Hemenway, others made to answer for NCAA violations
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
While what was said at the meeting is being held close to the vest, some information can be gleaned from the reactions of various meeting participants.
BALTIMORE — A little more than eight hours after marching into a meeting room at the Tremont Hotel to discuss violations of NCAA rules, a group of Kansas officials emerged looking stonefaced and serious.
The hearing began at 8 a.m.
Participants took breaks every few hours. Following an hour-long break for lunch, the meeting resumed and was said to be moving quicklv.
What exactly went on behind those doors will remain unknown for what Chancellor Robert Hemenay described as at least five to seven more weeks, but what will transpire once a decision is reached is now more clear.
Attorney Rick Evard said that the University will be notified that the NCAA has reached a decision 48 hours before it is made public. Within 24 hours, the University will be made aware of the decision. Finally, a press conference will be scheduled to make the NCAA's decision public.
The Kansas Athletics Department placed itself on two years of probation and the football and women's basketball programs had several scholarships stripped as part of Hemenway's punishment, as reported initially to the NCAA last summer.
The most serious charge facing the University is an allegation of "lack of institutional control"
SEE NCAA ON PAGE 7A
The NCAA is expected to announce additional sanctions — if any — against Kansas by mid-October.
All did not seem as well later in the afternoon, however. An unidentified official with the NCAA, who was asked how the meeting was progressing, sighed and shook her head. Shortly thereafter, associate athletics director Jim Marchiony indicated the meeting had hit a wall.
The hearing moves Kansas' violation case closer to completion. It remains to be determined whether self-imposed sanctions would be approved by the NCAA.
The committee took a final break about 4:30 p.m., but dismissed less than half an hour later.

Welcome to the world of 'You' New Web site genre lets users post videos, gains following at KU
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Move over Facebook, step aside MySpace: a new online community called YouTube is increasing in popularity. The Web site is joined by other online video sharing sites such as Google video and Yahoo video.
The site's slogan, "Broadcast Yourself," beckons people to create and post homemade videos. Within seconds of signing on viewers can watch anything from music video to clips of a user's cat to segments from their favorite television shows.
KU students are joining the millions worldwide who are visiting the site to see funny, embarassing or interesting videos. The site is changing the scope of the media by putting creative control of the content in the hands of the users, whether they are
professionals or amateurs. This interactive video aspect has set YouTube apart from other social community sites, like MySpace or Facebook, and has enticed the University to take advantage of the site.
Daniel Toy, a 2004 graduate from Wichita, said the varied and user-friendly site caught his attention after he learned about it from friends.
"The videos are so random," Toy said. "You can find videos of just about anything you search for, and you actually get to see how odd some people can be and how far they will go for attention. If I need a good laugh I can usually find it on YouTube."

Hashinger receives face lift, retains former charm
STUDENT HOUSING
BY MATT ELDER
The shuffling of students replaced the sound of hammers as Hashinger Hall reopened Sunday. After $13 million in renovations, students began moving into the hall for the first time in a year.
Diana Hall, Horton senior, lived in Hashinger before the renovations and moved back again Sunday.
Diana Robertson, interim director of the Department of Hous-
"I wouldn't live anywhere else," she said. "This is home."
ng, said she thought the result was one both the University and the students would enjoy.
"It's got a renewed life now," she said. "It had been nearly 40 years old, and hopefully has another 40."
The renovated hall now houses a larger performance theater with a raised roof and extended walls, and relocated studio and practice space. Hashinger will also have a new dining facility on its south end with outdoor patio space and Pulse, a coffee shop. Pulse will have open mic nights with poetry and live music. Both will
open Aug. 21.
Rocertson said that while construction would continue through the next few weeks, students shouldn't be bothered by the commotion.
While the hall does present several eye-catching changes, the majority of renovations occurred within its walls. Robertson cites the building's infrastructure as the most significant change.
"We gutted everything," she said. "Everything's brand new."
Each room in the hall will now
have its own sink for the first time in Hashinger's history. Hashinger will also have several single rooms throughout the building. In the past, only doubles were available to students.
"We're keeping that Hash feel," Robertson said. "Hashinger has always had a unique community and unique culture. It's a special place."

Differential tuition not a certainty
New dean: Various sources of potential new funding must be researched
Joseph Steinmetz, the recently arrived dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said development of a strategic plan must come before a decision could be made to proceed with a differential tuition plan for the college.
BY KIM LYNCH
Reports that differential tuition could be added to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences as soon as the 2007-08 school year may be premature, a CLAS official said.
A differential tuition proposal would have to be developed by March 1, 2007, so it could be presented to the Board of Regents at its May meeting. Linda Eakin, vice provost for administration and finance,
previously said. The proposal would also need to have student support to be submitted to the Regents.
These constraints make it unlikely that the proposal could be developed by the deadline, presented to students and reviewed in time to be given to the Regents for the 2007-08 school year.
Differential tuition is an additional fee per credit hour taken, in addition to tuition, paid directly to the school or college that offers a particular course. The amount students pay depends on which school they are enrolled in.
The college proposed a differential tuition plan during the 2004-05
school year, but the measure failed when students balked at the idea.
Steinmetz is interested in looking into differential tuition, but only after the strategic plan is complete can differential tuition be seriously examined, he said.
"Differential tuition, along with funds from private donors and the state, are potential sources of additional funds. I think it is prudent at this point to look at all options for increased funding." Steinmetz said.

KSU to research fuel additive
Department of Agriculture funds research to turn vegetation into ethanol
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas State University imagines a day when the
WICHITA — Kansas researcher Bikram Gill imagin state's annual prairie burns give way to turning the unwanted debris into automobile fuel.
"We may harvest the grass residue and woody brush as a marketable crop" he said. "This is very exciting."
Such a process is still far down the road, but Kansas State took another step forward this week when the U.S. Department of Agriculture selected it to take part in a $5.7 million program looking at other ways to develop
"We are going to be looking at the genes of the cell wall,looking for ways they can be manipulated to make that bond easier to break."
connot, an alternative fuel usually made with corn.
Gill's group is one of nine projects and will receive $700,000 to do genetic research on making different types of vegetation, such as native switchgrass, more conducive to being turned into ethanol.
BIKRAM GILL Researcher, Kansas State University
Scientists know plants are rich in cellulose, which is similar to the basic sugars used in making ethanol. But plants can also be much tougher to break down than corn.
"Plant cell walls have a very strong bond...which makes the wall very rigid." Gill said. "We are going to be looking at the genes of the cell wall, looking for ways they can be manipulated to make that bond easier
The project, being done in conjunction with
the Noble Foundation in Oklahoma, is almost the opposite of how Kansas State agriculture researchers normally work, trying to make crops more resistant to disease, drought and the cold. The chemical bonds being targeted in this study help wheat hold heavier heads of grain and grass stalks stand taller.
Gill said the study likely won't lead to weaker wheat straw. Instead, researchers can take what they learn from wheat and apply it to grasses, where the need to hold heavy grain heads isn't as important.
"Switchgrass, which is a native prairie grass, is very promising," he said. "It's very productive and grows fast."
Gill stressed that the research, which will be done in partnership with the Noble Foundation in Oklahoma, is the first of many steps required to see if such ethanol production is viable.
"finding the right genes to alter to get what you want and avoid what you don't want could take a long time." Gill said.

odd news
Unusual red oak tree spits out 'blessed water'
SAN ANTONIO - Is it an artesian spring, a broken water pipe or an abandoned well?
Lucille Pope's red oak tree has gurgled water for about three months, and experts can't seem to get to the root of the problem.
Pope, 65, has sought answers from the Texas Forest Service, the Edwards Aquifer Authority and nurseries. They have taken pictures and conducted studies, but none have arrived at a firm answer.
Lucille Pope has started to wonder if the water has special properties. Her insurance agent dabbed drops of the water on a spider bite and the welt went away, she said.
"I just want to know if it is a healing tree or blessed water," she said. "That's God's water. Nobody knows but God."

Trooper J.S. Crane just happened to be walking nearby as Hunter was relieving himself.

During a search of the pickup, Crane and another trooper found a marijuana pipe and pills for which Richardson had no prescription.
Both men were arrested for public intoxication. Hunter also is charged with indecent exposure and Richardson is charged with possessing controlled substances.

University proposes tuition plan
Board of Regents considering a guaranteed tuition plan for 2007 freshmen
BY KIM LYNCH
A guaranteed base tuition plan for all incoming 2007 freshmen was proposed to the Board of Regents by the University of Kansas at a meeting in May.
No decision was made regarding the proposal. The Regents wanted more details on how the guaranteed-tuition plan would work, said Kip Peterson, director of Government Relations & Communications. The Regents must approve the proposal before the guaranteed base tuition plan can go into effect.
Student body president Jason Boots said the proposal, which was first brought to the administration by 2004 student body president Steve Munch, would continue to be advocated.
Under the proposal, the four year guaranteed tuition would only be available for incoming freshmen. Other students, including graduate students and transfer students, would pay the nonguaranteed tuition
rate for that year, Boots said.
Ben Cartwright, Spokane. Wash, graduate student, said the guaranteed tuition proposal sounded reasonable because students affected by the plan would be able to budget for their college careers.
Under the proposal, freshmen would pay more during the first two years of the plan than the students paying the nonguaranteed tuition. During the last two years, those students would be paying less than the nonguaranteed tuition payees.
It is supposed to balance out, Boots said.
Jenna McMillen, Wichita sophomore, said as long as it was balanced and students were charged equally, then she was for it.
The nonguarante:d tuition rate would be mainly determined by inflationary rates, Boots said.

If a student does not graduate in four years, he or she will lose the guaranteed tuition rate and go back to the nonguaranteed tuition rate, Boots said.

SCIENCE
Naming of space discovery calls definition of 'planet' into question
BY ALICIA CHANG
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Our solar system is suffering an identity crisis.
ed? And what is a planet, anyway?
For decades, it has consisted of nine planets, even as scientists debated whether Pluto really belonged. Then the recent discovery of an object larger and farther away than Pluto threatened to throw this slice of the cosmos into chaos.
Should this newly found icy rock known as "2003 UB313" become the 10th planet? Should Pluto be demot-
Ancient cultures regularly revised their answer to the la't question and present-day scientists aren't much better off. There still is no universal definition of "planet."
That all could soon change, and with it science textbooks around this planet.
At a 12-day conference beginning Monday, scientists will conduct a galactic census of sorts. Among the possibilities at the meeting of the International Astronomical Union in the Czech Republic capital of
Prague: Subtract Pluto or christen one more planet, and possibly dozens more.
"It's time we have a definition," said Alan Stern, who heads the space science division of the Southwest Research Institute of San Antonio. "It's embarrassing to the public that we as astronomers don't have one."
The debate intensified last summer when astronomer Michael Brown of the California Institute of Technology announced the discovery of a celestial object larger than Pluto. Like Pluto, it is a member of the Kuiper Belt, a mysterious disc-shaped zone beyond Neptune containing thousands of comets and planetary objects. (Brown nicknamed his find "Xena" after a warrior heroine in a cheesy TV series; pending a formal name, it remains 2003 UB313.)
The Hubble Space Telescope measured the bright, rocky object at about 1,490 miles in diameter, roughly 70 miles longer than Pluto. At 9 billion miles from the sun, it is the farthest known object in the solar system.

Renovations at Wescoe include infill, violations

Amid concerns about air circulation and possible fire code violations in its lecture halls, Wescoe Hall continues to undergo renovations on its south side.

Steeples agreed that the renovations would make things more comfortable for faculty in Wescoe. He said although the University

He said he was confident, however, that the noise would not be enough to disrupt classes. He added that the entrances and exits to the building would not be affected by the construction.
"Most of the jackhammer work was done in the summer, and the contractor has been instructed to perform the noisiest activities during hours or days when classes are not in session," Steeples said.
The renovations will lead to the construction of 70 new offices for faculty and staff, primarily from the history and Spanish departments.
Ted Wilson, chairman of the history department, said members of his staff were excited by the opportunity for new office space in a building that hasn't been a pleasant place to work. He said they also looked forward to having the faculty consolidated in the same office area.

