for a break, distraction is only a click away.

TUESDAY top10
BY BEN SMITH
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Top 10 Places to sleep on campus:
1. Watson Library, fifth floor quiet zone. Wonderful for you, but distracting to those who study if you happen to be of the snoring persuasion.
2. Kansas Union, third floor common area. A bit louder than most places, but the chairs and couches can be divine for a snooze on the go.
3. Anschutz Library, lower levels. Secluded and quiet with a shortage of comfortable chairs, but always nice in a pinch.
4. Budig Hall, front entrance, side common area. Again, a shortage of chairs, but the floor is nice and carpeted, and large classes make for excellent wake up calls if your phone alarm is on the fritz.
5. Spahr Engineering Library. A bit out of the way for those non-engineering majors, but still there for those who like those really nice chairs and couches.
6. The green in front of Fraser Hall. A bit of a seasonal napping area, but nice on clear days when the wind is up from the gulf and the Frisbee players are out to add to the tranquility of your napping atmosphere.
7. Under the shade of the trees by Potter Lake. Again, a seasonal retreat, but still nice if you have someone nice who is willing to lend you a lap for a pillow.
8. Wescoe Hall, fourth floor. High traffic and no chairs, but there are some nice little niches created behind the benches built into the floors in front of classrooms.
9. The multimedia resource center, second floor of Stauffer-Flint Hall.A bit exclusive to journalism students if you ask this humble, sleeping giant, but still just as nice as any library you'll find in the campus directory.
10. On the bus. A bit shaky, a bit loud, a bit crowded at times but still it can be done by those of us who are suffering from extreme sleep deprivation. If you try hard enough you can even sleep standing up between the hours of 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. when the busses are jam packed. Careful of the sharp elbows and the sudden stops, sharp turns could lead to an injury or a rude awakening.
Good luck with your picks for places of slumber. Be sure to try not to miss your classes and always pop a Tic Tac afterwards to save everyone from your midday morning breath.
Third provost finalist visits

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Lariviere, who is in consideration for the office of provost, brings an eclectic background with his resumé. He is a professor of Sanskrit, an expert in Hindu personal law, which entitled him to testify in the circumcision case, and has been active in the business world.
Richard Lariviere is the only provost candidate who can boast serving as an expert witness in a wrongful circumcision case makes up part of his professional background.
Despite his forays outside of academia, education remains his first priority.
"I realized that if I had a great day as a business person I would have a little more money in my pocket, but I also realized that if I had a great day as a university person, some kid would get a better education, and they just don't

compare." he said.
When addressing the role of universities in research, he briefly referenced Thomas Friedman's "The World is Flat," the main topic of the speech given last week by Jack Burns, the second candidate for the provost position.
Lariviere said that universities faced greater pressure because of the decline of research in the major industries, but said he took a less dire view of the cutbacks' effect on university research.
"We are still so far ahead of the rest of the world that we're still safe and secure, but it's not a birthright," he said.
I think he has a good grasp of all of the issues of running a modern, large-scale research university."

Charles Decdeu Executive director, Higuchi Biosciences Center
Lariviere said that he took students seriously and valued their input, citing a student governing board he created in Texas as an example.
He said KU students seemed to have more input into daily decisions than students at most large public universities. It's something he would try to continue if he were to come to the University, he said.
Charles Decedue, executive director of the Higuchi Biosciences Center on West Campus, described Lariviere as a "very impressive candidate."
"I think he has a good grasp
of all of the issues of running a modern, large-scale research university." Decedue said.
The public address was part of the interview process to replace David Shulenburger, who is stepping down from the provost position after 13 years, effective this summer. Shulenburger will assume the position of vice president for academic affairs with the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges after he leaves the University.
The Provost Search Committee announced Lariviere, 56, as the third candidate last Thursday.
He is the current dean of the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Austin.
The fourth and final candidate, Karen Gould, will speak at 4 p.m. Thursday at the Dole Institute.

Karen L. Gould named final provost candidate
The fourth and final candidate in the provost search, Karen L. Gould, was announced Monday.

Initially, there were five candidates for the provost position, but one of the unannounced candidates withdrew.
Gould, 57, is the dean of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Cincinnati. She is also a professor of French and Francophone studies.
Gould will give a public presentation from 4 to 5 p.m. Thursday at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. It will be followed by a public reception.
Public talk to examine contrast in art, science
The Museum Studies Program will host a discussion panel concerning the differences and similarities between the arts and sciences. The panel will be held at 3:30 p.m. Feb. 15 at the Hall Center for the Humanities
The discussion will be moderated by Marjorie Swann, associate professor of English, and John Simmons, collection manager at the Natural History Museum, and will include seven other participants from various areas of study.
"I think that now more than ever we are the battleground of evolution," Swann said. "I think that Kansas in particular and students at the University of Kansas should be interested in the ways in which cultural ideas inform us in how we think of science."
The panel discussion, entitled "Art & Science: Two Cultures," is devoted to thinking about the different ways art and science view the world and will go along with the collection of works by artist Tracy Hicks on display through the end of February at the Hall Center.

STUDENT SENATE
Commission to begin work
By NICOLE KELLEY
nkelley@kansan.com
KANSAI STAFF WRITER
Slanderous comments and vicious accusations are things commonly heard during most election campaigns as candidates fight their way into power.
As Student Senate elections get closer, this year's Senate elections commission will form and begin meeting weekly to address issues of unethical behavior, to enforce rules and ensure that all candidates are treated fairly.
On Wednesday, the group will choose a commissioner who will oversee all commission operations. Jonathan Steele, elections commission chairman, said that the group would look at making changes to the election code. He said there would only be small changes this year because the system had proven to work well in enforcing the rules
and making sure that everyone gets a fair hearing.
Panel aims to maintain election's fairness, ethics
Jessica Sullivan, Westwood senior and member of this year's elections commission, said, "The most important thing is to have a good commissioner that will be able to be fair, not favor one side and stress that everyone should act civil towards each other."
During last spring's elections, the commission charged Student Voice with four election violations and KUnited with one. This lead to allegations of bias within the commission.
Dennis Chanay, Paola sophmore and last year's presidential candidate for Student Voice, said the members of the commission had too many close ties to the ruling power and was using them unjustly.
"It allowed them to be very selective with who they chose to come down on," Chanay said. "It was very vague. The election code is too open to interpretation, and their interpretation is based on who they liked and who they did not."
Steele said that this year the commission had a diverse collection of people who would be fair to all candidates.
"Our commission will be completely impartial to any coalition," he said. "Anyone who has a violation and comes before the commission will all be treated equally and all receive the same process."
Chanay said the reason the commission would continue to be biased was because its members were chosen by the "ruling power" within Student Senate. He said he would like to have the selections handled by a faculty member who has an interest in Student Senate.
Steele said he didn't expect there would be "any wild instances of outrageous fines" this year. He said the members of the commission would do what they thought was right concerning specific violations laid out in the Senate election code.
"Hopefully everyone will follow the rules and it won't get messy and hateful and spiteful," Steele said, "and we can just have a fair election about what the candidates consider pertinent issues."

New laws may stop funeral protests
NATION
COLUMBUS, Ohio — At least 14 states are rushing to pass bills to regulate protests at funerals.The quickly-moving legislation is a response to members of the Westboro Baptist church who protested at the funerals of soldiers, Marines and miners killed in the Sago Mine disaster. The church has about 75 members, most of them extended family of its pastor, the Rev. Fred Phelps. The members protested that God struck down the soldiers because they were fighting for a country with homosexuals and adulterers. "It's just inhuman for a group that says it's coming in the name of the Lord to protest a funeral," said state Delegate Jeff Eldridge, a co-sponsor of the West Virginia bill.

Thousands line up for King
BY ERRIN HAINES THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Thousands of mourners filed past the casket of Coretta Scott King on Monday, paying their respects to the "first lady of the civil rights movement" at the historic church where her husband shared his dream for racial equality in the 1960s.
People lined up for blocks outside Ebenezer Baptist Church, waiting for hours in freezing rain for a moment to bid farewell to the widow of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Across the street, an estimated 1,700 people filled the church's newer facility for a musical tribute, including Oprah Winfrey and other entertainers such as Gladvs Knight.
Winfrey laughed as she described persuading King to get a new hairdo on her TV show. And she became emotional
"For me, she embodied royalty. She was the queen." Winfrey said. "You knew she was a force."
when she told how King, in the week before her death, sent her a handmade quilt that her husband's mother had passed down.
"She leaves us all a better America than the America of her childhood." Winfrey said.
King, 78, died Jan. 30 at an alternative medicine clinic in Mexico, where doctors said she was battling advanced ovarian cancer. She also had been recovering from a stroke and heart attack.
As the service concluded, King's eldest daughter, Yolanda King, told the gathering, "I know it is the prayers of so many of you, and from all over the world, that carried her safely home. We knew firsthand the enduring power of love."
Inside the silent sanctuary, mourners filed slowly past the casket, some lingering a moment before moving on. Many walked away dabbing their eyes at the sight of King's body, which was dressed in a pink suit, with a shroud of flowers
blanketing the lower half of the casket. She lay directly below the pulpit where her husband preached from 1960 until 1968.
First in line was Jackie Treen,
51, who flew from Severn, Md.
to Atlanta just to see King's body.
"I'm an African-American woman married to a white man for 30 years," Treen said. "I have to be here. Martin and Coretta made it possible for me to have what I have."

▼ OUR OPINION
Encourage diversity; don't require it
The University of Missouri is offering an optional diversity class this semester and hopes to create a mandatory class on diversity for students. The University of Texas already has a mandatory diversity class.
Diversity is a good thing. Realizing that there are different types of people and then learning about and acknowledging that is something everyone should do. College is also a great time to do it because students are exposed to more people from more places than most of them will ever be again.
The class taught in Columbia is called "Experiencing Cultural Diversity in the United States." Now there's a broad subject area.
But forcing students to take a mandatory class isn't doing anyone a favor. First of all, diversity in general is such a broad subject. It is used so broadly that it has lost some of its meaning.
Looking at diversity by itself does no good. Diversity works best when applied to a specific subject. The University offers courses that do just that.
The word just means the fact of being different.
The School of Journalism offers a diversity in the media class. The School of Business offered a course in the past that dealt with the skills needed to address working with diverse groups in the business world.
There's a women's studies department and an African-American studies department in the college of liberal arts and sciences.
PAGE 5A
The University offers a range of services through the Multicultural Resource Center that address diversity. The center has a Diversity Training Institute that offers training to KU faculty and staff. There are Brown Bag Diversity Discussions at noon every Wednesday at
Issue: A mandatory class on general diversity.
Stance: A variety of voluntary classes works better.
the center. Every month there are Diversity Dialogues.
Any student interested can learn about diversity through programs or classes, and the classes are tailored to the needs and interests of the school or group involved. Also, every student getting a bachelors of arts must take a non-Western culture class
The programs the University has now — specific and voluntary courses — may not contain as many students as a mandatory class, but what they lack in quantity they make up for in quality. And that's the way it should stay.
But one course devoted exclusively to diversity wouldn't have the appeal or the practicality of programs the University already offers.
No one likes being told what classes to take. Making such a class mandatory would make some students resent the course. With a subject like diversity tossed around so much at universities, having students resent it is a step in the wrong direction.
Also, if every undergraduate had to take the class, it would be so large that students with real interest in diversity would be paired with indifferent students.
Another problem with the idea is forcing students to take the class makes diversity a drag, something they have to learn about, not something they get to learn about.

Wild salmon and other fresh fish can give you omega-3 fatty acids that are probably missing from your diet. Dry skin, fatigue, frequent colds and depression can all result from a lack of omega-3 fatty acids, partly because your brain is more than 60 percent fat.

Tomatoes, which have lycopene, help reduce the risk of prostate cancer. They also help increase the skin's sun protector. You should try to get processed tomatoes, such as ketchup and tomato sauces, in your body as well because they break down lycopene. Hey, it's an excuse to eat pizza.

It's pretty sad when the drive-thru employees at McDonald's get to know you on a first name basis. Although you may think you're saving money or time by speeding through the drive-thru, you can actually make healthy meals and snacks for less than what you pay for fast food.
My favorite book, "Superfoods Rx," by Steven Pratt and Kathy Matthews, lets you in on fourteen foods that are readily available, affordable and help increase your quality of life. Who knew that tea could play a role in preventing sunlight damage to the skin (wrinkles and skin cancer)? Not only that, but it's antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-cavity and anti-allergy.
Blueberries are an excellent source of antioxidants. One serving produces as many antioxidants as five servings of carrots, apples, broccoli or squash, according to Pratt and Matthews. You can buy them frozen or fresh. My favorite breakfast is 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 cup of water and 1 cup of blueberries mixed on the stove. Once the blueberries have warmed up, I mix in a little honey and top it off with a

President's speech should compel support
COMMENTARY
When America tuned in to watch President Bush give his annual State of the Union address on Jan. 31, most people expected the president to simply go through his usual agenda of the war on terror and his dreams of a peaceful future in Iraq. Bush's main objective, however, was a shocking goal that has caused an international uproar: To reduce our oil imports from the Middle East by 75 percent by the year 2025 and "make our dependence on Middle Eastern oil a thing of the past."
ALEXANDRIA MCDONALD
But, wait, wasn't that the only reason we were in Iraq? The whole point was to secure a strong economic future for the oil industry by conquering areas that could supply our country with oil for years to come. This was supposed to be a war for oil, and nothing else. At least, that's what protestors and skeptics have been labeling it as the war has dragged on. So why would Bush go through all the trouble of invading Iraq if he wanted to cut down on the use of oil?
According to Bush's
JACOB WITTLER
opinion@hansan.com
speech, his administration has been looking into alternative energy sources from the beginning. Since he took over in 2001, we have spent about $10 billion looking into alternative forms of energy, ranging from zero-emission coal plants to hydrogen-powered cars. In his address, Bush said that we were "on the threshold of incredible advances." He announced his Advanced Energy Initiative, through which he will expand his clean-energy research program by 22 percent. The program's first goal is to make new forms of ethanol powered cars competitive and available within six years.
So lets get back to the question at hand. If Bush has planned to cut down on oil dependence from the begin-
president since Nixon, according to The Kansas City Star. If he sticks by his words, all of that will change. Through his speech, the president has revealed that this is indeed not a war for oil. It is a war for those in need, and a war necessary to protect us from dangerous forces.
"In a time of testing, we cannot find security by abandoning our commitments and retreating within our borders." Bush said in his address. "There is a difference between responsible criticism that aims for success and defeatism that refuses to acknowledge anything but failure. Hindsight alone is not wisdom. And second-guessing is not a strategy."
ning, why would he invade Iraq in the first place? Could Bush really have gone into Iraq to combat terrorism and save the people of Iraq from an oppressive dictatorship? It seems to be a more and more likely possibility that the president's main impetus for going to war was the people, here and overseas, that he felt obligated to protect.
In his speech, the president talked a lot about America's constant battle against tyranny. He spoke about how we have constantly come to the aid of those in need and have fought for democracy around the globe. This constant involvement has always been controversial, and we have taken our fair share of worldwide criticism for it. As Bush stated in his address, "In a complex and challenging time, the road of isolationism and protectionism may seem broad and inviting, yet it ends in danger and decline."
When the president presented these issues to the nation, his approval ratings were the lowest of any second term
We should stand united behind our president, and place our faith in him that he will finish what he started following the attacks of 9/11. We must do that, or else everything we have accomplished up until now will have been in vain.

The University is a participant in the 2006 monologues The performances here on campus will be at 7 p.m. on Feb. 9 to 11, in Alderson Auditorium of the Kansas Union. The 2006 KU production is student directed, crewed and acted, involving participation by women of all majors, years in school, religions, sexual orientations and propensities for dark chocolate.
The goal of these monologues is not only to entertain the public with their blatant honesty and humorous narrations, but additionally to educate the public on pertinent women's issues.
Some performers expressed their anxieties about how the monologues were viewed by the community. Lauren Bornstein, a Vagina
monologue performer, said she was concerned about some of the stereotypes that people often tack on to the Vagina monologues.
"I'd be nice for people to come and see this without thinking, 'Damn feminist,' or making some sexist comment about women," Bornstein said.
"I don't understand what educating people on the vagina has to do with being gay or a feminist. It seems like women who open their mouths are considered a danger. So with the vagina monologues, we're opening our mouths wide to let everyone know how wonderful it was to do this and how much they have to learn."
Bornstein's statement is a reminder to never judge or assume anything until first having a complete understanding and an actual encounter with the topic. As students, we must always remember to be open-minded and not to make assumptions.
The Vagina monologues are intended to educate the audience on world issues relevant to women while engaging the viewer. Whatever our sexual orientation, genetic color pigment, genital endowment or opinion of "Brokeback Mountain," keeping ourselves informed of worldly issues is important. Additionally, enjoying an evening of entertainment is also a perk.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2006
BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Past performance predicts tournament odds
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
rschneider@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIETER
Editor's note: Ryan Schneider ranks the Big 12 Conference.
1. Oklahoma (19-4, 9-0 Big 12)
best victory: At N. Baylor, 73-70
worst loss: At Illinois, 86-75
Tournament chance: .Jhe. Soon
tournament chances:
ers are a lock for the NCAA tournament,
currently siting atop the Big 12. Oklahoma has rolled through conference play, defeating conference opponents by nearly 20 points per contest. If the Sooners can carry the momentum, they have an opportunity to dance their way to the Final Four.
2 Baylor (16-4 6-3 Big 12)
Best victory: No. 8 Georgia, 84-72
Worst loss: At No. 3 LSU, 88-57
QU
Tournament chances: Barring a collapse by Oklahoma, Baylor has no chance of winning the Big 12. Despite the rout at LSU, the Bears are still ranked in the top 10 and should be considered a threat to defend their national title.
3. Texas A&M (17-5, 1-3 Big 12)
Best victory: Missouri, 72-52
Worst loss: At Hawaii, 68-66
Tournament chances: Texas A&M coach Gary Blair and his team appear primed for the tournament.
The Aggies have two tournament resumes builders ahead next week against Oklahoma and Baylor. If Texas A&M can win either of those two games, look for it to be a tournament lock.
4. Missouri (16-5, 6-3 Big 12)
Best victory. No. 4 Baylor. 64-61
Worst loss. At Arkansas State 70-67
Tournament chances. Missouri might be the Big 12's most surprising team this season. The Tigers were
picked to finish seventh in the Big 12 Prescason coaches poll, yet they appear ready to lock up a top five
5. Kansas State (16-
5, 6-4 Big 12)
best victory: Louisiana Tech, 77-66
C
Worst loss: St. Joseph's, 78-68
Tournament chances: Despite sitting at fifth in the conference, Kansas State coach Deb Patterson and her team still lack a signature victory this season. The Wildcats have a chance to greatly improve their tournament seed, with their last two home games coming against Oklahoma and Baylor. Right now, a winning conference record should get them in the tournament for the fifth straight season.
6. Texas (12-8, 6-4 Big 12)
6. Texas (12-0, 4-8) IG
Best victory: No. 24 Missouri, 63-54
Worst loss: At Kansas, 70-61
Tournament chances: Texas has
dropped numerous opportunities this season to get quality victories
against ranked teams. The Long-horns' 1-5 mark against ranked teams won't sit well with the tournament selection committee. They could be a bubble team in March. 7.Texas Tech (10-10, 5-4 Big 12) Best victory: No. 5 Baylor, 64-62 Worst loss: At Mississippi, 72-69 Tournament chances: If the tournament began today, the Red Raiders would find themselves out of the field of 64 for the first time in 16 years. Texas Tech must find a way to get above .500 to even be considered a bubble team
8. Nobraska (12-8, 4-5 Big 12)
Best victory: Kansas, 73-61
Worst loss: South Dakota State, 68-49
Tournament chances: If the Cornhuskers can keep their overall
record above .500, the team will make a third appearance in the WNIT. Nebraska might be the conference's most disappointing team; they were picked to finish fifth in a coaches' preseason poll.
9. Kansas (14-6, 3-6 Big 12)
Best victory: No. 23 Texas, 70-61
Worst loss: At Colorado, 74-65
Tournament chances: Kansas' razorthi tournament hopes rest on its
two games
— road games
against Oklahoma
and Missouri.
If Kansas fails to
make the toura-
KU
ment, coach Bonnie Henrickson can point to two losses to Colorado as the reason. It is more likely the Jayhawks will make their first WNIT appearance since 1991.
10. Iowa State (12-8, 3-6 Big 12)
Best victory: Nebraska, 79-57
Worst loss: C. State, 81-59
Tournament chances: Iowa State appears headed for its first trip to the WNIT since the 2004 season. An ankle injury to junior guard Lindsey Medders forced the team's leading scorer out of the last two games. 11 Colorado (7-15, 2-8 Big 12)
Best victory: Kansas, 74-65
Worst loss: Texas, 69-64
Tournament chances: Colorado has struggled mightily under first year coach Kathy McConnell-Miller. The Buffaloes are on track for their second season near the bottom.
12. Oklahoma State (6-15, 0-10 Big 12)
Best victory: Memphis, 91-42
Worst loss: At No. 5 Baylor, 57-26
Tournament chances: Oklahoma State has been building for the future since the beginning of the season.
First year coach Kurt Budke leads one of the nation's youngest teams. The Cowgirls appear headed toward being winless in conference play.

Thank you for purchasing Collage Success: Improving Your Class Focus.
This tape will help you in enhancing your skills in paying attention in your lecture classes.
Please relax and don't mind use putting mind changing subliminal messages in your head.
Sam Hemphill/KANSAN
ARIES (March 21-April 19) *****
Your creativity works overtime as you come up with answers and ideas for any issue or hassle you come across.
Meetings and groups of people prove to be unusually lucky. Let others toss their ideas into your hat.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ***
Consider what works regarding others. Good planning and sensitivity can win you friends and new opportunities. If you are part of the work force, you certainly can make your mark.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) *****
You are happy no matter what you are doing. Some of you might play hooky and on a day trip. Meeting people happens with ease. Don’t hesitate to ask for what you want. Others will bend over backward for you today.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ****
It might be hard to keep good news
hush-hush. Much goes on with a
special partnership or relationship.
Be sure you understand this person.
You don't want a problem later. Know
when to say no.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ******
You have much to smile about,
whether you know it or not. Stop,
and instead of complaining, think
positively. Others will go out of their
way to help you. Don't worry. Simply
flow with the many special people in your life. Groups and meetings point to success.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) *****
Read Taurus' message and consider how it might apply to you. You will need to take the high road in order to maximize your success and abilities. Openly greet unusual ideas and people. New doors will be opened.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★
Use your creativity to add to the many different facets of your life. You laugh, and others simply smile and enjoy. Use your innate relating skills to your advantage. Others respond positively. Detach in order to get the whole picture.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) * * *
Focus on your projects rather than daydream away. A key partnership or relationship starts heading toward better days. You could make a big difference in this person's life. What is happening is mutual.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ******
Someone's words bring a smile to your face. Make an extra effort with those you come into contact with. If you find your feelings overwhelming, you might need to start talking rather than hold them in.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ******
You might want to think a problem through more carefully. Use that well-recognized Capricorn practical sixth sense. Solutions will appear as a result, especially if you are willing to take a risk.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ******
Mix inspiration and imagination. Delightful results head your way as your innate gifts emerge. A relationship could heat up out of the blue. You are starry-eyed, and for good reason.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ****
Your instincts serve you well with a real estate investment or a domestic matter. You know what to do to get the results you want. Be grateful for an offer, even if you don't like it.

▼ 'HORN BORN, 'HAWK BRED
Crowd spurs team to win
Forget Hines Ward. The real MVP on Super Bowl Sunday was the Allen Fieldhouse crowd.
Kansas and Oklahoma felt the power of the crowd's electricity in the game's final 7 and a half minutes. It recharged the Jayhawks and shocked the Sooners.
Oklahoma senior forward Kevin Bookout said the crowd especially helped Kansas in the last 7 or 8 minutes of the game.
"Their younger guys got really energized by that and got rolling," Bookout said.
Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson also said that his team just could not handle the crowd.
The game changed with freshman guard Brandon Rush's three-point basket at the 7:31 mark. The fans' wind was knocked out of them one possession earlier when Oklahoma missed three straight shots, grabbed three offensive rebounds and hit a three-point shot to take a 53-38 lead.
Kansas students sat down with their heads in their hands after that frustrating possession, but not one left the fieldhouse. They knew a comeback was possible, but needed something to give them a second wind.
Then, Rush got open and hit the shot. That was all it took. The students could sense what was about to happen, and the noise level stayed high the rest of the game. They jumped up and down and screamed and gave each other high fives and hugs after every break Kansas received.
1
Oklahoma proceeded to commit four turnovers and miss 13 of its next 15 shots. Kansas took advantage of the crowd's intensity and won by one point.
TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
Allen Fieldhouse is known for its immense home court advantage, thanks to noisy, but knowledgeable fans.
I've seen some great crowds since I came to Kansas in the fall of 2003, but Sunday's was the best — better than Michigan State in 2003 and Georgia Tech and Oklahoma State last season.
Kansas was not only playing for respect, but for the Big 12 title. With the victory, Kansas stayed within one game of Texas and pushed Oklahoma another game down in the standings. If Kansas wins the rest of this season, it could earn a sixth conference championship.
A victory came with so many good things for the Jayhawks. A loss would have put them back in the same inconsistent position KU fans have seen them in all year. No wonder the crowd gave 110 percent.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Rush again receives Rookie of the Week
For the second week in a row, the Phillips 66 Big 12 Rookie of the week is a Kansas men's basketball player.
Garnering the honor for last week's performances was freshman guard Brandon Rush.
Freshman guard Mario Chalmers was the previous
week's winner.
Rush's victory is his second of the season. He averaged 21 points and seven rebounds last week. Rush will join former players Jeff Boschee and Nick Collison as the only other Jayhawks to win Rookie of Week twice in one season.
This is also the first time Kansas received three Rookie of the Week awards in one season.

Big 12 South teams prove inept in fieldhouse
W when Oklahoma guard Michael Neal missed the potential game-winning shot Sunday afternoon, he did more than secure a victory for the Kansas basketball team.
He also secured Kansas' perfect all-time record against Big 12 South teams in Allen Fieldhouse, which has reached 29 games.
The victory also marked the eighth straight time Kansas has beaten Oklahoma in Lawrence and kept coach Kelvin Sampson winless in the fieldhouse.
Kansas coach Bill Self said during Monday's Big 12 coaches teleconference that the crowd played a large part in Kansas' comeback.
"Whether you're playing Northern Colorado or Oklahoma, you're going to have a full house," Self said. "It can get quite loud. They hung in there Sunday and helped us win the game."
Since Self arrived at Kansas three seasons ago, Kansas has lost just two home games to league opponents — one last season to Iowa State and the other this season to Kansas State.
The crowd was instrumental in Kansas' comeback Sunday and forced Sampson to call multiple timeouts late in the second half. After freshman guard Mario Chalmers drove to the basket and hit a shot that cut the lead to four, Sampson called his second-to-last timeout.
The crowd continued to get louder.
Oklahoma forward Kevin Bookout said he thought the crowd played a factor in the outcome of the game as well.
"This arena has a lot of history, but it can't play against you," Bookout said. "The crowd can only do so much. It was loud, right up there with Gallagher Iba Arena, but they got into it there in the last seven or eight minutes, and I thought that helped them out."
By its standards, Kansas had struggled at home this season, losing its second game in the fieldhouse to Kansas State after suffering a 2-point loss to Nevada in December. If Oklahoma would have beaten Kansas, it would have marked the first
time since the 1998-1999 season that Kansas lost three home games in a season.
"We've lost some close, tough games at home," Self said. "Certainly it wasn't because the fans didn't do their job."
In Self's four losses in Allen Fieldhouse over the past three seasons, the 4-point loss to Kansas State was by the largest margin. The others came against Richmond, which was a 1-point loss, and against Iowa State and Nevada, both 2-point losses.
The victory against Oklahoma also secured Kansas' 23rd straight season of winning at least 10 games in Allen Fieldhouse.

Big 12 rocky on road
Jayhawks, 0-4 on the road to face Sooners. Tigers
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
mphillips@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
In Big 12 Conference women's basketball, there is no place like home.
Kansas will hit the road this week for a game against No. 9 Oklahoma Wednesday and one against Missouri on Saturday.
Across the conference this season, the road team has won only 20 of 56 league games.
They will enter both games as the underdog.
"Everybody's got to play on the road in this league, and we've got to find a way to win," she said.
Earlier this season, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson called the conference a "dogfight."
That will be especially hard to do in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma is led by freshman forward Courtney Paris, who was named to the midseason list of 20 candidates for the Wooden award, given to the best player in the country.
The Sooners have emerged as the team to beat in the Big 12 with an undefeated 9-0 record.
Paris is featured in this week's Sports Illustrated along with her twin sister, Ashley, who also plays for the Sooners.
"Everyone is going to write about and talk about Courtney, and rightly so," Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said after Saturday's victory against Missouri. "I'd write about her a lot, too."
The team has been averaging 6,394 fans a game, compared to the Jayhawks' average of 2.808.
Oklahoma has almost sold out its 12,000-seat arena for Saturday's game against defending national champion Baylor.
Oklahoma will enjoy a particularly large home-court advantage.
The Tigers are the secondhottest team in the conference behind Oklahoma, winning seven of their last 10.
From Norman, Okla., Kansas will travel to Columbia, Mo., for a Saturday afternoon game against archrival Missouri.
Defense has been the Tigers' strength.
They have held opponents
to 38 percent shooting this season.
That victory helped the team break a three-game losing streak, but Henrickson acknowledged it wouldn't mean anything Wednesday night against Oklahoma.
After chiding her team for a lack of intensity in a 77-71 home loss to Colorado last Wednesday, Henrickson was impressed with the Jayhawks' effort in a 65-64 victory against Iowa State last Saturday.
It will be an interesting match-up for Kansas, which has won games with offense and tried to play catch-up on defense.
"You just don't have a lot of time to be excited," she said. "You have to have a shortterm memory."
The list of 36 candidates includes two former Kansas players, guard Tamecka Dixon and guard/forward Lynn Pride.

Jayhawks frustrated with rankings snub
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolatianni@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SWITCHER
Coming off of five straight victories and winning 12 of its past 14 games, Kansas is a little disappointed with its lack of national publicity.
The Jayhawks were once again omitted from the latest Associated Press poll, released Monday and have yet to be ranked this season.
The Jayhawks received 88 votes in the poll, two spots outside of the top 25.
Kansas coach Bill Self said after the victory Sunday that he would have been surprised if his team entered the rankings. The team is just starting to get respect nationally, he said, even though it has won 12 of its last 14.
Following Kansas' one-point victory against Oklahoma on Sunday, freshman guard Brandon Rush said he expected the team to be ranked this week. But rankings are not all that matter, he said, because it is "just a number in front of a team."
Rush averaged 21-points a game last week and was named Big 12 Newcomer of the week for his play against Oklahoma and Texas Tech. It was the second time this season that Rush has received the award. Last week, freshman guard Mario
Chalmers was named Newcomer of the week. Rush leads all Big 12 freshmen in scoring, averaging 14.8 points per game.
Despite Rush's efforts and the victory against a ranked Oklahoma team, the Jayhawks couldn't crack the rankings. The team in some ways has been playing underneath the radar for the majority of this season. Self said.
The victory put Kansas in sole possession of second place in the Big 12 conference and just a game behind Texas. Texas and Kansas will meet in Austin, Texas, later this month.
Sophomore center CJ Giles said he thought the victory against the Sooners earned the team respect.
"We have a lot more big games to play." Giles said. "We just need to focus on our next couple of games."
"We are in the game. These next eight days will probably determine if we are in the game down the stretch," Self said.
Kansas will have two rematches with teams that it had beat already this season when it faces Nebraska Wednesday in Lincoln, Neb. and Iowa State on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. If Kansas can win both those games it may enter the top 25 next week for the first time all season.

Anti-abortion amendment added to bill
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
idavis@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
The Kansas House of Representatives added a surprise anti-abortion amendment to a bill heavily endorsed by the University of Kansas on Tuesday. Intended to focus on changing who purchases health insurance plans for college students, the bill now carries the weight of whether state dollars should pay for abortions.
Introduced Jan. 11, the bill would provide the six Board of Regents' schools with better health insurance coverage for students, graduate teaching assistants and graduate research assistants. The Regents would assume purchasing power of health insurance plans for the different schools — allowing each university to choose an insurance program that fits its specific needs.
Representatives will vote on the bill — HB 2593 — today.
The amendment was introduced by Rep. Richard Kelsey (R-Goddard), who thinks that state dollars shouldn't pay for abortions. With the amendment, the bill would not allow students' insurance to cover the cost of an abortion.
Rep. Annie Kuether (D-Topeka) said the bill would have passed easily in the House had the anti-abortion amendment not been added. The amendment to the bill passed Tuesday, 72 to 50.

Bud's little shop of honors
Leonard Monroe points out photos of former KU athletes who had recieved haircuts at Bud's Barber Shop on Michigan St. The barbershop, owned by Leonard's brother, Waldo "Bud" Monroe, was one of the only places in Lawrence where African-Americans could get haircuts in the 1960s.

The tiny seafoam-green building with chipping paint and no electricity behind Anderson Rentals on Sixth and Michigan streets doesn't look like much, but it was an important hangout for many talented University of Kansas African-American athletes, starting in the 1950s.
Though he died seven years ago, Waldo "Bud" Monroe and his famous little barbershop, Bud's Barbershop, live on in the memories of many former athletes, coaches, and faculty at the University of Kansas.
"He was extremely important to a country boy like me coming in from Wichita," said Curtis McClinton, former KU football player and Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Famer. "He offered a home and a family and a place to relax."
Bud's Barber Shop was the hangout and one of the only hair cuts available to African-American athletes at the University. Bud's was filled from floor to ceiling with autographed pictures of his famous customers and friends, including Wilt Chamberlain, Curtis McClinton, and many Crimson Girls, even though he only cut men's hair. Cham-
berlain's picture is now in storage, but the rest of them remain lining the walls floor to ceiling.
"His barbershop was an institution and monument to all
the actors at the University of Kansas," McClinton said. Bud was an admirer of all his clients and athletes, he said.

Ex-candidate gives lecture

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The United States is part of a "worldwide transformation of status of women" that is "nothing short of a revolution," Carol Moseley-Braun told a crowd of about 500 at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics Tuesday night.
Moseley-Braun, the first speaker in the 2006 Presidential Lecture Series titled "The First Woman President," said that during her campaign for the Democratic nomination in the 2004 presidential primaries the American public was receptive to the idea of a woman president. The hardest crowd to win over was the politicians, according to Moseley-Braun.
It was the American public, she said, that advanced her
cause and helped the United States progress toward being a more democratic country. She said television stations would cut her off during interviews and give her male counterparts more time, until angry callers convinced them to treat her equally.
She said that for a country usually seen as progressive, the United States should have more women in political office.
"If we can't do it here, we can't export it around the world," Moseley-Braun said.
Besides overcoming the obstacle of little publicity, Moseley-Braun said that she had to play the game of "campaign calculus," or mastery of the mechanics of campaigns, the most important of which is fund raising.

Odd job delivers more than expected
BY MIKE MOSTAFFA
mmostaffa@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
One night Adam Bowles, 19-year-old Lawrence resident, walked cautiously towards the door of a poorly lit apartment. What he thought would be a routine delivery turned out to be anything but that.
For delivery drivers Adam Bowles and Brian Crawford, naked customers, killer dogs and the occasional fivesome is all part of the job. As both men will tell you, always expect the unexpected.
Bowles said he was about 15 feet from the door when a snarling pit bull lunged at him. The dog
was just inches away from taking a chunk from his face but it was yanked back by a chain secured to a nearby pole, he said.
Jeff Morris, manager of Pizza Shuttle, 1601 W. 23rd St., for almost 20 years, said violence and robberies have occurred against delivery drivers in the past, but only in the last couple years have these
Bowles, who is now a manager at Jimmy John's, 1447 W. 23rd St. said that during his six-month stint as a delivery driver, aside from the pit bull scare, he never worried about safety while on the job.
"But just in case I keep a small tee-ball bat in my trunk," he said.
Once during a delivery near 12th and Tennessee streets the customer invited Bowles inside to meet four girls who were waiting for him in a bedroom upstairs. Bowles was flattered, but because he was engaged to be married, he declined. Bowles said that he was invited to come inside most of the parties where he

"A lot of times I've been asked if I want a tip or some beer," Bowles said.
During a delivery to an apartment located near 26th and Iowa Streets, Crawford was greeted by a naked man standing by his friend who had ordered the pizza.

Rec center to bulk up soon
BY NICOLE KELLEY
nkelley@kansan.com
KANKSAN STAFF WRITE
Waiting in line for a weightlifting machine or fighting over a basketball court may soon not be a problem for those who want to work out at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center.
Planning for phase two of the building project has begun. It will involve expanding the building to the north by about 50,000 square feet to house four new basketball courts, two racquetball courts, an aerobics room, a martial arts room and expansions to the track and free weight sections.
"The recreation center right now is at its max capacity and is growing more and more," said Marynell Jones, student body vice president.
Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, said that when the recreation center was first built, recreation services knew it was too small and had always planned to add an expansion. She said she just wasn't expecting it to happen so soon.
She said when planning started in Fall 2005, recreation services tried to pay close attention to the recommendations students were leaving in the suggestion boxes about what areas needed to be improved.
"It opened up a lot fun ways to plan and think about what we need to increase," Chappell said.
Todd Kitchens, Emporia senior, said it was frustrating at times when he'd been at the recreation center for more than hour and still been able
play only one game on the crowded basketball courts.
"We're tired of volleyball and badminton taking up the courts," Kitchens said. "I hate coming down here and only having one court."
The Ebert Mayo Design Group, which also designed the first phase three years ago, will design the expansion. Jones said a bid for the construction contract would go out in a few months. She said construction may begin in September 2006.
The expansion will cost about $6.3 million. Funding for the project came from ticket sales of about 1,500 seats at Allen Fieldhouse that were specifically set aside by the Athletics Department for the project.
During the planning process, a committee has been working with representatives of the residential neighborhood that is located next to the recreation center. The University has an agreement with the city of Lawrence to include neighborhoods within a certain proximity into the planning process of any new buildings on campus.
"We wanted to make sure the people who lived there were going to be happy with the building we put up." Jones said.
Chappell said no changes would be made to the facade, to make the expansion as seamless as possible. She said planners had considered increases in noise, lights and traffic to the area when working with the neighborhood, but she thought so far they had done a good job so far

Jonathan "Jon" Foster, University of Kansas math graduate teaching assistant, died Monday.
He was found at home. The circumstances behind the 26-year-old's death are unknown.
Last fall, he taught Math 115 at the University; this semester he taught Math 116.
Annika Denkert, a math graduate teaching assistant, worked closely with Foster. She had classes with him and they
were in two study groups together.
"This is very unexpected for all of us," Denkert said. "We never suspected anything, whatever the
cause may be."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said he wanted to express his sorrow on behalf of the entire University community and offer condolences to his family and friends.
This was Foster's first year as a graduate student at the University. He earned his bachelor's degree from the University of
Virginia and his master's from San Diego State University.
"We are all deeply saddened at the sudden loss of this very talented young man who had quickly demonstrated great promise and ability in the short time he was here at KU," he said.
Foster was also part of a Topology Seminar with a few other faculty members, including Jack Porter, mathematics department chairman. Porter said he was surprised by Foster's death.
"He was a very promising student with talent and ability," he said. "He was doing very well in his classes."

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Last semester, the Student Recreation Fitness Center increased its hours as a result of changes put in place by KUNited after its victory in the 2005 Student Senate elections. But after a short trial period, Recreation Services has abandoned the idea and decided to return to its regular shorter hours.
"I think that there are a lot of great ideas that just don't work for KU, and that may have been one of them," said Marynell Jones, student body vice president. "I think we gave it a good shot."
Mary Chappell, director of Recreation Services, said the dwindling number of students working out after midnight, combined with the difficulty custodians had with little closed time, didn't justify the extra money they were spending to stay open late.
The current recreation center hours are 5:30 a.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday, 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to midnight on Sunday.

Saul's poetry slam packs house
BY DJEJUAN ATWAY
datway@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Student Union Activities organized the event, entitled "An Evening of Spoken Word with Saul Williams."
Williams read poems from his collections and answered questions from the audience. His charisma and humor captivated the audience. Armed with only poetry and an infectious delivery style, he delivered work ranging from emotional pieces to long poems with turns and twists.
Williams' style of writing has opened many doors for the New York native. He has written three poetry collections, starred in the independent film "Slam," made appearances on the television show "Girlfriends" and has recorded with Erykah Badu, De La Soul and KRS-ONE.
Williams said the country was in a "state of emergency," and warned those in attendance to be leery toward

people with power in the government.
He broke down and wiped tears from his eyes after reading a poem about a depressing moment in his life.
Williams' strongest message of the night was to urge people to "follow your dreams and find your own voice," and not to be bothered by the "subtle bullshit that we all learn from our parents."
The audience sent Williams off the stage the same way he entered: with a standing ovation.
Ben Porter, Olathe sophomore, said that he was required to attend a poetry performance by an instructor, and he thought he made the right decision.
"He was great," Porter said. "I don't even know much about poetry, but I know he was definitely worth coming out to see."
Jenny Kratz, social issues coordinator for SUA, said she knew many tickets were sold for the event, but even she was surprised by turnout.
"We had to turn away people and still were probably over fire code," she said.

Refugees face eviction from hotel rooms despite protests
BY RUKMINI CALLIMACHI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Hauling everything he owned in a plastic garbage bag, Darryl Travis walked out of the chandeliered lobby of the Crowne Plaza, joining the exodus of Hurricane Katrina refugees evicted from their hotel rooms across the country Tuesday.
The occupants of more than 4,500 government-paid hotel rooms were ordered to turn in their keys Tuesday, as the Federal Emergency Management Agency began cutting off money to pay for their stays.
Far more people — the occupants of at least 20,000 hotel rooms, many of which housed entire families — were given extensions by FEMA until at least
next week and possibly until March 1, said FEMA spokesman Butch Kinerney.

"We've bent over backward to reach out. We've gone door-to-door to all of the 25,000 hotel rooms no fewer than six times. There are people who have run when they saw us coming —
those are the ones that are now moving on," Kinerney said.
FEMA maintains that as many as 80 percent of those being forced to check out this week have made other living arrangements, ranging from trailers to receiving federal rent assistance to living with relatives.
ing, several said they were now homeless.
Travis, 24, and his five childhood friends — all in their 20s — had been living on the floor of another evacuee's hotel room, never having registered.
"All I got is a couple pairs of pants and some shirts. The pressure is on," said Jonathan Gautier, 26, one of the six, who was also carrying a single plastic bag
filled with clothes.
Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco complained that FEMA was pulling the plug on the hotel program before securing other housing.
Brittany Brown, 21, wept as she explained that although she had been given an extension, eviction was now looming next week. She applied for a trailer in October and, although she keeps calling, her trailer has yet to show up.

Speaker CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Moseley-Braun said that nontraditional candidates, such as women and minorities, always have a problem raising enough money to keep their campaigns going. She said it was a lack of money that caused both her and Elizabeth Dole to fade away in 2000. She said she was just as qualified, confident and well-prepared for the presidency as any of the men running.
"The role of money in campaigns is a modern-day civil rights imperative," she said.
She ended her speech with a call to action for every person in the room. She said that no matter how
each person was involved everyone would be working toward "forming a more perfect union" by advocating the election of the first woman president.
Rep. Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence), associate director of the Dole Institute, said she was pleased there were a lot of students, but more specifically minority students attending. The room was so full that workers had to open the Simons Media Room to accommodate the extra crowd, who watched on closed-circuit television.
"I'm glad I came," said Kelly Dvorak, Overland Park freshman. "I had no idea a woman had ever run for president."

Barbershop CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The building itself holds an invaluable collection of KU athletics history, but it was the atmosphere of the barbershop in its heyday that really made the place special.
The Monroe family, including Bud's uncle, father and brothers, Raymond and Leonard, built Bud's Barbershop by themselves behind his home at 532 Michigan Street in the mid-1950s.
"He was the guy who knew every hair on my head," McClinton said. He said Bud was a good listener, and the shop was a place where he could go and "have a good black cup of coffee directly from the pot of the black community."
"A black man couldn't get a decent job besides construction," Leonard said. That's why they built the barbershop.
"Bud only cut men's hair," said Walda Monroe, Bud's daughter. "He absolutely wouldn't touch our hair."
Bud's shop was a place for young men to come and socialize.
She said she didn't hang out in the barbershop much, nor did she see her father often.
"My dad worked around the clock," she said. "We didn't cross paths much. He would come home from work and eat breakfast and go to work in the barbershop."
Bud led a busy life. He was born and raised in Lawrence. Shortly after graduating from Liberty Memorial High School, he took a job as a turnkey at the Douglas County Jail and worked his way up to the rank of lieutenant at the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
During World War II, he served in the Seabees, a division of the U.S. Navy. He worked in Washington welding ships because a hernia wouldn't allow him to fight. He joined the KU Public Safety Office in 1965, working as a patrol officer, and then a sergeant and lieutenant. He was with the office for 21 years before his retirement in 1986, and continued to work security at KU basketball games at the request of former Athletics Director Bob Frederick.
Bud went to all of the games,
Frederick said. Afterward, Bud
would stay from midnight to 6
a.m. and work security.
He owned the small barbershop behind his home throughout his carer as a law enforcement officer.
Bud has been gone since 1999, and Walda is thinking about her options with the barbershop. She still lives in the house just behind it.
The Waldo "Bud" Monroe Police Command Center now stands as a small tribute to the many lives he touched at the University.
She said houses used to surround the shop before companies came in and bought them to build stores. She said Bud would never sell the place. He built it with his own hands and he liked it there. Now the store sits closed and the old pictures collect dust.
Shortly after his death in 1999, Bob Frederick and Roy Williams pushed to get the Memorial Stadium police center named after him.
Paint by numbers
"It needs a lot of work," she said. "I'm thinking of flattening it out."
"He was a great person and a great friend to many of our African-American athletes over the years," Frederick said.

It's true. There is more to life than peace, love and wings. There are burgers too.
Every Monday and men's basketball game day, you can get one of Jefferson's infamous burgers and fries for only $4.50.
We all know Jefferson's serves wings,but their burgers are the best in Lawrence. For the last four years, Jefferson's has won the Top of the Hill Award for "Best Burger."
Jason Franklin, the owner of Jefferson's, says students are always up for a good burger, a cheap drink and a heated basketball game.
"Students always come here to watch the games," said Franklin. "It's a young, loud and spirited crowd. There's nothing better than watching KU basketball in downtown Lawrence."
Located at 743 Massachusetts Street, Jefferson's is a great place to have a burger and watch the game with your friends.

OUR OPINION
Instructors should join the 21st Century
No one denies that technology utilized in the classroom can enhance the learning experience tremendously. Because of innovations like Blackboard, "clickers" and e-Reserve, students can turn in assignments online, participate in a large lecture class and avoid purchasing costly textbooks. But these advances in the classroom will only go so far as professors are willing to allow. And by the looks of things, it doesn't seem too promising.
Who hasn't had a professor who spends the first 10 minutes of each class trying to figure out how to turn on a computer? Or one who has his or her GTAs assist in opening a PowerPoint presentation. How about those who can't get the hang of how to zoom in and zoom out on an overhead projector? They are wasting students' time in the classroom because of their technological incompetence.
We should be able to expect more from our professors. There is no legitimate excuse for their inability to use things like Blackboard or digital projectors. A number of free resources are at their disposal to educate them about using technology in the classroom. The University of Kansas created the Instructional Development
and Support services for this very purpose. Its mission is to act as an academic support unit that provides the Lawrence campus with assistance in creating, maintaining and improving learning environments - both physical and virtual. Its Web site urges faculty to "contact us to learn about designing instruction that takes advantage of a wide variety of innovative teaching strategies and available-right-now technologies."
Instructional Development and Support also offers workshops about how to use technology in teaching that include instruction on a variety of topics such as Blackboard, creating instructional videos and advanced PowerPoint presentations for faculty and GTAs. Again, they are all free of charge and held at various times throughout the semester.
Consider this your warning, Luddite KU faculty members. The 21st century is upon us and it's about time you started acting like you were living in it. Otherwise, I guess we'll continue to let you fumble around the first ten minutes of class while we finish our Sudoku puzzles.

University officials should re-think ban

Adozen U.S. soldiers stood in-line at Jason's Deli three weeks ago. But it just wasn't the same without seeing a fully-loaded M-16 strapped to their backs.
I'll admit that I was nervous about traveling to Israel. Once I got there, though, my views changed. I felt comfortable and safe.
I was one day removed from a 10-day trip to Israel and still used to seeing soldiers and other guards walk around with rifles.
But for Americans who have not traveled to Israel, the thought of this picture would make most of them feel uneasy. This includes KU officials who continue to hold a ban on studying abroad in Israel.
The University implemented this ban in 2000 when the U.S. State Department placed Israel under a travel warning. The situation has improved since then, but officials will not lift the ban until the government deems Israel safe.
"We don't send students to places that the government says not to travel," said Diana Carlin, dean of international programs.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison, however, went a step further in determining to lift the same ban. Wisconsin officials have taken the U.S. travel warning seriously, but they have kept in close contact with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem to get a first-hand perspective.
walk around campus. That's what helped sway Wisconsin officials. Its ban was lifted on Feb. 14, 2005
Hebrew University officials educate study abroad participants and their parents about safety precautions and provide guards who
"We felt then, and we still do now, that it has changed. It wasn't bad enough that we should suspend participation," said Julie Lindsey, interim assistant director of the International Academic Programs at Wisconsin.
Yes, Israel is a country at war. Yes, Syria could attack. Yes, a suicide bomb could blow up at any time.
It's a disservice for an institution of higher learning to forbid students from studying through the University in a country with so much cultural and religious historv.
But Israel is not in a state of constant gunfire. Bombs are not blown up every day. Israelis do not walk around constantly looking over their shoulders.
The University should look out for its students' best interests - expanding their higher learning both locally and globally. Don't take away from a student's education. Call the Hebrew University, release a waiver and educate students and their parents about Israel's current situation. This research worked for the University of Wisconsin, and it can work for the University of Kansas.
KU officials: I encourage you all to follow in Wisconsin's footsteps and do a little more research. Government officials are looking out - for what they think - are Americans' best interests. It's an insult for the United States to place Israel, a close ally, on the same warning list as 24 third-world countries and/or other nations ruled by unstable governments.
COMMENTARY
Intelligent Design insufficient to benefit science as a theory
Intelligent design should not be taught as a scientific theory. At the core of its character, it is not a science.
"Science," as we use the word in everyday language, is a field that consists of hundreds of years of tested ideas that describe how the world works. Science, in a more formal context, is a method, an approach.
The goals of science are to build on what's known, through new discoveries and correction or clarification of old information. While it's true that ID theory uses facts of science to support its claims, it has nothing new to report. It only seeks to prove itself. Science doesn't seek to prove itself, but

rather to describe the behavior and character of the universe.
ID is a single belief or idea: "an intelligent force had a hand in building and organizing life." To equate the two by pitting them against one another is ridiculous. It's like stating a very broad idea, such as, "Fruits and vegetables are nutritious," and comparing it to the comment. "I like steak." The
latter is a single preference. The former is an evaluative statement with a broader scope.
I see no problem with a scientist holding the belief that an overarching intelligent force influenced life. But that belief is personal. It's for the scientist's own mind.
ID does not further science; it's a dead-end road. ID should be left out of science classrooms and laboratories; it's a personal belief that should be carried within whoever subscribes to it.
When the scientist is testing wastewater for chemical compounds, or studying how bees interact with pollinators or even looking at the genetic code of fruit flies, that belief doesn't factor in.
protein." Instead, the scientist must describe how that occurs biochemically; how the molecules interact and converge, and how the various bonds give the protein its shape. Maybe at the end of the day, she uses her personal religious beliefs as a lens through which to reflect on the beauty and complexity of nature. But that's irrelevant to her work.
How would we use ID concepts to prove anything new? Take the example of a scientist who studies protein folding. It's not appropriate, relevant or useful - to say 'God folded the
- Evanhoe is a Derby senior in chemistry.
INTELLIGENT DESIGN VS. EVOLUTION
What is intelligent design?
At its most general, ID proposes that the earth's living plants and animals are so complex that they must have been influenced ("made," "designed" or "guided") by an intelligent presence. Individuals or groups may choose to be more specific about naming this presence.
Chief arguments that support ID
1. Holes exist in the fossil record. These gaps illustrate that all creatures couldn't have come from one source because species-to-species changes aren't continuous, but rather, happen in discrete leaks.
2. Complex biochemical reactions, organs and other physical mechanisms of organisms are irreducibly complex — that is, they couldn't have evolved because the systems cannot function without all of the individual pieces.
What is evolution theory?
Originally proposed by Charles Darwin in 1858, evolution theory maintains that all life came from a single ancestor, and that we can construct a "tree of life" showing the relationships between all living things.
Its most irrefutable claim is that the biology of populations change over long periods of time. One of its strongest points of proof is that many fields converge to illustrate evolution's existence, from biology to biochemistry, neuroscience, ecology and genetics to anthropology and archaeology.
An important distinction is that "theory" doesn't mean a simple speculation. A theory is a set of ideas and definitions that explains natural phenomena based on evidence.

Muslims overreact to misuse of free press
While most of the major news stories covered in Europe are the same ones covered by major U.S. media, the leading news story in the European press for the past week is just now receiving U.S. coverage. It revolves around a series of cartoons originally printed in Jyllands-Posten, a Danish newspaper. The cartoons depicted Muhammad, the holy prophet of Islam, in several caricatures. One caricature depicted Muhammad hiding a bomb beneath his turban. Islam strictly prohibits any depiction of Muhammad, and the cartoon has caused protests and violence across the Muslim world in the past two weeks.
The response began with Libya and Saudi Arabia recalling their ambassadors from Denmark, and continued with protests across the Middle East, with vandalism such as the burning of the Danish flag. On Saturday, the most serious of the protests resulted in the torching and near total destruction of the Danish Embassy and Norwegian Embassy in Damascus, Syria. On Sunday, protesters in Beirut torched the Danish Consulate.
While the paper's editors have apologized for the cartoon, the conflict is not over. Despite requests from Muslim governments, the Danish government refuses to condemn the printing of the cartoons, citing free press and speech. Even worse, newspapers from France, Germany, Italy and Spain reprinted the cartoons this past week as an act of solidarity.
Remember, this is because of a cartoon.
When I first read about the governments of Libya and Saudi Arabia recalling their ambassadors, I thought they were overreacting. Now that two embassies have been burned to the ground, I am even more shocked, yet conflicted.
The protesters and governments of the Middle East, are completely out of line. One cartoonist's views by no means represents the views of the Danish people nor the Danish government. We Westerners value free speech and a free press. The press has the right to print what it wants without government influence, be it praise or condemnation. So how can the governments of these Muslim countries react so rashly?
Ryan Kusmin is a Leawood junior in political science and history. He is studying abroad in Madrid, Spain, this semester.
Though we value free speech and free press, some material is considered too offensive for publication. For example, child pornography is illegal.
I think that for the West, the freedoms we value come close to a faith, and free press is one of our nearest freedoms. While the Danish cartoonist was ignorant for creating a cartoon that deeply offends Islamic beliefs, he is still responsible for his actions. Conversely, those Muslims reacting violently and cutting off diplomatic ties are equally ignorant about our belief of free press and equally at fault for the cultural misunderstandings that have created this flasco.

When Ritch Price came into his first season as Kansas baseball coach in 2003, the team had one set of brothers — Matt and Ryan Baty.
Last season, Price kept the family theme going by adding two of his sons to the team, now-senior shortstop Ritchie Price and sophomore second baseman Rye Price.
This season, they have even more company.
The team now features two other sets of brothers: senior pitcher Don Czyz and freshman pitcher Nick Czyz, and junior pitcher Sean Land and freshman infielder Preston Land.
Coaching brothers is nothing new to Price. He said having brothers on the same team was an ideal situation.
"Usually when you get brothers like that, you
get guys that grow up in baseball families," Price said. "And the little brother has a huge advantage. He goes and watches his brother play all those games and plays catch with him and takes 'BP' with him and usually the younger brother has a chance to be further advanced because of having older brothers that play."
In 2003, the Land brothers led their high school team to a third-place finish in the 2003 Missouri State Championship. Now that they're together again, Sean said he couldn't be more excited to play with his brother.
“It's really nice,” Sean said. "I get to keep him in line, make sure he's going to class, make sure he's working hard."
As for the Czyz brothers, this season is especially
important to them, as it will be the first time they've ever played together. They went to different high schools in Overland Park.
"It's been a unique experience, I'll put it that way." Don said. "You know, being able to help him, whereas if he was at a different program now, I wouldn't be able to do that. I'm just glad that he came to KU and wanted to be a Jayhawk, and wanted to be a part of what we're doing here and play with me."
Coming out of high school, both younger brothers had the talent to have their pick of several schools in the Midwest. Nevertheless, their older siblings both refused to pressure their brothers into choosing Kansas.
As far as Price was concerned, even with Sean
and Don already on the team, he knew there was no guarantee that Preston and Nick would follow suit.
"We recruited both those guys really hard," Price said. "Our big thing was, we wanted them to come to school at KU because it was the perfect fit for them, not just because their brother was here."
Of course, had Preston or Nick decided Kansas wasn't the place for them, both older brothers said they wouldn't have remained as supportive.
"If he would've gone to Missouri, I don't know if there would've been a family get-together," Sean said.
The elder Czvz agreed.

'Hawks deserve some respect
MATT WILSON
WXYZFOX@YANGAN.COM
Maybe Rodney Dangerfield could have best summarized how the Kansas men's basketball team has been feeling lately.
No respect.
Monday, when this week's Top 25 rankings were released, Kansas was absent once again despite its exhilarating victory over then No. 18 Oklahoma on Sunday. Fans were outraged, noting that Colorado checked in at No. 25 in the Coaches Poll, despite a double-digit defeat at the hands of Iowa State Sunday.
Even the Sooners only dropped two spots to No. 20, leaving Jayhawk fans to wonder what everyone had against their team. The Jayhawks are the hottest team in the Big 12, after winning five in a row and 12 of their last 14 games. It seems that nothing short of beating No. 7 Texas in a few weeks will earn Kansas the respect of the voters.
With that said, I wouldn't want to be Nebraska tonight.
A lack of respect, however, is not a big deal, especially at this point in the season. Several teams from the past have displayed similarities to this Kansas team and have been overlooked on the national scene.
In 1987-88, the Jayhawks' last national championship season, they were out of the Associated Press poll midway through the season. They didn't re-enter the poll before Danny Manning led them to the NCAA Tournament title.
Adding to the fun, in this week's version of "Bracketology," a mock NCAA Tournament bracket created by ESPN.com's Joe Lunardi, the Jayhawks are plugged into the Atlanta Region as a No. 6 seed. The 88 championship team was a six as well — interesting.
Kansas' record on this date in 1988 was 15-8. This year's Jayhawks are two games better, 15-6. Can you say "Brandon and the Miracles?"
For an even better comparison, look back to the 2002-03 season. Syracuse, the eventual national champions, had a starting lineup that featured two freshmen and a sophomore, much like this year's Jayhawks. Syracuse rode guard Gerry McNamara and forward Carmelo Anthony to victory over a much more experienced Kansas team in the championship game. Anthony scored 20 points and grabbed 10 boards. Sophomore forward Halim Warrick blocked a three-point attempt by Michael Lee in the waning moments that would have tied the game.

Tough test awaits
Jayhawks hit the road to take on first-place Sooners
KU Tip-off
Kansas Jayhawks (14- 6,3-6 Big 12 Conference)
Last time out:
After a demoralizing home loss to Colorado, Kansas rebounded and defeated Iowa State 65-64. The Jayhawks led by as many as 19 points, but the Cyclones staged a late comeback and tied the game in the final seconds. The Cyclones made their comeback by switching from a zone defense to man-to-man. Most teams play Kansas with a zone.
Season in review:
It's crunch time for Kansas. With seven games left to play, the Jayhawks likely need to win five to make the NCAA tournament. Topping the Sooners would probably be the biggest upset of the season in the Big 12 Conference and would help the Jayhawks' tournament cause intensely.
Senior forward Crystv1 Kemp. Kemp has indisputably been the team's best player this season. She averages more than 19 points and eight rebounds per game. Now she will face one of the best players in America, freshman center Courtney Paris. If either player gets in foul trouble, it would give the other the upper hand in this match-up.
Player to watch:
The last time Kansas played an opponent of this caliber on the road, the team lost to Baylor, 90-40. The Jayhawks will have to hit their open shots and hope the Sooners are looking past them.

Last time out:
Oklahoma Sooners (19- 4.9-0 Big 12 Conference)
Freshman center Courtney Paris recorded her 15th straight double-double Saturday at Mizzou Arena, when the Sooners defeated the Tigers 88-73. She scored 27 points and grabbed 16 rebounds in just 26 minutes. Courtney's twin sister, forward Ashley Paris, scored 14 points. Missouri decided against double-teaming Courtney Paris, and the other Oklahoma forwards also blew the game open.
Season in review:
Oklahoma is rolling through the Big 12 and holds a three-game lead over secondplace Baylor. The Sooners lead the conference in scoring and field goal percentage, scoring over 77 points a game. The team's last loss came more than a month ago by four to then-No. 10 Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio.
Player to watch:
Courtney Paris might be the best freshman player in the country. She has 20 double-doubles this season. Last week against Oklahoma State and Missouri, Paris averaged 22 points, 14 rebounds and two blocks per game. If she can get Kansas senior forward Crystal Kemp in early foul trouble, look for Paris to establish her presence in the paint.
Key to victory:
The Sooners cannot get caught looking ahead to their chance to sweep the season series with Baylor on Sunday. Oklahoma must look to the Paris sisters early and often to counter Kemp, one of the conference's best post players. If Oklahoma takes Kansas lightly, Kansas has a chance to pull off the upset.

On Feb. 8 that year, the uber-young Orangemen had a 7-3 Big East record. The Jayhawks are 6-2 in the Big 12 entering tonight's game at Nebraska. Might Brandon Rush be this year's Anthony? Could Mario Chalmers or Russell Robinson play the part of Gerry McNamara? Is Julian Wright the next Warrick? Time will tell us, but the similarities are scary.
It may be pie-in-the-sky dreaming, but when the Baby Jayhawks play like they did in the final 10 minutes of the Oklahoma game, there isn't a team on the planet they can't beat. When they locked down defensively and held the Sooners to just eight points in that stretch, coaches across the league could be heard letting out a collective groan.
Let's hope the Jayhawks can keep it going until Feb. 25, when the take on the Longhorns. A first-place battle would be fun, and another victory on national television might finally open some people's eyes.

Missouri head coach Cindy Stein argues a call with a referee Saturday during a game against Oklahoma in Columbia, Mo. Missouri has gone from an 11-win team last year to a team with a shot at its third 20-win season since 1989-90.
BY R.B. FALLSTROM
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Missouri women's basketball team knows there's no shame in shooting for second.
The Tigers are the school's success story on the court, overachieving while the men have struggled around the .500 mark. The women had been unbeaten in 11 home games before losing to conference-leading Oklahoma on Saturday, a victory that propelled the Sooners into the Top 10 and gave them a three-game lead with only seven games to go.
The loss leaves Missouri in the battle for runner-up. The school was in a three-way tie for second with Baylor and Texas A&M.
"Can we catch Oklahoma?" coach Cindy Stein said. "We've lost control of that. So now we've got to just work on us."
They'll try to re-establish the momentum they've built all
Despite that setback, Missouri (16-5, 6-3 Big 12) has a shot at only its third 20-win season since 1989-90. The Tigers made it into the Top 25 earlier this season for the first time since 1984-85, and are among the top teams also receiving votes this week.
season on Wednesday at Iowa State.
"Things happen, we've just got to bounce back from it," guard LaToya Bond said. "We just have to learn from it and keep moving on."
This has been a resurgent year for Missouri, which was 11-18 last season. All five starters are back, giving Stein his most experienced team in eight seasons at the school.
They had a 12-game winning streak, second-longest in school history, early in the season. The 16-4 start was one game off the best start in school history after 20 games and they knocked off No. 4 Baylor last month. Carlynn Savant leads the nation in 3-point accuracy.
This from a team picked by conference coaches to finish 10th in the Big 12.
Oklahoma led by 20 at the half in the latest game, yet never felt that comfortable.
"I never felt like they felt they were out of the game." Sooners coach Sherri Coale said. "Until about the 3-minute mark, I never felt like they thought it was over, and that's a very important trait to develop."

conference player of the week.
"Even being down at the half I still felt good about our team, and I think we showed some promise." Stein said. "A couple of buckets go down, we're right there in the thick of things."
Still, Stein knows Missouri must play better to hang with the premier teams. She estimated that the Tigers played according to plan less than half of the time against Oklahoma.
"Those are things we knew we were going to be able to gauge this game on, what we needed to work on still and the things we could develop a little bit better," Stein said. "Obviously, it gives us a good gauge."

Michael Jordan bedazzled by players' mile-high scores
BY KRISTIE RIEKEN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
When it comes to scoring points, Michael Jordan is an expert.
So he couldn't help but delight in Kobe Bryant putting up 81 and a New York high schooler going wild for 113.
Still, Jordan insisted things would have been a bit different if he'd been guarding Bryant.
end of that game without six fouls,"ford said Tuesday.
"If I was on the other side, there's no way I would have been in at the
Bryant's total in a come-frombehind victory over Toronto last month was the second-highest in NBA history.
"I don't know if I could have given up 81 points and not fouled out of the game."
Epiphanny Prince set a national girls' record last week in a game that was a rout from the start. Some complained her performance in such a one-sided contest was an
example of poor sportsmanship.
"I can't fault the young lady for scoring 113 points when she goes out each and every minute to play the game hard," Jordan said. "If you're going to fault anybody, fault the coach for not taking her out of the game."
The former Chicago Bulls star was in town to announce the players for his high school showcase, the Jordan All-American Classic, set for April 22 at Madison Square Garden.
Jordan was so impressed by Prince — one of the top prep players in the nation — he's contemplating adding a girls' event next year.
"I think that she's going to innovate this game," he said. "I think we should give women an opportunity to be recognized."
Jordan, whose NBA career-high was 69, couldn't remember a specific time when people got on him about scoring too much.
But he knows there were probably many occasions like that.
"I imagine you guys were mad at me a lot in New York," Jordan joked, in a lobby adjacent to the Garden.
"People got mad at me for playing hard every minute I was on the basketball court and it so happened that I scored a lot of points on their team."
Bryant has often said the he fashions his game after the 10-time NBA scoring leader. Jordan said he can see some similarities.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Former Kansas forward Nick Collison, right, of the Seattle SuperSonics,
fouls Charlotte Bobcats guard Raymond Felton Monday.
Something never before seen in Allen Fieldhouse could happen this fall; Nick Collison could block Kirk Hinrich's shot.
The former University of Kansas basketball players are slated to play opposite each other in an NBA preseason game tentatively scheduled for Oct. 15 in the fieldhouse. Hinrich and Collison currently play for the Chicago Bulls and the Seattle SuperSonics, respectively.
Hinrich's Bulls and Collision's SuperSonics are negotiating a contract with the Athletics Department to finalize the players' homecoming.
The Bulls are calling the marketing shots because the game is considered a Bulls home game. The Bulls invited the Super-Sonics to be the opponents at that game to unite Collison and Hinrich on their former home court, Jeff Wohlschlaeger, Bulls representative said. The Bulls last played in the fieldhouse in 1997.
"It was hugely successful," Wohlschlaeger said. "The number one reason we're doing this is to bring Kirk back."
Wohlschlaeger said the Bulls would work with local television and radio stations to get the word out and get fans to the game.
Ticket prices, availability of tickets to students and other game day issues were still being worked out, Wohlschlaeger said. He expected an agreement to be reached between the Bulls and the department soon.
Watching the Kansas basketball legends in person at their old stomping grounds could be a rare opportunity that fans won't plan on missing.
"I will definitely go," Chris Roberts, Merriam senior, said. "It will be cool to see the two play against each other."
What would the reaction be if Collison blocked Hinrich's shot?
"There would be cheers," Molly
Mulholland, Overland Park senior, said.
She also said there might be a few laughs.
The two players playing together again in the fieldhouse could conjure a slew of feelings for the players and fans alike. Hinrich and Collison both hail from Iowa, played together at the University and graduated together in 2003.
"I think it will be emotional for them," Liz Scheibler, Overland Park senior, said. "It would be interesting to see them go against each other."
Roberts, Mulholland and Scheibler are all members of the last graduating class to be enrolled at the University with Collison and Hinrich, which makes them part of the last class to have seen the two former Jayhawks play in the fieldhouse.
for all Kansas fans.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said he thought the potential match-up would be a treat
"It will be great for the fans. You'd be hard pressed to find two more beloved KU ex-players than those two. From a fan's standpoint, it will be great." Marchiony said.
Last season's Big 12 Player of the Year, first-tier All-American and former KU basketball player Wayne Simien will not have his jersey retired this season.
Iersev Retirement:
Simien, currently with the NBA's Miami Heat, is eligible under department protocol to have his number retired.
Marchiony said Simien's jersey would eventually hang in the fieldhouse rafters.
"We're going to institute a five-year waiting period," Marchiony said. "It will mean more to the former student athlete and to the fans if there is a waiting period."

"Older brother, always wins," Sean said.
Preston conceded that his older brother owned the head-to-head history.
"I'm like one for six against him, or something like that, with a couple strikeouts," Preston said.
Both being pitches, the Czyz brothers said they didn't worry about getting hits off each other. Instead, they like to imagine Don coming into a ballgame that Nick started, with a chance to seal a victory for the Ivahawks.
"Hopefully we can do it this year because after this year, he's not going to be around any more," Nick said. "It's definitely a possibility."

Pro athletes make bad gamble
Betting puts players on thin ice
Janet Gretzky, the wife of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, claps and smiles before Wayne Gretzky's official induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto in 1999. Janet and about a half-dozen NHL players placed bets, but not on hockey, with a nationwide sports gambling ring financed by Phoenix Coyotes assistant coach Rick Tocchet, authorities said Tuesday.

BY CHRIS NEWMARKER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EWING, NJ. — Wayne Gretzky's wife and about a half-dozen NHL players placed bets — but not on hockey — with a nationwide sports gambling ring financed by Phoenix Coyotes assistant coach Rick Tocchet, authorities said Tuesday.
Gretzky, hockey's greatest player, is in his first season coaching the Coyotes and is a part-owner of the team.
Actress-wife Janet Jones was among those implicated, two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because no bettors have been publicly identified.
State police Col. Rick Fuentes said an investigation into the New Jersey-based ring discovered the processing of more than 1,000 wagers, exceeding $1.7 million, on professional and college sports, mostly football and basketball.
The developments came at a sensitive time for the NHL, which is trying to win back fans after a season-long lockout and just days before many of its best players will showcase their talent at the Turin Olympics.
Tocchet was served with a criminal complaint Monday and was expected to travel from his Arizona home to answer charges of promoting gambling, money laundering and conspiracy, Fuentes said.
"It's not a hockey-related issue, it's a football thing. And at this time I can't comment any further," Tocchet said after the Coyotes practiced Tuesday.
Gretzky said Tocchet would be on the bench for Tuesday night's home game against Chicago, and it would be "business as usual."
"Everyone in the world is innocent until proven guilty," Gretzky said. "He's a great guy and a good friend. He's just going through a tough time right now, obviously, and we've got to let it run its course. It's a situation that's obviously a concern for the organization at this point."
Gretzky did not comment about his wife, and did not return a call from the AP.
Tocchet acknowledged that a New Jersey state trooper arrested in connection with the gambling ring case is his friend. Tochet said he would cooperate with the investigation but didn't answer when asked if he'd surrender to authorities.
"We understand that Mr. Tochet's conduct in no way involved betting on hockey," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said. "And, while betting on football or other sports may be the pervasive issue, it in no way justifies poor judgment or otherwise alleged inappropriate conduct."
Authorities said Tocchet and state police Trooper James Harney were partners in the operation, with the ex-NHL forward providing the financing.
"Tocchet received illegal sports bets from wagers and funneled money back to New Jersey," Fuentes said.
Tocchet, one of three associate coaches on the Coyotes' staff, took over the head coaching duties for 10 days in December while Gretzky was with his dying mother.
The 41-year-old Tocchet played 18 years with six teams, including three seasons with the Coyotes from 1997-00. He is one of only two players in NHL history to collect 400 goals and 2,000 penalty minutes.
Tocchet was a fan favorite during his two stints with the
Flyers (1984-92, 2000-02). Flyers star center Peter Forsberg on Tuesday described Tocchet as "a good guy, a funny guy."
"I think everybody is surprised," Forsberg said. "It's definitely not good for the sport to hear something like that."
Flyers forward Simon Gagne played briefly with Tocchet in Philadelphia and called him "one of the best guys I knew."
conduct, promoting gambling, money laudering and conspiracy. Another man accused of taking bets is James Ulmer, 40, who was charged with promoting gambling, money laudering and conspiracy.
Both men were free after posting 10 percent of their bail. Harney had $100,000 bail; Ulmer had $50,000 bail. The two men were expected to be arraigned in state Superior Court in Burlington County within two weeks.
Harney, 40, was arrested Monday and has been suspended from the force. The eight-year police veteran was charged in an arrest warrant with official misa 72 percent increase over the number in Salt Lake City four years ago. The IOC is using systematic blood tests for the first time and saving doping samples for eight years.
Craig Mitnick, a lawyer representing Harney, said his client hadn't decided whether to contest the charges in court.
WINTER OLYMPICS
Officials urge antidoping regulations
BY STEPHEN WILSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the IOC's annual session Tuesday, Rogge expressed concern at the "very slow rate" of acceptance of the World Anti-Doping Code.
TURIN, Italy — International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge urged governments to speed up approval of global anti-doping rules before the Turin Games open on Friday.
The code, adopted by all Olympic sports federations, sets out uniform rules and sanctions for all sports and countries in the fight against performance-enhancing drugs.
"We express the hope that the governments who have promised to adopt the code by the first day of the Olympic Games will accelerate their efforts," Rogge said.
The doping code was incorporated in a treaty approved by UNESCO member states in October. However, the accord doesn't formally go into force until at least 30 member governments ratify it.
So far, only seven countries have signed — Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Denmark, Sweden. Norway and Monaco.
World Anti-Doping Agency spokesman Frederic Donze said other governments are expected to ratify the code in coming weeks and months.
WADA and the IOC had hoped enough governments would have signed up by the end of December for the convention to be in place for the Turin Olympics. But Donze said the lack of approval doesn't affect the stringent anti-doping rules being applied at the games.
Rogge said the IOC will conduct 1,200 drug tests in Turin,
"For the thousands of athletes who compete cleanly and fairly, we have a duty to put in place the strongest measures to trap the small minority who cheat," Rooge said.
On other issues, Rogge praised Turin organizers and said the IOC expects games marked by "Olympic magic and Italian passion."
He thanked international federations for helping to improve judging and refereeing standards, and warned officials to guard against the danger of betting in sports.
"We owe it to ourselves and our event to ensure that such activities are contained within the appropriate framework and do not have an adverse impact on our values or undermine the credibility of the competition," Rogge said.
His comments came as U.S. authorities investigated allegations that Phoenix Coyotes assistant coach Rick Tocchet financed a nationwide sports gambling ring in which about a half-dozen current NHL players placed bets — but not on hockey.
Tocchet, a former NHL star, was served with a criminal complaint Monday on charges of promoting gambling, money laundering and conspiracy, authorities said.
"It's an international problem, it's not just the NHL," Rogge said. "There is a lot of betting where there is an influence on sports results ... There is a danger that competitions be manipulated because the ones who put a bet then bribe the athletes or the referees."

SUDOKU
Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each layer contains exactly one digit. The concept of the Conceptus Sudoku increases from Monday to Sunday.

Think you should listen to this focus tape in a quiet area. It is important that you use a tape player? You do know what an iPod is don't you?
I mean, you'd have to be an idiot to be listening to this while you're in class already.
Futhermore, why are you using a tape player? You do know what an iPod is don't you?
PENGUINS
HAH, YOU DON'T LOVE 6000. YOU MOHOLO CHECK YOUR TEMPERATURE TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN'T HAVE A FEVER.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING...
YOU'RE PROBABLY OLD ENough TO PUT THE THIRD WATER IN YOUR MOUTH.
▼ HOROSCOPES
ARIES (March 21-April 19) **★★ Push might come to shove if you're not careful. Others don't understand why you are acting in such a manner. Why not worry less and enjoy more? Listen to your instincts, and you will come out ahead.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ****** You have a lot to say, but others might need to adjust their thinking in order to get the sense of your words. You are able to help others manifest more of what they want. Learn to relate to others on the level they are at.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ***** Use the morning to forge ahead on an important project. By the afternoon, you could be entrenched in a financial decision. Get feedback from someone in the know. You might not have all the answers -- yet!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) *****
You are personality-plus as the day becomes later. Try to read between the lines with an associate who could be difficult or contentious. You know what works. Do just that. Seek out new information.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) **** Know when to be the observer and not the lead actor. Tap into your creativity for answers. Work closely with an associate, though let this person feel in control. Lie back.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ***** You might want to think before you leap. Though many ideas run past you this morning, in the afternoon, you naturally choose the right direction at the right time. Others suddenly become chatterboxes in the next few days.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ***** Do research in the morning, when facts seem to appear more easily. You need to do this in order to get a job done well. Think in terms of making a greater impact on others. You have what it takes.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) *****
You might want to carefully think through a question. Your imagination starts to work overtime. You are able to detach and gain another perspective. You feel much better than you have recently.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ***
Others run with the ball. You might attempt to encourage someone to try another approach. Expect to be frustrated, for now. In the afternoon, try a more individual approach; you will greet success!
Doug Lann/KANSAN
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★
Clear out as much work as you can.
You could be frustrated by a personal matter. Perhaps your convictions are off. Hold up a mirror and do some heavy thinking. Feedback comes your way.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5B
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ You might want to think about an engaging investment or financial risk. You also could jump knee-deep into a situation that you could shake your head at later. Think positively. Focus on work, if you can.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) **** You are coming from a point of stability. Think carefully about what you want and need. Verbalizing it is the first step. Your imagination works overtime. Plug some energy into work or your daily life.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 7B
Rebellious skier poised for competition
Olympic
Bode Miller ready to win but questions rules,norms
Cvrus McCrimon/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY CONNOR ENNIS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURIN, Italy — Bode Miller reached up with a finger to scratch his temple, setting off a flurry of shutter clicks.
"It's to be expected," Ted Ligety said. "If you're the best, you deserve the most attention for what you're doing."
Miller didn't say anything Tuesday that he hasn't said before:
He believes athletes are punished for speaking their minds; one of the reasons he won't be staying at the athletes' village at the Olympics is he doesn't think it's a "healthy living environment"; and he's got mixed feelings regarding the U.S. Ski and Snowboard team's motto of "Best in the World!"
But he was undoubtedly himself, something that has won him plenty of admirers — and more than his share of criticism over the past year.
His comments disparaging anti-doping regulations created a stir earlier this season, but he became the focus of controversy after a "60 Minutes" interview in which he said "if you ever tried to ski when you're wasted, it's not easy."
And last month, he suggested in an interview with Rolling Stone that Barry Bonds and Lance Armstrong took performance-enhancing drugs.
Miller later said the interview was "pretty warped" and took the quotes out of context.
"I don't want to sound arrogant, but none of this bothers me very much," Miller said. "I'm not caught by surprise. I would be lying if I said I had massive regrets about the things I've said."
Regrets or not, the comments have certainly brought plenty of attention Miller's way.
He shared the dais at the news conference with Ligety, Daron Rahlves, Marco Sullivan, Scott Macartney and Steve Nyman.
At one point, the moderator broke in to ask several questions of the other team members before questioning was opened up again and all queries were again directed at Miller, who left before reporters had a chance to speak to him in smaller groups.
When the assembled media was allowed to ask questions, however, none were asked of the other skiers — except for one question which was directed to both Rahlves and Miller.
U. S. Olympic Alpine Ski team member Bode Miller speaks to the media during a press conference for the U.S. Alpine Ski team in Turin, Italy. Tuesday, The Turin 2006 Winter Olympic Games open Friday.
"Glad you guys are willing to mix up the questions," Miller joked at one point.
Miller's Alpine teammates say they don't mind that he's become the public face.
"As far as the media stuff is concerned, he's gotten a lot of play, a lot of (magazine) covers," said Rahlves, a medal contender in downhill, super-G and giant slalom. "That's good
for our sport. To me, it's not really a big issue of me getting all the press. It's more like trying to get our sport some press, to get people to know what's coming up ... What it comes down to, ultimately, is who's going to be skiing faster."
Miller and Rahlves both have guaranteed spots in the downhill on Feb. 12 in Sestriere, the first Alpine race of the Turin Games.
Miller recently took a week off from World Cup competition, traveling to Dubai to play golf with his brother.
The reigning overall World Cup champion, Miller hasn't been as impressive this season and is currently third in
the overall standings with 748 points, 317 behind first-place Benjamin Raich. He shrugged off any talk that his performance was disappointing.
"I've met my goals as effectively this year as I did last year," he said.
When it comes to the motto — and the team's focus on winning medals — Miller is of two minds.
He believes the skiers on the team are focused on being the best in the world, but that others in the organization, including coaches and administrators, need to make the same commitment.
Just declaring as much, Miller said, isn't enough.
"We're not the ones making policy," said Miller, characterizing the motto as a "clever marketing twist."
Miller has often said the traditional spoils of winning, whether it's medals or money, don't mean much to him. With big-time sponsors such as Nike behind him.
Miller still says his satisfaction comes from performing to the best of his abilities, rather than defeating opponents or making millions of dollars.
"You don't see me up here with bling diamonds on and a fur coat wrapped around me," Miller said. "My most expensive car is probably less than your most expensive car."

Big Red hope to cool down red hot 'Hawks
KU Tip-off
AFLIGENCE
Kansas, winners of five straight, is one of the hottest teams in the NCAA, but the victories have not brought the team the national recognition it has seen in past seasons. Freshman guard Brandon Rush continues to shoulder the majority of the offensive load for Kansas, so look for him to do the same tonight in Lincoln, Neb.
LAST TIME OUT
Kansas came back from a 16-point deficit with 10 minutes remaining to top Oklahoma 59-58 Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse.The victory was the Jayhawks' fifth straight and 12th in their last 14 games.
PLAYER TO WATCH
5 QUICK FACTS
Freshman forward Julian Wright. Wright exploded for key dunks and key rebounds against Oklahoma, scoring 14 points and pulling down eight rebounds. His versatility makes him one of the unique post players in the country, and he will need another solid output to have Kansas get its sixth straight victory.
2 — Number of times Brandon Rush has been named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week.
5 — Consecutive victories for Kansas, vaulting the team into second place in the conference.
8 — Turnovers by Mario Chalmers against Oklahoma.
14. 8 — Rush's points per game for the season.
1 — Number of Kansas players averaging 10 or more points per game (Rush).
LOOKING AHFAD
Kansas is in the thick of the Big 12 Championship race, just one game behind first-place Texas. If Kansas can continue its winning ways, a match-up with Texas at the end of the month may decide who wins the title.
KEY TO VICTORY
Avoiding the hangover. Sunday's victory was an emotional one, and Self needs to have his players ready for a conference road game tonight. The team needs to forget about Sunday's win and focus on earning another one, which would help it continue its quest for a conference title.
Kansas vs. Nebraska, Jayhawk TV 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, Devaney Center
Kansas
OFFENSE
The Kansas offense had an off day during Sunday's one-point victory against Oklahoma, scoring just 59 points and struggling to find any consistency until the last 10 minutes. Nebraska, however, is not a team that prides itself on defense the way Oklahoma does. Kansas dominated Nebraska offensively during the first meeting in January, scoring 96 points in a game that was never in doubt. Freshman guard Brandon Rush led the team in scoring, along with senior guard Jeff Hawkins, against the Huskers last time in Lawrence. Look for Rush to do the same tonight in Lincoln, Neb.
ku ku ku ku
Nebraska
DEFENSE
Holding a team to just eight points in the final ten minutes of a basketball game is impressive, and that's exactly what Kansas did to Oklahoma on Sunday. The timely defense enabled the Jayhawks to get back into the game. Kansas should see more of its stifling defense, which is holding opponents to less than 40 percent shooting on a regular basis.
OFFENSE
ku ku ku ku
The last time Nebraska and Kansas met on the court, Nebraska managed only 54 points, and struggled to get into an offensive flow. The 54 points were 13 below the team's season average. Nebraska center Aleks Maric scored 12 points, and freshman guard Jamel White came off the bench to add 10 points. Both Nebraska's leading scorers, Wes Wilkinson and Jason Dourisseau, had quiet games against Kansas the first time. Lately Wilkinson has improved, averaging 15 points the past three games.
NNN
DEFENSE
Nebraska's defense struggled in the earlier game against Kansas. The Cornhuskers' guards had trouble keeping up. Kansas shot 11-18 from three-point distance last game. Senior guard Jeff Hawkins and freshman guard Brandon Rush each had 17 points. Kansas shot 59.7 percent against Nebraska, which shot 29 percent. Nebraska is allowing 64.2 points per game, thirty points less than what the team gave up against Kansas in the first meeting.
NNN
COACHING
Bill Self found a way to keep his team motivated during a game that appeared to be over for the Jayhawks Sunday. Self's squad kept its poise and pulled out its most improbable victory this season. Self has had Kansas prepared for each road game it has played this season, going 3-1 in conference play away from Allen Fieldhouse.The Jayhawks will need that to continue tonight if they hope to stay in the running for a conference championship.

Ryan Colaianni
COACHING
KU KU KU
Nebraska coach Barry Collier has already had his ups and downs this season. Nebraska is 5-3 in conference play. If it can continue its hot play, Nebraska could earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament. This feat has never been accomplished under Collier, who has a 1-10 record against Kansas. The only victory occurred two years ago at Nebraska. Collier has produced only one team that has played postseason, his 2004 squad that qualified for the NIT Tournament.
Daniel Berk
NN
NU Tip-off
AT A GLANCE
It has been a season of ups and downs for Nebraska, especially since entering conference play. Nebraska started the conference season 2-0, with victories against Oklahoma and Kansas State, then lost three games in a row against Iowa State, Kansas and Colorado.
LAST TIME OUT
PLAYER TO WATCH
Nebraska continued its winning ways, beating Baylor at home by 15 points. Nebraska held Baylor to just 32 percent shooting overall, and 20 percent shooting in the second half. Baylor hit only five shots in the second half.
Wes Wilkinson. The senior forward was extremely quiet the first game, scoring only three points. Wilkinson has put together solid games since then, and will be ready to try to get some revenge against Kansas on his home court. Wilkinson is a deadly three-point shooter, and if Kansas gives him any room, he will not hesitate to shoot.
5 QUICK FACTS
13-2 — Nebraska's record at the Devaney Center this season.
9. 8 — Sophomore Joe McCray's scoring average before being dismissed from the team.
56 — Turnovers for Douris-seau this season, to just 32 assists.
17-62 — Nebraska's shooting chart against Kansas last time, a 27-percent average.
24 — Nebraska turnovers last game against Kansas, compared to only six assists.
LOOKING AHEAD
A victory against Kansas would be huge for Nebraska. It would create a four-team tie for second place with Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Oklahoma. A loss would bring the team back to reality before starting a very difficult stretch of its schedule. After Kansas, Nebraska will travel to Austin, Texas, and Ames, Iowa, to play in two of the tougher environments in the conference.
KEY TO VICTORY
Shooting. Nebraska is capable of hitting a lot of shots and playing tough, boring defense. If Nebraska can hit shots early and maintain confidence, that will turn into tough defense. Missed shots could lead to fast-break points for Kansas.
CUJ
Around the Big 12
ATM
Colorado at Texas A&M
Where: College Station, Texas
Colorado aims to return to its winning ways. The Buffalooes were in second place in the Big 12 Conference at 5-2 before losing on the road to Iowa State Sunday. The team still managed to stay ranked No. 25 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. Sophomore guard Richard Roby, who is averaging 18.1 points per game, leads Colorado. Texas A&M comes into the game after a tough loss at Texas. The Aggies played hard and made it close down the stretch, before star forward Joseph Jones fouled out with 31 points. The Aggies have been struggling lately, and a victory against the Buffalooes would raise their confidence a bit before they play the Cowboys on Saturday.
IOWA STATE

C
Iowa State at Kansas State
When: Tonight, 6:30

Iowa State comes into the game after a strong performance against Colorado at home. Curtis Stinson had a triple-double and was named Big 12 Conference Player of the Week. Rahshon Clark also had a career day, scoring 24 points and grabbing 14 rebounds. The victory moved Iowa State to 14-7 on the season and 4-4 in conference play. Kansas State aims to end its struggles, having lost three in a row. The team will be without head coach Jim Wooldridge, who will undergo neck surgery and be unable to coach the Wildcats. Kansas State strives to get closer to .500 in the league as it sits at 3-5.

Oklahoma at Oklahoma St
When: Tonight, 8
Where: Stillwater, Okla.
Bitter rivals face off as Oklahoma will try to rebound from a devastating one-point loss at Kansas. Oklahoma led most of the game before Kansas came back in the final eight minutes. Oklahoma still managed to stay in the rankings despite the loss to Kansas and will look to keep its chances of winning the Big 12 Championship alive. Oklahoma State got back to its winning ways when it won on the road at Kansas State last weekend.The Cowboys beat the Wildcats by two points and had three players score in double figures, led by Jameson Curry with 12 points.

Museums and castles theatre and royalty all in a short time
Shane Kucera, a senior Journalism major, participated in the 2005 British Summer Institute.
I visited more museums, castles, theatres and pubs than I can count. I marched with 250,000 people through the capital of Scotland.I stared at artwork firsthand that I thought I would only study in books. These are just a few of my study abroad experiences that changed my life, and they are experiences that I will remember for the rest of my life.
I learned more in England and Scotland during the 2005 British Summer Institute than I have in any semester of college. I was in a constant state of awe, waking up every morning in another country to see so many things new and different.
to put in words how much I every minute I was overseas. words won't allow me to describe my experience, so we a short list of a few more had the chance to do: I watched ht play at Shakespeare's Globe saw the Queen and Prince took a boat across Loch Ness, th of July picnic in the mountains northern Scotland, stood at the top Paul's Cathedral, walked across bey Road and drank pints of dark beer th a Scot while singing Beatles songs the top of our lungs.The only thing I didn't like about studying abroad is that it didn't last long enough.

The Concert
By Gerasimos Nestoratos, mayor of Katohi, Greece
June 11, 2004, Lycabettus theatre.
Evanescence with Amy Lee.
Musical searching through the fields of the soul notes like sweetening of hearing,
means of erotic approaching.
Atmosphere full of bubbles of melody moistening the summer feelings.
Sound fitting the rhythm of our own old routes,
Rock music, the alibi of our youth,
young audience, students, sweetening bodies,
colorfulT-shirts, sentimental sounds,
transparent, noisy hearing, pure rock.
Weak request from eighteen-year-old Xenia,
for me to be there too, at my fifties.
It was a difficult balance
with a mature soul as compensation.
A strange blend, unraveled labels
of my thought, which that night,
I tried to write clearly.
I looked like I wanted everything
and at the same time, in the endless evergreen fantasy, everything was uselessly flowing in a playful happy mood.
And what about me?
I did not know the lyrics
but I could feel the music flowing since in this ocean of love,
music and love are the two religions that, by touching them, you touch eternity.
I, then, asked myself what elevates me more music or love? But I could not answer.
- Coming down from Lycabettus theatre I was still fifty and my daughter eighteen. So let it be, just for two hours, as in illusion, I reach out for some of my own times, back then when I, like Xenia, was beautiful.

Theatre, Culture and Friendships in Greece
Summer Eglinski is a senior majoring in Theatre and Film. Here she recounts her experiences abroad participating in the Theatre in Greece Summer Institute.
I like to tell people that the food is worth the ticket over; but honestly, Greece has so much more to offer than just its culinary delights. Greece, unlike any other trip to any other country, changed my life. The KU theatre program specifically made a difference. This program involves more than sightseeing and studying, you really develop a sense of being a part of the community where you live and begin to understand something about this foreign culture.
The program involves putting on an ancient Greek play in the ancient theatre of Oiniades, built in the fourth century BCE. Students stay in the near-by modern city of Katohi. This small, rural village provides the backdrop for the years of story-telling that come out of this experience. Children in the community serve to flesh out the chorus in the play so everyone gets to know the kids very quickly, and consequently their entire families. The best part of the experience is this sense of familiarity and friendship that develops so quickly. One of my friends there calls herself my "sister" and I am planning on returning to visit my Greek "family" this Christmas.
The program is not just for theatre majors, though. Anyone can take part and is guaranteed to have a wonderful time. We all have our strengths and the program can really be tailored specifically to each student's strengths. Musicians, actors, dancers designers, directors, classicists, and linguists will all find special niches here as will anyone who makes the decision to go. We travel to Athens, Delphi, Corinth Mycenae, Olympia, Nauphlion, and most recently the Greek island of Kefalonia (where Captain Corelli's Mandolin was filmed).
This program also serves to promote a more global perspective in all of us. It gives us an opportunity to promote the best parts of American culture while learning about Greek culture in its turn. Teaching, I have found, is one of the best ways to learn about something. By teaching others about our culture, we learn about it ourselves. By being immersed in the Greek culture, we learn about their culture and how our culture can fit into in on a global level. This opportunity is invaluable.
What I cherish more than anything from my trip to Greece are the friends that I made there. Three years later I still correspond regularly with the kids I met there. We talk about school, relationships, jobs, everything. We changed each other and my life will never be the same thankfully.
History and Archeology, Memories and "Trash" in Ancient Greece
Liz Morel is a senior majoring in Engineering. She participated in the Ancient Greece:An Archaeological Tour summer program.
I called it my journal; everyone else called it my trash book. When we went to the Sparta Acropolis, I carried crayons to make rubbings of the engraved writings on the temple stones. I carried glue to cement in sugar packets and old receipts from the tavermas we frequented in Athens, and a pen so I could frantically sketch all the layout and ornamental decoration of every temple, theater, and tholos that I saw and copy down notes of our professors. As an engineer, I wanted to document, in detail, every place we went, every person we met, and all the food we ate. Because of all the trash, I am immediately transported back to Greece when I look at it and I remember all the things that I valued about the program and how the program helped me develop as a person.
Though Classics was not my field of study, I had been interested in Ancient and Modern Greece since high school. I valued the infectious passion and expertise that the professors had about the subject material. Being abroad allowed for in-depth study that went far past the pages of any textbook. The professors valued our input as we attempted to postulate reasons for everything from color used in frescoes to unique rooms seen in palaces.
This teaching style acknowledged the ambiguity of some archeological problems and reminded us to question interpretations and historical facts, which made solving the mysteries of the past even more exciting.
I also valued having the opportunity to study abroad and explore new interests for it aided me in a career sense. Though we were not learning first fundamentals or mathematical methods to solve engineering problems, we were learning how to function in a different culture. We gained an awareness of how people who live outside the United States see us, and how we can act to be sensitive to cultural differences. This type of skill is essential in any workplace, international or domestic and was always something that was excellent to write about for applications and to talk about during interviews. Learning how to function in a foreign country can be a difficult task and accomplishing this task can be a rewarding experience that makes the person more confident.
Studying abroad has made me a more confident person, and by the end of my study abroad trip I was able to use the Irakleon bus system to travel by myself to the Crete Natural History Museum, and I was pretending to be Greek as I would buy ice cream from the vendors on the street since I could say, "Can I please have that ice cream?" and "Thank you" by that point. I don't know if I fooled anyone, but I like to pretend that I did.

Katherine Loeck, a junior majoring in Journalism and International Studies, writes about her experience studying abroad through the 2005 Language and Culture in Paris, France Summer Institute.
What was my favorite part about studying abroad? Fete de la musique, an annual music festival when bands line the streets of every town in France playing music into the warm June night. The beaches of Eretat where the cliffs and stony beaches of the English Channel take your breath away. Sipping wine along the Seine in the company of some of the most interesting people I've ever met. Sleeping on the grass underneath the dancing lights of the Eiffel Tour, Learning to study myself and a culture that I love while seeing a different side of the world.
The list of memories goes on and on because this six week fieldtrip was the time of my life. Of course the sightseeing was beautiful, the food was delicious and the wine was legally sweet but studying abroad is not just a change of scenery.The experience is a change in perception, learning and lifestyle.I spent two weeks traveling in the western part of France and then took classes in Paris for four weeks.I was also fortunate enough to take weekend trips to Nice and Rome.After all was said and done, I returned to Kansas a different person.
On-location language experience... priceless
Kelsey Coon, a junior at KU participated in the 2005 Advanced German Language in Holzkirchen Summer Institute.
I'll start out by saying that any study abroad experience is priceless. Obviously, there is nothing like getting on-location language experience. If you decide you really want to learn it, you will without a doubt. From the first second I met my host family I spoke to them exclusively in German, even though they both spoke fluent English. Almost all of the younger Germans speak English, so it was my responsibility to remind myself that I was there to practice German. When I left my purse in one of the Pizza Huts in Munich, I spoke frantic, far-from-perfect German to my host parents to beg them for help in getting it back (which I did; and a huge danke to the servers there who found it and didn't steal a single thing)
Later I prepared to visit one of my high school's former German exchange students while searching German language websites and going through the boarding process without using a word of English. With each day I understood more. My host family always had the radio on during the day, so I got used to hearing German music. By the end of the summer, I could understand the words to the all the refrains and some of the verses of the songs.
Studying abroad gave me the opportunity to experience a language that I have studied for five years in a completely different light. The benefits of going abroad are unavailable in the classroom. I love it when I tell people that I studied in France and their first comment is "those rude bastards."Au contraire mon frère, an open mind can take you many places. I plan on going abroad again next spring to Angers because my summer program was so amazing and rewarding that I can't wait to go back.The trip really opened up my intellectual curiosity, encouraging me to further explore the culture and language.
Last year I was unsure about my major and my academic passions but after this summer I realized that French and France was it. What did I learn from studying abroad? I learned about beauty and people and life.Through hard work and practice I gained important skills that I broke back to KU this fall. After being back in the States several months, I realize that if you open your ears to other cultures, you will learn much your own. There is a whole world out tha yourself.
Information Meeting
German Language and Culture Programs in Eutin and Holzkirchen Thursday, February 16 10:30-11:30 a.m. German Dept. Conference Room (Wescoe 2085)
By far the best part of the entire experience was getting to know my host family. The people you meet are the most important and exciting element to the study abroad experience. My host father Olaf invited me to run with his firm in a race for all businesses in the Munich area. On the way to the 1972 Olympic stadium we talked about his music tastes (Meatloaf and Journey) and his former work with the UN in Brussels. He also made a special trip into Munich to pick me up from the airport when I returned from visiting the exchange student. Susanne, my host mother, sat up late with me every night to talk and took me on a walk around a mountain lake. With my 6-year-old host sister Anne, I played different card games, colored, went to the playground, and held hands with her everywhere we went. It was so sad leaving them at the airport. In just 8 weeks time I had become a member of the family. Anne sent me two pictures she colored for Christmas and a copy of the German version ofThe Emperor's New Groove, and in the letter Susanne mentioned they would be coming to visit this summer!

Going home and leaving a home behind
Heather Wurtz studied abroad in Granada, Spain for the 2004-2005 academic year and also traveled to Morocco.
Heather traveled to Morocco during her study abroad experience. She took this photo of Rabat city through an archway.
But, now, in retrospect, that was just the first valiant step of a long journey, the only step one can really take into the unknown abyss of what is to come before us. That one step, though I did not know it at the time, has undoubtedly changed my life.
I realized a long time ago that I wasn't in Kansas anymore. Over a year ago I boarded a plane to Spain, for the first time leaving my home to live in a new location, a new culture for that matter, and with not a single friend and only a minimal knowledge of the language, all that I had was a spirit of determination and a bag full of nerves.
I will leave this home one-year wiser to the world, and one year wiser to the part I am contributing. For, not only have I undergone a journey into a new lifestyle in another country, but I have also undergone an emotional and spiritual journey of self-discovery. For when you study abroad, you are disconnected from everything you have known before. All of a sudden, you don't know a single soul, you must accustom yourself to cultural changes you never anticipated, and you are confronted with challenges that before were non-existent in your life.
While studying abroad, you become very aware of your own strengths and weaknesses and you must take them both with equal respect to learn from them. Learning another language, especially, is a very humbling process. I experienced my fair share of discouragement and self-doubt, but that made my times of progression and growth that much sweeter.
I have learned to speak another language and become part of another culture, but I have also found my baraka which means blessings of God in Arabic. I have found the value of true human connection- something that can go beyond words and into an intuitive awareness and compassion of others; I have found friendships that
come and go but are never forgotten. I took classes in Granada, but the life experiences have been the greatest lessons yet. And I cannot imagine not having chosen Granada. Where else can you find free tapas, a spot to pass time with friends that overlooks the Alhambra, the crazy Andalusian accents, the Arabic influence and the multitude of sub-cultures that fill the narrow, winding streets of Southern Spain?
Soon, I will be on a plane with memories, photos, and maybe a little bag of nerves, going home and simultaneously leaving a home behind. And, man, there is no place like home- anybody's little red slippers can tell you that...
summer 2006 study abroad fair the world at your feet!

Gary Meenaghan studied at KU during the 2004-05 Academic Year as an exchange student from the University of Stirling, Scotland. Here he shares his experiences at KU.
Scotland and Kansas may be seen as direct opposites: Scotland, with its hilly, mountainous terrain, almost entirely surrounded by sea, frequently engulfed in cold - and usually wet - weather; Kansas, the heartland of America, 1500 miles from any coastline, technically proven to be flatter than a pancake and with 100 degree summers and bitter cold winters.
I study in Stirling. The campus is green. The people speak with a Scottish brogue, and my apartment is probably as close to William Wallace's memorial monument as you are likely to find. It has not always been like this though. In fact this time last year, I was living on the other side of the world in Lawrence. And I couldn't have been happier.
When it was confirmed that I could study at the University of Kansas on exchange, I was excited at the prospect of studying in America: A challenging experience, new people, independence, traveling...
hot weather! I soon started to speak with people about Kansas to try and get a head start. The impression given was that I would be stranded in the middle of nowhere with sunflowers as friends, plenty of space to park my tractor and nothing but a pair of red shoes to get me home. Thankfully, the people who told me this were very much mistaken.
You're likely thinking, what does he know; Lawrence is just like any other small, liberal city in America. Well, another great thing about Lawrence is that, because of its central location in the United States, the opportunities to travel are endless. I made several road trips in my year abroad and I can honestly say that there is no place like home. And I do call Lawrence home. It's my second home. My home from home.
At first Lawrence was full of strangers, but in very little time I realized that everyone is a stranger just waiting to be a friend. That is simply how the people in Lawrence are.
Where else can you go to a basketball game and instantly become an atom in the erupting volcano of crimson and blue? Where can you say 'hello' to someone at the start of the night and be their best friend by the end alcohol? Where else can you bursting address visit soon world?

Lawrence quite simply provided everything one could possibly wish for from an exchange program abroad. And more.
To see what life is like on the flip-side...you can study as an exchange student at Gary's university in Scotland by contacting the Office of Study Abroad.

A brief history of the heart
How this holiday of love got its start
BY ASHLEY PATE
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
When one thinks of Valentine's Day, the first thoughts that probably come to mind include flowers, chocolate, jewelry and Hallmark cards with elaborate poems professing love to one's significant other. None of these things, however, have to do with the history of the holiday
The history of Valentine's Day began in the third century when Claudius II came to power in the Roman Empire. According to historychannel.com, Claudius II "decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, and for this reason, he outlawed marriage for young men - his crop of potential soldiers." A priest named Valentine disagreed with the Emperor. He secretly married Christian couples, but was later jailed for breaking the law. Historychannel.com cites one legend where Valentine
met a young girl while jailed, perhaps the jailer's daughter, with whom he fell in love with. Catholic.org says, "[Valentine] was condemned to death when he tried to convert the Emperor." Before he died, however the Web site states, "it is alleged that he wrote [the young girl] a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine.'"
In A.D.296 he was beaten and stoned before eventually being beheaded.
According to Catholic.org, Valentine became the patron saint of affianced couples, beekeepers, engaged couples, epilepsy, fainting, greetings, happy marriages, love, lovers, plague, travelers, and young people. In A.D. 496, Pope Gelasius "marked Feb. 14 as a celebration in honor of [St. Valentine's] martyrdom," according to the Web site.
One of the oldest existing valentines is a poem written from a husband to his wife in 1415. Charles, Duke of Orleans from France, was captured at the Battle of Agincourt during the Hundreds Years' War and imprisoned, but still wrote a poem to his wife. That history of that poem is published in Chris Fletcher's 1000 Years of Literature.

history
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 3C
Catriona Finlayson, a senior press officer from the British Library in London, said that a 1477 letter written by Margery Brews is the "oldest known Valentine's message." Brews was engaged to John Paston, however her dowry was not sufficient. According to BBC News, Brews "asked her mother to put pressure on her father to increase her dowry - while at the same time telling John that if he loves her, he'll marry her anyway."
Even King Henry V, who led England from 1413-1422, wanted to give his beloved a valentine, too. He commissioned writer John Lydgate to create a valentine note to Catherine of Valois, of France.
Even though the king was sending valentines, Valentine's Day wasn't popularly celebrated until about the 17th century according to historychannel.com. During the middle of the 18th century, it "became common for friends and lovers in all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes." Valentine's Day crossed the ocean to America in the early 1700s.
Today, Valentine's Day is not only celebrated in America, but also in Canada Mexico, Britain, France and Australia.

LETTER LOVE The letter from Margery Brews to John Paston (in a slightly modernized version of the original text).
Letter XXXII. p. 210.
28th of August, 1624.
Unto my right well-beloved valentine John Paston, squire, be this bill delivered.
Right reverent and worshipful and my right well-beloved valentine, I recommend me unto you full heartedly, desiring to hear of your welfare, which I beseech Almighty God long for to preserve unto his pleasure and your hearts desire. And if it please you to hear of my welfare, I am not in good health of body nor of heart, nor shall I be till I hear from you.
For there knows no creature what pain that I endure, And even on the pain of
death I would reveal no more.
And my lady, my mother hath laboured the matter to my father full diligently, but she can no more get than you already know of, for which God knoweth I am full sorry. But if you love me, as I trust verily that you do, you will not leave me therefore. For even if you had not half the livelihood that you have, for to do the greatest labour that any woman alive might, I would not forsake you.And if you command me to keep me true wherever I go, indeed I will do all my might you to love and never anyone else.And if my friends say that I do
amiss, they shall not stop me from doing so. My heart me bids evermore to love you truly over all earthly things. And if they be never so angry, I trust it shall be better in time coming.
No more to you at this time, but the Holy Trinity have you in keeping. And I beseech you that this bill be not seen by any non earthly creature save only yourself. And this letter was written at Topcroft with full heavy heart.
Be your own Margery Brews

ROSES ARE VIOLET ISBLUE
Surviving solitude on a day not catered for singles
BY ANDREW J. GLENDINING
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Liz Pollard isn't a fan of Valentine's Day. "I just don't think a strong emphasis should be placed on celebrating feelings that many people express year-round. I don't need a holiday to tell someone how I feel," the Mound City sophomore said.
But the American consensus disagrees. With most shop fronts decked out in red and pink and couples all over the country partaking in the tradition of Valentine's Day, this holiday strongly emphasizes the need for relationships.
Cara Rogers, Louisburg sophomore.
said an ideal date on Valentine's Day is the traditional dinner by candlelight with wine and soft music. But for Rogers, being single this Valentine's Day doesn't mean she'll be alone, feeling unloved.
This optimistic view keeps Rogers from the gutter on February 14th. But many singles feel the pressure on V-Day.
"Valentine's Day is a special day set aside to let people know you care about them, even though you do that year-round," she said. "It's extra, like a reward, having a boyfriend on Valentine's Day. And if I'm single, I do the same thing I do every day."
"It's difficult to see all your friends with boyfriends," explained Carissa Pedigo, Wichita junior. She will be spending her Valentine's Day among friends at a bar with other singles.
Power in numbers, rather teaming with her single friends, allows Pedigo to enjoy Valentine's Day without becoming subject to "single syndrome," specifically that feeling that everyone else has succeeded in finding that special someone, leaving you alone as the odd man out.
To a point, it seems cruel to assume that everyone has found or is capable of finding a significant other. Surely we aren't all meant for steady relationships and locking down this early in life. The single population is forgetting
a key aspect, or maybe the logic behind Valentine's Day.
As Hope Otero, Garden City sophomore, put it, if you're single, "try to go with someone you have a crush on."
As the tale goes, Cupid shot two people who later fell in love. He didn't shoot two people who already had feelings for one another, that would be a waste of an arrow. Valentine's Day shouldn't leave you feeling incomplete. It should serve as motivation, to reach out and tell those you love your true feelings.
It's the perfect night to suggest a more intimate relationship with anyone you have your eye on.

Glendening's GUIDE TO GETTN' LUCKY
Valentine's Day is, unofficially, the craziest day of the year. As dawn breaks, the country erupts in blissful glee and people all around are flooded with flowers and candy.
Gifts are traded throughout the day until everyone's broke. Then, in a crazy drunken fury, everyone desperately tries to hook up. It's so great! I'm serious. If you hate wearing clothes and would like to take part in the biggest party of 2006, leave your bed and follow this guide:
Start preparing for this day at least a week in advance. First, call someone and set up a date for this special evening. Then make dinner reservations for two at a local eatery. The darker and more expensive, the better
If you're really crafty, or poor, you can bring the restaurant home and woo your mate with some ramen noodles or filet mignon, whichever's easiest for you.
It's prefectly alright to skip dinner because all anyone really wants is flowers and candy. Anything sweet will work. And again, the more expensive the better.
The same goes for the flowers, but if you time it right, the local cemetery will have a fine selection of flowers for the bargain hunters. A note on finding the perfect floral arrangement: In the past, roses worked best for this occasion. Plus, they're fun because different colors mean different things! Choose red to say "You're hot," pink to say "You're mediocre."
When the day arrives, shower your date with gifts, and if you're feeling nice, take your date out to eat. The specifics of the date or the gifts are not important.

Get close and try to keep a conversation going because silence is awkward as hell and now is a bad time for awkward.
Try to give your shack a warm, inviting glow with some low-level lighting. The soft light of a candle will give your pad a more comfortable feeling, and less like a dungeon. You can also enhance the mood with music. If you've never tried music in the bedroom, give it a shot.
If you don't like music with sex, you may have some kind of morbid grunting fetish. In that case, head over to the anthropology department because I think they're looking for you. Make sure not to allow the music to drown out everything else. Music is just another element for your partner to enjoy.
The evening should start to add up by this point with the gifts, the dinner, and a little Postal Service playing in the background. If you're still having trouble making the end result painfully obvious, you should offer a massage. All you have to remember is to move into it slowly and read your partner. Body language will tell you everything you want to know.
Have fun. Experiment. Snap candid photos with your cell phone and hit me with some pictures. Remember that Valentine's Day is a day of love, so get out there and love someone.

Date on a dime
BY BETTY KASPAR editor@kansan.com KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
The average American spends $99.24 on Valentine's Day according to the St. Louis Business Journal. Unfortunately for college students, some do not have that kind of money to spend on significant others. No matter what spectrum of the spending curve you are on, here are some ideas to make your Valentine's Day special.
Many people want to stick to the traditional roses and candy which can be fairly expensive. However, there are ways you can still be a traditionalist and still save money. If you would like to stay really cheap, stores like Wal-Mart, 3300 S. Iowa St., and Target, 3201 S. Iowa St., sell individual flowers and small bouquets. An individual rose can start as low a $1. The downfall to buying from a superstore is that the flowers may not be near the quality you could get from a florist and will not last as long.
For those of you interested in the candy route, Russell Stover Candies, 300 W. 23rd St., has boxes of chocolate starting at $.99 and chocolate gift baskets starting at $10.
KANSAN.COM The University Daily Korean
Look online for more tips on how to plan a date on a budget
If you want to steer away from the typical flowers and candy, you have many options no matter what your budget is.
Nothing says you care as putting time and effort into a gift. A perfect way to do this is to make a gift that can be inexpensive and your loved one is sure to appreciate it.
Love coupons allow for Valentine's Day to be special after the day is over. Ideas for coupons are endless, but some ideas could include giving a back rub, a date night, a foot massage, get out of a fight free card or something a bit more risqué for those who want a more playful Valentine's Day. The cost of the gift is spare paper and crayons.
You can also try to put your feelings into words and write your loved one a poem or love letter. This will allow your loved one to appreciate the feelings you felt long after Valentine's Day has ended. All you need to do is pick up a pen and
some paper.
If you have many pictures of you and your loved one, it's a great opportunity to make a scrapbook. Include pictures, memories of old dates, or quotes from songs or movies that remind you of that person. You can make your own scrapbook out of construction paper if you want to save a lot of money.
Make a card with all the trimmings and with a special message inside. Double the effect that a card has by sending your lover an e-Card.
Gifts are not the only thing on Valentine's Day that can strain your wallet.
The date itself can be fairly costly. However, you can still have a great time without spending too much money.
Staying at home allows you to have the intimacy of one-on-one time.
Even though it is in a familiar atmosphere, you can still make the evening special.
If you live in a residence hall,you probably don't have the opportunity to make a five-star meal.
You can still set a mood, with lighting you can put up Christmas lights and turn off the overhead light. Buy refrigerated or frozen food that allows you to have something different than the food from
the cafeteria and is easy to create. Don't forget to ask your roommate for a little privacy.
Do something you wouldn't normally do for your significant other. Maybe watch a game or SportsCenter or watch an episode of Oprah or Desperate Housewives. Either way, it's a win-win situation; you are spending time with the person you care about and doing something special for him or her.
If staying in doesn't sound like your idea of a good Valentine's Day, you can still go out and have a good time while showing off your loved one in public.
It is a bit cliché, but picnics are always a cute way to have a nice afternoon. You can make it as formal as you like with a main course meal or as simple as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The point of a picnic is to enjoy one another's company. If weather does not permit for a real picnic in the park, you can always take it to a gazebo or porch.
Go to the park and take a stroll, explore Massachusetts Street or other parts of Lawrence that you may not be familiar with.
Enjoy the city as you take pleasure in being together and learning a little bit more about the place you live.
Go to a place that serves ice cream and share an ice cream sundae. It brings you physically close together as you share it from one container.

KANSAN.COM Look online for recipes on holiday aphrodisiacs A STAY AT-HOME VALENTINE'S
BY ERIN CASTANEDA editor@kansan.com KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Hallmark holiday, overrated, romantic, sexy. Every year Valentine's Day meets a spectrum of reac
tions. Some couples plan ahead for their love fest and others barely remember. Whether you decide to paint the town red, be catered at a restaurant or watch movies, nothing says "I love you" better than a romantic evening at home.
Spending some time together in the kitchen may reveal some interesting things to you.
You can taste test a new relationship or perfect your kitchen dance.
Derek Zarda, Shawnee senior, said he liked cooking because the couple
could do it together and if the lady cannot cook he can help her look like she know what she's doing.
Also, working in the kitchen, with the aromas, heat and passion, could lead to the perfect recipe for foreplay.
"Nibbling or anything that involves your mouth is a good idea," said Erin Bryan, Lenexa freshman.
And while a simple pasta dish and wine may lure you in, try incorporating some natural aphrodisias into your meal. Foods such as salmon, asparagus and chocolate are believed to arouse sexual pleasure.
Allison Halpin, Overland Park freshman, has a steak dinner, wine and tiramisu in mind.
Erin Bryan, Lenexa freshman and music aficionado would definitely choose something light to eat.
"Everyone thinks something meaty, but something light would be better. You don't want to be inhibited in the bedroom later." Bryan said
Bryan recommends warming up the night with smooth jazz before playing saucy salsa music.
Jesse Trimble, Colombus sophomore, and her significant other try to surprise one another each year. One year, he put rose petals all over Trimble's house and walked her in blindfolded to find a bouquet and present. This year the couple is considering making their favorite dish, Monterey Chicken.
Whatever your tastes, you can't go wrong when heating it up at home in the kitchen with your sweetheart.
- Edited by Gabriella Souza
Once you have warmed up in the kitchen...
Warm: Slow dance, make a valentine,
watch a romantic comedy, write or read
poetry, have an indoor picnic
Warmer: Spin the bottle, dress up in sexy outfits, bubble bath, massage, play a draking game.
Hot: You can buy these games from Priscilla's: Body Bingo ($16.95), Kinky Kards ($10.95), Lusti ($15.95), A Hot Affair ($29.95) Adult Game of the Year). You could also test your flexibility and try the Kama Sutra ($28.96), role play, take nude photos of one another or body paint.
You can also create your own love kits with items such as scented candles, lingerie, love coupons, blindfolds, feathers, handcuffs, poems, warming massage oil, sex dice, love mix CD, etc.
What Not to Do:
Watch ESPN or play videogames
Eat gaseous foods.
Drink too much
Keep phones and other distracting devices on
- Invite friends over (unless you're into that)

Men, I hope that you've started thinking about Valentine's Day gifts for your significant other. Although Valentine's Day is a day of displaying mutual affection for one another, it has become a holiday, in our culture, of the gift-giving done primarily by the males. But don't fear guys, according to www.steakandbjday.com, exactly one month after Valentine's Day

is "Steak and a Blowjob Day." A day dedicated to the girl in your life taking you out for dinner and perhaps giving you some sexual healing afterwards.
THE TRADITIONAL
Flowers
Red roses are still the prominent flower to give to the lady in your life. Cinda Garrison, owner of Prairie Patches, 821 Massachusetts St., confirmed the 2-1 ratio of roses over any other flower on Valentine's day.
The variety of the how red the rose is has changed.
"We've ordered the Freedom variety of red which replaces the old Charlotte variety." Garrison said.
She said the Freedom variety is a hotter-red rose.
Not up for roses? Tulips, and tropical flowers, such as orchids are big too.
According to Garrison, college students go for the gerberas, which are comparable to a large daisy.
"Men who are trying to impress women go for the tropical flowers because they have a higher perceived value," she said.
Adding items to flowers is very popular as well. Prairie Patches have add-ons including chocolate truffles, homemade cookies and singing bears.
Just a few suggestions...

Locally-owned Riverfront Chocolates, 1 Riverfront Plaza, is preparing for the upcoming holiday by offering limited edition strawberry truffles and chocolate
Chocolates
since 2001 and expects the chocolate-covered strawberries and specialty truffles to be the biggest seller this Valentine's Day.
"We will have one person dipping strawberries all day, that's all they'll do." Windholz said.
Among college students, heart-shaped boxes filled with chocolate and chocolate-covered strawberries are popular. Even though Valentine's Day is considered the ladies' special
day, an even number of men and
women come into the store looking for chocolate, but Windholz said men usually shop last minute.
A little extra
You've got the flowers and the chocolates and now you're looking for something to make your evening a little more romantic.
"Cards, grab bags and lingerie are the biggest sellers for Valentine's Day," said Jessica Wenberg, Olathe Sophomore, who works at an adult novelty shop in Lawrence.
If you want some mood-setting items, "pheromone candles also help set a romantic mood," she said
Even if you're single, she still recommends toys, with a just-do-it-yourself attitude.
One of her pet peeves during this holiday season are the men who come in and expect to get the perfect gift without having any ideas and don't know exactly what to get their girlfriends. Wenberg's advice: "Get her size, guys!"
NON-TRADITIONAL
Go for the gold:
Like to go the road less traveled? The best gift is going to be personal, creative useful, memorable or a combination of the four. If your heart is set on flowers, pick her favorite flower or something unique. Taking time to search makes this a personal and more memorable holiday.
Maybe you're a cook. Jason Ptaszek, Minnetonka, Minn., sophomore said that he would, "probably spend the afternoon cooking her favorite meal and then have a candle lit meal."
He said they would then spend the evening at home watching her favorite movie.
If you don't know her favorite meal, or aren't very skilled in the kitchen, pasta is always an easy way to go. Even if it doesn't turn out perfectly, it's the thought that counts.
Don't forget to buy some wine and light some candles to kick off your romantic evening.

wine time You don't have to be an expert, to impress your palate

The world of wine can be a little intimidating for the newcomer.
With thousands of different kinds of wines all with different ages, colors and flavors it might seem like an impossible feet to make the best selection.
But you don't have to be Dionysus to pick the best wine for Valentine's Day.
So before you sit down to that candlelight dinner with a special someone, there are some things to keep in mind when perusing the wine section.
"Go light and simple," said Michelle Meyer, co-owner of Holy-Field Vineyard in Basehor. Meyer suggests new wine drinkers not jump directly to the dry, red

While you may not be a wine expert, Goerdel suggests being honest and letting your waiter know how much you want to spend and the meal you plan to have. While recommendations can be helpful, Meyer said there's never a bad wine.
Thomas Goerdal, manager of Teller's, said Valentine's Day is one of their biggest days for wines because wine is more relaxing. It lets you enjoy the company more than beer, he said.
Goerdal estimates about 70 percent of Teller's guests choose to have some wine with their dinner on Valentine's Day.
For first timers, Goerdal suggests staying away from the pricey wines — anything more than $30. He said more expensive wines, which are richer and drier, have an acquired taste.
While price may play a major role in your wine selection, the important

thing to consider is your dinner.
Goerdal suggests having a Cabernet Sauvignon with red meat, to enhance the flavor. If it's something spicy on the menu, trying a German Gewurztraminer may be in order.
You can usually order wine at a restaurant by the bottle or by the glass. Cost for a glass at Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St., can run anywhere from $6 to $10 and bottles from $19 to $100. Goerdel said the prices are two-and-a-half to three times higher at restaurants than at a liquor store.
Spencer Duncan, owner of World Wine & Beer, 3106 S. Iowa St., said a quality bottle of wine at a reasonable price would run about $10 to $15.
On a day like Valentine's Day, the last thing to do is to forget your date when selecting a bottle of wine, Duncan said.
"Valentine's Day is a good day to keep it simple," he said. "It's not a day to experiment."
Popular wines for Valentine's Day correlate with the holiday's color. He said pink and red wines such as blush and rose are top sellers, as are dessert wines.
Duncan said rose and blush wines are not as heavy and very functional for new wine drinkers.
While you may not be a wine expert, Goerdel suggests being honest and letting your waiter know how much you want to spend and the meal you plan to have.
While recommendations can be helpful, Meyer said there's never a bad wine.
"You should be adventurous and try new things because there is always something new to try," she said.

Krause Dining
811 New Hampshire
785-838-9830
If you're the Hollywood type and enjoy exclusivity, this is the place to go. This popular restaurant, which has been raved about in many publications, has a reputation as Lawrence's finest gourmet restaurant, making it difficult to get a reservation unless you plan in advance.
Sure to please, Krause Dining resembles restaurants in Kansas City's Country Club Plaza.
The prices are big city as well, so if you're treating your valentine, make sure you come prepared to pay a stiff bill. The menu is well worth it though and you'll find yourself in for quite a night.
Pachamama's Behind Hy-Vee on Clinton Parkway 785-841-0990
Pachamama's restaurant offers a new-world take on fine dining.
High timbered ceilings and stone floors offer a rustic feel in this classy establishment.
Although the menu is high-priced, with entrée's in the upper $20 range, the food is gourmet and interesting.
Dishes are expertly prepared, and the presentation is absolutely beautiful with even simple dishes arranged in an artistic fashion.
While the entree's are only for those who prefer something a little different,
the desserts are tempting for any taste, so save room.
Teller's
746 Massachusetts
785-843-4111
This quaint restaurant offers the best of Lawrence's downtown atmosphere. Located right on Massachusetts Street, this old bank building is the perfect setting for a lovely evening of pure romance.
Towering ceilings and art give Teller's unsurpassed class and elegance, while the menu offers a wide selection of fine cuisine from steaks to Italian dishes. There is also an award winning selection of wines to choose from for the true connaisseur.
If your date goes well, Teller's is also conveniently open for breakfast, Monday through Saturday.
Although Teller's is not exactly easy on your wallet, it's delicious and quite impressive.
Hereford House
4931 6th St
785-842-2333
This classic Midwest steakhouse offers the finest cuts of steak at fairly decent prices. Casual and friendly, Hereford House boasts the best steaks around and is sure to impress your special someone, but it offers a less intimate atmosphere so groups of friends can share in the fun.
Even if you're not a fan of steak, there is always something on the menu you'll be sure to enjoy at this locally renowned restaurant.
Stone Creek
3801 W. 6th Street
785-830-8500
Stone Creek's casual atmosphere suggests a Rocky Mountain retreat that's cozy yet sophisticated.
With two levels, it offers a quiet place to enjoy your company as well as the food.
Appetizers such as the delicious spinach and cheese crab dip preclude a vast menu ranging from pizzas to Italian pasta to sandwiches to burgers. Although casual, the restaurant is quiet offering a quaint place to share in great food and great conversation as a two-some or with a group.
Cafe Beautiful
728 1/2 Mass., (upstairs)
785-THE-RICE
If you lovebirds enjoy fine sushi, this is the place for you. Many say it's the best sushi in town and if you visit Café Beautiful, you'll probably agree. It's located upstairs and has a cozy, informal atmosphere that lets you relax and enjoy yourselves.
More sociable than other restaurants, it offers four tables where you can sit to dine while getting to know the other
patrons sitting nearby. An absolute must for sushi lovers!
La Tropicana
434 Locust St.
785-749-3550
If you're in the mood to break tradition and experience something a little different, La Tropicana offers something a little south of the border.
This restaurant, located northeast of campus, offers traditional Mexican food that's much more authentic than what you'll find at generic restaurant chains. It's family owned and friendly, with a very authentic feel.
This cute cantina is brightly colored and moderately priced, which will make your Valentine's a fiesta to remember.
Thai House 724 Massachusetts
785-312-9991
The atmosphere is awesome at the Thai House, offering a quiet, upscale Southeast Asian feel right on Massachusetts Street.
Atmosphere, unfortunately, beats out the food. While the crab rangoon is phenomenal, the rest of the menu is just all right.
While you may not be adventurous enough to stay for a whole meal,it's definitely the spot for drinks and appetizers even if you're not up for an entrée.

Valentine's Day celebrations vary for Jayhawks from different countries
BY PATRICK LUIZ

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
A world full of love
If you are committed to someone on Feb. 14, you will almost certainly give and receive a Hallmark card and maybe other gifts. You might go out to dinner for a romantic evening.
But have you ever stopped and wondered how people in other countries celebrate Valentine's day? The Web site,
www.stvalentinesday.org, offers plenty of information about traditions around the world.
Additionally, the University of Kansas is home to so many international students that you can always get some firsthand information.
Because of globalization, Valentine's Day is now very similar all around the world, but local traditions make the difference.
Sonnets and tabloids
Great Britain was home to William
Shake- speare, so it's no surprise that weeks before Valentine's Day newspapers, magazines and tabloids
pers, magazines and tabloids start publishing sonnets and other forms of poetry.
British children also sing special songs and are rewarded with candy, fruit or money on the holiday. The British tabloids also use Valentine's Day to make jokes and utilize that famous British sense of "humour."
The consequences of French passion
In France, celebrating Valentine's Day is strictly for lovers.
"I was really surprised when I went into the Valentine's Day card section and saw mother to son cards. I suppose it's a kind of love, but we don't have these kinds of cards in France," said Sophie Delahaye, Paris, graduate student. "Valentine's Day there is celebrated only by lovers."
Historically, the French would celebrate the day with an interesting tradition known as "une loterie d'amour" or "a drawing for love." On Valentine's Day, single men and women, young and old, went into houses facing each other. Men and women would call out from one window to another and pair off. If the man wasn't particularly interested in his valentine, he would leave her. As a consequence, a bonfire was lit afterward where women would burn images of the men that didn't love them. This custom was eventually banned because of the

disturbances it caused.
Every Valentine's Day there is also a pilgrimage of lovers to the village of St. Valentin, the only town in France to bear the saint's name.
Couples take pictures and spend the day there together.
But some believe France is losing some of its passion during the holiday.
"I think we are basically reproducing the American culture, and it is getting more and more commercial," said Sylvaine Rivalland, Nantes, France, graduate student.
An equal number of unmarried men and women attend this festival in Scotland. Each person writes his or her name on a piece of paper and places it in a hat. There is one hat for men and one for women.
Each person draws a name from the opposite hat. If names don't match, the man usually pairs up with the woman who drew his name. After everyone is paired, each woman pins the name of her partner over her heart. There is dancing and, sometimes, even weddings at the festival.
In Denmark, people send pressed white flowers — called Snowdrops to their friends. There is also a form of valentine called the "gaekkebrev" or "joking letter."

Scottish love festival
In Brazil, Valentine's Day is more about couples, and if you're not dating anyone, it sucks. I think that's the main difference between both cultures. People are just as romantic here and there on Valentine's Day nothing to do with culture really."
Alva
Terena Silva Recife, Brazil, senior
The gaekkebrev consists of a penned rhyme. Instead of signing his name the sender signs with dots. Each dot represents a letter of the sender's name.
If the recipient guesses the name of the sender, she gets an Easter egg later in the year.
Rituals and saints
Brazil doesn't celebrate Valentine's Day on February 14th. "Dia dos Namorados," the "Day of the Enamored," is celebrated on June 12. It commemorates the day before Saint Anthony's day. He is known in Brazil as the marriage saint.
Unlike in the United States, only couples celebrate the day. There is no card exchange between family members or friends.
"In Brazil, Valentine's Day is more about couples, and if you're not dating anyone, it sucks. I think that's the main difference between both cultures. People are just as romantic here and there on
Valentine's Day, nothing to do with culture really," said Terena Silva, Recife, Brazil, senior.
7: The number of romance
The Chinese also celebrate Valentine's Day on a different day. The Chinese Valentine's Day is known as the "Festival of the Double Sevens", or "Qi Xi." The festival is celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month on the Chinese calendar.
This year's festival will be celebrated on Aug. 11. It's a rich and colorful celebration. Young women usually showcase their domestic arts, like melon carving. Couples visit and pray for their love at the Temple of Matchmaker.
People who are single also visit the temple and ask for luck finding love.
Japan's two Valentine's Days
In Japan, there are two different dates for Valentine's Day: Feb. 14 and Mar. 14. In February, women give gifts to
"I Love You" Around the World

♥ Italian Ti amo
♥ French Je t'aime

their lovers — or any man close to them. Men return the favor in March. Japanese women can give two different kinds of chocolate to men. The first one is called girl-choco and is given to friends and bosses. The second one is called honmei and is given to husbands and boyfriends. While girl-choco is bought more as an obligation, hon-mei chocolate is homemade and considered special.
"In Japan, as the day comes closer, boys start to behave well and gently for girls because they want to get as many chocolates as they can," said Yumi Ujihara, Chiba, Japan, junior.
"The day is considered a special day, which girls can officially tell their feelings to the guys who they like. This is because Japanese girls are traditionally seen as more passive and submissive than boys," she said.

That is why he couldn't believe it when he never saw her again after that Valentine's Day. Not a word of explanation.
BY DAVID LINHARDT
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Elson Trinidad told it like a hater should.
The formula was simple: beautiful girl, every moment was like a dream, long-stemmed roses—it was perfect. Trinidad outlined the Valentine's Day turnaround from heaven to hater-ville in the University of Southern California's Daily Trojan.
"I intended to make the most of the day," Trinidad wrote. "But the moment I set foot in her house, I knew something wasn't right."
Dressed in his best "impress the parents" clothes, Trinidad didn't under-
"I'm not preaching hate to the world." Trinidad wrote. "Love is a rose all right. It's got thorns."
While Valentine's day is the official holiday of love, some University of Kansas students just aren't into Valentine's Day at all. They don't love or hate the holiday—or even celebrate it.
"It's just another day for me," said Danielle Firsching, Wichita senior. "I'm not planning anything. I don't even remember what day of the week it's on."
Other students take a philosophical approach to being anti-Valentine. Megan Wesley, Hutchinson senior, said Valentine's Day shouldn't even be a holiday because not everyone can share it.
"You're excited about Thanksgiving and Christmas every year. These holidays you anticipate and you're excited when they arrive," Wesley said. "But
with Valentine's Day, you're not if you don't have a significant other."
Wesley said singles shouldn't mope because they lack a significant other in the romance month. During past periods of singleness, Wesley went out and celebrated with other female friends on Valentine's Day. Though Wesley has a Valentine this year, she still sees many women using the day as a time to party with friends.
Wesley said Valentine's Day is a great day for guys to go out because all those single ladies will be at the bar.
A search for "Valentine hater" on Google turned up more than 200,000 results. That's a lot of hating. Internet newsgroups also talked up the hatred. Groups like alt.support.depression have dozens of messages of Valentine hate or despondency.
"It seems like everybody is happily or unhappily paired off except for me," a user named Diana wrote. "Valentine's Day is not even here yet and already, I want to climb under a rock."
For the country's finest haters, a group called the Black Hearts Party organizes a yearly party in New York City. The anti-Valentine event grew so large that it is now invitation only and everyone wears black, or Black Hearts will fine partiers $50.

LEGISLATURE
House OKs bill
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
f davis@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
An anti-abortion amendment added to a bill intended to improve student health insurance created quite a buzz on Tuesday. How quickly a 110-14 vote quelled that buzz.
On Wednesday, the Kansas House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the bill that would grant the Board of Regents the authority to purchase health insurance coverage for its six member institutions — of which the University of Kansas is one.
The bill was initiated by the Regents after hearing a proposal from Provest David Shulenburger that detailed the need for better coverage for students, graduate teaching assistants and graduate research assistants. The bill was introduced to the House on Jan. 11.
Rep. Richard Kelsey (R-Godard) introduced the anti-abortion amendment on the House floor Tuesday morning to the shock of nearly everyone in attendance.
Amendment debate on hold
"Since the state helps fund the insurance for students," Kelsey said, "I don't want the state paying for abortions."
Rep. Annie Kuether (D-Topeka) disagreed with the amendment proposal and voted against it. Kuether was also among the few who voted against the bill, citing the grounds of the amendment, not the bill itself. She said it was not up to the legislature to decide what a person could do with his or her body.
Rep. Tom Sloan (R-Lawrence) who voiced his discontent about the amendment on Tuesday, voted for the bill's passage on Wednesday. He said he voted for the bill to keep it moving, but also said he would do his best to get the amendment removed. Sloan said he liked the core of
the bill, but disagreed with the amendment.
"I think it jeopardizes a timely provision of health insurance options to students," he said "because I anticipate there would be a lawsuit over the language of it."
He said it did not take into account the possibility of abortion due to risky pregnancies, rape or incest-related situations.
Kelsey argued that his amendment did not prohibit medical attention for risky pregnancies.
"Show me a health insurance policy that does cover abortions," Kelsey said. "It's a cash business, have you ever heard of an abortion clinic taking insurance?"
The bill now heads to the Kansas Senate Education Committee for review before being presented to the Senate.

Group wants better busing
BY KRISTEN JARBOE
kjarboe@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
AbleHawks will be able to serve disabled KU students better through Student Senate. It will now have a voice on the board that sets policies for KU on Wheels.
AbleHawks would like to see buses with more accessibility to those with disabilities, said Zach Coble, AbleHawks vice president.
Previously no one filled either position on the board because of scheduling conflicts among the students.
"This includes students who are visually impaired, hearing impaired or mobility impaired," he said. "If someone is in a wheelchair, I think there should be a lift for them on the bus."
"It's really important to get a KU student on the board," said Derek Zarda, AbleHawks president. "We need to have a voice for students with disabilities. We're really pushing for this."
Zarda said he visited other schools, such as Michigan State University, that have busing systems that were better equipped for students with disabilities.
"Those systems seem to put KU on Wheels behind the times," he said. "For example, if the bus driver is coming to a stop, he would say his location on the intercom so that the visually impaired student can hear where he's at."
AbleHawks would also like to see the LiftVans available not just for transportation to
classes, but for other activities, such as on campus meetings, as well. The LiftVans are the current means of transportation for students with wheelchairs.
The Transit Steering Committee brought in a bus from the Wichita Optima Bus Corporation last week that showed an example of an adequately equipped bus for people with disabilities. It has a lift-equipped ramp at the front door that lands at ground level, the same height as the sidewalk.
Department director Donna Hultine said that the KU Parking Department wanted to buy buses, which were similarly accessible. Jessica Mortinger, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said retrofitting the buses with new equipment was another possibility, but funding was an issue.
"With enough money the buses could definitely be retrofitted," she said. "But the second question is, 'Who is going to pay for them?'"
AbleHawks, which raises awareness for students with disabilities, will have two people on the Student Senate Transportation Board: one person to attend the meetings and another to complete two hours of office work per week.
Zarda said the buses worked for some of the students, even most of the students, but not for everyone.
"Why can't they be beneficial to all students?" he said. "We all pay the same tuition."

Trash canned at Lawrence locations

KANSAN SAFT WRITER
While it might seem more convenient for college students to carry their garbage out to the dumpster or wait for the free garbage pickup, there are other ways to help the environment using little time and space.
Lawrence has more than 15 drop-off centers where community recycling takes place. The Wal-Mart Community Recycling Center, which reopened on Dec. 13, and the 12th and Haskell Bargain Center, are two of Lawrence's biggest drop-off spots, Mollie Mangerich, operations supervisor of Lawrence Waste Reduction and Recycling, said. Other centers can be found on its Web site, at www.lawrencerecycles.org
Five curbside residential recycling sectors are also available for students living anywhere off-campus, but for a fee. Chris Scafe, owner of Sunflower Curbside Recycling, charges $16 a month for weekly pickup service or $8 a month for bi-weekly service.
Ryan Jaco, Kansas City, Mo., senior, said that students didn't recycle to dropoff centers primarily because they were lazy and didn't want to take the time out of their schedules.
"It is a hassle, but I think it's important and that's why I do it," she said.
Jaco recycles on her own every week and a half, taking her recycling to the 12th and Haskell Bargain Center because
the money they give in exchange for the products goes to Habitat for Humanity.
Bringing reusable items to these centers takes only a few spare minutes, but it helps the environmental cause. Cell phones, computers, disposable cameras, car batteries and tires can also be recycled at Lawrence Waste Reduction and Recycling.
eBay has created Rethink, a program which focuses on the reusability of old computers, cell phones and other electronics. Rethink is a spin-off from ewaste, a way to use electronic waste for good use. The electronics can be traded in, donated or even bought over eBay.
These products contain hazardous materials and can have negative effects on the environment, but only 15 percent of people are aware that recycling of these products is available where they live, according to December 2004 findings from ACNielsen International Research, a marketing research company.
Students hanging out on campus might have the easiest way to help the environment. The KU Environmental Stewardship Program provides recycling containers at more than 100 buildings on campus. Students pay $3 included with their tuition fees for these containers to be available on campus. Student Senate and University of Kansas administration also provide funds, said Jeff Severin, KU environmental services manager.

Mango Tan owner Kristi Lawrence organizes a table of tanning lotion in the new addition to the store. The salon is the official tanning salon of the Women of KU calendar models.
Salon sponsorship aids expansion

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kristi Lawrence admitted that she was anxious about the dust on the floor. The sun shining through the glass doors highlighted a thin layer of sawdust that otherwise would've went unnoticed.
"There's just no clean way to do construction," Lawrence said.
Lawrence owns and manages Mango Tan, 4000 W. Sixth St. Last week she opened the salon's new addition in the space previously occupied by The Cup. Since Mango Tan became the official tanning salon of the Women of KU calendar models two years ago, the business has done well enough to warrant expansion into the space next door.
Though reluctant to credit only the models, Lawrence was willing to acknowledge the girls' endorsement of Mango Tan as one reason behind its recent success.
dar model said, "Mango Tan really makes me feel comfortable tanning there and promoting it to other people."
The Topeka senior lives in Kansas City, Kan., and is finishing her degree at the University of Kansas. She had only good things to say about Mango Tan.
Loni Berry, May 2006 calen-
"I think the other women who live here and tan here really help," Berry said. "I hope that we had some kind of part in it."
Lawrence said she was approached to sponsor the Women of KU models two years ago. Under the sponsorship, the models tan for free during the school year.
"In turn, they're out as kind of like a walking, talking advertisement for us," Lawrence said. "It's kind of a win-win situation for both sides. It definitely helps because so many students tan here. Word of mouth is the best advertisement you can get."
two-and-a-half years in business, in a college town full of tanning salons, most of which are much closer to campus.
Lawrence was surprised how quickly Mango Tan expanded in
"When we opened our doors a few years ago, we didn't think that we'd be catering to as many students as we are." Lawrence said. "We didn't think they'd come this far west."
Lawrence estimates that half of the 17-person staff are KU students.
Mary Noulles, Tulsa, Okla., sophomore has worked there since August of last year. She said she'd noticed a fairly weighty increase of traffic at Mango Tan, especially after word broke about the expansion.
"When I came back from Christmas break and started working, I noticed that in the past few weeks we've sold over $1,000 in packages," Nouilles said. "I can definitely see a huge increase. I'm always cleaning beds, and there's always someone in here. It's nice."

able to add tanning beds. Now there are 13 beds in the salon.
"It's helped our staff because we don't have as many phone calls and it helps the students because they don't have to kill themselves getting to their appointments on time," Lawrence said.
Even with the models' endorsement of the salon and the new addition, Lawrence said word-of-mouth doesn't reach everyone.
"It still amazes me," she said, "that even after two and a half years, people will still come by here — in one of the busiest shopping centers in Lawrence — and be like,'hey did you guys just get here?"

Social welfare school will get dean from LSU
Mary Kondrat, dean of Louisiana State University's School of Social Work, has been named as the new dean of the School of Social Welfare.
Kondrat will succeed Ann Weick, who announced she would step down last year after nearly 19 years as dean.
Kondrat
"Dean Kondrat is an experienced dean with proven
ability. Her interest in promoting international research and study abroad and in promoting interdisciplinary research fit well into the central themes of this university." Provost David Shulenburger said in a press release.
Kondrat has been at LSU since 2003. While at LSU, she initiated and oversaw the School of Social Work's inaugural Community Campaign, which targeted foundations and donors for fund raising and initiated a focused minority recruitment strategy.
Kondrat said she was excited about becoming the dean of the School of Social Welfare at the University.
"It is a privilege for me to be able to work together with this outstanding faculty and staff to enhance the school's already excellent educational and research programs," she said.

Commissioner praises education program
Kansas Education Commissioner Bob Corkins said on Wednesday that the University of Kansas' newest change in the education system, growth modeling, is one step better than the national No Child Left Behind program Wednesday.
Growth modeling is a program designed to record the individual improvement of each student rather than No Child Left Behind's monitoring of the progress of groups of students.
"Growth modeling is, I believe, a very dramatic improvement," he said.
He spoke at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building for a University forum.
He said growth modeling allowed education to be tailored to each student, making "time the variable" and "learning the constant" rather than the opposite, which he said was the case in education today.
He said that for the past year, the state had been putting together profiles of students to start tracking their progress. He said that with the information, the state would be able to identify the problems within the education system and make improvements.
"Research is the key, in my mind, benefit of this," he said about the program. "Students will be able to progress at their own pace."
Corkins also addressed his first four months in office.
He said about the educators and the state, "Their defensiveness right off the bat led me to be defensive."

Investors questioned Enron's strength
Nine months before Enron Corp. flamed out in bankruptcy, some investors were questioning the strength of its businesses despite public assurances from company founder Kenneth Lay and former CEO Jeffrey Skilling that all was well, jurors in their fraud and conspiracy trial learned Wednesday.
Those questions and a stock price that dropped to less than $60 per share from its high of $90 in August 2000 prompted Skilling to hold a conference call in March 2001 to reassure Wall Street that Enron was healthy.
Prosecutors have played clips of videos to bolster allegations that Skilling and Lay lied about Enron's financial health.

McDonald's unveils the truth about fries
BY DAVE CARPENTER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — McDonald's french fries just got fatter — by nutritional measurement.
The world's largest restaurant chain said Wednesday its fries contain a third more trans fats than it previously knew, citing results of a new testing method it began using in December.
That means the level of potentially artery-clogging trans fat in a portion of large fries is eight grams, up from six, with total fat increasing to 30 grams from 25.
McDonald's Corp. starts rolling out packaging for its menu items that contain facts about their nutritional content — a move made voluntarily but with the fast-food industry under pressure from consumer groups and the government to provide more information.
The disclosure comes as
McDonald's said it updated the nutrition info on its Web site last month as soon as it discovered the new level of trans fat. It explained the increase by saying an improvement in the testing process has made results more accurate.
Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest,
called the change "quite a dramatic increase."
He renewed the nonprofit health advocacy group's call for McDonald's and other fastfood chains to make healthier food — and for the Food and Drug Administration to ban the use of partially hydrogenated oil, the source of trans fat.
McDonald's pledged in September 2002 to switch to a new oil that would halve the level of harmful trans fatty acid in its fries. But it has delayed those plans, citing product quality and customer satisfaction as priorities while continuing testing.

