Joseph Steinmetz, the incoming dean of liberal arts and sciences, is working on a proposal that would make the college the final professional school to accept a differential tuition system. The college voted down a similar proposal in 2004, proposed by then-dean Kim Wilcox. Todd Bradley, Wichita junior, said he was unhappy about the idea. "We pay tuition to take classes. I don't understand why you have to pay another fee," Bradley said. Differential tuition is a system used to raise money for various improvements. Amenities like classroom technology, money to hire more faculty and funds for student projects are all allowed through differential tuition in other professional schools. William L. Eakin, vice provost for administration and finance, said that a proposal is going to require research from Steinmetz. "The dean of the school has to prove that he has the support of the students in the school for differential," Eakin said. He said That Steinmetz will have to "communicate with as many students as possible." said the University could not go to the Regents without strong student support. The proposal would have to be sent to the Board of Regents in order to be approved, and Eakin He said that the proposal would have to be put together by March 1, 2007, because proposals were made to the Regents by May 1. Eakin said that there were approximately 300,000 credit hours taken per year in the college, so while no proposed in- ferential tuition fee among the University's professional schools at $12.50 per credit hour, while "I'll pay whatever they're going to raise me.

One concern that students might have about the increase in tuition is that tuition rates for the University as a whole are increasing yearly, meaning students might already "The challenge is after five years of KU already spending, students would feel like they don't need to pay for things they already have," Eakin said. However, that doesn't mean students wouldn't be in favor of an increase. "Is there something that students in the college would get excited about to say Yeah, I want that?' Eakin said. "I think it's possible that there's a package they would support." Jon Southern, Shawnee senior, said that while he doesn't like the idea, he would pay what was necessary. "I'll pay whatever they're going to raise me. I need my degree, and it's too close to worry," he said.

Some of the updates include new food choices and expansion to The Market in the Kansas Union to help relieve congestion. Along with the already existing Brellas Sandwich Crafters, AFC Sushi and Pizza Hut, The Market will also offer five new venues with everything from Chipotle-style burritos to a pasta bar. The Corner Bakery, one of the new additions, will offer bakery items from both Joe's Bakery, 616 W. Ninth St. and Miss Molly's Muffins. It will take the place of Freshens Smoothie Company and Pulse Coffee Bar, both of which will move to the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. Sharing the area with The Eri Kiriwayashi, Japan senior and employee at The Market, said he was looking forward to the changes, especially the addition of the salad bar. Corner Bakery will be Garden Gourmet, which will provide hot panini sandwiches, soups and a salad bar. "You want a variety, especially if you eat here every day," she said. "I'm definitely excited about more food choices." Stanley Harp, an electrical worker from Overbrook, works on wiring near The Market, on the third floor of the Kansas Union. The Market is currently undergoing a renovation to add more dining options for students. Some of the new features at The Market will replace similar selections.

Edited by Dani Hurst WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 2006 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5 TECHNOLOGY Enroll & Pay upgrades in progress TOM SLAUGHTER tslaughter@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER The Enroll & Pay system is being upgraded, which will make it easier to use for students, faculty and parents. The upgrades are focused on allowing easier navigation through the Web site for users. Martin Maina, Kenya graduate student in International Studies, said that the system didn't have many problems for the most part, but that "sometimes it's difficult to log in to." Bob Turvey, associate administrator for Student Success, said that while the current system was considered "cutting edge" in the spring of 2003, they "knew that the system was not what it needed to be in 2006." Sheri Phillips, information systems analyst for the Office of Student Success, said that the current version made it difficult for users to access all of their information because they had to follow different links to view each piece of data. "The self serve aspect was not the most user-friendly," Phillips said. With the new version, users will be able to see tion about enrollment, graduation and class schedules, as well as addresses and telephone numbers that each student gave to the University. Turvey said "The self-serve aspect was not the most userfriendly." all of their academic and personal data on one page, as opposed to having to follow links to view each piece of information. SHERI PHILLIPS Information systems analyst for the Office of Student Success The page will include informa enrollment periods they are informed that they cannot enroll in classes. that students' holds will be displayed more clearly in the updated version because students often don't follow links to find out about their holds, and during "That's been very frustrating for people," Turvey said. Another feature in the updated version will allow students to select which classes they want to enroll in before their actual enrollment appointment. At the time of the appointment users will simply press a button and, assuming the classes aren't full, enrollment will be complete. Turvey said that about one or two dozen schools have already made the upgrade, but that the University was still ahead of a significant proportion of academic institutions across the world in terms of updating the current version. He said that feedback from other institutions that used the new system had been positive. While the system will become easier to use, the improvements haven't come without a price. Turvey said that the University originally bought a yearly contract for the software with PeopleSoft, which has since merged with Oracle, for approximately $145,000. However, when making the decision for an upgrade, the University had to pay an upgrade lab $70,000 for initial work and a group of consultants $20,000 for additional work last summer. Turvey said that while he does receive complaints many of which are from parents students have not been negatively outspoken about the system. "I think it's fine the way it is," Brent Pitts, Olathe sophomore, said. That doesn't mean however, that an upgrade wouldn't be beneficial. If it's going to be more user-friendly, all the better", Maina said. —Edited by Dani Hurst CLUBS --- CLUB'S GEAR STOLEN Photo Illustration by Joshua Bickel Theft leaves jugglers without vital performance gadgets BY ADRIENNE BOMMARITO abommarito@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER The morning of June 4th became a day of surprises for the University of Kansas' Juggling Club and the individuals who stole their belongings. Justin Gramarye and Bradley Barger, two members of the club, were in Omaha, Neb., when someone broke into Gramarye's Toyota Camry and stole $4,000 in belongings. The stolen items included a unicycle, a laptop and four bags containing balls, beanbags, torches, devil sticks and cigar boxes. The men were the only members of the club who attended the Flatland Juggling Festival in Nebraska. Gramarye, treasurer of the club, said he thought the laptop, which was in plain view of passersby, may have been motivation for the thieves. "I think they thought the bags were something they could sell, then they opened them up later and went, 'Ah," Gramarye said. Tio Duermeier, club president, said the theft occurred between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. when the club members were in a park throwing boomerangs. Duermeier, who was not present in Omaha, said the club was at a loss without the items. The club has 11 members who perform at various locations around the campus and Lawrence. The club had previously bought equipment with funds from Student Senate at the end of the spring semester. The thieves stole the equipment that was purchased with the funds given to the club by Student Senate. "We had all that we just got." Duermeier said. "Then we lost it all." Gramarye said the club planned to ask Student Senate for more funds, but would have to wait because it happened while Student Senate was out of session. He said he had no idea what to The following items were stolen from a member of KU's Juggling Club: a unicycle, balls, beanbags torches and devil sticks. expect because the items were stolen. If the club received additional funding from Student Senate, Gramarye said it would definitely replace the stolen items. However, Gramarye said if Student Senate didn't give them additional funds the club would come up with the money on its own through fundraisers and additional performances. "It will happen eventually," Gramarye said. The students reported the theft to the Omaha police department, but Gramarye and Barger said they weren't expecting anything. Duermeier said the club received a donation of $10 from a woman who said she heard about the robberv "People have contacted us saying they want to help out," Gramarye said.

But this summer, he's been visiting Watkins Memorial Health Center, east of Robinson Center, more frequently because of a sore throat and irritated eyes and nose. His allergies were worse at the beginning of the summer, but Cartin said he noticed things floating around lately, and thought that might have had something to do with it. "If you can see stuff," Cartin said, "I think it's pretty bad." Allergens in the air vary constantly, but this year has had higher-than-average amounts of tree and grass pollen, said Dr. James Ransom, an allergist at the Allergy and Asthma Clinic in Topeka, 1123 S.W. Gage Blvd. In addition to the pollen, outdoor mold is also negatively affecting people, the worst of which was a mold called "alternaria," Ransom said. Agricultural or soil mold is one of the most prominent allergens in the air, especially because of the wheat harvest, which tends to scatter mold spores into the air, he said.

Ben Combes, Inman senior, said that his allergies have lasted longer into the summer than normal. Combes said that it was inconvenient for him because he'd be sitting in class and his nose would start running. He said he always had to carry tissues with him. "Actually, it's kind of embarrassing." Combes said. People who have never had allergy symptoms before could usually tell the difference between those symptoms and other illnesses. Allergies were usually coupled with itchy eyes and nose, and fevers were often an indication of a cold or flu, Dr. Robert Brown, staff physician at Watkins said. Matt Milburn, Rogers, Ark., senior, said that whenever he'd been outside he'd been sneezing more than usual and his eyes were watery. He said that if he didn't take medication first, he'd suffer all day. His symptoms didn't even exist before this summer. "I don't like it," Milburn said. I've never been a big pill person. It's just another thing I have to add to my list of things to do every day." And the pill taking may not stop. Ransom said tree pollen reflects the moisture from the previous year, and with this information people could assume that the fall weeds would be "troublesome" as well. —Edited by Janiece Gatson DON'S AUTO CENTER "For all your repair needs" --- •Import and Domestic Repair & Maintenance •Machine Shop Service •Computer Diagnostics T 841-4833 920 E. 11th Street SUMMERTIME! 2006 FIFA WORLD CUP All Games!

Manhattan attorney, Robert Portroff, a Kansas Law graduate, bought the property that houses The Crossing, 618 W. 12th St., from Lida Martin according to Dave Boulter, owner of The Crossing. Potroff did not return repeated calls. INTENTIONS Potrott has indicated that he intends to tear down the building to build a five-story residential complex with retail stores on the bottom floor, Boulter said. The Crossing's owner added that some things would need to change for that to happen, including the sale of the property next to it, occupied by Yellow Sub and Head Rush. Some zoning laws would also have to change. Boulter said. At this point, that is all speculation. Potrott has not bought the Yellow Sub property. The Crossing still belongs to Boulter and zoning law changes are only being discussed by the city. only being discussed. "I don't know what's going to happen," Boulter said. If Yellow Sub left its current location at 624 W.12th St., it would be the sandwich shop's decision, Bob Jones, Yellow Sub's owner said. Jones said he had a long-term lease with the property owner Jeff Morrow and as far as the future is concerned, nothing has changed. Jeff said it's business as usual. Jones said, indicating that Morrow continues to tell him that he doesn't want to redevelop the corner of 12th and Indiana streets. As far as Jones is concerned, nothing is really going on. The developer is exploring opportunities, he said. Before Pottroff purchased the property, Boulter was in negotiations with a group of people to sell The Crossing, Andrew Lynn, a 2001 Washburn University graduate who now lives in Orlando, Fla., was one of those people. Lynn spoke on behalf of the group Beanie's Crossing LLC. Lynn and his partners were still considering purchasing The Crossing and operating it as long as the lease would allow. A decision could come this week, he said. PETITION University of Kansas students and Lawrence residents have spoken out about the possible demolition of The Crossing for an apartment complex in an online petition created by Robbie Gieser, Andover sophomore. Gieser started the petition after reading about The Crossing's possible fate. He said he did it because nobody else had. "I think he'll do what's practical from a real estate point of view, but don't a way to do something from a Gieser said that he thinks Lawrence, or any town for that matter, should keep the things that make it unique and historic. Boulter isn't as concerned about the future or legacy of The Crossing as those who signed the petition. He described Pottroff as the atypical developer because he's not a "bottom line" guy. He looks beyond the numbers, Boulter said. More than 4,700 people signed the petition, which has since been disabled and is no longer available to be viewed or signed. "If this could sway the new owners to keep it running, that would be something truly special," Gieser said. Boulter said he thought it would work out for everyone and people would be pleased with the way it turned out. sentimental point of view," he said. A BIT OF HISTORY The Rock Chalk Cafe — known today as The Crossing — has endured five other names and several changes in ownership and numerous changes to the type of establishment it has been since it first opened in 1923. One thing has remained constant. The little watering hole at the corner of 12th and Indiana streets has always been a favorite of KU students, "It's been a watering hole for both students and horses for some time," Shipley said. What is now known as Yellow Sub began when The Crossing was called The Flagship International in the mid-1970s. At that time, The Crossing was remolded so the front resembled the back of a ship, Shipley said. Yellow Sub moved to its current location in the late-1970s. The Crossing has also seen a number of different types of clientele walk through its door. It's been a hippie bar, a punk bar and a fraternity and sorority bar during its time. Boulter said. He added one of the goals NAMES OVER TIME Rock Chalk Cafe 1923-1970 The New Haven 1971-1973 The Flagship International 1974-1978 The Catfish Bar and Grill 1979-1980 The Hawks' Crossing 1981-1985 The Rock Chalk Bar 1986-1988 The Crossing 1988-present With the future of The Crossing in doubt, in doubt also are the memories that could have been created there. He said people would come in who were 70 years old and say, "Yeah; I remember this place." Aaron Blair, Leavenworth senior and manager, who has been a bartender at The Crossing for the past three years has heard a number of stories while standing behind the bar, which is littered with so many years of signatures and drawings, it might as well be graffiti. alumni and Lawrence residents. The land where The Crossing now sits was once the site of the University's campus stables. Students rode their horses up 12th street, which was the least sloped street leading up to campus. They would leave their horses and walk to class, according to Jacob Shipley, a 2001 alumnus and former manager of The Crossing. no way that matters. "There are no stereotypes." Boulter said. "No one group dominates The Crossing anymore." when he and his partners bought The Crossing was that they wanted it to be a bar that all types of personalities could coexist in. It was important to them to do away with any type-casting. LOST MEMORIES A man proposed to his wife and they both wrote their name on the bar, he said. They came back after they were married and cut off the piece of wood. "The Crossing is as much of an institution as anything else at KU," Tony Esparza, a 2001 alumnus said. "It's hard to know that nothing is how it was when you went through." Esparza said he used to live two blocks away on Ohio Street and would stop by The Crossing on his way home from class on Fridays. Lisa Meinen, a 2005 alumna said The Crossing was close enough to campus that a student could grab a beer between classes. tween classes. "What other bar is on the bus line?" she said. Blair said it's a tradition thing. He imagined visiting The Crossing when he returned to campus for a football game or to see friends. "I'm not going to have that," Blair said, adding that it wasn't just him, but the whole University that would miss out. "People are going to walk by and talk about what happened. They're going to say 'The Crossing used to be here.'" - Edited by Janiece Gatson TURE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 11 "It's been a watering hole for both students and horses for some time." —Jacob Shipley, 2001 alumnus and former manager of The Crossing I'll take the cup.

"Superman Returns" took in $52.15 million over opening weekend, lifting its five-day total since its debut Wednesday to $84.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. That puts the Warner Bros. film ahead of the premiere of last year's "Batman Begins," another Warner superhero revival, which took in $48.7 million over its opening weekend and $72.9 million in its first five days. But "Superman Returns" finished far behind Sony's "Spider-Man 2," the record-holder for best five-day openings, with $152.4 million over Fourth of July weekend in 2004. The weekend's other new wide release, 20th Century Fox's "The Devil Wears Prada," debuted far stronger than expected to come in second with $27 million. Industry analysts had expected the movie, starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, to debut at less than $20 million. The previous weekend's No. 1 movie, Sony's Adam Sandler comedy "Click," fell to third place with $19.4 million, raising its 10-day total to $77.9 million. Hollywood's overall revenues rose for the seventh straight weekend. The top 12 movies took in $140.1 million, up 5 percent from Fourth of July weekend last year. If estimates hold, it would be the second-best Fourth of July weekend ever, behind the $158.4 million haul in 2004, according to Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations. The first big-screen adventure for the Man of Steel in 19 years, "Superman Returns" traces the comic-book hero's homecoming after a mysterious five-year absence. Played by newcomer Brandon Routh, Superman finds lady love Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) has a son and a new man in her life, while archenemy Lex Luther (Kevin Spacey) has hatched a plot to control the world. Directed by Bryan Singer, who made the blockbusters "X-Men" and "X2: X-Men United," "Superman Returns" earned favorable reviews. A Superman fan since boyhood, Singer passed on doing a third "X-Men" to make "Superman Returns" after Warner let him throw out previous Man of Steel scripts and start from scratch with his own story. "Bryan is just such a bright and creative individual. He had his own vision, and he was right and did a great job," said Dan Fellman, Warner head of distribution. The movie should hit $110 million by Tuesday, Fellman said. "Superman Returns" had big returns in 76 huge-screen IMAX theaters, most of which ran the movie incorporating 3-D footage in many action sequences. About $5 million of the film's grosses came from IMAX theaters. "The Devil Wears Prada," adapted from Lauren Weisberger's best-selling novel, stars Hathaway as an aspiring journalist who reluctantly takes a job at a top fashion magazine, where she works for a tyrannical editor (Streep). The movie's audience was four-fifths women, who turned out in far bigger numbers than 20th Century Fox had predicted. "I don't know what to say. This is beyond my expectations," said Bruce Snyder, the studio's head of distribution. TICKET SALES Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc. Final figures through July 4 will be released today. 1. "Superman Returns," $52.15 million. 2. "The Devil Wears Prada," $27 million. 3. "Click," $19.4 million. 4. "Cars," $14 million. 5. "Nacho Libre," $6.2 million. 6. "The Lake House," $4.5 million. 7. "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift," $4.4 million. 8. "Waist Deep," $3.3 million. 9. "The Break-Up." $2.8 million. 10. "The Da Vinci Code," $2.3 million. BEAT THE SUMMER HEAT WITH A SMOOTHIE!!

And given that this time of year is the slowest of the sports calendar, I'm going to share with you a little trip I made to Tiger Town, aka Columbia, Mo., this past weekend to participate in a wedding, which had both the intensity and aura of a championship tilt. BY FRED A. DAVIS III fdavis@kansan.com For starters, my connection to the wedding was my cousin, Dan Davis, the groom — the opening day starter if you will. Dan played football at Mizzou for three years and four of the eight groomsmen were former Mizzou footballers as well. Yeah, eight groomsmen, needless to say, the average height and weight of this wedding party compared favorably to any other wedding party in America that day. So where was I in the pecking order? The best man. My job? Well, considering this was the first time I'd ever been in a wedding, save for my stellar performance as a ring bearer 20 years ago, I didn't really know. This is what I was told: take care of the groom, hand a ring to the priest and give a toast at the reception. I could do that.