"The infill project will help alleviate, but not
eliminate, overcrowding;" Steeples said.
As for the fire code violation, which was not related to the construction. Steeples said the fire department ordered the closure of rooms 3139 and 3140 — the two large lecture halls in the building — on Aug. 7 because of concerns about safe exit routes. He said the closure was temporary and he expected the rooms would be available for the first day of classes on Thursday.
With the air circulation problem and fire code violation being addressed, administrators and faculty are free to look forward to the results of the renovations, which could make the so-called ugliest building on campus a little more attractive.

SOMETHING
This artist's rendering shows the preliminary development plan for 12th and Indiana Streets, current home to The Crossing, Yello Sub and Head Rush.
Say goodbye to a KU landmark
For those students who were gone over the summer, you may have missed the bad news: The Crossing, 618 W, 12th St., won't be with us much longer.
Manhattan attorney Robert Pottrott bought the property that houses The Crossing on June 19. Less than two weeks later, Pottrott, along with Jeff and Kathy Morrow, property owners of Head Rush, 622 W. 12th St., Yello Sub, 624 W. 12th St., submitted a proposal to the Lawrence/Douglas County planning office to radically alter the corner of 12th and Indiana streets where the three businesses are located. In their place, the group plans to erect a five-story mixed-use commercial and residential building. The 34,000-square-foot complex will house 15 condominiums,
three businesses and a two-story underground parking garage.
Needless to say, it will be an eyesore. The building's vapid glass and brick design is unwelcoming; the property as a whole will seem artificial and out of place among the neighborhood's old houses and apartment buildings. It will rival some buildings on campus in size.
Unfortunately, these architectural shortcomings are only part of a larger problem: the gentrification of Lawrence, particularly those areas where students live and congregate. The Hobbs Taylor Lofts, 750 New Hampshire, have already blighted downtown; now it's campus' turn. In this scheme, money trumps tradition and the bottom line is all that matters.
Aside from a few buildings on
campus, the history of The Crossing and its relationship with KU is unparalleled. Known as the Rock Chalk Café when it opened in 1923, the business has weathered five name changes and multiple owners, remaining one of Lawrence's favorite student hangouts through it all. It's hard to imagine students getting together to sit on hard plastic benches near a tawdry little fountain.
The Crossing and its predecessors have been more than just bars — they have been this university's cultural barometer. In the 1950s, the Café was a favorite hangout of the city's Beats; literary giants Alan Ginsburg and William S. Burroughs are rumored to have made at least one appearance there. In subsequent years, the bar alternately drew hippies and punks. Though currently a favorite of the greek community, everyone is still welcome to drop by on lazzy Monday afternoons.
This summer, an online petition to save The Crossing collected 4,700 signatures, a significant amount but one that's ultimately meaningless. Signatures aren't measured in dollars
Nothing will happen to The Crossing in the near term. The design plans need to be approved and other requirements fulfilled before construction can begin on the new building. But The Crossing's days are numbered. When it's gone, Lawrence and KU will have lost something special.

Students: know your rights
This semester, we have chosen to run our nation's Bill of Rights in the first issue of the new school year, and we hope all future Kansan editors will do the same. We stand behind each amendment, particularly the first, and encourage all students to become familiar with this important document. Many other newspapers print the Bill of Rights each year on the Fourth of July; we've chosen today to set the tone for this semester at the Kansan.

COMENTARY
Nontraditional students are here to stay
David Guth's analogies ranged from camels to sausages trying to describe the difficulties he has scheduling classes each semester. My personal favorite: "Scheduling is sometimes like working a Rubik's Cube puzzle wearing a blindfold."
As a non-traditional student, I understood what he was getting at. When enrolling for classes this semester, I discovered that two journalism classes I needed to take were only offered at 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. — the exact times that my 12-year-old stepdaughter needs to be taken to and picked up from junior high.
Guth, associate dean of the School of Journalism, said he schedules classes around faculty and room availability, while also considering the needs of students.

BY COURTNEY FARR
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
I didn't want to take a semester off, either. I've taken two long breaks from school in the past. A third break and I may never finish
of my personal decisions against family responsibilities.
I couldn't take the classes in question during the summer because I needed to work full-time. Families aren't cheap.
Other nontraditional students face similar challenges, said Susie Santee, Lawrence sophomore and president of the Nontraditional
Student Foundation.
According to the latest statistics on KU's Web site, in 1999 there were at least 3,908 nontraditional students enrolled at the Lawrence campus, though there may have been as many as 5,000, about 25 percent of all students.
Santee has two children, and this semester she was unable to take Math 105, a required class, due to scheduling conflicts. She said she hoped to raise awareness of the challenges nontraditional students face and the force they represent on campus.
In addition to scheduling conflicts, test taking can also present challenges. Cory Kelly, West Des Moines, Iowa, sophomore and nontraditional student senator, said he addressed the issue last year because his Biology 100 class held three exams during the semester that met
from 8 to 10 p.m. Such tests can create additional burdens for student-parents who may not be able to obtain or afford childcare during that time.
tionary biology, said he schedules biology exams in the evening to give students two hours to work, rather than the normal 50-minute class period.
Craig Martin, chair of the department of ecology and evolu-
Martin said he encouraged students to attend the evening tests
and helped them when necessary. "If someone has a legitimate reason, which in the past has included childcare, then I work with them."
But while Martin said that he does m *ae* exceptions, he discourages students from missing the test because the class has about 1,000 students. Once, he told a student she could bring her child to the test,

which she did.
Kelly said he felt the evening testing policy was very inflexible.
"My experience with faculty and staff is that we're no different from a 19-year-old student. It's very frustrating and we're trying to bring that
to light," said Kelly, an armed forces vetepan.
I don't expect Guth or anyone else to rearrange an entire schedule just because I have a conflict. But I do ask that administrators, faculty and students remember that nontraditional students are here, and that we make up a large portion of the student body. We represent more students than the Greek community and student-athletes combined.
To keep me in school and minimize the impact on our girl.
We're here. Just keep that in mind.
my fiancé and I think we've made arrangements so that we can all survive the semester without too many problems. For instance, there is an after-school program available at my stepdaughter's junior high that she can attend until I am done with class.

TRANSPORTATION
Ridership increases cause bus system to evaluate capabilities
Gas prices put pressure on system to compensate for additional use
BY MARK VIERTHALEK
Emi Erekosima sat underneath the bus stop awning at Ninth and Massachusetts Streets one muggy morning in early July. As Erekosima waited for the bus, she watched the downtown clientele shuffle by underneath the weight of the humidity. The benches next to her were filled with fellow bus riders.
"The advantages are good because you pay 50 cents and ride it for two hours," Erekosima, a Rose Hill sophomore, said. "You can get a transfer to any other bus."
Like Erekosima, many people who don't have cars have begun to use the city bus system. However, the increase is beginning to strain Lawrence's available resources.
Cliff Galante, Lawrence public transit administrator, said ridership has risen 16 percent from a year ago within the transit system or the "T". The numbers have yet to dip or even reach a plateau.
"On a given month, it could be higher," Galante said. "There are a variety of factors. There's growing
knowledge about the system. Rising fuel costs are a definite factor."
When the system began in 2001, the buses averaged 200,000 people in one year. Galante said more than 500,000 riders have been logged this year.
Lawrence has a unique situation. From January 2005 to January 2006, the Washington D.C. public transit system reported a 6 percent increase in its ridership. The American Public Transportation Association said public transit use increased only about 1 percent nationwide between 2004 and 2005.
However, the local increase is beginning to put pressure on the bus system. People have noticed that it's not convenient to plan your life around a bus that runs on a 40-minute schedule.
Erekosima said the buses didn't come as often as she would like. She waits about 15 minutes on average. If she is going to work, she has to take an earlier bus and ends up waiting almost half an hour at her job.
Danny Kaiser, KU assistant direc-
tor of parking and transit and mem
ber of the Lawrence Transit Advisory Board, said the "T" could absorb the increase in ridership, but only for so long. Route Eight, running from campus to south Iowa and downtown, is completely full from start to finish, Kaiser said.
"Our first priority is to increase the frequency," Kaiser said. "The least frequent routes around town are the most used."
The city has also begun working with KU on Wheels for ways to take some of the increasing pressure off the system.
Riders exit from a city transit bus. The "T" system has seen a spike in ridership during recent months.
Dan Boyle and Associates Inc., a San Diego transit planner, has been hired to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of completely integrating KU on Wheels with the "T"
To encourage students to switch, Kaiser said the "T" has also begun offering a double pass for those already with KU on Wheels memberships. Students have the option of adding an unlimited use "T" pass for $25. As for integrating the systems to alleviate the building pressure, Galante said it wasn't feasible at this time.
system.
KU on Wheels runs on an 80-minute schedule, depending on classes. This is one of the main issues that has arisen as they look to integrate the systems. But before anything can be done, Galante said, the city must find
out what the people want.
"We would have to figure out how it would be governed," he said. "What do people want? Where is there room for improvement?"
Kansan staff writer Mark Vierdaler can be contacted at mvierdaler@ kansan.com.
The city expects the study to be finished in November.

STUDENT SENATE
SLAB plans to cut college costs with new legislation
BY NATE MCGINNIS
The Student Legislative Awareness Board is working on two new pieces of legislation to reduce the cost of college for University of Kansas students.
Ian Staples, Lawrence senior and legislative director of SLAB, said the group is developing the Returning Heroes Education Act and a proposal for tax-free textbooks. SLAB hopes the bills will be introduced in January in the Kansas legislature.
help "to make Kansas an appealing place for people to get an education," Staples said.
Specific details of the legislation have not been confirmed yet, but SLAB is working on several variations of the bill.
One version of the Act focuses on helping out-of-state veterans who want to attend KU. This version could potentially grant in-state tuition to out-of-state veterans who agree to reside and work in Kansas for a set period of time.
as a full-time student at KU.
The other bill would help offset students' costs of textbooks and materials. According to Staples, students attending four-year public universities spent 26 percent of their total bill on textbooks and supplies during 2003-2004.
Staples is putting together a bill that would make required materials such as textbooks, electronic media and supplemental workbooks available to students tax-free in the state of Kansas.
Phil Mears, Leavenworth senior, said that the cost of textbooks cause him to share books with classmates or not purchase a class book at all.
He thinks a tax-free textbook plan would help college students.
"Because of the fact that the textbooks are so expensive, it puts the less wealthy students at a disadvantage," Mears said.
Mears said hed be more likely to purchase a textbook if it were tax-free.
Before any of the legislation can take affect, Staples must present the ideas to the other members of SLAB. After the group has discussed the legislation, it will create an issue agenda outlining what it wants to lobby for during the upcoming year. SLAB will then present the agenda to Student Senate who can either
approve or disapprove the agenda. If the agenda is approved by Student Senate, the earliest any piece of legislation could be introduced to the legislature is January when the new session begins.