Attorney interprets statute
BY ROXANA HEGEMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — Sedgwick County's top prosecutor testified Wednesday that health care providers and others should not substitute their own judgment and fail to report all consensual sexual activities between underage minors.
"There is no right to privacy when a crime has been committed," Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston said.
Foulson is a co-defendant in the federal lawsuit brought
by the Center for Reproductive Rights. The New York advocacy group is challenging the constitutionality of a 2003 opinion by Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline that the state's mandatory reporting law requires health care providers to report consensual sex between similarly aged minors.
In Kansas, the age of consent is 16.
Foulston testified that Kline's opinion had no effect on her office.
In its lawsuit, the Center for Reproductive Rights contends
Kline's office contends in the lawsuit that only "significant sexual conduct" such as vaginal or anal intercourse and oral sex among willing adolescents must be reported.
the Kline opinion discourages adolescents from seeking counseling or medical treatment such as contraception while violating their right to informational privacy.
Foulston takes an even stricter interpretation of the state's forced reporting statute.
ual activities between underage adolescents. That would include a boy touching the breast of a girl, or either adolescent touching the genitals of the other.
She testified that the law requires reporting of all illegal sex-
The state's forced reporting law requires professionals who deal with children including doctors, dentists, teachers, school administrators, social workers, psychologists, firefighters, law enforcement and day care workers, among others — to report suspected instances where a child was injured due to abuse or neglect.
POLITICS
"There are some that, frankly, whose policies would make us look more like Europe than we should, and that is kind of a centralization of power," Bush said in a visit Wednesday to tax-averse New Hampshire. "The surest way to centralize power is to take more of your own money to Washington."
Bush signs bill defends budget
He defended his budget blueprint for the coming fiscal year in the face of critics from both parties who say he is shaving too much from Medicare and other programs. He said his critics are thinking like free-spending Europeans.
BY NEDRA PICKLER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bush's proposal for the budget year that begins Oct. 1 asks Congress to trim Medicare spending by $35.9 billion over five years, allowing the program to grow at a rate of 7.7 percent instead of 8.1 percent currently projected.
WASHINGTON President Bush signed a measure Wednesday that trims Medicaid and Medicare spending over the next five years, but he said Congress must make bigger changes as baby boomers retire.
Bush said programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are the biggest long-term challenge to the budget. Even after the cuts he signed into law, the growth rates projected for the programs are not sustainable, he said.
"That will leave future generations with impossible choices — staggering tax increases, immense deficits, or deep cuts in every category of spending," the president said.
"It is the difference between slowing your car down to the speed limit, or putting your car into reverse," Bush said both at the White House and before the Business and Industry Association in Manchester, N.H.
The bill he signed is a left-over measure from his 2005 agenda. The measure aims to trim $39 billion out of the budget over five years, partly through small cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and student loan subsidies.
The bill also:
Renews the 1996 welfare overhaul bill.
Cuts $11.9 billion in student loan subsidies.
Aims to raise $10 billion in new revenues from auctioning television airwaves in wireless companies.
- Includes $1 billion in new spending to extend an income subsidy program for dairy farmers.
The $39 billion in cuts in the bill are generally small — a 0.4 percent cut in total Medicaid money and 0.3 percent cut from Medicare over five years
— compared with deficits expected to total $1.3 trillion or more through 2010. But Bush said it will save an average of about $300 per taxpayer over the five years.
Democrats said the measure was an assault on college students and the elderly and disabled who rely on Medicaid to pay for their health care. They said the bill, which was written in private, was evidence of the undue influence of corporate interests such as insurance companies and drug manufacturers.

OUR OPINION
Bus system leaves students behind
PAGE 5A
KU on Wheels buses, the campus buses that take students to class, aren't handicap accessible. To accommodate handicapped students' transportation needs, KU on Wheels offers vans that pick up students and take them to class.
However, if a student misses their pick-up twice, KU on Wheels won't pick them up anymore.
Students sleep in; sometimes they miss the bus and they don't get to class. It's a fact of life for college students. But if you're a handicapped student and miss your alarm twice, you no longer have a service to take you to class
It's not that KU on Wheels is being mean to students with transportation needs its buses can't handle. But the organization, which is run through student money by KU students, needs the policy to manage its rides.
The situation ends up being unfortunate for any handicapped student who loses his or her ride privileges. And it unfairly, though not intentionally, targets these students. Any student who simply misses the bus, no matter how many times, gets to keep his or her bus pass.
So it's a problem of resources, not policy.
Issue: Handicap accessibility and KU on Wheels
Stance: KU on Wheels should combine with the 'T' to improve.
With both services acting with each other, instead of independently, more vans would be available to take handicapped students to class.
One way to increase the resources of KU on Wheels and end this problem is to combine with the Lawrence Public Transportation, the 'T.'
The 'T' has 14 partransit vans it uses for its T Lift service, compared to only two for KU on Wheels.
With more resources and more rides, the stringent two strikes and your out policy wouldn't need to stay in effect.
And handicapped students wouldn't be held to a higher standard than other KU students.

Ponder gender more to improve overall
COMMENTARY
One of the most important things we learn in college is how to deal with and function within the context of gender. It is impossible to function properly in our society without a certain degree of sensitivity to and knowledge of gender. I am not directing this comment at any certain gender; we could all use a greater appreciation of the discrimination and challenges faced by women in the past and present.
We all know gender discrimination exists, but no one wants to talk about it. What is the best way to deal with this uncomfortable problem? Expand your horizons, push the boundaries of your current comfort zone and expose yourself to a new perspective.
P
Sometimes we have to be proactive about our own education. College is all about having new experiences and growing from them. But sometimes, what is presented to students in the classroom is an incomplete and tedious picture of reality and the possibility of social change.
In order to get the most from our university educations, we must actively seek a deeper knowledge and understanding of gender in society. The University of Kansas offers a wide range of opportunities that can help with this; one must only seek them out.

COMMENTARY
Government's siezure of search records justified
Since the inception of the USA PATRIOT Act in the wake of 9/11, many people have accused the U.S. government of taking on a Big Brother mentality. Recent revelations about NSA wiretapping have done nothing to put the accusation to rest. It comes as no surprise that the government's recent requests for Google to turn over information pertaining to Internet searches was immediately decried by many as yet another attempt by President Bush to destroy civil rights and to invade everyone's privacy.
Firstly, the subpoena served to Google by the government has nothing to do with trying to find enemies of the state. Instead it has to do with the Child Online Protection Act (COPA), according to government statements in a January USA Today article. This act was ruled unenforceable by the Supreme Court because it required all commercial Internet companies to block possible access by children to pornographic Web sites by requiring credit card numbers or other kinds of age verification. Although the act was ruled unenforceable, it was not declared unconstitutional, and it was sent back to a lower court to decide whether parental filters worked as well as what COPA proposed. In order to prove its case that filters were ineffective,
The only problem with this scenario is that the facts don't support it.

the government requested that top search engines submit a random list of Web sites that users searched for and general records of searches in order to try to show that many seemingly innocent searches would turn up pornographic results. In its request, the government didn't ask for any identifying information, but only what searches had been done in the span of a particular week and with what frequency, according to CNET News.
The ostensible reason for Google's defiance is that it is fighting for the rights of the little guy. Google's apparent concerns, however, are somewhat hollow because it is hypocritically saying on the one hand that its rights are being violated by innocuous requests for cooperation made by U.S. authorities while on the other hand it recently concluded a deal in which it is colluding with the
government of China, seemingly solely in order to increase its profits by entering the Chinese market
The real reason for Google's reluctance to release information, then seems to be because of certain information that the company doesn't want to get out. Not only is Google concerned that certain trade secrets could be acquired by the likes of Yahoo and Microsoft if it releases this information, but it is also worried that people might find out about how much Google itself invades everyone's privacy. For instance, ABC News reported in January that Google not only records and stores every search made by its search engine, but it also stores unique data that can identify the computer that made the search. The Sunday Times of London also reported that it keeps this information indefinitely. Furthermore, the Sunday Herald in Scotland
reported that Google searches for key words in all e-mails in its Gmail service so that it can place targeted ads. And for those of you using Google's toolbar, The Sunday Times of London reported that Google is keeping records of all of our searches in addition to every Web site that you visit.
Everyone should value their privacy and stand up for their rights to keep their personal information confidential, but before anyone believes the cries of outrage that Dick Cheney wants to see your what you're searching for on the internet, they should first take a long and hard look at what Google does everyday to destroy privacy on the Internet.

COMMENTARY
Stem cell initiative requires education
PENGUIN
ANDREW SOUKUP
opinion@kansan.com
Missouri may soon become a pioneering state in the area of stem cell research, especially amongst its Midwest counterparts. According to missouricures.com, a group called the Missouri Coalition for Lifesaving Cures is pushing a Constitutional amendment that will grant the right to perform embryonic stem cell research in Missouri by mandating the legislature to appropriate funding for embryonic stem cell research as it would for all other research.
The sponsoring group makes some pretty amazing claims about its ballot initiative. First, they say that it will outlaw cloning. In fact, the amendment clearly states, "No person may clone or attempt to clone a human being."
For a state in a predominately pro-life region, it is somewhat amazing to find that nearly 70 percent of Missouri voters support the referendum, according to the magazine "Law and Health Weekly." But, once the text of the proposed amendment is actually read, it is no surprise at all.
Secondly, the Missouri Coalition purports that the initiative will outlaw in vitro fertilization for use in stem cell research. Again, the amendment expressly states that "No human blastocyst may be produced by fertilization solely for the purpose of stem cell research." But, this text is so full of double speak that one cannot take this statement at face value. It goes on to say later in the amendment that the ban "does not include producing any number of human blastocysts for the purpose of treating human infertility," thus allowing unused blastocysts to be used for research.
The law does not really ban cloning. In fact, it only bans cloning for the purpose of reproduction while leaving the door wide open for somatic cell nuclear transfer (a.k.a. cloning).
A somewhat larger issue at stake is the responsibility of the parties involved with the proposal. They have played so much with the semantics of the relevant terms that one has to wonder if they are really being at all honest in their proposal.
They claim the move would bring cures to Missourians. However, could their real motives be the millions, if not billions, of research dollars at stake? Could their real motives have anything to do with the $300-million complex being designed by the Stowers Institute of Kansas City, which will be built in what stowers-institute.org calls "a jurisdiction favorable to stem cell research?"
It seems that there is more at stake here than just medical cures. Missouri needs to see through all the hype and get to the core of this issue, without all the fancy white-wash being done by its proponents.
The full text of the referendum can be found at missouri-cures.com/documents/Initiative.pdf.

By CJ MOORE

KANSAN SPORTSWRITER
The
Kansas coach Bill Self said Nebraska missed 17 shots within three feet the last time Kansas faced Nebraska in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas won by a modest 42 points.
6:41 — Freshman guard Mario Chalmers gets the steal and the dunk on the one-man fast break. Kansas leads 8-2 and is already covering the spread. Kansas defeated Nebraska by 42 the last meeting and was favored by only four tonight.
6:35 p.m. — Nebraska coach Barry Collier is sporting a red blazer. Did he find that jacket in Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl's closet or at the local Lincoln thrift store?
6:37 — Nebraska misses its first shot within three feet. One miss down, 16 to go.
7:16 — Collier shed the jacket. Halftime. Kansas leads by only eight. Collier should be doing cartwheels because Nebraska is still in the game.
7:22 — I'll take the KU Dance Team or Kansas City's Marching Cobras as the halftime entertainment over Nebraska's corny magic show. On second thought, some of those wardrobe changes were amazing.
7:56 — Nebraska's B.J. Walker shoves Chalmers out of bounds before he gets an offensive board. No blood no foul?
THU
7:47 — Kansas goes on a 10-2 run. Chalmers had five points and two assists, accounting for all 10 points in the run — capped off with a lob to Rush. Cornhusker time-out.
8:00 — Collier goes crazy when the refs don't allow a time-out as Wes Wilkinson is falling out of bounds.
8:12 — Commentator Dave Armstrong just went on a long spiel about how Collier is making a good move by resting Aleks Maric with four fouls and 4:39 left in the game. Good try, Dave — Maric had to sit down because he fouled out of the game.
7:44 — Rush called for a travel after he tried to dunk over Nebraska's Wes Wilkinson.
7:36 — Freshman guard Brandon Rush starts the half with a runner in the lane. Once Rush decides not to take first halves off, he's going to score 20 points every game.
8:20 — Freshman forward Julian Wright is on the receiving end of a reverse alley-oop dunk. Next time Trading Places is on TBS, check it out. The resemblance between Wright and the homeless Eddie Murphy character is uncanny.
8:21 — Freshman center Matt Kleinmann and the mop-up crew enter the game as Self turns the victory over to the bench.
A 69-48 victory and Kansas didn't even bring its A-game.

players who forced the Cornhusker defense to collunge inside.
"When shots are not dropping, you just try to drive and get it inside and try to get easy baskets, and that led to Mario getting some open looks," freshman forward Julian Wright said.
Kansas coach Bill Self said he didn't mind when his players took shots, as long as they were good shots.
Four three-pointers went in for Chalmer, and despite connecting on just seven of his 17 field-goal attempts, he was the most clutch player on the floor.
couple of nines last in the heat of the game, a victim of errant shooting, making only three-of-11 attempts. Rush struggled to get into any offensive rhythm, despite having many open looks for his shots.
"I think he had the biggest answers tonight, with a couple of threes late in the shot clock." Self said.
Rush spent the last five minutes of the game on the bench, a rare sight in recent games. He had averaged 18 points per game in conference play going into the Nebraska game.
Chalmers said he knew that having Rush struggle and still managing a victory was good for his team.
"It shows that we have a lot more weapons than just Brandon, even though he is leading the team in scoring," Chalmers said. "Tonight he just didn't have a good game, but he will come back."

Hawkins had no turnovers in the game and has just one in his previous seven.
Nice to see you
Former Kansas player and current Creighton guard Nick Bahe was in attendance. Bahe received a loud ovation from the Kansas players and coaches when he entered the Kansas locker room after the game.
Rush's six points ended a nine-game streak of him scoring in double figures.
Rush cools down
Chalmers' four three-pointers were a career high and his 20-point effort was his fourth 20-point output of the season.

Robinson adapts game
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
LINCOLN, Neb. — Some nights his role is to score and other nights his role is to create havoc for the opposing team's guards.
Sophomore guard Russell Robinson constantly pressured Nebraska point guard Charles Robinson into making poor decisions and turning the ball over in Wednesday night's 69-48 victory.
"It wears the other team out," Robinson said. "When we get steals, we are able to play faster and run more. It's one of our main ways to get points."
Robinson has struggled over the past three games with his outside shot and has had to adjust his role to do more than score.
Robinson shot 6-of-27 over his last three games. He was 16-of-23 in the three games before that.
Robinson's assists came at important parts of the game. With Kansas leading by just six points in the first half, Robinson assisted on three consecutive Kansas baskets. Two of the assists were to senior guard Jeff Hawkins for open three-pointers and the final assist was an alley-oop to sophomore center CJ Giles.
in the three games before that Besides Robinson's four steals on the night, he also did a solid job distributing the ball to his teammates with a team-high five assists.
Kansas coach Bill Self said after the game that Robinson was one of the most important players on the Kansas roster.
Self said he was also pleased with Robinson's defense.
"I think Russell is more the heart and soul of our team than any other player." Self said. "When he dives on the floor that gives everybody energy when you're making plays like that."
"Usually your pressure defense isn't as good on the road." Self said. "I thought he did a real good job of extending our defense and pressuring their guys."
Robinson was able to get his offensive rebounds because no one on Nebraska boxed him out. Nebraska big men Aleks Maric and Wes Wilkinson had their hands full trying to contain the Kansas big men and one picked up Robinson, who was scanning for easy rebounds and buckets.
With his five offensive rebounds, Robinson gave Kansas many second-shot opportunities and kept the offense flowing. On one possession, after a three-point miss from freshman guard Mario Chalmers, Robinson collected an offensive rebound and kicked it back to him for another shot — this time Chalmers connected
Robinson said after the game he would continue to try to get his teammates involved, and wouldn't let his poor shooting affect the rest of his game.
"I'm just going to let the game come to me," Robinson said. "I have been struggling lately, but it's not anything I'm letting get to my head. I'm going to keep shooting the ball when I have open looks."
— Edited by Cynthia Hernandez
Key plays:
Maric cut the Kansas lead to six just minutes into the second half, but Kansas guard Mario Chalmers responded by hitting a three-pointer at the top of the key. Chalmers later hit another after Maric cut the Kansas lead to five.
Kansas put the game away for good with a 15
0 run late in the second half.

Freshman
"Preston has the chance to be a huge guy for
us with the way he swings the bat." Price said.
Afenir is unique from the rest of his freshman class, because he is the lone freshman starter. Although he may share time with junior Dylan Parzyk throughout the season, the California-bred catcher is carrying a heavy load.
"Buck Afenir has the most difficult job," Price said. "He has seven returning starters around him, and he's replacing one of the best players from our conference last year in Sean Richardson. He's a talented young man."
Afenir did not record a single error in the four of five games he started last week. He threw out the first runner who attempted to steal on him, and he also hit a solid .333 for the series.
"I was pretty happy with myself but I've got to get the mental part of the game down a little better," Afenir said.
Does he feel like the odd man out of the freshman crowd?
Afenir said he looked to senior center fielder Matt Baty and sophomore third baseman Erik Morrison for help and advice.
"Yeah, but I kind of welcome it," he grinned. "I like it."
"That's my biggest fear right now."
He already looks like he's comfortable carrying the weight that comes with being the starting catcher. He does admit, however, that he's still working toward being the leader that the catcher's spot requires. Despite being one of two major contributing freshmen. Afenir said he looked forward to becoming the anchor of the defense.
"I just have to start playing like it's my team," Afenir said. "Being the young guy, it's something I've got to get used to and take the team over a little bit — being the catcher."

K-State coach undergoes neck surgery
Kansas State men's basketball coach Jim Wooldridge underwent surgery to remove a bulging disk in his neck Wednesday. No timetable has been set for his return to the team.
Assistant sports information director Tom Gilbert said Wooldridge had been hampered by the bulging disc for several weeks.
The Wildcats played Iowa State on Wednesday, the first time in 164 games that Wooldridge was not on the sideline. Assistant coach Jim Elgas coached in his absence.
The Associated Press
Kansas fell to 3-7 in conference. Oklahoma improved to a perfect 10-0 and has emerged as the team to beat in the Big 12.
Courtney Paris, a candidate for the Wooden Award given annually,to the nation's outstanding players, led the way for the Sooners with 18 points and 12 rebounds.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A
Henrickson said she expected a big game from Paris, but was discouraged that three other Sooners also reached double-digits.
Rout
"We felt like she was a tough match-up, but the rest of those kids are defendable," Henrickson said.
Freshman guard Ivana Catic struggled all night on the defensive end. She received just 18 minutes of playing time, with the rest going to freshman guard Sophronia Sallard.
Oklahoma shot 51 percent from the field during the game, including 21 points off of Kansas turnovers.
After the game, Henrickson said it was Catic's worst performance of the year. It came after she enjoyed a big game against Iowa State at Allen Fieldhouse last Saturday.
Kansas found a bright spot in big performances by two seniors, forward Crystal Kemp and guard Erica Hallman.
Hallman made 4-of-7 threepoint attempts, and her 18 points were second only to Kemp's 21.
"I thought Erica hit some big
shots offensively," Henrickson said. "And I thought Crystal was very poised."
On a night when Kansas struggled to play defense, the coach commended Kemp's defensive effort, saying it was something she had been working on in practice.
Oklahoma pulled away with a 10-0 run midway through the first half, something the Jayhawks were never able to bounce back from.
"We gave them too many easy shots early and let them feel good about themselves," Henrickson said.
Women's basketball notebook:
Sparsely attended game by OU standards:
With a showdown against defending national champion Baylor looming Saturday, many Oklahoma fans chose to skip last night's game. There were 5,839 tickets sold, but the crowd was estimated at just more than 4,000. Saturday's game will likely be a sellout in the 12,000-seat arena.
Kansas signee in attendance:
Sade Morris, a senior forward at Norman High School, attended the game last night. She will be in Kansas next fall as one of Henrickson's seven new players.
The Tigers lost to the Iowa State Cyclones 66-60 in Ames, knocking their Big 12 record down to 6-4. Kansas will visit Missouri on Saturday for a 3 p.m. game.
Missouri loses on road:

Italian skier injured before Games
BY ERICA BULMAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SESTRIERE, Italy — It's not the symmetry Kristina Koznick wants. The top-ranked U.S. women's slalom skier is hoping that her Olympic career doesn't end the way it started — on the injury list instead of the slopes.
Koznick partially tore ligaments in her right knee while warming up for a World Cup race in Germany last weekend, and she doesn't know if she'll even participate in Friday's opening ceremony, much less the women's slalom on Feb. 22. She said she won't march if she's on crutches.
VISA 3
"I'm at least working toward a chance, which is better than nothing," she said by phone Wednesday on her way to be fitted for a brace.
Koznick said she should know more Thursday, when she expects to meet with U.S. Ski Team doctor William Sterett.
attached, Stripp said, her bone was bruised and the doctor probably will share the decision. Meanwhile, it's rehab and a dose of hope.
Then she could face an unhappy choice: Race injured or surrender her spot to another U.s. hopeful.

"Right now, as far as competing, we don't know whether that's going to happen," said Koznick's coach and boyfriend, Dan Stripp. "If she feels like she can't, she's going to say, 'I can't do it.'"
It's not the first time Koznick, 30, has confronted hard luck and hard decisions.
A more severe injury to her other knee kept her from what would have been her first Olympics in 1994. Frostbite sidelined her for part of the 1995-96 World Cup season.
While Koznick's ACL is still
This is her final season as a World Cup skier and her final Olympics, the last chances for that elusive big win.
As the only independent racer on the World Cup circuit, she first left the U.S. Ski team after her relationship with Stripp led to his firing as a U.S. coach in 1999. She rejoined the U.S. squad in 2003 but returned to independent status last year.
Koznick admits that main-
taining her own tiny team
— with only a handful of staffers — can be a challenge. Everything becomes a worry, from denting the rental car to an illness on the staff. That constant struggle makes her latest setback even more poignant.
Kristina Koznick of Buck Hill, Minn. bends a slalom gate during the women's U. S. Alpine National Championships at Mammoth Ski Area, Mammoth Lakes, Calif. in this Sunday, April 3, 2005, photo. Koznick is in her final season as a World Cup skier.
The Minnesota native hasn't won a World Cup race since
2003, but she had two second places and a third last winter. This season, she has been in the top 10 in four of the five World Cup slaloms she entered and twice brushed the podium, finishing fourth both in Maribor, Slovenia, and Lienz, Austria.
In a career that includes six slalom victories but no major championships, "Koz" was hoping Sestriere would be a defining triumph.
Currently eight in the World Cup women's slalom standings, she is the country's best chance for a women's slalom medal.
because she is ranked seventh on the World Cup Start List, she would be the only U.S. woman with the advantage of starting in the first group, before the course gets chopped up.
The U.S. team is ready with a replacement should Koznick scratch.
"She's a great slalom skier and the U.S. needs to have the best team possible," said U.S. women's technical coach Trevor Wagner. "But we'll be racing four women in every event. If she can't, there are other athletes who would go instead."

Former Rams coach heads to Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions hired Mike Martz after all.
The former Rams coach became Lions offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Wednesday, a week after he turned down the job for financial reasons.
Martz interviewed with new coach Rod Marinelli and team president Matt Millen nine days ago, but said last Thursday he wasn't taking the job because, "It just didn't work out with the money."
Contract terms weren't disclosed.
The Rams fired Martz on Jan.
2, the day after St. Louis finished 6-10. He sat out the last 11 games recovering from endocarditis, a bacterial infection of a heart valve, but has been cleared to return to coaching.
Martz led St. Louis to the playoffs in four of his five full seasons, including a Super Bowl after the 2001 season, and helped the franchise win the 2000 Super Bowl as offensive coordinator.

The Rams went 51-29 in the regular season and 54-33 overall during his five full seasons as head coach.

Anna Faltermeier/KANSAN
The game got off to a sloppy start, but 2 Good 4 a Name collected its cosposure and proved to be too good for Title IX All-Stars, winning 49-21 Tuesday night at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center.
Poor shooting and mental errors hurt both teams in the beginning, but 2 Good 4 a Name was able to overcome the problems. The game was played at an aggressive pace.
2 Good 4 a Name was led offensively in the first half by Melissa Casto, Leavenworth freshman, Janessa Gerber, Garden Plain freshman and Brandon Bernard, Overland Park freshman. 2 Good 4 a Name's cohesiveness was evident throughout, especially when Cody Cansler, Shawnee freshman, stole the ball and passed it to Casto for an easy lav-up in the first half.
Clark Kebodeaux, Olathe sophomore, was the leader both offensively and defensively for Title IX All-Stars, but his team could not overcome a 27-9 halftime deficit.
The second half was dominated by Cansler, who led his team in scoring and steals. Cansler said after the game that he was just happy to come away with the victory.
"Our team played tough, and
we hustled in order to get the win." Cansler said.
On the other side of the ball, the Title IX All-Stars players said they didn't capitalize on opportunities that could have had them on the winning end.

victory against Kappa Sigma.
Tuesday night's intramural basketball game between Kappa Sigma and Fists of Fury began and ended the same way — with fire from Fists of Fury.
Kappa Sigma center Brandt Pyle, Halstead junior, and his teammates fought back by grinding out points in the paint and refusing to give up the ball.
Within the first two minutes, Fists of Fury point guard Jake Stover, Buhler junior, made two three-point shots sparking an early 15-point lead and an eventual 61-58
Pyle scored 20 points in 15 minutes during the first half, which narrowed Fists of Fu's lead to 35-29 at the half.
In the second half, the Fists of Fury tried to shut down Pyle, but the extra attention didn't phase him.
Pyle scored 30 points during the game.
"I really didn't think about it," Pyle said. "I just did what needed to be done."
At the 6-minute mark, Pyle brought Kappa Sigma back into the game with a three-point play that tied the game at 53 points.
A hard-fought lay-up from Stover rekindled the Fists of Fury's momentum and secured the team's victory.

LIFE OF BRIAN
Best part of sports year just around the corner
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
Football season is officially over.
Kansas blew out the mighty Houston Cougars in the Fort Worth Bowl, Vince Young won the Rose Bowl all by himself and the Steelers won a twiddle-my-thumbs boring Super Bowl.
So now that it's all over, can we finally, please, move past the most over-hyped and overrated sports season of the year and start paying attention to the truly compelling sports?
BRIAN WACKER
bwacker@kansan.com
Quick question: Can you tell me where the Winter Olympics are being held this year? If you guessed Eudora, you're wrong. They are actually being held in Torino, Italy. Bonus question:
When do they start? If you said tomorrow, you're correct and probably in the minority.
That's right, in less than 48 hours, the best athletes in the world not on the hardwood or a gridiron will parade into Stadio Olimpico in Torino, ready to perform in the greatest event in all of sports.
The Olympics transcend the sports that are played. The cultural and social implications
the Olympics can never be understated. What other sporting event — or any event, for that matter — has the power to peacefully bring representatives from 85 different nations together? Consider this: Alidad Saveh Shemshaki of Iran and Mikail Renzhin of Israel will both be in the qualifying pools for the men's slalom and giant slalom skiing events.
In case you've never read the non-sports sections of the newspaper, those are two athletes from respective countries that are one nervous soldier with a grudge away from igniting World War III. Shaq vs. Kobe? No thanks. Ohio State vs. Michigan? I'll pass. Give me Shemshaki vs. Renzhin, a match up with a whole lot
more drama.
The games in Torino also provide compelling American story lines. Will the soul-patched, bandana-sporting, speed-skating Apolo Anton Ohno be able to avoid another fateful wipeout, similar to the crash that kept him from winning the gold in the 1000m individual race? How well will the USA Hockey team compete with 44-year-old Chris Chelios as its captain? Can the United States eclipse its record of 34 total medals it kept in the States in Salt Lake City?
If winter sports and the peaceful coexistence of the world's powers aren't really your bag, then look no further than NCAA basketball.
With regular season games
remaining against Missouri, Kansas State and Texas, KU fans should be well-entertained as they wait for postseason play. Arguably, March Madness begins at the Big 12 championship on March 9. How well Kansas plays there is sure to have a huge impact on the Jayhawks' seed in the Big Dance a week later.
Kansas (16-6, 7-2), starting three freshmen and two sophomores, may not have the most postseason experience. But the last time I checked, that doesn't matter as much in the tournament as all the ESPN pundits would have you believe. Syracuse won it all in 2003 with two freshmen, Carmelo Anthony and Gerry McNamara, leading the charge. And last year, Kansas led by seniors Aaron Miles, Keith Langford, Wayne Simien and Michael Lee bowed out in the first round to Bucknell, a 14 seed. So it's hard to say how Kansas will respond this year.
Bottom line: The Super Bowl and the BCS may provide ratings and huge corporate sponsors, but the Winter Olympics and the NCAA postseason will provide the truly compelling.
Although the folks at Tostitos, Nokia and EV1.net may want you to think otherwise, right now we are beginning
— not ending — the best part of the year for sports.

KANSAN SENIOR SWITTERWRI
LINCOLN, Neb. — Threepoint shot after three-point shot just would not fall for freshman guard Mario Chalmers during the opening 23 minutes.
That changed in the second half, as Chalmers provided clutch three-pointers to counter any
thought of a Nebraska comeback. As a result, Kansas cruised to its fifth straight victory. 69-48, last night at the Devaney Center.
Chalmers finally left the floor with 1:40 to go in the game and was met with a hug from his father Ronnie Chalmers after he finished with 20 points.
Twice during the second half, Nebraska cut the Kansas lead to as little as five, and each time
Chalmers responded with a threepointer. Chalmers did not let the Cornhuskers get any closer, enabling the Jay Hawks to get their fourth conference victory on the road.
Chalmers poured in 20 points, including 16 in the second half, on a night when leading scorer Brandon Rush was not able to get it done offensively. The victory improved Kansas to 16-6 on
the season and 7-2 in conference play.
"In the first half I didn't really make anything," Chalmers said. "Coach was just telling me to keep shooting and to square up a little more, and that was able to help me out in the second half."
Many of his shots came thanks to kick-outs from Jayhawk post

Sloppy play leads to rout in Norman

In a game that Kansas had to play flawlessly to compete in, defensive miscues and turnovers added up to an 86-57 loss to No.9 Oklahoma.
The lajahawks defensive effort did not meet coach Bonnie Hen
nickson's standards, which has been a common theme all season.
"I don't know why, but right now we're just too easy to score on," Henrickson said. "There's no excuse for this to be a 30-point game. No excuse. They're not that much better than we are."

Freshman players make mark, look to veterans
Entering the 2006 season, the Kansas baseball team knew what to expect from its veterans. Five games into the season, it's more than just the returning starters who are drawing attention.
While the returners joined forces to score more than 50 runs and win the first four games of the season, standout

baseman in Hawaii, behind senior Jared Schweitzer. But Land fit right into a designated hitter role, starting all but one game in the five-game opening series against Hawai-Hilo.
Land hit .444 in four games, and hit two over the fence. He carries confidence and hitting know-how in his sturdy 6-foot-3 frame, but he said it was a relief having his first-hit jitters behind him.
The two freshmen made it known that their presence would be vital to the success of a Kansas veteran lineup.
"In my first at bat I got my first hit so it's off my shoulders. And then being a power hitter, I hit my first home run
and now that's off my shoulders and I don't have to worry about doing that anymore," Land said. "Now I can just focus on helping my team win."
The 2005 Kansas City Star player of the year, Land represented the high-profile recruits Price described.
Although he is already proving himself, Land said he still looked to his elders for advice and leadership. Land said having his brother, starting left-handed pitcher Sean
Instead, Land said he turned to senior right fielder Gus Milner and Schweitzer. Milner will serve as the experienced power guy in the Kansas lineup, and Land said he recognized their similar hitting style.
Land, on the team was helpful, but because of the differences in their positions, Preston said he didn't really go to his brother for baseball advice.

SPEAK the best Valentine's gift ever
EDITOR'S NOTE
12
Love it or hate it, it's coming. Valentine's Day — a red-and-pink, teeth-rotting 24 hours that's wrapped in cellophane, seasoned with gift-buying pressure and garnished with the worst part of winter — is only a mere five days away. I've never been a fan of the holiday, generally preferring to treat it as just another day — my annual boring protest. To date, my most romantic V-day excursion was a midnight run to Taco Bell, his treat. And that's how I've liked it. But it can never hurt to keep an open mind. In fact, it's essential for a successful love life.
Read Stefanie Graves's article about interfaith relationships and learn the value of compromise (p.15). Discover new places to make memories in our "romantic spots" photo essay (p.11). And, finally, get a fresh perspective and read Lindsey Ramsey's story of her best Valentine's Day — a tale less romantic, even, than late-night Taco Bell (p.23).
Whether you'll be sipping wine with a lover on the Plaza or guzzling Franzia alone in your room (or ignoring it and having a Tuesday), have a great February 14.
Should the day prove to be wretched, remember — the Bell's open 'til 3.

CHOCOLATE: HOW SWEET IT IS
by Carrie Hillard
KISSES © BEC H
The romantic treat is here to help your heart
To quote Lucy Van Pelt from Peanuts, "All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt!"
With its smooth, rich flavor, a small piece of chocolate can bring about feelings of euphoria. Valentine's Day gives us the perfect excuse to indulge in this sweet treat, but research reveals we may not need this excuse any longer.
Several studies in recent years have discovered that chocolate possesses nutritional benefits — fantastic news for chocolohics everywhere.
A recent study in the Journal of American Science shows positive vascular effects from the consumption of chocolate,says Penny Kris-Etherton, a registered dietitian at Pennsylvania State University; however, "we are a long, long way from saying chocolate can help cure or control heart disease and diabetes, but it may help protect blood pressure."
Some of the health benefits may be due to the cocoa bean's high quantity of antioxidants, similar to the amounts found in red wine.
These antioxidants, called flavonoids, have been shown to help reduce blood clots and heart disease. Basically, the flavonoids in chocolate help keep the blood flowing says Ann Chapman, a registered dietitian at Watkins Health Services.
KIT LEFFLER
The study shows that small amounts of chocolate actually caused relaxation of the arteries, Kris-Etherton says. She adds that chocolate protects "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or LDL) from being oxidized, a process which normally leads to the clogging of arteries.
"good" (high-density lipoprotein, or HDL) cholesterol, which keeps the arteries open and healthy.
Studies show that the antioxidants in chocolate also aid in increasing the
Lucky for us, these flavonoids can be found in some varieties of chocolates. Dark chocolate has two to four times more flavonoids than milk chocolate, and white chocolate has none, Chapman says.
Dark chocolate may not be the only chocolate rich with flavonoids. People just don't know what the flavonoid-rich chocolates are Kris-Etherton says. Some milk chocolate can have high flavonoid content. It all depends on the richness of the cocoa plants and how much cocoa manufacturers use to make their final confection.
Kate Gannon, Lawrence nontraditional student, says she has developed a taste for dark chocolate over the years. "I used to like the light, sugary taste of milk chocolate. But knowing there are more quality beans in dark chocolate has made it more appealing to me," she says.
The main criteria to determine the quality of chocolate are the bean quality and the amount of time chocolate is conched, or mixed, says Cheryl Wetherington, owner of Riverfront Chocolates. To compare, Hershey's chocolate is conched for 90 minutes, but Guiltard chocolate, a gourmet chocolate sold at Riverfront Chocolates, is conched for 70 hours. Kris-Etherton says she hopes that someday chocolate will have labels that tell consumers the amount of flavonoids the product contains.
Before you start stuffing your face with chocolate like Augustus Gloop, remember that it's by no means a health food. Most servings are full of empty calories from
saturated fats and sugar. Chocolate is highly caloric and, compared to 20 calories in a cup of broccoli, one cup of chocolate has 1,000 calories Chapman says. Eat enough of it and it may expand your hips rather than help your blood flow.
When eating chocolate, keep your portions small and controlled, and try
to lean towards dark or flavored rich chocolate, Chapman says.
It looks like our mothers were right — moderation is the key to a healthy diet.
Now you can feel a little less guilty about indulging in some chocolate this Valentine's Day.
Bon appetit,chocoholics!
TYPES OF CHOCOLATE
MILK CHOCOLATE
made with 10-20 percent cocoa solids which include cocoa and cocoa butter; contains more than 12 percent milk solids.
→SWEET DARK CHOCOLATE

BITTERSWEET DARK
CHOCOLATE
CHOCOLATE — contains at least 35 percent cocoa solids, but quality dark chocolate contains 50-85 percent; can not substitute with semi-sweet or sweet chocolate when baking.
UNSWEETENED DARK
CHOCOLATE

MYTH: "Chocolate causes acne."
FICTION: You can breathe a sigh of relief. Several studies in the past have failed to find a link between chocolate and acne.
MYTH:"Chocolate is a good source of caffeine."
FICTION:Actually, 1.55 ounces of chocolate has only about 10 milligrams of caffeine,
compared to 100 milligrams found in one cup of coffee.

FACT: Phenylethylamine in chocolate triggers feelings similar to "falling in love," while anandamide in chocolate
MYTH: "Women crave chocolate."

PRODUCT REVIEW
BK CHICKEN FRIES
Chicken still tastes like chicken; no matter what the shape, right? Burger King's Chicken Fries are a new spin on an old-school favorite. BK Chicken Tenders. All-white meat chicken or so we're told; and spicy breading make them taste pretty similar, but the real mystique surrounds the string bean form of the Chicken Fries. The thinness of the chicken makes it all breading, which means extra grease I'd prefer the Chicken Tender any day. Then, again, stick a shog in a deep fat frier and drown it in condiments — at all justes the same. BK Chicken Fries cost $1.69 for a six-pack, $2.69 for a nine-pack and $7.99 for a 30-pack.

Color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait present in 7 percent of American males, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute reports.
PAINT YOUR WORLD IN BLACK AND WHITE
a trip through the eyes of the color blind. by Carolyn Tharp
Julie Sorge, Amherst, Virginia, graduate student, didn't realize she was color blind until she was 15 years old. When she kept handing the wrong color of pastel crayons to her friend in art class, he teased her.
"What are you, color blind?" he asked. She thought about it, and realized it explained a lot.
For Sorge and many like her, trees and flowers blend together into a gray mass and Mountain Dew just looks a "nice bright灰" instead of a vivid yellow.
Being color blind can lead to embarrassment, ridicule or even danger, but it isn't exactly like seeing the world in a black-and-white photo. Color blindness is usually just a mixing up of colors, most commonly greens and reds, says Kevin Trummel, a Lawrence optometrist.
Finding out youre color blind later in life, like Sorge, isn't a rare occurrence. Erin Beaton, Madison senior, thought what she saw was normal until she
was about 6 years old. It wasn't until she started learning her colors at school that she realized she couldn't see things the same way other children could.
"In second grade, I was doing a coloring assignment, and the teacher yelled at me because she thought I was obnoxious for coloring with the wrong colors," Beaton says. "She didn't realize that I couldn't tell what the colors were."
Color blindness often restricts people from certain jobs, like fighter pilot or electrician, Trummel says. Color blindness affects the little things in life. Trying to see if a tornado is about to hit Kansas can be difficult if each region On The Weather Channel looks gray. Picking out fresh produce is a tough task if you can't distinguish whether a banana is green or yellow. Reading a map can be confusing, because many maps have colored legends. It makes finding the right shade of
lipstick at the Clinique counter challenging.
Sorge says the hardest thing for her is when she pulls up to a stoptile at night. When it's too dark to tell if the top or bottom signal is lit up, she tries to judge from the traffic around her.
Although Beaton relies on help from her roommates to pick her outfits in the morning, simple adaptations and lots of memorization make it possible for her to live in such a colorful world. When she first moves into a new apartment, her mom arranges the clothes in her closet according to color, and Beaton memorizes the order. When someone tells Beaton something is a certain color, she tries to memorize that shade of gray, so when she sees it again she can try to distinguish what color it is.
While Beaton sees shades of gray, black and white, her father can see only black and white, and her sister sees black, white
Color blindness can simply be the inability to distinguish one color from another. There are three chemicals in the back of the eye — one each for red, green and blue — and if one of those chemicals is deficient, it can cause color blindness, Trummel says.
and red.
"It's kind of a neat feeling knowing that no one else can see what you're seeing." Erin Beaton Madison senior
Color blindness is an X-linked recessive gene most commonly expressed in males. Seven percent of American males are color blind and 20 times more men are color blind
than women, a report from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute says.
Sorge's father is also color blind. She says she remembers the days when her father would dress her in the mornings and her mother would be horrified at some of the mismatched ensembles.
Because color blindness is genetic, laser eye surgery is probably not a possible remedy, Trummel says. Someone who can't see certain colors can wear special-colored lenses that shift the light and make it possible to see some colors, he says.
But Beaton wouldn't change a thing.
"It's really my own perspective of my own little world. It's kind of a neat feeling knowing that no one else can see what you're seeing," she says: "I love going shopping and picking outfits for people as gifts and having them not match. Then they always know it's from me."

Good Night, and Good Luck

It's kind of nice to have absolutely no idea what film will win Best Picture. The last few years have been pretty much locks (ahem, The Return of the King). Sure, hype surrounding Brokeback Mountain has been deafening as of late, but Crash snagged the Screen Actors Guild Award and the Academy seems to have a crush on Munich. Good Night, and Good Luck and Capote
are both solid, so I honestly have no idea what is going to happen.
Should Win: Good Night, and Good Luck

Bennett Miller, Capote
Paul Haggis, Crash
George Clooney, Good Night, and Good Luck
Steven Spielberg, Munich
Directors are tricky business because, traditionally, whoever wins Best Picture takes home Best Director as well, so things are boding well for Ang Lee if Brokeback Mountain does indeed win the big prize. However, I was more impressed with Steven Spielberg's work on Munich and George Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck. And for a first film, Paul Huggs definitely earned his nomination with Crash. The only real weak link is Bennett Miller; Capote is definitely more Phillip Seymour Hoffman's show than Miller's.

Phillip, Seymour Hoffman, Capote
Terrence Howard, Hustle & Flow

Here we go a category that feels fairly easy to predict. Philip Seynour Hoffman earned his Oscar with his first intake of breath as Capote
BEST ACTRESS
But then here comes that 10 Things I hate About You guy. Health Ledger, or that damn River Phoenix's brother Joaquín Phoenix, to steal his thunder Not to mention the always dependable David Strathairm or the incredible Terrence Howard as the underdog. Oh, wait, maybe it's not so easy to predict.
Should Win: Reese Witherspoon, Walk the Line
Should.Win: Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Capote
Judi Dench, Mrs. Henderson Presents Felicity Huffman, Transamerica Keira Knightly, Pride & Prejudice Charize Theron, North Country Reese Witherspoon, Walk the Line
The girl next door or the woman playing a man who is becoming a woman? Decisions, decisions. I think its clear that the only nominees that matter this year are Reese Witherspoon, as smart-mouthed crooner June Carter Cash, and Felicity Huffman, as conservative transsexual Bree who learns she fathered a son when she was still a he. It all comes down to whether the Academy would rather see the nice girl or the Desperate Housewife take home the gold.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Amy Adams, Junebug
Catherine Keener, Capote
Frances McDormand, North Country
Rachel Weisz, The Constant Gardner
Michelle Williams, Brokeback Mountain
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR George Clooney, Syriana Matt Dillon, Crash Paul Giamatti, Cinderella Man Jake Gyllenhall, Brokeback Mountain William Hurt, A History of Violence
Michelle Williams, all the way (oh, D-Creek), unless that sneaky Rachel Weisz uses her British accent to cajole herself a win.
Should Win: Michelle Williams, Brokeback Mountain
William Hurt was in about 20 minutes of A History of Violence, so he's out. I didn't even remember that Matt Dillon was in Crash, so that takes care of him. Jake Gyllenhall was lucky to be nominated at all since he has taken the backseat (no pun intended) to Heath Ledger's performance.
No one actually saw *Cinderella Man*. So that leaves Mr. Clooney. Hey, he gained weight and grew a beard. He fits the profile of a beautiful actor playing ugly to win awards so, congratulations, Georgel

MY BOYFRIEND LIKES TO HAVE LOTS OF ALONE TIME. DOES THAT MEAN "HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO ME?" SHANAY, FRESHMAN
Jessica: I can tell from the fact that you're asking this that you're not OK with his alone time, which means you may not be that into him. An introvert is defined as someone who recharges by being alone, and an extrovert is someone who recharges by surrounding themselves with people in a social atmosphere. His need for time apart most likely has nothing to do with you; it's merely a matter of personality. I don't see your boyfriend revamping his personality profile any time soon, so if you can't deal with his need for space, let him know and find someone who's more comfortable spending more time with you in the limelight.
Brian: Frankly, it could mean almost anything. He might just be a very introverted person who only needs to interact with you a few times a day. He could be cheating on you and wants to avoid you at all costs. But most likely, he just likes to have some alone time every once in a while, as boring as that might be to hear. Nothing beats sitting on your couch watching Sportscenter three times in a row or playing Playstation for hours. But if he is able to get away from you for a while, it lessens the chance that he will accidentally mention how beautiful your best friend is, or how much he misses getting it on with his last girlfriend. Just relish the time that he's away from you. Stop being a selfish girl and let your boy do his own thing.
EMILIA, SOPHOMORE
WHAT DO YOU BUY YOUR BOYFRIEND FOR VALENTINE'S DAY IF YOU'VE ONLY BEEN DATING FOUR MONTHS?GUYS ARE SO HARD TO BUY FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE,LET ALONE AFTER JUST FOUR MONTHS.
Brian: See, that's the thing, it isn't that guys are hard to buy for. Women just want to make everything more complicated. Think of what your boyfriend likes the most. Beer? Buy him an imported case so it's something special. Good music? Go out and buy him either the new Jamie Foxx or Nada Surf CD. Sex? Just buy him a box of condoms and throw in some of his favorite candy. Don't over-complicate things.
Jessica: I think guys are definitely hard to buy for. It's not like women have an onslaught of Hallmark commercials pre-V-Day to force us in the right direction. We have to rely on common sense and what we know about our guys. I like the idea of restocking his fridge/kitchen with his favorite foods while he's in class or at work. You could even throw in Brian the Boozehound's recommendation of imported beer for good measure. Try personalizing it. If he's an athlete, maybe he'll enjoy a professional massage. If he's a video game fiend, ask his friends what game to get. If he's a different kind of fiend, treat yourself and him with a gift certificate to Victoria's Secret. Let him pick what you buy.
ONCE A CHEATER ALWAYS A CHEATER CAN YOU EVER TAKE BACK SOMEONE THAT CHEATED ON YOU? IS FRIENDSHIP EVEN POSSIBLE? JENNA. SENIOR
Brian: There isn't a guy I hate more than the one who gives me a bad name. I might not even know the guy and his satiny my guys just because he cheated on the girl I'm trying to check up with. Sadly it's true that guys tend to cheat on girls more often, than girls cheat on guys. But there is some good news for everyone: a man will finally change his cheating ways once he isn't hit with the brick of enlightenment by his torture (grafted these big guys) who will cheat in every plausible they are in but a majority of
guys will realize the error of their way. Give your man a chance to redirect himself. Whether as a friend first, then as a bear or vice versa.
jessica it couldn't disagree with Brian more. Perhaps it's because I've been on the receiving end of a theater's shenanigans, and was that girl who gave him a second a third and even a fourth chance. You deserve to be with someone who doesn't make you doubt whether you're the reason or of she should be not married
say lekhim go for good, so you both have a fresh start with someone new. Odds are you'll find one who won't chest and after your ex figures himself out, he'll be ready to be faithful in a new relationship with someone else. The hard part for you will be convincing yourself that the cheating wasn't your fault (unless you were a convict, abusive bitch of a sirlfriends. As for friends, I think it's possible, but only after the hurt from the past has subsided and you've forgiven him.

Opposites attract
Couples share advice on making an interfaith relationship work
It's an abnormally balmy January afternoon when Kelly Mills, Delaware, Ohio, graduate student, agrees to talk about her recent engagement and upcoming wedding to Marc Radasky, first-year law student at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. After 10 minutes of informalities about her family and how she made the decision to move to Kansas from Washington, D.C., she begins to glance at the clock positioned on the opposite wall, insinuating she probably has better things to do with her time.
Her demeanor quickly changes, though, when the topic of her fiance is mentioned. The posture of her back abruptly straightens against the back of her chair and her soft, grayish-blue eyes seem to light up from within. She is definitely a woman in love.
Like most engaged women, Mills can't say enough about her husband-to-be. "He's funny, extremely intelligent, passionate and he has really great hair," she says as her thin lips widen into an even bigger smile. The fact that Mills is Methodist and Radasky is Jewish doesn't even register on her love-o-meter.
Mills and Radasky's situation isn't that unusual. While exact statistics are hard to come by, approximately one million married couples living in the United States are from different faith backgrounds,says www.InterfaithFamily.com, a Web site devoted to helping members of the Jewish community interact with people from different faiths.Nearly 40,000 interfaith marriages were conducted this past year, a number that is expected to double within the next 10 years,the site says.

Telling your family
Ryan McNabb, Liberal junior, has been dating his girlfriend for more than a year. McNabb is Episcopalian and he says that telling his parents about his girlfriend's Catholic faith wasn't difficult McNabb is considering converting to his girlfriend's faith. He fears that a conversation with his family about conversion could become a "big deal."
In these situations, students often want advice on how to tell parents or grandparents about a significant other's religious background, says Sean Heston, vice president of the KU Religious Advisers. Heston suggests that couples take time to express what is appealing about the other person's faith and use those facts as a way to start a conversation with family members. If you know that your family will have a major problem with the relationship, figure out exactly what you plan to tell them beforehand to ease tensions.
The marriage ceremony
Anothertension that interfaith couples face is deciding what kind of wedding ceremony
they'll have. Mills and Radasky have decided on a beachside ceremony that will incorporate elements from both of their faiths. The couple will recite handwritten vows under a chupah, a traditional Jewish canopy symbolizing the home that will be built by the couple, and members of both families will recite scripture readings, in English and then in Hebrew.
McNabb says that if he and his girlfriend decide to get married, it will be in a Catholic church. To
McNabb, belonging to or getting married In a specific church wasn't as important as simply going to church, any church.
INTERFAITH HELP These organizations offer counseling and help with questions about interfaith relationships:
"I've been to the Episcopalian church and it had a lot of older people. I liked Corpus Christi better and Iliked the priest there better," he says.

Raising children
Couples that plan to wed need to discuss how their children will be raised prior to getting married, Heston says.
"If you don't deal with it ahead of time, it can come back really hard after kids are born," he says. To ease the anxiety of extended family members, let loved ones know what to expect when children come into the picture, Heston suggests. Grandparents, especially,can put added pressure on young couples because they want their grandchildren to be raised in a certain way. Having a plan and sticking to it can ease some of these pressures, he says.
Although Mills and Radasky haven't decided in which faith they will raise their children, Mills says they have had many constructive conversations about the topic and that they will make
the decision before getting married.
Mills also plans on educating her children about both the Methodist and the Jewish faiths she says there will always be a Christmas tree and a Menorah in her house during the winter holidays.
Mills starts to hurriedly gather up her backpack. Her best advice for other interfaith couples is to "be open about your expectations. Don't be afraid to get candid. It's your faith. It's your foundation," she says.

ELIZABETH TOWN
If your Valentine's Day plans are leaning toward just staying in and listening to your iPod, why not rent Cameron Crowe's iPod-on-film? Elizabethtown, starring hunky Orlando Bloom (sans cute British accent) and pretty Kirsten Dunst (complete with annoying traits) in a cutesy staging of Cameron Crowe's favorite songs. There is also some plot about dealing with death, taking risks and falling in love.

Bartenders work tirelessly as thirsty patrons bark orders at them all night long, so cut them some slack if they don't beeline their way to you as soon as you approach the bar.

Technology's great gift to the music industry
Every afternoon, Adam Bettis Wichita senior, logs onto his MySpace account to check his e-mail, download music and talk with friends. In addition, Bettis also uses the site to promote his younger brother Luke's band, The Luke Bettis Band.
The Luke Bettis Band consists of four KU students: Scott Johnson (drums/percussion), Ryan Staub (bass/background vocals), Joe Sparacino (piano/vocals/harmonica) and Luke Bettis (guitar/vocals). The band, like other unsigned bands and DJs, uses MySpace for publicity.
Adam Bettis acts as the band's promotional manager. He says that MySpace is an excellent resource for information on how to contact and meet other local bands in the area, as well as generate a larger fan base.
"MySpace is a particularly good Web site for us because of all the kids and adults well into their 50s who've heard our music online," Bettis says.
MySpace is an online college forum enabling users to access each other's personal information, profiles and respective interests. It is an excellent resource for upcoming music events throughout the country. Based in Santa Monica, California, MySpace serves as a place for signed and unsigned bands to join together and meet new people. The site also promotes its own record label, MySpace Records. Founded two years ago by Chris DeWolfe and Tom Anderson, MySpace now hosts 660,000 artists and bands.
The popular Web site also provides other services for its users. "MySpace is an online community that lets you meet your friends' friends," the MySpace home page says. MySpace, users gain the ability to share photos, journals, and music. With over 46 million users, MySpace is a free service that anyone can use, unlike
www.facebook.com, a communal Web site that requires a college or high school e-mail address.
Although MySpace began on the West Coast, the community has spread all over the world. With mainstream media comes mainstream advertising. MySpace functions as an effective advertiser for products like turntables and record companies, along with household appliances.
However, some users of the Web site believe that too much advertising diminishes the quality of the service. John Paine, Kansas State University sophomore and DJ,says he has mixed feelings about MySpace.
"It's a great place to promote your name, but you also have all these fake people out there who just want to sell shit," Paine says. Despite his objection to excessive advertising, he continues to use MySpace, he says.
Most users of MySpace are content with its services. Chetan Michie, Manhattan junior, logs onto his MySpace account to chat with his friends online and check for upcoming concert events around the area. Michie signed onto the site about a year ago, mainly to keep in touch with old friends and acquaintances around town.
"Through MySpace, I've been exposed to a lot of West Coast punk rock bands," Michie says. He also adds bands to his friends list that he already listens to, he says.
"With the site, old friends are no more than a click away," Michie says. "I check my MySpace mail more than my KU e-mail."
Michie has only one criticism: "I don't like it when people I don't know message me out of the blue to vote for stuff like person of the year or best celebrity. It becomes this big popularity contest to see how many friends you have," he says.

Good Night, and Good Luck
TOM FISHER
If you haven't seen George Clooney's masterpiece investigation into one of the greatest moments in broadcast journalism history, then put this paper down and go to Liberty Hall. Go now before it leaves town and you are left to wonder what all the fuss is about on Oscar night. Nominated for six Academy Awards, Including Best Picture and Best Director for Clooney, Good Night, and Good Luck makes me proud to be a journalist. It is a methodical and intricate portrait of a newsman trying to do the right thing, whatever the cost.
In Good Night, and Good Luck,
Edward R. Murrow (David Strathairn)
is America's most beloved newsman.
His series, See It Now, is one of
television's most-watched programs
and a hit for CBS News. Murrow's
dedication to the truth in the face
of adversity leads him to tackle
Senator Joseph McCarthy and his
"witch hunt" for Communists. With
the full support of his network news
team, especially producer Fred Friendly (Clooney), Murrow delivers a series of searing reports on the senator, destroying the senator's campaign. And when McCarthy, seen here through archival footage, turns his attacks on Murrow himself, it is the journalist's integrity and poise that keeps him grounded in his hunt for the truth.
The cast is phenomenal. Strathairn embodies Murrow with every puff of his always-present cigarette. His voice and manner display a man that demanded respect and Strathairn's performance earns ours.The rest of the cast is solid and includes turns by not only director Clooney, but also Jeff Daniels, Patricia Clarkson, Robert Downey, Jr. and Tate Donovan.Clooney, as director, uses fast-paced editing during the news scenes, perfectly encapsulating the frenzy of a newsroom.The film, however, takes its time with close-ups; it shows you every aspect of
the broadcast news process and the characters behind it. Good Night, and Good Luck is really a film about what could be called the golden age of TV journalism — a time when, instead of mucking up the news, reporters made it.

Jenny Lewis MUSIC with The Watson Twins Rabbit Fur Coat
Jenny Lewis has made a name for herself over the last decade performing with the indie/alt-country band Rilo Kiley. While Rilo Kiley takes a break before recording their next album, Lewis has released her first solo album
(with the help of the soaring background vocals of Chandra and Leigh Watson), Rabbit Fur Coat.
100%
Rabbit Fur Coat finds Lewis digging into her childhood when she listened to hours of country and gospel
albums. On the upbeat "Rise Up With Fists," Lewis deals with the current state of the United States and writes some of the best lyrics of her career. It's like trying to clean the ocean! what do you think you can drain it? Well, it was poisoned and dry long before you came.
Lewis bares her soul on such singer-songwriter-type songs as "Happy" and the title track,"Rabbit Fur Coat,"which

has some of Lewis' most personal lyrics, which discuss her past as a child actor, something she rarely talks about. She also shares things about her mother that she's never sung on albums before. Later she tackles religion on one
of the album's standout tracks, "Born Secular." an emotional trip highlighted by The Watson Twins' powerful harmonies.

The big question before hearing this album, was whether Lewis could write great songs without her Rilo Kiley partner in crime, Blake Sennett. The answer is yes.

She Wants MUSIC Revenge
At first glance, SWR is another Interpolor or The Killers, both of which made this style, once again, marketable (possibly the reason for the recent returns of Depeche Mode and New Order). All the elements are there: the big driving metallic beats, the baritone voiced rhythmic vocals, the driving bass lines and the swooping heavily delayed reverberated guitar riffs.
Remember Justin Warfield, the rapper? Neither do I. She Wants Revenge, or, as I like to call them, She Wants to Sound Like the Illegitimate Love Child of Joy Division and Depeche Mode, is an electronic, new wave, dance, alt rock, early '80s British throwback band front-manned by Warfield.

PARENTAL ADVISION
ALPHA
However, I'm not trashing the band or the album. It's incredibly enjoyable right down to saucilly delicious, slightly inappropriate lyrics
(it's cold out but her Popsicle melts/She's in the bathroom/she pleasures herself,"These Things"). The band does manages to tweak their sound just enough (though I'm not exactly sure how) to set themselves apart from their influences. Succinctly put, it's more of an homage than a rip-off.

THEATER
In November 1980, Willum Cubbert celebrated his 34 th birthday. Willum is an architect working for a nightmare of a boss, his girlfriend Tansy is leaving to become a meteorologist in Washington, D.C., and the IRS is bringing down the mother of all tax audits. Life can't get any worse, or so Willum thinks.
Among the friends who turn out for his birthday party is Rick Steadman, a man who had at one point saved Willum's life in Vietnam. In return, Willum offered to help Rick in any way.
Rick crashes the party and then William's life. Rick ruins William's career and love life and makes a general pain of himself with his horrible manners and incessant fascination with learning the tambourine (at all hours of the night and morning). With the aid of Tansy and his ambiguously homosexual friend Axel, Willum takes on the task of trying to rid himself of his new roommate without being ungrateful or blatantly rude.
This situational comedy by Larry Shue is a gut-busting hoot. Ken Remmert plays the roommate from hell with such panache that one cannot help but feel
sorry for Craig Benton's Willum.
The company is talented and the sets and costumes take you back to the "hip pad" of the 1980s.
Clad in gaucho pants, Jennifer Mays is a wonderful Tansy. She and Benton have good chemistry. Throw Ron Megee into the mix as the wise-cracking, pessimistic drama queen with a love for Jack Daniels and the show's chuckles never seem to stop.
Kip Niven, Licia Watson and P.J. Lawhon serve as a wonderful set of characters to fill out the cast and make the evening resonate with laughter (and screams, and shouts, and crashing dishes). It's a show you should see if you're up in Kansas City this February with $23 in your pocket (or $46 if you want to take that special somebody out for Valentine's Day).

CAPOTE
Director Bennett Miller's acclaimed film, Capote, discusses the repercussions of four senseless murders through the eyes of the larger-than-life personality of Truman Capote.
Capote tells the story of how Truman Capote came to write In Cold Blood, the revolutionary non-fiction novel about the deaths of a family of four, the Clutters, by Perry Edward Smith and Richard Hickock in Holcomb, Kansas in 1959. Unable to find a rumored $10,000 in the family's farmhouse, Smith goes on a rampage and kills the family with a
facet of Capote: his charm, arrogance sharp wilt, graciousness and alienation
For the most part, this dark and layered film succeeds, due to a tight script and strong supporting performances. Philip Seymour Hoffman brilliantly embodies every
MOVIE
N. B. TERRELL
bullet to each head.
This film explores the eerie and tense relationship between Capote and Smith as well as Capote's friendship with author Harper Lee. Catherine Keener, as Lee, is the wonderfully level- headed counterpart to Capote's bravado. Clifton Collins Jr.gives a sturdy performance as the menacing Perry, capturing both the monster and the quiet man within.
During much of this film Truman Capote is seen as a brilliant and misunderstood bystander who desperately tries to find logic in a senseless and hideous crime.
This is an engaging and devastating film. Yet, despite Hoffman's flawless performance and a few laughs, Capote still feels almost as cold as the murders themselves.

The Elected MUSIC Sun, Sun, Sun
Sun, Sun, Sun is the second album from The Elected, which is fronted by Rilo Kiley's Blake Sennett, and features Mike "Caveman" Bloom, Ozma's Daniel
Brummel on bass and Ryland Steen (of Reel Big Fish) and Jason Boesel sharing drum duties. It also features guest performances by Rilo's frontwoman, Jenny Lewis, and Eisley's singer/ keyboard player, Stacy DuPree.
Eagle
This album is a natural progression from the band's last album - rich in Elliott Smith-like vocal melodies and an alt-country feel mixed with an experimental edge. Though, unlike a lot of alt-country bands, The Elected doesn't waste an entire album writing repetitive mid-tempo songs about driving.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Not Going Home," a song Sennett has said is about being on tour with Rilo Kiley and accepting
the fact that the tour bus is now his home. Another favorite is the stripped down acoustic song,"Sun, Sun, Sun," where Sennett lets go and gives one of his most emotional performances on the album.
With Sun,
Sun, Sun, The Elected manage to make a
great alt-country album while adding their own fresh twist on it. Adding saxophones, trumpets, piano and more help to bring well-deserved attention to The Elected, who have made an album better than their first.

The Matrix: Path of Neo
Now this is what it's like to be in The Matrix A good old-fashioned brawler is a good way to go.
You assume the identity of Neo, "the one," savior of mankind, as you travel through each of The Matrix movies. The game goes beyond the movies.
The main focus of the game is hand-to-hand combat. As the game still supports a gun-battling engine, the hand-to-hand combat system is more thorough. The button combination system is hard to get used to. Knowing when to press the buttons in the sequences can become quite difficult since the timing feels off at times. As in the
movies, Nee has the ability to fight multiple opponents at one time and make it look like a fluid dance. But, once again, it's all about button timing.
The graphics may not be the best, but Path of Neo makes up for it in the game play. The characters don't look realistic in the slightest and the environment isn't a real spectacle.
agents.
The gameplay is pretty straightforward:
You have many enemies coming at you and it's up to you to defeat them all.
However, some levels go off in a tangent such as escaping from the Merovingian online maze and getting through the subway trying to escape
The game isn't a hard game to comprehend and at least deserves a rental.

VALENTINE'S DAY? I'D RATHER SKIP IT.
10
How I skipped my way to Valentine's Day satisfaction.
SKIP IT
by Lindsey Ramsey
Perhaps I have unorthodox views on holidays. For me, Thanksgiving is a time for Star Wars marathons, not Macy's parades. Christmas is for karaoke and Italian or Mexican or Barbecue feasts, not carols or ham.
On St.Patrick's Day, instead of drinking green beer and celebrating my family's Irish heritage, we tend to bury cats that have been either run over (by my mom, 1994) or frightened to death by my sister's driving (1998). Hopefully, my two current cats can make it through this year's celebration unscathed.
Easter Is when I gorge myself on brisket. And Valentine's Day . . . is a decidedly unromantic opportunity to score a midwinter gift from the parents.
GREG GRIESENAUER
It was perfect, blue blue and complete with a counter. It gleamed under the kitchen table light. Unable to contain myself, I grabbed the Skip-It and ran into the garage. I was supposed to leave for school in minutes, but I couldn't wait. I needed to Skip-It and I needed to Skip-It now. I carefully slipped my Jelly-adorned foot into the Jagged plastic hoop. I pulled up my sock so as to not acquire injury from the plastic rubbing repeatedly on my little ankle (Yes, I was wearing Jellies with socks. It was February). I set the counter to zero and prepared for my first skip. I took a deep breath, Jerkily
As a perpetually single woman, I have fallen victim to the agony of Valentine's Day. But I would prefer not to think of my romantic status on this fine February day. I prefer to think of the time two people reached out and touched my soul. The day they gave me a Valentine's Day when I felt truly loved.
It was third grade. As a feisty 9-year-old, Valentine's Day meant nothing to me except the opportunity to decorate a shoebox and give valentines to all my friends. On this particular Valentine's Day, I woke up and engaged in the usual Ramsev morning debate.
"I'm too sick to go to school," I whined. My mother, being my elementary school's secretary, never bought it. "But it's Valentine's Day, you get to have a party," she said. This was enough to convince me.
As I finally made my way downstairs, I saw a brightly wrapped package on the table. All lies about sickness vanished as I ran to the table to rip into the wrapping paper and find out what oddly-shaped object my parents had decided to bestow upon me. Bits of paper fell around me as I unveiled my gift, a gift that really showed how much my parents loved me and made me feel loved; a shiny, blue Skip-it.
swung my leg and jumped with my other, I was in heaven.
I skipped until Secretary Ramsey dragged the Skip-it off my foot and sent me off to school, promising I could skip until the counter broke when I got home. For the rest of that Valentine's Day nothing else mattered. It didn't matter that my third-grade crush didn't give me a valentine. All that mattered was that my parents had given me something truly special. Sure, I was in third grade, but I didn't need a significant other to enjoy Valentine's Day.
As I've gotten older, I've had my fair share of bad Valentine's Days. In seventh grade, my boyfriend gave me a dozen roses and then broke up with me two days later for someone else. In high school, on four Valentine's Days, I watched in envy as my friends got "crush cans," flowers and singing telegrams delivered to them in class. Even last year, excited about the prospect that Valentine's Day may not translate to Italy, I was subjected to beautiful Italians making out on bridges all to the tune of
Dean Martin's "That's Amore." Despite these ill attempts at a more traditional romantic Valentine's Day, my parents and friends have always been there. I have an incredible family that loves me more than anything and friends who like me a lot, too, and for that, I am thankful. And although Skip-it and I have long since parted ways, I have always remembered how it made me feel: loved and valued. So, to Skip-it, wherever you are, I will always love you. And, Skip-it, I know you will always love me back.

Downtown still thriving
BY DJUAN ATWAY
datway@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Bars and nightclubs in downtown Lawrence appear not to have lost business from students or increased their security policies, despite the shooting earlier this week.
Jerry Neverve, owner of Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., said he thought the aftermath of the fatal shooting Sunday morning outside The Granada nightclub, 1020 Massachusetts St., had not influenced bars or clubs in downtown Lawrence to change their security protocol. In the shooting, one man died and another was injured.
"It's a real shame, I feel sorry for what happened to the victims," Neverve said. "The incident which occurred is an anomaly; I am concerned, but it is not an epidemic."
Owners, bar employees and students have labeled the event tragic, and an isolated incident, but it has not deterred KU students from continuing to venture to downtown Lawrence. Bar owners such as Neverve are concerned about the events but not enough to change the normal safety procedures that currently exist.
Mike Hicks, Lawrence sophomore, visited Quentin's Bar and Deli, 615 Massachusetts St., on Tuesday night and said he was not afraid to venture downtown nor did he witness a huge increase in bar security.
"Security might heighten a little after the Granada incident, but something like that only happens once in a while," he said. "You can't predict when something like that might happen again."
Some of the bars and clubs in downtown Lawrence deploy different security measures to maintain a peaceful atmosphere. Most of the bars and clubs employ only doormen to confirm patron's IDs and bouncers to ensure customers do not become overly disruptive.
Saturday nights at Last Call, 729 New Hampshire St., the club's regular hip-hop night, security guards frisk patrons prior to entering the club. On Fridays, Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., implements an identification policy requiring customers to provide a college identification card as well as a state identification card.
Neverve said that in his 13 years as the owner of Red Lyon there had been only two fights and that he had
no plans to increase security. Neverve dismissed the idea of having more visible police officers in downtown and said the key to sustaining a positive ambiance relied on staff training.
"I tell my employees to be aware of your customers and to constantly observe the environment," Neverve said. "Customers who do not want to comply are politely shown the door."

STUDENT SENATE
Fees target of campaign
BY NICHELE KELLEY
nkelley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Student Voice is the third coalition to add its name to the spring election ballots. But its focus will be on an agenda much different than most.
Dennis Chanay, Paola sophomore, who will be running as the coalition presidential candidate, said the purpose of the coalition's campaign will be to introduce a budget amendment that forces major cutbacks in spending and student fees.
"We don't have to worry about if we get elected or not; we just want to get the fee cut passed," he said. "We're running basically for publicity."
Chanay said getting separate referendums that appear on ballots passed was harder than the coalition platforms because people pay less attention to them. For this reason, his coalition decided to use its position in the elections to get students to listen to its message as many times as possible.
Student Voice's main issues will be to tighten spending budgets
and to reduce student fees by at least $100. Jack Connor, Overland Park sophomore, said the coalition wanted to draw attention to the fact that Student Senate currently has so much money to work with that it isn't worrying enough about who it is giving it to.
"We think the culture of Senate is that, 'We have a lot of money, so let's spend it,'" Connor said. "That money doesn't come from nowhere. It comes from students who pay fees so we should think very hard about how we should spend it."
Chanay said he wanted to show students how much fees have gone up over the years and make it harder for it to happen in the future.
"Last year we were really disturbed about the number of people who voted," he said. "The amount of money spent is disproportional to the number of people who are interested."
A vice presidential candidate has not yet been chosen. The coalition doesn't plan to run any candidates other than a president and a vice president.

also excelled at what he did.
Parks was born in 1912 in Fort Scott. He garnered nausea for becoming the first African-American photographer to work at the magazines Life and Vogue. Parks started off as a fashion photographer at Life, but became a significant photographer for the magazine during the Civil Rights Movement. He photographed many of the most notable African-American leaders of the time, including Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
His first novel, "The Learning Tree," was published in 1963 and transformed into a movie with the same title. Parks also experienced success

Bush defends spying
BY DEB RIECHMANN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Under fire for eavesdropping on Americans, President Bush said Thursday that spy work stretching from the U.S. to Asia helped thwart terrorists plotting to use shoe bombs to hijack an airliner and crash it into the tallest skyscraper on the West Coast.
"It took the combined efforts of several countries to break up this plot," Bush said. "By working together we stopped a catastrophic attack on our homeland."
Some information about the foiled attack was disclosed last year, but Bush offered more details to highlight international cooperation in fighting terrorists. He did not say whether information about the West Coast plot was collected by his administration's program to monitor _ without court warrants _ some calls and e-mails between people overseas and in the U.S. when links to terrorism are suspected.
The White House said that issue was not the point of the speech, but the president and his advisers have been vigorously defending the legality of the program, which has been questioned by both Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
After weeks of insisting that divulging details of the monitoring program would hinder intelligence gathering, the White House relented Wednesday and began briefing some additional lawmakers.

GET READY FOR THE BEAKEND
BY JEFF BRISCOE

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
KU students have two thoughts this weekend. Valentine's Day and anything but Valentine's Day. The weekend provides several opportunities for a pre-Valentine's Day date to set the mood or an evening out to forget about all the hoopla.
The Turtle Island String Quartet will be performing at 7:30 p.m. at the Lied Center. Students can take the money they are not spending on Valentine's Day chocolates and grab a seat for a mere $11.50. Prices increase for KU staff and general admission tickets, but jazz and folk music rarely get any better than the Turtle Island String Quartet.
Movie theaters will open two new movies this weekend. "Final Destination 3" opens today, and if the promotional tag, "the ride that will be the death of you," doesn't send your date cuddling into your arms, nothing will. At the opposite end of the spectrum, "Pink Panther" premiers as well. Steve Martin stars in the remake of the classic comedy. Both movies show at South Wind 12, 3433 Iowa St.
Girls love guys who can make them laugh, and guys love free dates. Student Union Activities is sponsoring "Stand-Up Stand-
Off," an improv comedy competition, today. The free event starts at 7 p.m. at the Hawks Nest in the Kansas Union. Try impressing your crush with some funnies, but if that special someone doesn't fall head-over-heels for you, don't fret. This qualifying round provides the opportunity to win cash prizes during the final competition in March.
For an early start to the weekend, the English Department is sponsoring a poetry reading this afternoon. Celebrated Irish poet Kevin Higgins will read selected poems and sign copies of his book, "The Boy With No Face." The reading will take place at 2 p.m. at the Jahyawk Room in the Kansas Union.
Finally, if you don't feel like late nights at the bars this weekend, SUA plays host to cosmic bowling in the Kansas Union. The event features music and free bowling from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. both Friday and Saturday night. It could be another good date opportunity or an occasion to hang out with friends without busting your wallet.
So while the basketball game Saturday might give you a reason to procrastinate for a few hours, the weekend provides plenty of other good reasons to avoid studying.

Karen Gould, a provost candidate listens to a question from William Scott, professor of English at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics on Thursday evening. Gould is currently the Dean of the McMicker, College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Cincinnati.

Discussing what she termed an "innovation of impact," Gould said the University needed to plan more strategically to get more out of a limited budget.
2. Breaking the gender barrier
The 18-member committee will then meet, determine which of the candidates are acceptable and provide the feedback collected from the presentations to Chancellor Robert Hemenway, who will make the final decision.
Gould said that opportunities for student leadership at the University could be expanded and that she valued student input.

She said that although the University of Kansas had strong international programs, they could be further promoted. She said she'd like to increase the number of students with international internships and the number of minority students who study abroad. According to a survey by the American Association of Universities, only 1 percent of minority students nationwide study abroad.
"I think that it's important because it helps develop trust from the students' point of view that the provost is listening and learning as they lead," she said.
Gould is currently the dean of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Cincinnati.
The final provost candidate has spoken.
Jeff Aube, chairman of the provost search committee, said the committee had received a lot of feedback about the candidates

Oprah Winfrey signs deal for radio talk show
in September, Winfrey and XM announced Thursday.
The new channel, "Oprah & Friends," will air programming on fitness, health and self-improvement topics with personalities that appear on Winfrey's TV program, "The Oprah Winfrey Show," as well as in O, The Oprah Magazine. It will
also feature a weekly radio show with Winfrey and Gayle King, a frequent guest on her TV show.
NEW YORK — Oprah Winfrey has signed a three-year, $55 million deal with XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. to launch a new radio channel beginning
The $55 million deal is a far cry from the five-year, cash-and-stock deal that rival satellite radio-broadcaster Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. has with morning shock jock Howard
Stern. Originally worth $500 million when it was signed in 2004, Stern's deal is now worth $600 million due to appreciation of Sirius' stock price. XM also has signed other big programming contracts, including an 11-year, $650 million deal for Major League Baseball.

"Quote of the Day"
"A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read."
Fact of the day
In the 120 episodes of "Legends of the Hidden Temple," a game show that aired on Nickelodeon from 193 to 1995, only 32 episodes featured teams successfully making it out of the temple with the artifact, thereby winning the grand prize.

The 28-year-old freelance reporter for The Christian Science Monitor said she had sent one letter and was sending another to "prove I am with the mujahedeen."
CORRECTIONS
An article in Thursday'sThe University Daily Kansan contained errors. In the article, "Stem cell initiative requires education," the columnist incorrectly asserted that the amendment being proposed would mandate state funding. No state funding is required by the amendment.The language of the amendment also needs to be clarified. Embryotic stem cell research is already legal in Missouri; the amendment would
guarantee it remained that way. Also, the amendment provides for a 15-year jail term and monetary fines for anyone who is convicted of cloning for reproductive purposes.
$ \triangleleft $ Thursday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article, "Group wants better busing," misquoted Derek Zarda, president of AbleHawks. The buses at the University of Michigan have an automated voice stating where the bus driver has stopped for the visually impaired students.

HOROSCOPES
ARIES (March 21-April 19) *****
Your strength of personality emerges when dealing with basic issues. You might be surprised at the many different possibilities that open up when you say, "No, I want something different."
Let your imagination loose.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ******
Sometimes you are much stronger and more determined than you realize. Others back off and part the way for you. It seems as if you have many more solutions than you are aware of. Someone might find you a bit pushy, Yes, you
GEMINI (May 21- June 20) ****
Recognize that everyone has his or her limits – even you. Do you really want to cause yourself additional angst by spending and overindulging? Ultimately, how good is this behavior for you?
Work on being good to yourself.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ******
You have a way of drawing reactions
that can sometimes be disconcerting.
Step back, and use your high energy
to create more of what you want out of
life. You can do it -- promise. Aim, and
you could hit the bull's-eye.
LEG (July 23-Aug. 22) *
Take your time making a decision.
You might not be comfortable with someone's drive and pushiness. Quite clearly, this person wants his or her way only. Be as reasonable as possible, as you do have to "answer" to this person. You know what works; do just that.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) *****
Seek out facts and only facts, Virgo.
Discard hearse and passim. Strong actions right now will result in success. Do not hesitate, but rather zero in on what you must do or really would like to do. Meetings prove to be lucky.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ******
Do loosen up and don't get uptight.
Others might challenge your direction and leadership. Realize that you have more impact than you are aware of.
Integrate what you judge to be good ideas. Others will follow your lead.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ******
Being able to take the high road can make or break your day. Don't get triggered by someone who is very difficult. You need to claim your power and bypass a problem.
You will naturally find solutions.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) *****
Others want it their way. Why not let them have what they want instead of fighting the trend? Ultimately, you will be much happier. See what others create.
They also need to see the end results. Help out after the final results are in.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) *****
You will want others to tell it like it is. Your imagination might be challenged by someone else's haste.
Others appreciate your ability to find answers and solve problems.
Be careful with a moody loved one.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★
Be more nurturing to someone who frequently has a difficult time. You will want to lie back and take your time with someone you find difficult. Don't indulge in impatience. Stay even.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★*
What you say might be strong and
forceful, but will draw the response you
need. Another needs this wake-up call.
Your creativity will surge to a new level
if you allow others to challenge you.

OUR OPINION
Downtown violence originates elsewhere
In early Oct. 2003, a man fired into a crowd outside its Brothers Bar & Grill, 1105 Massachusetts St. Ricocheting bullets and debris injured 11 people. A Topeka man pleaded guilty to the crime.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2006
As Lawrence has grown, it has become a hub of activity. There are frequent shows and concerts. This brings in people from outside the community who might not be the most courteous of visitors.
In March 2005, a convenience store on 23rd Street was looted by about 100 people, who were believed to have been at Last Call 729 New Hampshire St., before the incident. Although no arrests were made, the clerk on duty noted that several of the looters' cars bore Missouri license plates.
The shooting on Massachusetts Street has sent bad vibes throughout the Lawrence and University communities. City commissioners have voiced their reactions to what they rightfully see as a serious problem. An unscientific online poll by The University Daily Kansan revealed that while half those polled felt no real concern after the incident, 34 percent felt less secure and 12 percent said the incidents would keep them from going out as much as before.
The early morning incident was a link in a long chain of events and problems during the past several years concerning violence and crime. Students and their parents should be concerned, but also should realize it's not really a problem of the community itself.
No arrests have been made in this week's shooting, either, but the man who was killed was from Topeka. The other victim, who is hospitalized, is from Kansas City.
Issue: Violent crime in Lawrence
Stance: Put criminal identities in context.
An unfortunate consequence of these crimes is that Lawrence may gain a bad reputation. The University's image could suffer, too. Who wants to attend a school that is surrounded by violent crime? And who would send their child to such a place?
13
People should realize that the people who committed these crimes are not the same people sitting next to them in class, cheering with them at a Jayhawk sporting event or walking down Jayhawk Boulevard. These individuals do not have the same ties to the community as the students.
Many of those involved in the recent crimes are college-aged, even though few have been associated with the University. We are concerned that the demographics of age and culture would cause those outside the city to associate the crimes with the University.
The bottom line is that the city should welcome people who want to enjoy Lawrence and gain from what it has to offer, but there are visitors who cause problems and concern. For their own safety, students should know what surroundings they're in and with whom, but they should not let these incidents get in the way of enjoying the local scene.

'Infotainment' signals end of real journalism
COMMENTARY
PAGE 5A
Dave Ries
That same summer, a Senate panel grilled professional baseball players about the use of steroids. As George Henson of Dallas said in a letter to the New York Times in August of 2005, "All the feigned shock and awe about Rafael Palmeiro's steroid use is about as newsworthy as the runaway bride." One couldn't turn on the television without seeing concerned, paunchy white men frowning down at gargantuan athletes.
There has been a slow, almost imperceptible, movement of the American media to focus on the fluff and ignore the substance. And, the forecast on the horizon is bleak. The traditional newsroom is becoming a relic. Large corporations have slowly gobbled up papers across the nation, and bit by bit have gutted newsrooms and left reporters to walk in their own entrails, so to speak.
American journalism is in trouble. This summer, while images of the "runaway bride" were splashed across our television screens, Turkey was denied entry into the European Union and the future of the EU stood on shaky grounds. Although this event would have lasting effects on the American economy and diplomatic relationships, the American press barely stirred.
er chances for journalists to catch a scandal. Increased tripe means we're more likely to alienate readers fed up with "infotainment."
MARK VIERTHALER opinion@kansan.com
Corporations tend to shy away from controversial stories, so the fluff is played off as "hard-hitting" news. Fewer reporters means few-
The Michael Jackson trial saw swarms of reporters, hitting on such "late-breaking news" as Jackson showing up in pajamas. With all the reporters clamoring and braying questions at Jackson from behind a fence, it wasn't so much a media circus as a media zoo.
We, as journalists need to get back to our roots. Perhaps not in the style of writing of the 1930s and 40s, but to the core of what the fourth estate is all about: Hard news that affects the public.
Journalism has to evolve if we want to stay relevant. But, we cannot lose our values along the way. A newspaper is not the place for headlines trumpeting the break up of flash-in-the-pan celebrities. The newspaper is a vehicle to change minds, to inform the public and to be the guardians of the people.
It's a profession that once harbored bulldogs like Woodward Bemstein and H.L. Mencken. We've never been popular, but now we're openly mocked. Now we have Geraldo.
A revolution must come from within the journalistic community. It's time to hit the streets, dig for information and let people know what is happening in the world and how it affects them.
Paris Hilton doesn't matter. Michael Jackson doesn't matter. The runaway bride doesn't matter. Celebrity doesn't necessitate a front page, above the fold article.
For God's sake, President Theodore Roosevelt gave us the name "muckraker" because reporters were willing to crawl on their hands and knees through the fifth to get the story. What the hell happened to that?
It is a knife my heart to see readership declining in newspapers. It makes me nauseous to see the break of Brad and Jen as the second headline on BBC
It doesn't have to be sensational; it doesn't have to send the country into turmoil like the Watengate stories. It can be as simple as preventing a city commission from screwing over the "little guy." Carl Hiaasen, Miami Herald columnist, often bemoans the dangers of not being a watchdog for the people that your paper serves.
The journalistic community owes it to readers. We are a waypoint between point A and point B, and it's high time for a new golden age of journalistic integrity. For the rest, let them read People.

COMMENTARY
As society changes, women change leadership
It scares some and empowers others. The ever increasing presence of women in leadership positions in the present generation is a far cry from mere decades ago.
The 21st century has revolutionized the professional mobility of women by leaps and bounds. However, it's undeniable that obstacles still exist in our society's opinion of women, and even some women's opinions of themselves.
Yet while the system is still hardly equal opportunity, many women are visible as leaders. And what's more is that beyond holding leadership positions, they're doing well. They're successful.
JESSICA RENEZ
women have embraced positions from CEOs to senators, and in doing so are slowly providing society with a comfort and a confidence in the ability of women to handle two roles that society had previously viewed as impractical and incompatible: Being a woman and a leader.
At any given time it is possible to see women in positions of prominence. Diane Sawyer reigns over ABC broadcasts, Condoleezza Rice oversees foreign relations and Melinda Gates was recently named one of Time magazine's Persons of the Year for her philanthropic involvement.
KELLY COCHRAN
opinion@kansan.com
This growth is of profound importance not only for the people who couldn't or wouldn't accept the professional and leadership equality of the sexes, but also for the women who need to see their own abilities reflected in other women who have done well.
The most prominent leadership position is the presidency, and in the upcoming 2008 election, we will no doubt be seeing Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., as a Democratic nominee. She is a highly viable contender because of her overwhelming success as a senator.
While the United States has not yet had a woman president, other nations have. Consider the recent election of Chile's president.
Michelle Bachelet. A medical doctor and former minister of defense, Bachelet is embracing ideals that should help eliminate the hostile dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet.
Her goals of improving relations with neighbors and pursuing free trade and open market policies have instilled confidence in the Chilean population. But what's most refreshing and most important about the election of Bachelet is that her history and ability overshadowed her status as a woman.
In other words, she was elected not because she was a woman, but because she was the best person for the job. This principle should begin to redefine the world's way of leading. This is the kind of achievement that should not only
Instead, it's when we've embraced the method of electing leaders based solely on their ability and qualifications, when age, sex, race and religion become as unimportant as hair color that leadership will truly revolutionize.
speak to women, but should set an example for anyone that leads and anyone that follows.
The increasing leadership and success of women is important not only for females, but for leadership as an institution.
It is important for our society to reach a point where we aren't following leaders simply because they identify with our own sex, our own race or our own religion.
- Cochran is a Mission sophomore in journalism.
Obstacles obstruct women in politics
During Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun's introduction before her speech at the Dole Institute on Tuesday, the associate director of the institute, Jonathan Earle, threw out a set of statistics that shocked me. Although 45 percent of Americans thought women would be superior to men in domestic policy, only 23 percent said women would be better than men in areas of national security. What? Do people really think that Bush has been doing that great of a job? Come on, America. This is the age of Tae Bo and Pilates. Women can kick butt just as well as any man.
COMMENTARY
There is also a general noninterest in voting in primary elections. What most of America does not understand is that we have to get a woman on the ballot before we can vote for her. We haven't managed it yet. One reason for this, cited by Moseley Braun on Tuesday, was that women, as non-traditional candidates, have trouble getting money to fund their campaigns. Sen. Elizabeth Dole made it very clear that she had to withdraw from the election race due to a lack of funds, citing the "75 or 80-to-1 cash advantage" her rivals "enjoyed" over her. Moseley Braun also made a reference to her own "shoestring effort" and admitted that she had not been able to collect enough campaign funds to make it through the first primary election.
That statistic makes a strong example, however, of prejudices that are holding us back from electing a woman president. In an era of gender equality and television programs like "Commander In Chief," it seems like most of the public is ready and willing to see a woman in office. Although there is still a group of "good old boys," who refuse to entertain such a "preposterous" idea, I believe they are in the minority.
These reasons merely mark the terrible gender prejudices and apathy toward national issues that still breed in America. I think that America should be ashamed that we are still so far behind in equality in the political arena. America needs to get it together and break one of its last standing gender barriers, and we need to do it soon. Once we elect one woman, it will cease to be such an obstacle to elect another. It doesn't matter whether it is Hillary Rodham Clinton, (although she would most definitely have my vote) Condoleezza Rice or Carol Moseley Braun herself. The time has come, as Moseley Braun has said over and over again, "to take the 'Men Only' sign off the White House door."
♦ Cassie Gentry is a Piper freshman in English.
So, if most of America is ready to put a woman in the White House, why hasn't it happened yet? I believe it comes down to the fact that the wrong people are voting. According to the U.S.Census, there was 21 percent more Americans 65 and older registered than 18 to 24 year-olds in 2004. I think most people will agree that the older population is less likely to make a radical political change than younger students.

Caroline Smith, Edina, Minn., senior, stands in front of a picture of herself playing soccer in the Booth Family Hall of Athletics. Smith made a name for herself by becoming the all-time leader in goals, points and assists.

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
What would you do to relax if you were at the end of four years of early morning workouts, weight-lifting sessions, and conditioning drills in preparation for games? Take a vacation? Be a regular student? Or would you train even more?
"The runs are really tough, but I have a lot of free time on my hands," said Smith, Edina, Mjnn. senior.
It may not be normal to want to undertake such a difficult task as a half marathon right after finishing a long athletic career, but Smith is far from a normal soccer player, as evidenced by her list of career accomplishments.
"Right now, I'm actually training for a half marathon," said Caroline Smith, the former Kansas soccer player who is experiencing her first prolonged break from the game.
In her four years as a forward for the Jayhawks, she was twice named to the NSCAA and Soccer Buzz All-American Teams, and was selected to the All Big 12 First Team three times. On top of that, Smith is Kansas' all-time leader in goals, points and assists.
During Smith's career, the Jayhawks advanced further than they ever had before, making two NCAA tournament berths and advancing to the Sweet 16 in her sophomore campaign.
Smith said she wanted the team to continue to make strides
now that she's gone and that she hoped that she had helped turn the program around. Her teammate Holly Gault said that Smith had done just that.
"Caroline is so competitive and makes everyone else on the team want to be the best they can be," the junior defender said. "Her individual accolades brought recognition and respect to the whole team."
Smith said that although she was optimistic about the program's future and was planning on staying close to the game by coaching youth soccer, she already knew something was missing from her life. She has played soccer since she was three years old and this was the first time since her toddler days that she had not played on an official team.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
"It hasn't hit me all the way yet," Smith said. "It still feels like it's the offseason, but once it gets warmer its going to get harder."
While it may be difficult for Smith to not play soccer anymore, the career path she wishes to travel may prove even more challenging. She has applied for medical school at Kansas and at the University of Minnesota in hopes of becoming a surgeon. Smith, who is slated for graduation this spring, especially wants to help injured athletes with this occupation, she said.
"As an athlete, I've dealt with injuries and know how hard they are to deal with," Smith said. "I want to be sure that I can help other athletes overcome their injuries."

KU VS. MU 3 P.M. SATURDAY, MIZZOU ARENA
SCORE
Missouri Tigers (16-6, 6-4 Big 12)
Player to watch:
Key to victory:
Missouri must be aggressive on offense against a struggling Kansas defense. If the Tigers can jump out to an early lead, the Jayhawks will have trouble getting the necessary stops on defense to spark a run. Missouri can't afford to give up as many three-point shots as it did Wednesday night against Iowa State, because Kansas' guards can be just as dangerous from behind the arc.
Missouri senior guard LaToya Bond is among the top guards in the conference. She's a threat on both ends of the floor, averaging 19 points and nearly three steals a game. With Kansas' defense struggling, especially on the road, look for Bond to put up big numbers.
Season in review:
Missouri cannot afford to lose any more games against lower-tier conference teams, like Iowa State. The Tigers are limping toward March, dropping three of their past five games. The team's NCAA tournament hopes hinge on sweeping through the remainder of its schedule. Missouri will finish the season against the five worst teams in the Big 12.
Last time out:
Ryan Schneider
Red-hot three-point shooting by Iowa State doomed Missouri Wednesday night in Ames, Iowa. Missouri dropped its fourth Big 12 Conference game of the season, 66-60. The Tigers couldn't match the Cyclones' 46 percent three-point shooting in the second half. Missouri senior center Cristelle N'Garsanet paced all scorers with 24 points and 12 rebounds.
KU
Kansas Jayhawks (14-7,3-7 Big 12)
Player to watch:
Senior guard Erica Hallman fluctuates between unstoppable and struggling but rarely falls in the middle. Wednesday night, she scored 18 points in a loss to Oklahoma. If she finds a hot shooting touch, it will take pressure off of Kansas' forwards. It will also give coach Bonnie Henrickson a chance to rotate her bench players into the lineup.
Key to victory:
The entire Jayhawk lineup, not just senior forward/center Crystal Kemp, will have to show up defensively. Guards Ivana Catic and Kaylee Brown will have to hold Missouri below 50 percent shooting, and not allow the Tigers to go on a big run early. Kansas will no doubt be watching tape of how Iowa State managed to hold the Tigers to just 25 points in the second half of their game Wednesday.
Season in review:
Put simply, this is a must-win game for the lav

hawks. The standard to make the NCAA tournament is an 8-8 conference record, and the Jayhawks are at 3-7. They need to win two of their final three road games, with trips to Iowa State and Texas Tech looming. History is working against the Jayhawks, as they have yet to win a game away from the Fieldhouse this season.
Erica Hallman
Last time out:
A visit to No. 9 Oklahoma did not go well for Kansas, which lost 86-57. After the game, Henrickson was frustrated at her team's lack of defensive intensity, something that will have to be in place to stop Missouri's shooters. Seniors Kemp and Hallman were the bright spots for the Jayhawks, scoring a combined 39 points. Freshman guard Ivana Catic struggled, and played only 18 minutes.

DOWN THE HALL
Crafty guard leads way
The tear-drop, the floater, the one-handed runner in the lane, and the three-point shot all have one thing in common. They are all tricks that freshman Mario Chalmers has in his hat. After his performance against Nebraska on Wednesday night, he's starting to become "Super Mario" in my mind.
I watched the best player in college basketball, J.J. Redick of Duke, single-handedly dismantle North Carolina down the stretch Tuesday night. He had 35 points for the game. It was his best performance ever against the rival Tar Heels.
M. SAVANELLA
As I was watching Reddick play,
I couldn't get over how amazing
TIM HALL thall@kansan.com
he was. I don't care that he's endlessly taunted on the road, because this guy will be a great pro player. He will go down as one of the best pure shooters of all-time, among names such as Indiana State great Larry Bird and Iowa State legend Jeff Hornacek. I had the thought that Redick would be named the National Player of the
Year this season, and I wondered if anyone on Kansas' squad could one day get that same honor. Then I watched Chalmers play Nebraska on Wednesday night.
Anyone who watched that game knows Chalmers was responsible for extending the lead in that game and taking the Jayhawks to an easy road victory. He took control of a game in which Kansas star Brandon Rush scored only six points on 3-11 shooting. During the first half when Chalmers only had four points, Coach Bill Self told him to keep shooting and keep squaring to the basket.

'Hawks to face No.19 Stanford
BASEBALL

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Senior pitcher Kodiak Quick hated watching from the dugout as his old team beat up on his new team last season.
Two seasons ago, right-hander Quick (1-0, 1.29) played for Stanford.
Last season, Quick's first as a Ja'hawk, he did not throw against his old teammates when the Ja-hawks traveled to Palo Alto, Calif.
But Quick will be pitching this year when Kansas faces No. 19 Stanford for the third consecutive year. The three game series in California starts tonight, and Quick is
scheduled to pitch on Sunday to close out the three-game series.
The most efficient of the pitches in Hawaii, Quick threw for seven innings in his first start of 2006, the most of any Kansas pitchers last weekend. He allowed six hits and one run while striking out six in the season opener.
"It'll be different," Quick said last month. "And I get to play, too, so it's going to be play. I'm excited to go back out there, see some old friends and beat them."
The weekend will kick off the uphill battle the Jayhawks must climb in the non-conference season before conference play begins in March. Judging by Stanford's
"It's a big weekend no doubt about it," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "It's one of the great places in America to play, and certainly one of the most storied college baseball programs in history. We're excited about it."
season-opening sweep of No. 9 Cal State Fullerton, Kansas will have its work cut out.
The laj Hawks are 0-6 against Stanford overall, but the teams look similar this season. The Cardinal return six position players and a starting pitcher to the field this season. The laj Hawks return seven position players and two starting pitchers.

Missouri coach Quin Snyder is restrained by player Marshall Brown while reacting to a referee's call on Jan. 25 in Columbia, Mo. Synder was later ejected from the game. Iowa State won 82-58.
Snyder: Not leaving any time soon
Rich Suos/ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY R.B. FALLSTROM
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Embattled Missouri coach Quin Snyder said Thursday he has not been asked to resign, and has no intention of doing so.
"It hasn't been suggested to me," Snyder said. "There's been plenty of times that option could have come up. I'm coaching my team, so I'm going to keep doing that until someone tells me not to, keep working as hard as I can."
Missouri is 10-11 and has lost six straight, all by double digits, heading into Sunday's home game against Kansas State. During Snyder's seven seasons, the program has been marred by a scandal related to troubled point guard Ricky Clemons, resulting in probation last season, and a steady decline in victories.
Snyder, a protege of Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, was hired to take Missouri to national prominence and had 20-win teams three of his first four seasons after Norm Stewart retired. In the three seasons the, once-proud program is 42-42. Missouri is in 11th place in the Big 12 with a 3-7 record, and attendance has plummeted at the year-old Mizzou Sports Arena.
"There certainly is frustration." Snyder said. "As a coach I want my team to play better and I know I'm responsible for that. But until that question poses itself, I'm going to say my party line: It's not about me, it's about our team and trying to win games."
Athletic director Mike Alden did not return a telephone
message from The Associated Press.
Missouri has six games left in the regular season to turn it around and little reason for optimism beyond Snyder's pie-in-the-sky musings before shaking off flu-like symptoms and running practice Thursday: "Yeah, sure, why not? Improbable things have happened."
Snyder hasn't given up. He benched leading scorer Thomas Gardner in the second half at Texas Tech ensuring a loss to remind players they have to play defense, too, and he was looking forward to spreading his lineup in practice Thursday
to encourage more drives to the basket. He'll encourage players to play loose, and not worry about missing a shot.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
"Obviously we'd like to be winning, but we're not right now," Snyder said. "We've got to keep working; there's some things we can do."
There are also some things they can't avoid. Players have been bombarded by rumors that their coach won't be back _ many of them before this season even began.
"It's always around you," Gardner said. "It's on campus every day, it's in the papers and stuff, so it's easy to look at it."

Skiers suspended from competition
OLYMPIC GAMES
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURIN, Italy — Eight crosscountry skiers competing in the Olympics, including two Americans, were suspended for five days after they were found to have excessive hemoglobin levels, the International Ski Federation announced Thursday.
None of the skiers suspended were considered serious medal contenders, and it was not immediately clear whether any would be kept from competing under the ban. It was not clear when the ban began.

the ski federation and the International Olympic Committee were not immediately returned early Friday.
The American athletes are Kikkan Randall, 23, from Anchorage, Alaska, and Leif Zimmermann, 22, of Bozeman, Mont. The others are Sean Crooks of Canada, Sergey Dalidovich of Belarus, Jean Marc Gaillard of France, Aleksandr Latzukin of Belarus, Natalia Matveeva of Russia, and Evi Sachenbacher of Germany.
This was the first hint of a drug scandal at this year's games, where the IOC has said it plans to conduct some 1,200 drug tests. As of Tuesday, some 101 IOC drug tests had been conducted with no positive results.
The cross-country testing was done by FIS, which said it sampled 224 athletes over two days this week. Athletes are training for the games at Pragelato.
U. S. Nordic director Luke Bodensteiner could not immediately be reached for comment early Friday.
Under ski federation rules, athletes found to have elevated hemoglobin levels are barred from competing for five days after the date of the test. The federation did not specify what day the tests were administered.
The federation said the competition ban is not a disciplinary action, but taken to "protect the health of the athlete."
Cross-country competition begins Sunday, with the men's and women's pursuit, and continues Tuesday with the men's and women's team sprint.

Wiretap catches the 'Great One'
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TRENTON, N.J. — Wayne Gretzky was recorded on a wiretap talking to the alleged financier of a gambling ring, discussing how the hockey great's wife could avoid being implicated, a person with knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Gretzky, coach and partowner of the Phoenix Coyotes, can be heard on wiretaps made within the past month talking about his wife with assistant coach Rick Tocchet, the person said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing.
Jones has not been charged.
Authorities say from Dec. 29 through Feb. 5 — the day of the Super Bowl — bettors placed a total of $1.7 million in wagers with the ring run by a New Jersey state trooper, Tocchet and a South Jersey man.
Gretzky's wife, actress Janet Jones, allegedly bet at least $100,000 on football games over the course of the investigation by state authorities, the person said.
Investigators say about a half-dozen current NHL players placed bets with the ring and are looking into whether anyone involved in the 5-year-old operation, which authorities said had a connection to organized crime in Philadelphia and southern New Jersey, wagered on NHL
There is no evidence that Gretzky placed any bets, according to the person.
All face charges of promoting gambling, money laundering and conspiracy and are scheduled to be arraigned in Superior Court in Mount Holly on Feb. 21, the state Attorney General's office said Thursday.
games. Gretzky is not the main focus of the probe, the person said.
The Star-Ledger of Newark, citing unidentified law enforcement sources, first reported of a wiretap involving Gretzky in Thursday's newspapers. The newspaper also reported that Jones bet $500,000 during the investigation, including $75,000 on the Super Bowl.
Earlier in the week, Gretzky denied any involvement in the ring.
"My love for her (Jones) is deeper than anything. The reality is, I'm not involved, I wasn't involved and I'm not going to be involved. Am I concerned for both of them? Sure there's concern from me. I'm more worried about them than me. I'm like you guys, I'm trying to figure it all out," Gretzky said Tuesday.
Gretzky did not attend the Coyotes practice in Phoenix on Thursday. He would not be available until after Thursday night's game against the Dallas Stars in Phoenix and the team would not comment, said Coyotes spokesman Rich Nairn.
Lawyers involved in the case said details of the three-month investigation should not be made public.
"I have never been involved in a case where the prosecution has engaged in such inappropriate conduct in terms of making investigators available to the press, appearing on nationally syndicated television," said Kevin Marino, a lawyer for Tocchet, who was granted an indefinite leave from the NHL Wednesday. "It's improper, it's unwarranted and I will not tolerate it."
"We are not going to try this case in the press and we're not going to let them either," he said.

Also similar is the highly talented freshmen that each team will be playing.
Stanford freshman third base man and right-handed pitcher Austin Yount performed well for a rookie against Cal State Fullerton last weekend. In games one and two, Yount was 3 for 7 and blasted a home run while manning third. On the mound, the nephew of former Major Leaguer Robin Yount allowed no runs and just one hit in two innings of relief in the last game of the series.
Kansas will bring freshman talent, too.
Freshman designated hitter Preston Land mashed in his first collegiate weekend. Land drove in four runs, hitting two home runs, and batted. 444 in the Hailo-Hilo series. Despite his success, Land said that he knew better pitching and tougher teams laid ahead.
"I've never faced anybody like that," Land said of No. 19 Stanford's pitchers. "We'll just see what happens when we get out there and I get my first at bat to see how I react."
The first pitch goes out at 7 p.m. at the Sunken Diamond.

Guard
My plea to Mario Chalmers is to listen to Self and score at will. I've seen the type of player Chalmers has been since the beginning of conference play. He's an offensive explosion waiting to burst out. Much like Redick, Chalmers can score whenever he wants, with a wide variety of shots.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
He can pump fake and drive to the basket. He can jump-stop in the lane and elevate over tall defenders with his floater. He has the shot that beat Oklahoma. He used a tear-drop over Nebraska's Aleks Maric in the second half of Wednesday night's victory. He has the coveted three-point shot, and he's shooting it at 41 percent in conference games. He's got everything.
All season long, fans have
tagged Brandon Rush as the superstar on offense. I love Rush, but I see offensive brilliance in a 6-foot-1 guard they call Super Mario. Though he might not ever match J.J. Redick's career points, in a couple seasons, Chalmers will be in the thick of things for a National Player of the Year award.

Stinson only hurdle to Hawk victory
KU Tip-off
ATAGLANCE
The Jayhawks now stand alone in second place in the Big 12 Conference at 7-2 in conference play. Kansas is just one game behind first-place Texas. Kansas is one of the hot-test teams in the country, winning 13 of its past 15 games. Kansas will also want to establish an early lead. The Jayhawks are 13-3 on the season when leading at halftime.
LAST TIME OUT
Kansas was able to get a comfortable 21-point victory despite a six-point output from leading scorer Brandon Rush. Freshman guard Mario Chalmers led the way offensively with 16 secondhalf points. He finished with 20 points in a game that saw all 13 Kansas players see the floor.
Rush. The freshman guard scored just six points Wednesday night. He scored under double figures for the first time in nine games. It is key that Rush responds well and provides another solid effort that Kansas fans have grown accustomed to this season.
5 QUICK FACTS
1 — The number of turnovers for senior guard Jeff Hawkins in the past seven games.
17 — Field goal attempts for Chalmers Wednesday night, a career high.
37. 2. — Percentage opposing teams are shooting against Kansas.
6 — Straight victories for Kansas, helping bring its conference record to 7-2.
4 Three pointers by Mario Chalmers against Nebraska, a career high.
LOOKING AHEAD
Kansas will need to keep winning if it hopes to keep up with Texas for the conference title. The Jayhawks will face the Longhorns two weeks from Saturday in a game that could decide the conference. A victory against Iowa State would likely bring Kansas into the Top 25 for the first time this season.
KEY TO VICTORY
- Stop Iowa State guards Curtis Stinson and Will Blalock.
Kansas did this well in the last match-up. Stinson and Blalock will likely make adjustments from the last game and Chalmers and sophomore guard Russell Robinson will need to be ready for them defensively. Robinson is coming off a game in which he had four steals against Nebraska.
Kansas vs. Iowa State, Channels 13 and 15 3 p.m., Saturday, Allen Fieldhouse
Kansas Offense
Kansas got nearly all of its production from its starting guards in the last game against Iowa State on Jan. 28. Freshmen Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush, and sophomore Russell Robinson combined for 59 points during the 10-point victory. Kansas will need to continue its strong play from its guards against Iowa State on Saturday. Rush will also need to return to form. The Kansas City, Mo., native scored only six points against Nebraska Wednesday night. He is averaging 16.7 points per game and just under seven rebounds per game in Big 12 Conference play.
Rating: 3.5
KU KU KU KU
Defense
The Kansas guards held Iowa State star guards Curtis Stinson and Will Blalock to just 13-of-36 shooting in the last meeting. Stinson and Blalock did not have many open looks. Without this duo, the Cyclones have limited options for offensive production. Expect the Jayhawks to pressure the ball early in an attempt to force turnovers. Chalmers has a team-high 30 steals in nine conference games, for an average of 3.3 per game. Kansas continues to hold its opponents to under 40 percent shooting from the field.
Rating:3.5

Iowa State
Offense
DANIELLE GARDNER
In the last Iowa State-Kansas game, Iowa State's start guards struggled and the team shot just 37 percent from the field. Junior guard Curtis Stinson is coming off a week where he was announced Big 12 Player of the Week after registering a triple-double against Colorado at home last Saturday, Against Kansas, Stinson shot 8-of-21 from the field and had 24 points. The Cyclones other starting guard, junior Will Blalock, also struggled going 5-of-14 and scored 12 points. Sophomore forward Rahshon Clark has been producing offensively and had 20 points and six rebounds two weeks ago against Kansas. Iowa State is second in the conference scoring an average of 77.6 points per game.
Ranking: 3

Iowa State
In its last game against Kansas, Iowa State struggled all game to contain Kansas freshmen Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush. Chalmers, who was guarded most of the game by Blalock, scored 21 points on 6-of-9 shooting. Rush, who was guarded by Clark, had 20 points and 10 rebounds. Stinson and Blalock are second and third, respectively, in the conference in steals. Stinson has 56 steals and Blalock has 48. Against Kansas, Stinson and Blalock had four steals and so did big man Jiril Hubalek. Overall, Iowa State is last in the conference, allowing 75.9 points per game. Opponents are shooting 49 percent against the Cyclones — second to last in the league.

Coaching
After leading his team to the NCAA tournament last season, Wayne Morgan is trying to find a way to get the Cyclones back to the tournament this season. Morgan and the Cyclones lost a big game Wednesday night against Kansas State, which could set back their hopes for a NCAA bid. The loss dropped the team to
4-5 in the State majorlike it and
inference. Look for lowe to press Kansas the ity of the game, did the first time, try and create turnovers. Ranking: 2.5
Coaching
Bill Self was able to find a way to stop Stinson and Blalock, two of the best offensive players in the conference, the last time his team faced Iowa State.The scheme last game was applying defensive pressure on the duo with KU guards. Self will also need to get his offense going after two straight subpar performances. Kansas shot 41.9 percent from the field against Nebraska Wednesday night and shot 42.4 percent against Oklahoma last week. Self and the Jayhawks will enter the game with six straight conference victories. Kansas has also won 13 of its last 15 games. Rating: 3

ISU Tip-off
AT A GLANCE
iowa State comes into Law- rence as one of the more inconsistent teams in the Big 12 Conference. Starting with the loss to Texas Tech, Iowa State has alternated wins and losses for seven straight games. The team is tied with both Kansas State and Texas Tech, two teams it has already lost to, for seventh in the conference.
LAST TIME OUT
Junior guard Curtis Simson scored 22 points, and freshman center Shawn Taggart grabbed 11 rebounds, but it wasn't enough, as Iowa State lost to Kansas State on the road, 66-63. Junior guard Will Blalock was hardly a factor in the game, shooting 4-12 from the field and turning the ball over four times. Junior forward Jessan Gray was the only other player for Iowa State in double figures, with 11 points.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Stinson. It was just a year ago when Stinson and the Cyclones came into Allen Fieldhouse and left with an overtime victory. Stinson was brilliant in that game and Kansas guards Aaron Miles and Keith Langford had great difficulties containing the athletic guard. Against Kansas this season, although he scored 24 points, Stinson's impact was limited by Russell Robinson's solid defense.
5 QUICK FACTS
10-7 Iowa State's record on the road in the past two seasons after having a 28-game road losing streak in conference play.
5 Number of players in Big 12 history to register a triple double as Stinson did against Colorado last week.
72.7 — Iowa State's conference-leading free-throw percentage.
223 — Iowa State's conference-leading number of steals.
13. 8 The Cyclones turnovers per game, compared to their opponents' 19.7 per game.
LOOKING AHFAD
- After Kansas, Iowa State will travel back home to take on a struggling Nebraska team. A victory against Kansas would give Iowa State a ton of momentum heading into that game and would bring its conference record to .500. A loss against Kansas could start a free fall for the Cyclones, as it would mark an 0-2 week against Kansas teams.
KEY TO VICTORY
Solid guard play. Stinson and Blalock are going to have outplay Kansas guards Mario Chalmers and Russell Robinson. If Stinson and Blalock can frustrate the Kansas guards and can hit their outside shots, Iowa State could just steal another victory in the Fieldhouse.

Public Safety Office responds to death
The University of Kansas Public Safety Office responded to a medical emergency at Templin Hall late Sunday evening.
A male student suffered a fatal seizure, a Department of Student Housing employee said Sunday night. Lawrence Memorial Hospital and the Public Safety Office have both declined to comment until 8 a.m. this morning. The Kansan is withholding the student's name pending confirmation from the hospital or the University.
Employees at the front desk of Templin referred all inquiries to University Relations, though no one was available at the late hour to answer questions.

Photojournalist receives award
BY MEILINA RICKETTS

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Just Mr. Gordon Parks from Fort Scott, Kansas, that's how he wanted to be introduced. Throughout his accomplished life, he proved to be much more.
The footage of the presentation an interview Parks did with Byron Pitts, an award-winning CBS correspondent, was shown at Friday's ceremony.
Parks said once that he found two weapons to fight off the oppression of his youth - the camera and the pen. Throughout his lifetime he
has utilized both extensively, working as poet, author, director and photojournalist. In the interview Parks spoke about civil rights and his career and gave advice to students who were just starting out.
"Don't give up. That's what I always felt about myself, no matter how difficult, do not give up," said Parks.
He said a lot of his drive came from his mother's attitude toward race and duty.
"If a white boy can do it, you can do it, and you better do it better or don't come home," he recalled her saying.
Parks broke boundaries by becoming the first African-American photographer to shoot for Life and Vogue magazines and the first African-American to speak at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
The ceremony also included remarks from Rich Clarkson, a photojournalist and KU alumnus. Clarkson talked about Parks' photographs and shared personal anecdotes about Parks, including his flirtatious personality.
"He could always, and still does, find the most beautiful woman in any room," Clarkson said.
Brill agreed with that statement, saying Parks was still "a little bit of a flirt" at 93. Brill called him a "nightowl," who stayed up late into the night to talk with her after the presentation and interview. At the end of the tape Parks said that he wanted to be buried in Fort Scott.
"It's just a blessing that things have happened for him the way they have. He's been around the world and for him to end up back in Kansas is all our family could want for him," said Charles Parks, Parks' great-nephew.
Some of Parks' photographs are on display through March at the KU Spencer Museum of Art, Video footage of the ceremony will be available on the School of Journalism's Web site this week.

Rich Clarkson, photojournalist and KU alumnus, talks with Ann Brill, dean of journalism, after the 2006 William Allen White Foundation National Citation Presentation in Woodruff Auditorium Friday. Clarkson reminisced on his favorite Gordon Parks stories during his speech. Parks received the award Dec. 6, 2005, in his home in New York City.

Triumph against ISU sets stage for "Big Monday"

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIETER
Kansas, looking like a team peaking at just the right time, won its seventh straight game on Saturday with a 13-point victory over Iowa State. 88-75
The Jayhawks won unselfishly with crisp passing early, despite committing 17 turnovers. The passing began with lobs from Kansas guards, which resulted in thunderous dunks, especially from freshman forward Julian Wright. The Chicago Heights, Ill., product was on the receiving end of an alley-oop pass that ended with a reverse dunk and landed him on ESPN's "SportsCenter" Top 10.
The victory put Kansas in second place in the Big 12 Conference at 8-2 with only three road games remaining. Kansas will play on the road tonight at 8 in Stillwater, Okla., against Oklahoma State.
Kansas coach Bill Self will return to his alma mater, where he played under current coach Eddie Sutton. It is doubtful that Sutton will coach
If Kansas can win tonight, it will likely set up a battle for first place in the conference in two weeks against Texas. The Longhorns lead the Jayhawks by one game in the conference race. This would certainly be Self's most impressive coaching performance if he is able to win the conference title with this young team.
tonight after sustaining injuries in a car accident last week.
"They have great athletes," Self said of the Cowboys. "That crowd will be great. It might be as good a crowd that we will see all year."
Self's Jayhawks were crushed, 80-60, in his first return to Gallagher-Iba Arena two years ago.
Kansas has come a long way since narrow early-season losses and back-to-back conference losses against Kansas State and Missouri. The Jayhawks are now positioning themselves for a solid NCAA Tournament seed. If Kansas can take out Texas and win the conference, it could be as high as a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament and have a chance to play close to home in Dallas.

New facilities to help Title IX compliance

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Two for the price of one: That is the deal the Athletics Department plans to receive with the building of the new football facility.
Not only will this accomplish the department's fiveyear strategic plan goal of the new facility but will also help meet the goal of increased Title IX compliances.
The building of the football facility will open up offices in Wagon Student Athlete Center for use by Women's Athletics and Olympic sports.
Athletics Director Lew Per
kins first announced the plans for the soon-to-be old football offices located in Wagnon on Feb. 5, during a football press conference.
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony elaborated on Perkins' announcement.
Marchiony said there are over a dozen offices that would be made available for Women's Athletics and Olympics sports.
"Title IX includes everything from scholarships to office space," Marchiony said. "The more opportunities we give to Women's Athletics, the more we are in compliance with Title IX."

Panelist predicts a woman president

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
More women holding political office now means a woman president in the future, said Eleanor Clift, contributing editor to Newsweek magazine and panelist on the McLaughlin Group at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics presidential lecture series Sunday.
"I'm confident that I'll see a woman president in my lifetime, and I'm not going to make it to the next century," she said.
Clift said that when asked to run for political office, women would usually respond with
She said men's response to this was, "What took you so long?"
"You're crazy. I can't run for office."
Clift said that, herself included, women didn't set their goals high enough. When she started with no college education as a typist at Newsweek, she thought that was as far as she would go. Then other women at Newsweek felt that they weren't being given fair opportunities and filed a class action lawsuit. She was motivated by this and got an internship followed by a job as a reporter for Newsweek.

Cancellor Frank Strong organized a banquet and ceremony for state legislators to celebrate the birth of President Abraham Lincoln. The event capped a major lobbying campaign for increased state funding for the University of Kansas.
The Topeka Capital-Commonwealth reported the charges of Kansas Representative Daniel W. Poe of Butler County, who said the University was trying to "run the legislature and the state."

A KU committee began finding part-time jobs paying $10 to $20 per month for 350 Depression-era students. The project, known as the College Students Employment Project (CSEP) was one of the many federal relief projects indorsed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to help the nation realize that there was "nothing to fear but fear itself."

Before he earned his degree in astronomy at the University of Kansas, Clyde Tombaugh, a 24-year-old high school graduate from Burdett, discovered the planet Pluto from the Lowell Observatory in Arizona.

Members of the band Roanoke, from left, Derek White, Andrew Addington, Olathe freshman, Caleb Goellner, Olathe junior, Paul Herman and Alex Ellis practice tracks from their upcoming album. Roanoke received a record deal from Iron Clad Records in December 2005. The album will be released in May.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The lost colony of Roanoke disappeared without a trace and to this day remains a mystery. The rock band with the same name, however, hopes to never fall prey to the same destiny.
Tucked away in a modest two-bedroom apartment, sitting on a couch, the band inhales the music seeping from an entertainment center and its five members contemplate if 2006 might be the year the band breaks through.
The band consists of guitarists Alex Ellis and Paul Herman, bass player Derek White and two University of Kansas students: drummer Andrew Addington, Olathe freshman, and lead vocalist Caleb Goellner, Olathe junior.
The band formed in August 2004 and band members instantly knew there was something special taking place when they performed together.
"After writing just three songs, I felt a click within the group," Ellis said. "We all had the potential, the hard work, and the drive to do something with music."
The band has come a long way from its days practicing in Olathe. After sending numerous demos to record labels and seriously talking with a handful of them, it was a label that first contacted Roanoke — instead of the other way around — where Roanoke now calls home.
They signed a deal with the independent label, Iron Clad Records, in December. The
The group describes its music as a combination of aggressive hardcore guitar riffs mixed with a dash of pop-orientated catchy hooks.
In spite of being signed to a label, the band has not performed many shows in the Lawrence area.
Addington said, "We would
"We always felt like we fit in the hard rock genre that exists in Lawrence, but we never get too much attention from shows out here." Goellner said.
After its recent success, the group pledges to remain loyal to its fans.
love to do shows in the Lawrence area, but K.C. always asks us to come and perform."
"We're going to continue to work our asses off, continue to build our fan base," Ellis said. "We haven't taken up. We're still setting stuff up and a lot of what has happened is because of the support of our fans out there."
The never-ending job of balancing school, work and music takes a toll on all the members
of the band. Although the band just signed to a record label, group members do not intend to quit school or work just yet.
"My first semester grades showed how difficult it can be to do both," Addington said. "It's like serving two masters, but you learn how to cope with it."
Goellner said, "I would have to think really hard about leaving school. My goal is to graduate and never officially have to use my degree."

'Jaws' author and shark advocate dies
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
By HILLEL ITALIE
NEW YORK — Peter Benchley, whose novel "jaws" terrorized millions of swimmers even as the author himself became an advocate for the conservation of sharks, has died at age 65, his widow said Sunday.
Wendy Benchley, married to the author for 41 years, said he died Saturday night at their home in Princeton, N.J. The cause of death, she said, was idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a progressive and a fatal scarring of the lungs.
Thanks to Benchley's 1974 novel, and Steven Spielberg's
blockbuster movie of the same name, the simple act of ocean swimming became synonymous with fatal horror, of still water followed by ominous, pumping music, then teeth and blood and panic.
"Spielberg certainly made the most superb movie; Peter was very pleased," Wendy Benchley told The Associated Press.
"But Peter kept telling people the book was fiction, it was a novel, and that he no more took responsibility for the fear of sharks than Mario Puzo took responsibility for the Mafia."
Benchley, the grandson of humorist Robert Benchley and son of author Nathaniel Bench-
ley, was born in New York City in 1940. He attended the elite Philips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, then graduated from Harvard University in 1961. He worked at The Washington Post and Newsweek and spent two years as a speech writer for President Johnson, writing some "difficult" speeches about the Vietnam War.
The author's interest in sharks was lifelong, beginning with childhood visits to Nantucket Island in Massachusetts and heightening in the mid-1960s when he read about a fisherman catching a 4,550-pound great white shark off Long Island, the setting for his novel.
While Peter Benchley cowrote the screenplay for "Jaws," and authored several other novels, including "The Deep" and "The Island," Wendy Benchley said he was especially proud of his conservation work. He served on the national council of Environmental Defense, hosted numerous television wildlife programs, gave speeches around the world and wrote articles for National Geographic and other publications.
Besides his wife, Peter Benchley is survived by three children and five grandchildren. A small family service will take place next week in Princeton, Wendy Benchley said.

The Student Senate Kansan Advertising Sub-Committee voted on Friday to not include KU sports clubs into its advertising program.
Student Senate denies club sports ad space
The committee had concerns that if the clubs were allowed to use its advertising space in The University Daily Kansan, the groups would be "double-dipping" because they already receive money from Recreation Services for the same purpose.
Nolan T. Jones, Pittsburg junior and communications director for Student Senate, said the decision was made after a review of the Senate rules and regulations and was determined that because it was a duplication of services, it could not be allowed.
He said this would not be the end of discussions on this topic but as the rules/stand now, the committee could not give the clubs the advertising space.

At the start of the semester, eight student senator seats needed to be filled. A committee was formed to review applications and conduct interviews to decide who would fill the positions.
New senators selected to fill spring openings
Supporters of Haitian presidential favorite Rene Preval demonstrate in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Sunday. Pierre Richard Duchemin, a member of Haiti's electoral council, said results of the presidential elections were being manipulated as throngs of supporters of Preval poured into the streets chanting angrily allegations of fraud.
The following students were chosen by the committee: Jason Blick, graduate student senator, Daniel Parker, off-campus student, Tom Cox, CLAS freshman/sophomore senator, Tayler Eldridge and Ashley Bloom, junior/senior CLAS senators, Chris Jones, business senator, and Erin Chaput and Nina Mosallaei, social welfare senators.
They are expected to be approved by the full Student Senate in a meeting Wednesday.
Haitians protest voting fraud

YOU'VE GOT IT!
BY ANDREW SELSKY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — A member of Haiti's electoral council said results of the presidential elections were being manipulated, echoing complaints by throngs of supporters of Rene Preval, who poured into the streets on Sunday with angry allegations of fraud.
With 75 percent of votes counted, Preval was falling short of winning Tuesday's elections outright by less than a percentage point.
"According to me, there's a certain level of manipulation," Pierre Richard Duchemin, an electoral council member, told The Associated Press, adding that "there is an effort to stop people from asking questions" about the counting process.
Duchemin said Sunday he needed access to tallies of vote counts in hopes of learning who was behind the alleged manipulation. He called for an investigation.
Preval's supporters poured out of different neighborhoods of the capital and converged on the electoral council headquarters. Blowing horns and pounding drums, they denounced Jacques Bernard, director-general of the nine-member electoral council.
"Jacques Bernard is a thief. He doesn't know how to count!" they chanted. U.N. peacekeepers blocked Preval supporters from reaching the Montana Hotel, where election officials have been giving updates on the results.
"When you get thousands of people on the streets, things can get unpredictable," said U.N. spokesman David Wimburst.
Bernard denied accusations the council voided many votes for Preval, a former president.
Suspicion has risen among many Haitians that the results were being manipulated in the five days since voters turned out in droves to elect a new government. It will replace an interim government installed after then-President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was ousted in a bloody rebellion two years ago.
"The electoral council is trying to do what it can to diminish the percentage of Preval so it goes to a second round." Faroul. Faroul said he wanted Preval to win but added that he would be protesting if any candidate was being denied votes by manipulation.
Jean-Henoc Faroul, the president of an electoral district with 400,000 voters northeast of the capital, accused the electoral commission of trying to force a runoff, saying tally sheets from Preval strongholds have vanished.
Preval demonstrators threatened violence if Preval is not declared the first-round winner. As demonstrators marched on
the Montana Hotel, the electoral council abruptly canceled a Sunday evening news conference.
Duchemin accused Bernard of "megalomania," saying he had blocked other council members from getting information on the tabulation process.
"If they take the election from Preval, it's not going to go smoothly," said Robert Antoine, a 23-year-old from the Bel-Air slum. "The people voted massively for Preval, and it seems the electoral commission is playing games with the results."
Preval was leading 33 candidates with 49.1 percent of the vote, short of the 50 percent plus one vote he needs to avoid a March 19 runoff with the runner-up. Leslie Manigat, also a former president, was second with 11.7 percent of the vote.
services at Trinity Cathedral in Port-au-Prince, urged Haitians to be patient.
"They've started well, let them finish the race well," Tutu, the retired Anglican archbishop of Cape Town, South Africa, told the AP. "And I think they will, that they will be peaceful and that they will accept the results of the elections."
South African Nobel laureate Desmond Tutu, presiding over
An estimated 2.2 million people cast ballots, or 63 percent of registered voters.
About 125,000 ballots _ or 7.5 percent of the votes cast _ have been declared invalid because of irregularities, raising suspicion among Preval supporters that polling officials are trying to steal the election. Another 4 percent of the ballots were blank but were still added into the total, making it harder Preval to obtain the 50 percent plus one vote needed.

A female student on Sunday afternoon was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital after an attempted suicide.
When officers from the KU Public Safety Office arrived at GSP Hall, where the student lives, she was with two friends and receiving medical treatment from paramedics.
T. J. Mailen, patrol sergeant for the KU Public Safety Office, said police had found the student's room unlocked with a suicide note on her bed.
He said no names would be released until the Public Safety Office had a chance to speak with the student and give her the help and counseling she may have needed.

Cheney shoots hunting partner
WASHINGTON — Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a companion during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, spraying the fellow hunter in the face and chest with shotgun pellets.
Harry Whittington, a millionaire attorney from Austin, was "alert and doing fine" in a Corpus Christi hospital Sunda
after he was shot by Cheney on a ranch in south Texas, said Katharine Armstrong, the property's owner.
Armstrong said Whittington, 78, was mostly injured on his right side during the incident which occurred late afternoon on Saturday.
The shooting was first reported by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times. The vice president's office did not disclose the accident until nearly 24 hours after it happened.

NEW YORK — A record-breaking storm buried sections of the Northeast under more than 2 feet of snow on Sunday, marooning thousands of air travelers and making even a walk to the corner store treacherous.
The National Weather Service said 26.9 inches of snow had fallen in Central Park, the most since record-keeping started in 1869. The old record was 26.4 inches in December 1947.
Wind gusting as high as 60 mph blew the snow sideways and raised a risk of coastal flooding in New England. And in a rare display, lightning lit up the falling snow before dawn in the New York and Philadelphia areas, producing muffled winter thunder.
"We might not see anything like this again in our lifetime," Jason Rosenfarb said as he walked with his 5-year-old daughter Haley in Central Park. Just then Haley jumped head first into the snow and said: "Help me out. There's too much snow."
Elsewhere, 21 inches of snow fell at Columbia, Md., between Baltimore and Washington, and at East Brunswick, N.J., Hartford, Conn., and West Caln Township west of Philadelphia, the national Weather Service said. Philadelphia's average for an entire winter is about 21 inches.
The storm came on the heels of an unusually mild January that had people shedding jackets and ski resorts lamenting lost business.
"It's going to be a menace trying to clean it up," said Mayor Scott T. Rumana in Wayne, N.J. New York officials said snow removal costs the city about $1
"It's sort of crazy because it was so warm a couple of weeks ago and now we have knee-deep snow," said Skye Drynan, walking her dogs Bella and Forest in lower Manhattan.
A dog named Ken peeks up above the snow at River Meadow Farm in Windsor, Conn., Sunday. A major storm slammed the mid-Atlantic and Northeast states on Sunday with nearly 2 feet of windblown snow, nearing record levels as it blackout out thousands of customers and shut down air travel from Washington to Boston. million per inch ington Philadelphia Boston
However, the storm's arrival during the weekend meant more people were staying at home instead of truing to drive to work.
Churches canceled services and the Philadelphia Phantoms, a minor league hockey team, postponed Sunday's game because the team couldn't get home from Chicago.
The possibility of coastal flooding was a major concern for Massachusetts as wind hit 60 mph, said Peter Judge, spokesman for the state's Emergency Management Agency. Meteorologists predicted 2 1/2-foot storm surges from Cape Ann to Cape Cod with seas off the coast running up to 25 feet.
Delta Air Lines canceled arrivals and departures at Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, Providence, R.I., and Hartford, Conn.
The storm closed all three of the New York metropolitan area's major airports, and airlines canceled more than 500 inbound and departing flights 200 each at LaGuardia and Newark airports and 120 at Kennedy.
The airport closures and grounded planes stranded travelers elsewhere across the country.
"We've been playing cards for two hours. We expect to play a lot more cards," Cliff Jefferson said about nine hours into his stay at the Miami airport.
About 7,500 people were stuck just at Florida's Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, spokesman Steve Belleme said.
More than 85,000 homes and businesses were blacked out in Maryland, according to
Service in and out of New York's Pennsylvania Station on the Long Island Rail Road was canceled, and Metro North rail service to the northern suburbs was curtailed. New Jersey Transit suspended all bus service statewide. Amtrak reported a few cancelations and delays in the Northeast Corridor but said most trains remained in service.
Baltimore Gas & Electric Co. spokeswoman Linda Foy. More than 60,000 customers were reported in the dark in northern Virginia, and thousands more lost power in parts of Delaware, New Jersey and on New York's Long Island. Temperatures were mostly in the 20s.
Still, many people took the storm in stride, in spite of drifts that made sidewalks tortuous if not impassable.
Lynda Carpentero didn't let the snow keep her away from yoga class at a neighborhood gym in Brooklyn.
"We were afraid we would fall on our heads before we stood on them." Carpenter said.
Intrepid customers even insisted on going out for everyday essentials.
"I love it. It's like Christmas," said John Eaton, who went to Chubby's Deli in suburban Eastchester for his Sunday newspapers and coffee, before returning home to hunker down for the day.

OUR OPINION
Landlords should leave University out
Local landlord Serina Hearn said in a Lawrence Journal-World article that the University should intervene when students get rowdy outside of class and off campus. When it comes to frequent noise violations for parties and other inappropriate behavior, she said the University should step in and even levy punishment. That would be, to say the least, a bad idea.
It's all about checks and balances.
The KU Public Safety Office already has jurisdiction over parts of the city near campus. If a PSO officer witnesses a crime off campus, he or she has the authority to investigate and make an arrest. This includes noise ordinance violations and other crimes.
The Office of Student Financial Aid already monitors a student's commitment to academics. If a student starts to fall behind or withdraws from too many classes, be that from partying too hard or otherwise, he or she can lose money needed to pay tuition. By federal statute, students can lose financial aid if convicted of a felony, which includes drug possession, and a criminal record can affect the awarding of future scholarships. Academic probation is also a tool the University uses when dealing with bad students.
But to what end would it benefit the University to further intervene and act as a parent or baby sitter when students are off campus? Nearly all students are legal adults and responsible for their own actions. Corporations
Issue: Landlords want University discipline.
don't keep tabs on the private lives of their employees and there is no reason the University should do the same with those who study daily on its campus.
Stance: Student tenants don't need sitters.
Landlords have complete control over whom they lease to. If they don't think a prospective tenant will be respectful to the property or if they believe leseses will cause problems, they have every right to deny approval. They have numerous methods by which to screen applicants: Credit checks, references from former landlords, verification of employment or a working bank account.
It is not the University's job to do a landlord's dirty work
If the landlords want the University to police their tenants, then the University should police the landlords in exchange. It's not uncommon to hear students complain about long-needed repairs to their apartments, ignored phone calls to a landlord's office and suspiciously un-refunded security deposits.
If the landlords want a check on student behavior, students need one on landlord negligence and exploitation.

OK, so I went to try to go get some hot water so I could make my omeal that I brought on campus with me, and I find out that hot water has gone from 10 cents to 27 cents, so now not only am I still hungry and still poor, but I'm pissed off.

Congratulations it's your 22nd Birthday. You and your two roommates throw a small party to celebrate your approach to the next milestone of car rental age. A few friends who smoke come over to join in the festivities, so they sit on the porch much like people at the other three or four parties on the block. A cranky neighbor one block away complains about some other house and everyone on the street with music and joy is suddenly being written up without warning. You and your roommates are each given a separate ticket. Not only are you fined for disturbing the peace but you're going to be evicted and stopped from graduation. Oh yeah, Happy Birthday!

Undefined noise limits should worry students
Sounds ridiculous? The above scenario actually happened until the eviction part. This new punishment became law last Tuesday, KU preventing graduation could become a reality unless we decide that it's time to fight back for a sensible and equitable law.
The city council's actions in recent months are treating students like second-class citizens. Last year the noise ordinance was modified by the Lawrence City Commission allowing officers to cite people without any complaint and based solely on their own opinion. In other words, any anonymous person, whether they're a neighbor or an officer having a bad night, can lead to you being ticketed

without warning on standards that don't exist.
Last Tuesday the problem became even worse. On your second charge the city now has permission to fine you $1,100 and turn off your utilities. Apparently being innocent before proven guilty no longer applies to students. The mere presence of an unsubstantiated charge can lead you to no longer having electricity, gas or water.
It gets worse. Members of our community, including my landlord Serena Hearns in a recent interview with The Lawrence Journal-World, want the University to start acting as a parent and to discipline students for off-campus behavior such as stopping them from graduating. I wish I were making this up but they actually think adults who pay thousands of dollars to live in a house that has a hole in the door should now be babysat by school officials.

Benefits lie in stats, not price
The lack of standards gives crackpots an institutional tool for harassment. They can drive around and anonymously report any house with people outside. Officers not knowing which house on a block is the particular problem instead punish the entire block with no warning for an opportunity to quiet things down, ergo the citation on your birthday.
It is apparent in the Jan. 20 story on textbook prices, "Student Senate Urges Publishers to Unbundle Textbooks," that the University of Kansas Student Senate intends to take a serious examination of the issue.
How loud is too loud and why don't we have standards? David Corliss, assistant city manager for legal services in a Journal-World article last June said, "Some communities use them because it's a less arbitrary system. We haven't gotten to that point vet."
We reached that point long ago. The number of citations is escalating and the city is not going to risk a lucrative policy, politically or financially, unless we fight for a better law.
An officer doesn't estimate you were speeding. He uses a radar gun and measures to see if you exceeded a predetermined limit. Cities such as Austin, Texas have a reasonable 80 decibel limit. Instead of vague regulations from nameless individuals let us create a fair and sensible system that treats us all justly.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
- LaMort is a Cherryvale senior in psychology and political science.
One senator noted that the investment in supplemental material has contributed to the rise in textbook prices. The reasons cited were off-base, however. There was no discussion about precisely what these materials represent. Students now enter college with varying levels of preparedness and skill sets; diverse learning styles and
changes in technology demand a response from instructors. In response, publishers have refined textbooks and developed new tools to help teachers meet these pressures.
The dean of social sciences at the University of Washington, said last fall in the Seattle Post-Intelligence, "Web-based tutorials and quizzes combined with classroom instruction make a very nice improvement over anything we have done before." In one semester last year, 700,000 students used an online homework system through Pearson Higher Education to help
them master the material covered in their math courses. More than 10 million assignments were completed and more than 250 million problems were worked. These kinds of success are often not included in the discussion of benefits of bundled material.
Regardless, we offer all of our textbooks and learning material in a variety of formats and combinations. When a student invests in this material, we want them to use it to succeed.

Embrace others to relieve tension
TALK TO US
Do you need a hug? Embracing another person can be a show of pride, sympathy, encouragement or romance. This seemingly simple act has more benefits than you may realize.
Psychologically, hugging satisfies part of the social desires of human nature. William Fry, clinical professor of psychiatry at Stanford University, said in an article in The Saturday Evening Post, "Hugging, cuddling and touching expresses attraction, comradeship, affection. Hugging is especially helpful to those who are depressed."
According to USA Today, the American Psychosomatic Society reported that a brief hug at the beginning of a day reduces the stress that tends to build throughout the rest of the day.
"The need to touch, kiss and caress one another is as vital as your need for food, clothing and shelter," said James Hardison, human behaviorist and author of "Let's Touch: How and Why to Do It."
Embracing has physical benefits as well. According to an article in "Critical Care Nurse", two scientists in the department of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill compared heart health among 100 couples, half of whom embraced four or more times a day and half of whom did not embrace at all. Those who hugged had both a lower resting heart rate and a lower blood pressure.
Even weight loss can be affected by hugging. Dr. Leo Wollman, a New York City psychiatrist and weight-loss expert, told The Saturday Evening Post that women may gain weight when their significant other does not show enough affection. His studies also concluded that hugging and cuddling resulted in weight loss in overweight women.
Aside from the hard facts and studies, hugging costs nothing, is fat free, and nobody minds if it's returned. A simple embrace is a physical sign that you care about someone.
COMMENTARY
These benefits can only be received if one hugs properly. Half hugs and little pats on the back just don't count. Full frontal, chest to chest, both arms wrapped around each other and lightly squeezing the other person is the best way to hug. Actually drawing the person into you and feeling an energy transfer is the only way to do it. A wimpy hug is just as bad as a wimpy handshake.
If you aren't touchy feely, learn to be. Hugging is advantageous on many levels. Hug your neighbor, hug your friends, hug your teacher or your RA, your parents, your significant other or your dog. If you see me on campus, just ask and I'll give you a hug.

"Anytime you have an opportunity to house all your sports in the same area, it helps," Mehrtens said. "It helps with camaraderie."
Mehrtens said the teams would interact more by being in the same building, which would help spur enthusiasm and support from one team to another. More enthusiasm and support among
teams could help with overall team success.
Mehrtens said nothing is set in stone in regards to which sport will get which office.

Millionaire makes history with flight
BY DEREK KRAVITZ
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANSTON, England — Adventurer Steve Fosseff completed the longest nonstop flight in aviation history with an emergency landing Saturday, flying 26,389 miles in about 76 hours but stopping early because of mechanical problems.
Ground control said Fossett, 61, broke the airplane distance record of 24,987 miles while his lightweight experimental plane was flying over Shannon, Ireland.
Generator problems then forced him to land the Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer at Bournemouth International Airport in southern England instead of at a military air strip in nearby Kent.
"I was really lucky to make it here today, there was a lot going on," Fossett told reporters after he landed. "The tension of the final part really took it out of me, but I will be fine in the morning."
The millionaire adventurer completed his nonstop journey around the globe — and then some — over three and a half
days despite losing about 750 pounds of fuel during his takeoff Wednesday from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida because of a leak.
The plane's ventilation system also malfunctioned midway through the trip, causing temperatures in the cockpit to rise to as much as 130 degrees.
His voyage broke the airplane distance record of 24,987 miles set in 1986, and the balloon record of 25.361 miles in 1999.
After the news conference, Fossett was presented with the Guinness World Record for the longest flight in history.
Fossett holds the record for flying solo around the globe in a balloon and for being the first person to circle the globe solo in a plane without stopping or refueling. That flight last year lasted 67 hours and was hampered by a fuel leak.
While in the air, Fossett took power naps no longer than 10 minutes each and drank a steady diet of milkshakes.
Japanese officials look at beef plants
STATE
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan.
— Japanese inspectors got a close-up look Friday at the beef operations in Kansas amid Tokyo's ban on American meat.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan.
A delegation from Japan's ruling party, the Liberal Democratic Party, visited three facilities: the Creekstone Farms Premium Beef processing plant in Arkansas City, a cow-calf operation near Tonganoxie and Tyson Foods' processing facility in Emporia.
The inspectors met with representatives of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, officials from Creekstone Farms, Tyson Foods and the American Meat Institute.
"We are thoughtful and understand the concern of Japan, particularly the consumers, and want to say that U.S. beef is safe," said John Stewart, Creekstone's chief executive officer.
The arrival of the Japanese officials at the plant was filmed by TV crews from the four major networks in Japan.

Eleanor Clift, author of "Founding Sisters," speaks about the importance of women's role in politics Sunday night at Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. Clift is also the contributing editor of Newsweek.
Panelist
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
She is now a contributing editor at Newsweek and a successful political analyst, appearing regularly on the McLaughlin Group, a weekly national politics talk show on Fox News Network. She also wrote "Madam President: Shattering the Last Glass Ceiling" a book on the first woman president.
Clift said being the only woman on the McLaughlin Group, she was treated politely at first by all of the men, who interrupted each other all the time and created a "food fight" atmosphere. She said she then got used to interrupting and now she holds her own during the debates.
"I think of myself as one of those inflatable dolls, you know. You punch me down and I come right back up," she said about the debates.
She said Margaret Thatcher, former prime minister of Great Britain, also proved that women can be tough enough to lead a country. Thatcher did all of the things atypical of women in office. She acted like a man, Clift said: she cut social programs and showed no compassion.
Clift saw the same toughness in U.S. S. Hillary Rodham Clinton
(D-New York), her top pick for possible first woman president. She said Clinton had a Rolodex big enough to raise the money needed to have a successful campaign. She "doesn't have to prove her toughness." Clift said.
Clift also emphasized the need for a strong base of women in politics. She said one woman running every once in a while won't get a woman president elected. There need to be more women governors, senators and other leaders in order to have enough possibilities for candidates. She even named Governor Kathleen Sebelius as "the kind of woman you can imagine having prospects," even though she wasn't sure of Sebelius' ultimate political goals.
Erica Hare, Topeka senior, said Clift's speech gave her hope for the future of women in politics. Clift gave a positive image to women at the speech, she said.
"We're coming up slowly but surely." Hare said.
Clift addressed the importance in women in politics not only as elected candidates, but also as voters. She also stressed the importance of personality in women candidates.
"It all has to do with self confidence," she said.

Sophomore guard Russell Robinson defends Iowa State guard Curtis Stinson during the second half of Saturday's game. An altercation between Robinson and Stinson in the second half resulted in a double technical.

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIETER
Curtis Stinson and Russell Robinson embraced after Saturday's game, while the teams shook hands in Allen Fieldhouse. Stinson told Robinson he would look for him when the two returned to their hometown of New York City for a pick-up game.
"I guess we will meet up again, probably when we play back home," Robinson said. "I guess he is looking forward to that."
It was a nice gesture, which followed an intense and physical game. Iowa State and Kansas were whistled for a combined 46 fouls. Most of the Iowa State players talked to Kansas players during the 88-75 Kansas victory.
Stinson and Robinson directed gibes toward each other throughout the game. A miniscuffle occurred with five minutes to play, which resulted in a double technical foul on sophomore center CJ Giles and Iowa State's Shawn Taggart.
Earlier in the possession, Iowa State guard Will Blalock pushed Robinson over the scorer's table — no call was made.
Robinson's teammates came to his defense later in the possession when an alteration resulted during an Iowa State huddle before Giles went to the line to shoot a free throw.
"As far as emotional-wise, it definitely was intense." Robinson said. "That's great. We didn't back down. It shows toughness on our part."

Stanford connected for more hits on Sunday than the first two games of the series combined.
"When you go on the road and play in that environment it was a very good weekend, but it could've been a great weekend," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "We just didn't get it done on the final day."
The final day posed another problem for Kansas. Senior centerfielder Matt Baty left the game with an undisclosed injury in the third inning.

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
There's just something about the second half that gets freshman guard Mario Chalmers going.
For the second straight game, Chalmers came through when his team needed him the most.
In a game in which players were talking a lot of trash to one another, Chalmers let his playing do the talking as he scored a career-high 23 points, grabbed a career-high
five rebounds, dished out four assists and only turned the ball over once.
Chalmers scored 16 of his 23 points in the second half. He hit his first big shot of the half with 10:16 to play in the game. Iowa State had cut Kansas' lead to four, the closest it had come since early in the first half. Chalmers then stepped up, took a pass from sophomore guard Russell Robinson and drained an open three-point shot to extend Kansas' lead back to seven.

Kansas struggles loses to Tigers
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
mphillips@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
COLUMBIA, Mo. — After watching Kansas senior guard Erica Hallman knock down shot after shot early in the game, Missouri coach Cindy Stein decided on a new strategy.
"We tried to defend her," Stein said with a laugh.
It was just what the Tigers needed, and helped propel them to a 64-57 Border Showdown victory against Kansas.
The Jayhawks led for the first 34 minutes of the game, before watching Missouri go on a 12-1 run that gave the Tigers the lead for good.
Kansas' record slipped to 14-8 overall, 3-8 in conference play. The team will likely have to win all five remaining games to be considered for the NCAA tournament, making the Women's National Invitational Tournament a more realistic possibility.
"We have to get more wins in order for us to have a postseason," senior forward Crystal Kemp said. "Especially in games like this one, where we thought we had it."
Kemp and Hallman both agreed that the Jayhawks were not as aggressive as they could have been offensive. In the second half, the Jayhawks struggled to
Missouri proved to be a stronger one-on-one team, and senior guard LaToya Bond led all players with 31 points, including 8-of-10 from the free-throw line in the final five minutes.
create shots, especially when the shot clock was winding down.
"It got down to seven seconds left, and everybody was just standing around watching somebody play one-on-one." Hallman said.
After Missouri claimed the lead, Kansas fought back once more and held the ball with 31.6 seconds remaining, down by three points.
Hallman drove inside and missed a shot. Sophomore forward Taylor McIntosh grabbed the rebound, looked around, and saw senior guard Kaylee Brown open for a three-point shot. Her pass to Brown was intercepted, and Missouri sealed the game at the free-throw line.
After the game, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said that outside of the offensive performance, she saw some encouraging signs.
"As strange as it sounds, I think we can build some momentum," she said. "I thought we played awfully tough in a place that's been tough for people in the league to play."