As the best man, you have to make sure that nothing goes wrong, i.e. no drunken escapades the night before the wedding, no losing the rings before the wedding and without question, you've got to nail the toast. The toast is like the bottom of the ninth. There's two outs and you've got one more guy to get out and then it's celebration time. Tears, champagne and people are singing your praises. Screw it up? Then you're remembered as the guy who was the lone bad spot in what was an otherwise perfect day. And for as long as that wedding is remembered, or anniversaries as they tend to be called, it's always brought up. "That sure was a great wedding until Fred gave that awful speech about the goat-tipping at the reception... What the hell was that?" So that was it for me. Don't ruin the wedding. Months of preparation by people who have a much deeper interest in the day than me are leaving it up to one guy to seal the deal. Wow. Saturday. Wedding day. Game time. The wedding went off without a hitch. The I do's were flawlessly executed, tears were shed and the rings were handed to the priest as smoothly as a Trent Green to Larry Johnson exchange. Then came the pictures. Uhh, those were more like two-a-day practices. You have to participate, you're not really happy about it but you know it was worth the effort after it's over. After the pictures came the trip to the reception. While we had some transportation issues - arriving to the reception late - it was okay because all the while I'm getting into closer mode... My time to shine is coming. We arrive at the reception. The place is packed. The lights are dimmed and we're welcomed in with the opening music from the Chicago Bulls introductions... The atmosphere was electric. Toast time. People took their seats, some food was eaten and then the moment of truth came. The bride's closer by committee - maid and matron of honor - went first, putting more pressure on me. 1-2-3 inning. Sat 'em down in order! The ladies did a fabulous job with a poem that they both recited and told stories that melted the coldest of hearts. Now it was my turn. I grabbed the mic confidently and delved into a quick two or three tales of Dan and my's hardships growing up, softening the crowd before I hit 'em with the 100 mph heater - a 14-line sonnet - rhyme scheme intact - that I penned that morning. Their bats didn't even make it off their shoulders. Frozen. Hands clapped, more tears were shed and champagne was toasted. A celebration followed and I retired to the showers... well, I retired somewhere. -Davis is a Topeka senior in journalism and english.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 2006 ENTERTAINMENT THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 15 Bush, Koizumi go walking in Memphis By DEB RIECHMANN The Associated Press MEMPHIS, Tenn. — It didn't take much coaxing from President Bush to get Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi to croon some Elvis tunes Friday at the king of rock 'n' roll's Graceland mansion. 101. TOMMY HENRY "You're a pretty good Elvis singer" Bush told Koizumi, an avid Elvis Presley fan. That was all the prodding the free wheeling prime minister needed. "Love me tender, love me sweet," Koizumi sang. "We need a karaoke machine," joked Priscilla Presley, mother of Presley's only child, Lisa Marie. Koizumi donned a pair of sunglasses that Elvie wore in the 1972 concert film, "Elvis on Tour," and hugged Lisa Marie. "Hold me close. Hold me tight," he sang to her. The visit to Graceland was the highlight of the outgoing Japanese leader's two-day visit with Bush, a kind of sayonara summit to illustrate how their personal friendship has helped bring U.S.-Japan relations closer than at any time since the end of World War II. "Then Koizumi bent down, swung his arm as if strumming a guitar and sang, "Glory, glory, halleujah," a refrain from the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," also part of the Presley repertoire. "This visit here shows that not only am I personally fond of the prime minister, but the ties between our peoples are very strong as well," Bush said. It was Bush's first visit to Presley's white brick mansion. "My first visit, too," Koizumi said, standing in a gaudy, wood-paneled den known as the Jungle Room, a place where Presley hung out with his buddies. "It's like a dream — with President Bush and Presley's daughter." Bush, first lady Laura Bush and Koizumi drove through the gates of Graceland in a shiny, black limousine adorned with the flags of both nations. It was as if they were making a formal diplomatic visit. After they got out, the scene turned surreal. Here was Bush, who didn't stop off at the Taj Mahal while in India, touring the home of a music star who died in his bathroom of heart disease and drug abuse in 1977. Instead of walking down red carpets to review troops, Bush and Koizumi strode over green shag that lined the floors and ceiling of the den. THE BETTLEMAN SHOW Instead of elegant furniture and chandeliers, they posed for photos in a room decorated with white ceramic monkeys and wooden chairs with armrests carved in the shape of animal heads. Graceland was closed to tourists when Lisa Marie and her mother escorted the dignitaries around the 14-acre estate, showing them the glossy black baby-grand piano, a 15-foot white sofa in the living room, Presley's burial site and his gold records, guitars and costumes.

The Bush-Koizumi tour through the Memphis manse wrapped up two days of consultations between the staunch allies.

Frustration dealing with a friend or trying to force your way might not be worth it. Tonight: Quality time with someone you care about. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) **** Pressure might force you to want to stall. You might not even want to go to work, or you might want to vanish out of the limelight. Whatever you choose is fine and A-OK. Some time away from the pressure might be just what the doctor ordered. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Tonight: Say yes. ★★★ Pace yourself. What occurs in the morning might simply be a preview of what lies ahead. Wanting to step away from problems is a very normal reaction. Don't put yourself down and allow these events to unfurl. 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Tonight: Get some extra R and R. CANCER (June 21-July 22) **** Money matters could be subject to revival and a different point of view. What is clear is that you don't have enough of a grasp on a changing situation. A risk could be ill-advised. Walk the conservative path. Tonight: Easy does it. LEO (July 23-Aug.22) **** Extremes punctuate your mood and decisions. Many people might tell you what is going on, but you don't want to hear it. Think positively. Your temper easily rages if you feel attacked. Maybe the motives involved are different. Tonight: At home. VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ****If you choose to kiss diplomacy goodbye, any additional flourish could add to the fiery nature of the situation. Facts, just facts, dear Virgo. Handling uncomfortable feelings could be a different issue. Tonight: Take your time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ Your expenses could easily get out of whack. You might want to think more carefully before you leap into action. Hassles greet those who are unwilling to get past their problems. Someone could be in a bad mood. Know when to step out of the line of fire. *Tonight: As you like.* SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov.21) ★★★ Investigate what might be happening with others. Pressure builds as you juggle home and family. You have a lot to do, but perhaps you still want to take your time handling different issues. Precision goes far. Tonight All smiles. Tonight: All smiles. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★ Take your time and think rather than walk into a provocative situation. You might be better off working behind the scenes or closing your door. Though you might not be able to be as expansive as you would like, you still get a lot done. Tonight: Get some extra sleep. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19) ★★★★ You might be ready to move on a key project or bring friends together. Someone key to this operation might be dragging his or her heels. Use this slowdown to positively enhance what you have in mind. You can never be too sure of yourself. Tonight: Have a good time with friends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18) **** Take a step forward and assume a leadership position. Though you could deal with some touchy or negative people, you easily get past any hassles. You deal with someone directly, though he or she might not be able to understand where you are coming from. Tonight: A must show. PISCES (Feb.19-March 20) ★★★ Take the high road. Think positively about a new break or different approach. You could pressure yourself even more than necessary. Know when to cut back and say enough. You have style and know-how. Tonight: Take in a different perspective. crossword. 1 ACROSS 1 Beetle Bailey's sack 4 "— Miniver" 7 Roses, earlier 8 — Falls, S.D. 10 Eagle's nest 11 Open a package 13 Type-setting apprentice 16 Id counterpart 17 Smooth to the touch 18 Lemieux milieu 19 Quite 20 Vegan's no-no | | | 1 | 2 | 3 | | | 4 | 5 | 6 | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | 7 | | | | | 8 | | | | 9 | | | 10 | | | | | | 11 | | | | 12 | | | 13 | | | | | 14 | | | | | | 15 | | 16 | | | | 17 | | | | | | 18 | | | | | | 19 | | | | | | 20 | | | | | 21 | 22 | | | | | 23 | 24 | | | | | 25 | | | | | | 26 | | | | | | | 27 | | | | | 28 | 29 | | | | 30 | 31 | 32 | | 33 | | | 34 | | | | | | 35 | | | | | 36 | | | | | | | 37 | | | | | | 38 | | | | | | 39 | | | | | | | 40 | | | | | 41 | | | | | 21 Costume 23 Growls 25 Coastal bird 26 Hens' hangout 27 Obey the coxswain 28 Apportion 30 Big fuss 33 Protector 36 They end “Q.E.D.” 37 Tied 38 Mongol tents 39 Dregs 40 Em halves 41 Golfer Ernie DOWN 1 Unusual item 2 Valhalla VIP 3 Dangerous flies 4 Capital of Belarus 5 Boisterous 6 Foolproof 7 Titanic downfall? 8 Menacing 9 Bandleader Cugat 10 Mimic 12 Text measures 14 Green acres? 15 Allow 19 Compete 20 Chart 21 Cluster 22 Not alert 23 Continue 24 Famous 25 Work unit 26 Elegance 28 Decorate 29 Raises 30 Malarial symptoms 31 Hideaways 32 In need of repair 34 Libertine 35 Yuletide refrain sudoku Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers.

Green is continuously increasing in popularity as he tours with artists such as Kenny Chesney, Gretchen Wilson and Keith Urban. The country artist has appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman and has also been featured in magazines including People and Esquire. SPOTLIGHT: Pat Green Green, who is originally from Texas, didn't begin his singing career at the top of the celebrity ladder. Instead of immediately shooting for fame and fortune, Green took a common-appeal approach to his job. Playing live performances to win the support of fellow Texans, Green was able to gather a group of loyal followers. His wish was to produce independent albums. This aspiration led him to sign his first major label contract with a company in New York. Green was able to have more freedom with his songs by selecting the smaller label. During his contract in New York, Green recorded his first five albums: Live at Billy Bob's Texas, Three Days, Wave on Wave, Don't Break My Heart Again and Lucky Ones. Recently, Green signed with BNA Records and is now striving to make his name known to everyone. Even though he has received three Grammy nominations and is going to be touring with the Dave Matthews Band in August, Green still hasn't reached as many people as he led like to. Green's new album, Cannonball, will be hitting stores this August. "Feels Just Like It Should," the first single from the upcoming album, was the highest-debuting single on the Country Charts this year, making its appearance at No. 32. If this is any indication of the album's success, then Cannonball should give Green the extra push he needs to achieve the level of major country star. The show is open to all ages, and tickets cost $19.00. Tickets are available through ticketmaster.com or by calling (816) 561-2560. —Hali Baker Weekly Specials @ Kansan.com South Point 785-843-6446 Thu Fri Sat Sun Mon Tues Wed FREE FREE FREE Ask us what's FREE FREE FREE FREE OPEN HOUSE 11-5 FREE FREE FREE Ask us what's FREE FREE FREE Ask us what's FREE FREE FREE Ask us what's FREE Check us out: M-F 9-6 Sat 11-5 Check us out: M-F 9-6 Sat 11-5 Check us out: M-F 9-6 Sat 11-5FREE Check us out: M-F 9-6 Sat 11-5FREE Check us out: M-F 9-6 Sat 11-5 $2 ALMOST ANYTHING $2.50 16oz Domestic bottles $3 32oz BIG BEERS $3 Vodka & Energy $5 Bloody Mary's $5 ANY PITCHER $2 Domestic Pints $2 Wells $2 Domestic Bottles $2 UV Vodka $3 Domestic Pitchers $3 Malibu Drinks THE VIRGINIA CITY Wed Aberdeen Apartments & Townhouses 2500 Whalers Dr. Lakewood, CO 80219 Lawrence/Apartments.com --- Oberdeen Apartments Hart Townhomes 785-749-1288 serviceApartment.com $500 FREE RENT $500 FREE RENT $500 FREE RENT $500 FREE RENT $500 FREE RENT OPEN HOUSE: M-F 9-6 Sat 11-3 Sun 12-3 OPEN HOUSE: M-F 9-6 Sat 11-3 Sun 12-3 OPEN HOUSE: M-F 9-6 Sat 11-3 Sun 12-3 OPEN HOUSE: M-F 9-6 Sat 11-3 Sun 12-3 OPEN HOUSE: M-F 9-6 Sat 11-3 Sun 12-3 CLOSED FOR PRIVATE PARTIES CLOSED FOR PRIVATE PARTIES Karaoke Night $2 Jumbo Margaritas Alternatives Lifestyles Night $2 Cosmopolitans LADIES NIGHT $2 YOU CALL IT $2 Jagerbombs $1 Socolimes $2 Double wells $2 Jagerbombs $2 Socolimes BILL & KEEP $1.00 OFF Small & Regular Draws $2.00 Rolling Rocks or Greenlights $2.50 Mexican Beers $3.00 Bloody Marys $.99 Margaritas $.99 Margaritas $.99 Margaritas Sheridan's FRIOZEN CUSTARD

"Boots" Adams Alumni Center at KU that will go toward a landscaping project and an outdoor event's plaza. "We are grateful to Larry and Nancy for their wonderful gift and their many years of loyalty as KU volunteers," said Kevin Corbett, Alumni Association president in a press release. "Larry and Nancy set the standard for KU hospitality, and we'll continue that tradition with great events on the Borden Family Plaza." Larry Borden was a 1962 graduate with a degree in business and he received his master's in 1967. He was the chairman of the Alumni Association's national board in 2004 to 2005. SPORTS BRIEFS The Borden Family Plaza was designed to accompany the new Docking Family Gateway at the Northeast entrance to campus on Jayhawk Boulevard. The plaza will play host to outdoor events. The donation also provided the Alumni Association with enough funding to plant flowers, add lightning and take down fencing and pillars in the front of the Alumni Center. —Tom Slaughter SPORTS BRIEFSE Check out what's going on in the world of sports.

The program also supports NASA's plan to return astronauts to the moon, called Vision for Space Exploration. A panel of judges chose the 28 grant recipients from a group of 99 applicants, some of which were universities while others were companies and labs. Costas Tsatsoulis, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, will lead the research here at the University with the $638,296 grant. Tsatsoulis was out of the country and could not be reached for comment. Chancellor adds, discards positions Jack Weinstein Reorganization of the Office of External Affairs has eliminated the position of executive vice chancellor, and has redistributed duties among existing positions. The changes will begin July 15. Paul Cartt, former executive vice chancellor, will work alongside Chancellor Hemen- way to help him with major issues of the university, as a special assistant to the chancellor "Given the realities of KU, I agree with the decision." Cartar said. "KU is an institution with a lot of different pieces and things going on." Other changes include the reporting line. Individuals who previously reported to the executive vice chancellor will now report to Lynn Bretz, the new director of university communications. She will report directly to Chancellor Hemenway. Cartar said as soon as he knows he is not able to help the process of the program he will be the first to say it's time for him to leave the university. The only person who will not report to Bretz is Keith Yehle, the director of government relations, who will report directly to the chancellor. "I am a KU graduate and Lawrence native, I bleed crimson and blue. I came to KU for one reason only, to help execute its mission and deliver value to Kansas," Cartar said. Chancellor Hemenway created the position of executive vice chancellor years ago to generate structure within the university, as well as handle government relations and marketing.

In recent years, Weaver Courtyard a - campus landmark adjacent to the Museum of Anthropology - has looked shaggy and run-down. Years of inattention combined with the microburst in March have left the area in dismal condition. The University of Kansas, however, has plans to rejuvenate the area and turn the downtrodden spot into the beautiful courtyard it once was. The University has completed the planning stages for the courtyard beautification, but the actual reconstruction will probably not be completed until the fall or early spring, Jeffery B. Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor, said. There is no specific timetable for completion because the work needs to be done in several stages, Weinberg said. The first stage will revolve around replacing the red, square tiling of the courtyard floor. The second stage will involve the ordering and installation of benches into the courtyard. The final stage will involve the placement of new artwork. The new artwork was donated by the Spencer Museum of Art. It consists of four modern pieces sculpted by Kansas City, Mo., artist Richard Hollander. The courtyard was dedicated on June 19, 1960, by the Weaver family of Lawrence and the M.T. Veatch family of Kansas City, Mo., in memoriam of Art Weaver, who founded Weaver's Department Store Inc., 901 Massachusetts St. The original courtyard was dedicated with three works of art: a 17th century fountain piece by Legros, a sculpture entitled "Resurrection" by German sculptor Georg Kolbe and a bust of Pierre- Auguste Renoir by French painter and sculptor Aristide Maillol. The Maillol bust was stolen in December 1967. The remaining works were removed on April 21, 1970, and were placed in the art museum. They have remained there since. Weinberg said that this time the University was going to take measures to assure that none of the new artwork could be stolen. "After the restoration, the Hollander pieces will be anchored permanently so that there's no reasonable possibility of theft," Weinberg said. While the idea of reinstalling the Kolbe sculpture and the Legros fountain piece would seem ideal, Weinberg said that the pieces were simply too valuable and too delicate to go back outside. He estimated that they were originally worth $5,000, but as the value of art has increased in recent years, they are now probably worth more than $250,000. Weinberg estimated the project would cost between $10,000 and $12,000. The costs are being funded by private donations. Joe Flannery, president and CEO of Weaver's, expressed excitement over the planned improvements to the courtyard, and said Weaver's was making a donation to the University for the project. "It's going to be a beautiful courtyard for people to enjoy," Flannery said. "Naturally, we're ecstatic about it." —Edited by Dani Hurst SUMMERTIME!