YOUTUBE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
The Web site, which began in December 2005, currently boasts six million visitors per day on a library of 100 million free videos. In May, Hitwise, an Internet monitoring company, declared YouTube the most trafficked video site on the Web, beating out competitors Yahoo video and Google video.
YouTube is similar to Yahoo video as both sites allow users to post their videos and keep track of ratings and views for each video. Anyone who wants to post videos on the sites has to sign up for a page and then upload videos from their cameras or computers. Users can also create playlists from videos posted by others to feature on their pages. Users on both sites can create user-names and custom pages to present their original videos and join groups centered on their favorite videos. But other video-sharing sites such as Google video are not as centered around a community environment. Google video users can also post free videos, but the featured videos found on Google video come from Web sites instead of user posts. Many videos on Google video are also only previews and require viewers to purchase or rent the content.
Videos posted on YouTube must be shorter than ten minutes unless they are verified as original content
under a YouTube director's account. Users simply have to apply online to post their own original videos longer than 10 minutes. The free service identifies each registered user with a red director's logo on their video pages and profiles.
KU students are among the visitors taking advantage of YouTube's unique features. More than a dozen videos are currently posted on the site tagged with the University of Kansas. Almost 170 are linked under Lawrence ranging from clips of the March 12 storm to concerts at The Bottleneck.
One of these hundreds of videos is Richmond, Va., sophomore Jessica King's video-montage tribute to the KU men's basketball team's Big 12 championship run. King string together images of the basketball team she found on various Web sites. After realizing the growing popularity of YouTube, she decided to post it for the public on the site.
"I was just making the video for myself and I noticed that other people were posting theirs, so I posted mine," King said.
One of the most popular KU-related videos on the Web site is another video tribute to Kansas's basketball. The three-and-a - half minute video, which showcases highlights from last year's season synchronized
to the Black Eyed Peas "Pump It" has been viewed over 7,000 times.
While many use the site for entertainment, others use it for more educational purposes, like Toy. In July, Toy posted a 25-second video he made for a poetry class his senior year at KU featuring toy cars tooling around Wescoe Beach. He posted his video to see if anyone would watch it.
"It's really a social network that allows video sharing," Toy said. "Any site that allows interaction between users across the nation or world is calling all students. Just about everyone I know has heard of it."
Toy said the site was more appealing to him than other online social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook because of its multimedia video element. YouTube actually allows users to embed selected videos in MySpace or other online diary Web sites.
According to the site, YouTube began as a "personal video sharing service" to allow people to capture everything from special events to mundane daily activities. In a forwarded press release, YouTube maintains that it is a free stage for both entertainment and personal promotion.
The University of Kansas is also taking advantage of the free self-
promotion. The Office of University Relations posted two promo videos for KU in July. Entitled "The University of Kansas: A Great Place To Be," the videos show different elements of life at KU to the sound of the Rock Chalk chant.
Todd Cohen, interim director of the Office of University Relations, said the University decided to post the video to the Web to reach a greater audience with the promos than they would get if the spots ran strictly on television.
"You go where the people are," Cohen said. "This is one of the most popular social Web sites and we keep our ear to the ground for popularity. If videos are already being viewed by so many on the site, why not let them view one about KU? This is kind of an experiment for us."
Nearly 3,000 people have viewed the promo videos on the site. Cohen said he expected that number to go up once school started again and was working to post another video in the fall.
Cohen said the biggest appeal to KU using the site to advertise was the fact that it was free. The site offers all of its services for free, relying on funding from Sequoia Capital, a venture capital firm. Cohen said he wouldn't be surprised if the popularity of the site would push it to change
the way it provides its services.
"Who knows where YouTube will go," Cohen said. "Because of its popularity they might start charging, but we'll try it for as long as we can."
Yet for as many promotional aspects exist for the site just as many exploitative ones exist. A video of President Bush giving a back rub to German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the G8 conference in July was posted on YouTube to document the embarrassing actions of political leaders. Another video on YouTube called "Bushisms" focuses in on Bush's public speaking blunders. Yet another chronicle celebrities Brandon Davis and Paris Hilton after a night out as Davis spouted off insults toward actress Lindsay Lohan.
Political power players and celebrities aren't the only ones subject to scrutiny. Because the site is open to anyone, it has also allowed users to post funny and potentially embarrassing videos of others. King said that the embarrassment factor for regular people like herself on YouTube was one reason why she visited it so much. Toy agreed that the sometimes shocking and embarrassing content that is posted on the site keeps him coming back to check it out.
The freedom to post on the Web site has caused other snags. In
February, NBC asked YouTube to take down a video clip titled "Lazy Sunday" from a "Saturday Night Live" episode. According to The Washington Post, the clip circulated around the Internet after five million users downloaded it from YouTube, until lawyers from NBC cited "copyright concerns" with the video.
Though short clips from shows like "The Office" and "Project Runway" can be viewed on YouTube, the site implemented the director's program in March to regulate copyrighted content.
In spite of copyright concerns and embarrassment issues, the success of the site doesn't seem to be slowing down. Both King and Toy said they noticed that more and more of their friends are catching on and signing into the Web site. King said she even envisioned the site becoming more relevant to her life.
"I haven't thought about incorporating it into anything related to my school work, but that's a good idea," King said. "Maybe in the future sometime."

NCAA (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Evrard, the attorney representing the University for the purpose of investigating and reporting these violations, was Kansas' main speaker, those in the meeting said.
When approached at the airport as he left Baltimore, Evrard declined to comment further, choosing to re-emphasize what the Chancellor had already said.
All of the meeting participants were instructed by the infractions committee not to directly comment on the proceedings, other than the brief, prepared statement Hemenway issued after the meeting.
"We reaffirmed to the committee our absolute commitment to NCAA rules compliance." Hemenway said, flanked by Perkins and Marchiony.
"We felt the committee asked good questions, took their time, listened well and allowed us to fully explain our answers."
Hemenway added that the University would have no further comment on the matter until the committee announces its final decision.
When asked what the committee's ruling might be, Perkins declined to discuss specifics.
"It would be crazy to speculate," Perkins said.
Self, Mangino and Henrickson said they were also unable to comment.
"I can't say anything," Mangino said. "The committee has asked me not to say anything further."
NCAA committee members and those who investigated the Kansas case also declined to comment.
Among the most serious charges leveled against the University were academic fraud violations in the football program. The NCAA's notice of allegations also included impermissible benefits violations by the men's basketball program, including the case involving current player Darnell Jackson.
Violations in the women's basketball program included impermissible transportation given to recruits.

EMPLOYMENT
Student minimum wage raised
BY C.J. MOORE
University of Kansas student employees will be guaranteed a higher minimum wage following the third wage increase in five years.
On Aug. 1, the minimum wage for student employees increased from $6.50 to $7 as part of the fifth and final year of the Tuition Enhancement Plan, which has generated an extra $43 million for the University from increased tuition costs.
"By raising tuition, we feel we have an obligation to try to increase the wages and make our employment more attractive and feed some of that money back to the students who pay the tuition," said Lindy
Eakin, vice provost of administration and finance.
The first increase occurred in Jan. 2003 when the University raised the minimum wage for on-campus jobs.
When Riley Rothe, Wichita senior, started working as a student manager at Mrs. E's in the fall of 2003, his starting salary was $6.50. Rothe now makes $8.50 an hour. He said he expected to get another raise sometime this year, but with the minimum wage increase, Rothe said a raise is now unlikely.
"They had already figured out the budget for this year and they didn't figure in the extra 50 cents an hour for the new employees," Rothe said. "They just didn't expect that in the budget so they had to take it out of
somewhere else."
However, Eakin said Rothe should still get his raise under the new plan. Instead of a small raise like 20 cents, Eakin said Rothe should see his wage increase an additional 50 cents. Eakin said food services must still increase their wages because the University requires it based on a student's total hours of employment. "Our hope is that $7 is the minimum, not the average. Our goal is to be the attractive employer," Eakin said.

Student information systems, a new department to the University of Kansas this summer, launched an upgraded version of Enroll and Pay in July aimed at streamlining the complicated and confusing format of the former site.
The main improvement to the site is a page called "student center." This page encompasses all the most commonly used components of the old version simultaneously, including schedule of classes, holds, account summary and personal information. Hot links on the same page allow students to add or drop a class, select optional campus fees or view
Bob Turvey, director of student information systems and project director of the Enroll and Pay upgrade, said students most commonly complained about trouble they had navigating the site.
their financial aid packages, among other things. Previously students were required to navigate through a variety of different categories and links in order to find this information. But the function of the new Enroll and Pay system remains virtually the same.
Jennifer Holwick, Overland Park junior, said she liked the new version better than the old one.
"There are more options and stuff is easier to find," she said. "It looks cleaner than the old version."
The Enroll and Pay system is produced by a company called PeopleSoft and used by about 600 schools across the nation. Previously the university used version 8 of the Enroll and Pay software. The upgrade implemented version 8.9, making the University one of about a dozen schools in the nation to have the most up-to-date version of the software. Within a year the University expects to receive version 9 of the software, designed to further increase functionality for users.
Another component of the upgrade is an increase in the help
users receive when they have problems with the system.
On the student center page, users can click on a "Help-FAQ" link on the right-hand side of the screen. When clicked, the link redirects them to a site listing video tutorials, which offer step-by-step instructions specifically directing users where to click on the screen in order to complete certain tasks. The tutorials use actual screenshots of the Enroll and Pay system, making it easier for users to follow along with the tutorials.
Although users should find the software much easier to use than the previous version, bugs are still being worked out of the system because of the newness of the software. Students might experience a slow connection until Wednesday because of the large amount of users logging on to the system at the beginning of the semester, Turvey said.

Conflict needs understanding
Dialogue becomes necessary to solve and combat problems
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel lives by the motto that "labels are for shirts and not for people."
With the increasing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, Tiechtel's motto has become even more important to him. Tiechtel is co-director of the Chabad Jewish Center at the University of Kansas.
With KU students returning to Lawrence, Tiecktel is preparing himself for an onslaught of questions and misconceptions from students about the conflict.
Last month, members of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah crossed into Israel, killed three Israeli soldiers and kidnapped another two. The event set off a chain of violent events between Israel and Hezbollah. Israel began bombing the Lebanese city of Beirut and Hezbollah fired back with rockets.
"The greatest challenge today, especially with American youth, is simply the myths and confusion that strongly exist." Tiechtel said. "It is simple confusion of people on the role of Israel today."
Tiechtel said one of his goals for
Chabad was to be a source of information for Jews and non-Jews alike to give everyone the opportunity to ask questions.
"Everyone is invited," Tiechtel said. "Labels aside, our goal is to simply educate anybody and everybody who is interested in learning the true facts about the Jewish people or the land of Israel."
Though on a different side of the conflict, Nick Kallail, Derby third-year law student, also understands the misconceptions. Kallail is Lebanese and understands that his peers may examine the conflict from a more American point of view. He thinks a different perspective is important to better understand the situation.
"The important part is making sure that the ones who care are gaining a better understanding of what is happening there," Kallail said. "To get a more rounded understanding of what is happening, one can't solely rely on CNN or Fox for the facts. You have to take what they say and supplement it with talking to people from the region and looking at media reporting from other countries as well."
labels either. He said he had noticed a strong misconception through people's belief that it was Israel and Lebanon fighting and not Israel and Hezbollah, a small militant part of Lebanon.
Kallail doesn't feel strongly about
Both Kallail and Teictel agree that an open dialogue is necessary to combat the stereotypes and misconceptions. Kalleil said lectures or other programs might be valuable in helping people understand. Teictel plans to host events at the Chabad center to strengthen solidarity of its members and educate others.
"We are told in the Jewish religion that the greatest weapon to comsoat darkness is light," Teichel said. "In this situation the best we can do is good deeds and educate our brothers."

LEGISLATION
Business owners must make decision whether to ban concealed weapons
BY BART VANDEVER
Bobick Sarraf hasn't had to break up any fights in the 14 years he has owned Bambino's Italian Café. 1801 Massachusetts St. The Lawrence business owner described his restaurant as a place to "take it easy and relax."
Nonetheless, Sarraf said he was worried when he heard that on July
1, the Lawrence sheriff's office had started to supply applications to people who wanted to carry concealed weapons. This will be the first time Kansas law has allowed concealed weapons since 1886.
Sarraf said he and his staff had never given weapons much thought. "But I will tell you that the new law makes me feel a little uncomfortable," he said.
Doug Coffman, owner of Coffman's Repair & Custom Gunsmith Shop, 740 N. Seventh St., said many of his customers were getting applications. He said he planned to carry a concealed weapon himself.
Coffman said that concealing
"The training courses are more than adequate, and they're run by trained professionals," he said.
weapons would actually increase the safety of law-abiding Americans who carried a firearm.
He said the law would help citizens better protect themselves from a criminal attack.
Applicants must supply a recent photograph and a certificate from a firearms instruction course, pay a small fee and provide fingerprints in order to receive a permit to carry a
concealed weapon.
Any records of past criminal activity or mental illness must also be provided.
While no permits will be issued until 2007, not all retailers and customers feel safe. A 2005 CNN poll found that approximately two-thirds of all Americans would feel less safe in a public place that allowed concealed weapons.
To address the concern, the permit will prohibit bringing weapons within 200 feet of a bar or tavern.