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWINTER
COLUMBIA, Mo.- Kansas got a visit from an uninvited old friend Saturday afternoon — a ticking shot clock.
"You would have thought our offense was called six, five, four, three, two, one," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "That's what it was called last season."
Kansas ended several offensive possessions with the coaching staff shouting out the time remaining as the shot clock wound down. After one of the better offensive halves of conference play, the Jayhawks settled for tough, guarded shots late in the shot clock.
The lack of aggressive offense by Kansas plagued the team, especially during Missouri's 10-to-zero run late in the second half. During the 'Tigers' run, which took just two minutes, the Jayhawks had five straight turnovers.
Kansas played aggressively early in the game, driving to the basket and getting fouled on several possessions in the first half. Senior guard Kaylee Brown and freshman
guard Ivana Catic both went to the free-throw line late in the first half, after driving to the basket and being fouled. The Jayhawks got numerous open three-point shots in the first half and shot 57.1 percent from behind the arc.
That aggressive play seemed to disappear in the second half.
The once fast-paced offense moved at a snail-like pace. Kansas went scoreless several times for four or more minutes at a time. The team got caught watching the ball on several possessions as well.
Senior forward Crystal Kemp said the team wasn't as aggressive as it should have been.
"We just settled for things we didn't need to settle for," Kemp said.
The shots the Jayhawks settled for were forced and had little chance of going in. In the first half, Kansas guards were able to slash through the lane for lay-ups or drew fools. Kansas settled for long, guarded jump shots in the second half instead of driving to the basket.

Self's vision seems to pay off
Today, there is a fear resonating across the Big 12 Conference. It is a fear that first made its presence felt the day Kansas chose Bill Self to become head coach in 2003. Around the conference, other coaches likely cried at the thought of Kansas becoming a physical team that would have consistently talented players. Tough players and strong recruiting classes have been a hallmark of Self's coaching career.
It took some time for that vision to manifest itself, but the pay off has begun, and it seems that it will continue.
Sure, there will be a slip-up here and there because this is still a young team.
What fans should realize is that last week's comeback against

JCHAVEZ@KANSAN.COM
Oklahoma, the easy victory against Nebraska and a victory against Iowa State are a reality of this team.
The difference in the team's progress from earlier in the year is the emergence of a true concept of a team. After all, it's not a coincidence that this Kansas team seems to have the most alley-oop or attempts at an alley-oop. It's a metamorphosis of the style of offense that is starting to take shape. It's
not uncommon on any given possession to see a no-look pass for an open basket. Some people thought Self's style of play automatically meant a resemblance to a Big Ten style. Those people are now seeing a team that is as fun to watch, sometimes as much as some of Roy Williams' teams.
This has coaches across the conference nervous. They were anticipating an inexperienced Kansas team that would provide opponents' chances to win, something that few of them had enjoyed in the 10 years of the conference's existence. Instead, they've gotten a team that is surging as March draws near.
Despite the improved play, the Jayhawks are still a mystery to
many, a thought proven by the fact that they have still yet been unable to crack the Top 25, which now seems like college basketball's secret society. After today, that will likely change Following games against Kansas this season, some coaches have expressed surprise at how talented the young team really is, and how surprised other teams may be come tournament time. Oklahoma State knows a very young and talented team is coming south to visit. After tonight, it'll be the latest to recognize that this Kansas team can be a buzz saw that will make future opponents cringe.

Snyder steps down surprises players
By R.B. FALLSTROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri players are adamant; Quin Snyder did not bail out on them.
"I know he didn't quit," point guard jason Horton said Sunday. "I know he's not that type of person. I know that."
Snyder's resignation was made official Sunday morning and the Tigers played their first game without him later that day, beating Kansas State 74-71 to end a six-game losing streak.
He canceled a scheduled news conference early Sunday evening, instead issuing a statement through his lawyer that he

won't be talking until he and the university have a signed settlement agreement for the final two years of his contract.
In any case, players who spoke for the first time since Snyder became their ex-coach on Friday are certain leaving was not his idea, and that he was forced out.
"I don't know exactly what happened," sophomore forward Marshall Brown said. "All I can tell you is that's not in Coach Q's character."
Junior guard Thomas Gardner was cautious about getting into a discussion about whether Snyder, 39, was fired or resigned.
By all accounts, Snyder's decision to step down was a surprise to everyone. A day earlier, the coach had said he would finish the season.

Iowa State coach Wayne Morgan and KU coach Bill Self listen as the referees make a final decision on the double technical called on Kansas' CJ Giles and Iowa State's Shawn Taggart during the second half of the game.
Selfs young team plays like old pros
Unintentional funniest moment: The sloppy jump ball to start the game between sophomore center Sasha Kaun and Iowa State forward Shawn Taggart. This was such an awkward jump ball that the referees made them do it over again.
Best gear: Former Kansas basketball player Bud Stallworth, with the Bill Cosby throwback sweater. An honorable mention goes to Kansas coach Bill Self, sporting black sneakers in support of Coaches vs. Cancer National Awareness Weekend.
Best sign: The heart with "I'm looking for Mr. Wright."
Worst gear: The person with the peach-colored shorts in section four, row F. It was snowing outside. An honorable mention goes to anyone with a "Muck Fizzou" shirt on, particularly the two guys on the south side in the front row. Check the schedule next time: Kansas doesn't play Missouri until Saturday.
Swat party: Freshman forward Julian Wright had four blocks and the last one was a crowd-pleasing swat of Iowa State guard Curtis Stinson's attempted layup with 1:20 left.
Cheers to Self. He has a young team looking like it has been together for several years. Self also gets a cheers for using the famous Valparaiso play to end the first half. Freshman guard Brandon Rush threw the long ball, Kaun caught the pass and delivered it to freshman guard Mario Chalmers, who tried to play the role of former Valpo standout Bryce Drew. Chalmers was unsuccessful, despite perfect execution of the play.
Jeers to the Allen Fieldhouse crew who operates the scoreboard and big screens. Usually a stellar performance from these folks, but they weren't on top of their game Saturday. They had Wright, who is the starting power forward, listed as a guard in his bio. There also were several clock blunders, most notably during a scuffle involving sophomore center CJ Giles, sophomore guard Russel Robinson and four Iowa State players at the 5:00 mark in the second half, which caused a long delay.
Rock Chalk Chant started with 1:46 left in the game.

Fouls
Self said he had fel Robinson going into the scors' table caused the double technical.
"I will be real candid with you. I would be disappointed if our guys didn't stand up for a teammate," Self said.
Rush said that Stinson talked the most for the Cyclones and had advice for Rush late in the game.
"He said the physical game isn't shoot; just stick to finesse," Rush said. "I couldn't do anything but laugh."
Rush said Stinson pushed him often during the game and even tried to elbow him when attempting a shot. The most important thing was that Kansas won and Stinson's team did not, Rush said. Iowa State coach Wayne Morgan said he could not comment directly on the officials.
"I don't think I can address that without being fined. We foul, but sometimes we also get fouled every now and again," Morgan said. "Go back to the tape and see. It would be nice if I could go off the record, but obviously I can't."
"It's real good to win when someone is talking smack because it shuts them up." Rush said. "They can't say anything. All you have to do is say 'we just won the game, so why are you still calling?'" Rush said.

♦Freshman forward Julian Wright left the game midway through the first half with an apparent rib injury. Self said he didn't think the injury was serious.
Basketball Notes:
♦ Self said he hoped that Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton would be on the bench tonight after injuries that Sutton sustained in a car accident.
◆The Big 12 unveiled its 10th Anniversary Team, and three Jayhawks made the five-man team. Nick Collison, Kirk Hinrich and Raef LaFrentz were all named to the team, joining Iowa State's Marcus Fizer and Texas' T.J. Ford.

It was more than just his shots falling that made Chalmers a factor during Saturday's second half. Besides Chalmers' 16 second half points, he also had a steal that led to a Robinson layup that helped stretch the lead to nine points.
On the next offensive possession, Chalmers sank another three-point, and on the next possession, he assisted Brandon Rush on a layup that put Kansas' lead back to double digits for the last time. He is playing very confident basketball, right now." Robin-
Kansan Big 12 Power Rankings
"Mario is playing very confident basketball right now." Robinson said. "He's mixing it up and doing a little bit of everything."
While the second half was nearly perfect for Chalmers, the first half was close to the opposite. Chalmers was yanked early in the game by Kansas coach Bill Self.
"Here I am, I'm not happy with him at all and he gets 23 on 12 shots and has one turnover," Self said. "I thought he got off to a rough start. Mario is one of those guys that sometimes drive coaches nuts. Not in a bad way, but he drives them nuts because he is a smooth player. Sometimes smooth players don't look like they're quite going as hard as what you want them to go. I am learning more and more about him."
When Chalmers went back in, he continued his struggles, shooting only 2-7 from the field. It was enough to make Self think Chalmers didn't have that good of a game, until he looked at the post-game box score.

Editor's Note: The Kansan Big 12 Power Rankings are voted on by Ryan Colaiani and Daniel Berk, Kansas men's basketball writers, as well as Eric Sorrentino, sports editor, and Erick R. Schmidt, associate sports editor.
There was change, however, in the coaching ranks of the Big 12 this week. Oklahoma State was coached by an interim coach after Eddie Sutton was injured in a car accident. Kansas State's Jim Wooldridge was sidelined after neck surgery earlier in the week. Missouri was coached by Melvin Watkins after Quin Snyder resigned as head coach. Missouri was the lone team involved in the coaching carousel to win its game this weekend.
There was no change in the top four of this week's rankings. The top four teams won all of their games, and last week's line up was unanimously re-voted in the same order.
For the second week in a row, the winner of the pillow fight of the week was voted as the No. 12 team in the conference. Last week, it was Baylor beating Kansas State and then being voted into last place by virtue of its conference record. This week, Missouri beat Kansas State in Columbia, Mo., but it wasn't enough to make the voters forget the Tigers' six straight losses before the victory.
Texas A&M and Iowa State tied for the fifth spot, and so a tie-breaker was used. Both teams received two fifth-place votes and two sixth-place votes. The position, then, was decided by a combination of the fact that Iowa State lost to Texas A&M earlier this season, while Texas A&M is on a two-game winning streak. Iowa State lost to Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday.

▼ SQUIRREL
OH, SQUIRREL- I FORGOT TO RECORD THE "MISS AMERICA" PAGEANT FOR YOU. I HOPE YOU WEREN'T COUNTING ON IT.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) **** Easy do it, wear you decide to take on. Often, you are responsible for your own frustration. Think about the long-term and the progress you want to make. Feeling as if you are hitting your head against a wall will not help - promise.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ******
Your imagination could lead you on a wild-goose chase or into a risk. Nevertheless, you seem to find the solution to any problem or situation that heads your way. Schedule a fun lunch with a co-worker.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) **★★ For now, keep your thoughts to yourself. You might feel unduly pressured. Loosen up, knowing what works for you. Some might want to take today off, extending their weekend. Why not? You might find that you'll accomplish more in the remainder of the week as a result.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) *****You might be a much stronger force than you realize. Listen to what others say. Release frustration through discussing and brainstorming. There is always a solution. Know that, trust that.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) **** Finances and people prove to be challenging. If you mobilize the positive in a difficult situation, you prove to be the winner. How nice is that? Others enjoy brain-storming. You will be delighted by their suggestions.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) *****
You could be the cat's meow, if you so choose.
Your personality draws strong results and equally powerful reactions.
No matter what someone says, you are more in command than you realize.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) *** Sometimes you think you are taking on city hall. Right now you are. Detach and take an overview. You will love the results. Let your curiosity sort through gossip and get down to the basics.
Understanding develops.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)*****
Drive a hard bargain in a meeting. You will get positive results. Sometimes events don't fall as you would like.
Laughter can and will ease the pressure between you and someone else. Meetings work in your favor.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ***** Demands force you into the limelight, whether you are ready or not. Don't worry about anything or anyone other than meeting your responsibilities. Someone could be challenging. Let it be.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ******
News and information from a distance open new vistas. Don't think you have all the answers. Avoid acting like a bull in a china shop. You will be a lot happier, and so will those around you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ******
Work with a partner and don't buck
trends. You might be unusually creative,
but someone needs to know that he
or she is in charge. Listen to feedback,
deferring to a key associate for now.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★
Defer to others; you'll get important feedback. Though you might take someone personally, you might be off base.
Irritation filters from you to others.
Trouble could happen out of the blue.
Work on being reasonable.

KU defense needs to step up for a victory
KU Tip-off
LAST TIME OUT
Kansas defeated Iowa State 88-75 on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. Freshman guard Mario Chalmers led the Jayhawks with 23 points. He was a perfect 8-of-8 from the free-throw line. Kansas has now won seven games in a row and 14 of its last 16.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Chalmers. The freshman guard has improved in protecting the basketball. He had eight turnovers against Oklahoma last week, but just one turnover against Iowa State. He is also producing offensively. His 23 points against Iowa State was a career-high. Chalmers will need to deal with leading a team in a hostile environment tonight in Stillwater, Okla.
3 QUICK FACTS
0 — The number of weeks Kansas has been ranked in the Top 25 this season.
21. 5 The average points per game for Chalmers last week.
2 - Turnovers for senior guard Jeff Hawkins in the past eight games.
KEY TO VICTORY
Quiet the crowd. Kansas is usually on the receiving end of great fan support, but tonight it will play in a raucous Gallagher-Iba Arena. Kansas's key to victory will be to build an early lead and take the crowd out of the game.
Kansas vs. Oklahoma State, ESPN 8 p.m., Monday, Gallagher-Iba Arena
Kansas
OFFENSE
The Kansas offense has been clicking throughout its seven-game win streak in conference play. This has come from a balanced scoring attack led by freshman guard Brandon Rush. Freshman guard Mario Chalmers has also provided a strong offensive spark, averaging 21.5 points in his last two games. Kansas will need to deal with a hostile environment in Stillwater, Okla., tonight. The Jayhawks have fared well on the road this season, winning four of their five games. This will be the most difficult arena the Jayhawks have played in this season.
KU KU KU KU
DEFENSE
The Kansas defense was not great against Iowa State, but did enough to win. The unit gave up 75 points and also allowed the Cyclones to shoot better than 40 percent, which was the first time in six games that the Jayhawks allowed that to happen. Freshman forward Julian Wright established his defensive presence against Iowa State, setting a career-high in rebounds (nine) and tying his career-high in blocks (four). Oklahoma State has struggled offensively this season and Kansas will need to return to its old defensive form to give itself a good chance to win tonight.
Oklahoma State
OFFENSE
Oklahoma State has struggled this season on the offensive end. The Cowboys haven't scored more than 70 points in a game in four games and have lost three out of four games. When Oklahoma State manages to score, the bulk of it comes from junior forward/center Mario Boggan (13.7 points per game) and sophomore guard JamesOn Curry (13.5 points per game). Boggan gives the team an inside presence, as he is shooting 58.2 percent from the field. Curry is shooting only 40 percent from the field. Oklahoma State excels at the free-throw line, leading the Big 12 Conference in free throw percentage at 73.5 percent. The Cowboys are more of a threat down low near the basket, rather than the perimeter. Oklahoma State is last in the conference, averaging just 4.46 three-point shots per game.
8 8 8
KU KU KU
DEFENSE
Although Oklahoma State has struggled this season, it hasn't been because of a lack of defense. The Cowboys recently allowed 46 points to Texas A&M and still lost the game. It starts with the guards, as Curry and freshman guard Byron Eaton have active hands on defense. Overall, Oklahoma State is allowing 65.8 points per game, which is seventh best in the conference. Although the team has a lot of big men, the rebounding has been a problem for this team this season. The Cowboys are ninth in the conference in rebounding.

OSU Tip-off
LAST TIME OUT
Oklahoma State played against Texas A&M on Saturday without the services of coach Eddie Sutton, who was involved in a car accident on Friday. He is in stable condition now, and plans to return to coaching as soon as his health allows, according to Oklahoma State's Web site. Despite holding Texas A&M to only 46, Oklahoma State lost a heartbreaker, 46-44, Oklahoma State had only 12 field goals the entire game.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Sophomore guard JamesOn Curry, Although he's only averaging 13.5 points per game this season, he is still capable of ripping off 25 points on any night, Kansas sophomore Russell Robinson will most likely guard Curry tonight, which will be crucial in determining the outcome of the game.
3 QUICK FACTS
30 — Oklahoma State shot only 30 percent (12-of-39) from the field against Texas A&M.
14 — The Cowboys have lost their last four conference games by a combined 14 points.
4 — The number of starters Oklahoma State lost from last season's team.
KEY TO VICTORY
Play well early, Gallagherba Arena is one of the best home courts in the nation and must get the crowd involved early. If Oklahoma State can hit its shots and get an early lead, the fans will get into the game, making it more difficult for a Kansas road victory.

STUDENT SENATE
Fees may increase
Money would support athletics
By NICOLE KELLEY
nkelley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
WWW.KANSAN.COM
Starting next semester, there could be a noticeable increase to student campus fees.
The Athletics Department asked Student Sonate to increase the Women's and Non-Revenue Sports fee for the first time in a decade. This would better support those teams.
"I believe that the students will readily support it because they have seen what support can mean to women's sports," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.
Every three years, each campus fee is reviewed by a committee to determine if it is still at an acceptable amount. Andrew Payne, Garden City junior and chairman
of the Fee Review Committee said the Athletics Department submitted two proposals to the committee last Tuesday.
The first proposal would increase the current $20 amount by $5 per student per semester. In 1996, when the fee was first added, the amount represented 31 percent of the Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports budget.
I believe that the students will readily support it because they have seen what support can mean to women's sports."

Andrew Rotman, Cawker City freshman, was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The cause of death is unknown.
Jesse Niebaum, Pittsburg freshman and one of Rotman's roommates, said he greeted Rotman in the hallway Sunday night about 8:30 p.m., right before Rotman collapsed. Rotman grad
Rotman was a well-intended, goofy guy who was open to anything. Niebaum said. Rotman once created an entire meal out of juice at Mrs. E's, he said, and stole his roommates' barbecue sauce while they were trying to eat.

"The sudden loss of such a bright young man who was filled with promise and who had already begun an active college career in the short time he was at KU fills us with great sadness," Hemenway said. "We offer our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends."
Jessica Sullivan, AURH president, said the hardest part for her Monday was remembering the in-depth conversation the two had Sunday at Mrs. E's about Monday's AURH meeting.

Picking up the PACE
Valentine's Day brings business and busy-ness

ocal businesses feel the stress instead of the love on Feb. 14. It's a day for extra inventory and long hours, almost always resulting in a substantially larger payoff than the year's other 364 days.
Here's a look at how four local businesses prepare for the most romantic day of the year.
While sticking price tags to displays holding the famous boxes of chocolate, Carol Morgan looked tired.

The crew at Russell Stover Candies, 1300 W. 23rd St., ordered its Valentine's Day inventory in October and has been preparing for its busiest day of the year ever since.
you get your help lined up, your products lined up, and I'd like to say it goes smoothly." Morgan said. "Well, it goes smoother."
Of course, the candy industry does a great deal of business during the month of February. Morgan gave numbers that even the most extreme chocolate lover would have trouble digesting.
In the five days leading up to the big day, her store does 20 to 25 percent of its business for the entire year, Morgan said.
Although Wal-Mart and other discount chains sell Russell Stover products, this store sells all the Russell Stover candies on the market. Morgan's crew makes its own sweets, too, such as chocolate-dipped fruit and nut clusters. Already approaching 60 hours this week in the kitchen, Steve Agnew, Atchison senior, said that his Valentine's Day would start at 6 a.m. in the store.
"If you're prepared and you know what's coming,

CRIME
Knock, knock; girl with knife at door
Jon Englert heard his door bell ring at 9 p.m. on Super Bowl Sunday. He got up to open the door expecting to see a friend who was coming over to play "Halo 2" after the big game. Instead, he said he was greeted by a tiny woman with a knife.
The woman, who was no taller then 5 feet 2 inches, told Englert, Syracuse sophomore, that she was sorry to bother him but that she had a knife and needed $20, according to a police report.
BY MIKE MOSTAFFA
mmostaffa@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Englert said he slammed the door on the would-be robber, locked it, and called the police. Englert said that he could not get a good look at the woman, but that he noticed her face was covered almost entirely with a scarf and a stocking hat.
"At first I didn't know if I should just punch her in the face or just slam the door," Englert said.
Police arrived at Englert's apartment complex, near 23rd and Kasold streets, and began to search the area for the suspect.
Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department spokesman, said the department could not find any suspects who matched her description.
He said police found a wool scarf, a gray stocking cap and a kitchen knife with a black handle near the crime scene.

Englert, said the incident didn't really bother him. He found it more puzzling then nerve-racking.
But now he thinks twice before opening the door every time it rings, he said.
"I'm going to start using the peephole," Englert said, "just to see who's out there."

'You and I' group preps adults with disabilities
BY ELIZABETH LAURE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Zachary Lewis is looking for a date with a "positive attitude." Josh Wolf would like to spend time with someone "polite and friendly." Zaheer Malik wants a girlfriend who is "not too serious and not too silly, but in between."
All three are learning about dating and relationships as part of "You and I," a program for young adults who are retarded or autistic or have other mental disabilities.
On Monday night, about a dozen participants gathered to make ziti, salad and garlic bread and learn the cha-cha at a pre-Valentine's Day party.
Senior sex educator Bobra Fune, center, gives a lesson on cha-cha dancing during "You and I," a program for young adults challenged by autism, mental retardation and other disabilities to learn dating, self-esteem, social and sexual skills with such specifics as body language, grooming and conversation starters Monday in New York. The program, including the Valentine social, is offered through YAI/National Institute for People with Disabilities, which serves more than 20,000 people.
"I just love hanging out," George Korawckvi, 19, said.
At "You and I" events, the participants — the guys outnumber the women 16 to three — learn "social-sexual skills," with specifics on body language, grooming and conversation starters. There are also sections on feelings, body awareness and sex education.
The program's coordinator, Bobra Fyne, says it can be tough for parents to realize that their children are adults who are ready for relationships.
Jeanette Reyes said her 20-year-old autistic son, Anthony Hasan, "loves girls dearly" but didn't know how to connect with them. She decided it would be better for him to learn about dating from people she
trusted.
"I didn't know how it would be, but I knew I couldn't be afraid anymore," she says.
Each session ends with a dance hour.
Wolf's mother, Roberta Wolf, said the dancing is a "big plus" for her 28-year-old son, who works in the mailroom at Goldman Sachs. "He loves to dance, and any opportunity for a dance party is the biggest draw for him," she said.
Malik's mother got tears in her eyes when she saw her 29-year-old son dancing for the first time.
"You and I" is aimed at twenty-somethings who live with their parents in New York City and "are falling through the cracks. There's just no social outlet for them at all," said Fyne, who started her first group in 1999.
In an exercise last week, group members drew hearts. Outside the hearts, they completed the sentence
"I want somebody who looks like..."
Inside the hearts, they completed
the sentence "I want somebody who
treats me ..."
"The really juicy stuff is inside the heart," Fyne said. One writer wanted "somebody who isn't afraid of me because I have a disability."
Members also practice phone conversations and have workshops on how to say no and how to get out of difficult situations. A holiday session was about gift-giving on a budget.

Millions squandered in Katrina relief fraud
BY HOPE YEN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The government squandered millions of dollars in Katrina disaster aid, including handing $2,000 debit cards to people who gave phony Social Security numbers and used the money for such items as a $450 tattoo, auditors said Monday.
In other instances, recipients improperly used their debit cards intended for food and shelter for $400 massages, a $450 tattoo, a $1,100 diamond engagement ring and $150 worth of products at "Condoms to Go."
Federal money also paid for $375-a-day beachfront condos and 10,777 trailers that were stuck in mud and unusable.
Overcharges, poor accounting and abuses will take "months or years" to rectify, the Government Accountability Office and the Homeland Security Department's inspector general concluded in preliminary reports on how billions of dollars in taxpayer money is being spent.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency recognizes it "made many, many mistakes," and is working on improvement, said Homeland Security inspector general Richard Skinner. "But they're not where they should be. In some cases, the government will have little legal recourse to recoup payments to contractors for payments."
Separately the Justice Department said Monday that federal prosecutors had filed fraud, theft and other charges against 212 people accused of scams related to Gulf Coast hurricanes.
Forty people have pleaded guilty so far, the latest report by the Hurricane Katrina Fraud Task Force said. Many defendants were accused of trying to obtain emergency aid, typically a $2,000 debit card, issued to hurricane victims by FEMA and the American Red Cross.
The GAO report found that up to 900,000 of the 2.5 million applicants who received aid under the emergency cash assistance program — which included the debit cards given to evacuees — based their requests on duplicate or invalid Social Security numbers, or false addresses
and names.
In other instances, recipients improperly used their debit cards intended for food and shelter for $400 massages, a $450 tattoo, a $1,100 diamond engagement ring and $150 worth of products at "Condoms to Go."
The reports called for stronger controls to verify the eligibility of disaster victims who apply for aid over the phone and Internet, better planning of emergency supplies for hurricanes and improved accounting of FEMA's vast inventory of temporary housing.
Senators decried the problems.
"Once again, FEMA failed to adequately plan for the very type of disaster that occurs virtually every year," said U.S. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) who chairs a Senate panel reviewing the government's response to the storm.

Mark Dimond and son Cameron, 5, of North Grafton, Mass., slide down the snow-covered slopes of the Westborough Country Club Monday in Westborough, Mass. Schools along the East Coast were closed after a snowstorm blanketed the region on Sunday.
Snowfall hinders travel in Northeast
BY ROGER PETTERSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Most highways had been cleared in time for the morning commute, though many city streets and sidewalks were still snow-packed and slippery.
Drivers shoveled out of their cars, stranded travelers waited impatiently for trains and planes to get back to full service, and utility crews struggled to restore power Monday after a record-breaking weekend snowstorm hit the Northeast.
Hundreds of schools canceled classes from West Virginia to Massachusetts, but youngsters did not get a holiday in New York City, where subways continued running and major streets had been plowed despite a record-breaking 26.9-inch snowfall.
"I never want to see snow again," Laura Guerra, 27, of Miami, said after spending the night on a cot at New York's LaGuardia Airport. She said she had not seen snow since she was 4, "but I got it out of my system."
Coast from Maine to the mountains of western North Carolina, where Robbinsville got 20 inches of snow and a scenic highway remained closed Monday by 6-foot drifts.
The storm blanketed the East
Airlines worked to catch up after canceling hundreds of weekend flights at major airports, stranding travelers in the Northeast.
All three major New York area airports — Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark — had reopened by Monday morning with limited service.
Amtrak still had numerous
storm-related schedule changes.
Some passengers were stranded Sunday on the Long Island Rail Road east of New York City, where trains got stuck on snow-covered tracks. One train was marooned for five hours. Limited LIRR service into Manhattan resumed on Monday morning.
ON CAMPUS
"Usually the trains never stop. It's never been like this," Rebecca Karpus said Monday as she waited to return home on the LIRR after being marooned at Penn Station since 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
"It's very,very poor emergency planning on the part of the Long Island Rail Road to have passengers stranded for 10,15 17 hours," fumed Walter Garcia, 39, who spent almost 18 hours at Penn Station.
The storm also knocked out power across parts of the Northeast, most severely in Maryland, where utilities personnel said more than 48,000 homes and businesses still had no power Monday. About 16,000 customers lost power Sunday in New Jersey, but almost all of them had electricity again on Monday.

Eagle closer to flying free from list
BY JOHN HEILPRIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The American bald eagle, after batting back from the threat of extinction because of habitat loss and DDT, took another step Monday toward coming off the endangered species list.
The Interior Department's Fish and Wildlife Service issued draft voluntary guidelines spelling out how landowners, land managers and others should pro

The Clinton administration proposed removing the bald eagle from the endangered species list in 1999. But the delisting has taken far longer than the typical year, partly because updated counts are required from each
Officials said Monday's action could lead to the bald eagle coming off the list within the next year or so.
of the states, and some of those have their own rules that add to red tape.
"Should the eagle be delisted, we expect that the public will notice little change in how eagles are managed and protected," said H. Dale Hall, the Fish and Wildlife Service's director.
He said at least 7,066 known nesting pairs now exist in the
contiguous United States. The bald eagle's territory stretches over much of the North American continent. Tens of thousands more live in Alaska and Canada, where their existence never was imperiled.
However, 43 years ago, there were just 417 known nesting pairs left in the lower 48 states. In 1967, under a law that preceded the 1973 Endangered Species Act, the fierce raptor was officially declared an endangered species in the lower 48.

Peeking into a freezer in the basement, known by employees as the dungeon, one could see cut and arranged flowers lining the chilly shelves. Each
holding a card addressed to the apple of some Lawrencian's eye, they waited in vases to be delivered.
"It's a little bit like a play," said Susan Engle, owner of Englewood Florist, of Valentine's Day in her shop. "You work so hard at rehearsals, fight at the dress rehearsal and somebody is going to be yelling at somebody else. Sure, it's going to get a little tense, but then you get to the show and realize this is why we do this. It's all about the applause."
Today is Engle's 13th Valentine's Day as a florist at 1101 Massachusetts St. She and Cary, her husband and co-owner of the store, start their Valentine's Day preparation on February 15th of the previous year.
"What other businesses will do in a month, we'll do in one day." Ennale said.
On a typical day, Englewood Florist will deliver anywhere between 50 to 50 orders. Today, however, Engle said that they already had more than 200 deliveries planned and 40 to 45 extra drivers who are temporarily hired.

The Delta Sigma Phi colony lost its opportunity to become a potential fraternity chapter Monday because of financial difficulties.
The colony of 22 members had been put on financial probation by its national headquarters.
After the colony failed to meet a financial deadline, the head-quarters pulled the plug.
Delta Sigma Phi will not be a fraternity at KU
The colony folded in October and decided not to try to regain its charter, said Brett Jentz, former president of the colony.
The colony started in 2003 after the headquarters made a proposition to start the fraternity at the University. It had been a fraternity at one time, but the dates of the chapter's existence were not recorded.
National headquarters allowed Delta Sigma Phi to try again for a chapter in the future.

PROVOST SEARCH
Second candidate shares his views
The editorial board plans to interview each candidate for provost, Jason Shaad, opinion editor, Nate Karlin, managing editor and Patrick Ross, associate opinion editor, conducted a phone interview with provost candidate Jack Burns at the University of Colorado-Boulder on several issues. The following are the questions and his selected answers.
Burns
Q: What about the University appeals most to you?
A: There's a history of some strong and stable leadership at the University with Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost David Shulenburger, and traditionally the deans have been in place a good deal of time. The leadership has also been very visionary. Two other things attracted me to the University that may be more relevant to you: One was looking at the student satisfaction surveys that show a high level of satisfaction of students in their education at KU. That's consistent with the morale of the students that I met with during my visit. That's
D. H. M.
coupled with the rate of the level of alumni giving, because when alumni are happy with the education they received, they tend to donate more back to the University. KU has one of the highest alumni giving rates of public universities in its peer group of institutions. The student satisfaction and the alumni satisfaction says a lot to me.
Q: How would you approach the University's four-year graduation rate?
PAGE 5A
A: One area that I've put a lot of work into is thematic learning communities. I talked to some folks at the University about that last week. KU has begun experimenting with them now and has had some good success. I think there are some 400 students this year, freshmen, who are in the thematic learning communities. The national statistics on these are extremely encouraging. There is a dramatic improvement in the retention rate between freshman and sophomore years, something like 20 percent higher between students in learning communities and those who are not. It also carries over into graduation. There is a significantly higher graduation rate of those who participate in learning communities. That's an area that in general adds to the educational opportunities for students. I would like to work on expanding it at KU. It really is an opportunity for students to learn outside of the classroom and to work in teams, which is very similar to what you're going to find when you work in any discipline.
Q: What is your stance concerning alcohol on campus?
A: In Colorado this is the kind of thing that is driven home to me in several different ways. Personally, I worry about the alcohol issue. My wife and I have twins, both of whom are 21, and are going to the University of Colorado. We've had a lot of discussions with them about alcohol and the ways in which it's used and abused on campuses. Last year, we had two deaths at Colorado universities due to alcohol over-consumption and alcohol poisoning. That really drives home an issue of great concern to any of us who are faculty, administrators or parents. I'm not very comfortable with alcohol in areas where underage students may be, whether it's a bowling alley or another place on campus. I would just prefer to see the campus, as it has, continue to work toward alcohol-free zones.
A: Let me just mention that here at the University of Colorado, our student evaluations are made public. In general, I'm comfortable with that. Some caveats need to go along with that. First of all we have to realize that the evaluations are pretty blunt instruments. They don't really capture all the student's learning. So one of the things we've done here, and one of the things that I would encourage if I were to be provost at KU, is a collaboration between students, faculty and administrators to improve, using the best social science data available, the evaluation forms and to improve the questions. Secondly, there are other ways of evaluating classes. One thing that we started doing here are student evaluations of the syllabus because that's another evaluation of what the class is about and how it's been successful. Thirdly, we do a lot of peer review of teaching. There are other faculty from either the same department or other departments who come in and evaluate faculty. We use that as a tool to improve teaching and for tenure promotions. But some aspect of that also feeds in to students knowledge of a class. In general, I like an open process, but we need to make improvements to that process.
Q: How do you feel about making end-of-term teacher evaluations available to the public?
Q: What do you want to do to fulfill Chancellor Robert Hemenway's vision of KU as a top 25 university?
A. 1 think what the chancellor is really getting to is enhancement in the excellence and quality of the University as a whole. That includes student learning, where what we need to do is to continue to refine our measures of success in student learning. We were talking earlier about graduation rates as one measure, but there are a number of others. There are satisfaction surveys, the success students have in getting jobs, getting into graduate schools and scores on LSATs and MCATs and GREs, all of which go into some combination of measures of success in student learning. Also, success, excellence and quality in faculty scholarship in the disciplines that KU is already strong in—humanities, social sciences, the sciences, engineering, business, law—that's very important and there are some measures that can be used there. Finally, in terms of thinking about a top 25, measuring excellence in terms of service to the state and the nation. That can include how KU students are contributing to the work force, new companies that spin out of the University of Kansas and contributions to the state economy. All of those are ingredients for excellence and success, and you couple that with new initiatives like the cancer center and the expansion of the Hall Center, and all these things are going in the right direction.
A: My attitude has always been safety first. If you have freezing rain or snow, you really have to look at students, staff and faculty, and how safe or dangerous it is to come onto campus. That should be the main criteria.

COMMENTARY
I don't have a wish list for Valentine's Day this year. I realized that I don't need Russell Stover chocolates or a new dress that hugs in all the right places to wear to dinner. The holiday that reminds some of the love they don't have, others of the love they share, reminds me of the love of my friends.
Today, the ribbon will be cut on the room named after Nicole Bingham at the new Ronald McDonald House. It would have been her ultimate dream to be forever immortalized into an organization she loved so much, which was made possible through the donations of Alpha Delta Pi.
Last semester, we struggled together, cried together and let it all hang out in a way that would have made Nicole proud. When we found out that Nicole had died in the Boardwalk Apartment fire, we rallied together. I became closer to friends than I thought possible and realized that to find the true meaning of sisterhood, I had to look no farther than my friends. Through the depths of tragedy, we were able to find light in those closest to us. All we can do now is pay tribute in a way that we think she would have wanted. October was an intense month full of tears and eventually laughter. It was a terrible event, but Nicole would have wanted her passing to make us open our eyes and realize how much we mean to one another.

The most important lesson I learned through the boxes of Kleenex is that nothing replaces the love of a friend. People often get so wrapped up in their own lives and the duties that surround it that spending time with friends gets shoved in the "to do" pile. I am definitely guilty of that. I have a hard time juggling two jobs, school and trying to find time to sleep at night. Sometimes, the only time during the day I see my room-mates is when I get into bed.
This needs to change. Friends are more than people to bar hop down Massachusetts Street and eat lunch with. Fair-weather friends wouldn't hold your hair back while you embrace the porcelain god or bail you out of jail. True friends are the ones who would visit you in the hospital and fly across the nation to attend your wedding.
cupcakes). Four years in college will go by faster than you realize; spend your time with the people who matter most.
So let the change begin today and always let your friends know how much you care. Drop them little notes during their stressful weeks at school or work. Write a funny saying on their Facebook wall. Bake them cupcakes on their birthday (I recommend Funfetti
It's about more than dinners, "Sex and the City" episodes and working on a car together. Try to make sure that your time spent with them is more than "How are you?" when you pass them in a hallway of Budig Hall. If you usually go to Target by yourself, make a few phone calls and see if anyone else wants to tag along. Your normal conditioner shopping trip could turn into more laughter than you thought possible in the aisles of a store. Invest what would normally be beer money in a good camera. Buy your friends picture frames and go picture crazy one night. Give them each a funny photo that will make them smile for years to come. The more pictures I take of my friends, the more I realize that those images are worth more than I could ever say.
Above all, remember that those who truly care about you will be beside you when the world seems to crumble at your feet. Don't wait until it's too late to visit a friend's new apartment or give them a hug. This Valentine's Day don't just spend it with a significant other, make a point to tell your friends that you care and support them.

Dating culture causes conflict
A. S. Ramanathan
BEN BROWN
RYAN SCARROW opinion@kansan.com
Because it is Valentine's Day, somebody needs to stick up for all of us singles out there who will be visiting a video store, watching the Olympics, ordering out or otherwise doing anything but celebrating with a committed significant other. Sure, we could wallow in self-pity or stuff ourselves with chocolate (or another just as intoxicating substance), but I think we should do something better. Thank goodness that we don't have committed significant others.
I'm sure there is lots of joy and happiness to be found in relationships. My best friends are married to each other now after several years together, while other friends have been in relationships for some time. So I say this with some trepidation, but I think the current system of dating is really not the best for producing meaningful relationships for our age group.
Dating as our society has under stood it since our parents started getting frisky (by the way, eew) is that when two people think they like each other, they start dating. After a short (sometimes very short) period, those two people then become exclusive or 'steady,' and if they last long enough, they start to take on the characteristics of married couples.
That is, after all, the goal of dating: To prepare a young person for marriage, or, at the very least, a committed partnership with another person, through practicing what it takes to sustain a lifelong relationship with a loved one.
However, dating has another purpose: Helping us figure out what we want in a mate. After all, why spend your entire life with a blonde when, deep down, you always preferred brunettes (or better yet, redheads)? And forget physical features. Wait until the brass tacks of keeping a checkbook, farting in front of the parents, or getting shelved on a more-than-regular basis come up. Through dating, we are supposed to keep a mental tally of what qualities we find attractive, and to oh-so-gently keep an eye out for somebody who might seem more qualified.
Thus, our dating system has at its core two systemic, mutually-exclusive objectives: To commit yourself to somebody, and yet to think of all the reasons why you wouldn't want to commit to that somebody. I haven't even gone into the notion of 'hooking up.'
What, then, is the alternative to dating? Well, unfortunately, mail order isn't the be-all, end-all some might have anticipated. I would say that we drop the exclusivity from dating, but that seems to lead to the aforementioned 'hooking up.' Perhaps all that we can do is realize the futility of the situation that society has thrust us into, take all relationship advice with a grain of salt, and not worry so much about being single. As if you wanted to share your chocolate in the first place.

Bush administration fires back at Brown

WASHINGTON — The Bush administration on Monday pushed back hard against Katrina-response criticism leveled by ex-disaster agency chief Michael Brown and congressional investigators.

Hussein chants against Bush at hearings
BY HAMZA HENDAWI
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Prosecutors tried to link Saddam Hussein directly to torture and executions, producing documents with his orders and handwriting and putting one of his closest confidants on the stand Monday.
After the raucous start, prosecutors made their strongest attempt yet to prove Saddam's role in a wave of arrests and executions that followed a 1982 attempt on his life in the Shiite
"This is a cheap attitude," Khaled al-Dulaimi told The Associated Press.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The former Iraqi leader and his co-defendants were forced to attend the session. Saddam appeared in a traditional Arab robe and bedroom slippers instead of his usual crisp suit, arguing vehemently with the judge and shouting "Down with Bush!" as he waved his finger.
The defendants have rejected court-appointed attorneys named to replace their own lawyers who walked out of the trial last month, and are demanding the removal of chief judge Rouf Abdel-Rahman. In Jordan, Saddam's chief defense lawyer said there were no plans to end the boycott and denounced the court for forcing the former leader to attend.
His top co-defendant and half brother, Barzan Ibrahim — dressed only in long underwear — struggled with guards as he was pulled into the courtroom. Ibrahim, the former chief of intelligence, then sat on the floor with his back to the judge in protest for much of the session.

village of Dujail.
Twenty-six prosecution witnesses have testified since the Saddam trial began Oct. 19, many providing accounts of torture and imprisonment in the crackdown, but they could not directly pin them on Saddam.
For the first time, the prosecution introduced documents and put two former members of Saddam's regime on the stand. The witnesses included one of his closest aides, Ahmed Hussein Khudayer al-Samarrai, head of Saddam's presidential office from 1984 to 1991 and then again from 1995 until Saddam's ouster in 2003.
Screens in the courtroom, including the press gallery, showed a document in Arabic dated to 1984 allegedly written and signed by Saddam in which he ratified "the execution of the Dujail criminals." A handwritten note at the bottom was allegedly by al-Samarrai.
Asked if the note was his handwriting, al-Samarrai, 62, said he could not be sure.

Junior guard benched

to take the court for Kansas in some time, standing just 5-foot-6 but able to rebound over much taller players.
That athleticism has not translated to success in Division I college basketball, and Mosley has averaged just 2.7 points per game and 2.3 rebounds per game this season.
Henrickson said earlier this year that Mosley had struggled to grasp the intricacies of running the offense, a job that went to freshman guard Ivana Catic.
Mosley's lone start in Big 12 Conference play came in a 90-40 loss to Baylor. She started when Catic was benched because of poor defensive play.
In January, when the team had a week off between games, Henrickson used the extra time to talk with bench players Mosley, junior guard Sharita Smith, and freshman forward Sophronia Sallard, who the coach dubbed "the three amigos."
Sallard has made progress since then, winning a spot in the starting lineup for last Saturday's game at Missouri. Smith has seen limited minutes this season.
"They need to band together, get each other right, and demand more from each other," Hendrickson said at the time.

Jayhawks come out slow but take off in second half

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITER
STILLWATER, Okla. — Kansas did not make a jump shot for the entire first half against Oklahoma State Monday night. The Jayhawks committed 15 turnovers in the half and shot 27.3 percent.
In a game that was by no means pretty, they still found a way to win.
Kansas trailed by two points midway through the second half, but went on a 24-7 run to finish the game. Kansas still committed 20 turnovers.
It took Kansas 30 minutes to find its offensive rhythm, but it still defeated Oklahoma State 64-49.
"It was ugly ball there for a while," Kansas coach Bill Self said, "but this team needs to learn to win that way. I thought the last 10 minutes we played pretty well."

threatening to win the Big 12 Conference, with the NCAA tournament in sight. But Kansas has been a rare topic of conversation in the national media.
It's a wonder why Kansas basketball doesn't get as much national attention as some other programs.
I don't need to tell you about all of Kansas' accomplishments. As the third winningest program in NCAA basketball, it ranks as high as any program nationally when
winning is combined with tradition. At least KU fans like to think so.
But do you ever see Kansas' story discussed on sports talk programs like "Pardon the Interruption" or "Around the Horn?" Or do you see it as the feature of a report on "College GameDav?" Hardly.
If North Carolina were in the same position, one game behind Duke in the conference standings, the media would fall in love with the young, resilient Tar Heels. Instead, Saturday night's "SportsCenter" put Kansas on the bubble, in the same category as truly struggling teams like Kentucky, Arizona and Louisville. That's absurd.
Anyone who actually follows this season's team knows how good it is. About two weeks ago Jason Whitlock wrote in the Kansas City Star that Kansas was a legitimate national title threat. Last Monday, ESPN's Fran Fraschilla, who has broadcast a number of Kansas' games, said he thought Kansas should have been ranked because of the way it had been playing recently.
So, is this some kind of media conspiracy? Does the East Coast bias really exist? When Roy Williams left with his University of North Carolina connection, did the attention he brought to Kansas leave too? Or is this lack of notice Kansas' fault?
One reason could be that Kansas has not recently won a national championship. Other powers in college basketball like Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky and Connecticut have won multiple national titles since Kansas' last one in 1988. For Kansas to be that respected, it has to win the big one.
Another reason could be all the big upsets Kansas has been involved in since 1988. Most people see Kansas as the team that always has a chance but ruins it in the tournament, thanks to shocking victories by University of Texas at El Paso in 1992,Arizona in 1997,Rhode Island in 1998,Syracuse in 2003 and Bucknell in 2005 among others.
With the recruits he'll bring in, Kansas coach Bill Self, who should be strongly considered for national coach of the year, is about to change those perceptions and put Kansas basketball back where it belongs in the media's eyes.
Within the next 10 years, the Jayhawks will win at least two national titles. We'll see how they're perceived then.

What started off as an intramural basketball game at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center turned into a game with flaring tempers.
Physical play and disputed calls were part of the 40-32 Moody Maniacs victory against Phi Kappa Tau on Sunday night. After a while, it seemed like playing basketball wasn't important to either team.
This was evidenced in the technical foul called on the Moody Maniacs' Danny Friedman, Cleveland senior, for comments he made to the referee in
the second half.
Tyler Dall, Overland Park junior, was injured on the play leading to Friedman's technical foul when many players dove for a loose ball.
Friedman's teammates went as far as taking him out of the game so he could cool down. Friedman jawed at the referee for much of the second half.

Phi Kappa Tau started slowly, but Koehring and Devin Mirfasihi, Leawood freshman, made free throws to keep the team in the game when few of their shots were falling.

Caltech studies hard, plays poorly
BY KEN PETERS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PASADENA, Calif. — If basketball were rocket science, Caltech would be flying high.
Instead, the brainy Beavers have turned losing into a mathematical constant. They're 0-242 in conference games, a streak dating 21 years, and have lost 195 in a row against NCAA opponents.
"Those numbers are impossible, even at a place like Caltech," Beavers coach Roy Dow said. "It's impossible to the point of silly."
The world-renowned institution
Although Caltech stayed relatively close in the conference game against Division III foe Occidental, the 12th-ranked Tigers beat the Beavers 80-66.
Like other Division III schools, the California Institute of Technology does not offer athletic scholarships. Only six members on this season's squad so much as played varsity in high school, and all of those are underclassmen.
where Albert Einstein lectured, where Linus Pauling was a professor and where 31 Nobel Prize winners either have taught or studied, draws only the best and brightest students in science and math.
At a recent game, youngsters in the stands held a sign with a complex mathematical formula that might equal a victory.
But not necessarily the tallest and most coordinated.
Jordan Carlson, who played intramural basketball in high school, scored 29 points and was Caltech's lone player in double figures. The senior physics major was able to put the loss, and all the others while he's been at Caltech, in relative terms.
Didn't happen.
It always gets frustrating when you have homework to do and you're tired, but that's natural, that happens everywhere," said Carlson, at 6-foot-5 one of the tallest on the team.
Asked if his knowledge of physics helps him propel the ball through the hoop. Carlson chuckled and said, "No."
All has not been completely lost for Caltech basketball. The Beavers have won two games in recent years, against a pair of non-NCAA schools. The most recent was a 51-49 victory against Life Pacific at the beginning of last season.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ****
Though you might get a surprising jolt or two, you can deal with it. Know that, and trust yourself. A discussion might help clear the air, relieving unneeded stress. By the afternoon, you find that others will adjust.
▼ HOROSCOPES
ARIES (March 21-April.19)****
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ******
Your imagination could go a bit haywire if you're not careful. You hear some strange news that comes out of left field. The good news is, these words touch your creativity.
Plug this energy into different facets of your life.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) *****
Understanding your limits might be instrumental to your sanity right now. You cannot control others, and any attempt to do so could be more upsetting than you'd anticipated. Adopt a laissez-faire attitude. You will be happier and more relaxed.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) *****
You might want to think before you leap into action. Realize your limits with key people in your life. A new door will swing wide open if you are accepting. Keep communication flowing.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) *****
Hand your finance with kid gloves.
If connected to another, you could be affected by someone's quirkiness. Allow yourself to take a minor risk, such as a buying a lottery ticket. You might hit a home run!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) *****
A lot might be out of control for the moment, but you have the energy to successfully handle whatever someone tosses in your path. A family member needs to revise his or her thinking. Gently walk this person to where you are.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★
Knowing when to back off today could determine the long-term results of an important situation. You might need to revise your thinking a bit. There is no time like the present. Think rather than act.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ******
Knowing what you are aiming for could
make or break today's results. An invest-
ment involving your home, which could
be even a home office, comes up today.
For some, a real estate investment heads
in your direction.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) *****
Without realizing it, you assume a lot of responsibility and might have a problem out of the blue. Your ability to adjust and flex helps you. Keep talking, even if a situation gets difficult. Everyone, including you, will see a situation in a new light!
CAPICRORIN (Dec 22-Jan. 19) *****
You might not always be comfortable with what comes down your path. Today is no difference. You might need to adjust your thinking in response to a money matter. Flex, and happiness ensues.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★
You'll get results by working with others independently. If you let go of your "stuff", you will see life quite differently.
Be willing to see people as they are, as opposed to how you wish they were.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ******
Others do a most effective job of shaking up the status quo. You might want to rethink your ideas regarding someone who often challenges you. You could opt not to be annoyed and instead feel relieved that someone thinks about you.

the rewind
Key plays:
Freshman forward Julian Wright drove from the right corner early in the first half and was able to complete a reverse layup to put Kansas up 8-0. That would be the largest lead the Jayhawks would hold until late in the second half.
OklahomaState looked to have the momentum when junior forward Mario Boggan stole the ball from Kansas freshman guard Brandon Rush and drove all the way to the basket, where he laid the ball in and was fouled by Rush. That gave the Cowboys the lead with 10 minutes remaining in the game.
♦ Freshmanguard Russell Robinson brought the Jayhawks back by responding to Boggan's play, connecting on one from the right corner, giving Kansas a 43-42降. Kansas never gave up the lead.
Ryan Colaiani
Basketball Notes:
- Kansas freshman guard Mario Chalmers was named Big 12 player of the week yesterday after averaging 21.5 points per game last week. Chalmers was the first freshman to be named player of the week since Oklahoma's Drew Lavender won the award in 2003. Earlier in the season Chalmers was named Big 12 rookie of the week.
- ♦ Kansas' eighth straight victory extended its longest winning streak of the season.
- Self got his first victory at Gallagher-Iba Arena, a venue where he played his college basketball days during the 1980s.
- ♦ Senior forward Christian Moody attempted his first free-throws on the road since the team's loss to Missouri in January.
- With his 13 points, Chalmers has now scored double figures in four straight games.
- ♦ Senior guard Jeff Hawkins has just two turnovers in his last nine games.
- Robinson's five steals were a career high.The team's 16 steals were a season high.
♦ The 23 first half points for Kansas were the lowest offensive output in a first half for Kansas this season.
— Ryan Colaianni
8:12 p.m. Oklahoma State takes a time-out after a freshman guard Brandon Rush layup and a freshman guard Mario Chalmers steal and dunk. On the other side of the four points is a 22. I don't get it. What does the 22 mean?
8-26 A clock blunder at Gallagher-Iba Arena. Clock operators are having a rough time lately.
8:54 The clock isn't working again.
8:49 Big 12 player of the week Chalmers breaks a long Kansas drought with a runner down the lane. Oklahoma State hasn't scored in the last 7-11.
8. 59 The clock has inadvertently stopped for the third time. They should just start using a stop watch. The clock technician makes an appearance.
9:09 Haltime. A defensive-minded, yet ugly first half. It's 23-23 and both teams have combined for 28 turnovers.
9:05 "That's the first lead tonight for Oklahoma State," according to broadcast announcer Ron Franklin. The score is 21-21.
9. 07 A fan in the Oklahoma State student section has a picture of a swimsuit model in an effort to distract Kansas players.
9. 32 Freshman forward Julian Wright goes behind the back and throws the left-handed bounce pass to sophomore guard Russell Robinson, who can't finish the highlight by missing the layup.
9:58 Alley-oop from Chelmers to Rush. Kansas is about to run away with this.
9:55 Robinson hits a three-pointer to take the 43-42 lead. He's been struggling with his shot and needed that to fall.
10:04 Sophomore forward Sasha Kaun with the finesse lefty hook in the lane (Sasha and finesse usually don't go hand in hand).
9:42 Thanks to sideline reporter Holly Rowe. After Rowe comments on how Rush has not scored yet in the first half, he drains a jumper from the wing.
10:05 Wright is taking over without scoring. He has three straight assists and Kansas leads by 11.
10:15 Rush throws it down to put the exclamation mark on the Jayhawks' eighth straight victory.

Victory
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The Jayhawks calmed down eventually, connecting on nearly 50 percent of their shots in the second half and committing only five turnovers.
Early Kansas points came via layups or dunks, but those didn't come often. The teams went into halftime tied at 23 after connecting on only 13 shots combined.
Kansas failed to connect on a jump shot until freshman guard Brandon Rush hit a jumper from the right corner with less than 14 minutes to play.
"This was a game where we just weren't clicking offensively," freshman forward Julian Wright said. "We knew had to find a way."
Robinson. Although Robinson made only 1-of-8 attempts, his one made basket was pivotal. Robinson made a three-pointer that put the Jayhawks up 43-42. Kansas held onto the lead for the remainder of the game.
Kansas found a way to win, much to the credit of sophomore guard Russell
"We shouldn't look at percentages," Self said. "We should look at when he makes shots, because he makes big shots and that was the biggest shot of the game."
Freshman guard Mario Chalmers, who scored a team-high 13 points, said Robinson's shot energized Kansas.
Kansas made an effort to get the ball inside after that point, especially to sophomore forward Sasha Kaun, who banked in a key left handed hook shot that extended the Kansas lead to seven. Wright solidified the victory with behind-the-back passes that resulted in easy buckets.
The lack of offensive continuity during the first half was mirrored by the game clock, which malfunctioned on three separate occasions.
Despite the offensive struggles, four Jayhawks reached double figures in a balanced scoring output.
"We knew sooner or later we were going to figure it out," Robinson said. "We did that late in the second half when we started to attack the basket."
"I love playing with Julian," Kaun said "He has such a great feel of when to pass where to pass. He sees really well."
The victory was Kansas' eighth straight, coming in its first game since breaking into the national rankings at No. 22. Kansas improved to 5-1 on the road.

Younger Sutton replaces his father
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SEALED SPORTWRITERS
Even though Kansas left Stillwater, Okla., with a hard-earned victory, Kansas coach Bill Self was still disappointed after the game.
sh scored ei
Self, who played and coached at Oklahoma State, had looked forward to coaching against his mentor, Eddie Sutton.
Sutton was absent from the Oklahoma State bench after announcing Monday that he was taking a medical leave from the team for the remainder of the season.
"It wasn't very enjoyable," Self said. "I wanted to compete against Coach. I wanted to play against his team. I wanted to show my mentor what we do. That's something I am proud of. I hope the entire situation is handled as well as it possibly can be handled."
Sutton missed Oklahoma State's last game against Texas A&M Saturday because he was in a car accident a day earlier on the way to meet the team for the plane ride.
Sutton's son, Sean, took his dad's place on the sideline for the Kansas game and will continue to be the coach for the remainder of the season.
It was reported Monday that Sutton was given a citation for driving under the influence at the time of the accident.
Sean Sutton thanked Oklahoma State fans after the game for their support after his dad's accident and said he thought this could make his team stronger as the season moved forward.
"When adversity happens, you grow up as a person," Sean Sutton said. "It's not fair to the kids, but life isn't fair. We talked before the
Oklahoma State Coach Sean Sutton yells instructions to his players early in the first half. Sutton will replace his father, Eddie Sutton, as head coach for the remainder of the season.
Rylan Howe/KANSAN
The younger Sutton was named the head coach designate before the season began. It was expected his dad would retire in the next couple of years. Now, it is unclear whether the legendary coach will ever return to the sidelines again. Eddie Sutton has been a head coach for 35 years, including 15 years at Oklahoma State.
game about keeping a positive mind. I think we did that. We played with a lot of heart and energy tonight."
Ryan Howe/KANSAM sight of his 12 points in the second
Sutton told Oklahoma State officials that he was considering taking a leave of absence after his team's victory at Kansas State last week because of severe back pain.
Rylan Howe/KANSAN
He amassed 794 total Division I victories, which ranks fifth all-time. He has also had a number of successful coaches start their career learning from him, himself Self, who served as an assistant under Sutton from 1987 to 1993.
Sean Sutton said after the game that his dad had been in a lot of pain during the past two years and that it had been a constant battle for his dad to feel healthy. He said he was hopeful that his dad would start feeling better now that he had more time to heel.
Self said after the game that he talked to Eddie Sutton Monday morning, and Sutton said he was still in a lot of pain.
"I think the quote he used was he feels like he got in a fight with Ali and lost," Self said.
SCHNAPP
"It's been a hard 72 hours, that's for sure," Sean Sutton said. "I'm going to hang in there, and I know the players are too."
Sean Sutton and Oklahoma State will return to the court Sunday against Texas.

BIG 12 BASEBALL
And they're off, with Texas down
BY SHAWN SHROYER
sshroyer@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
With the Kansas baseball team winning its first two series of the season, here's a look at what's happening in the rest of the Big 12 Conference.
Longhorns fall victim to the broom
The biggest news after two weekends of baseball is the shake-up aton the conference.
In their first series of the season, the No. 1 ranked Texas Longhorns were swept by San Diego. Baseball America voters took notice, dropping them to No. 7 and moving previously unranked San Diego up to No. 18.
The longshots aren't the deending national champions for nothing, though.
Texas went on a three-game winning streak, including a victory against No. 5 Rice in the Houston College Classic.
Kansas will face Texas this season in Austin for a three-game series beginning May 5.
Another Big 12 baseball power struggles
Texas wasn't the only team struggling to start the baseball season. No. 10 Missouri split four games in the Charleston Southern Tournament, a tournament in which the Tigers had the strongest team on paper. Missouri lost its season opener to East Tennessee State, won its next two games against Charleston Southern and Kennesaw State and dropped the finale to Washington State. 9-3.
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
Kansas won't see Missouri until March 31, when the team play a three-game series at Hogland Ballpark.
QU
Oklahoma traveled to Edinburg, Texas, for the University of Texas-Pan American Baseball Classic and won its first two games, but was trounced 21-9 in its final game by the winless Lamar Cardinal. The Sooners had to settle for a tie with Texas-
Sooners up and down
Pan American for tournament runner-up. Oklahoma swept Western Illinois in its next series, outsourcing the Leathermen 36-5 in three games.
Leadersckets 30-5 in three games.
The Jayhawks play the Sooners at Hoglund Ballpark on April 28.
Arkansas no-hits Oklahoma State
Oklahoma State began its season in exciting fashion, winning 17-13 against South Alabama in a 10-inning slugfest at Stanky Field in the Jaguar Invitational.
BIG 12 BASEBALL STANDINGS
There has not been a conference game played in the Big 12 yet, but here's a look at how the teams have started their seasons.
KU
Baylor 3-0-0
Texas A&M 3-0-0
Oklahoma 5-1-0
Kansas 6-2-0

SATE
Oklahoma State's bats didn't stay hot for long. The Cowboys were no-hit for the first time in program history the next day by No. 20 Arkansas in a 3-0 loss. Oklahoma State managed to end the tournament on a high note with an 11-1 victory against George Mason.
Kansas will travel to Stillwater, Okla., to face Oklahoma State in a three-game series April 14.
Tech winless in tournament
T
Texas Tech started its season with a three-game sweep of Louisiana-Monroe. The Red Raiders then hit a rough stretch of games the next weekend in the Houston College Classic. They went winless in the tournament, falling to Rice, Tulane and Houston.
Big 12 Roundup
BU
A pair of sweeps last weekend — Baylor over Stephen F. Austin and Texas A&M over Northwestern State — rounded out the action in the Big 12. Nebraska and Kansas State are the only Big 12 teams still awaiting the first pitch of their seasons.

Connecticut's Rudy Gay, left, walks off the court as Villanova fans celebrate Monday after their college basketball game in Philadelphia. Gary had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Huskies, but No. 4 Villanova upset No. 1 Connecticut, 69-64. Villanova moved into first place in the Big East with the victory.

Mosley did not come to Kansas as a point guard but as a shooting guard.
Her specialties have been penetration and creating shots, something that she found difficult to do against Big 12 competition.
"I think she's still trying to
find her niche." Henrickson said before the suspension. "It's just got to be one day at a time, trying to work and fight and get better."
This is not the first time a Kansas player has been suspended this season.
Senior guard Erica Hallman missed two early season games for failing to meet team academic standards. Academics was reportedly not a factor in the Mossev suspension.

PHILADELPHIA -- Villanoa
used the 3 to beat No. 1.
The fourth-ranked Wildcats went 7-for-9 from 3-point range in the second half and beat top-ranked Connecticut 69-64 Monday night, their first victory over a top-ranked team in 10 years.
Ray finished with 25 points, Kyle Lowry added 18 and center Will Sheridan matched his career high with 13 points and had 10 rebounds.
Allan Ray had five 3-pointers in a 22-4 run that gave Villanova (20-2, 10-1 Big East) the lead for good in its ninth straight victory. The Wildcats, who forced the Huskies into 17 turnovers, also got a boost from an unexpected source on offense.
Rudy Gay had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Huskies (22-2, 9-2), who had an 11-game winning streak snapped and dropped to 7-1 against ranked teams this season.
It seemed most of the 20,859 at the Wachovia Center, the largest crowd to watch a college basketball game in Pennsylvania history, stormed the court to celebrate the Wildcats' first win over a No.1 team since Feb.18, 1995, when they beat Connecticut.
Kansas will next take the court Wednesday night against
Nebraska. The game tips off at 7 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Family fought for home
Amanda Sellers/KANSAN
THE NEW YORKER
Robert Sanders, retired professor emeritus of biology, looks at old family pictures Monday night. In the albums are a few snapshots of the first house his family struggled to obtain possession of in Lawrence. Sanders faced such troubles because of racial discrimination.
BY ANNE WELTMER
aweltmerekansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Robert and Gladys Sanders wrote a full-price offer to buy their first house, but they were refused by the house builder because they are black.
But the Sanders were determined. They knew a lawsuit would take too long and they could lose the house, so they went about it in a different way.
Greenberg made an appointment to see the same house the following evening. The house, 809 W. 29th St., was brand new and in Lawrence's newest neighborhood: Indian Hills. It would be a great place to raise a family because Broken Arrow Elementary was scheduled to be built soon after.
The next night Robert and Gladys Sanders arrived, looked at the property carefully and handed the realtor a down payment to purchase the home they had been hoping for. They quiet-
That's when they had a white neighbor at Sunflower Apartments at the University of Kansas call to make an appointment with another realtor. Gladys said people could tell a black voice on the phone, so neighbor Gwen Greenberg helped out.
"It was illegal for realtors to deny them," Greenberg said. "I just forced the law. Nothing spectacular."
if she knew the contract that might. "We looked at the house as if we'd never seen it before." Gladys said.
ly signed the contract that night.
That's essentially how the Sanders family became the first to desegregate a whites-only neighborhood in Lawrence in 1968.
It wasn't quite that simple, however. The first time the Sanders' saw the house was just days earlier with their realtor, Glen Kappelman. After they made an offer, the builder, Russ Jones, refused.
The Sanders thought the seemingly friendly white neighbor they'd spoken to while looking at the house the first time had been spying for the builder.
SEE SANDERS ON PAGE 5A
Kappelman called the Sanders' in the morning and said the builder had refused their offer.
That's when the Sanders' called a lawyer. Covenant for Indian Hills purchasers said that no black family could move in. But in 1968, Lawrence passed a fair housing ordinance to desegregate the city; it just wasn't being enforced.
On the Sanders' second try, after the contract was presented to Jones, he tried to refuse it again, but it was already too far along. He said the deal was fraudulent because Greenberg had called instead to make the appointment.

LaTonia Coleman, whose husband was killed in the shooting near the Granada early Sunday, Feb. 5, said, "We looked at Lawrence as a place where we could raise our son because we felt safe here."
The Lawrence City Commission passed an ordinance Tuesday's that weapons cannot be taken within 200 feet of a drinking establishment, which redefined the current city code.
"Protection has to be upgraded," she said.
Now that ordinance number 7976 has been adopted, section 14-408 of the Code of the City of Lawrence states: "Close proximity,' means property any part of which is within 200 feet, except that if any portion of the contiguous area of a park, unimproved lot, parking garage or parking lot is within 200 feet then the entire contiguous area of the parking lot or parking garage is within close proximity."
People with encased firearms in their vehicles driving by a drinking establishment on the way to another destination would not be subject to prosecution.
According to the memorandum sent by Lawrence staff attorney Scott Miller in January 2006, the Lawrence Police Department asked the
city commission to review the ordinance because it was not specific. The unclear terms included "close proximity" and "dangerous weapon."
The memorandum stated that a number of handguns had been observed near drinking establishments in the downtown area and revision needed to be looked at immediately.
A person going into a bar can carry a folding pocketknife if the blade is no longer than four inches and establishments can keep knives for dining purposes, according to the revised section. Other terms such as "drinking establishment" and "possession" also were more clearly defined.
Miller said this policy applied to restaurants and any other establishment with a liquor license.
"I think it's helpful to clarify this ordinance." Mayor Dennis Highberger said. "I hope the ordinance will discourage people from showing up at Lawrence bars with loaded weapons."
Commissioner David Schauer said the memorandum was discussed in January, but the recent Granada shooting proved its relevance.
At the meeting, all of the residents and commissioners who spoke expressed that this was not sufficient to controlling the problem and agreed that further discussion should be given to the topic in future meetings.

GTAs rally for new contract
BY RACHEL PARKER
rparker@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition rallied yesterday in front of Strong Hall to pressure the University to negotiate a new contract.
Members of the coalition used megaphones, drums and signs with phrases like "We take education seriously, do you?" to attract the attention of those on
campus.
Others were handing out flyers in front of Wescoe Hall including information about the coalition.
The participating GTAC members wore T-shirts with individual letters and numbers that read "10 semester limit," and lined up holding hands on the Strong Hall lawn to play a game of Red Rover. People were asked to put on a GTAC T-shirt and try and break the line.
Brian Azcona, co-president of
the coalition, played the part of a KU Bureaucrat, wearing a tie and jacket, a briefcase and a pig mask trying to stop the GTAs from breaking the line.
"We aren't just being funny," Azcona said. "We're setting an example for the undergraduates."
Since the previous contract expired last spring, GTAs are pressing for higher salaries, more benefits such as health care and the removal of the limit of semesters they are allowed to teach.
They also want the University to educate new GTAs about their contracts with the University and make them aware of the coalition.
The GTAC wants the University to schedule more meetings on school days so they can negotiate a new contract. There were numerous fall meetings and one article was agreed on, but there were only three meetings scheduled for this semester.

Charity remembers student
MEMORIAI

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The ceremonial ribbon is cut for the new Ronald McDonald House on Cherry Street in Kansas City, Mo.
The Kansas City Ronald McDonald House Charities paid tribute to former volunteer and resident Nicole Bingham Tuesday morning. The organization honored the former KU student who died in October in the Boardwalk Apartments fire by dedicating one its rooms in her memory.
Bingham's friends and family members gathered at the opening ceremonies of the newest Ronald McDonald House at 25th and Cherry Streets, near Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.
Nicole's mother, Nancy Bingham, said her daughter cherished the volunteer work she did for the charity with her sorority, Alpha Delta Pi, 1600 Oxford Road.
Nicole began volunteering in part because she wanted to make the guests' experiences as enjoyable as her own. In the summer of 1999, she and her mother had a brief stay in a Ronald McDonald House after Nicole's heart surgery.
"The people at the Ronald McDonald House were always there for us," Bingham said.
The new house is already accommodating its first guests. Jeff and Chris De Voss, both KU graduates, will be staying in a suite with their 7-year-old son, Nicholas, while he prepares for a bone marrow transplant.
Nicholas, who suffers from a genetic disorder called cerebral
adrenoleukodystrophy, began his first day of chemotherapy today in preparation for surgery. Jeff said he was doing well and they had been busy with puzzles and video games.
"It really provides a home away from home," Jeff said.
The new house is composed
The house provides a haven where families like the De Voss' can maintain comfortable routines during their stressful time, said Anne Jerome, executive of Kansas City Ronald McDonald

Choir to bring African beats to the Lied
BY DEJUAN ATWAY
datway@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Still near the beginning of its exhaustive 44 city North America tour, the critically acclaimed Soweto Gospel Choir will make its first trip to Lawrence.
The South African-based choir will perform tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Lied Center. The 26 member choir has performed all over the world in the last year and a half, including a concert in New York that was sold out for more than six months.
The group's first album, "Voices from Heaven," which was released last year, reached number one on the Billboard World Music chart in the United States. In January the choir released its second album, "Blessed."
The members dress in traditional African garb and mix their vocal performances with energetic dance numbers and conventional African musical instruments. They also perform songs in six of South Africa's eleven official languages.
The choir has performed for former South African President Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. In November, the group performed with Diana Ross and Christina Aguilera to raise money for the fight against hunger.
The group also participates in other philanthropic efforts
across the world. For instance, it helped raise over $200,000 to help Nkosi's Haven, a South African-based orphanage for AIDS infected mothers and children, to provide food, clothing and other basic necessities.
Kimberly Mouser, assistant director of the University of Missouri Concert Series, said the Soweto Gospel choir performed in Columbia Monday night and had attracted an animated audience.
"The concert was packed. They had the audience clapping, dancing and really into the performance," she said. "I thought it was absolutely wonderful."
The Lied Center has presented African gospel performers before, including Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Tim Van Leer, executive director of the Lied Center, said the Soweto Gospel choir offered an opportunity to keep bringing in rich music and play host to a diverse group of entertainers from Africa.
"I saw them at the University of Iowa, and they were outstanding. The way they blend their voices and how well the artists communicate with the audience," Van Leer said. "It was truly a joy to hear them sing."
Ticket prices range from $11.50 for students and children to $28 for the general public.

Wilt Chamberlain, standing at 7-feet-1-inch, will be the subject of Aram Goudzaujour's speech tonight at 7 p.m. in Ellsworth Hall. Chamberlain was a member of the KU men's basketball team from 1958 to 1968 and still holds KU career records for rebounds and points on average.

KANSAN STAMP WRITER
Even after his death in 1999, Wilt Chamberlain's massive 7-foot-1 frame casts a large shadow on the history of Lawrence. The legendary basketball figure will be the subject of a speech at 7 p.m. tonight in Ellsworth Hall.
Aram Goudsouzian, University of Memphis history professor, will give a lecture about Chamberlain's role in the desegregation of Lawrence as well as the political impact African-Americans have had in motion pictures and sports.
"He was the most preeminent black person in Kansas during his KU tenure," Goudsouzian said. "He was something of a transitional figure, a black celebrity, who in this context transcended race."
Chamberlain was a member of the KU basketball team from 1955 to 1958 and still holds KU career records for most rebounds and points per game averages. As a sophomore, he led the University to the national championship game in 1957 before losing in triple overtime to North Carolina, 54-53. Chamberlain left after his junior year to sign a lucrative contract from the Harlem Globetrotters.
Chamberlain opened the eyes of Lawrence citizens toward the ugly realities that Jim Crow laws represented, said Bill Tuttle, professor of American studies. But he never publicly challenged the de facto segregation that existed in the city.
Goudsouzian also will discuss the colossal expectations heaped on Chamberlain, and how many KU fans felt his time in Lawrence was a disappointment.
Goudsouzian said he had initially intended to write a novel about the legendary rivalry between Chamberlain and Boston Celtics great Bill Russell.
"He did have a lot to do with desegregating restaurants and barbershops in Lawrence," he said. "But he chose his
"He forced the broader public to consider him as an individual, as a man with pride, faults and idiosyncrasies and enormous charm," Goudsouzian said. "Chamberlain was something of a campus celebrity from the moment he arrived in Kansas in the fall of 1955."
battles wisely because he never confronted the fraternity and sorority systems, which to this day are essentially still segregated."
Andrew Mohr, Overland Park junior and history major, said he planned to attend the lecture because of the important social change that was ushered in shortly after Chamberlain departed from Lawrence.
but he discovered a treasure trove of material about Chamberlain during his research.
"He is still considered the most dominant player ever to play at KU and lived a fascinating life," Mohr said. "I would love to know more about his personal life."

BY LYNN BREZOSKY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - The hunting accident that produced a raft of Dick Cheney jokes and was briefly a source of merriment at the White House took a more serious turn Tuesday.
Harry Whittington, the 78-year-old lawyer shot by Cheney, suffered a mild heart attack after a shotgun pellet in his chest traveled to his heart, hospital officials said.
Whittington was immediately moved back to the intensive care unit and will be watched for a week to make sure more of the metal pellets do not move to other vital organs. He was reported in stable condition.
Just hours earlier, the chief White House spokesman joked that the burnt orange school colors of the visiting University of Texas championship football team should not be confused
for hunters' safety gear.
"The orange that they're wearing is not because they're concerned that the vice president may be there," said White House press secretary Scott McClellan. "That's why I'm wearing it."
Whittington suffered a "silent heart attack" — obstructed blood flow, but without the classic heart-attack symptoms of pain and pressure, according to doctors at Christus Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi-Memorial.
The doctors said they decided to treat the situation conservatively and leave the pellet alone rather than operate to remove it. They said they are extremely optimistic Whittington will recover and live a healthy life with the pellet left in place.
Asked whether the pellet could move farther into his heart and become fatal, hospital officials said that was a hypothetical question they could not answer.
concerned about the six to 200 other pieces of birdshot that might still be lodged in Whittington's body. Cheney was using 7 1/2 shot from a 28-gauge shotgun. Shotgun pellets are typically made of steel or lead; the pellets in a 7 1/2 shot are just under a tenth of an inch in diameter.
Hospital officials said they were not
Cheney watched the news conference where doctors described Whittington's complications. Then the vice president called him, wished him well and asked if there was anything that he needed.
"The vice president said that he stood ready to assist. Mr. Whittington's spirits were good, but obviously his situation deserves the careful monitoring that his doctors are providing," the vice president's office said in a statement.
Cheney, an experienced hunter, has not spoken publicly about the accident, which took place Saturday night while the vice president was aiming
for a quail. Critics of the Bush administration called for more answers from Cheney himself.
The furor over the accident and the White House delay in making it public are "part of the secretive nature of this administration," said Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. "I think it's time the American people heard from the vice president."
Whittington has said through hospital officials that he did not want to comment on the shooting. A young man at Whittington's Austin home who identified himself as his grandson said Tuesday he did not have time to talk to a reporter and closed the door.
Before hospital officials announced details of Whittington's condition, the hunting accident had produced lots of Cheney jokes on late-night television.
"I think Cheney is starting to lose it," Jay Leno said. "After he shot the guy he screamed, 'Anyone else want to call domestic wiretapping illegal!'!"

MULTICULTURALISM
Program gives sophomores reason to stay
BY ANNE WELTMER
aweltmer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFE WRITER
A new program has found a way to make sure sophomores don't end up just another face in the crowd or drop out of school altogether.
The Transitions program through the Office of Multicultural Affairs has helped boost the retention rate of students for the HAWK Link and Transitions programs to a record 88 percent.
Transitions, which started Fall 2005 provides academic
support for sophomores. It targets minority students, but is open to anyone. The program is similar to HAWK Link, the academic support and retention program for freshmen.
Transitions has 30 sophomore participants. HAWK Link, in its sixth year, has about 300 students.
Juan Izaguirre, assistant director of the OMA and HAWK Link director, said students were lost in the system. He said freshmen got support from HAWK Link, then return as sophomores and had nothing to help them
get back on track.
"I got so much help with scholarships," said Christopher Reine, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, Transitions participant and former HAWK Link student. "It kinda got me to come back."
Aida Garcia, Transitions director, said the program has many activities at seminars that take place about once every month. Activities include meeting with prominent student leaders like student body president Nick Sterner, advanced academic advising and meetings with HAWK Link students.
Garcia stressed the importance of the relationship between HAWK Link students and Transitions students. She said the sophomores are valuable mentors. She said the groups meet occasionally to play games and hang out.
Izaguirre said that previously the OMA focused almost exclusively on freshmen and seniors. Seniors met with staff about graduation checks and career counseling, and freshman were taught how to navigate campus.

BUSINESS
Enron executive takes stand calls operations 'goofy'
BY KRISTEN HAYS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON - A top trader who enjoyed a place in the inner circle of Jeffrey Skilling, former Enron Corp. chief, testified Tuesday that a partnership set up to help the company meet its earnings targets looked odd to him.
"It looked goofy to me," Kenneth Rice said of a partnership run by Andrew Fastow, former Enron chief financial officer, that existed almost exclusively to conduct transactions with the parent company.
Rice was the former head of the company's highly touted broadband unit that never lived up to its hype and crashed along with the parent into bankruptcy proceedings in December 2001.
He took the stand Tuesday as the government's second witness in the fraud and conspiracy trial of Enron founder Kenneth Lay and former Chief Executive Officer Skilling. His follows seven days of testimony from Enron's former investor-relations chief, Mark Koenig.
Rice appeared comfortable, though his eyes remained focused on jurors or prosecutor Sean Berkowitz rather than the defendants. Skilling watched him intently, while Lay took notes.
He described Skilling as a hands-on boss, who saw broadband as an important venture that could help increase Enron's stock price.
With that in mind, Rice said the broadband unit struggled throughout 2000 to contain losses and show progress in gaining market share after he, Skilling and others unveiled it with a flourish at an analyst conference in January that year. The unit often met earnings targets by selling inoperative fiber-optic cable or an interest in future revenue from a video-on-demand venture that later flopped.
Some of those deals were done with LJM, the Fastow-led partnership that helped Enron meet earnings targets.
Rice said he asked Skilling whether it was proper for a partnership run by Enron's CFO to do deals with Enron. He said Skilling explained that LJM could do transactions fast and that he thought "it was an important thing for Enron to do."
Though Rice called the setup "goofy," his unit turned to LJM to meet earnings targets.
Rice, Fastow and Koenig are among 16 ex-Enron executives who have pleaded guilty and are cooperating with prosecutors in hopes of receiving lenient punishments. Fastow is expected to be a key prosecution witness.
Koenig, who was Enron's chief liaison with Wall Street, described strictly work relationships with his former bosses. Rice and Skilling were friends as well, but have yet to face off in a courtroom.

"Most people were not comfortable with anyone that was different from them," Greenberg said. "What Bob and Gladys did, it was hard. It was a really, really rough time in Lawrence. There were still a lot of problems between the two communities."
Petey Cerl, another Lawrence resident, donated the money to pay for the Sanders' lawyer, James W. Paddock, now a retired District Court Judge for Douglas County
"My mother was vigorously opposed to segregation, but I guess that's news to no one," said William Dann. Cerrs son.
Paddock said the restrictive covenant for Indian Hills conflicted with the new fair housing ordinance for the city.
"This is why the builder was reluctant." Paddock said. He said the builder was afraid of offending the other residents of the neighborhood.
"I didn't want to sell them the house," he said.
The builder, Russ Jones, said he didn't remember racial restrictions in the covenants of Indian Hills.
He said he had built a lot of homes in the neighborhood and felt like he "owed it to his previous customers" to refuse the sale.
"It was a period of racial tension," Jones said.
Because it was sold through the realtor, Jones said, any legal problems came from the realtor, but he didn't remember any.
The case never went to trial
Paddock said he called the realtor and told him he couldn't keep the Sanders' from buying the house, and that it was against the law in Lawrence to discriminate based on race, even if a white woman had called for their appointment and misled the realtor. He then wrote a letter to the builder, and eventually the case was dropped.
The Sanders' moved into the home in June of 1968. Gladys said the next door neighbor, who she suspected of informing the builder that the Sanders were black, never spoke to them the ten years they lived there.
"He was retired military, so I was surprised he was so racist," she said.
The military had been integrated since the Korean War.
Gladys said when her daughter, Sylvia, and son, William, would ask why the neighbor wouldn't talk to them, she would have to say he just wasn't nice and that they weren't bad children.
She said he had pretended they didn't exist, even when her children would say "hi." The neighbor's wife and son would speak to them, but only if he weren't around.
They've moved three times since then. Now they live in a bigger, newer home in west Lawrence, a significant improvement from the Sunflower Apartments and their first home in Indian Hills. This time, thanks to their previous efforts, they had no trouble purchasing the home they wanted.

Rally
The University has offered six meeting dates for the spring, but the GTAC doesn't want to meet during those times. Lynn Bretz, University spokeswoman, said the coalition had declined to meet over winter break and spring break, a time when the GTAs are still being paid.
The previous contract expired last spring, and the coalition declined to meet over the summer to negotiate a salary increase, which is when the University plans its next year's budget, Bretz tax. GTAs have received
a 10 percent increase in their salaries each year for the past three years.
Arizona said the proposed consecutive meeting dates over spring break would do nothing because time is needed between meetings for research and communication. GTAs also have conferences that week, he said.
This is the third GTAC rally since last spring. The coalition will continue to operate under the previous contract through the Kansas Association of Public Employees until a new one is negotiated.

If the ordinance was violated, the person would be expected to pay a fine of no more than $2,500, spend one year in jail or both. It is equivalent to a class A misdemeanor under Kansas law and is the penalty established by K.S. A. 21-4201 for criminal use of weapons, according to the ordinance.

Guard helps six inmates escape
CRIME
BY TARA BURGHART
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — A Cook County jail guard told investigators he helped six inmates escape over the weekend in an attempt to influence the election for sheriff, newspapers reported Tuesday.
The guard said he was trying to embarrass outgoing county Sheriff Michael Sheahan and his chief of staff, Tom Dart, who is running for sheriff, The Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune reported, citing unidentified law enforcement sources.
Representatives for the sheriff's office, which controls the jail, did not immediately return calls Tuesday from The Associated Press.
No charges had been filed in the jailbreak as of midday Tuesday. All six inmates have been captured.
Also Tuesday, the Police Department said officers received a tip about an escape plot at the jail hours before the breakout.
and that someone involved in that case "had knowledge ... of what was going to occur," police spokeswoman Monique Bond
said. Officers followed proper procedure and reported the tip to sheriff's office, she said.
The sheriff's office did not return calls.
The guard initially said he had been overpowered by the inmates at the understaffed jail. But according to the reports, he changed his story and said he was trying to boost the campaign of Richard Remus, who is seeking for the Democratic nomination for sheriff.
Remus dismissed that theory. "An officer is going to sacrifice his life or family for political gain for somebody else? It's beyond my understanding of human nature — I can't see it." Remus said. "This sounds like Cook County politics at its finest."
Remus said he once was the guard's supervisor at the jail, but is not the man's friend.
The jailbreak was the third at the Cook County Jail in the past 10 months. No inmates had escaped in the previous decade.
It was at least the second time in recent months that the question of staff complicity has been raised.

Iran resumes use of uranium
BY ALI AKBAR DAREINI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran has resumed small-scale enrichment of uranium, a senior Iranian nuclear negotiator said Tuesday — a defiant declaration in the face of global opposition to Iran's atomic program.
The resumption still leaves Iran a long way from reaching the stage the world fears most: large-scale enrichment of uranium — a process that can produce fuel for an atomic bomb.
Javad Vaeidi, deputy secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, in announcing the small-scale enrichment, also told reporters that Iran would resume negotiations with Moscow on Feb. 20 over its plan to enrich Iranian uranium on Russian soil — a proposal designed to allay fears that Iran will build nuclear weapons.
"The talks with Russia remain valid," Vaeidi said, adding that an Iranian delegation would go to Moscow.
The negotiations with Russia had been due to resume Thursday, but Iran said Monday they were postponed indefinitely.
Vaeidi gave no indication whether Iran was looking more favorably at the plan now that international pressure over its nuclear program was increasing. Iran has repeatedly said the Russian plan can be complementary to Iran's nuclear program but that Tehran would not accept any requirement to scrap uranium enrichment in Natanz.
Vaeidi said enrichment of uranium resumed last week at Natanz, the country's main enrichment plant, but that Iran had not resumed large-scale enrichment, as required for producing fuel for nuclear reactors.
In Israel, Yuval Steinitz, chairman of the Knesset's defense and
foreign affairs committee, said Tuesday's announcement from Iran made it clear that "time is running out."
"If the Iranians will not be blocked, in due course they will obtain a nuclear weapon," he told The Associated Press. "This will be a devastating threat not only to Israel and the Middle East but also to Europe and the United States."
Later Tuesday, Vice President Gholamreza Aghazadeh said resumption of uranium enrichment work was very limited.
"It can't be used even at semi-industrial level. It's only on the laboratory stage for analyzing research activities. This sort of enrichment cannot be used (for producing nuclear fuel)," he said.
According to authoritative reports, Iran had 164 centrifuges in Natanz sealed by the IAEA in 2003. The seals were removed last month when Iran resumed nuclear research. And Iranian officials have indicated that Iran may possess up to 2,000 centrifuges.
For a large-scale enrichment of uranium, Iran has to build up to 60,000 centrifuges
Top Iranian officials have confirmed in the past that the Iranian military had built nuclear centrifuges for civilian use and that Iran was capable of mass producing them.
The world has long sought to stop Iran from enriching uranium, fearing that the process would bring it to the threshold of possessing nuclear bombs. On Feb. 4, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported Iran to the U.N. Security Council and called on its government to suspend all enrichment-related activities.
Instead, Iran suspended certain aspects of its co-operation with the IAEA.

OUR OPINION
Consider students; stop the bickering
Once again, the Graduate Teaching Assistant Coalition and the University of Kansas administration are debating the specifics of contracts with the University. Both sides have their own ways of hampering discussions, ranging from inflexible scheduling and agendas to demonstrations of discontent.
It just wouldn't be the spring semester without graduate teaching assistant contract negotiations.
The ire that accompanies these negotiations does nothing for progress or for students at the University. The last negotiations lasted 22 months, during which GTAs and administration officials seemed more concerned with smiting the other party than coming to a fair compromise.
Both parties need to realize that they have to work together. GTAs have a right to fair pay and treatment. The University administration needs to stop considering the GTAC as a vengeful enemy and view it more as a business partner. The coalition is only looking out for its members' interests, just as the administration is looking out for the University's interests.
GTAs need to remember why they are getting paid. If a GTA is more concerned about

his work benefits through the University than planning an effective lesson or leaving time to work with students, their pupils are the ones who will suffer. Such a situation could also lend to University officials perceiving that GTAs have not completing their ends of the bargain when it comes to a contract.
What both parties should consider is how their negotiations will affect students. How will allowing or not allowing GTAs to teach more than 10 semesters affect teaching? How would a possible salary raise affect teaching? The classroom should be the primary interest, not any one group's prestige or pocketbook.

Choose quality over quantity for best results
Standing in the wake of another Valentine's Day, I am reminded of a promise I made to myself at the start of this year. My resolution of sorts was all about quality over quantity because I vowed to love better than to love much.
After suffering constant media bombardments with the Nick and Jessica and Brad and Jen debacles, I found myself becoming more and more cynical about the ease with which my peers and celebrities entered into and ran out of relationships. Those around me, including myself, find it so easy to throw caution to the wind and welcome a variety of fleeting romances into our lives. I made my pact in hopes of discovering whether healthy, monogamous relationships could survive and flourish in this post-modern age that encourages sheer quantity over quality.
Perhaps my personal New Year's pact was the result of some unconscious evaluation of a deep-seeded need to find comfort depth and happiness in just one person. Maybe it is some sort of quarter-life crisis, the inner ticking of a clock that reminds me that I am one year closer to the "real world," complete with a job, a family and a picket fence. But what I really think prompted my resolution was a sense of maturity. Just as I am one year closer to the real world, I am also a year older and a year wiser. My tastes, desires and opinions have changed and I have found that it is no longer how many people I open up to, but who and when.
▼ COMMENTARY
On my quest, I elicited the insight of the notorious Dennis
- Hagen is a Council Bluffs, Iowa, junior in journalism and film.
Yet it is nice to know that if and when the time comes for the most important and meaningful relationship of my life, I will be ready to accept it and relish it. I know that day will be long time coming. For now I will focus on the here and now and if I can do that by sometimes putting a little more effort into those I let close, then I know I am one step closer to loving better.

I quickly discovered that Dailey and I both agreed that experiencing different relationships and people was an important part of discovering the sort of person I wanted to end up with in the future. Ironically, and perhaps not so efficiently, it took opening myself up to different things to discover exactly what I didn't want.

Dailey, professor emeritus. I sat down one afternoon to pick Dailey's brain about monogamy and intimate relationships.
reach the finish line? Can we live and love in a world that doesn't expect this kind of behavior from everyone? Perhaps this kind of world provoked my resolution to learn how to experience a smarter, greater kind of love instead of relationship after relationship.
COURTNEY HAGEN
While Dailey said dating around was important in establishing ideas and needs, he also listed the benefits of a committed, monogamous relationship: Emotional and physical stability, freedom from feelings of betrayal and sexual comfort. These things are all great if — and only if — you are with the right person at the right time. But what happens when that sense of stability or desire changes? What happens when what was right at the time isn't right anymore?
All too often our society seems to expect marriage as a result of a committed, monogamous relationship. But what happens when that union is entered into too quickly? What does it say about our world when our celebrities are running into and out of marriages and engagements with as much ease as Olympic triathletes
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Ironically, I am horrified that I can't handle and am not ready for this kind of a love. Dailey reminded me that many relationships at this young stage in life are still somewhat superficial. Don't get me wrong. I think I might be up to the challenge, but at the same time I know that resolutions are usually made to be broken. With Daily's reminder echoing in my mind, I know that am still young and I am still growing. I understand that I can comfortably get away with running in and out of relationships for at least a few more years. The thought of being with only one person for the rest of my life still petrifies me, and I guess that is a sign that my resolution is still merely a goal and not yet a motto by which to live and die.
I am writing this letter to clarify some misconceptions that may have materialized with regard to disability issues on campus. First, the KU On Wheels lift van takes students to campus events and meetings in addition to classes. AbleHawks appreciates efforts made to expand this service during the last year and hopes it continues. I should also add that no AbleHawks member currently serves on the Transportation Board; although we do hope to

The University Daily Kansan's coverage on disability leaves something to be desired as well. The editorial board's recognition of the lift van service's disadvantages is welcome; however the used of the outdated term "handicapped" to describe students with disabilities is troubling. This term is offensive to the disability community because of the inferior status and attitude of pity it connotes toward people with disabilities. Check
work with this entity.

It's commendable that that the Kansan notes the importance of accessibility for all campus members. In the future, I hope to see more coverage along with a better representation of the intricacies inherent in this issue.

It was 2 a.m. and I still could not sleep. Maybe a snack and something to drink would help. I put my feet on the ground, and to my surprise there was something very cold and very wet on the floor. I came to the conclusion that one of my roommates must have spilled God knows what. I used a towel to cover the spot, got my snack, and went back to bed. After all, I had to be at work in six hours.
Only six months ago, I was a first-time renter, but in that time I've dealt with my management company so often that they should have been paying me. I decided that I should get some tips.
Over the next couple of days, it became obvious that I was hasty in blaming my friends. No number of towels could induce the spot to leave my floor. After two weeks of this nonsense I called my landlord and reported the problem. Over the next six months, the spot on my floor grew and despite weekly calls, my management company did little to fix the problem. The dilemma became so obscene that mold grew in the crevice where the carpet meets the wall.
Don't let the possibility of a minor problem drive you away from renting or leasing a home. It can be a great experience which can teach students several things about life and living with other people. Hulse said, "Most tenants and landlords do a great job." So don't worry about having problems. But if you run into them, you should know how to take care of them.
Tim Shaffel, professor of accounting, said, "There's no agreement in the world that will resolve the issues. A good company with solid management will do the right thing."
This advice leads to an important step for students looking into rent a home. Look into your future landlords. Talk to the current tenants of the home you are looking to rent.
Shaftel said, "If you move into a place that looks like a rat hole, it got that way somehow."
COMMENTARY
If a management company has done little or nothing to get a home ready before you move in, how are they going to respond to the problems that occur during your tenancy?
Rob Hulse, president of the Lawrence Board of Realty advises first-time renters to ask for references from a landlord and check them. If your prospective landlord cannot give you a short list of people who would say good things about them, what does that say about the landlord?
Both Shafat and Hulse said you should read a document before you sign it. Though most of us have heard this several times, it needs to be reiterated. I can say that I did not read my lease in depth before I signed it.

Andy Chester, St. Louis junior, and Brian Isham, Wichita junior, joke about the simplicity of their relationship. Chester and Isham have been openly dating for six months. "It's really nice to be with someone you care about," Isham said.
The image shows two men smiling and laughing together. They appear to be enjoying a moment of shared joy or amusement. The background is blurred with trees, suggesting an outdoor setting.

Love triumphs

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Same race, similar age and different sex are all defining characteristics of society's formula of a "normal" couple. However, many students at the University of Kansas do not fit into that equation.
A romantic dinner and a Valentine surprise is what senior Brian Isham, Wichita junior, has in store for boyfriend Andy Chester, St. Louis junior.
"We're going to do the typical thing and go to dinner," Isham said. "It's going to be relatively romantic."
Isham and Chester met through Isham's roommate, and they have been dating for about six months. Although the couple is comfortable with their relationship, not everyone considers it as legitimate as a heterosexual relationship.
"I've never been personally attacked, but sometimes it can be awkward," Isham said. "It's not that they're are attacking us, they just consider us less valid. It's kind of offensive."
Others' opinions do not affect Isham's view of the relationship.
"It doesn't bother me. I know exactly
how I feel, and that's enough for me," Isham said.
Intercultural couples provide other examples of nontraditional relationships. Sophomores Brent Becker, Hutchinson, and Neisha Fernandes, a native of Kuwait, have experienced this first hand. Becker is white, and Fernandes is Indian.
"I think it enhances the relationship," Becker said. "Being different races and from different countries provides a lot more exploration. I encourage interracial dating. You gain more perspective."
Couples remain strong in spite of pressure that comes from nontraditional romance
The couple met about a year ago at a Halloween party and has been dating for four months. Neither Becker nor Fernandes has experienced much adversity because of dating outside of their races.
"So far people have accepted us as a normal couple," Fernandes said.
Becker and Fernandes planned to go out to dinner.
The holiday has special significance for Fernandes this year.
“It's important to me to express my love,” Becker said, “and Valentine's Day is a good time to do it.”
"It wasn't that important until this year," Fernades said. "This is my first real
relationship, and it means more now that I 'm with somebody."
For Leavenworth freshman Ashley Matzeder and her boyfriend, age difference and distance are both obstacles. Matzeder is a college student studying applied behavior sciences, while her boyfriend, a 16-year-old sophomore in high school, lives in Illinois.
"He gets a lot of congratulations for having an older girlfriend," Matzeder said. "For me, it's kind of the reverse. Sometimes I get made fun of, but I don't really care."
Neither family has a problem with the relationship, but Matzeder's family was hesitant at first.
"My family is still adjusting," Matzeder said. "They just don't want to see me get hurt. His doesn't care. They're both pretty OK with it."
The couple met online and did not meet in person until their one-year anniversary.
"We met in a homework help chat room," Matzeder said. "But we ended up not talking about homework at all."
After getting to know each other through e-mail and telephone conversations, the couple realized how
much they had in common. After a couple of months of communication, Matzeder and her boyfriend developed a relationship.
"When you only get to talk to someone online and on the phone, you focus on thoughts and emotions, not just the physical stuff," Matzeder said. "You get to know each other spiritually."
For long-distance couples, celebrating Valentine's Day can be a challenge. Matzeder and her boyfriend have scheduled a phone date, but not being able to be together is frustrating.
"It's hard because all of my friends and roommates have boyfriends here, and I don't get to be with the person I'm supposed to be with." Matzeder said. "There's nothing we can do."
Despite the distance between Illinois and Kansas, the age difference and their nontraditional meeting, Matzeder and her boyfriend continue to maintain a strong relationship.
"People need to realize that even though we're unconventional, I love him to death." Matzeder said.

Few college baseball players get the opportunity to travel to Omaha's Rosenblatt Stadium wearing a freshly-sewn patch that reads "College World Series."
Senior pitcher Ricky Fairchild was one of those fortunate few, reaching the College World Series last season as a member of the Tulane Green Wave. Now he is working toward doing the same for the Kansas Iavhawks.
"It's something that's every college baseball player's dream, and I think everybody deserves to experience it at some point, either as a fan or as a player." Fairchild said. "I'd like to get back."
The chances of Fairchild making back-to-back College World Series appearances might seem unrealistic, but the odds were against him last year as well.
As Baseball America's No. 1 prospect in the National Baseball Congress World Series in the summer of 2003, Fairchild had the potential for a professional contract.
That was until the end of that
year. Fairchild underwent Tommy John surgery and missed the rest of the 2004 season.
Despite the setback, Fairchild was determined to return to the mound. With a positive outlook, faith in his doctors and physical therapists and dedication to his therapy regimen, he finally returned in 2005.
"The first time out there was a little nerve-racking, just because there's that fear in the back of your mind that, 'What if it happens again?' " Fairchild said. "I didn't want to try to go 100 percent for fear that it might hurt, but then after I got in the rhythm for a little while and my arm was feeling good, I didn't really have any problems."
That season, as a senior by academic standards, he fulfilled his dream of reaching the College World Series. Although the No. 1 seeded Green Wave failed to win the championship, Fairchild said he cherished the experience.
Fairchild graduated from Tulane that spring, but decided not to let his baseball career end. With an extra year of eligibility because of the medical redshirt he took in 2004, he began searching for a school closer to
his native Dallas.
There was only one problem: Fairchild's coach at Tulane, Rick Jones, denied his request to release him to play at a Texas school because of Tulane's proximity.
"The fact that he pitched at Tulane in a Top 25 program and he's been to the College World Series, 1 thought he could really bring some experience to our staff that could be a great addition." Price said.
Fairchild only pitched as a reliever at Tulane last season. This season, Fairchild is a regular KU starter.
As a result, Fairchild looked for up- and coming programs
Kansas fit that criteria.
expect him to come in here and contribute as much as he did, but he's already had two great starts and he's defining his role as the Saturday starter on this team and that's something that we definitely needed."
"I go to Ricky mostly because he has the most experience," freshman pitcher Andy Marks said. "He's been everywhere."
Being a native of Texas, Fairchild said he looked forward to playing against the Longhorns the most but tries to keep from looking too far into the future. He will face No. 9 San Diego, who swept then-No. 1 Texas two weeks ago, on Saturday in the Public Storage Classic.
Fairchild said Hurricane Katrina did not play a factor in his decision to transfer to Kansas. He committed to Kansas a week before Katrina struck Louisiana.
In 10 1/3 innings of work this season, Fairchild is 2-0 with a 2.61 ERA and five strikeouts. He has allowed only three earned runs for No. 30 Kansas.
"In the near term, I can't wait for this weekend," he said. "Whoever I'm pitching against, I'm ready for that challenge."
Even before Fairchild threw a pitch in Lawrence, Kansas coach Ritch Price said Fairchild's presence on the roster could only improve the team's chances of going deep into the postseason.
"He's done great," senior closer Don Czyz said. "I really didn't
Fairchild has also proven to be a valuable source of knowledge for younger pitchers on the team.

Sutton deserves salute

MWILSON@KANSAN.COM
I hope we haven't seen the last of legendary Oklahoma State basketball coach Eddie Sutton on the Cowboys' sideline.
It would be a shame to see a true college basketball legend go out this way. He didn't coach Oklahoma State against Kansas on Monday, and will miss the rest of the season after a car accident last Friday sent him to the hospital. Sutton had been suffering from back and neck pain all season and was considering leaving the team even before the accident.
Only the best coach in basketball history, Dean Smith, posted more wins in his first 35 years of coaching than Sutton. Sutton has taken his teams to the NCAA Basketball Tournament in 26 of 35 seasons at Creighton, Arkansas, Kentucky and Oklahoma State.
Sutton doesn't receive the credit he deserves on the national level, and he barely receives such credit around the Midwest. Just look at the man's credentials. His 794 career coaching victories place him eighth among the all-time Division I leaders, ahead of revered coaches like Phog Allen, John Wooden and Lou Henson. Even one of the men the Gallagher-Iba Arena at Oklahoma State is named after, Henry Iba, had fewer victories than Sutton.
In 15 seasons with the Cowboys before this year, his program reached the tournament 13 times. To put that into perspective, Oklahoma State had only made it to the Big Dance once in the 25 years before Sutton took over in 1990.
Sutton lacks a national championship, but that should not deter from his legacy or his Hall of Fame status. Two Final Four appearances at Oklahoma State and one at Arkansas solidify his place among the game's elite.

The Booth Family Hall of Athletics was designed to blend in with Allen Fieldhouse. The same Manhattan White Limestone from the original Kansas quarry used for the fieldhouse was used for the hall.
Hall, fieldhouse a perfect fit
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
ejorgensen@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
One month after its opening, fans are still flocking to Krohn's complement to Allen Fieldhouse.
When architect Bob Krohn and his team sat down to design the Booth Family Hall of Athletics, they had a daunting task ahead. They had to create a state-of-the-art facility and attach it to a building more than 50 years old.
"The best part is we haven't
When they designed the Hall, designers tried to make it blend with the fieldhouse. To maintain the fieldhouse's traditional atmosphere, the team used Manhattan White Limestone from the same quarry the original rocks were taken from, Krohn said. The doors at the entrance of the Hall are the same blue doors that were at the old entrance
heard anything bad," said Krohn, an architect at HOK Sport, + Venue + Event in Kansas City, Mo. "People seem to really like go through there."
"We said that we had every intention of constructing the Hall of Athletics so that it would blend with the exterior of the fieldhouse," Marchiony said.
Krohn and company took those guidelines and created
of the fieldhouse.
The intent was for the new addition not to stand out from the original structure. A natural feel was something the Athletics Department made clear it wanted from HOK's design, said Jim Marchiony, Associate Athletics Director.
HOK kept the height of the building as low as possible. This allows the metallic words "Allen Fieldhouse" to be visible on the building from Naismith Drive. It also allows the original windows below the words to be visible, which still creates natural light in the arena while preserving its original look.
a similar looking structure.
"We didn't want the building to be completely different," Krohn said. "I think here, the idea was respectful of the building."
Gina Leo, an HOK spokeswoman, said her firm knew the importance of preserving the feel of an original building.
"If you can imagine being an alumni, a lot of your college experience is based on game day," Leo said.
Although a natural feel was important during the planning stages, uniqueness was also important. Krohn said the building still needed to convey the history of Kansas athletics on the inside.

Jayhawks receive respite from games
After rattling off eight straight victories, including four within the past nine days, the Kansas Jayhawks will now have four full days of rest before facing the Missouri Tigers on Saturday.
For some players, the layoff will be welcomed with open arms. The break will give them a chance to rest injuries and time to prepare for Missouri, who shocked the team earlier in the season in an overtime thriller.
"It feels good to have a couple
of days off," freshman guard Mario Chalmers said. "We have a lot to work on though to get ready for Missouri."
Chalmers has been a big part of Kansas' winning streak, scoring in double figures in four straight games and being named Big 12 Player of the Week for his play against Nebraska and Iowa State.
With the past four games being played in such a small time frame, freshman guard Brandon Rush said he wanted to keep playing.
"I think it is pretty good that we have played this many games in a row." Rush said.
Rush said he thought that Kansas was in better shape than most of the teams that they had played this season because of the treadmill work the team has done at practice.
"We are going to take a quick break and come back Saturday and be ready for Missouri."
Kansas has won 15 of its past 17 games, but this week was the first time it's been ranked in the national polls. The Jajhawks were No.22 in both the coaches' poll and the Associated Press poll, which were released Monday.
During the past eight games,

Self has also seen his team struggle at times during the streak, including the first 30 minutes of Monday's victory against Oklahoma State.
"It has been a gradual process, and the reason people think we are playing so better now is because we are scoring the ball well, but we have guarded and rebounded for the most part during that stretch," Self said.
"We have become a decent

spurt team. We said all along that we could be good at that," Self said. "We are not going to play well for 40 minutes because we are going to play young through a period of time, but when we play good, we are pretty good."
Kansas now starts three freshmen whose minutes per game have increased, giving more experience for his young players.
"The confidence is just growing. Those are some young kids out there playing fairly fearless," Self said.

First-time Olympian steps up
Ted Ligety wins gold in men's combined
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15. 2006
BY BOB BAUM
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SESTRIERE, Italy — Young Ted Ligety gave the United States the Olympic gold medal that Bode Miller couldn't deliver Tuesday night, uncorking two dynamic slalom runs to win the men's combined and break the Americans' bad luck in Alpine skiing.
The 21-year-old skier from Park City, Utah, in his first Olympics, had a combined time of 3 minutes. 9.35 seconds for the downhill and two slalom runs. Ivica Kostelic of Croatia won the silver medal, 53-hundredths of a second behind the American at 3:09.88. Rainer Schoenfelder of Austria captured the bronze at 3:10.67.
Austrian favorite Benjamin Raich, the leader going into the final slalom run, skied off course, setting off a red-white-and-blue celebration at the finish area.
"It's incredible," Ligety said. "I can't believe it (happened) in combined because I'm not very good in downhill."
He said it would have been even better if Raich had finished.
"I would prefer to win standing up to him." Ligety said.
U. S. skiers Steven Nyman and Scott Macartney tackled Ligety, and the three teammates rolled in the snow together. They rose, and Ligety waved an American flag while he was propped on the others' shoulders.
"I'm not surprised he's on the podium," U.S. men's coach Phil McNichol said. "I'm a bit surprised he won gold."
It was only the fourth Olympic Alpine gold medal ever for U.S. men.
Ligety burst onto the world scene with two thirds and a second in this, his second World Cup season, and it seemed only a question of when, not if he would be a winner.
It couldn't have come at a better time for the frustrated Americans.
"You've just got to get in the
starting gate and throw down whatever you've got," Ligety said.
What he had was two near-flawless slalom runs—the night's fastest at 43.84 seconds in his clinching second run and 44.09 seconds in the first, .01 slower than the best time of that leg.
On the final run, he attacked the steep part of the course at the start but gained most of his time with a sweep through the middle section, dashing between gates with a perfect aggressive rhythm.
Miller was disqualified for straddling a gate in the first run, just
when he seemed to have built a commanding lead for his elusive first Olympic gold medal.
The disqualification gave the lead temporarily to Raich, who had trailed Miller by nearly a second.
The U.S. team decided not to protest
"We looked at it enough times," said program director Jesse Hunt. "We're satisfied."
"I've straddled probably more times that most people have finished the slalom," he told reporters at the bottom of the run.
Miller was nonchalant.
"If it's clear,it's clear," Miller said.

Gretzky's link to alleged gambling could distract team
BY ALAN ROBINSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURINO, Italy — Finally,
what Canada has been waiting
for: hockey.
Or discussion about possible distractions for the play-
No more talk about Wayne Gretzky's link to an alleged gambling ring — OK, at least until he pokes his head into one of the two rinks at the Turin Olympics.
sible distraction ers, who make up what may be the best Canadian Olympic team ever.
They say what's going on with Gretzky has nothing to do with them winning another gold.
"T
The players are pretty much insulated here. Distractions don't matter to them. They're here to play the game... and they're ready to play."
A New Jersey-based gambling investigation alleges Rick Tocchet, Gretzky's top assistant coach with the Phoenix Coyotes, financed an illegal betting ring that supposably drew $1.7 million in bets in the weeks leading to the Super Bowl.
Wayne Gretzky Executive Director of Team Canada
were among the highest ever in the country.
And this team, put together mostly by executive director Gretzky, is seen as the gold medal favorite.
Gretzky said after arriving Tuesday, "Distractions don't matter to them. They're here to play the game ... and they're ready to play."
The games start today with Canada playing Italy in what could be a 10-goal game or more.
The Olympics stir a Super Bowl-like reaction in Canada, only everybody roots for the same team. TV ratings for Canada's gold-medal win in 2002
The United States, silver medalists in 2002 in Salt Lake City while Canada won its first gold in 50 years, takes on Latvia in the first of its five round-robin games in pool play.
Gretzky has not been questioned, but his wife, actress Janet Jones, is alleged to have placed bets with the group.
And the timing couldn't have been worse — leading one Canadian newspaper to question
if the probe was intentionally timed to hurt Canada's chances and improve the United States' in the Olympics.
The NHL only wishes Americans paid such close attention to hockey.
Canada's players are acting as if Gretzky's troubles aren't their own, since he won't be taking any shifts or leading any oddman rushes — even though, at age 45, the NHL's all-time leading scorer probably could.
"We're excited he's coming and that he'll be a part of that," team captain Joe Sakic said. "I know people are trying to bring up, 'What's going on with Wayne?' ... It's not an issue."

Skater's personal best leads field gold medal in grasp
BY BARRY WILNER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURINO, Italy — Evgeni Plushenko's biggest fan Tuesday night was his closest competitor — U.S. champion Johnny Weir.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Weir marveled at the 90.66 points the Russian star put up in the Olympic men's short program. Plushenko's personal best gave him more than a 10-point lead over the three-time U.S. champ, a massive gap.
United States 2006 pairs figure skating champion John Baldwin holds up an American flag while Evan Lysseck of the United States prepares for his performance at the Men's Figure Skating short program at the Turin 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turino, Italy, on Tuesday. Baldwin competed in the pairs final competition Monday, Feb. 13 but failed to win a medal.
Plushenko soared far beyond it and pretty much put the gold medal in his pocket, even if he wouldn't say so.
"It's a lot of pressure right now, guys, come on," Plushenko said. "Nothing happened. I just skated today perfect and did my job."
"It's wild. I didn't think anyone would get above 80.00," Weir said.
Plushenko, winner of three world titles, was Weir's pick for gold before the Olympics began and Weir still doesn't think there's much of a chance he'll lose in Thursday night's free skate.
"If he falls three times, maybe, just maybe someone can squeeze by." Weir said.
From the moment he stepped on the ice until the conclusion of his short program to Puccini's "Tosca," Plushenko never flashed even a hint of a smile. This was all business — and business was good for the 2002 Olympic silver medalist.
14
He nailed every element, from a quad toe loop-triple toe loop combination to a solid triple axel to complex footwork into a triple lutz. Only when his final combination spin ended did he lighten up, going from intense concentration to a series of fist pumps. He seemed more relieved than excited.
"I am very happy I achieved a new personal best," said Plushenko, who admitted he was a "little bit sick" earlier this week. "I did it in the Olympic Games. It is very important to me. Everything was clean."
The recently married Plushenko clowned it up when his score was posted. He kissed his wedding ring and blew kisses into the camera for his wife, Maria.
A nice Valentine's Day present.
Weir got one, too — a personal-
best 80.00 score.
"It's over, it's done, it's Valentine's Day and I can go buy myself a rose and some chocolate," he said.
World champion Stephane Lambiel was third with 79.04 points.
When the event favorite posts that kind of number, particularly out of the second slot among 30 skaters, the chase can be futile.
"I'm going to fight." Lambiel said. "I have to check what's wrong for the free program."
As it was for Jeff Buttle, the 2005 world silver medalist trying to become Canada's first men's Olympic champion.
His playful routine to "Sing Sing Sing" was ruined by a fall on a triple axel. He finished sixth.
"Obviously, I've been getting more pressure than I am used to, but I should be able to handle that," he said. "More than anything, it was the pressure I put on myself."
"I'm not even going to think about a medal." he said.
Lambiel was the next top contender, skating to a new "Cirque du Soleil" program.
"I had an off night, not good to do it at the Olympics," Lysacek said. "Maybe because it was the Olympics I wanted to prepare that much more and it kind of backfired."
"It pays to show something new and refreshing," he said.
He eliminated any chance for first place with his opening element, cutting a triple axel into a double. It's a jump he tends to struggle with, but Lambiel didn't let it destroy his program.
It also pays to hit everything you trv.
His triple flip was shaky, though, as were some other spins, and he didn't hold position very well on his final spin.
Some excellent spins, including one where he touches his boot in mid-spin, and a quadtriple combination were enough for third, but barely within sight of Plushenko.
Lambiel won the world championships in great part because Plushenko had groin problems that eventually required surgery.
"I was supposed to do the triple, I was prepared for it," he said. "I don't know what happened. I opened too early."
"It's good, it definitely was not my best. I didn't feel my best and I was tripping all over at the end," he said. "I've been toted as America's next medal hope. As long as I go well, I can't see why not. I will definitely race for silver."
Teammates Evan Lysacek and Matt Savoie won't. Lysacek crashed on his opening triple axel, seemed to recover, but later cut a triple flip to a double, ensuring he would plummet in the standings. The 2005 world bronze medalist stood 10th, two spots in back of Savoie.
Weir finished fourth in that event, but on Tuesday his elegant portraitay of a swan featured perhaps the best triple axel of
"Maybe I sensed the wall coming up too close," Lysacek said. "Maybe I pulled up too soon."

For the first time in Kansas history, the baseball team swept the Big 12 weekly awards on Tuesday.
Senior outfielder Gus Milner was named Player of the Week. He has hit .545 in the first eight games of the season with three home runs and 16 RBI.
Milner, Czyz honored by Big 12 for last week's performances
Senior reliever Don Czyz was named Pitcher of the Week. Milner and Czyz led the Jayhawks to victory in two of three games against the Stanford Cardinal.
Kansas's next game will be this weekend at the Public Storage Classic in Los Angeles.The first game will be Friday at 8 p.m. against No.25 USC.
Baty expected to play despite knee injury sustained in game last week
Kansas senior outfielder Matt Baty said he would play this weekend in the Public Storage Classic in Los Angeles.
He missed the last three innings of Sunday's game against Stanford after his knee gave out while fielding a ground ball in center field.
Baty re-aggravated a knee injury that he has had throughout his career with the Jayhawks.
"I've been bouncing back from injuries all four years here," Baty said. "There nothing to worry about. I'll be ready to play come game time."
Kansas coach Ritch Price could not comment on the extent of Baty's injury on Sunday night, and left it up to Baty to inform reporters of his status.
Although he did not practice on Tuesday, Baty said he had no plans to sit out this weekend.
No. 30 Kansas will take on No.9 San Diego, USC and Vanderbilt in the tournament, which starts Friday.

Southern Illinois coach has tumor removed expected to recover
CARBONDALE, III. — Southern Illinois football coach Jerry Kill said Tuesday he had a cancerous tumor removed from one of his kidneys last month, having opted to wait a couple of months to have the operation until after the Salukis' season was over.
"I'm doing fine," said Kill, whose cancer was first reported Tuesday by the Southern Illinoisan newspaper in Carbondale, home of the Salukis. Cancer "is just an obstacle that's come up, and now I have
Kill, 44, said he expected a full recovery and that doctors have found no evidence the cancer had spread.
Kill, who told the Salukis of the cancer last week, said doctors have been scrutinizing whether the cancer was linked to a series of seizures Kill weathered last fall, including one on the sidelines in the waning seconds of an Oct. 15 home loss to Illinois State.

▼ HOROSCOPES
ARIES (March 21-April 19) *★★ You could easily feel as if you are in the trenches. News or gossip might force you to put your thinking cap on. You will be able to sort through what is realistic and worthwhile to pursue. Others could give you false advice.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ***** A conflict might occur between what you think you want to do and the end results. Your light and frivolous side doesn't always emerge, but sure enough, today you — yes, you — might get flaky. A partner reacts.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) **.** Continue maintaining a low profile, for your own sake. Others could be inordinately touchy and difficult. You might not want to deal with them, though you'll have little choice. Others could get a bit upply. You can handle it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) *****
Speak your mind loud and clear.
Someone you need to deal with carefully could be in an absolute twit. Hold on tight and don't lose your temper, as you might need to revamp your plans.
Important information heads in your direction. Return calls.
VIRIG (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ******
Review a personal matter, knowing that you might need to make a mental or physical adjustment. This change is as hard as you want to make it. You have every ability to cruise through any booerangs if you detach.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ***** You might not be sure how you want to handle a personal matter, Risk-taking is a no-no right now. Don't be surprised at what occurs if you lie back and let others play out their agendas. Let them see the results.
LIBRA (Sept. 23, Oct. 22) **** You might easily stick your foot in your mouth, causing a lot of problems. You will want to muzzle yourself, especially after a potential incident. Work on detaching, and you'll become far more comfortable in your skin.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ******
Aim for precisely what you want,
though don't be surprised if it costs
you a bit more than you think. Use the
daylight hours, when you naturally
have more punch. Use the later day for
reflection and thought.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) *★★*
Let problems bypass you as if they were waves and you were the skipper of a boat. You will love what eventually comes down. Others will simply want to jump In and join you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ***** Though you might be upset or swallowing anger, refuse to jump to a conclusion. Seek out facts before you make a mistake or a judgment. You might change your perspective.
Dennis Lu/KANSAN
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) *****
As you determine your limits, you would be wise to test them on a close friend or associate. You truly might not want to hear what he or she says, but you absolutely must. How you view a friend changes.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) *****
Others could drive you stank raving
mad if you let them. Don't. Remember
who you are and where you are coming
from — OK? Review a situation openly.
Something or someone could easily
change his tune if you don't corner him.

Sutton
Sutton's character should also warrant respect. His Final Four team in 2004 was made up of eight transfer students, one of which, John Lucas, who had gone through the Baylor mess the year before.
A legend like Sutton should go out on his own terms. His son, Sean, is waiting in the wings, but hopefully Eddie will get healthy and return for one last season next year. His young team will be mature by then, and could help him make a run at the Big 12 Championship.
Four of the five starters, including Lucas, came from major universities and sought a better opportunity at Oklahoma State under Sutton. The old coach gave them a home in Stillwater, and somehow molded a championship-caliber team that went 31-4 and won the Big 12 title.
Sutton was also at the heart of the ultimate show of class and sportsmanship that I will remember from my time at the University of Kansas, Senior Day at Allen Fieldhouse in 2003. As time was winding down on a Jayhawk victory over the Cowboys, Sutton walked over to the Kansas bench and shook hands with seniors Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison, two of the most recent Kansas basketball legends.
He didn't have to do it; his team was being smoked and ended up losing by 18 points. But I'm sure nobody in attendance that day will forget the appreciation Sutton showed for two men who contributed to the success of the sport he loved.
I would like to see he and Kansas coach Bill Self provide another thriller like they did last season at Allen Fieldhouse, and it would be fun to give him the farewell tour he deserves.

TRACK & FIELD
'Hawks rest before Big 12 meet
BY EAVAN KAFARAKIS
ekafarakis@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
The Kansas track and field team should be rested with more than a week left until the Big 12 Indoor Championship.
After four weekends competing across the Midwest from Iowa to Arkansas, the team will have this weekend off.
"The past four weeks, the
team has been improving, and that's what we're looking for," coach Stanley Redwine said.
Leading the way for the Jayhawks has been the throwing tandem of senior Sheldon Battle and sophomore Egor Agafanov. Battle qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships in both events.
"Hopefully I can stay consistent with my technique and can continue to compete well,"Battle said.
Agafonov, who started competing with the Jayhawks at the Husker Invitational two weeks ago, has added another punch to the field side of the team.
Both throwers were ranked on trackwire.com, a Web site that ranks college track athletes and teams. The site ranked Battle No. 2 in the nation in the shot put and No. 8 in the weight throw. Agafonov ranked No. 1 in the
weight throw.
Also catching a spot the "Dandy Dozen" list was Kansas middle-distance runner Benson Chesang at No. 10.
"My goals this year are to win indoor, get to nationals and win." Chesang said.
Chesang said it was his first time to be ranked in anything, and that it was a good feeling.
Redwine said that although he didn't follow the Web site, the rankings could motivate
the team.
"It's an honor to the athletes to be ranked," Redwine said. "It can be a good thing for them."
Other Big. 12 teams ranked on the Web site were No. 2 Texas, No. 6 Nebraska and No. 15 Texas A&M.
The Big 12 Championship will take place February 24 to 25 in Lincoln, Neb.

Hip-hop artists resize Reebok shoe campaign
BY. MARK JEWELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CANTON, Mass. — The images that sell Reebok sneakers these days are edgy.
One ad depicts the devil. Another has fingerprints on what appears to be a police booking form, as rapper 50 Cent advises buyers to "take advantage of today because tomorrow is not promised."
A controversial television ad last year had 50 Cent, a former drug dealer who has rapped about being shot nine times, counting aloud the bullets that were fired at him.
The rapper laughs and then looks into the camera as a voiceover asks, "Who do you plan to massacre next?" The ad was withdrawn in Great Britain.
Reebok's "I am what I am" campaign is a significant shift for the sneaker brand that first gained traction pitching subtly styled, lightweight
shoes to American women who embraced the aerobics phenomenon of the 1980s.
These days, however, there's more money in selling to teenage males—a reality not lost upon Adidas-Salomon AG, which completed a $3.8 billion buyout of Reebok International Ltd. Jan. 31 and plans to keep the Reebok brand name alive. Reebok's profits rose more than 20 percent in both 2003 and 2004, and were up 37 percent through the first nine months of last year.
Adidas must now decide whether to stick with a marketing campaign that has yielded short-term sales gains among younger consumers.
But the campaign is angering activists—although it has spurred no boycotts—and industry analysts say it also risks alienating customers who prize sneaker performance over fashion.
footwear, or any clothing, is not, and must not be a moneymaking tool referencing gun violence, drugs or gangs," said Liz Bishop-Goldsmith, president of Rosedale, N.Y.-based Mothers Against Guns.
Reebok, which has also featured rapper Jay-Z, has gone further than market leader Nike Inc. and other rivals in embracing hip-hop culture and youth-oriented entertainment alongside athletics.
"Promotion and marketing
Reebok's hip-hop foray began in 2002 with the street-inspired "RbK" line, and in November the company announced it would begin producing Reebok-branded TV programs for a new Comcast Corp. on-demand hip-hop channel.
Reebok's chief marketing officer, Dennis Baldwin, said market research conducted after a late 1990s sales downturn revealed Reebok needed to retrench in response to a changing youth market.

GAMEDAY
Husker game to determine 'Hawks' future
KU Tip-off
LAST TIME OUT
No Kansas team wants to lose to Missouri, and certainly not in the fashion the Jayhawks did on Saturday. After leading the first 34 minutes of the game, the Jayhawks watched the Tigers make a late run for a 64-57 victory. The loss almost certainly eliminates Kansas' chance of playing in the NCAA Tournament.
2 - The number of games Kansas has won in its last 10
PLAYER TO WATCH
15 — The number of times senior forward Crystal Kemp has been the leading scorer this season.
Freshman guard Ivana Catic. With the suspension of junior guard Shaquina Mosley, there is no margin of error for Catic. She must have a big game, or she will allow Nebraska's defense to double-team senior guard Erica Hallman.
2001 — The last year a Jayhawk was named to the Academic All-DistrictTeam before Kemp was named last week.
3 QUICK FACTS
Kansas vs. Nebraska, Channel 6 7:05 p.m., Tonight, Allen Fieldhouse
KEY TO VICTORY
If the Jayhawks are going to make a late-season run into the WNIT, this is the game to do it. Tonight's game is probably the most favorable for the rest of the season, and will be a good gauge as to whether the Jayhawks are fighting out the season or packing up and going home for the offseason.
Kansas
OFFENSE
A tackluster offensive performance at Missouri raised eyebrows, as offense has typically been the strength of this team. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson attributed it to her players standing around while one player tried to make a play by herself. Kansas' main offensive threats, senior forward Crystal Kemp and senior guard Erica Hallam, usually play almost all of the game, so it's important for them to be active, especially toward the end of a long season. The problems aren't a mystery, or as Henrickson put it: "There's nothing wrong with the offenses we run."
KU KU KU
DEFENSE
Sophomore forward Taylor Mcntosh has come on strong, and her rebounding has helped the Jayhawks immensely. Still, the negatives far outweigh the positives in this category. The most important thing for Kansas will be to adjust when Nebraska starts using motion and sets picks to create open shots. If the Jayhawks' defenders can't follow the ball, the Cornhuskers will take advantage of every opportunity.
Nebraska
OFFENSE
KU
The Cornhuskers have a solid inside-outside combination in Kelsey Griffin and Kiera Hardy. Both rank in the top 10 in the conference in scoring. Nebraska ranks in the middle of the pack in the conference in both scoring and field goal percentage. Effective play from Griffin and Hardy was too much in the first meeting, and it could be again tonight.
NN
Michael Phillips
DEFENSE
A zone defense in the team's earlier meeting sent Kansas' offense into a deep funk. The zone can be effective against the Jayhawks, especially if the three-point shots aren't falling. For Nebraska, the key will be denying Kansas access into the paint with senior forward Crystal Kemp. If it can limit Kemp's touches, it forces Kansas' streaky shooting guards to win the game.
NN
Ryan Schneider
NU Tip-off
LAST TIME OUT
PLAYER TO WATCH
Nebraska started slowly on Saturday and lost 69-50 to Texas A&M. Freshman forward Kelsey Griffin played one of the best games of her career against the Aggles. Griffin scored 20 points on 9-of-10 shooting from the field, along with five rebounds and three steals.
Junior guard Kiera Hardy is one of the Big 12 Conference's top guards. She's eighth on the conference scoring list, averaging 17 points a game. In the previous meeting between the two teams, Hardy scored a game-high 26 points, including four three-pointers.
3 QUICK FACTS
3 - The number of consecutive losses by the Cornhuskers.
51. 9 — Nebraska's field goal percentage in its earlier meeting with Kansas last month.
68. 5 — The Cornhuskers' average point total per game.
KEY TO VICTORY
Kansas could not answer Hardy's hot shooting when the two teams met in January in Lincoln, Neb. The Jayhawks have had difficulty in conference play this season on defense; several opponents have shot at least 40 percent from the field against them. If Hardy can catch fire again, it could be a long night defensively for Kansas.
NCAA BASKETBALL
Missouri to investigate Snyder's departure
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The University of Missouri will investigate the handling of coach Quin Snyder's sudden departure last week, university officials said Tuesday.
Snyder stepped down on Friday, a day after vowing to
finish his seventh season at the school. The Kansas City Star reported that athletic director Mike Alden sent Gary Link, a basketball analyst who is also his special assistant, to inform Snyder that he would not be retained.
The investigation apparently will begin with an interview of Link, who has had no comment about his role in the matter. Alden has said that he asked Link to "gauge
now he's doing" but not to inform Snyder that he was a lame duck. He did not return phone calls Tuesday.
Missouri won its first game without Snyder on Sunday, ending a six-game losing streak behind interim coach Melvin Watkins, and is 11-11 (4-7 Big 12) with five regular-season games remaining.
University spokesman Joe Moore said Elson Floyd,
president of the University of Missouri's four-campus system, asked Chancellor Brady Deaton to investigate the situation. Chad Moller, the school's sports information director, also confirmed the decision.
"Dr. Floyd did ask Chancellor Deaton to look into some questions regarding events surrounding Coach Snyder's decision to depart." Moore said. He declined further comment.
Wooldridge returns to team after surgery
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State head coach Jim Wooldridge will be back with the team Wednesday night at Texas Tech, one week after he underwent neck surgery.
The school said he returned to practice on Tuesday and felt well enough to make the trip to Lubbock, Texas. He missed
two games, a victory against Iowa State and a loss at Missouri. Wooldridge planned to travel separately on Wednesday.
Doctors removed a bulging disk in his neck and fused the C3-4 vertebrae. He was released from the hospital the next day.
The 50-year-old Wooldridge underwent a successful operation that lasted nearly two hours on Feb.8.

Five months ago, a liquor store called Mass Beverage opened in south Lawrence and has raised the standard for customer service, selection, and low prices.
According to Yellowbook.com, there are more than 25 liquor stores in Lawrence. Most of them are cramped spaces filled with the same choices, but Mass Beverage is not an average liquor store.
Mass Beverage: Changing the Way You Buy Liquor
Located near Target at 3131 Nieder Rd., Mass Beverage is one of the first liquor stores in Lawrence to make customer service a real priority. Unlike other liquor stores where the clerks are there to inspect your I.D. and take your money, the staff at Mass Beverage circulates through the store to help you find the perfect wine or spirit you are after.
Kasey Lemos, an employee at Mass Beverage, says the staff makes each customer a priority.
"We make sure students get exactly what they need, and we can answer any liquor questions they have," said Lemos.
Of course, Lemos is accustomed to answering questions. In addition to having a great staff, Mass Beverage also provides the widest variety of wine, beer and liquor in Lawrence.
In fact, Mass Beverage is so committed to its customers they have a request list. Kelly Steinle works at Mass Beverage and says patrons feel important when something is ordered just for them.
So not only will Mass Beverage's great staff help you find your favorite drink,but they'll also make sure you're getting a great deal.
"Our customer request list is another big benefit to shopping at Mass Beverage," said Steinle. "There aren't many places that care about their customers as much as we do."
In addition to these benefits, Mass Beverage is also one of the most affordable places to buy your wine, beer and liquor.

CITY COMMISSION
Lawrence revising noise law
BY KRISTEN JARBOE
kjarboe@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Joe Delaney said his social life was killed by a nuisance ordinance.
Delaune, Des Moines, Iowa, senior threw a party in his apartment at 17th and Kentucky streets in October. "It was a big party in a tiny apartment," he said. The Lawrence police department showed up at Delaney's apartment because of a noise complaint. He has not had a party since then.
The Lawrence City Commission began revising the Disorderly House Nuisance in January. Currently, the Commission is looking at the types of offenses that are considered nuisances. The ordinance will not just include convictions, but diversions as well.
The ordinance says "a dwelling is a 'Disorderly House Nuisance' when it is associated with: two or more triggering events arising out of separate and distinct facts and circumstances, or three or more triggering events by separate individuals arising from the same general facts and circumstances" within a 365-day period.
The ordinance still states that, upon conviction for a violation, the offender can be fined up to $1,000, serve jail time not exceeding 180 days or both.
When the police arrived at Delaney's apartment, the officers informed him of the violation's consequences. Living near the University of Kansas, Delaney was surprised police showed up. He said noise complaints should depend on where the noise occurred.
"Here on Kentucky or Tennessee Street, it's a student ghetto, and
if you don't like noise, then don't live here," Delaney said. "I understand there are people who have to get up early, but if you're living in the student ghetto, you should expect noise next door."
For misconduct on property, the ordinance also stated that the City of Lawrence would send a written notice to the property owner. Residents would then be cited for a violation, and their utilities would be disconnected.
"I don't think that's fair," said Shelly Axell, Lawrence senior. "Fining is one thing, but turning off your power is another. That's your personal property."
Axcell lives in a house at 17th and Indiana streets. She said there were a lot more families that lived near her than there were students. She said parties didn't really occur in that area and she had never thrown one either but might think twice if she did.
"The consequences seem pretty steep to me," she said. "It's a little harsh after only two occurrences."
City Commissioner David Schauer said there were a lot of complaints from the Oread Neighborhood residents, which was one of the reasons the commission started to look at the ordinance. He said that, under old ordinance, the process of filing a complaint took so long that it practically wouldn't happen.
HEALTH
For Commissioner Mike Amyx, deciding whether to approve the new ordinance modifications came down to neighbors getting along with each other.
"People should have the enjoyment of their homes on both sides," he said, "whether you're studying or sleeping."

STI awareness the rise
--said the shorter treatment usually had better results because people were less likely to finish the longer therapies. Treatment for gonorrhea involves a chlamydia antibiotic plus a single-dose gonorrhea-specific medication, she said.
On
BY CATHERINE ODSON ♦ codson@kansan.com
The number of KU students being tested for sexually transmitted infections has increased dramatically in the past two years.
Gonorrhea testing rates at Watkins Memorial Health Center have increased by 90 percent. More than 2,000 students were tested between December 2004 and November 2005.
Since the inception of campaigns such as Ban Ping-Pong and Clean-N-Safe, the number of students tested for gonorrhea has increased from 1,203 during December 2003 to November 2004 to the current 2,301, Bill Smith, Watkins health educator, said.
Ban Ping-Pong and Clean-N-Safe are campaigns to raise awareness of prevention and testing of STIs.
Fifteen people, less than 1 percent, tested positive for gonorrhea last year. Chlamydia tests increased to 2,265 tests. Less than 5 percent of tests were positive.
Chlamydia has two treatment options: a seven-day therapy involving two doses per day, and a single-dose treatment. Thrasher
Seventy percent of women and 50 percent of men infected with chlamydia or gonorrhea have no symptoms. Those who do have symptoms experience abnormal discharge, tower abdominal and testicular pain and a burning sensation during urination.
The nationwide Clean-N-Safe campaign targeted chlamydia and gonorrhea because, as bacterial infections, both can be cured with antibiotics. Cathy Thrasher, chief pharmacist at Watkins, said the pharmacy offered multiple treatments for both.
HPV, human papilloma virus, causes warts, both flat and raised, that are painless but can itch. HPV is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, and can be transmitted even when symptoms are not present. Fifty-seven of 2,436 women tested positive at Watkins. Like herpes, the disease is not curable, but a new line of clinical trials is working to make it preventable.
Merk & Co. Inc. proposed Gardasil, an HPV vaccine, to the Food and Drug Administration earlier this month. The drug was designed to protect against four types of HPV that cause both genital warts and cervical cancer, a company press release said. The FDA is scheduled to review the drug within the next four months.
Other STIs, such as herpes and HPV, are viral infections and cannot be cured. Medications do exist to help alleviate symptoms, Smith said, but the diseases are still transmittable without any symptoms present.
Herpes causes single or clustered lesions, or blisters, on the skin. The blisters develop for a few weeks, possibly causing severe pain and itching, before bursting. While medications are available to decrease the frequency of outbreaks, active outbreaks cannot be controlled. Nine percent of students tested at Watkins were positive for herpes.

Chancellor welcomes new provost
BY MELINDA RICKETTS
mricketts@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Offered $10 by a broadcast reporter to pronounce his own name correctly twice in a row, Richard Lariviere, the newly named provost, responded that it's very easy, "particularly if you know French."
That set the tone for the rest of his informal presentation to faculty, staff and reporters — serious responses sprinkled with characteristic humor.
"He has a great sense of humor," Chanceller Robert Hemenway said. "He's very serious about public higher education, and he's very accomplished."
At the presentation Wednesday morning at the Adams Alumni Center, located east of the Kansas Union, Hemenway formally announced Lariviere as the selection for provost. Hemenway welcomed Lariviere and his wife to the University of Kansas. Hemenway presented the two with matching KU sweatshirts as tokens of welcome.

agenda right now was to learn the landscape of the University, saying that he is still a rookie. He said it would be a daunting prospect to step into Shulenburger's shoes because of how talented he was and because of his excellent working relationship he cultivated with the University's staff. Lariviere plans to visit Lawrence as frequently as his obligations at the University of Texas allow him.
His wife, Janis Lariviere, who will be joining the Center for Science Education, said she and her husband were "absolutely thrilled" to be moving to Lawrence.
"We fell in love when we visited and we can't wait to live here full time," she said.
Lariviere said the main thing on his
Lariviere said one of his primary
reasons for choosing the University was that it was one of only five schools in the country that had both a National Science Foundation center for research and engineering center for research.
He said he also based his decision to come here on his great passion for public higher education, which he felt he could have a serious impact on at a large, flagship institution like the University.
Although he is uncertain of how he will incorporate student involvement, he said that at the University of Texas he relied heavily on the elected representatives of students and student representatives from each department in the college.
During his five years as dean, he won the Eyes of Texas Excellence Award twice, an award given by an anonymous student service organization to people who have made an outstanding contribution to student life.
"Every day when I get up I think about how to make this place great, every single day," he said.
Change affects students
Edited by Meghan Miller
You may have heard that the University of Kansas has selected a new provost. "Why should I care?" you may be wondering. "How could this possibly affect me?"
At the University of Kansas the provost serves as both the chief operations officer and the chief academic officer. The provost's office Web site states that "the provost is responsible for the formulation and implementation of academic and administrative policies and goals, acting through the vice provests and deans and in cooperation with University Governance."
What this means is that he makes all the final decisions about withdrawal policies, academic policies, parking, safety and other issues that affect students directly.
"Any major changes that take place on campus go through the provost's office," said Nick Sterner, student body president.
Sterner said the most important thing for students was that the provost be someone who was focused on students and not just research or financial issues.
He said that because of this, it's important that the new provost be someone whose mission was similar to the University's and who was willing to maintain the level of student involvement. He said that every committee that reported to the provost had 20 percent student representation.
"That's huge," he said. "They don't have that at other schools."

Joel Plummer, Sidney, N.Y., doctoral student in geography, sets up VRF radio wires used for communication during his research trip to Antarctica over winter break. Plummer received a $72,000 fellowship from NASA, for his work.
NASA awarded a KU student $72,000 to support his study of glaciers and global warming.
Joel Plummer, Sidney, N.Y., doctoral student, received one of 50 Earth System Science Fellowships conferred by NASA this academic year. The honor gives Plumber $72,000 over a three-year period as he continues his research in geography. Plummer must reapply each year of the fellowship to ensure his work meets NASA's expectations.
Over winter break, Plummer tested radar systems in Antarctica with other researchers from the University of Kansas' Center for the Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets. His group arrived in Antarctica on Dec. 22 to determine the depth of the ice and the geography of the rock underneath.
Plummer's research proposal required him to map the rocky terrain under moving glaciers. From his office in Kansas, Plummer created a nationally recognized map of a glacier bed in Greenland that he said might be the beginnings of a dissertation.
"It's maybe a little different map than you get on Mapquest," said David Braaten, Plummer's adviser and associate professor of geography. "It's not like we're going out and seeing where the rocks are. It's a map of thickness."
Plummer installed specialized
radar equipment to make these measurements and navigated snowmobiles around parts the vast, desolate continent. The important part professionally, he said, was learning how to prepare for a major trip.
"Something always goes wrong." Plummer said. "There are no hardware stores down there, so if something breaks, you have to figure out how to get by."
Plummer researches the relationship between climate change and glacier movement. The significance of this research, paired with Plummer's accomplished work record, made him a strong candidate for the fellowship, said Prasad Goginien, director of the center.
Braaten said the competitiveness of the fellowship indicated the importance of the topic. The maps Plummer creates will allow scientists to determine the volume of ice flowing from glaciers into the ocean, he said. This will help give scientists insight into rising sea-levels.
NASA designed the fellowship to provide tuition assistance to graduate students doing research pertinent to the organization's goals. Plummer began receiving the money last October and could use the additional money to cover research and traveling costs. He hopes to graduate in May 2008.

Law professor wins public service award
Stacy Leeds, professor of law, has been named the 14th recipient of the Clyde Ferguson Award from the Minority Law Section of the Association of American Law Schools
The award is given to an outstanding law teacher who has achieved excellence in public service, teaching and scholarship.
"It's exciting and very well deserved," said Webb Hecker, associate dean of academic affairs and Leeds' colleague at the Tribal Law and Government Center. "She's a relatively new addition to our faculty, but she has been spectacular as a teacher, as an adviser to students and as a scholar."
In 2002, Leeds became the first woman on the Cherokee Nation Supreme Court. She came to The University of Kansas in 2003 and has assisted the University with the recruitment of Native American Students. She also routinely speaks at national conferences on legal issues affecting Native Americans and tribal governments.

Tuition law stays despite opposition
A bill to repeal a law that gives some illegal immigrants a break on tuition at state universities and colleges failed Wednesday to clear a House committee on a tie vote.
The 2004 law allows some undocumented, noncitizen students to enroll in universities, community colleges and technical colleges and pay lower tuition rates normally reserved for citizens who are Kansas residents. The law was challenged last year and a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by students from other states who are attending Kansas universities.
The Federal and State Affairs Committee's vote initially stood at 11-10 in favor of the bill repealing the law, Chairman John Edmonds, R-Great Bend, voted against it. He said he didn't want to force colleagues in the House to face the politically difficult choice of voting to keep the law in place.

Abortion bill endorsed

CORRECTION
Sebelius vetoed last year, requiring the Department of Health and Environment to impose minimum health and safety standards for abortion clinics.
TOPEKA — A bill imposing new regulations on abortion clinics received a House committee's endorsement Wednesday after members made sure it applied only to abortion and not all office-based surgeries.
The measure clearing the Health and Human Services Committee is identical to a bill Gov. Kathleen
Kirk's measure drew opposition from the Kansas Medical Society, and even Sebelius worried Wednesday about its potential cost. Also, the State Board of Healing Arts, which licenses doctors, approved its own regulations for office-based surgeries last week.
However, for many legislators, the more crucial issue was opposition from Kansans for Life, the state's largest anti-abortion group, even though Kirk's proposal would have included abortion clinics. Anti-abortion activists want to single out the state's five abortion clinics, arguing they need more oversight.
The committee's 10-8 vote sent the measure to the House, which could occur next week.
A cutline in Wednesday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error.The article, "Lecture to review Wilt's impact," and the caption accompanying it should have said that the speech on Wilt Chamberlain will take place Thursday.

LEGISLATURE
Bill authorizes use of deadly force
BY JOHN MILBURN
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
TOPEKA — Security officers guarding the Wolf Creek nuclear plant would have a license to kill if terrorists attacked under a bill receiving tentative approval Wednesday in the House.
The bill, needing a final vote of approval to send it to the Senate, gives guards protecting the nuclear plant near Burlington legal protection for using physical or deadly force to stop those attempting to enter the state's only commercial nuclear facility and cause harm.
The owner of the plant also would be protected from civil liability, provided the guards were properly trained and reasonably believed there was a clear and present threat.
Liability for guards at other potential targets, such as chemical plants, feedlots or critical infrastructure, is not addressed by the bill.
Supporters cited the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the threat of future attacks as the need for the legislation.
"After 9-11, our soil is a battle ground," said Rep. Mario Goico, R-Wichita and chairman of the Select Committee on Kansas Security.
The bill also creates a new felony of trespassing on a nuclear
generating facility with a prison sentence of up to 36 months.
Goico said the bill would give the Wolf Creek guards the same authority as military personnel if they were called out to defend the perimeter of the nuclear plant during time of heightened alert.
The guards would have the authority to detain intruders or shoot to kill them if they had reasonable belief that there was a threat to the plant or its personnel.
Democrats said the bill went too far in giving the plant's operators too much immunity from liability, saying they should be held accountable for properly screening, hiring and training their guards.
As you were, cadet
"The term justified is not a term of art in the legal world," said Rep. Paul Davis, D-Lawrence.
Guards would be held harmless only in circumstances spelled out in the law, said Rep. Carl Krehbiel, R-Moundridge, and failure to provide proper training would be grounds for civil action.
However, legislators said they didn't want a situation where terrorists could launch an attack and then turn around and file a lawsuit against Wolf Creek's operators and guards for defending the plant.

EPA eliminates gas additive
BY ERICA WERNER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — States no longer will have to add corn-based ethanol or MTBE to gasoline to fight pollution
— a requirement that costs as much as 8 cents a gallon — under rules announced Wednesday by the Environmental Protection Agency.
They eliminate a mandate from the 1990 Clean Air Act that gasoline used in metropolitan areas with the worst smog contain 2 percent oxygen by weight. The law did not say which oxygenate must be used, but most refiners use either ethanol or methyl tertiary butyl ether, known as MTBE.
California, New York and Connecticut unsuccessfully had asked the EPA for a waiver of the requirement because the states had banned MTBE after
finding it polluted the ground-water. The states were forced to use ethanol, which they contended worsened pollution problems.
In denying the waiver request, most recently in June, the EPA said the states had not shown that using an oxygenate had prevented or interfered with their ability to meet federal air standards. Some officials in the states contended the denial was political because ethanol production is a boon to corn growers in the Midwest.
The rules announced Wednesday put in place a part of the energy bill President Bush signed in August that did away with the 2 percent oxygenate requirement.
"The federal requirement has forced California's refiners to use an oxygenate even though they can make cleaner-burning gasoline without MTBE or ethanol," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. "The announcement means that California refiners will finally be allowed to make gasoline that is cleaner burning than what they are making today."
The rules will take effect nationwide on May 6 and in California 60 days after their publication in the federal register, which should happen within the next three months, said EPA spokesman John Millett. California has a different status under clean air laws than the rest of the country because of the state's pollution problems.
Parts of more than a dozen states fall under the 2 percent oxygenate requirement, according to the EPA, while others use oxygenates voluntarily. Nationwide, about 30 percent of gasoline contains oxygenates.
The states required to use oxygenates in certain areas are: California, Connecticut, New York, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia.
Oxygenate additives on average increase the price for gasoline by 4 cents to 8 cents per gallon, the EPA estimates. But the agency says the benefits include at least 100,000 tons per year fewer smog pollutants nationally, equivalent to the tailpipe emissions of 16 million vehicles.
Refineries now have other ways to blend cleaner-burning fuel that will allow states to achieve clean air benefits without using oxygenates, the EPA says, though states still can use oxygenates if they choose.