A Manhattan attorney bought the building and plans to build a five-story commercial and residential development. BY JACK WEINSTEIN jweinstein@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER Each day, it appears The Crossing's best days are behind it. On June 30, a preliminary proposal was submitted to the Lawrence/Douglas County planning office for the redevelopment of the corner at 12th and Indiana streets where The Crossing, 618 W. 12th St., Yello Sub, 624 W. 12th St., and Head Rush, 622 W. 12th St., currently reside. The plan was submitted by Skyscapes of Lawrence LLC, a development company owned by Manhattan attorney Robert Pottroff, and Jeff and Kathy Morrow, Yello Sub and Head Rush property owners. When asked if the Morrows and Pottroff were officially partners on the proposal, Jeff Morrow said he and his wife and Pottroff were "co-applicants." Pottroff said he and the Morrows were "business associates," and added that there are very few partnerships in the world. "It's a term of art," Pottroff said referring to the word partnership. Terms of association aside, the Morrows and Pottroff own the property that occupies the space for the proposed building. The proposal, authored by Incite Design Studio of Lenexa, requires that The Crossing, Dingo's and the parking lot behind Dingo's be removed. Dingo's is located behind The Crossing and has been closed for more than a year. The building occupied by Yello Sub and Head Rush and the house behind Yello Sub at 1142 Indiana also need to be removed. A five ture would have more than just one zoning use. The area at 12th and Indiana Streets is currently zoned for commercial use with The Crossing, Yello Sub and Head "The code just needed to be changed." Mike Goans, chairman of the Lawrence Board of Zoning appeals story, "mixed use" structure could then be built at the corner. "Mixed use" is a zoning term that means the proposed struc- Rush and is zoned as residential dormitory for the apartment complexes that surround it. The proposed structure would combine the two and is called a planned commercial development district. It requires that the corner be rezoned to accommodate the proposal. The plans indicated that the building would extend from the edge of the Hawks Pointe III apartment complex parking lot to Indiana and 12th Street to the edge of Oread Heights Apartments, 1140 Indiana. The preliminary plans for the 34,000 square-foot building would include 15 condominiums of the two- and three-bedroom variety, space for a sit-down restaurant, a fast food restaurant and a specialty retail shop. Parking spaces would line Indiana and 12th streets for the retail shops and an underground two-story parking garage would give its residents off-street parking. The plan indicates that the sit-down restaurant may be used for a coffee shop, the fast food restaurant as a deli and the specialty retail shop as a hair salon. The intended purposes were listed in parentheses. The intended uses for the commercial space were subject to change in the preliminary proposal. The submission of the plan came before a city-wide zoning change was adopted. The change was implemented because the old city code was outdated, Holly Krebs, chairwoman of the planning commission said. She added that it had been in use for the past 40 years and it needed a "sweeping revision." "It was a hodgepodge of additions and amendments," she said. "The code just needed to be changed." Mike Goans, chairman of the Lawrence Board of Zoning appeals, said.

Marshall is Cannistra's service dog, who has a torn ACL in his back left leg that's in need of an expensive surgery. Can- "Marshall is just the light of my life." LORRAINE CANNISTRA Marshall developed arthritis in all four of his legs over the years, and the wear and tear on his legs snapped his back ACL. He enjoys life and lives it to the fullest even though he has trouble would do whatever needs to be done to get him better." nistra doesn't have enough money for the surgery, but is willing to do anything for her friend, even if it means trying to complete a 15-mile Roll-A-Thon in her wheelchair for donations. "Marshall is just the light of my life," Cannistra said. "I walking, Cannistra said. "I guess I can learn a lot from him," she said. So Cannistra proposed this: shed try to complete a 15-mile Roll-A-Thon with the hopes that shed get enough donations to fund Marshall's surgery. She said the operation would cost about $1,500, but she wanted to raise more than that to cover any potential complications that may result from the surgery. To put that distance into perspective, a 15-mile trip would be about one or two miles more than a roundtrip from the Kansas Union to Clinton Lake, 872 N. 1402 Road. Cannistra said she thinks it'll take her a long time, but she plans on pacing herself and taking breaks as needed. All doubts aside, though, Cannistra is still sure this is what she wants to do. The Roll-A-Thon will take place July 15 at 6:30 a.m. Cannistra will roll 10 laps through the Naismith Valley Park, 24th street and Naismith Drive. She's not sure if she'll make it through the whole 15 miles, but hopes there will be people there to support her in her endeavor. —Edited by Janiece Gatson (1) Contributed photo Lorraine Cannistra will wheel 15 miles this Saturday to raise money for her dog, Marshall, so he can have surgery to repair a torn ACL.

The red curtain opens. Out walks Mrs. Roders, played by Lauren Marshall, Salina senior. suma senior. "There is so much to do and nowhere to start," Marshall said to Mr. Roders, played by Lawrence Henderson, Lansing senior. So much to do is exactly how the cast and crew of Kansas Mystery Theatre felt this past month as they prepared for the simultaneous productions of "And Then There Were None" and "Something's Afoot." Auditions for the summer cast started at the end of May, and 10 individuals were selected. 1905 Those 10 people, along with crew, have put in six to nine hours every day rehearsing for the shows for the past months, according to John Gronbeck-Tedesco, director of "And Then There Were None." Many said they thought the process of learning two characters was simple, but time-consuming. University Theatre artistic director John Staniumas opted for a change in this summer's productions. Staniumas decided to create a repertory company — the same actors perform two dramas at the same time — and thought murder mysteries would provide entertainment for the summer. From left to right, actors Carter Waite, Courtney Schweitzer and Lawrence Henderson looks at the dead body of Erik LaPointe during a dress rehearsal of "And Then There Were None" last Wednesday in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall, just north of Allen Fieldhouse. The show is part of Kansas Mystery Theatre, which runs along with the show "Something's Afoot" through July 23. "And Then There Were None," originally "Ten Little Indians" by Agatha Christie, is a murder mystery that keeps the audience guessing which character is the murderer. "Something's Afoot" is a satirical musical based on Agatha Christie's mysteries. Both performances are at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall, just north of Alien Fieldhouse. Joshua Bickel/KANSAN Gronbeck-Tedesco said the most difficult part wasn't the memorization of each show, but the hard work put into it. The actors weren't concerned, however. They were ready for the real thing. "It's getting old performing in that big open space with no one watching." Laura Fleming, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, senior, said. Marshall agreed. "I always get opening night jitters," she said. "But I think we're ready." On the weekend of July 8, the theatre performed "And Then There Were None," and beginning July 14 it will perform "Something's Afoot" The challenging part comes July 18 through July 23, when the cast and crew will switch plays every other night, starting with "And Then There Were None." Acting as a repertory company gives experience to the students in performing more than one show at a time, something that most professional companies do during the summer. "It's really great training," Gronbeck-Tedesco said. "It takes principles you learned and applies them to different stuff." For example, different theatre styles. Kelly Vogel, costume designer and Lawrence graduate student, said the worst part of designing costumes for two different shows was differentiating between the actors and the characters they play. She summed up the last month in one repeated word: confusing. Carter Royce Waite, Falmouth, Maine, senior, said he keeps his characters apart by the way he speaks. One character speaks nasally, while the SEE THEATRE ON PAGE 9 The Best Nest in Town Variety of floor plans to choose from!

WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2006 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 7 PROFILE Student recalls baseball days BY ADRIENNE BOMMARITO abommarito@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER Jeff Morel used to play baseball competitively. That is, until he came to the University of Kansas. After touring the campus as an incoming freshman, Morel chose to attend KU rather than Fort Hays State, where he was offered a scholarship to play baseball. The KU campus, along with the friends he made through fraternity recruitment, convinced him to bleed crimson and blue. "I decided to give up baseball and pursue a career in a fraternity," he said jokingly. Even though his competitive days are done, Morel still keeps active by playing intramural baseball with his fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi, 1602 W. 15th St., refereeing basketball games and planning his post-college dream: opening a baseball academy. Morel started his baseball career at the young age of 2, when he still needed a stand to hold his baseball. And he just kept playing. During high school, Morel dedicated himself to baseball. He trained, strengthened his body and competed Now a junior in communications. Morel is looking into the future to create a baseball academy like the K.C. Barnstormers, the academy he trained at in high school. to better himself and earn an athletic scholarship. Barnstormers, 9825 W.67th St. in Merriam, offers lessons to those wanting to improve their baseball skills Lessons are offered to people of all ages, but the real competitiveness is found in the high school players who try out for one of the four teams. The competition is extreme and Karl Carswell, owner of the Barnstormers, had to turn some people away. "He wants to develop a core group of players to work well," Morel said. Back then, a regular summer week was hectic for Morel. Fielding and hitting practices were Monday through Wednesday, and tournaments were Thursday through Saturday. The teams often traveled to Tennessee, Oklahoma and Missouri for games. Morel said owning his own baseball academy would be the best of both worlds. He could own a business and also have the perks of a hands-on job. When he reminisced on his Barn-stormer days, Morel remembered the challenges in training, but recalled the on-the-road stories with a smile, the ones of prankster high school boys cooped up in a hotel room. "I could wear gym shorts and a T-shirt to work everyday," he said. As a part of Barnstormers, recruiters saw the players compete regularly, something Morel also plans on doing for his academy. Twice a year Carswell had a showcase weekend when he invited recruiters from surrounding colleges to watch his high school teams play each other. However, Morel said there were recruiters at almost every tournament game. Nowadays, despite his love for baseball, Morel said he referees basketball games instead of baseball because of the conditions baseball referees deal with. "Baseball is hard on the body, standing around for hours," Morel said. "It's like you a spectator with pads." For now, Morel will continue to play intramural baseball with his fraternity and dream of the day he can wear gym shorts and T-shirts to work. -Edited by Dani Hurst BARNSTORMERS BASEBALL Joahua Bickel/KANSAN Baseball has always been a big part of Jeff Morel, Lenexa junior.

When an agreement couldn't be made, the University declared that the two parties had reached a stalemate and a mediator from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service was hired. The first mediation was held on June 27. Some smaller topics were agreed upon, but mediation will continue on July 12 to discuss topics both parties think have more value. "All the things we care about, we are still working on," Kyle Waugh, mediation volunteer of the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition, said. procedure and merit raises. Standing topics include the limited amount of time GTAs have in which to graduate, the grievance The University set 10 semesters as the length of time GTAs have to finish their graduate degree. However, many think the limit is impossible because of the requirements individual departments have established. "You can't just wave your magic wand and be done," Katy Martin, mediation volunteer of the GTAC, said. Waugh and Martin both think the process of earning a graduate degree in 10 semesters is difficult and affects the campus as a whole. Having a set time limit removed the most experienced teachers for undergraduate students from the classrooms. Those teachers are still at the University completing their degree, but they can no longer teach, Martin said. Lynn Bretz, director of University Communications, said the University thought the limit was doable. For those individuals unable to complete their degree in 10 semesters, the University offers other options, such as being a graduate research assistant. "Graduate teaching assistants are not a long-term employment,"Bretz said. Martin agreed. Brian Azcona, graduate teaching assistant of sociology, and other GTAs protest in front of Strong Hall February 14, 2006. The protesters called for the elimination of the 10-semester limit on GTA appointments. Azcona wore a pig mask and a sign on his back that read "KU Bureaucrat". "None of us want to hang around here forever," Martin said. "We want to finish our degree and make some money." E M E S H The grievance procedure is the process that employees go through when they are unhappy with an issue. GTAs think the process is unjust because all complaints resort back to the provost office, which makes the ultimate decision. The GTAs proposed the idea of a committee compiled of representatives from the provost office and the GTAs, which would discuss the problem and figure out a solution. However, the provost would still have the ultimate decision. Another issue being argued was merit raises. A merit raise is a set percentage given to faculty based on performance. The amount changes every year depending on how much money the University receives from Legislature. Departments evaluate their individual GTAs and merit raises are awarded based on their performance. "Recruiting top quality GTAs is important to the University," Bretz said. "For us not to offer merit doesn't help recruit." However, "the administration has denied every GTA for the past two years a merit raise," Waugh said. —Edited by Dani Hurst ARENSBERG'S SHOES PRICES REDUCED!

The owners would have had to apply for a zoning change to accommodate their "mixed use" structure regardless. The proposal has been submitted, but before this plan could come to fruition, several things must happen with the city. The first step in the approval process starts with the planning office, the day-today city planning staff. The planning office would make a recommendation — it does not approve or deny a proposal — to the planning commission, a board of 10 appointed officials and to the Lawrence City Commission. This case was different. The Hancock District, Oread Avenue to Mississippi Street on west 12th Street, and the Snow House, 706 W. 12th St., were listed 706 W. 12th St were invited on the National Register for historic places in Douglas County. Because the corner at 12th and Indiana streets was within 500 feet of those historic landmarks, the Historic Resources Commission would have to approve the proposal first. State law requires that planned proposals near historic sites be reviewed. If approved by the resources commission, the proposal would go before the planning commission. If it was approved there, the city commission would then have to approve it. "The project will unfold in the coming months." approve it. If it was approved by those three departments, that would conclude the governmental process, allowing the property owners to develop. This would not happen overnight. Michelle Leininger, an Area/Neighborhood planner with the planning office, said that proposals often change before they're approved. BRIAN FOXWORTHY Architect with Incite Design Studio Krebs added that sometimes the steps of getting a proposal passed go smoothly and changes take a short amount of time, but it doesn't always work like that. This proposal was no different. The redevelopment won't happen tomorrow. "The project will unfold in the coming months," Brian Foxworthy, an architect with Incite Design Studio, the firm that submitted the proposal, said. Goans said it's a slow process. Krebs agreed with the six-month estimate. "It may take six months;" he said. "It may be a long time before there's any construction," she said. One group that had little control with any aspect of the process was the Oread Neighborhood Association. It was not a voting body, Leininger said. She added that the Neighborhood Association could not like a proposal, fight a proposal with the planning commission and city commission, but had no voting power to approve its addition to the neighborhood. —Edited by Dani Hurst THEATRE (CONTINUED FROM 6) nior, said he keeps his characters apart by the way he speaks. One character speaks nasally, while the other sounds more natural. Because "And Then There Were None" is a play, it leaves room for error because accompaniment isn't present, Waite said. Going into the summer, Fleming thought the shows would be difficult to keep separate, but she found out she was wrong. Her characters are contrasting and even though the shows are both mysteries, they are different in styles. "Something's Afoot," directed by Staniunas, is a musical, so everything is choreographed. Fleming said she enjoys the musical because the style of the script allows the actors to be ridiculous in ways they normally wouldn't. "I personally don't go walking around singing how lovely the world is." Fleming said.

Many of the 36 volunteers rated their reaction to a single dose of the drug, called psilocybin, as one of the most meaningful or spiritually significant experiences of their lives. Some compared it to the birth of a child or the death of a parent. Such comments "just seemed unbelievable," said Roland Griffiths of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, the study's lead author. But don't try this at home, he warned. "Absolutely don't." Almost a third of the research participants found the drug experience frightening even in the very controlled setting. That suggests people experimenting with the illicit drug on their own could be harmed, Griffiths said. Viewed by some as a landmark, the study is one of the few rigorous looks in the past 40 years at a hallucinogen's effects. The researchers suggest the drug someday may help drug addicts kick their habit or aid terminally ill patients struggling with anxiety and depression. It may also provide a way to study what happens in the brain during intense spiritual experiences, the scientists said. Funded in part by the federal government, the research was published online Tuesday by the journal Psychopharmacology. Psilocybin has been used for centuries in religious practices, and its ability to produce a mystical experience is no surprise. But the new work demonstrates it more clearly than before. Griffiths said. Even two months after taking the drug, pronounced SILL-oh- SY-bin, most of the volunteers said the experience had changed them in beneficial ways, such as making them more compassionate, loving, optimistic and patient. Family members and friends said they noticed a difference, too. "I believe this is one of the most rigorously well-controlled studies ever done" to evaluate psilocybin or similar substances for their potential to increase self-awareness and a sense of spirituality, he said. He did not participate in the research. Charles Schuster, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience at Wayne State University and a former director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, called the work a landmark. Psilocybin, like LSD or mescaline, is one of a class of drugs called hallucinogens or psychedelics. While they have been studied by scientists in the past, research was largely shut down after widespread recreational abuse of the drugs during the 1960s, Griffiths said. Some work resumed in the 1990s. "We've lost 40 years of (potential) research experience with this whole class of compounds," he said. Now, with modern-day scientific methods, "I think it's time to pick up this research field." The study volunteers had an average age of 46, had never used hallucinogens, and participated to some degree in religious or spiritual activities like prayer, meditation, discussion groups or religious services. Each tried psilocybin during one visit to the lab and the stimulant methylphenidate (better known as Ritalin) on one or two other visits. Only six of the volunteers knew when they were getting psilocybin. Each visit lasted eight hours. The volunteers lay on a couch in a living- room-like setting, wearing an eye mask and listening to classical music. They were encouraged to focus their attention inward. Psilocybim's effects lasted for up to six hours, Griffiths said. Twenty-two of the 36 volunteers reported having a "complete" mystical experience, compared to four of those getting methylphenidate. That experience included such things as a sense of pure awareness and a merging with ultimate reality, a transcendence of time and space, a feeling of sacredness or awe, and deeply felt positive mood like joy, peace and love. People say "they can't possibly put it into words," Griffiths said. Two months later, 24 of the participants filled out a questionnaire. Two-thirds called their reaction to psilocybin one of the five top most meaningful experiences of their lives. On another measure, one-third called it the most spiritually significant experience of their lives, with another 40 percent ranking it in the top five. About 80 percent said that because of the psilocybin experience, they still had a sense of well-being or life satisfaction that was raised either "moderately" or "very much."