Controversial, expensive vaccine available at Watkins
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
The controversial new vaccine for a sexually transmitted infection proven to cause cervical cancer is available at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Gardasil was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in June and made available at Watkins Aug. 1.
The vaccine protects against four strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which are spread through sexual contact more than 99 percent of the time.
Thirty strains of HPV affect the genital area. Of those, 15 are high-risk strains.
The vaccine protects against two strains that cause cervical cancer and two that cause most genital warts. According to the Food and Drug
Administration, those strains protected against by Gardasil are responsible for 70 percent of cervical cancers and 90 percent of genital warts.
According to the National Cervical Cancer Coalition, about 14,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year; more than 3,900 women die annually from the disease.
"When you look at it as the first cancer prevention vaccine, that's really exciting," said Kathy Guth, Watkins nurse practitioner. "This is just the first step."
Watkins recommends Gardasil for women who haven't been diagnosed with HPV or who haven't had sexual intercourse.
The vaccine is taken in a series of three shots, one the first day, one
two months later and one six months after the first shot.
Each shot costs $138 for students (a total of $414), but review companies are reviewing information to decide if they'll pay for some or all of it.
"Right now I think the cost might be a deterrent, and a lot of it is going to depend on how much insurance will pay." Guth said.
wilting, such that Guth said Watkins didn't have any reservations about carrying the drug, which was challenged by several conservative religious groups as promoting sexual promiscuity and devaluing sex.
Dennis Dailey, professor emeritus of human sexuality, had no qualms with the vaccine.
It's a health issue, not a moral
issue" he said. "it's about preventing a disease"
The concern that women who take this vaccine would "go out and become promiscuous sluts" is "a pile of crap." Dailey said. "I can't imagine a more degrading notion. It's not giving women much credit."
The Rev. Zachary Shallow at the St. Lawrence Catholic Center didn't think the vaccine would necessarily merit sexual promiscuity. He said the issue lay not in the question of women going out and becoming promiscuous, but in the sanctity of the act of sex.
"When you abstain from sex until you are married, the evidence is clear: You are healthier, period" he said. "If the virus is only transmitted through sexual activity then an immunization is unnecessary and it sends the wrong message to the child."
Shallow said the vaccine sent the wrong message by devaluing the sacredness of sexuality that should be preserved for marriage.
The University of Kansas was

The first vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, precancerous lesions, and genital warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). It's administered in three separate shots.

Do not take more than one dose of this vaccine if you have a history of cervical cancer or other malignancies. Visit your doctor for an appointment with your doctor.
Vaccines are given free from the national healthcare system of the United States.
If you have any questions, contact your doctor.

one of 17 sites in the United States that participated in a four-year study about the vaccine six years ago. The study was a major part of getting Gardasil on the market.
Guth hopes the vaccine will one day be a routine vaccination. Although men can also carry the virus, the vaccine has only been tested on women.
More studies would be necessary to create a vaccine for men.

Hawk Week appeals to all students
BY DARLA SLIPKE
Each year's Hawk Week activities are designed to provide a transition into the new school year for KU students. The events, including entertainment, food, friends and fun, are scheduled for the week leading up to the beginning of classes.
Coordinators said this year's events, which started Sunday and will continue until Saturday, should appeal to every type of student.
"We try to provide a variety of things so that all students can participate in something," Amanda Ostgulen, New Student Orientation special projects assistant, said. "We want to make sure the message is clear that this is not just for freshmen."
Four new events highlight this year's Hawk Week activities: A non-traditional student meet-and-greet, the Roll with Dole Supper and Ice-Cream Social and Dog Days.
The meet-and-greet session was added this year to ensure that nontraditional students were included
in the festivities. Shanda Hurla, the event coordinator, said the event was created in response to feedback from previous years. The event will be Wednesday from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Kansas Union.
The Roll with Dole Supper and Roll with Dole Ice Cream Social, also new this year, offer free food and a chance for students to learn more about the Dole Institute of Politics before and after Convocation on Wednesday night. The supper is at 6 p.m., followed by Convocation and the ice cream social at 9:15 p.m.
"I think this will be a great opportunity for students to meet with other students and faculty," Hurla said.
Another of this year's new activities, Dog Days, is open to students as well as members of the Lawrence community. At 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday, participants can meet at Memorial Stadium for a variety of exercise activities. The event is a continuation of the summer-long program that has been a community tradition for more than 23 years.
Night events usually attract a larger crowd. Ostgulen said. They provide a fun, social start to the school year, while smaller daytime events help students learn about campus resources and opportunities.

Mumps outbreak continues throughout summer
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Although University of Kansas students went home for the summer, the mumps stuck around.
"We were hoping it would fizzle away during the summer, but that didn't happen," said Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Mumps is an acute viral illness that causes cold-like symptoms and swollen salivary glands, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Officials at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department said Lawrence was still experiencing a mumps outbreak. An outbreak is no longer considered an outbreak after
50 days pass without any new cases.
Fifty cases were diagnosed in June, July and August in Douglas County; 22 of those were KU students.
This brings the total number of mumps cases in Douglas County for this outbreak to 311, of those, 244 were KU students. The Kansas state total is 844.
This is the biggest outbreak of mumps in Kansas since the 1980 to 1989 outbreak. In that six-month outbreak, 269 mumps cases were diagnosed in Douglas County Barbara Schnittker, director of nurses at the health department, said.
During '88 outbreak, the majority of mumps cases were children of elementary through high-school age. But the majority of cases in the current outbreak are people between the
ages of 18 to 26, Schnitker said.
She said there were several theories as to why different age groups were affected. The generally accepted theory is that the virus was introduced into close social networks where it was able to spread easily.
Denning said that mumps could experience a resurgence as students came back this fall, but it was hard to anticipate how many cases would occur.
"People still need to be aware and alert for any signs or symptoms," said Robert Brown, staff physician at Watkins.
Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness and loss of appetite followed by swelling of the parotid salivary glands, which are located within the cheek.
near the jaw line and below the ears,
according to the CDC.
To avoid the mumps, Denning recommends covering your nose and mouth with tissue, washing your hands often and not drinking or eating after anyone.
According to the CDC, complications with the mumps are rare but can include inflammation of the brain, the tissue surrounding the brain and spinal chord and the testes or ovaries, spontaneous abortion and permanent deafness.
"Very rarely are there serious complications with the mumps," Denning said. "This is a disease that's primarily a nuisance."
An isolation period of nine days is recommended to prevent the spread of the mumps. Schnitter said
although that period was important to stop the spread of mumps, it probably wasn't consistently followed.
All KU students are required to be immunized before coming to college, but the vaccine is only 90 to 95 percent effective, according to the health department. The department also said there was a possibility the vaccine could wear off.
Schnitker said mumps was typically a winter and spring illness, so she hoped that it would wear itself out.

K-State ranked ahead of KU in magazine study
The University of Kansas and Kansas State University have one more reason to continue their rivalry.
The September issue of Washington Monthly released the magazine's first ranking of socially responsible national schools. The University ranked 138 out of 225, placing it behind K-State, ranked at 113.
"Most schools are focused on tuition dollars," Frank said. "As tax payers and grant givers, we're trying to put a different kind of pressure on the schools."
T. A. Frank, Washington Monthly consulting editor, said the magazine felt it needed to create a more socially responsible list than US News.
He said schools that are actively making new, socially relevant discoveries were the highest rated. Washington Monthly used three equally weighted criteria, Frank said.
The first crite bility. Frank said social mobility was the school's ability to recruit and maintain enrollment with low-income students. The study looked at how many students received PELL Grants and how many of these students actually graduated.

Frank said the study was important for people to see their schools through a prism of social responsibility and not just academic achievement.
Richard Lariviere, University of Kansas provost, dismissed the study as unimportant.
"The proliferation of imitations of the US News rankings are of less and less interest," Lariviere said. "These magazine issues have become the equivalent of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue: big sellers, but of merely prudent interest."
Lariviere declined to comment on specifics of the study.

Safety office moves, gets much-needed space
BY DAVID LINHARDT
For 20 years the KU Public Safety Office operated out of former residence hall rooms at Carruth'O'Leary Hall. There wasn't enough space for three people to walk into a room and turn around.
Last month, however, the office got some space. The office moved to 1501 Crestline Drive, a building formerly used by KU Printing Services. Officials outsourced printing responsibilities last spring to Printing Solutions in Lawrence.
Don Steeple, vice provost for scholarly support, said the move gave the police a modern facility suited to meet needs their old facility couldn't.
"Of all the places I've toured on campus since I've been in charge of
space allocation, that was the one place I walked into and got claustrophobia because they were so crowded." Steeples said.
In 1985, the office moved out of what is now Budig Hall and into Carruth-O'Leary. The situation was supposed to be temporary, but it lasted until 2006.
Ralph Oliver, public safety director, had been asking for new space for about seven years.
The move and accompanying renovations to the public safety building cost the University about $650,000, Oliver said. It netted the officers and support staff 2,000 to 3,000 more square feet of space.
Before the move, officers had to store evidence in various locations around campus if there wasn't space in the Carruth-O'Leary office. The
officers' locker rooms were half the size of an average school locker, Oliver said.
The new public safety office now includes full-size locker rooms for men and women, and evidence storage and processing in one building. There's also a training room for public education programs.
Oliver said students ought to be able to find the office more easily because KU Police didn't have a sign outside Carruth-O'Leary.
Student workers who monitor cameras will have a much nicer area to work in, too, Oliver said.

Resource officers could mean quieter nights
BY DAVID LINHARDT
The Lawrence Police Department will add a new neighborhood resource officer program next year as a part of the city-wide budget approved by the City Commission on Aug. 8.
The new officer duties could include further crackdown on noise ordinance violators, though David Corliss, interim city manager, said that was not the sole intent of the program. The position would allow officers to serve as neighborhood resource officers.
"We have school resource officers, and it's somewhat modeled on that concept." Corliss said.
Duties for such an officer would include providing additional enforcement for neighborhoods and homeowner's associations, Corliss said.
Under a noise policy change from January 2005, Lawrence police can take enforcement action if they can verify a noise occurred and that
there had been a previous warning, said Dan Ward, Lawrence police spokesman.
The policy change lowered noise calls by 8 percent, Ward said. Before the change, officers had to contact in person anyone reporting a noise complaint to fill out paperwork.
Ward declined to discuss specifics of the neighborhood resource program because it was still in early developmental stages.
"We do believe the positions will provide better police service for the citizens of Lawrence when it comes to specific community issues." Ward said.
James Dunn, Oread neighborhood association president, said he hadn't heard of the new program, but that his organization was always concerned about neighborhood noise.
"There are a lot of ordinances in this town about living civilly," Dunn said. "The neighborhood association has worked with the city to more
aggressively help police deal with the ones already on the books."
Dunn said he hoped more students would get involved with neighborhood associations to increase awareness of noise problems and other issues.
KU students have protested noise laws repeatedly. Last spring the KU chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union joined other groups to ask city commissioners to alter the 2005 policy change that allowed officers to more easily enforce the ordinance.
Commissioners declined to change the ordinance. The University's then-ACLU president Justin La Mort said students should inquire about the noise issue again later in the year.