OUR OPINION
Funeral protest bill isn't worth the fuss
The Rev. Fred Phelps' funeral protests, a staple of his church's bashing of homosexuals, are under fire from the Legislature. The senate is considering a bill to ban picketing within 300 feet of funerals.
Phelps has been protesting funerals of soldiers who died in Iraq, carrying signs that imply their deaths were punishment for America's tolerance of gays and lesbians. He and his followers have done the same at funerals of people who died from complications of AIDS.
What might seem like an act of good intentions is actually a knee-jerk reaction to Phelps' antics. What he does is vile, disrespectful and cruel.
People don't like to think that someone would picket their funeral, and it's easy to empathize with the families who have had the misery of seeing Phelps during such a difficult time.
But what makes this country great is that people like Phelps have the right to broadcast their vile, disrespectful and cruel ideas.
Protection of free speech includes all kinds of speech, most importantly the kind we disagree with the most. The outrageous behavior of one person or group, no matter how vile, disrespectful or cruel, isn't enough to change the laws
And if we take away Phelps right to protest the funerals of soldiers or AIDS victims, we lose

the right to picket his funeral.
The way to show disapproval of Phelps' actions without jeopardizing the sanctity of free speech would be to show up at his funeral and protest.
PAGE 5A
Whenever society tries to quell the speech of people because it doesn't like that speech, we forget that such is the point of free speech.
2 Live Crew, an early '90s hip-hop group whose lyrics were seen as too vulgar and too lewd, had its music censored.
After fighting to continue doing shows, the group released a song about its freedom of speech in the United States called "Banned in the USA."
In the song, Luther Campbell delivers a monologue about the beauty of free speech:
"So all you right-wingers, left-wingers, bigots, communists / There is a place for you in this world / Because this is the land of the free, the home of the brave."
No matter how much we detest Phelps' speech, he is included in that list too.

that is run nonstop on Al-Jazeera and in the world media, there are several schools being built, many water pumps being installed or repaired and hundreds of thousands of service members who conduct themselves every day in accordance with the highest standards of honor and duty. These members of the military do this for months at a time even though they routinely go without what we consider basic comforts. They are continually put into stressful situations that make the stress that we all experience during finals week look like a Sundav stroll.
All of this being said, the next time you hear someone say, "Well, I support the troops, but. . .," and then go into a tide about how screwed up Iraq is, I encourage you to remind them that it's not George Bush or Dick Cheney out there manning the front lines in Iraq. Our military should not be judged by the horrible example of a tiny minority among their ranks. Remind them to look at the big picture and the amazing progress that our military is making throughout Iraq.
COMMENTARY
- Goetting is a Leavenworth senior in political science and East Asian language and culture.
Just about everyone says they support the troops, but in their words and actions, they don't. Take for instance the release of video this past week that showed British soldiers beating and taunting Iraqi teenagers. This incident, while definitely not representative of British or other Coalition Forces in Iraq, has already been taken up by demagogues, both on the political right and left, as further proof that the United States and its coalition should withdraw from Iraq because they are only making matters worse. This view, however, is deeply flawed.
To demonstrate this, let's look at recent events here in Lawrence. It hasn't been that long since Jason Allen Rose burned down an apartment complex and killed three innocent people. One could generalize that because there is such a heinous person living in Lawrence, then a lot of people living here must be crazy arsonists. But this isn't the case. It's not even close.
Another even more recent example is the shooting that occurred in front of The Granada. Despite the fact that neither of the two victims were from Lawrence and the fact that the Lawrence Journal-World quoted Lawrence Police Chief Ron Olin as saving.
JOSHUA GOETTING opinion@kansan.com
PETER BARNARD
As anyone can see, this line of logic just doesn't hold. Nevertheless, there are many who point to incidents like the torturing of prisoners at the Abu Gharib prison as examples of how counterproductive the military is in Iraq and how our military presence is the scourge of Iraqi existence.
"Most of the leads are not in the city of Lawrence," many people have declared Lawrence to be dangerous and unsafe. Some out-of-towners (from Topeka and Kansas City no less) have even said that they will not be frequenting Lawrence bars because of concerns for their safety. Now I realize that this is preaching to the choir, but for someone from Topeka be concerned about how violent bars are in Lawrence because of an isolated incident is almost like people in Minnesota worrying about how snow will fall in Texas this year.

Sometimes mistakes happen
A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
Tragic as it may be, and as much as we regret it, mistakes creep into the Kansan on an almost daily basis. It happened Wednesday and it's happened more than a dozen times so far this semester.
When I was little, my mom told me something that I am reminded of every day as a journalist:
Mistakes happen.
The article about a speech on Wilt Chamberlain — to be delivered by Aram Goudsouzian
— contained the wrong date. The article said the speech was Wednesday — the day the story ran — when in fact, the speech is tonight. A correction ran on page 3A today.
The fact is, however, that we can never really undo the damage of an error. We can correct it online and print a correction, but nothing more is possible. A newspaper is a snapshot of life as we think it is at the moment
of publication. It's the major disadvantage of this medium, in relation to the Internet and broadcast.
Students with classes, relationships, jobs and problems just like all of you. The only difference between these students and you is that they have volunteered to put their homework in front of all of your eyes.
Reality is that, as much as we hold ourselves to the same standard as newspapers produced with full time staffs of trained journalists, the Kansan is produced by students.
make mistakes. The Kansas City Star, the largest paper in the area, corrected 582 stories, graphics or photo captions, 1.6 corrections per issue.
As long as you keep telling us about mistakes, we'll keep correcting them. Remember, though, next time you pick up that not-so-excellent Western Civ paper, at least it's not being published.
The Kansan has run 14 corrections so far this semester in 20 issues.
If you'll take a moment to consider what this means, you'll realize what a risk this is. I doubt many students would be interested in having their CHEM 184 lab assignment or their MATH 121 assignment posted around campus.
Mistakes happen, and they happen in the Kansan almost once per issue. We hate every single one of them and we strive to avoid them, but, as hard as we try, they'll keep sneaking in.
But even with that caveat, the reality is that papers with full-time, fully trained staff still

Porn bill taxes average Joe
COMMENTARY
A
COURTNEY FARR opinion@kansan.com
An army of strippers and sexual deviants needs to beat down the legislature's door with giant dildos.
It's time to take a stand. The Kansas Legislature wants to tax our porn and sex toys.
A bill before the House Tax Committee proposes to slap a sin tax of 10 percent on adult entertainment businesses, like strip clubs and adult video stores.
Legislators want to tie a direct link between these businesses and crime. By doing so they can claim that the tax is paying for damages caused to communities by pornography and adult entertainment.
No solid consensus supports that claim, though. If you want to believe that the connection exists, there are studies just for you. If you don't see the link, there are reports to back you up also. There are even a couple of international studies that say more porn decreases sex crimes.
For decades, moral crusaders have believed that porn causes violent sexual crime.
This isn't really about crime, though. It's about money. Adult entertainment is a multi-billion-dollar business, and politicians want their piece of the porm pie.
Anti-porn activist Phillip Cosby of Abilene testified to the committee last week that the rate should be increased to 25 percent. At that rate, he said, the revenue could be worth 20 to 40 million dollars. Representatives expect the bill to go to a vote before Feb. 25.
The state badly needs more money to run its ballooning sexual predator program.
Legislators think they have found the ultimate prize: A publicly-popular tax. It's a great strategy with a multi-pronged attack.
Who wants to defend the porn industry and its customers? No elected official is going to stand up and sav that taxing porn is unfair.
There is already a built-in support base. Moral and religious groups will flock to the cause as a new way to attack an old enemy.
If you love porn, call your representative and let them know how you feel. Our kind of love may not always be free, but it can be tax free.
Finally, by framing the debate around sex crimes, average citizens will jump on the bandwagon to protect their children from the sefiends. A multi-million-dollar tax with widespread public support — like I said, brilliant.
A violent and dangerous minority can be found in many groups, but we don't use that as an excuse to slap outrageous taxes on them. Eco-terrorists burn government buildings, but I don't see any taxes on hemp necklaces and trail mix.
These politicians are ignoring the fact that the vast majority of people who watch porn, visit strip clubs and use sex toys are perfectly normal and healthy individuals who don't rape or molest people.
This kind of minority approach to selective taxation is ridiculous

"They had more heart," she said. "They wanted it a lot tonight."
That did not translate into results on the court for Kansas, which has been plagued with a variety of troubles, including:
Inability to roll off picks
Hability to kill on preps
The shot that put the game out of reach for the Cornhuskers was created when Hardy ran off a pick, eluding her defender.
"That's the you can do defensively," Henrickson said.
Hardy was able to victimize senior guard Kaylee Brown, then make the uncontested long ball to put the 'Huskers up three. They didn't look back.

Lack of freshman production
During the second half, both senior guard Erica Hallman and sophomore forward Taylor McIntosh had to be stretched out.
Kansas' seniors scored 45 of the 57 points. Junior guard Sharita Smith had two, and the freshmen had 10.
Across the state, the Kansas State Wildcats have already found three starters in a recruiting class of four, which came entirely from the Midwest.
Reliance on Kemp
Junior guard Shaquina Mosley was suspended from the team earlier this week, she was not in attendance at the game.
It's just kind of disappointing to know that we've lost what we had at the beginning of the season. We've got four games left to get it right."
"If you give good effort, I don't think fatigue has anything to do with it," Kemp said. "I'm out there giving it my all the whole time."
Kemp is a terrific player, but when she was unable to score for the final 12 minutes, Kansas' offense went down as well.
Of Henrickson's recruiting class of six, only one, freshman guard Ivana Catic, has cracked the starting lineup.
"We don't have enough kids who can step up and make

"Its just kind of disappointing to know that we've lost what we had at the beginning of the season," Kemp said. "We've got four games left to try to get it right."
The 12-0 start to the season seems distant, and all the Jayhawks can do is wait for another chance to prove themselves in the Big 12 Conference.
"I'm crazy enough to think we can win out," Henrickson said.
After what this team has been through in the last six weeks, nothing seems unbelievable anymore.
— Edited by Cynthia Hernandez
Cornhuskers guard Kiera Hardy opened the game with three three-pointers in less than four minutes as Nebraska opened up an early 11-4 lead. Hardy nailed open shots early and often against a Kansas defense struggling to find its rhythm in conference play.
Defense
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A
Henrickson quickly inserted junior guard Sharita Smith to try to stop Hardy. Smith was responsible for holding the speedy Hardy to 10 points, after she scored nine in the first four minutes.
"She's just active. She's the closest thing we had to Aqua last year." Henrickson said, referring to former Jayhawk Aquanita Burras. "She can bother an offensive player."
Kansas (14-9, 3-9) never seemed to gain momentum in the game, especially when it mattered most in the second half. Nearly every threepoint shot by senior guard Kaylee Brown was matched by Nebraska guards.
Brown's three-point shot midway through the half appeared to give Kansas the momentum along with a four-point lead, its largest of the game. Instead, Nebraska's TK LaFleur answered with her own three that set off a six-to-nothing run in the next three minutes.
"Of course it's a momentum killer," Brown said of the Nebraska run. "It's just poor defense on our part."
Once again, senior forward Crystal Kemp was dominant in the paint for most of second half, scoring on four straight possessions. Nebraska, however, shut Kemp down in the final eight minutes, holding her scoreless for the rest of the game. With Kemp struggling to get the ball, it was up to Kansas' streaky shooting guards to knock down jump shots. Unfortunately for Kansas, it would only make three field goals in the final eight minutes of the game.
"We struggled to find another offensive weapon outside of that," Henrickson said. "Their third and fourth options took

OLYMPICS
U.S. advances to relay final
Ohno leads team to victory in semifinals, Italy also advances
BY PAUL NEWBERRY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURIN, Italy — Apolo Anton Ohno managed to stay out of trouble. With no medals on the line, that's all he needed to do.
Ohno shook off a disappointing start to the Turin Olympics by leading the Americans into the relay final with a vintage short track performance Wednesday night: He put his team out front with a gutsy pass of two skaters and gave an emphatic pump of the fist when he crossed the finish line ahead of everyone else in the chaotic 5,000-meter race.
He also advanced comfortably from the preliminary heats of the 1,000 — an expected result, but one that couldn't be taken for granted after Ohno's mishap on the first night of short track.
The 23-year-old skating star cost himself a chance to defend his Olympic title in the 1,500 with a boneheaded move in the semifinals. Already in position to advance, Ohno bumped the leader in a turn, wobbled and bobbled before regaining his balance, and wound up missing the final.
"It was just total instincts," Ohno said. "I just let it go."
"I know what happened."
Ohno said. "Everybody knows what happened. I had to come out strong."
The only gold medal Wednesday went to China's Wang Meng, who fulfilled the role of overwhelming favorite in the women's 500. The 20-year-old Wang, competing in her first Olympics, led from the opening gun and held off Bulgaria's Evgenia Radanova by the length of her right blade.
Radanova also won silver in
the 500 at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games and has three Olympic medals in all. Canada's Anouk LeBlanc-Boucher earned the bronze.
Ohno won a gold and a silver at the last Olympics, and he hopes to lead the men's relay team to its first medal since 1994.
He took control of the semis with one dynamic move, shifting into a higher gear that sent him careening around skaters from China and Italy with 30 laps to go. The crowd let out a gasp, then erupted in cheers at the sight of the soul-patched skater moving so effortlessly from third to first.
China and the Americans swapped the top spot a couple of times before Smith grabbed it for good, then passed off to Ohno for the finishing kick. The leaders didn't have to push themselves too hard after skaters from Japan and Italy wiped out with 21 laps to go, leaving them far behind.
"It was the right move at the right time. It was perfect," said Rusty Smith, one of Ohno's teammates. "They slowed down a little bit, and we took advantage of it."
"It's awesome for me and Apolo to make another Olympic final together," Smith said. "We've been in this sport for a long time, and neither one of us has gold in relay. We have at least one more final in us."
The top two teams in each semifinal advanced to the final, which will be held Feb. 25, the day before the games end. Italy also got in when Japan was disqualified for Takahiro Fujimoto's reckless pass in the turn, which sent him and Yuri Confortola spiraling into the boards.

BY STEPHEN WADE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURIN, Italy — Medal favorites Sweden, Canada and the Czech Republic started with victories Wednesday on the opening day of Olympic hockey. But Russia, a team that is always a factor, stumbled against Slovakia and the U.S. could only manage a tie against Latvia.
Eric Risberg/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The United States' Chris Drury, left, collides with Latvia's goalie Arturs Irbbe during the third period of Wednesday's Winter Olympics men's ice hockey game in Turin, Italy. The game ended in 3-3 tie.
Eric Risberg/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sweden and Canada picked up identical 7-2 wins. Playing without injured center Peter Forsberg, Sweden overwhelmed Kazakhstan in Group B. In Group A, defending champion Canada beat Italy — the only team of 12 without an NHL player on the roster.
Marian Gaborik scored two goals in the final four minutes, leading Slovakia 5-3 over Russia in Group B.
The Czechs, 1998 Olympic champions, struggled to defeat Germany 4-1 in Group A and suffered a blow when goalie Dominik Hasek had to leave the game after 9 1/2 minutes with an injured left hamstring.
In another Group A game, Finland defeated Switzerland 5-0. The Americans drew a 3-3 tie against Latvia in the day's last game — a hugely disappointing result for the U.S.
When the final horn sounded, the Latvian players raised their arms in triumph while
the Americans slowly gathered around goalie John Grahame.
"We were not expected to win or even get the tie," said former NHL goalie Arturs Itrbe, who made 39 saves — 18 in the third period — for Latvia. "We were big-time underdogs in this game in everybody's eyes except our
own people.
"You can say that this probably means more to us than to the American team."
For Sweden, Minnesota Wild defenseman Daniel Tjarnqvist led the team with two goals, which matched his total for the entire NHL season. Sweden
also got goals from twin brothers Henrik and Daniel Sedin, Daniel Alfredsson, P.J. Axelsson and Mats Sundin.
Forsberg will sit out Thursday's game against Russia with a groin injury, and will be evaluated Friday. And there's a chance he won't play at all.

Hedrick won't match record after U.S. loss
BY BETH HARRIS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURIN, Italy — One teammate didn't show up, another couldn't keep up. And not even Chad Hedrick could do it alone.
ing Hedrick's hope of matching Eric Heiden's record five gold medals in a Winter Olympics.
"The five medals isn't a big thing." Hedrick said. "The most important thing for me right now is to go out and have fun. Things could be a lot worse right now."
Already the owner of one gold medal, Hedrick was hoping to get started on another Wednesday in the two-day team pursuit. But the Americans were eliminated in the quarterfinals, dash-
Shani Davis skipped the pursuit to concentrate on his individual races, leaving Hedrick as the strongest skater on the three-man team.
"I can't think what might have
been with Shani there," Hedrick said. "We had a team with good skaters. ... They all went out there and gave their hearts and tried their best.
"There's no one to blame."
Hedrick, KC Boutiette and Charles Ryan Leville lost to the Italian team of Matteo Anesi, Stefano Donagrandi and Enrico Fabris by nearly a half-second after leading through the first four laps.
Boutiette couldn't keep up
with his younger teammates,
lagging about 10 feet behind when Leveille and Hedrick were first across the finish line. The Italians crossed together, giving them the victory on home ice.
A team wins when its third skater crosses the line.
The American women didn't fare much better.
Jennifer Rodriguez, Maria Lamb and Catherine Raney were eliminated from medal contention in the six-lap quarterfinals.

NCAA to rule on coach's violations
BY ERICA RYAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State, awaiting a decision on possible penalties for NCAA rules violations under former basketball coach Jim O'Brien, could have to pay him millions of dollars for firing him under a judge's ruling Wednesday.
O'Brien claimed the university improperly fired him in June 2004 for loaning $6,000 of his own money to a recruit.
Ohio Court of Claims Judge
Joseph T. Clark ruled O'Brien broke his contract by giving the loan and failing to inform university officials, but the error was not serious enough to warrant firing. The university violated the contract by firing him without compensation, the ruling said.
The 55-year-old O'Brien sued for $3.5 million in lost wages and benefits. The award, which could reach nearly $9.5 million, will be determined after another hearing.
O'Brien said he was pleased
with the decision, but disappointed in the way the dispute had to be settled.
The NCAA is expected to decide within the next few weeks whether to penalize the school for violations committed during O'Brien's tenure. Earlier this month, the NCAA found seven violations in the basketball program and one each in the football and women's basketball programs.
O'Brien, who coached the Buckeyes for seven years and led them to the Final Four in
1999, testified he gave $6,000 in $50 and $100 bills to Aleksandar Radojevic, a 7-foot-3 prospect from Serbia. He said he gave the loan in 1999 because the player's father was dying and the family had no money for medicine or the funeral.
O'Brien argued the loan did not violate NCAA bylaws because he knew Radojevic already had lost his amateur status by playing professionally.
Radojevic never played for the Buckeyes because the NCAA declared him ineligible
for accepting about $9,000 to play for a team in his native country. University attorneys said the loan broke NCAA rules and O'Brien's contract because Radojevic hadn't yet been ruled ineligible.
In his lawsuit, O'Brien contended he was fired before an investigation had determined if he had violated his contract by breaking NCAA rules. A provision of his contract said the NCAA had to rule on alleged violations before he could be fired for that reason.
OLYMPICS
Downturn of events for speed skater Ohno
TURIN, Italy — Apolo Anton Ohno managed to stay out of trouble. With no medals on the line, that's all he needed to do.
"It was just total instincts," Ohno said. "I just let it go."
Ohno shook off a disappointing start to the Turin Olympics by leading the Americans into the relay final with a vintage short track performance Wednesday night: He put his team out front with a gutsy pass of two skaters and gave an emphatic pump of the fist when he crossed the finish line ahead of everyone else in the chaotic 5,000-meter race.
He also advanced comfortably from the preliminary heats of the 1,000 — an expected result, but one that couldn't be taken for granted after Ohno's mishap on the first night of short track.
The 23-year-old skating star cost himself a chance to defend his Olympic title in the 1,500 with a boneheaded move in the semifinals. Already in position to advance, Ohno bumped the leader in a turn, wobbled and bobbled before regaining his balance, and wound up missing the final.

NFL
Haslett heads to Rams as defensive coach
One frustrating day as a television analyst convinced Jim Haslett he wanted another NFL coaching job.
Haslett was hired as defensive coordinator by new St. Louis Rams coach Scott Linehan about three weeks after he got fired by the New Orleans Saints. During the break, Haslett tried TV work during Super Bowl week but was dismayed that it took 5 1-2 hours to finish a 1-hour show for FoxSports.

Golfer says so far he is 'not at his best stuff'
BY DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Tiger Woods has a couple of streaks going in opposite directions.
The one getting most of the attention is his 2-0 start to 2006, playoff victories in the Buick Invitational and the Dubai Desert Classic that take expectations even higher. The last time he started off a year with two victories was in 2000, which has become his benchmark for dominance.
Making it three in a row means getting rid of another streak that is getting under his skin.
Woods is 0-10 at the Nissan Open, a record that dates to his PGA Tour debut as a 16-year-old amateur when he missed the cut. His record has improved only slightly since he turned professional, although the Nissan Open remains the only PGA Tour event he has played more than three times as a pro without winning.
"I just haven't played my best golf at the right time," Woods said Wednesday. "I've played some good golf, but not my best stuff. And this track, you've got to hit the ball well. You just can't get away with hitting it poorly around here and expect to win."
Not that he hasn't come close.
Woods is part of an All-Star collection of players in the hunt in 1999, the year Ernie Els pulled away from Woods, Davis Love III, David Duval and Nick Price to win by two shots.
Woods needed a birdie on the 18th hole to force a playoff, but piped a 3-iron into a beer tent and made bogey.
Even when Woods was at his best - 2000 comes to mind
Riviera knocked him down. He had a stretch from the end of 1999 to the spring of 2000 in which he finished first or second in 10 out of 11 events. The exception, of course, was the Nissan Open, where he tied for 18th.
His next chance starts Thursday, and if his winless streak at his hometown tournament is weighing heavily, Woods isn't saying.
"You don't ever try to force a win," he said. "You just take it as a process. It's 72 holes. You take it a shot at a time, and hopefully at the end of the
One assumption seems safe -- that it will be 72 holes.
week, you're on top."
A year ago, players spent five days at Riviera and managed to squeeze in only 36 holes because of rain that turned the fairways into swamps and gave bunkers the literal meaning of "beach." Adam Scott and Chad Campbell were tied for the lead, didn't play Sunday and returned Monday morning for a playoff, which Scott won on the first extra hole.
Because it was only 36 holes, it did not count as an official victory.
CollegeBaseballInsider.com named senior outfielder Gus Milner its co-National Player of the Week on Wednesday.
Milner slugs his way to national recognition
BASEBALI
North Carolina State sophomore third baseman Matt Mangini was the other selection.
Margaret was the first Milner was also named Big 12 Player of the Week on Tuesday. The Olathe senior was a double shy of the cycle on Sunday against Stanford.
On the season, he has a slugging percentage of 1.000,.545 batting average, three home runs and 16 RBI in eight games.

Recruit named High School All-American
Kansas signee Kelly Kohn was named honorable mention for the 2006 High School All-America game.
The top 20 girls high school basketball players are selected to play in the game, with an additional 20 chosen as honorable mention. The Women's Basketball Coaches Associated selected the awards.
Kohn is a 5-foot-9-inch guard from Adrian, Mich, where she plays at Adrian High School. Through 15 games this season, she averages 24.1 points a game.
She chose Kansas over New Mexico, Pittsburgh, Bowling Green and Louisville, according to the Lenawee Daily Telegram.
The Big 12 north has only one player on the team, Yvonne Turner of Bellevue, Neb. Turner has committed to Nebraska for
the season.
Kohn is one of seven players Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson has recruited for next season.

NASCAR Championship still in sight after poor year
People clapped and yelled to the four-time NASCAR champion, but Gordon kept talking to Letarte.
Jeff Gordon walked along pit road at Daytona International Speedway with crew chief Steve Letarte, oblivious to the fans around him.
"I was just telling Steve that I think we're going in the right direction here," Gordon said, grinning. "I just reminded him not to let any of the outside stuff bother him."
Gordon is coming off perhaps the most disappointing year of his career, struggling through the middle of the 2005 season and failing to qualify for the playoff-style Chase for the championship.
After winning three of the first nine races a year ago, including his third Daytona 500, Gordon's season crumbled.
Starting with the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Gordon is intent on making a run at another title this year
At 34, the driver that Dale Earnhardt once dubbed "Wonder Boy" should be entering the prime of his career. Gordon is coming off perhaps the most disappointing year of his career, struggling through the middle of the 2005 season and failing to qualify for the playoff-style Chase for the championship.
Starting with the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Gordon is intent on making a run at another title this year.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Game lost, but lesson learned
BY RYAN COLAIanni rcolaianni@kansan.com KANSAN SENIOR SWITTERWRITER
Christian Moody wants another chance to be on the free-throw line with the game hanging in the balance.
The senior forward clearly remembers the two potential game-winning free throws he missed against Missouri in mid-January.
"You think about it every time you step up to the free-throw line," Moody said. "Every time, I think I need to get better at this, so if I am ever in that situation again, I can put a couple in."
Moody said the misses haunted him for a while, but with time, the anguish had eased. Senior guard Jeff Hawkins remembers Moody's attitude following the tough loss.
"His confidence was low. He was in a tough position," Hawkins said. "We're just a big family here, and I think that helped him. I told him it wasn't his fault."
While Missouri won the overtime thriller, the two teams could not have gone in more opposite directions since the game. Missouri lost six of seven, and coach Quin Snyder resigned last week.
Kansas on the other hand, has won eight straight, are nationally ranked, and are in sole possession of second place in the conference.
"We didn't lose our confidence even though we lost in terrible fashion. We feel like we got better playing at Mizzou." Kansas coach Bill Self said. "The guys really rallied around each other and have gotten pretty tough. They've really learned to enjoy each other and play together even more than they were before that game."
With Snyder out, Missouri is now led by former assistant Melvin Watkins. Self said he thought Watkins could make Missouri a difficult team to prepare for.
"I'm sure Melvin will do the majority of the things that they've been working on all year long," Self said. "Everybody has their own style, and he'll put his own twist on the team, which will make it more difficult for us."
A heartbreaking loss often causes teams to struggle afterward, but the Jayhawks have been resilient. They have used the loss as motivation.
"I do believe that at a time when a loss could have hurt us and done more damage than just that one game, the guys didn't allow that to happen," Self said.
The Tigers Thomas Gardner played a large part in Missouri's victory, scoring 40 points.
"I think we'll try to force him to take bad shots and limit his touches," Self said. "Hopefully, we'll do a better job collectively on him than we did last time. Last game, he was as good as anyone in America that particular night."

Expectations not met coach restricts players
Third-time loss not so charming for Kansas
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
mphillsips@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Six weeks ago, the Kansas women's basketball team defeated No. 23 Texas in Allen Fieldhouse to advance to 12-0. After the game, CSTV analyst Debbie Antonelli said she was convinced Kansas was for real.
What happened?
Since that game, the Jayhawks have won only two of 11 games. They lost 65-57 to the Nebraska Cornhuskers last night in Lawrence.
The team has gone from a 10-seed on ESPN's bracketology to an outsider looking into the women's NIT.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson has disciplined her players in an unorthodox way. After a 77-71 home loss to Colorado on Feb. 1, a game she described as the worst loss of the season, she kicked the players out of the locker room and banned them from wearing Kansas clothing.
"They can wear a high school T-shirt if they want to." Henrickson said, adding that anything that said Jayhawks must be turned inside out. "Obviously the message
Players are responsible for washing their own clothing and must change into workout clothes on their own before practice.
"That's a privilege," she said. "You earn those things by playing with pride."
Henrickson said she would continue to enforce the punishment as long as necessary, and said that if the message wasn't heard this year, it would be heard next year.
Last night did nothing to improve the players' standing with their coach. It was a chance for Kansas to break a losing streak against a Nebraska team that had won only two of its last nine games.
Nebraska guard Kiera Hardy noticed something different from Kansas that she hadn't seen when the two teams played in early January.
hasn't been heard real loud."

Defense problem for 'Hawks in conference
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
rschneider@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR.SPORTSWRIETER
Bonnie Henrickson knows the problem that's been plaguing her basketball team in Big 12 Conference play this season.
The hard part, however, is fixing it.
Kansas' defensive problems have been well-documented in conference play and showed up early in Wednesday night's 65-57 loss to Nebraska. Inability to communicate simple defensive switches between guards and post players led to numerous open shots for Nebraska players.
Kansas coach Henrickson said that when the team watched game film at practice, she "could push play and walk out."

A TEXAN'S TAKE
Out with the old, in with the new
As a senior at the University of Kansas, Aaron Miles, Keith Langford and Wayne Simien are household names to me.
I feel like I identify with these former Kansas basketball players. They provided my class with lasting memories, such as an NCAA championship appearance in 2003 and an Elite Eight appearance in 2004.
Fast forward to this season. Home losses to Nevada and Kansas State and a road loss against Missouri had me longing for those household names again. I wondered how long it would be until the fans would see a class that produced similar tournament memories.
Now after eight straight Big 12 Conference victories and a solidified starting lineup. I have my answer.
Kansas is now 7-0 in games in which it starts freshman guard Mario Chalmers, sophomore guard Russell Robinson, freshman guard Brandon Rush, freshman forward Julian Wright and sophomore center Sasha Kaun.
ERIC SORRENTINO
esorrentino@kansan.com
If this season's freshman class stays together, KU fans will never have to use Miles, Langford, Simien and Bucknell in the same sentence again.
Here's why:
Aaron Miles - meet Mario Chalmers.
keith Langford - meet Brandon Rush
The two point guards both accepted the role as the floor general of their respective teams as freshmen. Miles led Kansas to a Final Four appearance as a freshman in 2002. Chalmers is a better shooter than Miles and has better scoring capability. His 10.7 points per game as a freshman is already more than
Miles will always be remembered for his intensity on defense. Chalmers proved that he has just as much, if not more, intensity on defense. Last Saturday, he passed Miles on the list for the second-most steals in a season for a freshman, 61, against Iowa State.
These two guards possess the same highlight-reel capabilities with their slashing moves to the basket. Rush has already proven he can score just as well as Langford. Rush's 14.3 points per game in his first season is a tenth of a point off Langford's 14.4 points per game in his final season.
The only facet of Rush's game that is still lacking, as compared to Langford's, is the confidence to have the ball in his hands with the game on the line. Fans knew the ball would go to the fearless Langford at the end of regulation if the game was close. Rush has not yet proven that he's the go-to man with the game on the line.
Miles' 9.3 points per game as a senior.
Wayne Simien - meet Julian Wright
Wright has the advantage of more playing time as a freshman, something that Simien did not experience. As a freshman, Simien came off the bench to spell Drew Gooden and Nick Collison in limited minutes.
Despite making freshman mistakes on the court, Wright has incredible vision to find his teammates and makes brilliant passes. Being thrown into the mix early as a freshman will pay off for Wright in the long run.
If this trio stays together, they'll erase the fluke of Bucknell and restore basketball order to Lawrence in March. When that happens, look for the names Chalmers, Rush and Wright to replace Miles, Langford and Simien.

EDITOR'S NOTE
Driving time, for me, is synonymous with "panic time." I can neither read a map nor see well at night; I don't have a sense of fear.
sense of direction (never mind a good one); and both depth perception and timing are serious challenges. I devise ways to stay out of the driver's seat.
Needless to say, I've never been really in to
cars. I'm still driving (when I have to) the '94 Oldsmobile that I got used from Grandma in 2000, and
I don't have a desire to replace it. I think of cars as a means to get from A to B and a venue for wretched solo singing, and that's
about it. The extent of my vehicular decorating is a rosary on the rear-view mirror (I need all the help I can get) and some red scratches on the front right from an unfortunate 2002 incident in McCollum's
parking lot involving a parked car. So I was impressed with the tremendous investment the men
in Fred A. Davis Ill's article have made in their wheels, I never would have thought to put shiny stuff on my car to symbolize wealth, status and hard work. But now I know it makes an effective (albeit obnoxious) statement. And they earned it, too.
Love them or fear them, a car is more than just wheeled metal that gets you around — it's representative of its owner.
Which makes me, evidently, as cool as a mid-90s grandma.

Is a bone stuck in your teeth? Did you eat something you can't bring yourself to swallow? The general rule for removing food from your mouth is that it should go out the same way it went in, so drop the bones from your mouth on to a fork. Fish bones are a little different. It is acceptable to remove tiny bones with your fingers, since it would be more difficult to drop them onto a fork. If what you have to spit out is far uglier than bones, such as a fatty piece of meat, slyly spit it into your napkin to keep it out of sight.

COMFORT FOOD FOR THOUGHT
by Erin Wisdom
KIT LEFFLEF
Your soft spot for mashed potatoes may be more complex than you think.
When Lauren Taylor, Oklahoma City senior, misses home or is stressed about school, she finds solace in chicken enchilada casserole with green chills. It's a dish her mom makes and, like any comfort food worth its calories in warm, tasty goodness, it has the ability to restore that sense of safety and protection she felt as a child.
Anyone who has a consistent, three-meal-a-day relationship with food knows it does more than meet physical needs. We were designed to enjoy food (which is fortunate, because otherwise the whole eating thing would get old), and food has an undeniable impact on mind, body and soul. But what determines the psychological effects of a food? In particular, what makes comfort food comforting? Research indicates that while people's comfort food preferences tend to be similarly rooted in positive experiences, these preferences may vary greatly between younger and older people and between men and women.
What is a comfort food?
The quality that makes a food
comforting is a perfect blend of physiological benefits like fat, sugar and salt, and specific psychological benefits a person has come to associate with that food, says Brian Wansink director of the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University. Contrary to popular belief, a significant portion (40 percent) of common comfort foods are healthy, and preferences for these foods do not have to be formed as children. Many can be formed as adults, Wansink says — all it takes is repeated positive associations.
Certain comfort foods, such as soup, seem to be consistent throughout North American culture, says Karen Ciancio, creator of www.cookingnook.com. We most often seek these foods when we are at either end of the emotional spectrum — when we are distressed and want foods like chili and biscuits, or when we feel the need to celebrate and want cookies and ice cream, she says.
"Most of the time we're in the middle of the spectrum, eating salad," Clancio says. "But a salad doesn't cut it when we're exceptionally happy or exceptionally sad."
The buzz factor
Young people tend to have more of a hankering for snack-related comfort foods than older people do, Wansink found in a 2003 study published in the journal *Physiology and Behavior*. Snack foods, such as potato chips, ice cream and cookies, tend to be high in flavor, and these flavor-saturated food appeals to the sensory-oriented 18-to-34 age group, he says.
Older people, he found, were more likely to prefer meal-related comfort foods, such as steak and casseroles.
"They get a greater buzz from them," Wansink says.
More than PMS
Women do seem to be more drawn to chocolate than men, but perhaps not entirely for hormonal reasons. In his study, Wansink found that while men tended to prefer meal-related comfort foods, woman preferred ones that were snack-related.
This may be because men tend to be accustomed to having meals prepared for them and therefore associate meal-related foods with being cared for, he says. But women
tend to associate these foods with work and therefore find comfort in foods that require little preparation, like snack foods. If gender roles in regard to meal preparation are to become less defined, comfort food preferences might change dramatically. More people would associate meal-related foods with work, which would make them less popular, Wansink says.
It's the little things that count
Unlike a majority of the people in Wansink's study,Devin Airey,Overland Park freshman, grew up having her dad cook for her. Dishes he made, such as chicken and dumplings and a special green bean dish,top her list of comfort foods. Not only do these foods say home to her, but they also remind her of her dad having meals ready when she would come home from work past dinner time.
"My dad is really understanding of what my life is like and how hard it is, so it's good to be taken care of sometimes," Alirey says. "Food may seem like the least of my worries, but it's the little things that count."
Check out these survey results to see how your favorite comfort foods ranked in popularity among more than 400 people.

NEXT TIME THE HICCUPS ARE PLAGUING YOU, TRY THESE UNCONVENTIONAL SOLUTIONS:
• Tuq forcefully on your tongue.
• Raise your uvula (hangy ball at the back of your mouth) with a spoon.
• Tickle the roof of your mouth with a cotton swab at the point where the hard and soft palates meet.
• Chew dry bread and swallow.
Always remember that it could be worse. Charles Osborne of Anthon, Iowa got the hiccups in 1922 and couldn't stop until 1987.

86-ING YOUR INK
How to fight that hideous acne
COVERALL
by Jason Shaad
SCOTT KASERMAN
Tara Gilliland was terrified. She wasn't worried about her family or her life or anything that would strike others as particularly important. But considering her fear of needles, it's easy to understand why Gilliland was so jittery: she was getting her first tattoo.
With her younger brother along for support, she quelled her fears. After half an hour of feeling like someone was scraping a metal fork across her left hip, Gilliland had her first tattoo: a four-leaf clover the size of a half-dollar coin.
Then she really freaked out.
"I thought, 'What did I do? When I'm 80 years old I'm going to regret this,'" says the Huntsville, Ala., graduate student. "I didn't know what to do."
Although there are a lot worse things to have permanently inked on your body for the rest of your life — like a piece of Swiss cheese or an ex-boyfriend's name — even the tamest tattoos can become unidesirable over time. Long-sleeved clothes and make-up are only temporary solutions to a permanent problem. For students who really regret their ill-fated ink there is only one solution: surgical tattoo removal.
Laser removal
Anything procedure involving a laser in it may make long-sleeved clothes suddenly more appealing. But it shouldn't. Laser removal is an effective and relatively painless way to remove tattoos, says Robert Dinsdale, a surgical doctor at Lawrence Otolaryngology Associates.
After anesthetic cream is applied and gauze placed over it, a small laser traces around the tattoo. Energy from the laser enters the ink pigment and breaks apart its structure. The body's scavenger cells then clean out the ink as the skin heals, which takes about six weeks.
The entire process shouldn't hurt anymore than getting the tattoo in the first place, Dinsdale says.
"it's like a hard rubber band snap and then like a sunburn afterwards," he says.
The length of each laser session and the number of times it has to be repeated depends on the tattoo's size and number of colors. Red and yellow need one type of laser; blue, green and black require another.
And almost every kind of tattoo requires more than one session because the laser doesn't lift ink out of the skin, but merely makes it fade. Dinsdale says.
"We can't guarantee there is no ink," he says. "But we can get to a point where the image isn't discernable as an image anymore."
Cut it out
If blasting a laser at your skin multiple times doesn't sound appealing, excision is a quicker (although equally intimidating) way to remove small tattoos. It's also the only way to guarantee that all the ink is gone.
Excision involves cutting out the tattooed area. For small tattoos, excision requires only one visit to the surgeon.
Still, many people prefer to explain a scar than an embarrassing tattoo, says Lee Bittenbender, a dermatologist who has removed several dozen tattoos during his career.
The trade-off is scarring.Whereas laser removal may make the tattoo area blister for a few weeks, excision leaves behind a permanent scar.
Dermabrasion basically sands off a tattoo. The skin is firmed with a freezing refrigerant spray. Then a spinning diamond-capped fray, like the tip of a small, cylinder-shaped sander, grazes the tattoo.
Dermabrasion
"It treats a tattoo like a stain on a piece of wood," he says. "It's like using sandpaper to remove the stain." Bittenbender says.
During the process, the top layers of skin come off and so does some of the ink pigment. Like laser removal, dermabrasion relies on the body's scavenger cells to help remove ink pigment in a six-week healing process. During that time, your skin looks and feels like a rug burn, Bittenbender says.
After six weeks, you can repeat the process until the tattoo fades and you can forget about the time you decided you couldn't live without the supposed Japanese symbol for bravery inked across your shoulder.
Although tattoo removal is possible, doctors and tattoo artists alike agree that people who get tattoos should plan on having them forever.
Besides the added expense — $300 or more no matter how you do it — tattoo removal is akin to destroying a part of yourself, says Stacy Daugherty, owner and tattoo artist at Big Daddy Cadillac's tattoo and piercing, 16 E.8th St.
To Daugherty, tattoos are deeply personal, and although he understands that there are situations that warrant removal, he would never consider removing any of his own ink.
"it's kind of like abortion to me"
Daugherty says.
People shouldn't use tattoo
removal as a scapegoat for getting tattoos they're unsure about, he says.
Bittenbender agrees. Although most of his patients are in their 30s and 40s, Bittenbender advises students to avoid impulsive (and inebriated) decisions and to think long and hard about what they're going to permanently print on their bodies.
"I ask most people to tell me about their tattoos and it's amazing how many times their concluding remark is'and that was the stupidest thing I ever did," he says.
The final decision
For two days Gilliland thought maybe she had just made a stupid mistake. Her brother's friend was in the process of removing a tattoo he didn't like, and Gilliland wondered if maybe she should do the same.
"I thought, Oh my gosh. I'm not going to be able to afford to get this removed."
After two days, the freak-out ended and Gillianl came to terms with her tattoo. She realized she liked the clover. It represented her heritage and a bond to her brother, who got his first tattoo on the same day.
Now, Gilliland wouldn't even consider removing her tattoo.
"Since those first two days I haven't had any regrets," she says."I love it."

Romance meets the real world
When college graduations divide couples
No other day in the year highlights and celebrates relationships more than this past Tuesday's Valentine's Day. While couples shower each other with flowers, chocolates and other gifts, the singletons sit at home and loathe the holiday. However, there's one other group the rest of us don't seem to think about: couples separated by one person's graduation.
A study from Purdue University's Center for Studying Long Distance Relationships found that 25 percent of college students reported being in a
long-distance relationship and 78 percent reported having been in one at one time during their college career. But along with the new chapter of life that begins after graduation comes a world of difficulties. There are new experiences, new responsibilities and new meanings to everything. Just how do these students affected by graduation-separating relationships make them work when one partner has started a new chapter in life and the other is left behind?
The success of a relationship changed by graduation
depends on a variety of factors, including how long the couple has been in the relationship, future plans and how healthy the relationship is to begin with, says Frank DeSalvo, director of Counseling and Psychological Services.
"I think the issue really is about the nature of the relationship,not the geography," DeSalvo says.
There can be difficulties, he warns. For instance, in newer relationships, DeSalvo says he's seen graduates who couldn't move on and their partner felt left behind. People in longstanding relationships usually have made future plans and have designated regular meetings to help them be more successful, DeSalvo says.
"I think the issue really is about the nature of the relationship,not the geography,"
Frank DeSalvo, director of counseling and psychological services
Jamie Wilkerson, Omaha, Neb., senior says that having future plans with her graduated boyfriend made the relationship a little easier because there's an end to the separation in sight. But there still are challenges.
Wilkerson admits to getting into "stupid" arguments out of frustration that they can't be together.
The Center for the Study of Long Distance Relationships and DeSalvo attribute communication as the most important factor in maintaining a healthy relationship.The CAPS offices most often see couples who experience jealousy because communication is lacking and they do not feel confident in their partner's dedication to the relationship, DeSalvo says.
SCOTT KASERMAN
Wilkerson's approach? She and her boyfriend keep all lines of communication open, from instant messenger to talking on the phone about five times a day.
Despite the list of difficulties, there is no reason to fret. Relationships are not always doomed and do have positive aspects. For one, couples are forced to take a look at their relationship and find out
what they mean to each other, DeSalvo says. A long distance relationship also requires the couple to meet on a different emotional level that they may not have been used to or even had the opportunity to do while geographically together. Wilkerson says that, now, she and her partner don't take the time they have together for granted and enjoy being together that much more.
You must understand that the frustration is mutual and be patient with each other as well as with the relationship, Wilkerson says.
In order to keep the relationship healthy and working, you have to start with two emotionally healthy individuals, DeSalvo says. Both people involved in the relationship have to be independent individuals and in the relationship because they want to be, not because they need to be, he says.
Wilkerson offers one piece of advice: Have a little faith.
"Have faith in each other knowing that they love you just as much as you love them," she says.
"Overall, it's not about the geography. I see unhealthy regular relationships and healthy long-distance ones. It's really not the distance that is key, but the relationship itself." DeSalvo says.

I am a retired teacher. I was born in the United States and raised in New York City. After years of teaching, I decided to pursue a career as a teacher. I began my career as an elementary school teacher, where I taught math and英语. I then moved to middle school, where I taught history and geography. I continued to teach at high school, where I taught algebra and trigonometry. I also served as a substitute teacher for two years. I retired from the school in 2015.
HOW LONG SHOULD YOU KNOW PEOPLE BEFORE YOU TAKE A CRAP IN THEIR BATHROOM? STACIE, FRESHMAN
Jessica: I know a lot of people are anal-retentive (pun intended) about where they shit.They're picky poopers in other words, so it's cool if you're comfortable enough to drop your doodies off at someone else's pool.I think it depends on the relationship you have with the host or hostess, but it seems that there are definite implied rules, especially among females.If it's your boyfriend/girlfriend, and you're staying over regularly, I think you can drop your deuce there. An acquaintance? Hold it. A close friend? Sure. A co-worker? Hold it. Just remember, if you're gonna go through with it, make sure they've got air freshener, body spray or a "fart fan" switch.
Brian: I think when most of you read that question, you giggled. As funny as that was when you read it, nearly everyone will come across this situation at some point or another. Just evaluate your options. If you realize you have to go once you get to someone's place who you don't know, hit up the bathroom to be sure that nothing slips out while you're laughing hysterically at a drunken friend. If it's a fairly good friend, do your business like you own the place. I think a better question is."What do I do if there is no toilet paper?" Don't pull a Ben Stiller in Along Came Polly and use her hand-sewn towels, but be creative. Use the ads out of a magazine lying around, search for the end of the roll or, last and definitely least, if at a girl's place, look for a feminine product. While the thought might gross you out, it's definitely better than walking around with poopy pants all night.
MY BOYFRIEND HATES IT WHEN I GO OUT TO DRINK WITH MY FRIENDS (HE'S NOT A DRINKER), BUT I REALLY VALUE THAT TIME WITH THEM. WHAT COULD I DO TO MAKE HIM MORE COMFORTABLE WITH MY DRINKING EXCURSIONS?
— KARA, SENIOR
Brian: If you value that time specifically with your girl friends so much, you may want to invite them to AA with you in a few years. It's probably about time that you did something that your boyfriend wants to do, considering he's been putting up with your inebriated ass long enough. Just because you want to go out doesn't mean you should neglect his wants. Stop being selfish and think about the man. If you want the relationship, give in to your boyfriend. If you want the alcohol, stop breaking his heart and just end the relationship.
Jessica: Hey, guess what? Your boyfriend's a control freak. Either that or you're a boozehound. Either way, I think you should ask him what exactly he hates about it and decide if you think it's a valid reason or not. "Because you drive home drunk" falls under the category of valid. "Because you're having fun without me" does not. You guys have to have lives separate from each other. If Mr. Overprotective doesn't get that, and you know you're being reasonable and not neglecting him for time with your girls, leave him at home... permanently.
IF A BOY COMES IN YOU, IS IT SUPPOSED TO COME RIGHT BACK OUT AFTER FINISHING SEX?
Jessica: Uhh, have you been watching a lot of porn?
Because I'm pretty sure I saw that once in a porn. I don't believe the sentence is supposed to "come right back out" after you're done having sex unless you go straight to the bathroom afterwards. It does decide to come right

Baristas and brews
The over-caffeinated world of coffee houses and the truth behind the caramel macchiato
You roll over and hit the snooze button, finding it ridiculous that you could trust yourself to wake up at 8 a.m. You return to your slumber, hoping to finish your dream and never get out of bed. As you fade in and out of consciousness, you should know that there are people in Lawrence
who are already awake.
They're called barista and they're helping us all wake up.
"We have to be caffeinated before the rest of the world," says Heather Augustine, a barista at Z's Divine Espresso, 1800 E. 23rd St. Morning shifts start at 5:45 a.m., a time when most students don't even consider rolling over to hit the snooze button. And Valerie Baker, a barista at the other Z's Divine Espresso, 10 E. 9th St., often closes the shop around 11 p.m. on weeknights, when Mass Street is dark and vacant.
So why rise earlier than the sun and leave after it sets just to grind some beans? For one, there's a huge coffee-drinking

of Life barista.
A love of music seems to be a recurring and necessary theme for baristas. Each store has distinctive mixes to satisfy customers and maintain a comfortable upbeat environment. While Augustine answers a drive-thru order at Z's Divine Espresso, "Ob-la-di - Ob-la-da" begins playing. But their playlists have a broad range — from Old 97s and Patti Smith to Cake and Nirvana. Music is also a big part of the atmosphere at Signs of Life, 722 Mass. The shop features live folk music on Tuesday nights, Americana Jams on Wednesday nights and live local bands on Friday nights. The different groups bring in a wide variety of people, says Matt Cisneros, San Juan, Texas junior and Signs

Being surrounded by pounds of exotic roasts and gallons of specialty coffees adds to the job's appeal. In their down time, baristas get to experiment with syrups and espressos and create new drinks.

population in Lawrence and no two customers are the same. Baker says the job is a strong networking tool that allows her to meet interesting people, a bonus Kaki Baird, San Antonio sophomore, also enjoys.
"When I walk around on campus, I see at least 10 people that I [served] the night before," says the Java Break barista.
Baristas also get to work in a relaxed atmosphere with easygoing co-workers. It helps to have others sharing the workload, especially when your "office" is full of potential friends and experiences. For instance, over the past several years, Baker and a fellow barista have realized their mutual admiration for musician David Gray and they're planning a trip to see him perform in Texas in March.

Augustine says the job has helped her create quite an addiction. "Caffeine doesn't even affect me anymore." Augustine says, "I'm pretty sure it's in my pores, actually."
Baker can withstand a heavy dose of caffeine. "If I know I'm going out that night, I'll have six shots of espresso," she says of her stimulant of choice — the Rosetta espresso.
— the Rosetta espresso.
Despite the perks of the job, poor customer etiquette and cranky coworkers mean the cappuccino machine might not be the only thing steaming behind the counter. "If one person's in a bad mood, it can make the whole team grouchy." Augustine says.
Lawrence has an assortment of coffee venues to choose from but, regardless of where you end up, appreciate the person behind the counter. And when your head hits the pillow at night, remember that there's a barista somewhere getting asked for a "caramel macchiato."
Another pet peeve baristas deal with is when
Concocting rare drinks, cooking up food (places like Java Break and Milton's offer a full menu 24 hours a day) and serving customers can be rewarding, but is often underappreciated.
"The job's not as relaxing as it looks." Baird says.
Baristas want you to appreciate the individuality of each coffee shop and know the lingo. "There's a larger world out there than Starbucks," Cisneros says.
customers are unaware of what they want to order (or its correct term) when they finally reach the counter.
"The most irritating thing is the people that come in wanting a caramel macchiato – I've been tempted to make an actual caramel macchiato before just to see the look on their face," Baker says, who gets the request often. In reality, a caramel macchiato is a double shot of espresso with a dab of foam. If they got what they asked for, most people would be surprised to see so little in their cup. Since Starbucks to see the term and created their own interpretation of the drink, coffee drinkers usually expect (and should ask for) a vanilla and caramel latte.

Transportation's flashiest accessory is here to stay
SHINY
by Fred A. Davis III
It's 1973 in Fayetteville, North Carolina. A 17-year-old Ronnie Chalmers, future operations director for KU's athletic department, has his car parked in his driveway, and the driveway is on a hill. Chalmers rushes into his house; he's running late for his part-time job at the yarn factory.
When Chalmers returns to the driveway, his 1962 light blue — "a little darker than Carolina blue" — Chevy Impala isn't there. His first car, his three-speed with large chrome wheels on the back to complement the smaller tires up front (sans chrome), is gone. He finds it parked at the bottom of the hill, nestled uncomfortably beneath an oak tree. The emergency brake — set while the car was running — gave out.
The impala wound up with a bent frame after its unsuccessful bout with the oak tree. Chalmers never did fix the frame and eventually sold the car. Yet, one thing from that car would remain with Chalmers for life: a need for chrome.
Seeing chrome on cars today is nothing new. It's hard to turn on MTV, BET or flip through a magazine without seeing chrome -- rims, bling, blades, spinners, spokes or any other euphemism for "fancy wheels." Rappers, athletes and musicians on Cribs or Pimp My Ride all seem to have cars sporting chrome these days.
But chrome is hardly new.
Around before World War II, chrome truly came of age after the war, says Michael Furman, professional photographer and author of Automobiles of the Chrome Age, 1946-1960.
"Chrome changed the
perspective of how we as Americans wanted to be seen — and that was evident in our cars," Furman says. Furman calls 1946-1960 the "Chrome Age" because chrome ornamentation and the basic use of chrome on cars was a prominent
"On a cloudy day, it still gives you a highlight. It also gives a direction and adds attention — you see the bright work."
Furman sees chrome wheels as the last stronghold of bright metal. Although not a huge fan of chrome wheels personally, as a photographer, Furman likes the strength and accent chrome gives. "It's a built-in highlight," he says.
And that's all gravy,but chromes' been around since the 1930s, so are we seeing it more just because
"Chrome changed the perspective of how we as Americans wanted to be seen."
Michael Furman, author of Automobiles of the Chrome Age, 1946-1960
design element during that period. As time wore on, the weight of chrome became a factor as automobile companies began to make lighter cars and sacrificed chrome for polished aluminum.
In recent years, chrome is being integrated into vehicles again, but not to the extent it once enjoyed. Furman says. Street rods and custom cars are all that's left of the "classic chrome" look he says.
it's the thing to get? If Snoop Dogg starts rockin' 26-ich aluminum-foil covered carbon-five stars in his next video, will that be the next new trend?
Hot or not,
chrome is a very
fashionable
accessory, and for
good reason. It
can make a drab
car fabulous.
It can make a fabulous car breathtaking. It's also expensive, so it says that you've got some change in your pocket. It's a symbol of status — for today's generation, a generation generally inept when it comes to the appreciation of automobiles.
Ronnie Chalmers, now 50,
is the product of a generation
that epitomizes what it means
to appreciate a vehicle —
and its accessories. When you
see Chalmers — tall, broad-
shouldered, clean-cut
and deftly laid-back — it's hard not
to be impressed. He's married
to his high-school sweetheart
and he's on the coaching staff
at one of the most storied college basketball programs in America. He served his country and, oh yeah, his son, Mario, is a key member of the Kansas men's basketball team.
And he loves his chrome.
Chalmers speaks reverently about his past cars, whether talking about the Impala, his 1977 T-Bird or the car he owns now - a black 2002 BMW X5 SUV. To Chalmers, it's more than just having rims for their own sake. Sure, they make the car look better, he says. But it's also about taking care of the rims. Chalmers admits he loves taking care of his cars and may parlay that love into a post-KU career by opening his own car washes some day.
Chrome makes Chalmers' car his, and it expresses how he likes to drive and present his wheels.
So, then, what is he representing on his Beeemer? A dazzling set of 22-inch AT Italia five-star chrome wheels, highlighted by a hint of black over the chrome. "It's taken a while to get used to the black, but it's growing on me," Chalmers says.
Though Chalmers has come a long way from the yarn factory in Fayetteville, a piece of his heart still remains tied to that '62 Impala, a car that's still his favorite. To this day, Chalmers keeps his eyes open online and scans automobile ads for a '62 Impala, hoping to rekindle a relationship that a faulty emergency brake and an oak tree cut short.

And if you think Chalmers will ever abandon his love for chrome, don't bet on it. "If I'm driving when I'm 75, I'll have chrome," he says with a sheepish grin.

There are also wealthy-businessman types simply looking to add some flair to their ride, Raz says.
But Raz knows how to cater to the 40-plus group because he's a part of it. At "49 and holding," Raz scoffs at the question of whether he has chrome. His matter-of-fact answer is "Yes" — stock chrome rims to be exact, on his red 1990 Corvette.
Lawrence's security guru goes chrome
Dave Rueschnhoff's passion for chrome doesn't have the tragic history or duration of Chalmers's, but there's no denying the 55-year-old Lawrence businessman's appreciation for polished metal.
Like Chalmers, Rueschoff has been successful in life. He owns or co-owns several locksmith and security businesses in Lawrence. Exuding a calm confidence, Rueschoff and his car, a white 2004 Mercedes Benz CLK 500, were meant to go together. The Benz has chrome wheels, but Rueschoff hasn't always been attached to chrome.
His earliest venture into chrome was as a prester in Hutchinson. His first car, a 1956 Chevy, came with chrome wheels. After the Chevy, it was a while before Rueschoff could have chrome again. Family needs (chrome wheels wasn't one of them) and affordability prevented the expensive acquisition.
A change of heart took place a few years ago when he purchased a black Chrysler 300M with rims. The look reenergized the self-proclaimed "car buff" and he's been a chrome man since, vowing never to stray again.
But, like Chalmers and just about everyone else that's ever owned chrome, Rueschhoff mentions how the look of a vehicle is enhanced by chrome. Sitting in Custom Highline, a high-end car dealership in Lawrence, 2441 W.6$^{th}$ St., he points to a 2002 Lexus LS430 with matte
s银ier-colored rims (a relatively dull finish) and
silver they'd look much better with chrome.
That reasoning was developed by the fact that Rueschhoffs's Benz didn't come with chrome when he bought it. Of course, when thinking of the resale value — Rueschhoff says he doesn't hold on to a car for too long — and the aesthetic appeal, he knew he had to add the chrome.
To get it, he went through a chrome exchange program at www.oemrims.com. By exchanging his original polished aluminum Mercedes factory rims, Rueschhoff estimates he saved $1,500 by using the exchange program rather than buying brand new custom rims.
After $550 plus shipping costs and a one-month wait, Rueschhoff received a sparkling set of 18-inch chrome rims, each emblazoned with the Mercedes three-star logo in the middle.
It's easy to detect the pride Rueschloff has in his vehicle, which he says is his favorite to date.
BFGoodrich
Custom 18-inch rims with the Mercedes logo adorn Dave Rueschhoff's Benz. He traded in his original factory rims for the chrome rims through an online chrome exchange program. By exchanging the originals, Rueschoff estimates he saved about $1,500.
JENNIFER BONO
The "guy thing" factor
Chrome appeals to an innate manly instinct, a grunting, bold, flashy instinct that commands fear and attention.
And if there ever was a vehicle that defined what it is to be a man, it would have to be Ray Sawyer's black 2003 Ford Excursion. A vehicle that screams horsepower and testosterone, Sawyer's Excursion is bigger, better and meaner
than just about any other vehicle on the road.
The 51-year-old Sawyer, a native of Boise Valley, Idaho, is an easy-goverguy — a vast departure from the menacing stereotype his Excursion evokes. Sitting on a dazzling set of 20-inch Diablo rims and surrounded by enough rubber to make the Michelin Man blush, the Excursion will leave even the most experienced automobile fan stuttering and stammering at first sight.
Sawyer, owner of an agricultural consulting business, is aware of the
cosmetic appeal of chrome. Like Chalmers and Rueschoff, Sawyer likes the look. But Sawyer spends more time in his vehicle because of his business. Criss-crossing the map at a moment's notice comes with the job description for Sawyer. So it's important to him that what he's sitting in looks nice.
Sawyer believes people are judged by what they drive. It's a notion he doesn't agree with, but that's the way it is, he says. If you judge Ray Sawyer, you end up with the verdict that he's doing just fine.
Examining Sawyer's chrome credentials, you see that he's been a chrome fan since his

partment
metallic blue 1970 Chevellie. Sawyer had the car's stock wheels immediately replaced with
Kraegers (a mainstay on most muscle cars).
These days, Sawyer, who trades in his vehicles every four to five years, remains on the lookout for his next car as he continues to amass mileage on his Excursion.
So far as wonderful, eye-catching and powerful as chrome wheels are, there must be a downside. Upkeep and maintenance seem to be the trade-offs for the flashy trend. The solution? "Easy," Furman says, "if you stay on top of cleaning your chrome, it's easier to keep it looking
nice and extends the life of it."
It's safe to say chrome isn't going anywhere. As long as people want to beautify their vehicles, chrome will be there. And while, for some folks, the need for chrome is predominantly to show off, there remains a group — people like Ronnie Chalmers, Dave Rueschhoff and Ray Sawyer — who have it because owning chrome means something special to them. Something so special, in fact, that you won't see it on TV or in a magazine. Because for guys like these, it's not about why they have the chrome but about how hard they've had to work to get it.

Two of the minds behind the Scary Movie series combine to lampoon the romantic comedy genre in all its clichéd glory. Date Movie serves up such films as Meet the Parents, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, The Wedding Planner, King Kong, Kill Bill, Say Anything and many, many more.The film follows Julia Jones (Alyson Hannigan, American Pie) as she searches for the man of her dreams, finds him, plans to marry him, meets the parents and (I'm guessing) ends up chasing him to the airport after some kind of misunderstanding.

Q: So where are you now?
A: I'm just hanging out in my apartment in New York.
I did the first show of the tour at New York University,
and I'm getting assembled now for the rest of the tour.
I'm actually looking at the KU Web site right now. I've never been to Lawrence, but your campus looks beautiful.
Q: Thanks. I don't think it's too bad myself. Any essentials you need while you're on tour?
A: A: I'm not sure.. .shampoo? Yeah, definitely shampoo.
Q: Your tour is called "Medium Man on Campus," but your last name is BirBigIAa. So why not call it "Big Man on Campus?"
Actually, that's a good idea. I hadn't thought of that. I call myself the "medium man," because in college I wasn't the guy with a million friends, but I wasn't the guy with zero friends either. I never got all the reading done for class, but I did enough to not be a jerk.
Q: On your tour you'll be heading out to your alma mater, Georgetown University. Any funny stories from your time there?
A: I took a computer science class and failed the midterm. All the stuff was way over my head, so I didn't go to class much. When I showed up for the final, the guy next to me said, "Do you think we'll get the finals back today?" I had totally missed the final, so I talked to the professor because I was confused by the syllabus. He told me that I could get the same grade as the person with the worst grade on the final. It turned out that the worst grade was a guy who actually passed the test, and I ended up passing the class. I'm an American. I believe in grade inflation.
Q: You sing a little during your show. Do you consider yourself a good musician?
A: No, I'm a funny singer. I'm just funny enough so that no one notices how bad I actually sing.
WARNING
Q: Are there other careers that appeal to you besides being a comedian?
A: Yeah. I've always wanted to be either a poet, comedian, rapper or pizza place owner. I've been called a white bread cracker rapper. If a guy asked me, "What's up, white bread?", it's not an insult. It's just myself personified by a food product. Hey – I can do that too, black bean soup.
Q: There seems to be a running theme of bears in your routine. What's with that?
A: When I was a kid, I'd just have dreams about bears. I had a recurring dream that a bear walked into my house, like a human.
My girlfriend had once asked what I feared the most. She said that you'll leave me for someone else. I said that I most feared bears.
When I was in Alaska, I saw some bears in the zoo. They're such beautiful creatures. I definitely have a love-fear relationship with bears.

BRA FITTING 101
by Liz Nortowicz

Model: Lindsey Quittmeir, Parkville, Mo.art education graduate student.
With outstretched arms, Leslie Dillon,
Independence, Mo. sophomore, anxiously awaits
to see how she measures up.
And what the right (or wrong) bra will do for you
"34 B," says Marilyn Ousdahl, intimate apparel head at Weavers, 901 Massachusetts St.
"That's what I figured," Dillon sighs as her roommate steps up for her bra fitting.
KIT LEFFLER
"34 C," Ousdahl announces.
"I wasn't expecting that," says a pleasantly surprised Abby Christensen, Independence sophomore. "I wear mainly B cups."
Being off a cup size is common, says Ousdahl, who boasts 22 years of bra fitting experience. In fact, it is so common that 85 percent of women nationwide are sporting the wrong size bra, says fitting specialist Blessing Okere. Okere works at Intimacy, a Chicago-based lingerie store dedicated to bra fitting.
Experts say that lack of professional help is to blame for most ill-fitting bras, but amateurs can now take matters into their own hands. With a crash course in sizing, anyone can learn the laws of the bra and relish in the right bra's benefits.
Finding the right fit
Besides perking up her health, the right bra can do wonders for a woman's appearance and state of mind.
To find the right bra, you must have the right measurements. Wrong measurements are the reason for most cleavage crises. Some women just aren't comfortable getting measured, Okere says. This leaves women to ballpark their size, almost guaranteeing a mistake.
Fixing the problem
Others are comfortable, but go to untrained fitters. Knowing how to measure and knowing how to fit are not the same, says Okere, who believes fitting is holistic. Okere recommends researching a store before going in for a fitting.
It is also important to be fitted frequently. Getting fitted is like a check-up, Okere says; it should be yearly. Like the doctor, women should feel free to go as needed. Any significant weight fluctuation is cause to be refitted, Okere says. Women need not run to the store every time their scale sways; they can do their own measurements in a pinch.
A simplistic way to double-check dimensions is to measure underneath the bust, Ousdahl says. Wearing either an unlined or lightly lined bra, take a soft tape measurer and secure it under the band of the bra. To get the band size, add 5 inches to this number. To verify cup size, wrap the tape around the fullest point of the bust. Every inch the cup differs from the band is a cup size.
The biggest and most common problem is overflowing cups, Ousdahl says. While offering the security of snugness to women, brimming cups are a sure sign that the bra is too small. A good bra should lift and separate. Okere says, not squish.
Shoulder straps digging into the shoulders are also at the top of the bra blur list, and a safe bet that a bra is two cup sizes too small. Three fingers
should fit easily under the straps, Okere says. As for adjusting the straps, Okere says to aim for the middle. If the straps are adjusted all the way, it means the bra band is too big.
Rising bands also signal the need for a larger bra. The band should rest firmly underneath the shoulder blades, Okere says. A level band pulls the breasts into the body's frame and places
them in the desired position of the middle arm.
Puckering is a dead giveaway for a bra that is too large. Excess fabric on the sides or at the cups means its time to go down a size, usually In cup, Okere says. Falling straps also suggests the bra band is too big.
Although loose is more comfortable it's not neccesarily better, Okere says. Over time, bras lose their elasticity so it's important to buy bras that fit firmly on the last hook. As wear and care take their tolls on the garments, women can advance to a tighter hook.
Bountiful benefits
Women can also boost their confidence with a bra over time. Besides perking up her health, the right bra can do wonders for a woman's appearance and state of mind.
"If you ever want to look like you have lost 10 pounds fast, get the right-sized bra." Okee says.
The right bra creates the illusion of a slimmer, trimmer body by pulling the breasts into its frame. Okere says. It also enhances an outfit. Victoria's Secret fashion consultant, Machene, advises women to wear plunges or push ups with V-necks, demis with t-shirts and full coverage for sweaters.
Along with looking better, a good bra will make women feel better, Brett Grady, Olathe sophomore says. Grady says the power of the bra lies within how it affects the woman wearing it.
"Even if no one sees it, she's still going to have that confidence with a good bra." Grady says.
Christensen's smile attests to the importance of a good bra, as she thumbs through a sea of C's, beaming with joy.
THE "BRO" IS REAL
The "Bro," or the "Manssiere," depending on which side of the Seinfeld debate you're on, isn't just one of Kramer's wacky inventions. It's a real medical garment.
"Compression vests" are designed specifically for men suffering from an excessive amounts of breast tissue, or gynecomastia. The vests cover the entire
upper torso and reduce the appearance of breasts, similar to the effect of a woman's minimizing bra.
Gynecomastia usually appears during puberty and is linked to genetics, obesity, drug use and certain diseases. Merle Yost, licensed psychotherapist and founder of www.gynecomastia.org, writes on the site
that most adolescent boys go through a phase of gynecomastia but only 10 percent will develop the condition.
Compression vests can be bought from specialty stores like Design Veronique through www.designveronique.com.

Light on Snow by Anita Shreve
Set during the stark yet beautiful winter season in New Hampshire, Light on Snow explores family dynamics, moral ambiguity and a search for redemption and belonging. While the themes and subject matter may not be completely original, the novel itself is engrossing and well-written.
The novel begins with the serendipitous discovery of an abandoned baby in the woods near the Dillon home, where 12-year-old Nicky lives with her widower dad. The child lives, but Nicky is forever haunted by her realization that the world is a cruel place. When a woman named Charlotte turns up at the family's door, they discover that she is the baby's mother and responsible for the neglect. The
fact that Nicky is still recovering from the deaths of her mother and baby sister only adds to the crisis of conscience.
Nicky and her father wait out a snowstorm with Charlotte and decide what to do next. Torn between rage and sympathy, her father tries to decide whether or not to turn Charlotte in. Meanwhile, Nicky takes to Charlotte as a new mother figure.
I couldn't figure out why Shreve chose to have an adult Nicky narrate the novel, and yet keep it in present tense. It almost feels like a breakdown in parallel structure. Parts of the novel descend into the realm of the sugary sweet, but it's forgivable. Shreve develops her characters well, while still maintaining a
succinct, crisp style that probably saves the book from becoming downright musy.
Like most of Shreve's books, this will probably appeal to mature women with mainstream tastes, and that's fine. There's nothing new or revolutionary, and it asks the same questions that have been posed countless times before. The novel is enjoyable and entertaining, but once this snowflake hits your tongue, it evaporates.

Tim McGraw: MUSIC Greatest Hits II
For years, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have reigned the country music charts as beloved Nashville royalty. They've been deemed the first couple of country; John Rich even dubbed Faith the modern-day Tammy.
And what's this, like, the eighth greatest hits installment from the other
half of country music's first couple?
Who's buying this stuff?
TIM MCGRAW
PRINTED IN U.S.A.
No. It's just the second installment, but given McGraw's penchant for releasing entire albums as singles, and given radio's inexplicable penchant for playing them, it might as well be the eighth.
Set aside the fact that McGraw can't sing, and his material (not his own, but might as well be) sucks. Greatest Hits // isn't completely horrible. It is one of those records you can pretend to like — it's that something — when there's nothing else on the radio. "Hey! That was
a good song for the first five seconds, then it kind of started."
McGraw's music is a good example of everything that's wrong with country music right now. Just consider Greatest Hits II a condensed, intensified version — the epitome of bad.
McGraw said it himself: "This shit ain't rocket science." It should be a slap in the face for those who actually take country serious. Instead, he slapped himself.
DEVIL MAY CRY 3:
SPECIAL EDITION
Nick Connell
NO STARS
Once upon a time, Devil May Cry 3 stood as arguably the best action/ adventure game on the PS2. That time was a three-week period last year, just before God of War came along and rained on its parade. Now, everybody's favorite bondage-gear-wearing half-demon Dante is back in Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition and it's still not as good as God of War.
That said, DMC3:SE holds up pretty well among the best action/adventure games available and the Special Edition does a great job of adding lots of new content for both new and veteran players.
The most notable addition is a new playable character, Dante's twin brother Virgil. Virgil comes equipped with his own unique weapons, style and moves. Unfortunately, you also have to complete the game with Dante before you can unlock him, so new players will have to play through as Dante at least once.
Of course, that first play-through is considerably easier now, thanks to a new continue mode. Players can elect to use the original Japanese continue mode, which allows you to continue from the nearest checkpoint an unlimited
number of times or purchase Gold Orbs to continue right where the character died. The new mode does a great job of alleviating the sometimes brutal difficulty of the original.
Other new features include a new boss fight, a Very Hard difficulty mode, and an increased game speed option. These features give series veterans further reason to play through again.
For $20, DMC3:SE is an easy recommendation. If nothing else, it will tide you over until the next God of War comes out.

The Pink Panther
MOVIE
In case you forgot, Martin is funny.Very funny. He demonstrates his comedic ability as Jacqués
Steve Martin's French accent may have been a little more than slightly off, but most other aspects of The Pink Panther hit the mark.
Clouseau, a humbling, completely inept police officer-treated-inspector. He's investigating the murder of a French soccer coach (Jason Statham) and the theft of his elusive "pink panther" diamond. What Clouseau doesn't know is that his boss,
Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Kevin Kline) has ulterior motives for putting Clouseau in this surprising position. The question is, can Clouseau put his blundering brain to good use and solve the most talked-about crime in Paris?
Sure, some of the stunts and stereotypes are over the top, and there are spots of potty humor, but this movie does what it aims to do: make the audience laugh. The PG rating and the lame cell phone reminder I'd seen countless times before other previews (ironically not included in the previews for this film) made me skeptical. But there are quite a few jokes that the children in the audience aren't meant to get, and some of them are pretty damn good. Overall, The Pink Panther proved to be a pleasant surprise.

MUSIC MAKERS BY ROCKY VOTOLATO
Makers, the fourth full-length album from Rocky Votolato is packed with the kind of typical singer-songwriter punch you expect from artists like Iron and Wine or Elliott Smith. When "White Daisy Passing" starts you feel like you're listening to Garden-State soundtrack favorites like The Ships or iron and Wine.
"The standout track," She Was Only In.
It For The Rain" features a great chorus
with several intertwining guitar parts
and subtle background orgart that create a powerful song.
"The Night's Disguise" has slide guitar that brings to mind any great alt country song you've heard.
"Tennessee Train Tracks" is backed by strong drumbeats and shaker,
"Tennessee Train Tracks" is backed by strong drummbeats and shaker
adding further depth to the album. *
Makers is lined with beautiful instrumentation throughout. The production is superb. A subtle organ or harmonica here and there adding to Votolato's quiet and deep voice. It's good background music for studying.
Unfortunately, *Makers* doesn't really break from its formula too many times, leaving the listener, bored after a few tracks. By track five or six, you've pretty much heard the entire album. So if you want a singer-songwriter type album that stays interesting throughout, get Jennie Lewis's *Rabbit Fur Goat* or Beck's *Sea Change*.

Breakfast on Pluto
VIRIDI
After Patrick Braden's stepmother comes home to find him wearing one of her dresses, she orders him to say, "I'm not a girl." Young Patrick obeys, brimming with insincerity.
Breakfast on Pluto is not a story about a sexually confused young man. Patrick, who prefers to be called Kitten, knows exactly who she is, even if the people around her have trouble getting their heads around the idea.
Kitten grows up in Ireland in the '60s, but she has more important things on her mind than the violenceencroaching on her hometown. Like many fairy tale heroes before her, Kitten has a
brutish stepmother and a resentful stepsister who do their best to make Kitten a drab drudge. Kitten leaves them behind and goes to London.
Terrible things happen in London,but both Kitten and the movie,refuse to go to pieces over these tragedies. Sections of the movie are labeled with tongue-in-cheek chapter headings,and even the direct situation may be played for humor.
As Kitten, Cillian Murphy (*Red Eye*) mumbles his way through the movie. He holds tightly to Kitten's mask of superficiality, even when Kitten is at her lowest. It's a risky choice on Murphy's part, since I imagine some people will find it
alienating. But Kitten's ditzy veneer shouldn't be taken for callousness.
Despite its tartness, Breakfast is a very sweet movie. Kitten meets real kindness in London. In fairy tales, lost children tend to be devoured, and some of the plot twists that save Kitten from that fate emulate Disney fiction.
Breakfast makes a few attempts at cynicism, but they're not very pointed.

BACKDRAFT ON FIRESIDE DRIVE

MARK TURNER
Finding the courage to hang on by David Heller
GREG GRIESENAUER
I awoke to a loud bang that shook my entire apartment. I peeked out my window and noticed a bunch of people running around screaming. At first, I thought, "It's the drunk NASCAR fans." Then I opened my bedroom door and discovered the source of the chaos: Except for my bedroom, my entire apartment was engulfed in flames.
Another five minutes passed. My face was covered in ash. The fire began to engulf my bedroom. Thankfully, someone pulled a white car as close to my building as he could. As my arms and hands began to numb, I worked up the courage to jump. Suddenly, a boiler exploded in the empty apartment next to mine. My heart jumped at the sound and sight of flames bursting through a window five feet away from my face. "Get out of the way, I'm jumping!" yelled.
Everything was on fire: my computer, my couch, the front door, the floor, the ceiling, the kitchen and even the bathroom right next to my bedroom. This scared the shit out of me so I slammed my bedroom door. On pure instinct, I raced to the only window in my third-story apartment, kicked out the screen and began to climb out."Fire! I yelled to the people below.
Five more minutes passed. Several residents of the Boardwalk Apartment Complex gathered beneath me and pleaded for me to keep holding on. They tried to free a ladder, which was chained to a streetlight, but they couldn't get it loose."Ok, guys," I yelled at my neighbors below."Someone go get a car and park it underneath me so I can jump, I can't take this anymore!
At this point, I had hung out my window for 20 minutes, 20 feet above the ground, wearing nothing but a T-shirt and boxers. I pressed my bare feet
Ten paralyzing minutes passed. My fingers began to blister and my eyes watered from the smoke and ash in my face. I could feel the heat from the flames. My neighbors directly below finally realized the building was on fire. They opened their window and saw my feet dangling. One of them panicked, and began to pull on my feet."Get him down here!" she said. "No," I yelled,"I'll fall back and break my neck!" I felt my grip losing its strength, but I managed to hold on, and she eventually let go of my feet.
I looked down and quickly realized it was too far for me to jump. The ground was at least 20 feet below. A few seconds later, I noticed smoke creeping under my bedroom door. The fire was close. My only option was to climb out the window, hang from the sharp metal edge of the windowsill and pray for someone to help me.
against the wall and kicked myself free from the burning building. I fell toward the earth and landed feet first, crushing the hood of the white car. I fell backwards off the car, but somebody caught me before my head hit the concrete.
My instinct made me run away from the raging inferno. I ran through the parking lot and off to the side lawn. The cold October wind froze me as I watched my building burn to the ground. All around me, neighbors, whom I knew only by face, cried, bled and embraced each other. Two bystanders, both KU students, were kind enough to lend me some sweatpants and a sweatshirt. When they asked me what happened, all I said was,"the smoke alarms never went off."
The 76-unit apartment building burned down from approximately 1:30
a. m. to 6 a.m. Friday, Oct. 7, 2005. Three people died and many others were injured, either from the flames and glass or from jumping out of their windows. I was the only person who jumped from the third floor who did not get hurt, and I feel extremely fortunate to have escaped the fire unharmed. You never know what you would do in a crisis situation. I kept my head together, remained as calm as I could and held on for as long as I needed. I just wish I knew the name of the guy whose car I landed on.
One thing this disaster taught me is to always listen to your family's advice. My brother, Michael, noticed that there were no adequate fire escapes on my floor and advised me to buy a portable ladder, but I never did. I wish I had actually taken the time and thought about an escape plan.
The building I lived in was not required to conform to current fire code laws because it was built in the 60s.
I lost everything I owned in the fire, but I feel damn lucky to be alive today. After the fire, I received an astonishing amount of support from my family, friends, the University of Kansas and random KU students. My mom drove from Manhattan to bring me some clothes. My good friend, Al Gard, let me crash at his apartment until I found a new place to live. I was touched by all the people, whom I didn't even know, who collected money for me and offered me places to crash. These people really cared about what happened to me, and I thank each of them for their support. Your friends, family and neighbors rally around you when you need them most.

VOL. 116 ISSUE 97 ▼ TUITION RATES
Cheaper tuition, at a price
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2006
Nonresident students in Kansas could see cheaper tuition provided they agree to stay in Kansas for five years after they graduate.
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
favis@kansan.com
KANSA STAFF WRITE
A proposal by Rep. Tim Owens (R-Overland Park) would add a middle tuition level, the "Kansas commitment rate," to the already existing resident and nonresident tuition levels. Designed for nonresident students, those interested in receiving the middle rate would have to agree to stay in Kansas for five years after graduation. The middle rate would be determined by the Kansas Board of Regents.
The bill is designated in part to help spur the state's economic development and improve the state's intellectual capital by keeping its graduates in Kansas.
According to Owens, the University of Kansas has expressed the most concern of any of the state's Regents schools regarding the bill. Keith Yehle, KU director of government relations, said the University would be concerned about any changes made to the tuition levels by the Legislature. Yehle said such changes to the nonresident levels would have definite financial repercussions for the University.
According to fiscal year 2006 figures, the University has 8,143 nonresident students.
The Kansas Board of Regents, in a written testimony to the House of Representatives Higher Education Committee on Wednesday, expressed its opposition to the bill. The Regents cite the potential fiscal consequences the Kansas commitment rate could have.
In fiscal year 2005, Regents testimony said state universities collected $74 million from nonresident tuition. The board said it could lose anywhere from $17.5 million to $48 million in tuition revenue with the adoption of a middle tuition rate, depending upon what the proposed rates could be.
He said the concerns that have been voiced, for example the possible loss of revenue or the method of tracking graduates after graduation, are all fixable.
Owens said that those figures were speculative and that it was difficult for the Regents to come up with confirmed numbers. He said that he wanted the bill to help the state of Kansas and in no way hurt the state's schools.
Owens suggested putting a cap on the number of students who could use the middle tuition rate, or implementing a pilot program, perhaps for four years, that would provide data to monitor the program.
The bill - HB 2745 - is in the Higher Education Committee.

Upscale eatery relocates near bars
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Bottleneck and Last Call started sharing New Hampshire Street with the high-end, high-income Hobbs Taylor Lofts late last year. Now another high-end establishment is moving into the neighborhood.
Last Saturday, Pachamama's restaurant opened at Eighth and New Hampshire streets with 13,000 square feet to work with. A restaurant in Lawrence since 1999, it chose the Hobbs Taylor Lofts area to tap into a larger foot-traffic market.
It was also attracted to the new lofts, but the owner said the restaurant wasn't trying to shake up the neighborhood.
"We're not going that far above and beyond what everyone else is doing, trying to be pretentious or anything," Pachamama's owner and executive chef Ken Baker said. "We're definitely fine dining, but no white tablecloths. Dress is casual."
In contrast to the local bar scene and late hours that the street typically keeps, the brand-new Pachamama's stands out. The neon green lights immediately draw attention to the crystal glass effect around the entrance and continue to the elegant glass walls keeping diners in full view of onlookers.
The new world cuisine restaurant opened in Lawrence in 1999 on Quail Creek Drive.
"There wasn't a whole lot of pressure," Baker said of trying to beautify the Hobbs Taylor Lofts area. "Mostly the city dictated outside appearance and stuff, but I wanted it to look outstanding regardless of what anone said."
Although its appearance changes the look of the Hobbs Taylor Lofts' neighborhood, residents of the pricey new high-rise, the remaining available lofts range from $229,000 to $489,000, said a makeover wasn't necessary.
"We were not hoping that would clean this up," Hobbs resident Marian Hukle said of Pachamama's. "There's total charm over here."
Hukle, program coordinator at the Division of Biological Sciences, said she was pleasantly indifferent to the new restaurant.
"I see they have a pretty nice bar," Hukle said. "It's like, 'Oh hon let's go have a cocktail,' and we could walk across the street. But we really don't talk like that. It's more like, 'Let's go to Free State for a beer.'"
Hukle's move from the West side of Lawrence to the Hobbs lofts had nothing to do with Pachamama's.
"They had a quote in the paper saying that they were moving here because of this building," Hukle said. "We didn't move here because of Pachamama's. We didn't even know they were going to be here."

Police baffled at woman's motive in prison break
Toby Young, president of the Safe Harbor Prison Dog Program, carries a dog across the Lansing Correctional Facility grounds Jan. 30, in Lansing. On this date, Young was bringing this abandoned dog to Lansing for inmates to begin training for adoption. Young, who runs a non-profit program in which inmates train dogs for pet adoption, has not been seen since inmate John M. Manard escaped from the Lansing Correctional Facility late Sunday.
I'll just keep the name on the envelope.
BY MARGARET STAFFORD
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LANSING — Some inmates at Lansing Correctional Facility knew Toby Young simply as "the Dog Lady."
She was the short woman with light brown hair and brown eyes who brought dogs destined for death to the prison to be trained so they could find new homes. In numerous media stories about the Safe Harbor Prison Dog program, Young, a dog trainer, spoke passionately about her desire to help both the dogs and the inmates improve their lives.
Now, the 48-year-old married mother of two adult sons is known around the country as the woman who allegedly used the program as a cover to help 27-year-old convicted murderer John Manard escape last Sunday.
Manard, one of the inmates who helped train the dogs, was frequently quoted in media stories in which he praised the program.
Prison officials, her family and those who worked with Young on the dog program are stunned and struggling for an explanation.
Law enforcement bulletins say Young should be considered armed and dangerous, but prison officials also say they are deeply concerned for her safety.
No one knows exactly how it began, and authorities have declined to speculate on whether the pair are romantically involved, but investigators say they know this much:
At some point, Young and Manard put together an elaborate plan for the escape. It included Young getting together more than $10,000 in cash, taking two guns from her home, buying a vehicle and renting a storage area without her family's knowledge, and even buying hair dye and an electric razor that could be used to alter appearances.
The two apparently talked seven other inmates into helping Manard get into a dog crate and loading the crate onto a van Young used to transport the dogs. Authorities say Young then calmly drove out of the prison.
The respect Young developed at the prison while running the program may have been central to the plot.
The prison says two guards
wno were supposed to check the van before it left didn't — apparently because they recognized and trusted Young.
So far, the plan has worked. Young and Manard, who was serving life in prison for the 1996 killing of Donald England in Overland Park, have disappeared and prison officials say they have no idea where they may be.
The state has offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to Manard's arrest, and they acknowledge the two could be anywhere in the world by now.
Young's family, including her firefighter husband, Pat, have refused all interview requests. On Wednesday, her father read an emotional statement saying family members "simply don't have any ideas why or how this happened" but telling Young they loved her and pleading with her to come home.
Corrections Department spokesman Bill Miskell said prison inmates and employees are "trying to grasp what has happened" and are struggling with the feeling that their trust was betrayed.
People who worked with Young on the Safe Harbor program also have refused to talk to The Associated Press, with one saying they are too overwhelmed to discuss the case.
"Toby Young was well-known and well-liked by everyone," Miskell said. "It appears that her familiarity with the staff may have played a part in her ability to help John Manard escape."
Since the breakout was reported, prison officials have directed all questions to Miskell, who has consistently refused to speculate on Young's possible motivations.
Training Young received on dealing with inmates made the boundaries between volunteers and inmates "extremely clear" Miskell said.
"Our training emphasizes to volunteers what they should and should not do for the inmates," he said. "There is no doubt that she knew the boundaries."
which leads them to violate the boundaries of their relationships, said Margaret Severson, an associate professor of social welfare at the University of Kansas.
Similar situations in all types of institutions — not just prisons — generally involves people who are vulnerable in some way,
While speculation runs rampant in such cases, it is pointless until the facts are known, she said.
"We're talking about human behavior and human emotions," she said. "To pretend that we can tell who might be prone to do something like this, that we can predict it, it's an impossibility."
Severson said she is concerned that the long-term impact of such a widely publicized case will make people suspicious of the thousands of honest people who work hard to improve the lives of inmates.
"The people who staff and manage correctional institutions and thousands of volunteers are doing great things every day," she said. "No matter what we find out about what happened in Lansing, the impact will be unfortunate for all those people."

HUNTING ACCIDENT
Bush: Cheney sorry
BY NEDRA PICKLER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Texas authorities closed the investigation into Vice President Dick Cheney's hunting accident Thursday without bringing any charges against him. President Bush said Cheney had handled the situation "just fine."
The administration was eager to put to rest a public relations firestorm arising from Cheney's failure to publicly disclose Saturday's accident until the next day. The episode had knocked the White House off stride and distracted attention from Bush's agenda.
Bush said critics were drawing "the wrong conclusion about a tragic accident" by saying it depicted the White House as overly secretive. He raised no objection to the delay in the disclosure of the shooting — although senior White House
"I'm satisfied with the explanation he gave," Bush said, making his first public comments about Cheney's accidental shooting of 78-year-old attorney Harry Whittington while aiming for a quail. Bush said the vice president's explanation was "strong and powerful."
aides had argued unsuccessfully for the announcement to be made more quickly and for Cheney to speak out sooner.
"The vice president was involved in a terrible accident and it profoundly affected him," Bush said in an Oval Office photo opportunity. "Yesterday, when he was here in the Oval Office, I saw the deep concern he had about a person who he wounded."
In Texas, the Kenedy County Sheriff's Department issued a report supporting Cheney's account of the accident that occurred on a sprawling private ranch. Deputies visited the scene, got written affidavits from at least four other members of the hunting party and interviewed Cheney and Whittington, the report said.
Whittington "explained foremost there was no alcohol during the hunt and everyone was wearing the proper hunting attire of blaze orange," reported Chief Deputy Gilberto San Miguel Jr. Cheney spoke to a deputy Sunday morning at the ranch, and Whittington was questioned from his hospital bed Monday, the report said.
The sheriff's report said Whit-
tington declined the deputies'
request to record the interview because he said his voice was raspy. Before a nurse asked the officers to "hurry up so Mr. Whittington could rest," he repeatedly insisted the shooting "was just an accident" and expressed concern that all the media attention would give hunting in Texas a bad image, the report said.
Whittington was hit with shotgun pellets in the face, neck and chest. He was in stable condition in a Corpus Christi hospital, two days after suffering a mild heart attack caused by a shotgun pellet that traveled to his heart.
Sheriff's dispatcher Diana Mata, speaking for the department, said the case was closed and no charges would be filed. She said Sheriff Ramon Sininas III, a Democrat, would have no comment on the report.
Cheney headed out of Washington Thursday, traveling to his home state of Wyoming after five days of intense scrutiny about the accident. He planned to give a previously scheduled speech to the state Legislature Friday, reflecting on his Wyoming roots and promoting the Bush agenda. Cheney told the story publicly Wednesday in an interview with Fox News Channel.

He said the construction would not interfere with surrounding areas in the Union.
"It's a relatively short, easy project." Beard said.
A representative from FedEx Kinko's said the store should be completed by the end of spring break.
Barry Swanson, associate comptroller, said the contract was taking longer than expected because so many people had to review it, making an accurate estimate impossible.
"If every piece of paper sits on someone's desk for three days, you've wasted a few months." Swanson said.
Swanson said that after the University closed KU Printing Services last year, it immediately had interim solutions in place.

"We've been experiencing lots of frustration," Elliott said.

"We never had a day when campus was unable to do its work," he said.
But the solutions were inconvenient for some.
Elliott said the department had been trying to cut down on copying by using e-reserve and Blackboard.
Over the last several weeks thousands of angry demonstrators have been burning buildings and at least 19 have been killed because of the protests, most of them in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
"I think that a religion that asks for tolerance really ought to be able to tolerate the freedom of expression," Frederickson said.
Margaret J. Rausch, assistant professor in the department of religious studies, said to help people understand how these cartoons hurt the feelings of the Muslim community she used the analogy of a person making a disrespectful image of someone's father.
Dorice Elliott, chairwoman of the English department, said that the department had been using its own copy machine, and when it broke down department members had to use the Kinko's on Massachusetts Street.

Ted Frederickson, professor of journalism, said that criticism was a part of peoples' lives. He said people needed to understand that although they might not agree with the message being presented, it is still important to uphold the right of free expression, no matter what.
As the violence of the protests increases, more newspapers across the country are questioning if they should reprint the cartoon in their publications.
She said when the copy center opened in the Union it would "help a lot," because faculty would be able to charge copy projects directly to the department.
After printing the cartoons in the Daily Illini, two editors of the University of Illinois student newspaper were suspended from their duties until a task force has reviewed the situation.
"It's something that's very close to you that's being made fun of," she said. "If a paper chooses to publish it, it's making a statement that it doesn't see a problem with presenting something that's very offensive to people of this certain religion."
Mary Cory, publisher and general manager—a full-time employee—of the Daily Illini, said the task force needed to discuss the fact that the editors went behind the editorial
Faculty have to submit copy requests 24 hours in advance that must be pre-approved by the department to be reimbursed, so they often end up taking on the costs themselves.

Frederickson said it was sad that journalists were being intimidated into censoring themselves with information that may be important news for the general public.
"We should have the freedom to report the news and provide our opinion without the fear of violence because people don't appreciate our message," he said.
Jonathan Kealing, editor-in-chief of The University Daily Kansan, said the paper had decided not to publish the cartoons.
He said with the advance of technology it was unnecessary for the newspaper to print them as long as it was still made available through other means, such as an online hyperlink.

Cartoon-fueled protests blaze
THE SUMMER OF 1984
BY ZARAR KHAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRES!
Pakistani protesters grab a Danish flag to tear it at a rally to condemn the publication of cartoons depicting Islamic Prophet Muhammad in Karachi, Pakistan, Thursday. Tens of thousands of people shouting "God is Great!" marched through Karachi and burned effigies of the Danish prime minister in Pakistan's latest round of protests over the cartoons.
Shakil Adil/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KARACHI, Pakistan—Thousands of people shouting "God is Great!" marched through a southern Pakistan city on Thursday and burned effigies of the Danish prime minister in the country's fourth day of protests over cartoons of Prophet Muhammad, police said.
About 5,000 police and paramilitary forces, wearing helmets and wielding guns and shields, were deployed along the two-mile route of the rally to prevent the violence that has plagued other protests throughout the country this week, said Mushtaq Shah, chief of police operations in the southern city of Karachi.
About 40,000 people took party in the demonstration, which ended peacefully, said Shahnawaz Khan, a senior Karachi police officer.
Protesters burned Danish flags and chanted "God's curse be on those who insulted the prophet." The government ordered educational institutions to close for the day and many shops in the city were shut. Most public transport was off the roads.
The "movement to protect the prophet's sanctity will continue until the pens of the blasphemous people are broken and their tongues get quiet," said Shah Turabul Haq, the head of Jamat Ahl-e-Sunnat, the Sunni Muslim group that organized the rally.
Pakistan's President Gen. Pervez Musharraf and visiting Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Wednesday appealed for European and other Western nations to condemn the cartoons, saying freedom of the press did not mean the right to insult the religious beliefs of others.
The drawings were first published in a Danish newspaper in September and later reprinted by other media, mainly in Europe. Many Muslims regard any depiction of the Prophet Muhammad as blasphemous. One of the drawings depicted the prophet with a turban shaped like a bomb.
Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller said Wednesday that the Iraqi government had asked Denmark to keep its troops in Iraq, despite demands for a withdrawal by the provincial council in Basra, the town where the 530-strong Danish contingent is based.
The council had demanded that the Danish troops withdraw
On Wednesday, a protest by more than 70,000 Pakistanis in the northwestern city of Peshawar dissolved into deadly riots by stone-throwing and gunwielding youths, who targeted foreign businesses.
properties were vandalized and the provincial lawmakers' assembly set on fire. Five people have been killed in protests in Pakistan this week.
Ameer ul-Azeem, a spokesman for United Action Forum, an opposition coalition of religious parties that have organized most of the protests in Pakistan, said television footage of violent attacks by protesters on embassies in other countries had prompted Pakistanis to do the same.
He appealed for people to avoid violence in more demonstrations the coalition plans for later this month, but didn't expect people to follow his advice.

Quoth Apple Don't steal
BY MAY WONG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Apple Computer Inc. has resorted to a poetic broadside in the inevitable cat-and-mouse game between hackers and hightech companies.
The maker of Macintosh computers had anticipated that hackers would try to crack its new OS X operating system built to work on Intel Corp.'s chips and run pirated versions on non-Apple computers. So, Apple developers embedded a warning deep in the software — in the form of a poem.
Indeed, a hacker encountered the poem recently, and a copy of it has been circulating on Mac-user Web sites this week. Apple confirmed Thursday it has included such a warning in its Intel-based computers since it started selling them in January.
The embedded poem reads: "Your karma check for today. There once was a user that whined/his existing OS was so blind/he'd do better to pirate/ an OS that ran great/but found his hardware declined./Please don't steal Mac OS!/Really, that's way uncool./(C) Apple Computer, Inc."
Apple also put in a separate hidden message, "Don't Steal Mac OS X.kext," in another spot for would-be hackers.
It's a risk that became apparent after Apple decided to make a historic transition to Intel-based chips, the same type that its rivals use in predominant Windows-based PCs. Apple previously relied on Power PC chips from IBM Corp. and Freescale Semiconductor Inc., but this year began switching its computers to the Intel platform. Various analysts have since hypothesized a worst-case situation in which Apple would lose control of its proprietary Macintosh environment.
The hacking endeavors are, for now, relegated to a small, technically savvy set, but it underscores a risk Apple faces if a pirated, functional version eventually becomes as accessible and straightforward as installing other software on a computer.
"We can confirm that this text is built into our products," Apple issued in a statement. "Hopefully it, and many other legal warnings, will remind people that they should not steal Mac OS X."

Judge orders spy records
BY KATHERINE SHRADER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A federal judge ordered the Bush administration on Thursday to release documents about its warrantless surveillance program or spell out what it is withholding, a setback to efforts to keep the program under wraps.
At the same time, the Republican chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee said he had worked out an agreement with the White House to consider legislation and provide more information to Congress on the eavesdropping program. The panel's top Democrat, who has requested a full-scale investigation, immediately objected to what he called an abdication of the committee's responsibilities.
U. S. District Judge Henry Kennedy ruled that a private group, the Electronic Privacy Information Center, will suffer irreparable harm if the documents it has been seeking since December are not processed promptly under the Freedom of Information Act. He gave the Justice Department 20 days to respond to the group's request.
"President Bush has invited meaningful debate about the wireless surveillance program," Kennedy said. "That can only occur if DOJ processes its FOIA requests in a timely fashion and releases the information sought."
Justice Department spokeswoman Tasia Scolinos said the department has been "extremely forthcoming" with information and "will continue to meet its obligations under FOIA."
On Capitol Hill, lawmakers also have been seeking more information about Bush's program that allowed the National Security Agency to eavesdrop — without court warrants — on Americans whose international calls and e-mails it believed might be linked to al-Oaida.
After a two-hour closed-door session, Senate Intelligence Chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kan., said the committee adjourned without voting on whether to open an investigation. Instead, he and the White House confirmed that they had an agreement to give lawmakers more information on the nature of the program. The White House also has committed to make changes

Rockefeller
to the current law, according to Roberts and White House deputy press secretary Dana Perino.
"I believe that such an investigation at this point ... would be detrimental to this highly classified program and efforts to reach some accommodation with the administration." Roberts said.
Still, he promised to consider the Democratic request for a vote in a March 7 meeting.
Earlier, Bush spokesman Scott McClellan reiterated that Bush does not need Congress' approval to authorize the warrantless eavesdropping and that the president would resist any legislation that might compromise the program.
Later Thursday, Bush adviser Karl Rove told at the University of Central Arkansas: "The purpose of the terrorist-surveillance program is to protect lives. The president's actions were legal and fully consistent with the 4th Amendment and the protection of our civil liberties under the constitution."
West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller, the Intelligence Committee's top Democrat, said the White House had applied heavy pressure to Republicans to prevent them from conducting thorough oversight. He complained that Roberts didn't even allow a vote on a proposal for a 13-point investigation that would include the program's origin and operation, technical aspects and questions raised by federal judges.
Rockefeller said the Senate cannot consider legislation because lawmakers don't have enough information.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) *****
Others might become shockingly blunt later today, setting the trend for the next few months. You might want to rethink a personal matter. You're likely to get what you want if you stay on target.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ***** Knowing when to bail out could be more important than you realize. Sometimes others could push you to your limit. Suddenly, you will find yourself careless and possibly accident-prone.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) *****
Split as soon you can; you need the break! You think that someone understands more than they do. Let go and relax. "Detachment" is your key word for the day. Let ingenuity fill in the gaps.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ Laugh and relax. You will be a lot happier than you think if you simply don't push. Look within for answers, and you will gain.
Perhps you need to work with a key individual more carefully.

OUR OPINION
Illinois student paper makes the wrong call
Twelve cartoons that started an uproar in the Muslim world have gotten two Illinois student newspaper editors suspended. Editor Acton Gorton and opinion editor Chuck Prochaska were relieved of their duties Tuesday by The Daily Illini after printing six of the Danish cartoons.
The newspaper has suspended both students for two weeks while it conducts an investigation on "the internal decision making process" that led to the cartoons' publication. The paper later wrote a split editorial, with the rest of the editorial board saying that the actions of Gorton and Prochaska were made without the editorial board's input, and Gorton and Prochaska saying the rest of the editorial board is scared of the outrage regarding the cartoons.
The ethics of both the original publication of the cartoons and subsequent publications is certainly open to debate. But the decision to suspend an editor of a college newspaper for printing them shouldn't be.
PAGE 7A
The University Daily Kansan made the decision not to run the cartoons. So did nearly every other major newspaper, including the New York Times and the Washington Post. Our paper didn't think it was ethical to publish cartoons that show the prophet Muhammad, which by itself is forbidden in the Muslim faith, in such an offensive light.
It smacks of political correctness. It smacks of cowardice.
However, a decision to print them, while controversial, is a justifiable, if not honorable, decision. The newworthiness of these cartoons is undeniable.
They have caused protests from the United States to Europe to the Middle East, where the protests have turned into riots. Over ten people have died in Afghanistan and five in Pakistan. Embassies were evacuated. Middle Eastern journalists have been arrested.
Gorton said in an editor's note beside the cartoons in the Daily Illini that it was important for Americans to see the cartoons and make their own decisions on how offensive they were. He chastised the rest of the press for not showing them for fear of public reaction
Issue: Publication of controversial cartoons
Stance: Student editors should have freedom to make mistakes.
And he did it in a studentrun, independent newspaper a paper he may no longer work for.
Gorton has been suspended because he made an unpopular decision. Rather then respect a newspaper editor's view when it clashes with most other newspaper editors' views, a board that oversees the paper removed him from the staff.
They left him out to dry in the mist of an important journalistic dilemma. The board's decision paints a sad picture for any student journalist that holds an opinion different than his peers. And it does it in an environment that is supposed to nurture, train and applaud students for making their own decisions, right or wrong.
One thing our general manager tells the staff of this paper is that if you're going to make a mistake or take a chance, do it while you're at The University Daily Kansan. Not only will teachers, fellow staff members and peers be behind you, they also will help you learn from your mistakes, as well as praise you when you do good.
What is to be learned from the suspension of an editor who did something controversial? How many other editors will be looking behind their back the next time they are forced to make a tough call?
In a time when Muslim and Western cultures are clashing, when the United States is at war in a Muslim country, when cartoons are causing riots, the board of the Daily Illini is teaching all the wrong lessons.
What Gorton and Prochaska learned was that they worked at a paper that took the easy way out when two of its editors made an unpopular call.

The past couple of weeks have been a turbulent period for the international relations of one small European nation - Denmark. People from North Africa to the Middle East, all the way to Indonesia have taken to the streets, destroying embassies and attacking Western symbols, as a form of protest against a grievous insult perpetrated by the Danes.
What could have sparked such an uprising? Is it a product of a trade war impacting commodities such as Danish blue cheese?
Nope.
Could it be a case of geopolitical conflict arising from military maneuvers carried out by the powerful Danish navy in nearby waters?
Wrong again.
All of this destruction and mayhem concerns a few cartoons published last September by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. The cartoons have since been reprinted in several other European dailies.
an atheist such as myself, however, it is completely exasperating. This is not the appropriate forum to discuss all of the various reasons why religious stories about gods, angels, devils, fiery serpents, and so forth are myths, but it does raise the interesting question of whether such fictional texts should be open to public scrutiny and commentary, such as political cartoons, even though it may result in hurt feelings.
Apparently, depicting the holy prophet Muhammad is a form of blasphemy to the Muslim faithful. As a result, various Islamic fundamentalist groups have taken offense and have actively fomented a series of violent demonstrations throughout the Muslim world. This has inevitably produced a broad public discourse on how freedom of speech and press, rights that are integral to a free society, can coexist in a respectful manner with religious dogmas.
The provocative Danish cartoons include one caricature of Muhammad with a bomb beneath his turban, and another that shows Muhammad standing on a cloud holding back a line of smoldering suicide bombers trying to get into heaven and saying "stop, we have run out of virgines." Is this simply a case of European arrogance and Islamophobia? Or is there a political statement conveyed by these particular cartoons that has been largely overlooked?
Every religion has its own moral teachings and unique world views that contribute to the wonderful diversity of human traditions and cultures we see today. But when they are interpreted as the literal truth by radical groups and individuals, and applied to society and government in an absolute fashion, it can become a repressive doctrine responsible for widespread suffering and the stifling of human thought and creativity.
For people of faith, this debate about political correctness may appear to be a legitimate issue. To
Quran for their Jihad against the West and the values it stands for. As a consequence of this radical interpretation, young Arab men have been more than willing to commit acts of terror in the name of Allah, the most dramatic being the events of 9/11. This said, however, one cannot disregard the damaging role of American foreign policy and its close alliance with the state of Israel in straining the relationship between the West and the Muslim world, creating a volatile mixture of nationalism and Islamic fundamentalism in places such as occupied Iraq.
That is the ultimate message of these cartoons. The supposed reward of 72 virgins in heaven for Muslim martyrs has been preached by radical groups such as al-Qaida, who have misrepresented the
But nonetheless, religious dogmas can be extremely dangerous and should not have a special status in an open marketplace for ideas and debate. The need to be subjected to the critical eye of reason. Otherwise, if considered as literal truths and taboo as topics of discussion, a return to the Middle Ages may be knocking on our future's door. Discrimination against certain members of society can occur unchecked (e.g., women under the Taliban regime, the gay community) and, what is particularly relevant to the state of Kansas, scientific progress can become compromised if it is in conflict with religious beliefs (e.g., modern evolutionary theory).
We should be thankful for the freedoms we have. Sometimes all it takes are a few cartoons from a small country in Europe to help us realize that.

This is being dealt with primarily through the creation of a new Park and Ride lot on West Campus. The cost of the lot is estimated at nearly $10 million and is being paid for, at least in part, by the dramatic increase in the cost of parking permits that occurred at the beginning of the fall semester.
The Kansan welcomes letters to the editors and guest columns submitted by students, faculty and alumni.
▼ COMMENTARY
Parking proposal deserves approval
SAM GILLESDA
The potential to retain the symbolism inherent in the initial act, while at the same time providing for the ostensibly reasonable request of a select group of students, is a realistic possibility and one that should come to pass.
Vincent is an Overland Park senior in English.
Accompanying this cost increase was the perhaps more symbolic action of closing the yellow lot to the east of JRP Hall from the hours of 4 to 6 a.m. to free up space for commuters.
This has prevented the influx of overflow parking from nearby sororities into the lot. As a result, this overflow parking has moved primarily to the stadium lot at the bottom of the hill.
Members of Chi Omega sorority, Gamma Phi Beta sorority and Sigma Kappa sorority, citing safety concerns related to the distance they now must walk and the poor lighting in the area, recently proposed a compromise to the parking commission, in which they would pay for a specialized "overnight" permit that would allow them to park in the lot until 8 a.m.
The parking commission considered this issue during its monthly meeting Tuesday. The committee moved to advise Provost David Shulenburger to allow the sale of an overnight parking pass to accommodate this overflow parking under the condition that those who park there must move their cars by 7:30 a.m. in order to allow space for students, faculty and staff whose days begin at 8 a.m.
This certainly seems reasonable. However, there needs to be a greater penalty than the standard parking ticket put into place.
A harsher penalty would ensure that this privilege isn't taken advantage of — whether it's doubling the existing fine or some similar punishment.
General questions should be directed to the editor at editor @kansan.com.

Bush requests money for war, Katrina relief
BY ANDREW TAYLOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — U.S. military spending for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will rise to $115 billion for this year — and nearly $400 billion since the fighting started — under a new White House request submitted to Congress Thursday.
A separate request for almost $20 billion in new hurricane relief funds would bring total spending in response to Katrina and Rita to more than $100 billion.
The Bush administration submitted a $65.3 billion war request, and Pentagon officials said the money would be sufficient to conduct the two wars at least through Sept. 30. Congress had approved $50 billion more for the war effort in December.
"These funds support U.S. Armed Forces and Coalition partners as we advance democracy, fight the terrorists and insurgents, and train and equip Iraqi security forces so that they can defend their sovereignty and freedom," President Bush said in a letter transmitting the request to Congress.
The war in Iraq now costs about $5.9 billion a month, while Afghanistan operations cost about $900 million per month, said Pentagon Comptroller Tina Jonas. That doesn't include the costs of replacing worn-out or destroyed equipment or training Iraqi and Afghan forces.
The Pentagon said the latest request assumes a U.S. force of 138,000 troops on the ground in Iraq through Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year, even though the administration has signaled that troop numbers would fall below that this year.
The supplemental spending request for the wars would bring the total price tag for the Iraq and Afghanistan missions to almost $400 billion. Bush's budget anticipates an additional $50 billion for the budget year beginning Oct. 1, though the costs are likely to be much greater.
Thursday's dual requests totaled $91 billion and came 10 days after Bush submitted his $2.8 trillion federal budget for 2007. Overall, the cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars consumes about 4 percent of the budget.
Still, war and hurricane relief costs and the burgeoning budget deficit — estimated to hit a record $423 billion this year — have put a squeeze on other programs. Bush's budget proposed cuts for a variety of domestic programs such as education, Amtrak, community development and local law enforcement grants, and also proposed curbing inflation increases for Medicare providers.
Congress is likely to vote on the massive requests next month, but lawmakers are already grumbling that the White House left out funds for highway repairs in Gulf Coast states and for various agriculture disasters dotting the Midwest. On the other side of the spectrum, conservatives believe the Katrina request should be matched with spending cuts elsewhere.
The latest request also includes $4.2 billion for State Department operations and foreign aid, such as $75 million to promote democratic institutions in Iran and $514 million to support peacekeeping efforts and provide food aid in Sudan.
The $19.8 billion being requested for hurricane relief along the Gulf Coast includes $4.2 billion in flexible community development block grants aimed at compensating Louisiana residents whose homes have been damaged or destroyed. Louisiana officials said their state was shortchanged when Congress approved $11.5 billion in such funds in December.
The request also includes $2.9 billion for intelligence gathering
and other related activities.
The congressional delegations from bordering states Texas and Mississippi say they will resist devoting the new community development funds exclusively to Louisiana.
"The complete lack of funding in this proposed supplemental for a state that absorbed enormous costs from two hurricanes is stunning," said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. "This is a major disappointment, but one the entire Texas delegation will fight to correct."
An additional $1.5 billion would go toward levee repair, storm-proofing drainage pumps and other flood control projects, including $100 million to restore wetlands around New Orleans. Some $3.1 billion would go to repair and rebuild federal facilities such as military bases and a veterans hospital in New Orleans.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency's disaster relief fund is seeking $9.4 billion for such tasks as debris cleanup, housing aid and other relief. The request comes less than two months after lawmakers took $23.4 billion from FEMA's coffers to help pay for a $29 billion Katrina relief bill. The latest request would push total federal spending for hurricane rebuilding to more than $100 billion.

Missouri limits funeral protests
BY CHRIS BLANK

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The House passed a bill Thursday making it a crime for protesters at funerals to get any closer than a football field's length away.
protested in several other states and say they believe the soldiers are dying in Iraq as divine punishment because the U.S. harbors homosexuals.
Two St. Joseph lawmakers, Rep. Martin Rucker and Sen. Charlie Shields, have sponsored bills that would limit funeral protests after members of the Topeka-based Westboro Baptist Church protested last August outside the St. Joseph funeral of a soldier killed in Iraq.
The church's members have
Several other states have proposed or discussed legislation limiting protests outside funerals. Representatives from the church have said they would sue if Missouri tries to limit their ability to protest.
Despite being a Democrat in a solidly Republican House, Rucker was tapped to carry the funeral protest bill during House floor debate Thursday.
been an honor was soured by the need for the bill.
"It's a travesty that we must regulate decency and integrity," he said.
Rucker said what should have
Last month, the Senate voted to bar protests near a funeral an hour before and after a service. There was little debate, and no one voted against the bill.
The House's version keeps the same time requirements laid out by the Senate but specifies that protests must be 300 feet away. A conference committee of lawmakers from both bodies will need to meet to work out the differences.

FOOTBALL FACILITY
Complex named
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
ejongensen@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The name Anderson Family Football Complex became one more completed chapter in the new football facilities saga.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway approved the name, which will honor the primary donors of the $31 million complex.
Associate Athletics Director
Jim Marchiony said the Athletics Department wanted to recognize the primary donors, alumni Dana Anderson and Tom Kivisto.
The field in Memorial Stadium will be renamed Kivisto Field in honor of the former Kansas basketball player. Kivisto played for Kansas in the '70s.
Chancellor approves use of donor's name
Since Fall 2004, details regarding the complex have been leaked periodically. Originally, announcements were made about the actual concept of a complex, then possible locations, followed by the donors and finally the announcement of a design firm.
Earlier this month, the department held a press conference to officially announce the construction of the new facility.
However, many details have not been released yet, including, perhaps, the most important detail of all: the location.
Marchiony said those details were still in the discussion stage. The Athletics Department has been steadfast in saying that the complex would not block the view of the Campanile.
The location of a new practice field has not been released either. During the official announcement of the facility, Athletics Director Lew Perkins said that there would be a new practice field near the facility and stadium.
The company plans to break ground for the project in early 2007, and would like to be finished by the summer of 2008.
The exact location for the field is also still in the discussion stage, Marchiony said.
Plans for the facility include offices, academic areas, a weight room, locker rooms, an audio-visual room, meeting rooms, a cardio room, a hydro-therapy room, a nutrition area and a display area.
As of now, no visual concepts exist of the complex. Marchiony said the complex's designers, HNTB Architecture Inc., had not given the department a rendering of the facility.

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Out of Shape, despite its own problems, pulled out a 42-37 victory.
All kinds of problems plagued the performance, including sloppy turnovers, careless fouls, bad free-throw shooting and poor shot selection.
Wednesday night's intramural basketball game paired Out of Shape vs. Theta Chi 1 and was anything but pretty.
It became apparent early that the team with the fewest mistakes would leave victorious. Capitalizing off of Theta Chi 1 turnovers, Kyle Gray, Salina senior, got Out of Shape off to a quick 11-0 start with five points.
The leadership and motivation of Chris Janish, Wichita senior, got Theta Chi 1's game plan back on track. Janish executed his role of coach on the court with a game total of 17 points and cut the team's deficit to 22-21 at halftime.
The beginning of the second half was the opposite
of the first, as Out of Shape took questionable shots and made lousy passes. But Janish and his teammates never took full advantage of the opportunities. Theta Chi 1's biggest lead was a mere three points with 14 minutes remaining.
That's when Out of Shape's Paul Dundee, Sabetha junior, hit two three-pointers down the stretch. Out of Shape relied on its outside shooting game all night, which team members said was nothing new.
"We don't have a post player to rely on so we are used to shooting threes," said Alex Benson, Salina senior. Benson contributed seven points.
When Out of Shape built a lead in the closing minutes, the team slowed the pace and took care of the basketball.
Theta Chi 1 finished the game in desperation with a flurry of fouls, but it was too late.
Out of Shape had already minimized its mistakes in the latter part of the second half, leading it to the victory.

And this guy wants to be a surgeon? With those nerves, I wouldn't let him near me with a stethoscope, much less a scalpel. Thanks, but no thanks, doc, I think I'll take my chances with the acupuncturist.
Yes, it's true — our season as Tiger fans has come down to spouting barbs like these. You could say we delight in the little things.
JOHN SMITH
In the month since Moody bricked those tosses (both of them, as I recall), things haven't exactly gone as planned at Mizzou. The past 30 days have left us sans Quin Snyder and teetering at .500, with a four-game run out at the Big 12 tournament as our final opportunity to reach the Promised Land. For the third straight year, the Tigers' season will come

down to salvaging the pride that comes with plucking your feathers.
The Tigers will visit Lawrence with a solid NIT resume, facing your Jayhawks, who have rattled off eight fluke victories since Big Monday. The lucky streak has found your boys back in the Top 25, a mere two slots ahead of a certain team from Pennsylvania. You remember the Bison, don't you? Wavne Simien certainly does.
Speaking of Wayne: Any of you catch the NBA Draft last April? Funny thing. Turns out "the best big man in the country" got drafted after a young fella named Linas Kleiza.
No joke. We're still trying to verify this, but I'm told Kleiza only went to school for two years.

Kansas Jayhawks (14-9. 3-9 Big 12)
Iowa State Cyclones (15-8. 6-6 Big 12)
Player to watch:
Junior guard Sharita Smith played terrific defense on Wednesday night against Nebraska. Smith has struggled to get in a rhythm intensely, but she will likely continue to play as long as she can shut down the opposing teams' scoring threats. When she came in during Wednesday's game, it was to replace freshman guard Ivana Catic or senior guard Kaylee Brown.
Key to victory
Key to victory:
Kansas will need a complete performance on both sides of the ball. In Wednesday's game, every big Kansas shot was immediately countered by Nebraska.

must-win games, and with a 3-9 conference record is considered an outsider to make the women's NIT. Making the postseason is not an impossible task, and Kansas could help its case with a road win in Ames. It would also provide momentum going into next week's game at Texas Tech.
Kansas lost to Nebraska 65-57 at Allen Fieldhouse in a game that was tied in the final minutes. Nebraska guard Kiera Hardy had 19 points, including the three-point shot that put the Cornhuskers up for good. After the game, Henrickson revealed that the team had been banned from wearing clothing that said "Kansas" during practice, saying that was a privilege the team had to earn.

Michael Phillips
Player to watch:
Iowa State guards, junior Lyndsey Medders and freshman Heather Ezell. Both shoot 32 percent for the season behind the arc, ranking in the top 15 in the conference. If they can consistently make their three-pointers, Kansas mush find a way to respond. Medders was out of the game in Lawrence with an injury, and Ezell was held to just 1-7 from three-point range.
Key to victory:
The Cyclones three-point shooting has been the key in numerous games this season. The team has lived and died by the three-pointer and the same should be true on Saturday. Without the three, Iowa State will be forced to establish an inside presence against Kansas' senior forward Crystal Kemp.
Iowa State has won three straight games, its longest winning streak in conference play this season. At 6-6 in the conference, Iowa State is trying to play its way off the bubble and into the postseason. Being swept by Kansas would let the air out of Iowa State's tournament bubble.

Last time out:
Iowa State defeated Texas Tech 69-65 Tuesday night in Ames, Iowa. The Cyclones' sophomore forward Liza Blideaux recorded her first career double-double, scoring 22 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. The team is usually among the best in the conference in three-point shooting, but got the victory despite only shooting 1-12 from behind the arc for the game.

Culture gives team winning edge

KANSAN SWITCHWRITER
For the third straight match, the Kansas Jayhawks will be heading out of state to face an opponent. This weekend, the team will face the Louisville Cardinals at 10 a.m. on Saturday at Louisville, Ky.
Kansas has a record of 3-1 this season, with two shutouts against Drake and Ball State.
Coach Amy Hall-Holt said that some of the team's success came from the friendships that the players had developed off the court, as well as learning the
culture of the players' places of origins.
Five out of the nine players on the team are from different countries, with three of those five from Russia, and only one person is from the state of Kansas. Freshmen Ksenia Bukina, Yuliana Svistun and sophomore Liza Avdeeva all hail from Russia.
said she came to Kansas to play tennis because she would be able to play tennis and go to school at the same time and because Avdeeva was already playing for KU.
"They want to come here because they want an education and they want to be a part of the United States and they know the education is a little more valuable here." Hall-Holt said.
The two remaining players from other countries are freshman Edina Horvath of Hungary, and senior Christine Skoda of Alberta, Canada. The lone player from the state of Kansas is sophomore Stephanie Smith of Salina.
Hall-Holt said, "The last couple weeks it has been great with us traveling and they all get along and they have fun. If they are in a hotel room, they
Earlier this season, Bukina
are all usually in one room watching a movie, it's never a separation."
Louisville comes in with a record of 9-1, with six shutouts. The Cardinals are ranked No. 74 in the nation, and their only loss came to Kentucky by a score of 4-3.
"It's definitely going to be a very competitive match. They are ranked in the top 75 right now," Hall-Holt said. She thinks that a win against the Cardinals will give them a very good chance of being ranked.

Royals sign 2 players to minor league deals
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Outfielder Chad Allen and infielder Benji Gil agreed to minor league contracts Thursday with the Kansas City Royals and were invited to spring training.
Allen appeared in 21 games last season with the Texas Rangers, hitting .283. He also has played in the majors with the Minnesota Twins, Cleveland Indians and Florida Marlins. Allen has a .269 average in 516 games in the majors.
The 35-year-old Gil was a first-round pick of the Rangers in 1991. He was the Rangers' starting shortstop in 1995, but hit .219 in 130 games.

'Hawks goin' back to Cali
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
When No. 30 Kansas faced No.11 Stanford last weekend, both had to prepare to play a potential contender in the NCAA tournament.
This weekend, Kansas must prepare to take on three.
The Jayhawks (6-2) head to the West Coast for the third time in as many weeks to participate in the Public Storage Classic, held by the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
"A guy from Baseball America called me today." Coach Ritch Price said on Tuesday. "And his comment was 'that might be the toughest tournament being played this weekend.'"
For the first time in Kansas baseball history, the team will bring a Big 12 Player of the Week and a Big 12 Pitcher of the Week with them.
Leading the Jayhawks this
"It was really deserving of both guys," Price said. "Gus Milner had a fabulous weekend. It was awesome to see Donnie Czyz break the saves record and break it against a big-time program like Stanford."
weekend are senior outfielder Gus Milner, conference player of the week, and senior right-hander Don Czyz.
Czyz (0-0), the new saves leader at Kansas with 15 in his career, has 0.00 ERA and three saves already this season, including two at Stanford.
Milner is hitting .545 on the season with three home runs and 16 RBI. He crushed the ball last weekend at Stanford, going 7-13 with seven RBI.
"There's another, what, 44 percent I can add on and bat .1000," Milner said. "I'll take .550 every day, though, that's for sure."
As for the competition, first up will be USC (5-3) tonight.
three straight losses with five straight victories.
The Trojans have followed
PAC-10 Player of the Week Cyle Hankerd has hit 556 in the Troians' past four games, in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak.
Junior right-hander Ian Kennedy (1-1) will be tonight's probable starter. Last year's PAC-10 pitcher of the year has 17 strikeouts and 2.08 ERA in 2006.
On Saturday, the Jayhawks will face the Toreros of San Diego (5-1). No. 9 San Diego swept then No. 7 and defending College World Series champion Texas to start the season. The Toreres first loss came at the hands of the UC Davis last Sunday.
Sophomore right-hander Matt Couch (1-0) will likely start San Diego's second game. In two starts, Couch has struck out nine, walked two and accumulated a 1.50 ERA.
"Every pitcher's got their ace or couple aces," Milner said. "So I just take them

The weekend's classic will open up the season for Vanderbilt. The Commodores finished 13-17 in the SEC last year. Sophomore infielder Alex Feinberg lead his team last season, hitting .413 in non-conference play.

Indiana coach quits in middle of season
NCAA BASKETBALL
BY MICHAEL MAROT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BLOOMINGTON, Ind.
-Mike Davis' departure from Indiana was as sudden as his ascent to the top of Hoosiers basketball.
Just a couple dozen yards from where he became Bob Knight's successor in 2000, Davis walked into in a crowded room and announced he would resign at the end of the season. He was still wearing a crimson Hoosiers' sweater as he urged fans to unite behind the program.
"Don't be sad for me. Please don't be sad for me," Davis said as his wife watched from the side. "This is like the Master-Card commercial. You know, it's priceless what God has given me to be the head basketball coach here."
The embattled heir to one of college basketball's signature programs made his decision public with five games left before the Big Ten tournament. In six seasons, he was 109-76.
But Indiana (13-9, 5-6) has been slumping lately. The Hoosiers have lost four straight games and are just 3-7 since a promising 10-2 start that put the team in the top 10.
bert said he had planned to wait until after the season ended to evaluate whether the 45-year-old Davis would return as coach next year, but Davis wouldn't wait.
Indiana president Adam Her-
Herbert said Davis initiated discussions before the Connecticut game on Feb. 4. They met again afterward and eventually agreed on an $800,000 buyout — a hefty price for an athletics department that has run a multimillion dollar deficit in recent years. Davis was scheduled to earn about $800,000 with outside income over the final two years of his contract.
At the news conference, Herbert and athletic director Rick Greenspan extolled Davis' successes — becoming the first coach in school history to win 20 games and reach the NCAA tournament in each of his first three seasons, leading the Hoosiers to the national championship game in 2002 and producing one of the nation's finest recruiting classes two years ago.
But fan unrest,unfinished business and incessant pressure led to Davis' decision.
"Every year there's been a rumor that coach Davis would not be here and every year I'm back," Davis said. "I wanted it to be on my terms."

If my calculations are correct, that's half as long as Simien. I guess pro scouts don't listen to Dick Vitale, after all.
And not so fast with the Snyder jokes. The 'beakers' have had their share of coaching problems, if my memory serves me. Some guy named Ralph, or something, right? Swoe it was his "last job" before he retired, or whatever. Maybe he's just volunteered at UNC. Did I say UNC? I meant, Defending National Champion UNC.
All right, now that was a low blow. Even we had a hard time hating Roy.
But if you've read this far, kudos. At least acknowledge that your University Daily Kansan counterpart writing in the Maneater has an easier task. Writing a derogatory column about Mizzou's season is about as difficult as beating Stevie Wonder at a game of darts. Sorry, Stevie.
In fact, I'll save you some time. Joe Pigeonhawk's column will read something like this: "You lost your coach, you lost to Baylor, and your winning percentage would make an impressive batting average."
Ha ha ha and we laugh all the way home.
But seeing as I'm running out of inches here, it's about time for some quasi-objective analysis. For all three of you who endured the cheap shots, here's some real insight before tomorrow's grudge match: These Tigers are angry. Angry about their season, their coach and their legacy at Mizzou.
Tomorrow will be their last opportunity to save their stripes.
And around here, that is no little thing.

Slowing Gardner key to pushing streak
KU Tip-off
AT A GLANCE
Kansas is riding a season high, eight-game winning streak and is ranked in the national polls for the first time this season at No. 22. The Jayhawks are led by freshman guards Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers, who are both averaging more than 15 points per game in conference play and may be fighting each other for the conference newcomer of the year award.
LAST TIME OUT
- Kansas' offense was no-where to be found on Monday against Oklahoma State in the game's opening 30 minutes. The Jayhawks finally came alive in the last 10 minutes. Sophomore guard Russell Robinson's three-point shot put Kansas up for good. The Jayhawks ended up winning by 15, but the score was not indicative of how close the game was.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Robinson. The New York City native will likely spend most of the game defending Missouri's leading scorer Thomas Gardner. Gardner scored 40 points the last time these two teams met, and Robinson will shoulder the majority of the load defending him
8 — Kansas is on an eight-game winning streak.
5 QUICK FACTS
2. The number of missed free throws with less than a second remaining by senior forward Christian Moody the last time Missouri and Kansas met on Jan.16.
2. 67 — The number of steals per game for Chalmers, who leads the conference.
2 — The number of players scoring in double figures for Kansas, after having just one for most of the season.
LOOKING AHEAD
36. 2 — Opponents average shooting percentage against Kansas.
♦ The Jayhawks need to keep winning. If Kansas can win tomorrow and next week against Baylor, it would set up a game next weekend against Texas that would likely decide who would win the regular-season conference title. The Jayhawks have surprised the conference with their ability to be good early in their careers, playing with virtually all freshmen and sophomores.
KEY TO VICTORY
- Stop Gardner. Gardner is the Big 12's leading scorer and is averaging nearly 20 points per game. Robinson will spend most of the time guarding him, but Rush and senior guard Jeff Hawkins could both see time on him. Gardner is the Tigers lone legitimate scorer and if the Jayhawks can stop him, expect them to win big.
No. 22 Kansas vs. Missouri, CBS 2:45 p.m., Saturday, Allen Fieldhouse
Kansas
Offense
The Kansas offense was effective the last time Missouri and Kansas met on Jan. 16, shooting a blistering 53.4 percent from the field. The problem in the last game in Columbia, Mo., was free throws. Kansas missed 14 free throws, which proved to be the difference in the game that Kansas lost in overtime. Kansas saw freshman guard Mario Chalmers open up his game offensively against Missouri in January. Chalmers has not slowed down since this time. He is averaging 15.3 points per game in conference play. The Kansas offense struggled against Oklahoma State on Monday until the final 10 minutes of the game, when Kansas sealed the 64-49 victory.
KU KU KU
Defense
Offense
Missouri
If it wasn't for its defense, Kansas wov likely have lost the game against Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks held the Cowboys to 37.5 percent shooting and stepped up their defensive pressure even more in the final minutes of the game. Kansas will need to be strong against Missouri's Thomas Gardner, who averages nearly 20 points per game. Gardner had 40 points the last time the teams met. Expect Kansas coach Bill Self to focus the majority of Kansas' defense on Gardner. Chalmers continues to be solid on the defensive end, leading the conference in steals at 2.67 a game.
In the last Missouri-Kansas game, it was the Thomas Gardner show. The junior guard lit up Kansas with 40 points and 7-of-14 three-point shots. Kansas had major problems defending him late in the ballgame, which led to Missouri's comeback. Since that game, Gardner's production has tailled off. In his past three games, Gardner has averaged just more than 12 points per game, down from his season total of 19.8. Gardner is the team's best offensive player, and the team normally relies on him heavily. Missouri's second leading scorer is senior guard Jimmy McKinney. McKinney is a veteran to the rivalry and has competed in nine games between the two schools.
KU KU KU KU
KANSAS
10
Defense
Missouri failed to contain freshman guard Mario Chalmers in the last game. Chalmers poured in 22 points and had eight assists. Missouri was more effective in guarding freshman guard Brandon Rush, who shot just 5-of-13 from the field. Gardner handled most of the defensive duties on Rush and made him dribble to his left on several occasions. The Tigers have allowed just more than 70 points a game on defense. Senior center KevinYoung is the team's best rebounder and grabs 7.6 boards per game. Sophomore guard Jason Horton is the team's most active perimeter defender, with 36 steals on the season. He will most likely get the assignment to guard Chalmers on defense.
Coaching
Self will see a different face on the opposing sideline on Saturday after former Missouri coach Quin Snyder resigned last week. Self will expect Missouri to look a little different under interim coach Melvin Watkins. Self has Kansas' young team one game out of first place in the conference. A match-up against Texas looms for next weekend. If Kansas continues to play at its current pace, having won 15 of the last 17 games, expect Self to win conference coach of the year honors and be mentioned for national coach of the year as well.

Coaching
Former Missouri coach Quin Snyder will not be roaming the sidelines for Missouri on Saturday. Instead, interim head coach Melvin Watkins will take his place. Snyder resigned from the head coach position one week ago. Watkins is no stranger to Allen Fieldhouse or the Big 12 Conference, though. He is the former coach of Texas A&M, where he was fired two seasons ago. Watkins is most known for going 0-16 in the conference with Texas A&M in his last season there. Watkins won the first Missouri game of his career, coaching the team to a 74-71 victory against Kansas State last Sunday.

COLLECTION
Daniel Berk
MU Tip-off
AT A GLANCE
It has been a horrific season for Missouri. After a 3-1 conference start, Missouri went on a six-game losing streak before finally winning last weekend against Kansas State. During the losing streak, Missouri lost every game by double figures. The poor play and lack of effort both contributed to former coach Quin Snyder's resignation. Missouri sits at 4-7 in the conference.
LAST TIME OUT
Missouri played its first game without Snyder and came away successful last Sunday in the 74-71 victory against Kansas State. Sophomore Marshall Brown led the team with 18 points, four rebounds and four assists. Junior guard Thomas Gardner was quiet in the game with just 11 points.
PLAYER TO WATCH
◆ Gardner. Every Kansas fan is aware that Gardner lit up Kansas for 40 points last game. Kansas defenders did everything but throw the kitchen sink at him. Three different players guarded him, but nothing worked. It's real simple: Missouri goes as Gardner goes. Freshman guard Brandon Rush and sophomore guard Russell Robinson should try to force Gardner to take bad shots on Saturday.
5 QUICK FACTS
15 — The number of Academic All Big 12 first or second team players interim coach Melvin Watkins produced while at Texas A&M.
6 — The number of games in a row that Missouri lost after beating Kansas on its home floor a month ago.
8 — The number of turnovers Gardner had last game against Kansas, despite his 40 points.
51. 9 — Missouri shot 51.9 percent from the field last game against Kansas State, up from its season average of 45.9.
75 — The number of three pointers Gardner has made on the year. This number is more than anyone else on his team has even attempted.
LOOKING AHEAD
- Missouri's future is uncertain at this time. Some of the players said they were not sure about their futures at the school after Snyder's resignation. Watkins needs another victory against a main rival to gain more respect from the players.
KEY TO VICTORY
- Play within itself. When Missouri struggles, it has a lot to do with the players trying to make too many plays. The Tigers must play composed basketball in a rowdy environment. Gardner will be the guy to watch again. When Missouri struggles, no other player lets his emotions be seen aside from Gardner. If he is upset and out of control, the Tigers will get blown out.

The Sooners lost to the Colorado Buffaloes on Wednesday, despite a 26-point outburst from junior guard Michael Neal. He was 7-of-14 from long range.

Colorado has won seven of its past nine games and is on a two-game winning streak. Colorado defeated No. 19 Oklahoma on Wednesday, in large part because of sophomore guard Richard Roby's 28 points and nine rebounds. Kansas State cannot seem to come away with a victory lately.

STUDENT LIFE
Downtown residences have perks
BY RACHEL PARKER
rparker@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Jeff Larson says he has been changed by the atmosphere of Massachusetts Street.
The Chicago junior has lived in a three bedroom apartment with one roommate on Massachusetts St. since August. He said living downtown is convenient, and he loves how easy it is to go out to eat, drink or shop.
He said that a downside is that he spends a lot more money and time out than he did when he didn't live downtown.
Even with all the perks of living above Chipotte, 911 Massachusetts St., where he can easily satisfy his urge for an oversized burrito, Larson still has his beefs about his living arrangement. He can't open his window without smelling the Mexican and Greek food from the kitchens below. He also said the exhaust fan at Chipotte vibrates his whole apartment.
The city street noise can also be a problem occasionally.
TJ., manager of Mad Greek Restaurant, 907 Massachusetts St. said the eatery has never had any noise complaints. However, the restaurant has had to send an employee to the residential units to ask them to turn down their stereo during business hours.
Some deny that they feel any differently about the area after the shooting outside the Granada, Larson said he feels as safe now as he did before.
While security changes have not been made since the shooting, the front and back doors for the stairwell that leads up to his apartment have locks and a pad to punch in an electronic password. A Lawrence security company patrols the area constantly.
Gavin Smith, general manager of Fatso's, 1016 Massachusetts St., said that while the shooting outside of the Granada was a tragedy, he thinks everyone downtown knows the incident was a freak occurrence.
"The Granada Theater and Massachusetts Street are as safe as they were two weeks ago," he said.
Smith said Fatso's has never had a noise complaint and said that residents should be aware they are living in a downtown area.
"I think people who live downtown have to know what they're getting into."

Self would not let Kansas let up during time-outs.
The Tigers didn't make many runs.
"Coach just said, kick them in the teeth," Rush, said. "Get them down and just kick them in the teeth. He kept on saying it every time they tried to make a run."
"Our guys are pretty loose. I think they would have been ready to play regardless of anything other than the fact that it is Missouri."

Kansas had squandered a double-digit lead in the final minutes of the last game in Columbia, Mo., in which Missouri prevailed in overtime, 89-86. on lan. 16.
"They just gave up at the end. They weren't even trying." Rush said. "They were playing careless and playing bad."
Careless
may not have even been the best way to describe Missouri's play in the first half. The Tigers committed 15 first-half turnovers and had just six re-bounds.
"I think today we got them pretty good." Self said. "I thought we did a really good job of controlling the game from the get go."

Activism, not fame inspires professor
BY MIKE MOSTAFFA
mmostaffa@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
In 1974, nearly 109 years after the end of the Civil War, 16-year-old Kevin Willmott smuggled a makeshift Molotov cocktail into his locker at Junction City High School, where he planned to ignite his homemade bomb in the men's restroom.
Willmott was protesting racial injustice at the school, where administrators had expelled only his fellow African-American students and not whites after an interracial fight. Today, the University of Kansas assistant professor of film describes this incident as his first tour of duty in a battle for racial equality that began with the Civil War and continues today.
The 48-year-old Willmott, whose film "CSA: The Confederate States of America" depicts what life might be like if the South won the war, said the movie "makes people see how the legacy of slavery is
still with us in many different ways. You could say that the Union Army won the war.The South won the peace."
Willmott has seen discrimination with his own eyes. He fell in love with a Kansas farm girl whose parents did not approve of their interracial relationship, battled to integrate his home town fire department and lead nonviolent sit-ins in front of the Junction City Chamber of Commerce to expose the good ole' boy system of awarding construction contracts to whites only.
Willmott's emancipation came in a friendship with a priest at a Catholic high school, who supported his dream to make it in the world of film and inspired him to go to college, a happy marriage with his wife, Becky, whom he met in college and eventually success as a film professor at the University and as screenwriter and director of a critically acclaimed film. Like all of Willmott's work, "CSA: The Confederate States of America," which was recognized
at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, captures the spirit of his social-activist past, a past forged by his experiences growing up in Junction City in the state once known as Bleeding Kansas.
As a child, Willmott did not need to study the impact slavery had on African Americans. His father, Lee, was born in 1898, only two years after the Supreme Court legitimized segregation in Plessy v. Ferguson, and had witnessed many acts of racial injustice long before son Kevin was born in 1958.
His father had built the family's house just a few blocks away from Ninth Street, near the district Willmott describes as "the Harlem of Kansas."
Ninth Street, which would become the title of his play and later an award-winning film, had dual roles in Junction City. It served as the African-American center of commerce and the source of gambling, drugs and prostitution for soldiers from nearby Fort Riley.

Multi-sport star James Bausch returned to the University on business as an Internal Revenue Service traveling auditor and met with his former track coach to stand in on a practice. Just seven years before, Bausch was tabbed as one of the finest athletes in the nation after winning a gold in the decathlon at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles that featured four other Lawrence natives.
While at Kansas he starred on the football team, and was dubbed "Jarring Jim" for his bruising 6'2" 200 pound frame as a full back. He also was a center for the basketball team and won the conference title in the shot put, discus and pault in his junior year of track. But Bausch left Kansas early when others speculated about a booster, promising Bausch a job at his insurance company if he were to transfer from Wichita State to Kansas. Other schools in the conference got wind of the speculation and ruled that it was illegal recruitment and threatened to kick Kansas out of the Big Six. Kansas was forced to cut Bausch from the team in late 1950. Two years later he won the gold medal.

Dr. Franklin D. Murphy, a man President Dwight D. Eisenhower said he trusted, was named the dean of School of Medicine at the University and was the youngest in the nation at his position. Gene Budig named him one of the "giants of KU history," and it comes to no surprise that many believe that Murphy was the most influential Chancellor ever to hold the position at the University. After serving only three years and after helping secure more doctors in small towns, Murphy was named Chancellor of the University of Kansas after Deane W. Malott left Kansas for the presidency at Cornell University. Murphy made it his goal to continue improving the School of Medicine and by 1959 had more than quadrupled its budget putting it at nearly $10 million and increased its staff from 300 to 530 people. In 1960, after a three-year feud with Governor George Docking, Murphy resigned and took over as Chancellor at UCLA leaving Kansas to a partner who was by his side through it all, W. Clark Wescoe.
Community stresses reform
IMMIGRATION
BY FRID A. DAVIS III
fdavis@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Immigration reform is a contentious topic in the United States, and that notion is not lost on the Latino Community Coalition of Douglas County. The coalition is trying to raise awareness and educate Douglas County residents about the issue.
At a community immigration forum hosted by the Latino Coalition Thursday, the forum brought in Melinda Lewis, director of policy advocacy and research at El Centro Inc., of Kansas City, Kan. Lewis spoke about the current immigration reform legislation proposed at the state
Lewis spoke in both English and Spanish to a crowd of nearly 125 in the basement of the St. John the Evangelist Church about what residents of Douglas County could do to influence immigration reform.
and federal government levels.
Members from the University of Kansas organizations including the Hispanic American Leadership Organization and Migrant Worker Solidarity attended.
"Poll's show that most people want reasonable solutions to immigration," Lewis said, citing the need for less restrictive paths to citizenship.
She was adamant that in order to see favorable immigration legislation, people need to call their
congressman or woman and voice their concerns.
"But the only people calling their congress people are the ones asking for walls along the border," she said.
Lydia Leon, facilitator of the Latino Community Coalition, said the forum was the first of its type in the community this year.
Victor Aguilar, president of HALO, was pleased with the forum's and the education that the coalition has offered Douglas County residents.
"It's important to inform people, that's the main thing," Aguilar said.
Aguilar, Dodge City junior said that not enough people had received good information about immigration and
instead have based their opinions on what they had heard from "talking heads," like Bill O'Reilly or Lou Dobbs. As for immigration reform in the state of Kansas, Aguilar said the state's doing a decent job, but that Hispanics needed better representation.
Beth Chronister, Topeka senior, said the event's message was important to the changing face of Kansas. Amritta Davis, Kansas City, Kan., senior, who volunteers for the Latino Coalition, summed up the forum's message and its intent: "Immigration is not just a Latino or minority issue, it's an issue for all Americans."

"He hates his children, he treats his wife like dirt, he gets high all day," he said, quoting his critics. "If I was that bad, you think anyone, let alone Britney, would put up with it?"
But it already can't get worse, the dancer and husband of pop star Britney Spears told Newsweek for its issue on newsstands Monday.
He has released his single "PopoZae" on his Web site. It got 2 million hits in eight days, he said, which proves there's interest.

Powerball winner laying low after buying longest lottery jackpot
LINCOLN, Neb. — Someone, somewhere held the only winning ticket for the record $365 million Powerball jackpot, but likely wasn't in a rush to come forward, Nebraska lottery officials said Sunday.
NATIONAL
The only ticket matching the winning numbers drawn Saturday night for the multistate lottery was sold at a U-Stop convenience store in Lincoln, Nebraska Lottery spokesman Brian Rockey said.
It was the biggest jackpot on record for any lottery in the United States.
No one had come forward to claim the jackpot Sunday, Rockey said.
"We don't know if the winner knows yet," he said.
Even when the lucky individual or group realizes it, they might not leap into the public eye.
"We have found ... that they tend to wait until they have sought legal counsel or financial counsel", Jim Haynes, acting director of the Nebraska Lottery, said of large jackpot winners.

Cartoons spark more protesting
BY MATTHEW PENNINGTON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistani security forces arrested hundreds of Islamic hard-liners, virtually sealed off the capital and used gunfire and tear gas Sunday to quell protests against caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.
Pakistan had banned protests after riots killed five people in two cities last week.
Elsewhere in the Muslim world on Sunday, demonstrators with wooden staves and stones tried unsuccessfully to storm the U.S. Embassy in Indonesia, while tens of thousands rallied in the Turkish city of Istanbul and complained about negative Western perceptions of Islam.
Troops patrolled the deserted streets of the northern Nigerian town of Maiduguri, where thousands of Muslims attacked Christians and burned churches Saturday, killing at least 15 people during a protest over the cartoons. Most of the victims were beaten to death by rioters.
In Saudi Arabia, newspapers ran full-page apologies by Jyllands-Posten, the Danish newspaper that first ran the caricatures in September. The newspaper's Web site said businesses placed the ad on their own initiative, using an apology issued by the newspaper late last month. It did not identify the companies or say if they were Danish.
Boycotts of Danish products throughout the Muslim world have taken a heavy toll on Denmark's exporters, especially those selling Denmark's famed dairy products.
The cartoons, which have been reprinted by other Western publications, have outraged Muslims. But protests over the past three weeks have grown into a broader anger against the West in general, and Israel and the United States in particular.
Demonstrations have turned increasingly violent and claimed at least 45 lives worldwide, including 11 in Afghanistan during a three-day span two weeks ago and 10 on
Friday in the Libyan coastal city of Benghazi. The Libyan riot outside the Italian consulate apparently was sparked by a right-wing Italian Cabinet minister who wore a T-shirt with a caricature of Muhammad.
On Sunday, thousands of police and paramilitary troops manned armored personnel carriers and sandbag bunkers in and around Islamabad to block a planned rally organized by a coalition of hardline Islamic parties that sympathizes with the former Taliban regime in Afghanistan and is fiercely anti-American.
As roadblocks went up around the capital, authorities declared they would arrest anyone joining a gathering of more than five people.
Maulana Fazlur Rahman, an opposition leader who denounced the government ban as unconstitutional, was allowed to stage a small rally
with eight other opposition lawmakers and a few supporters.
They chanted "God is great!" and "Anny friend of America is a traitor."
But police fired tear gas and guns to chase off hundreds of stone-throwing protesters who tried to join the rally and then enter an enclave where most foreign embassies are. The three-hour clash left the street littered with rocks and spent tear gas shells. An Associated Press reporter saw two injured police, one bleeding from his head, and several injured protesters.
Interior Minister Aftab Khan Sherpao said police fired tear gas, but denied they fired guns. The private Geo TV network said officers fired rubber bullets.
Qazi Hussain Ahmad, a top leader of the hardline Islamic coalition, the Mutahida Majlis-e-Amal (United Action Forum), was confined to his
Lahore residence and others were detained or told to stay at home, police said.
"These people could create problems of law and order," said Chaudry Shfaqat Ahmed, chief investigator of the Lahore police.
In Karachi, Pakistan's largest city, police said 15,000 coalition supporters, most wearing white shrugs of mourning splashed with red paint to symbolize their willingness to die defending the prophet's honor, rallied peacefully.
Hundreds of Muslims burned a church in the southern city of Sukkur. No worshippers were inside at the time, but one person was hurt afterward when police fired tear gas.
Local police chief Akbar Arian said the riot was not sparked by the cartoons but by allegations that a local Christian had burned pages of Islam's holy book, the Quran.