Hayes was lucky the first time, receiving only a warning. Had she been cited both times, her apartment would have been tagged as a "Disorderly House Nuisance," and she could have been evicted. Srmith/ AP Photo Wild Thing tale despite joshua Bickel/KANSAN BY TOM SLAUGHTER tslaughter@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER Charyne Hayes was adamant that she wasn't going to let a little thing like a nuisance ordinance get in the way of her having a good time. Hayes, Smith Center junior, is a resident of Orchard Corners Apartments, 1405 Apple Lane. Hayes and her roommate were warned once for noise complaints. The second complaint resulted in both Hayes and her roommate being ticketed $92 and cited for "heavy foot traffic" coming through their apartment. "It was so bogus," Hayes said. Hayes was lucky that she and her roommate were only cited once for noise violations instead of twice, otherwise their apartment would qualify under what the City of Lawrence would call a "Disorderly House Nuisance." According to the city's Web site, any residence where two or more felonies, misdemeanors, alcohol violations or violations of disorderly conduct occur within one year can be tagged as a nuisance. Occupants of these nuisance residences can be subject to eviction. Also, visitors can be barred from entering the premises and fences can be installed around an offender's property. Before being issued a penalty for being a nuisance, offending parties are given a written notice of the offense and are required to participate in a "Nuisance Abatement Conference," where attorneys for the city, the owner of a residence and the offending tenant discuss what action should be taken. Blume said that despite the fact that the police told him he was being cooperative, they reminded him that if they had to come to the residence again for a similar complaint, the house could be considered a nuisance. Scott Miller, attorney for the City of Lawrence, said that while most of the disturbances are "party-type offenses" that are often associated with students, they weren't the prime targets of the ordinance. "We have problems in all areas of town," Miller said. "This isn't aimed at students, it's aimed at behavior." "Student status has nothing to do with how we enforce this ordinance," Miller said. "We'd prefer that our neighbors come to us," he said. Nick Blume, Hays junior, lives at Seventh and Illinois streets. The police have given him warnings and a citation for noise complaints, which have come from neighbors. Blume said that he thought the matter could have been handled differently. Jim Slough owns approximately 20 properties in Lawrence, mostly between Sixth and 15th streets and between Iowa and Connecticut streets. He said that students make up 90 percent of his tenants. "I think that the number of tenants who are a problem is pretty small," Slough said. Slough said the most problematic houses tend to be those with between six and eight residents. He said the more residents there are, the more likely it was for them to throw parties. "Alcohol leads to a lot of problems that you wouldn't necessarily have," he said. Slough cited one incident when tenants hosted a party and people in attendance caused damage to a nearby house, forcing him to pay for repairs because no one admitted to the damage. Miller said that people who are prosecuted for nuisance crimes often feel the penalty is disproportionate to the severity of the crime. He said that the "propriety" of the penalties has been discussed, and members of the public have been given opportunities to voice their opinions through public forums. Miller said that there are currently five or six residences who qualify for an abatement conference, and the city has "everything in place" to go through with them. "I imagine that number will continue to go up," he said. Miller said that there is no way to tell if students make up the majority of offending parties; there is no screening process that occurs when homes are cited. "This whole ordinance structure is aimed at solving the problem," Miller said. So far, it is difficult to tell whether or not students are going to take the ordinance into consideration when throwing parties. While Hayes did admit that one of the parties at her apartment did get noisy, she said that the threat of penalties wouldn't scare her from having people over to her apartment again. "If I want to have a party, I'm going to have a party," she said. Blume took a different philosophy. He said that he thought the ordinance was "dumb" because an entire house can be blanketed a nuisance when only certain people living there have parties. However, he would take the ordinance into consideration. "It's definitely going to be my thought to never have a house party again," he said. —Edited by Dani Hurst --- 12 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN REVIEW NEWS WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2006 Crowd not lively, deadens concert I'll just use the text as it appears. Wait, is there a watermark or any special markings on the image? No, it's a simple black and white photo without any visible marks or watermarks. The band Ima Robot plays at the Granada Saturday. This Los Angeles-based band was one of the openers for She Wants Revenge. Dani Hurst/KANSAN BY DANI HURST dhurst@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER The She Wants Revenge concert at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., July 8 had potential to be a complete riot, but it wasn't. With three bands whose lead singers screamed naughty words into their mics, whose guitars drove intense bass interludes and near-deafening electric riffs straight to the crowd's ears and whose keyboards pumped insane techno music throughout the entire venue, the potential was there. So what happened? The audience just didn't give anything back. It's unclear whether it was the heavy chains on the pants of the concert attendees or the pounds of hair gel used to form perfect blue hair spikes that weighed the crowd down so much, but it was clear that their lack of response affected the whole show. No one moshed, hardly anyone moved until the end of the show, except to visit the merchandise table or to grab a drink at the bar. Mellowdrone took the stage first. Aside from the practically silent keyboardist/bassist Cami Gutierrez—who, in the rare occasion that you could hear her soft voice, added a subtle touch of softness amid an otherwise rough sound—the band played a loud and moody set of about seven songs, including "Oh My" and "Orange Marmalade," a song lead singer Jonathon Bates dedicated to all the ladies in the room. MELLOWDRONE: ★★★ Ima Robot was up next. As the music started, the crowd screamed a little, but it died down shortly thereafter. This band, whose funky beats intermingled with raw and dirty lyrics, was a little more audience-friendly than Mellowdrone, especially when lead singer Alex Ebert screamed, "It's really hot in here," and sprayed the crowd with water. The band became really into their set and at one point drummer Joey Waronker was on his feet pounding the drums while guitarist Tim Anderson was head-banging like it was going out of style. Ebert was all over the stage. He didn't play an instrument, but that just allowed him more freedom to bump into his band mates and convulse on stage. The contagious beats and Bowie-esque vocals of songs like "Dynomite" and "Dirty Life" definitely helped detract from Ebert's strange but permissible get-up, as well as his even stranger mullet hairstyle. IMA ROBOT: ★★★★ Then She Wants Revenge took the stage shrouded in red lights. They were met with thunderous applause from the audience, and immediately started playing. Here's where the audience went a little crazy, seemingly having saved all of its energy for this band. Lead singer Justin Warfield, with his deep and throaty voice, had the crowd jumping and screaming by the second song. "Sister." A psychedelic light show of reds, blues and greens played throughout their set, adding just a touch of rock star to the show. When She Wants Revenge played "I Don't Want to Fall in Love," Warfield prompted the crowd to dance along, but by this time the crowd had once again fallen back into its slump. It was only when the band left the stage and the audience had to stomp and scream to get them to come back for an encore that the crowd looked alive again. SHE WANTS REVENGE: ★★★ Overall, it was a good show as far as the acts. They delivered, but the audience seemed almost hesitant to get too into it. Now that's not to say that the bands couldn't have tried harder to get the audience involved, but it would have made for a more passionate and enjoyable show.

If you're a casual baseball fan at best, similar to yours truly, then you're in the middle of a long, tedious, Yankees, Red Sox, blah, blah, blah sports-filled summer. As an attempt to reconcile with a game I used to love, I thought I would give the Major League Baseball All-Star game a chance. PETER C. After falling asleep somewhere during the middle of the third inning I had come to the realization that there was no amount of beer in the world that could make me watch an entire nine-inning baseball game. So I've decided to offer a list of suggestions that could possibly help promote the midsummer classic to attract the casual fan. BY DEJUAN ATWAY datway@kansan.com There are bad teams in baseball for a reason because their rosters are usually littered with bad players. Perfect example of this rule: Kansas City Royal Mark Redman was chosen by American league manager Ozzie Guillen to be a pitcher on the American League team. Redman 1. Eliminate the "every team must have a representative in the game" rule. and his 5.27 era will have National league batters in lock and load mode. They will be ready to tee off on Redman like he is the Pebble Beach golf course. More than likely Redman won't even get close enough to touch the mound. So who gets penalized for playing on a good team? Minnesota Twins sensational rookie Francisco Liriano who only boasts a 10-1 record and a 1.83 era will be sitting at home. Casual baseball fans do not want see mediocre, bad or Mark Redman baseball. 2. The NL and AL managers should be the managers of teams with the best record and they should not be allowed to pick any of their own players. Why are the previous years' World Series managers allowed to coach the All-Star game? The teams with the best record during the first half of the year should be allowed to manage the game. The Detroit Tigers are the best story in baseball and they have MLB's best record. It would be nice to see Tigers manager Jim Leyland lead the all-star team after working a miracle in Detroit, just two years after the team lost an incredible 119 games in 2004. Detroit's reward for a stellar first half; three all-star selections. While the Chicago White Sox, defending world champions, boast seven All-Stars. Unfortunately, sometimes the All-Star game rewards players for their previous year's accomplishments. 3. There should be a veto rule against ridiculous fan choices on AllStar game starters. Die-hard baseball fans are truly one of a kind. They know every miniscule, completely useless statistic and are confident they always know who should start in the All-Star game. Unfortunately, they usually pick the same 10 to 12 guys for 10 to 12 years whether they are having a great first half of the year or not. For instance, Ivan Rodriguez was chosen by the fans to start at catcher. He gets the nod despite the fact that Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer has the same number of home runs, six more RBIs and, oh yeah, he's batting 70 points higher than Rodriguez. Fans are the lifeblood of every sport, they are passionate and energetic, but they are also known to be a little overzealous about a name they recognize. SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 15 SERENITY NOW A look into the 2006 season I was driving south through Oklahoma during the weekend and checked out the different radio stations that the Sooner State offered to pass the time. Roughly an hour from the Oklahoma-Texas border, the radio 'seek' stopped on a rock station, and the beginning of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" was playing. Immediately, Kansas football sprang into my mind because of its connection to the teams' run onto the field. DONALD J. PENNIGAN BY FRED A. DAVIS III fdavis@kansan.com 40,000 plus people standing and clapping, drunken students screaming, and best of all, the nice little video montage of the jayhawk-shaped jet flying through Kansas before blowing up the opponents helmet at midfield. road rage here I come. So, needing a jolt from what had been an otherwise dull journey, I cranked the volume, raised my fist – pounding it in the air and stared menacingly at people as I passed by them – pointing at some - letting them know that I, along with the KU football team, mean business this year. After the song finished and Iled Olda- homa state troopers on a high-speed chase through the Texas panhandle, (if heavy metal does that to me, imagine the effect on the football players), I thought of a possible soundtrack that might help determine how our schedule this season should play out. In the spirit of the "EIP" yours truly has selected six songs sure to prepare and get you pumped up for the 2006 season. 1. Devo, "Whip It" Three of KU's first four games are in Lawrence against the likes of South Florida, Louisiana Monroe and Northwestern State. Northwestern State? So what if we open the season against a Division I-AA opponent. Remember people - the Bill Snyder formula for success specifically mentions, "destroy small schools." Despite a tough nationally televised roadie in Toledo, KU should definitely "Whip It," and the season starts 3-1. 2. Ice Cube, "Check Yo Self" Once the preseason, err, non-conference is done, then things get exciting. Opening conference play at Nebraska will be demanding because the Huskers are still fuming about that as whooping from last season. Besides the Big Red, you have Texas A&M and Oklahoma State to worry about to open Big 12 play. The latter two are at Memorial Stadium, though, and that's never a real thing. 2-1 to start the conference is a real possibility, but the 'Hawks have to check themselves before they potentially wreck their season. (5-2, 2-1) 3. Talking Heads, "Burning Down the House" Waco. Branch Davidians. Janet Reno. Just a few things that come to mind. Oh yeah, we play Baylor too. KU - 31 Waco FD - 3. (6-2, 3-1) SEE SOUNDTRACK ON PAGE 15 The need for speed COPA Peter Deione/ASSOCIATED PRESS Oscar Freire of Spain, left, battles with Robbie McEwen of Australia to win the ninth stage of the 93rd tour de France cycling race between Bordeaux and Dax, southwestern France, Tuesday.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 15 BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 14) 4. Promote the All-Star game better. Of the four major sports in America, MLB and the NHL do the absolute worst job of marketing their players and games. If you don't have or watch ESPN would anyone know the All-Star game was last night? I'm sure there is some guy out there picking up the newspaper saying "The All-Star game was yesterday, huh?" The NHL playoffs were televised on something called the Outdoor Life Network and yet it still managed to actively advertise its game. 5. The winner of this game shouldn't decide what team will have home field advantage in the World Series. It's possible that Florida Marlins star Miguel Cabrera could face Redman in the bottom of the ninth to decide who will have home field advantage in the World Series. The Royals and Marlins have a combined record of 35 games under .500 and they could possibly decide home field advantage in the World Series. Make any sense? Of course not. According to a May 2006 survey by Sports Goods Manufacturers Association, which monitors trends in American sports participation, more people in the U.S. play soccer than baseball. When you have more people interested in imitating guys named Ronaldinho, Zidane or Henry, then MLB has a serious problem. If MLB cannot adapt and make an effort to attract a younger and broader fan base, then the current past time will once again prove it's exactly that, past its time. —Atway is a Phoenix senior in journalism. SOUNDTRACK (CONTINUED FROM 14) fire department-3. (6-2, 3-1) 4. Wu-Tang Clan, "Protect Ya Neck" It's crunch time people. The North portion of the schedule is in full effect and the Hawks have to protect any chances of winning a wide open North division. The Buffalooes and their sex-crazy recruits invade Lawrence before KU heads to Ames, Iowa, to face the Cyclones. Both very winnable games, yet a split is likely. Regardless, the Fred Count has KU at (7-3, 4-2) to this point in the season. 5. Michael Jackson, "Thriller" Forget what MJ has become. Remember what his nose used to look like? Real. The season concludes against our two biggest rivals, the purple rain-led Wildcats and Gary Pinkel's group. These games are going to go down to the wire, but BOTH will be KU triumphs. The K-State dominance is done; you remember two years ago? And Missouri? It's Missouri! Gary Pinkel is the head coach, of course he'll find a way to lose the game! (9-3, 4-2) 6. Queen, "We are the Champions" Big 12 North that is. That's right folks, I'm the first one to say it publicly – that I know of - KU will win the Big 12 North title this year. Sure I said the same last year, and we should have. But a winning mind-frame takes time – so too does getting out of the first round apparently – and a good quarterback that doesn't hit his O-lineman's heads more than his receiver's hands doesn't hurt either. There you have it ladies and gentlemen. The 2006 KU football soundtrack, for your listening pleasure. While you can't find it at your favorite CD store, in old-school hip-hop tradition, I will be selling bootleg copies out of my trunk.

Butter petitioned for more eligibility this past January, Becker said. Butler was ruled ineligible because he enrolled at DeVry University in Kansas City, Mo., in 2001. Butler then transferred to Avila University in Kansas City, Mo., before walking on at KU in 2004. His enrollment at Devy started his eligibility clock. The NCAA allows its athletes five years to complete four years of athletic eligibility, which includes one red-shirt season. More years in addition to those five must be petitioned and approved by the NCAA. After his initial petition was denied, Becker said Butler appealed on May 11, which was denied in a letter from the NCAA on June 14. He finished with 12 tackles and two sacks as a backup last season. NCAA games to be held at Sprint Center Jack Weinstein Kansas City was awarded first and second round games in the men's NCAA tournament in 2009. The games will be held at the new Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., that is expected to open in October 2007.

Greensboro, N.C., Miami, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Portland, Ore., and Spokane, Wash., will also play host to first and second round games in 2009. Boston, Indianapolis, Glendale, Ariz., and Memphis, Tenn., will play host to regional games in 2009. The Final Four will be in Detroit.

Regional games in 2010 will be held in Houston, Salt Lake City, Syracuse, N.Y. and St. Louis.The Final Four will be in Indianapolis. The Sprint Center will also play host to first and second round games in the women's NCAA tournament in 2010. -Jack Weinstein KU hires head football trainer, Murphy Grant The University of Kansas Athletics Department hired Murphy Grant as the head football trainer. Grant has spent the past four years at Oklahoma State as an athletic trainer with the men's basketball team, and last year as the strength and conditioning coach, as well. Carol Jarosky, the head football trainer for the past four years, was originally thought to assume another role with the athletic department, but took a job with Don Joy, a medical device company that specializes in rehabilitation and regeneration products, in Indianapolis Diane Douglas, Human Resources director for the department, said an opportunity presented itself to Jarosky.

He doesn't sing, he can't dance but he can sure make people laugh. By selling more than 450,000 copies of his first solo CD, "Drunk in Public," Ron White has established himself not only with audiences in the country world but with audiences of all kinds. "They Call Me Tater Salad," his one-hour entertainment show, aired on Comedy Central in 2005 and earned the channel's highest Sunday rating ever. He filmed his second show, "You Can't Fix Stupid," in 2006. It captured 4.5 million viewers, the third-largest audience in Comedy Central's history. Despite these amazing accomplishments, White is probably most renowned for his contribution to "The Blue Collar Comedy Tour," where he traveled along with Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry White, who grew up in Texas, has had his fair share of tough times. Before making it as a well-known comedian, he sold windows for a company in Arlington, Texas. It took White 20 years of driving from gig to gig in a beat-up Nissan pickup truck before he finally emerged as a celebrity. The hard work paid off, though. Since January 2006, White has released a book and a CD and has filmed another installation of the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour." In addition to his many accomplishments, White has appeared on "The Late Show with David Letterman" and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." White will perform at 7:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. on Friday, July 14, at the Topeka Performing Arts Center, 214 S.E. Eighth Ave. Tickets are available on ticketmaster.com.

Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the scoreboard was damaged in a hailstorm in April. The damage was sustained by the pixels that illuminate the board. More than 500 new pixels will have to be built for the repairs. Marchiony said that the scoreboard was insured, but because the pixels were not readily available the work had to be delayed. The department also said that a downed stadium light on the corner of 11th and Mississippi streets should be erected before the football season begins. Marchiony said the light was damaged in the microburst that occurred in March. He said the department was concerned that the light could fall on its own because the damages were severe enough, so the light was taken down. ---Tom Slaughter Correction An article in Wednesday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error.

Bar and Grill, 1105 Massachusetts St., and The Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. Downtown safety issues and surveillance cameras were the forefront of discussion during a public city meeting last week. The University of Kansas, however, has used surveillance cameras for more than a year, and officials within the University believe that the cameras have a positive effect on the safety of its students. Mascha Khramova, Russia graduate student, said she thought the security cameras were a good idea if it made students feel more secure, particularly at night. When asked if she ever felt unsafe at night, Khramova gave a succinct response. "Actually, yeah," she said. Khramova added that both the University and Lawrence could use better lighting. Ralph V. Oliver, chief/director of the KU Public Safety Office, said the University considered installing surveillance cameras for several years and came to the decision that they were necessary. Two violent crimes that occurred on campus, within the approximate span of a year, led them to expand upon the concept they were considering. Two years ago, a car was hitjacked in the parking lot of the GSP-Corbin Hall. The following year, a female was held at knife-point in the parking lot of the Lied Center. These incidents forced the University to consider taking more precautions, particularly in parking lots and residence halls. Thus, cameras were added. "People should feel safe to come and go to their residence halls, including visitors, without fear," Oliver said. Vince Avila, associate director for housing maintenance, agreed that the cameras were a good idea. He said he hasn't received feedback endorsing or disclaiming the use of cameras, but he doesn't think the idea of privacy is an issue in this case. "I don't think the privacy part of it has been brought up because they're exterior and they don't point to any windows in the halls," Avila said. In the city meeting last week, William G. Staples, professor and chairman of the department of sociology, didn't say his opinion on the use of cameras, but merely warned the city of some of the problems associated with their usage that has been found through research. He said often cameras are not good for preventative measures. When people monitor cameras on closed-circuit televisions, they do so from far away and often do not understand the situations they are watching, because they don't have the benefit of hearing what is happening, cited a study conducted in United Kingdom, Staples said. However, he added that they could be useful in apprehending suspects after events have happened. Oliver said the Public Safety Office employs approximately 20 students to watch the closed-circuit televisions. The office SEE CAMERAS ON PAGE 6 Joshun Bickel/KANSAN A security camera keeps watch over campus from the northeast corner of Memorial Stadium.