GREEK LIFE
Theta Chi members to move back in
BY MATT ELDER
Members of the Theta Chi fraternity will move back into their house this fall without several familiar faces. The fraternity's corporation board, made up of University of Kansas Theta Chi alumni, suspended five members following the 2006 spring semester.
The board conducted interviews last spring to evaluate members of the fraternity on their contributions to the house and to the Lawrence community.
"It was for the character of the chapter and to uphold its standards," said Brandon Dunklau, Olathe senior and new Theta Chi president, said.
Dunklau cites the fraternity's slight drop in overall grade point average, from a few select individuals, for the Board's intervention. While the house still ranks on campus among the upper fraternities on overall GPA, alumni have asked the house to aim for a higher standard.
"A couple of years ago we were top three in grades," Dunklau said.
But the board also has placed emphasis on improving areas other than academics. Community service, specifically involvement with the group's philanthropy, and member's involvement within the chapter all were heavily weighted in the interview process.
While the house's concerns of maintaining its standards are calmed, members are hoping for a strong freshman class to fill the house's more spacious halls. Theta Chi, 1003 Emery Road, expects to house 10 fewer members this upcoming school year.
"The chapter is down in numbers, but I think it helps with the number of quality guys that are going to give to the chapter," Dunklau said. "The house should see much more success."
While the role of alumni deciding status of active members has been met with resistance from the five suspended, the role of alumni in Greek affairs is not unheard of.
"It isn't a common thing, but it does happen," Wittlinger said. "And it happens on different levels."
The Theta Chi alumni chapter at KU has always been close to active members. This fall, alumni funded a project that remodeled much of the fraternity, getting it ready for both the familiar and the new faces it will house this fall.
The changing house mirrors the changing of personnel on the Theta Chi executive board. Dunklau was vice president of the fraternity before being moved into the presidential position, and Wittlinger's contributions with the Inner Fraternity Council led him to his vice-presidential seat.
"The transition went very smoothly with all people involved." Wittlinger said.

'Kilty Kane'starts season
Freshman will commence theater's fall schedule with tapping of legendary stage prop at University Theatre Rally Wednesdav
BY DARLA SLIPKE
Receiving the University Theatre's sacred "Kilty Kane" award is a prestigious honor that is usually reserved for an exceptional graduate of the theater program. However, each year at the University Theatre's annual rally, a lucky freshman is chosen to tap the cane on the Crafton-Preyer Theatre stage.
The "Kilty Kane" has been with University Theatre since actor Jerome Kilty first used it as a prop in Murphy Hall's inaugural production, "Richard the Third" in 1957.
This year's freshman will be chosen at the rally at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Murphy Hall and is open to anyone interested in the University Theatre. Students can meet with faculty, staff and other students, learn about opportunities in the theater, and hear about the upcoming season.
"I think this year will be an exciting year for the theater department,
and the rally is the first step," Jon Matteten, Leavenworth junior, said.
Charla Jenkins, director of public relations for the department of theatre and film said the rally gives new students a chance to learn more about the theater and gives returning students the opportunity to meet up with friends.
New students are encouraged to come meet the faculty and staff and learn more about University Theatre. They can be matched up with a returning student who serves as a "buddy."
"There's lots of laughing and joking," Jenkins said. "It's as exciting for the faculty as it is for the students."
"Theater buddies give tours, tell stories and make them feel welcome," Matteon said. "The first time I attended, I was immediately welcomed. I immediately had a family."
Students can also hear from directors of the fall productions about the shows and what they will be looked for during auditions, which start
University Theatre auditions for Fall 2006 productions will take place Aug.17 to 21 at Murphy Hall. Registration is from 12 to 4 p.m. Thursday. For more information, call 864-3381.
nursday. An audition workshop will be offered during the rally to help prepare students for the audition process so that they will not feel overwhelmed. Students do not have to be in the theater department to audition for the shows.
"That officially starts our year," Lawrence Henderson, Lansing senior said. "It's a big symbolic gesture."
To mark the commencement of the new theater season, the randomly selected freshman taps the Kilty Kane on the stage floor three times.

》DOLE INSTITUTE
Incomparable access set photographs apart
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
While in office, Senator Bob Dole never threw anything away. The items he saved, including 25,000 photographs, now fill 3,500 boxes in the stacks of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics.
The task of organizing these artifacts fell into the hands of two summer archive interns, Sarah Gilreath, Emporia senior, and Jennifer Donnally, Lawrence graduate student, searched through thousands of photographs each day.
It was political photographer PF
Bentley's candid black and white photographs of Dole that caught their attention and inspired them to create a new exhibit, "PF Bentley: Behind the Lens of the 1996 Dole Presidential Campaign." The exhibit will be on display in the institute through Sept. 30 and is free to the public.
Bentley is famous for his incomparable access to politicians such as Dole, Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich. His embedded style offers the public a behind-the-scenes look at their daily lives.
Interns create exhibit from collection of PF Bentley photos taken of Bob Dole
Gilreath said she thought it would
be hard for other photographers to reach Bentley's level of success.
"I've never come across another photographer that has the same access he did. I think it is what many would like to attain, but many haven’t," she said.
Jean Bischoff, senior archivist at the Dole Institute, said she appreciated the photos because they reveal
the character of the man, which is something that is difficult to see when a candidate is behind the podium.
"His photos tell a story, and they tell me not only what a day in the life of a candidate is like, but how the man is," she said. "Character is important."
Bentley captured Dole during
intimate moments with his wife, Elizabeth, looking emotional when he left the Senate in 1996 and laughing at Clinton talking on a television program. Bischoff said it was unusual to get a photograph of Dole smiling and relaxing. The photograph was possible, she said, because politicians allowed Bentley to see them as people.
Bentley's work was influenced by Jacques Lowe, who changed the image of politicians when he followed the John F. Kennedy campaign, Bischoff said. Before Lowe, photos of politicians were complete-
lv different, Bischoff said.
Bentley has won several awards and honors for his coverage of presidential campaigns in the United States. He compiled his photos from the Clinton campaign for the best selling book "Clinton: Portrait of Victory". He has also covered international events such as Fidel Castro's regime.

State board may reverse current science standards
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
The Kansas State Board of Education's return to moderate hands could reshape current science standards, but the state's reputation might not be fixed as quickly.
The results of the state primary elections held on Aug. 1 will give the board a 6-4 moderate majority in January. The board is predicted to reverse current science standards removing anti-evolution teachings from science classrooms.
Janet Waugh, democratic victor in District 1, which includes eastern Lawrence, said that when she resumed her position on the board state science standards would be one of the first issues addressed.
Waugh said she supported both evolution and creationism being
taught in the appropriate settings. Waugh said that the current conservative board's decision to include criticism of the theory of evolution in its science curriculum had made the state a laughing stock.
"I think it's unfair and tragic because the reality is we rank in the top 10 of the nation in every category educationally, but if we continue the path we were on with radicals and conservatives, I think the ranking would be lower," Waugh said.
Rob Weaver, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, whose discipline is molecular biology, also said the reputation of Kansas had been tarnished.
Weaver said that image had affected the University in two ways.
First, he said that professor recruitment has suffered. He said the
University needed the best possible professors, but if the best were reluctant to apply because of the social controversy, then students would suffer.
"If I was in my 30s and looking for a job, I wouldn't apply," he said. "But KU is a hotbed for evolution study."
Secondly, he said incoming college students were missing a piece of their science education if they weren't taught that evolution was a valid theory.
Liza Holeski, Rio Grande, Ohio. ecology and evolutionary biology graduate student, teaches entry-level biology classes at the University. She has found that many of her undergraduate students never discussed evolution in high school.
"You can just tell that they probably have never had evolution in science class," she said. "The word itself has a stigma because of the debate that's been going on for so long."

Case is also the chairman of the science committee who writes cur-
explain it to their students.
"Students aren't stupid" he said. "If you lie to them they will know and it will destroy your credibility."
Steve Abrams, conservative Republican and chairman of the board, said he would like to see the current standards continue.
"I think any time you put forth science standards formed in a dogmatic fashion it is a step backwards," he said. "I'm not in favor of scripture being taught in classes. I support only good peer-reviewed, empirical science standards and those things don't support evolution."

Commission searches for city manager Position opens in March after old manager forced to resign
BY MARK VIERTHALER
After announcing the opening of the city manager position July 21, the city commission has begun its search for someone with the ability to forge a relationship with the University of Kansas.
The position opened in March after the forced resignation of Mike Wildgen. Mayor Mike Amyx declined to comment.
Sue Hack, vice mayor and city commissioner, said an open communication channel with the University would be a key factor in hiring a new manager.
Dennis "Boog" Highberger, city commissioner, agreed that a city manager should make immediate contact with students and administrators.
"It's important to have a mutually beneficial relationship," she said. "The applicant needs to understand that they are the city's biggest employer. It's an extremely important relationship."
Highberger said that the commission had high hopes, but that he was confident they would be able to fill the position.
"The students make up a large part of the city's population," he said.
"The ideal manager would make contact with university officials right away"
"We need someone who can take initiative to bring forward ideas" Highberger said. "At the same time, they need to respond to direction from the committee."
The city has hired independent
executive search agency Bennett Yarger Associates to design the job advertisement, as well as filter through the first set of applicants. The job search will end Aug. 25.
Frank Reeb, Lawrence director of administrative services, said the city commission chose the agency to handle the bulk of the hiring process.
Bennett Yarger created both a job bulletin and a challenge statement, Reeb said. The purpose of the documents is to introduce the applicant to the community of Lawrence.
The profile and challenge statement also give an outline of challenges a potential applicant will encounter. Included within the challenges is the need to improve the general infrastructure of the city, the ability to maintain "community identity" and staff retention and recruitment.
The profile comes equipped with a laundry list of preferred qualities, including the ability to rebuild the city's governance, be a strategic thinker, willingness to work openly with the community and various other "ideal" qualities.
Hack said at first glance the requirements might seem a little lofty, but high standards were important if Lawrence wanted to be a successful community.
"It really does sound like we're waiting for someone in a red cap," she said. "We want a person who's more than a manager. We need someone who's a leader. We need someone who's creative."
All applicants must first go through the contracted agency before the city commission will even
consider them for the position.
Bennett Yarger, based out of Scituate, Mass., specializes in searching for executive positions from public administrators to advocacy organizations.
Dick Bennett, president and owner of Bennett Yarger, said the city of Lawrence hired his company in an effort to lighten the plates of the city commissioners.
"Recruiters are used because they know the area," Bennett said. "It saves time for the city commission. We've been around a long time, so we have a very broad network."
Bennett said his company guaranteed the city hire. The firm also guaranteed its hire would remain for at least the first year of employment.
His company is in charge of the initial hiring, designing of the job advertisement and the initial interviews. After these steps, it will become a joint venture between Bennett Yarger and the city commission.
"The city commissioners certainly have final say," Bennett said. "However, we do some interviewing ourselves."
Bennett said the entire hiring process usually took 90 days from start to finish.
City officials estimate they will have a new city manager by mid- September.

competing in the booming business of high-stakes college football. In the fierce battle for victories in college football, coaching is key, making good coaching even more valuable.
While the conference's coaches are all highly compensated, Kansas coach Mark Mangino's annual guaranteed salary ranks dead last in the league.
And while Mangino is in no danger of living on the street, his salary of more than $600,000 a year is more than seven times that of the average University of Kansas faculty member, he still makes less than half of the average Big 12 football coach.
Cost of doing business
Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins said he was well aware of
Mangino's low ranking in relation to his fellow Big 12 coaches.
"Does it concern me? Absolutely"
Perkins said.
In a conference where the average football coach's guaranteed salary is approaching $1.5 million a season, Mangino appears to be getting left behind.
Maybe not for long.
Perkins said he and Mangino were currently discussing a raise and extension on the coach's contract. He said the negotiations had been ongoing for some time, but that nothing had yet been finalized.
"These things take time." Perkins said.