FILM BY DAVID WILSON

Kevin Willmott, KU assistant professor of theater and film, left, poses with renowned filmmaker Spike Lee after Lee gave a lecture at the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2004. Lee agreed to be executive producer for Willmott's film "CSA: The Confederate States of America,"
Willmott
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Willmott's passion for social activism can be linked to his mother's role in the African-American community. He described his mother, Ruth, as a "mother to the streets." Ruth ran a pool hall on Ninth Street and helped raise the children of prostitutes, a line of work some African-American women in Junction City were forced into because of sparse employment opportunities.
Willmott grew up near Junction City High School, which he attended until his Molotov cocktail plan, a protest of the school's decision to expel only the African-American students involved in an interracial fight.
Willmott said he could still remember the grin on the principal's face as he told him how happy he was to finally bust him. Then the vice principal asked Willmott if he played sports. When Willmott answered no, he was arrested and expelled from school.
"Had I played sports, I would have been considered a Negro of some worth." Willmott said.
That summer Willmott got a job mowing the lawn of a cemetery affiliated with the city's Catholic high school, St. Xavier. At a time when Willmott thought all might be lost, Father Frank Coady entered the picture like a hero in a movie scene.
Coady, a newly ordained priest, sympathized with Willmott's situation and got him enrolled at St. Xavier, where he was the only African American in his graduating class. Initially, Willmott rejected Coady's pleas to go to college, but he did share Coady's enthusiasm for film. For most people in his neighborhood, "going to college was like going to the moon," Willmott said.
But it wouldn't be long before he bought into what Coady was selling. After spending two years saving up money, Willmott enrolled in Marymount College of Salina, a decision he would never regret.
Willmott's experience at Marymount was a mixture of incredible joy and sorrow. His freshman year he fell in love with his future wife, Becky, a white farm girl from rural Hanover.
Becky's parents would grow to love their future-in-law, but not before an initial period of disapproval. Becky said her parents "threatened
Although Becky may have stopped talking about her love for Kevin, she never stopped expressing it.
to take away my car and basically let me know they didn't want to hear about it, so I stopped talking about it."
During Willmott's junior year his father died and his mother became severely ill. Becky, who was working long hours as a nurse, drove Willmott 45 miles back to Junction City four times a week to visit his ailing mother. Willmott said during
this difficult time in his life, Becky "was the crutch" he leaned on.
During those trips, Willmott began to work on his play "Ninth Street," which he based on his experiences growing up. He produced the play for his senior project and it was a huge success. After the final production, Willmott held a discussion with audience members. Someone asked Willmott if he wanted to become a Hollywood filmmaker or a New York playwright. Without a moment's hesitation he replied, "I
want to be an activist."
Coady recalls being in the audience that night. He said Willmott's answer did not surprise the few who really knew the talented young writer.
After receiving a bachelor's degree in drama from Marymount, Willmott went back home to Junction City to begin the activism that in his mind was long overdue. His first goal was to integrate the city's fire department, which had never hired a minority fireman in its 144-year existence.
"That shocked everyone, but that's just Kevin. He isn't interested in producing movies or plays to become famous or to make money. His real passion is justice." Coady said.
Willmott was motivated by an experience he had as a teenager working as a janitor at the city's municipal building. A fireman had brought him up to their living quarters, where African Americans were not allowed, but Willmott was granted access, he was told, "because he was one of the good ones," he said.
Teaming up with Coady in the early 1980s, the two men created a campaign that led not only to the integration of the city's fire department in 1984, but a total overhaul of the city's hiring practices for all government jobs.
Willmott's campaign to integrate the city's fire department had earned him a reputation as an activist leader. When desperate minority contractors had a dire need for a leader in their campaign against the powerful Junction City Chamber of Commerce, Willmott was the man they turned to.
Several key members of the Chamber were also contractors. It was a clear conflict of interest for minority contractors who were forced to sit and watch the all-white chamber award themselves one low-income housing project contract after another, he said.
The day after Christmas 1984, Willmott, inspired by the non-violent protests led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., took a peaceful army of protesters to the city's Chamber of Commerce building for a lie-in demonstration.
Armed with nothing more than chants, songs and protest signs, they took over the small building by simply lying down in front of the door. Angered, chamber members responded by uttering racial slurs and scuffling with protestors. The lie-in proved to be a key victory in the war for fair contracting.
"It drove them nuts. Nothing like this had ever happened to them before. The city didn't know how to respond to us," Willmott said.
Willmott took his passion for activism to filmmaking. After receiving a master's degree from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, he decided to turn his "Ninth Street" play into the film he always dreamed it would become.

Willmott started his film company, Hodcarrier Films, and named it after the back-breaking construction job his father had worked for many years, which became a "perfect metaphor for trying to make independent movies," Willmott said. "Ninth Street" took a grueling eight years to finish because of struggles with wary investors and shoe-string budgets.
Willmott, always the activist, said his greatest work during this time was not his role as director of "Ninth Street," but his role in turning around the life of a homeless man, Pedro Boren, whom he met during his school days in New York City.
Boren was in his fifties and battling alcoholism, drug abuse and HIV. Willmott took Boren back to Kansas to
bunks who drinks blue-collar beer like Miller High Life. He likes to relax by listening to his collection of legends of R & B and Jazz, such as Isaac Hayes and John Coltrane.
The family moved to Lawrence when Becky got a job as a nurse at St. Joseph Health Center in nearby Kansas City, Mo. Willmilt, who had connections with Lawrence's movie scene, was later asked to teach KU film classes.
"When you see someone make it, success no longer seems so abstract."
Aside from his activism and filmmaking, Willmott's greatest joy is helping future filmmakers produce their own movies.
Greg Albrecht, a former student in the advanced screen writing class, said Willmott pro-
train him to work in the movie business. Willmill took Boren into his home and helped him in much the same way his mother had cared for Junction City's impoverished during his childhood.
Willmott's oldest son, Berrigan, 22, (named after peace activist Daniel Berrigan, who Willmott heard speak in college) remembers how Boren was considered part of the family, with both men benefiting from their relationship.
Greg Albrecht Former KU student
"My father needed dedicated people to help him make 'Ninth Street,' and Pedro needed a dedicated friend to help him turn his life around," Berrigan said.
At his suburban home on the west side of Lawrence with his wife Becky and five children — Berrigan, 22, William, 20, Kevin, 16, Ruth, 11, and Jody, 8, — Willmott is an average Joe, dressed in jeans and white Ree-

vided him with the knowledge and confidence he needed to break through as an independent filmmaker.
Albrecht recalls talking with one of the actors from "CSA: The
Confederate States of America," who described Willmott as a "success waiting to happen," something that stuck with Albrecht. "When you see someone make it, success no longer seems so abstract," Albrecht said.
As a teacher, Willmott has the ability to inject dark humor in serious subject matter, a skill he developed when he took a brief stab at performing stand-up comedy. He says his best impression was doing actor John Wayne as a pimp. In his History of African American Images in Cinema class, students cannot help but giggle when Willmott points out that Will Smith's character's biggest concern in the Legend of Bagger Vance "was teaching Matt Damon how to play golf" in 1930s Georgia, where many African-American males were worried about being lynched.
Albrecht recalls one lecture when Willmott warned his future filmmakers "that in Hollywood it is OK to make movies about masturbating in pies, just don't try to make movies that tackle real issues."
"CSA: The Confederate
States of America," is the epitome of an edgy, emotional and thought-provoking film — the kind of film Hollywood executives avoid.
While the film terrified Hollywood big shots, it wowed African-American movie pioneer Spike Lee, who offered his name as executive producer to aid Willmott's search for a distribution company.
That search did not last long. Jonathan Sehring, president of IFC Entertainment, saw the film at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival and jumped at the chance to sign the film to a distribution deal. The confrontational film "is exactly the kind of project that IFC embraces; it asks more questions than it answers," Sehring said.
The main question the film asks audiences: Are Americans living in the United States of America or the Confederate States of America? If you ask Willmott, Americans are living in a bit of both.
Willmott argues that "the southern ideals" opposing civil rights are still guiding the country today. For evidence of that legacy, he points to today's struggles for women's rights, the ongoing debate regarding gay rights and even the country's handling of the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and how the hurricane's impact fell most heavily on a population that was both poor and African American.
He said the government dropped the ball on a chance to show the world just how united the country really is by dedicating more resources to the rebuilding process in the southern states.
"If America was really The UNITED States of America, you go down there and you start rebuilding, and you take pride in the fact you can rebuild a city from the ground up." Willmott said.
There is some irony in the fact that 109 years after the North prevailed against the South in the Civil War, an African-American filmmaker and activist from Bleeding Kansas played the role of a rebel against the Confederate States of America.

Body scandal prompts fear
BY LINDSEY TANNER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Every year more than 1 million Americans have medical procedures that use bone or other tissue from a cadaver — like disk replacements or dental implants.
But what if the donated tissue came from someone who died of cancer? Or AIDS? Or hepatitis?
That worry caused by a ghoulish scandal in the body parts business has led to distress for hundreds of people, and some prospective patients are now reconsidering how they want their surgeries done.
Experts familiar with the situation say patients' chances of getting a disease from the suspect tissue are small, but doctors are urging them to be tested.
"What it does to the whole public perception of bone and all other grafts can be catastrophic." said Dr. Stephen Pineda, an orthopedic surgeon in Springfield, Ill.
Investigators are trying to determine if a New Jersey company, Biomedical Tissue Services of Fort Lee, sold bone and tissue illegally obtained from corpse that were too old, sick or otherwise ineligible to be donors. BTS closed last month.
The Food and Drug Administration and federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say the risk of infection is low but unknown. So dozens of hospitals have contacted hundreds of patients around the country who got body parts traced to the company between early 2004 and September 2005. They are being offered testing for AIDS, hepatitis and syphilis.
Those are the three illnesses that the FDA requires donor tissue to be tested for, singled out because they cause long-lasting infections that pose a greater risk of transmission through transplanted tissue than short-lived infections.
But some patients worry about tissue or bone from bodies weakened by cancer, age or
other ailments. Doctors concede that's theoretically possible but unlikely to cause problems with the grafts.
Carol Yates, a Marion, Ohio grandmother, is among patients advised to get tested and has set up a Web site to give recipients of the suspect tissue a chance to share their concerns with others.
"All it's done is caused me a lot of worry." Yates said. "I haven't taken the test yet. If it came back positive, I couldn't handle that right now."
Yates,47,said her doctor told her in December that BTS bone was used in her neck surgery a year ago.
Unused body parts linked to the case have been recalled. Companies that process the tissue for medical use are required to test and sterilize it. But still, some patients awaiting operations are scared.
In the past week, two of Pineda's patients have refused donor parts and want to use their own bone for their surgeries. It's a riskier, costlier and more painful option that Pineda said most patients used to shun. He calls their reaction "completely understandable."
"People are worried." Pineda said. "We've been fielding 10 calls a day on this from patients."
It's likely that only a tiny portion of patients who got bone or tissue grafts during the last two years received tissue from BTS, said Robert Rigney, chief executive officer at the American Association of Tissue Banks.
The association accredits 91 tissue banks nationwide, including a few in Canada. They account for most of the cadaver tissue used for transplants, Rigney said.
BTS was not association-accredited, but the five processing companies that got BTS tissue are, Rigney said. They have strict monitoring and test tissue for communicable diseases, he said.
Tissue from about 450,000 donors is rejected each year because it is diseased or otherwise ineligible. he said.

Bush plans tour to exhibit energy plan
NATION
BY JENNIFER LOVEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Record-high gasoline prices have dropped, yet there are fears another surge is around the corner. Larger heating bills this winter are still sucking it to American wallets.
With the renewed focus on an issue of top concern to Americans, they hope to keep high energy costs from dampening consumer enthusiasm and the country's economic revival — and to prevent Democrats from using it as a potent weapon in this fall's congressional elections.
Amid those anxieties, President Bush is making it "energy week" in his administration, and he and top Cabinet officials plan to crisscross the country to tout a package of energy initiatives highlighted in last month's State of the Union address.
"The best way to meet our growing energy needs is through advances in technology," Bush said Saturday in his weekly radio address. "We will pursue promising technologies that will transform how we power our vehicles, businesses and homes — so we can reduce our nation's dependence on foreign sources of energy."
One of Bush's proposals would expand research into smaller, longer-lasting batteries for electric-gas hybrid cars, including plug-ins. The president will highlight that initiative with a visit Monday to the battery center at Milwaukee-based auto-parts supplier
Johnson Controls Inc.
Proposed increased investment in the development of clean electric power sources are the focus of a stop later that day at a solar panel plant in suburban Detroit. The United Solar Ovonic plant in Auburn Hills, Mich., plans to dramatically increase production capacity.
Its parent company, Energy Conversion Devices Inc., is working on hydrogen fuel cells to power cars — a technology Bush often touts and has proposed supporting with additional federal research dollars but that most experts say will not be ready for two or three decades.
On Tuesday, with a stop at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo., the president highlights
his proposals to speed the development of biofuels such as "cellulosic" ethanol made from wood chips or sawgrass.
Six Cabinet officers are scheduled to appear at more than two dozen energy-related events in more than a dozen states over the week.
Bush said in his State of the Union address that he aimed to replace three-fourths of the country's oil imports from the Middle East over the next 19 years by increasing spending on research into such renewable fuels as a substitute for gasoline.
But even his own Cabinet members and top aides have acknowledged that, because of the way the global oil markets work, it is virtually impossible to actually replace imports from a specific region.

OUR OPINION
Drug policy harms neediest students
PAGE 7A
At least 175,000 people have been denied federal financial aid since 2000 because of their drug convictions, according to Students for a Sensible Drug Policy, a students' rights advocacy group.
It all began with the Higher Education Act, which originated more than 30 years ago to provide financial aid and improve educational opportunities for low-income populations. In 1998, an amendment to the HEA, known as the Drug Provision, introduced restrictions for students with previous drug offenses. The provision dictates that a student convicted once of possession is ineligible to apply for federal aid for a year. A second possession offense, or one selling offense, means a student is ineligible for two years.
The Drug Provision is a blanket policy that does not take into consideration students on an individual basis and is flawed for various other reasons. First, the convicted students are already "at-risk." Denying aid to these students is more likely to result in them dropping out of college, because they cannot afford it. Would they really do fewer drugs if they couldn't go to college? Second, to limit the number of deserving students eligible for federal aid is counterproductive. There's already a minimum GPA requirement for receiving aid, so essentially the Drug Provision only affects students who are doing well in school. And third, it tries to be somewhat helpful by including a provision stating a student can resume eligibility for aid if he or she completes a drug rehabilitation program that meets certain requirements. Yet the student is expected to foot the bill. How can someone be expected to pay for drug rehab when he or she is poor enough in the first place to qualify to apply for aid?
Issue: Denial of federal aid and drug convictions
Stance: The penalty for drug convictions is too severe.
It doesn't just affect federal aid either. According to the Coalition for Higher Education Act Reform, 11 states, including Kansas, follow the federal eligibility guidelines when they could determine their own guidelines for state financial aid. The Kansas Board of Regents awards aid packages to individual universities and advises each to follow the federal eligibility guidelines.
Recently, the House of Representatives passed a bill that changed part of the Drug Provision. It says people who weren't in school at the time of conviction could apply for aid. That may help non-traditional students but for students still enrolled in school it does nothing.
- Malinda Osborne for the editorial board
The Drug Provision needs to be repealed entirely. Students with drug convictions are already being punished by the courts, school administrators and their parents. The federal and state government shouldn't have to get involved as well. We all make mistakes. Students with drug convictions shouldn't have to pay such a hefty price for theirs.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Danish cartoons threaten free speech
What many may celebrate as the triumph of "freedom of speech," many others are forced to acknowledge as its failure. Publishing the Danish cartoons defaming the Prophet Muhammad was an act of free expression. But it is also, in essence, a tragic abuse of that same right
What was the purpose of the Danish cartoons? It was tasteless humor, perhaps. Indeed, the Danish cartoons probably entertained a few people, and hurt about a billion Muslims in a world with escalating religious tensions.
We as Muslims of KU condemn all acts of violence conducted in ignorance and contrary to the ways of the beloved prophet. We condemn all similar acts of abuse of the precious right to freedom of speech.
As Muslims, we hold the Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings be upon him, in higher regard and dearer to us than any other human being, even our parents. We are deeply hurt when he is defamed in any manner. When our Prophet was ridiculed and slandered, words could not describe our distress.
Not all global citizens will agree with that view. To many, not publishing the cartoons would be an act of cowardice, or yielding to unreasonable Muslim
demands at the expense of freedom of speech. But it is easy to overlook that one objective, perhaps the sole objective, of the right to free speech is the harmonious co-existence of individuals with strikingly different views.
We salute The University Daily Kansan's decision not to publish the cartoons, and its stance: "Our paper didn't think it was ethical to publish cartoons that show the prophet Muhammad, which by itself is forbidden in the Muslim faith, in such an offensive light."
Most respectable periodicals in the United States today would simply not publish humorous cartoons about the holocaust. The New York Times and many others did not publish the offensive cartoons. While many are appalled by this stance and are even labeling it as censorship, we salute it as a celebration of human dignity.
It is clear that the only path of healing and progress is one involving education and understanding. Perhaps it is our duty to explain why we, as Muslims, are so deeply hurt by the cartoons in the first place. Many non-Muslims are wrongfully defaming him, while many Muslims continue to earn a reputation for violence.

CHENEY HUNTING STORY
MARGULIES

COMMENTARY
Americans should act to prevent genocide
It was certainly a surprise to hear that Dick Cheney accidentally shot his hunting partner; it's not every day that our Vice President shoots someone.
But if this concept is shocking to you, you'd be absolutely horrified by the actions of the rulers of another country on the other side of the world.
This is a nation that has funded the murder of 400,000 of its people, the displacement of 2.5 million people from their homes and the brutal rape of countless thousands of women, all innocent of any crime except being of a certain race.
And the worst part is, while everyone knows about the Cheney incident, only a precious few are aware of these terrible acts committed by a government half a world away.
The country is the African nation of Sudan, and the victims are the citizens of Darfur, a western region of the country.
Like the Holocaust, like Saddam Hussein's killing of the Kurds and like the slaughtering of the Tutsi tribe depicted in "Hotel Rwanda," this is genocide. And like those instances, the rest of the world is sitting by and letting it happen.
The United Nations defines genocide as taking action to destroy a group of people linked by nationality, ethnicity, race or religion. Killing masses of

MATT ERICKSON

people for who they are, not for what they've done, is the most despicable, the most disgusting, the most unfortunate of all acts
According to savedarfur.org, after rebel groups from Darfur attacked the Sudanese government in 2003, the government enlisted the help of Arab militias, sometimes called the "Janjaweed," to clear people out of the areas that were rebelling.
The Ianjaweed did so by arbitrarily killing and displacing thousands of innocent African civilians, while also looting villages and raping women. These atrocities continue today.
The government-funded Janjaweed — whose members are of Arab descent — are trying to wipe out Darfur's citizens of African race.
You've heard no public outy about this because few people know about it and because the national media have reported little to nothing about it.
One study, released by the American Progress Action Fund and the Genocide Intervention
Fund, found that major network and cable TV programs devoted 50 times as much coverage to Michael Jackson's trial as they did to Darfur during June 2005, while giving Tom Cruise's antics 12 times as much and the "Runawav Bride" four times as much.
For those of you keeping score at home, that's a total of 66 times more coverage devoted to complete, utter ridiculousness than was devoted to a genocide that has taken thousands of lives.
The late Sen. Paul Simon once said that the Rwandan genocide of the 1990s might have been stopped by the United States if just 100 people in each congressional district had written letters demanding action. Of course, that didn't happen.
But there is still time to make it happen for the people of Darfur. Write the president, your congressman or the editor of a local or national newspaper, asking them all to focus more attention on the issue. Look for campus organizations devoted to Darfur or other humanitarian crises.
Now that you know about Darfur, you can do something about it. There are still thousands of lives left to save.

GUEST COLUMN GUIDELINES
The giant paw prints painted on the outside of the building are the first indication that the Lawrence Humane Society cares about the well-being of animals. This branch of the Humane Society, located at 1805 E. 19th St., acts as an advocate for all animals in the Lawrence community. It takes in the truly tired, hungry and tempest-tossed, and provides a blanket, a bowl of food and the promise of a better life. All of which could not be more graciously accepted by any bodies but those covered in fur.
There are also ways you can aid the Humane Society without opening your pockets. Volunteers are always welcome
MIRIAM KENNEDY
The Humane Society is a nonprofit organization. Its funding comes entirely from donations and fundraisers. The smallest donation makes a gigantic difference. Just $1, the cost of a pop from the vending machine, feeds an animal for a day. Donating $10 vaccinates one animal. Every single kitten at the Lawrence Humane Society can be fed for a day on just $25. The Society also gladly accepts any donations of dog and cat food, cat litter, towels, dog and cat bowls, and dog and cat tows.
COMMENTARY
Animals deserve a helping hand
According to its Web site, the Lawrence Humane Society saves the lives of 6,000 animals, supports 800 cruelty investigations, and provides 2,000 critters with homes all in one year. That is a tremendous amount of work, but the staff finds it very rewarding. Charles Holt, who has worked at the Lawrence Humane Society for over a year, said he enjoyed his job. "I like helping out the animals," Holt said. "It's nice placing them in homes and ensuring they will be taken care of."
EDITORIAL BOARD
All of these wonderful accom plishments come at a large price to the Humane Society. It harbors more animals than there is money with which to aid them.

Jordan, Malinda Osborne
"I think we have about 700 right now," Holt said of the resident animals.
Caring for all the animals requires an overwhelming amount of supplies. The Lawrence Humane Society lists all the extreme numbers of each supply needed on its Web site. For instance, it requires 800 pounds of dog food to feed all the dogs at the Society for just one day. In one month, 4.5 tons of cat litter are used. It costs the society $600,000 annually to care for its animals. So, where do they get all that money?

Israel says it won't give to new Palestine
BY RAVI NESSMAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM - Israel branded the Palestinian government a "terrorist authority" Sunday and halted the transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars in tax money after Hamas took control of the Palestinian parliament.
But the Israeli government held off on adopting even more drastic measures recommended by security officials, mindful of possible international reaction.
The sanctions came as the Palestinian militant group worked to consolidate its power and form a government, nominating one of its more pragmatic leaders, Ismail Haniyeh, to be the new prime minister.
Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, was scheduled to meet with Haniyeh in Gaza on Monday and formally ask him to assemble a Cabinet, a task Haniyeh would have five weeks to complete. Haniyeh said Hamas would begin talks with possible coalition partners Monday.
Also Sunday, Israeli troops killed four Palestinians in two separate incidents.
The Islamic group, which calls for the destruction of Israel and has carried out scores of deadly suicide bombings against Israelis, trounced Abbas' corruption-riddled Fatah Party in Jan. 25 elections, winning 74 of 132 parliament seats.
Israel and Western countries demanded the group renounce violence and recognize Israel's
right to exist, but Hamas resisted pressure to moderate. The group took control of the Palestinian legislature when the new parliament was sworn in Saturday.
"The PA is — in practice — becoming a terrorist authority," acting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told his Cabinet at the beginning of its meeting Sunday. "Israel will not hold contacts with a government in which Hamas takes part."
The Cabinet decided to stop the transfer of the roughly $55 million a month it collects in taxes and tariffs on behalf of the Palestinian Authority. The order did not specify when the payments would stop, but government spokesman Asaf Shariv said the next payment, scheduled for early March, "won't take place."
Army Radio quoted Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz saying the cutoff would be reviewed each month.
The Palestinian Authority relies on that money to help pay the salaries of roughly 140,000 government employees, including about 57,000 in the security forces.
Should the government, the Palestinians' largest employer, be forced to lay off tens of thousands of workers, it would lead to increased chaos and poverty in Palestinian towns throughout the West Bank and Gaza.
Palestinian experts estimate that the Palestinian budget shortfall is about $1 billion a year, and the Israel-collected funds would cover about half.

Extra innings help Jayhawks
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
No. 30 Kansas (7-4) finished its weekend trip to Los Angeles yesterday and defeated Vanderbilt in 11 innings, 5-2.
It took a long time, though.
Although Vanderbilt scored first, scraping in two unearned runs in the sixth innings, Kansas scored all of its runs in the eighth and eleventh innings.
Vanderbilt came into the game defeating USC, 6-2, in its previous outing.
Kansas coach Ritch Price said stopping Vanderbilt's momentum after a victory like it had over USC had done a lot for the team's confidence.
"We managed to salvage the weekend, obviously." Price said.
Although Kansas dropped games to USC and San Diego earlier in the weekend, the team put together a much-needed victory in extra innings.
Megan True/KANSAN
Both teams' bats were quiet much of the final game at the Public Storage Classic.
Senior pitcher Kodiak Quick (1-1) and Vanderbilt pitcher Cody Crowell (0-0) received no decisions for their 5.2 and seven inning starts, respectively.
Quick allowed two runs, which Vanderbilt generated from a bases-loaded error. A pair of lead-off hits and a walk pushed Quick out of the game in the sixth inning.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Showdown brings out fans' fervor
BY ERIC JORGENSEN

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas fans cheered during a brief power outage before the men's basketball game Saturday. Then they started booing when the lights came back on and they had to continue watching the Missouri Tigers warm up.
From the 8 a.m. camping lottery last Sunday, through the darkness of the power outage, and after the Jayhawks won the tip-off, fans were energized and eager for redemption against their border rival.
Fans pretended to coach, wore retro KU warm-ups and one fan even shaved "KU" into his head. Fans did anything they could to intimidate the Missouri players and help Kansas win. It was typical Kansas-Missouri squabbling.
Thousands of students camped last week, eager to continue the rivalry.
Virgil Angleton, Wichita junior, is a member of the camping group that was first in line and first in Allen Fieldhouse. Seated behind the bench, Angleton was relaxed but excited before joining thousands in the tip-off roar.
"I'm getting great seats," Angleton said.
Angleton and his group had camped since the Sunday lottery and maintained their position in front of more than 130 groups for seven days.
Like most games, giant signs were in full force, blanketing the fieldhouse fans.
One row of signs was visible in every corner of the arena. With red writing lined in silver glitter, the anti-Missouri mantra "Muck Fizzou" was easy to read. When the signs were flipped around, they read "Where's Quin?"
Wichita freshmen Becca Fenili, Maygan Clasen, Kelly Cogman, Andrea Pearce and Jessica Richardson all helped hold the flashy signs. Attending their first basketball border showdown as students, the girls were jubilated with their close seats.
"Freakin' TV man," Coglman said of their nearfront location.
The game was broadcast by CBS.
LIFE OF BRIAN
Saturday's game warrants a refund
SEE FANS ON PAGE 4B
Dear Mizzou Basketball Team.
In regard to Saturday's game, I am writing to request a refund for the ticket that I purchased. I purchased the Student Athletics Ticket Pack for $125, or $5 per game for each home basketball and football game.
I made this purchase with the understanding that representative basketball teams from various academic institutions would travel to Lawrence to compete against the Jayhawks — and in turn entertain me.
This did not happen on Saturday, and as a result, I want my $5 back. It shouldn't be very hard for you to find your money. Just ask your favorite alumnus Ricky Clemons for some of that cash back. If you're looking for him, I'd suggest starting at White Castle.
You can send cash or check to the following address:

Sorry, no money orders.
Now, I'm an understanding guy,
Mizzou. I know you've had a rough
couple of weeks. After the mighty
Baylor Bears took you out to the
woodshed, Gary Link, one of your
radio announcers, fired your head
coach — a job responsibility I didn't
know radio announcers had. For
Kansas' sake, let's hope Bill Self
doesn't make any jokes about Max
Falkenstein anytime soon.
Your situation would be laughable if it weren't so sad. OK, fine, it's
BRIAN WACKER
bwacker@kansan.com
sad and laughable.
And you know what the worst part is? There is no silver lining here. You won't be better any time soon, which means we here in the Free State will have to stomach more games like Saturday's.
But your pathetically-run athletics department aside, your performance on Saturday was unacceptable for any game, let alone a game against one of your biggest rivals.
You literally went more than 15 straight minutes in the second half without a field goal. Your bench played 48 minutes and scored a grand total of three points. The Jayhawks out-rebounded you by a ratio of more than 2-to-1.
Beating you so badly is about as fun as drop-kicking a three-legged dog. Initially, it sounds fun, but once you've done it, you just wish the dog would've put up more of a fight.
So as I wait for my $5, I'll be pondering as to what I'm going to spend it on — ah, who am I kidding? I'm gonna get some Chick-fil-A.
You guys have quit, and it's an embarrassment. You're a terrible rival.
With Love,
Brian Wacker

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL: 57-56
KU squeaks by ISU in overtime thriller
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
mphillips@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
AMES, Iowa — After watching a five-point lead turn into overtime, senior guard Erica Hallman hung her head as she walked into the team huddle.
Everything was working against the Jayhawks' favor: a huge crowd of 9,000 in Ames, Iowa, neither of the team's point guards was on the court and to top it all off, Iowa State's best player, junior guard Lyndsey Medders, had just re-emerged from the locker room after hurting her ankle.
With six seconds left to play, senior forward Crystal Kemp put in the game-winner to end a 57-56 overtime slugfest.
None of it mattered though, because the Jayhawks wanted this one.
Smith defended Medders for most of the day, holding her to just 2-for-12 shooting. Medders left the game with three-and-a-half minutes remaining when she took a hard fall onto her right foot, which was injured earlier in the season.
Iowa State had a final attempt to win the game, and put the ball in the hands of Medders, but she could not elude junior guard Sharita Smith's pressure defense.
With her foot swelling, Medders simply taped it up and limped over to the scorer's table to get back in the game.
"I wasn't too surprised," Smith said. "I know she's a strong player and she's capable of playing through pain."
With Iowa State down three at the end of regulation, Med-
ders ran off a screen and made the three-point shot that sent the game to overtime.
After the game, Medders said she did not take any painkillers, and had felt the pain through the entire possession.
To keep Smith in the game to guard Medders, freshman guard Ivana Catic sat on the bench. That, combined with Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson's suspension of junior guard Shaquina Mosley, meant the Jayhawks did not have a point guard on the court.
Hallman assumed the duties, as she did last year when the team was in a similar situation. Kansas did not have a true point guard last season.
"If she calls on me, I'm prepared to run the offense," Hallman said.
On the game's final possessions, Henrickson allowed her to make the plays.
"We didn't really set anything up," Hallman said. "It was kind of freelancing."
Whatever it was, it was exactly what the Jayhawks needed. With a record of 15-9 (4-9 Big 12 Conference), Kansas enters its final three games with the chance to make an impression on the Women's NIT selection committee.
"I'm happy for the kids, because it's been a difficult stretch," Henrickson said. "Every day we work and try to find a way to win, and they haven't quit and they haven't crumbled."
The victory is the Jayhawks' first on the road this season; their final game away from Allen Fieldhouse is tomorrow night at Texas Tech.

Frankenstein, Settlemier show skills
SOFTBALL

janderson@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas softball team couldn't ask anything more of Serena Settlemier on Sunday.
The senior pitcher/designated hitter hit two home runs, including a grand slam, and had five RBI against University of Nevada-Las Vegas in the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic in Nevada.
Settlemier (2-2) also pitched 4.1 innings, giving up six hits and four walks, while striking out two.
Nevada wouldn't let Kansas get the upper hand, though. Kansas fell to Nevada, 9-8, on Sunday.
"We did some things offensively that we can definitely be proud of." Kansas coach Tracy Bunge said. "Offensively, we
The Jayhawks left the weekend tournament with a 2-3 record, bringing their season mark to 4-5.
took advantage of the solid pitching."
The Rebels took a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning on three walks and an error by senior shortstop Destiny Frankenstein.
Junior pitcher Kassie Humphreys relieved Settlemier and walked the first two batters with one out.
In the top half of the sixth, Kansas came back.
Frankenstein crushed her
sixth home run of the season and tied the game at four. With two out in the seventh, Settlemer hit the grand slam to give the Jayhwacks an 8-4 lead.
Kansas lost the lead and gave up costly mistakes. After a two-run home run, a hit batter and a walk with the bases loaded tied the game at eight.
Softball opens tournament with victories
The Jayhawks could not score in the extra frame and the Rebels drove in the game's winning run with a single in the eighth inning.
Kansas defeated Central Michigan and Cal Poly on Friday.
The Jayhawks scored eight runs off eight hits and capitalized on three Central Michigan errors. Frankenstein and Settlemier hit back-to-back home runs in the top of the seventh inning to seal the 8-3 victory.
"Serena and Destiny have continued to hit the ball very well," Bunge said. "Any time, any swing, they are a threat to hit the ball out of the ball-park, and that is a great threat to have."
Kansas put up enough offense to make Central Michigan use four pitchers.
Friday's night game versus Cal Poly featured Frankenstein's third home run of the day. She hit a solo shot in the fifth inning. Humphreys struck out seven and walked
six in her five innings of work while freshman pitcher Valerie George struck out one in the seventh inning to notch the victory.
Jayhawks to learn from loss
Kansas dropped two games on Saturday to BYU (2-1) and No. 4 Tennessee (13-1).
"We are confident with how we will rebound from some close games and I look forward to our team getting better as the season continues to go on." Bunge said.
The Jayhawks will be on the field again on Friday at the Palm Springs Classic in Palm Springs, Calif.

NASCAR
Johnson wins Daytona
BY JENNA FRYER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Maybe Jimmie Johnson didn't need to cheat to win his first Daytona 500.
Johnson won a two-lap shootout Sunday to claim the victory, capping a roller-coaster week that saw NASCAR kick his crew chief out of competition for cheating.
Johnson had a strong car when he arrived at Daytona International Speedway 10 days ago, and posted the fifth-fastest time in time trials. But when NASCAR gave his Chevrolet a careful once-over, inspectors discovered that Chad Knaus had made an illegal modification.
Knaus was sent home, seemingly spoiled Johnson's shot to win The Great American Race.
Not on this Sunday.
"I knew deep-down inside
my heart that this team could still win this race," Johnson said in Victory Lane. "There's no doubt that not having Chad here was a huge handicap, but everybody stepped up. I am just so proud of this team."
Johnson stayed calm and avoided trouble in a wild race that saw Tony Stewart eliminate three contenders: Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth and himself. Then Johnson worked his way to the front, staying in line and waiting for his chance to pounce.
Casey Mears, who was part of the three-man team that won the 24 Hours of Daytona sports car race earlier this month, was second and Newman, who was trying to give Roger Penske his first Daytona win in 33 tries, finished third.
"It's been a tough week for us," Johnson said. "I wish Chad Knaus was here — I'm sure he's kicking his TV in right now."
TENNIS
Louisville loses to Kansas, freshman wins singles match
The Kansas tennis team defeated Louisville 4-3 on Saturday and kept its winning streak alive at four matches.
The Jayhawks won half of the singles matches and 2-of-3 doubles matches.
Freshman Yuliana Svistun also won in singles competition.
Kansas' top two players, freshman Ksenia Bukina and sophomore Elizaveta Avdeeva, posted wins against Louisville's top two players.
Kansas improves its record to 4-1, and will travel to Fayetteville, Ark., on Saturday to face Arkansas.

HOROSCOPES
ARIES (March 21-April 19)****You focus intensely on one particular area of your life. Most likely, one other person will have as much vested concern as you do.Together you could mall a great team. Acknowledge the fact that you might need to do more research
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) *****
Othee present many ideas that you might be especially pleased with. Let others express their effusive personalities. You'll gain insight by pulling back. Good vibes roll with the moment. Listen and share.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) **★** You accomplish a lot very quickly, whether you are up for it or not. Before you know it, you are in one of those scenarios in which you need to clear up a problem, and you do so most efficiently. Right now, you are the workhorse of the zodiac.
CANCER (June 21- July 22) *****
You creatively find solutions and head in a new direction. Understand more of what you want from others. Sometimes you demand a lot more than you realize. Use your creativity positively. A relationship takes an interesting twist.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)******* You cannot suppress your innate cheerfulness, but you can help others focus by choosing where and to expel your effusive personality. You also might need to rethink a personal or family question.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) *****You might want to do a double take, as if what you are seeing isn't true. Getting clear of a personal matter could take pizzazz and style. Sometimes when you say something, others don't get it. Dip into your creativity in this case.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.21)*****
If you use your high magnetism and quick wilt, you can turn around nearly any problem. Whatever you do has a touch of magic to it. Know your limits and see what you want. Understand others rather than judge them.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) **Lie back with money decisions, because whatever you decide to do could be a problem later — OK? Your sixth sense takes you on a new financial path. Follow through on what you need to do, though seek different opinions on the way.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ** Take your time today, knowing that nothing will come of actions or decisions. You are in a planetary void, so to speak. Do your research. Think and relax. Come late afternoon, you will know what to do.
CAPICORRN (Dec. 22-Jan.19) **** You embody life and energy during the day. You might be in more of a social mood than a professional one. Honor your needs without getting uptight. Network and schedule meetings. You can postpone major actions and decisions.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) *****
Examine problems with a hands-on approach. You know what works and what is happening with someone who could be quite pushy. Give 100 percent right now, and you will be OK. Somehow you will wind up in the winner's circle.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ You want to take that extra step and confirm facts on your own. What seems doable simply might not be. Laugh and relax. When you gain a new perspective, everything will seem different. Enjoy yourself to the max.

- With Kansas up by 19, Missouri junior guard Thomas Gardner hit two three-point shots in a row to cut the Kansas lead to 13. Kansas responded to take a 19-point lead at halftime. Gardner, who had 40 points in the first Missouri-Kansas game in January, had only 15 points on Saturday.
- Freshman guard Mario Chalmers hit a three-point shot on the first possession of the game to put Kansas in front 3-0. Kansas never trailed during the game.
- Sophomore guard Russell Robinson found freshman forward Julian Wright for a dunk, and found freshman guard Brandon Rush on a post-up down low on the next possession. Robinson finished with four assists.
- Wright later returned the favor when he found a streaking Robinson for a lay-up.

Basketball Notes:
- Former players Wayne Simien and Kirk Hinrich attended the game on Saturday. Kansas coach Bill Self said after the game that Simien had gotten engaged.
Kansas graduate and Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius and Kansas City Chiefs president Carl Peterson also attended the Border Showdown. Many fans booed Peterson when he was shown on the big screen.
Kansas has won 10 conference games for the past 12 seasons. The Jayhawks are the only team in the history of the Big 12 conference to have 10 conference victories in each season of the existence of the Big 12.
$\diamond$ The 33-point victory was the largest margin of victory in the series since 1986.
Sophomore guard Russell Robinson's six steals tied a career high.

Sharp Shooters:
Best gear + sign combo: To the guy decked out in orange hunting gear. He went all out with sporting orange gloves and a stylish orange hunting hat. His sign read on one side:
And the other side:
"It's best to hunt Tigers in the Phog."
Honorable mention to the girls in the crimson and blue suits, who had the sign: "Nothing like Crimson & Blue Suits".
Jeers to the bleacher police. Even though students camped for a week, they felt it was their duty to give away students' saved seats and took pleasure in doing so.
Best line: In response to the power going out 53 minutes before the game, "Look at what happens when you can't save seats."
Cheers to the fast start by the Baby Jayhawks that made the setback to the Tigers earlier in the Big 12 season easy to forget, Kansas blew Missouri out of the building from the start and jumped out to a 13-2 lead by the 14:05 mark with every starter having scored.
Cheers to Christian Moody. Redemption is spelled M-O-O-D-Y. Moody didn't get to redeem himself at the foul line Saturday, but his posturing one-handed facial dunk over MU's Kalen Grimes in the second half was good enough.
Kirk Hinrich and Wayne Simien came Saturday thanks to the NBA All-Star. It appears Big Dub has found himself a fiance down on South Beach, as shown on the big screen (sorry ladies).
Cheers to the Jayhawks' suffocating defense. Kansas forced 15 first half Missouri turnovers (21 overall). Kansas was led on the defensive end by thief guard Russell Robinson, who had six of KU's 10 steals, and the ultimate crusher Sasha Kaun, who swatted four Missouri shots.

The tradition of booing and pointing at Missouri fans entering the arena took a hit, as there were only a few Tiger fans sprinkled in the audience.
Two fans there to be booed were father and son Claude and Justin Johnson of Independence. Mo.
Claude had been to the Border Showdown in Lawrence before, but it was Justin's first
"Doesn't bother me a bit," Claude said. "It's a great rivalry."
Kansas fans were surprised when former greats Kirk Hinrich and Wayne Simien came to the fieldhouse.
time. Claude was not fazed by the roaring boos and pointing fingers.
The two sat behind the Kansas bench and received standing ovations when recognized on the video board.
Governor and KU alumna Kathleen Sebelius and Kansas City Chiefs president Carl Peterson came, as well as former Kansas basketball players Patrick Richey and Terry Nooner.

Editor's Note: The Kansan Big 12 Power Rankings were voted on this week by Ryan Colaiani, Kansas men's basketball writer, as well as Eric Sorrentino, sports editor, Erick R. Schmidt, associate sports editor, and columnist Brian Wacker.
The big move in this week's rankings came at the top. For the first time this season, Kansas claimed the No.1 spot. The decision was not unanimous, however. While three of the four voters chose to knock the Longhorns from the top spot, the remaining voter cited losses to Missouri and Kansas State as reason to keep the Jayhawks from ascending to the front of the Big 12 class.
Kansas and Texas have tune ups against Baylor and Kansas State, respectively, before Saturday's match-up. Barring the wildest of circumstances, the Jayhawks and Longhorns would potentially settle the Big 12 regular season conference title in Austin. Texas.
Missouri was the unquestionable last place team in this week's rankings. The Tigers' pitiful performance in Allen Fieldhouse Saturday was enough to put them below the lowly Baylor Bears. The downward slide of a season for Missouri hit a low point this week, as the team showed up with no emotion or heart against its biggest rival.

Turnovers plague Missouri offense
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
rschneider@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SWITWRITER
The depths of Missouri's woeful offense surprised some players.
Missouri junior guard Thomas Gardner said he was in shock. He couldn't believe how inept Missouri's offense performance was on Saturday,
"We missed 17 in a row?" Gardner asked. "We really did?"
Gardner started the game by drbbling the ball off his leg on Missouri's first two possessions. In its first 10 possessions, Missouri had four missed shots and six turnovers, but only one basket. For the next 15 minutes, the Tigers averaged one turnover per minute.
During a 15-minute stretch in the second half, Missouri couldn't connect on a field goal — it missed 17 consecutive attempts. Turnovers plagued the Tigers all afternoon. Gardner scored a career-high 40 points last month against the Jayhawks, but it was evident early on he wouldn't repeat that performance.
"Our turnovers killed us," senior center Kevin Young said.
If the Tigers' offense in the first half was bad, the second half was even worse. Senior guard Jimmy McKinney hit a three-point shot 30 seconds into the half, but the Tigers didn't score another field goal for another 15 minutes.
By halftime, traveling calls and fumbled passes added up to 15 Missouri turnovers. Missouri shot 45 percent from the field, off 9-of-20 shooting in the first half, but the turnovers killed any chance for the Tigers to get into an offensive rhythm.
During that stretch, Missouri went 1-of-18 from the field, missing 17 consecutive shots. Sophomore forward Marshall Brown's three-point shot with 4:34 remaining in the game ended the painful stretch.
"Kansas just took it to us and that's the way I'm going to look at it. We didn't finish plays, or get the ball right to the basket. If you do that, you're going to make it hard on yourself and that's what we did." Watkins said.
Missouri is reeling, having lost eight of its last 10 games by an average of 18 points. Former coach Quin Snyder resigned last week, after the team's sixth straight loss. Watkins said he wouldn't use off-the-court issues involving Snyder's departure as an excuse for his team's poor performance.
— Edited by Lindsey Gold
"We've had spells like that where we just can't seem to kick it in the basket," Missouri interim coach Melvin Watkins said. "If you have that against a good basketball team, they're going to make you pay."
Showdown
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Kansas held Missouri to 32 percent shooting, continuing its trend of holding opponents to poor shooting outputs.
Kansas opponents have shot only 36.1 percent from the field this season.
The three starting guards of Robinson, Chalmers and Rush combined for 37 points helping to lead Kansas to the victory.
Robinson was solid on the defensive end, stealing the ball six times en route to Kansas's ninth straight win.
The victory puts Kansas in contention to win the Big 12 Conference outright.
With Texas losing to Oklahoma State on Sundav. Kansas is now tied with Texas for first place. The important game on Saturday against Texas will likely decide the Big 12 regular season champion.
Kansas is not looking past Baylor on Tuesday though.
"We got Texas in front of us — everyone else is falling behind." Rush said, "It's in grassthe so we can go get it."
"These guys only have two more chances to run out of the tunnel this year and that is a big thrill to be able to run out of the tunnel here at Kansas, so I think they will be excited to play whoever is in front of us," Self said. "Certainly it could be a sandwich game between Missouri and Texas where you have to worry about it. Hopefully we will keep the same frame of mind."

Serbian players aid KU
Team to meet eligibility requirement for WNIT
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
mphillips@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
AMES, Iowa - Bonnie Henrickson may have stumbled upon an unlikely recruiting pipeline: Serbia.
Freshman guard Ivana Catic (pronounced Chot-ich) has run the offense for most of the season with a scoring average of 9.1 points per game.
Now the team's other Serbian, freshman forward Marija (pronounced Maria) Zinic (pronounced Zin-ich) has notched significant minutes as well.
With the team's other forward, senior Crystal Kemp, being double-teamed on nearly every possession Saturday, Zinic put in a career-high 14 points.
"They didn't double-team her, so it gave her the opportunity to post one-on-one," Kemp said. "She's capable of making those shots every time."
Zinic showed poise even without the ball, setting screens at the end of the game that allowed senior guard Erica Hallman to drive to the basket twice in the final minute of overtime.
Smith fills defensive void
Zinic also took some of the rebounding pressure off of Kemp, grabbing five rebounds to Kemp's seven.
After a stellar defensive performance against Nebraska's junior guard Kiera Hardy, junior guard Sharita Smith was again called on to defend one of the league's best shooters.
Smith was able to hold Iowa State's junior guard Lyndsey Medders to just seven points, 12 below her season average.
"I think she's one of the best
point guards in our league," Henrickson said.
Smith was able to stay with Medders even when she had screens set for her, something Kansas defenders have struggled with so far this season.
Smith's effort has meant time practicing with the first team in practice, but she said she knew she would have to improve on offense to become a complete player.
"I'm trying to get that in there some kind of waw." Smith said.
Kansas started its possessions with the ball in Smith's hands, so she could make the pass to shooters Hallman and senior "C
She started the offense. That's not easy to do, and it's loud, but I thought her poise was fantastic."
Bonnie Henrickson Women's basketball coach
guard Kaylee Brown.
"She started the offense," Henrickson said. "That's not easy to do, and it's loud, but I thought her poise was fantastic."
Seeing the basketball players wearing Kansas T-shirts may not seem like an unusual occurrence, but tomorrow will be the first time since Jan. 28 that players have been allowed to wear their Jayhawk gear to practice.
Punishment over for players
In the middle of a stretch where the Jayhawks won just two of 11 games, Henrickson banned the players from using the locker room and wearing Kansas gear during practices.
Both restrictions were lifted after Saturday's victory.
"I'm getting soft in my old age." Henrickson joked.
The underlying message was that playing for Kansas was a privilege, and the players needed to be more prideful.
"They didn't like it, but they understood it," Henrickson said.
Stat watch:
With the 57-56 victory, Kansas improved to 6-0 in games decided by five or fewer points.
"We have pulled off some games down the stretch," Hallman said. "It just shows a lot of poise, and our younger kids are stepping up, too."
One point of emphasis for the Kansas offense has been not waiting until the end of the shot clock to make a play.
While official statistics are not kept, Kansas watched the clock go below five seconds 10 times in the first 25 minutes of the game, and just three times in the final 20 minutes.
— Coming into the game, opponents playing Kansas could expect a high-scoring shoot out. The Jayhawks ranked first in the Big 12 in three-point shot percentage, and last in three-point defense. However, neither team was able to get rolling on Saturday, and the Jayhawks finished 3-for-15, which was still better than the Cyclones' 3-for-23.
Kansas finished its non-conference schedule a perfect 11-0, and has since won enough games to guarantee the team will finish the season with more victories than losses, the requirement for being eligible for the WNIT.

Austrian coach at core of doping investigation
TURIN, Italy — Italian authorities seized materials in a surprise late-night sweep through the living quarters of the Austrian biathlon and cross-country teams, the first ever police anti-doping raid on Olympic athletes.
While Italian police searched the residences late Saturday and early Sunday morning, the International Olympic Committee also conducted unannounced, out-of-competition drug tests on at least six Austrian cross-country skiers and four biathletes.
Col. Angelo Agovino, commander of the Carabinieri police force in Turin, said later Sunday that officers "confiscated material of various origin ... which will have to undergo laboratory analysis."
No test results have been announced, and the Austrian cross-country relay team competed Sunday morning in the men's 4x10km relay, finishing last out of 16 teams.
"We were surprised in our room," team member Juergen Pinter said. "Suddenly the police came in and didn't let us leave on the night before the competition. This happened without any positive result from doping control in the team. There's definitely no doping in the Austrian team; it's crazy."
World Anti-Doping Agency discovered blood-doping equipment in Austria connected to Walter Mayer, an Austrian Nordic team coach banned from the Olympics for suspicion of performing blood transfusions at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games.
The probe began when the
WADA learned that Mayer was with the team at the Turin Games and notified the IOC.
"The fact he was in the same area as the athletes created quite some concern to us," IOC medical commission chief Arne Liungqvist said Sunday.
Ljungqvist said the IOC had no information on the result of the police raid. The results of the IOC doping tests on the Austrians would be known within two days.

Jayhawks fight hard suffer second loss
BY ALISSA BAUER

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
BASEBALL
No. 30 Kansas (6-4) managed six runs on six hits Saturday night against No. 9 San Diego, but couldn't keep up with the Toreros explosive offense, falling 17-6. It was the Jayhawks second loss in as many nights in the Public Storage Classic.
For the second night in a row, the Jay hawks took on a nationally-ranked team, and for the second night in a row, the Jay hawks lacked in both pitching and offense.
"It's obviously disappointing that we haven't competed and played better in the first two games, facing some of the top teams in the country," coach Ritch Price said.
Kyle Murphy was the first Jayhawk of the weekend to hit a home run. The junior centerfielder entered the game in the seventh inning to replace senior Matt Baty. Murphy followed a diving catch in the top of the eighth with a home run in the bottom half of the innings.
Senior shortstop Ritchie Price extended his hitting streak to nine games with a hit and an RBI.
The Jayhawks were able to rally the bats and put together a four-run fourth inning, but it wasn't enough. The Toreros scored in every inning except the first and eighth innings, and their lead-off batter got on with a hit in six of nine innings.
At the plate for San Diego, catcher Jordan Abruzzo blasted a two-run home run in the second and finished the day 3-4 with five RBI. Right fielder Shane
Buschini also tagged a two-run homer in the fourth. Buschini also hit 4-5, scored three times and drove in five.
Senior right-hander Ricky Fairchild (2-1) took the loss Saturday night, allowing seven runs in 4.1 innings pitched. Sophomore Matt Couch (2-0) threw 5.2 innings of relief, surrendering just two runs on two hits.
The San Diego game was a continuation of Friday night's loss to Southern California, as Kansas fell 10-1. Price's single in the ninth inning broke up a potential no-hitter for USC junior right-hander Ian Kennedy (2-1).
Trailing 10-0, Price stepped to the plate at the top of the ninth with two outs. Just an out away from the no-hitter, Kennedy surrendered a single. Senior first baseman Jared Schweitzer followed suit with another single. Senior Gus Miller doubled to score Price, the Jayhawks' only run of the night.
The trio was the only offense production for Kansas, being out hit 13-3.
Trojan third baseman Matt Cusick and left fielder Cyle Hankerd each swung for three hits apiece. Cusick tallied a pair of RBI, while Hankerd drove in three.
Junior lefty Sean Land (2-1) took the loss on the hill for Kansas. In 4.2 innings pitched, Land allowed six runs on seven hits and struck out iust one.
Kennedy, who was lifted immediately after Price's single, gave up one run on one hit and fanned 13.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
As a result of the less-thanusual offensive production from Kansas, which has put up 17 runs twice already this season. Sunday's spotlight went to the closers.
Senior closer Don Czyz (1-0)
replaced Quick and went on to
throw 5.1 innings — the rest of
the game.
Czzy didn't give up a run and allowed only two Vanderbilt hits.
"You couldn't get two guys to pitch bigger for us with the weekend we had at stake." Price said.
Crowell lasted longer than Quick and gave up both tying runs after he came out with two on and no outs in the seventh inning.
Vanderbilt pitcher Ty Davis (0-1) entered the game for three-plus innings of relief. Davis didn't fare as well and allowed all three Jayhawk runs in the eleventh inning to record the loss for the Commodores.
Three walks and a hit was enough for Kansas to tie the game at two runs in the eighth. Junior center fielder Kyle Murphy led off the inning doubling to left field and eventually scored on a sacrifice fly by senior first baseman lared Schweitzer.
Schweitzer led the KU offense, going 3-for-5 with two RBI.
Murphy knocked in the winning run in an unconventional way.
The bases were loaded in the top of the eleventh inning. Murphy fouled out to left field, giving sophomore second baseman Ryne Price time to tag and score the winning run.
Senior shortstop Ritchie Price and Schweitzer both singled, knocking in the team's last two runs.
"It's a big win for us," Price said. "Kodiak Quick was outstanding. Don Czyz was outstanding. It was a great way to end the weekend."

Students in sororities along West Campus Road may once again be allowed to park in the lot east of IRP Hall.
Sororities may get to park closer
BY RACHEL PARKER
rparker@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The KU Parking Department motioned for further discussion Feb. 14 a proposal for students in Chi Omega,
Gamma Phi Beta and Sigma Kappa sororities to park in the lot overnight. The department recently conducted a three-week study on the number of open spaces in the lot in the early morning to aid in their decision.
The parking department zoned the east section of the lot in the fall to prohibit parking for anyone between 4 and 6 a.m. The lot was previously accessible to members of nearby sororities and fraternities between 4 p.m. and 8 a.m. because they didn't have enough spaces at their houses.
Tom Mulinazzi, professor of engineering and chairman of the parking commission committee, said the lot was rezoned in the fall because students were abusing the system.
“T
"They were leaving their cars there for days and days."
he said. "We don't provide parking spaces for long-term parking."
Jamie Hollenberg, president of the Panhellenic Association and member of Gamma Phi Beta, said she was pleased with the way the committee was handling the situation.
The main problem for the students was that they had to park elsewhere, such as the parking lots next to Memorial Stadium.
The students were worried about the safety of those having to walk home from the stadium at night.
The real problem is that the University and the houses were built and planned before people had vehicles here."
Tom Mulinazzi
Parking commission
committee chairman
The new policy would allow these students to park again at night in the lot as long as they move their cars by 7:30 a.m.
"The real problem is
that the University and the houses were built and planned before people had vehicles here," Mulinazzi said.
He said students assumed that it was a right, not a privilege, to park at the University. But he said it was a privilege for them to bring their cars here.
The University administration has a rule in which new policies must be in effect for one full year. If the proposal is approved, it won't go into effect until August, which is one year after the current policy was approved.

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Broken promises, blame and destruction have plagued New Orleans for months. After Hurricane Katrina hit, displaced residents received fleeting help from various organizations, causing insecurities and doubt.
they were not sure what type of reaction they would receive.
When Nils Gore, architecture professor, and his Design Build studio class traveled to the city Feb. 9 with plans to discuss designs for a community center,
up and rebuilding has begun in most places. That was my expectation prior to the trip, I mean, that's the way the news conveys the situation."
Gore said he wanted to avoid the perception people might have of Kansas students being do-goodies who simply delivered a product and left.
When they got to New Orleans, they were met with unexpected destruction they could not have prepared for.
"Pictures don't do any justice," said Patrick Knobloch, St. Louis senior. "I think most of the American people think that everything has been cleaned
Knobloch said he was self-conscious the whole time because he didn't go through the tragedy like the citizens of New Orleans did.
The group was met with mixed reactions from the residents. Knobloch said.
"Some were interested in what our purpose was and others yelled obscenities. We just have to be very careful about
what we set out to do. We must be very aware of the current fabric of the neighborhood."
As planned, the students met with community members at the Tulane City Center. The center serves as a coordinator for a dozen universities that are involved in the project. It invited the KU School of Architecture and Urban Design to be the first school to help because of its commendable reputation with design and build projects, Gore said.

Cell phones provide 911 callers' locations

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
You're stranded on the side of the road because your car is out of gas. You try to call 911, but your cell phone dies in the middle of the call. But emergency dispatch has already been alerted of your situation and has begun to track your call.
This is because of the cellular-enhanced 911 system that continues to upgrade.
No matter where your location is, dialing 911 will direct you to the nearest emergency station. Once the call is answered, the station begins tracking where the call came from. Now, cell phone users don't have to worry about not being located.

For a cellular company like Simply Wireless, 2540 Iowa St., phones had to be enhanced 911-compliant by April 2005. With Verizon Wireless cell phones, the system works with a Global Positioning System chip, which is programmed into the phone. Mark Siegel, spokesman for Cingular Wireless, was unsure how many years cell phones have had enhanced 911, but said it had been available for several years.

ACTIVISM
Sisters keep feminism alive Group raises funds for cause

KANANS STAFF WRITER
The month of February is known as Black History Month, but for one group it has added significance.
The February Sisters Association is an organization on campus that was formed to honor the memory of The February Sisters, a feminist group that formed in 1972. The February Sisters is responsible for bringing the Women's Studies Program to the University.

"I think it's important because it highlights achievements of the past of KU history," said Allecia Ruscin, president of the February Sisters Association. "It's important to raise attention to that history and how we continue to do feminist activism today."

On Feb. 7, 1972, the February Sisters held one of the most effective women's rights events at the University. Thirty women occupied the East Asian Studies building, previously south of GSP-Corbin Hall, and demanded the University offer free childcare, women's health care, a women's studies program, a female staff member on the financial aid committee,
After 13 hours and numerous negotiations with the University, the group successfully achieved all its goals.
and basic equality for all women students.
Throughout the month of February the association sponsors programs that raise money for different women's organizations in the Lawrence community, such as the battered women's shelter and the rape crisis center.
"Body image issues are so critical for women students."
Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said the February Sisters Association was known for presenting programs that are well-conceived and implemented and are relevant for both male and female students.
so far this month the group has organized a concert at the Kansas Union, featuring the band "The Rosie's," as well as a student production of "The Vagina Monologues." The association also has scheduled two free speakers: Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz, a women liberation activist who was active in the 1970s, and Nomy Lamm, an activist against women's "fat phobias," who will speak on Monday.
Rose-Mockry said. "It's such a common experience for college women because all students will encounter women in their lives who struggle with these issues."

Lamm will also be performing with her band "Tricotic,"

U2 star to donate guitar for hunger
BRASILIA, Brazil — Bono will donate one of his guitars to benefit Brazil's Zero Hunger campaign, the government's official news agency said Monday.
The guitar will be auctioned off after U2's concerts this
week in Sao Paulo's Morumbi soccer stadium, according to Agencia Brasil.
The Zero Hunger campaign's goal is to ensure all Brazilians have three meals a day by the end of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's presidential term Dec. 31.
The rock star-activist met with Silva at the Granja do Torto presidential resort to talk about the government's efforts
to reduce hunger and develop renewable energy sources.

Housecleaning reveals stash of poet's papers
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The renowned book editor and publisher who edited many of Thomas Merton's works donated nearly $1 million worth
of the late poet's papers to the Thomas Merton Center at Bellarmine University.
Robert Giroux said he was sorting through his New Jersey apartment last year when he discovered more than 3,000 pages of documents from the Roman Catholic monk and poet who died in 1968.
"I just knew that's Merton's stuff and forgot what it was."
said Giroux, a college friend of Merton's from Columbia University who edited many of his books.
The documents donated by Giroux include drafts or proofs of five books, an unpublished book manuscript, letters between Merton and Giroux, and a 1940 rejection slip for an early novel.

Record funds received
School gets $16 million for research
BY CATHERINE ODSON
codson@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The KU School of Pharmacy ranked third nationally in grants from the National Institutes of Health in 2005.
The school received $16 million in NIH research funds, according to data from the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. Despite a $7 million drop in NIH pharmacy funding nationally, the school's funding increased by $3 million.
A combination of new and established researchers receiving both initial and continuing funding accounted for the increase, said Kenneth Audeth, dean of pharmacy.
Kevin Boatright, vice provost of research, said the increase stemmed from the University having an outstanding school of pharmacy.
"People are amazed by the quality of the program here," he said.
Boatright credits researchers for their entrepreneurial attitudes and taking advantage of available funding. Even with the University's outstanding faculty and resources, a $3 million increase
Audus said the competitive funding market means some facilities had less than 10 percent of their research proposals funded.
in one year is simply impressive, he said.
The KU school has 19 projects currently receiving NIH funds, all of which individually applied for NIH funding. The school hosts more than 100 different research projects.
The school received a total of $17 million in research funding last year, second behind the University of California-San Francisco. UCSF has a research budget of more than $22 million.
The school's other major sources for funding are the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society and the National Science Foundation.
The KU school has ranked in the top 10 since 1995 and spent the past five years as a top five school.
Audus said the school could compare favorably to UCSF and Utah, the No. 2 NIH-funded school, in the future. However, grants are timed, so funding could change drastically from year to year, he said.
Audus said the school's research in customized drug therapy could maximize response to treatment.

In addition to basic science and pharmaceutical research, the school does significant research in cancer and neuroscience drug discovery and development.
Newer faculty members joined the effort in those two areas, among others, and are reinforcing the University's solid researchers, Audus said, and young faculty researching antibiotics could create another solid research area in the school.

Architecture professor Nils Gore and his 401 Design Build studio spent two days traveling the city to observe debris in the ninth ward where the levee broke in New Orleans.
They discussed plans to construct a neighborhood center that would provide education, technical assistance and support to individual homeowners in an effort to rebuild New Orleans. It would also serve as an art and cultural center.
"We want the community to be very involved in the process to keep their culture and to meet their expectations," said April Young, Idaho Falls, Idaho, senior.
The "Seventh Ward Building Arts Gallery" is the name of the collaborative project, located in the seventh ward, the second-largest section, of downtown New Orleans. It is home to jazz originators, Creole artisans and numerous churches.
Before they could build the center, they needed to understand the city's needs more clearly. Gore and his class spent two days walking around neighborhoods and talking to people. Gore met a man by the name of Benjamin Franklin who was returning to his home for the first time to survey the damage. He planned to return with his family who had been temporarily staying in Arkansas.
Young said "walking around felt like voyeurism in a way, because there are all these tourists taking photos of these
people's houses, which are like their lives open for everyone to see. What people take for granted, photo albums, movies, children's toys, were strewn everywhere."
"I will never know that woman's name, but I will remember that forever," Young said.
The class went to a community meeting at a local church where a story circle took place. People shared their experiences during Hurricane Katrina and their plans for the future.
She said she was standing next to a woman who was staring at her house with tears streaming down her face. Not knowing what to say, Young hugged the woman, who clung to her.
Keeping traditions and their culture alive is a concern for many of the community members, Gore said. The gallery will function as a place where traditions can be passed on to children.
Since the class returned Feb. 12, it has been researching the cultural and architectural history in depth. Its goal is to design a building that keeps New Orleans tradition and uses the feedback it receives. The funding for the building has not yet been determined.

Gore said he envisioned the community center as an extendable building that could be added to in later semesters by his future students. The building will include a covered builder's yard where people can seek assistance with their rebuilding projects. The center will provide tools, workspace and employment for the area. Young sees the center as a place to teach people how to fix their homes and later, their lives.

Young said "We were forewarned before we accepted this challenge, but we all wanted to make a difference and actually build something that will last. I hope future students will respect that."

Amendment fails vote
GOVERNMENT
BY CARL MANNING THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — A proposed constitutional amendment to have Kansas Supreme Court justices picked by the governor and confirmed by the Senate has been shot down by the House Judiciary Committee.
The 10-8 vote Monday against the measure means the current system will continue, with a nominating commission interviewing applicants and giving the governor a list from which to make a selection, with no Senate confirmation.
An identical proposal introduced last week by Sen. Jim Barnett (R-Emporia) awaits action by the Senate [judiciary Committee].
Rep. Lance Kinzer, who pushed the proposal, acknowledged the committee action was a setback, but added he's not giving up.
"It means it will be difficult to do anything this year," said Kinzer (R-OLathe). "But if there's a way to continue the discussion, we'll do it."
In inguing the endorsement of his proposal, Kinzer said it was modeled after how federal judges were selected and "would allow people to have a voice in the process while ensuring judicial independence." Unlike the federal system, it would call for periodic retention votes.
But Rep. Paul Davis called it a bad idea.

from a process that has worked so well."
Rep. Tim Owens (R-Overland Park) said the proposed change in the state constitution was a reaction to the Supreme Court ruling last year that lawmakers failed to meet their constitutional obligation to adequately fund public schools.
Justices ordered lawmakers to spend an additional $143 million for education in the current budget year, forcing a 12-day special
This allows for the infusion of a great deal more politics in the system. I hate to see us depart from a process that has worked so well."

The method for selecting justices is known as merit selection. It started in Missouri in 1940 and varies somewhat in each of the 23 states using it. No state has scrapped the merit selection plan once it is in place.

session last summer. Many lawmakers, especially conservative Republicans, talked about needing to rein in a court they thought had overstepped its authority.
In Kansas, a nominating commission considers applicants, then presents the governor with three finalists from which to pick one. Justices face a retention vote every six years.
A proposed amendment needs a two-thirds majority of the Legislature to put it on the ballot; voters then must ratify it to make it part of the constitution.
"Do we want to leave this option open for what we call our most important resource?" asked sponsoring Rep. Arlen Siegfreid (R-Olathe.) "It shields our children, teachers and schools from unintended consequences by us or the courts."
When the Legislature missed a July 1 deadline to meet the court's mandate for more money, justices threatened to keep schools closed in the fall. Many, however, saw that as a way to force legislators to do what they were supposed to do.
The House Federal and State Affairs Committee heard testimony about a proposed amendment to prevent courts from closing schools to enforce any order dealing with school finance. Chairman John Edmonds (R-Great Bend) said it might clear the committee, but he didn't think it had enough support to pass the House.
Abolishing merit selection wasn't the only court-altering idea considered Monday.
Bob Bjerg of Kansas Families United for Public Education said the problem laid with the Legislature, not the court.
"It's not the court order that would close public schools, it would be the Legislature's failure to comply with the court order that would close public schools," he said.

It was a big step for 10-year-old Lenexa resident Kennedy Fasching, who was visiting her grandma at her new house here in Lawrence a month ago. Fasching's grandma, a diabetic had an allergic reaction and lost consciousness. Kennedy's father, Craig, said that his daughter wasn't able to give the exact location, but gave a nearby street name.
Dispatchers with Douglas County Emergency Communications Center sent crews out explaining that the enhanced 911 system was being used. A second trace on the cell phone was completed before the crew reached the neighborhood, and then pinpointed the exact location of the house, according to the
news release.
"This is such a good thing, especially for college students who rarely have home phone numbers," Craig said. "This is a good feature to have in case someone gets into an accident or their car breaks down on the side of the highway because sometimes you don't always know your location."

Pressures of war bring stress disorder
WRESTLING
Nick Krug/JOURNAL-WORLD
Former Army reservist Brandon Price works Thursday, teaching youngsters Deaken Frontrop, 4, left, and Brandt Riley, 5, a series of wrestling moves at Lawrence High School. The 21-year-old Lawrence man is trying to escape the clutches of alcohol and deal with what may be post-traumatic stress disorder.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
During the Civil War it was called "soldier's heart" or "nostalgia." During the wars of the 20th century, from World War I through Vietnam, it was called "shell shock."
It wasn't until 1980 that "post-traumatic stress disorder," or PTSD, became a diagnostic term.
Nearly 40 years after Artie Ramirez fought as a Marine in South Vietnam, the 57-year-old Lawrence resident still has occasional nightmares.
People who suffer from PTSD often relive the experience through flashbacks or nightmares. They have difficulty sleeping and coping with everyday life. It can happen to civilians as well as military personnel.
According to the American Psychiatric Association, PTSD can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed life-threatening events.
He received treatment for PTSD after leaving the Marines in the mid-1970s. There are times even now when he wakes up in a sweat with his heart pounding.
"You know it was just a flashback and that your brain had gone back to 1968," Ramirez said. "You never know how your brain is going to work. Sometimes those old doors up there open up."
At Colmery-O'Neil Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Topeka, there are 24 beds in the stress disorder treatment program headed by Dr. Jonathan Farrell-Higgins. It is where the most serious cases of PTSD are treated, and usually the unit is nearly full.
"Every week well graduate a
few veterans and then bring in maybe three more," Farrell-Higgins said.
About one-third of patients in the seven-week primary treatment program are veterans of the Iraq war, he said. The number of Iraq war veterans in the program has increased over the past few months.
There have been few comprehensive studies so far about the mental health effects of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. A 2004 study by the Army published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that one in six soldiers in Iraq experienced depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder. That study, however, was done early in the war, which began in March 2003.
A 2005 study by the Department of Veterans Affairs found that out of nearly 170,000 Iraq veterans about 34,000 were diagnosed with psychological disorders. Those suffering from PTSD numbered 1,641.
But it is unclear what the long-term effect will be as far as how many soldiers might become PTSD victims.
"The good news today is that we are able to diagnose a lot more effectively than ever before." Farrell-Higgins said.
"The picture five years and 10 years from now will be very interesting to discover, and right now were kind of looking ahead wondering what that picture will look like." Farrell-Higgs said.
There are a lot of war events that can lead to PTSD, Farrell-Higgins said. The most publicized is the roadside bomb, or improvised explosive device. But he thinks one cause also is the cumulative effects of war.
"I think it's the daily grind of war; the combat mission that these guys are involved in even if there is not an IED," he said. "Certainly it is the battles and firefights and the constant threats in war."

Biggest lottery still unclaimed
BY KEVIN O'HANLON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LINCOLN, Neb. — Whoever won the nation's biggest jackpot has an open invitation to return to the convenience store where the winning ticket was bought and share the wealth.
"IIf I sold the ticket to them. I hope they'd share in the winnings — at least, even one-tenth of a percent would suit me just fine," said Stacey Carey, a clerk at the U-Stop on West O St.
No one had come forward Sunday to claim the record $365 million Powerball jackpot, said Nebraska Lottery spokesman Brian Rockey. With the office closed for President's Day, the
winner may not be known until today, if then.
Jim Haynes, acting director of the Nebraska Lottery, said large jackpot winners "tend to wait until they have sought legal counsel or financial counsel."
The winning numbers drawn Saturday were 15, 17, 43, 44 and 48, with a Powerball number of 29, according to the MultiState Lottery Association of Des Moines, Iowa, which runs the game for the participating states.
The U-Stop — which would earn a $50,000 bonus if it sold the winning ticket — was swarmed with reporters and customers Sunday, said owner Mick Mandl.
"Everybody wants to talk to
us," he said. "They're excited."
Carey says she suspected that the winning ticket was sold in her store.
"The prior-shift clerk told me he heard it was sold here and I checked our lottery machine and sure enough, it said it was sold at this store."
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21. 2006
The U-Stop is a busy store, where many people around Lincoln stop for gas, cigarettes and lottery tickets.
"We get all kinds of clientele in here so it could be anywhere from a rich businessperson to somebody who lives in low-income housing across the street," Carey said.
Records indicate the ticket was bought at 3:09 p.m. and its numbers were computer-generated. The ticket holder beat the 1-in-146.1 million odds of winning.
Visitors to the store over the weekend were greeted by a white board with a hand-drawn message: "Welcome to U-Stop. Home to the largest lottery payout in U.S. history!"
The winning ticket holder has the option of taking the money in one lump sum or installments over 30 years. The cash option is $177.3 million, or $124.1 million after taxes. On the installment plan, the first payment would be $6,507,986 after taxes.
In October, an Oregon family claimed the largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history won by a single ticket, $340 million.

Bush to sell ports to Arab company
NEWARK, N.J. — Democratic senators assailed an Arab company's takeover of operations at six major American ports and said Monday that President Bush should stop the deal to better protect the U.S. from terrorists.
"We wouldn't turn over our customs service or our border patrol to a foreign government." New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez said during a news conference. "We shouldn't turn over the ports of the United States, either."
Menendez said he and New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton will introduce legislation prohibiting the sale of port operations to foreign governments.
Elected officials have criticized the government's approval of last week's purchase of London-based Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co., by Dubai Ports World, a state-owned business in the United Arab Emirate.

Museum recalls black struggles
BY ANNE WALLACE ALLEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NATION
"It's interesting, when you talk to people, what they know or they think they know," said Moore, who left Detroit's Motown Historical Museum to take the position in Boise this month. "African-Americans have made a significant contribution to this state."
BOISE, Idaho — As the new director of the Idaho Black History Museum, Kimberly Moore's job starts with convincing people that such history actually exists.
Ask most people in or out of Idaho about the state's black history and you're likely to get a blank look. There just aren't many black people around — 11,000 is Moore's estimate, less than 1 percent of Idaho's 1.4 million population.
Black history in Idaho starts with York, the slave of William Clark who traveled through what is now northern Idaho 200 years ago with explorers Clark and Meriwether Lewis.
The museum tells the story of York and the black explorers, fur traders, gold prospectors, miners, ranchers and others who came after him. Some traveled to Idaho to find work, land or religious freedom. Others came to escape oppression in the post-Civil War South.
The museum is set in a former black Baptist church. Exhibits introduce people such as Gobo Fango, a West African who was born in 1855 and adopted by white Mormons. He started a sheep ranch near Oakley.
There's also a piece on Les Purce, the first black city councilman in Idaho, in Pocatello, in 1973, who went on to become the state's first black mayor.
Another covers the 1940 visit of famed opera singer Marian Anderson. Anderson was snubbed in other cities because of her skin color, and Boise was no different: She stayed at the Hotel Boise but had to enter and exit through the back door.
The black history in the exhibits is bittersweet, mixing triumphs on the frontier with the oppression that was a fact of life.
What sets Idaho's black history apart from other states' is the stain left by the Arvan Nations.
The white supremacist group was founded in the mid-1970s by Richard Butler, who bought 20 acres near Hayden in northern Idaho. Butler declared bankruptcy in 2000 and gave up the land. After his death in 2004, the compound's grounds were turned into a park dedicated to peace.
Even though Butler is associated with Idaho, he wasn't from the state, noted Janet French, a member of the museum's board.
"He was basically real estate shopping for some remote place where the federal government would leave him alone," French said. "My understanding is the locals up in northern Idaho were incensed their character was being tarnished by a bunch of people who weren't from Idaho in the first place."
Idaho isn't used to the kind of national attention generated by the Aryan Nations. The quiet, rural state still produces one-third of the nation's potatoes, and it has a huge strip of national forest in the middle of it.
The museum held a gospel music workshop earlier this month, and she was surprised and moved when 90 percent of the people who turned up were white. That doesn't happen in places with a large, established black population, said Moore.

Gas explosion traps miners
P
Eduardo Verdugo/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Relatives of miners wait, after a gas buildup in a coal mine triggered a pre-dawn explosion Monday in the town of San Juan de Sabinas, Mexico, 85 miles southwest of Eagle Pass, Texas, trapping 65 coal miners underground with a limited supply of oxygen.
BY OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Officials said that while it was unlikely the miners were still alive, there was still a chance of finding survivors.
SAN JUAN DE SABINAS, Mexico — Emergency crews using picks, shovels and their hands tunneled feverishly through dirt, wood, metal and rock on Monday in an attempt to reach 65 coal miners trapped by a gas explosion 600 feet underground.
Above ground, priests and pastors led hundreds of the miners' friends and relatives in prayer for the men trapped by Sunday morning's explosion at the Pasta de Conchos mine near the town of San Juan de Sabinas, 85 miles southwest of Eagle Pass, Texas.
Women wept openly and swayed with their arms in the air as the religious leaders spoke, and men wiped tears from their eyes.
"We are waiting for a miracle from God," said Norma Vitela, whose trapped husband, Jose Angel Guzman, had previously told her of problems with gas in the mine. She said the father of four, who earns $75 a week, could not afford to quit.
lation system that uses huge fans to pump in fresh air and suck out dangerous gases was still working. Even so, they could not be certain the precious oxygen was arriving to where the miners were trapped.
The trapped men had carried only six hours of oxygen, but officials said they believed a venti-
Juan Rebolledo, vice president of international affairs for mine owner Grupo Mexico,
said oxygen tanks were scattered throughout the site, but it was impossible to know if the trapped miners had access to any of them.

Robles said rescues avoided using electric or gas-powered machinery because of the presence of explosive gases.

Man pleads guilty to Holocaust denial
BY VERONIKA OLEKSYN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VIENNA, Austria — Right-wing British historian David Irving was sentenced to three years in prison Monday after admitting to an Austrian court that he denied the Holocaust — a crime in the country where Hitler was born.
"I made a mistake when I said there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz," Irving testified, at one point expressing sorrow "for all the innocent people who died during the Second World War."
Irving, who pleaded guilty and then insisted during his one-day trial that he now acknowledged the Nazis' World War II slaughter of six million Jews, had faced up to 10 years behind bars. Before the verdict, Irving conceded he had erred in contending there were no gas chambers at the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Irving, stressing he only relied on primary sources, said he came across new information in the early 1990's from top Nazi officials — including personal documents belonging to Adolf Eichmann — that led him to rethink certain previous assertions.
But despite his apparent
"I consider the verdict a little too stringent. I would say it's a bit of a message trial," attorney Elmar Kresbach said.
epiphany, Irving, 67, maintained he had never questioned the Holocaust.
"I've never been a Holocaust denier and I get very angry when I'm called a Holocaust denier," he said.
State prosecutor Michael Klackl declined to comment on the verdict. In his closing arguments, however, he criticized Irving for "putting on a show" and for not admitting that the Nazis killed Jews in an organized and systematic manner.
Irving's lawyer said he would appeal the sentence.
Irving appeared shocked as the sentence was read out. Moments later, an elderly man identifying himself as a family friend called out, "Stay strong, David! Stay strong!" before he was escorted from the courtroom.
Irving has been in custody since his November arrest on charges stemming from two speeches he gave in Austria in 1989 in which he was accused of denying the Nazis' execution of six million Jews.

"Of course it's a question of freedom of speech," Irving said. "The law is an ass."

Lariviere shares his views on his new job
▼ MEET THE NEW PROVOST
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2006
The editorial board of The University Daily Kansas conducted interviews with two of the four candidates for the position of provost before Chancellor Robert Hemenway selected Richard Lartiere for the position on Wednesday. On Friday, Lariviere spoke with members of the editorial board from his office at the University of Texas-Austin, where he is finishing the semester as the dean of liberal arts and sciences.
ALEXANDER BROWN
Q: What about the University appeals most to you?
A: Well, leaving aside that it's a first-rate university with great faculty, I think the thing that struck my wife and I on our visits is the friendliness and collegiality of virtually everyone. From administration, students, staff, faculty, it's a collection of really nice people.
Q: How would you approach the University's four-year graduation rate?
A: I don't know enough of the fine details about the
situation at Kansas to say I have a plan in mind, but there are some tools one can use to address these matters, such as incentives of some kind or another to make sure everyone is taking an adequate number of hours to graduate in four years, looking at admission standards to make sure you're admitting people who are able to graduate in four years. One of the tools that we've used here is what we used to refer to as flat-rate tuition. Under that plan, a flat-rate is essentially the rate for 14 semester hours and anything above 14 is free. And so there is an incentive for people to take more than 14 hours and that has worked moderately well. It hasn't eliminated the problem, but it has helped a little bit.
O: What is your stance concerning alcohol on campus?
Q: What is your stance concerning alcohol on campus?
A: I'll be really blunt with you, I just don't know enough about the situation at Kansas. That's not an issue I've talked with people about yet, though I intend to, and I haven't had a chance to talk to Marlesa Roney about that. In general, and this is going to sound a little weird, but alcohol is a pretty dangerous thing. And the reason is that most people don't recognize that it's diminishing their capacities in one way or another, and most of the real unpleasant things that I've seen happen on campus almost always have a component of alcohol involved. It's something we really have to look at — not just as administrators and students but really—as a community. I know enough about human behavior that fingerwagging doesn't do much good. People have to know what's in their self-interest before they'll do anything meaningful, so this is something that requires a constant educational mission on the part of the university and the whole university community, not just the provost's office. Everybody has to understand what these dangers are.
Q: How do you feel about making end-of-term teacher evaluations available to the public?
A: I'll tell you how I personally feel and I'm going to answer that as a faculty member and not as an incoming provost or even a dean. I feel that student evaluations should be as public as any other personnel-related matter. The way I understand student evaluations to be handled on this campus — and I don't know how they're handled at Kansas yet
they are really part of the public record and we have two components of course instructor surveys here at the University of Texas. One is a numerical, fill-in-the-bubble, one through five, is this a good course, did you learn anything, etcetera and the other component is handwritten comments on the course. The numerical portion of the evaluation is put up on the Web so you can look up for every faculty member the student evaluations for every course they've taught. The written comments are not put on the Web and our faculty here have just decided that they would prefer that those written comments no longer be made available directly to department chairs but rather be given to the faculty and the faculty choose whether to share them with anyone. I personally don't think that's a good idea. I think that if we succeed or fail, have good teaching or bad teaching, that everybody has the right to know that's the case. I don't know the situation with your course instructor surveys well enough to say what the policy should be, but I want to find out about that quickly. I should tell you that I have a very high expectation in regards to teaching in general. As dean here, I routinely go to a course taught by every assistant professor in their third year. The professor knows when I'm coming, I tell them in advance and arrange to be there at a specific time. I sit through their class and take extensive notes and write up my impressions, thoughts, suggestion — both positive and negative — and give that to the professor in an email. I don't keep a copy of that, and I don't share it with anyone else. It's just between me and the professor. And this has had a very salutary affect on the evaluation of teaching in general here, something that I'm quite pleased with. When people do things well it's good to be able to tell them they're doing it well
Q: What do you want to do to fulfill Chancellor Robert Hemenway's vision of the University as a top-25 institution?
A: I understand Chancellor Hemenway to be saying that he wants to enhance the quality of the University across the board. The quality of research, the quality of teaching, the quality of students, the quality of the faculty, and I think that's exactly what KU should be doing. The University has just been evaluated by the North Central Association. In that evaluation they said a couple of things that I found pretty interesting. One that I agree with vigorously is that, in general, Kansas has this "aw, shucks" attitude. They don't really boast about how good they are and sometimes you have to boast how good you are. And the other thing they mentioned was that the qualified admissions program needed to be tightened up a little bit and that the standards for admission need to be raised. It's possible that this, along with having a reputational impact and enhancing the quality of admissions, could have a significant effect on the four-year graduation rate. But again, I'm looking at it from thirty thousand feet. I haven't had a chance to get into the numbers yet.
Q: What would your snow day policy be?
A: Well, it will be a lot tougher than the snow day policy at UF-Austin.

Focus on fixing form leads to better bodies
As I listened to the conversation of two male students working out, I realized their main focus wasn't on exercise, but the eye candy prancing before them. It's no wonder the recreation center is full of form nightmare. However fun it may be to check out the girl with shorts so small that they barely cover her ass, your body will soon hate you for the improper stress you're placing on it.
▼ COMMENTARY
To perform a squat, start with your feet shoulder width apart. Pay close attention to your feet. They should be facing forward
— not out, not in, forward.
Sit back like you are sitting in a chair. The majority of your weight should be on your heels.
Your knees should not fall over your toes, if they do, you risk a painful knee injury.
Carter is a Shawnee sophomore in health, sport and exercise science.
I cringe at the millions of mistakes that the ever-so-popular squat brings about. The exercises I see being performed incorrectly most often are squats, lunges, back extensions and abdominal crunches.
Faster is not always better, especially when it comes to abdominal workouts. Slow and steady wins this race. If you're performing ab exercises fast, you're cheating yourself. Whether you're doing abs on the floor, a ball, or a bench, you're main goal should be control. Control your body so that you're contracting your abdominals into your spine. Be careful not to just suck in your stomach, you have to draw it in using your core muscles. Keeping it contracted the entire time, slowly lift your body up, keeping your elbows wide and exhaling on the way up, inhaling on the way down. If you hold your breath or breathe on the wrong parts, your abs will form outward instead of in. No one wants pooey abs!
Lunges are another exercise performed in so many incorrect ways, I wonder how people are still walking. You should have a

wide enough stance so you can bend your legs straight down and not have your front knee plunging over your front toe. Everyone I see doing lunges has their legs very close together. I don't know if this is because they're trying to protect their private parts or they're afraid of falling into the splits. For lunges, wider is better. All of your weight should be on your front heel and you should feel this exercise in your front gluteus.
A back extension is an excellent exercise to work your lower back, which often gets left out of workouts. Flying through the exercise like you're on a roller coaster, however, will not benefit you. I see people whip their upper body up and down using momentum to move, instead of their core muscles. I'm waiting for someone to yell "wheeee" while doing it because it looks
like so much fun. A back extension should be done slowly, focusing on using your abdominals and lower back to lift you. Your elbows should be wide.

COMMENTARY
Grieving students share sympathy
PETER MAYNARD
ERIN WILEY
opinion@kansan.com
Death is the common end to all living things on earth. This doesn't make accepting the death of someone — or something — any easier.
Since last fall, I have witnessed the deaths of a former floor mate from Ellsworth Hall, a fraternity brother of my close friends and a relative I was extremely close to.
The recent death of Andrew Rotman, Cawker City freshman, came as a shock to many. Though I didn't know him, I know how the people closest to him are feeling right now. I also know that although this is hard now, things will get better again.
I had been lucky. Up to that point in my life I had never lost anyone close to me.
My best advice to someone who has lost a friend or relative unexpectedly is to never forget.
Like the most recent death at the University of Kansas, the deaths I experienced were both shocking and unexpected.
It's hard at first, but talk about your loved one. Talk about the good times and share funny stories. Hang up pictures. Do anything to keep the memory alive.
I remember cheering at a baseball team with a couple of my guy friends, including their fraternity brother, not more than three weeks before his death. A memory of walking down Jayhawk Boulevard with him late last spring also sticks out in my mind. One other memory is so simple that it probably wouldn't be remembered had he not died. The day of the baseball game, I borrowed a pen from him and was worried about returning it.
Of course, not everyone can mourn the loss of a close friend or loved one by themselves, and that's OK, too.
Because I wasn't very close to him — I would have considered him a friend, but not one of my best friends — these memories are what I have left of him. Thinking about these has helped me move past that unexpected loss.
There are many ways to go about the mourning process and realize everything will be okay.
After I attended my relative's wake, things got easier. At first I was scared and didn't want to go. I told my parents I had an extracredit event. Finally, they talked me into attending. Looking back, I'm glad I did. It made me feel better to laugh at pictures and stories with my family.
On campus, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) will help students dealing with any problem. They came to Ellsworth last fall when my floor mate died, and they were at Templin Hall to give support.
At this point I knew everything was okav and going to be better.
Call CAPS. Visit the Web site.
Do everything possible to help
yourself. There is someone out
there willing to help.

GM closes first of 12 plants 2,200 laid off at facility
BY TIM TALLEY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OKLAHOMA CITY — Some workers brought cameras to General Motors Corp.'s Oklahoma plant to take photographs of their work stations and coworkers before the last vehicle rolled off the line Monday, photos that will become treasured keepsakes in scrapbooks.
Others just brought their sadness.
"It's a rough day," said GM spokeswoman Nancy Sarpolis in Detroit. "It's hard to see your co-workers go."
Orlin Wagner/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
After 27 years, the last vehicle produced at the plant, a white Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, rolled out Monday evening as GM shut down production in the first of 12 facilities the company plans to close by 2008 as it struggles to match production with market demand.
Detroit-based GM plans to cut 30,000 jobs. The Oklahoma City plant employs 2,400 — 2,200 hourly and 200 salaried

"It's obviously a sad day for the state of Oklahoma," said Mike Seney, senior vice president of The State Chamber, a statewide business and industry group.
Gov. Brad Henry said the state will help displaced employees and their families find new jobs through job assistance, retraining and educational opportunities.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ABILENE — Fifty years ago, a boycott of Montgomery's buses was underway and a black student had tried to take classes at the University of Alabama. A black teenager's murder in Mississippi was still fresh on many American minds.
President Eisenhower and his staff at the White House couldn't avoid civil rights as an issue, and a big question nagged at them that winter. How could they take advantage of the social ferment, split Northern and Southern Democrats and lure black voters back to the party of Lincoln?
Memos, letters and notes from the time are among the 26 million pages of documents now held by Eisenhower's presidential library in Abilene. Earlier this month, the library opened an additional 40,000 pages to the public, and it has an additional 400,000 pages of once-classified material to be reviewed.
Some of the papers indicate Eisenhower's staff — and the president himself — sometimes struggled with the civil rights movement. His aides also pondered its political ramifications.
"There are lessons to be learned from the Eisenhower archives," said Karl Weissenbach, the library's deputy director. "I think sometimes we think nowadays that the world was created in the past four, five or six years."
For Eisenhower's administration, taking steps to ensure blacks' civil rights were bound up in the question of whether the president would pursue legislation in 1956. But Ike's team also was looking forward to the November 1956 elections, when Eisenhower faced
re-election.
Democrats had fared well in off-year elections in 1954, recapturing control of both houses of Congress and winning a majority of governorships.
And in a February 1956 memo, Maxwell Rabb, an associate counsel to the president, complained that an "iron curtain of silence" on civil rights by the administration could prevent Republicans from splitting Northern and Southern Democrats "right down the middle."
Writing to Sherman Adams, a former New Hampshire governor who was Eisenhower's special assistant, Rabb suggested "a real effort to bring some men into government who can do a real 'public relations' job on this."
ute to an atmosphere of unease and tension throughout the nation." Rabb wrote.
The same day, Rabb had received a letter from Rep. John Heselton, a Massachusetts Republican, asking why Ike wasn't more aggressive.
"The increasing agitation and sporadic outbursts of violence in the South will contrib-
"I do not know anything about the pro's and con's being advanced to the president, but if congressional action on civil rights means anything to the Republican Party, it had better start doing something about it." the congressman wrote.
The previous summer, Emmet Till, a 14-year-old Chicago boy, had been murdered over a remark he made to a white store owner's wife while visiting Mississippi.
In early February 1956, the U.S. Supreme Court forced the University of Alabama to enroll Authorine Lucy, its first black student. However, harassment by rock- and egg-throwing
white students led the university to suspend her after only one day.
"Certainly, President Eisenhower and others were aware of all the same things," said Dennis Vasquez, superintendent of the national historic site in Topeka dedicated to the U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board decision declaring school segregation unconstitutional.
Eisenhower did push for civil rights legislation in 1956. A year later, Congress approved the first civil rights bill of the 20th Century, creating a new commission and a special division within the Justice Department.
But his administration wouldn't cut off federal funds to communities where segregation still was practiced, something Rep. John Dingell, a Michigan Democrat, suggested in a letter to Bryce Harlow, an
Eisenhower aide.
Harlow wrote to Dingell early in 1956 that the federal courts would determine what represented compliance with the Brown ruling.
"The course of action which you ask the president to take would be, therefore, inconsistent both in act and in spirit with the decision of the Supreme Court," Harlow wrote.
Eisenhower himself had misgivings about Brown, according to speech writer Arthur Larson.
In October 1957 — after Eisenhower used troops to integrate Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., in compliance with a federal court order — the president told Larson, according to the speech writer's notes, that Brown went too far. Larson quoted Eisenhower as saying the court should have guaranteed equal opportunities but "to require integration was not necessary."
"For this reason, he preferred to avoid any show of pushing integration as such, beyond doing his constitutional duty of seeing that lawful court orders are obeyed," Larson wrote.
One page of Eisenhower's own handwritten notes from the period said: "Troops — not to enforce integration but to prevent opposition by violence to orders of a court."
Just before he left office, Eisenhower complained about the GOP's lack of success in wooing black voters. In notes from a December 1960 meeting, Harlow said Eisenhower told other prominent Republicans that black voters didn't care about GOP efforts on civil rights.
"The President pointed out that we have made civil rights a main part of our efforts these past eight years but have lost Negro support instead of increasing it," Harlow wrote.

Looking forward to Texas
Absolutely no one thought Kansas would be tied for first place in the Big 12 Conference after back-to-back losses to Kansas State and Missouri.
So can you blame KU fans for looking past Baylor to the potential conference title game at Texas on Saturday? It's OK to start thinking about the Longhorns, as long as the players don't.
---
This is the opportunity Kansas has been waiting for to make a statement. Besides defeating Oklahoma at home, which Colorado and Nebraska have done, Kansas doesn't have anything close to an impressive victory. Defeating Texas would give Kansas a boost in the NCAA tournament committee's eyes.
With that said, KU fans have plenty of reasons to be confident. Oklahoma State exposed Texas' key weaknesses on Sunday with its 80-61 victory.
TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
The best way to defeat the Longhorns is to get to their bench. In Sunday's game, only one Texas player who didn't start played more than 3 minutes, even though three starters finished with four fouls.
For the season, Texas has only two bench players who average more than 10 minutes. Compare
KANSAS VS TEXAS SATURDAY
BAYLOR
that to Kansas' bench, which has four. Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson said earlier in the season that Texas had the best starting lineup in the Big 12, but Kansas had the best lineup one through nine.
The layhawks need to get the Longhorns into early foul trouble, or just wear them out with fresh bodies. This is especially true for forwards Brad Buckman and LaMarcus Aldridge. They are the main advantage Texas has over Kansas. Both will have their hands full with freshman Julian Wright and sophomores Sasha Kaun, C.J. Giles and Darnell Jackson. I'll take four-on-two in any game.
If Wright draws Aldridge to the perimeter and uses his superior ball handling skills to drive past him to the basket. Aldridge may get frustrated and accumulate fouls and bench time.

Pair aims to lead team by example
JAMES BURKE AND KELLEE LANZER
BY JONATHAN ANDERSON
janderson@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Whether it was being childhood pen pals or patrolling the middle infield for the Kansas softball team, it is clear that Destiny Frankenstein and Jessica Moppin are good friends and even better team leaders.
Olathe senior Jessica Moppin and Broken Arrow, Okla., senior Destiny Frankenstein became friends at the age of 10 by playing in softball tournaments. While competing, they developed a respect for each other on the field and a strong relationship as friends off the field.
Although the pen pal letters slowed in frequency as they grew older, the two friends kept up with each other through meetings in softball tournaments.
Carrying a routine consuming their entire day is what the two captains said they wanted their younger teammates to be able to cope with. They agreed that being busy at all hours of the day improved self-discipline and showed the team that they were ready to handle what was thrown at them.
It wasn't until their senior year in high school that the two found out they had both signed to play softball for Kansas. With the excitement of being Division I softball players, the two quickly learned it wasn't all of the glory and glamour they thought it might be.
Frankenstein and Moppin both infielders, agreed that the rigorous schedule forced them to mature.
"What many people fail to understand is that you have to really love to play softball if you are going to make this kind of commitment," Frankenstein said. "We hope that our team-mates see our determination to
be successful and our love for the game."
Along with having the desire to play the game, both Moppin and Frankenstein try to remind the girls of how tough it is to be female athletes at this level.
They wanted to reiterate how important it was to be conscious of the hard work and dedication it took to get to the level they are at and how important it was to reflect on the opportunity they have been given.
"We were told as young
girls that a scholarship to play Division I college athletics is almost unattainable," Frankenstein said. "With that in mind, we make it a personal goal of ours to play hard every day and appreciate our opportunity."
Frankenstein and Moppin led the team by example as much as by instruction. Last season, they were the team leaders in both home runs and RBI. Moppin is the Jayhawks all-time home run leader, and

Jayhawks to fight for tournament play
NCAA spot hinges on final games
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
mphillips@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
With three games remaining in the season, the women's basketball team will be fighting to preserve its postseason chances — but so will all three teams the Jayhawks will face.
Kansas is sitting on a 15-9 record, but is only 4-9 in Big 12 play.
Because the team's conference record is below .500, the Jayhawks will not be considered for the NCAA tournament unless they can win the Big 12 postseason tournament, held in Dallas at the end of the season.
However, the Jayhawks will finish the season with an overall record above .500 which is the criteria to make the Women's National Invitational Tournament.
The criteria for being selected into the WNIT is difficult to quantify. Last season, the tournament selected Nebraska and Texas A&M. Nebraska was the best Big 12 team not selected for the NCAA tournament, but Texas A&M was a curious selection.
Unlike other postseason tournaments, the NCAA is not in charge of the WNIT. It is run by a company called Triple Crown Sports, based in Fort Collins, Colo.
The Aggies finished the season just 16-15, with a 4-12 conference record. There were teams with better records, but in the end, the Aggies were allowed to host the first two rounds of the tournament.
Tuesday night, the Jayhawks will travel to Lubbock,
Moslev returns to team following suspension
Junior guard Shaquina Mosley was reinstated to the women's basketball team on Monday, six days after she was suspended at the coach's discretion.
Mosley, nicknamed "Shaq," missed a home game against Nebraska and a road game at Iowa State. Kansas lost the Nebraska game 65-67 but won the Iowa State game 57-56 in overtime.
Before the suspension, Mosley had been averaging 2.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in 13.4 minutes per game.
She will find it harder to get time on the court now that junior guard Sharita
Texas to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Texas Tech is the only team in the Big 12 to average more than 10,000 fans per game, but has had a down year compared to its recent successes.
At 12-12 overall, the Red Raiders will need to beat Kansas on their home court to stay in the NCAA hunt.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson declined to go into the specifics of the suspension after the Iowa State game on Saturday, and said she would meet with Mosley to discuss possible reinstatement.
From there, Kansas will host Missouri Saturday afternoon in the Border Showdown. Missouri is currently tied for
Mosley resumed practice with the team on Monday and will travel to Lubbock, Texas, for Wednesday night's game against Texas Tech.
Smith has emerged as a star defensive player for the Jayhawks. When Smith is on the court, senior guard Erica Hallman has been running the offense.
Michael Phillips
The Wildcats are currently tied for fifth in the conference, and it is possible that the game in Lawrence will decide the team's post season fate.
Missouri could likely survive a road loss to Kansas and still have strong chances to make the tournament.
The teams met earlier this season in Columbia, and Missouri walked away with a 64-57 victory in a game that was closer than the score indicated.
second in the Big 12 with a 19-6 record, including 9-4 in conference play.
Senior night for the Jayhawks will be Saturday, March 3, a home game against Kansas State. The Wildcats were expected to have a rebuilding year, but have used a 10-1 non-conference record to help propel them into the upper portion of the standings.
The Wildcats are currently tied for fifth in the conference, and it is very possible that the game in Lawrence will decide the team's postseason fate.
Coming down the
stretch, the last thing the Jayhawks want is to face three teams hanging onto their postseason chances, but that is exactly what has happened.
If the Jayhawks fight their way into the WNIT, they will likely do it by playing the role of spoiler to one or more of these teams.

Not only do the two seniors push the underclassmen, but the underclassmen appreciate their captains for their hard work and leadership qualities. Freshman Stevie Cristoo said she felt fortunate to have such confident team leaders to help her along with her rookie season.
Frankenstein sits at third place on that list.
Example
"They know what to say at crucial times to help the team focus," Crisosto said. "One of the biggest things that helps our team is our team chemistry. We all get along very well, and a lot of that has to do with our solid leadership. When our captains are focused and big supporters, the team stays sharp and mentally prepared for game situations."
looked upon as a team leader." Frankenstein said. "For our team to put their trust and look to us to get the job done is a great situation of trust. Sure, we will have bad days, but the beauty of this team is that we are all there to pick each other up when times are tough and that is a special thing that many teams do not have."
Moppin feels that her role as team captain made her lead by example more.
"It is an honorable situation to be."
"It makes me come to practice and step my game up even more," Moppin said. "I can't get down because my teammates need me and need me to be that leader to them in case they get down. Personally, I appreciated the leadership from our captains when I was a younger player and how they picked me up when I was down."

Kaun, Jackson and Giles are effective when they take the ball up strong under the basket. Buckman could be in trouble, too.
Texas' defense, on the other hand, didn't look so good against Oklahoma State. Kansas held Oklahoma State to 49 points while Texas allowed 80. The Longhorns repeatedly left their feet on ball fakes and forgot to switch when the Cowboys set screens, leaving wide open layups and jump-shots. They won't get

away with that sloppy play against the terrific passing the Jayhawks have shown lately.
One final reason to believe Kansas has a great chance to defeat Texas is its ability to play in tough road environments. So far Kansas is 5-1 in conference road games.
Normally the Frank Erwin Center is tame. It didn't even sell out when top 10 power Villanova came to Austin. But Texas fans, who could give a flip about basketball, will probably show up in full force for ESPN's "College Gameday."
Fans in Austin, Texas, aren't used to seeing good basketball. They will be treated to that on Saturday. This game will be a coin flip, but I have a feeling the boys in blue will come out on top.

U.S. skaters win silver
MUSKETTE
United States' Benjamin Agosto and his partner Tanith Belbin, wearing their silver medals, unravel an American flag following the free dance final in Figure Skating Ice Dancing at the Turin 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, Italy, Monday.
BY BARRY WILNER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURIN, Italy — At last, a figure skating medal for the United States — in ice dancing, of all things. And yet another Olympic gold for Russia.
Tanith Belbin and partner Ben Agosto snapped the U.S. medals drought in figure skating with a silver Monday night. They were behind Tatiana Navka and Roman Kostomarov, who gave Russia a gold medal hat trick — pairs, men's and dance. No nation has swept the four skating events in one games, and Russian Irina Slutskaya is favored in the women's competition.
"It's only our first Olympics," Belbin said. "We're competing with second- and third-time Olympians, so this is great to come here and get a medal the first time out when we didn't even know we'd be here. Can't ask for more."
"I am extremely proud that we've been able to achieve this for our country," said the Canadian-born Belbin, who became a U.S. citizen on Dec. 31.
Belbin and Agosto won the first dance medal for the United States since a bronze in 1976 by Colleen O'Connor and Jim Millns — and only the second medal of any kind. It also is the only medal for American figure skaters at these Olympics.
Elena Grushina and Ruslan Goncharov of Ukraine won the bronze.
All three couples performed with poise and style. Even better, nobody crashed to the ice.
Sunday's original dance was marred by falls and an injury that forced the top Canadians out of the free dance. Italian favorites Barbara Fusar Poli and Maurizio Margaglio were back, friends again, after their flop and subsequent venomous stare down.
"We are like brother and sister," Fusar Poli said. "We were angry at ourselves, but between each other everything is okay."
Not only were they okay on ice, but they kissed and made up after four minutes of tense skating featuring some intricate lifts and carries. She put her arm around his shoulder as they sat next to each other this time —
Those marks were in sharp contrast to the winners, whose 200.64 total was the only one over 200 points and won by 4.58 over Belbin and Agosto.
observing their mediocre scores that placed them sixth.
Americans Melissa Gregory and Denis Petukhov were 14th, and Jamie Silverstein and Ryan O'Meara finished 16th.
"I'm happy we performed well and all of our hard work this year has been accomplished," said Petukhov, who was born in Russia and became a U.S. citizen a year ago. Petukhov and his wife will stick around for a shot at the 2010 Vancouver Games.
"Yes," he said, "we're going for gold."
Their biggest competition could be their countrymen; Belbin is 21, Agosto 24.
Rising stars in the sport since 2000, Beibin and Agosto's silver medal at last year's world championships marked them as contenders. When Belbin became eligible to compete for the U.S. seven weeks ago, their Olympic schedule was pushed up four years.
Although Belbin and Agosto have won three U.S. titles, they were barred from the Olympics until she got her citizenship all U.S. competitors must be Americans. They made the country proud by surging from sixth after compulsories to second through the original dance.
"It's kind of surreal," said Agosto, who held up the medal and did a peek-a-boo look through the whole in the center. During their victory lap, he stopped whenever he saw an American flag in the stands and held up the prize.
The couple remained in second with a passionate flamenco free skate that far surpassed their program at nationals, but was not completely clean—and certainly was not in the same league as Navka and Kostomarov's playful routine to "Carmen."
No matter Considering where U.S. dance has been — or hasn't been — through the last three decades, silver was just super.
"It's great now to have a set—a world and an Olympic silver medal," said Belbin, who wiped away tears on the medals stand. "That's amazing."
SKIING
Croatian skier sets new female record
BY ANDREW DAMPF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN SICARIO, Italy — An ailing Janica Kostelic didn't even plan on skiing the super-G. She did, though, and the Olympic record book will never be the same.
Kostelic's silver on Monday was her sixth Alpine skiing medal - her second in as many races here and a new career record for a woman.
The 24-year-old Croatian still has a pair of events to go, health permitting.
Her four golds — one here and three in Salt Lake City in 2002 — are another record.
"For now I have six and we will see. Even if I quit now, I would be happy." Kostelic said.
Austrian Michaela Dorfmeister followed her downhill victory with her second gold medal of these games, covering a relatively easy super-G course in 1 minute. 32.47 seconds.
Kostelic wasn't bothered by finishing 0.27 seconds behind Dorfmeister.
"If she won today, she was better. It's not her fault; it's my fault. I don't take things so seriously." she said.
If it weren't for foul weather, Kostelic would have had to wait until Wednesday's slalom or Friday's giant slalom to surpass the two other women who have five Olympic Alpine medals.
Or, as her father and coach Ante Kostelic put it, even though his daughter didn't win, "all the medals is victory for us."
She's been sick and, after winning the combined event Saturday, said she wouldn't race Sunday's super-G. Then a snow storm forced officials to postpone the race until Monday, giving Kostelic a chance to recuperate.
medal whenever she skis — she won all three races she entered at last season's world championships.
"It is a fact." Ante Kostelic said of his daughter's domination.
She may not be through yet. Janice is the defending slalom champion, though her father said winning at these Olympics wouldn't be easy.
"These Austrian girls are very good," Ante Kostelic said, referring to Marlies Schild, Kathrin Zettel and Nicole Hosp. "And Anja Paerson is still here. She is not dead."
"I didn't get any rhythm on the course and I tried to find a lot of speed but it was difficult to find it," Paerson said. In other words, the course could have been more challenging.
Sweden's Paerson won the past two overall World Cup titles, but so far has only two bronze medals from these games. She finished 12th Monday.
Dorfmeister and other skiers criticized the course last year as too easy, signing a petition to move the race to the men's venue in nearby Sestriere. Organizers responded by enlarging the jumps and adding bumps and rolling terrain over the summer.
Paerson was still impressed with her rival Kostelic.
"She's proven herself strong every time she's come to race," Paerson said.
Many of those who did show up wore the red and white of Croatia.
The Croatians cheered when Austria's Alexandra Meissnitzer finished behind Kostelic to take the bronze medal and did not seem too dejected when Dorfmeister, the last of the top skiers to race, put down the day's best run.
"It's the top to finish my career like this," Dorfmeister said.

Jayhawks cannot look past Bears
KU Tip-off
LAST TIME OUT
Kansas' ninth straight victory came at the expense of the last team to beat Kansas: Missouri. Kansas took control early, building a double-digit lead in the opening minutes and never looking back. Kansas' tough defense held Missouri to 32 percent shooting, and sophomore guard Russell Robinson had six steals, which tied a career high.
Kansas vs. Baylor 7 Tonight, Allen Fieldhouse
PLAYER TO WATCH
Brandon Rush. Rush has had two subbar games in which he has averaged 12.5 points per game, almost two points below his 14.3-point season average. Rush should break out of this mini-slump against the struggling Bears. Rush needs to keep trying to find his shot because he is shooting better than 50 percent from the field this season.
9
3 QUICK FACTS
- Straight victories for Kansas, a season high.
15.2 - Points per game in Big 12 play for freshman Mario Chalmers.
8-0 - Record for Kansas since Julian Wright joined the starting lineup.
KEY TO VICTORY
Don't look ahead to Texas. Kansas knows that a victory against Baylor will set up a clash with Texas on Saturday that could decide who sits atop the Big 12 standings. The Jayhawks can't fall into the trap of underestimating the Bears. Baylor has knocked off Missouri and Kansas State this season, both teams the Jayhawks have lost to. Kansas should be able to get up big early on Baylor, but only after all time has run off the clock should Kansas start thinking about Texas.
Kansas
OFFENSE
The Kansas offense has benefited from sharp shooting this season. It shoots 48.2 percent from the field. The problem that has plagued Kansas all year is turnovers. If the Jayhawks want to make a run in March they will need to learn to limit giving opposing teams opportunities to capitalize off costly mistakes.Kansas is averaging nearly 17 turnovers per game.The Kansas starting guards of sophomore Russell Robinson and freshmen Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers will continue to shoulder the bulk of the offensive load.
KU KU KU
DEFENSE
The Kansas defense has been stellar this season, forcing turnovers and not allowing opponents to produce easy shots. Kansas allowed Missouri to hit only 32 percent of its shots. Kansas has played great pressure defense, especially Chalmers and Robinson. Chalmers leads the Big 12 in steals with 66. Robinson had six steals against Missouri on Saturday. Expect another solid defensive output against a struggling Baylor team.
— Ryan Colaianni
KU KU KU KU
Baylor OFFENSE
Baylor comes into Tuesday's game as the lowest-scoring team in the Big 12 Conference, averaging just 59 points a game. When Baylor finds a way to score, it is usually led by freshman guard Curtis Jerrells. Jerrells is averaging 12.3 points per game and was named Big 12 Rookie of the Week two weeks ago. Another player to watch on offense is sophomore guard Aaron Bruce. Bruce is averaging 11.4 points per game this season. Freshman guard Henry Dugat has been a pleasant surprise for the Bears this season. The freshman guard is third on the team with 8.3 points per game and has seen action in all 12 games the team has played this season.
BU
DEFENSE
Defensively, the Bears are almost as disappointing as they are on offense. Baylor is second to last in the league, letting up 72.8 points per game. The team's leader in rebounds is freshman center Mamadou Diene, with 5.6 rebounds per game. He is also the team's leading shot blocker with 24 blocked shots in just 12 games. Jerrells may be the team's top perimeter defender. He leads the team in steals with 17 and usually guards the opposing team's best player. Oklahoma, Colorado and Texas have all scored more than 80 points on Baylor this season.

Baylor played hard, but lost by only four points to rival Texas A&M on Saturday. Freshman guard Curtis Jerrells and sophomore guard Aaron Bruce each had 14 points. Senior forward Tommy Swanson had 12 points and 14 rebounds. Texas A&M guard Acie Law hit two free throws with just 2.6 seconds left in the game to secure the victory for his team. Baylor displayed signs of promise, going on a 17-3 run during the first half.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Bruce. He's the type of guy who dives for every loose ball and sacrifices his body. Bruce was a player who coaches around the league said would have a major impact in the conference. He is improving every game and proving the other coaches to be correct. Bruce will either guard freshman guard Mario Chalmers or sophomore guard Russell Robinson. Look for Robinson to guard Bruce.
3 QUICK FACTS
0 The number of non-conference games Baylor played this season.The team was restricted because of penalties from the NCAA.
13. 8 — The gap between Baylor's points per game and its opponents' points per game — the worst margin in the conference.
12 - The place the Bears find themselves this season in the Big 12.
Baylor doesn't have much of a chance in this one. The team's best chance is for it to play a flawless game and hope Kansas commits numerous turnovers.

Mixed-gender living can be such a drag
By RACHEL PARKER

KANSAST STAFF WRITER
Melissa Black lies in her bed tossing and turning, annoyed by the constant rumbling of the TV in the living room. Her roommate's loud video game reminded her that she lives with a man. Does she snap or let it go for tonight?
Black and others have found that differences between the sexes can cause conflicts in a mixed-living arrangement.
She said the main problems that come with living with a guy were his noisy hobbies, his friends, who were over all the time, and that he couldn't cook. Black said she was the one to speak up about what bothered her, but he didn't say much.
Black and her roommate, Jason, planned on living in the four-bedroom town home with a third female roommate, but the two ended up alone. Jason took the bedroom on the main floor, and she took a bedroom upstairs.
"Girls are just so much more considerate," said Black, Wichita senior.

2. Do your daily routines match up?
Who stays up and who's in bed by 10 p.m.?
3. Cleanliness. Who’s messy and who’s anal retentive?
4. Will there be a pet? Will it cause problems for the other roommate?
5. Decide what possessions can and cannot be used by another roommate.
6. Divide household chores equally, and make sure the other will be able to pay rent on time.

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Joel Plummer
Geography doctoral student*
Joel Plummer is a doctoral student in the Department of Geography at the University of Kansas and recent recipient of a NASA Earth System Science Fellowship. He is researching a geographic information system, ice sheet mapping and mass balance. Plummer researched in Antarctica for four weeks in January as a member of the Polar Radar for Ice Sheet Measurements project. He helped drive a rover that carried a radar system, which gathered data about the ice sheets to study their effect on sea level rise and global climate change.
Sunglasses and sunscreen. Sunburn and snow blindness are a major issue down there. In fact, sunglasses are the only item explicitly required of visitors.With the high ultraviolet concentration and the high reflectivity of the snow and ice, sunscreen with an SPF of 40 and a good pair of shades were essential.
What was the most important personal item you had in Antarctica?
What did you sleep in?
Most people brought tents and created a tent city. The sun was out 24 hours per day, which warmed up the tents. If there were 10 on a team you could put up a Jamesway tent, which has a stove that warmed up between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. One night at Happy Camper School, a remote area where campers learn how to work and live in Antarctica, I built a one-man emergency snow trench to sleep in.
What were you looking forward to the most when you returned?
A nice hot shower, At the camp we had limited water and had to melt snow to shower. We had a hot water heater no bigger than a basketball so we had to take a sea shower, which was really annoying and hard work. You only take a shower about once a week. The weirdest part about coming back to New Zealand on my way home was not seeing
sun 24 hours. I saw my first sunset in a month. Readjusting to nighttime was harder than adjusting to sunlight all day. It was kind of freaky.
What is your biggest concern with global warming?
Global warming is an established fact The question is what's causing it. Humans play a part to some degree and that's what science is trying to figure out. My research is on the effects and how global warming affects ice sheets and sea level rise. I don't dwell on who causes it or how, because we know it's happening. I want to figure out what the long-term effects are going to be.
When do you predict the results of global warming to affect society?
Small rises in sea level would have large consequences, which I think we will have to deal with in our lifetime or the next 100 years. Look at Louisiana. Just one more meter of water there would have turned catastrophe into total devastation.
How many are in your family?
I loved being the youngest of five because my parents were trained by the time I was a teenager so I didn't get hassled.
Pets?
My wife and I have a Border collie and Labrador mix named Thursday. It was the day we decided to get the dog and we couldn't think of a name. It was either Thursday or the twenty ninth.
What do you like better about Lawrence than New York?
I like the people here, they are friendlier than the East Coast is. My rent is about the same as it was in upstate New York, but people here think it's expensive.
What was your favorite job?
What was your favorite job? For two summers after I graduated, I worked for Lockheed Martin in Akron, Ohio. I put together GIS databases for F-16 flight simulators.
DEVELOPMENT
Homes built despite vacancies
BY RACHEL PARKER
rparker@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WITTER
The Lawrence Department of Neighborhood Resources has zoning approved for new projects to develop more residential living space.
But with apartment rents decreasing and more vacant space within complexes, is more construction necessary?
According to the Lawrence Department of Neighborhood Resources, Lawrence has 31,153 dwelling units. Out of these dwellings, the 2000 Census reports that 54 percent are rental housing units, opposed to the 31 percent statewide. There are over 50 listings for apartments at the Lawrence Apartment Department's Web site.
Population growth is steady at about 2.3 percent each year, and a survey by Keller & Associates in 2001 shows the apartment rental market at a vacancy rate of about 2.6 percent.
Sandra Day, a city county planner, said the plans were conditional and there were more steps that needed to be taken before any construction plans were to be discussed.
One project being discussed was a second construction phase for The Legends, 4101 W.24th Place. It was submitted for review by the city and approved. Diane Lawson, vice president of Callaway Development Corporation, which owns The Legends, said everything was in place with regard to city requirements for the project.
A multi-family development project on the corner of 23rd Street and O'Connell Drive in the southeast part of Lawrence was approved in January, which included multiple complexes and townhomes.
Lawson said that because building costs had increased recently because of dramatic events and natural disasters worldwide, such as Hurricane Katrina, the construction was being held for a later date.
"There are plenty of apartments in Lawrence." she said.
Jami Guthrie, Wichita junior, said she knew apartments were vacant at The Legends, where she lives. She moved from one apartment to a another in the complex in mid-January.
"They said 40 people moved out after first semester, and they
gave a huge list of rooms we could choose from," she said.
Guthrie now lives in a three-bedroom apartment, with one room vacant. She said she knew her old four-bedroom apartment was empty as well. She also was offered discounted rent for signing next year's lease early.
Property rents can increase or decrease, depending on the market rate. The competition between different complexes can contribute to the prices.
Megan Harrod, property manager for Tuckaway Apartments, 2600 W. 6th St., said renting rates had decreased last year but increased this year. She said they hadn't raised rent last year because of competition, but this year they increased it to compensate. — Edited by Matt Wilson

LEGISLATURE
Lower tuition bill amended
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
fdavis@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Nonresident students may soon be able to qualify for a discounted tuition rate. A bill that would add a third tuition level, the "Kansas commitment rate," to Kansas educational institutions is being sent to the Legislative Educational Planning Committee.
The House of Representatives Higher Education Committee on Monday adopted several key amendments to the bill that offers a lower tuition rate to nonresident students - as long as they agree to stay in Kansas for five years after graduation - before sending to the bill to the committee.
Rep. David Huff (R-Lenexa) said the bill offered a new angle on tuition, but that the difference in the amount of tuition for the middle commitment rate and the flat nonresident rate had to be looked at closer. Huff said the bill simply needed more time to be worked on and that the Higher Education Committee was not ready to present the bill to the Kansas Board of Regents.
A looming question that surrounded the bill, one that the University of Kansas was especially concerned with, was the potential revenue loss with the middle rate. An amendment to the bill capped the number of students that could
utilize the middle rate at any school at 250.
Another amendment added to the bill detailed that students who left the state of Kansas before the five-year agreement would have to pay back the institution they attended as opposed to paying back the state of Kansas. The amount someone would have to pay back would be the difference between the middle and nonresident rate, plus interest.
Rep. Tim Owens (R-Overland Park) said he was pleased with the amendments and was not at all dismayed that bill was being sent to the LEPC for further review.
"I think it's a good compromise," Owens said. Owens said that sending the bill to the LEPC does not kill the idea of the bill and that the extra time to work on it enables people to examine other options for the bill.
Owens said he was optimistic about the dialogue the bill has generated both in and out of the House. He said he had already received two e-mails from potential KU students who would be interested in the middle rate if it passed.
- Edited by Lindsey St. Clair
The amended bill also outlines that the rate would take effect for the 2006-2007 school year and that the Kansas Board of Regents would set the middle tuition rate.

Professor leaving KU for Minnesota job
A distinguished professor in medicinal chemistry is leaving the University of Kansas.
Gunda Georg, University distinguished professor of medicinal chemistry, was appointed as the chairman of the Department of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Minnesota next fall. Georg will also hold the Robert Vince Chair in Medicinal Chemistry and a McKnight Distinguished Professorship.
"This is exactly the kind of environment and infrastructure I am being asked to develop at Minnesota," Georg said.
Georg joined the KU School of Pharmacy faculty as an assistant professor in 1984. She said in a press release that the University was a supportive environment to develop strong
research skills.
Although the University presented a counteroffer, Georg said the opportunity at Minnesota was too good to turn down. Her new position brings with it "unprecedented resources"
"Given the history and reputation of KU and the School of Pharmacy, I know they will be able to recruit a prominent faculty researcher to pick up where I leave off," Georg said.
Georg's research grants will stay with their designated projects at the University.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
She said making the system more aggressive was just the first step of many to further reduce the amount of SPAM that students receive. A planning group has been formed to find the next SPAM solution for the University.
Information Services expects that an additional 10 percent of e-mail would be tagged as SPAM with the lower-threshold system. Ludwig said that this number could be different for every student depending on the kind of things they do online.
Darion Pearson, Lawrence senior, said on average she received about six SPAM e-mails per day. She said it was a pain to keep deleting them throughout the day.
"In a university you have a different expectation." Ludwig said. "We are a little more concerned about the scope of what we automatically delete."
Pearson said she didn't like getting the SPAM e-mail because she would get excited about receiving mail, and then was let down when it was "junk."
Some goals for the new system are to not only detect SPAM and other malicious e-mail, but also to find a way to recover more messages.
With the current system, Ludwig said they didn't delete any e-mail for students, even if they were tagged as SPAM. She said before the University changed the way it filtered SPAM it needed to get student input on what they would like to see happen.
Pearson said she wanted to reserve the right to final judgement on her e-mail.
"I don't want KU to have the right to get rid of my junk," Pearson said.
She said she liked the idea of the University decreasing the amount of SPAM she received but wanted to make sure she still received all of her personal e-mail.

Standoff ends with spectacular ambush
CRIME

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Police blasted out a 20th story window and stormed a room at a Las Vegas Strip hotel-casino Tuesday, arresting a gunman who authorities say killed a man and shot at police and a security guard during a six-hour standoff.
No shots were fired in the final assault on Room 2036 of Harrah's Carnaval Tower, as a SWAT team burst in around 7
"We were forced to take out an outside window in our attempts to take him into custody." Sgt. Chris Jones said.
a. m. Police would not say how they shattered the window on the 35-story tower, describing it only as a tactical diversion.
Hotel guests on the 19th, 20th and 21st floors were evacuated about 1 a.m. after several people said they heard shots ring out.
Police said the man fired three shots at a security guard who went to the hotel room.
He also fired on SWAT officers through the door and the wall twice, but did not injure anyone during the negotiations, police said.
The alleged gunman was uninjured. Curtis Billy Bonilla, 22, of Las Vegas, was charged with murder, attempted murder and three counts of attempted murder of a police officer.
Guests in sleep clothes and robes were evacuated from the 19th,20th and 21st floors and offered blankets and food at the
hotel buffet, Harrah's, spokesman Alberto Lopez said.
Jim Hack, 31, a stockbroker from Phoenix, said he heard two shots about 12:30 a.m., opened his door and saw a man bleeding in the hallway several rooms away.
"He was crying for help and he was having trouble breathing." Hack said.
The victim was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
Police said he was from Reno but did not identify him.
The amount of ice mass lost from the 21 largest glaciers was equivalent to one-tenth of Mount Everest. As a result, the sea level rose approximately half a millimeter last year, an increase from the .2-millimeter addition to the oceans in 1996.
If the Greenland glaciers melt completely, the sea level would rise seven meters, enough to cover low-lying areas like Miami.
"I think it is disconcerting to see the ice melting at such a rapid rate," Kanagaratnam said. "There is a large population living in the coastal areas and rising sea levels will affect them."
David Braaten, associate professor of geography, said the size of the ice sheets results in an enormous potential for rising sea levels. These changes could "really change the face of the planet in terms of land and ocean boundaries," he said.
With NASA reporting that 53 percent of Americans live along coastlines, the implications of rapid sea level change could be financially devastating.
"If it happens slowly, I think society can adapt," Braaten said. "If it happens very rapidly, it will be very hard to adapt. It doesn't look like the long-term change is part of the picture."
Braaten said he didn't have the answer to dealing with the rising sea levels. The Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets is developing new models, maps and computer models to better understand the changes and predict what the future holds.
Director Prasad Gogineni started researching glaciers in 1993. KU research has been published since 1997 and has brought extensive news coverage for both the center and the University, he said.

Letters from WWI remind author of uncle
BY KRISTIN SULLIVAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEAVENWORTH — It had all the elements of a classic drama — deception, bloodshed, estrangement.
When Lucille Meyer rediscovered the photos and yellowed letters written from her uncle during World War I, she realized their value, both because of their age and because they recalled old memories she had of her family history.
It was a strange story. Meyer's uncle, Pvt. Chester "Chet" Cooper, was an aide to General Pershing in France during the war, she said. Her memories and his letters convey a picture of the war as a dark and confusing event, in which his only solace was the correspondence and memories of home and family.
Meyer, a longtime Leavenworth resident, published a book about her family's history in 2000.
Meyer said she still feels a link to circumstances made distant by the passage of time.
The letters from Cooper began in Camp Logan, Houston, during his training in April 1917. According to his obituary, he was a member of the Fifth Ammunition Train.
The last letter that has been preserved was sent from Paris, a year after he began writing letters from Camp Logan.
Cooper returned shortly afterward, near the end of the war.
As referred to briefly in his final letter, Cooper married a French woman named Violette and brought her back to Kansas.
"He came home in awful bad shape," Meyer said. "He was shell-shocked and gassed."
Violette compelled Cooper to marry her by announcing that she was pregnant, Meyer said. Soon after the newlyweds reached Kansas, it became apparent that there was no baby on the way.
"It was not an unusual situation," Meyer said. "They all wanted American soldiers because they thought life would be so much better here."
Cooper's new wife, who did not speak English, led to conflict in the family.
"It was not a happy marriage." Meyer said. "Grandma was never nice to her."
Nonetheless, Meyer said, the marriage led to the birth of a daughter in 1920.

Oil boom helps county
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NESS CITY — An observer need only look at one number 56 to see evidence of a resurging oil boom here. That's how many oil wells have been drilled in Ness County in the past two years alone.
"The boom's here," said Don Lahar, a Wichita land broker who is among those who has been buying up parcels here. "When you have $60 oil everyone and their dog is out buying leases. There are a lot of dollars out there in the oil industry. You could get a better value on your money in oil and gas right now as opposed to the stock market."
of deeds in Ness County, said some weeks his office records up to 80 leases. Lahar then obtains information on those buyers and offers $4 to $10 an acre.
The boom is having a marked effect. New businesses are cropping up, landowners are making money, and jobs are being created. Ness County Clerk Renee Kerr credits oil production with a county valuation that skyrocketed by nearly $10 million from 2004 to 2005.
It's not the county's first boom. The oil industry flourished in the 1950s and again in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but it collapsed in the mid-1980s. By 1999, prices had fallen to a low of $8 a barrel.
Mark Horchem, the register
"They're drilling everywhere," said Sherry Frick. The county appraiser. "It's so scattered and not in one spot. Land men are fighting to get the leases."
Today, they hover between $55 and $60.
Locals are celebrating the boom. Rooms at this town's only motel, the Derrick Inn, have been booked. Sunrise Oil Field Service, a pipe and tank battery business, has added three more workers.
Local banker Marlin Pfannenstiel said the boom boosts the economy in all manner of ways, including field workers' purchases of fuel, tires, supplies and groceries.
LEGISLATURF
Adult business signs targeted
BY CARL MANNING THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — The way Sen. Tim Huelskamp sees it, families should be able to drive down Kansas roadways, enjoy the beauty of the state and not have to look at advertisements for sexually oriented businesses.
The committee took no action on the bill after Tuesday's hearing.
"My concern is Kansas families, when driving down the highways, not be exposed to these signs," Huelskamp (R-Fowler) told the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee.
Under the bill, no sign or other outdoor advertising for a sexually-oriented business could be within a mile of any highway or interstate.
A business within a mile of such roadways could post no more than two signs — one no more than 40 square feet with the name, address, phone number and operating hours, and another noting the premises are off-limits to minors.
Signs already in place could remain for three years after the bill becomes law.
The bill is modeled on a 2004 Missouri law that has been upheld by a U.S. District Court judge, said Jim Jenkins, attorney for the Alliance Defense Fund's Kansas office.
"If it's challenged in Kansas, I feel the federal judge will take notice of the decision in Missouri," Jenkins said.
Also speaking in favor of the bill was Phillip Cosby, of Abilene, who has traveled around Kansas talking to ministers and others about trying to rein in or shut down sexually oriented businesses, which he called "an open sewer to Kansas communities."
He said an adult store near Interstate 70 in his hometown has a 15-by-30-foot sign with "Adult Superstore" in yellow letters.
The effort to restrict signs along highways isn't the only way legislators are trying to deal with sexually oriented businesses in the state.
The House Taxation Committee recently heard testimony for a bill to impose a 10 percent tax on strip clubs, escort services, adult bookstores and similar businesses. The bill was sent to a subcommittee for reworking.
"I didn't send it to a subcommittee to kill it; the committee will vote on it," said Chairman Kenny Wilk (R-Lansing).
The estimated $1 million from the tax on revenues would be used to finance programs for such things as helping sex crime victims and prosecuting those using the Internet to commit sex crimes against children.

Harvard looks for new leader
BY ANDREW RYAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Effective at the end of the academic year, Summers' move brings to a close the briefest tenure of any Harvard president since 1862, when Cornelius Felton died after two years in office. Summers has led America's wealthiest university, with an endowment of more than $25 billion, since 2001.
He became embroiled in several controversies early in his tenure, among them the departure of prominent black studies professors such as Cornel West.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Lawrence H. Summers ended his tumultuous stint as Harvard University president Tuesday, choosing to resign June 30 rather than fight with a faculty angered by his management style and comments that innate ability may explain why few women reach top science posts.
Oh my God, he sculpted Kenny!
Last year's comments to an academic conference on women in science grew into a broader debate of Summers' management style, which some considered brusque and even bullying. He was also criticized by some for his handling of plans to expand Harvard's campus across the Charles River in Boston.
"This is a day of mixed emotions for me," he added in a conference call with reporters.
"I have reluctantly concluded that the rifts between me and segments of the Arts and Sciences faculty make it infeasible for me to advance the agenda of renewal that I see as crucial to Harvard's future," Summers wrote in a letter posted on the school's Web site.
The discontent prompted a 218-185 no confidence vote from Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences last March. Faculty votes are symbolic because the seven-member Harvard Corporation has sole authority to fire the university's president.
Another no confidence vote was scheduled for next Tuesday. It was called following the resignation of Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean William Kirby: Some faculty believe he was pushed out by Summers, though Kirby has said the decision was mutual.
Summers, a former U.S. Treasury secretary in the Clinton Administration, was a prominent economist when he became Harvard's 27th president after Neil L. Rudenstine announced his resignation in May 2001 after nearly a decade in office.
Derek Bok, Harvard's president from 1971 to 1991, will serve as interim president of the University from July 1 until the conclusion of the search for a new president.
"These last years have not been without their strains and moments of rancor," the 51-year-old Summers acknowledged in his letter on the school Web site.
A former professor of economics at Harvard, Summers said he'll return to teaching at the school after a year sabbatical.
"Larry Summers has served Harvard with extraordinary vision and vitality," the members said.
On Tuesday, Kirby issued a statement saying Summers had accomplished a great deal during his tenure, and "he has set in motion important initiatives for the university's future."
Judith Ryan, the professor of German and comparative literature who introduced the latest no-confidence resolution, said Summers' resignation was appropriate under the circumstances.
Board members said in a letter posted online that the past year has been difficult and "sometimes wrenching," but they look back on Summers' tenure with appreciation.

Phelps' protests prompt more legislation
BY CHRIS BLANK
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. The House approved a bill banning protests near funerals an hour before to an hour after a service and sent the measure to the governor on Tuesday.
the actions of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan. The nondenominational church, led by the Rev. Fred Phelps, claims soldiers are being killed as divine retribution because the United States tolerates gays.
The legislation, a response to a recent protest at the St. Joseph funeral of a soldier killed in Iraq, sets no limit on how close protesters can get. But lawmakers said they plan to pass a second measure specifically prohibiting protests within 300 feet of a funeral.
Missouri is one of at least 14 states considering restrictions on funeral protests because of
Rep. Tim Meadows (D-Imperial) said he doesn't want to think how his family would react if his son-in-law, set to be deployed in July to Afghanistan, were to die and people protested outside the funeral.
"God help those people who would be out there protesting in front of my family's funeral because something would happen, and perhaps I would be the one who was going to jail," Meadows said.
Unlike most bills, which don't become law until the fall after they are passed, the bill passed Tuesday would take effect as soon as the governor sign it. The House sponsor, Rep. Martin Rucker (D-St. Joseph) said the emergency clause is necessary because a war is going on and soldiers are continuing to risk their lives.
"If the next military veteran who gives the ultimate sacrifice is in your neighborhood and the next protest is in your neighborhood, you're really going to wish we had the emergency clause," Rucker said.
The House voted Thursday to limit funeral protests to more than 300 feet. But on Tuesday,
the House receded from that vote and instead passed a Senate version with the more general restriction by a 138-14 vote.
Rep. Beth Low (D-Kansas City) said the protests are wrong, but she believes the courts will strike down attempts to limit protests at funerals.
Sen. Charlie Shields (R-St. Joseph), who sponsored the Senate version, said the two proposals would complement each other and should allay constitutional concerns.
"Realizing that there are varied opinions on it and realizing that there very likely will be a court challenge. I think it makes sense to have a back up position," Shields said.

Still no survivors after mudslide
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GUINSAUGON, Philippines — Uncertaint if they were even digging in the right place, emergency crews tried to find a mud-swamped elementary school Tuesday as fears grew that time may have run out for rescuing any more survivors of a massive slide.
Most rescue workers left the site a few hours after dark, but a few teams using specialized gear stayed behind to take advantage of the silence to listen for sounds under the mud.
"We have not found any structure to indicate the location of the school," said Joel Son, in charge of a group of miners working at the site. "It's all mud."
Hopes for a miracle have focused on the school largely because of unconfirmed reports that survivors there sent mobile phone text messages to relatives shortly after the landslide hit Friday.
It was another frustrating day, with no one found alive since just hours after a mountainside collapsed in a wall of mud and boulders that swamped the farming village of Guuinsauon on Leyte island. The official death toll rose to 107, but authorities fear it could surpass 1,000.
High-tech gear detected some underground sounds late Monday, creating a buzz of excitement and adrenaline among troops, miners and volunteers whose hopes of finding life had all but vanished.
By Tuesday, the buzz was gone again, replaced by a grim workmanlike attitude.
The U.S. Marines, Philippine troops and technicians from Malaysia and Taiwan had to give up digging at the most promising site because the soft, wet mud kept collapsing.
"As we'd dig deeper, we'd try to dig wider, but with the rain last night ... there were little landslides happening around us," said Lt. Jack Farley, who
They shifted to another spot about 200 yards away.
was heading the Marine contingent. "The soil here is so unstable."
The school is believed to be buried by up to 100 feet of muck, and ground-penetrating radar that is capable of detecting structures up to 50 feet down has come up blank.
With the landscape drastically changed, no one could be sure they were digging at the right place. Some people suggested the school was still on the same spot where it had been built; others said it could have been washed downhill.
"Even the local population has kind of lost their bearings," Farley said. "They don't have those terrain features around to distinguish where something really is."
The threat of more rain-triggered landslides also slowed the search, and it was unclear if the scratching and tapping noises that were heard Monday came from survivors or just ground water or mud settling.
"A few times we heard something, we think we heard something, because we really want to hear something," Farley said. "If there is anything at all, we're gonna go there."
Officials had refused to allow heavy machinery in the disaster zone out of fear it could cause the unstable mud to shift, but with conditions solidifying and shovels making little headway, they brought in a backhoe. It had similar problems with holes that it dug caving in.
Search teams moved carefully, unable to work as fast as they wanted for fear that their movements could set off more landslides.
"Safety is an ongoing concern right now because of the rain," said U.S. Marine Capt. Burrell Parmer, one of hundreds of American servicemen involved in the recovery operation. "So far, no survivors have been recovered. It's a sad deal."

Bomb destroys lives, market
BY ROBERT H. REID THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hadi Mizban/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
injured Iraqi woman and a child wait for further treatment in Yarmouk hospital in Baghdad after an explosion Tuesday. A car bomb exploded Tuesday at an outdoor market in a Shiite area of southwestern Baghdad, killing 22 people and injuring 28. police said. It appeared to be the deadliest car bombing against civilians in the capital in weeks.
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A car bomb exploded Tuesday on a street packed with shoppers in a Shiite area of Baghdad, killing 22 people and wounding 28, police said. It was the deadliest bomb attack in the Iraqi capital in a month.
Terrified children screamed and several women wailed for their dead, crying, "the terrorists, may God punish them." Shattered bits of fruits and vegetables from vendors' pushcarts lay scattered on the street amid pools of blood.
At least eight other people were killed and more than 30 injured Tuesday in bombings and shootings elsewhere in Baghdad and in attacks on beauty parlors and liquor stores — symbols of Western influence — in Baqouba northeast of the capital.
The car bombing occurred shortly before 5 p.m. in a Shiite corner of Dora, a predominantly Sunni Arab district of Baghdad and one of the most dangerous parts of the city — rocked almost daily by bombings, ambushes and assassinations.
Police Maj, Gen. Mahdi al-Gharawi said the bomb was detonated by remote control and an Iraqi suspected of triggering the device had been arrested. Claims of early arrests in bombing cases often prove premature.
Another policeman, 1st Lt. Maitham Abdul-Razaq, said the blast apparently was aimed at a police patrol but missed its target, killing and maiming shoppers strolling with their families along a street lined with appliance shops and fruit and vegetable stalls.
The Dora bombing was the second major attack in as many days against a Shilite target in the capital. Twelve people died Monday when a suicide bomber detonated an explosives belt on
It was the deadliest bombing in Baghdad since Jan. 19, when a suicide attacker blew himself up in a coffee shop, killing 22 people and injuring 23.
a bus in the heavily Shiite district of Kazimiyah.
At least 969 Iraqi have been killed in war-related violence this year and at least 986 have been wounded, according to an Associated Press count.
However, large-scale attacks against civilians have declined in recent weeks amid widespread public criticism, including from Sunnis clerics and others sympathetic to the Sunni-dominated insurgency.
Some Sunni insurgent groups are believed to be holding back to give Sunni Arab politicians a chance to negotiate concessions from Shiites and Kurds during talks on a new government.
U. S. officials believe a government capable of winning the trust of all communities is essential so the United States can hand over more security responsibility to the Iraqis and begin sending the 138,000 American troops home this year.
On Tuesday, Mohammed al-Askari, a Defense Ministry spokesman, confirmed that Iraqi soldiers had detained 18 policemen who had seized two men for unknown reasons.
Al-Askari added that one of the men who were held captive by the 18 was a police officer from the mostly Shiite southern city of Kut.
The Interior Ministry has denied running or sanctioning death squads. On Thursday, however, the ministry announced an investigation into alleged death squads after U.S. military officials announced the arrest last month of 22 policemen who were about to kill a Sunni Arab north of Baghdad.
Also Tuesday, British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw lent his voice to international calls for a broad-based government.
"It is a crucial moment today for the people of Iraq," Straw told reporters after meeting President Jalal Talabani. "The international community, particularly those of us who played a part in liberating Iraq, obviously have an interest in a prosperous and stable and democratic Iraq."
Straw's comments followed a blunt warning Monday by U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khailizad that Iraqi risk losing international support if key ministries end up in the hands of politicians with ties to militias.
"We are not going to invest the resources of the American people and build forces that are run by people who are sectarian" and tied to the militias, Khalilzad said.
A coalition of Shiite Muslim religious parties won 130 of the 275 seats in the new parliament, and Shiite leaders insist their strong showing in the election gives them the right to control key ministries.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) *****
Take the high road. Seek out facts and information. Misunderstandings occur out of the blue. Refuse to take anything personally. Know when to put a halt to messy situations. See yourself as a troubleshooter.
HOROSCOPES
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) **★* Your support systems touch you on a deep level, encourage greater involvement in your work and community. Nevertheless, you could misunderstand someone and misinterpret what is important to him or her.
Micheal Peng/KANSAN
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) **** Many people have a distinctive style and way -- you included. Sometimes your unique style might drive others away. Others will make the effort to reverse their processing and understand where you are coming from.
LANCER (June 21-July 22) *** Easy
does it. You like what is going on
because of your ability to relate on a
deeper level. Listen well to someone
who cares about you. Encourage new
ideas by changing your setting.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2006
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ***** Listen to what a child or loved one presents, even though it might be hard not to get confused or you don't want to hear every detail. Perhaps you see others very differently than they are. Is it time to revise your thinking?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ****You might be like, as one might say, a cat chasing its tail. You have what it takes and will do whatever you need to do to get there, but perhaps today is not the best day to pursue this course. New beginnings are possible, but not at this very second.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ***** You say what you want and do what you need to do, though the support you might like will not be there. Listen well, and you'll come up with new ideas and suggestions. Brainstorming sessions might be confusing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) *****
Your ability to jump through hoops could come into play right now.
You could easily run into a problem because others simply aren't getting it. Stay centered, knowing what your priorities are. Obviously, not everyone sees life from your point of view.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
******* You're thick into your "stuff"
knowing what it is you want to do. You
could get flak from a family member.
Though you certainly are on a roll, you
need to be sensitive to where there
might be some disruption.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ***** How you handle a personal matter and what you do with information needs to be well thought out. Put on your thinking cap today, but be ready to take action tomorrow. Not everything you hear is factual.
AUDIARIS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ****** You zero in on what you want. Finding the right answers happens through confusion, brainstorming and listening to other opinions. Though every detail might not be precise, you do have a game plan.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ Take a step toward what you want. Listen well to what is going on with a boss or parent. You could easily misconstruse others' words. Be a better listener. You have your own mental filter turned on.

OUR OPINION
Chancellor deserves praise for increase
Chancellor Hemenway, you've done it again, old boy. So how'd you do it? What's your secret for changing the University of Kansas from a safety school into a top pick for students who actually did their homework in high school?
We're talking about the University's ranking as 12th among public universities for the number of 2005 freshman National Merit Scholars, up four notches since last year, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. Not only that, but the University also ranks 29th among all universities and third in the Big 12.
We know this was your Everest, or at least, perhaps, Kilimanjaro. Ever since you arrived at the University in 1995, you've been angling for these affable geeks to flock to Mt. Oread in droves. And by gum if you didn't manage to wrangle in 116 scholars by 2000, thanks to your Daddy-Warbuck-style scholarships that covered 15 hours of credit and board in a scholarship hall for both in-state and out-of-state geniuses. At that point the University had cracked the top 10 for public universities, enrolling the scholars for three consecutive years.
Then times got tough and your generous scholarships had to go off the table - for out-of-state students at least. In 2003 you stopped offering full rides to nonresident scholars. From then
Issue: The University's National Merit numbers
Stance: Well done, Chancellor; you've improved our standing.
on you have given the non-Kansans packages only worth about $10,000 a year, which is $4,000 less than in previous years.
Immediately this resulted in a dramatic drop in out-of-state scholars. But, like the boyfriend who has recently cheated on his girlfriend — a girlfriend with low self-esteem — you knew they would come back eventually. Oh how you were right.
The kids just couldn't stay away from the temptation to walk up steep hills and reside in the same state as Fred Phelps. Now the University has been restored to its full scholastic glory with 71 freshman Merit Scholars here this year, 55 of which are sponsored by the University.
Sure our National Merit ranking might not beat our ranking as a top 10 party school, according to Playboy, but it's good enough for us. Thanks again for coming to the University all you National Merit Scholars. Don't forget your duty to help the rest of us with our homework.

Spencer museum worth another look
Tucked neatly into the hillside between the Campanile and the Kansas Union lies the jewel of the University of Kansas. The Spencer Museum of Art
far exceeds the criteria for your average gem on its surface alone, easily surpassing those lesser criteria for an average art museum.
SCOTT SHORTEN
opinion@kansan.com
On approach to the museum, a grove of carefully placed pines and lanterms in the trees greet you as mysterious chords of delicate music float down to your ears from outdoor speakers. As you pass the flying dragons guarding the entrance, you begin to notice that things feel much more alive than you might generally expect from a museum.
I spoke with Bill Woodard, museum spokesman, about how the museum is able to create and maintain such a feeling of vitality and vibrancy when other museums may have a tendency to grow stale. Woodard said since Saralyn Reece Hardy took the reigns as museum director last March, the impetus toward collaboration, originality and innovation all over the campus have become hallmarks of the Spencer's objectives.
Prime examples of this were Steve Keene's time as resident artist at both the museum and in the Union, with the Indigo Project done by some KU students in the Art and Design Department and with works commissioned last fall in the museum's Central Court
by two of the University's own faculty members. Furthermore, the Spencer Museum of Art's Student Advisory Board, an all-discipline student organization
that seeks to promote students' artistic experiences while at the University, helps to ensure that the museum remains a place where all students can feel welcome to enjoy the many categories of art the Spencer has to offer.
"We're excited about what's happening here and we want students to share that excitement with us," Woodard said. "The hope is for students to look at the Spencer Museum of Art as a place that is truly theirs."
We have an amazing treasure here on our campus, but, this museum will never reveal its fullest potential to you unless you go and experience some of what it has to offer.
As one of the top-10 university art museums in the United States, there is no reason not to drop in every once in a while just to see what changes have taken place since the last time you were there. Or, if you're so inclined, take a more active role as an SMA Student Advisory Board member, work as an always-needed volunteer or just check out the myriad assortment of programs available to you.

Global warming not likely to disappear
COMMENTARY
The United States' government needs to make big changes. Global warming, once regarded by many as a natural phenomenon or even an exaggeration, is being shown time and again by scientists to be a serious problem.
It's true that the planet Earth naturally goes through cycles of warm and cold. But the planet hasn't been this warm in 120,000 years. The year 1998 was the warmest in more than 100 years. Warmer temperatures might seem appealing during February in Kansas, but the negative effects of global warming are becoming clearer - and more alarming.
In a study published in a recent issue of Science magazine, a group of KU researchers teamed up with NASA and discovered that Greenland's ice caps were melting twice as fast as they were a decade ago. According to a Lawrence Journal-World article,
BENETTA GRANT
BECCA EVANHOE
nvision@hansan.com
if all of Greenland were to melt, it would raise the sea level 23 feet. Sixty percent of the world's population lives in coastal areas, and a dramatic rise in sea level would alter the lives of those living along thousands of miles of coastline.
Another recent study, published in the March edition of Scientific American, showed that the ocean has absorbed about one-third of the carbon dioxide released in the last 150 years of industrialization. When the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide, it becomes more acidic, and this acidity seems to harm the living creatures of coral reefs.
Alarm bells are going off, but what can the government do? The problem is complex, and seems nearly impossible to stop. Obviously, we can't halt the use of cars and factories. But we can reduce our emissions through government-issued regulations.
The Pew Center on Global Climate Change stresses the importance of starting now to reduce emissions. The center suggests changing industry, manufacturing and transportation; putting more research into renewable energy; reducing energy use and preparing to deal with the inevitable consequences of a warmer climate. As written in its February 2006 Agenda for Climate Action, "Further delay will only make the challenge before us more daunting and costly."