Last August the Wichita senior arrived at her newly rented house at 8 a.m. with five of her friends and their parents expecting to see her landlord with keys, waiting to usher them into the house. To their surprise, the landlord didn't show up. Pinnell, along with her friends and their parents, waited around until five o'clock that night before the girls could finally move in. "All day we were stuck, we were homeless," Pinnell said. For Pinnell and other students like her, renting can be a hassle Pinnell and her roommates were told that the previous tenants, another group of girls, would leave their keys behind. They didn't. The landlord was nowhere to be found. "Three days go by, six girls, college town and no way to lock our house," Pinnell said. Nothing was stolen from the house. That was the beginning of what became a tumultuous experience between the residents of the house and their landlord, Serena Hearn. Pinnell said the house had mold problems in the living room and an upstairs bathroom, and she was told it would be taken care of before she and her roommates moved in. It wasn't. After several phone calls and e-mails, the landlord finally consented, but it wasn't the solution Pinnell expected. She said her bathroom went from an eggshell white to a deep purple. Pinnell said her bathroom walls were painted so the mold could be covered up. The mold was still there and it came back immediately. "We're in the process of moving out right now and the mold issue was never taken care of" Pinnell said. That wasn't the worst of it. The most dangerous problem was in the shower. A mysterious wire stuck out of a vent above the shower. The wire was crossing a water pipe that Pinnell said gave her a minor electrical shock. "It only took me two times of doing that to realize that was scary crap," she said. Pinnell's roommate, Kelly Cook, Wichita graduate student, had moved in before the other girls to sublease. She worked at Garber Property Management, 5030 Bob Billings Parkway Suite A. Her co-workers had grown tired of listening to her complain about the problems with her house, and advised her to call the city housing authorities to get the house inspected. So she did. Two city housing inspectors showed up and inspected the house. They were completely appalled by the state that their house was in, Pinnell said. The inspectors called the landlord and told her that she had to replace the front porch, fix some electrical problems and solve the mold problem, Cook said. The inspectors also told the landlord that her house "wasn't a safe situation." Pinnell said the landlord was livid, and threatened the girls because they went behind her back. She also threatened legal action. Jo Hardesty, managing attorney and director of Legal Services for Students said landlord-tenant cases made up the largest percentage of cases seen by Legal Services for Students. Cook described the past year at her rental house as horrible. Landlords don't think students know the rules and think it's okay to take advantage of students. SEE LEASING ON PAGE 5 LEASING TIPS Students should consider the following tips before signing a lease. These could help reduce the risk of getting caught in a bad leasing situation. Ask for a copy of the lease and the rules and regulations before something signing anything Make sure to read both carefully, or take them to someone who can check them out for you. This is one of the main pitfalls that students fall into. Check for an automatic renewal clause This clause states a specific amount of time, decided by the landlord, in which a tenant must request in writing to end the lease. Often times, students don't see this in the lease and assume they can move out, sometimes signing another lease before they realize they're already stuck with their previous one. Check for a sublease clause Some landlords don't allow sub- leasing, while others will charge a fee. Application fees If there are application fees,ask if they are refundable. If they are not, ask if they will be applied to the deposit. Ask to see the actual apartment, not just a model A model apartment is meant to be impressive, but that's not the apartment you're getting. Ask to see the actual one so you know right away if there is anything seriously wrong with it before you sign a lease.

Perform the check-in inspection with the landlord present That way, the landlord is much less likely to blame the current tenants for damages that were already there when move out comes around. Document the check-in process Videotape or use a camera that displays the date on the picture to record any present damages when you move in. If you have proof that the damage was already there with a date then you cannot be held accountable for it. have it checked out right away If you're concerned about something, If during the check-in process, or after you've moved in, you come across a problem that you aren't comfortable with, alert the landlord right away, or call a city inspector. Do not live where you don't feel safe. Invest in renter's insurance Landlords are responsible for fixing their own property, but they are not responsible for damages that may occur to a tenant's belongings that may result from a fire or a leak caused by another tenant. Renter's insurance can be purchased for as little as $100 a year, but the cost depends on your credit and the monetary amount of personal items you want insured. —Dani Hurst Source: Jo Hardesty, managing attorney and director of Legal Services for Students LEASING (CONTINUED FROM 4) "We pay a lot of money to live close to campus in a complete shithole," Cook said. Hearn said that Pinnell and Cook reported these problems to the city before they were tenants, a point Hearn said is key because they had no right to report violations inside a house that they didn't yet occupy. But Cook was subleasing at that time. Hearn said she didn't know that a room had been subtlet. When Cook moved in, she was told she didn't have to sign anything, but Cook said Hearn knew she was living there because she was sending her checks. "I want to make it clear that those things were fixed," Hearn said. She added that those problems were fixed within the 14 days the city allots. "We're very service oriented," Hearn said. "Our practices are very much in keeping with landlord-tenant act." When asked if Hearn had been reported to the city, Brian Jimenez, code enforcement manager for Lawrence Neighborhood Resources, said yes. "We have cited her for code violations on houses in the past," he said, "We've had complaints, that's obvious. She's probably no different than any other landlord." Pinnell, Cook and their roommates aren't the only students that had dealt with undesirable situations. Karly Prickett, Salina senior has had experience with both good and bad landlords. When she lived at Highpointe, 2001 W. Sixth St., as a junior, only $25 of her $360 security deposit was returned. She was charged to replace a broiler pan on the stove that she never had, light switch plates because screws had fallen out and for tiles that came loose in her shower. She said that First Management, the company that owned Highpointe, didn't work for people's needs. She said that they were selfish, self-centered and that they only cared about money. "This is their business," Hardesty said. "They're trying every way they can to make money." That's not always the case. When Prickett lived at Meadowbrook apartments, 101 T Windsor Place, as a sophomore, the apartment complex gave her the first month's rent free because the carpet hadn't been cleaned yet. Now, she lives in a house at 10th and ILinois streets. "My new landlord's the shit," Prickett said. She said that the new landlord sends someone over right away if something needs to be fixed. She lives close to Memorial Stadium and the landlord allowed Prickett and her roommates to charge for parking on football game days, and keep the money. It's a practice Prickett said was uncommon on her block. "He always lets me pay rent four days late because that's when my check comes," she said. Edited by Janiece Gatson moving out tips Here are some tips for when move-out time rolls around to make the process smoother and less stressful. Cancel your utilities If you don't do this then you will continue to pay for the utilities at that residence in addition to what you'll pay at your new place. Fill out a mail forwarding form Yes, it's free. Do this as soon as possible to ensure that when you move to a new place your mail will follow in a timely manner. Rent a storage space If your lease ends before you find another place to live, or if you live far away and just need a place to keep your stuff for a while, consider renting a storage space. It can make moving less of a hassle. Update your personal information for companies that you have accounts with Even if you fill out a mail forwarding form it does not update your information with those companies. It is safer for you to update as soon as possible so your personal information doesn't end up in the wrong hands. Make plans to move large and heavy items ahead of time Ask around to see if anyone has a truck or trailer you can borrow. If that doesn't work, reserve a U-Haul a few weeks in advance.

The office conducted background checks on the employees, a practice Oliver said was atypical of most student-employers on campus. He said that he was 'quite pleased" with the work they were doing, and that as the students work on a lot of projects, "they make it their own." Oliver did admit to one downside of the cameras, however, the cost. He said that the University uses a number of "pan- zoom-tilt" cameras -cameras with the ability to move and zoom in on subjects- as opposed to fixed camera. "Pano zoom-tilt" cameras are more expensive and take a longer time to install. He said one benefit of the "pan- "Security is not a one-approach fix," he said. "SECURITY IS NOT A ONE-APPROACH FIX." Oliver said that the publicity that the cameras recently received has reduced the number of auto burglaries that have occurred on campus, but it will take a few more years to see the overall direct approach of their use. The office received "extremely positive feedback" from female students in particular, Oliver said. RALPH V. OLIVER chief/director of the KU Public Safety Office, zoom-tilt" camera is that students can call the office from the blue security phones on campus and ask the monitors to follow them to where they need to go, by a series of cameras. The monitors can then immediately notify dispatchers if they see that student entering harm's way. Oliver said he could not tell if the cameras were a preventative reason for stopping crime, but he thought that they were a critical component of what goes into keeping students safe. "Most of the response we have gotten is, 'why haven't we done it sooner,'" he said. Maddie Fry, Topeka sophomore, said she doesn't typically walk around campus at night, but in general she thinks cameras are useful. "I think it's a good idea to prevent crime," she said. Oliver said that both Memorial Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse use surveillance cameras inside and outside the complexes. The Department of Homeland Security provided funding for the cameras in the two stadiums because it dubbed them potential targets for terrorism in the state. — Edited by Adrienne Bommarito The heat is on THE HEAT IS ON Jamie Veatch, Lawrence resident, Jesse Plous, Leawood graduate student and Lawrence Hencerson, Lansing senior, cool off in the Chi Omega fountain Thursday afternoon.

In an effort to keep viewers from skipping ad, the newly created CW network is introducing a new forum for sponsors called "content wraps." The blind date saga, one of various forms the spots are expected to take, is intended to hook viewers on a "mini-show" that promotes companies and products, CW executives said. The content wraps will replace national advertising on an occasional basis on CW and will play at the beginning, middle and end of a program. "Why should consumers say at the commercial break, 'I can go to the bathroom? Why shouldn't they say, 'I see something entertaining worth watching?'?" said Paul Morningstar, executive vice president of media sales for the network. The wraps also would have online and wireless tie-ins, he said. For instance, viewers could visit the CW's Internet site for a chance to be featured in the blind date spot and later could track the outcome as well as get more product details. "What this really is is an experiment. We want to see how this works." CW Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff told a meeting of the Television Critics Association on Monday. Advertisers have told the network they want to see a reinvention of the wheel, she said. "There has to be another way for the advertisers to communicate to their clients and a way for us to all work together and do something different and innovative." Ostroff said. The network has had a "great response" from companies, she said. Several have signed up, Morningsstar said, declining to identify them. CW will begin its fall lineup, its first, on Sept. 20 with a two-hour episode of "America's Next Top Model." The new network is an amalgam of WB and UPN series and new fare. Its schedule includes "7th Heaven," "Gilmore Girls," "Girlfriends" and "Everybody Hates Chris," which will feature Whoopi Goldberg as a guest star in two episodes. New series are "Runaway" with Donnie Wahlberg and "The Game" with Tia Mowry. Finding ways to reach viewers outside of the traditional commercial has become a holy grail for the broadcast networks, especially since digital video recorders like TIVo have made bypassing ad spots easy. Product placement within series has been one answer, although some series producers have balked at their shows being used as direct sales platforms. In a promotional tape played at the TV critics' meeting Monday, the wraps were described as "an entertaining environment to get your brand message to consumers" and the blind-date example was shown. One scene showed a woman being introduced to a "fabulous" cosmetic, while another had a man being fitted with a "brand new" contact lens, apparent examples of product promotion.

Already a record-shattering blockbuster, Johnny Depp's sequel "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" dug up $62.2 million in its second weekend, raising its 10-day total to $258.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The movie has quickly become the year's top-grossing film, rocketing past "X-Men: The Last Stand," which has taken in $232 million in eight weeks. The "Pirates" sequel has grossed an additional $125 million overseas. "It's really fun when you're riding a comet like this," said Chuck Viane, head of distribution for Disney, which based the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies on its theme park attraction. "This thing is just unbelievable. It creates its own wake." Sony's "Little Man," the Wayans brothers' slapstick farce about a pint-size thief masquerading as a baby, opened as the No.2 movie with $21.7 million. The tale stars Shawn and Marlon Wayans, who co-wrote it with brother Keenen Ivory Wayans, the director. Universal's comedy "You, Me and Dupree," starring Owen Wilson as a houseguest causing chaos for a buddy and his new bride (Matt Dillon and Kate Hudson), debuted at No. 3 with $21.3 million. Hollywood's business dipped for the first time in two months. After eight straight weekends of rising revenues, overall receipts totaled $156 million, down 5 percent from the same weekend last year, when Depp also was at the top of the box office with "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Still, the second weekend gross for "Dead Man's Chest" topped the debut of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", which opened with $56.2 million. "Dead Man's Chest" had the third-best second weekend ever, behind "Shrek 2" ($72.2 million) and "Spider-Man" ($71.4 million). By next weekend, "Dead Man's Chest" should climb past the $305 million domestic total rung up by its predecessor, 2003's "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," Disney's Viane said. "Dead Man's Chest" debited with $135.6 million over the opening weekend, beating the previous record of $114.8 million set by "Spider-Man" in 2002. Ending with a cliffhanger, "Dead Man's Chest" will be closely followed by a third "Pirates" movie due out next May, with Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley and other co-stars on a voyage to rescue Depp's rakish pirate Capt. Jack Sparrow. "Huge expectations. 'Pirates 2' is maybe the toughest act in box-office history to follow," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations. "'Pirates 3' is the definition of a predestined blockbuster." After a strong start in narrow release the previous weekend, Warner Independent's sci-fi drug-addiction tale "A Scanner Darkly" expanded to more theaters and broke into the top 10 with $1.2 million. The movie, featuring Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder and Robert Downey Jr., was shot in live action then painted over with digital animation. by the numbers 1.

The Jayhawk, which sat in front of Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road, was vandalized sometime Sunday morning. Contributed photo BY TOM SLAUGHTER tslaughter@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER At least three suspects are wanted in a case of vandalism that occurred at Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road, early Sunday morning. The suspects, two male and one female, were recorded on surveillance cameras positioned outside of the store. According to Bill Muggy, owner of the bookstore, the two male subjects allegedly began rocking the "Bit O' Hawk" statue that rested at the front entrance to the store in an attempt to loosen the statue from its concrete base. Once the statue was removed from the base, Muggy said he thought the suspects used a saw to remove one of the feet from the statue. After watching the male subjects vandalize the statue, the female took pictures celebrating the crime. Muggy said he hoped the celebratory nature of their actions would lead to their arrest. would read, "I've got to assume that there was a fair amount of bragging," he said. Muggy said that a number of cars were seen driving by on the surveillance tapes while the crime occurred and he was hopeful that many of those drivers could identify the suspect. The statue, titled "Bit O' Hawk," was designed by Katie Kring. Also on the premises of the bookstore are "Mascot Miro," by Susan Younger and "Merhawk on the kaw" by Sharon Dewey. The three statues were sponsored by Muggy as a part of the Jayhawks On Parade art display that occurred in 2003 across Lawrence. In addition to the three Jayhawk statues at the bookstore, there are 27 others in Lawrence. Muggy said the price to sponsor each statue was $5,500. He was not sure what the estimated value of each statue would be. Muggy is offering a $1,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to the arrests of the three suspects. He said if no one could help turn the suspects in, he would consider removing the other two statues.

Temperatures reached the mid-90s in the Northeast, mark ing the first heat wave of the summer. Stew Milne/The Associated Press By JOANN LOVIGLIO The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — Cheryl Kennedy had just one word to describe the stagnant, sticky, downright dense heat that blanketed the downtown business district and most of the nation. "Insanity. Insanity!" she said. After a long sip from her bottled water, Kennedy added, "This is not fit for human beings. Without air conditioning, I don't think many of us could last like this for too long." She and millions of Americans may have no choice — the heat wave that has gripped most of the nation showed few signs of abating and may persist until the weekend in some areas. Scores of communities Monday reported temperatures of more than 100 degrees: Redding, Calif., about 160 miles north of Sacramento, reached 110 degrees; Grand Junction in western Colorado hit 101; Russell, Kan., hit 108. At least four deaths have been blamed on the heat, and the heat is suspected in at least three others. Parts of the Midwest got a little relief Tuesday from a cool front squeezing down from Canada. The 8 a.m. temperature in Milwaukee was 65, compared 76 at the same time Monday. The cooler air set off storms in Wisconsin and Michigan, with utilities in the two states reporting more than 300,000 customers black out. One woman was reported killed by lightning early Tuesday in Detroit. The Northeast could get a break starting Tuesday night, with scattered showers and thunderstorms expected for parts of the region, but the heat was likely to persist in the southern Plains until Friday, according to the National Weather Service. The heat killed a 76-year-old Oklahoma City man in a house where the air conditioner was broken, officials said Tuesday. Three other deaths in Oklahoma were suspected to be linked to the heat. A 60-year-old woman was found dead of lung disease and heat stress in her Philadelphia home. In Arkansas, authorities blamed the heat for at least one death but did not release any details. On Saturday, a 3-year-old boy died in South Bend, Ind., after apparently locking himself inside a car in 90-degree heat. The heat may have caused a New York subway train to lose power, stranding commuters for about 21/2 hours. About 70 people had to be evacuated. A transit spokesman said the power loss may have been caused when the "third rail" _ which powers the train buckled. "When you're burning with that torch, it makes it twice as hot," he said. "But you've just got to deal with it." ond lost power in New York when high demand caused by the heat triggered equipment problems. A train derailment in rural Oklahoma's Lincoln County on Monday afternoon might have been attributable to the heat, Highway Patrol Capt. Stewart Meyer said. There were no injuries.