>> KANSAS RELAYS
Gatlin faces lifetime ban after drug test at Relays
BY C.J.MOORE
One of the fastest men in the world could be facing a lifetime ban in track and field because of a positive drug test at the Kansas Relays in April.
Justin Gatlin, the 24-year-old American sprinter and co-world record holder in the 100 meter, tested positive for testosterone or other steroids after his team won the 4 x 100 relay at the Kansas Relays on April 22. Because it is Gatlin's second offense — his first offense was using the ADD medication Adderaller his freshman year at the University of Tennessee
he could face a lifetime ban.
Gatlin has denied knowingly using any banned substances at the Kansas Relays.
"Justin has maintained that he has done nothing wrong and was not involved with using or applying any prohibited substance to himself," Gattlin's attorney Cameron Myler said in an interview with the The University Daily Kansan.
Myler said she would argue "exceptional circumstances" in defense of Gatlin during his arbitration, which should begin sometime in the next few weeks. By pleading exceptional circumstances, Myler must prove Gatlin was not at fault or had no significant fault.
Gatlin and other Olympians were invited to compete in a three-hour "Gold Zone" event at the relays, which drew the second-largest crowd in the event's history last year. When contacted, meet director Tim Weaver declined to comment.
Under the world anti-doping agency code, Galati's sanction (a lifetime ban) would be eliminated entirely if it is found that he was not at fault or the sanction could be reduced if it is found that he had no significant fault.
"No significant fault is when the arbitration panel determines the athlete was fairly vigilant in trying not to come in contact with any prohibited substance but they made some mistake so they weren't entirely at fault, but a little bit." Myler said.

Defense could be just as good
Only three defensive starters will return yet Mangino likes what he sees
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Despite losing all but three starters from last season's dominating defense, Mark Mangino has a gut feeling about this year's squad after only two days of practice.
They could be jungle warriors. "I like what our defense is doing, that defense is quick," the Kansas coach said following the Aug. 5 practice, which was open to fans and media. "It's a quick outfit, physical up front. We've got a scrappy bunch of guys, they're going to be okay."
They could be just as good.
The defense held its own in a scrimmage against the first-team offense, led by redshirt, freshman quarterback; Kerry Meter, Talib intercepted one of Meter's passes
The jayhaws return defensive tackle James McClinton, safety Jerome Kemp and cornerback Aqib Talib from last year's unit that gave up just 22 points per game.
Talib, a first team All-Big 12 selection in the preseason media poll, looked best among Kansas' cornerbacks. In drills against wide receivers, Talib nearly picked off several passes and batted down a few others.
and nearly picked off another. The defense also collected two other turnovers by the offense.
While Mangino was encouraged by the defense's performance, he realizes the group still has a long way to go before being ready for the season opener at 6 p.m. Sept. 2 against Northwestern State.
"The challenge is they've got to learn very quickly," Mangino said. "We've got to get that chemistry we had last year and I think it's well on its way."
Chemistry on offense appears to be strong, with Meier hitting several receivers in stride for long passes during the scrimmage. Senior Jon
"You've got to go in there with the attitude that there's guys behind you." Meier said. "It's never a secure lock that you're going to play, you have to come out and prove yourself everyday."

Cornish took most of the first team snaps at running back, with redshirt freshman Angus Quigley and freshman D'Marcus Lang battling for the back-up spot.
Kansas' practice on Friday is open to fans, beginning at 3:40 p.m. at the practice fields near Hoglund Ballpark.
Despite taking all the snaps with the first team offense, Meier knows he could easily lose the starting job.

Collison, Hinrich to reunite for NBA matchup in the Phog
BY DANIEL MOLINA
Fans of Kansas men's basketball and the NBA will get a chance to see a pair of former KU greats and their teams play in Allen Fieldhouse.
An Oct. 15 exhibition game will feature Nick Collison's Seattle Supersonics against Kirk Hinrich's Chicago Bulls. Tickets go on sale this morning through the Kansas Athletics Ticket Office, located in the fieldhouse. Student tickets are available for $10 and regular tickets for $25 to $60. They may also be purchased at www.kuathletics.com or by calling 785-864-3141.
Since graduating in 2003 as two of the most decorated KU basketball players, Collison and Hinrich have experienced different results in their professional careers.
Hinrich joined the Bulla as the seventh overall draft pick in 2003.
and found success, averaging 12 points and 6.8 assists a game. He was named the Bulls player of the year, was selected to the all-rookie first team and was invited to tryout for the United States Olympic team.
Collison's fortunes entering the league weren't as bright. Drafted 12th overall by the Sonics, the forward saw his rookie season wiped out by injuries to both shoulders.
He played limited minutes in a backup role during his sophomore campaign. Last season transformed Collision from a bench player to a backup and occasional starter.
The game will be the fourth NBA game played in the fieldhouse. The storyed gym has seen such NBA greats as Michael Jordan and John Stockton grace Naismith court in past exhibition games. Bringing former Kansas players and their teams back to Lawrence was first tried after Kansas won the national championship in 1988. Feature attraction Danny Manning was unable to play in that game because of an injury.
VF
In 1997, Jordan's Bulls topped the Sonics in front of a sold-out crowd. Jordan would go on to win the last of his six NBA titles that season.
In 2001, the Philadelphia 76ers and Utah Jazz played, with Larry Brown coaching the 76ers and Greg Ostertag playing for the Jazz. Because of the absence of 76ers' star Allen Iverson and Jazz great Karl Malone, the game had about 10,000 fans. Organizers hope the presence of two Kansas standouts will boost attendance for this year's event.

Ex-quarterback returns to Kansas
BY BRYAN CISLER
As the 2006 Kansas Media Day unfolded, Kerry Meter, Jon Cornish and Aqib Talib were hounded by the lights, cameras and microphones, having already cemented themselves as the new faces of
Kansas football
Away from the spotlight, standing under the scoreboard with the assistant coaches, was the man Mark Mangino said got the ball rolling for KU football, former standout quarterback Bill Whittmore.
"I'm just excited to learn and sit back and watch so I can gather all that I can."
This time, Whittemore wasn't wearing a helmet and pads, but rather holding a clipboard and a whistle as the new offensive graduate assistant.
"I'm just excited to learn and sit back and watch so I can gather all that I can." Whitemore said.
BILL WHITTEMORE Offensive graduate assistant
In a typical day, he plans out the schedules for all the coaches, and at practice he works primarily with offensive coordinator Nick Quartaro and wide receivers coach Tim Beck.
"Off the field and in the office, he has been aggressive in taking his assignments seriously and really being on top of things in terms of organization." Quartaro said.
Beck uses Whittemore as another set of eyes, because when the offense runs a three or four wide receiver set, Beck won't always catch everything. Whittemore also works with wide receivers on route running, teaching the general nuances of the offense.
Whittemore still has a presence about him when he steps on the field because of what he accomplished in his years at Kansas.
"On the field the kids know he has credibility, and when he says something on a coaching point, they will take it to heart." Quartaro said.
It has also helped that just three years ago seniors Adam Barmann, Bob Whitaker and Cornish called Whittemore a teammate. Now they call him coach.
"When I was younger, he was my mentor. I learned a lot of things from him, I am glad we got him back," quarterback Adam Barmann said.
son, he passed for 2,385 yards third best in KU history. He also led Kansas to the Tangerine bowl, its first bowl game in eight years. This was especially amazing considering Kansas was 2-10 the year before.
In 2003, Whittemore's final sea
When Whittemore left Kansas that next spring, things got a little
rocky. He tried his hand at the NFL, but after tryouts with the New York Jets and the Atlanta Falcons, he decided to take his game to Nashville for the Arena Football League.
"It was enjoyable, short and sweet, but I never
got on the field. To be honest, I don't how good I would have been out there." Whittmore said.
Whitmore, always more of a dual-threat style quarterback, never fully adapted to Arena Football's fast paced game, and spent his year there as a backup.
After that, things started to look up as he chose to go back home to Brentwood, Tenn., and became a football coach at his former high school.
The team went 11-2, with Whittemore gaining valuable coaching experience while working with the wide receivers, his focus at Kansas this year.
"Working with the receivers this year, a lot of them are young guys, so it was kind of the same situation as it was for me last year in the sense of their knowledge of the game, and to understand what they are thinking and what they need to know" he said.
Now that Whittemore is back at Kansas, he has to juggle coaching football and getting his master's degree in sports management, although he doesn't foresee any problems.
"The young players these days are so talented and really care, and all of them are willing to do what is expected of them," he said.
As KU Football takes the field this fall, it will hope to carry on the winning tradition that Bill Whitemore started.

Former Jayhawk becomes Rooster
Hawkins picks basketball rather than a business job, leaves for Germany; vows to keep in touch with former teammates through Internet
BY JEFF DETERS
Unsure if his dream of playing in the NBA would happen, Jeff Hawkins was preparing for a life and career that did not include basketball.
Hawkins was not selected during the 2006 NBA Draft, and following KU's first-round loss to Bradley in the NCAA tournament, many believed Hawkins' playing days were finished.
Hawkins, however, held onto his dream to continue playing basketball, even while he was looking for work in the business world. Hawkins said he had just completed an interview with an insurance company when he got a call from the Bremen Roosters of the international league, which is based in Germany.
He said it was a "tough situation" because he was concentrating his efforts 50 percent on business and 50 percent on basketball.
"It was the only opportunity I had to keep playing basketball," Hawkins said.
"I'm the type of person who when I go into something, I go 100 percent." he said. And now that he can concentrate fully on basketball, Hawkins was thankful for the opportunity to continue playing.
Hawkins left for Germany

"From playing with them two weeks ago, this year could be a really special year. There's a lot of talent on that team."

INTRAMURALS
Good sportsmanship to be rewarded
BY STEPHEN BERGMAN
Whether it was Mike Tyson biting off Evander Holyfield's ear, Ron Artest serving up innocent fans, or watching Terrell Owens doing — well, everything Terrell Owens does — fans witness bad sportsmanship wherever competition is found.
This year however, KU Recreation Services plans to put a halt on the bad in intramural sports by rewarding the good.
"We are implementing a sportsmanship rating system this year," league coordinator Kurt Schooley said. "Teams will be graded each game. Points will go towards their eligibility of making the tournament."
This policy, much like any change to the norm, will undoubtedly have its critics, but most should see the good it will do the game.
"I like the idea," Matt Lindberg, Plano, Texas, junior said. "I think it will make the game more fun for the teams."
Along with the new rating system, KU Recreation Services also implemented a few other changes.
Dodgeball enthusiasts can rejoice. Instead of a single tournament, the sport is getting its own league. Sign-up for the dodgeball league will begin on Sept. 29.
The three-on-three soccer league will be held in the fall, while the eight-on-eight league has been moved to the spring.
"We flip-flopped them, which hopefully will allow us to get more fields open for spring soccer," Schooley said.
As for the fall line-up of activities, flag football sign-up will begin on Friday, Aug. 18 and close Monday, Aug. 21. Sand volleyball
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
and three-on-three soccer entries will be taken from Friday, Aug. 25 to Monday, Aug. 28.
KU Recreation Services also offers events such as floor hockey, volleyball, tennis, raquetball, table tennis, golf, bowling and eight-ball pool. There will also be a homecoming three-on-three basketball tournament, and a pre-holiday basketball tournament. Most leagues require a fee, however, there are a few that are free of charge. Check out the Web site www.recreation.ku.edu for a list of all the leagues, entry information and cost. All intramural league sign-ups are on a first come, first serve basis.