George W. Bush cares about your education, and the education of future generations. Being quite the scholar himself, the president has gone to great lengths to ensure the successful academic future of America by instating the No Child Left Behind act, which set a standard for all public schools in order to give children from all backgrounds the same guarantee at an equal education. He's also set about reforming the federal budget for education, ensuring a more effective use of the taxpayers' hard-earned money.
BETSY McLEOD
opinion@kansan.com
In reality, our education program is falling to pieces. Harvard University took an in-depth look at how the NCLB act has affected American schools, and proclaimed that the act benefits white middle-class children more than other groups.
Good job, Mr. President. I think your country feels smarter already. But what about the $3.2 million cut in education funding? Next year, the U.S. Department of Education would receive $54.4 billion if lawmakers back the cuts. The President insists that the cuts are necessary in order to reduce the national deficit, which had ballooned to $412.6 billion in 2004. Sure, $54.4 billion sounds like a lot of money, until you compare it with the $455.5 billion budget for national defense.
Under the act, schools are required to show annual improvement in standardized math and English tests. It sets a bar, and schools whose overall test scores fail to meet that bar are sanctioned and sometimes closed. But according to a report by CNN, "instead of uniform standards, the policy has allowed various states to negotiate treaties and bargains to reduce the number of schools and districts identified as failing."
But when the president was questioned about this funding cut when he spoke at Kansas State University, he seemed flabbergasted, and after asking the student to repeat the question three times, said, "we're not taking people off of student loans, we're saving money in the student loan program because its inefficient." You're right, George, the student loan programs are inefficient, just ask any college student that will spend the next fifty years paying off four years of college. The president closed the question with, "I think I'm right on this. I'll check when I get back to Washington." I wonder if he ever got back to that student with the right answer.
So don't worry, fellow colleagues, George W. Bush cares about your education, but just to be safe, maybe you should drop out quick and join the military.

Date Doctor to assist hopeless romantics
BY DEJUAN ATWAY
datway@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Was Valentine's Day a complete disaster? Did it not go the way you and your significant other envisioned? Did it start with pessimism or finish in disappointment?
Perhaps an appointment with David Coleman, The Dating Doctor, is in order.
Coleman will give a lecture, titled "Making Relationships Matter," at 7:30 p.m. at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Student Union Activities is sponsoring Coleman's appearance, which is free to the public.
"His programs are very interactive with the audience; he is very funny and doesn't talk down to people like Dr. Phil," said jenny Kratz, social events
coordinator for SUA. "The movie 'Hitch' is loosely 'based about him.'"
Coleman obtained his bachelor's degree in speech pathology and audiology from Bowling Green State University in 1983.
He has written four books, on topics ranging from leadership qualities and facts freshmen should know to maintaining romantic relationships.
In addition, Campus Activities Magazine has named Coleman the national speaker of the year six times.
Carol Kennedy, director of health education and counseling at the Lafene Health Center at Kansas State University, said she and several other members of the Lafene staff had heard Coleman speak before.
She said she recommended
that Coleman be added as a guest speaker at the University
"He offers sound advice and is very entertaining." she said. "We thought it would be a great educational opportunity for K-State students to hear his message about building relationships."
Although this will be Coleman's first lecture at the University of Kansas, he has given numerous speeches at colleges and conferences around the country.
He's made regular appearances on radio stations and newspapers have written dozens of articles about his romantic philosophies.

Roommates
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Sheryle Gallant, associate professor of psychology, said living with the opposite sex worked if the personalities work well together. She said because it's economically advantageous to have a roommate, students should exercise a degree of tolerance, assuming that they won't be living together forever.
The romantic relationships of mixed-sex roommates also can pose problems. Black's roommate had a girlfriend who wasn't fond of him living with another girl. She said that after the two broke up, he told Black that his girlfriend
had been too intimidated to come over.

The doctors had been brought in by a federal judge after Morales' attorneys argued that the three-part lethal injection process violates the Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. The attorneys said a prisoner could feel excruciating pain from the last two chemicals if he were not fully sedated.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
Doctors refuse to excute inmate
U. S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel gave prison officials a choice last week: bring in doctors to ensure Morales was properly anesthetized, or skip the usual paralyzing and heart-stopping
"Any such intervention would clearly be medically unethical," the doctors, whose identities were not released, said in a statement. "As a result, we have withdrawn from participation in this current process."

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN QUENTIN, Calif. — The execution of a convicted killer was postponed early Tuesday after two anesthesiologists refused for ethical reasons to take part, renewing the long-running debate over what role doctors may play in the death chamber.
Michael Morales, 46, was supposed to die by lethal injection at 12:01 a.m. But the execution was put off until at least Tuesday night after the anesthesiologists objected that they might have to advise the executioner if the inmate woke up or appeared to suffer pain.
drugs and execute him with an overdose of a sedative.
The judge's ruling renewed an ethical debate that has persisted for many years about the proper role of doctors in executions and the suitability of the lethal injection method
Prison officials planned to press forward with the execution Tuesday night using the second option.

Morales stood to become the 14th murderer put to death since California reinstated the capital punishment in 1977. He was condemned in 1983 for killing 17-year-old Terri Winchell, who was attacked with a hammer, stabbed and left to die half-naked in a vineyard.
Any such intervention would clearly be medically unethical."
Morales had plotted the killing with a gay cousin who was jealous of Winchell's relationship with another man. The cousin was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Statement by unidentified doctors
esthesiologists and the California Medical Association all opposed the anesthesiologists' participation as unethical and unprofessional.
The anesthesiologists ultimately withdrew after the judge wrote that they might have to demand that the executioner administer more sedatives through a separate intravenous line to make sure the prisoner is unconscious.
The anesthesiologists would have joined another doctor who is on duty at all California executions to declare the prisoner dead and ensure proper medical procedures are followed.
The U.S. Supreme Court has never directly addressed the constitutionality of lethal injection or whether it causes inmates excessive pain.
The 24-hour death warrant
for Morales was set to expire at 11:59 p.m. Tuesday. After that, state officials would have to go back to the trial judge who imposed the death sentence in 1983 for another warrant.
However, the judge, Charles McGrath, joined Morales this month in asking Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for clemency. McGrath said he no longer believed a jailhouse informant whose testimony helped land Morales on death row.
Nevertheless, Nathan Barankin, a spokesman for California's attorney general, said the judge was bound by law to sign a new death warrant, if one was requested.
When Morales was told of the delay, he was "nonchalant," according to prison spokesman Vernell Crittendon.

Top seed rank not crucial for March victories
MATT WILSON
MWILSON@KANSAN.COM
MARVIN BLANK
I must confess: I didn't see this coming.
Kansas' victory over Baylor Tuesday has cleared the way for a made-for-primeTime match-up with Texas this weekend, assuming the Longhorns take care of business against the Kansas State Wildcats tonight. Who would have thought the two teams would be tied in the Big 12 standings at this point in the season after the Jayhawks' sluggish start?
Actually, quite a few people did. I caught some heat after a previous column in which I said nobody would challenge the Longhorns for the league title. I'm sure a lot of you reading this today claim you knew it would happen all along, too. (Yeah, right.)
It seemed to me that Texas was in a class by itself, but Kansas has come together and closed the gap in the past month. The Jayhawks have won 10 games in a row, their longest streak since last year's 14-game streak to start the season. They now have the potential to beat any team in the country on any given day, in stark contrast to the beginning of the season when they had potential to be beaten by anyone.
Will Kansas win in Austin Saturday? It would be peachy if they did, but it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if they didn't.
The victor will most likely earn the No.1 seed in the Big 12 Tournament, but that isn't necessarily a good thing. Only four of the nine previous conference tournaments were won by the top seed. Plus, judging by the way the season has played out so far, the two teams will probably meet in the championship game anyway, thus rendering the top spot insignificant.
On top of that, winning the conference tournament isn't very important. Of the past 10 national champions, only four teams out of nine won its conference tournament (there was no Pac-12 Tournament in 1997 when Arizona won the NCAA title). In 2002 and 2003, Kansas reached the Final Four without winning the league tournament.
A loss in late February to an excellent Texas team wouldn't be all bad. It might just refocus Kansas in time for a deep run in March, maybe into April if all goes well. If that happens, the Jayhawks may see the Longhorns yet again in Indianapolis at the Final Four.
If you had to choose, which game would you rather see Kansas win?

Kansas coach Bill Self said,
at a local McDonald's drive-through, according to a police report.
Hawkins got his food and attempted to leave the parking lot, but was stopped by an officer, according to the report.
Hawkins told the officer that he "was unaware" he had struck the woman's vehicle. Lawrence Police Department spokesman Kim Murphree said the officer who stopped Hawkins had no reason to suspect he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
"I'm not necessarily upset with Jeff because he got in a fender bender in a parking lot. I'm upset with Jeff because he didn't handle it a very mature manner." Self said. "I think he could have handled it better and not worried so much about getting his food."

The accident occurred around 2 a.m. Sunday at 1309 W. Sixth St., in the McDonald's drive-through lane. The Lawrence woman whose vehicle was struck by Hawkins' 2000 Buick told police she was attempting to pull up to the drive-through speaker when Hawkins pulled in front of her, striking the passenger side of her 2002 Kia.
Self said he found about the incident on Sunday, but didn't want to talk about it until he decided what he was going to do with Hawkins for the Baylor game. He said he told Hawkins Tuesday morning that he would not play in the game.

'Hawks have high hopes
Kansas Jayhawks (15- 9, 4- 9 Big 12 Conference)
Last time out
The Jayhawks got their first road victory of the season by beating Iowa State 57-56 in overtime. The game started slowly, with each team shooting less than 20 percent from the field, but picked up toward the end. The lead was exchanged through the final minutes and into overtime. After the game, coach Bonnie Henrickson announced that the team was no longer kicked out of the locker room — a punishment she had levied against them earlier in the season.
Junior guard Sharita Smith has played brilliant defense in her last two outings. She shut down Nebraska's kiera Hardy a week ago and Iowa State's Lyndsey Meddens on Saturday. It will be important for Smith to function as part of the offensive unit tonight. Opposing defenders often back off when she has the ball, daring her to shoot.
Player to watch
Season in review
With three games to play, Kansas is sitting on a 4-9 record in Big 12 Conference play. While this eliminates the Jayhawks from the NCAA tournament, the postseason is still very much an option. Kansas is being looked at by the WNIT. Beating Texas Tech in front of a hostile road crowd would go a long way toward securing Kansas' selection.
Key to victory
Michael Phillips
When Smith enters the game, freshman guard Ivana Catic heads to the bench, leaving the team without a true point guard. Senior guard Erica Hallam fills in at the position, but the Jayhawks run a play where Smith brings the ball down and makes a series of passes designed to get an open shot for Hallam or senior guard Kaylee Brown. If Texas Tech can't adjust to the strategy, look for Hallam to have a big night.
Texas Tech Red Raiders (12-12, 7-6 Big 12 Conference)
Last time out
Forwards not named Davis. Davis will receive the majority of Kansas' defensive attention and will force Texas Tech's other post players to step up.
Texas Tech dropped to 500 on the season after its loss 73-60 at Baylor on Sunday. The Red Raiders tied the game at 52 with 11 minutes remaining, but a 12-4 run by the Bears put the game out of reach. Tech's LaToya Davis led the team with 23 points and 10 rebounds. The Red Raider's senior forward/center is third in the Big 12 Conference in scoring, averaging 18 points a game.
Player to watch
Season in review
Texas Tech has been one of the league's most disappointing teams.The team will need to
win the Big 12 Conference Tournament to continue its streak of 16 straight NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament appearances. The Red Raiders have lost two straight coming into tonight's game.
Key to victory
Kansas and Texas Tech are both battling for a spot in the Woman's National Invitational Tournament. The marquee match up of the night will feature Davis against Kansas' Crystal Kemp in the paint. If either player gets in foul trouble early, the attention will shift to the bench. They key to stopping Kansas will be guarding the three, as Texas Tech leads the conference in three-point basket percentage.

Brandon Maples had the Dank Nuggets in control of Monday night's intramural basketball game. The Overland Park junior scored 20 points in the game, and his team found itself ahead of the Big N Tastys 55-51 with 3:25 left.
That was until Jonathan Cool.
Cooley made two three-point shots in the final 30 seconds, leading the Big N Tastys to a 61-59 victory. Both times, the ball didn't even touch the rim. Cooley hit the second of his three-pointers from nearly half court.
ey, Overland park senior, had anything to say about it.
"I was just feeling good and in transition where I knew I could hit it." Coolev said.
The Dank Nuggets initially appeared to be the superior team
on the court because of Maples play.
Maples orchestrated the Dank Nuggets' attack. He played hard defense and made remarkable passes to help his team's point total.
"I try to be a leader on the floor and be vocal,but the whole team is what makes the plays," Maples said.
The Big N Tastys relied on team chemistry to carry them to victory.
Cooley proved that this method paid off. He scored 22 points in the victory.

Cooley said the Big N Tasties have made it a habit to play together at least twice a week, outside of their official games.
The Big N Tastys' camaraderie was evident. Cooley, Scott Self, Topeka senior and Ben Lancaster, Lawrence senior, ran an effective offense and communicated well.

When Kansas gets home from Nashville, Tenn., this weekend, the team will have traveled more than 14,000 miles in non-conference mad trips.
The Jayhawks spent the past
Price, one of three team captains, said he hated flying and was more than happy about this weekend's short flight and the home series that will come next weekend. Although this is the third consecutive season Kansas has spent the cold-weather days of the preseason in sunny states, this year has been different because of the little time the lavhawks have spent at home.
Of the 21 non-conference games coach Ritch Price scheduled to come prior to the Big 12 portion of the season, only four will be played at Hoglund Ballpark. Those don't even begin for another week and a half.
It's time for a home game.
Price said those highly-ranked opponents didn't come to Lawrence, citing weather and the lack of an airport as reasons. That has added to the difficulty of the Jayhawks early-season slate.
"We're all pretty excited to come home, sleep in our beds," senior shortstop Ritchie Price said. "Plus I think it makes it hard for some of our guys during the week."
three weeks on the West Coast and posted a 7-4 record in games in California and Hawaii.
Beside the cold temperatures last weekend, Lawrence's weather has been impeccable for baseball. In fact, the team has not spent a single day inside since practice started in January.
Coach Ritch Price said tha
being outside for the length of the preseason was incredibly rare in Kansas, and he remembered last year when his club didn't practice outside for more than a handful of days.
"The home team wins 66 percent of its games," Price said, acknowledging how tough it was to go on the road to face nationally-ranked, warm-weather opponents.
In the 2005 campaign, Kansas played 28 pre-conference games. 15 of which were at home.
In the meantime, Kansas will continue moonlighting as a warm-weather team, working in atypical 50- and 60-degree temperatures before the home opener against Western Illinois next weekend.
This year's road trips, however, had a huge hand in the Jayhawks' RPI ranking jumping to 26th after their season-opening trips. That success could play a big role in gaining an NCAA Tournament bid at the end of the season. Of the 10 teams that Kansas faces this preseason, four are nationally ranked.

Austrians change tune about inquiry
Peter Schroeksnadel, the President of the Austrian Ski Federation, left, and Markus Gandler, chief of the Austrian Cross Country skiing team, pause during a press conference at the Austria House in Sestrione, Italy, Tuesday. Austrian officials held a press conference Tuesday after Italian investigators paid a return visit to the Austrian ski team targeted in anti-doping raids at the Winter Olympics, prompting the head of the nation's ski federation to angrily call for authorities to produce evidence to justify the continuing scrutiny.

Team switches focus of anger from investigators to coach
BY ARIEL DAVID
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURIN, Italy — Faced with mounting evidence that a disgraced ski coach may have brought a major doping scandal upon them, Austrian officials softened their indignation over surprise raids on athletes' quarters Tuesday — and showed signs of accepting that something could be wrong.
More clouds gathered as the day wore on:
Two athletes confessed to a team official that they "may have used illegal methods" at the Turin Games. It was revealed that evidence seized in a surprise sweep over the weekend included about 100 syringes, unlabeled drugs and a blood transfusion machine.
And when investigators went to the living quarters of banned Austrian ski coach Walter Mayer — whose presence at the Olympics triggered an unprecedented investigation — even more syringes were found.
An Italian prosecutor found the additional evidence Monday night when he inspected the private home that Mayer had rented for the Olympics in the mountain hamlet of Pragelato, said Mario Pescante, IOC member and government supervisor for the games.
On Tuesday morning, Austrian ski federation president Peter Schroecskadelw was incensed by the scrutiny from the World Anti-Doping Agency, the International Olympic Committee and the Carbinieri paramilitary police, saying the investigation was "no longer about sport, it's just about rumors."
By evening, Schroecksnadel offered that it was "a mistake" to ever have allowed Mayer at the Turin Games.
He also said two athletes who bolted the games after the raids had confessed to a team official that they "may have used illegal methods."
Wolfgang Perner and Wolfgang Rottmann, since kicked off the team for leaving the games early, made the statement to the team's sports director, Markus Gandler, Schroecksnadel said at a press conference in the Alpine
village of Sestriere.
Schroecksnadel would not elaborate on the athletes' comments, but said the federation was setting up a commission to investigate.
In a series of raids conducted late Saturday on team housing in Pragelato and nearby San Sicario, police seized about 100 syringes, unlabeled medicine bottles, boxes of prescription drugs and a blood-transfusion machine, a person with direct knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The source asked not to be identified because the investigation was ongoing.
Blood doping transfusions can be used to oxygenate the blood before competition, which increases endurance. The source said, however, that no blood was found along with the device. Prescription drugs seized in the raid carried warning labels saying they contained banned substances, but the source said at least some members of the team had prescriptions for those.
The seized materials were still being analyzed by Italian authorities, but no test results were announced as of Tuesday.
Six skiers and four biathletes were also taken for drug screens by the IOC as a part of the raid, and the IOC had not yet announced results of those tests.
Five-time Olympian Ludwig Gredler, a member of Austria's biathlon team, said the team has no choice but submit to the searches.
"These are the laws of Italy and we have to follow them," he said. "Team Austria is a small group and we live in close proximity to each other but naturally I can't know what happens in other rooms. I know I'm clean and have taken nothing, but I can't speak for my teammates."
Mayer, banned from the Olympics for links to blood doping in 2002 in Salt Lake City, fled the Turin area and headed for Austria sometime after the Saturday raids. He resurfaced the next night, when he crashed his car into a police blockade just 15 miles inside his native country's border with Italy, some 250 miles from Turin.
Schroecksnadel said police
took him to a psychiatric facility, where he was staying because it was feared he might commit suicide. Mayer appeared Tuesday in an Austrian court, where he pleaded guilty to charges of civil disorder, assault and damage to property.
Though Mayer had been in Italy coaching the team in a private capacity, IOC medical commission chief Arne Ljungvig said his presence — while not breaking any rules — had violated the "spirit" of his Olympic ban.
The investigation was touched off when World Anti-Doping Agency officers learned that Mayer was with the Austrian team at the Olympics. WADA told the IOC of Mayer's presence, which in turn tipped off Italian police.
Saturday's raids, the first ever by police on athletes at the Olympics, came against the backdrop of the most stringent drug controls in Winter Games history. Only one athlete, Russian biathlon star Olga Pyleva, has been thrown out of the games for doping so far.
Mayer was banned from the Turin Games and the 2010 Games in Vancouver after blood transfusion materials were found at the Salt Lake City Games. The Austrians claimed it was used for ultraviolet radiation treatment
of blood to treat and prevent colds and flu.
Since Saturday's raids, the shaken Austrian team has rallied to win six medals — four of them gold.

"We look forward to working with Bank of America to develop at-track marketing programs to effectively complement their overall motorsports platform," said ISC President Lesa France Kennedy.
In return for its financial support, Bank of America wins the right to place advertisements and ATMs at each of the four tracks a. well as entertainment space and other promotional rights.

Baylor coach gives camper sweaty souvenir
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
rschneider@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SWISSPORTWRIER
While camping Sunday night in Allen Fieldhouse for the men's basketball game against Baylor, Katie Marten, Wichita sophomore, had an unexpected visitor.
As Baylor finished practicing late Sunday night, assistant coach Matthew Driscoll spotted the list of campers hanging on a door and began look at the variety of group names. One name in particular caught his attention — "Baylor still sucks."
When he shouted out the name to find its camper, Marten got nervous.
"At first he scared me." Marten said. "His voice was very loud."
Driscoll called the name out several times, but got no response from campers.
Because she was reluctant to admit that it was her group's name, Marten quickly pulled down the sign with her group's name and covered it up. Driscoll velled the name again and there was still silence.
"He said. If you're man enough to make the name, be man enough to admit it." Marten said.
Finally, after a few yells of her group's name, Marten timidly raised her hand and immediately drew Driscoll's attention.
Marten said she immediately blurted out that she didn't hate Baylor and didn't come up with her group's name.
Driscoll just smiled.
"He was so nice," Marten said. "He was just laughing and smiling the whole time."
After the quick meeting, Driscoll disappeared back onto the court with his team, which was practicing at the time. He reemerged, but this time clutching a sweaty, black oversized Baylor T-shirt. Marten said he threw her the T-shirt, obviously fresh off the back of a Baylor player and ikingly told her to wear it to the game.
Driscoll brought other Baylor coaches out and spent time looking at the list of camping groups hanging on a door at the north end of the fieldhouse.
"They were laughing at all the group names," Dustin Groud, Milbank, S.D., freshman, said. "They really laughed at the one with the Micah Downs' name." Grorud, who was camping with his group, "Riptide Rush," said it was unusual to see opposing coaches visiting with campers. He said Driscoll had even joked with campers, saying they should come to Baylor, where they could walk up at tip-off and get good seats.

"We have got to focus a lot more this week to get those little things out of the way. Just rebound, just do the little things because we are going to have to do every single thing just to get a good win against Texas." Giles said.
Kansas is 5-1 on the road this season, but the game will certainly have a postseason feel.
"This will be out young guys' first time playing in this kind of atmosphere," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "They need to go down there with poise and have the mindset that we have a job to do."
Kansas nearly overlooked Baylor last night, and Self attributed the sluggish play to playing them between Missouri and Texas.
"I think we did a pretty good job," freshman guard Brandon Rush said. "It was kind of shaky though. The offense wasn't flowing right."
The Jayhawks got great production from their front court, especially from Wright, who scored a career-high 20 points in just 22 minutes.
"The big thing for us was to just run the floor and try to get easy baskets," Wright said. "I credit Russell because he was really aggressive today trying to get to the basket."
Robinson finished with nine assists after finding Wright on many possessions.
Wright came up with acrobatic plays all night.
Whether it was a tip-in off a Kansas miss or a sky-
high dunk off a feed from fellow freshman Mario Chalmers, Wright made it look easy, missing just one shot.
Sophomore center CJ Giles was active during his 17 minutes and dropped in 10 points. It was his first game in double figures since a January match up with Kentucky.
With the conference title possibly on the line Saturday, Baylor coach Scott Drew had a clear answer as to whether he thought Kansas was the best team in the conference.
"Most definitely," Drew said.
For the Jayhawks and Longhorns, time will tell.
Baylor tried to slow down the pace of the game by running a motion offense and was successful in limiting Kansas possessions.
Neither team was able to get into any offensive rhythm. Every time Kansas built a lead of 20 or more, Baylor would respond and cut it. The crowd had little impact on the game.
"This is the worst outing that we've had from an energy stand-point in quite some time," Self said.
Kansas broke the game open in the middle of the first half, building an 18-point lead, but Baylor was able to get back into the game off Jayhawk turnovers and a 10-0 Bears run that cut the lead to eight at halftime.

"When I found out, I didn't have any details," Self said. "I had not had any contact with the police department because of missed phone calls. I still haven't seen a report. Jeff told me there was incident, obviously. He didn't have a choice to admit what he did was wrong, it was pretty evident he did it."
This is not the first time Hawkins has been in the middle of a off-the-court incident. Hawkins reached a diversion agreement with the Lawrence city prosecutor's office in October 2005 after he was charged with using a stolen University parking pass.
Self said he did not expect this incident to affect Hawkins' diversion.
Sophomore guard Jeremy Case saw more minutes Tuesday night because of Hawkins' absence. Case played 15 minutes in the game. After the game he said he was aware he would play more minutes when he found out about Hawkins' incident.
"It hurt the team because we need him out there." Case said. "I feel sorry for him. I hate that he has to

go through this his senior year. After coach told me, I knew I had to get ready to play more."
Self did stress, when talking to the media, that he expected this to be a one-game suspension, and said Hawkins would still contribute down the stretch.
"I would imagine he would play." Self said. "I'll put some stipulations on it. I don't need to see the report. All I know is he embarrassed himself and the program."
Hawkins did not talk to the press after the game.

Sophomore center Sasha Kaun temporarily wore No. 51 after he got blood on his jersey, Kaun later got a new No.24 jersey.
Freshman forward Julian Wright's 10-of-11 shooting from the field was the best percentage by a Kansas player in a conference game with at least 10 attempts since Mark Randall was 11-of-12 against Oklahoma State in 1989.

The victory extended the Jayhawks' season-long winning streak to 10 games.
Cheers and jeers from the stands
Best sign: "Hey UDK ... I'm not old
I'm a non-traditional student."
It's nice to know someone is read-
ing these stories.
Most annoying fan: Girl in section C, row 2 (northeast corner). She repeatedly called Baylor forward Tommy Swanson "the Cyclops". Swanson played with tape over one eye. At one point she said, "You've got to be loud and vocal like me."
Best gear. The homemade Mario Chalmers shirts. One shirt had a picture of Super Mario (from Super Mario Brothers) on the front, with "Super Mario" written on the back with a number 15. The other shirt featured the Princess on the front with "Save us, Mario" written underneath and their Chalmers with a number 15 on the back
Worst year. Kansas City Star columnist Jason Whitlock wore his trademark stocking cap indoors. Whitlock last visited the fieldhouse for the Kansas State game.
Honorable mention The guy in the white bear costume. He did have a sign to compliment his gear, but
the sign looked like a 4-year-old made it, and it just wasn't funn
Cheers to freshman forward Julian Wright. Wright's highlight alley-oop dunk at the 18:10 mark in the second half was SportsCenter's No.9 play. Wright scored a career-high 70 points on 10-of-11 shooting.
Cheers to the big men off the bench. Sophomore center CJ Giles and sophomore forward Darnell Jackson combined for 21 points. Giles provided the blocks - he had three - and Jackson provided the knockdowns - he put several Bears on the floor.
Jeers to anyone who decided this game was unworthy to attend. The official box score said 16,300 attended Tuesday's game, which is doubtful. Whether it was a hangover from the victory over Missouri on Saturday or the fact that the lowly Baylor Bears were in town, there were too many empty seats at the fieldhouse

Rivals bitter about handshake

Silver medalist United States Shani Davis, from Chicago, Ill., left, gold medalist Italy's Enrico Fabris, center, and bronze medalist United States Chad Hadrick, from Salt Lake City, Ut., wave to spectators during a flower ceremony of the Winter Olympics men's 1,500 meter speedskating competition at the Oval Lingotto in Turin, Italy, Tuesday.

BY PAUL NEWBERRY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURIN, Italy — Shani Davis got the best of Chad Hedrick, though it wasn't good enough for gold. Then they both took the Olympics' hottest rivalry to a whole new level.
These guys really don't like each other.
That much they could shake on.
While Italy's Enrico Fabris was becoming an Olympic hero in his home country, upsetting the Davis-Hedrick showdown with a victory Tuesday in the 1,500 meters, the most compelling storyline was the two American favorites who settled for silver and bronze.
Davis, the runner-up, and Hedrick, a disappointing third, were forced to spend an uncomfortable half-hour in a brightly lit room that might as well have been the scene of an interrogation.
Finally, the truth came out.
Finally, the third Davis was still mad that Hedrick didn't shake his hand after Davis' victory Saturday in the 1,000. This time, Hedrick did shake hands and offrick his congratulations, but that clearly was too late to soothe Davis' feelings.
"I'll be honest with you," said Davis, the first black athlete
ever to win an individual gold medal in the Winter Olympics. "Sure, Chad and I are fighting for the same thing. But it would have been kind of nice after I won the 1,000 if he would have been a good teammate and shook my hand."
A response. Chad?
With that, Davis jumped out of his seat and stormed from the room, mumbling on his way through the door, "Shakes my hand when I lose. Typical Chad."
Now sitting alone at the podium, Hedrick didn't back down. He flipped on his microphone and said he was upset that Davis wouldn't take part in the team pursuit last week because he wanted to focus on his individual races.
A Hedrick-led trio was upset by the Italians in the quarterfinals, doomed by a slower skater who probably wouldn't have been on the ice if Davis had been available.
"We're all part of Team USA," Hedrick said. "We had a great opportunity to win the team pursuit. I felt betrayed in a way. Not only did he not participate, he wouldn't even discuss it with me as a leader of the team. I thought we passed up a medal."
OLYMPICS
Hedrick said he wasn't mad because the loss cost him a chance to win five gold medals.
Bittersweet opening round for arials
BY EDDIE PELLS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAUZE D'OULX, Italy — Two inspiring comeback stories reached their crossroads on a foggy night in the Italian Alps.
American Emily Cook's came to a bittersweet end.
Aussie Jacqui Cooper's resulted in an improbable world record.
Cook capped her four-year comeback from devastating foot injuries with a less-than-memorable landing on the Olympic aerials course Tuesday, one that eliminated her from the finals and from contention for the medal that would have made her tale that much sweeter.
She smiled when it was over — probably to hold back the tears.
"I will not, in any way, let a little tumble ruin this experience," she insisted, "No way."
And Cooper? At 33, she now looks like a possible Olympic champion instead of someone simply happy to be here. She was among the world's best for much of the end of last decade and the start of this, but has no Olympic medal to show for it.
"I waited eight years for this moment," Cooper said. "Every day, I've dreamed about it, thought about it."
During qualifying eight years ago in the Nagano Games, she crashed and endured leg and head injuries. And in training four years ago at the Salt Lake City Games, she tore up her knee.
Barring something drastic, she'll be in the finals this time after a qualifying score of 213.36, a mark that bettered the old record, set three years ago by Aussie teammate Alisa Camplin, by more than 6 points.
Cooper won qualifying by nearly 10 points over Guo Xinxin of China by nailing a triple backflip with three full twists for the first time in four years. It was the toughest trick of the night, performed by herself and Guo.
"That was probably a great moment for me," Cooper said. "That was a massive confidence booster."
While Cooper will get an encore Wednesday night, Cook will only get to sit in the stands and watch.
Both she and teammate Jana Lindsey failed to qualify, continuing a disappointing week for the U.S. freestyle team. Of six U.S. aerialists, both men and women, only Jeret "Speedy" Peterson advanced to the finals.
All six came to Italy ranked in the top 15 in the world.
"Definitely, the best in the world miss sometimes." Lindsey said. "You're always trying to go for it and go big and give it all you've got. Sometimes you pull through and sometimes it isn't your day."
Cook was determined to make this her day regardless of the result.
Still, there was no masking the disappointment after her first landing went awry.
Leaning forward when her skis hit, her legs flailed out, causing her to nearly do the splits. She tumbled forward, her body somersaulting through the powder. Stopped at the bottom, she cradled her head — a rare moment when the 26-year-old may have dared feel sorry for herself.

Sasha Cohen of the United States performs her Women's Short Program in Turin, Italy during the Turin 2006 Winter Olympic Games on Tuesday. Cohen was in first place after the short program by a narrow margin.
BY NANCY ARMOUR
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURIN, Italy — Sassy, saucy and supremely confident, Sasha Cohen is no longer in anyone else's shadow.
At the biggest event of all, no less: women's figure skating at the Olympics.
Going last in Tuesday night's short program, after overwhelming favorite Iriana Slutskaya had dazzled and Japanese heavyweights Shizuka Arakawa and Fumie Suguri had impressed, Cohen shone brighter than them all.
So luminous was her work in the rink that she put the United States in position for its third straight gold medal.
Cohen scored 66.73 points, edging Slutskaya by a mere .03 points. Arakawa, the 2004 world champion, had 66.02 points. The razor-thin margin means Cohen will need to be at her very best again in Thursday night's free skate if she wants to stand at the top of the podium.
"I think about it every day, of course. A couple of times a day." Cohen said, smiling almost shyly. "Like, 'Oh, that would be so nice to take one of those home.'"
Suguri was fourth and fellow American Kimmie Meissner was fifth, one of only two skaters to complete a triple-triple combination. Emily Hughes, added to the U.S. team nine days ago after
Michelle who?
Michelle Kwan withdrew with a groin injury, made an impressive debut in her first major international event. Hughes — yes, sister of THAT Hughes — finished seventh with the 2002 Olympic champion cheering her on.
"It's going to be like starting over. Like the short didn't really count. Back to square one," Cohen said. "It's kind of like the old system. Anybody in the top three can win."
Cohen is one of the most beautiful skaters ever to hit the ice, with the grace and elegance of a ballerina and the athleticism to pull off tough tricks. But she's never even been the headliner in her own country, relegated to being the supporting player to Kwan's star.
Even with Kwan out of the Olympics, Cohen got little attention. All the talk centered on Slutskaya, the two-time world champion who triumphed over heart disease, and the Japanese. Even Hughes got more ink.
Part of it is Cohen's resume. She's had plenty of opportunities to win, but always fell short. She was runner-up to Kwan four times at the U.S. championships, and was the silver medalist at the last two world championships. In Salt Lake City, she was third after the short program but dropped to fourth with a sloppy free skate.
"Salt Lake was very different for me," she said. "I was a different person, a different athlete."

Hockey team loses, will take on Finland
BY IRA PODELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURIN, Italy — After managing only two goals in two consecutive losses, the U.S. men's hockey team broke out with three power-play tallies, yet still fell to Russia 5-4 Tuesday night in an Olympic game that mattered only in the confidence department.
The Americans, the fourthplace team in Group B, were already locked into a quarterfinal matchup Wednesday with Group A-winning Finland. As the No. 2 team in Group B, the Russians will face Canada in the quarterfinals.
After scoring only nine goals in four games, the United States
found its offense just as coach Peter Laviolette said his team would. This time, though, the Americans lacked the defense and goaltending they needed.
Brian Rolston, Brian Gionta and Scott Gomez all scored man-advantage goals but the United States allowed as many goals to Russia as it did in the three previous games of the tournament.
With the Americans scheduled to play again Wednesday in the medal round, goalie Rick DlPietro got the night off; Robert Esche started in his place.
After struggling to get to loose pucks and put them in the net throughout the preliminary round, the U.S. finally converted some scoring opportunities, getting a rebound goal from Gionta and a tipped one from Gomez
Gomez deflected in a shot 5 minutes into the third period to tie it at 3, but Alexander Ovechkin's goal 4:55 later put Russia on top again.
Erik Cole swung behind the net and stuffed a shot past Russia's backup goalie Maxim Sokolov at 10:38 to tie it at 4. But it took just another 1:14 for Russia to take the lead again — this time for good — as Alex Kovalev ripped a shot post Robert Esche inside the left post.
Early on, it looked as if the U.S. would struggle in all facets of the game. The Americans brought in a woeful power play that had connected just four times in 22 opportunities.
At the end of the United States' first power play, Chris Drury attempted a pass along the blue line but had it intercepted by Alexander Korolyuk, who streaked down the ice alone and scored at 9:27 of the first.
Given another chance less than a minute later, Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Evgeni Malkin finished a short-handed 2-on-1 with Darius Kasparaitis by scoring past Eche. Esche finished with 16 saves in what was likely his only appearance in these games.
Russia had top goalie Evgeni Nabokov in goal for the first period, but pulled him in favor of its third-stringer Maxim Sokolov, who made 23 saves over the final 40 minutes.

Two bars, One Great Mardi Gras
Two local bars are hosting knock out Mardi Gras celebrations next Tuesday, February 28. The Granada on Massachusetts Street is the place to be for live music, and Abe & Jakes Landing located next to Spring Hill Suites on 6th and New Hampshire will have beads flying from the balconies all night long.
"BadFish plays across the country to sold out crowds and usually commands a $12 to $15 ticket price, but
If you choose to indulge yourself at The Granada you'll be enjoying two great bands. The show will begin at 9pm and is open to people of all ages. Lawrence's own Local Wobbly H will kick off the night and BadFish will follow them. BadFish is a Sublime tribute band that is new to the Lawrence music scene. If you love Sublime music, you have to see BadFish! They will be performing two and a half hours of Sublime Music for the Fat Tuesday Party.
BadFish has enjoyed much success in the last few months. Mike Logan, the owner of The Granada thinks BadFish is a perfect band for the Fat Tuesday celebration this year,
we are offering it for only five dollars," said Logan. Visit www.badfish.com and www.thegranada.com for more.
For those who are looking for a wild dance party on Fat Tuesday, Abe & Jake's Landing will be hosting its fifth annual Mardi Gras bash. DJ Scottie Mac and DJ Nick Reddell will be providing the beats in the main room, and Abe & Jake's will host karaoke in the Pub.
Representatives from Southern Comfort and Coors Light will also be at Abe & Jake's giving out Mardi Gras beads and merchandise.
In the past, Abe & Jake's has attracted a huge, wild crowd. This Mardi Gras party promises to be one of the biggest and craziest events in town. Abe & Jake's will open at 8pm, and the cover charge is five dollars. As always, you must be 18 years old to enter Abe & Jake's and 21 years old to drink.
With these two bars hosting Mardi Gras celebrations, there is no excuse to stay home next Tuesday. You could enjoy live music at The Granada and add a touch of Lawrence to this New Orleans holiday, or party at Abe & Jake's which will make you feel like your on the balconies above Bourbon Street.

Suspect arrested in connection with Granada shooting
Jason Allen Rose and his attorney Ron Evans listen while Assistant District Attorney David Melton questions a witness about the fire that occurred at the Boardwalk Apartments on the morning of Oct. 7, 2005. Rose was charged Wednesday morning in the Douglas County District Court Building, 111 E. 11th St., with three counts of murder and one count of aggravated arson in connection with the fire.
Eighteen-year-old Rashawn T. Anderson was arrested on Wednesday night in connection with the murder of Robert E. Williams, according to a statement issued by the Lawrence Police Department
(left)
Police made the arrest at about 7:30 p.m.
Anderson, a Topeka resident, was arrested with assistance from the Topeka Police Department.
Williams was killed outside The Granada, 1020 Masachusets St., on Feb. 5.
A First Degree Murder arrest warrant was issued earlier in the day for Anderson.
He is being held on $500,000 bond in the Douglas Country Jail.
The Lawrence Police Department is to hold a media briefing and release more information regarding Anderson's arrest at 9 a.m. today.
Williams' murder was the first of the year in Lawrence and brought negative attention to the downtown area.
It is still unknown whether witnesses gave crucial information about Anderson's involvement in the shooting.
Jenn Bono/KANSAN
A second victim, Pierre Burnette of Kansas City, Kan., was injured in the shooting.
Apartment fire proceedings begin
The shooting occurred after a rap concert, when about two dozen people gathered outside to determine the location of an after-hours party with the performing artists when an altercation broke out between six people.
BOARDWALK HEARINGS
-DeJuan Atway
BY Mike MOSTAFFA
mmostafa@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The preliminary hearing began Wednesday in the trial of Jason Allen Rose. The 20-year-old Lawrence resident has been charged with three counts of murder, one count of aggravated arson and eight counts of aggravated battery in relation to the Boardwalk Apartments fire in October.
The court room was at full capacity, filled with witnesses, media personnel and family members of victims, from all over the state. None of Rose's family members were in attendance.
Three people died in the fire, including KU student Nicole Bingham.
In his testimony, Lawrence police detective Troy Squire said Rose became the main suspect in the case after Rose gave conflicting stories about his actions the night of the fire. Squire also said he used information he obtained regarding a fire that he said Rose started as a 12-year-old boy in foster care. Squire said he learned that the 12-year-old Rose set a trash can on fire after being told he was not allowed to watch the television show "Power Rangers."
Squire said that during a follow-up interrogation, a teary-eyed Rose told him that on Oct. 7 he had set a box containing photos and birthday cards from his father on fire. Squire said Rose told him the fire spread to the apartment's wooden railing and Rose tried to put it out with a rug. He said Rose told him the fire continued to spread and Rose went back inside his apartment to watch television.
Squire said that Rose had told him he wanted a small part of the building to burn "but he didn't want to see anyone hurt."
Rose shortly after placed an emergency call reporting that his apartment building was on fire. Assistant district attorney David Melton played this and several other 911 calls at the trial.
Melton began his long list of witnesses with Lawrence police officer David Ernst, who was the first officer to arrive at the scene of the fire. Ernst said he originally thought the fire was only a small porch
fire, but later realized it was much worse. He said he went to help KU student Leigh McHatton, who had narrowly escaped the fast moving flames.
McHatton said she suffered third degree burns to her feet and hands when she fleed down the apartment stairs through a "wall of fire" to escape the blaze-engulfed building. McHatton held up her scarred hands in court and showed them to District Court judge lack Murhyp.
called as witnesses a number of former Boardwalk Apartment tenants who had survived the fire. Some had to limp and crutch their ways to the stand. Former KU graduate student Eli Greenbaum gingerly walked toward the stand, still recovering from breaking his heels after jumping from his window to the paved parking lot to escape the fire.
For the next several hours, Melton
The only friend to Rose in the crowd was Gary Winchel, a member of Victory Bible Church, 1942 Massachusetts St., who said
he came to provide Rose with a "familiar face during this difficult process."
Winchel called Rose a very "nice and respectful" young man and said he was "completely shocked" to learn Rose, whom he and his family used to take to lunch after Sunday morning church, was charged with setting the fire.
The hearing will continue at 9 a.m. today in Douglas County Court Division Two.

Daniel Dulin is over 21. He is a Lawrence resident. He wanted to have a good time over the weekend. So one night he met up with one of his friends and headed up to a nightclub. But Dalin almost had to leave because he did not have his KUID with him.
Local bars and nightclubs sometimes require people who enter to have a second form of identification besides a driver's license. Typically, a KUID is the form that is requested.
Bar owners, such as co-owner John Heleniak of The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., said they asked people for a second form of ID if the driver's license looked like a fake or was expired.
Owners also asked for KUIDs when they wanted to exclude non-students. John Craven, general manager of The Cadillac Ranch, 2515 W. Sixth St., said they ask for a KUID on Thursdays because it's the bar's featured college night.
Mike Logan, general manager at Abe and Jake's, at Sixth and New Hampshire streets, said the bar asked students for KUIDs during its basketball and football afterparties, which are geared for KU students.
Dulin, a 22-year-old who dropped out of the University of Kansas in October, suspects other reasons why bars ask for KUIDs.
Three months ago, Dulin, who is black, was standing in line and noticed some white women in front of him who walked in without being asked for their KUIDs. He was surprised when he and his friend, who is also black, were asked to
show their KUIDs. Dulin didn't have his and his friend doesn't go to the University. The employees at the door told them they couldn't get in unless they had KUIDs.
"I didn't question them, but I said. That's fine, but I'm going to stand here and see if you ask anyone else for their KUIDs," Dulin said. "They said I could, but when they realized we were really going
Dulin said there wasn't anyone in the VIP line at the time, but an employee who he knew soon came up the stairs at the entrance and told Dulin and his friend to come in.

Cohen first after day one
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22. 2006

Mark Baker/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sasha Cohen of the United States performs her Women's Short Program in Turin, Italy during the Turin 2006 Winter Olympic Games on Tuesday. Cohen was in first place after the short program by a narrow margin.
BY NANCY ARMOUR
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURIN, Italy — Sassy, saucy and supremely confident, Sasha Cohen is no longer in anyone else's shadow.
At the biggest event of all, no less: women's figure skating at the Olympics.
Going last in Tuesday night's short program, after overwhelming favorite Irina Slutskaya had dazzled and Japanese heavyweights Shizuka Arakawa and Fumie Suguri had impressed, Cohen shone brighter than them all.
So luminous was her work in the rink that she put the United States in position for its third straight gold medal.
"I think about it every day, of course. A couple of times a day," Cohen said, smiling almost shyly. "Like, 'Oh, that would be so nice to take one of those home."
Michelle who?
Cohen scored 66.73 points, edging Slutskaya by a mere .03 points. Arakawa, the 2004 world champion, had 66.02 points. The razor-thin margin means Cohen will need to be at her very best again in Thursday night's free skate if she wants to stand at the top of the podium.
Suguri was fourth and fellow American Kimmie Meissner was fifth, one of only two skaters to complete a triple-triple combination. Emily Hughes, added to the U.S. team nine days ago after
Michelle Kwan withdrew with a groin injury, made an impressive debut in her first major international event. Hughes — yes, sister of THAT Hughes — finished seventh with the 2002 Olympic champion cheering her on.
Part of it is Cohen's resume. She's had plenty of opportunities to win, but always fell short. She was runner-up to Kwan four times at the U.S. championships, and was the silver medalist at the last two world championships. In Salt Lake City, she was third after the short program but dropped to fourth with a sloppy free skate.
"It's going to be like starting over. Like the short didn't really count. Back to square one," Cohen said. "It's kind of like the old system. Anybody in the top three can win."
Cohen is one of the most beautiful skaters ever to hit the ice, with the grace and elegance of a ballerina and the athleticism to pull off tough tricks. But she's never even been the headliner in her own country, relegated to being the supporting player to Kwan's star.
Even with Kwan out of the Olympics, Cohen got little attention. All the talk centered on Slutskaya, the two-time world champion who triumphed over heart disease, and the Japanese. Even Hughes got more ink.
"Salt Lake was very different for me," she said. "I was a different person, a different athlete."

Hockey team loses, will take on Finland
BY IRA PODELL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURIN, Italy — After managing only two goals in two consecutive losses, the U.S. men's hockey team broke out with three power-play tallies, yet still fell to Russia 5-4 Tuesday night in an Olympic game that mattered only in the confidence department.
The Americans, the fourthplace team in Group B, were already locked into a quarterfinal matchup Wednesday with Group A-winning Finland. As the No. 2 team in Group B, the Russians will face Canada in the quarterfinals.
After scoring only nine goals in four games, the United States
found its offense just as coach Peter Laviolette said his team would. This time, though, the Americans lacked the defense and goaltending they needed.
Brian Rolston, Brian Gonta and Scott Gomez all scored man-advantage goals but the United States allowed as many goals to Russia as it did in the three previous games of the tournament.
With the Americans scheduled to play again Wednesday in the medal round, goalie Rick DIPietro got the night off; Robert Esche started in his place.
After struggling to get to loose pucks and put them in the net throughout the preliminary round, the U.S. finally converted some scoring opportunities, getting a rebound goal from Gionta and a tipped one from Gomez
Gomez deflected in a shot 5 minutes into the third period to tie it at 3, but Alexander Ovechkin's goal 4:55 later put Russia on top again.
Erik Cole swung behind the net and stuffed a shot past Russia's backup goalie Maxim Sokolov at 10:38 to tie it at 4. But it took just another 1:14 for Russia to take the lead again — this time for good — as Alex Kovalev ripped a shot past Robert Esche inside the left post.
Given another chance less than a minute later, Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Evgeni Malkin finished a short-handed 2-on-1 with Darius Kasparitis by scoring past Eche. Esche finished with 16 saves in what was likely his only appearance in these games.
At the end of the United States' first power play, Chris Drury attempted a pass along the blue line but had it intercepted by Alexander Korolyuk, who streaked down the ice alone and scored at 9:27 of the first.
Russia had top goalie Evgeni Nabokov in goal for the first period, but pulled him in favor of its third-stringer Maxim Sokolov, who made 23 saves over the final 40 minutes.
Early on, it looked as if the U.S. would struggle in all facets of the game. The Americans brought in a woeful power play that had connected just four times in 22 opportunities.

Suspect arrested in connection with Granada shooting
M. KORNELSON
Eighteen-year-old Rashawn T. Anderson was arrested on Wednesday night in connection with the murder of Robert E. Williams, according to a statement issued by the Lawrence Police Department.
Jason Allen Rose and his attorney Ron Evans listen while Assistant District Attorney David Melton questions a witness about the fire that occurred at the Boardwalk Apartments on the morning of Oct. 7, 2005. Rose was charged Wednesday morning in the Douglas County District Court Building, 111 E. 11th St., with three counts of murder and one count of aggravated arson in connection with the fire.
Police made the arrest at about 7:30 p.m.
Anderson, a Topeka resident, was arrested with assistance from the Topeka Police Department.
Williams was killed outside The Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., on Feb. 5.
A First Degree Murder arrest warrant was issued earlier in the day for Anderson.
Jenn Bono/KANSAN
He is being held on $500,000 bond in the Douglas County Jail.
The Lawrence Police Department is to hold a media briefing and release more information regarding Anderson's arrest at 9 a.m. today.
It is still unknown whether witnesses gave crucial information about Anderson's involvement in the shooting.
Williams' murder was the first of the year in Lawrence and brought negative attention to the downtown area.
A second victim, Pierre Burnette of Kansas City, Kan., was injured in the shooting.
Apartment fire proceedings begin
The shooting occurred after a rap concert, when about two dozen people gathered outside to determine the location of an after-hours party with the performing artists when an altercation broke out between six people.

BOARDWALK HEARINGS
BY MIKE MOSTAFFA
mmostaffa@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The preliminary hearing began Wednesday in the trial of Jason Allen Rose. The 20-year-old Lawrence resident has been charged with three counts of murder, one count of aggravated arson and eight counts of aggravated battery in relation to the Boardwalk Apartments fire in October.
Three people died in the fire, including KU student Nicole Bingham.
The court room was at full capacity, filled with witnesses, media personnel and family members of victims, from all over the state. None of Rose's family members were in attendance.
In his testimony, Lawrence police detective Troy Squire said Rose became the main suspect in the case after Rose gave conflicting stories about his actions the night of the fire. Squire also said he used information he obtained regarding a fire that he said Rose started as a 12-year-old boy in foster care. Squire said he learned that the 12-year-old Rose set a trash can on fire after being told he was not allowed to watch the television show "Power Rangers."
Squire said that during a follow-up interrogation, a teary-eyed Rose told him that on Oct. 7 he had set a box containing photos and birthday cards from his father on fire. Squire said Rose told him the fire spread to the apartment's wooden railing and Rose tried to put it out with a rug. He said Rose told him the fire continued to spread and Rose went back inside his apartment to watch television.
Rose shortly after placed an emergency call reporting that his apartment building was on fire. Assistant district attorney David Melton played this and several other 911 calls at the trial.
Squire said that Rose had told him he wanted a small part of the building to burn "but he didn't want to see anyone hurt."
Melton began his long list of witnesses with Lawrence police officer David Ernst, who was the first officer to arrive at the scene of the fire. Ernst said he originally thought the fire was only a small porch
fire, but later realized it was much worse He said he went to help KU student Leigh McHatton, who had narrowly escaped the fast moving flames.
McHatton said she suffered third degree burns to her feet and hands when she fled down the apartment stairs through a "wall of fire" to escape the blaze-engulfed building. McHatton held up her scared hands in court and showed them to District Court Judge Jack Murphy.
called as witnesses a number of former Boardwalk Apartment tenants who had survived the fire. Some had to limp and crutch their ways to the stand. Former KU graduate student Eli Greenbaum gingerly walked toward the stand, still recovering from breaking his heels after jumping from his window to the paved parking lot to escape the fire.
For the next several hours, Melton
The only friend to Rose in the crowd was Gary Winchel, a member of Victory Bible Church, 1942 Massachusetts St., who said
he came to provide Rose with a "familiar face during this difficult process."
Winchel called Rose a very "nice and respectful" young man and said he was "completely shocked" to learn Rose, whom he and his family used to take to lunch after Sunday morning church, was charged with setting the fire.
The hearing will continue at 9 a.m. today in Douglas County Court Division Two.

Daniel Dulin is over 21. He is a Lawrence resident. He wanted to have a good time over the weekend. So one night he met up with one of his friends and headed up to a nightclub. But Dalin almost had to leave because he did not have his KUID with him.
Local bars and nightclubs sometimes require people who enter to have a second form of identification besides a driver's license. Typically, a KUID is the form that is requested.
Bar owners, such as co-owner John Heleniak of The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St. said they asked people for a second form of ID if the driver's license looked like a fake or was expired.
Owners also asked for KUIDs when they wanted to exclude non-students. John Cravens, general manager of The Cadillac Ranch, 2515 W. Sixth St., said they ask for a KUID on Thursday because it's the bar's featured college night.
Mike Logan, general manager at Abe and Jake's, at Sixth and New Hampshire streets, said the bar asked students for KUIDs during its basketball and football afterparties, which are geared for KU students.
Three months ago, Dulin, who is black, was standing in line and noticed some white women in front of him who walked in without being asked for their KUIDs. He was surprised when he and his friend, who is also black, were asked to

show their KUIDs. Dulin didn't have his and his friend doesn't go to the University. The employees at the door told them they couldn't get in unless they had KUIDs.
Dulin said there wasn't anyone in the VIP line at the time, but an employee who he knew soon came up the stairs at the entrance and told Dulin and his friend to come in.
"I didn't question them, but I said, 'That's fine, but I'm going to stand here and see if you ask anyone else for their KUIDs,'" Dulin said. "They said I could, but when they realized we were really going

$43.5 million stolen
BY JENNIFER QUINN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — A gang of armed robbers impersonating police officers tied up employees at a southern England security company and stole the equivalent of $43.5 million, the Bank of England said Wednesday in disclosing one of the largest bank heists in British history.
The heist at Securitas Cash Management Ltd. began when some of the thieves, dressed as
police officers, stopped the firm's manager as he drove home Tuesday. The manager got into their car, which he believed to be a police vehicle, and was handcuffed by the robbers, authorities said.
At the same time, another team of thieves went to the manager's house, saying he had been in an accident. The men convinced his wife and young son to leave the home and go with them. The manager allegedly was told to cooperate or his family would be hurt.
The first team, with the manager in the car, met up with a white van and another group of thieves. The manager was placed in the van, which then headed toward the security, to meet up with accomplices driving a large white truck, police said.
The thieves tied up 15 employees and started loading cash into the truck, police said.
It is believed the thieves were in the depot for more than an hour before driving off with the cash, police said.

Tony Reynolds, center, leaves the Lee County Courthouse on Wednesday with his wife, Joanne, and brother-in-law, Mike McCollum, after a jury found 17-year-old Sarah Kolb guilty of first-degree murder and concealing a homicide in the death of Reynolds' daughter, Adriane Reynolds, in Dixon, Ill.
Girl convicted for killing peer
DIXON, Ill. — A teenage girl was convicted Wednesday in the killing of a 16-year-old classmate who was choked, beaten and sawed into pieces after an argument over boys.
BY JAN DENNIS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sarah Kolb, 17, faces up to 60 years in prison.
The victim, Adrianne Reynolds, had just moved to East Moline from Texas about two months before she was killed. Prosecutors said she was just trying to fit in at a new school but picked the wrong friend.
On Jan. 21, 2005, Kolb, Reynolds and schoolmate Cory Gregory were in Kolb's car at a fast-food restaurant when the fight began. Reynolds was killed and her body was burned, dismembered and hidden in two counties.
Gregory also is charged with murder and concealing a homicide and is scheduled to stand
trial May 1
Kolb showed no reaction as the verdict was read. Her family and Reynolds' family wept quietly as the injury was polled.
The trial was.Kolb's second in three months. The first ended in a mistrial in November when a Rock Island County jury deadlocked 11-1 in favor of conviction. Her retrial was moved to Dixon, about 60 miles from the Ouad Cities.
Later, step-uncle Michael McCollum said Reynolds' family was "overjoyed. It's been a very long road."
Kolb's family declined to comment as they left the courthouse.
In the retrial, Rock Island County State's Attorney Jeff Teronez said Kolb wrote in a class journal that she was going to kill Reynolds just hours before Reynolds was beaten and strangled in the car.
shown interest in Kolb's boyfriend and Gregory, her ex-boyfriend.
Defense attorney David Hoffman told jurors it was Gregory who killed Reynolds. But prosecutors said Koib was still accountable because she choked and beat Reynolds before Gregory "finished her off."
Terronez said Kolb was angry because Reynolds had
Prosecutors say the two took the girl's body to Kolb's grandparents' farm and burned it, then returned two days later, sawed the body into pieces and dumped the remains on the farm and in Black Hawk State Park in Rock Island.
In her first trial, Kolb testified that Gregory strangled Reynolds, then hit Kolb and threatened to kill her, her family and her cats if she reported the crime. Gregory, who has pleaded not guilty, denied that account in a television interview.
Kolb did not testify in her second trial, and the defense rested without presenting a case.
21 TO ENTER 2 ID REQUIRED YOU MAY BE CARDED MULTIPLE TIMES
KUID
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
"It was racial profiling without a doubt," he said. "They were picking and choosing who to ask for KUIDs."
Michelle Smith is a specialist for the city of Lawrence human relations department, which is a civil rights enforcement agency. She said that asking for a KUID has to be consistent.
"If they aren't consistently doing this, they could be potentially singling out a protected class," she said. "If everyone across the board is being asked, then that's their pre-operative and their practice."
Abe and Jake's requires everyone who enters to have a KUID on particular college nights. Logan said someone who doesn't have a KUID won't be admitted, regardless of race.
"KU students come in all different races, and you can be whatever race to be let in," he said. "We spend our advertising dollars targeting towards college students and that's our target audience. That's who we want in here."
To be let into a bar, a driver's license or another form of ID that shows the person's date of birth has to be shown before entry, said Brandon Jones, assistant district attorney for Douglas County. If a bar
wants extra forms, and the person cannot provide that, Jones said that under law, the bar doesn't have to let the person in. He said a college night is acceptable if it is a promotional deal in which students get in for a cheaper price than non-students.
Richard Levy, KU professor of law, speculated on why a bar might ask for KUIDs. He said that a bar might be trying to keep out "undesirables."
"There are laws prohibiting discrimination on race, and if a person feels he was discriminated against because of race, he would need to come into court and show it was a violation." Lew said.
Some people don't have a problem getting into local bars and nightclubs.
Leslie Schmille, a Lawrence junior who is white, was at Abe and Jake's two Saturdays ago and saw posted signs before the walkway stating that everyone must have a KUID. She was worried because she didn't have her KUID, and she was also with one friend who attends Johnson County Community College and one friend who isn't in college, both white.
"While we were waiting in line to go in, we asked one of the workers if we needed one, and he said no," she said. "When we got up to the front, they didn't ask any of us
for one.'
Issac Akande, a Wichita sophomore who is black, didn't have to show his KUID either that same night.
"They didn't ask me for my KUID, I just showed them my license," he said. "They didn't ask any of my friends either."
Tyler Torneden, door manager at Abe and Jake's, said the bar was not always strict on asking for KUIDs.
When Schmille saw the KUID signs at Abe and Jake's, she figured they were related to the Feb. 5 shooting outside of the Granada, in which a man shot and killed one man and injured another, police said. All three men are believed to be from out of town.
Logan said there was no connection to the shooting, and that asking for KUIDs was something the nightclub had done for years.
"Many establishments have college nights, and it's as simple as that," he said. "We want to make sure we keep our core customer base, and that's the college students."
No changes have been made at The Hawk in response to the shooting, according to Heleniak, James Savage, door manager at Quirinton's Bar and Deli, 615 Massachusetts St., and Cravens said the same.

Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior and presidential candidate for Ignite, said he approached Gay earlier in the semester about the possibility of her running with his coalition. Boots said that during their conversations Gay seemed interested in learning more, which is was her name was placed on the coalition's listserver. He said that when the Web site was being built they used a program that automatically listed all the names on that listserver as the group's supporters.
"We apologize to Gina and her organizations for the miscommunication and wish to congratulate the organizations she is involved with," Boots said. "Gina is a hard, loyal worker, and any organization that has her support should be thankful."
Gay said when she was approached by the Ignite coalition she told them they could send her an e-mail with more information but that she never gave any verbal commitment. She said she never went to any of its meetings or showed any serious interest in leaving Delta Force.
Bridget Franklin, Topeka senior and vice presidential candidate for Delta Force, said she was sad to see the campaign off to such a "nasty" start. She said this issue wasn't about Ignite being "bad" but more about its miscommunication.
"I don't think it's going to hurt them," Franklin said. "I just hope they realize that with a violation happening so soon they need to be more responsible and run a more careful campaign."
Steele said he hadn't had a chance to look at the complaint yet because the commission was still finishing up the process of hiring its new commissioner. He did say, however, that he was taken by surprise that there was a reported violation so early in the campaign.

OPINION
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2006
WWW.KANSAN.COM
OUR OPINION
Media should stick to facts in reporting
It is not uncommon for people or a community to want an immediate response to a recent calamity or misfortune. Entities such as the media can cultivate these responses for the greater good but can also have the opposite effect.
For the past few weeks, the Lawrence Journal-World has had constant coverage of the fatal shooting that occurred on Massachusetts Street on Feb 5. The Journal-World was right to report the event and its investigation, as it would be right for any paper to report on criminal investigations. The problem, however, is the other coverage the paper published in regard to the shooting.
The Journal-World's related coverage on downtown safety and gun possession has done more to worry the community than it has to provide guidance or insight. At the time this editorial was written, there hadn't been any coverage of the investigation itself since Feb. 8, yet there have been several articles linked to that coverage since then on the paper's Web site, lfworld.com, including online video footage.
Issue: Sensasionalism in the media
Stance: The Lawrence Journal-World should not instill fear.
The shooting and subsequent death of a bystander and father was a tragedy and is worthy of the media's attention. What the Journal-World has done is played
off of people's fears and insecurities. The Journal-World has given the impression that Lawrence will soon be host to such shootings on a more regular basis — and that these shootings are a result of urban culture — and it has questioned the security of downtown and attacked the late hours of its bars as a cause of the shooting. All of these accusations have been made when the status of the criminal investigation is unknown, when no motive has been established, no suspects acknowledged.
Such actions are a detriment to the community and reflect poorly on the intentions of the Journal-World. Newspapers should not be in the business of milking insecurity from its readership. The Journal-World needs to be more concerned with covering verifiable connections to such events and stop using them as a means to an end.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Respect SafeRide
SafeRide is a service that students at the University of Kansas can be proud about. SafeRide is a student-funded, student-run initiative that ensures students get home safely.
A successful pick-up happens when the student is then at the location at the time that dispatcher has told them and they get a free ride home. At times, successful rides haven't happened as often as KU on Wheels would like. The common problem SafeRide deals with is no shows by the students. This occurs when students who scheduled a pick-up are nowhere
to be found when the driver gets there. This is a problem because if a driver is waiting for a student who is not going to show up they have just wasted the time that could have been spent picking up another student who might want to use the SafeRide program.
The Transportation Board would like to ask students that call and get a pick up time to watch for SafeRide and be ready to take the ride that they scheduled.

COMMENTARY
U.S. success in Iraq depends on credibility
Iraq is quite the conundrum. Every American you talk to will give you a different reason we are there, what our goals are and when it will all be finished. There are no easy answers to the questions "Why are we in Iraq?" and "What are our government's motives for this war?" but one thing is true: We are there. And if the United States ever wants to pull troops out of the region we are going to have to convince the international community and the Iraqi people that our goal is to leave the region safer than it was before.
One step is to take a stronger position against torture. Needless torture of Iraqi prisoners in Abu Ghraib has undermined the U.S. position as a friend to the Iraqi people. In 2003, the New Yorker obtained a Government report calling the torture at Abu Ghraib "sadistic, blatant, and wanton criminal abuses."
In order to be successful, the United States must be viewed by the world as a legitimate peace-keeping democracy.
LIZ STUEWE
opinion@hansan.com
In order to be successful, the United States must be viewed by the world as a legitimate peace-keeping democracy.
Instead the use of torture in the military is reminiscent of a violent dictatorship. We need to be clear that we don't support this kind of violence. The insurgencies will never end unless the United States unmistakably distances itself from practices
— such as torture — mimicking the regime we overthrew.
Should we censor unfavorable stories about the United States military to help improve our reputation in Iraq? Absolutely not. We must be as transparent as possible with regard
to our government and military in order to win back the Iraqi people's trust.
Torture hurts everyone. The torture scandals have made it even harder for U.S. troops to establish any sort of peace in Iraq. I don't agree with President Bush's decision to use military force in Iraq. But honestly, that isn't the issue anymore. We are there. The best possible outcome I can imagine in this situation is the United States leaving Iraq a quasi-strict government with as little bloodshed as possible. Ultimately, the United States must be viewed as a legitimate Democracy in order to create any form of stability in Iraq.
PAGE 5A
Obviously, this alone is not enough. There are many things the United States needs to do militarily,economically and socially in Iraq before we can leave. But we must start now because we have a long road ahead.

In her first trial, Kolb testified that Gregory strangled Reynolds, then hit Kolb and threatened to kill her, her family and her cats if she reported the crime. Gregory, who has pleaded not guilty, denied that account in a television interview.
Kolb did not testify in her second trial, and the defense rested without presenting a case.

"It was racial profiling without a doubt," he said. "They were picking and choosing who to ask for KUIDs."
Michelle Smith is a specialist for the city of Lawrence human relations department, which is a civil rights enforcement agency. She said that asking for a KUID has to be consistent.
"KU students come in all different races, and you can be whatever race to be let in," he said. "We spend our advertising dollars targeting towards college students and that's our target audience. That's who we want in here."
"If they aren't consistently doing this, they could be potentially singling out a protected class," she said. "If everyone across the board is being asked, then that's their pre-operative and their practice."
To be let into a bar, a driver's license or another form of ID that shows the person's date of birth has to be shown before entry, said Brandon Jones, assistant district attorney for Douglas County. If a bar
Abe and Jake's requires everyone who enters to have a KUID on particular college nights. Logan said someone who doesn't have a KUID won't be admitted, regardless of race.
wants extra forms, and the person cannot provide that, Jones said that under law, the bar doesn't have to let the person in. He said a college night is acceptable if it is a promotional deal in which students get in for a cheaper price than non-students.
Richard Levy, KU professor of law, speculated on why a bar might ask for KUIDs. He said that a bar might be trying to keep out "unde- sirabiles."
"There are laws prohibiting discrimination on race, and if a person feels he was discriminated against because of race, he would need to come into court and show it was a violation." Lew said.
Some people don't have a problem getting into local bars and nightclubs.
Leslie Schmille, a Lawrence junior who is white, was at Abe and Jake's two Saturday days ago and saw posted signs before the walkway stating that everyone must have a KUID. She was worried because she didn't have her KUID, and she was also with one friend who attends Johnson County Community College and one friend who isn't in college, both white.
"While we were waiting in line to go in, we asked one of the workers if we needed one, and he said no," she said. "When we got up to the front, they didn't ask any of us
for one."
Issac Akande, a Wichita sophomore who is black, didn't have to show his KUID either that same night.
"They didn't ask me for my KUID. I just showed them my license," he said. "They didn't ask any of my friends either."
Tyler Torneden, door manager at Abe and Jake's, said the bar was not always strict on asking for KUIDs.
When Schmille saw the KUID signs at Abe and Jake's, she figured they were related to the Feb. 5 shooting outside of the Granada, in which a man shot and killed one man and injured another, police said. All three men are believed to be from out of town.
Logan said there was no connection to the shooting, and that asking for KUIDs was something the nightclub had done for years.
"Many establishments have college nights, and it's as simple as that," he said. "We want to make sure we keep our core customer base, and that's the college students."
No changes have been made at The Hawk in response to the shooting, according to Heleniak, James Savage, door manager at Quinton's Bar and Deli, 615 Massachusetts St., and Cravens said the same.

Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior and presidential candidate for Ignite, said he approached Gay earlier in the semester about the possibility of her running with his coalition. Boots said that during their conversations Gay seemed interested in learning more, which is was her name was placed on the coalition's listserver. He said that when the Web site was being built they used a program that automatically listed all the names on that listserver as the group's supporters.
"We apologize to Gina and her organizations for the miscommu-
Gay said when she was approached by the Ignite coalition she told them they could send her an e-mail with more information but that she never gave any verbal commitment. She said she never went to any of its meetings or showed any serious interest in leaving Delta Force.
Bridget Franklin, Topeka senior and vice presidential candidate for Delta Force, said she was sad to see the campaign get off to such a "nasty" start. She said this issue wasn't about Ignite being "bad" but more about its miscommunication.
"I don't think it's going to hurt them," Franklin said. "I just hope they realize that with a violation happening so soon they need to be more responsible and run a more careful campaign."
Steele said he hadn't had a chance to look at the complaint yet because the commission was still finishing up the process of hiring its new commissioner. He did say, however, that he was taken by surprise that there was a reported violation so early in the campaign.

▼ OUR OPINION
Media should stick to facts in reporting
It is not uncommon for people or a community to want an immediate response to a recent calamity or misfortune. Entities such as the media can cultivate these responses for the greater good but can also have the opposite effect.
The Journal-World's related coverage on downtown safety and gun possession has done more to worry the community than it has to provide guidance or insight. At the time this editorial was written, there hadn't been any coverage of the investigation itself since Feb. 8, yet there have been several articles linked to that coverage since then on the paper's Web site, ljworld.com, including online video footage.
For the past few weeks, the Lawrence Journal-World has had constant coverage of the fatal shooting that occurred on Massachusetts Street on Feb 5. The Journal-World was right to report the event and its investigation, as it would be right for any paper to report on criminal investigations. The problem, however, is the other coverage the paper published in regard to the shooting.
The shooting and subsequent death of a bystander and father was a tragedy and is worthy of the media's attention. What the Journal-World has done is played
Stance: The Lawrence Journal-World should not instill fear.
Such actions are a detriment to the community and reflect poorly on the intentions of the Journal-World. Newspapers should not be in the business of milking insecurity from its readership. The Journal-World needs to be more concerned with covering verifiable connections to such events and stop using them as a means to an end.
off of people's fears and insecurities. The Journal-World has given the impression that Lawrence will soon be host to such shootings on a more regular basis — and that these shootings are a result of urban culture — and it has questioned the security of downtown and attacked the late hours of its bars as a cause of the shooting. All of these accusations have been made when the status of the criminal investigation is unknown, when no motive has been established, no suspects acknowledged.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Respect SafeRide
SafeRide is a service that students at the University of Kansas can be proud about. SafeRide is a student-funded, student-run initiative that ensures students get home safely.
to be found when the driver gets there. This is a problem because if a driver is waiting for a student who is not going to show up they have just wasted the time that could have been spent picking up another student who might want to use the SafeRide program.
A successful pick-up happens when the student is then at the location at the time that dispatcher has told them and they get a free ride home. At times, successful rides haven't happened as often as KU on Wheels would like. The common problem SafeRide deals with is no shows by the students. This occurs when students who scheduled a pick-up are nowhere
The Transportation Board would like to ask students that call and get a pick up time to watch for SafeRide and be ready to take the ride that they scheduled.

U.S. success in Iraq depends on credibility
Iraq is quite the conundrum. Every American you talk to will give you a different reason we are there, what our goals are and when it will all be finished. There are no easy answers to the questions "Why are we in Iraq?" and "What are our government's motives for this war?" but one thing is true: We are there. And if the United States ever wants to pull troops out of the region we are going to have to convince the international community and the Iraqi people that our goal is to leave the region safer than it was before.
In order to be successful, the United States must be viewed by the world as a legitimate peace-keeping democracy.
One step is to take a stronger position against torture. Needless torture of Iraqi prisoners in Abu Ghraib has undermined the U.S. position as a friend to the Iraqi people. In 2003, the New Yorker obtained a Government report calling the torture at Abu Ghraib "sadistic, blatant, and wanton criminal abuses."
LIZ STUEWE opinion@hansan.com
In order to be successful, the United States must be viewed by the world as a legitimate peace-keeping democracy.
Instead the use of torture in the military is reminiscent of a violent dictatorship. We need to be clear that we don't support this kind of violence. The insurgencies will never end unless the United States unmistakably distances itself from practices
— such as torture — mimicking the regime we overthrew.
Should we censor unfavorable stories about the United States military to help improve our reputation in Iraq? Absolutely not. We must be as transparent as possible with regard
to our government and military in order to win back the Iraqi people's trust.
Torture hurts everyone. The torture scandals have made it even harder for U.S. troops to establish any sort of peace in Iraq. I don't agree with President Bush's decision to use military force in Iraq. But honestly, that isn't the issue anymore. We are there. The best possible outcome I can imagine in this situation is the United States leaving Iraq a quasi-stable government with as little bloodshed as possible. Ultimately, the United States must be viewed as a legitimate Democracy in order to create any form of stability in Iraq.
Obviously, this alone is not enough. There are many things the United States needs to do militarily, economically and socially in Iraq before we can leave. But we must start now, because we have a long road ahead.

(Editor's note: The comments below appear unified and unaltered. These comments do not necessarily reflect the opinions of The University Daily Kansas.)
It seems we still have awhile to go on our free speech. Almost every media outlet in the West allowed terror to stop that right. You can view the cartoons on my website at obber.com. Check out the documentary I put together. You cannot explain this whole situation any
better than that.
It is pathetic that we should bow to foreign powers who wish to stifel our free speech, if catholics can tolerate the virgin being smeeed in feces and offered up as art, how is it that your religion is so intolerant that it feels it has the right to abridge our speech?

Since when was the right to free speech trumped by the right not to be offended or have one's feelings hurt? Islam is an interesting religion, but it - like any other religion - should be open to examination and be held to the same standards to which other world religions are held.

There is nothing such as absolute freedom. Well, actually there is, but it is called chaos. That is one extreme of a scale that has oppression on its other extreme.

BEADS YOU WANT 'EM! WE'VE GOT 'EM!
LINCOLN, Neb. — Eight workers at a Nebraska meatpacking plant are really bringing home the bacon now: They stepped forward Wednesday to claim the biggest lottery jackpot in U.S. history — $365 million.
The winners said they often pooled their money with other workers when Powerball jackpots exceeded $40 million. Maboussou said he did not think employees who did not chip in for the tickets would harbor any ill will towards the winners.
The seven men and one woman bought the winning Powerball ticket at a convenience store near the ConAgra ham processing plant where they worked. At least three of the winners are immigrants — two from Vietnam and one from the Republic of Congo.

"Buy an island. Buy an airplane.
In reality, I'm not a fan of flying and don't really like water."
"I don't think they have a reason to be jealous because when it's a pool day, we ask people to put like in five bucks, so if you wasn't there or you didn't put five bucks in, sorry," he said.
"This is great country!" said Quang Dao, 56, who came to the United States in 1988. He still has family in Vietnam and said he plans to help them financially with his winnings.
The Nebraska workers had the option of taking the money in one lump sum or 30 annual installments. They chose the lump sum and will get $15.5 million each after taxes.
"She's going to be happy for the rest of her life," he said of the 3-month-old girl.
Alain Maboussou, 26, said he fled the Congo in 1999 to escape unrest after the civil war there. He said he plans to quit work and return to school for a degree in business administration. The money will provide for his wife and baby daughter.
Three of the group quit their jobs when they hit the jackpot.
"I've been retired for about four days now," said Eric Zornes, 40.
The other winners were: David Gehle, 53; Chasity Rutjens, 29; Dung Tran, 34; and Robert Stewart, 30.
Mike Terpstra, a 47-year-old plant supervisor who is single and has no children, was unsure what to do with the money. "Everybody has dreams," he said.
The winning numbers were 15,17,43,44 and 48,with a Powerball number of 29. The odds of picking the winning combination of numbers were 1 in 146 million.
Powerball tickets are sold in 28 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

After taking Baty's spot in the lineup late in Saturday's game, Murphy hit his first home run in a Kansas uniform. Murphy said it was a moment he had long awaited.
"You think about that all throughout the fall and winter and you're in the cage thinking, 'Here's the pitch,' and you do all the motions, but to finally get it over and done with is exciting," Murphy said. "That's the biggest thing to get out of the way."
VITAL STATS
"It's been fun with him out in left field," Murphy said. "He's a fun guy to be there with."
Murphy has replaced Baty in the lineup four times this season. Still, Murphy said he would much rather play alongside Baty than in his place.
Coming into the season, Coach Ritch Price expected Murphy to contribute primarily with his glove and arm on defense and his speed on the base paths. Price said if Murphy had one weakness before joining the team, though, it was at the plate.
He was an all-state first team selection his senior/year high school in 2003.
- His high school team in Wisconsin, Ft. Ternry, won the state championship his sophomore year in 2001.
Patient history has been reviewed.
With a first-to-arrive, last-to-leave mentality at practice and by spending extra time working on his swing with Coach Kevin Tucker, Murphy has quickly im-
state championship the sophomore year in 2001.
*He was an assistant coach for college selection in 2004.
In addition, we will be named to the UCD World Series All-Tournament Team while at Indian Hills Community College.
- In the summer of 2004, Murphy helped the Madison Matilda to a Northwoods League title.
In his final season at Indian Hills, Murphy accumulated 13 home runs and 51 RBI while leading the team with a .444 batting average, 63 hits and 20 stolen bases.

pressed Price.
"During the course of time he's been with us, he may be the best outfielder I've coached in my 28 years in the game." Price said.
Baty said he was most surprised by Murphy's ability to step up as a leader in his first year on a veteran team.
Despite the strides Murphy has made on the field and in the locker room, Murphy said he hadn't fully adapted to Division I baseball as a hitter.
"The pitching, for sure, this last couple weeks has been a big adjustment," Murphy said. "Every pitcher can throw every pitch for a strike. You never see a 3-0 count curveball in junior
college, it's all fastballs down the middle."
Murphy has also been able to come off the bench and produce late in games.
In the ninth inning of the second game of the season, Murphy collected his first hit as a Jayhawk, driving in senior Gus Milner. His first home run came in the eighth inning against San Diego, and his sacrifice fly in the 11th inning on Sunday against Vanderbilt put Kansas ahead for good.
"You got to live for those situations," Murphy said. "It's a tough role to fit into, but I love it."

At the time, the Missouri coaching position was one of the nation's top job openings. Stewart retired after guiding the Tigers to seven NCAA Tournament appearances in his last 10 seasons, including an Elite Eight appearance in 1994.
His teams were highly ranked and consistently had a knack for knocking off ranked Kansas teams at home and on the road. In the same time period, Kansas suffered through numerous painful second-round exits, to the likes of Rhode Island and Texas-El Paso, in the tournament. Missouri would have been the perfect place for Self to continue what Stewart had spent 32
years building.
There's no doubt Missouri would be among the nation's top programs with Self at the helm. The combination of Self's ability to assemble highly ranked recruiting classes and Missouri's record of success in the 1990s would have been tough for any coach, even Roy Williams, to counter. Quite a twist of fate for the man who dreamed of returning to coach at Allen Fieldhouse after spending a year here under former coach Larry Brown.
But luckily for Kansas fans, that's not how the story ended.
Instead, Alden took a chance on a 32-year-old assistant with no previous head coaching experience. Sure, the early years with Snyder at the helm were great. In just his second season,
the 2015 Tigers were ranked as high as No. 2 in the polls and finished the season in the Elite Eight. It looked like Snyder was on his way to building a basketball power in Columbia, Mo. But that was actually the beginning of his downfall. NCAA violations and players in trouble with the law, cast a black cloud over the career of a promising, young coach.
Sure, it's easy now to laugh at prospect of Self embracing everything we hate about the Tigers, but things nearly turned out just the opposite. Instead, it could be Kansas fans looking at Missouri with envy, asking, "What if Self was our coach?"

New St. Louis coach recovers from surgery
NFL
ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Rams' newly hired defensive quality control coach, Joe Baker, is recovering after having his appendix removed, team officials
said Wednesday.
Dr. Douglas Pogue said Baker underwent an emergency appendectomy Monday night at a St. Louis hospital.
Baker was hired last week. He enters his 12th NFL season this year and was previously the secondary/safeties coach for the Green Bay Packers.
According to the Rams' Web site, the former Princeton wide receiver was with the New Orleans Saints from 2000 to 2004 Rams spokesman Duane Lewis said that Baker would not attend an annual event in Indianapolis this week to scout among 300 top college players.

wede notches elusive victory
CANADA
Alessandro Trovati/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY HOWARD FENDRICH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sweden's Anja Paerson skis to the gold medal in the Women's Stalom at the Turin 2006 Winter Olympic Games on Wednesday in Sestriere Colle, Italy. It was her first Olympic gold.
SESTRIERE, Italy — Anja Paerson had won plenty of races, at all levels. Alas, never at the Olympics.
Each silver or bronze at the Winter Games made her crave gold that much more. Each disappointment added to the pressure, made her tight. She knew it.
And yet Paerson felt a welcome calm when she settled into the starting gate and stared into the floodlit fog Wednesday night. Less than a minute later, the Swede was at the bottom of the mountain tossing off her helmet and doing her trademark victory headfirst slide in the snow.
At last, an Olympic champion.
Riding up the mountain for the second of two slalom runs, Paerson later recounted, "I said to myself: 'Dream about gold and how fun it would be.' Then when I got off the lift, I just focused. I just needed to go out and do
it. I wasn't nervous at all."
Instead, she was flawless, despite tweaking her knee during morning practice.
Paerson put up the fastest first run and made it stand up with the second-best final trip, cutting through dense fog, pushing
"Sometimes she surprises even me," said her father and coach, Anders. "I saw her eyes when she came down. She was in a tunnel. She didn't hear and see — just the gates. She was so

focused."
"She deserves the gold medal." Kostelic said.
SUMMER GAMES
Beijing attracts early hype for 2008 event
BY CHARLES HUTZLER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURIN, Italy — Even before they're over, the Winter Games in Turin are being overshadowed by Beijing, with expectations soaring that the 2008 Summer Olympics will be like none other.
"The Beijing Games are like the Olympics to the power of two," said Scott Kronick, head of China operations for Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide, who spent a week in Turin researching for the Beijing Games.
Even for an event prone to hype, the buzz over Beijing is truly Olympic. Major players, from the International Olympic Committee to the corporate sponsors who help fund the games, anticipate that the first ever Olympics in China will generate more attention and money than ever.
The Beijing Games offer an irresistible combination, bringing together the globally popular sporting extravaganza with
Beijing will host the first Olympics held in a developing nation in 20 years. For the IOC and Olympic sponsors, that means the opportunity to tap a new, increasingly affluent market of avid sports fans and consumers.
uria — to announce the host's arrival on the world stage. Turin saw the games as an opportunity to refashion its image from a rust-belt manufacturing center to a tourist destination. But China's communist government hopes 2008 will transform its relationship with the world and with its own people.
a China that is a fast growing large economy and a rapidly rising geopolitical presence.
Few hosts have as much riding on the games as Beijing. Past Olympics have been billed as coming-out parties — think 1964 in Tokyo or 2000 for Aus-
"We want to convey the image of a China that is more open and that is making progress," said Jiang Xiaoyu, a senior official with the Beijing organizing committee.

Bugeaters share unusual origin

KANSAN SPORTSMWTER
Editor's note: This week's team profile features Jim Lusk and Brent Uhrig, Omaha, Neb., seniors, and members of The Bugeaters men's intramural basketball team. The Bugeaters finished the regular season 0-2-1.
Riffel: How did your team get its name?
Lusk: The initiation requirement is to consume 37 different types of bugs — none of this weak ladybug stuff either.
Lusk: We like to bang our sticks on the boards and chant "quack," beginning at a low volume and giving a nice crescendo from there.
Riffel: Does your team have a motto, chant or cheer?
Riffel: What are your team's expectations for the season?
Lusk: We would like to score at least 19 legitimate baskets.
Riffel: How did your team form?
Uhrig: That, and execute a flawless three-man weave.
Uhrig: We were actually involved in a heated locker room debate about this the other day. Four of us are leaning toward theories of evolution and the other four toward
intelligent design.
Riffel: How does your team celebrate a victory?
Uhrig: We eat large turkey legs, two at a time, and drink mead from jewel encrusted goblets. Then we like to head outside of town and pillage the first village we come to.
Riffel: Interesting. What
makes your team different from other intramural teams?
Uhrig: We all have different dads.
Riffel: What are you studying at the University of Kansas?
Uhrig: Mechanical Engineering.
Lusk: Finance.
Riffel: What is your favorite sports team?
Lusk: Kansas Jayhawks.
Uhrig; Nebraska Cornhusker football.
Riffel: What is your favorite high school memory?
Lusk: Playing ice hockey.
Uhrig: The Denver Broncos winning two Super Bowls.

"I just need to focus a lot more than I have been. I can take another step up." Giles said.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A
Giles
Giles began the season in the starting lineup next to sophomore center Sasha Kaun, but after nine games, there was no consistency with two near-seven-footers on the floor together.
Giles said that he and Kaun were unable to click with their time together on the floor. Kaun and Giles both prefer playing center, and neither were able to grasp the power forward position.
Now Self uses Giles with sophomore forward Darnell Jackson and Kaun with freshman forward Julian Wright.
Productive play from Giles will be a key in how far Kansas goes in the postseason. Giles said he was ready for that challenge.
It is apparent that Giles has gelled more with Jackson. The offense has been more effective when the two are together on the floor rather than when Giles and Kaun
played together.
"It was great to see CJ make some shots and Darnell knocking down shots,"Self said."Those are all positive things."
Both Giles and Jackson showed off their outside games against Baylor. They each hit jumpers from the free-throw line, and Giles had a hook shot from the right side that fell.
The Kansas backcourt has led the way offensively this season, but with the frontcourt combining for 46 points against Baylor, the team has proven to have other offensive
weapons than its talented guards.
"It is real important that we are counting on the big men to score for us," freshman guard Brandon Rush said. "I think they are doing a real good job right now."
The frontcourt will have its hands full on Saturday against Texas' talented frontcourt of LaMarcus Aldridge and Brad Buckman. The game could show whether the team can take it to that next level that Self discussed.

TENNIS
Freshman leads way for ranked Jayhawks
Coming off a victory against No. 74 Louisville, the Kansas tennis team made the leap into the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings at No. 75 for the first time since February 2004.
Freshman Kenia Bukina of Obninsk, Russia, is still ranked in the singles rankings by the ITA. She was ranked No. 79 before dropping two spots to No. 81, but still holds the number one spot on the team.
The Kansas Jayhawks will take a four-match winning streak to Fayetteville, Ark., on Saturday to play the No. 60 Arkansas Razorbacks. The team will then head to Tulsa, Okla., to take on the No. 72 Tulsa Golden Hurricane on Sunday.
Olden Hurricane on Sunday Kansas has a record of 4-1.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) **★★** You are on top of your game. Listen to others' opinions. You need to be sensitive to them. Think carefully. Your intuition comes through if you use it. You will be pleased.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)*****
Do your own research and find out the facts. Others might not intend to, but they mix up your priorities. Friends tend to act out of the blue. Talk about your feelings. Bright ideas come forward through discussions.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ******
Togetherness happens easily, and you relate to someone more clearly than you have in a while. Sometimes you might wonder what your limits are and what is important. Discussions help you isolate this fact.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)*****
Others are demanding, and you can
meet their demands - if you so choose.
Laughter could be the response to sharing
some heavy feelings. Investigate
and make decisions that work for you.
You don't have to please everyone all the time.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)★★★
Expenses keep bubbling forth, hitting a new crescendo. You might wonder how you are ever going to get this all under control. Discuss this issue with those who are most affected by it. They might have some good ideas.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)***
Chill out with the knowledge that you are getting as much done as possible.
You might get sidetracked by a conversation or two. Listen to the feedback you get involving a situation or project.
Be forthright.

Return calls.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)★★★
The less said, the better. You have a strong intuitive sense, though you might be not willing or able to act on it just yet. You are in a position to judge a risk and find alternatives if you aren't comfortable.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)★★★ Handle a personal matter with the dignity that your sign is known for. Realize that your limits will help you understand what needs to happen for a situation or project to work. Spontaneity energizes you. Take a walk.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)***** You playfulness comes out in meetings and in nearly any situation that comes along. Inevitably, there are limits to what works. You might need to calm down in order to achieve long-term results.

Giles grabs more boards, helps 'Hawks
BY RYAN COLAIANNI rcolaianni@kansan.com KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITER
Kansas coach Bill Self knows that his team can take it to an even higher level, and that all depends on center CI Giles.
"I think this team can be a lot better." Self said. "With the emergence of CJ, if he continues to play well, we still haven't peaked out yet I don't believe."
Giles has been more active in the past few games. He scored in double-digits against Baylor Tuesday. It was his first since an early January contest against Kentucky.
"If I go out, and go run and block shots and rebound, and box out and do all the little things consistently defensively, my offense will come." Giles said.
---
Giles
His size and length are what
NBA scouts could be drooling over as a prototypical athletic center in the NBA. He has struggled at times this season, but has recently put it all together. He has been grabbing more rebounds and altering more shots when he is in the game. In the first four conference games this year, Giles had a total of seven rebounds. He almost outdid that number with six against Baylor. In the last four conference games, he has had 20 rebounds.
"The biggest thing that he is doing is that he is going after balls, he is blocking shots," Self said. "There is a whole other dimension that this team really hasn't seen consistently yet."

Can you see your 'Self' as a Tiger?

Missouri fans must have been asking themselves, "What if?" a lot lately. What if someone other than
RYAN SCHNEIDER
rschneider@kansan.com
What if someone other than Thomas Gardner was capable of scoring on offense? What if Brandon Rush had followed in the footsteps of his older brother Kareem and donned the black and gold? What if Bill Self had become Missouri's coach?
Don't laugh. That last scenario almost happened. That's right, the man who currently leads the jayhawks could have been the one you taunt.
Missouri Athletics Director Mike Alden had quite a decision to make following the retirement of long-time coach Norm Stewart
in 1999. He ultimately narrowed his list down to a top Duke assistant, Quin Snyder, and a rising head coach at Tulsa, Self.
In the spring of 1999, Snyder was considered among the hottest coaching prospects in the nation. As Duke's top recruiter, Snyder
brought in several of the nation's top players, including future All-Americans Carlos Boozer and Shane Battier. He seemed destined to recruit Duke's winning aura in the Midwest.
Self was a young, charismatic coach who had a way with players, fans and recruits. His resume, at the time, included postseason appearances at Oral Roberts and Tulsa.
Though Self eventually withdrew his name from consideration for the Missouri job, it's hard to imagine that the roles in last Saturday's Border Showdown could have been reversed with Self on the Tiger's bench.

Kansas leads but can't win at Texas Tech
Senior guard Keylee Brown and freshman forward Marija Zinic fight for a rebound with Texas Tech forward Alesha Roberston during the first half of the women's basketball game at the United Spirit Arena Wednesday night in Lubbock, Texas. Texas Tech defeated Kansas 62-50.

KANSA STAFF WRITER
The women's basketball team held its own for most of last night's game in a hostile road environment, eventually falling 62-50 to Texas Tech.
The Jayhawks led early in the second half, and with five minutes to play, the Red Raiders led by only four. But a pair of three-pointers sparked an 8-2 run that put Kansas away.
It was not a surprising loss, as Texas Tech is considered one of the nation's premier college basketball teams. Texas Tech has not lost a Big 12 home game this season and last night's crowd of more than 9,000 people contributed to unfriendly surroundings for the Jayhawks.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said after the game that teams that depended on offense had been struggling in the conference this year.
Last night's game provided an intriguing match-up in the paint, as Jayhawk senior forward Crystal Kemp went up against Red Raider senior forward LaToya Davis.
Davis had the hot shooting touch, making nine of 11 shots and scoring 21 points in her 38 minutes of play.
"I think you can still win ugly in this league," she said. "There's a lot of people whose offensive numbers are down."
"I thought Crystal did a great job of handling the double-team," Henrickson said. "I thought she made great passing decisions in the second half."
Kemp put up 12 points, but mainly served in a passing role as she was double-teamed every time she touched the ball.
Those passes often found their way to sophomore forward Taylor McIntosh, who had a career-high 14 points and nine rebounds.
Henrickson said she was encouraged by the team's defensive performance. Coming into the game, Kansas was giving up an average of 66 points per game, but was able to hold the Red Raiders to just 62.
Senior guard Erica Hallman led the team in scoring with 15 points, making six of her 16 shots from the field.
It was Kansas' final road
The last time Kansas won a road game against a Big 12 South team was in 2003, when the Jayhawks defeated Texas A&M 64-57 in College Station, Texas.
game of the season, meaning the team will finish the season 1-7 away from Allen Fieldhouse. The lone victory came in Ames, Iowa against Iowa State.
Kansas will finish the season with home games against two rivals. Kansas will play host to Missouri in the Border Showdown on Saturday morning at
The final game of the season will be a Thursday night game against the Kansas State Wildcats, who are currently on the bubble of qualifying for the NCAA tournament. That game tips off at 7 p.m. and will be televised nationally on CSTV.
"If I need to beg, I'll beg to get people to come help us create an atmosphere," Henrickson said.
11 a.m. That game is a rematch of one that was tightly contested in Columbia.

Transfer filling gap in outfield
The Kansas baseball team wasn't expected to need a replacement for team captain and senior outfielder Matt Baty until next season. However, it appears the Jayhawks have found his successor in junior college transfer Kyle Murphy.
Murphy got his chance to prove himself when Baty went down with a knee injury early in the season. While Baty is still a member of the team and is in no danger of losing his starting
1
spot, Murphy has proven capable of stepping in for him when needed.
"He's a guy that, you take me out, you're not losing anything when he goes in," said Baty, who has recovered from the injury.
---
In 10 appearances this season, Murphy is batting .308 with one home run, two runs scored, four RBI and a .692 slugging percentage. Murphy has also played flawless defense with 16 putouts in as many chances.

SUPERFOODS:
BITE
HERE THEY COME TO SAVE THE DAY
Fad diets, step aside. A genuine health hero has arrived.
While the thought of a turkey in tights ridding the nutrient universe of processed eats might be laughable, the concept of "superfoods" is the real deal for some health experts.
Steven Pratt and Kathy Matthews, authors of SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life and SuperFoods HealthStyle: Proven Strategies for Lifelong Health, are two experts who have built an entire diet around superfoods. In their books, Pratt and Matthews claim food is more than bad or good in terms of making us fat. Rather, certain foods can mean the difference between bad or good vision, sickness or health and a short or long life.
We are literally eating ourselves to death, either by eating too much of the wrong things or not enough of the good things, i.e. "superfoods," Pratt and Matthews say. Our wicked
Western ways are sending us to an early grave. And only superfoods can save us.
So what exactly is a superfood?
"The term 'superfood' is a quick way to say foods that are particularly nutrient-dense and that contain vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals or other bioactive compounds that may prevent disease, improve health or promote longevity," says Beverly Clevidence, Ph.D, and research leader at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Diet and Human Performance Laboratory.
Whew.
In a nutshell, it's a food that packs a nutritional punch. Antioxidants. Heart-healthy fats. Oodles of vitamins. These foods have it all.
Different groups and authors pick their own versions of superfoods, Clevidence says, but foods most
likely to wear the crown are fruits, vegetables, lean protein, low-fat dairy and whole grains (does this sound suspiciously like the food pyramid?).
Turkey, walnuts, tomatoes and tea are some of the other so-called superfoods garnering attention in the diet world. All were selected by Pratt and Matthews for their ability to supposedly ward off or prevent diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, some cancers and Alzheimer's disease.
However, the current evidence that any particular food can prevent cancer or heart disease in humans is very weak. Clevidence says.
But some scientists still see the potential in these superfoods for disease prevention, which explains the influx of superfood diets on the shelves next to last year's dusty South Beach Diet books. Strong evidence
exists that supports the idea that groups of people who eat a lot of fruits and vegetables are less likely to develop chronic diseases such as heart disease or cancer.
When it comes down to it, superfoods are the epitome of good nutrition.
Jamie Booth, Lebow senior, says tomatoes are her favorite superfood — she likes to eat them whole — and while she thinks superfoods are undeniably healthy, she is skeptical as to whether they prevent diseases.
Joshua Ehrenfeld, Springfield, Mo. senior, cites turkey as his superfood of choice. He is unsure of the benefits as well, but says he's heard they can slow the aging process.
KIT LEFFLER
While it's probably premature to dub superfoods as the new fountain of youth or the cure for cancer, there's no doubt these foods are chock-full of nutritional value. When it comes down to it, superfoods are the epitome of good nutrition.
So, really, what dietitians have been attempting to get us to eat for years is finally the diet du jour. And it's all right there in your local supermarket. Just browse the produce aisle, the deli and the bakery.
The bottom line is that lots of different foods are good for us — but no one magical food can provide all the nutrients we need, says Ann Chapman, registered dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Clevidence, the USDA researcher, takes it one step further.
"Consuming these foods is only one aspect of a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise, weight maintenance, strong social ties, adequate sleep and a non-smoking environment," she says.
Super-duper.

Like it or not, the wedge has wedged it's way back into style and into your closet. Stocked on the shelves now, but locked on your feet when the weather turns, you'll soon spot these corked platforms out and about. But don't bust out your pedicure too quickly, girls. You have to use discretion with these
thick-soled throwbacks. If you're going to step it up, make sure you pair them with something light and fun like cuffed capri pants or a springy skirt. Long jeans and bulky sweaters won't work with this funky footwear, so save them for a warm day.

NOTICE
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO WEASEL OUT OF A TICKET Are you on a first-name basis with highway patrol officers? If you're smart about speeding, it doesn't have to be that way.
You're speeding down K-10, oblivious to your surroundings, with the stereo blaring and the speedometer inching to the right. And then you see the flashing lights in your rearview mirror. For a moment you think they're after another car, but the police cruiser continues to advance your way.
Every year, more than 34 million people receive a traffic ticket from a police officer, according to the National Motorists Association. Chances are you're one of them. Getting pulled over for speeding ranks right up there with 8 a.m. classes, but if you're smart about it (e.g. driving no more than 10 miles over the speed limit, not riding someone's ass like a sketchy guy at a nightclub, etc.) and familiarize yourself with some of the basics, you could get out of a future speeding ticket.
Only you can prevent tickets
Only you can prevent tickets
Make your car as stealth as Knight Rider. That means the obvious avoidance of vanity license plates
Always remain alert for patrol cars. Don't think you're in the clear when one parked on the side doesn't pull you over. That officer could radio his partner stationed a few miles ahead to look out for your car and pull you over. If a patrol car pulls off an exit ramp, it's not entirely over either. They might re-enter the highway from a nearby on-ramp soon
after. Police cars coming from the other direction are just as dangerous. They have a better aim at you with their radar and can pull a U-turn quickly. These tips will help the most in not getting pulled over. Short of driving the speed limit, that is.
THINGS YOU
SHOULD NEVER SAY
TO A COP
→What's the problem
officer?
→I'm sorry
→I'll see you in court
→I know where the
jail is
→I'm a bad person
→i swear I don't have
any donuts
→Can you hold my
beer while I get my
license?
with sayings like "SPD DMN," to the more subtle, like making sure to have nothing hanging from the rear view mirror and that your ash tray is clean. (Otherwise, it just invites the officer to speculate there might be something other than cigarette butts in there.) Stay in the right lane and don't weave in and out of lanes. That way you'll blend with traffic. Radar can't tell which car is speeding in a group.
Desperate measures
So, you're already pulled over. Believe it or not, this situation can be just as stressful for the police
"Just follow the officer's instructions. That's the most important thing," says Kim Murphree, a Lawrence Police spokeswoman. She advises pulling over as far as you can to give them room, placing your hands in clear view and taking off your sunglasses.
The cop will ask loaded questions and you need to be ready. For example, let's say they ask if you knew you were going 75 mph in a 65 mph zone and you say, "No," I was only going 70."You've just admitted guilt and confirmed you exceeded
the speed limit.
"Be vague in all of your answers and don't admit to anything," says Mel Leiding, attorney and author of How to Fight Your Traffic Ticket & Win!!
At this point, having a flair for the dramatic and no shame can really help your cause. Christine Mello, Plano, Texas senior, was prepared when she got pulled over, thanks to the advice of her brother. He told her to keep ketchup packets in the glove compartment, just in case.“When the officer came up to the window all he saw was red on the seat and in my lap,” Mello says.“I told him I was having woman problems”and he let me go immediately.”
Guys can do a version of this by telling the officer first thing, in an urgent voice,"I really need to go to the bathroom...bad. Could you follow me to the
nearest rest area? The cop may be too disgusted to want to give you a ticket.
what the condition of your car says to an officer
For those who balk at referring to their bodily functions, yellow-bellied sobbing could do the trick. If the officer asks you if you are okay, say no. Be sure to actually produce some tears, because if you act meek and start shaking, they might think you're going through withdrawal. Things to say in this situation include "I'm scared because this is my first time being pulled over" (if your record is clean) or "I just broke up with my boyfriend/girlfriend and I'm really vulnerable right now." Dignity is not priority number one.
Cutting your losses
If all else fails, go down to the Douglas County

courthouse, check "guilty" on the ticket and pay double the fine anytime before your court date. It gets removed completely from your record. However, attorney Leiding says it is well worth the effort to go for the court appearance, plead "non-guilty" and be ready to defend your case. Remember, the officer has to prove your guilt and to do so, they have to establish that the radar was in working order and used appropriately. Sometimes they forget to do this. He also says half the time the officer doesn't even show up, because they are too busy to go to court. In both cases, your ticket will be thrown out and you don't have to pay a thing.

Let's talk about sex
A guide to knowing if you're ready
by Rachel Zupek
When it comes to sex, the first time can be the worst time if you aren't ready. Like every other "first in life," there goes a backward. When you're losing your virginity or sleeping with a new partner, the decision to have sex is
the decision to have sex is a big one.
But many people don't treat it that way. In a national study, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 79.5 percent of 18 to 24-year-old college students had sexual intercourse. An additional survey by Smarter Sex, an organization that promotes sexual education, students' sexual health, found that 34 percent of men and 24 percent of women surveyed said sex wasn't planned, and that things
went further than they'd expected.
probably not ready to have sex in. an ideal world, wwd all sit down with our partners and talk about sexual histories. What happens when it comes down those seconds before
Sex in a relationship should happen when both people feel comfortable with each other and they're doing it for good reasons. For example, professor extusifice of social welfare.

So how will you know you're really ready? Follow these steps to be sure you're ready to do the deed.
Step 1:Have "the Talk"
Here's a test if you can't say "penis" or "vagina" in front of your partner, you're
Daly says there is no easy way to talk about sexual concerns except to just do it. Bottom line! If you can't talk about sex or it seems uncomfortable, then sex will be too. If you can't bear the heat of your sex before it happens, do it before it happens, do everyone a favor and at least cover your bases by wearing a condom.
sex and you're awkwardly figuring out who has a condom.
Step 2: Consider this...
"Guys can be cavalier
about pregnancy', says Lexey London,
sex columnist for www.korkumedia.com.
But they don't have to carry a baby for nine months.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly one-third of all abortions performed in the United States are on 20- to 24-year-old women. Clearly, the issue here is birth control. Make sure somebody — better yet, baby — has it.
Next, consider why you're having sex.
Do you want to, or does your partner want you to?
Be careful not to use sex for "non-sex" reasons, Dailey says.
Coe, who has been in both sexual and non-sexual relationships, says sex is just that important to a relationship. "A relationship is about the person you're with, not about what you do with them," he says.
"If your relationship is going in the crapper, it's the wrong reason to screw," he says.
Finally, think about how the other person feels.
The time is right when you know the weight of the relationship does not lie in one night, says Lauren, Wichita freshman.
When it comes to sex, say Jae Coe, Wichita senior, girls should remember that is an automatic and deeper connection for females. "Gangs for some reason can just sleep with a girl and think nothing of it." Coe says. "Girls just get more emotional about it and bond more with the situation."
There is a grain of truth to Coe's statement, Daly says, but be cautious about generalizations. "Many men are afraid of being used in their relationships" Daly says.
cake. He's just the icking "Lauren says." Adam, Wichita freshman, agrees. First-season sex shouldn't be random because knowing your partner and having a connection is important to success through the options ultimately leads to a more satisfying outcome.
Step 3: Timing
You've had the talk. You've considered the positives — and the negatives. Now what?
Sex is healthy in a solid relationship, though not essential. Adam says, "It does build a special bond and connection between us, so that other activities can't create." he says.
"The person you care about is the cake... sex is just the icing."Lauren says.
Satisfying or not, some do make the mistake of having sex before they're ready. If you're not ready, London says you may feel frustration or anger and asks to ask yourself how you'll feel about the other person afterward.
Contain to popular belief, it is possible to have a loving relationship without sex. "There's a long list of things people can do that are relevant, enjoyable and for a lot of people, a whole list of a lot more people in intercourse." Daleys笑 Students agree.
If you can honestly say you're feel good about it, and you'll look forward to seeing the other person, you're probably ready, but you don't know if they or women, no reason to rush into it.
The first time you have sex is a milestone, remember it, only happens once. If you have doubts, don't do it. Sex is great — don't be it by crying for it.

Step 4: Sex isn't everything

Did you know...?
- "ithyphallophobia" is a morbid fear of seeing, thinking about, or having an erect penis.
- *A man's beard grows fastest when he anticipates sex.
- Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
- Sex is a beauty treatment.
Scientists find that when women make love they produce hairshine. When women make hairshine their hair shine and skin smooth.

NO STABILITY: LIFE ON THE STREET
A deep look into the society of Lawrence's homeless

They start lining up in the hallway around 6:30 a.m. Sleepy-eyed but ready for breakfast, some make small talk while others sit quietly waiting for the doors to open and veteran volunteer Clark Keffer to call, "Good morning and welcome to the Jubilee Café."
At 7, the crowd shuffles into the church's dining hall. The aroma of bacon and coffee floats through the air as people find their way to tables. Regulars take their usual seats, and new guests fill the others. They come from all over the country, from Tennessee to Washington. At table 14, Louis quietly sips on his coffee and looks over the newspaper. You can't understand Howard's muffled slur because he's lost most of his teeth in his old age, but it doesn't really matter because he can't hear you very well anyway. Bill keeps mostly to himself, but smiles at people as they pass.
Volunteers walk around with menus to take the guests' breakfast orders. Ten minutes later the kitchen echoes with shouts of servers names as orders slide across the counter, ready to go to their tables. Guests munch on biscuits and gravy and apple cinnamon pancakes, and the café comes to life. A dull roar arises as hellos are shouted and the latest news is exchanged. Jay's laugh echoes through the dining hall as he talks with his buddies about last night's rerun of In Living Color.
SEYMOUR
These people eat together, sleep together and live together. Some aren't very clean. Some aren't very sane. They come from the Deep South and western Kansas, from small towns and inner cities, from broken homes and loving families. But they have one thing in common: they are homeless.
Homeless people are often invisible, says Keffer, Lawrence resident and one of the founders of the Jubilee Café, 946 Vermont St. They're given a number and food is slopped onto their plates at a soup
kitchen. They sleep on a thin mat on the floor of a gymnasium with the lights partly dimmed. They wander around town with nowhere to go and nothing to do, because there's not anything or anyone out there for them, Keffer says. Although they live in the same city as students, faculty and people who work downtown, life on the street is a far cry from the suburbia that so many KU students know.
For those living on the street, the life seen on TV is like make-believe, Keffer says. "It seems so superficial. It's normal life to a lot of people, but it's still fantasy to homeless people. It's so out there for them."
More common than you think. Nationally, there are approximately
3. 5 million people who end up homeless at some point each year. Children make up 1.35 million of them, according to the National Coalition for the Homeless, a national network of people committed to ending homelessness.

— Raleigh Worthington, Lawrence homeless resident
There are two kinds of homeless people: the chronically homeless and the transient homeless. It's a fluid community, which makes it difficult to track how many homeless individuals there are in Lawrence. The City of Lawrence Practitioner's Panel counted 211 homeless people in June 2003, a 63 percent increase from 134 in December 2001. In 2005, the Lawrence Community Shelter, 214 W. $ _{10} $ th St., which also offers its services to impoverished people with homes, served 424 separate individuals between July and December.
134 homeless individuals showed that 71 percent were men, according to the panel.
The majority of Lawrence homeless are male. A 2001 survey of

Demographics of the U.S. homeless population, according to the National Coalition for the Homeless.
Raleigh Worthington, Lawrence resident, has been homeless for a little more than a year. He remembers the exact day he became homeless: Oct.. 4, 2004. After losing his job and using up his unemployment benefits from the government, Worthington found himself on the street. He now spends his days doing laundry, reading at the public library, looking for work and "dumpster-diving." He goes around town picking up aluminum cans and other metals to recycle. Behind fraternity houses is a good place to look, he says. Worthington takes his cans to the $12^{th}$ and Haskell
In 2003, 39 percent of the homeless population was under 18. In 2004, 25 percent was ages 25 to 34 and 6 percent was 55 to 64-years-old.
In 2004, 41 percent of the homeless was single men, and 14 percent was single women.
Families and children make up about 40 percent of the homeless population.
In 2004, 49 percent of homeless was African-American, 35 percent Caucasian, 13 percent Hispanic, 2 percent Native American and 1 percent Asian.
Approximately 23 percent of single, homeless adults suffer from some form of severe and persistent mental illness.
Veterans made up 70 percent of the homeless population in 2004.
In 2004,30 percent of homeless adults suffered from drug or alcohol addiction.
independence than having to be inside a shelter by closing time and getting up the next morning when the staff wakes him up, Worthington says. He says that being homeless makes him feel run-down and uncomfortable.
"I feel alone a lot," he says. "You're surrounded by a lot of people all the time, so you're not really lonely, but you still feel alone. You develop distrust of people and put this wall up around you."
Worthington sleeps mostly at the Salvation Army, 946 New Hampshire St., but he also spends time "couch surfing" at friends' homes. Every once in awhile he sleeps outside, but only by choice, he says. Sleeping outside gives him a liberating feeling and more

Winding up on the street
More than 1 percent of the U.S. population is homeless, according to the Urban Institute, an independent nonpartisan center that analyzes urban problems.
"Who knows what is going through someone's mind who has been unemployed for a long while and is insecure about working again?" Henderson asks.
Worthington's situation is common among the homeless population. People often become homeless after losing a job or because they've been unemployed for a while.
Loring Henderson, executive director of LCS, says case managers at the shelter work with homeless people to sort out their personal problems about finding a job. They work on overcoming thoughts like "my boss doesn't like me" or "my coworkers are in a different clique that I can't join."
Besides unemployment, many people are homeless because of mental illness. Back at Jubilee, a man clad in protective earmuffs is talking to himself and eating breakfast. A man in a dirty, down-filled coat and silent headphones stares blankly into space. Another man tells a volunteer his newest conspiracy theory about why the governor needs to be impeached.
Approximately 23 percent of the single adult homeless population suffers from some form of severe and persistent mental illness, according to the National Coalition for the Homeless.
A huge percentage of the chronically homeless is mentally ill, which can make it hard to have and maintain a job. Henderson says.
Alcoholanddrugaddictionarealso huge factors behind homelessness. Keffer, one of the founders of Jubilee Café, was homeless from 1976 to 1980.The only thing he brought back from the Vietnam War, he says, was his alcoholism.
He couldn't hold a job and never had any money because he'd "drink it all up," he recalls. In his drinking days, he would leave Lawrence when his relatives were in town. It was easier to be homeless some place else. He didn't want to embarrass his family with his alcoholism, he says.
He hitchhiked from town to town, never staying anywhere more than a few days, sleeping on highway on-ramps and camping outside city limits. The longest time he ever spent in one place was a couple of weeks — maybe.
Koffe will never forget Dec. 18, 1978, he says, because it's the dav
that changed his life. While driving 50 miles per hour, he slammed his motorcycle into a passing car. He wasn't wearing a helmet. And he had been drinking.
"Everything I knew my whole life was gone — like that," Keffer says, snapping his fingers.
He lived through the accident but no longer can use his left arm, which he now tightly straps in a sling across his chest. After 20 years of atrophy, the injured arm is significantly smaller than his right one.
Some of the guests Keeper serves at Jubilee are sober. Others aren't. You can smell the alcohol as they enter the dining hall, still drunk from the day before. They stumble to their chairs and drink cup after cup of coffee in a vain attempt to get sober.
After his accident, Keffer decided to get sober. The mental, physical and spiritual bankruptcy of drinking led him to recover, he says. He joined Alcoholics Anonymous and has been sober since Feb. 17, 1983.
Of the two shelters in Lawrence, LCS classifies as a "wet shelter," meaning that people don't have to be sober to sleep there. LCS provides 21 sleeping spaces, but it's working to add 10 more, says Henderson, LCS director.
At the Salvation Army, however, the staff performs Breathalyzer tests at the door after 8 p.m. It's not a zero-tolerance shelter though, says Mathew Faulk, case manager at the Salvation Army.
The shelter has a limit of .04 percent, which is equivalent to a few beers, Faulk says. The Salvation Army has a capacity of 85, and it usually holds about 50 people a night.

Trying to get off the street
The most difficult thing about being homeless is getting a job, says Leighton Watts, Lawrence resident. Watts, a 23-year-old Kansas City, Kan. native, spent six months at the Salvation Army while searching for a job and a home. Most job applications require an address. Homeless people don't have one. Watts would put his Kansas City, Kan., address on job applications, and, if confronted about

it, he would say he was new to town and not settled yet. Most employers want people to already be self-sufficient, Keffer says. Seeing a question for a driver's license or telephone number may not seem like a big deal, but, to homeless people, it can be discouraging. They don't have anything to fill in the blank.
Worthington has worked construction, at the K-Mart distribution center and other odd jobs, but none of them were permanent. In fact, he has shuffled through so many jobs that he talks about losing work like it's a regular event. He casually describes his last job, where he poured cement. He thought it was stable."But then," he adds, "I guess it wasn't."

Watts says he had an advantage when looking for a job because people
"After a while, you come to learn that nothing is permanent." Worthington says. "But if you have a job, you can at least look down the tunnel and see the light. You may not be able to get down there yet, but you know you can continue to work and sustain yourself."
Most jobs available to homeless people are short-term, pick-up jobs, Henderson says. Employers call LCS for day-job arrangements, which are mostly manual labor tasks like raking leaves, cleaning out old homes or moving and lifting.
The National Coalition for the Homeless calls these types of arrangements "non-standard work." Approximately 30 percent of workers in 1997 had non-standard jobs, which
often didn't realize he was homeless because of the way he dressed. He carries a toothbrush in his pocket, keeps himself clean and doesn't wear the same clothes two days in a row. He has worked as a line server in Oliver Hall, a telemarketer, a waiter and he now washes dishes at the Eldridge Hotel.

But getting a job doesn't guarantee a place to live. Watts says.
"We're like a chain. You're only as strong as your weakest link. Our society is only as strong as our poorest member."
In August 2004, he got an apartment with a roommate but found himself back at the Salvation Army after he and his roommate lost their jobs.

He now has an apartment of his own and has sustained himself for about seven months, but he talks about being homeless as if it's still a possibility. He says he bought a cell phone to keep in contact with friends and family, especially in case he winds up homeless again.

As breakfast winds down at Jubilee, Michael finishes his meal and sits behind the piano. He plays everything from Mozart's "Sonata in A Major" to Schroeder's Charlie Brown piano solo. As the music sounds, Louis peers into the kitchen to see if there's any bacon left, the crispy kind that he loves.
It's 8 a.m., only an hour after everyone rolled into the dining hall, and they start packing up their stuff — for many, pretty much everything they own. Some grab a to-go box of food to take to a friend who was too sick to come this morning or just to have something to eat later in the day.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST TURNOFF FOR A GUY? ALICIA, FRESHMAN
Jessica: According to my sources, the biggest turnoffs for guys are as follows: snobs, sluts, teases, bad breath, unshaven legs, mustaches, sideburns, fat rolls, overly skinny girls, lack of confidence, girls who can't hold their liquor, mouth girls, stupidity, close-mindedness, indecisiveness, oh, and STDs... or STIs??
Brian: The more involved we are with a girl, the harder it is to turn us off from her. If we just meet a girl, and find out five minutes later she has a yeast infection, we'll probably get the hell out of there. Give us the same information in a long-term relationship, and we'll try to make her as comfortable as
possible, even going as far as buying her some Monistat. There is one thing that will turn off any guy, no matter how interested we are in any girl or guy; overzealousness. If the first time you meet a guy, you tell him that you are in love with him and want to marry him, well, you might as well kiss that boy goodbye. Date him a few months and start talking about kids? Next time you call his cell phone, you might get Miguel's voice mail. Most guys will stick around through the random sex noises, the 3 a.m. crying spells or the drunken confessions. Talking about what "our house" will be like in 15 years is a sure-fire way to run off any new man.
I LOVE GIVING THE SHOCKER TO THE LADIES. DOES THIS MAKE ME A DOMINEERING ASSHOLE? DICK, JUNIOR
shouldn't be playing around in a bedroom or in the back of a car.
Brian: Hell no are you kidding? Who wouldn't like to dabble in new things? And boy do I mean dabble | There is always something new you can try in life and the bedroom is the perfect place for experimentation. This especially goes for the girls you are experimenting on if they aren't open enough to receive a 'shocking sexual surprise' then they
Jessica: So Dick you mean to tell me that you enjoy sticking two in the pink and one in the stink? Yeah, you're really sick. If you only do it to humiliate a girl or dominate her, then you are in fact an asshole. If you do it because your girl really enjoys it and you want to please her then that's your prologue.
MY EX-BOYFRIEND CALLS ME ALL THE TIME AND I'M DATING SOMEONE NEW NOW. SHOULD I TELL MY NEW BOYFRIEND OR NOT? — CONNIE, SOPHOMORE
Jessica: I don't think your boyfriend needs to know that your ex is still hung up on you. However, if you're still hung up on your ex and his calls elicit feelings and sparks from you, the new guy needs to know. Not still into your ex? Tell him to back off so you can pursue this new relationship with the new man. Hopefully, he'll respect that. If he doesn't, grow a mustache. From what I've heard, that's, like, the biggest turn-off ever.
Brian: Yes, you need to tell your new boyfriend. In fact, let him take care of the guy. Next time Mr.Ex calls, let your current boyfriend answer the phone. By giving your new boyfriend this type of responsibility, it'll show him that you trust him to take care of and protect you. Basically, he'll feel more manly and special. (Yes, we men like to feel special and needed tool!) Have him talk to Mr. Ex, explain to him that he is your new boyfriend and make sure he establishes that Mr. Ex shouldn't be calling you anymore. An ideal sentence to get this point across would include the words hacksaw, pliers and testicles. Good luck!

Christianity's "Fat Tuesday" was originally designed to be a last bacchanal blowout before the relative sobriety and misery of Lent. Commercialized like everything else, the booze-and-boobs festivities bring a midweek celebration on Feb. 28. Whether you're at a bar party or just flashing your roommates at home, be sure to party.

The craft of street stenciling
Cloaked in the darkness of twilight, two stencil pirates walk nonchalantly across the deserted parking lot toward their shadowed canvas: a slab of upright concrete.The coast is clear.One continues to stand guard while the other pulls out a stencil cut from a pizza box and holds
It at arm's length against the wall. Arming himself with a can of blue spray paint, he holds down the nozzle and waves his arm across the template. As he carefully pulls the stiff board away, Colonel Sanders stares back at him, grimacing.
Across campus, multiple images of Colonel Sanders, as well as other stenciled art, mark spaces in public view. Painted spiders crawl along Jayhawk Boulevard.
WHAT IS A STENCIL PIRATE?
As far as he knows, Josh MacPhee, author of Stencil Pirates: A Global Survey of Street Stencilling, is the first to use the term. MacPhee says that a stencil pirate is an artist capturing a public space to express his or her own message.
along Jaykaw booth hall, meandering between buildings and into women's restrooms. Sidewalks near Haworth Hall echo the message "1 More Dead" beneath a mass grave of bodies, bloodied with spattered red paint. In front of the Art and Design Building, Sanders' silhouette still marks the entrance, but the paint has been removed — evidence that not everyone accepts these images as legitimate art.
by Charissa Young
Stenciling is one of the oldest forms of art, dating to about 2000 B.C., says Josh MacPhee, author of Stencil Pirates: A Global Survey of Street Stenciling and a street stencil artist himself. People made prints in caves by chewing pigmented berries and spitting the color out around their hands. Artists now use stenciling as a form of self-expression.
According to Lawrence ordinance 6782, "Any person who writes, prints, marks, sprays, scratches, scrawls, paints, draws, etches or other affixes graffiti upon any property, publicly owned or privately owned, without the consent of the property owner shall
"Today, artists are putting art on the street to contest the privatization of public spaces, and universities are removing it without asking the public their opinion on the matter. Instead of wasting time and energy removing graffiti and street stencils, the money could be better spent going towards your education," MacPhee says.
One of the Colonel Sanders creators, a 21-year-old Lawrence resident, defends his exhibition as a contribution to the public.
"There's stencil art all over Lawrence. In adding my own, I'm just doing my part to beautify the city," he says.
Because street art is not profitable, he says he is driven by the exposure of his art to the world.
"How many people actually go into galleries? By forcing my art into part of the urban environment, people don't have to go out of their way to see it. It's right out there for everyone," he says.
The Colonel Sanders duo and other stencil street artists paint coverty because this medium is illegal.
be guilty of a municipal offense." The maximum punishment upon conviction includes a $1,000 fine and a six-month imprisonment.
"I try to be respectful of private property, and I won't paint on expensive buildings. I try to be sensitive to the surroundings, so I'm not going to go stencil on Grandpa Joe's family farm," the 21-year-old artist says.
Some stencil artists put
their work in galleries to avoid criminal activity.
Local artist Dave Loewenstein is recognized for his vibrant murals, such as The Hobbs Mural Project on $11^{\mathrm{th}}$ and Delaware streets, but he has developed an affinity for stencil art. Loewenstein: recently had an exhibition of stencil art, entitled SNAFU, Situation Normal All Fucked Up. The paper stencils were displayed at The Olive Gallery, 15 E. Eighth Street.
A popular piece in the show, "October Surprise," featured George W. Bush and Dick Cheney making a big revelation before the November election,unmasking themselves to show morbid skulls beneath.
Stencils appeal to Loewenstein because of the ease of producing multiples of the same image to present his own messages to the public.
"We're so bombarded with political messages from those in power and advertisers, but where's the voice of the rest of us? I'm not saying that artists are the voice of the rest of us, but we're at least someone,"Loewenstein says.
The message behind stencil street art is more difficult to decipher because the viewer can't contact the artist. The Colonel Sanders image that greets you in numerous places on campus is underlined with the message "Father Figure." It could be a comment on current politics, the fast food industry or family relations, but the artist is not letting on to any specifics.
"I try not to be overtly political or too over the top in the message. I'm subtle. I basically want to ignite people and their thoughts. I'm not supposed to tell you the whole story. It's like a mystery or a fun game for people to try and figure it out," he says.

"It looks like a random act of someone who drank a little too much. If the artist made his own stencils, then yeah, I guess it could be art. Here, I think the artist uses the colonel to represent good chicken."

"Yeah, I think it's art. I like the red and blue stencils that look like Dale Earnhardt Jr. and that chicken guy. Didn't they both just die? Maybe the artist is paying homage to race car drivers and chicken makers."

Freedomland
MOVIE
You'd think a film would be at least decent with such veteran and talented actors as Julianne Moore, Edie Falco and Samuel L. Jackson in the title roles. Freedomland has all three
actors and still manages to be a cliched, stereotypical mess of a thriller. Advertised as a film dealing with child kidnapping and racial tension in an urban neighborhood,Freedomland
fails to deliver either.
The talented Julianne Moore plays a poorly educated, mentally unstable mother. After her son is inadvertently kidnapped during a carjacking, Samuel
1000
L. Jackson's character, a seasoned cop, steps in to help find the boy. Edie Falco plays a neighborhood mother who is the head of a missing child retrieval group. What follows is a plot ridden with too many stories to tell. The film tries, and fails, to focus on four different stories; all feel abrupt.
While Freedomland has its emotionally engaging moments, mostly in Moore and Falco's scenes, the majority of the plot feels like a regurgitated, predictable Law and Order episode.
One of the reasons for the film's failure is in the meager script. Moore and Jackson's characters become so excessive it's almost laughable. All the supporting characters are ridiculously unoriginal: the angry, abrasive white cop,
the abusive black men and the sassy black woman, whose mere presence becomes a display of racial stereotypes.
Falco gives the most genuine performance and is quite moving. Moore gives her character an emotional depth that is potent at times. Jackson, despite being the main star in the film, does not impress, although he does deliver a few laughs.
Freedomland has tender and painful moments of genuine emotion, but, for the most part, the film is a genuine waste of talent.

Date Movie
MOVIE
A very wise character named David St. Hubbins once said, "There is such a fine line between stupid and clever." I would usually agree wholeheartedly with the
lead singer of Spinal Tap, but in the case of Date Movie, a Scary Movie for romantic comedies, that "fine line" is as wide as a river.
Julia Jones (Alyson Hannigan) is an overweight waitress working at her father's diner (My Big Fat Greek Wedding).She meets
BLASTER
Fragrantly, she meets a somewhat handsome British Hansell-looking-alike (a la Zoolander) and, in order to catch his eye, goes to see the "date doctor," Hitch (Hitch). Once she wins his heart, she must deal with sparring parents (Meet the Parents) and her fiancé's conniving best friend (My Best Friend's Wedding).
Many other references, puns and scenes refer to the bountiful genre of romantic comedies. Others come out of nowhere, like references to Kill Bill, or are thrown in haphazardly (e.g. Napoleon Dynamite and Wedding Crashers). Most
of these "Jokes" make you cringe, wince, roll your eyes or want to leave the theater rather than make you laugh. My only true guffaw came courtesy of Chris Harrison,
host of The Bachelor,
because I was shocked
they actually got him to
appear.
But back to the "fine line between stupid and clever." Date Movie shows no hint of cleverness, just plain stupidity and crassness. It prefers to beat you over the head with pop culture citations (Paris Hilton's Carl's Jr. burger commercial) and
fill-timed rap songs, all of which cause a disgusted shake of the head.
I mistakenly had high hopes for Date Movie. I hoped it would treat pop culture satire with respect, like Shrek. I even recommended it in "Jayplay Says." All I can say now is ... I'm sorry.

The standout track and my favorite is "Where Is My Love," which starts with Chan's beautiful voice with and has piano crawling in and out. It's a track you'll have in your head for days.

PATRICIA TAYLOR
The tale of a bride who never wed by Stefanie Graves
Two months before my wedding day, my Reem Acra couture wedding gown was up for sale on E-bay and my fiancé was living with another woman.
The night I met him, he was sitting on the edge of a pool table, drinking a bottle of beer. When a mutual friend introduced us, I hardly took notice. We were in a crowded bar and he seemed to be the quiet, almostsilent type; you know, the kind of guy who just seamlessly blends into the background.
background.
It wasn't until a few hours later that he sat down next to me and offered to buy me a beer. We carried on with small talk for a few minutes, then he turned to me and asked, "Will you go to my formal with me next weekend?" Against my better judgment, I said yes. It was that weekend that I fell in love with the tall, mysterious man whom I hadn't noticed the week before.
Three years later, that same man got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. On the bridge in front of the Campanile after a terrible snowstorm, he said that he loved me and asked if I would be with him forever. His nose was red from the cold and his outstretched arm was shaking. I will never forget that night.
I will also never forget the evening his friend showed up unannounced on my doorstep and confessed that my fiancé had been unfaithful. It was like getting punched in the stomach; had to sit down.
When we broke up, he denied ever cheating on me. But a couple of weeks later I heard that he had moved in with the other woman. What was I supposed to think? How is someone supposed to react to this kind of news? Here I was, trying to figure out what to do with a caterer, a videographer and $3,000 worth of flowers I'd never get to use. And he was busy, supposedly, moving into her apartment?
I spent those first few months after the breakup in a mixed state of shock and despair. I didn't sleep for three days and I lost 17 pounds in just over a week. Everything that I had held to be true wasn't true more. Although I put on a brave face every time someone asked what had happened (you never realize how many people know you're getting married until you're not), I was a mess inside.
I doubted every part of my being. All the reasons why he could have
possibly chosen her over me went circling through my head in never-ending rotation. I wasn't pretty enough for him and my hair wasn't just right. I had spent too much time concentrating on my schoolwork and hadn't said I love you enough. I didn't make him feel needed. I just wasn't enough.
After nervously retaking my seat.
I shot into the ladies room for a quick panic attack. To my horror, I returned to find the happy couple now sitting at my table. Who did they think they were? This was my night out and, up until then, I had been having a really good time.
Then, in a chance encounter, everything changed. A mutual friend invited me to a graduation party, which quickly turned into a night of drunken happiness at a nearby bar. There I was, sitting at a table, light-headed and sipping on my third Cape Cod, when my ex and his new girlfriend walked in and approached our table. My heart jumped into my throat.
I took the opportunity to size up this new woman. She was tall, with a solid frame and dirty-blond hair. She was outgoing and talkative, like me. She sat close to him and rubbed his upper thigh with her hand. For some reason, I began to see myself in her. So, 10 excruciating minutes and another Cape Cod later, I decided to do something that surprised even me. I reached my hand across the table and introduced myself to her.
We didn't magically become best friends and introducing myself didn't take away all of the hurt and resentment I still felt inside, but it was at that point when I started to heal. I proved to myself that I could stay strong through even the most difficult situation. That deep down inside I am not only a loving person, but someone with dignity and self-respect.
And hindsight is a magical thing. It's taught me some very important lessons about love and life over the past year. First, there is a perfect man
for me out there, somewhere, but my ex wasn't him. This experience has given me a better understanding of the kind of man I want to spend the rest of my life with and the kind of man that doesn't deserve a second glance.
Second, the best in people comes out in the worst of times. In the last 12 months, I've formed tighter relationships with my family and closest friends than I could have ever imagined. I've learned that a mother sheds the most tears when her child is hurting. I've learned that a brother will turn his back on a friendship and fraternity brother to defend his older sister. And that a best friend sometimes has to delete your ex's number from her cell phone so that she can't call him to cuss him out.
Third, as cliché as it might sound, hindsight has taught me that there are no promises in life, and that you should never stop looking for that one, true love.

Happily ever after... finally

Pamela

The tale of a bride who never wed by Stefanie Graves
SCOTT KASERMAN
Two months before my wedding day, my Reem Acra couture wedding gown was up for sale on E-bay and my fiancé was living with another woman.
The night I met him, he was sitting on the edge of a pool table, drinking a bottle of beer. When a mutual friend introduced us, I hardly took notice. We were in a crowded bar and he seemed to be the quiet, almost-silent type; you know, the kind of guy who just seamlessly blends into the background.
It wasn't until a few hours later that he sat down next to me and offered to buy me a beer. We carried on with small talk for a few minutes, then he turned to me and asked, "Will you go to my formal with me next weekend?" Against my better judgment, I said yes. It was that weekend that I fell in love with the tall, mysterious man whom I hadn't noticed the week before.
Three years later, that same man got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. On the bridge in front of the Campanile after a terrible snowstorm, he said that he loved me and asked if I would be with him forever. His nose was red from the cold and his outstretched arm was shaking. I will never forget that night.
I will also never forget the evening his friend showed up unannounced on my doorstep and confessed that my fiancé had been unfaithful. It was like getting punched in the stomach; I had to sit down.
When we broke up, he denied ever cheating on me. But a couple of weeks later I heard that he had moved in with the other woman. What was I supposed to think? How is someone supposed to react to this kind of news? Here I was, trying to figure out what to do with a caterer, a videographer and $3,000 worth of flowers I'd never get to use. And he was busy, supposedly, moving into her apartment?
I spent those first few months after the breakup in a mixed state of shock and despair. I didn't sleep for three days and I lost 17 pounds in just over a week. Everything that I had held to be true wasn't more. Although I put on a brave face every time someone asked what had happened (you never realize how many people know you're getting married until you're not), I was a mess inside.
I doubted every part of my being. All the reasons why he could have
possibly chosen her over me went circling through my head in never- ending rotation. I wasn't pretty enough for him and my hair wasn't just right. I had spent too much time concentrating on my schoolwork and hadn't said I love you enough. I didn't make him feel needed. I Just wasn't enough.
Then, in a chance encounter, everything changed. A mutual friend invited me to a graduation party, which quickly turned into a night of drunken happiness at a nearby bar. There I was, sitting at a table, light-headed and sipping on my third Cape Cod, when my ex and his new girlfriend walked in and approached our table. My heart jumped into my throat.
I shot into the ladies room for a quick panic attack. To my horror, I returned to find the happy couple now sitting at my table. Who did they think they were? This was my night out and, up until then, I had been having a really good time.
After nervously retaking my seat.
I took the opportunity to size up this new woman. She was tall, with a solid frame and dirty-blond hair. She was outgoing and talkative, like me. She sat close to him and rubbed his upper thigh with her hand. For some reason, I began to see myself in her. So, 10 excruciating minutes and another Cape Cod later, I decided to do something that surprised even me. I reached my hand across the table and introduced myself to her.
We didn't magically become best friends and introducing myself didn't take away all of the hurt and resentment I still felt inside, but it was at that point when I started to heal. I proved to myself that I could stay strong through even the most difficult situation. That deep down inside I am not only a loving person, but someone with dignity and self-respect.
And hindsight is a magical thing. it's taught me some very important lessons about love and life over the past year. First, there is a perfect man
for me out there, somewhere, but my ex wasn't him. This experience has given me a better understanding of the kind of man I want to spend the rest of my life with and the kind of man that doesn't deserve a second glance.
Second, the best in people comes out in the worst of times. In the last 12 months, I've formed tighter relationships with my family and closest friends than I could have ever imagined. I've learned that a mother sheds the most tears when her child is hurting. I've learned that a brother will turn his back on a friendship and fraternity brother to defend his older sister. And that a best friend sometimes has to delete your ex's number from her cell phone so that she can't call him to cuss him out.
Third, as cliché as it might sound, hindsight has taught me that there are no promises in life, and that you should never stop looking for that one, true love.

Arraignment scheduled Evidence binds Rose to fire

KANSAN WORK WRITER
Judge Jack Murphy ruled Thursday that enough evidence was provided to bind the defendant Jason Allen Rose to three counts of murder, one count of aggravated arson and eight counts of aggravated battery, in connection with the fire that occurred at Boardwalk Apartments Oct. 7, 2005.
Ron Evans, Jason Allen Rose's attorney, listens as Amy McGowan, assistant district attorney, makes her concluding remarks at the preliminary hearing for Rose's trial Thursday afternoon. Evans said Rose was coerced by Lawrence police detectives into confessing his connection to the fire.
Assistant district attorneys Amy McGowan and David Melton's expert witness, Doug Monty, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent, said the 20 special agents working the case determined the fire was incendiary, which means that the individual intentionally started the fire.
Monty said his investigation led him to believe Rose's intentional "placement of a hand-held, open-flame device in contact with available material," caused the devastating fire.
He also said the fire began outside of apartments five and six in building 516, which is exactly where Rose had told police he thought the fire began during initial questioning.
his investigation were based on witness' reports of the fire and Rose's statement to local authorities when "he admitted he started a fire with some paper and other combustibles."
Monty said the findings of

tacked the ATF agent's testimony and argued that the witnesses' reports were invalid because ATF agents did not interview witnesses, but relied on statements gathered by local authorities.
Murphy seemed unsure as to how important Rose's statement was to the investigation. Monty said that even "without Rose's statement, he would have had sufficient evidence to prove the cause of the fire was incendiary."
Evans claimed that Rose's confession was coerced by Lawrence police detectives and that during a voluntary question session Rose expressed that he wanted to quit, but was forced to continue answering questions.
Rose's arraignment has been scheduled for March 21. Evans said Rose's bond would remain at $500,000.
Jason Allen Rose sits in court at the Douglas County District Court Building, 111 E. 11th St., Thursday afternoon. Rose was at his preliminary hearing and has been charged with three counts of murder, one count of aggravated arson and eight counts of aggravated battery in connection with the Boardwalk Apartments fire that occurred Oct. 7, 2005.

ACCIDENT
Employee hit by car, airlifted to KUMed
University of Kansas employee James Helyar was struck by a car at 7:50 a.m. Thursday while walking to work in the crosswalk east of the Campanile on Memorial Drive.
Helyar is a curator in graphics of the department of special collections at Kenneth Spencer Research Library.
Helyar was taken by air ambulance from Memorial Stadium's parking lot to the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.
The medical center couldn't provide any further information on the condition of Helyar as of Thursday evening.
The driver of the car was identified as 25-year-old Thomas Ryan, a staff member in the University's academic technology services department.
Ryan told police that he wasn't able to see Helyar crossing the street because the sun was in his eyes, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office.
Bailey did not know the condition of the victim.
Helyar has been an employee of the University for more than 45 years. He first came to the University in 1955.

Rashawn T. Anderson, an 18-year-old Topeka resident, was charged Thursday with first-degree murder in connection with the fatal shooting of Topeka resident Robert E. Williams outside the Granada on Feb. 5.
The murder was premeditated. police said.
PANZER
Olin said gang members were involved in the shooting, but that the shooting itself was not gang-related.
"Mr. Williams was the target," Police Chief Ron Olin said, "I cannot tell you what Mr. Anderson did to choose Williams as the target."
Angela Wilson, assistant district attorney for Douglas County, said in a press release that the motive was unknown.

How far can free speech go?
BY MELINDA RICKETTS
nrickets@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Moussa Elbayoum began a bit differently than most speakers. He wished the peace of God and God's blessings on his audience.
The director of the Islamic Society of Lawrence explored the Muslim perspective on the controversial cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammed, which were originally published last September in a Danish newspaper, during his speech at Reginier Hall auditorium at the Edwards Campus in Overland Park.
"Religion is not just something that you believe in, it's something that goes to the core of
your being and when someone touches that core it shakes your foundation," he said.
He said the cartoons themselves were, "stereotyping all Muslims as terrorists, as people with hooked noses and daggers and knives in their hands."
Elbayoumy said that every Muslim organization with very few exceptions had condemned the violent responses to the cartoons and would never conduce any form of protest that is not in accordance with their religious guidance. Also, only after pursuing many legal courses of action and being denied any consolations did any Muslims resort to violence in their protests, he said.

Five-man panel discusses cartoons

KANSAN STAFF & ANSWER
A KU journalism professor stood up for the First Amendment, which made him stand out among four other speakers at Thursday's forum about the controversial Danish cartoons that defamed the prophet Muhammed.
The forum, "Cultural Clashes on an International Stage," held at the Burge Union on Thursday afternoon, discussed the respect of religion and protection under the First Amendment. Ted Frederickson, who teaches a course on the First Amendment, opened his speech by stating the First Amendment. He made his case that not printing the cartoons goes against the freedom of speech.
Frederickson went on to say that it's important to learn about other cultures as well as knowing a person's rights. Recently the journalism department instated a course requirement that promotes learning about other ethnicities by a unanimous vote, he said. Mike Hoefflich, professor of law, said he took a different view.
"I don't see why we feel outrage
in the Islamic world is somehow an inappropriate response when their value system is being challenged," he said. "They have the right to be outraged. But it's a damn shame that kids are dying for it."
He said there was a clash of rights, and he asked "how do we stop kids from getting killed?"

Police arrested Anderson Wednesday night in Topeka at about 7:30. Olin said Thursday morning at a press conference. Anderson was stopped at the corner of 23rd and California streets.
The department had been conducting surveillance on Anderson prior to the arrest.
Olin said the department followed up on more than 200 leads in regard to the shooting, some of which took the investigation as far as Colorado. Witnesses' statements in Colorado led Lawrence police to Topeka.
The department worked in conjunction with Colorado police and other Kansas police departments in making the arrest.
The case has been turned over from the police department to District Attorney Charles Branson.

Immunity that chose the leaders He said that the civil rights movement also had violent aspects, such as the Black Panthers and Malcolm X, but what people remember is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"I also have a dream that there will be a day when we can all live together in harmony no matter who we are," he said.
"Would we call Hitler a Christian? He wasn't. And he didn't do what he did in the name of Christianity," he said.
"That is supposedly freedom of speech," Elbayouy said.
ter who we are, he said. Elbayoum compared the cartoons and other recently published statements to Nazi propaganda and said that if the word "Muslim" was taken out of the statements in current newspapers and substituted with "Jew" it would be almost identical to what was published in the 1930s before the Holocaust.
Christianity. Elbayoumy questioned that this was all in the name of free speech, giving the example of David Irving, a British right-wing extremist and anti-Semit who wrote "Hitler's War," a book that tried to prove that the Holocaust was exaggerated. Although the book was published 17 years ago, Irving was arrested Monday in Austria for what he wrote.
Unhy sales.
He said that as a Muslim he has a strong appreciation of free speech because areas where Islam are predominate are often under censorship, but "being free to say something doesn't mean I am free to say anything without results, without consequences."

Printing hateful views is nothing new in our history, said Tim Miller, professor in the religious studies department. He showed examples of religious cartoons poking fun at Christians, Catholics and Jews. One cartoon showed certain characteristics that a Jew "should" have, such as flat feet and a repulsive rear view.
Panel
it's a regenerable part of our society.
The managing editor of the Lawrence Journal-World spoke regarding the audience that the publication targets. Dennis Anderson said the Journal-World didn't publish the cartoons because they were viewed as offensive to the city of Lawrence.
"My point is that there's nothing new here, and it's a regrettable part of our history," he said.
"Our job is to keep the readers informed," he said. "But we don't have to offend people."
Moussa Elbayoumy, director of the Islamic Society of Lawrence, closed the panel by saying we're defending how we really define freedom of speech.
He said that many people have said, "What's the big deal? They are just cartoons."
"We need to admit that people have different attachments to religion," he said. "In essence when you attack religion, you are touching the core of someone's identity."
After the five speeches, the floor was open for questions from the audience. There were about 80 people in attendance.Many of them were students.
"I agreed with what most of them said about not printing the cartoons," Odessa Reis, Curitiba, Brazil, junior said. "People deserve to be respected as much as I deserve to be respected, regardless of belief."

NASSFELD, Austria — Iran has offered the U.N. nuclear watchdog information on a secret project that U.S. intelligence has linked to high explosives and warhead design, both parts of a possible nuclear arms program, two diplomats said Thursday.
One of the diplomats told The Associated Press that a team of International Atomic Energy Agency experts was heading to Tehran this weekend to follow up on the offer to discuss the secret uranium processing project known as "Green Salt."
The diplomats spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to publicly discuss the matter. They said it was unclear if the information being offered by the Iranians would shed more light on suspicious aspects of Iran's nuclear program. But Tehran's overture appeared to be an attempt to blunt the threat of firm U.N. Security Council action in coming weeks.

Iran has denied seeking atomic weapons and more than three years of IAEA probing has failed to produce concrete evidence to the contrary. But the agency has discovered suspicious Iranian activity, including plutonium experiments and long-secret efforts to develop uranium enrichment, an activity that can produce nuclear fuel or fissile cores for warheads.
Public mention of the "Green Salt Project" first surfaced in an IAEA report drawn up earlier this month for a meeting of the agency's 35-nation board of governors. The meeting ended with the board reporting Tehran to the Security Council over concerns it could be hiding a nuclear weapons program.

WAR IN IRAQ
Death continues in curfew-related violence
BY ROBERT H. REID THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Gunmen killed dozens of civilians Thursday and dumped their bodies in a ditch, as the government ordered a tough daytime curfew of Baghdad and three provinces to stem the sectarian violence that has left at least 114 dead since the bombing of a Shiite shrine.
Seven U.S. soldiers died in a pair of roadside bombings north of the capital, and American military units in the Baghdad area were told to halt all but essential travel to avoid getting caught up in demonstrations or roadblocks.
As the country careened to the brink of civil war, Iraqi
state television announced an unusual daytime curfew, ordering people off the streets Friday in Baghdad and the nearby flashpoint provinces of Diyala, Babil and Salaheddin, where the shrine bombing took place.
Such a sweeping daytime curfew indicated the depth of fear within the government that the crisis could touch off a Sunni-Shiite civil war. "This is the first time that I have heard politicians say they are worried about the outbreak of civil war," Kurdish elder statesman Mahmoud Othman told The Associated Press.
The biggest Sunni Arab bloc in parliament announced it was pulling out of talks on a new government until the national
leadership apologizes for damage to Sunni mosques from reprisal attacks.
"It is illogical to negotiate with parties that are trying to damage the political process," said Tariq al-Hashimi, a leader of the Iraqi Accordance Front.
Most of the bloodshed has been concentrated in the capital, its surrounding provinces and the province of Basra, 340 miles to the southeast.
CLARIFICATION
Among the victims was Atwar Bahjat, a widely known Sunni correspondent for the Arab satellite television station Al-Arabiya.
Gunmen in a pickup truck shouting "We want the correspondent!" killed Bajhat along with her cameraman and engineer while they were interview
ing Iraqis about Wednesday's destruction of the famed golden dome of the Shilite shrine Askariya in her hometown of Samarra.
Shiite and Sunni leaders again appealed for calm Thursday following the wave of attacks on Sunni mosques, and the number of violent incidents appeared to decline after the government extended the curfew.
Iraqi television said the curfew would extend until 4 p.m. Friday, preventing people from attending the week's most important Muslim prayer service. Officials feared mosques could be both a target for attacks and a venue for stirring sectarian feelings.
- Photographs and captions in Thursday's Jayplay need clarification. In the article "No stability: Life on the street," the captions were misleading. Neither of the subjects shown on the cover of Jayplay were reported to have addictions. In the photo on page 10, the subjects were searching for objects to sell. They were not looking for food. In the photo on page 11, the subjects were going to clean a trailer that they had permission to live in. In the photo on page 13, only Raleigh Worthington (foreground) was speaking about the bonds of the homeless community. The Kansan regrets these errors.

Open Letter Regarding The Coca-Cola Company's Commitment to Labor Rights
As someone who has devoted my career to labor issues, I share the concerns of student activists regarding labor conditions around the world. Through my work with the United Nations International Labor Organization, I have seen firsthand the manifold difference it makes in the lives of individuals, families, communities and entire countries when employers live up to their responsibilities to workers.
Committed to Fair Labor Practices.
My employer, The Coca-Cola Company, is committed to fair labor practices everywhere we do business. Around the world, Coca-Cola workers are free to exercise their rights to union membership and collective bargaining without pressure or interference. In fact, we are one of the most highly unionized multinational companies in the world, and we keep working to improve our labor relations practices.
Given the state of the world today, many of the countries where we operate are burdened with ongoing conflicts. Concerns have centered on Colombia, where violence against trade unionists and many others has been going on for decades and has deterred most people from joining unions. Even so, more than 30 percent of Coca-Cola workers in Colombia belong to unions, compared to a national average of 4 percent.
Working to Keep Employees Safe.
We share the concerns that many have expressed about the violence in Colombia and we are working to keep our employees safe. Coca-Cola bottlers work with unions and the government to provide emergency cell phones, transportation to and from work, secure housing, and a host of other measures to protect employees. Additional security measures are routinely provided to union leaders and special measures are undertaken when a threat against unionized employees is brought to the attention of the bottler's management.
Committed to Colombia.
We are proud of our 70-year history in Colombia and our contributions to local communities, and we are committed to supporting the country's progress. We invite universities, non-government organizations, as well as our critics, to join in a constructive engagement process to improve the conditions for labor in Colombia.