Detroit cranked up the air conditioning in 11 of its libraries and invited The heat pushed power consumption to a record in some states, and calls also went out for electricity conservation. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered state offices to adjust thermostats and turn off nonessential lights for the rest of the week. PJM Interconnection, which operates the electric grid for all or part of 13 states and the District of Columbia, asked people to reduce usage, especially between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. In Chicago, the stifling weather prompted organizers of the Gay Games to deliver extra water and sports drinks to athletes. Spokesman Kevin Boyer said organizers asked competitors to bring extra ice and fluids to various events. Several cities, including the District of Columbia, opened cooling centers for people. For some, the heat was a bonanza. Rick Boaz, owner of WEDN CAMI Oklahoma City AC Rescue, said his air conditioning installation and repair business is busier than ever. "We're getting more business than we can handle _ it's just the heat," Boaz said. "I'd hate for the heat to affect my business but the reality of it is, extreme temperatures drive my business." At the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, gorillas got frozen fruit treats, bears played with ice-covered fish, elephants were hosed down, and large fans, water sprinklers and kiddie pools helped other animals stay cool. Construction worker Chuck Trautman, 54, of Pittsburgh, spends his days outdoors working with a blow torch and wearing heavy protective gear. "When you're burning with that torch, it makes it twice as hot," he said. "But you've just got to deal with it." ro BY D (t h h T c A t I w y) WEDNESDAY, JULY 19,2006 CAMPUS NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 11 rolling around for her dog A man and a dog share a moment of quiet companionship. BY DANI HURST - DHURST@KANSAN.COM - KANSAN STAFF WRITER - PHOTOS BY JOSHUA BICKEL just trying (top right) Lorraine Cannistra gives her service dog, Marshall, a pat on the head after completing a 15-mile Roll-a-Ton to raise money so that Marshall could have surgery to repair a torn ACL. Cannistra, who has been affected by cerebral palsy since birth, has had Marshall for nearly 10 years. When he was younger, Marshall helped pull Cannistra around and picked things up off the floor for her. Although he can't help Cannistra as much because of his age, she said he was still a good campion and friend. (above) Lorraine Cannistra, Lawrence resident, flies downhill during her Roll-a-Thon. Cannistra wheeled for almost 12 hours last Saturday and raised more than $2,000 for Marshall's surgery. (left) Whitney Fasbender, Cheney sen- lor, signs a card Saturday morning for Lorraine Cannistra. Fasbender is one of two caregivers for Cannistra, and has worked for her this summer helping out around her home. HENLEY Lorraine Cannistra completed the last mile of her 15-mile Roll-A-Thon 12 hours and six minutes after she began her first mile. Before the event began, she wasn't even sure she was going to make it all the way through. However, despite the sore muscles, blisters and sun burn, after it was all done, she said she felt "great." People came to cheer her on and to see the dog that inspired a woman with cerebral palsy to wheel 15 miles to raise money for the dog's surgery to fix his torn ACL. At the end of day, the plastic donation jar held nearly $650, a nice contribution towards her goal of $2000. To the people who passed by the Naismith Valley Park trail, 24th and Naismith, on that muggy Saturday, the donation table might have looked like a lemonade stand, just without the lemonade. Colorful posters were tape to a small fold-out table and a clear plastic jar with some white paper taped to it sat atop the wooden surface. A girl was standing behind the table. A dog was lying in the grass nearby wearing a big floppy yellow shirt and a blue bandana. Upon closer inspection, however, the posters became clearer and the figures made more sense. The posters had things like "Thank You" and "Keep Pushing, Lorraine!" written on them. The little white paper taped to the jar said "Donations for Marshall." The back of the girl's shirt read "Team Marshall." The back of the dog's shirt read "Team Mascot." The girl was one of Cannistras caregivers, Kate Stickle, who recently graduated from the University of Kansas, and has worked for Cannistra for nearly two years, doing odd jobs for Cannistra, such as cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping. Stickle said she thought Marshall was a great dog, and that this event was a good idea. "It's very exciting. I'm glad she's doing it," Stickle said. 15 miles. "Marshall loved the attention," Cannistra said after the event. "He makes me laugh. We're just very close," Camnistra said. "We have a bond that is almost closer than anything I've had with anyone." After each lap, whenever Marshall spotted Cannistra coming down the trail, he would gingerly stand up, take his leash in his mouth and lumber to her, wagging his tail the whole way. Cannistra was all smiles when he came near, and they slowly traveled back to the table together. The tape holding the posters to the table was curling, as were the edges of the signs tacked to trees up and down the trail announcing the Roll-A-Thon. The Cheney senior said that Marshall was "the sweetest thing ever." She talked about how he pawed people to get attention, liked to jump into bed with Cannistra and the love hed brought into Cannistra's life. closer than anything. Whitney Fasbender, another of Cannistra's caregivers, walked alongside Cannistra for the first three and a half laps, but had to leave early to go to a wedding. However, she, too, thought that the Roll-A-Thon was a good idea. Marshall lay in the grass with his shirt, bandana and metal water dish, looking expectantly up the trail. His eyes hardly ever left the spot where, at any second now, his friend would appear and roll back to him. He panted and waited patiently, distracted only by his thirst, or the occasional visitor who came to see the dog that inspired a woman to wheel "Marshall means the world to her. She'd do anything for him." "I think it's a great thing she's doing." Fasbender said. Cannistra started her Roll-A-Thon at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday when the heat and humidity was less prominent. As the sun rose higher, however, so did the temperature. By 8:50 a.m., just after completing the third lap of the four and a half mile trail, parts of Cannistras shirt were soaked with sweat and she looked a little worn out. She was still smiling, though. WHITNEY FASBENDER Caregiver for Lorraine Cannistra Donations can still be made to the Clinton Parkway Animal Hospital, 4340 Clinton Parkway. The hospital is keeping the running total of the donations for Marshall. As of July 18, the running total exceeds the $2000 goal. Extra money after the surgery will be saved for Marshall's future hospital bills. Marshall's surgery hasn't been scheduled yet, but a consultation will be next week. We have made enough for the surgery and then some" Seth Mullis, veterinary assistant at the hospital, said. —Edited by Adrienne Bommarito YCDE --- 12 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN ▼ TELEVISION ENTERTAINMENT WEDNESDAY,JULY 19,2006 "Will and Grace"stars fight post-sitcom "curse" BY BRIDGET BYRNE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. LOS ANGELES — It became known as "the 'Seinfeld' curse" when Jason Alexander, Michael Richards and Julia Louis-Dreyfus — stars of the hugely successful NBC series — moved on to new sitcoms that failed. Now Louis-Dreyfus appears to have broken that spell, acquiring an audience and an Emmy nomination portraying the title role in CBS' "The New Adventures of Old Christine." But will the cast of another very popular sitcom, which ended in May, also be able to avoid the curse of past triumphs? The stars of NBC's "Will & Grace," with eight successful seasons behind them, hope to do so by heading down different pathways. Instead of immediately aiming for a spi-off or rolling the dice with another sitcom, Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally are diversifying their roles — both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. "I educated myself, as I would suggest all actors do, and learned about the business," says Hayes, who, aware the series "wouldn't go on forever," started a company, Hazy Mills Productions, with longtime friend Todd Mil- liner. "I like to get up in the morning and work. I enjoy this business,very,very much ... and I can't imagine doing anything else," said Hayes, an Emmy winner in 2000 and a current nominee for his role as Jack. He says he's heeding the advice of a friend with a "very, very high profile in the entertainment business" who said, "It's real simple, Sean. Only do good things, don't do bad things." Hayes says that establishing his own company while he's taking "a nap" from acting gives him a better chance to "create those good things" for himself. Meanwhile, Mullally, who won an Emmy in 2000 and is also a current nominee for her role as Karen, will host a syndicated daytime talk program, "The Megan Mullally Show," this fall. She also has a production company, Ton of Bricks, and she's optioned the movie rights to the novel "Passing Strange," about an ugly duckling who is persuaded to have plastic surgery. She won't be starring in it. McCormack, Emmy winner in 2001 playing Will, also has his own company, Big Cattle Productions, in partnership with Michael SEE SEINFELD ON PAGE 14 Wednesday is College Night!

They produce the improvisational comedy series "Lovespring International" for Lifetime Television. "One hit in a person's lifetime, whether you are a writer or an actor or anything else, is a little bit of a miracle," said Karl Lizer, co-executive producer for three seasons of "Will & Grace" and now the creator and executive producer of "The Old Adventures of New Christine." In addition, McCormack appeared off-Broadway in the Neil LaBute play "Some Girls;" immediately after "Will & Grace" ended. But the odds that Messing and the others will ever attain the same level of success they once had with "Will & Grace" are not necessarily in their favor. Messing, Emmy winner in 2003 and a current nominee as well, for Grace, says she, too, has the itch to return to the stage. She feels her career has already diversified because she was "lucky enough" to star in several romantic comedies on the big screen while "Will & Grace" was still on the air. Having a 2-year-old son has "reorganized priorities" for Messing, she said. She views herself mainly as "an actor for hire" now and is happy to leave the "hunting, gathering, and searching to the team I have around me." Typecasting, one of the curse's big bugaboos, almost got in the way. Lizer had come up with the concept for "Old Christine," loosely based on her own experiences, before Louis-Dreyfus was suggested as star. "She was so Elaine to me. I didn't actually know if it would work," Lizer said. "But we decided to meet, and it was a match." Producing and directing helped Winkler through a difficult transition period. Then in 1991 a dramatic role in the TV movie "Absolute Strangers" re-established his on-screen credentials, which have continued to flourish alongside his behind-the-scenes endeavors. However, during "Happy Days" long run which ended in 1984, he had taken his lawyer's advice and created a production company. It's first success was ABC's hit spy adventure series "MacGyver." Lizer added that stars coming off a major hit should never resent the affection fans have for a "beloved character," something Mullally is sure to take full advantage of as a talk-show host. Henry Winkler, who became a cultural icon over 30 years ago as "The Fonz," in ABC's "Happy Days," knows too well what the "Will & Grace" actors are facing. "You have to think if I'm good at what I do and they like me in this, then, hopefully, they will come along with me as I try out new stuff." Winkler says. "Trying to please the fans is probably one of the most lethal things you can do, because then you are cutting off who you are, what your instinct is, your imagination is, and you are playing it safe." For a time, he said, he thought being The Fonz would "just lead me from mountain top to mountain top. And all of a sudden I looked down and I had tremendous grass stains on my pants as I slid into the valley."

That's the only logical explanation for the deranged thoughts that have been on my mind recently. These are the dogs days of summer, but visions of Manginos and Hail Marys are dancing in my head. T. J. HUCKLEY Has it really come to this? Is there really someone out there excited about Kansas football in July? The answer is yes, if only because I've been forced into it. You know that old adage, "It's like Christmas in July?" Whoever first made that observation certainly BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT eschmidt@kansan.com wasn't looking at my summer or the summer of my fellow Kansas City Royals fans. It's just past the midway point of the 2006 campaign, and my boys in blue are flirting with falling 30 games back of the Detroit Tigers. Despite a recent lukewarm streak — I refuse to call the fourth best record in the division since the end of May a hot streak — the Royals would need to post something like a 45-25 record the rest of the way just to make it back to .500. Even that would likely only be good enough for fourth in the division. Simply put, yuck. Suffice to say that my sports interest is dwindling. The World Cup was decent, if only because the professional wrestling fan left in me from the Ultimate Warrior days really dug that Zidane head butt. I signed a pact with myself years ago not to join in on the ESPN obsession with all things Yankees-Red Sox, so baseball is out of the question. That leaves the WNBA. I'm more intrigued by the 40-and-up men's Wiffile ball league that plays in my neighborhood than I am with those "professional" basketball players. That sorry excuse for a sports lineup is the bad news. The good news is this: Help is on the way. Sure, there's still a month and a half before the Jayhawks kick off against the always-tough Demons of Northwestern State. But the upcoming season comes with a bucket full of question marks, and an air of excitement thicker than the humidity at Clinton Lake. For example, the last time Kansas started a season coming off a bowl victory was 13 years ago. Now-Kansas coach Mark Mangino was in just his second season at Kansas State and Tag Team's Whoop (There It Is) was on the Billboard Top 40. That's SEE CHOICES ON PAGE 16 NCAA NCAA basketball coming to Sprint Center BY JACK WEINSTEIN jweinstein@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER When the first and second rounds of the NCAA Basketball Tournament come to the Sprint Center in 2009, it won't just be the end of a five-year layoff since the tournament was in Kansas City. Instead, a college basketball legacy will be revitalized. "Cities like Kansas City that have host before have shown they're up to the task," said David Worlock, associate director for Division I Men's Basketball Championships. Kansas City, Mo., played host to more tournament games than any other host site in the 68-year history of the tournament. Kansas City's 116 games remains far ahead of the next closest site, Salt Lake City's 77. In comparison, Allen Fieldhouse had only 37 tournament games during its 51 year history. Municipal Auditorium Kansas City, Mo., hangs onto the arena lead with 83, six more than Salt Lake City. Kansas City's 10 National Championship games still ranks ahead of New York's famed Madison Square Garden's seven. Municipal hasn't seen N C A A tournament action since it played host to its sixth Final Four in 1964. Auditorium Allen Fieldhouse has never seen a Final Four. completed. One of the 46 most memorable games in Kansas basketball history was played there. The Jayhawks were tied 50-50 with the Oklahoma Sooners at halftime of the 1988 National Championship game. Danny Manning led the Hawks to a 83-79 victory "Cities like Kansas City that have host before have shown they're up to the task.

This season brings promise, and the promise lies in the unknown. Kerry Meier seems to be the frontrunner for the quarterback position, but his abilities are yet to be seen. Aside from a strong performance in the spring game and a whole lot of hype, Meier is virtually a wild card. Another wild card will be the team's ability to operate without a proven playmaker. Jon Cornish looked like he was ready to make a move at the end of the 2005 season, but the absence of Charles Gordon leaves a void on special teams. Mangi- leaves a squash on special teams, so he'll find a way to fill that void; the question is who will fill it. Perhaps the largest question resides in the line-backing corps. How do you fill a space left by such monsters as Banks Floodman and Nick Reid? Kansas' answer is three guys with big potential, large special teams reputations and a whole lot of mystery. How will they transition from being punt team specialists to every-play anchors? The intrigue of that questions alone is enough to put me in the seats. Be brave, fellow sports fans. The heat is intense, and Christmas is still five months away. Still, it seems like a refreshing run through the Big 12 is on the horizon.

"It was obvious then that the NCAA would not award more games until an updated facility was built," Kansas associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said. Bob Burda, associate Big 12 Conference Commissioner, agrees, "It's fair to say that the new arena had an impact in bringing the NCAA back to Kansas City." Worlock wouldn't confirm if Kansas City would have had the tournament games again, if the Sprint Center had not been built. most city. "The NCAA tournament has a rich tradition in Kansas City," he said. Marchiony said the fact that it happened so quickly is a testament to how great Kansas City is as a host city. "I can't validate that," he said. Former MU football player's parents file revised lawsuit — Edited by Adrienne Bommarito BY ALLEN SCHER ZAGIER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, Mo. — A revised lawsuit filed Tuesday by the parents of a Missouri football player who died during preseason workouts last year targets team leaders' unfamiliarity with the symptoms and exercise-induced complications of sickle cell trait. Although a county medical examiner identified viral meningitis as the official cause of death for reserve linebacker Aaron O'Neal, the amended complaint focuses on the role of the genetic condition that a growing number of athletic trainers and team physicians across the country suggest should be more closely monitored. Despite the medical examiner's conclusion, the chairman of the university's pathology department and several outside experts have suggested that sickle cell trait _ a blood disorder found in an estimated 8 to 10 percent of the U.S. black population _ was a contributing factor in O'Neal's death. "Aaron O'Neal died from a vascular crisis caused by sickle cell trait and extreme physical exertion, which caused several systems and organs in his body to shut down," reads the revised lawsuit, filed in Boone County Circuit Court along with a motion asking a judge to "The actions and inactions of the defendants on July 12, 2005, demonstrate that they had no familiarity with, or ignored or forgot their required training concerning sickle cell trait." approve the changes to the complaint. Individuals with sickle cell trait have one normal gene for hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells, and one abnormal gene. Unlike normal, rounded red blood cells, the sickle-shaped cells carry less oxygen and can clog blood vessels that flow to the heart and other muscles. The National Athletic Trainers Association, in conjunction with the NCAA, will host a summit in early 2007 to explore the link between sickle cell trait and risk to athletes. Such training varies widely among college sports programs. NCAA guidelines treat the condition as "benign" and require members only to consider voluntary testing. But some sports medicine experts are calling for the NCAA to require mandatory preseason testing, noting that intense heat and dehydration can cause potentially fatal complications in athletes with the blood disorder. The trait is distinct from sickle cell anemia, a condition that affects fewer people and in which two abnormal genes are present.

Kansas City, Mo., 8:30 p.m, all ages, $9.00-$75.00, www. kcstarlight.com Josh Gracin seems to be living the American dream, and if asked, he would probably say that was true. He made his first impression on America when he introduced country music to the hit show American Idol. The fact that Gracin was also serving in the Marines at the same time demonstrated undeniable loyalty to his country. Even after he signed a record deal with Lyric Street Records, Gracin remained overseas, flying back to the states, when he could, to work on his debut album. Despite the sporadic recording sessions, Gracin's self-titled debut was a huge success. It led him to become one of two new country artists who earned three top five singles from his debut album; the other was Gretchen Wilson. Gracin is also one of two new male country artists to achieve a gold album in the past two years. If this isn't enough, his debut CD is on the verge of going platinum. After gaining such popularity from his first album, Gracin has big expectations for his second album, All About Y'All. When he recorded the CD, Gracin was able to focus solely on the album. instead of having to divide his time between the Marines and his career. For this reason, Gracin could put more of his upbeat, happy-go-lucky personality into his second album. In a press release, Gracin said, "I wanted this album to reflect my energy and my values... I also wanted songs of substance that really explain who I am and what I stand for. And that's what I hope that we've accomplished." Besides his career, Gracin places great importance on his family. Even with his newfound fame, Gracin claims he hasn't changed from the person he was before stardom. He gives his family credit for helping him stay grounded throughout his transition from everyday citizen to famed singer. His old-fashioned values and energetic personality will help him gain popularity as he continues his climb up the ladder of country celebrities. Gracin will be playing at the VooDoo Lounge in Kansas City, Mo., on Thursday, July 20, at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are available through www.ticketmaster.com. —Hali Baker O 785-843-644b Weekly Specials @ Kansan.com South Point 755-843-6446 THE PROGOT DOG DANIEL CHRISTIE Thu Fri Sat Sun Mon Tues Wed 1 month FREE $99 Deposit 1 month FREE $99 Deposit OPEN HOUSE 10-4 1 month FREE $99 Deposit 1 month FREE $99 Deposit 1 month FREE $99 Deposit Check us out: M-F 9-6 Sat 10-4 Check us out: M-F 9-6 Sat 10-4 Check us out: M-F 9-6 Sat 10-4 Check us out: M-F 9-6 Sat 10-4 $2 ALMOST ANYTHING $2.50 16oz.