Texas remains favorite despite lack of quarterback depth
BY JAIME ARON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The outlook for the Big 12 this season has zigged and zagged like a Vince Young broken-field run ever since the Texas quarterback sprinted into the end zone to win the national championship.
Winners of 20 straight games, the Longhorns, would've been a certain preseason No. 1 — in the country, not just the conference — had Young stuck around Austin for his senior
season. After months of saying he would, Young turned pro, leaving Texas without an experienced quarterback and lowering expectations for 2006.
They weren't even picked to win their own division, the Big 12 South. Oklahoma got the nod, in part because the Sooners went through the growing pains of breaking in a young quarterback last season.
Sophomore Rhett Bomar won six of his last seven games and was only expected to get better, especially with running back Adrian Peterson
returning to full strength.
Then, last week, Bomar was kicked off the team for violating NCAA rules. So, ready or not, the Longhorns became the Big 12 favorites again.
Years of highly ranked recruiting classes have left Texas loaded with talent.
Coach Mack Brown has 16 returning starters, including sophomore running back Jamaal Charles, and depth at nearly every position — except the most important one.
It was tough recruiting anyone to back up Young. Brown didn’t fret
over it because he wasn't expecting to need a replacement until 2007.
"I thought Vince would come back, very honestly; I might have been the only one in America that did," said Brown, quickly adding that he believes Young made the right decision.
The next decision is Brown. Does he go with redshirt freshman Colt McCoy or Jeyan Snead, who finished high school a semester early and began college in January?
"Both of those young guys exceeded our expectations in the spring"
Brown said. "They've shown great leadership. ... But we also will not know who they are in practice. We'll have to wait until we put them in a pressure situation, in a ballgame, to learn more about them."
If he hadn't just won a national championship, detractors would be accusing Brown of making excuses. Not anymore.
He ripped off his "can't win the big one" label by leading Texas on a run that's featured the school's first national title since 1969.

MEN'S BASKETBALL Chris Piper selected to succeed Falkenstien
Kansas basketball and football play-by-play radio commentator Bob Davis has two new broadcasting partners after 22 years with the legendary Max Falkanstien.
It was announced earlier this year that former University of Kansas football lineman David Lawrence would partner with Davis for football broadcasts. He will also host the pregame "Crimson and Blue Line" and the post-game "Jayhawk Locker Room" for the men's basketball radio broadcasts.
More recently, KU Athletics Department officials and ESPN-Plus officials announced that Chris Piper will be teaming with Bob Davis in broadcasting basketball games for the Javahawk Radio Network.
Piper, 41, is familiar with the University. He was a member of the 1988 National Championship basketball team, the 1986 Final Four team and he was also a four-year letter winner. Piper has broadcast men's basketball games for the Jayhawk Television Network for the past 14 years. Piper also worked as an analyst for Big 12 telecasts with ESPN-Plus for the last six years. He is also the owner of a company that produces licensed collegiate merchandise, Grandstand Sportswear and Glassware, 2920 Haskell Avenue, Suite 200.

Old, new talent works to surpass NCAA performance
Emily Brown was sitting in the office of her academic adviser, Scott "Scooter" Ward, when she discovered she was picked as a preseason All-Big 12 player.
"I was in Scooter's office, and he happened to pull up the Web site, and we were like, what?" said Brown, junior opposite side hitter/setter. "But none of that matters. The team was preseason No. 7, so we're kind of excited to turn that around and prove some people wrong."
The Jayhawk volleyball team made its third consecutive NCAA appearance last year and is excited to get the season under way.
"We have a chance to do some big things this year," Brown said. "We have a lot of potential. We were preseason No. 7, but we're hoping to get to No. 3."
While four starters return to the Jayhawks, the biggest hurdle for coach Ray Bechard will be replacing Josi Lima, an All-Big 12 player for four consecutive years, Paula Caten and Andi Rozum, who all graduated last spring.
"We lost two four-year starters, but I think our seniors are ready," Bechard said. "This is the only class that has been to three NCAA tournaments. I'm sure they'd like to go out being the only class who went to the NCAA tournament all four years."
Bechard said because the team had been to the NCAA tournament
"We're thrilled to have her back," he said. "She's a dynamic, athletic middle who will obviously get in the mix right away for us."
The other returning starters, including Brown, are Jamie Mathewson, Jana Correa and Savannah Noyes.

second round twice and first round once, the goal this season would be to advance beyond the first two rounds of the tournament.
The season gets under way Aug. 25 in Tuscaloosa, Ala., with the Crimson Tide Invitational.
Bechard said he recruited Uhart, a 6-foot-2 middle blocker, out of high school and expected her to contribute immediately.
"We've got Alabama and Miami right off," Bechard said of the nonconference schedule. "Bama was a tournament team last year and Miami has been two of the last three
"if you're one of the top five teams in the Big 12 conference, you probably have that opportunity," he said.
The team received some help for this upcoming season when Natalie Uhart transferred to Kansas from Long Beach State. Uhart has been tabbed Big 12 Conference Preseason Newcomer of the Year. The Jayhawks have a total of eight newcomers on the team.
Kansas also plays Brigham Young, who was ranked in the top 10 at one point last season, and Temple, a perennial threat to win the Atlantic 10, during the non-conference games.
years."
The team's schedule will help its case when tournament selections are made. The Big 12 routinely sends several teams to the NCAA tournament.
Playing high-caliber teams will also help the Jayhawks prepare for what awaits them in conference play.
"That'll do more than get us ready for our first week of Big 12 play," Bechard said.
The Big 12 conference season starts on Sept. 13 at Nebraska.
The Cornhuskers are the preseason favorite to win the Big 12. The Jayhawks then face Texas in Lawrence. Bechard said he thought Nebraska and Texas would both be top 10 teams.
Kansas' home opener at Horejsi Family Athletics Center will be Aug. 29 against the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Summer camps attempt to increase interest in sport, create brighter future

Camaraderie impresses coach
Bonnie Henrickson impressed with chemistry, camaraderie; players bring their own experience, accomplishments to basketball team
BY CASE KEEFER
More than half of the roster for the Kansas women's basketball team will be new faces this season.
Kelly Kohn, LaChelda Jacobs,
Danielle McCay,Sade Morris,Lindsay
Ballweg,Porscha Weddington and
Rebecca Feickert all completed high
school last May and will be on the
2006-2007 roster.
For the group of seven, the summer was spent getting familiar with the University, going to class and following a vigorous workout regimen every day.
"They made sure that we didn't leave each day until they got everything they could get out of us," Kohn said.
Kohn thrived at the guard position at her high school in Adrian, Mich., she was named a McDonald's All-American honorable mention and a first team all-state player by the Detroit Free Press.
Because of NCAA rules, coach Bonnie Henrickson has had very limited access to the team's summer workouts, but has liked the reports she has received thus far.
"Our strength and conditioning coach has been excited about their progress, she liked their intensity,
liked their competitiveness, athleticism and agility." Hendrickson said.
However, that is not what the coach is most impressed by so far. The seven's chemistry and camaraderie seem to be working out rather nicely as well.
"When you see one, you are going to see a pack. They run together, they are together," Henrickson said. "They will talk to you about how close they've become and how well they get along and they understand why that's important."
Kohn is not the only standout guard of the group. McCray excelled at Olathe East High School en route to being named The Kansas City Star's Girls Basketball Player of the Year.
Ballweg is another guard from near by, hailing from Overland Park. Jacobs, from Mansfield, Texas, rounds out the list of new guards.
At 6-foot-2 Peickert has the most size of the septet. She was named North Dakota Miss Basketball last winter and should be invaluable as far as accounting for size disadvantages. Morris, Gatorade Player of the Year, and Weddington, from Temple, Texas, play a physical style at the forward position.
After last season, when the
Jayhawks won their first post-season game in more than five years, expectations seem especially high for this group over the next four years. The attention doesn't seem to intimidate or bother Kohn.
"I can only see things getting better with having so many freshmen coming in and realizing that all of us have the same goal: to take the woman's program to its highest potential," Kohn said.
One area where the team would like to see more help is fan support. Last season marked an all-time high in student attendance during women's basketball games. Those numbers should keep rising this year. Not only are the games free to students, but Kohn is guaranteeing excitement.
"I love watching my other teammates when I'm not in the game, and I know if I was a fan I would feed off of their intensity and that love of the game. It's just something to watch," she said.

Mistaken identity plagues NBA player
BY EDDIE PELLS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Eddie Johnson scratched his way out of the Cabrini-Green housing project in Chicago, fashioned a long and successful NBA career, turned that into an opportunity on TV and built a reputation as an all-around good guy who loves to work with kids.
Eddie Johnson was mistaken in some media reports for another Eddie Johnson -- a retired 10-year NBA player from Florida who was arrested Tuesday night and charged with sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl.
The Eddie Johnson who had nothing to do with that accusation is a former Illinois star who went on to a 17-year career with the Kings,
Suns, Rockets and other teams.
But when some media reports about the alleged crime included his bio information and file photo linked on the Internet, his phone started ringing.
"The thing that disappointed me the most is some people were overzealous enough to think it was me and attack me with a ferocity I can't comprehend," Johnson said.

Change is in the air as season nears
BY RALPH D. RUSSO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Southern Cal quarterback John David Booty looks for a receiver during practice last week. Booty will be one of several new faces in the hunt for this season's national championship.
The Southern California dynasty has been derved, and the player most responsible won't be around to help Texas defend its crown.
For the first time in a few years, there will be a race instead of a chase for the college football national championship.

There's legitimate title talk at Ohio State, Notre Dame, LSU, Auburn and West Virginia. Hopes are high for Florida and California. And let's not forget USC and Texas.
Is there even a favorite this season?

by Vince Young and Texas. "We just got to start playing and see what happens."
What college football fans will see this season is bigger — though not necessarily better: an expanded Bowl Championship Series; 12-game regular-season schedules for all major college teams and new replay rules.
"It better than it used be, which is good," said Southern Mississippi coach Jeff Bower, whose team is a perennial C-USA contender. "At least you have a legitimate chance now."
Since the BCS' 1998 debut, Utah of the Mountain West is the only team from outside the high-revenue leagues to play in a BCS game. The Utes needed to finish in the top six in the final BCS standings to earn a Fiesta Bowl bid.
Now, coaches can challenge a call but will lose a timeout if it's not overturned.
Now teams from the WMC, WAC, MAC, Conference USA and Sun Belt need only finish in the top 12 to get a BCS invite.
The idea behind the expansion is to give better access to teams outside the six conferences with automatic qualification — ACC, Big East, Big