Fraternity reform focuses on manners
A growing trend seems to be slowly infiltrating fraternities and threatening to change the behavior of its members. No, it's not ritualistic castration. It's the introduction of etiquette and manners programs.
The manners movement comes as a direct reaction to reckless behavior displayed on many college campuses. Sigma Phi Epsilon leads the way nationally with its Balanced Man Program. It started more than a decade ago and has grown to 256 SigEp chapters that have adopted the program,
Needless to say, some fraternities' images could stand an overhaul. But is this the panacea for their ailments? Is teaching them which fork to use going to stop the flow of beer bongs?
Fraternity shenanigans are becoming too much of a liability for chapters. The University has already seen its fair share of fratastic mischief, such as Phi Kappa Theta's "unsactioned party," complete with 16 kegs of beer and plenty of minors to drink it, Kappa Sigma's issues with what was classified as "inappropriate behavior" by its headquarters, or Sigma Nu's closure because of undisclosed allegations of hazing. All three instances resulted in disciplinary measures.
Issue: Greek-life etiquette programs
including here at the University. Other fraternities have followed in its wake, including Beta Theta Pi, which has Men of Principle, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon with its True Gentleman program. An article from the Feb. 20 edition of Time, entitled "Taming the Toga," said the experience is geared toward shifting focus from the unhealthy behavior associated with Greek life to activities "that promote healthy living and selfrespect." Requirements include etiquette dinners, non-alcoholic social events and tutorials on proper behavior.
Stance: Reform is necessary, but it could sacrifice other qualities.
But taking away the costume parties and replacing them with salsa dancing night could alienate some members and take away the lighthearted essence of fraternities. If modifying fraternity men's behavior is what it takes to keep them around, is it worth it? That's for you to decide.

COMMENTARY
Claim to planetary fame up for debate
M. KAMALI
"Arose is a rose is a rose," said Shakespeare. Or was it Gertrude Stein? Or may-be somebody in the Bible? I don't know
OWEN MORRIS opinion@hansan.com
who said it, but whoever it was had obviously never heard of the planet Pluto. Or is that the minor planet Pluto? Or maybe it's just the trans-Neptunian Object Pluto. You see, scientists have never been quite able to decide what exactly Pluto is (or isn't). Some insist that it is no more than a chunk of ice, no different than the billions of other chunks of ice orbiting in the Kuiper Belt. Other scientists are adamant that Pluto is in fact a planet and are willing to use many large words to make their point.
Adding fuel to the sans-planet fire is a new report by scientists from Germany stating that they've found an object bigger than Pluto in the Kuiper Belt. They are calling it Ub313 — those Germans sure have a way with names. Now, scientists are debating whether to make Ub313 a planet and if so, they are wondering If Pluto should remain a planet. So far they have come up with five options: Make both planets; make neither planets; give Ub313 Pluto's title of a planet; leave things the way they are with Pluto staying a planet and Ub313 just a chunk of ice or combine Pluto and Ub313 into one big ice planet, which they would call Plubo313 — OK, so this last one hasn't actually been proposed, but I think it would be kind of cool.
Now, you are probably wondering why you should care about what is happening on a couple of ice cubes billions of miles away that don't even have a Starbucks. The reason is a man named Clyde Tombaugh. Clyde just happens
to be a bona fide University of Kansas alum, and in 1930 it was Clyde that first started this mess when he discovered Pluto one night at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz. How many other universities can claim planet finders as alum? Only seven other people have found planets in our solar system, which puts Clyde in a pretty exclusive club. Not as exclusive as the 3,000 hit, 500 home run club — four members — or the Village People — six members — but still pretty exclusive.
It's a club many scientists want to kick Clyde out of. If Clyde gets kicked out then KU gets kicked out, too. Yes, just when you thought things couldn't get worse for the science community in the state of Kansas now they are trying to take the shining jewel out of our tiara and give it away to some Germans. Imagine the laughing stock we would be. Not only can we not teach evolution, we can't even hold onto our damn planet.
Scientists should leave Pluto alone. It's only been a planet for 75 years. We have known about other planets, such as Mars, virtually since the beginning of time. Why don't we take one of these older planets that's starting to go stale and replace it? Take away Mars' planetship and instead give the name and the planetship of Mars to Ub313. This would leave a very large red object in the sky which we could now auction the naming rights for. What better publicity for FedEx than to have a former planet named after its company?

These soldiers aren't random faces plastered across the television set. They aren't images painted by the writers in news stories. These men and women are your neighbors, your brothers, your sisters and your spouses.
Rhetoric concerning the true intent of the war is a dime a dozen. Simple vandals plastering graffiti across campuses around the nation, including the University of Kansas, saying "War Kills," and frothing "good ole boys" can argue until they pass out.
And still more have joined simply for a way to make it through college. As a society, we have an obligation to help those who have made the ultimate sacrifice; political leanings be damned.
It is morally irresponsible to ignore those who have sacrificed their sanity, their limbs or their lives. Perhaps they felt it was their patriotic duty to join the armed forces. Perhaps it was family tradition that led them into service.

Minor issues get too much attention
ANDREW SOUKUP opinion@kansan.com
While I was initially hesitant to admit that I agreed with someone who thinks "the age of Tae Bo and Pilates" would bring an answer to our national security problems, I must confess with all candor that I agree with Cassie Gentry that women are just as capable as men to serve in the Oval Office. Yet, at the same time, I disagree with the entire discussion centering on a candidates gender. Too often, the discourse leans toward finding the best woman for the office instead of finding the best person for the office, regardless of gender. For as inconsequential as the argument maintains gender is, it makes a big deal out of this one issue.
This problem, however, is not unique to this debate. Many groups simultaneously assert that something does not matter and then assert that it really does. Organizations like the Black Student Union, Queers and Allies and Feminists United serve only to reinforce the belief that the differences between groups are more important than their similarities. Certainly, there is nothing wrong with groups of people who share common interests organizing themselves. It is more than just slightly hypocritical, however, to form these groups and then malign the fact that others go on to recognize and react to these differences, very often leading directly or indirectly to false stereotypes and prejudices
Educational and governmental programs, such as affirmative action policies and minority scholarships, also emphasize the differences among groups. Some, such as former Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, have even charged that these approaches are tantamount to "reverse discrimination" (opinion in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, 1978). And, while I won't go on to lament the many problems of middle-class, white, Christian males like myself, this should not be something that is shrugged off lightly. Even though it may now be cliché, it is nonetheless true that we still observe Black History in February, Women's History in March and Gay Pride Week; but there will never be a White History Month or White Pride Week.
I don't hate women, blacks, gays or anyone else. But, if you make the distinction between yourself and the rest of society, then forgive me if I notice. And, if you run for president and your campaign slogan reads something like "I have a uterus, vote for me," expect that I will probably not vote for you. I want a candidate, not just a woman.

But taking away the costume parties and replacing them with salsa dancing night could alienate some members and take away the lighthearted essence of fraternities. If modifying fraternity men's behavior is what it takes to keep them around, is it worth it? That's for you to decide.

COMMENTARY
Claim to planetary fame up for debate
"A rose is a rose is a rose," said Shakespeare. Or was it Gertrude Stein? Or may be somebody in the Bible? I don't know
OWEN MORRIS opinion@kansan.com
who said it, but whoever it was had obviously never heard of the planet Pluto. Or is that the minor planet Pluto? Or maybe it's just the trans-Neptunian Object Pluto. You see, scientists have never been quite able to decide what exactly Pluto is (or isn't). Some insist that it is no more than a chunk of ice, no different than the billions of other chunks of ice orbiting in the Kuiper Belt. Other scientists are adamant that Pluto is in fact a planet and are willing to use many large words to make their point.
Adding fuel to the sans-planet fire is a new report by scientists from Germany stating that they've found an object bigger than Pluto in the Kuiper Belt. They are calling it Ub313 — those Germans sure have a way with names. Now, scientists are debating whether to make Ub313 a planet and if so, they are wondering if Pluto should remain a planet. So far they have come up with five options: Make both planets; make neither planets; give Ub313 Pluto's title of a planet; leave things the way they are with Pluto staying a planet and Ub313 just a chunk of ice or combine Pluto and Ub313 into one big ice planet, which they would call Plubo313 — OK, so this last one hasn't actually been proposed, but I think it would be kind of cool.
Now, you are probably wondering why you should care about what is happening on a couple of ice cubes millions of miles away that don't even have a Starbucks. The reason is a man named Clyde Tombaugh. Clyde just happens
to be a bona fide University of Kansas alum, and in 1930 it was Clyde that first started this mess when he discovered Pluto one night at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz. How many other universities can claim planet finders as alum? Only seven other people have found planets in our solar system, which puts Clyde in a pretty exclusive club. Not as exclusive as the 3,000 hit, 500 home run club — four members — or the Village People — six members but still pretty
It's a club many scientists want to kick Clyde out of. If Clyde gets kicked out then KU gets kicked out, too. Yes, just when you thought things couldn't get worse for the science community in the state of Kansas now they are trying to take the shining jewel out of our tiara and give it away to some Germans. Imagine the laughing stock we would be. Not only can we not teach evolution, we can't even hold onto our damn planet.
Scientists should leave Pluto alone. It's only been a planet for 75 years. We have known about other planets, such as Mars, virtually since the beginning of time. Why don't we take one of these older planets that's starting to go stale and replace it? Take away Mars' planetship and instead give the name and the planetship of Mars to Ub313. This would leave a very large red object in the sky which we could now auction the naming rights for. What better publicity for FedEx than to have a former planet named after its company?
Maybe they would even allow us to ship our creationists there.

Devastated soldiers bring reality of war back home
COMMENTARY
PAGE 5A
"Do not weep maiden for war is kind./Because your lover threw wild hands toward the sky/And the affrighteed steen ran on alone./ Do not weep./War is kind."
Tucked quietly away, buried beneath the pundits and moral theorizing, Brandon Price returned a changed man from his first tour in Iraq.
More than 100 years ago, Stephen Crane penned his famous poem, "War is Kind," as a de-nouncement of the ravages of war and its effects on soldiers.
Now, with the death toll in Iraq reaching nauseating numbers, 2,480 according to CNN.com, some soldiers are returning to our shores in emotional turmoil. Much like Vietnam, there hardly seems to be any uproar.
Both sides pepper public forums with ignorant and misinformed opinions. No matter what side you agree with, however, regardless of whether you think Bush is a devil or a saint, there is one group of people who are caught in the middle of the tempest. These are the soldiers who are fighting the actual war.
On the front page of Monday's Lawrence Journal-World, Mike Belt told the story of a veteran wrestling with the demons inside after his return from the battlefield

It is morally irresponsible to ignore those who have sacrificed their sanity, their limbs or their lives. Perhaps they felt it was their patriotic duty to join the armed forces. Perhaps it was family tradition that led them into service.
And still more have joined simply for a way to make it through college. As a society, we have an obligation to help those who have made the ultimate sacrifice; political leanings be damned.
Truly, do not weep maiden. War is kind.
Rhetoric concerning the true intent of the war is a dime a dozen. Simple vandals plastering graffiti across campuses around the nation, including the University of Kansas, saying "War Kills," and frothing "good ole boys" can argue until they pass out.
These soldiers aren't random faces plastered across the television set. They aren't images painted by the writers in news stories. These men and women are your neighbors, your brothers, your sisters and your spouses.

COMMENTARY
Minor issues get too much attention
ANDREW SOUKUP opinion@hansan.com
While I was initially hesitant to admit that I agreed with someone who thinks "the age of Tae Bo and Pilates" would bring an answer to our national security problems, I must confess with all candor that I agree with Cassie Gentry that women are just as capable as men to serve in the Oval Office. Yet, at the same time, I disagree with the entire discussion centering on a candidates gender. Too often, the discourse leans toward finding the best woman for the office instead of finding the best person for the office, regardless of gender. For as inconsequential as the argument maintains gender is, it makes a big deal out of this one issue.
This problem, however, is not unique to this debate. Many groups simultaneously assert that something does not matter and then assert that it really does. Organizations like the Black Student Union, Queers and Allies and Feminists United serve only to reinforce the belief that the differences between groups are more important than their similarities. Certainly, there is nothing wrong with groups of people who share common interests organizing themselves. It is more than just slightly hypocritical, however, to form these groups and then malign the fact that others go on to recognize and react to these differences, very often leading directly or indirectly to false stereotypes and prejudices.
Educational and governmental programs, such as affirmative action policies and minority scholarships, also emphasize the differences among groups. Some, such as former Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, have even charged that these approaches are tantamount to "reverse discrimination" (opinion in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, 1978). And, while I won't go on to lament the many problems of middle-class, white, Christian males like myself, this should not be something that is shrugged off lightly. Even though it may now be cliché, it is nonetheless true that we still observe Black History in February, Women's History in March and Gay Pride Week; but there will never be a White History Month or Straight Pride Week.
I don't hate women, blacks, gays or anyone else. But, if you make the distinction between yourself and the rest of society, then forgive me if I notice. And, if you run for president and your campaign slogan reads something like "I have a uterus, vote for me," expect that I will probably not vote for you. I want a candidate, not just a woman.

Goodbye 'Hawks, hello Vols

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Friends and family will gather today for a farewell reception to recognize the many contributions of Ken Stoner, director of student housing. Stoner has accepted an offer from the University of Tennessee to become a Volunteer. He will be the new assistant vice chancellor for student affairs and the executive director of housing.
The reception is from 2 to 4 p.m. today in Oliver Hall.
The reception is from 2 to 4 p.m. today in Oliver Hall. He has accomplished a lot during his tenure at the University of Kansas. Among other things, he oversaw the construction of three new scholarship halls, the Wilma Crawford Community Center, the renovation of Templin, Lewis, Ellsworth, and now Hashinger Halls, and he helped to revamp food service
program, including Mrs. E's.
He originally lived in Knoxville, Tenn., for 12 years before coming to the University of Kansas. Stoner moved back to Kansas in 1985 to be closer to his parents in Garden City and his wife's parents in southwest Iowa. Stoner's parents now live in Lawrence.
Stoner said he and his wife, Ruth, were planning to move back to Tennessee for their retirement anyway, so when Tennessee offered him a job, he couldn't refuse the opportunity.
David A. Amber, former vice chancellor of student affairs who is speaking at the reception, said Stoner went beyond his duties as director by participating in many of the all-University boards.
Ambler said Stoner was a leading designer in his field and focused his efforts on supplemental programs for students,
including the language programs and interest-focused floors in the residence halls.
"He is a wonderfully humane person who really cares about students and their welfare," Ambler said.
Joe Zanatta, director of scholarship support at the KU Endowment Association, said Stoner worked closely with him to promote fundraising for the new scholarship halls and a scholarship fund for the students who live there.
Stoner said that he traveled many times with Zanatta to raise funds. A $2 million endowment now exists for those students.
Stoner said that he couldn't take all the credit, but that he would take credit for hiring good people. The University of Tennessee is now one of many southern states part of the HOPE Scholarship program, which funds college education
for any in-state student who graduated from an accredited high school.
The scholarship will create an influx of new students who otherwise would not have been able to attend college. The university is also adding housing for the new students. The university appointed Stoner because he was already familiar with the university layout, housing program and campus philosophy.
"I guess they figure I have three to five good years left in my tank," Stoner said.
Stoner's official last day is March 3. Diana Robertson, associate director of student housing, was chosen as interim director. She said the department would move forward with all of its current projects. The search for a new director will begin in Fall 2006.

Nothing sacred for 'Daily Show' comic

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Black will release a comedy CD in April and is planning to tape a new HBO special later this year.
Lewis Black, the self-proclaimed as "America's foremost commentator on everything," brought his sarcastic delivery style and bleak political perspective to stage Thursday night inside a cramped Liberty Hall.
Black is best known for his weekly segment, Back in Black, on "The Daily Show."
Black put on two shows there as part of his nationwide tour called "Nothing Sacred," which shares the same name as his autobiography that was released last year. Along with fellow comedian John Bowman, Black lives a life on the road.
"Michael Jackson, that's all you got to say. I don't even need a joke when I say Michael Jackson," Black said to the audience. "You know someone is nuts when you look at them and you feel creepy."

Black, looking every bit like the agitated, highly stressed, yet engaging individual that graces American televisions every week on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," aimlessly wandered around onstage when he was visibly disgruntled about a topic.
Black's topics for the night included a few sharp jabs at Dick Cheney's recent predicament, the "made-up" holiday of Valentine's Day, the government's reaction to Hurricane Katrina, and the state of Kansas' issues with intelligent design.
He also included a few moments about some of his favorite subjects, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and pop singer Michael Jackson.

No.1 seed not necessarily a pipe dream
PAGE 1B
TIM HALL
THAL@KANSAN.COM
bigamous I big shot
Selection Sunday is still a few weeks away, but it's coming up fast. Right now
the Jayhawks are playing better basketball than anyone in the country, and they are fighting every game to improve their tournament seed.
A team that started 3-4 and with three freshmen and two sophomores certainly wouldn't be expected to be a top seed.
But if a few of the "big dogs" at the top of the polls drop a few games, and if Kansas runs the tables to finish 26-6 as Big 12 Champions, don't be surprised to see a No. 1 beside Kansas' name on Selection Sunday.
Kansas as a No. 1 seed is a stretch, but it is possible. And it will be a lot more reasonable if the Jayhawks can beat the Texas Longhorns Saturday night in Austin. If Kansas can win that game, it will be smooth sailing into the Big 12 Tournament in Dallas.
The top four teams in the nation are Duke, Villanova, Memphis, and UConn. Duke is a lock at the No. 1 seed, and Memphis is, too, because it plays in the lowly Conference USA and won't face any serious threats.
But Villanova and UConn both play in a dangerous Big East Conference that can spit them some late-season losses.
Villanova has remaining road games at UConn and at Syracuse, plus the conference tournament. UConn has an easier remaining schedule, but still meets Villanova at home on Feb. 26 and goes to the Big East Tournament. It's a stretch, but anything can happen.
In 1996, the Purdue Boilermakers finished their regular season with a 25-5 record, and an outright Big Ten Conference Championship.
A record like 26-6, with an outright Big 12 Championship,a big 12 Tournament Championship,and a 16-game winning streak (23 of the last 25) would warrant a No.1 seed.
That mark was good enough to get them a No.1 seed. In 1997, North Carolina finished its season with a record of 24-6, and still received a top seed. Kansas would have two more victories than that if they ran the table this year.
In 2000, two teams pulled down No.1 seeds with six losses. Arizona had a record of 26-6 and Michigan State had a record of 26-7.
And in 2005, Washington finished with a 27-5 record. They finished strong and won the Pac-10 Tournament, and won a No. 1 seed.
The precedents are there. A team with six losses has been given a No. 1 seed before, and if Kansas beats Texas tomorrow and wins the rest of their games, they have a shot.
Even though it will take a lot for that to happen, Kansas fans can plan on the No. 2 as the worst-case-scenario, and probably an NCAA berth in the Minneapolis Region. It all starts with Texas Saturday night.

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
Kansas coach Bill Self said it's been good not playing with much national attention, but with Kansas playing Texas on Saturday night, Kansas can break out.
"We don't need to be under the radar anymore. We need to be out there. It worked out pretty well, we didn't get too much too soon," Self said. "They made us earn everything and now you have to learn to operate with the attention that you will be receiving from the media."
The Kansas men's basketball team has been out of the national spotlight this season — until now.
A game like this is why athletes come to Kansas, said senior guard Jeff Hawkins.
Hawkins had advice for the young players who might think that Saturday's game is more important than others.
"It's not like they didn't know what they were getting themselves into." Hawkins said. "They came here to play in big games like this."
"Just take it like another game," Hawkins said. "Take it like it is Baylor, with a different name and a different uniform. As long as we continue to do what we got to do and execute and do what coach wants us to do, I think the name doesn't really matter."
Self's Jayhawks will be the talk of ESPN tomorrow, with "College Gameday" converging in Austin, Texas. It is fair to say that this game is probably the biggest game of the young Jayhawks careers.
Kansas' top seven scorers are either freshmen or sophomores and none of them have played in a game that has had this much attention or meant as much to their team. First place in the Big 12 Conference is on the line.
Self said a game like this was similar to the buildund to an NCAA tournament game.
"This is a big game. My first 'College Gameday,' freshman guard Mario Chalmers said. "We are going to be really excited to go out there and play."
"They will be excited to play, I am pretty sure of it, but I don't want them to be too excited." Self said. "I think that can be counterproductive."
tournament," Self said.
"I'm not going to try to shield them from everything, they just have to grow up and understand that this is how it is during the NCAA
Sophomore guard Russell Robinson said it has been tough to look at Saturday's game like an ordinary one.
"It's kind of hard just because it's on a big stage and everybody is going to be watching," Robinson said. We just have to be up for the challenge."
Basketball Note: Hawkins, who was suspended from Tuesday's game against Baylor, is expected to play Saturday, Self said. Hawkins would not comment Thursday on the incident. He received a ticket for fleeing an accident on Sunday morning.

KU prepared for zone defense
BY DANIEL BERK

KANSAN SENSIOR SPORTSWITTER
The last time Kansas faced a zone defense for the majority of the game was against Kansas State.
Most Kansas fans remember how that game turned out. Kansas lost by four points on its home floor.
This weekend, when Kansas travels to Austin, Texas, to play No. 7 Texas, Kansas coach Bill Self said he expected to see a lot of zone defense again, and this time he expected his team to be ready for it.
Kansas has seen some zone against teams since the Kansas State game, but just in spurs. Self said the team was better now against the zone than it was a month ago when it played Kansas State.
"We were bad against K-State's zone, and since the K-State game we have gotten significantly better against the zone because we have had numerous opportunities to go against it," Self said.

"I think we have been playing pretty good against the zone.Mario has been hitting some outside shots.Russell has been shooting pretty good.I think we can stretch the defense."
Jeff Hawkins Senior guard
Against Kansas State, Kansas shot just 32 percent from the field and was only 5-20 from threepoint distance. The point of zone defense is to make the opponent settle for bad, outside shots instead of allowing them to take advantage of individual match-ups by driving to the basket.
Iowa State and Oklahoma were two of the schools that played a little zone defense against Kansas. Kansas was successful against both of those teams because it was able to shoot well from three-point distance.
Senior guard Jeff Hawkins said that if the team could shoot the ball from outside as well as it has lately, it would force Texas to move to a man-to-man defense.
Self said it didn't matter if teams played zone or man defense; he didn't prefer going against one more than the other.
"I think we have been playing pretty good against the zone, Hawkins said. "Mario has been hitting some outside shots. Russell has been shooting pretty good. I think we can stretch the defense."
"I don't know if I like it or dislike it," Self said. "I like it if we make shots. When we played them last year, they came in here and tried to play zone from the start. We shot it pretty well and then they went to man-to-man for a good bit after that."
Last year against Texas, Kansas shot 50 percent from the field and 7-17 from three-point
distance. The team was able to do most of its damage inside with Wayne Simien. Texas was without its two best, big men for that game, then sophomore forward PJ. Tucker and freshman forward LaMarcus Aldridge. Both players are available now, and Simien is in the NBA.
Self said the match-up inside with Aldridge, Tucker and senior forward Brad Buckman against Kansas' front line of sophomore center Sasha Kaun, freshman forward Julian Wright and freshman guard Brandon Rush would be a key in determining the winner.
Hawkins said the team would have to do a good job of getting Wright the ball because he was dangerous against a zone defense.

"The thing is with their zone, is you have to attack the middle," Hawkins said. "That is what Julian is best with. If we can put the ball is Julian's hand, it will be good. We just got to keep the ball moving, and he's good at that."

Kansas wraps up 14 straight road games with three different teams in three different stadiums in Nashville. Tenn.
SUNDAY NATIONAL FIELD

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Growing more accustomed to travel, Kansas (7-4) headed to Nashville, Tenn., to face Belmont tonight, then over to face the Lipscomb Bisons Saturday, before wrapping up the weekend on Vanderbilt's turf.
The games are part of the Music City Challenge.
The tournament will provide the Jayhawks with the opportunity to see three different venues, all in Nashville.
"That's one of the great things about going down there," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "It only takes an hour to fly there and Belmont's home field is a triple-A park."
Today vs. Belmont — 2 p.m.
The Belmont Bruins (2-1) call Greer Stadium home. The AAA Nashville Sounds, of the Pittsburgh Pirates organization, do the same. The stadium is known for the 116-foot-tall guitar shaped scoreboard.
For the Bruins, junior outfielder Ben Petsch leads the way at the plate. In his first three games, Petsch is hitting .417 with three doubles and five runs scored.
On the mound, junior right-hander Charles Lee (1-0) is a likely candidate for tonight's start. In his seven innings of work, Lee sat down eight on strikes.
Saturday vs. Lipscomb — 2 p.m
"We actually beat them our first year we went to the Nashville tournament, my first year," Price said. "We beat them at their place, and I think we hit like four or five homeruns."
Dugan Field will play host to game number two for Kansas. The Lipscomb Bisons have started the season 1-2.
At the plate, Lipscomb's senior shortstop Tadd Brewer got it done against Chicago State, hitting 5-9, crossing the plate twice and driving in three. He leads the team with a .500 batting average.
The Jayhawks may see Bison freshman right-hander Josh Smith (1-0) on Saturday. Smith threw seven innings and allowed just two runs in his first outing.
Kansas will finish the weekend against Vanderbilt, a team Kansas faced in a neutral location in Los Angeles last weekend. Kansas beat
Sundav vs. Vanderbilt
Vanderbilt 5-2. This Sunday the pair will match-up at Vanderbilt's Hawkins Field.
It took a long time for the Kansas offense to score against Vanderbilt. The Jayhawks unleashed three runs in the top of the 11th inning to seal a 5-2 victory in their first extra-inning game of the season.
"I felt really confident in our hitters," senior right-handed pitcher Kodiak Quick said. "We had just faced two extremely good guys, but I knew we would come out Sunday and score some runs."
Price said his young pitchers were still getting acclimated to taking the mound against well-known baseball programs Kansas has faced this season, like Southern Cal., then No. 19 Stanford and then No. 9 San Diego.
Quick (1-1) threw against Vanderbilt last Sunday, receiving a no-decision in his 5 and 2/3 inning start. He'll likely take the mound again this Sunday.
"Thank goodness Kodiak Quick and Don Czyz stopped the bleeding on Sunday." Price said of last weekend's Public Storage Classic. "Our freshmen aren't quite ready to pitch at this level yet."
Czyz, senior closer, threw 5 and 1/3 innings against Vanderbilt in relief of Quick. He threw into extra innings and earned the victory.
Kansas, however, is ready to hit. Senior shortstop Ritchie Price extended his hit streak to 10 games against Vanderbilt.
Senior first baseman Jared Schweitzer also fared well against the nationally ranked pitching. Schweitzer hit .300 for the weekend.
Price said both pitchers Vanderbilt threw at them last weekend topped at 90-91 mph. He expects his hitters to be ready for that type of power.
"We saw really good arms," Price said. "But obviously to play in our conference we have to be able to hit 90-91 to be successful."

INTERNATIONAL SPORTS
Vancouver ready to take on Olympics
BY DAVID CRARY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURIN, Italy — A sprawling, multicultural seaport. Vancouver will be a Winter Olympics host dramatically unlike any before it — an even bigger metropolis than Turin, in a more spectacular setting.
Overlooked by mountains rising abruptly from the shore, with a majestic park jutting into the harbor, it guarantees an eye-catching backdrop for the ice sports and ceremonies of the 2010 Games. Two hours away — maybe three, to be on the safe side — the skiing and sliding events will take place in and around Whistler, rated consistently as one of the top ski resorts of North America.
Yes, it rains in Vancouver in February — every other day, on average. But the prospect of gray skies and an array of logistical and financial challenges, have
not dented the confidence of organizers that the 2010 Games will be a hit.
To approach his self-stated goal of perfection, Furlong and his fast-growing team have plenty of work on their hands. A short list includes rising costs in a heated local economy, a highway controversy and the future of Vancouver's toughest neighborhood.
"In a few days, the giant spotlight will move from Torino to Vancouver, and it will be our turn to show the world what we can do." 2010 organizing chief John Furlong said Thursday. "It's pressure, but it's good pressure."
Earlier this month, in what Furlong pledged would be the last such request, organizers asked federal and provincial authorities for an extra $96 million to cover surging construction costs, raising their projected budget to $580 million. Contractors worry about a local shortage of skilled labor and have dispatched recruiters as far as Europe.
Crucial to the 2010 plan is an upgrading of the scenic but sometimes slow and dangerous Sea to Sky Highway that links Vancouver with Whistler over a twisting, mountainous route. Organizers say work is ahead of schedule and will be done by 2009, but many residents and politicians in affluent West Vancouver are furious that the project now calls for an overland four-lane highway, not a tunnel, through a scenic section of bayside bluffs.
Close to Vancouver's vibrant, trendy center city is a starkly different neighborhood called Downtown Eastside, long a skid-row destination for drifters and drug addicts who frequent dilapidated rooming houses. Organizers have pledged to help upgrade the area without causing displacement, but a residents' association predicts rents will soar as landlords and hotel owners try to cash in on the Olympics.
Another possible but seemingly remote threat would be a renewed push by separatists in French-speaking Quebec to secede from Canada. The separatists narrowly lost a secession referendum in 1995, and their new leader has vowed to try again if his Parti Quebecois wins provincial elections due by early 2008.
But an actual breakaway remains a long shot. Even a recent proposal by one separatist leader for Quebec to form its own hockey team didn't catch on.
Coming off a record-high medal haul in Turin, Canada is also launching a program called "Own The Podium" that is drawing government and private funds to develop a team that can win the most medals in 2010.
SWIMMING/DIVING Senior Gnatzig sets new school record
After the first day of relays, the swimming and diving team was in third place at the Big 12 Conference Championships. Kansas was tied with Missouri, and trailed Texas and Texas A&M.
FRJ
"It was a real good kickoff to the championships," Kansas coach Clark Campbell said. The Jayhawks took third in the 200-yard medley relay and fifth in the 800 free relay. Campbell said the 800 free relay was a really great race, but the Jayhawks were just out-touched at the end.
In the preliminary race for the 500 free, senior Gina Gnatzig set a new school record with a time of 4:48.77.This time was also an NCAA "B" standard time.
Betty Kaspar
Kansas will continue to compete in the championships through Saturday.
MEN'S GOLF
Low-ranked team readies for tournament
The Kansas men's golf team will participate in the All-American Intercollegiate in Houston next Monday and Tuesday.
After finishing last in a field of 21 earlier this month at the University of Hawaii at Hilo Intercollegiate, Kansas coach Ross Randall planned to hold four rounds of qualifying in order to retool the starting lineup.
But cold weather has kept the Jayhawks off of the course for the better part of the past two weeks.
“It's still early in the year, and we're going through some times when we can't play or practice as much as we want, and when we do, we're all bundled up in clothing," Randall said.
The team finished qualifying rounds late Wednesday afternoon, leaving little time for rest before it departs for the tournament in Houston.
"The scores are really bunched right now, so today one bad hole or one good hole is going to make a difference," Randall said.
The University of Houston will play host to the tournament next week. The Cougars are ranked 67th nationally by GolfWeek magazine. The Jayhawks will hope to climb from their spot at 123rd nationally.
Junior Gary Woodland led the qualifying for starting positions, and sat ahead of six players separated by two shots or fewer.

The throwing tandem of senior Sheldon Battle and sophomore Egor Agafonov will lead the way for the Jayhawks.
The Kansas men's team is ranked No.12 by trackwire.com. Senior spinner Tiffany Cherry and senior multi-event competitor Charisse Bacchus will lead the women's team.

SPRING TRAINING
Visa problems cause players to miss flights, camp
JUPITER, Fla. — Better late than never, new St. Louis Cardinals right fielder Juan Encarnacion showed up for spring training on Thursday after battling visa problems and a missed flight.
Three other Dominican players with visa problems — infielders Hector Luna and Deiiv Cruz and pitcher Juan Mateo — were expected in camp Friday. Encarnacion did not workout Thursday, but is expected to on Friday.
camp I would hesitate to use in a spring training game," La Russa said. "Everyone is working hard."
11 a.m., Saturday, Allen Fieldhouse
After so many years as a National League powerhouse — the Cardinals have been in three of the past four NL championship series — La Russa worried about complacency.
"We've been contending for a number of years," La Russa said. "What you have to be careful about is that it's not automatic."
Border Showdown on tap
The Cardinals announced that pitcher-turned-outfielder Rick Ankiel and pitchers Brad Thompson and Anthony Reyes agreed to terms, which were not disclosed. Ankiel had been a concern because he had run out of options.
"Now I can go out there and just concentrate on playing," said Ankiel, who has been taking a lot of practice in the outfield. "Every day I seem to be getting a little more comfortable. The more I see of it, the better off I'll be."
Kansas to play for pride against a tough Mizzou squad KU Tip-off MU Tip-off
The visa issue was worked out Wednesday, but Encarnacion, Cruz and Mateo missed flights from the Dominican Republic to Miami, delaying their arrival in Jupiter. While Encarnacion was the only one to show up Thursday, Mateo and Cruz are in Jupiter, and Luna is expected to arrive shortly, Cardinals spokesman Brian Bartow said.
Kansas Jayhawks (15-10,4-10 Big 12 Conference)
Even without the Latin American players, manager Tony La Russa has liked what he has seen with the exhibition season approaching.
Last time out:
Kansas continued a two-year road losing streak against Big 12 teams in the south with a 62-50 loss to Texas Tech. Coach Bonnie Hendrickson was encouraged by her team's performance, as the Jayhawks trailed by only two late in the game. Texas Tech drew more than 9,000 fans to the game, and is currently in position to make the NCAA tournament.
Player to watch:
Senior forward Crystal Kemp has only two more home games remaining in her career as a Jayhawk. Winning one of these two would help the team's chances of making the WNIT, which was a goal the team set at the beginning of the year. Both games are against rivals, Missouri and Kansas State, which will bring even more excitement to the games.
3 quick facts:
118 - Combined minutes (out of 120) that Kemp and senior guards Erica Hallman and Kaylee Brown played in the first Missouri game.
57 - The Jayhawks three-point percentage in the first half of that game. They entered the locker room leading by five.
The Associated Press
22 - The Jayhawks three-point percentage in the second half. Kansas lost the game 64-57.
"I haven't seen anyone in
Key to victory:
in Columbia, it was a one-possession game in the final minutes, but Kansas couldn't close the gap. In recent games, the Kansas defense has been playing well, and a big performance on Saturday would take some of the heat off the offense, which has been relied on all season to make big plays.
KANSAS
Missouri Tigers (20-6, 10-4 Big 12 Conference)
Last time out:
Missouri guaranteed its best finish ever in the Big 12 on Wednesday night after defeating Iowa State 67-59. The Tigers got a solid inside-outside combo from senior guard LaToya Bond and senior center Christelle N'Garsanet. Bond scored a game-high 22 points, her 12th 20-point game this season.

Bond burned the Kansas defense for 31 points, including 13 in the final 10 minutes. She will be matched up for most of the afternoon against Kansas' top defender, junior guard Sharita Smith. Smith has shut down opponents' top guards on numerous occasions this season.

3 quick facts:
51 - Combined points for Bond and N'Garsanet against Kansas in Columbia, Mo.
8. 77 - Missouri's average steals per game.
22 - Free throws shot by the Tigers in the final 13 minutes of their victory against the Jayhawks.
missouri was outplayed on both ends of the floor for the first 34 minutes of game in Columbia, Mo. earlier this season. The Tigers made the mistake of allowing Kansas' senior guards Erica Hallman and Kaylee Brown to get open behind the three-point line early and often, shooting nearly 60 percent from three-point range. If Missouri lets Kansas get that many open looks, Hallman and Brown will burn Missouri again.
15
OFFENSE
Coming into the Border Showdown, the Jayhawks are playing some of their best offense of the season. Kemp has found help inside from freshman forward Marija Zinic and sophomore guard Taylor McIntosh. Kemp gets double-teamed nearly every time she touches the ball and is finding a way to pass the ball to McIntosh or Zinic for open shots. Wednesday night in Lubbock, McIntosh had a career-high 14 points.
DK
DEFENSE
Defenses get an extra boost when playing in front of a home crowd, and Kansas should enjoy one of the bigger crowds of the season against its border rival. The defense has been assisted in recent weeks by the emergence of junior guard Sharita Smith. When in the game, Smith has been assigned to the opposing team's best player, but she creates an offensive void that Hallman and Brown will have to fill.
KU
KU KU
KU
Missouri has one of the conference's top guard/ forward combinations in senior center Christelle N'Garsanet and senior guard LaToya Bond. The Tigers are dependent on those two having strong performances each game. In the meeting earlier this season, the two seniors combined for 80 percent of their team's scoring.
OFFENSE
V
DEFENSE
In the team's meeting two weeks ago at Mizzou Arena, Missouri had trouble locating Kansas' guards on the perimeter. The Jayhawks got numerous open shots, especially behind the three-point line. Missouri cannot afford a repeat of its defensive performance against Kansas if it wents to sweep the season series.

Tiger Woods shoots way to record

lied. Montgomerie pulled even hung
Chris Carlson/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARLSBAD. Calif. — Tiger Woods and Scott Verplank would appear to have nothing in common after the way they got through the first round of the Match Play Championship.
By Doug Ferguson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Woods set a tournament record by beating Stephen Ames into submission, 9 and 8, in two hours. Verplank matched a tournament record by going 26 holes before outlasting Lee Westwood of England in a match that lasted six hours.
And in the Accenture Match Play Championship, that's all that matters.
"What do we have in common? We both won," Verplank said.
that matters.
Wipe the slate clean for Thursday, when the goal remains the same — beat the next guy with whatever golf it takes and avoid going to the front desk at La Costa Resort to check out.
Even so, a wild Wednesday at La Costa was far from routine
Motivated by remarks about his wild tee shots, Woods took Stephen Ames to the woodshed Wednesday with a ruthless performance that lasted only 10 holes, the shortest round mathematically possible in 18 holes of match play. He won the first nine holes, seven of them with a birdie.
a bribe.
Ames was on the practice range Monday afternoon — he got into the 64-man field only when Thomas Bjorn withdrew because of a sore neck — and was asked if he would play as though he had nothing to lose against the No. 1 player.
Ames shook his head.
Annie shook his head. "Anything can happen," he said, breaking into a wide smile. "Especially where he's driving it."
Woods read the remarks and responded by hitting six of eight fairways, opening with six birdies and acting as if he was in a
playoff until they removed their caps and shook hands on the 10th hole. Asked if he felt the least bit sorry for Ames, Woods stared back at a reporter and said, "No."
Ames was duly impressed.
Ames was truly impressed "Tiger played exceptionally well." Ames said. Then he looked over to confer with Woods on how many birdies he made on the front nine and he added with heavy sarcasm, "It was a rough nine for Tiger."
"If he continues playing the way he's playing, he should walk away with this — easily," Ames said.
The Big Easy — Ernie Els — made another early exit when he lost to Bernhard Langer on the 18th hole. That was one of six matches that went the distance, and a record seven matches went even longer.
Verplank teed off three hours before Woods and finished an hour later.
He battled for six hours against Westwood, whom he beat in the '02 Ryder Cup in another tight match. This one probably should have lasted 17 holes, too, but Verplank made a careless bogey on the 17th by missing the green from the fairway, then Westwood made a 20-foot for birdie to win the 18th.
"After that, it was survival for both of us." Verplank said.
both of us. Verplank stayed alive with par putts of 8 feet and 6 feet to extend the match. Westwood saved par from a bunker with a 10-footer on the fifth. It ended, finally, when Westwood couldn't escape from the trees on the par-5 eighth and made bogey. Verplank only had to two-putt for par from 30 feet, and lagged it to about 8 inches.
"That's good," Westwood told him.
"Thank God," Verplank re-
Colin Montgomerie appeared to have his match in hand against Nicolas Fasth, 4 up through eight holes, when a homely match turned downright ugly. Monty kept making bogeys as the Swede cut into his lead, then shockingly went 1 up with pars on the 14th and 15th.
The other top seeds had an easy time. Vijay Singh hammered Graeme McDowell, refusing to let him win a single hole in a 5-and-4 victory, while
Montgomerie pulled even with a par on the 16th, then beat him in 23 holes.
hung with him and won on the 18th hole. Carl Pettersson was 1 over, but that was enough to knock out Kenny Perry on the 18th hole.
"It doesn't matter what hole, it's nice to win," he said. "Match play is a lottery, a crazy game."
Paul Casey birdied three of his first four holes and would have shot 4 under 68, but that doesn't matter because Henrik Stenson
Retief Goosen had an equally calm day with a 5-and-4 win over Paul Broadhurst.
Phil Mickelson, the No. 5 seed, went 18 holes to beat Charles Howell III.
Defending champion David Toms didn't require any magical shots to beat Ian Poulter the way he did last year in the semifinals, squeaking past him in 19 holes.
Told about Woods' win, Toms was surprised — not by the margin, but what might have led to it.
"I don't know if you give the best player in the world any extra incentive to want to beat you." Toms said.
It wasn't the first time for Woods.
Six years ago in the Presidents Cup, Singh's caddle showed up on the first tee of their singles match with "Tiger Who?" written on the back of his cap. It was a mild prank that Woods took to the extreme, not conceding a putt of any length to Singh and beating him, 2 and 1.
Asked about his reaction to Ames' comments in a press conference, Woods said, "Nine and eight."
The large, white scoreboard behind the 18th green generated a big buzz on a day of sunshine at La Costa as fans walked by and gawked at the sight of Woods building his lead with each hole he played.
"It's not physical, where you go up there and put a shoulder in somebody and take him out," Woods said. "It's about the ability to bear down and pull out quality golf shots on your own, and put an inordinate amount of pressure on your opponent. That's the only thing you can do in our sport."
That he did.
But it only got him the same reward as Verplank — another day at La Costa with no guarantees.

Japan wins first Olympic gold

Gold medalist Shizuka Arakawa of Japan, left, hugs silver medalist Sasha Cohen of the United States during medal ceremonies at the Women's Figure Skating final at the Turin Winter Olympic Games in Turin, Italy, Thursday.

What a way to end a shut-out!
TURIN, Italy — Shizuka Arakawa skated off with Japan's first medal of the Olympics — a gold in the showcase event.
Arakawa did it with an elegance and technical brilliance that even had two-time Olympic winner Katarina Witt standing and applauding before the Japanese skater was done. Cohen fell twice and finished with a silver; Slutskaya fell once and took bronze.
The 2004 world champion stunned favorites Sasha Cohen of the United States and Irina Slutskaya of Russia to claim figure skating's biggest prize Thursday night.
The Japanese team has struggled in the mountains and on the ice in Turin. But Arakawa, third after the short program and a mere .71 points behind Cohen, was magnificent. Her spectacular spirals thrilled the crowd and, more importantly, impressed the judges.
She was emotionless for most of her breathtaking, four-minute routine, then broke into a smile that only got bigger when scores were flashed. When her personal best of 125.32 points for the free skate were displayed, she flashed a "V" for victory sign then pumped her fist when she moved into first place with 191.34 points.
Cohen had already flubbed her first two jumps — and her shot at gold. That left Slutskaaya, a two-time world champion and 2002 Olympic silver medalist. She lacked sparkle in her free skate and the fall ended any chance she had.
That ended Russia's hopes for an unprecedented sweep of
the gold after taking the men's,
pairs and ice dancing titles.

Arakawa, 24, became the first Japanese Olympic gold medalist in figure skating and just the second with any medal; Midori Ito, one of Arakawa's idols, won silver behind Kristi Yamaguchi in 1992. Ito led the cheers of the flag-waving Japanese in the crowd.

program and Sarah Hughes soared from fourth to the top.
Even her first U.S. title last month came with some questions because nine-time champion Michelle Kwan was sidelined. Cohen also collapsed in the 2003 and 2004 national championships that went to Kwan, and the 2004 worlds won by Arakawa.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — The independent inquiry into former Missouri basketball coach Quin Snyder's disputed resignation was immediately preceded by a prominent booster's request that his family's name be removed from the team's practice gym unless the university launched a further investigation.
Doug Albrecht, president and chief executive officer of the St. Louis-based Centric Group, told the Columbia Daily Tribune for a story Thursday that he asked the university's Board of Curators last week to either seek more answers on its own or rename the Albrecht Family Practice Facility at Mizzou Arena.
Snyder, who left the team with six games remaining in a tumultuous season, has said he was confronted by an aide to athletics director Mike Alden on Feb. 9 — the same day Snyder told reporters he would finish the season — and was told his job could not be salvaged.
According to Snyder, who spoke to reporters five days later after signing a $574,000 settlement agreement, Tiger broadcaster Gary Link delivered that message on behalf of Alden, University of Missouri system President Elson Floyd, University of Missouri-Columbia Chancellor Brady Deaton and an influential curator, whom Snuder declined to identify.
Floyd, Deaton and curator Don Walsworth quickly distanced themselves from Snyder's version of events. On Feb. 16, Deaton concluded a brief investigation with a five-paragraph statement chalking
up the different accounts to "individual perceptions."
That conclusion did little to satisfy curators, who pressed Floyd for more answers. On Monday, the system president appointed a Kansas City attorney and a southern Missouri newspaper publisher to conduct an independent review.
Albrecht said he is reserving judgment until former federal prosecutor Jean Paul Bradshaw and Lebanon Daily Record Publisher Dalton Wright deliver their findings.
"The fact they're doing an independent investigation, I got what I asked for, so I got back to the Board of Curators and said, 'Thank you. I'll see what the outcome is.'" Albrecht told the Tribune.
Albrecht, who paid $500,000 for the gym's naming rights, said he would be satisfied if the investigation reveals that Link was following Alden's orders when he gave Snyder his termination options.
Albrecht is a close friend of both Link and Snyder and accompanied the coach to his farewell news conference. Albrecht said that Link — like Albrecht, a former Tiger athlete — unfairly took the fall for Alden.
Link has declined to discuss his role in Snyder's departure.
Floyd spokesman Scott Charton said Thursday that the president would have no comment on the matter until after Wright and Bradshaw complete their report.
Charton also declined to discuss any potential connection between the call for an independent inquiry and Albrecht's ultimatum.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ******
Others appreciate your efforts. What might be most important is to remain nurturing to someone else. Your efforts and willingness to throw yourself into a project separate you from many. Know what you want. Tonight: Happy-plus, with someone you care about.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★☆

PICSCE (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★☆
Friends and energy mix well. How you deal with a personal matter is very different than usual right now. Do not give in to an audience. You need to stop and think. Sometimes the mutual consensus is not right. Tonight: Start the weekend in style.

First place on line against Longhorns
KU Tip-off
ALA GLANCE
Saturday night's game is arguably the biggest game of the season for Kansas. A victory would put the Jayhawks solely in first place in the conference. Kansas comes in as one of the hottest teams in the country, riding a 10-game winning streak.
LAST TIME OUT
PLAYER TO WATCH
- Kansas got past Baylor in Allen Fieldhouse Tuesday night, 76-61. The victory set up Saturday's game for first place in the Big 12 Conference. Freshman forward Julian Wright scored a career-high 20 points on just 10 of 11 shooting from the field. The victory was Kansas' 10th straight. Sophomore center CJ Giles scored in double figures for the first time in more than a month, with 10 points.
Rush. He will likely spend most of the night on Texas' leading scorer, junior forward P.J. Tucker. Rush needs stay out of foul trouble so that he can contribute and be more aggressive on the offensive end. This will be Rush's most difficult defensive assignment of the season, and if he gets the job done, Kansas will have an easier road to victory.
8-0 The record Kansas has with three of their freshmen in the starting lineup: Rush, Wright and freshman guard Mario Chalmers.
14. 2 Rush's scoring average
16 — The average amount of KU turnovers per game.
36. 3. — The field goal percentage allowed by Kansas, which leads the Big 12 Conference.
No.16 Kansas vs. No.7 Texas,ESPN 8 p.m., Saturday, Frank Erwin Center
LOOKING AHEAD
2. 62 — Steals per game for Chalmers; it ties him for first in the conference.
A victory would give Kansas a leg up in the conference leading into its final two regular season games. The Jayhawks would need to win just one more game to have at least a share of the regular season title.The victory would also give them the top seed in the Big 12 conference tournament and enhance their seed in the NCAA tournament.
KEY TO VICTORY
Limit turnovers. Kansas averages 16 turnovers per game. Against a team like Texas, if Kansas struggles handling the basketball, it may be an easy night for the Longhorns. The Jayhawks have turned the ball over mainly in the first half. The Longhorns will build a large lead by halftime if this trend continues. If Kansas limits its turnovers and doesn't limit its possessions, it would be more feasible to pull off the upset.
Kansas
Offense
Texas
OFFENSE KU KU KU
Kansas is going to have to learn how to take care of the basketball if it hopes to have any chance against Texas in Austin. The Jayhawks have been averaging 16 turnovers a game. Many of those turnovers have occurred in the first half, and if Kansas has the same problem on Saturday, the game might be over by half-time. Freshman guard Mario Chalmers and sophomore guard Russell Robinson will need to make sure that the ball is not passed inefficiently. If Kansas can minimize turnovers, it will have a good chance of pulling out the victory.

Defense

Coaching
Texas will come into Saturday's game with one of the most potent offenses in the conference. On any given night, any player in the starting five could lead the team in scoring. Junior forward P.J.Tucker is the team's leading scorer, averaging 16.3 points per game. Tucker missed last year's Kansas-Texas game because he was academically ineligible. Besides Tucker, Texas features one of the best inside-outside combinations in sophomore guard Daniel Gibson and sophomore forward LaMarcus Aldridge. Gibson had the best game out of anyone last year against Kansas, pouring in 19 points and dishing out five assists.
There's been no bigger surprise on this Kansas team than its defensive play. The Jayhawks lead the conference in field goal percentage allowed with a mere 36.3 percent per game. This trend will need to be continued against the Longhorns, who are averaging nearly 78 points per game. Freshman guard Brandon Rush will play a large role in limiting the Texas scoring opportunities. Rush, who is Kansas' best scoring option, will need to aggressively defend junior forward P.J. Tucker while staying out of foul trouble. With all the offensive weapons Texas has, if Rush can shut down one of them then Kansas should be in good shape.
KU KU KU
- Ryan Colaianni
Kansas coach Bill Self has led his team to victory in 17 of the past 19 games. This run is why many national media pundits are talking about Self for National Coach of the Year. He has been able to develop his young talent at the right time. Saturday's game will likely determine which team will come out on top in the Big 12 Conference. Expect Self to have his team prepared for a Texas zone defense. With a victory against Texas, Self will lock up Big 12 Coach of the Year and will increase his argument for National Coach of the Year.
Defense
Offensively, Texas is good. Defensively, Texas might be even better. Texas is ranked No. 1 in the conference in scoring defense right ahead of Kansas, allowing just 59.8 points per game. Texas' biggest strength on defense might be its rebounding ability. Aldridge and Tucker are first and second in rebounding in the conference averaging 9.3 and 9.2 rebounds per game respectively. Aldridge's defensive abilities do not stop at
bundling. He also leads the cowference in blocked shots with 53.Texas showed a lot of zone defense against Kansas State Wednesday night and might do that again against Kansas, forcing the team to take outside shots.
Coaching
Sasha Kaun
.
Coach Rick Barnes is in his eighth season as head man at Texas. Before Texas, Barnes experienced success at Providence and Clemson. In his tenure at Texas, he has already taken the team to a school-record seven consecutive NCAA tournament appearances, and is well on his way to earn an eighth bid. Barnes' Longhorns have also secured their seventh straight 20-win season this year, which is also a school record.

UT Tip-off
ALA GLANCI
Texas comes into Saturday night's game as the best team Kansas has faced all season. Texas is ranked seventh in both polls and sits at 11-2 in conference play, tied with Kansas for first place. Texas has quality victories against West Virginia, tow, Memphis and Villanova. The team's only losses are to No. 1 Duke, No. 11 Tennessee, No. 20 Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.
LAST TIME OUT
- Texas might have overlooked Kansas State in preparing for Kansas. The Longhorns escaped from Manhattan Wednesday night with a one-point victory against the Wildcats. Senior guard Kenton Paulino was a perfect 4-4 from the free-throw line in the final 16 seconds to secure the victory for Texas. Sophomore forward LaMarcus Aldridge had 16 points and junior forward P.J. Tucker had a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds.
- Tucker. It will be one of the more intriguing match-ups of the season when Tucker faces off against freshman guard Brandon Rush. Rush hasn't had to guard anyone as physical as Tucker in his college career and Tucker has guarded plenty of players as good as Rush. If experience is any sign, the advantage goes to Tucker. Tucker will be a tough player to keep off the boards and Rush will have to know where he is at all times.
PLAYER TO WATCH
5 QUICK FACTS
4-23 Texas' numbers from three-point land last season against Kansas. With Aldridge and Tucker back in the mix, look for the three-point attempts to decrease and for Texas to try to pound the ball inside more.
1,139 — Texas outscores its opponents 1,139 to 868 in the second half
14-1 — Texas' record at home this season. Texas' only loss came to Tennessee after its loss to Duke.
59. 7 — Aldridge is shooting nearly 60 percent from the field this season. That is a product of easy baskets. Kansas will have to have a body on him at all times and contest every shot he takes.
1 — This is the first time ESPN's College Gameday has traveled to Austin to do a show.
*A loss would all but guarantee Texas a second-place finish in the conference. After Kansas, Texas still has two very tough games: At Texas A&M and at home against Oklahoma. If the Longhorns lose, it would be their third conference loss of the season. If Texas can beat Kansas, it's in a great position to capture the conference championship, but a victory does not guarantee it.
LOOKING AHEAD
KEY TO VICTORY
The inside game. The most physical team Kansas has faced all year before this game was Oklahoma. Kansas struggled to control Oklahoma's big men for 32 minutes before rallying to come back. If Aldridge, Tucker and senior forward Brad Buckman play well for 32 minutes, it will get ugly. Kansas has enough bodies to throw at Texas so those three must stay out of foul trouble. But if they're on the floor and productive, look for Texas to come away with a victory.

The winner of this game will have an inside track at making the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Both teams are 7-6 in conference and have been playing solid ball lately. Texas A&M has won four in a row and is above .500 in conference play for just the second time in school history. Nebraska is paced by senior Wes Wilkinson.

Both teams will meet after playing in one-point games. Oklahoma beat Texas Tech on the road Monday night 71-70. Senior forward Kevin Bookout had a tip-in with just seconds remaining to secure the victory for the Sooners. Kansas State is coming off a one-point loss to Texas at home.

Missouri is just looking to avoid the cellar in the Big 12. Missouri is 4-9 in conference play and play a late lead against Texas A&M at home Tuesday night. Missouri guard Thomas Gardner did score 21 points, giving him his 14th game with 20 or more points.

LEGISLATURE
Non-citizen tuition mulled
FRED A. DAVIS III
fdavis@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The legislation to repeal the undocumented resident/instate tuition bill is being brought back for a re-vote.
The repeal had been voted down Feb. 15 in a Kansas House of Representatives committee.
House Speaker Doug Mays requested a re-vote last week on the repeal bill. Mays declined comment for this story.
Controversial tuition bill may be repealed
Federal and State Affairs Committee Chairman John Edmunds (R-Great Bend) said that Mays had approached him last Wednesday afternoon to request the re-vote.
The re-vote will take place Wednesday in the Federal and State Affairs Committee.
Rep. Tom Burroughs (D-Kansas City), Ranking Minority Member of the House and Federal Affairs Committee, said that he was quite surprised by the re-
vote request and he could only remember one or two instances during his nine-year tenure in which a re-vote had been requested.
Edmunds said that Mays had wanted the repeal bill to make it to the House floor.
Edmunds, who was the tying vote to defeat the repeal bill in committee, said he was undecided as to how he will vote
Wednesdav.
Burroughs, who had voted against the repeal, said he had no doubt that the repeal would make it out of committee now that Mays was involved.
Burroughs said the repeal was an extremely divisive issue and he hoped when the bill was discussed, people would do the morally right thing.
Concerning his feeling about the repeal, Burroughs said, "The fabric of this bill goes against the foundation of this country."

Engineers show off
Expo highlights entertaining student projects

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A giant game of electronic tic-tac-toe lit one wall of Eaton Hall's computer commons, but the young visitors found their way to a smaller, darker lab instead.
Inside that room they found some youthful familiarity among the other engineering exhibits – the Ultimate Gaming Machine, designed over winter break by William Blake, Olathe graduate student.
"It's hard to get them to leave," he said. "A few of them come back twice."
KANSAS
The Ultimate Gaming Machine featured a 27-inch television screen and real arcade replacement parts. Users could play more than 15,000 games, including original arcade games such as pinball and favorites from Nintendo, Sega and Nintendo 64. While Blake's knowledge of electrical engineering made his creation possible, his motivation was the challenge and pride that came with such a design.
Blake's machine was one of several exhibits engineering students presented at the annual Engineering Expo Friday, Feb. 24 and Saturday, Feb. 25 at Eaton and Learned halls. This year's event, named "Extreme Engineering," featured exhibits engineering students and student professional organizations and drew more than 700 area elementary, middle and high school students.
Stuart Bell, dean of engineering, said the hands-on activities allowed younger students to learn what the field is about.
"It's a chance where they can touch and feel projects in engineering." he said.
Expo presents an opportunity for those students to relate to current engineering students in and out of the classroom, Bell said.

Head Start aids student parents Program gives those busy with toddlers time to attend classes
BY KRISTEN JARBOE
kjarboe@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Jamie Reeves is able to attend morning classes while her 3-year-old son, Chance, is at school.
Reeves, Liberal freshman and single parent, attends classes from 8 to 10:45 a.m. and then has an hour to meet with teachers or her math tutor before she picks Chance up.
Chance is one of 78 children who participate in Head Start, a program for preschoolers in Lawrence that allows KU students who are single parents to attend classes while their children are cared for.
The program also provides volunteer opportunities for the KU students who work with the children. The program targets children ages 3 to 5 who have special needs or whose parents have low income.
The classrooms operate from 8 a.m. to noon. Education for the children is free, so Reeves feels more at ease financially.
"It helps me out a lot because there's nobody that could watch him during the day." Reeves said. "It works out great."
Head Start is part of the Community Children's Center. Classes are held at three locations: Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St., Kennedy Elementary School, 1605 Davis Road, and East Heights Early Childhood Family Center, 1430 Haskell Ave.

Jamie Reeves Liberal freshman and single parent
Reeves likes how open Head Start is to parents helping out in the classroom. She can go in anytime and be involved as much as she wants, she said.
Kelly Cook, program coordinator for Head Start, said parent involvement was important to the program.
"It's something we're always stressing," she said.
Cook also likes seeing KU student volunteers get involved. Last semester, about 60 students volunteered for Head Start, which was the most the program had ever had.
"We've had a lot come back this semester," Cook said. "They like it so much they decide to return."
Volunteers assist teachers by working with the students in groups or individually, reading books, playing with them indoors and outdoors or simply giving the children extra attention.
Some teachers in the School of Social Welfare, like associate professor Alice Lieberman, state in their syllabi that students must complete 20 to 30 hours a semester at Head Start.

"Elephant beaten with candy and little pops and chews all bolts and reckless reckless rats, this is this."
— Gertrude Stein,
from "Tender Buttons"
Fact of the Day
The founder of Reuters news service, Paul Julius Reuter, got his start in the business in 1850. He transported stock prices between Aachen, Germany, and Brussels, Belgium, with a fleet of 45 homing pigeons, who carried the news in two hours, which beat the railroad by six hours. His pigeons were replaced by the telegraph a year later.

KANSAN CORRESPONDANT
March 1, 1955 - A crowd of 17,228 fans gathered for the University of Kansas men's basketball game against Kansas State.
The feelhouse was an answer to accommodating the growing student body at the University. Previously, Hoch Auditorium served as the basketball team's home, but the facility lacked adequate seating and the cement floor under the basketball court caused player injuries.
While the Jayhawks left the court with an 11-point victory, the main event of the night was the dedication of Allen Fleldhouse, which was a memorable moment for coach Forrest "Phor" Allen.

rium for games, which caused problems during the winter weather.
Allen said he felt, "very unworthy and deeply grateful" when he heard the new basketball facility would be honored in his name.
The name for the fieldhouse was disputed. Many believed the rightful name for the new facility should have been the inventor of basketball, James Naismith.
Many others believed the fieldhouse should have been named in honor of Allen, "the father of basketball coaching." A hyphenation of the two names was also suggested.
The University Daily Kansan held a poll, and the students favored Allen, but the final decision was left up to the Board of Regents.
The new fieldhouse gave the basketball players a better facility and provided more seats for fans, but most importantly the facility gave Allen the opportunity to recruit better players for the layhawks.
The summer after the fieldhouse was completed, Allen recruited one of basketball's most legendary players, Wilt Chamberlain.
At the dedication, Allen said,
"I humbly accept this fieldhouse
as a tribute to all the players
past, present and future at the
University."
March 2, 1917 - With World War I on the minds of many Americans, the KU faculty wired President Woodrow Wilson a message that gave, "their unqualified support in any measure taken to preserve the honor and integrity of the United States."
March 3, 1906 – Forrest “Phog” Allen, scored 26 points in his final game at Kansas. He left Kansas in 1906 for Baker University, who had offered him room, board and a stipend for coaching its basketball team. While Allen was only a player on the KU basketball team for one season, he returned to KU in 1907 to coach.
March 4, 2001 - The men's swimming and tennis teams were eliminated from the KU Athletics Department. There are now only three men's swimming teams and eight men's tennis teams in the Big 12 Conference.

ENTERTAINMENT
Comedy tops box office, others flounder
Tyler Perry fans reunited at theaters for another tale of mad black women.
DAVID GERMAIN
AP MOVIE WRITER
"Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Reunion," a comic drama in which writer-director Perry also stars in three roles, debuted as the weekend's No. 1 movie with $30.25 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
It was a second gold mine for Lionsgate Films, which also released Perry's "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," the movie that
opened as No. 1 with $21.9 million on the same weekend last year.
Lionsgate hopes to have a third Perry movie out over the same weekend next year, said Steve Rothenberg, the company's president of distribution.
"It's a time when we can really dominate the box office," Rothenberg said. "If we were out at Christmas,we'd be competing with the big holiday and Oscar films, but late February with Black History Month and less competition is a great time period for us."
New Line's crime thriller "Running Scared," starring Paul Walker as a mobster scrambling to recover a gun used in the slaying of a cop, opened at No. 9 with $3.1 million.
This weekend's other new wide releases flopped. The Weinstein Co. animated tale "Doogal," a fairy-tale adventure with a voice cast that includes Whoopi Goldberg, Kylie Minogue and Jimmy Fallon, debuted at No. 8 with $3.6 million.
Though "Madea's Family Reunion" opened stronger than "Diary of a Mad Black Woman,"
the overall weekend box office declined. The top 12 movies took in $99.8 million, down 4.4 percent from the same weekend last year.
Based on Perry's stage play, "Madea's Family Reunion" depicts a variety of domestic crises as a clan prepares for a reunion. Among the characters Perry plays is the heavyset, pistol-packing Grandma Madea, whom he also played in "Diary of a Mad Black Woman."
Perry's stories about empowerment of women set among Madea's family have a built-in
following among black audiences familiar with his plays and video versions of the tales. Black women 35 and older made up 52 percent of the movie's audience, according to Lionsgate.
"The themes Tyler Perry presents resonate very strongly with the black community." said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations. "It reminds me of 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding.' It has elements of comedy and drama and community that just definitely works."

"This money will go a long way to enhancing women's health care," said Patricia Thomas, principal investigator of the grant and chair of the department of pathology and laboratory medicine. "I think that it allows an opportunity for researchers from different disciplines to interact and collaborate."

When Charbonneau realized the University had applied for the grant, she immediately saw the opportunity to develop as a researcher.
Andrea Charbonneau, assistant professor of medicine, is one of four researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center who receives funds from the competitive National Institutes of Health grant.
"I knew that this would be a fantastic opportunity for me to have more time to learn more research skills and develop a clinical research program," she said.
The program pairs Charbonneau with senior faculty members and mentors while providing additional research assistance for her project on women's weight control in Kansas.
The multidisciplinary initiative allows researchers from any school at the Medical Center to apply, including the Schools of Medicine, Allied
Interested faculty members apply to an internal review committee, which evaluates the potential of the candidate based on proposed research and career plans. Selection also depends on the candidate's ability to collect additional funding for research beyond the initial grant.
Thomas said the combination of the interdisciplinary focus with a strong support base for participating faculty members would lead to new ideas in women's medicine that could benefit everyone.
Health, Nursing and Pharmacy, as long as candidates have held a doctorate degree for less than six years and have research relating to women's health issues.
The committee selects up to four faculty members each year and guarantees a balance between clinical science and traditional science research.

Law day honors Justice Marshall
BLACK HISTORY MONTH
BY ANNE WELTMER
aweltmer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The KU chapter of the National Black Law Students Association hosted its 10th Annual Thurgood Marshall Law Day for high school students from six high schools in the Lawrence and greater Kansas City, Kan., area.
The program honored Justice Marshall, the first black man appointed to the Supreme Court in 1967, taught students from Free State, Summer Academy, Harmon, Schlagle, Washington and Wyandotte about the law and how it applies to each of them and encouraged secondary education and possibly law school, said Kristin J. Conwell, BLSA president and St. Louis law student.
The program included a video about Marshall's achievements, from being a NAACP lawyer to being the first black Solicitor General.
Several professors spoke about different aspects of the law and addressed other topics of the day. Professor Joyce Pearson talked about the college entrance exams, with her speech "It's Only a Test." She said that the tests are important and students need to study and face them. They will need to take tests after college to get into graduate or law school. After law school, the have to take the bar exam to be able to practice law. She stressed that life is full of tests and there's no need to be scared about them. She also talked about how the tests are less emphasized in college admissions now, partly because they've proven that success is based on socio-economic status and race.
Princeton Summerville, a junior from Sumner Academy in Kansas City, Kan., said that he came because he was thinking about going to the University of Kansas and then maybe Washburn University for law school. He said he thought the facts about Marshall were interesting and that he wasn't too worried about the college entrance exams.
Other programs of the day included "4th Amendment and Your Rights" by Professor Jean Phillips, L.J. Buckner as a speaker and "Law and the Killing of Innocents" by Professor Thomas Stacy.

Graduate student William Blake of Olathe plays an arcade with some local elementary students at Friday's Engineering Expo. Blake made his arcade emulator from scratch over winter break. Blake told the kids, "This is why you do engineering, so you can make cool stuff."

Expo
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Although the event serves as a recruiting tool for the School of Engineering, Expo is student-designed and student-run.
"Students do a lot more than in the classroom," Bell said.
The various engineering departments displayed past design projects and demonstrated flight and space shuttle simulators and a wind tunnel. Two radios ran on renewable energy sources, one inside and one outside on the Learned Hall lawn. One group
gave away free T-shirts by launching them with a trebuchet, a "fancy catapult," said Curtis Havercamp, Expo co-chair and Hoyt sophomore. Havercamp said a group of mechanical engineering students purchased enough pancake mix to make 960 pancakes during their pancake feed. Next year, the KU chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers hopes to introduce an automatic pancake maker, said Travis Sippel, Sutton, Neb., senior. Down the hall, chemical engineering students made home-brewed root beer.
In the courtyard area between Learned and Eaton hills, the Society of Automotive Engineers displayed their competitive race cars from previous years. Logan Johnson, SAE president and Lawrence senior, said the younger students loved getting into the race cars, but that they would back off and stare in awe when the engines revived up. Expo allows engineering students to show off, Johnson said, and see other people get excited about a project they personally worked on.
Having lived in the country for almost 15 years now, Delia is seeking citizenship through the sponsorship of her aunt, a U.B. citizen. Delia turned in her paperwork in 2000 to begin the legalization process.
— Edited by Hayley Travis
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Instate
Delia said that because she was going through her aunt to gain citizenship, the wait to become a legal citizen could take longer than if she were sponsored by her sister, who was born in the United States. The legalization process is less restrictive when the sponsor is an immediate family member. The problem for Delia is her sister is only 13, and federal law stipulates a person must be 21 to sponsor another person for citizenship.
Given the public debate that surrounds illegal immigration in the United States, Delia remains quiet about her immigration status with others because, she said. "It's easier that way."
"That way there's nothing to explain," she said.
Perhaps the biggest reason that Delia is reluctant to tell others about her situation is the fear of how they will characterize her. Delia said she didn't think some people were mature enough to understand the issue of immigration in this country. She also noted that a lot of children like her had no control over their choice to come to this country illegally.
There are people that Delia does talk to regarding her situation — like Melinda Lewis and others at El Centro inc. in Kansas City, Kan. El Centro is a not-for-profit enterprise that helps families in the Kansas City community. The company's purpose, according to its mission statement, "is to create and sustain educational, social and economic opportunities for families." Lewis, director of policy advocacy and research at El Centro, called Delia "one of the most obsessively-determined-to-succeed students" she had ever met.
Lewis has helped Delia get scholarships to help pay for her education in the absence of financial aid. Numerous minority scholarships require a social security number, thus disqualifying her.
Delia received a scare Sunday when she found out that a Kansas Legislative committee would re-vote on a previously defeated bill to repeal the in-state tuition bill. Last month, Rep. Becky Hutchins (R-Holton) proposed legislation to repeal the 2004 in-state tuition bill. The repeal subsequently died in a committee hearing nearly two weeks ago, but has been brought back for a re-e vote at the request of House Speaker Doug Mays (R-Topeka).
"I hope they don't lose their heads," Delia said in reference to the re-vote. "This bill is not just for striving students, but for America itself," she said.
What would happen to Delia if the bill did get repealed?
"I would have to go to Mexico to study."
Lewis added that the instate tuition bill was important not just to undocumented immigrants, but to the siblings of undocumented aliens as well. Lewis said there were many cases where immigrant families had one documented child and one undocumented child — as is the case with Delia and her younger sister. Lewis said it set a positive example for the younger sibling to see the older one in school, thus creating a "multiplier effect" in the community and starting a "college family."
Even with the unsetting reality that she could be deported at any time or that a repeal of the in-state tuition bill could derail her KU career, Delia remains remarkably upbeat.
"One thing I've learned is not to worry about things that I can't control, whatever happens, happens," Delia said.
So while Delia waits for the notoriously long citizenship process to run its course, she continues to do what she's always done — keep working hard. Using her family as motivation, Delia, a 3.0 student, maintains an arduous 18-hour course load and stays focused on her goal for after graduation — attending medical school.
Lewis, meanwhile, said she had no doubt that Delia would become a doctor someday, she just hoped nothing — legislative or otherwise — would prevent her from doing so.

School district fails to punish principal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — A federal inquiry has found that the Wichita County school district did not take appropriate action against a former high school principal who reportedly pinched a female student.
The report from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights showed that a Leoti USD 467 investigator found "inappropriate touching" took place about 18 months ago between a freshman girl at Wichita County High School and thenprincipal Duane Custer.
The report, released earlier this month, also said Custer was accused of making inappropriate remarks about other female students' bodies.
As a result of the federal inquiry, USD 467 agreed to settle the matter by reviewing and amending the district's sexual harassment policy.
Mark and Barbie Wilbur accused Custer of sexual harassing their daughter and sought the federal inquiry after they were told of the pinching incident. They said the report's conclusions gave them some relief.
Custer denied the incident and maintained his innocence.
"It didn't happen," he said. "I am keenly aware of sexual harassment policies." Custer said in a prepared statement, "and as an administrator I have a duty to protect students, and I have always strived to do so."
In October 2004, the USD 467 school board decided against imposing any disciplinary action in the Aug. 27, 2004, incident. But Custer stepped down as principal at the end of the 2004-05 school year and now heads the Salina Area Technical School.
Salina USD 305 Superintendent Robert Winter, said district officials learned of the incident shortly after hiring Custer and looked into the matter.
A witness told the Office of
Civil Rights that she saw the Wilbur girl and Custer talking near a locker room entrance at the Wichita County school in the lead up to the apparent pinching.

"What are you smiling at?" Custer asked her. The girl did not respond and then, the witness said, Custer "pinched her on the bottom," causing her to flinch according to the agency's report.

The report outlined other incidents involving Custer. Three students testified that the former principal, speaking at a May 24, 2004, freshman orientation, singled out two students by name as examples of "physically developed" females.

Mooners beware: nudity not OK
BY MARY FOSTER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Four hours into his second 12-hour shift of the weekend in the French Quarter, Officer Jonathan Carroll Jr. has been busy answering questions, giving directions, listening to drunken declarations of love and drunken jokes amid the endless roar of the crowd.
Quarter, he acknowledged, but not everything. So when a man drops his trousers, Carroll snaps a handcuff onto his arm before he pulled his pants back up.
After 10 years as a cop and six monitoring Mardi Gras, he's learned to be patient.
"It's never the local people," Carroll said. "They know how to behave. It's always the tourist from Nebraska or somewhere who've seen things on television and think anything goes."
You can do a lot of things during Carnival in the French
Police tolerate flashing breasts, simulating sex acts and generally lascivious behavior. But topping the list of things that aren't allowed are fighting, urinating on the streets and exposing genitalia.
"Any exposure below the waist will get you arrested," said State Police Trooper Arrid Hansell.
Although a smaller crowd was expected for this year's Carnival after Hurricane Katrina destroyed much of the city, police said it did not look like anyone passed up the last weekend of the celebration before Mardi Gras.
"They're just here earlier and there are a lot more locals than normal." Caroll said.
Ordinarily, most New Orleans residents skip the French Quarter frenzy in favor of family celebrations along the parade routes, but many said they changed their minds after being exiled by Katrina.
"You can't spend Mardi Gras in Birmingham," says Judy Jones, who lost her Chalmette house in the Aug.29 storm.
Arrests are swift and humiliating. As officers lead miscreants into a fenced-in holding area, the crowd frequently breaks into the theme song from the television show "COPS," singing "Bad boys, bad boys."
"I can't believe this," sobs one man who was caught exposing himself. "I was an altar boy."

OUR OPINION
Court's refusal could endanger free speech
On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court announced its refusal to hear a case regarding the ability of university administrators to censor student publications. With that refusal, the court has put freedom of speech at risk not only at public universities and colleges, but in the nation at large.
The case in question involved the Innovator at Governors State University. In 2000, the newspaper published several articles critical of the university's administration. A dean called the paper's printer to order no further printing without an administrator's consent. The Innovator has not been printed since. While a federal court upheld a student lawsuit against the dean who demanded prior approval of content before publication, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals court dismissed the lawsuit.
In its decision, the court of appeals said the standards set down in Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier also applied to colleges and universities. The Hazelwood ruling has been used to interpret the First Amendment rights of primary and secondary school students and teachers and the publications they produce as a means to safety and peace in the classroom. It is disturbing to see that not only was a university given the green light to censor the tradition of free speech of college students, but that those students are essentially being told they are only capable of being as responsible as third graders.
The appellate court's reasoning is suspect. Other courts have found that Hazelwood does not
Issue: Supreme Court and freedom of speech
Stance: Universities should not restrict their student newspapers.
Such action isn't imminent in Kansas. The University Daily Kansan is independent of University financial assistance and the Kansas Legislature passed laws years ago to protect the freedom of speech at public schools against the Hazelwood ruling. Nevertheless, students, and citizens in general, should always be on the lookout for the restraint of everybody's right to speak out, regardless of whether a person is a student.
apply to college newspapers and other such publications. Kincaid v. Gibson found that a university's yearbook was not subject to the same standards as high school journalism and other courts have determined content of a publication should not require approval before printing.
The court's decision only applies to Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, but what if administrators at other universities decided to act in the same way because their institutions' student newspapers or yearbooks gave them bad press? Being unhappy with the coverage one receives is not a standard for censoring a publication, especially at a public university or college that should try to encourage the freedoms to which all adults in the United States have a right.

This letter is in response to Malinda Osborne for her editorial Monday, "Drug Policy Harms Neediest Students." Not only does the Higher Education Act Drug Provision punish students for minor drug offenses who are otherwise performing well in school, it does nothing to address the real problem some people have with drug abuse, especially alcohol abuse. A student with a serious drug habit who gets caught with drugs doesn't need to be kicked out of school. He or she needs to get help.

Hold Bush administration to same laws as citizens
It was tough being the eldest child in a large family. I didn't have an older sibling to keep me out of trouble or watch over me when I made a phone call. Thankfully, no one has to worry about that now because our Uncle Sam is willing to be a big brother to us all.
By now you've heard about the National Security Agency wiretapping, but unfortunately the truth seems to be getting shouted down by myths or stories of gun toting VPs. Before debunking the spin let's look at the cliff's notes version of what happened. After 9/11, President Bush authorized the NSA to intercept vast quantities of international telephone and Internet communications from innocent American citizens with no warrant — a direct violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the Fourth Amendment.
MYTH: This is a "terrorist surveillance program."
such an occasion.
JUSTIN LAMORT opinion@kansan.com
Changing the semantics alone doesn't make it any better. If someone is a terrorist there are already avenues that provide the government with the power to eavesdrop, such as FISA. These legal recourses were ignored.
What Google does is creepy but what the government did is criminal. Even the American Bar Association has come forward saying the unlawful surveillance should stop.
MYTH: The Government isn't doing anything that Google or Facebook wouldn't do.
MYTH: FISA is too slow.
FISA allows wiretaps to begin immediately in times of an emergency as long as you go to FISA—a judicial oversight group formed 1978 by the act— within three days. The judges are available at all hours and two judges are required in D.C. at all times for
MYTH: The president has the power to say what the law is.
"When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal," argued President Nixon not that long ago. Our country hasn't had a King George in years and after the last one I doubt we'll be getting a new one any time soon. No one is above the law in our country and the president is no exception. He was never given the authority to spy on U.S. citizens without some form of oversight, though after 9/11 he did get the revisions to FISA that he wanted including making it easier and faster to obtain wireset. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales admitted during a press conference that the administration didn't pursue enacting these changes in Congress because it would have been "difficult, if not impossible" to get this amended into FISA. So the only logical conclusions left were either that the
government couldn't meet the low warrant standards of FISA, which historically has approved more than 99 percent of all requests, or the president just didn't care to follow the law.
MYTH: This is all about politics.
MYR. This is an about points.
This isn't a question of right versus left but of right versus wrong. Democrats have been outraged by the illegal eavesdropping but they are hardly alone in their confusion and concern of possible abuse.
Criticism has come from across the Republican spectrum from moderates like Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) to Grover Norquist, who has been called "managing director of the hard-core right" by the Nation, a New York based liberal magazine. Even Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Penn.) has said, "There have been as many Republicans as Democrats who've spoken out on the issue."
MYTH: This isn't a big deal.
To quote Benjamin Franklin, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Our forefathers created a system of checks and balances for a reason. Our soldiers have bravely sacrificed their lives protecting our freedom for a reason. To argue it is of no importance is to argue against the very pillars of what makes this nation great and dishonor all those who've died to keep us free.

The last time my father was in town, we went out to eat. When we walked into a restaurant, my father said something that he probably didn't even think about. "Table for two, non-smoking." The hostess informed my dad that there was no more smoking in indoor public facilities in Lawrence. I only wish that the ban focused on more than just restaurants and bars.
Smoking is not beneficial to anyone's health. Lawrence, in addition to many other towns and cities across the country, seems to agree because of its enactment of the smoking ban.

COMMENTARY
MARCUS BENNEDOE
Ban falls short on promoting health
Although the smoking ban has done a lot to prevent people from smoking in indoor public places, it really hasn't focused anywhere else, like here at the University of Kansas.
When I walk to class, I find myself constantly holding my breath as I walk past clouds of smoke from some of my fellow students. I know that they are free to do what they want, but I want to know why they feel it is necessary to smoke. What are the positives that come with it? I can't think of any.
I have experienced the final effects of smoking first-hand, by having a very close family friend die because of lung cancer. It has been quite a while since it happened, but the events leading up to my friend's death put my family and me through a hell that I would never wish upon anyone. Something needs to be done about this problem and starting small is the key.
Towns and cities like Lawrence that have started smoking bans in certain areas are on the right track, but more still needs to be done.
If the city of Lawrence really wanted to shake things up, it could decide to further regulate smoking within the Lawrence community. A good way to do this would be by working together with the University to further enforce the regulations of the ban There is a University policy currently in place that requires smokers to be 20 feet away from certain building entrances, but this rule is never obeyed. If the city of Lawrence and the University did something to regulate smoking on campus by either designating smoking areas on campus or by actually enforcing the rules already in place, they would be informing the community as well as students that their well-being is important to the city.

BY AMIR SHAH
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan—Hundreds of Afghan soldiers with tanks and grenade-launchers surrounded Kabul's main prison Sunday after rioting inmates seized control of much of the facility in an uprising that officials blamed on al-Qaida and Taliban militants.
Gunshots occasionally rang out as troops tried to keep the prisoners bottled up. Officials said the rioters did not have any firearms but had armed themselves with small knives and clubs fashioned from wrecked furniture.
Local media reported several people were killed and dozens injured. But it appeared security forces had yet to gain access to parts of the jail under prisoners' control, so officials could not confirm reports of casualties. One official said at least four inmates were injured.
Smoke could be seen curling out of some cell windows, where inmates apparently set fire to bedding and furniture.
Government negotiators late Sunday suspended talks to end the standoff at the notorious Policharki jail, which later this year is slated to receive dozens of Afghans currently in U.S. military's Guantanamo prison.
The riot broke out late Saturday in Block Two of the prison, which houses about 1,300 of the 2,000 inmates. Officials said the violence began when inmates refused to put on new uniforms, which were ordered after seven Taliban prisoners escaped last month by disguising themselves as visitors.
Officials said some 350 al-Qaida and Taliban loyalists were among the inmates in that block. Abdul Salaam Bakshi, chief of prisons in Afghanistan, accused them of inciting the other prisoners, mostly common criminals.
The Afghan army said it deployed 800 soldiers around the prison. Along with NATO peacekeepers, they parked at least 10 tanks and armored personnel carriers outside the gates.
He said no inmates escaped from the prison block but guards had been forced out.
"We have surrounded the jail. There's no way to escape," Mohammed Qasim Hashimzai,
He said about 100 of the rioters from Block Two had taken control of the neighboring wing of the jail housing about 70 women.
deputy justice minister, said.
Another senior government official, who would speak only on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said prisoners had dug a tunnel to the women's wing_ explaining how they had managed to infiltrate it.
Hashimzai said attempts to negotiate the release of the women from the rioters' control foundered because of disunity among the inmates and confusion over their various demands. Prisoners also backtracked on an agreement to hand over their injured to the International Red Cross, he said.
"Unfortunately, the prisoners have no unity and have different demands. There's no one leader who can talk to us." Hashimzai said as he left the prison around dusk, adding that officials would try to resume negotiations Monday.
He gave no details about the prisoners' demands.
"We are human beings!" he quoted inmates as shouting. Others could be heard bellowing "God is great!" between volleys of gunfire.
But Ezamary, an army battalion commander who like many Afghans uses only a single name, said inmates had dropped notes from the windows complaining about the justice system and prison conditions.
Policharki, which lies on the eastern outskirts of Kabul, was built in the 1970s and has earned notoriously for its harsh and crowded conditions.
Afghan officials say some 110 Afghan terrorism suspects are expected to be transferred there later this year from the prison at the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Riots and breakouts have cast doubts over its readiness.
In December 2004, four inmates and four guards died during a 10-hour standoff that started when al-Qaida militants used razors to wrest guns from guards and then tried to break out.
Afghan troops stormed the prison and fired guns and rocket-propelled grenades to retake control.

MEN'S BASKETBALL: 80-55
Texas 'way too much' for Kansas
Rush, defense struggle in loss to Longhorns
BY RYAN COLIAMNI
colaiarni@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIETER
AUSTIN, Texas — Bill Self learned Saturday night that his team has another step to take if it is going to be one of the elite teams in the country this season.
With a national television audience, and ESPN's "College Gameday" in attendance, Kansas fell 80-55 to Texas.
"It is one game. I am not very happy now." Self said. "I think the way it ended up certainly told our team that there is another big step that we have to take."
The loss was the largest margin of defeat for Kansas under Self's leadership.
Texas led by as many as 28, which prompted the student section to chant, "Worse than Baylor," in reference to the 27-point victory Texas had against Baylor on Feb. 14.
Texas shot better than 55 percent in the game, which was the best a team has shot against Kansas this season. The Jayhawks were the No.1 ranked team in the conference in field-goal percentage defense coming into the game.
Freshman guard and KU leading scorer Brandon Rush struggled all night and connected on just 1-for-8 field goal attempts.
"The first half we didn't really stick to our defensive principles and they got comfortable," said freshman forward Julian Wright, who was the lone bright spot for Kansas with 18 points. "We didn't give ourselves a good chance to win because we kept harping on mistakes we made."
Kansas was unable to get into any offensive flow, appearing uninterested in a game that was its biggest of the season.
"This was as poor as he has looked since he has been here," Self said. "We expect a lot of Brandon, I know I do. I know fans do, but he has got to go through the same things that all other freshmen do."
Rush didn't connect on a field goal until nearly 30 minutes passed. He finished with three points. Rush said the team's performance was embarrassing.
The Longhorns dominated the Jayhawks in every facet of the game, from three-point shooting to rebounding. Texas had 12 offensive rebounds and
36 total rebounds. Kansas had only half as many total rebounds.
"That's a national championship-like performance tonight," Self said. "Certainly, they were way too much for us tonight."
Kansas also turned the ball over 16 times, nine of which were in the second half when Texas pulled away.
thing was just going right," sophomore guard Russell Robinson said.
"It is disappointing because we have been playing so well recently, you know a 10-game winning streak and every-
The loss was Kansas' first since the Jan. 16 loss at Missouri.
"We didn't become a bad team in 40 minutes tonight," Self said. "We played poorly, they made us play poorly and the kev is not to let one become two."
"We will learn from this one and correct it," he said.
"We really hadn't played anyone that good, so it was a real test," sophomore
center CJ Giles said. "We are not taking it as a down game, we are just taking it as another learning experience for us to build on to get to that next level."
With a one-game lead in the Big 12, Texas has games against Texas A&M and Oldahoma to finish the regular season. Kansas will face Colorado at home and Kansas State on the road to finish the regular season.

Don't fuss about Texas, basketball is for Kansas
TRAVIS ROBINETT
TROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
RONALD DICKS
AUSTIN, Texas — According to the natural order of college basketball, that wasn't the way the Texas game was supposed to go. Kansas was supposed to go into Austin and show that it was the one and only elite school in Big 12 basketball, despite its youth. Oh well. Kansas is still on top of the Big 12 basketball totem pole, and always will be.
Don't worry about Texas' 25-point victory on Saturday. Texas had more experience and the home court advantage. Don't worry about Texas defeating Kansas three out of the past four games. That run will be short-lived. Don't worry about the talented recruits Texas coach Rick Barnes will continue to bring in, or the number of Big 12 titles he wins.
Don't even worry if Texas wins a national championship. Texas is just not a basketball school, and never will be.
"We have a football national championship," Scott Butler a UT senior told me after the game.
Butler has been to all the basketball games this season. Very few of Texas' 50,000 students can say that. "If the basketball team wins, it's cool, but if they lose, no one cares," he said.
That was apparent at the Erwin Center. I wasn't sure whether I was at a college or NBA game. Every seat had a back with a cup holder. Despite being nearly twice the size of Allen Fieldhouse, the arena holds only about 1,000 more fans.
Where I sat was so warm, I struggled to recognize the Kansas players during warm-uns. That not all.
The lights were turned off for the player introductions, which included Longhorn spotlights. Every single television timeout had a gimmick with a giveaway. Some joker in a burnt orange blazer and backwards hat would come onto the court with a mic and explain the game about to be played. At one point, he even led "the wave." Come on, Texas, at least do it only when it's spontaneous.
With the Big 12 championship on the line Saturday, you would think fans would have shown up in full force. But the only reason the game was sold out was because Kansas was coming to town, and no, Texas fans don't get extra pumped up when their team plays the Jayhawks. The upper-deck looked like Allen Fieldhouse south. About one fourth of the nose-bleed seats were taken by KU fans.
"I wasn't surprised y'all showed up in force," Butler said about the thousands of KU fans. "In Kansas it's all about basketball. Here, it's all about football."
So congratulations to Texas. Barring a complete collapse down the stretch, it will win its second Big 12 basketball championship that no one cares about.
The only time the school can win one is when the Jayhawks are busy reloading their guns. Kansas will be back next year to kick Texas' butt in Allen Fieldhouse.

Offense dominates in overtime

Rarely does an overtime game turn into a blowout, but that's what the Kansas women's basketball team did on Saturday against Missouri.
Down by three in the final seconds of regulation, Missouri forced overtime by drawing a controversial shooting foul on a last-second three-point shot attempt.
Kansas responded by scoring the first eight points of overtime, coasting into an 81-71 victory.
Missouri (20-7) is likely headed to the NCAA tournament, making the victory for Kansas (16-10) even more important. It may just be the one that gets the team into the WNIT.
"I hope so," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We're going to try to get another one, though."
If Kansas makes the tournament it will be because of the senior class. Senior forward Crystal Kemp and senior guard Erica Hallman combined for 54 points on Saturday. Hallman's 29 were a career high, and all the more impressive because she was struggling to make shots early.
overtime situation, because of adrenaline."
Hallman was matched up against Missouri's Tiffany Brooks, who scored 26 points, but played only 43 of the 45 minutes because Hallman had worn her out.
"In overtime I was like 'man, my legs are starting to give out,'" said Hallman, who played all 45 minutes. "But you can't be fully tired in an
Hallman seemed to connect on all of her big shots down the stretch, alternately making baskets and encouraging her teammates.
"I just respect how much she's really trying to be a leader right now." Hendrickson said.
Kansas led by three near the end of regulation, but Missouri had one final possession. Forward Carlynn Savant couldn't free herself
from the Kansas defense. She leaned into junior guard Sharita Smith and heaved up a threepoint shot. The shot fell short, but a foul was called on Smith, and Savant went to the line.
"That was smart on her part to learn in," henrickson said. "Not all the time do you get that call because officials realize what she doing."

Lacrosse team sets new record

Broken Arrow Park served as the perfect location for the rock chalk chant on Saturday afternoon for the KU women's lacrosse team.
Earlier that day, the Jayhawks' offense overwhelmed Creighton by the score of 14-1.
It wasn't quite as loud as the chant in Allen Fieldhouse, but a group of about seven students got the point across with two minutes remaining in the game.
The KU women's lacrosse team defeated Truman State 11-4 on Saturday, capping off its weekend competition with a 2-0 record.
Sophomore Lisa Allen led the offensive attack for the Jayhawks, scoring six goals in the victory against Truman State. Allen, who already holds several University scoring records, serves as team captain and president as well.
Allen holds the school club record for single-season goals and single-season points, David Wiley, KU women's lacrosse coach, said.
The difference between these two is that points include both goals and assists.
Freshman Crystal Thomas contributed to the Kansas attack, adding four goals in the afternoon's convincing victory.
"The team is setting records
for wins and scoring this year, and the team is very young," Wiley said.
Saturday's victory improved the team's record to 12-2 on the season. The team is on an eight-game winning streak.
The team will look to continue its winning ways when it takes on Missouri next Saturday.
"We have had a lot of consistency this year, and the
young girls have been able to pick up the sport really quickly." Allen said.

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
After four days of battling Missouri for third place in the Big 12 Championships, the Kansas swimming and diving team fell just short in College Station, Texas.
The team finished fourth out of six teams in the tournament.
Kansas (439) finished behind Texas (942.5).Texas A&M (761), and Missouri (453). Kansas finished ahead of Nebraska (386.5) and Iowa State (357).
"We did all we could, it came down to the last day," senior cocaptain Gina Gnaizg said.
The second day of competition started with the Jayhawks in third and highlighted a school record-breaking performance by Gnatzig in the 500-yard freestyle.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Gnatzig set a school record in the preliminaries with a time of 4:48.77. She went on to finish
fifth with a time of 4:49.28.
"I really trained hard in my freestyle, and I am glad it paid off in the end," Gnazig said. "With it being my last year, it meant a lot to leave something behind."
The Jayhawks finished the day in fourth place.
On the third day, the 200-yard free relay finished fifth with a time of 1:35.12. Gnatzig finished sixth in the 200-yard free with a time of 1:49.38. Kansas was able to advance to third place on the busiest day of competition.
On the fourth day, Kansas finished the 400-yard free relay with a time of 3:26.83, placing third. However, the Jayhawk effort was not enough to pull past the Tigers; Kansas finished the championships in fourth.
"Overall, I think we had real solid performances," Gnatzig said.

Collision lands two players in hospital
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
BASEBALL
A diving collision in the second inning Saturday put two Kansas starters in the hospital and forced the team to use a rearranged lineup to put away Lipscomb University, 15-10.
Senior outfielder Matt Baty and junior outfielder Kyle Murphy collided in what turned out to be an eventual double for Lipscomb's Ryan Mitchell.
Both were sent to a local hospital. Kansas coach Ritch Price would not comment on either
player's condition.
Kansas (9-4) used six non-starters and six pitchers en route to the victory.
Designated hitter Brock Simpson went 2-for-4, scored twice, and drove in three against the Bisons. Sophomore second baseman Matt Berner stepped in for fellow sophomore Ryne Price at second and drove in four runs on the afternoon.
"They had a couple of bad at bats early in the game," Ritch Price said of the pair. "But in the late innings they came back, hit clutch and put up some BRI for us."
The early afternoon didn't go
particularly well for any of the Jayhawks. Price said after the game that Bisons starter sophomore lefty Paul Piennette was throwing a curve ball that came across at 74 mph.
The Jayhawks fell behind 4-1 by the end of the fifth inning, but Kansas posted five runs in the sixth and seventh innings to take an 11-5 lead. Between the two clubs, however, nine more runs were yet to be scored.
Seven of Pienette's nine strike-outs came in those opening innings, but he eventually took the loss.

The 11-5 lead Kansas built
dwindled down to one, but the team poured on four runs in the top of the ninth to end all thoughts of a Libscomb comeback.
In all, 12 pitchers were used and 25 runs were scored at Marsh Stadium. Senior right-hander Ricky Fairchild (5-1) picked up the victory for Kansas. Senior Don Czyz locked up the game and tallied his fifth save of 2006.
"I don't think that was our plan," Price said. "We had a chance to blow the game open, but we let them back in a little bit."

The loss was the biggest under Kansas coach Bill Self, topping a 21-point loss last season against Villanova.

Texas' forwards stun Kansas Bench players, not Aldridge, surprise many
BY DANIEL BERK

KANSAN dENRIER SPORTSWITTER
It came as a bit of a surprise, considering Aldridge had just poured in 18 points on 9-for-10 shooting, grabbed eight rebounds and blocked four shots in the victory.
AUSTIN Texas — After Kansas' 80-55 loss at Texas, Kansas coach Bill Self couldn't quite remember LaMarcus Aldridge's name.
Self was talking about the dominance of the starting front line of Aldridge, Brad Buckman and PL. Tucker.
He remembered Buckman's and Tucker's names, but couldn't quite come up with Aldridge's name.
"Aldridge, yeah I should remember his name." Self said. "When their three big men combine for 25 boards and our three combine for 10 and our guys played more minutes, it tells you something. It was a lot of mature guys playing against guys not as physically strong."
In total, Texas outrebounded Kansas 36-19 in the game. Buckman had nine rebounds and Tucker and Aldridge each grabbed eight.
Aldridge was the most dominant, controlling Kansas' sophomore centers Sasha Kaun and CJ Giles throughout the game. It didn't take long for Aldridge to get involved, scoring Texas' first bucket; a jump shot over Kaun at the top of the key.
After the game, with a big smile on his face, Aldridge said he had rushed that shot and that's what caused him not to be perfect on the night. Aldridge said the team had worked all week on exploiting the match-up down low and tried to make a conscious effort to get the ball in the hands of the three big men.
Aldridge's pace didn't slow much as he racked up 12 points on a perfect 6-for-6 shooting and also grabbed five rebounds in the first half.
He finally missed his first shot with 6:53 to play in the same.
"Coach talked all week about how they crash the boards," Aldridge said. "So, we just wanted to make sure we did that and were real physical with them. It wasn't easy. We had to fight for position and follow the game plan coached laid out."
Self said after the game that he wasn't surprised by Aldridge's performance. It was another player on the Texas roster, freshman guard A.J. Abrams that Self said was the game-changer.
"We all knew LaMarcus was going to come out and put up boards and score points, but for Abrams to come out and score the way he did. He was the best player in the first half," he said.
Abrams was a perfect 4-for-4 from three point distance in the first half. Most of his attempts were wide-open looks because Kansas' defenders were double-teaming Tucker.
Abrams was not the only bench player to produce for Texas Freshman center Connor Atchley had five points and four rebounds in ten minutes.
"The key tonight for us was our bench play." Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "A lot of people have doubted our bench, but they showed up and played extremely well tonight."

Editor's Note: The Kansan Big 12 Power Rankings are voted on by Ryan Colaiani, Kansas men's basketball writer, Daniel Berk, Big 12 men's basketball writer, Eric Sorrentino, sports editor, and Erick R. Schmidt, associate sports editor.
Not surprisingly, Texas overtook Kansas as the top team in this week's rankings. At this point, the Longhorns are without a doubt the Big 12's strongest contender. The Jayhawks, despite their woes Saturday night, maintained a second-place position in both the conference standings and this week's rankings.
The biggest controversy this week came at the No. 4 spot. The parallels between Colorado and Texas A&M go beyond the tie the two teams were locked into in this week's voting. The two teams share identical conference and overall records on the season. Colorado got the nod for the No. 4 position based on the fact that it beat Texas A&M in a head-to-head match-up on Feb. 8.
The "Worse than Baylor" chants that have been known to show up at Big 12 games may have to cease soon. The Bears knocked off Iowa State this weekend for their third conference victory of the season. Missouri blew a big lead at Colorado Saturday, and could be in danger of finishing behind mighty Baylor in the conference standings. Baylor has Texas Tech and Oklahoma State left on the schedule, while Missouri has Iowa State and Nebraska in the race for irrelevance.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) *** Knowing when to kick back could help create much more of what you want. Right now, the time is ripe for an inner resolution or reflection. You could lose your temper out of the blue and damage a relationship. Unexpected events open up your perspective.
Greg Griesenaver/KANSAN
-
*TAURUS (April 20-May 20) *****
You can zero in on what you want. Meetings and networking can help point你 in the right direction. You could be jolted by the cost of a project or another's request. Consider what is going on with others; you can be sure something is happening.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ****
Take charge and honor your feelings. Realize more of what you need and expect from a professional situation. You will gain as a result. Listen well to someone you care about, even if he or she could irritate you at the same time.
CANCER (June 21- July 22) ******
Your mind drills. Substantiate information and news you hear. Facts might not be facts, as you could discover! Your follow-through could make a big difference. New beginnings happen because of who you are.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) *****
How you verbalize your thoughts and share your feelings might be restructured by information that heads your way. Work with individuals rather than groups. A friend might cost you a lot more than you'd anticipated.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) *****
Others might come on strong. Though on some level you could be irritated, you will think that the best approach is a direct one. Sometimes you need to regroup and think through your ideas.
Others knock on your door. Decide if you want to let them in.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ****
A decision that impacts your daily life could be important. You might make a major change for the better. Gaining a perspective of the long-term implications of this decision might be hard.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) *****
Your sixth sense will lead you if you allow it to. You might have your hands full with someone close who just might be exercising his or her power. Don't get irritated. Everyone has a right to feel whatever he or she wants.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ******
Your words draw strong reactions,
and not all of them are positive, Trust,
however, that you'll motivate others to
get off their duffs. Calls and news might
distract you from the business at hand.
Make that OK.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★
Rather than get distracted by others'
uproar, emphasize your priorities. You
will accomplish a lot quite efficiently.
Many of you will want to pull away from
others, as they can be so annoying!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) *★★★ You hit a brick wall with a creative project and those you care about. Take your time. Isolate yourself if need be. Responses could be interesting if you don't take comments personally.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) *****
You jump up and down with energy and enthusiasm. Today you are the zodiac's cheerleader. Others respond to your spirit and happiness. Someone might be jealous because you are not focused on him or her.

Large crowd will soon be overshadowed
The crowd of 5,467 on Saturday was the second-largest of the season at Allen Fieldhouse, but will likely move to third after Thursday's game. Kansas State fans are famous for making the drive into Lawrence to watch the women's basketball Sunflower Showdown.

Missouri made 21 consecutive free throws to open the game, tying a school record. Kansas improves to a perfect 3-0 in overtime games.
Statistics to watch

Overtime
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The call caught almost everyone in Allen Fieldhouse off-guard, and Savant made her three free throws amidst a chorus of boos. Overtime was a different story, as Kansas made a point of striking first.
"Right at the start of overtime we went up six, and I said 'there's no turning back from here,'" Hallman said.
Kansas also benefited because one of Missouri's star players, guard LaToya Bond, fouled out at the end of regulation. Bond scored 31 points against the Jayhawks in the previous meeting, but was held to just four points Saturday.
"That's 27 points they don't have," Kemp said. "And when
you take a key player out of the offense, it kind of disturbs the rest of them."
For the Jayhawks, the team is peaking at the right time. The final regular season game will be Thursday night against Kansas State. What has been a one-sided rivalry in favor of the Wildcats will be a close game, as both teams look to earn a trip to the postseason in front of a national television audience.
"These kids are fortunate; they get two senior nights," Henrickson said, referring to the Kansas State and Missouri games. The Jayhawks appear to have reclaimed some of the magic from their 12-0 start, and it couldn't have come at a better time.

Junior guard Sherita Smith goes up for a rebound in the second half of Saturday's game. The Jayhawks defeated Missouri in overtime 81-71.
Megan True/KANSAN
After watching tape of the loss at Texas Tech at practice on Thursday, Sharita Smith had an unusual request for her coach.
The junior guard asked Kansas coach Bonnie Hendrickson if they could walk together to the floor before practice.
"She said, 'I feel like I let my seniors down and I let my team down
Smith certainly had no reason to feel like she let her teammates down after Saturday's performance against Missouri.
Despite logging only one point in the 81-71 overtime victory against the Tigers, Smith's presence was felt on defense. She held Missouri's leading scorer, senior guard LaToya Bond, to just five points.
Despite logging

"We don't win without Sharita Smith, no matter what the box score says," Henrickson said. "Her defensive pressure was great today."
Smith's defense also forced Bond into a season-high seven turnovers.
Bond was frustrated all afternoon by Smith's pressure, which cut off Bond's attempts to drive to the basket and get open shots.
"Coach has told me plenty of times that my defensive pressure can make a difference," Smith said. "I just knew I had to come out and put a lot of pressure on the ball."
Smith also spent time in the second half guard Missouri guard Tiffany Brooks after Brooks scored 16 points in the first half.
On several possessions, Smith started the offensive set guarding Bond, but switched assignments to guard Brooks.

The defensive switches proved to be effective, with Brooks scoring only 10 points
in the second half and overtime.
Smith started her stretch of solid defensive performances earlier in the month against Nebraska.
She held the Cornhuskers' leading scorer, Kiera Hardy, scoreless in the second half. In the next game, Smith held Iowa State's leading scorer Lyndsey Medders to 2-12 shooting from the field.
In Thursday's regular season finale, Smith will get the chance to go against Kansas State's young back court, which includes two freshmen starters.

Ordinance may change
City court would prosecute for marijuana possession
BY KRISTEN JARBOE
kjarboe@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Tonight the Lawrence City Commissioners will vote on an ordinance that focuses on making possession of marijuana a city misdemeanor offense. If passed, first-time marijuana possession will be moved from district court to municipal court, meaning a person would receive a ticket and court date rather than being arrested. The violation would also not affect student loans if moved to municipal court.
"Based on government statistics, 10 percent of students try weed. That's well over 2,000 people," Green said. "We want students to stay in school and not lose their student loans."
Because of the Higher Education Act Drug Provision, individuals convicted in state court of drug use typically lose their current federal financial aid, according to a press release from Laura Green, executive director of Drug Policy Forum of Kansas.
The meeting starts at 6:35 tonight in Lawrence City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. Two separate versions have been prepared for discussion, according to a memorandum by Scott J. Miller, staff attorney. One version states that there would be a minimum fine of $100 and a mandatory evaluation must occur for possession of marjuana. The other version states that there would be a minimum fine of $300 and evaluation of the offender is not mandatory for possession.
Jerry Little, city prosecutor for the municipal court, said that this was the main reason to bring the violation to the municipal court side.

Both versions incorporate marijuana-specific evaluation and treatment programs for possession of marijuana. Although treatment is not always mandatory, the court may order drug abuse evaluation, treatment or education if appropriate.

prosecute first-time possession of marijuana in municipal court. Only three of the 32 cities with marijuana ordinances have enhanced penalties: Overland Park, Garden City and Olathe.
"This is really the last chance the ordinance has," Green said. "The City Commission can't seem to come to an agreement on this. I feel it's really important that the city passes this ordinance."
Commissioner Mike Amyx said that one of the reasons there was such a gap between Nov. 29 and tonight was that they had received public opinion inquiring about an evaluation process of the offenders. He said it took a while to entail exactly what that would mean and how they were going to judge each person's evaluation.
The ordinance was first put on the agenda on Aug. 30. Green did not make her presentation to the Commission until Sept. 6. It was discussed at four other meetings during the fall. Green met with the city staff in January.
In Kansas, first-time marijuana prosecutions are punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 and one year in jail. It is a class A misdemeanor offense.
"We would like to make a final decision since it continues to be discussed, and find some middle ground," he said.
Amyx in the past has supported the $300 minimum fine.

Week's focus centers on healthy living
BY CATHERINE ODSON

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A task force for healthy living at the University of Kansas began its crusade for body acceptance Monday by kicking off its fourth annual Celebrate EveryBody Week.
Celebrate EveryBody Week was created to
Celebrate I address the issues posed by National Eating Disorder Awareness Week without the negative stigma of eating disorders, said Ann Chapman, registered dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
"It just makes sense that a positive approach is going to draw students in," she said. Highlighting the problem instead of the solution would keep students most in need of help from getting information, she said.
Indira Hogan, staff psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services, said different studies estimate between 5 and 30 percent of college students had an eating disorder.
H. O.M.E.B.A.S.E., the task force that organized the event, started the week by posting positive affirmations on sticky notes in residence and schoolship halls, as well as at the Burge and Kansas Unions and in the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. For lunch today and Thursday, all campus dining facilities will offer special Better Bites selections with a 10 percent discount.
Causes ranged from poor coping skills and family support to low self-esteem and distorted body image, she said.

Second dead after shooting
BY MICHAEL J. FEENEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — A second victim died Monday after a man opened fire during a Sunday church service, sending frightened parishioners ducking under the pews for safety. The gunman later killed himself.
The victim who died Monday,
identified only as a man in his
50s, was shot while trying to protect his wife from a carjacking attempt outside the church.
The shooting at Zion Hope Missionary Baptist Church killed a 38-year-old woman and wounded a girl sitting next to her. The violence grew out of a domestic dispute, said police Second Deputy Chief James Tate. The gunman was identified as 22-year-old Kevin L. Collins, who reportedly went to the church looking for his 19-year-old girlfriend, Jamika Williams.
The young woman's aunt, Connie Minder, told The Detroit News that Collins began shooting after Williams' mother refused to tell him where to find her daughter. The mother, Rosetta Williams, was killed.
woman before shooting her husband when he tried to intervene.
the gunman then left the church and tried to carjack a
About 5 1/2 hours later, Tate said officers spotted Collins walking about a mile south of the church and saw him run behind a home. "An officer then heard a loud boom," Tate said. Collins died of what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

CAMPUS Senate forum to focus on student issues
— Anne Weltmer
Student Senate will hold an openTown Hall Meeting at 7 tonight at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Marynell Jones, student body vice president, will conduct the event.
There will be a discussion on topics such as tuition, transportation, finance and student services. At the end of the evening there will be an open forum for further questions.
"This is a great chance for students and student organizations to come and speak with their elected representatives." Jones said. "With this sort of contact, Student Senate can ensure they are doing what matters the most for their fellow students."
Student Senate has held similar meetings in the past, but this year more of an effort is being made for publicity and increased participation from individual student groups because of the current Senate's focus on outreach efforts.

Coast Guard presents concerns
NATION
BY LIZ SIDOTI
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Citing broad gaps in U.S. intelligence, the Coast Guard raised concerns weeks ago that it could not determine whether a United Arab Emirates-based company seeking a stake in some U.S. port operations might support terrorist operations.
The disclosure came during a hearing Monday on Dubai-owned
DP World's plans to assume significant operations at six leading U.S. ports.
It also clouded whether the Bush administration's agreement to conduct an unusual investigation into the pending takeover's security risks would allay lawmakers' concerns.
The administration said the Coast Guard's concerns were raised during its review of the deal, which it approved Jan.17, and that all those
questions were resolved. Londonbased Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co. now handles the port operations.
"There are many intelligence gaps, concerning the potential for DPW or P&O assets to support terrorist operations, that precludes an overall threat assessment" of the potential merger, an unclassified Coast Guard intelligence assessed said.
threats against a large number of potential vulnerabilities," said the halfpage assessment. Officials said it was an unclassified excerpt from a larger document.
In a statement, the Coast Guard said the concerns reflected in the excerpt ultimately were addressed and that other U.S. intelligence agencies answered the questions raised.
"The breadth of the intelligence gaps also infer potential unknown
The Coast Guard assessment raised questions about the security of the company.

Wamelink said students are first given an opportunity for a hearing if they choose to do so, before any decisions are made regarding responsibility for the violation and consequences. Students in residence halls other than the scholarship halls have not gotten in trouble because of facebook.com pictures, she said.

Since the inception of H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E., which stands for "Healthy Options for Movement, Exercise, Body Acceptance and Savvy Eating," in 2001, the group has aimed to increase awareness about the importance of body appreciation and the dangers of eating disorders.
While this week represents a good opportunity for H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E. to advocate its mission on campus, Chapman said a campus-wide, long-term program would work best in achieving the group's goals.
"One week is not going to change behavior in a dramatic way." Chapman said.
The Better Bites program, established to identify healthy choices in campus dining facilities, was one of the first programs H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E. launched.
Joni Warner, president of H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E. and Wichita junior, said she joined the task force her freshman year to promote healthy eating.
Now, she said the challenge is getting students to realize the resources H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E. has to offer.
This week will allow the organization to educate students about its mission, Warner said.

Max
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
George Long/KANSAN
In his 60 years as a Jayhawk basketball announcer, Max has traveled from sunny Hawaii to frantice New York City's Madison Square Garden to blistering Anchorage, Alaska. He announced Jayhawk basketball national championships in Seattle in 1952 and in Kansas City, Mo., in 1988. He has played golf with Dean Smith, landed Roy Williams in trouble at Florida Sea World, fallen in love with a baby gorilla named Max and made thousands of fans through his distinct baritone voice on the radio.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2006
How did all this happen?
Max Falkenstien signs a T-shirt for a fan commemorating his 60 years as a color commentator Sunday at the Clinton Parkway Hyvee.
"Oh, that's a long story" he said - 60 years long.
It started in high school when Max went on a field trip to the University of Kansas. It was a journalism excursion to learn and practice radio broadcasting. A teacher told Max he had an amazing voice, and she recommended he try his hand at broadcasting. He heeded that advice.
Max was broadcasting news for WREN radio when he was asked to broadcast the playoff game between the Aggies and the Jayhawks. With no prior experience and no one teaching him how, he took the job. Little did he realize that he would continue calling games for KU into the next century, from the "Big Dipper," Wilt Chamberlain, to the "Kansas Comet," Gale Sayers, to Danny Manning and the 1988 championship basketball team to Nick Reid and the Forth Worth Bowl champions.
Going live
1980
The voice of the Jayhawks said his favorite moment as a broadcaster was the 1952 basketball national championship game. The Phog Alen-coached team sported Player of the Year Clyde Lovelette, who led Kansas to an 80-63 shellacking of St. John's in the game.
Old friends
One member of that team was Dean Smith, now the winningest coach in men's basketball history. The two first met when Max broadcast a high school basketball playoff game in March 1949 between Smith's Topeka High

MVP: "No one ever dominated like Wilt Chamberlain, but as a complete player with passing, shooting, rebounding and all that, I'd say Danny Manning."
school and Lawrence High School. Smith remembers that game because Max "made me sound good," he said.
"He's a good putter, but he needs to work on his iron play," Smith said about Max.
The two remain close friends, playing golf together whenever Smith is in town.
Max said, "I can't put the ball on the green from a hundred vards."
Regardless of missed greens and miles of separation, Smith said, "I always look forward to seeing him."
Popcorn and dolphins
Roy Williams, who left his job as an assistant to Smith at North Carolina to coach the Jayhawks, said he had "a million Max stories" from his 15 years at Kansas.
"We were with the team in Gainesville, and we decided to go Sea World," he said.
Williams said he and Max were standing next to a dolphin pool, and Williams was eating from a bag of popcorn.
"Do dolphins like popcorn?" Williams asked Max.
"I think they would, coach." Max said, egging Williams on to throw a handful into the tank.
Williams did exactly that, and he will never forget what ensued. As the kernels hit the water, a worker across the pool velled angrily at Williams.
"Hey! Are you trying to kill our dolphins?" Williams said, impersonating the park employee.
Shocked, Williams turned to Max for support. To his surprise, Max was gone, leaving Williams to take the scolding.
"I turned around and he was 50 feet away," Williams laughed. "It was his idea, and I was the one getting yelled at."
Max got away, safe from park security.
Now coaching at North Carolina, Williams stays close with Max.
"When he threw it I was at the dolphin tank. When he turned around I was at the whale tank," Max said.
No matter where the road took Max, he always found his way home to his wife, Isobel. The couple has two children, three grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Max said life on the road was not taxing on his family matters.
"I never looked at Max as a member of the media. I looked at him as a friend." Williams said.
The great-grandfather said he traveled for four or five football
The road home
games a year and about 15 road basketball games.
He said he always looked forward to going home, but enjoyed sightseeing along the way.
Max's Midwestern charm has attracted many admirers in his 60-year tenure.
Sixty years of love
Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins said, "Max is just history."
Williams said, "There are few Max Falkenstiens. No one will ever touch 60 again."
Fans he encounters on game day let him know how they feel about him.
Smith said, "All you can do is praise it. He shouldn't retire."
Perkins said, "He is one of the most beloved people in Kansas history."
So beloved, in fact, the Topeka Zoo once named a gorilla "Max the Gorilla" after the announcer.
"Max, you're an angel and that's hard to say about a sorry little rescal like you. I love you and everyone at Kansas athletics feels the same way." -Roy Williams
FAREWELLS:
"In your retirement, certainly be proud of what you accomplished. Maybe it will help your golf game."
-Dean Smith
"Thanks for all the memories, Max. It’s been great."
—Hank Booth
"Thanks for the memories. That's not original, but it's true." Earl Merkel
Legend of the Phog
Max even went with a zoo crew to Dallas to pick up the zoo's new baby gorilla, cradling him in his arms like an infant on the flight home to Topeka.
Max shies away from the word "legend," which his friends throw at him like passes quarterbacks have thrown to receivers in the games he's called for six decades.
"Legend is a hard word to know what it means," he said. "I don't know if it goes to someone who's been around so damn long, or if they just enjoyed the work they've done."
Hank Booth, the public address announcer at men's basketball games, said he had known Max since he was a child and also had listened to Max for decades.
One longtime listener, Earl Merkel, 73, travels from Russell to Lawrence for each home game. Merkel has listened to Max since the late 1940s. For away games, Merkel turns down the television and tunes in to his favorite radio broadcaster for sideline analysis. He said he had enjoyed Max every year for six decades. Everyone in the state knows him by his first name, Merkel said.
"Everyone realizes he's a warehouse of athletics knowledge," he said.
"He's a legendary Kansas broadcaster," said Booth, whose family was influential in the development of radio in Lawrence.
In an arena where fans stand on their toes to watch long, lanky players enter the court — many
Signing off
near 7 feet tall — a 5-foot-8 man with snowy white hair, a blue sweater and khakis keeps his own trail of admirers. As Max makes his way to the sideline, students young enough to be his great-grandchildren stand up for Max, like one blue wave, sparked by the broadcaster's splash. He is the only 81-year-old who receives a standing ovation every time he steps on the court.
Max will make that walk one last time in the fieldhouse on Wednesday. When he leaves, he will take his signature broadcast delivery with him. Radio speakers will no longer carry his balanced analysis and lively, articulate, baritone voice.
He calls his 60th season a "good place to stop."
"Maui's my favorite, hands down," he said.
Where will Max go after the last buzzer sounds? If he had his choice of all the places he has called away games, he'd head for Hawaii.
He appreciated the history of Madison Square Garden and said, laughing, "The Alaska shootout was interesting, but I don't recommend anyone take a trip there for Thanksgiving."
Max will not disappear completely from the Jayhawk nation. He will join the Athletics Department after retiring from broadcasting, working directly for Perkins on special assignments.
But Jayhawk fans need not worry. The man they've known simply as Max for 60 years will not disappear into the phog.
"I'll be around," he said.

President Bush gestures during remarks at the Republican Governors Association reception Monday in Washington
Bush's gaffes worry GOP
IDENT OF THE U
BY ROBERT TANNER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Republican governors are openly worrying that the Bush administration's latest stumbles — from the natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina to those of its own making on prescription drugs and ports security — are taking an election-year toll on the party back home.
The GOP governors reluctantly acknowledge that the series of gafes threatens to undermine public confidence in President Bush's ability to provide security, which has long been his greatest strength among voters.
"You've got solid conservatives coming up speaking like they haven't before, it's likely that something's going on at the grass roots," said Republican Mark Sanford of South Carolina. "Whether it's temporary or not remains to be seen."
The unease was clear in interviews with more than a dozen governors over the weekend, including nearly half of the Republicans attending the winter meeting of the National Governors Association. The annual conference was taking place in a capital enthralled by the political firestorm over government plans to approve takeover of operations at some terminals at six U.S. ports by a company owned by the United Arab Emirates government.
Despite the discomfort, however, Republican governors gave the president a rock-star welcome as the headliner at a gritty Monday night reception that added $9.6 million to GOP campaign coffers for fall races. "I thank you
for your steadfast support," Bush told his statehouse colleagues.
The GOP governors reluctantly acknowledge that the series of gaffes threatens to undermine public confidence in President Bush's ability to provide security, which has long been his greatest strength among voters.
Democrats see opportunity, and even those
in conservative states say the administration's missteps will have a ripple effect politically at home. "I do think there's a considerable degree of skepticism about what's been happening at the federal level," said Democrat Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas. "If you didn't pick it up on Katrina, you did when you tried to help your parents" get drugs through
the new Medicare program.
But it wasn't Bush's political opponents alone who saw weaknesses. So did his allies — listing the days of chaos in New Orleans after the hurricane, the nationwide confusion over the drug prescription program that forced many states to step in to help seniors get medications, and the ports security debacle that has drawn criticism from leading Republicans in Congress and the states.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SA
"I don't think he was well served on the port issue by the bureaucracy."
said Republican Dirk Kempthorne of Idaho, who is leading a united front of governors pushing back on potential reductions to National Guard forces. "He's at the forefront on national security. When you combine this flap on the ports, and these potential cuts on the military, you need to make sure that issue doesn't slip away. It's one of his strengths."
HURRICANE KATRINA
Fat Tuesday floats uplift New Orleans
BY CAIN BURDEAU THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Tourists and locals stood side-by-side — in some spots 6 to 8 feet deep — as two of the Carnival season's biggest and glitziest parades rolled through a city struggling to reclaim some of its famous fun.
"It's very special," said Barbara Sykes, who flew in from Irving, Texas, where she's been living since Hurricane Katrina. "It's part of my heart, my blood."
The prelude to Mardi Gras — or Fat Tuesday — brought party-hungry crowds to New Orleans' traditional parade route Sunday, nearly six months after Katrina flooded 80 percent of the city and dispersed more than two-thirds of the population.
Mardi Gras "is just a symbol of the fact that New Orleans is going to come back," said Stephanie Hall, 28, a city resident. "New Orleans has always done what it wants to do and it's gonna come back whether the country wants it to or not."
A threat of thunderstorms Saturday prompted a one day delay of the Krewe of Endymion's parade, which followed the Krewe of Bacchus through the Uptown neighborhood on Sunday night. Three smaller parades were held in the afternoon.
Lori Caswell, 34, of Chesapeake, Va., said this is her first time participating in the festivities and she was surprised by the number of people involved. "It's a blast," she yelled, above the screams of children seeking
beads. "It's like no other fun I've ever had."
Caswell's friend, Vette Hairston, said she was glad the parades drew so many people back to her hometown because it's a sign that people are putting money back into the economy.
"It's a sign there's life here," she said. "It's a rebirth."
The Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club, the predominantly black organization that puts on one of Fat Tuesday's most beloved parades, was scheduled Monday to hold its annual "Lundi Gras" party — the start of the ceremonial arrival of make-believe monarchs Rex and the king of Zulu by boat on the Mississippi River.
While some decried the city's plan to hold Mardi Gras celebrations while tens of thousands of residents were displaced, Ebony Jenkins, who lost her home, car and possessions in the flood, was in a festive mood nonetheless.
"My take on it is: Let it roll," she said as she waited for floats and masked riders to fill the street and shed a rain of doubloons and beads on the throngs.
Celebrities in town for the long weekend included musician Harry Connick Jr., actors Dan Akry踢, Michael Keaton and Jim Belushi, and CNN's Anderson Cooper, who rode on a float.
Nearby, Mark Krasnoff and Monica Verdin sold boudin — a type of sausage mixed with rice, onions and peppers — to parade-goers.

BELIEFS
Pope proclaims embryos human at earliest stages
BY NICOLE WINFIELD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI said Monday that embryos developed for in vitro fertilization deserve the same right to life as fetuses, children and adults — and that that right extends to embryos even before they are transferred into a woman's womb.
The Vatican has long held that human life begins at conception, but Benedict's comments were significant because he specified that even an embryo in its earliest stages — when it is just a few cells — is just as much a human life as an older being.
The pope made the comments during an audience with members of the Pontifical Academy for Life, who opened a Vaticansponsored conference Monday on the ethics surrounding the handling of embryos before they are implanted during in vitro procedures.
The Vatican opposes in vitro procedures because embryos created in a laboratory are often discarded, whereas others are frozen and still others are created solely for experimentation or to create stem cells.
Benedict repeated the Roman Catholic Church position that life begins at the moment of conception and deserves to be respected and protected from that moment on — a position set out most authoritatively in the 1995 encyclical "Evangelium Vitae."
That encyclical did not specifically address the status of an embryo before it is implanted after in vitro fertilization — the two or three days of growth in a laboratory during which the fertilized egg is dividing into a group of cells that are transferred by a doctor into a woman's uterus.
Benedict made clear that
there should be no moral distinction between an embryo before implantation and after even though he acknowledged there is no explicit teaching on the first days of life in Scripture.
"The Magisterium of the church has constantly proclaimed the sacred and inviolable character of every human life, from its conception to its natural end." he said.
"This moral judgment is valid already at the beginnings of life of an embryo, before it is implanted in the womb of the mother, who will care for it and nourish it for nine months until the moment of birth," he said.
"The love of God doesn't make any difference between the newly conceived, still in the womb of his mother, and the baby, or the young person, or the mature man or the old man," he said. "He doesn't make the distinction because in each of them he sees his own image and similarity."
While there is no consensus among scientists about when life begins — and thus deserves legal protection — many scientists believe life starts when the first neurological tissues are evident, about two to three weeks after fertilization, said Dr. Jacques Cohen, a reproductive scientist in New York who was not at the conference.
"Scientists draw lines at different points," said Cohen, who runs the largest pre-implantation genetic diagnosis group in the United States, Reprogenetics, as well as the Galileo Research Laboratories, which researches embryonic development.
Some countries have legislation regulating embryo research that says life begins when an egg has been fertilized, he said. Some philosophers argue life begins with consciousness — much later on.

Riot pauses for uneasy truce
BY AMIR SHAH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan — Rebellious inmates at Kabul's main prison agreed Monday to halt violence, and authorities said they restored supplies of water, electricity and food to the prisoners after four people were killed and 38 wounded in the two-day uprising.
The supplies were withheld late Sunday from the roughly 2,000 prisoners in the facility, including women and their children, even though the violence was blamed on some 350 Taliban and al-Qaida detainees.
Although the agreement to stop rioting was only temporary, officials said they were optimistic about a breakthrough in negotiations with the inmates.
The food, water and electric
ity has been restored. For the time being, I am optimistic. Everything is quiet. Let's see what happens tomorrow," said Abdul Salaam Bakshi, chief of prisons in Afghanistan.
Hundreds of police and soldiers circled the sprawling Policharki jail on the outskirts of the Afghan capital, Kabul, in tanks and with other heavy weapons late Sunday.
Gunfire rang out from inside the facility until late Monday, when news broke of progress in the talks. Within hours, truckloads of police withdrew. Many remaining soldiers lounged on the ground, sipping tea and smoking cigarettes as the tension eased.
Sibghatullah Mujaddedi, the chief government negotiator, said the prisoners told him that "they would not launch any more attacks right now." He declined to elaborate.
The prisoners are believed armed with small knives and clubs fashioned from wrecked furniture, but do not have guns.
"I promised them I would do my best to solve their problems, and they trust me," he told reporters outside the prison.
Mujaddedi said the negotiators reached an agreement with the prisoners for the wounded inmates to be taken to a hospital, but it was not clear when this would happen. He also said prison authorities were asked to help bury the dead inmates, but did not elaborate further.
During the talks, the prisoners made a range of demands, including an amnesty for an unspecified number of inmates, Mujaddedi said.
A purported spokesman for
the prisoners called The Associated Press and demanded new trials for the inmates, claiming many were innocent or their sentences were too long.
"Two-thirds of the prisoners here are innocent. The courts were unfair," said the man, who identified himself only by the name Maqsodi and said he was calling from inside one of the seized prison blocks. It was not possible immediately to confirm the man's identity.
Feruza Kahiastani, a member of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission, told AP after meeting the prisoners that she was also optimistic of a breakthrough, but warned "it could take a long time."
Bakshi said no deadline had been set for a deal to be reached.

OUR OPINION
Criticism of science taken out of context
Three KU Medical Center professors have signed a petition that called for skepticism of the theory of evolution.
The signatures come from James Harbrecht, clinical assistant professor of cardiology; Gregory Ator, associate professor of head and neck surgery; and Jeanne Drisko, clinical assistant professor of alternative medicine. More than 500 scientists have signed the petition, which started on the Internet in 2001.
While the signatures may seem a blow to supporters of evolution in the scientific community and another knock on Kansas' already tarnished scientific reputation, it really is just healthy criticism.
We applaud scientists who acknowledge the theory of evolution isn't perfect. If scientists don't question the theory of evolution, or any theory, there is no way to gather evidence for or against it or to attempt to prove or disprove it.
The petition does not support or mention alternative theories to evolution. It simply states, "We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged."
But more importantly, let's not twist this petition to include a victory for intelligent design supporters.
PAGE 7A
Of course examination should be encouraged. That's what scientists do. But intelligent design isn't science. There couldn't be a petition like this for that theory, because there is no evidence to be examined.
Intelligent design isn't provable or unprovable. It can't be tested with experiments or evidence. In fact, intelligent design supporters in the scientific community only attack the theory of evolution
Michael Behe, professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University, testified on behalf of intelligent design at the trial of a Pennsylvania school board that tried to add a disclaimer on textbooks that said there were holes in the theory of
Issue: Scientific skepticism of evolution
Stance: Close examination of evolution doesn't necessitate support of intelligent design
evolution and mentions intelligent design as an alternative theory.
He said intelligent design was testable. He testified at the trial:
"In Darwin's Black Box (Behe 1996) I claimed that the bacterial flagellum was irreducibly complex and so required deliberate intelligent design. The flip side of this claim is that the flagellum can't be produced by natural selection acting on random mutation, or any other unintelligent process. To falsify such a claim, a scientist could go into the laboratory, place a bacterial species lacking a flagellum under some selective pressure (for mobility, say), grow it for ten thousand generations, and see if a flagellum — or any equally complex system — was produced. If that happened, my claims would be neatly disproven."
But if the process failed, only evolution would be disproved. There wouldn't be any evidence other than that Darwinism didn't explain it.
No scientific theory should stay if it can't stand up to criticisms or questioning from the scientific community. The theory of evolution is a long-established, universally used theory for explaining life on this planet by science. But that doesn't mean scientists should just accept it how it is, that they shouldn't examine it.
And it certainly doesn't mean we should look at untestable, unprovable theories that couldn't stand up to the idea of this petition.
Like the petition says, "Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged."

"Evolution" is not a dirty word. It has been at the center of so much recent controversy, that it conjures up thoughts of political and religious debate much more frequently than it is associated with what it actually is—a theory of a process embraced by scientists as a reliable and well supported explanation of the natural world.

But because the apples and oranges of religion and science continue to go head-to-head in Kansas and elsewhere, "evolution" is being stripped of its scientific definition and instead is treated as synonymous with "godlessness." This misunderstanding just adds fuel to the fire of controversy. This substitution couldn't be more wrong and more undeserved.
Unlike evolution, gravity and heliocentric haven't been making headlines and haven't faced any recent opposition. What's the difference? It's all in the timing. Evolutionary theory is newer to the world than the others. Despite its established standing among scientists, evolution is still working its way into everyday vernacular and a mainstream comfort zone.
The theory of evolution simply states that organisms change over time. More specific facets of evolutionary biology seek to explain the details of this process in various organisms, under various circumstances, and over various time scales. Associated theories, like natural selection, offer explanations of the mechanisms that drive the process of evolution.
Ashley M. Lloyd
Other scientific theories that strayed from religious descriptions of the universe also faced social opposition, but eventually became so well-established that we now accept them at face value. We would be hard-pressed to find someone today who argues that the earth is the center of the universe, but Kansas is loaded with people who take issue with evolution. This is mostly because this scientific description of a natural process is mistaken as a blatant challenge to faith. Once we recognize that evolution is a theory established in science and that dealing with it in a religious context is simply inappropriate, the controversy will die down and evolution will take its place as a conventional explanation of the way things work. I swear.
Like other scientific theories, such as gravity and a heliocentric solar system, the theory of evolution was conceived to explain phenomena observed in nature. But when novel explanations based on observations and experiments challenge ideas based instead on long-held but scientifically untestable musings, there is bound to be opposition. People don't like being told they're wrong, often to the point of being blindly defensive of their own beliefs.
Scientists don't dispute evolution. We continue to explore its details and its mechanisms through the process of hypothesis
testing, but the theory of evolution itself has stood the test of time. We continue to find observational and experimental support for it, while alternative ideas have not satisfactorily displaced it. Like other theories that once shook the world but are now taken for granted, evolution is on firm ground within the scientific community.
So why is something so simple as the idea that life changes over time mistaken for the battle cry of heathes?

GUEST COMMENTARY
In the comfort of his peers, retired professor of psychology Leonard Magruder paraded a series of news articles in front of a small crowd at the Signs of Life bookstore Thursday, making sarcastic jabs at any evolutionists' expense. He used terms like "evolution thought-police" and referred to any anti-intelligent design article as "bad and very sad news." His mantra was, "There are huge gaps in evolution." I found gaps somewhere else, however, in Magruder's speech.
ID advocate misinforms masses
Magruder continuously used information to his advantage, without providing the whole picture. For example, he gave out an entire list of names of scientists and Nobel Prize winners who had raised questions about evolution. He failed, however, to say that these people do not, in fact, support intelligent design. Apparently, Magruder does not understand the difference. Some of the scientists on Magruder's list have even spoken out against it.
All in all, Magruder's speech shed an unforgiving light on intelligent design and its supporters. His quotes were taken out of context; his inference method is a desperate masquerade; and his conspiracy theories seemed ridiculous. Thank you, Magruder, for reminding me why I think intelligent design is useless and ludicrous.
molecular biology concur with Darwinism" and that he believes "life descended from one common ancestor." Another scientist on the list, physicist Alan Guth, said at the same conference that "there is no need to invoke supernatural forces to explain the universe or even its origin." There are other instances of people on Magruder's list that completely discredit intelligent design. I don't understand why he would use them as examples.
In a 2000 conference debating evolution and design "science," Nobel laureate Christian de Duve said "the discoveries of
Another point of Magruder's speech was that intelligent design was not the new creation science. He maintained that "creation scientists had an agenda, which was to defend the literal meaning of the Bible. But that is not what I.D. is about." Intelligent design is a theory raised from inside the scientific community, he said. Magruder claimed that intelligent design "is totally free from any religious entanglements"; it merely points out the gaps in evolution and allows students to "make their own inferences" about who the intelligent designer is.
made, unless kids believe that Santa Claus created life.
If you listen to Magruder, you would think the world is a conspiracy against intelligent design. He said that "Intelligent design supporters are scientists, but the media and KU don't want us to know that." He also maintains that "KU refuses to talk about intelligent design because they saw there is nothing to debate."
Come on. Obviously, there is only one real inference to be
I hate to tell you, Magruder, but we have discussed intelligent design in three of my classes. Apparently Magruder does not understand that no one wants to discuss intelligent design because it's not worth the time and effort.

But maybe two years from now we can lay off the righteous indignation and the ubiquitous medal count. Maybe we can let the snowboarders have their fun, the figure skaters have a cupcake, and the hockey players have more than a day off. Maybe, and I'm just spit balling here, we can again let them be games.
I'm not naive enough to believe that the Olympics can solve the problems of the world, or that a society attuned more to salary caps and drug suspensions for its sports news can change overnight. Sports long ago turned into big business at every level and age group, and the ranks of amateurism could not hold out indefinitely against those for whom profit matters more than joy, market share more than beauty, winning more than victory.

Sport success not in the medals

COMMENTARY
I realize that I probably took the Olympics a little more seriously than most people. I have to believe it's a freak genetic trait. I honestly kept track of how many hours of NBC's network broadcasts I watched during 17 days. But, being as this was the eighth Olympics I've watched — er, obsessed over — I thought I'd at least put those hundred hours to good use and share a few thoughts on sportsmanship in modern society.
For starters, just stop. Stop hyping athletes you never cared about before. Stop making jokes about the two-man luge. You cannot possibly come up with anything original. Stop the inane discussion of whether figure skating and curling are sports — if poker and bass fishing can get weeks of television airtime, then we've already expanded the threshold of athleticism. And please, for the love of Tonya Harding, stop taking it all so damn seriously.
In the weeks leading up to the opening ceremony in Turin, Italy, I counted at least six magazine covers with Bode Miller's mug. Some of them were already planned because of his status as the first American overall World Cup champion in 20 years, while others were put together after his (as it turns out, anti-climactic) "60 Minutes" admission about being hung over at the start of a race. That made Miller America's "bad boy" for the games, but he failed to medal in all five events and was decisively branded a flop by the same machine that put him on those covers. Remarkably, after all of the interviews and features, nobody in the media seemed to grasp or even listen to Bode's core message: Medals are simply one objective standard for success, and success is whatever you make it to be. In other words, stop sucking the fun out of my sport.

'Da Vinci Code' lawsuit could delay film release
LONDON — It's the latest twist for the mega-selling conspiracy thriller "The Da Vinci Code": a lawsuit against the book's publisher for breach of copyright that could taint the novel and delay the much-anticipated movie version.
BY DAVID STRINGER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
If the writers succeed in securing an injunction to bar the use of their material, they could hold up the scheduled May 19 release of "The Da Vinci Code" film, starring Tom Hanks and directed by Ron Howard.
Sony Pictures said it planned to release the film as scheduled.
senior vice president of corporate communications at Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Both books hinge on the theory that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and they had a child, and that their blood line survives to this day.
"This lawsuit is not about the movie, and we are proceeding with our plans," said Jim Kelly.
Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, authors of the 1982 nonfiction book "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail," are suing publisher Random House, Inc. over the allegation that parts of their work formed the basis of Dan Brown's novel, which has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide and remains high on best seller lists nearly three years after publication.
Phrases used in both books to describe arguments that Jesus had been married showed similarities, James said.
Thieves steal record amount
A fifth man was arrested and released on bail, as were six suspects detained earlier.
Leppard told reporters that four men had been arrested in south London and adjoining Kent county in the previous 24 hours and were being questioned in connection with the robbery.
Wednesday's robbery in Tonbridge, 30 miles southeast of London, elapsed the $50 million — or about 26 million pounds — stolen from the Northern Bank in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in December 2004. Authorities suspect an organized crime gang in the Tonbridge heist, and the outlawed Irish Republican Army in the Belfast robbery.
BY JILL LAWLESS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WORLD
Warehouse owner Securitas Cash Management Ltd. confirmed the amount stolen - 53 million pounds - after an audit, said Adrian Leppard, assistant chief constable of Kent Police.
LONDON — A new audit showed thieves stole the equivalent of about $92 million during last week's heist at a southeast England cash depot, police said Monday, describing the second-largest cash theft in recent history.
The haul was second only to the looting of Iraq's central bank during the U.S.-led invasion. Still, it was the biggest cash theft in British history.
Both raids were dwarfed by
the wartime theft of $900 million in U.S. bills, and as much as $100 million worth of euros from the Iraq Central Bank in 2003.
Leppard said he was "pleased with progress and ... confident that we will catch those responsible."
The police looking for the robbers have recovered a van containing weapons and the equivalent of $2.3 million in cash. The dumped money was found in black sacks Friday in a van parked outside a hotel near the entrance to the Channel Tunnel linking England and France. The hotel is about 10 miles from the site of the robbery.
The thieves, who dressed as police officers, stopped Securitas manager Colin Dixon, 51, as he drove home from the cash deposit, police said.
A second group — also dressed as officers — went to Dixon's home, told his wife, Lynn, 45, that he had been in an accident and took her away along with their 9-year-old son.
Family members were threatened by the thieves but released unhurt once the raid was over, police said.

Editor's note: The Kansan will profile all three women's basketball seniors this week, leading up to Thursday's game against Kansas State.
Take another look, though,
and you'll find that there's more
to Kaylee Brown than meets the
eve.
When the women's basketball team takes the court for senior night against Kansas State on Thursday, Erica Hallman and Crystal Kemp will both be yelling out instructions and encouragement to their teammates. But Kaylee Brown won't be.
"She keeps to herself a little bit," Coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
The senior guard is listed at 5-foot-8 — "on a good day." Henrickson jokes — but often must defend players who are five or six inches taller than her.
"A lot of times she got the hardest defensive matchup on

the perimeter, and the majority of the nights she handled it pretty well." Henrickson said.
Overcoming that height gap is also important on the offensive end, because Brown's job is to shoot and make three-pointers.
Brown has proven that coach wrong, and has made almost 40 percent of her shots from behind the arc this season, resulting in her playing entire games.
"My high school coach said I couldn't do it, that I wasn't a Division I player." she said.
"We all have minutes for a kid who can shoot the three and make the three," Henrickson said. "What she's been able to do is find her niche here."

Loss humbles young players
BY RYAN COLAIANNI rcolaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIVER
When Brandon Rush touched the ball against Texas on Saturday, he could tell something was different.
It was not the same type of ball that he was used to playing with. It was a Nike ball, and Rush said it was lighter.
Rush, freshman guard, struggled against Texas, scoring a career-low three points on just 1-of-8 shooting.
"I wasn't aggressive. I was settling for jumpers and they weren't falling. I was getting the shots I wanted, I was just having an off week I guess," he said.
Rush also played with a Nike ball at Colorado and at Missouri and attributed his shooting struggles — 10-of-24 in those two games — to the type of basketball he was firing toward the basket.
In order to help solve this problem, Rush, Kansas' leading scorer, practiced with a Nike basketball Sunday.
Rush, like his teammates, is
With the loss to Texas, Kansas fell one game out of first place. Coach Bill Self and the players said they understood that they must win out and hope that Texas stumbles in order to take the conference crown.
looking to rebound from a 25-point loss to Texas with a solid performance Wednesday against Colorado.
"We're at home. It will be a different atmosphere, a different ball," he said. "We had a little time off yesterday to regroup and shoot around."
The mood has been different for the Kansas team thus far this week following the big loss.
"just from being in the locker room for a little today, I would say guys know we have to get better," senior guard Jeff Hawkins said.

TR VARIOUS P L SUPER POLO

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Diane Basore, captain and president of the University of Kansas water polo club team, stands in the pool at Robinson Gymnasium where the team practices. Basore made a name for herself by being nine to the all-conference team in a sport dominated by men.
Her résumé is impressive — especially when you consider that Basore is excelling in the men's division.
The president of the Kansas club water polo team is not just one of the guys. In 2004, Diane Basore was nominated for the all-conference team.
"They think, 'she's just a girl, she can't play,' Basore said. "I like to take advantage of that view."
The reason for the junior's outstanding play may have something to do with learning the sport in the water polo capital of the world — Sydney, Australia. After being born in Ames, Iowa, and living in Albuquerque, N.M., for eight years, Basore and her family moved to Sydney.
Jared Gaby/KANSAN
"I had to give up surfing while I'm here," Basore said. "Wescoe Beach wasn't enough. So, I picked up water polo to get my water fix."
Basore said living thousands of miles from where she had called home for so many years had been difficult.
"It's hard. You grow up really quick without anyone here," Basore said.
Despite competing with the men, Basore said she wasn't asking for anyone to feel sorry for her. She said she welcomed the challenge. Basore has also earned the respect of her teammates. Matt Royal, Des Moines, Iowa, senior, is Basore's coach, teammate and roommate.
"She's pretty fun. During practice we give each other a hard time, but we push

acted as her social group. Just because her teammates see her as equal doesn't mean they don't give her a hard time. Basore said.
"I've never worried about a player being a guy or a girl, just how well they play." Royal said.
"When someone is nominated for allconference, the conference gives them a special-edition Speedo, so when I was nominated and got mine, my teammates
joked around a lot about it."
Basore also shared her advice for any females looking to excel in a predominantly male sport.
"Don't let the guys push you around and don't give up," Basore said.

▼ ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
3 Kansas sports post poor grades
Athletes at the University of Kansas are meeting the NCAA's academic progress requirements in all but three sports, school officials said Monday — and the school is appealing its possible loss of scholarships in two of them.
The NCAA is scheduled to release the Academic Progress Rate numbers for all but eight member schools on Wednesday. Kansas is one of those eight because its waiver request is still being processed — but elected to release its numbers to selected media representatives on Monday.
Football, baseball and women's basketball all failed to meet the minimums for athletes' retention and eligibility, but women's basketball is not in danger of losing scholarships because it falls under an exemption for sports with few team members.
APR, which the NCAA is phasing in over four years, tracks retention and eligibility rather than graduation rates. Each player is worth four points per academic year: one point per semester for being on scholarship and one more per semester for being academically eligible. The minimum passing grade is 925, meaning that a program has accumulated 92.5 percent of its possible points for the two-year evaluation period.
"NCAA statisticians have calculated that a 92.5 percent progress rate is a predictor of a 50 percent graduation rate down the line," said Paul Buskirk, the University's associate athletic director for student support services.
Teams not meeting the requirements would lose scholarships received by any ineligible athlete but could not lose more than 10 percent of scholarships for a given year. The low percentage in women's basketball can be attributed to a coaching change before last season, the University said. The University plans to argue that there were unavoidable reasons for players to leave the football and baseball teams.
"There were health-related issues in one case and family issues in another," Buskirk said.

THE COLUMN
Look beyond Texas loss to young team's solid base
AUSTIN, Texas — I love living in Kansas and listening to Kansas basketball fans after games. You could imagine the interesting comments I heard after the "game of year" turned into the beating of the year after a 25-point Texas victory against Kansas.
I heard KU fans who said the Jayhawks were exposed and the Longhorns were on their way to a national championship in basketball.
M. P.
JIMMY CHAVEZ
jchavez@kansan.com
For Texas fans, basketball is viewed in Austin, Texas, as entertainment before spring football begins. Saturday's game wasn't sold out until last Wednesday.
It's a bit different in Lawrence. This was the second time KU fans pressed the panic button. The first time was in December when the team started the season 3-4.
But we must all remember that this team is still comprised of mostly freshmen and sophomores — 10 to be exact. The youth is as talented as any young team in the country. The 10-game winning streak Kansas carried into Texas is proof of
that.
Fans need to be reminded that Saturday's game wasn't the main objective of the season. Rather, it was a litmus test to the atmosphere of playing in the "College GameDay" spotlight. Now they know what it's like.
You have to realize that a blowout like Saturday's game occasionally happens to young teams.
In coming to terms with this,
we also learned about two specific KU freshmen on this youthful team.
Expect Rush to stay at least
I think we can all be sure that freshman guard Brandon Rush will not jump to the NBA after this year, based on his three points and four rebounds in the national spotlight. This might be the best thing to happen to him and a young Kansas team that will build for the future with this foundation of freshmen and sohomores.
one more year, unless he scores 81 points in an NCAA Tournament game. I have no doubt that Rush will see better days and fully expect him to have his day in the sun sooner rather than later.
We also learned that freshman forward Julian Wright could become one of the most dynamic players to ever put on a Kansas uniform.

Texas started the week with a 13-9 loss against Stanford, handling the Cardinals the series victory. Texas wouldn't lose again the rest of the week, though.
Texas returned to Austin to beat Texas State on Wednesday, 7-4, and swept Villanova in a weekend series.
Freshman infielder Bradley Suttle went 6-of-11 with six RBIs against Villanova. Texas outscored Villanova 21-3 in three games.