PAGE 14 In 2005, in Top of the Hill, the Kansan chose Serina Hearn as best landlord. I own over 25 fabulous houses and have never had a situation arise as presented in last weeks' University Daily Kansan 19th July, 2006, in which two tenants of mine Joan Pinnell and Kelly Cook essentially distorted a kernel of fact into accusations that they were living in a "shithole" and had a terrible landlord. Cook did not sign a sublease contract with us.In fact,she I have had tenants tell me that they have never had a problem with Rainbow Works and apologize for problems people may have caused. The facts are these: Pinnel and Cooks' lease began August 3rd, after 12:00 pm, as stated on their lease agreement. I have no idea why they say they turned up at 8:00 am but Cook did have a set of keys to the house and the house was open to them that day. My carpenter will testify to that as he was working on the front handrail at the house. never filled out an application form as was requested of her for her August 05/06 lease, and we did not know she was living there over the summer. While living there, she never called to complain to us about any problems with the house, though she might have complained to her workmates, and neither did the legatimate tenants. She called for an inspection by the City on 27th July, three days before the legal tenants were to move out. The City did the inspection and gave 21 days to repair the problems that had not been called in to us. Brian Hermanez, Neighborhood Resources of the City of Lawrence, pointed out to Jack Weinstein, the University Daily Kansan reporter, that Serina Hearn had ALL problems corrected by the 1st of August, less than four days after inspection. He tried to explain that this was a very quick and professional response to an inspection especially as the City gives 21 days to correct problems. The truth is that we had already begun the process before Cook called the City. When Cook, Pinnel and the other roomates moved in on August third Rainbow Works had corrected ALL problems. Another untruth that the University Daily Kansan reported was that "she had to replace the front porch" at the city's request, when all that was needed was that Rainbow Works strengthen a handrail and part of the NW corner of the porch. What Pinnel and Cook never explained to the University Daily Kansan was that the legal tenants had turned off the heating in the winter of 05 which caused the water pipes to freeze and burst in 12 places, on three floors, and cost thousands to repair. Because of the severity of the water damage to ceilings we at Rainbow Works waited until the end of July 05 to go in and replace three plaster ceilings with sheet rock, completely repaint the downstairs in order to recify the cosmetic damage to the house.

According to Jim Modig, director of design and construction management for the University of Kansas, it is an issue of both time and resources. The damage-cost breakdown is as follows: the microburst caused about $6 million worth of damages to University buildings. $1.5 million of those damages were covered by "other types of insurance policies," according to Modig. These included residence halls and athletic buildings that had their own policies, which left a remainder of $4.5 million in damages to the academic buildings. Jim Long, vice provost for facilities and planning management, said that the University was in the process of applying for a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant, which would cover 75 percent of the repair costs. Long said that if the FEMA grant came through, then the University would look to the state to pay the remainder. "We'll have to make some effort to get it," Modig said. Modig said that currently there were a lot of "behind-the-scenes activities going on," including drawing up new designs for the building repairs. He said that about 85 of the roughly 200 buildings on campus received roof or window damage from the microburst, but that about 12 of those buildings had already been repaired. He said 10 buildings were currently in design, and there were about 14 buildings that had contracts for roof replacement or other major repairs, including the Art and Design Building, Danforth Chapel, Fraser Hall, Murphy Hall and Stauffer Flint Hall. The remaining 49 buildings will be repaired after the others are finished. Long said that the microburst "lifted up the roofs and slammed them down," which created cracks and leaks. He said these had to be repaired as soon as possible to ensure that internal weather damage did not add to the existing external damages. Modig said that aside from the monetary restrictions, necessary resources to complete the construction were also scarce, including workers and certain tiles for some of the older roofs. The number of workers and the amount of time needed to complete a project depended on the size and complexity of the construction, Modig said. For a building the size of Danforth Chapel, for instance, the job could be done in about three weeks with three to five workers, while Fraser Hall might take up to four months with a dozen workers. The materials used also added an element of complication to the situation. Some of the roofs that were damaged were made of tiles. Modig said this made the job harder because there were not a lot of craftsmen who did tile roofs. He said that tiles were salvaged after the storm, however, and would be reused to reduce material costs that would result from buying all new tiles.

The testing checked for radon, volatile organic compounds, carbon dioxide and mold, along with other chemicals. The asbestos and lead content in the building, and the electromagnetic fields and air exchange velocity in certain places was tested. While the factors that caused the tumors are still unknown, University officials are confident that they were not a result of the lack of circulation. Don Steeple, vice provost for Scholarly Support, said while the ventilation problems have not been ruled out as a potential cause, the work currently being conducted to the building is "not "At this point there is no reason to believe there is a health issue that permeates the building, or any specific part of the building," he said. Steeples said KU has not received formal complaints from students, faculty or staff, but it has always been understood that rooms within the building were "stuffy." Jeremy Lyman, Lawrence senior works in the Ermal Garinger Academic Resource Center on the fourth floor of the building. "My only complaints are temperatures and windows, pretty much," Lyman said. Lyman said that the building can be uncomfortable at times, but he does not have concerns about the tumor issue. related to a health issue, it's related to a comfort issue." He said that the ventilation system only operates when the building temperature is different than what the thermostat dictates, which fails to meet guidelines set forth by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers. Steeple said there are certain factors that will make improving the ventilation system a costly venture. Costs such as hiring staff who will make adjustments to the system and the potential increase in the utility cost of the building are not yet known. Steeples said that changes were made to Wescoe's ventilation system in the 1980s to improve energy efficiency, but since then problems have arisen. building the John Neuburger, epidemiologist and professor in the department of preventive medicine with the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., has been hired as the chief investigator to the brain tumor issue. So far, air samplings have been collected and sent to an accredited lab for insight into what is causing the tumors but results were not available. Edited by Adrienne Bommarito How sweet it is...

New sheetrock ceilings involve a lot of plaster dust and we were waiting for the house to be empty so as not to inconvenience anyone living there. Serina Hearn gave the 04/05 tenants thousands of dollars off their liability for damages caused to the house. There is a signed contract in which the 04/05 tenants come to this agreement. Hearn loses close to $2000 and they lose their security deposit to cover the plumbing costs and some of the damage repair. Maybe this sounds too good to be true that a landlord can be kind but these are the facts. I have all the bills and documents to back this up. I never threatened Kelly Cook as she claims. I also would like to invite anyone interested to have a look at the house which Cook claims to be a "shit hole". Words fail to express my dismay at these slanderous statements made by Pinnel and Cook. Regarding the electricity complaints: The 04/05 tenants never complained about getting slight shocks from the 3rd floor bathroom, and neither did Kelly Cook who was living there without my knowledge (I personally don't do the accounting in my office and we frequently have checks sent in by family members with different names to cover tenants' rent especially in the summer months). However once the problem was made known to us by the City we hired Quality Electric, a very reputable company in town who do all our electrical work, to come and solve the problem. This was done BEFORE Cook and Pinnell moved in and the city found everything satisfactory. A different electrical problem occurred after Pinnell and Cook moved in. My office (where there is a full time manager) was informed and we immediately sent out Quality Electric to solve the mystery. It turned out that because of the water damage from 04/05 and having to dig through many walls to find the burst pipes something was causing an unpredictable short. within days. They had called in on Friday and by Monday the electricians were there. We have receipts of this to prove our promptness in this matter. The problem was solved I also gave the University Daily Kansan reporter many phone numbers of current tenants to call and ask them what they think of me as a landlord but he never called. I was never told when he talked to me what Pinnel and Cook had said about me and my practices and therefore I did not have a chance to prove my side with documents before the article was published. I will leave you with a comment I received from one of my tenants who is leaving in a few days. "In case I don't see you before I move to Chicago, it has been great being your tenant.

These are the types of questions that Sarah Goodwin Thiel answered when she worked at the Kansas City Public Library as a reference librarian in Kansas City, Mo. The library was a statewide reference center offering phone assistance to Missouri residents. Anyone could call and ask a question and Thiel would help them out to the best of her ability. The time limit set for a librarian to answer a question: A few hours. The library has an extensive reference collection, which is where Thiel found most of the answers to the posed questions. "It was suppose to be a library question, but," Thiel said jokingly about the cheese question and other questions she's received. However, she said the position was vital to some Missouri residents who took the phone calls seriously. Thiel said the reference position reminded her of how KU Info used to be. Thiel now works as the digital imaging librarian for the University of Kansas. She creates digital collections used for research by KU and institutions nationally. "I also oversee the imaging lab in the Spencer Research Library where we photograph large or fragile library materials for publication, research and display in KU's Luna Insight image management system. Web site development and various patron requests," Thiel said. patron request. She still thinks of the job she left behind, sometimes. "It was great," she said. "Before people had Internet access a lot of people would call with medical questions, because they had no one else to ask." Thiel heard all kinds of interesting questions throughout the day at the library. Her family and friends would wait to hear the question of the day. "I was the local hero, because I had so many bizarre questions." Thiel said she received an average of 25 questions every day. She became fascinated with weaving during her undergraduate years at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, where she majored in art and design. When she's not telling her family about the questions of the day, Thiel spends her time weaving. Thiel received her first loom from a friend 20 years ago. It was a floor antique rug loom that she still uses today. When she has free time, Thiel makes rugs, blankets, tapestries and towels. Most of the items she gave away as gifts. "It's satisfying to give something you made away," she said. "Just a fun thing for me to do." Currently, Thiel is working on a braided rug for the entryway of her house, a project she started years ago. The rug is an ongoing joke in her home, because she has been working on it for so many years. Now it's only about four feet by three feet but Thiel said it will have to grow in size before it can decorate her entryway. Edited by Janiece Gatson Joshua Bicket/KANSAN Sarah Goodwin Thiel, a digital imaging librarian in the Spencer Research Library, displays one of her many projects, a rug, that she made by hand. Aside from working in the library, one of Goodwin Thiels hobbies is weaving, something that she started in college as an art major. She's worked in the Spencer Library for five and a half years.

Anderson will stand trial on Nov. 27 for shooting and killing Robert E. Williams outside The Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., on February 5. The 19-year-old Anderson allegedly shot 46-year-old Williams four times. The fatal blow was a shot through the heart after Anderson and Williams were seen arguing after a hip-hop concert that featured Williams's nephew, Denver-based rap artist, Doe. District Judge Paula Martin set the trial date after two preliminary hearings determined that there was enough evidence to try Anderson. There had initially been doubt about the shooter's identity, but DNA evidence and a video tape shot by a contractor, from the recording label representing the artists, allegedly implicated Anderson. A 23-year-old Kansas City, Kan., man, Pierre Burnette, was injured in the shooting. Burnette recovered from minor injuries from being shot in the back and testified against Anderson in the hearings. Williams' widow, filed suit against The Granada before the hearings began, alleging that the bar did not take proper security measures after the concert. The Granada's ownership declined to comment. The incident has sparked debate about safety concerns in downtown Lawrence and what the city should do to alleviate those concerns. Scott Miller, a staff attorney at the city manager's office said the public was allowed to voice its opinion at the Lawrence City Commission meeting on July 11. With the public's opinion in mind, he said the commission would decide what type of measures it wants to take to make downtown Lawrence safer. "I imagine it will be on the agenda at some point." Miller said. "But I can't imagine what direction it will take." - Edited by Janiece Gatson ROOFING (CONTINUED FROM 3) Modig said the tiles on Bailey Hall, Spooner Hall and Dyche Hall were no longer available, and so alternate materials had to be used. However, more than 50 percent of each roof was damaged, so the entire roof had to be replaced. These particular buildings are also listed on the Register of Historic Places, so all designs have to be submitted to the Preservation Office of the National Register of Historic Places before construction can begin. In the meantime, temporary roofs have been built to prevent as much weather damage as possible, although some have needed repairs already. The temporary roof on Stauffer-Flint had leaked after the rainstorm two weeks ago, said Beth Mole, general maintenance and custodial worker for Stauffer-Flint and Wescoe. She said that when she had arrived the Monday after the storm she noticed that the whole corridor on the third floor of StauFFER-Flint was wet and needed to be mopped right away to prevent it from getting into any of the equipment rooms. Modig said that the temporary roofs were at risk with certain weather conditions, and said that they'd "just keep coming back and addressing those on a caseby-case basis until we get the permanent roofs." - Edited by Adrienne Bommarito TIMBUK2 SUNFLOWER OUTDOOR & BIKE 504 MASSACHUSETTS 843-5000 LAWRENCE, KY 45006 SUNFLOWER OUTDOOR & BIKE 604 MASSACHUSETTS 843-5000 LAWRENCE, KY City Born & Street Tough Classic Messengers starting at $59.98 TIMBUK2 804 Massachusetts St. • Downtown Lawrence • (785) 843-5000 www.sunfloweroutdoorandbike.com LIED CENTER OF KANSAS www.liedku.edu 785.864.2787 KU students, you come first!

Israel native Daniel Coldham gets frustrated when people ask him about the conflict currently affecting his homeland. "Is your family safe?" "Have you seen any bombings?" "It must be mayhem over there, right?" And every day when Coldham, a senior in engineering, encounters questions like these, he grows tired of having to explain the situation. "You don't realize most of the country is going about like nothing is going on," Coldham said. Coldham, a practicing Jew, was born in London to an English father and an Israeli mother. His family moved from England when he was 10 and lived outside of Tel Aviv, Israel since. Two weeks ago, Hezbollah, a Lebanese Islamic group and political party, began bombing northern Israel and the group kidnapped two Israeli soldiers. Israel retaliated by bombing Lebanon, and the two sides have fought in the region since. Hezbollah is not affiliated with Palestine or the Palestine Liberation Organization, another political organization that has traditionally been at odds with Israel. Coldham said he does not want to downplay the situation in Israel. He said the situation was intense and "the whole north is like a ghost town," but the rest of the country simply continues with its business. Coldham said that outsiders only see what is on the news - fighting in the streets of decaying cities and missiles exploding on night-vision network cameras — therefore, they perceive the entire country to be a war-zone. He said that while the northern Israeli city Haifa, with a population of roughly 250,000, was hit by Hezbollah missiles, the two largest cities in Israel, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, have not been affected by the fighting. Coldham says in order to get a handle on the true nature of the conflict, he turns to Israeli news sites. Rabbi Zalman Tiechtal practices in Lawrence. He said that education was the key for Americans to get a better appreciation for the situation. He suggested more awareness being made, perhaps in both schools and the media.

First Management www.firstmanagementinc.com WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 2006 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 9 ISRAEL (CONTINUED FROM 8) Last week, his parents visited family and holy sites in the northern part of the country. In an e-mail sent to Tiechtal, his father recounted seeing three missiles sail over their heads when they were in an open field near the holy city of Tzfat. Tiechtal described the daily shooting of missiles as "disastrous" for the region. He said that the conflict was "deeply connected to every Jew." Tiechtal said that two things are at the center of this issue: the value of life for people in the region and the future of Israel itself. Tiechtal said while people in America are indeed far away from the conflict, there was a way to help alleviate some of the problems. He said this can be done by "increasing acts of goodness and kindness." "We are told that light dispels darkness," Tiechtal said. "All we can do is increase good acts." As for the future of Israel, Coldham said that he doesn't think Israel and Lebanon can sort matters out themselves. He said former President Bill Clinton was efficient at getting sides to delegate, citing Clinton's sponsored peace talks between PLO leader Yassir Arafat and former Israeli President Yitzak Rabin. Recently, President George W. Bush criticized Syria and Iran for having ties with Hezbollah. Despite what he said was a lack of perspective for most Americans regarding the situation in Israel, Coldham said his time in the U.S. could not have been better. He said that he loves America and Kansas. "Everyone is so nice," he said. Coldham came to KU to follow a cousin he is especially close with. His cousin moved to Chicago from England and Coldham visited him in the U.S. on multiple occasions growing up. Since deciding to attend KU, Coldham has been back to Israel at least once every year. He has plans to go back to visit family next week- something most people cannot believe, he said, because of their misconceptions about the dangers of being there. "This is exactly when I want to be with my family," he said. Coldham reiterated that he can't wait to get back to see his family and friends. He said the idea of danger in his home country only makes him want to get back to Israel even more. It is, after all, home. —Edited by Adrienne Bommarito FOR MORE INFO To view letters from those on the scene in Israel, go to www.kansan.com. SUMMERTIME!

Disc golf has been around since the 70s but has gained momentum 1 BY DANI HURST • DHURST@KANSAN.COM • KANSAN STAFF WRITER • PHOTOS BY JOSHUA BICKE MATT GROVENBERG Keith Lake, Lawrence resident and KU alumnus, prepares to throw his disc during a round of disc golf Thursday night at Centennial Park. Lake said playing disc golf was a cheap sport that allowed him to spend time outside with his friends and get exercise. Josh Levine stood on the concrete slab marked with a large painted 17 , which marked the 17th hole and clutched the orange disc in his right hand, squinting against the sun toward the disc golf target. He took a few steps back, ran forward and flung the disc into the air. It sailed a little too far to the left and hit the grass, finally rolling to a stop. His disc didn't land nearly as close to the target as any of his friends' discs — it almost landed in the street — but he didn't look disappointed. He simply trotted to the grounded disc, picked it up and flung again. Levine, Omaha, Neb., graduate student, was playing with three of his friends, all of whom enjoyed the fast-paced and fast-growing sport for different reasons. Disc golf is nothing new. People have been chucking flying discs at targets in disc golf fashion since the 70s, but the sport has gained momentum in recent years. terrible reasons. This was the first day in four years that Levine had played disc golf. So why hop back on the wagon? "It's just fun," Levine said, the front and back of his grey T-shirt soaked with sweat. Levine said that although hed seen people of all ages playing disc golf at the park, he considered it a "young" sport. Tom French, Omaha, Neb., senior, said he liked disc golf because it was "cheap, fast fun." Another one of the group, Rene McNulti, Omaha, Neb., senior, said he played to stay active because hed been "getting a little chubby." The best part of disc golf for Matt Hallberg, Omaha, Neb., senior, was "being able to come out and whoop my friends' asses." So just throw a disc and land it in a metal basket? Is that all? Eager beginners, beware. Disc golf courses are usually built in places that pose natural obstacles. These obstacles are a huge part of the game because they increase the difficulty of each hole. They cannot be altered or ignored, and thus participants must play around trees and shrubs, in ditches and through tall weeds. And that, essentially, is what disc golf is all about. Brett Knight, sales associate at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop, 804 Massachusetts St., is one of the people in charge of ordering new discs for the store every week. Knight said the store had recently increased its weekly orders. He said that last summer's order was roughly $700 every other week. According to the Professional Disc Golf Association Web site, www.pdga.com, the goal of the game is to complete a course in the fewest number of throws of the disc. Each player stands at the "tee," or a designated spot for the start of every hole, and throws the disc toward the "hole," which in this case is a metal pole with chains descending from the top and meeting at a basket about a foot below the top that surrounds the pole and catches the disc. It's free to play the game but depending on how competitively one might want to play the game dictates the cost. If one wanted only to play with friends for fun, like Levine and his friends, then one or two discs would serve just fine. For those a little more serious, however, there are many types of discs with many different functions. There are drivers for long distances, mid-range drivers for shorter distances and putters for up close. The drivers are thinner so they can fly farther while the putters are thicker and land heavier. The mid-range drivers fall in between the two. There are currently three disc golf courses around Lawrence: Centennial Park Disc Golf Course, 600 Rockledge St.; Burcham Park, 200 Indiana St.; and Clinton Park, 901 W.

With a newcomer at quarterback and others at several of the defensive positions, Kansas should field one of the youngest teams in the Big 12 North when the season kicks off Sept. 2. But to KU coach Mark Mangino, youth doesn't mean lack of skill. Despite the lingering questions about inexperience at several key positions, Mangino thinks this may be his best team yet at Kansas. program is on solid ground. "I feel like our personnel right now, regardless of whether they're veteran players or young kids, I believe we have the best personnel that we've had as a total football team," Mangino said Tuesday at Big 12 Media Days. It's that confidence in both his veterans and newly-arrived players that has Mangino thinking that, finally, in his fifth season, his Coach Mark Mangino listens to a reporter's question during the Big 12 Media Days Tuesday morning in Kansas City, Mo. Mangino and the other Big 12 coaches met with media from Monday through today answering questions about the upcoming football season. After entering each of the last two seasons with substantial quarterback controversies, Mangino appears to have all but guaranteed redshirt freshman Kerry Meier will take the first snap of the season. Although he's never played a down of college football, Meier has already earned the respect of his teammates. After winning a bowl game and finishing with a winning record for the first time in 10 years this past season, the Jayhawks set off this season chasing another first. With six victories this year, the team could become the first Kansas team ever to qualify for a bowl game in back-to-back seasons. back seasons. Another bowl bid, however, won't happen without big contributions from those young starters. SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 15 "For a young guy, he's really poised," junior tight end Derrick Fine said.

McClinton, along with junior tight end Derek Fine and senior offensive lineman David Ochoa, represented Kansas at the event, which runs through today. BY SHAWN SHROYER sshroyer@kansan.com KANSAN SPORTSWITTER Kansas City, Mo. — With the first college football game two months away, Big 12 coaches, players and media joined forces to debate the recently released Big 12 preseason poll and speculate how the chips will actually fall in the conference. Every now and then, the question and answer sessions dabbled in the obscure and absurd. Nebraska Questions: Will senior quarterback Zac Taylor flourish in his second season with coach Bill Callahan's West Coast offense? Who will replace graduated running back Cory Ross? Answers: If Taylor and the Nebraska offense are to return to their days of 40- and 50-point blowouts through the air instead of on the ground, experience will be the key. "I think experience is something we didn't have a whole lot of last year," Taylor said. "This year, everybody's a lot more comfortable with each other, lot more comfortable in the system. We know what to expect and we've been through all the ups and downs." As for who Taylor will be handing the ball off to, sophomores Marlon Lucky and Cody Glenn appear to be the tront runners, but Callahan didn't rule out a running back-by-committee. "We'll play the best back," Callahan said. "Whether it's by committee, whether it's two, three, four, five, however it shakes out, that's our goal." Baylor Questions: What did coach Guy Morriss think about Baylor being picked to finish last in the South? What does senior cornerback C.J. Wilson think of Kansas football fans? Will All-American senior punter Daniel Sepulveda recover from his torn ACL in time for the season opener? Answers: Morriss made no bones about his displeasure with the Big 12 preseason poll. "Kind of POed, to be honest with you," Mortiss said. "Everybody is entitled to their opinion. I don't think we'll end up in the cellar." up in the office. When talking about Baylor's upcoming schedule, Wilson spent some extra time talking about Kansas and its fans. "I always have liked Kansas," Wilson said. "I've never had the chance to say that publicly, but honestly, those fans are the type of people that keep college football going." SEE BIG 12 ON PAGE 15 COLUMN (CONTINUED FROM 13) And this year, well, I gotta say, I feel pretty good about my teams' chances. Okay, before people start laughing at me, if you haven't already started, I know KU football will not be winning a national championship this year. However, I will accept a Big 12 North Championship as a concession. I mean let's face it folks, there's not one KU football fan who wouldn't consider a Big 12 North Championship a major accomplishment, especially since the team has never finished above .500 in conference play. Then there's the Chiefs. I might need another column for this. Seriously, I'm so excited about this year's Chiefs, I don't know where to begin. dont know where to go. I know, how about the fact that KC has the nastiest running back in the NFL in Larry "Do I have to run against 11 Jesuses to get some respect?" Johnson, the 6-fet-1:230-pound enigma. son, the 8 assailants. The dude's a freak, on and off the field, and I could care less if Priest Holmes comes back, which he isn't anyway.

Dungy had taken the Bucs as Finally, KU men's basketball. Whew, what to say, what to say. This will be brief. You have the most talented KU basketball team, EVER, at least on paper.

Kansas State journal- Questions: How much will the program change with Ron Prince at the helm? How has the program changed so far? NOT ON 1 Answers: Prince made his respect for Snyder known from the start and didn't want to think of himself as replacing Snyder. And rather than shake the program up. Prince said returning to what made Kansas State successful in the past is the key. "The main difference that I can see is that in 2003 Kansas State had a fast team," Prince said. "If you go all the way down the roster, all of the players that played, these players have played at a very fast rate and they were decisive players because they knew exactly how to run the play." As for how the players have adjusted to the regime change in Manhattan, a younger and more communicative coaching staff has made the transition smooth. "The biggest thing, I remember coming into his office, sitting down and watching TV with him," senior linebacker Brandon Archer said of Prince. "Just to be able to freely come in, sit down and just communicate, talk about whatever, it dawned on me that this is going to be good." Texas Tech Question: How confident are Leach's players in new starting quarterback, sophomore Graham Harrell? Answer. As for how Harrell was progressing under center in place of graduated Cody Hodges. Senior offensive lineman Manny Ramirez shared his observations. "I feel real confident in Graham Harrell, just because of the maturity he's shown and his knowledge of the game," Ramirez said. "The next three years, he's going to be the top dog and for every year that he's here, he's only going to get better." Kansas Question: After two bowl games in three years, what's the next step for Kansas football? What's the bigger concern, the youth entering the starting lineup on defense or the possibility of having a freshman starting quarterback in Kerry Meter? Answers: Mangino didn't get into many specifics as to where hed like to see his team by the end of the season, but he did discuss one area where his team could improve. "We've played well on the road, but we haven't won as many games on the road as we would have liked to." Mangino said. "That might be another step for the program. Not only play well on the road but get some road victories." Although quarterback Kerry Meier has yet to play a college down, for junior defensive tackle James McClinton, there's more concern about how the team will find replacements on defense for players such as Charles Gordon, Nick Reid and Charlton Keith. "I'd say more on defense, there's a lot of youth," McClinton said. "The linebackers, they're all young and haven't really played much. If you get them out there, let them mess up a couple plays, fix that correction and they're going to be really good players. On offense, I think Kerry Meier is going to hold it down." Questions: With the loss of quarterback Vince Young, how are his possible replacements looking? Has a National Championship changed coach Mack Brown? Texas Answers: Texas' leading candidates to replace Young are redshirt freshman Colt McCoy and true freshman Jevan Snead. Despite their youth, Brown was optimistic about their potential and said a year of experience in the system gave McCoy the advantage. "Colt's just been there longer," Brown said. "So, it's a very difficult thing for Jevan to come in in January and be pushed right into the offense." On the inside, Brown is certainly relieved to have the National Champion ship monkey off of his back, but on the outside, his players haven't noticed a difference. "Coach Brown is the same guy that recruited me however many years ago, since he showed up on my doorstep," senior cornerback Aaron Ross said. "He hasn't changed one bit since we won the National Championship." Oklahoma State Question: How potent can the Oklahoma State offense be? Answer: In 2005, sophomore running back Mike Hamilton rushed for nearly 1,000 yards and senior wide receiver D'Juan Woods accumulated more than 800 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. However, neither接收 any preseason accolades. Nevertheless, senior offensive lineman Corey Hilliard — who was named preseason All-Big 12 — was confident the Oklahoma State offense would turn some heads in 2006. He said it depended on the line blocking for quarterback Bobby Reid and Hamilton. "If we get in and protect Bobby and make lanes for Mike, I think we'll be one of the best, if not the best offense in the Big 12," Hilliard said. Colorado Questions: How have things changed at Colorado since the arrival of coach Dan Hawkins? Will the infamous blue playing surface in Boise State follow Hawkins to Colorado? Answers: In addition to some X's and O's adjustments, Hawkins has left his fingerprints on Colorado's practice routines. "When we first started spring ball, he had us lay down and take a two-minute nap during the middle of practice," senior offensive lineman Brian Daniels said. "After practice, held bring golf clubs out and wel have a closest-to-the-pin challenge or wel have an O-line, D-line seven-on-seven competition. Things like that are fun and make practice fun and make people excited to come to practice." Hawkins' unique coaching philosophies seem to have invigorated his players. In turn, some players have given Hawkins suggestions on how to make Colorado's field as unique as the blue Astro Turf at Boise State where Hawkins last coached. "I told him he should put in a black Astro Turf with gold lines," Daniels said. Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione, Iowa State coach Dan McCarney, Missouri coach Gary Pinkel and Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops are on the docket Wednesday as the Big 12 Media Days wrap up. Issues that are sure to arise today are whether Texas A&M will challenge Texas and Texas Tech for state supremacy, if this is the year Iowa State finally takes the north, how Missouri will fare in 2006 without Brad Smith and whether Oklahoma be atop the South when all is said and done. - Edited by Janiece Gatson FOOTALL (CONTINUED FROM 13) That confidence in youth carries to defense, where a new trio of linebackers will attempt to replace some of the best in Kansas history. The new linebackers, sophomores Mike Rivera and Joe Mortensen, both played limited minutes last season, either on special teams or in a set defensive package. With their athleticism and situational experience, teammates don't expect the new linebacking corps to miss a beat. "I don't believe there's going to be any drop off," senior offensive lineman David Ochoa said. "Athletically, they're light years ahead of any linebackers we've had. They're faster, they're stronger and that's just a result of good recruiting." "Confidence comes with consistency and those guys work tough everyday," Ochoa said. "It showed in spring ball, those guys were flying around, hitting guys in the mouth and I have 100 percent confidence in any position that they fill." Mangino said he's also been impressed with freshman running back Jake Sharp. The Salina native came to Kansas after being one of the state's top high school players last season. "Confidence comes from consistency and those guys work tough every day." Ochoa said there's no reason not to have faith. Kansas kicks off the 2006 season Sept. 2 against Northwestern State at 6 p.m. at Memorial Stadium. Sharp is likely to see action on special teams this season, Mangino said. Despite inexperience at key positions. "He's mature beyond his years," Mangino said. "He eats it and sleeps it. He's the hardest working freshman I've ever seen." DAVID OCHOA Senior offensive lineman Talib recognized: Sophomore Aqib Talib was named to the preseason All-Big 12, the conference announced earlier this week. Talib started nine games last season and recorded two interceptions and Big 12 Media Day Notes: 54 tackles. Kansas tabbed fourth: The Jayhawks were picked to finish fourth in the Big 12 North, in the conference media poll released earlier this week. Ahead of Kansas was Nebraska, Iowa State and Colorado, with Missouri and Kansas State rounding out the poll. Oklahoma was picked as the favorite in the South division, followed by Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Baylor.

You might want to think before you take an important action that involves others. Seek out information. You easily could lose your temper with loved ones and a child. Tonight: Get some physical exercise. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) (April 20-May 20) **** You get a lot done quickly. Your ability to be efficient and get past a hassle allows you to clear out a misunderstanding. Still, you might be much feisier than you recognize. Others seem to want to call the shots. Tonight: Say yes. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★ Allow greater creativity to emerge in your life. You see that much happens very quickly. Be easygoing and open to positive changes. You might want to funnel your attention to one item at a time. Tonight: Don't lose your focus. CANCER (June 21-July 22) LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) **** You come from a solid point of view. Consider how important your personal and domestic life is before agreeing to a risk. You might not be happy with the end results. You might be able to bypass an expenditure. Tonight: Lively -- aren't we? ★★★ You might want to VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ You might want to rethink a decision that involves family. You could suddenly find anger rising to the surface. Use your feelings to make good decisions and head in the correct direction. You could be seeing life through others' eyes. Tonight: Anchor in on your priorities. ★★★ You might want to think through a decision before you get caught up in another's issues. You will find that someone might be hurtful. You also could be overly sensitive or touchy. Don't shut down. Keep communication flowing. Tonight: Test out your ideas on someone who cares. **** Use the early part of the day positively. You have the Force with you. A collision with someone about spending or a financial problem emerges. Your knee-jerk reaction could start a problem. Say no calmly. Tonight: Fun doesn't have to cost. (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) LIBRA (Oct.23-Nov.21) ★★★ Don't shut down if you have a problem. Be willing to head in a different direction or accept a novel approach to a problem. As the day becomes older, you become vibrant, with much kick. Watch where you kick! Tonight: Easy does it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.21) SCORPIO ★★★ You might have mixed feelings and a different point of view. If you work within your immediate circle, you'll get results. Don't try to negate another's information, even if you don't like what you hear. Tonight: Get extra sleep. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19) (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Others take to heart your sense of direction. Don't expect everyone to agree with you, because it is an impossibility. A partner lets you know the lay of the land, at least according to him. Tonight: Togetherness works. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18) ***** You might be surprised by what happens if you kick back and detach. Your point of view changes radically. A partner might be a touch upset by your change of tune. What you hear might startle you. Tonight: Others look to you for ideas. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ A partner makes demands that you need to think about, even if you prefer not to. Investigate alternatives, especially if you hit a big snufa in your daily life. Take an overview, especially if you are in a stressful situation. *Tonight: Take in a movie.* crossword. 1 ACROSS 1 — -game show 4 Scot's chapeau 7 Trounce 8 The little mermaid 10 Roost 11 Stuck (in) 13 "Gigot" star 16 Firmament 17 What Newcastle doesn't need 18 Seek restitution 19 Welles role 20 Credit-card outcome 21 Puts in the post 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 22 29 30 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 40 41 42 43 44 48 49 50 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 56 57 58 59 23 Insufficient 25 Snitched 26 Verdon of Broadway 27 — Baba 28 Knapsack part 30 NAFTA signatory 33 One-time editor --at Doubleday 36 Theater district 37 Cogitate 38 Frighten 39 Charged bits 40 "This — test" 41 Gear tooth at Doubleday DOWN 1 Shelley or Faith 2 Torture device 3 Moral 4 Storybook bridge guardian 5 Staffers 6 Enormous (Pref.) 7 Bill 8 Seaweed 9 Of lower status 10 Nightwear, for short 12 Question 14 Many millennia 15 Profit 19 Tease 20 Dress in 21 Bicuspid neighbor 22 Keys or Silverstone 23 Ugly duckling, later on 24 Re the liver 25 — Mahal 26 Wedding VIP 28 Eliot's Marner 29 Aquarium dweller 30 Utilizing 31 Sermon subjects 32 Request 34 Destructive Hindu goddess 35 "Scram!" εη sudoku Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers.

Kansas City, Mo., 8:00 p.m., $30.00-$39.50, www.ticketmaster.com Is there any better way to remember the good old days of high school than by relaxing under the stars enjoying an amazing musical such as Grease? Right now is the perfect time to take advantage of this chance because Grease is coming to Starlight Theater in Kansas City, Mo. The show is complete with the classic songs including "Summer Lovin", "Hopelessly Devoted to You" and "Born to Hand Jive". Amanda Watkins and Ryan Silverman lend their talents to the show as they take on the leading roles of Sandy Dumbrowski and Danny Zuko. Watkins' repertoire includes musicals such as Cats, Cabaret and Beauty and the Beast. Silverman, who is from Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, has performed in Hello Dolly!, Sweeny Todd and Blood Brothers to name a few. The musical has earned many credits since its debut in the spring of 1971 at Kingston Mines Theatre in Chicago. It holds the record for the longest running show in Broadway history with 3,388 performances from 1972 to 1980. Then, the musical showed again from 1994 to 1998 earning the record for second-longest running revival in the history of Broadway. Finally, the movie version of Grease, produced in 1978 starring Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, gained the title of the top mopmoneyaking film musical ever, exceeding even The Sound of Music. Besides the national recognition this musical has, the performance at Starlight Theater has specific connection to the University of Kansas. Luke Walker, a KU freshman from DeSoto, is a member of the chorus in this particular performance of Grease. Walker's high school received a call a month after auditions for Grease had ended; Starlight was looking for any interested students to sing in the chorus for the summer performance. Walker jumped at the opportunity. He auditioned and joined the musical as one of 46 chorus members. It has been nonstop practice for Walker since July 13, when the chorus members saw their music for the first time. His favorite part of the show so far has been the large group rehearsals. He stated that it was neat to see everything come together as a whole performance. The other aspect of the show that Walker enjoys is the interaction with new people. "When I first got here, I didn't know anyone, and now I have 10 or 15 new, really close friends," Walked said enthusiastically. Grease opened at Starlight Theater in Kansas City, Mo., on July 24, and will continue showing until July 30. Tickets are available at www.kcstarlight.com.