After aggravating an old knee injury, Baty was sidelined for the last three innings against No. 10 Stanford on Feb. 12. It is not known whether this injury is related.
Baty had since worked his way back into the lineup, playing in left field instead of center field, where he typically plays.
He has rarely spent long stints on the bench. At the team's 14-game mark this season, Baty has started 13 and is hitting .300 with four doubles and a triple.

"He's a bulldog," senior outfielder Gus Milner said of Baty earlier this year. Milner saw time in center after Baty and Murphy came out. After the Stanford series, Baty said he was confident of his ability to bounce back from injury.
"Matt is the heart and soul of our team," Price said.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Barton Coach to testify against his colleagues
Coaches are accused of getting athletes grants they were not qualified to receive and campus jobs that paid them for work they did not perform; of helping athletes with correspondence courses and tests; and of sending false academic credentials to other schools on the athletes' behalf.
Sentencing for former Barton County Community College basketball coach Ryan Wolf has been postponed until May 1 to give him time to testify against his colleagues in a widespread investigation into financial aid for athletes.
Wolf's indictment in December 2004 was the first in a scandal that has resulted in charges against seven coaches and the athletic director and led to the firing of its president at the beleaguered central Kansas college.
Wolf and two fellow coaches pleaded guilty in federal court in exchange for reduced charges and their cooperation with prosecutors. Former assistant basketball coach Matt Skillman and former head coach David Campbell both received probation at their sentencing hearings. In December, Wolf pleaded guilty to four counts.

Team has chance
'Hawks could make tourney
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS mphillips@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Kansas women's basketball team may have been mathematically eliminated from contention for the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament, but that doesn't mean there won't be a postseason for the team.
"They are definitely getting strong consideration right now," said Renee Carlson, assistant director of the WNIT.
The Women's National Invitational Tournament, or WNIT, invites the 40 best teams that don't make the NCAA tournament.
The fajahws record of 16-10 is good enough for postseason consideration, but a 5-10 conference record is keeping them out of the NCAA tournament.
The men's NIT is owned by the NCAA, but that is not the case with the WNIT. It is currently run by Triple Crown Sports, a company based out of Fort Collins, Colo. The NCAA governs the tournament, but does not control the day-to-day operations or have any input into which teams are selected.
Another difference is that every game in the WNIT is played with a home-court advantage. Logistical issues play into that selection. The tournament must consider which teams have arenas available during tournament dates, as well as the travel expenses in getting there.
"We look at who would be a good host site as far as furthering the excitement of women's basketball," Carlson said.
While Carlson said she hadn't seen enough numbers to comment definitively, the Jayhawks appear to have a strong case to host the tournament at Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks have averaged almost 3,000 fans a game this season, and that number spiked to more than 5,000 for big games against Texas and Missouri.
Both numbers are well above the national average of 1,500 per game, a number that was calculated by the NCAA during the 2003-2004 season.
The Big 12 conference as a whole has led the country in attendance for the past six years.
If the Jayhawks were to host a first-round WNIT game at Allen Fieldhouse, the earliest possible game date would be March 16, although the team could schedule the game later than that if they wished.
The WNIT will announce its field in the hours after the NCAA chooses the 65 teams it wants, which will announced at 6 p.m. on Monday, March 13.

Hall honors first woman ever
HALL OF FAME
BY TRAVIS REED
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. — Effa Manley became the first woman elected to the baseball Hall of Fame when the former Newark Eagles co-owner was among 17 people from the Negro Leagues and pre-Negro Leagues chosen Monday by a special committee.
"This is a historic day at the Hall of Fame," shrine president Dale Petroskey said. "I hoped that someday there would be a woman in the Hall. It's a pretty proud moment."
This year's Hall class — 18, including former reliever Bruce Sutter — is by far the biggest in history, breaking the record of 11 in 1946. There are now 278 Hall members.
Mule Suttles and Biz Mackey were among the 12 players selected, along with five executives.
Buck O'Neil and Minnie Minoso, the only living members among the 39 candidates on the ballot, were not elected by the 12-person panel.
Manley co-owned the New Jersey-based Eagles with her husband, Abe, and ran the business end of the team for more than a decade. The Eagles won the Negro Leagues World Series in 1946 — one year before Jackie Robinson broke the major league color barrier.
"She was very knowledgeable, a very handsome woman," said Hall of Famer Monte Irvin, who played for the Eagles while the Manleys owned the team, as did Don Newcombe and Larry Doby.
"She did a lot for the Newark community. She was just a well-rounded influential person," Irvin said. "She tried to organize the owners to build their own parks and have a balanced schedule and to really improve the lot of the Negro League players."
Manley was white, but married a black man and passed as a black woman, said Larry Lester, a baseball author and member of the voting committee.
Manley used baseball to advance civil rights causes with events such as an Anti-Lynching Day at the ballpark. She died in 1981 at age 84.
"She campaigned to get as much money as possible for these ballplayers, and rightfully so." Lester said.
"She was a pioneer in so many ways, in terms of integrating the team with the community," said Leslie Heaphy, a Kent State professor on the committee. "She's also one of the owners who pushed very hard to get recognition for Major League Baseball when they started to sign some of their players."

Buck O'Neil receives a hug from Albertine Morgan of Kansas City after a press conference for the former Kansas City Monarch at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Mo., Monday. O'Neil was not included in a group of 17 former players and executives with the Negro Leagues inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
Hall of Fame denies K.C. baseball hero
BY DOUG TUCKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Men and women dabbed at their eyes. People hugged quietly and ducked into little private spaces to speak in hushed tones.
The news hit the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum like a bomb. What was supposed to be a grand celebration of the life of one of this town's most beloved citizens now had the feel of a funeral.
Seventeen people from the Negro Leagues and pre-Negro Leagues eras were voted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, but not Buck O'Neil.
Not Buck? Almost everyone in Kansas City thought the immensely popular 94-year-old would be a shoo-in when a 12-person committee considered a list of 39 candidates.
Sure, his statistics during a long career as a player and player/manager were not the greatest.
But he did win two Negro League batting titles. He did have a successful career as a player/manager with the Kansas City Monarchs and he did become the first black coach in the major leagues.
Most importantly, everyone thought, were the contributions he's made traveling the country keeping the legacy of black baseball alive.
He has been the face, voice and inspiration behind Kansas City's Negro Leagues Museum. In the opinion of many, those 17 who got in ahead of him may never have even been considered at all if not for O'Neil's tireless efforts to tell their story at a time when the country was ready to forget all about them.
A couple of hundred of O'Neil's friends and supporters gathered at the museum early Monday afternoon to be part of a happy celebration. They could hardly believe the bad news.
Finally, it was left to O'Neil to do what he does best and lift everyone spirits.
"God's been good to me," he said. "You can see that, can't you? It didn't happen. They didn't think Buck was good enough to be in the Hall of Fame. That's the way they thought about it and that's the way it is, so we're going to live with that. Now, if I'm a hall-of-famer for you, that's all right with me. Just keep loving old Buck.
"Don't shed any tears 'cause I'm not going to the Hall of Fame."
Everyone broke into applause.
"You think about this," he said. "Here I am, the grandson of a slave. And here the whole world was excited about whether I was going into the Hall of Fame or not. We've come a long ways. Before, we never even thought about anything like that. America, you've really grown and you're still growing."
A Florida native, O'Neill has made Kansas City his home since moving out of the Deep South to escape racial persecution.

"It brought us back down. Winning 10 in a row, everybody was high on themselves. I think the loss brought everyone back to reality."
With the loss to Texas, Kansas fell one game out of first place. Coach Bill Self and the players said they understood that they must win out and hope that Texas stumbles in order to take the conference crown.
"We had an opportunity to put ourselves in a lot better position on Saturday and didn't make the most of it, obviously." Self said. "All we can worry about is beating Colorado. Winning the league will always be a goal of ours until we can't win it anymore."
Texas has Oklahoma and Texas A&M remaining on its schedule while Kansas has Colorado and Kansas State.
The loss to Texas likely also affected Kansas' NCAA tournament seed. Self admitted that the team has no chance of
getting a No.1 or a No.2 seed when the bracket is released in two weeks.
20 weeks. He said he wouldn't talk with the players about what seed they could be looking at.
"I think that's pretty premature," Self said. "If our whole focus right now is beating Colorado and trying to win the league, I don't think you bring stuff like that into it just yet."
Basketball notes: Julian Wright was named Big 12 Rookie of the Week for his efforts against Baylor and Texas. The freshman forward averaged 18.5 points in those two games. Wright was the third Kansas freshman to earn the honor this season. Rush and freshman guard Mario Chalmers were the others.
Kansas' loss to Texas dropped them from 16th to 18th in the Associated Press poll that was released Monday. The Jayhawks also fell from 20th to 22nd in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll.

comes to Lawrence next year for the basketball game. I care about what we learned from Saturday's game. We found out how the Jayhawks stood against a very talented Texas team on the road. That's all that should matter at this point in the season.
If not for Wright, Kansas might have lost by a margin that could only have been replicated by Texas quarterback Vince Young and his National Championship football team. Wright was Kansas' only productive scorer on Saturday. He scored 18 points on a night in which only one other Jayhawk scored in double figures.

a widespread investigation into financial aid for athletes.
Wolf's indictment in December 2004 was the first in a scandal that has resulted in charges against seven coaches and the athletic director and led to the firing of its president at the beela-
guered central Kansas college.
Coaches have been accused of getting athletes grants they were not qualified to receive and campus jobs that paid them for work they did not perform; of helping athletes with correspondence courses and tests; and of sending false academic credentials to other schools on the athletes' behalf.
Wolf and two fellow coaches pleaded guilty in federal court in exchange for reduced charges and their cooperation with prosecutors in the investigation.

As she found her niche, she also raised her expectations. Her goal for this year was to make the postseason and she has been playing with the passion it will take to achieve it.
"I want to make the tournament this year, and I still think we have a chance." Brown said.
For Brown, preparation for
the tournament means spending time in the weight room building up her stamina, time on the court practicing her shot and time off the court with the other players.

The Jayhawks have rebounded since then and appear to be headed to the Women's National Invitational Tournament at the end of the season.
Brown said that although she was excited about leaving the

Allig Rubino, off-guard.
Brown's soft-spokenness
While Brown was talking to a reporter, Rubino told Brown that she was "not very talkative in interviews."
That didn't seem to bother Brown, who will talk about her dog Vinnie — "crazy and cute" her relationship with the seniors
"I'm a beach person."
Happily with the seniors — "us three have a weird kind of bond, it's funny" — and her desire to leave the Midwest someday
Hallman and Kemp both credit her as a huge part of the team's success, and Henrickson said that the younger players are inspired by her work in the weight room and off the court.
Even without her vocal influence, Kaylee Brown has still found a way to put her stamp on this team.

To
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★
Others help point the way to immediate success. Sometimes you might not be too sure of what you want, but not today. Use your sense of direction, luck and innate skill set. Success naturally follows in your path.
Tonight: Hang with friends.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) *****
Others call on you. Taking the lead, though not always your favorite activity, will seem natural here. Others compliment you on a job well done. Interestingly, the end result will be that you see someone very differently.
Outside: On late again.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ******
Step back and force yourself to see all the different issues surrounding a problem.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ******
Allow others to have their way. You will start to draw the type of results you want only if you relax. Sometimes you cannot run all aspects of the show. Let others act on your behalf. You will like what happens.
Tonight: Say yes to an associate.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ***** You will see with your alternatives more clearly if you work with the basics. Sometimes you might misread others, perhaps because of wishing thinkig! Patience and good communication will make you a favorite. Tonight: Go along with another's request
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ***
You might get entrenched in a problem and not be able to figure out a solution. Much goes on because of your kindness and expressing yourself. You are easily misunderstood. Spell out your thoughts.
Tonight: Easy do you?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ******
You delight in creative and intense moments.
Others finally understand your intentions.
Your feelings warm up, as do another person's. He or she has much to smile about. Loosen up and think positively.
Expenses could go overboard.
Tonight: Laugh and relax.
You need to think through a decision rather than create an uproar. If you stay calm and directed, somehow you will be able to sort through your priorities. Investigate rather than judge. Stay mum if you are unsecure of yourself.
Tonight: At home
Tonight: At home.
CAPICRORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ State your case with the feelings and direction necessary. Others respond with sensitivity and caring. Choose your words with gentleness. Honey works better than vinegar. You can prove that fact today. Tonight: Say little.

Greg Griesenaver/KANSAN
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★
You might want to rethink a financial decision. Could you be a bit extravagant right now? Be careful not to make quick judgments, as you could easily be wrong.
Be careful with new people just the same. Facts and experience count.
Tonight: Treat yourself to a relaxing few moments.

Player leaves camp
Royals pitcher travels home for personal reasons
BY ALAN ESKEW
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
I'm not going to go through a checklist of things out of respect to Zack and his family. I will tell you that right now, it is not drugs. He didn't get kicked out of camp or anything like that."
Allard Baird Royals general manager
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Kansas City had hoped to build Future pitching staffs around 22-year-old Zack Greinke, but now it's not likely he'll even be in the Royals starting rotation when the season starts April 3.
Bell said Greinke's chances of making the starting rotation depended on how long he staved out of training camp.
Greinke left camp Sunday, with the club's permission, to return to his home in Orlando, Fla. No one knows when he will return.
"We're going about it, quite frankly, that Zack is not going to be here in time to get ready for the rotation," Royals manager Buddy Bell said after Monday's practice. "We pretty much are preparing for the worst right now. That could change. I don't think it will."
"It affects it a lot, depending when he can come back," Bell said. "If he would come
back tomorrow, which isn't going to be the case, there's no issue."
Bell said that for Greinke to be ready for a possible start on April 14 — the first time the Royals will need a fifth starter — he would need to get back to Surprise "in time to get in shape and show he can get people out."
Starting pitchers normally build up to around 90 pitches in March to prepare for the season.
General Manager Allard Baird said there is no timetable for the return of Greinke, who led the American League with 17 losses last season.
"Quite honestly, I think that is a long shot," Bell said.
Bell said he had not spoken to Greinke since he went to Florida, but planned to call him later Monday "to keep in touch with him and see how he's doing."
Baird said there could still be time for Greinke to earn a place in the rotation.
"If he left March 15, that would be a different story," Baird said. "We haven't played a game yet. No pitcher has pitched a pitch yet in a game, so to me that does not factor in. The most important thing for us right now, really, is for him to take care of the personal matter. Everything else is secondary."
Baird said Greinke's reason for leaving "is completely personal."
OLYMPICS
- including first-time winners Slovakia and Latvia - earned at least one medal, up from a high of 24 in 1998 and 2002. And 11 countries won at least 10 medals - the previous mark was 10 countries at Nagano in 1998.
OLYMPICS Everyone's a winner at 2006 Winter Games
Apolo Anton Ohno upset favored South Korean Ahn Hyun-soon to win the gold medal in 500-meter short track speedskating Saturday night. He later won a bronze in the 5,000-meter relay.
American Bode Miller ended his medalless Olympics by straddling a gate near the beginning of his men's slalom run Saturday, disqualifying him from the event.
TURIN, Italy — Germany and the United States won the most medals at a share-the-wealth Turin Olympics that featured more countries winning medals and more in double figures than ever before.
Germany led in Turin in overall medals with 29 and golds with 11, while the Americans won 25 medals overall, nine of them gold.

Cardinal flies into training late
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Ricardo Rincon winds up during Major League Baseball spring training in Jupiter, Fla., Monday. Rincon was delayed in arriving to training camp due to visa problems.
JUPITER, Fla. — Ricardo Rincon finally made it to the St. Louis Cardinals spring training camp Monday, and immediately began throwing live batting practice.
BY CHRIS TUNNO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The 35-year-old left-handed reliever, signed to a two-year, $2.9 million free-agent contract in December, had been a no-show, fighting visa problems in his native Mexico. Rincon wasted little time in meeting with manager Tony La Russa to smooth any hard feelings.
La Russa said Rincon had been working out in Mexico, so he decided to have him throw live batting practice. He threw to a group that included Albert Pujols, Scott Rolen, David Eckstein, Junior Spivey, Chris Duncan and Rick Ankiel.
"I talked to Tony and he's happy now." Rincon said.
"He has been working, but there's a difference between throwing to friends at home and our guys in camp," La Russa said.
"I think he's doing everything at the plate ahead of what we expected," La Russa said. "I haven't really talked
The workouts on Monday were the last before the Cardinals begin exhibition play against Florida Atlantic today. The first game against a major league team is Thursday against the New York Mets in Iupiter.
Rolen, coming back from a shoulder injury that forced him to miss most of last season, continued to show good progress and could play by this weekend. La Russa said.
to him about this weekend, but my guess is he'll probably play."
The practice was concluded with an intrasquad scrimmage in which two teams of 10 players received two at-bats in a simulated game
format against pitching instructor Mark Riggins. Skip Schumaker, Duncan and Ankiel all hit home runs in an 8-8 tie.
La Russa said Ankiel will start in center field against Florida Atlantic.

Player leaves camp
Royals pitcher travels home for personal reasons
BY ALAN ESKEW
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"I'm not going to go through a checklist of things out of respect to Zack and his family. I will tell you that right now, it is not drugs. He didn't get kicked out of camp or anything like that."
MLB
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Kansas City had hoped to build Future pitching staffs around 22-year-old Zack Greinke, but now it's not likely he'll even be in the Royals start-ing rotation when the season starts April 3.
Allard Baird Royals general manager
"We're going about it, quite frankly, that Zack is not going to be here in time to get ready for the rotation," Royals manager Buddy Bell said after Monday's practice. "We pretty much are preparing for the worst right now. That could change. I don't think it will."
Greinke left camp Sunday, with the club's permission, to return to his home in Orlando, Fla. No one knows when he will return.
Bell said Greinke's chances of making the starting rotation depended on how long he stayed out of training camp.
"It affects it a lot, depending when he can come back," Bell said. "If he would come
back tomorrow, which isn't going to be the case, there's no issue."
General Manager Allard Baird said there is no timetable for the return of Greinke, who led the American League with 17 losses last season.
Bell said that for Greinke to be ready for a possible start on April 14 — the first time the Royals will need a fifth starter — he would need to get back to Surprise "in time to get in shape and show he can get people out."
Starting pitchers normally build up to around 90 pitches in March to prepare for the season.
"Quite honestly, I think that is a long shot," Bell said.
Bell said he had not spoken to Greinke since he went to Florida, but planned to call him later Monday "to keep in touch with him and see how he's doing."
Baird said there could still be time for Greinke to earn a place in the rotation.
"If he left March 15, that would be a different story." Baird said. "We haven't played a game yet. No pitcher has pitched a pitch yet in a game, so to me that does not factor in. The most important thing for us right now, really, is for him to take care of the personal matter. Everything else is secondary."
Baird said Greinke's reason for leaving "is completely personal."

Apolo Anton Ohno upset favored South Korean Ahn Hyun-soon to win the gold medal in 500-meter short track speedskating Saturday night. He later won a bronze in the 5,000-meter relay.
Germany led in Turin in overall medals with 29 and golds with 11, while the Americans won 25 medals overall, nine of them gold.
American Bode Miller ended his medal-less Olympics by straddling a gate near the beginning of his men's slalom run Saturday, disqualifying him from the event.

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Ricardo Rincon winds up during Major League Baseball spring training in Jupiter, Fla., Monday. Rincon was delayed in arriving to training camp due to visa problems.

Cardinal flies into training late
BY CHRIS TUNNO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JUPITER, Fla. — Ricardo Rincon finally made it to the St. Louis Cardinals spring training camp Monday, and immediately began throwing live batting practice.
The 35-year-old left-handed reliever, signed to a two-year, $2.9 million free-agent contract in December, had been a no-show, fighting visa problems in his native Mexico. Rincon wasted little time in meeting with manager Tony La Russa to smooth any hard feelings.
"I talked to Tony and he's happy now." Rincon said.
La Russia said Rincon had been working out in Mexico, so he decided to have him throw live batting practice. He threw to a group that included Albert Pujols, Scott Rolen, David Eckstein, Junior Spivey, Chris Duncan and Rick Ankiel.
"He has been working, but there's a difference between throwing to friends at home and our guys in camp." La Russa said.
"I think he's doing everything at the plate ahead of what we expected," La Russa said. "I haven't really talked
The workouts on Monday were the last before the Cardinals begin exhibition play against Florida Atlantic today. The first game against a major league team is Thursday against the New York Mets in Jupiter.
Rolen, coming back from a shoulder injury that forced him to miss most of last season, continued to show good progress and could play by this weekend. La Russa said.
to him about this weekend, but my guess is he'll probably play."
The practice was concluded with an intrasquad scrimmage in which two teams of 10 players received two at-bats in a simulated game
format against pitching instructor Mark Riggins. Skip Schumaker, Duncan and Ankiel all hit home runs in an 8-8 tie.
La Russa said Ankiel will start in center field against Florida Atlantic.

In Surprise, Ariz., Kansas City Royals right-hander Zack Greinke left camp for undisclosed personal reasons.
Also at Orioles camp, AllStar Melvin Mora pulled out of the World Baseball Classic after being asked to play center field for Venezuela, rather than third base.

In Kissimmee, Fla., Brian Jordan fielded ground balls at first base as he attempted to improve his chances of making the Atlanta Braves' roster as a utility player.

Olympics excitement already surrounds Beijing
Now that the winter Olympians have stolen away from Italy with their skis, skates and polished granite curling stones, the eyes of the sports world turn with rising excitement to the 2008 summer games in Beijing
BY JOHN RODERICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The excitement has been stirred by an irony of history. It
follows the Athens games, site of both the ancient and modern Olympics, and comes for the first time to a vast and fast-growing Asian nation which got seriously involved in Olympic sports less than 25 years ago.
After the less than thrilling winter Olympics staged in a country familiar to millions of Americans, the Beijing games promise all the elements of an
international thriller: mystery, money, controversy and pageantry. It will offer to the West a glimpse, through press and television, into a little-known country whose old civilization is colored by two very different philosophers, Confucius and Karl Marx.
Although it is regarded as one of the cradles of human civilization, its interest in organized
sports during its Confucian era, which lasted until 1949, was minimal. Sports were the individual diversions of a highlyborn few.
During the 1980s and 1990s, when Deng shook up China, mass sports had their golden age. The women's volleyball team made the breakthrough in 1981: It defeated Japan for the first time to win a world championship, then after grabbing five consecutive world titles won an Olympic gold.
Before that, during the nationalist republican era, China competed in three Olympic games but never won a medal. Since Deng's day, it has won hundreds. In the 2004 Athens Olympics it took 23 golds, only three behind the leader, the United States.

Duke remains at top of poll
BY JIM O'CONNELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It's back to a familiar pair at the top of The Associated Press' college basketball poll.
Memphis (26-2) extended its winning streak to 15 games with victories over Texas-El Paso and Tulsa last week and moved up one spot to No. 3, matching its highest ranking this season. The Tigers received the other first-place vote.
Duke was No. 1 for the second straight week Monday, and Connecticut moved up one spot to No. 2. The teams held those two spots for eight of the previous 11 polls, each on top for four weeks.
place vote. Villanova (22-3) dropped from second to fourth after beating Cincinnati 74-72 and losing at Connecticut.
Tennessee was 11th followed by Boston College, North Carolina, Washington, UCLA, West Virginia, Florida, Kansas, Oklahoma and Georgetown.
The last five ranked teams were LSU, North Carolina State, Iowa, Nevada and Michigan State.
Gonzaga held fifth place in the next-to-last poll of the season, while Texas and George Washington switched spots at sixth and seventh.
Pittsburgh moved up one place to No.8, while Ohio State and Illinois were ninth and 10th.
Pittsburgh was at West Virginia on Monday night in the first of four double-ranked games this week. On Saturday, North Carolina is at Duke and Illinois visits Michigan State. Oklahoma is at Texas on Sunday.

The price of keeping warm

Students who live off-campus are seeing an increase in their monthly gas bills as soon as they open their mail. The increases stem from a variety of reasons, including colder temperatures, energy inefficient homes and appliances and a recent increase in the cost of natural gas.

Milwaukee senior Brad Pachefsky lives in a threebedroom house off of Kasold Drive. His gas bill jumped from $120 in December to $200 in January.
N PAGE 8A
Facing gas bills nearly two times higher than last month, students who live in standalone houses may be feeling
the natural gas rate increases more than any other student group.
Students in apartments will still see an increase, though. Matt Anderson, Chicago senior, lives in Carson Place, off Indiana Street.
"We monitor it pretty tight," Anderson said. "It's pretty obvious when it goes up."
Anderson also experienced a comparatively higher bill; a $49 gas bill in December paved way for a $60 bill in January.
The increase is not surprising to Larissa Long, manager of external affairs for Aquila, Lawrence's natural gas provider. She said there are lots of reasons for the fluctuation in monthly bills.
"In a home, there is probably more square footage," Long said. "Depending on whether or not it is more energy efficient and has more energy efficient appliances, even landscaping can play a role." she said.
Long also noted that many apartments don't have all four walls facing the elements. Houses may have cold — or hot — air hitting all four walls.
Pachefsky said that in the summer, his landscaping helped keep bills low.
"In the summer, we have a lot of trees around our house, so we definitely saved some money by being in the shade," Pachefsky said. "But in the winter, it still sucks."
Last May, Aquila made a 2.4 percent rate increase, its

first increase of base natural gas rates since 2000.
That 2.4 percent increase equaled out to approximately $2.7 million, according to Aquila's Web site.
Long suggested, however,
that the extent that the bill

consumers themselves.

Long made it clear, however, that Aquila is not raising the cost of natural gas; it follows a purchased gas adjustment each month.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Month celebrates, educates
Professor found home at University
BY ANNE WELTMER
aweltmer@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
As a native of Philadelphia, Hobart Jackson had his doubts about Kansas' conservatism, and he thought his new professorship at the University of Kansas would just be a stepping stone in his career when he arrived in 1971.
Thirty-four years later, he's still here.
T
"I had a perception of Kansas as not necessarily being a place for me to stay" Jackson said. "Lawrence is unique, though."
Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN
Jackson came to the University as one of many newly-hired African-American faculty members after the Black Student Union protests and the burning of the Kansas Union on April 20, 1970.
Jackson was recruited when colleague James Rosser moved to the University of Kansas to become Associate Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs.
Professor Hobart Jackson gives a lecture on architectural photography on Tuesday. Jackson was brought to the University of Kansas to diffuse black unrest in 1971.
Jackson has been involved in the Black Faculty and Staff Council since its inception in 1975.
Jackson said he was originally recruited to run the community design center in Kansas City, Mo., but after his interview the University hired him to teach beginning studio and graphic design classes and serve as a mentor for African-American students.
Charles Kahn, the dean of KU's school of architecture at the time, also played a large part in Jackson's arrival at the University. Kahn was open to having African-Americans on his faculty, advocating what he called "urban scholars."
"Quite frankly, we were looking for more minority professors," Kahn said, "but he would have qualified anyway. We gave him opportunities he well deserved."
History, message of celebration important
BY ANNE WELTMER

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Rona Remmie wouldn't be where she is today without African-Americans who paved the way by desegregating schools and public places during the Civil Rights Movement.
"I wouldn't be able to sit in a seat next to a white person," said Remmie, Kansas City, Mo., junior and Black Student Union vice president.
She said it was important she celebrated her predecessors.
Kristen Guillot, Shawnee senior and Black Student Union president, said, "It's a way to acknowledge the African-American contribution to American society."
He said it was an opportunity to educate and appreciate African-American history. "This month gives a title to what we should be doing all year round," said Guillot.
Black History Month was created to "celebrate those who were left out of the written and popular story," said Deborah Dandridge, president of Black Faculty and Staff Council.
Black History Month began almost a century ago when African-American Harvard historian Carter G. Woodson thought it would be beneficial to create a week to focus on African American's contributions to America's history with the goal of incorporating African-American narrative into public school curriculum.
The week began around President Lincoln's and Frederick Douglas' birthdays, but in 1976, President Ford extended the week to a month-long celebration in February, Dandridge said.
"We have had a diverse nation from the beginning," Dandridge said. "The ideal will come when you don't have to highlight groups based on race."
-Edited by Matt Wilson
Dandridge said she thought that ideal wouldn't happen anytime soon, if at all, and Americans would continue to need Black History Month in order to fight the misunderstandings and misinformation about the African-American role in American history.

EDUCATION
Sex course has unusual empty seats
BY KELLY LANIGAN
EDITOR@KANSAN.COM
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Only 44 people enrolled in the 10-week, noncredit human sexuality course at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, taught by retired KU professor Dennis Dailey. The course accepts both KU students and non-students, but is struggling to gain enrollment.
Dailey said he did not know why enrollment dropped. He said he was considering not teaching the course in the future if enrollment remained low.
The room the class is taught in accommodates 100 people and was full when Dailey taught the course last spring.
In the past, controversy and provided free publicity for the non-credit course. After accusations that Dailey showed pornography in class in 2003, I think it's important to question attitudes and beliefs about sexuality."
Jane Segebrecht
Committee Coordinator
In the past, controversy surrounded Dailey provided 467
tional media coverage attracted attention to Dailey. At the time, both the ECM course and KU course were full, and had waiting lists.
This semester is the first spring that Dailey has not taught at the University. He retired in June 2005, but has continued to teach the course as a non-credit option to benefit students.
The ECM Sexuality Education Committee advertised the course in hopes of gaining interest. Jane Segebrecht, committee coordinator, said the committee was trying to be active in advertising.
Dailey draws students with his name, but fewer students at the University remember the controversy.
"I think a lot of people enroll just because of who Dennis Dailey is," Segebrecht said. "He's such a powerful speaker."
Segebrecht said that people enrolled in the course at the first class meeting last spring. She anticipated that some people would show up at the last minute again this semester. A small class size would take something away from the class experience and she hoped there would be a last-minute rush to enroll, she said.

State senator visits campus

SPEAKER
Sen. Jim Barnett speaks to a group of students Tuesday in the Kansas Room in the Union. Barnett is a candidate for governor. If elected, he aims to reduce taxes and reform the state's spending.
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
fdavis@kansan.com
KANSAN SCIENCE WRITER
State Senator Jim Barnett says he has a plan to get Kansas' economic engine running. He just needs enough votes to replace incumbent Kathleen Sebelius as governor to turn the key.
Barnett, R-Emporia, a state senator since 2000 and chairman of the Senate Public Health and Wellfare committee, spoke for nearly 60 minutes last night to a group of about 45 people at the Kansas Union, touching on topics ranging from state taxes to stemcell research. Barnett's speech was the second in the KU College Republican's gubernatorial candidate series.
Using a variety of charts to emphasize Kansas' woeful economic standing in comparison to the rest of the United States, Barnett stressed a need for Kansas to decrease taxes in order to bring more businesses to the state.
One way he proposed doing that was by implementing a 10 percent investment tax credit that could be used by businesses of any size. The tax credit would allow businesses save 10 percent in taxes on money it spent on improvements. Barnett, a physician, used the example of a $300,000 electronic medical record upgrade he made to his private practice in Emporia. With the credit, $30,000 would be saved at tax time.
"With a tax credit and lower taxes, businesses will come to Kansas," Barnett said, citing the need for Kansas to ease its economic reliance on Johnson County.
Barnett also advocated freezing the state's budget, which he said could be done without halting funding for K-12 schools, regents schools or Medicaid, which comprise 75 percent of the state's budget and must be funded under the Kansas Constitution.
Such a move would halt spending on highway projects. Barnett called Kansas' highways fire, "Cadillac" roads that Kansans were using to drive out of the state to find jobs elsewhere. Barnett said freeing that 25 percent of the budget would allow money to go into luring businesses back into the state.
Moreover, Barnett said that freezing the budget would not him-
state employee wages, considering that Gov. Sebelius had frozen the budget before and state employees still received raises.
Speaking about his K-12 school finance plan, Barnett proposed funneling $400 million dollars into schools over a four-year period. Barnett was a member of the Emporia Board of Education from 1991-1999, serving as the board's president from 1993-1997.
Barnett also talked about supporting stem-cell research and therapy, recounting stories of three patients he had seen who were diagnosed with cancer. He stressed that without the benefit of adult stem-cell therapy, all three patients would now be deceased.

There is an old rumor that the Speaker of the House of Commons in Britain cannot 'speak'. Actually, the speaker can speak and does so often. He calls on members to speak, calls for order and for other administrative tasks. But the speaker cannot engage in debate or express his opinions, hence the story of the Speaker who cannot speak.

Bike thefts on the rise in '05 U-locks provide the best protection from potential thieves

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
These numbers have dramatically risen compared to the 15 bike thefts reported on campus in 2004. A majority of last year's thefts occurred at residence halls and scholarship halls. Oliver and McCollum halls were the sites of 31 percent of the bikes stolen in 2005.
Campus bike thefts more than tripled from 2004 to 2005. Forty-seven bikes were reported stolen last year, amounting to more than $10,000 in stolen property, according to KU Public Safety Office documents.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, spokesman of the KU Public Safety Office, said he was not surprised Oliver and McCollum had been rife with bike theft because they were heavily populated residence halls with many students who use bikes as transportation.
F
The department installed security cameras to monitor parking lots and bike racks
on campus in August, but this proved ineffective. Eighty-five percent of the bikes stolen in 2005 were stolen after Sept. 1.
What is a bike-riding student to do?
"Keep your bike inside if you can," Shay Brown, Lawrence graduate student, said.
Brown, who has worked for Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop, 802 Massachusetts St., for almost two years, said there was no sure way to keep your bike from getting stolen.
"If someone wants your bike they will get it," he said. "If they want it bad enough and they have enough time, they will get it."
Christopher Norris, Pittsburg freshman, unlocks his bike from the rack outside Budig Hall yesterday. Norris' previous bike was stolen.
There are some steps student bike riders can take to keep their bike from becoming another statistic.
Brown has ridden his bike everyday to campus for seven years and has never had a problem with bike theft. He said that a good, quality lock is well worth the investment.
Brown recommends students spend the extra money and invest in a U-lock, which
is less convenient because it cannot be secured to many objects other than bike racks, but provides more security.
Cable locks are less expensive and more convenient than U-locks because they can be secured to many different objects other than just bike racks, but they do not provide
enough security against theft, he said.
"Cable locks can be cut through fairly easily." Brown said.
So far this year only one bike has been reported stolen. The theft was reported last Wednesday at 1312 Louisiana St.

OBITUARY
Corretta Scott King, civil rights activist
BY ERRIN HAINES THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Coretta Scott King, who worked to keep her husband's dream alive with a chin-held-high grace and serenity that made her a powerful symbol of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s creed of brotherhood and nonviolence, died Tuesday. She was 78.
The "first lady of the civil rights movement" died in her sleep during the night at an alternative medicine clinic in Mexico, her family said. Arrangements were being made to
fly the body back to Atlanta.
She had been recovering from a serious stroke and heart attack suffered last August. Just two weeks ago, she made her first public appearance in a year on the eve of her late husband's birthday.
Doctors at the clinic said King was battling advanced ovarian cancer when she arrived there on Thursday. The doctors said the cause of death was respiratory failure.
the Georgia Capitol and piles of flowers placed at the tomb of her slain husband. Flags at the King Center — the institute devoted to the civil rights leader's legacy — were lowered to half-staff.
News of her death led to tributes to King across Atlanta, including a moment of silence in
"She wore her grief with grace. She exerted her leadership with dignity," the Rev. Joseph Lowery, who helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference with King's husband in 1957.
Former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young, one of Martin Luther King's top aides, said Coretta Scott King's fortitude rivaled
that of her husband.
"She was strong, if not stronger,
than he was," Young said.
Coretta Scott King was a supportive lieutenant to her husband during the most dangerous and tumultuous days of the civil rights movement, and after his assassination in Memphis, Tenn., on April 4, 1968, she carried on his work while also raising their four children.
"I'm more determined than ever that my husband's dream, will become a reality," the young widow said soon after his slaying.

The adjustment allows Aquila to use the wholesale price of natural gas to update consumer bills from month to month.
Aquila's purchased gas adjustment clause allows the company to pass onto customers any price change in the cost of natural gas. Conversely, it can also allow Aquila to decrease customer's bills when natural gas prices are low. Long said.
"That's insane," Pachefsky said of the increases. "This winter is almost over, but there are a lot of people who have to live paycheck to paychee, so it really sucks for them."
There does not, however, appear to be a decrease in the immediate future.
Pachefsky said that his parents took care of many of his expenses, including utilities, but he said he tried to learn from his roommate just how important it was to be conscientious about bills.
"Kids aren't responsible. They should have a class on it or something," Pachefsky said.

The class aims to help people to better understand their own sexuality. Organizers in the committee brought Dailey to the ECM for students and nonstudents alike to have a place to talk about sexuality, a rare opportunity in an academic setting.
Thad Holcombe, campus pastor at the ECM, said he believed the church had a responsibility to aid in understanding of human sexuality. Discontinuing the course would eliminate the only such sexuality class in Lawrence.
"We think it's so important
to have a place to talk about sexuality and sex," Holcombe said.
Anyone can enroll in the course up through the first class period on Thursday. Classes run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m Thurdays. The class will meet for 10 sessions. Enrollment is $40 for students and $50 for nonstudents. The course is non-credit.

Chances are you've seen this bearded beauty on TV. Whether he was sending an opponent to the mats with a roundhouse kick or propelling a ninja through a window in one of his numerous cheesy films, you know who Chuck Norris is.
His films have all been borderline embarrassing, but most likely you've caught a glimpse of one. He's appeared in 24 movies, dating back to 1969, and most notably starred as the title character in "Walker, Texas Ranger" from 1993 to 2001 on CBS. His real claim to fame has nothing to do with his acting, however. It's his martial arts expertise and devilish charm that catapulted him into stardom.
In a matter of months, the 65-year-old Norris has made it back to the masses. If you go to www.google.com and type in "Chuck Norris Jokes," you'll see why he's become widely popular again. Roughly 450,000 hits appear on most search engines, including Google.
Why is it that Norris became the butt of jokes all of the sudden? Was it his camoe in "Dodgeball" as a judge where he gave his notorious thumbs-up of approval that sparked fan interest?
"I think, as fans, we want everyone out there to know the truth about Chuck Norris," said Joe Dougherty, Olathe junior. "All we're doing
is recognizing his accomplishments. Who else can honestly say they've counted to infinity twice?"
The jokes have seen the likes of "Saturday Night Live" and many late-night talk shows. Even if you don't think they are funny, or maybe think they are just flat-out immature, you've still got to be impressed with their creativity.
Here's an example of a local Chuck Norris joke, compliments of Josh Walton, San Fransisco graduate student.
"Chuck Norris actually can touch M.C. Hammer," Walton said.
One Google search found a list of Chuck Norris jokes at www.collegehumor.com. "The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain," the Web site said.
Norris himself doesn't seem to mind at all.
"I'm aware of the made up declarations about me that have recently begun to appear on the Internet and in e-mails as 'chuck Norris facts,'" Norris said in a press release on his Web site, www.ChuckNorris.com. "I've seen some of them. Some are funny. Some are pretty far out.
"Being more a student of the Wild West than the wild world of the Internet, I'm not quite sure what to make of it. It's quite surprising."

Office must disclose details immediately
On Oct. 29, after the KU football team's victory against Missouri, a KU Public Safety Officer used pepper spray on a group of Jayhawk fans carrying part of a goalpost. The University of Kansas has not seen an encounter like this in quite some time and it quickly turned into a high-profile affair on campus.
We applaud the KU Public Safety Office's thorough investigation of the matter and its decision to reveal its findings; however, given the infrequent and serious nature of what transpired, the office should have responded immediately. The office also should be expected to respond with full disclosure because it is accountable to the students, faculty and staff of the University.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey said the office wanted to take time on the investigation because it was a personnel matter. He said he did not know how long the inquiry took, though he did know the results were not ready at the end of last semester, when a reporter from The University Daily Kansan asked about the altercation. In fact, it took nearly three months — from the end of October when the incident occurred to the middle of January — to get a definitive answer on the matter from the office.
Did it really take that long to figure out that the officer's
Stance: The use of force should prompt an explanation.
actions were justified? Haven't murders been solved in this kind of time frame?
Issue: Disclosure and the KU Public Safety Office
"Typically in these situations we don't announce the results, but in this case we answered the reporter's questions," Bailey said.
When a use of force against students occurs, especially when Bailey said he could not recall another incident occurring on campus comparable to this one, circumstances must be different. It is unfortunate that an event like this is necessary to break the normally tight-lipped stance the office takes with reporters. The Kansan still does not have any extra knowledge from the office except that the officer thought that he was being charged and that his use of pepper spray was justified.
Next time a use of force against students by those charged with protecting them occurs on campus, the office must be more forright and punctual in its answers as a service to us all.

Congratulations to Kansas. It seems to be on the rise in the Big 12.
I came to Lawrence from Lincoln, Neb., for the basketball game between Nebraska and Kansas. The Jayhawks beat the hell out of us.
Yes, you defeated our football team. There's no doubt about it. The mighty Crimson and Blue played their hearts out that day, and for that, I applaud them.
That being said, however, I couldn't help but notice how ridiculous the chant of "Just like football!" was.
Now, I'm not trying to stir anything up, but if Kansas State University won the football game between your two schools next year and started chanting "Just like basketball," even though they had beaten you for the first time in 30-some tries, tell me you wouldn't say they were a bunch of idiots.
of Kansas is thrilled by beating our football team once every 37 years, so proud that they chant it at an unrelated sport, let's just say we'll take it.
But, frankly, if the University

COMMENTARY
Realtionships are minefields; the battle rages in our hearts
Forget Baghdad and the West Bank, the real war in the world today is being waged behind our own closed doors.
There are no guns and bombs in this war because the front line today is in the bedroom. These things that we call sex and relationships are the true art of warfare in the 21st century.
Eighties pop singer Pat Benatar was right: Love really is a battlefield. We are all soldiers fighting this battle to the death.
Every weekend we arm ourselves with three different shades of MAC lip gloss packed in our favorite Vuitton or Coach clutch or splash on another deadly mix of the latest Calvin Klein or Abercrombie cologne.
We slap on our usual uniform of expertly distressed jeans and tight-fitting T-shirt. We groom and primp and pre-drink and then groom and primp again with as much intensity as 1,000 Kamikaze troops in World War II.
Someone should have told Donald Rumsfeld to look no further for weapons of mass destruction than on the bodies and in the minds of every single young person in this nation.
ourselves with the weapons of our warfare in our awkward, exhilarating — and sometimes devastating — search for love, lust and companionship.
Every night we ritually ready
For some of us that search ends in our bedrooms where our wildest fantasies, dullest experiences or most horrifying nightmares come true.
It is here, with the fortification of our bedroom door protecting us like a desert tank that we become warriors of a different sort.
It is in the bedroom we are freed from the wearisome tasks of our everyday lives and we are transformed into creatures utterly different from our normal mundane selves.
Whether we are gay, straight, bisexual, male, female, transgender, single, dating, engaged or married, at some point, we have all taken part in the modern mating ritual.
COURTNEY HAGEN opinion@kansan.com
Whether we have found love or had our hearts stomped on
Someone should have told Donald Rumsfeld to look no further for weapons of mass destruction than on the bodies and in the minds of every single young person in this nation.
and thrown out in a million shattered little pieces, we have all served valiantly in this frantic battle between sexual and emotional fulfillment.
Others are newer to the ranks and therefore must suffer through the toughest of training in dating rituals, flirting drills, sexual etiquette and all other embarrassing and awkward matters that will one day prepare us to fight on the front lines.
Some of us are veterans of this war, valiantly sporting the Purple Hearts of battles gone by.
As author Norman Mailer so correctly put it "There is nothing safe about sex. There never will be."
He was right, because when you invite this war into your
own bedroom, you invite all the good and bad that can come with it.
You make yourself vulnerable to the inevitable barrage of shrapnel that will fly your way. In the bedroom, just like on the battlefield, things are never pretty.
We have lost a lot of good men (and women) out there, but we keep fighting, because that is all we know.
It is the sheer exhilaration of the fight that attracts us. That inescapable attraction is why every other week this semester I will be examining another issue from the love and sex battle front.
I will do this not to prescribe any solutions or to offer any explanations in this fierce engagement of modern relationships.
I know and understand no more than you.
I write more as an observer and participant, rather than as an expert, because, just like you, I am fighting this battle too.
So fight on until next time, friends.

COMMENTARY
On Jan. 28, I sold two tickets on eBay for a New Year's Eve concert in Denver.
With only three days before the show, I hurried to the post office to get the tickets in the mail, to save my buyer in Denver some worries and money on shipping.
Later that day, I checked my mail to see if this guy, we'll call him Dick, had sent me the payment for the tickets. Instead, I opened an e-mail telling me he no longer wanted to buy them. Did I ever wish I could retrieve those tickets from the mailbox!
Dick knew I had him there, and he asked me to help him resell these tickets that were now technically his. I told him the tickets were already in the mail, and there was no way to get them back in time for me to resell them.
I know, from a completely capitalistic, strictly business point-of-view, I should have waited for payment before sending the tickets, but I was trying to do Dick a favor. I decided to send Dick a reminder that, according to eBay policy, "Buyers automatically enter into a legally binding contract to purchase the item from the seller if they win the online auction."
Dick responded with a huffy message saying that his address had changed, and since he no longer lived at the address I "rushed" the tickets to, he would not honor our agreement.
DAVID ARMSTRONG opinion@kansan.com
He finished with, "I am disputing the amount you claim I owe and will be filing an appropriate objection with eBay... So, to you I wish good luck in locating your tickets sent into
Neverland with the United States Postal Service."
In other words, Dick wanted to stick me with the tickets, no payment, and a bad rep on eBay. I knew it was partially my fault for trying to get the tickets to him quickly. I was encouraged, though, when I called Dick and we agreed to work together to solve our mutual problem. At one point he threatened, I'll "see you in court and eat the tickets for breakfast," but we eventually settled on a plan.
Dick agreed go to his old address to look for the package containing the tickets, and we agreed to meet up somehow in Denver before the day of the show.
I spent a couple of hours wondering how this situation could possibly work out for me, but finally Dick called me to say that the people living at his old address had received the package and were kind enough to hand it over to him.
Now, all that Dick had to do to get himself out of this was deliver the tickets to a friend of mine, who conveniently lived in Denver. The package was delivered as promised and I arrived the next day. After meeting up with my friend and seeing the package that I never should have mailed, I was relieved. But I still had to sell these tickets!
This gave me the opportunity to explore Denver and find the venue. It didn't take long to find two people willing to buy the tickets, and away I walked, ecstatic that everything had worked out for me and for Dick as well.
♦ Armstrong is an Overland Park park in anthropology
Lesson learned: When it comes to eBay, and to buying and selling in general, little room exists for favors and friendliness, because in the marketplace, it's everyone for himself.

Deerv was wrong when he thought an office job would be right for him.
FRESH TIMES
Welcome to Need Force, can I help you?
YES, MY LAP TOP IS BROKEN, CAN
Sure, we'll find out YOU'LL FIX IT?
what's wrong. It+ will be $80, and
it will be ready in a day.
THE NEXT DAY...
So WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?
We ran a diagnostic test and we've decided it's broken.
That'll be $0.00
It would be funnier if it wasn't true.
Stephen Levy/KANSAN
ARIES (March 21-April 19) ***You might test your mental limits. Don't push yourself for solutions. A discussion could be more enlightening anyway. Pressure builds. You'll find out what you need to know. You feel refreshed and relieved later in the p.r.n.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★ You might be frustrated by what happens when you relax and don't respond immediately. You find ways of dealing with others that could be hovel and more than successful. Pressure builds.
GERMIN (May 21-June 20) ***** Deal with others with understanding and knowledge of where you are going. Someone might buck your ideas. You might want to pull back and think through some information. Double-check your facts.
CANCER (June 21- July 22) ****When a procedure or action doesn't work, you might want to ground it. Your creativity encourages others to think facts through. Someone might be a little lax with his or her finances. Take charge later in the day.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) **** Others run with the ball. All you can do is trot right behind them! A partner could inspire you. Together you can create a lot of interesting events and feelings. By late afternoon, you could view someone a lot differently.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ***** Others are in control. You will opt to do your thing and simply observe others. Toss yourself into a project that inspires you: Let go and enjoy yourself. You might find someone much easier to deal with later in the day.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) * ** Jump into the trenches (so to speak) and complete your to-do list. Someone might intrigue you with a new idea or simply a new way of presenting him- or herself. You will like having the free time this afternoon.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ******You might be mind-boggled by a child or new friend in your life. You also might be putting this person on a pedestal. Try to take off your color-cored glasses. Ultimately, you will be happier with a dose of reality.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★
You are coming from a sound place, but
you might be forced to change your tune
because of someone else. Your sixth
sense pitches in where you might lack
words. In fact, you – yes, you – could be
speeches for at least a minute! Tonight:
Take a midweek break.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★
What you say has an impact. Consider being more in tune with those around you, and choose your words accordingly. You will get better results. Others could easily overwhelm you with their news.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ Be especially careful when dealing with finances and others. You might not like the consequences otherwise. Even your keen intuition could be deceptive and just wishful thinking. Do more questioning.
PISCES (Feb, 19-March 20) *****
You might be on a roll, but if you look around, you'll see that others are not.
Someone needs your time and attention.
Do whatever is necessary to pitch in.
Confusion might surround what you think is a great idea or plan.

Question #4: What is the key to the baseball team's success this season?
Answer: Pitching. The Jayhawks have some issues to work out in the starting rotation. Kansas coach Ritch Price said the team had never been deeper, but the quality of that depth has yet to be seen. They'll start evaluating tonight against Hawaii-Hilo. With junior Sean Land and senior Kodiak Quick as locks to be in the weekend rotation. Price will be looking for a third man to solidify a staff that lost southpaw Mike Zagurski to graduation. Price will look to senior Ricky Fairchild, a transfer from Tulane, who posted a less-than-stellar 6.29 ERA in relief last season for the Green Wave. Freshmen Nick Czyz and Andy Marks are also possibilities.
Question #5: Can the softball team get over last year's shower scandal and build off its NCAA tournament appearance?
Answer: What was forgotten in the tumultuous offseason for coach Tracy Bunge and her squad was that they were a success between the lines. Kansas finished sixth in the Big 12 and advanced to the tournament for the first time since 1999. This season the league's coaches picked
the Jayhawks to finish seventh despite the return of four all-Big 12 performers, including senior Serena Settlemier, the ace of last year's pitching staff. With seniors Destiny Frankenstein, Heather Stanley and Jessica Moppin still in the lineup, this team will surprise the detractors and improve upon last season's results.
O yeah, and ladies, we love those shorts.
There you have it. Five questions, all answered. That's probably the most I've ever accomplished on a Friday.

NHL
St. Louis feeling a little Blue Fire sale begins; Weight and Sillinger traded
BY R.B. FALLSTROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — No offense to the Carolina Hurricanes, but just a few hours after joining them in a trade former St. Louis Blues forward Doug Weight was plotting how he might boomerang back to his old team by next season.
Right now, the fire sale is in full swing for the Blues, formerly a model of consistency with 25 consecutive playoff appearances but presently saddled with the NHL's worst record. For the first time in decades, they're selling off talent instead of stockpiling for the postseason with Weight and Mike Sillinger getting shipped out in a 24-hour period.
This follows the preseason trade of star defenseman Chris Pronger, and the trade deadline is more than a month away. The remaining veterans are left to wonder who'll be next.
Claiming a loss of $40 million in the season before the lockout, team owners Bill and Nancy Laurie put the franchise on the market last summer and then gutted the roster to facilitate a sale that could be finalized this week. The favorite, for the second time during the process, is a group headed by former NBA executive Dave Checketts.
Thus, Weight's ambivalence about going from worst to first in the trade to the Hurricanes, who have the best record in the NHL for prospects and draft picks. Sure, he'll love playing on a Stanley Cup contender, but he hates uprooting his family and has nothing but positive things to say about the Blues organization.
"It stinks," he said of being traded. "but I'm excited."
son and said the Hurricanes did not mention a long term contract. Before leaving town he said he'd love to return to the Blues once the bonfire has burned out and new owners interested in building a contender are in change.
Then again, he'll be an unrestricted free agent after this seating, they long ago conceded the end of a playoff run that dated to the 1979-80 season.
"I'm not afraid to say I love St. Louis," Weight said. "It's a place that's dear to me and it's a place where I'd love to end up. Who knows? Before you turn around I could be back here."
In the meantime, the team has nothing to look forward to. With only 32 points and a roster filled with no-names due to the cost-cutting, they long ago conceded the end of a playoff run that dated to the 1979-80 season.
On Monday night the team responded to the latest trade with an inspired 3-2 shootout
In the long term, the team believes, the Blues will be better for it. Most of the playoff appearances in professional sports' longest run were short and sweet, punctuating mediocre seasons.
They paid for it with lower draft picks, which kept them firmly stuck in the middle of the NHL. Their appearance in the 2001 Western Conference final was the first time since 1986 that they made it past the second round.
Among the bounty for Weight is the Hurricanes' first-round pick in this spring's Entry Draft, which will help the team rebuild from

the ashes.
victory over the Calgary Flames. Big games from the likes of Lee Stempniak and Jay McClement, two of the minor leaguers they called up to replace the departed players, spelled the difference.
"This was a terrific win," coach Mike Kitchen said. "To go through what we've gone through, the guys really pulled together."
"Sometimes when you go 25 years making the playoffs, you're accepting mediocrity," general manager Larry Plaeu said. "If you look at anybody that's ever won the Stanley Cup in the last 15-20 years, they've gone through something like this before they got there. Our goal is still the same and we're taking some tough, tough steps right now."
More often, the team is simply outgunned. It's a situation that's testing the patience of the everloyal fan base who used to fill the Savvis Center on a nightly basis but now appears increasingly alienated. There were rows upon rows of empty seats at the Flames gane, the norm for this season, along with an inflated announced attendance of 13,310 based on tickets sold.
Players seem to understand it's the cold, hard business side of the game.
"That's part of it as you get older and unrestricted," Drake said. "No offense, I'd trade all of us, too."
Fans who showed up for Monday's loss to the Flames seemed to understand the tough love.
Pleau said fans would soon be rewarded.
"What I would tell them is stick with us," Pleau said. "This franchise is going to get healthy again.

After a slew of mediocre results last fall, the Kansas men's golf team is hoping to rebound as the spring season begins.
The Jayhawks placed sixth or worse in their final three tournaments of the fall after starting the season with a promising firstplace finish in the Kansas Invitational.
Kansas coach Ross Randall, in his 27th season at the University, said he believed his team had the potential to show improvement throughout the spring.
They face a challenging spring schedule leading up to the NCAA Regionals on May 18.
"I'm thinking this year the guys are going to start playing a little better as the season goes, and we'll peak at the right time, which is April and May." Ralland said.
Randall's optimism was based on the work his players had done to stay sharp during the winter months.
Many Jaawkh golfers spent winter break polishing their skills in warm locales such as Arizona

The unseasonably warm conditions of January had even allowed the players who stayed in Lawrence to get some practice in.

is believing that I deserve to be out there with the best players," Woodland said.
The team will tee off February 8th at the University of Hawai'i Hilo Intercollegiate Tournament in Waikoloa, Hawaii. Randall has already set his lineup for the event, choosing to start seniors Pete Krisnich, Luke Trammell and Jason Sigler alongside Woodland and redshirt freshman Zach Pederson.
Randall said he realized the importance of getting off to a good start against a strong field of
teams in Hawaii.
"It's good to be able to play against some really good teams right away and see how we compare to them," he said.
Woodland said the team seemed poised to overcome all obstacles and become a more competitive force in the Big 12 Conference.
"We're making strides to get off to a good start in this first tournament," he said. "The sky's the limit from there."

Short shorts.
You know, the ones with the stuff written across the back?
That's the first thing that came to my mind Friday afternoon as I was enjoying the beautiful weather with friends at a local outdoor establishment. I was dreaming of spring, a time when such weather will be commonplace. That led me, naturally, to my second thought: What will we be talking about come March with respect to KU athletics?
The thought was intriguing. There are a lot of issues to hash out in a lot of different sports at the University before we can know what we'll see. I decided I would take on the task of finding the five most pressing questions, and then I'd answer them.
Answer: This is a tough question right out of the gate. This is a different Kansas team than the team that played in Maui, Hawaii. Before making a run, the Jayhawks have to make the NCAA tournament. With an RPI hovering around 80 and with fewer than 40 days until Selection Sunday, the Jayhawks have some work to do. The true test will come Sunday when Oklahoma, fresh off a victory against rival Texas, steps into Allen Fieldhouse.
After my nap, of course.
Question #1: Will the men's basketball team jell completely in time for a tournament run?
Question #2: If the said tournament run does happen, how many of our freshmen will be back next year?
Answer: With the possible exception of guard Brandon Rush, it's safe to say that they will all return for their sophomore seasons.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2006BASEBALL
MATT WILSON
WILSON@KANSAN.COM
Forward Julian Wright has made big strides so far, but he still has a lot of wrinkles in his game that he needs to iron out. He is a raw talent that could use another year to mature. Guard Mario Chalmer has made the biggest improvements of any of the freshmen, but he is definitely a four-year player. He and sophomore guard Russell Robinson make up the toughest defensive backcourt in the Big 12. We're blessed to have them together for the next two years. Rush may be wise to make the jump because he has all the tools to do so. As for guard Micah Downs, I'm pretty sure he's not coming back.
Question #3: Can Kansas women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson and the Jayhawks pull it together in time to save their season?
Answer: Their confidence took a serious blow Saturday when they were waxed by Baylor, but they have a chance to bounce back tonight against Colorado. The 'Buffs beat the 'Hawks in the first meeting, and a triumph by Kansas might get the team back on track. With a 2-5 conference record, the Jayhawks probably need to win five or six of their last nine games to get to the Big Dance. With a tough road ahead (at No. 11 Oklahoma and two games against 5-2 Missouri), the chances appear very slim.

Hawaii trip all business
WONBY ALISSA BAUER

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
For the typical baseball fan, kicking back and watching an opening day game is a little piece of paradise, figuratively speaking.
For Kansas, however, that paradise is quite literal.
For the fourth consecutive year, the Jayhawks will fly to Hawaii to open their season against the University of Hawaii-Hilo Vulcans. Tonight's first pitch is set for 11 p.m.
"It's really an outstanding place to open the season." Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "It also helps prepare us for the next weekends against West Coast teams where we'll be outside everyday."
"I think we might have one day off, but it's going to be party enough just playing," freshman catcher Buck Afenir said.
Despite the tropical locale, Price said he had every intention of making it clear that the trip was strictly baseball.
Hilo, an independent Division I program, will kick off its 30th season tonight after a dismal 6-34 mark last year.
"Everybody thinks this is a glamorous place to go and it is—when you go in the summertime," Price said. "But it's all business, no doubt about that."
His players echoed that thought.
Much like the Jayhawks, the Vulcans will return nearly their entire set of infielders and outfielders. Kansas will only have to fill the catcher and left fielder

positions left vacant because of graduations.
When the two got together last season, the Jayhawks swept the series, outsourcing them 56-18 in the process.
Sophomore third baseman Erik Morrison said the team would use the trip as a learning experience.
"We don't look at Hawaii for us to go out and beat up on a team," Morrison said. "We go out and see what areas we need to go out and improve on to start the non-conference season, which is a lot tougher this year."
The Jayhawks will arrive in Hawaii a little weary. On top of the strain of an eight-hour flight, the Jayhawks were in classes at the beginning of the week and won't take off for Los Angeles until Tuesday night.
Price said his team was ready to go despite the travel schedule.
we've played as good as any team I've coached in the last 10 days," he said. "We're knocking the ball around as good as it can be done. We're ready to start seeing some different-colored jerseys, too."

After Baylor loss, Colorado game begins crucial stretch
Kansas Jayhawks (13-5, 2-5 Big 12)
Player to watch:
Junior guard Shaquina Mosley. After spending the first months of the season on the bench, she took the starting spot from freshman Ivana Catic on Saturday. Her athleticism allows her to play aggressively, and it is rare for a player to get an uncontested shot on her.
Handle the zone defense. When Kansas visited Colorado in January, the Buffaloes used a zone defense to shut down the Jayhawks' scoring attack. Since then, the Jayhawks have improved against zone defenses, but success will hinge on whether the KU guards can make three-pointers against the zone. That would allow senior forward Crystal Kemp more room to work inside.
With a 2-5 conference record, all five remaining home games become must-win situations to keep NCAA tournament hopes alive for Kansas. Kansas has played well at home this season, losing only once in Allen Fieldhouse to Texas A&M.
Season in review:
Key to victory:
Kansas lost to defending national champion, Baylor, 90-40 Saturday. It was the worst loss in the history of the program. Kemp was in foul trouble early and the guards struggled to make shots. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said she had told her players to have a short memory span and to put the loss behind them.

Losses no matter to Jayhawks

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITER
After four straight victories, back-to-back losses to Kansas State and Missouri appear to be forgotten for the Kansas men's basketball team.
The Jayhawks have their thoughts set on bigger things like winning the Big 12 Conference.
"From the get-go I thought we were going to be real good," freshman guard Brandon Rush said. "Everything would start to come along and it has, so we are proving people wrong. They said we were going to get killed in Big 12 play and what are we, third? Second. That's good."
The jayhawks are tied for second place in the Big 12 Conference and are only a half game back of Texas.
The Big 12 Championship, which seemed like an extreme thought two weeks ago, is now in plain sight.
"I think the appearance was from our stand point a week and a half ago or two weeks ago, that we might lose contact with the leaders, particularly Texas," Kansas coach Bill self said.
Kansas has also won 10 of its last 12 games.
Self said even though the team has improved, it still didn't fully
"Everyone is just stepping up every game and getting a team effort points-wise, rebounding-wise and assists-wise," sophomore guard Russell Robinson said.
understand the importance of every possession on the offensive side of the ball. He said it's been an extremely fun team to be around lately.
"That is one of our goals, is to win the Big 12 and we just try to take it one game at a time, prepare for each game, and I think we have done a good job of that so far." Robinson said.
Kansas has nine remaining games — five in Allen Fieldhouse and four on the road. This weekend's game against Oklahoma will be important for the conference standings. The Sooners are 4-2 in conference play and have won four straight, including an 82-72 victory against conference-leading Texas last weekend. Kansas also will play Texas in Austin in a few weeks, which could decide how the top of the Big 12 shapes up.
If it weren't for Oklahoma beating Texas, Kansas would be further back in the conference race. Robinson said he watched the Oklahoma-Texas game Saturday night.
"I kind of wanted them to win, to kind of make the game on Sunday more interesting," Robinson said.
Self said the chances of winning the Big 12 and keeping up in the conference standings depended on the outcome on Sunday against Oklahoma.
"A win on Sunday would certainly enhance ours because I don't think Texas is going to lose very many games," Self said.

Ronald Johnson, Anschutz Library custodian, works the night shift on Tuesday. The beginning of the semester offers a lighter work load for Johnson with fewer students studying at the library.
\astodian's seen it all
BY MIKE MOSTAFFA
mmostaffa@kansan.com
KANHS STAFF WRITER
In Ron Johnson's 19 years as a custodial specialist, he has seen students use elevators as restrooms, set fire to his trash cans and leave cow droppings as gifts.
But the occasional student shenanigan does not bother Johnson. Every Sunday through Thursday at 10:30 p.m. Johnson walks into Anschutz Library with a friendly smile, ready to tidy up the carriage left behind by thousands of studying students.
"I just come in every night and do my thing," he said.
Johnson has worked at Anschutz Library for the last five years but has worked in numerous buildings on campus. The list of buildings in which Johnson has worked includes Budig Hall, Malott Hall, Robinson Center and
Wescoe Hall, or at least he thinks.
"When you've been around as long as I have, you tend to forget where you have been and how long you were there." Johnson joked.
When asked about the more unusual messes left at the library, even Johnson couldn't help grinning while recalling some of the more bizarre incidents.
One night Johnson was going about his work when he found a fresh, large cow chip neatly placed on top of a newspaper in the rear wing of the library. Another memorable event was the time he had to clean urine stains from an Anschutz elevator.
Johnson also had to assume the role of a fireman one night in Mallow Hall when a student made the mistake of putting metabolic sodium in a trash can, which caused the can's contents to catch fire.

Mangino secures highly rated class
BY DREW DAVISON
ddavison@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIER
His older brother, Noah, is on the football team at Kansas State. The coach who recruited him to Kansas recently left for Wisconsin. Neither of those factors deterred Phillip Strozier from signing his letter of intent to play football for the Jayhawks.
Yesterday, football coach Mark Mangino announced the signing of 21 high school football players —11 on offense and 10 on defense. ESPN.com has this recruiting class ranked No. 36 in the country, the best since Mangino arrived in Lawrence.
Strozier, a defensive back out of Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Mo., and a rivals.com three-star recruit, said he felt most comfortable at Kansas.
"It's close to home and the program is on the rise. It's also a great academic school," he said.
Strozier said he felt no pressure to sign with Kansas State even though his brother was in the program.
"He said he wanted it to be my decision," Strozier said.
When former Kansas recruiting coordinator Dave Doeren left for Wisconsin during break, Strozier was still set on Kansas.
"Coach Doeren called me and explained the situation. I wish him the best of luck," Strozier said.
Mangino said after Strozier committed, there was no wavering on his part.
Strozier's high school teammate, linebacker Sal Capra, also inked his name with the Jayhawks. Capra has been compared to 2005 starter Kevin Kane, who also played at Rockhurst. Mangino said Capra was bigger than Kane coming out of high school.
Mangino said he had always respected Rockhurst for developing quality football players. At Oklahoma, Mangino recruited Brandon Shelby, who was a running back and defensive back at Rockhurst and became a valuable nickel back for the Sooners.
With three graduating cornerbacks, Mangino said Storzel and fellow signee Anthony Webb would have an opportunity to start next season.
"Nobody has a job penciled in stone opposite Aqib Talib," Mangino said.
The recruiting class stretches all across the country, with nine recruits from Texas, three from Kansas, three from Oklahoma, two from Missouri, two from Florida, one from Colorado and one from California.

Mangino said that the team was thin at quarterback and that recruit Todd Reesing, who was currently enrolled at Kansas, would get snaps during spring drills.
Mangino said Reesing was similar to former Jayhawk quarterback Bill Whittemore with his ability to find passing lanes despite his height of 5 feet 11 inches.
Another player who will add depth at quarterback is Tyler Lawrence, a quarterback from Shawnee Mission West High School in Overland Park. Mangino said Lawrence "tore it up" in summer camp and was from right in Kansas' backyard. That will make him a familiar face next fall for some students.
Brady Ingalls, Shawnee junior, said he remembered playing with Lawrence during his senior year, when Lawrence was a freshman.
"Everyone called him 'Sunshine' because he had 'hippy' long hair and he was a left," Ingalls said. Ingalls said the nickname was in reference to the quarterback in the film "Remember the Titans" and that Lawrence was not the biggest fan of the nickname his teammates gave him.
Another notable recruit was running back Jake Sharp from Salina Central in Salina. Mangino said Sharp's first step would be as a special teams contributor.
"He is speedy and quick. He is also a hard-nosed, tough kid." Mangino said.

Naismith Hall dismissed its lax alcohol policy and enforced new regulations to prevent unlawful drinking.
At a mandatory residence hall meeting on Jan. 25, a representative from the property owner, AIMCO University Communities, told students that no open drinks would be allowed after 10 p.m.
Undercover officers from the Alcoholic Beverage Control would also be allowed on the property to give Breatha-
lyzer tests at any given time.
Kimmy Lear, Minneapolis, Minn., freshman and Naismith resident, said the meeting addressed complaints from students that provoked the administration to buckle down.
A "red cup policy" has been the traditional standard for the hall, in which students could drink an open beverage at any time as long as alcoholic beverages were not visible or identifiable.

Senate needs to fill eight positions
STUDENT SENATE
BY NICOLLE KELLEY

NKANLEY STAFF WRITTEN
An incomplete Student Senate held its first meeting of the semester last night with eight senator positions still needing to be filled.
During the meeting, five names of the current senators were drawn out of a cup to form the committee that will interview the 17 students who applied for the open spots.
"As a senate we want to make sure every student is represented and has a voice so we want to make sure every seat is filled," said Shane
The following seats are open: two junior/senior College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senators, two social welfare senators, one freshman/sophomore College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, one off-campus student senator, one business student senator and one graduate student senator.

chosen in time to attend the next full meeting in two weeks.
He said the previous senators left Student Senate for a variety of reasons, including internships in other cities and being too busy to fulfill the job requirements.
Adam Hurly, Sioux Falls, S.D., freshman and member of the committee that will interview applicants, said the people who filled the positions should be able to take a proactive stance and understand that there was more to the job than just attending regular meetings.
He said they needed to be willing to write bills, visit meetings of different campus organizations and, most importantly, be open and available to the students of the University.
Hannah Love, Dodge City sophomore and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Senator, said the seat should be filled by "someone that can use the position in a productive manner."

Tuition law contested
GARANCE BURKE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
—Edited by Meghan Miller
TOPEKA — Students, teachers and immigration lawyers testified Wednesday before a House committee about a bill that would repeal a state law that gives some undocumented immigrants a tuition break at state universities.
The 2004 law allows undocumented immigrants to qualify for in-state tuition if they attended a Kansas high school for at least three years and graduated or earned a General Educational Development certificate in Kansas.
They must also be seeking legal immigration status.
Opponents of the bill to repeal the law say forcing immigrant students to pay higher tuition would put college out of reach for some of the state's brightest students.
"Students that work hard ought to be given every opportunity," said Reggie Robinson, president of the Kansas Board of Regents, who testified against the bill. "This law is about giving talented graduates from our Kansas high schools an opportunity to contribute to the state
and its economy."
and advisers economist.
The bill's supporters said offering in-state tuition to people who have violated federal immigration laws will lure more illegal immigrants to Kansas.
"This issue has major repercussions for how we deal with illegal immigrants," said Rep. Becky Hutchins, R-Holton, who introduced the bill.
"What's going to be next?" she added. "Are we going to give out drivers licenses?"
Cindy Perez, 18, said she was able to study international law and business at Pittsburg State University only because her family could afford to send her to school at the discounted rate.
"It's kind of upsetting," said Perez, who grew up in Olathe, but whose family is from Chihuahua, Mexico. "I'm just barely in the door, and suddenly they're going to slam it in my face."
As the hearing veered into discussions about federal immigration policy and the changing racial composition of Kansas towns, legislators said they wanted to help immigrants but don't want to encourage people to come to Kansas illegally.

After losing six of the its first eight Big 12 conference games, including a 50-point loss to Baylor, how do you think the KU women's basketball team (13-6, 2-6) will finish this season?
1. In the NCAA tournament. The hardest part of the Big 12 schedule is behind them. It will end up with a winning conference record and an NCAA berth.
2. In the NIT. The victory against Texas was nice, but the team will struggle to win half of its remaining games and be happy to play in the NIT.
3. No postseason at all. The 12-0 start was a product of good fortune and easy scheduling. The Lady Jayhawks will be lucky to win two or three more games against a superior Big 12 conference.

Chi Omega helps girl get to Disney World
Catherine Odson
Four-year-old Rainy Cook visited Walt Disney World this week, thanks partly to funds raised by the University of Kansas chapter of Chi Omega for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The chapter raised more than $5,000 in September to pay for the trip.
"We just got an e-mail from her mom saying they're at Disney World right now," Mallory Hammersmith, Chi Omega president said. Hammersmith said the members were looking forward to seeing pictures when her family returns.
Cook is expected to visit the house after her trip, but Hammer-smith said it would be dependent on Cook's health.
Cook has a cyst on her brain stem that was too big to remove, said Jessica Elkouri, fall philanthropy chairwoman for Chi Omega. Because of the cyst, Cook experiences between eight and 20 seizures every day, Elkouri said.
Elkouri said raising the money for Cook's trip was a wonderful experience for everyone involved.
"Both our house and Rainy benefitted," she said.
Chi Omega has raised more than $10,000 in the past two years for Make-A-Wish. In 2004, the chapter sponsored 8-year-old Elora's trip to Walt Disney World.
"We look forward to doing it each and every year," Elkouri said.

Besides the name, the company also unveiled the new logo, an arrow-like symbol in three shades of green.

Orin Wagner/The Associated Press The Rev. Fred Phelps prepares to protest outside the Kansas Statehouse in Topeka Wednesday. Phelps addressed the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee after the protest. A senate bill would restrict protests at furnerals.
ACTIVISM
Phelps denounces proposed bill
GOD IS AMERICA'S TERRORIST

CARL MANNING THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"We can't be lawfully moved out of sight of our target audience," Phelps said Wednesday to the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee. "You have no legitimate public interest here."
In recent months, Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church members have pickedet funerals of soldiers around the nation, often with placards stating "Thank God for IEDs," and "God Hates America."
TOPEKA — Brandy Sacco fidgeted and fought back tears as the Rev. Fred Phelps Sr. told senators why he and his followers have a legal right to picket funerals of slain soldiers, such as her husband.
Phelps and his church contend U.S. troops are being killed in Iraq as vengeance from God for protecting a country that harbors homosexuals.
"The bill is invidiously discriminatory against only our religious message, violates only our First Amendment rights, and appears to be the product of passion, prejudice and pandering — targeting only our church," Phelps said.
The proposed bill says nobody can picket or have a protest march within 300 feet of any entrance to where a funeral service is being conducted one hour before, during or two hours after the service. The committee heard from nearly a dozen witnesses but took no action on the measure.
The current law says only that it is illegal to picket "before or about" a funeral service. Phelps said that has been "authoritatively construed" in Topeka to be 90 feet. Supporters of the bill say the law is too vague and a specific distance is needed.
Similar legislation is being considered in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and West Virginia, all prompted by Phelps' funeral protests.
As he talked, Sacco listened, at times shaking her head in disbelief as her husband's wedding ring hung from a neck chain. Earlier, she shared her views about Phelps' group after her husband, Sgt. Dominic Sacco, 32, was killed in November.
"They choose to abuse these rights by harassment of a grieving wife and family. Such a lack of common decency should not be protected by law but punishable by the law," she said, her voice at times choking.
He also characterized a military funeral as "a patriotic pep rally and recruiting depot for the military."
"The hardest thing I ever had to do in my life was to listen to their nonsense," Sacco told reporters after the hearing.
As for Phelps saying he was sharing his religious views, she said, "I didn't ask him to share his God with me because we obviously don't have the same God." Shortly after her husband was killed she received phone calls saying he "would burn in hell," she said. The calls stopped after she filed a complaint with police, she said.
Also backing the bill was Rep. Lee Tafanelli, who spent last year in Iraq as a lieutenant colonel in charge of a Kansas National Guard battalion that had two soldiers killed by enemy fire.
Forms bill provides full opportunity for anyone to exercise their freedom of speech and their other constitutional duties," said Tafanelli, R-Ozawkie. "But more importantly, this bill gives a family the right to some privacy during their darkest hour, to grieve, honor and pay their respects to their loved on. This is a right they have earned and that they deserve."

Johnson is quick to pause from his duties to tell a joke or share a story, but he takes pride in his work.
Greg Albrecht, circulation supervisor of Anschutz Library, has worked with Johnson for nearly two years and said that he has an amazing work ethic and that he genuinely cares about his duties. It is Johnson's thoughtfulness, however, that makes him such a great person to work with, he said.
Albrecht recalled one night
When Johnson's not working at Anschutz he can often be found fishing for crappie off the marina at Clinton Lake. After work he likes to take in a classic Western movie while enjoying a six-ounce glass of dry, red wine.
Johnson accidentally threw a student's pair of reading glasses that were hidden by newspapers in the trash. Later that night Johnson went inside the dumpster outside of Anschutz and went through every trash bag until he finally found the glasses.

LAW
Patriot Act under review
LAURIE KELLMAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The House on Wednesday agreed to extend the USA Patriot Act for a month while conservative Republicans and the White House work out changes intended to protect people from government intrusion.
The Senate was expected to follow before the law expires on Friday.
Just before leaving for Christmas, Congress extended the law until Feb. 3. Senate Democrats and four Republicans had blocked a final vote on a measure that would have made permanent most expiring provisions. The Republics were concerned about excessive police powers.
"It is imperative that we not play political games with the tools that our law enforcement needs to prevent another terrorist attack," said the chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee, Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis.
Objections centered on the degree to which people and institutions that receive National Security Letters — secret requests for phone, business and Internet records — can appeal them in court.
At issue are 16 provisions that Congress wanted reviewed and renewed by the end of last year.
House Democrats said they did not want the act to expire but are pressing for civil rights protections before renewing it permanently.
"We must extend it, mend it, but not end it," said Rep. Jane Harmon, top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee:
Originally passed five weeks after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the act was due to expire Dec. 31.
President Bush in his State of the Union speech Tuesday called on Congress to renew the expiring 16 provisions.
COMMUNICATION
Western Union puts 'stop' to telegrams
P. SOLOMON BANDA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — For more than 150 years, messages of joy, sorrow and success came in signature yellow envelopes hand delivered by a courier. Now the Western Union telegram is officially a thing of the past.
The company formed in April 1856 to exploit the hot technology of the telegraph to send cross-country messages in less than a day. The final telegram was delivered on Friday. Telegrams reached their peak popularity in the 1920s and 1930s when it was cheaper to send a telegram than to place a long distance telephone call. People would save money by using the word "stop" instead of periods to end sentences. Punctuation was extra while "stop" was free.
Samuel Morse, inventor of the Morse Code, sent the first telegram from Washington to Baltimore on May 26, 1844, to his partner Alfred Vail to usher in the telegram era that displaced the Pony Express. It read "WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT?"

Provost candidate shares her views
The editorial board plans to interview each candidate for provost as they are announced during the next few weeks. On Monday, Jason Shaad, opinion editor, Josh Bickel, managing editor and Ty Beaver, editorial writer, conducted a phone interview with provost candidate, Virginia Sapiro, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on several issues. The following are the questions and her selected answers.
O: What about the University appeals to you?
PETER H. WILSON
Q: What about the University appears to you?
A: It's a kind of university that I know well and admire and that is a very top-level institution that's devoted to both teaching and research. I've heard great things from people who are alumni. I have colleagues here who went to KU and ever since I visited, they haven't stopped talking about it, and I've heard the area is really beautiful. I found all of that when I was there.
Virginia Sapiro
A: The first thing is to recruit the best students we can. The next thing is to make sure that, from the very beginning, from the first point at which students say 'Yes, I'm going to KU,' that we give the kind of support and advice and help that's necessary for students to be as successful as possible. I'd be really interested in going further with Living Learning Communities, which I know you've begun to do, and of doing the kind of programming that really integrates student life and academics. The other thing is to make sure along the way that we are watching out for students that are at vulnerable periods in their lives, who are having a little bit of trouble. Not waiting for students to come to faculty and advisors, but finding ways of making sure faculty and staff are very much in touch with students and can be there to help when the students need help is another thing. One other thing is that there are adequate financial aid all the way through, because one reason that students don't complete in four years or don't complete at all can be financial difficulties they are facing. So, we always have to be keeping an eye on financial issues for students.
Q: How would you approach the University's four-year graduation rate?
Q: What is your stance concerning alcohol on campus, for example, at the Iawbow in the Union?
A: I'd have to learn more about the policy that is there. I can't support anything that would allow underage drinking on public property and at the University. I think what's much more important than that is making sure there is very good education about alcohol and its effects. The real problem we face at many institutions today, including the one I'm at, is that there are too many students engaging in high-risk behavior and that includes not just alcohol, but a whole range of other activities. That would very much be my main focus, trying to figure out how to reduce the amount of high risk behavior students engage in.
Q: How do you feel about making end-of-term teacher evaluations available to the public?
A: The problems I have with making them public - I'm not necessarily opposed to them - but let me share some of the problems there are. First of all, different professors teach the same courses over time. One thing that happens on campuses, like my own where they're made public, is students will look and see course evaluations for a particular course and not really connect with the fact that that person is not teaching the course anymore or that person teaches every other year. They don't actually have the evaluations of the instructor teaching the course. Another issue that a problem is for especially our youngest, most junior faculty. There's a time when they're really learning their craft and it's like any other kind of job where you need help in learning how to get better. What happens on campuses where these are publicly posted is that students start shying away from those particular professors and they're really not given an opportunity to grow and get better. There's also some research that suggests that in anonymous course evaluations, where people aren't held accountable for what they say about other people, that there can be some racism and sexism and some of those. What I'd rather do is find really good ways of working with students and student organizations to make sure teaching keeps improving and that we find out which departments and which faculty need to shape up some more.
Q: What do you want to do to fulfill Chancellor Robert Hemenway's vision of KU as a top 25 university?
A: The first thing you have to do is break down what does that mean. When people say top 25 or top 10 or top million, what does that mean? And usually what people focus on is the number of graduate and Ph.D. programs that are individually ranked in the top 25, so it means holding up the research capability at the institution, the support for research and the quality of the faculty. It also means looking at each and every graduate program to find out whether it is really high quality, how does it compare to others and what is the very special area in each program that KU in particular can bring, so people in that field say, KU just has the greatest this kind of program or that kind of program.
For me, what it means is some of the kind of things you started to talk about earlier. To what degree do we have a great student body that graduates in a good period of time? To what degree is KU a place that has not only really good scholar teachers as professors, but also has other kinds of co-curricular activities and living learning activities that make it the kind of place that make it a great education? To foster the reputation, I'd also want to be looking again at what can we do to improve the whole educational program, to make sure that there are great co-curricular activities and that when alumni turn around and look back at their college years they say "I am so glad I went there."
Q: What is your snow day policy? We know it snows a lot up in Wisconsin and we don't get many snow days here when it does snow.
A: On snow days, if at all possible, I like to get my snow suit on and go out and make a snow person. I'm also pretty good at snow angels, and I promise if I'm there I will do a snowangel in the snow on campus.

To create their new Internet, companies will tag information to define at what speed it should travel.

This concept states that information on the Internet should transfer as quickly as possible without regard to content. Congress is now debating whether to make network neutrality the law or do
P2P networks soak up hundreds of gigabytes of bandwidth with no one to bill. That is, no one except the users. Either P2P networks will be slowed to a point of being worthless or customers will have to pony up extra dollars based on how much bandwidth they use.

"Why should they be allowed to use my pipes," asked Whitacre. "The Internet can't be free in that sense, because we and the cable companies have made an investment and for a Google or Yahoo or Vonage or anybody to expect to use these pipes [for] free is nuts!"
SBC CEO Edward Whitacre, in a Business Week interview, said that he wants to be able to charge companies like Google or Yahoo for sending information over his company's network.
Never mind that data on the Internet is already paid for twice; once by the sender and once by the receiver. Network operators
wants it paid for 3,4 or 10 times over if possible.
In a letter to Congress, Vinton Cerf, a Google vice president, warned that current legislation "would do great damage to the Internet as we know it."
"Telephone companies cannot tell consumers who they can call; network operators should not dictate what people can do online."
Network operators could effectively hold the Internet hostage by determining who gets to run the fastest. How much would Google, Yahoo or MSN pay to be the fastest search engine?

away with it and allow the new tiered Internet to develop.
In Congress abolishes network neutrality, they hand network operators the legal power to define how data moves through the Internet. These companies would have the power to control other companies' services, determine how fast we can download data, and potentially what we can download at all. But they sincerely promise not to abuse that power. Not even when tens of billions of dollars in revenue is at stake. Nope, scout's honor, they swear to play nice.

Professor's passing stirs hope, memories
Sitting down for a late afternoon lunch in the Union I picked up a left-behind copy of The University Daily Kansan in hopes of catching up on
the campus news. Following a couple page turns I was shocked and saddened by the articles of those connected to the University who had passed away during the course of winter break.

semester wanting the privilege of meeting him outside of lecture in hopes of using him as a great resource for psychological knowledge and life in general. Rick responded that he was unable to meet with me at that time because of the worsening health conditions of his father and father-in-law.
To learn that Rick himself was recently diagnosed with cancer and lost the battle leaves me feeling quite lost, but at the same time, still in a mind-set of hopefulness. The primary area of his research was hope and he exemplified that better than anyone I had ever seen. He once demonstrated hope on "Good Morning America" for all television viewers to appreciate. Luckily though, I got to experience this hope firsthand right in the classroom and, as a result, feel forever sure that you can get there from here.

I was struck most by the news of Rick Snyder's death. The distinguished professor of psychology was, hands down, one of the best teachers I had ever had the

privilege of learning from. I ended up adding his class "Individual Differences" last semester after having dropped what appeared to be a not-so-thrilling psychology course. Adding his class was the best thing I could have done. Little did I know how much hope he would instill in me.
Rick's class was an unusual one: It was one that students actually wanted to attend. The Wescoe auditorium was holding warm bodies in nearly every seat each Tuesday and Thursday. He did not take attendance because he didn't have to. People simply wanted to come. His lectures were engaging and quite amusing, from his display of chewing on a girl's notes to putting on lip balm. He did what he had to do and more to make a point.
I wrote Snyder an e-mail last
I was always amazed at his ability to pull me into his realm by beginning each day with a simple:
"Welcome to Individual Differences day #___." The end of each
lecture was just as touching. He would wrap up with some grand finale, bring some life lesson in at the last minute and then send you out of the classroom and back into the world. Once, at the end of class, he had a student take his all powerful microphone and dismiss the class for the day. Another time he displayed his favorite childhood book, "Tootles the Train," and even once told us how all graduating students walking down the hill were bottles of Dr. Pepper to him. There was an imaginative story or an anew inspiring hopeful message from the start of class all the way to the end.

So tell me more about these free pie and chips.
Who are you talking to?
I'm talking business with the Café Gochio.
Leo, for the past half hour you've been talking to a jar of olives.
Lay off the TV a bit.
Don't give me that smirk! I'm on to you!

Tomorrow I'm getting feet injections.
They will be size seventeen.
But why?
Because foot size is a measure of manhood.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) *****
You can embrace many different thoughts and activities. You are the Twinn, the sign that is known for being able to do two things at once. Don't hold back. You could end the day feeling as if you have broken through a personal barrier.
ARIFS (March 21-April 19) ******
You have the bounce to make the most of every moment. You will feel your Wheatles no matter where you are or what you want. Friendship plays a major role in the unfurling of today's events.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★
You might be unusually mellow. Others could try to roast you out of the do-
drums. You might want to think in terms of your own well-being. Take a personal day if you need to. Visit a favorite spot.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ***
You might want to defer to someone who is in charge rather than carry the weight of a decision. Still, you need to trust yourself to accomplish this deferral. Listen to feedback from a partner. You will want someone's kudos.
HOROSCOPES
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ******
Take an overview and detach. Read between the lines with suggestions.
Sometimes you need to bend some for others. If you do, everything in your life will flow more easily. You can be a stubborn sign, you know.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) *****Work with individuals. You could be dealing with heavier-than-normal issues. Be sensitive in your word choice. Expressing your nurturing could make or break a situation. Check out a far-out diet or health program.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) *****
Others run with the ball. You might want to put a halt to it, but it won't make any difference. You might be best off plunging into what is going on. You will enjoy yourself if you let go and relax.
JOUNPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ****
You might want to talk calmly to a problem. Add that touch of thoughtfulness and magnetism. You might want to think positively about a daily matter you decide to deal with.
Talk about a home office.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) *****
Your energy needs to be plugged in it counts. You need to be more spontaneous and clear. Working with a child or new friend could add to your satisfaction. A money risk could work. Just don't involve more money than you can risk.
CAPHICORIN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) *****
You might not want to discuss everything that is on your mind. Still, you can say a lot more if you relax. You might be delighted by the outcome or change that occurs. Use your innate sense of diplomacy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ******
Your words hit someone where it counts.
You are finally heard. Evoke more gentleness in your communication, and you will get an even better reaction. Ease up and relax more with those around you.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2006
PIGCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ***
Your instincts help you make the right decision. You might be surprised at what happens if you relax more and flow naturally. Listen to a friend who has only your well-being in mind. This friendship could be very special.

Here come the Sooners
For the first time this season, a game in Allen Fieldhouse will be the kind that students can brag to their friends back home about having the chance to go see.
I don't count the Kentucky game because of the timing. This is one that will happen during the heart of the semester. It's the kind of game that many players on this roster, consisting mainly of freshmen and sophomores, would say brought them to Kansas.
After four consecutive victories, three of which can be described as impressive, this young team feels the best it has all season, a feeling that parallels that of the fans. Camping began almost as soon as the final buzzer signaled the end of Monday's 86-52 rout of Texas Tech.

The only disappointing thing is, that from a national perspective, this potential battle for the Big 12 Championship will be played on the same day as the most important sporting event in the entire world. Therefore, assuming no player scores 81 points (or even if they do, they might have to also break the backboard and deliver a baby too), it will likely fly under the radar below the Super Bowl.
takes this team to Oklahoma will bring its physical Big Ten-like style into Lawrence, led by big men Taj Gray and Kevin Bookout, the latter of whom seems to have been there since the Kansas/Oklahoma National Championship in 1988.
This will be the first real test for this new starting lineup of Julian Wright, Sasha Kaun, Mario Chalmers, Russell Robinson and Brandon Rush. It very well may be the lineup that takes this team into March.
Regardless, after this game,
neither team's fans should fly off
the handle, win or lose. This season's Kansas team's adaptation to big-time college basketball is progressing just nicely. But it's not just me. The players, who are beginning to mirror their coach in demeanor, would be the first to admit to not getting too high or too low. They know there is a long way to go and all signs point to them being ready when the spotlight shines.
Instead, fans should be excited and appreciate the caliber of game that they will be treated to on Sunday. It will a great litmus test to see how far the team has left to go. Play well before a presumably big audience, and perhaps they will finally crack that all-elusive Top 25. Perhaps Brandon Rush can make a run at another SportsCenter Top 10 on the same day as the Super Bowl. Perhaps the fans can turn Allen Fieldhouse back into the place that many teams feared visiting just a few years ago. Perhaps it will live up to its showdown status.

feet 11 inches, he was passed up by most schools. Mangino loved his talent and dismissed the notion that he wouldn't be able to throw the ball over linemen at the college level. Mangino went so far as to compare his skill set to that of former Jayhawk, Bill Whittemore. And if his numbers on the field weren't impressive enough, he had a 4.5 weighted grade point average in high school and Mangino said he was enrolled in the Honors Program at Kansas.
Now, this isn't basketball. These 21 recruits aren't going to make an immediate impact for the Jayhawks next year. It's reasonable to believe that next year, the Jayhawks won't match their seven-win campaign from this season.
With no set starting quarterback, a downgraded defense and an improved Big 12 North division, five or six victories could be considered a success.

Escalera and senior Whitney Law, found open shots all night, especially in the first half. Escalera and Law lit up Kansas for 11 and 14 points, respectively, in the first 20 minutes.
Colorado's back court duo was able to get open shots off of miscommunication from Kansas defenders trying to get around Colorado screens. This enabled Colorado guards to slash through the lane or take open jump shots.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said the open shots in transition and the play of Colorado's Jackie McFarland in the paint were the key points in her team's defensive breakdown.
"Obviously to me, it looks like a lack of commitment and pride on that end of the floor," Henrickson said.
The Jayhawks had no answer for McFarland in the paint. She had 16 points, beating off a single defender deep in the pain on numerous occasions. Her presence forced Jayhawk defenders nearly under the basket, leading to easy layups.
Hallman said the Jayhawks knew the answer to getting back to their winning ways earlier in the season when the team started a school-best 12-0.
"We've got to find a way to get started back on the right way," Hallman said. "It's going to have to start defensively."

Freshman rising fast

Ksenia Bukina has a perfect 3-0 record, is ranked 14th in the central region and 79th nationally by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association and was the only Jayhawk to notch a victory against a ranked opponent last fall.
The Obninsk, Russia, native has the tennis resume of a veteran — but she's only a freshman.
Freshman Ksenia Bukina battles a Drake University opponent on Jan. 28 in Topeka. Bukina is ranked 14th in the central region.
Bukina said the main reason she came to Kansas to play tennis was that her hometown friend of 10 years, sophomore Elzaveta Avdeyea, played for Kansas as well.
Bulkin's shy personality has not translated onto the tennis courts.
In her three victories this season, Bulkina has lost only one set. Indiana's Sarah Batty, who is ranked 98th by the ITA, was the only opponent to knock off Bulkina in a set.
Bukina achieved her ranking because of her performance last fall. She was 7-6 in singles matches. Bukina said she was excited when she first heard of the ranking.
Bukina said there were noticeable differences between playing tennis in the United States as opposed to Russia.
"Here I can get an education and practice a lot, and in Russia, if you come to the university, you study — no sports," Bulkina said. "It is difficult in Russia to do sports and education."
The new ITA ranking comes out on Feb. 7.
Kansas coach, Amy Hall-Holt said she wanted Bulina to move up even further in the ITA ranking.
"I am definitely very pleased and very happy for her, and we worked hard on getting her where she is" Hall-Holt said. "She has worked hard as well putting in the extra effort."
Kansas plays Utah on Feb. 4 in Salt Lake City. They will not play a match at home again until March 26 when they face Texas Tech.

"All I can say is that he is a full-time matriculated student," Pierce said.
Downs left Kansas citing personal reasons, and headed back to his home of Seattle. He did not inform his teammates of his decision. Spokane is four hours from Downs' hometown.
WANTED: BABYSITTER
Downs averaged 4.3 points per game in 13 games with the Jayhawks this season.
All of Gonzaga's scholarships are currently filled, meaning Downs would likely walk on to the team with the possibility of becoming a scholarship player next season.

Recruits give Mangino, fans reason to smile
Per the usual for any collegiate football coach, Mark Mangino was all smiles Wednesday as he talked about his 2006 recruiting class.
iked about his 2005 book.
But this year, he has reason to be smiling.
But this year, he has reason in a year that will see Kansas lose its entire starting linebacking corps (Banks Floodman, Nick Reid, Kevin Kane), both starting quarterbacks who were worth a spit (Jason Swanson and Brian Luke) and half of the starting secondary (Theo Baines and Charles Gordon) to graduation and the NFL draft, anyone can see that the Jayhawks have a lot of holes to fill. Next year might be one of those dreaded "rebuilding" seasons.
But with this recruiting class, Mangino and his staff have brought in players who can plug those holes.
Granted, the evaluation of players in high school can only go so far in knowing how well they will play in the Big 12 Conference, and Mangino would admit that. But there's lot of room for optimism with this class, which ESPN.com ranked as No.36 in the nation.
That ranking qualifies Kansas for the middle of the gridiron in terms of Big 12 recruitment rankings, but it does rank higher than quite a few notables: Louisville (41st), N.C. State (45th) and West Virginia (48th) are consistent mainstays of Top 25 polls during the season. Of course, the most delicious of the recruiting rankings for Kansas fans are Missouri (52nd) and Kansas State (60th).
are Missouh (SO2H) and Kemerlea Here's a quick glance at a few of standouts in Kansas' class:
Ian Wolfe. At 6 feet 6 inches, 270 pounds, the offensive tackle may need to put on a bit more weight, but he's a smart football player with great speed and agility. ESPN has him ranked No. 14 in the nation at his position. He chose the Jayhawks against Big 10 power Wisconsin.

and skins were catches.
Todd Reesing. Allready enrolled at Kansas for the spring semester, this quarterback may be the most intriguing prospect in the class. As a junior, he was the Associated Press Texas State 4A Offensive Player of the Year, beating out Matthew Stafford, whom *Rivals.com* ranked as the No. 1 quarterback in the nation. In his high school career, he passed for 6,500 yards and an insane 70 touchdowns with only 13 interceptions. But at 5

Anthony Webb. As a 6-foot-1-inch safety, he's tall for his position. With a 4.5 in the 40-yard dash, Mangino raved about his quick feet and ability to change direction. That speed will be welcome in a depleted secondary, where Mangino said Webb would have the opportunity to compete for a starting job. Rivals.com gave him a four-star rating and ranked him No. 23 in the nation at his position. His high school coach said his instinct and skills were "cat-like."

Buffs slow Jayhawks' road to tournament

A game that was supposed to snap Kansas out of a losing streak, instead turned into a 77-71 Colorado victory and left Kansas' three seniors looking for answers.
"This is our road to the NCAA tournament and we can't lose games like this," senior guard Kaylee Brown said.
After starting with a 13-0 record and a victory against nationally ranked Texas, Kansas has deflated, winning just one of its last seven games. The Jayhawks are now 13-6 and 2-6 in the Big 12 Conference.

The home loss damages Kansas' hopes of playing in the NCAA tournament. The team will now have to win twice on the road to finish with an 8-8 conference record, which was last year's standard for making the tournament.

Bunge excited about season
BY JONATHAN ANDERSON
janderson@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
When the Kansas softball team was picked to finish seventh in the Big 12 standings, coach Tracy Bunge knew the team had to improve.
"We are disappointed by our rankings," she said.
The team finished last season with a 31-24 record, including a 9-8 conference mark. Bunge said the team will rely on experience to improve its record.
"We have a lot of returning players on the infield," Bunge said. Eight letter winners from last season will return, seven of whom are starters. The perks of having a veteran roster would be knowing who was coming back and what identity the team would play with. Part of that identity will include a team that posted a school-record 973 fielding percentage last season.
Much of the leadership will be trusted in shortstop Destiny Frankenstein, infielder Jessica Moppin, outfielder Heather Stanley and pitcher Serena Settleier, all of whom are seniors.
"Defense wins championships," Bunge said. "Defense should be a mainstay for this team. Between our defense and our pitching staff, we feel pretty good about what we are doing going into the season."
Bunge was optimistic both about the thunder that she thought would come from the bats of the lineup and about the team's ability to put the ball in play. That ability, paired with team experience, could allow the Jayhawks to reach their goal of playing near the top of the standings, she said.
"We want to go further than we did last year and compete in the top half of the Big 12," Bunge said. "We think we can make some noise and surprise some people."
KU will kick off the season Feb. 10 against Florida at the Wilson/DiMarini Tournament in Houston, Texas.

Rotation set for now
BY DANIEL BERK

KANSAN SPORT SWIMMER
In the last four games, Kansas has twice scored in the 80s and twice in the 90s. The Jayhawks have been running more and creating more fast break opportunities against their opponents.
After scoring 65 points against Kansas State, the Jayhawks have stepped up on offense, scoring over 80 points in each of the last five games.
It is all finally coming together for the lavhawks.
Kansas coach Bill Self said after Monday's game against Texas Tech that the team had been trying to play faster the whole season and that it was clicking now.
"This is how we have been trying to play for a while, as far as the pace is concerned." Self said. "Even on the road, we have had a lot more possessions and played faster."
One reason Kansas has been able to run more on opponents and get more fast breaks is because of the improved play of the big men.
Self has been able to settle in on a rotation and has started freshman forward Julian Wright and sophomore center Sasha Kaun together for the past three games. Against Texas Tech, Kaun had 10 points and seven rebounds.
Self said the big men have been pivotal in Kansas scoring more points and getting more fast break opportunities.
more last breakfast apples.
"They are getting easy baskets," Self said. "The best way to get confidence is to get a layup, and then you think you're playing real well. These guys are playing to their strengths more now. They are getting out and running."
Sophomore forward Darnell Jackson's play has also improved since conference play began. Jackson has scored in double figures the last four games.
Another reason Kansas has been able to put more points on the scoreboard is because of its improved shooting. The Jayhawks have shot 50 percent or better the past five games and in nine out of their last 11 games.
Freshman guard Mario Chalmers, who was named Big 12 Rookier of the Week on Monday, has averaged more than 14 points per game in
"We're doing a good job of finding the open man, and we're hitting shots," sophomore guard Russell Robinson said. "We're sharing the ball more and not putting up bad shots."
conference play. He has also helped Kansas run in the open floor. His 53 steals are already the fourth most by a KU freshman.
Poor shooting has been a big reason Kansas has faltered in losses this season. In its 61-49 loss to Arizona, Kansas shot just 33 percent. Against Kansas State, Kansas shot 32 percent.
Freshman guard Brandon Rush said it was more fun playing the style of basketball where Kansas got out and ran on other teams.
"It's fun out there right now," he said. "Everybody is crashing the boards, and that leads to quick baskets and fast breaks."
Kansas will get another opportunity to continue its hot shooting at noon on Sunday when it plays host to Oklahoma.

Boy, do I know the pain of dealing with acne. Marion Hixon understands my pain (and I'm sure some of you do too) and she is the first to tackle Jayplay's new department: Health. Look to this department to deliver the lowdown on all health/beauty-related issues that currently plague our fine campus.
On page 10, Kelsie Smith takes a look into another plague: the Adderall epidemic. She'll tell you why taking your, ahem, "unfocused" roommate's pills may not be a hot idea.
For an alternative pill fix, read about Malinda Osborne's experience with herbal supplements. She risked her health to bring us the details of the effects of herbs on her brain.

An article in last week's Jayplay needs clarification. Comments about Jomana Qaddour's appearance and attire were portrayed incorrectly, and should not have appeared in the paper. It was not Qaddour's intent, nor that of Jayplay, to make it seem like Qaddour was putting herself on display. Jayplay regrets and apologizes for the fact that the article cast Qaddour in that light.

Food fight
O
by Melissa Byrd
In a smackdown between MyPyramid and pepperoni pizza, who will win?
Two kinds of people exist in this world: those who eat to live and those who live to eat. If you're like me, chowing down for the sake of mere survival doesn't really cross your mind when devouring a pepperoni pizza with extra cheese. And you know what? Statistics show most Americans share my mindset about food and that we are paying for it with extra pounds and, ultimately, our health.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 65 percent of people over the age of 20 in this country are overweight. Thirty percent are obese. Pepperoni pizza with extra cheese is waging its war on us, and winning most battles. But do we want it to lose?
Let's face it. Food is good. And so-called bad food is even better. But food is not the problem. We are. The words "too much of a good thing" don't register. In response to the
unbalanced American diet, the U.S. Department of Agriculture revamped its old Food Guide Pyramid in April 2005. The result was MyPyramid, our new and improved road map to healthy eating. MyPyramid boasts a more personalized and user-friendly approach to eating healthy and staying physically active.
But how easy is it, really, to follow MyPyramid guidelines? In a world where time is short, cooking takes too long and fast food is everywhere, planning healthy meals and making time for exercise can seem impossible. And, even if we do take time to eat what we should and exercise, will the time and effort be worth it? I heard from people who start to eat right, exercise and lose weight that they hardly miss their old, deviant ways; decided to find out if it's true.
For three days, I followed MyPyramid guidelines for my age, sex and physical activity level. I decided
to eat out at least one meal a day, like most college students do, to deal with making wise choices while dining out.
To prepare for these uncharted waters I was wading in to, I visited the on-campus, registered dietician, Ann Chapman. Chapman provides nutritional counseling at the Wellness Center for $7 to $10 a session. She armed me with all the material I needed to transform my habits. She offered a list of health-friendly restaurants and best bets for what to choose while eating various types of cuisine.
Chapman entered my information into www.mypyramid.gov and out popped my personalized guidelines for healthy eating. As a 24-year-old female who exercises 30 minutes or less every day, I should eat no more than 2000 calories to maintain my current weight. Of those 2000 calories, I must consume six ounces
of grains, two-and-a-half cups of vegetables, two cups of fruits, three cups of milk and five-and-a-half ounces of meat and beans.
So how did I do? According to MyPyramid tracker, a handy online tool that allows you to record what you eat and then analyzes how closely you meet your recommended guidelines, I fell short on one to three food groups each day. Paranoia kept me from eating too much, but, really, I didn't end up eating enough. The beauty of MyPyramid is you can eat a lot, you just need to eat the right things.
Sure, following MyPyramid guidelines takes a little effort. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was the perfect diet. But after only three days, I did feel a little spring in my step and the world seemed a little brighter. Okay, not really — but I do have more energy than usual. I'm even sticking with my new diet. MyPyramid: 1, Pepperoni pizza:0.

DAY THREE
For breakfast, I apple route once granola. Lunch is tricky, so I order chicken taco. For dinner match roll and baked on an orange and some oils.

FOOD DIARY
DAY ONE
I woke up too late to make breakfast, so I grabbed a yogurt and apple on my way out the door. For lunch, I made a tuna salad sandwich with low-fat mayo on whole wheat bread and grouped it with tomato soup and grapes.Later, I had dinner at Free State with friends. I ordered the gumbo and a side salad. I felt healthier already.
→DAY TWO
For breakfast, I went the yogurt-and-apple route once again. This time I added granola. Lunch was El Mezcal. Mexican food is tricky, so I ordered a bean burrito and chicken taco sans cheese and sour cream. For dinner, I grilled a chicken breast and matched it with broccoli, a whole-wheat roll and baked potato. For a snack, I noshed on an orange and some grapes.
To make up for my small breakfast yesterday, I chose eggs, wheat toast, grapefruit and orange juice. Rather than eating lunch, I grazed all afternoon on hummus and pita bread, fruit and cheese. Dinner was at Panera Bread Co., one of Chapman's favorites for healthy eating, where I ordered the vegetable soup and the bistro steak salad.

FOOD TOO HOT TO EAT? BE PATIENT. PROPER ETIQUETTE DICTATES THAT YOU WAIT FOR FOOD TO COOL RATHER THAN BLOWING ON IT. IN THE CASE OF SOUP, BEGIN EATING FROM THE SIDE OF THE BOWL. THIS IS PORTION THAT WILL COOL FASTEST, SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO WAIT LONG.

According to a survey conducted last year by researchers from the University of South Florida, 74.7 percent of men shave the hair on their groin. Of the 118 college men surveyed, 26.7 percent said they used scissors to trim their tidbits. That may explain why the same percentage of men complained of cuts to their skin. Note to self: Using sharp metal objects in close proximity to balls may result in freakish cuts.
LITTLE-KNOWN FOOD FACT
Sources: Study:"Male body depilation: Prevalence and associated features of body hair removal." From the May 2005 edition of the psychology journal SEX ROLES.
Coffee growers in Indonesia have invented a way to make coffee from animal feces. A small marsupial known as a paradoxurus, (common name: luwak), only eats the ripest of coffee cherries. During digestion, a luwak's stomach enzymes add a distinctive flavor to the beans that's maintained even after they leave the luwak's system. The enterprising coffee growers gather these passed beans to form the world's most expensive coffee - Kopi Luwak. As a college student, this coffee may be a little out of your price range at $300 per pound

SKIN MYTHS BUSTED!
A LOOK AT THE REALITY BEHIND SKIN CARE MYTHS.
→ **Myth:** Dabbing toothpaste on a zit will dry it out and clear up your skin overnight.
**Truth:** Toothpaste isn't necessarily healthy for the skin and will have no quicker effect than medications.
**Myth:** You should pop your pimple using your fingers or fingernails.
**Truth:** Oils and bacteria in your fingernails could cause further infection and increase the chance of scarring your skin. Only resort to popping a pimple if it has come to a head on your skin (and some never will). If you must pop, do it after a hot shower with tissue wrapped around your finger. Squeeze the blemish back and forth.
→Myth:You should pop your pimple using your fingers or fingernails.
Myth: ice cubes will shrink pores.
Truth:The only way to do this is through purging the skin of all oils and toxins. Then following a proper skin care regimen.
Myth: Makeup will clog your pores.
Truth: You shouldn't go to sleep without washing off makeup, but pores will remain open despite a layer of makeup on the skin.
Sources: Lindsey Pollock and the office of Dr. Lee Bittenbender, M.D.
BREAKOUTS
How to fight that hideous acne
Don't do it. Even if you have a date tomorrow, don't pop that fresh pimple you're sporting. Dr. Lee Bittenbender, of the Dermatology Center of Lawrence, discourages popping pimples no matter how great the temptation. He says a pimple can be treated in about three days.
But most students don't have three days to wait for their skin to clear up.
Take care of your skin before that pesky acne crops up. Here's your guide:
Proper skin care at home:
Lindsey Pollock, an esthetician (or skin care specialist) at Images Salon & Day Spa, says everyone needs to use a cleanser, toner and moisturizer every day. She says that if you are dealing with recurring acne, using a treatment gel will help. Products like Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Gel can be found at drugstores for $5 to $10. Be selective about what you choose to treat your skin with.
ACNE-FIGHTING TO DO LIST
Drink lots of water,
Especially after drinking
and eating junk food.
Wash your face before going to bed.
Use face wash, toner and moisturizer.
is available through www.proactiv.com. If over-the-counter treatments don't work, progress to a prescription medication or other procedures that will help alleviate acne. Both Bittenbender and Fried agree that prescribed topical solutions like Differin, Retin-A and Tazorac will help clear skin. Some dermatologists prescribe antibiotics, which get to the root of the problem by fighting bacteria.
Shower immediately after working out.
because some stronger products can lead to inflamed skin.
Lower stress levels with time-management and rejuvenating activities like exercise and sufficient rest.
Don't pick at your skin.
"People often over wash their skin using astringents, toners and other potentially harsh solutions that can lead to irritation and even worsening of acne," says Dr. Richard G. Fried, author of Healing Adult Acne: Your Guide to Clear Skin and Self-Confidence.
A Natural solution
Though it hasn't been proven, tea tree oil is rumored to help acne. The antibacterial oil originates from New South Wales, Australia, and can be found in soaps and deodorants. Bridget Trybom, a facialist at Lada Salon, says dabbing tea tree oil on a blemish can lessen redness and swelling and helps prevent scarring from acne. However, professionals still tend to disagree about the use of natural medicines. Tea tree oil products are available at The Body Shop for $5-$12.
Facials + Dermatologist:
Look for over-the-counter treatments that contain benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid or salicylic acid. Benzoyl peroxide is the main ingredient in Proactiv, the mail-order skin care regimen promoted by celebrities Jessica Simpson and Alicia Keys. Professionals such as Pollock, Fried and Bittenbender have all heard Proactiv has been successful for some patients. Proactiv
Pollock advises regular trips to a salon
for properly-applied facials, a thorough home regimen and trips to the dermatologist to battle acne effectively.
Accutane
Bittenbender advises the use of Accutane to remedy serious acne that hasn't responded to other treatment. Accutane is a pill acne treatment that decreases the amount of oil produced by the skin. However, Accutane can result in birth defects so severe that, starting March 1, female patients
must take precautions. These precautions include multiple pregnancy tests before, during and after the treatment and a strong encouragement to use two forms of contraception. There also is an ongoing discussion in the scientific community that links Accutane to clinical depression. Patients can experience side effects like chapped lips, achy joints, elevated blood pressure and dry skin and eyes. Bittenbender says he recommends it more to men than women because of the risk of birth defects.
Birth control
It doesn't work for everyone, but hormone-based birth control can improve some women's skin. Fried says some birth control pills decrease levels of testosterone and, therefore, the hair follicles that cause acne are less active.
There are several causes of acne and according to Bittenbender and Pollock, the leading cause is genetics. While many think acne appears because of alcohol intake or a diet heavy in grease, Bittenbender disagrees. "There's no good evidence to support that diet plays a role," he says. "As far as I'm concerned you can eat what you want."
So go ahead and drink all night. Then eat a pizza. Just be sure to wash your face before you go to bed.

SAY WHAT?
Gettin' crazy on herbs (Supplements, that is)
by Malinda Osborne
Of all the universal desires out there, few are stronger than the urge to alter one's consciousness. Travel to any country and you are sure to find some locally-derived substance that whacks you out of your gourd. Inspired by this worldwide showing of hedonism, I decided to push past our trite alcohol and caffeine, not go so far as to fail a drug test, but try something new. The answer: herbal supplements. Former hippies love this stuff and we know they have a history with mind-altering substances. My mission was clear: I was going to trip on herbs.
In an attempt to make sure I wouldn't cause irreparable harm to my body during this admittedly half-baked endeavor, I spoke with Dr.Farhang R.Khosh, a naturopathic doctor and founder of Natural Medical Care in Lawrence. His office eschews typical pharmaceutical finds in favor of botanical medicine and homeopathic remedies.
He said besides familiarizing yourself with the substance's intended effect and possible
side effects, the most important thing to look for when taking herbs is the main ingredient and how many milligrams are in each dosage. He said herbs are usually most effective when you take the least amount recommended on the bottle.
"Obviously herbs are not as potent as prescriptive medicines. Homeopathic medicines are sold as an extreme dilution of the original herb, "Khosh said."While it's very possible, it's also are you can overdose on homeopathy, except I don't know why you would try to take more than the directions indicate."
First up was Bach "Rescue Remedy," a stress-relief serum that would work as a relaxant without hangover or embarrassing stories the day after. The product's Web site, www.bachcentre.com, says it is "beneficial for when you find yourself in traumatic situations, such as stress, emergencies, after getting bad news, before an exam or job interview and all other kind of situations
Whatever.
I took eight liquid drops under my tongue, double the recommended dosage, and was still acutely aware of impending responsibilities. I tried the serum on four separate occasions in a similar fashion and still — nothing. It turned out to be nothing more than a floral-flavored cocktail.
where we suddenly lose balance mentally." It was interesting to note, however, that 27 percent of the remedy is brandy.
I then opted for a more well-known herb, St. John's wort. The flower is touted as a natural remedy for mild depression, anxiety and sleep disorders. No one understands exactly how it works or even if it does work, although studies have suggested the active ingredient, hypercin, works like conventional antidepressants that involve inhibition of serotonin and dopamine reuptake.The bottle said to take one to three capsules a day. I took six daily for a week. Khosh said it takes fourteen days to see maximum results.I disagree
After a few days I noticed that I was drinking and eating slightly less, which are favorite pastimes when I'm not feeling so hot. On day five, the wort really started to kick in when I was driving down Massachusetts Street. Suddenly I felt euphoric and found myself giggling for no reason. Everything seemed a lot clearer too, and I started listening intently to the song playing in my car. It was like a very brief mushroom trip, except without being able to feel colors. After that I would continue to have positive mood bursts, unfortunately not as intense, until I had to stop on the seventh day to make way for the other drugs.
Ah, sweet kava kava. I was the most excited about this because of the purported effects it has, which include mildly talkative and euphoric behavior, a sense of calm and well-being and relaxed muscles. It has long been used as a part of religious and everyday life In Polynesia and there is much evidence to support its effectiveness.
However, it has been linked to liver damage with excessive use over time. The recommended daily intake is no more than 250 mg. I opted to take 10 capsules, 750 mg, in the first sitting.
After fifteen minutes I started to feel more relaxed. Incidentally, I did this while watching the KU vs. Missouri game. When I would normally be pounding a) my sixth beer or b) my fists on the couch when Moody missed the free throws, instead, I was sitting there, kind of feeling a little numb. Then for a while I felt deliriously content before I became really tired. I found similar results when I tried it for a second time. Unfortunately, Khosh said if you were to take kava kava regularly, you'd have to abstain from alcohol so as to keep the liver intact. I guess you can't have it both ways.
While I wouldn't recommend dismantling the beer pong table or putting the water bong away for good, also didn't discount herbal supplements just yet.

Cramming students turn to study-inducing stimulants

had to keep busy.
She cleaned her room and organized the books on her shelf by color and by size. She lay in bed writing letters she would never send to friends she hadn't talked to in years. She had a lot to say, but no one was awake to listen.
Things would be like this methodical, obsessive until the stimulant wore off.

The thing is, Sarah doesn't have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. She's never had a prescription. But her freshman-year roommate did.
"I took it pretty much before every single test," the Leawood sophomore says. "Any time I needed to concentrate and get something done. I'm a really big procrastinator, so it was really easy when I took it because I could just knock something out in an hour."
Sarah's freshman-year habits are not uncommon. Today, college students across the country rely on stimulants like Concerta and
without a prescription, a 2002 University of Wisconsin study said. In a 2004 study, the Partnership for a Drug-Free America found that one in 10 teenagers had taken stimulants (Ritalin and/or Adderall) without a prescription.
Sarah's use of Concerta has not resulted in any serious side effects, but, if
abused, prescription stimulants can cause hallucinations and psychotic behavior. And as students report increasingly lax ADHD testing standards, doctors like Stephen Hinshaw, chairman of the psychology department at the University of California-Berkeley, worry that this trend is getting out of hand.
Adderall, Concerta and Ritalin, oh my
Stimulant medications are most often prescribed to treat ADHD. Common ADHD medications include Adderall, Concerta, Ritalin,
Strattera and Dexedrine. Adderall, however, is the most commonly prescribed ADHD medication on the market. More than 40 million Adderall prescriptions have been written since 1996.
But as the popularity of stimulants rises on college campuses across the country,some psychologists such as Hinshaw, who specializes in childhood and adolescent ADHD,say the dangers increase as well.
"I think it's a huge issue," Hinshaw says. "At colleges where students know that [stimulants] can be performance enhancers and that there are brief assessments [to acquire a prescription], and many people with ADHD ... don't like to take the medication everyday, then there becomes a market for it."
Shire Pharmaceuticals, maker of Adderall, maintains that studies show the drug, which comes in two forms, Adderall and a time-released version called Adderall XR, is safe and does not have addictive capabilities. Adderall is thought to work by "restoring the balance of certain neurotransmitters, or chemicals in the brain that send messages between the nerve cells and affect how we function," says Shire Pharmaceutical's Adderall XR Web site, www.adderalXR.com.
The site goes on to say that scientists believe two of those neurotransmitters, dopamine and

morepinephrine, play an important role in focusing and paying attention to tasks, and that when those two transmitters are not balanced, ADHD symptoms result. Adderall XR, like other stimulant medications, is thought to restore that balance and promote more normal message transmission, thus increasing the ability to focus and pay attention.
Hinshaw says Adderall is safe when used properly and that anyone — ADHD affected or not — will experience a performance boost when taking a stimulant. However, it is a Schedule 2 drug, which means it is approved for medical use but also has the highest potential for abuse.

In February, Health Canada (Canada's FDA equivalent) banned the sale of Adderall XR after learning from Shire Pharmaceuticals that the medication had been linked to 20 deaths worldwide. In August, however, Canada put Adderal XR
Even when taken with a prescription, Adderall, like most stimulants, has side effects, like those Sarah experienced when she took Concerta. The most common side effects are dry mouth, difficulty falling asleep, stomachache, headache, loss of appetite and weight loss.

So what is "more than you need?" A June
2005 FDA document says that while individual responses to amphetamines vary, toxic symptoms can occur, though rarely, at doses as low as two milligrams. The report says toxic symptoms are rare with doses of fewer than 15 milligrams, and that doses of 30 milligrams or more can produce severe reactions.
In December, New River Pharmaceuticals filed a new drug application for an abuse-resistant stimulant. The stimulant works through technology that prevents the drug's active ingredient from being released unless taken as directed and also limits the high

But until that drug is approved,
Romereim and Hinsaw agree
Getting a Fix
Minshaw agree that the biggest issue is how easy it can be to get diagnosed with ADHD and, along with the diagnosis, get a prescription for a stimulant medication. Hinshaw says he knows some doctors give people a short test, sometimes as brief as 15 minutes, and that downsizing
the diagnosis causes false positives and false negatives.
Both doctors agree an ADHD test needs to have diagnostic and personal evaluations, where the patient's history is examined and sought from others, such as parents, who have an understanding of the child's long-term patterns. At UC-Berkeley, Hinsaw says, the ADHD test is eight to 10 hours long.
At the University of Kansas, the Counseling and Psychological Services Center does ADHD testing. CAPS clinician Dr. John Wade says the tests require three to five sessions (one 50-minute session per week) with a CAPS

clinician. But before meeting with a clinician, the patient must return a packet of information to CAPS that includes a self-report, a survey with someone who currently knows the person well and information about the patient's formative years provided by the parents. CAPS also requires elementary, middle and high school transcripts.The rest of the process includes a personality assessment test and clinical evaluations.
At Watkins Health Center students who want to get an old stimulant prescription renewed, or who bring in a diagnosis and wants a new prescription entirely, must provide proof of a full evaluation, Dr. Myra Strother says.
"She would give me handfuls," Sarah remembers.
"If I see a student who comes in with just a prescription from a family doctor, I will not give them medication." *Strother says.*
Amber, Overland Park sophomore, took Adderall she got from friends occasionally her first semester at the University as well. But before the start of her second semester, she was tested for and diagnosed with ADHD. According to her prescription, Amber is supposed to take one 30-milligram pill every morning and one 20-milligram pill every afternoon. Because the severity of ADHD varies from person to person each ADHD patient's prescription is different.
For those students looking for a study stimulant who don't want to go through the process of getting a prescription, there is always another way, as in Sarah's case. Her roommate, who was diagnosed with ADHD and had prescriptions for Ritalin and Adderall was generous with her medication and rarely took all of her prescribed amount (Which Hinshaw says is quite normal for ADHD patients).
Amber says she doesn't usually take her prescribed dosage and never uses her entire prescription in one month. She usually gives about 10 pills to friends every month, and sometimes sells them as well. Selling, though, is a rarity. Amber says $5 is the most she's ever made on one pill, and she's only made about $30 altogether since she started filling her prescription.
To Amber, giving away medication is simply a way of helping out her friends. To the federal government, however, it's a felony. Because Adderall is an amphetamine, it is in the same regulatory category as cocaine and selling it is a class B felony, the same as distributing methamphetamine.In April 2005,a University of
HOW AMPHETAMINES WORK
When you are stressed or threatened, your body reacts with the "fight-or-flight" response; physical changes that prime your body for an emergency situation. Amphhetinines artificially produce the fight-or-flight response. Glands release adrenaline and other stress hormones into your bloodstream. Your heart rate and blood pressure increase. Blood flow is directed from your abdomen to your muscles.

Oregon student was arrested for selling legally obtained Adderall and dextroamphetamine sulfate out of his dorm room.
A Prescription Drug World
Sarah's first experience with stimulants was in eighth grade, when a friend with ADHD who didn't like to take all her medication gave
Sarah Adderall to get rid of the extra pills in her bottle. After that, Sarah continued to take Adderall occasionally throughout high school. Once she got to the University and realized her roommate had excess Concerta, Sarah would occasionally ask for some pills. Throughout her first year at the University, Sarah would sometimes take Concerta as often as every other day, sometimes as infrequently as every other week.
Sarah's habits are part of a growing trend of prescription
drug abuse nationwide. In 2003, the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse reported that 15.1 million Americans abused prescription drugs, up from 7.8 million in 1992. The three-year study also found that from 1992 to 2003, prescription drug abuse grew two times faster than the rate of marijuana abuse, five times faster than cocaine abuse and 60 times faster than heroin abuse.
The Center also performed a search for Web sites where a person can buy prescription medication without actually having a prescription. In a one-week window the study found 495 sites advertising prescription drug sales. Only six percent of the sites required a prescription to purchase medication, meaning
anyone with a credit card and a mailing address has access to drugs like Adderall, Concerta, OxyContin and Xanax, among others.
"I've had people come and tell me that before they came to see me they got Ritalin online from Pakistan and Valium online from Mexico," Romerime says. "People don't even think it's dangerous, I think it's very foolish, I

think it is an ignorance issue."
The Adderall Advantage
But why go to all this trouble in the first place? Does it really improve your grades that much? Sarah says in certain subjects, such as math, stimulants made a difference. In others, she couldn't really tell. Out of 28 students surveyed informally in a math class, 13 said they have used a prescription stimulant without a prescription, 11 said they had not and five said they used it
with a prescription.
Of the 13 who had taken a stimulant without a prescription,eight said they thought it helped them get better grades and five said it didn't make a difference.
Amber says at least 30, maybe more, of her friends use Adderall. She agrees with Sarah that taking it with or without a prescription is only dangerous if you take too much. Amber says she once took 60-milligrams to study for a big test and the dosage caused her to throw up. She says she has seen the same effect in others who have taken too much.
Sarah says that when she took Concerta she often wouldn't sleep for 48 hours or eat for a day and a half. But Sarah says the negative side

effects were worth the hours of concentration one Concerta pill could provide.
Amber says stimulants definitely helped her — her GPA went from 2.38 her first semester before being diagnosed with ADHD to 2.88 after she began taking Adderall to help her focus.
Ultimately, students like Sarah will keep the stimulant trend alive. She doesn't have a problem taking them, and hasn't taken them this year simply because they aren't as readily available to her now. She doesn't think there is any real danger in using stimulants as a study aide, an opinion Romereim does not share.
"it's cheating in the same way that when I was in college, kids took speed, or it's like taking caffeine to stay alert." Romereim says "it's illegal and dangerous, but it's not on the level of plagiarism.
"The goal for treating people with ADHD is not to make them superhuman, it's meant to make them normal," he says. "For people who don't have ADHD, (the drugs are) being used very improperly."
For Amber, the use is clearly justified. But are those who don't really need stimulants, like Sarah, and take them just to get ahead cheating?
According to a nationwide survey of about 11,000 college students published in the January 2005 issue of the journal Addiction, colleges with higher admission standards have the highest rate of prescription drug abuse up to 25 percent.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I'M THE NICEST GUY TO EVERY PERSON I MEET, BUT I'M STARTING TO BELIEVE THAT NICE GUYS REALLY DO FINISH LAST. DOES THE ASSHOLE ALWAYS HAVE TO GET THE GIRL? SHOULD I BE THE ASSHOLE AND FINISH STRONG, OR SHOULD I KEEP BEING THE NICE GUY AND FINISH WITH WHATEVER IS LAST? — ALAN, SOPHOMORE
Jessica: "I want a bad boy. You want a bad boy? I want a boy so bad he wears a mask! A villain!" My favorite comedian, Dane Cook, talks about women loving bad boys. It's actually a load of crap. Women who want bad boys are really only wanting them for the image they portray: Rugged. Handsome. Exciting. Rebellious.. James Dean. In reality, women want to be treated well and most girls in relationships are with nice guys. You may only think they're assholes because the only time they talk about their boyfriend is when he's being an asshole. The truth is, most girls don't date assholes. They date nice guys, and nice guys can occasionally just act like assholes — just like all girls can act like bitches. If you think the problem is how nice you are, think again. Maybe they don't want to date you because your breath smells like tuna or they think you have ulterior motives. I recommend sticking to being the nice guy that you are and waiting for another nice girl with the same problem... Tuna breath
Brian: You and I have something in common, Alan:
we both get screwed over by women. All you ever hear about as a guy is how women want the nice guy (see above rant) and how they want him to do sweet things, etc. It's a load of crap. No matter what you do, women will always bitch about not getting enough. If you buy them flowers once a week, they want it twice. You go see a chick flick every few movies; they want it every time. You have sex with her once while you're dressed up as a clown; she wants Bozo every night. Basically, when you try to do something to set you apart from every other guy, it automatically becomes expected. So here's my real advice: Do the exact opposite of everything you ever thought you should do for a girl. Go on a date with her and forget your money, pick her up an hour late, call an ex in the middle of dinner, then at the end of the night, just assume you're going back to her place to get it on. If she doesn't like it, then you're in the same place as you were being a nice guy. If she likes it, you're golden. And don't forget to repeat my double-meaning motto all night: "Screw women!"
Brian: The more the merrier! Why don't you start out with three, then add a new girl every week. Every once in a while bring in a guy to keep the girls satisfied. You could try to get into the Guinness Book of World Records. If that fails, you would surely live for all time in KU lore. Women will be all over you and guys will want to be you. You'll be like James Bond, only with fewer gadgets.

Like a maestro feverishly waving his baton to direct the music, Steve Keene orchestrates his own art with a quick paintbrush and gallons upon gallons of Utrecht house paint.
Keene, a 48-year-old painter from New York, is living in Lawrence as an artist-inresidence at the University, painting live Monday through Friday in the Kansas Union art gallery until February 14.
Images of the '70s rock band Blondie appear in thickly brush-stroked paintings in Keene's portfolio. Interwoven throughout his collection is album art he created for cult-favorite band Pavement, underlining a strong influence in Keene's work: music. His vibrant, exuberant paintings, like music, travel to the farthest corners of the globe — from the Moore College of Art in Philadelphia to the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany.
While attending Yale University to study printmaking, Keene worked as a radio DJ
David Cateforis, professor
and met guitarist and singer Steven Malkmus of Pavement. Keene began collaborating with Malkmus and other musicians, including Dave Matthews Band, painting album art, video and stage sets and posters.
In 1998, Andy Dierks, then a KU student but now KJHK general manager, attended a Pavement and Apples in Stereo show at Liberty Hall where he purchased his first work by Keene. Later, Dierks purchased three more paintings for $45 on Keene's Web site, www.stevekeeen.com, and was pleasantly surprised when nine paintings arrived at his doorstep instead." I could even smell the fresh paint as soon as I opened the package," Dierks says. Four of these paintings are proudly displayed in Dierks' office where Megan Wesley, last year's Student Union Activities Cultural Arts Coordinator, initially noticed them and got the ball rolling to bring Keene to campus.
of art history, says that Keene's involvement with rock music seems consistent with his effort to reach the masses. "Keene is playing partly to the insider's art-world elite. On the other hand, his art is very populist in orientation, so it's more like street art being made for the masses."
The day after Keene arrived in Kansas, he purchased 100 sheets of thin plywood, the equivalent of an 8-by-400-foot painting.
Keene churns out 100 paintings a day and admits that the 8- to 10-hour workdays are stressful, but he doesn't worry if the product is bad or good. "It's like playing a game you can't redo. You just do another," Keene says.
To make his art, Keene cuts the plywood to make smaller panels. He creates multiples of the same image, though each is unique because it is handpainted. The panels combined create his envisioned large-scale piece.
Though Keene doesn't have the rock star ego, he certainly lives the lifestyle, traveling around the world performing. And for Keene, the performance is as important to his art as the end product he creates. "It's as if I'm a musician performing for an audience. There's a craft in travelling around and adapting to different situations. You think about how you can animate different spaces," Keene says. "But I don't talk to people while I'm working. I'm polite, but it's like I'm working on stage playing an instrument. You don't talk to the audience while you're creating your art."
Even more remarkable than the scale and spontaneity of his art is the cost to purchase it. Keene is selling his original works for $5 per painting. Smaller pieces brought from his Brooklyn studio run even cheaper. 3 for $5. Keene said that because his art is so cheap, people think of them as informal trading cards. "You buy a few, and if you move, you may leave
them, take them with you. or give them to a friend. My art is dispersed to the world in many different ways." Keene says.
Michelle Tran, current SUA Cultural Arts Coordinator and Derby junior, says, "Sometimes you go to a gallery to see a beautiful piece of artwork, but it's too expensive to purchase. With Keene, you can take a little bit of his art home with you like a souvenir from a show."

Keene has created at least 175,000 paintings over the past 14 years. His philosophy echoes that magnitude of energy.
"How do you make big art in the world?" Keene asks. "You just stop."

I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I'M THE NICEST GUY TO EVERYPERSON I MEET, BUT I'M STARTING TO BELIEVE THATNICE GUYS REALLY DO FINISH LAST. DOES THE ASSHOLEALWAYS HAVE TO GET THE GIRL? SHOULD I BE THEASSHOLE AND FINISH STRONG. OR SHOULD I KEEPBEING THE NICE GUY AND FINISH WITH WHATEVER ISLAST? ALAN, SOPHOMORE
Jessica: "I want a bad boy. You want a bad boy? I want a boy so bad he wears a mask! A violin!" My favorite comedian, Dane Cook, talks about women loving bad boys. It's actually a load of crap. Women who want bad boys are really only wanting them for the image they portray: Rugged. Handsome. Exciting. Rebellious. James Dean. In reality, women want to be treated well and most girls in relationships are with nice guys. You may only think they're assholes because the only time they talk about their boyfriend is when he's being an asshole. The truth is, most girls don't date assholes. They date nice guys, and nice guys can occasionally just act assholes — just like all girls can act like bitches. If you think the problem is how nice you are, think again. Maybe they don't want to date you because your breath smells like tuna or they think you have ulterior motives. I recommend sticking to being the nice guy that you are and waiting for another nice girl with the same problem... Tuna breath.
Brian: You and I have something in common, Alan:
we both get screwed over by women. All you ever hear about as a guy is how women want the nice guy (see above rant) and how they want him to do sweet things, etc. It's a load of crap. No matter what you do, women will always bitch about not getting enough. If you buy them flowers once a week, they want it twice. You go see a chick flick every few movies; they want it every time. You have sex with her once while you're dressed up as a clown; she wants Bozo every night. Basically, when you try to do something to set you apart from every other guy, it automatically becomes expected. So here's my real advice: Do the exact opposite of everything you ever thought you should do for a girl. Go on a date with her and forget your money, pick her up an hour late, call an ex in the middle of dinner, then at the end of the night, just assume you're going back to her place to get it on. If she doesn't like it, then you're in the same place as you were being a nice guy. If she likes it, you're golden. And don't forget to repeat my double-meaning motto all night:"Screw women!"

A little George Clooney never hurt anyone, even when he's overweight and bearded, but you should prepare yourself because this is no Ocean's 13. Recent Golden Globe winner Clooney stars in this hot potato political thriller about the effects of big business interfering in war.

COCKTAIL OF THE WEEK
1
The martini first chilled the American scene in the late 1800s, according to Daniel R. White's book, The Martini. White theorizes that the cocktail was invented by a bartender named Martini at New York City's Delmonico Hotel. The martini, popularized by the fictional character James Bond, consists of two ounces of gin or vodka, a splash of dry vermouth and is typically garnished with an olive. Preferred serving is shaken, not stirred.

BOOK
Gregory Maguire, believe it or not, keeps putting out quality novels even after the success of Wicked. Maguire's style — I won't cheapen it by calling it a gimmick — is to twist fairy tales around. With Mirror, Mirror, the fairy tell in question is the story of Snow White.
Unlike the fictional Oz laid out in Wicked, Maguire chooses to use a real historical backdrop for this novel. The backdrop is the Tuscan countryside in early 16th century. Bianca, our Snow White, lives on the estate of her

widower father. One day, Cesare and Lucezia Borgia (actual historical figures — Cesare is the basis for Machiavelli's The Prince) come calling. Cesare needs Bianca's father to go on a missionary expedition to find a religious relic, and Bianca is left in the care of Lucezia. When Lucezia learns of her brother's interest in Bianca she turns into the wicked stepmother.
Lucezia hires a hunter to kill Bianca in the woods, but, in the usual fashion, her life is spared and she eventually encounters the dwarves of the fairy tale, who have a talent for creating mirrors. The fairy tale is then left to play out.
sides, for example, are leery of mirrors (another throwback to the fairy tale). Savonarola, a monk who tossed mirrors in bonfires, saying they caused vanity is often referenced in the novel. The novel also cheekily reminds us that Savonarola was executed as a heretic by the Church.
Maguire could have tossed any number of statements in this novel, all of which would have been worthless had the novel not been readable. The pace is quick, the characters, especially the estate's cook, likeable and the style fluid. The greater role of religion isn't understood completely until the novel is over; the reader isn't knocked upside the head with it. Maguire has produced another great novel.
Religious metaphors play a strong part in this novel. The religious relic Bianca's father is sent after is an apple from the Biblical Tree of Knowledge, and, of course, the apple figures prominently in the original fairy tale. It also seems no accident that the historical context of the story is an Italy that is gripped on one end by the Catholic Church, and on the other by old world superstitions. Both sides, Maguire argues, deal with hypocrisy and corruption. Both

The New World, written and directed by Terrence Malick, is a retelling of the story of Pocahontas. I'm not convinced the story needed to be retold.
Qorianka Kilcher, as Pocahontas, plays her part with dignity and energy. You would think she'd been wearing animal skins her whole life. Her leading men do just fine, but they don't have much to do. John Smith (Colin Farrell) spends most of the movie looking either worshipful or anguished. Christian Bale, who plays playing the saintly John Rolfe, alternates between amused and concerned.
MOVIE
The New World
If you don't mind the flashy editing, the film is a pleasure to look at. Unfortunately, the pretty pictures eventually talk,
and the silences are broken by voice-over. In hushed narration, John Smith tells us of his consuming love for Pocahontas, his admiration for the Powhatan people and his dreams of shared wealth and shared work — a true commonwealth for all people. The effect is a bit subtler than if John Lennon's "Imagine played over the scenes."
Both the new world and the old one are rich in detail. The contrast between the two is a better advertisement for the Pocahontan way of life than any words Malick could have written. Compared to life in Pocahontas's village, $ _{17}^{\mathrm{th}}$-century England seems over-crowded and absurdly complicated.
Interesting as they are, images can only carry the film so far. This movie is superfluous. With the exception of Q'orianka Kilcher herself, there is simply nothing new in The New World.

World.
In a fair world, pop music would be judged for mere sonic quality, or, you know, artistic merit, or something. But smart consumers know better. For a world of gossip magazines, internet news, and SNL screw-ups, anything can work within context. To see Britney Spears embrace her whoredom, finally, without that not-a-girl-not-necessarily-a-woman fluff, made the orgy that was In the Zone even greater than it was.
But cultural context doesn't always work to one's advantage. Case in point: Rosanne Cash's latest offering drops after the death of her parents: legends Johnny Cash, stepmother June Carter Cash, and her mother, Vivian Liberto.The album's foundation upon that death and grief is what makes it so expected, so consistent and, ultimately, so lackluster.
In the tradition of Cash offerings,
everything here is good. "Black Cadillac" opens in a post-grunge crunch of guitars and driving rhythm.
Mariachi horns reference "Ring of Fire." Oceana-influenced "Like a Wave" is pleasant and haunting. Ballads "God is in the Roses" and "The World
Unseen" are delicate, pianodriven odes to grief, death, life, and hope.
ROSANNE CASH BLACK CADILLAC
Never one for overt sentimentality,
Cash now straddles a thin line between originality and cliché. Her lyrics, at times arresting and touching, can turn to the dull and maudlin.
With her grief still fresh, Cash has difficulty distancing herself
makes the album's greatest, simplest point of love: transcending-life. These songs are what the album could have been — an otherwise solid and loving tribute.
from the emotion of her father's death, unable to sift through the mess of anger and abandonment to come up with something musically conclusive. But that rawness occasionally gets harnessed. "Radio Operator" is a fine piece of furious country-rock. "House on the Lake" is spooky and poignant and gorgeous "I Was Watching You."

MUSIC WE ARE SCIENTISTS WITH LOVE AND SQUALOR
Let's just get straight to the point. We Are Scientists is another band doing that same sloppy dance rock a roll stuff similar to Hot Hot Heat, Franz Ferdinand and The Killers. The same easy crowd pleasing stuff we've heard a million times.
The formula for this type of music is incredibly simple. Find a few guys, take them to a thrift store to find retro dress shirts, teach the drummer to overplay and hit his cymbals really loud, tell the guitar player to play really fast high notes and encourage the band to never change dynamics. Works every time.
Through "With Love" and "Squalor," We Are Scientists-write the same song over and over again. They employ dirty sounding guitars, dancey beats, and vocals that sound they were recorded in a cave. They also have fun writing such nonsense lyrics as "my body is your body, I won't tell anybody, if you want to use my bod go for it."
So if you're fan of dancey rock n roll, maybe this is the CD for * you. But chances are you've heard this CD before, done by a different band.
The one break from the medium is "Textbook" a song where they actually slow down the tempo a bit and give it a different feel. It is one song of 12 that stood out.

Dead or Alive 4 GAME
Boobs. That's the first word that springs to mind when most people think of the Dead or Alive series. It's really too bad, considering the first three titles were actually decent fighting games, although overshadowed by the Tekken and Virtua Fighter series. Thankfully, with Dead or Alive 4, Team Ninja has finally released a game to compete with the big ones. No pun intended.
The story focuses on a small group of fighters led by the ninja Hayate and their mission to destroy the DOATEC organization. While the manual goes into quite a bit of detail regarding the back story, the actual game only incorporates it in a few pointless cut scenes during story mode. (Example: Two girls attempt to buy the same head of lettuce. Fight ensues). You will not be playing this one for the story.
As the first fighting game to hit the next generation consoles, Dead or Alive 4 looks awesome. The character models are incredibly detailed, the series' trademark multi-tiered levels look amazing and the action moves along at a crisp 60 frames per second without a hitch.
LOOKING FOR COMEDY IN THE MUSLIM WORLD
Also featured is a staggering amount of game modes. From the basic story and time attack modes to the more exciting
team battles and survivor modes, DOA4 has pretty much everything you could want in a fighting game. Even better is the game's online mode, which features a distinctive, yet underused, lobby system in which gamers can socialize while awaiting their turn to play.
As for the fighting itself, a number of small but significant improvements have been made. One of the most obvious changes is the revised counter system, which now has a much smaller time frame, making for a challenging experience.
If you're a fan of fighting games, you really should give Dead or Alive 4 a try. It's big, fun and well-rounded. Pun intended.
System:X-Box 360
This game is available for purchase at Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, Hastings, EBGames and other video game dealers. $59.99. It is available for rent at Blockbuster, Hastings, Dillons and other video game rental agencies.

MOVIE
"Why is there no Halloween in India?"
Because they took away the Gandhi."
Written and directed by comedian Albert Brooks, Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World mixes superb wit with jokes that make you cringe and want to slink out of your seat (see above.) But it's meant to be that way. And for the most part, it works.
Brooks receives a proposition by the United States government to travel to Muslim areas of the world, find out exactly what makes them laugh and write a 500-page report based on his findings in an effort to better understand them. The prize? An elusive "Medal of Freedom."
Enthusiastic but skeptical about this unlikely proposition, Brooks lands in New Delhi, India, with two sidekicks hired by the State Department (John Carroll Lynch and Jon Tenney). After finding an Indian assistant named Maya (Sheetal Sheth), he hits the crowded streets to begin his venture. Realizing quickly that his method of random interviewing will never get him close to the lofty 500 pages, Brooks decides to put on a stand-up comedy show in the heart of New Delhi.
The result isn't pretty. Even I felt pain for him. No one likes seeing someone fail so miserably on stage. Albert Brooks proves that he's just as good at making audiences want to hurt him as he is at making them laugh.
But the man moves on. After all, "it's okay to bomb. it's not the end of the world," he says.
Or is it? His horrible show, an illegal crossing into Pakistan and lines like the above joke make Indian and Pakistani authorities extremely suspicious of the American "funny man." He's not funny enough to be a comedian. He talks about bombing. They decide he must have some ulterior
**
motive.
Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World doesn't produce as many laughs as you'd expect. There are some sassy one-liners, but Brooks isn't at his comedic best. But he's not supposed to be. Instead, his willingness to be self-deprecating should be admired.
Brooks learns his lesson that humor doesn't easily translate. Perhaps the world is too distrustful and unstable for it to believe that a dopey.American comic is just there to see what makes people laugh, and that the only "bombing" going on is his stand-up routine.

A hairowing journey to self acceptance

The worst day of my seventh-grade year was the one when a classmate decided to make a list of traits and have two popular boys fill out which girls in our class they thought represented the best and worst of them. The list contained everything important to image-conscious 12-year-olds: body, face, legs, smile, hair. A gangly, awkward, head-taller-than-all-the-boys me made the list in that last trait: I had the worst hair in the seventh grade. It was official.
We all have those vivid preteen moments that leave an indelible pain. I'll never forget looking at that piece of notebook paper, crumpled from being passed around all day, and feeling the heat of humillation and self-consciousness burn up from my gut, redden my complexion (also deemed worst), sting my eyes and smolder to the tips of my frizzy, wiry, kinky, wretched hair.
The worst thing about it was that it was true. My hair, by any standards
except Richard Simmons's, was horrible. It was a shoulder-length brown mess of frizz, a miserable creature that was starkly different from the straight, smooth, highlighted coifs of the other seventh-grade girls.
I didn't know how to fix it. My mother, also a victim of Explosive Hair, had horn hers years before. We had just two hair tools at our house. One was a bright yellow hair dryer that short-circuited after 10 minutes, dated circa late 1970s. The other was a one-inch-barrel curling iron missing a plastic piece. Using
To watch it dry was to watch an explosion in slow-motion: first, the outer strands would twist and stack on top of each other, and then the short hairs on top of my head would stick straight up. My hair would transform, layer by layer, from a slick, straight entity to a sprawling mass of fluff, sprinkled with strands that looked obscenely like pubes.
When I straightened my hair, it would wrap its tentacles around my neck.

The climax of infamy was one Saturday morning after a sleepover I awoke to find a dead baby frog on my pillow. The girls all shrieked and called for a man to dispose of it. As the frog was carted away, my friend Casey noticed a long brown strand of hair between its toes. "Look!" she cried, pointing, "The little frog got caught in Natalie's hair! Natalie's hair killed it!"
it guaranteed a burned thumb. My mom bought me hair products, but they never worked. She once got a $10 bottle the size of a hotel shampoo sample. Ten drops of the serum were to transform my hair into starched, ironed curtains that would sway when I walked (at least, that's what the magazine ad looked like). Half a bottle later, my hair was transformed into sticky fuzz.
For eighth grade graduation, I chopped it to chin-length, a decision I regretted for two years, during which my face looked fatter. My hair with fewer inches to weight it down, swelled.
Some nights, as I lay going to sleep, I'd feel it drying and start to cry as it got rough. I'd grab a clump and pull it out, desperate. wore it in a ponytail for three years straight.
Over the years, though, I learned to deal with my hair. I employed the
greatest coping strategy: I made a joke out of it. My hair was my fame, my trademark, the butt of everyone's jokes. My best friends never passed up an opportunity to make fun of it:
Lyrically: "You know in that Dashboard song where he says 'your hair is everywhere?' Well, he's talking about you."
In college, I was set free from the shackles of hair trauma. That my hair was starkly different was no longer considered bad. My roommate tutored me in the ways of hair, explaining basics ("Yeah, it'll sizzle like that if you try to curl it wet") and sharing a battalion of products.
On brushing:"It sounds like when my grandpa used to brush the sheepdogs fur."
On the kid who just tripped:
"Aauuqh! Natalie's hair got him!"
I'm now at peace with my hair. I'm proud of my wild curls. There are still days when I gaze at "normal" hair with envy — my roommate Amy has gorgeous, long, strong blonde locks that fall smoothly down her back — but, for the most part, I'm happy with what I've got. It was a long journey my hair and I took to accepting ourselves, but we made it with minimal damage. Except, of course, for the frog.
Eighth-grade graduation.
Five inches cut that morning resulted in as many added in volume.