Mangino signed a five-year contract when former Athletics Director Al Bohl brought him to Lawrence in 2001. He has been given two one-year extensions, keeping him under contract through the 2008 season.
Mangino, through a spokesman,
declined to comment for this article.
Thought not particularly successful, Baylor coach Guy Morriss receives total compensation in excess of $1 million dollars. as reported on Baylor University's 2005 tax forms.
Dan Hawkins' contract with Colorado remains unsigned and therefore not subject to records requests, while Baylor is not legally required to provide Guy Morriss' contract, because it is a private university. His salary was obtained from filings with the Internal Revenue Service.
Joshua Bickel/KANSAN
Mangino is one of five Big 12 coaches whose annual guaranteed salary is less than $1 million. The other four are Hawkins, Missouri's Gary Pinkel, Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy and Kansas State's Ron Prince.
The Colorado athletics department described the contract and its value for The Kansan, indicating that the salary would be greater than Mangino's.
The conference's average, however, is slightly skewed because of the annually increasing guaranteed salaries of its two highest-paid coaches, Oklahoma's Bob Stoops and Texas' Mack Brown. Both Brown and stoops are scheduled to make at least $2.5
details
Beyond their base salary and radio and television show payments, Big 12 football coaches are paid various bonuses for victories and attendance. Here's a look at some of the conference's most unusual incentive bonuses:
> Bob Stoops, Oklahoma $3 million one-time bonus if he's still coaching at OU after the 2008 season
> Mark Mangino, Kansas
$5,000 bonus for defeating

million in 2006 and their contracts require that their salaries increase by at least $100,000 per year.
Perkins said he couldn't deny that football coaches made a lot of money, but he said it was part of being a member of a large, competitive conference.
"If you're going to play in that league, you're going to pay what the fair market value is," Perkins said. "It's just the cost of doing business."
Coachina Perks
According to his contract, Mangino is paid a base salary of $128,438, similar to the Kansas men's and women's basketball coaches. He is also guaranteed $475,000 from "radio shows and Internet features pursuant to KUAC arrangements, affiliations and/or contracts featuring Mangino". In total, his annual yearly guaranteed salary adds up to $603,438, plus other forms of guaranteed compensation.
Mangino is guaranteed the use of two cars classified as "the highest line of the manufacturer" — recently, at least one was a Lincoln Navigator — and memberships to Alvamar and Lawrence country clubs. He is also guaranteed the use of a suite at Memorial Stadium, travel for his wife, Mary Jane, and up to four guests to away games as well as four tickets to men's basketball games at Allen Fieldhouse.
Including the guaranteed salary and additional perks, Mangino's compensation in 2005 totaled $769,256, according to Athletics Department filings with the IRS.
Despite missing out on money guaranteed to other coaches, Mangino can make a significant amount in incentives. For example, beating Nebraska and Kansas State in the past two seasons, earned Mangino $5,000 per victory. He also receives a $5,000 to $10,000 bonus for each televised victory and a $1,000 bonus for each player who graduates.
Unlike other conference coaches, Mangino's contract does not include a buy-out clause. Perkins said Mangino should be allowed to leave Kansas without penalty if he chooses.
"We don't want to keep anyone here that doesn't want to be here," Perkins said.
Mangino's salary is relatively low when compared to his fellow coaches, in large part because his contract lacks many of the other guaranteed forms of compensation.
Bohl, the former athletics director who negotiated the terms of Mangino's current contract, declined to comment on how Mangino's salary was set.
Other Big 12 coaches' contracts, like Mangino's, guarantee certain perks, including the use of courtesy cars, tickets to football games and travel to away games for guests. A few coaches receive more lavish perks. Brown is allowed the use of a $60,000 personal expense account, while Stoops receives up to 35 hours of private airplane use.
Commercialization
These high salaries and lavish perks open the coaches and programs to criticism. It's not the salaries themselves that are questioned, but rather the sources of the money.
William Friday, co-founder of the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics and president emeritus of the University of North Carolina, says television networks and apparel companies run collegiate athletics. With the infux of money from these companies, athletics programs are able to fund multimillion dollar salaries.
"I believe that college sports are over commercialized," Friday said. "This has caused the inflation of coaches' salaries."
The Knight Commission was formed in 1989 to combat what it calls the commercialization of college athletics.
Under Perkins' leadership, Kansas Athletics Inc. has secured highly lucrative contracts with Adidas and ESPN to help supplement the department budget and, in turn, coaches' salaries. In 2005, Kansas signed an exclusive apparel contract with Adidas that paid $26.67 million through eight years. Also in 2005, the department signed a seven-year, $40.2 million contract extension with ESPN Regional Television.
that football program.
More than half of the conference's coaches make at least $100,000 for wearing apparel provided by sports apparel companies. Brown at Texas makes $580,000 a year for wearing Nike clothing whenever representing
Mangino's contract requires him to wear the official apparel of the Athletics Department, which was Nike when the contract was authored but has since changed to Adidas.
Three coaches, Brown, Stoops and Iowa State's Dan McCarney are compensated as much as $600,000 for making speeches and appearances for boosters, alumni and community groups.
Friday asserts that large contracts signed with TV stations and apparel companies have helped turn college athletics into a commercial industry.
Victories are Key
The common thread uniting college football coaches and programs and high-paying contracts is onfield results. Simply put, victories and bowl appearances go a long way toward landing a mega contract.
Mangino's record in five seasons at Kansas is well below 50,1929, but victories that snapped long losing streaks to Kansas State and Nebraska and a victory at the Fort Worth Bowl last season have given Jayhawk faithful a reason to be hopeful for the future.
At Kansas football media day last week, Mangino said he felt the program had laid a strong foundation.
"I'll be very honest with you, we're no longer sponsoring a football team here at KU, we have a football program," Mangino said. "We have all the elements in place to be successful!"
In February, Perkins and Mangino
announced that funding had been secured to build a football office complex and practice fields at Memorial Stadium. Included in the project are coaches' offices, weight room, academic support offices and a team locker room.
The project is considered to be a significant step in
Perkins said the addition of the $31 million dollar Anderson Family Football Complex was an important step for the football program.
the growth of 'a program', because Kansas has been one of the few Big 12 schools with football operations not run at the football stadium. Currently, football operations are run out of offices near Allen Fieldhouse. Completion of the new facility is expected for the 2008 season.
"It was huge," Perkins said.
everybody said it couldn't be done and we went out and did that, which showed me that there were people out there who really care about football and want it to be very important here."
Also under Mangino's leadership, season ticket sales have soared to the highest levels in recent memory. In the past four seasons, sales have increased 20 percent, by 4,000 tickets. Season ticket sales in 2005 topped 26,000, meaning nearly half of Memorial Stadium's 50,000 seats were already sold.
In three of Mangino's first four seasons, the football program made at least $1.9 million. While it's not a substantial profit compared to other conference schools, the numbers have grown dramatically since the 2003 season. Football profits jumped nearly $800,000 following the team's trip to the 2003 Tangerine Bowl. In the 2004 season, the program recorded the highest profit of the Mangino era, recording nearly $2.8 million.
In a conference where some coaches' salaries rival those of CEOs of major corporations, college football is a thriving industry. From the millions of dollars universities pay their highly compensated coaches, it's clear the demand for good coaching is steady.
The Kansas program's profit pales in comparison to the football program at Texas. Brown has led his team to five years of success that has helped drive the program to a profit of nearly $39 million in 2004, according to the budgets the Athletics Department provided to The Kansas. That total is a $21.8 million jump from the $16.2 million the program made in 2001.
In his fifth season, Mangino leads a program trying to qualify for back-to-back bowl games for the first time in its history.
With expectations and pressure at a fever pitch, Mangino claims he has Kansas on track to be more than just a basketball school. Competing for football championships in one of the nation's toughest conferences isn't cheap, though.
"I'll be very honest with you, we're no longer sponsoring a football team here at KU, we have a football program."
As Perkins and Mangino work on a deal to keep the coach in Lawrence past the 2008 season, Perkins says he knows the cost of competing in

"It's a lot of money," Perkins said. "I'm not going to sit here and deny it, but that's what the fair market
Mangino has staked out a list of goals that could provide him with the leverage he needs to get a contract that boosts his salary higher and more in line with what that fair market value seems to be.

Graham has said that a massage therapist applied a cream containing testosterone to Gatlin's body before the April race without Gatlin knowing.
"We have said that Trevyn's comments are his own and not coming from us," Myler said.
The U.S. Olympic committee has banned Graham from using its facilities because of his links with steroids and other banned substances. Graham has always denied any involvement with his athletes' drug use. Graham helped set off the BALCO investigation three years ago when he anonymously mailed a syringe containing an undetectable steroid to the USADA.
The USADA has a provision in its protocol that allows for an athlete's lifetime ban to be reduced to no less than eight years if the athlete provides "substantial assistance" to the USADA in "discovering or establishing an anti-doping rule violation by another person."
Gatlin was notified of the results of his drug test in mid-June when

Competition continues after end of season Six members experience defeat,success in summertime singles, doubles play
BY ANTONIO MENDOZA
Although the tennis season has ended, team players have played competitively throughout the summer.
Six team members from the University of Kansas tennis team competed in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Summer Circuit Central Region, which was played at the Robinson tennis courts on campus. Team members occupied two of the top four seeds: junior Liza Avdeeva, first overall seed, and junior Lauren Hommell, third overall seed.
Both the singles and the doubles championship matches had at least one player from the Kansas tennis team.
Hommell made it to the championship game in singles play. For her to get there, she had to defeat her doubles partner, sophomore Edina Horvath, and another teammate, junior Stephanie Smith.
"I got to the finals. I had to play two of my teammates, but that's how it goes in the summer tournaments." Hommell said.
Hommell ended up losing the
final match to No. 4 Colleen Riley of Notre Dame, 6-2, 6-1.
"I could have done better in the finals. I really was disappointed in myself. I didn't play very well and was sore from being out there all day the day before," Hommell said.
Even though she did defeat Horvath in singles play, they played as doubles partners and won the championship 9-7.
Junior Liza Avdeeva made it to the semifinals of the tournament but ended up losing to the same person who beat Hormell in the championship, Riley, 6-4, 5-7, 1-0.
"Having them, especially Lauren, making it to the finals, and Lauren and Edina winning the doubles — it looks good for us starting out in the fall," coach Amy Hall-Holt said.
Other team members in the tournament were sophomore Yuliana Svistun and senior Ashley Filberth.

New quarterback brings high hopes
Redshirt freshman could lead Jayhawks to a winning season, Big 12 North Championship
I left KU Football Media Day last Thursday sweaty, confident and impressed.
Sweaty because the Memorial Stadium press conference room felt more like a sauna in light of the air conditioning apparently not working.
And I was impressed with what I heard from the person who's going to help make that Big 12 Championship date in Kansas City on Dec. 2 possible — Kerry Meier.
Confident about my prediction that KU will win the Big 12 North division for the first time in school history.
"If Kansas is going to win ball games, then I'm going to have to make some plays," the blonde-locked Meier said last Tuesday.
Trust me folks - Kerry Meier is that guy.
The 6'3", 210 lb. redshirt freshman has considerable pressure on him, as he is easily the most physically gifted quarterback coach Mark Mangino has had during his five-year tenure here at Kansas.
And given the hodgepodge that has plagued the quarterback position at KU since Bill Whitemore left, Meier has Jayhawk fans salivating for a capable, dynamic signal caller.

"I just go out and play." he said.
I just go out and play. He said.
When asked if he was concerned about making mistakes, Meier, wearing his number 10 blue jersey, sighed briefly and said, "We go by a motto here, 'the next play is the most important,' and I really stick to it. I just take it all in, learn from it, and with it."

Mark Jones, a junior-transfer tight end who chose KU instead of Michigan State and other major-conference schools and figures to get plenty of action opposite Derek Fine this season, said Meier was one of the best quarterbacks he's ever played with.
"He's a heck of a quarterback," jones said. "I've been very impressed with such a young guy and how he's able to settle down the offense. He's excellent."
After receiving confirmation from Jones, Aqib Talib and Angus Quigley said that KU had as good a chance as anybody to win the Big 12 North, I asked Meier if capturing the Big 12 North was a reality.
"it's gotta be a reality," Meier said purposefully as he sat up in his chair. "If you're gonna come out and play the game, you have to have that mindset and set your goals high, and that's a big time goal for us, and we're gonna be willing to work for it."
So KU fans, get ready. You've
got a quarterback who favors reading than playing video games. He prepares for games listening to the likes of Widespread Panic, a jam-rock band, and The Grateful Dead because he said they help him relax.
"The thing about quarterback, you can't be all hyped up, you have to be relaxed and confident," Meier said.
His favorite quarterback growing up was one of the fiercest competitors in NFL history, Brett Favre;
He's got the physical tools, the mental ability and an entire Jayhawk nation behind him ready to anoint him the Next Great Kansas Quarterback. Does the legend begin this season?

Cycling club aims to attract recreational ridership
BY KAYVON SARRAF
"Not all members race competitively. We are also a club for people who enjoy riding bicycles and are just looking to get into the sport," assistant coach David McLeod said.
Whether cyclists wish to compete for trophies or simply find another recreational activity, the KU Cycling Club hopes to give both groups the opportunity to do so this season. In addition to defending its North Central title, the club also wants to increase the number of recreational riders.
The club also offers an opportunity for racers seeking competition.
The team includes women's conference champion Kim Kissing and men's B-conference champion Jeff Schroeder, McLean, Va., graduate student. The conference also includes an A-level conference with more advanced riders.
Competitive racing can serve as a stepping stone to higher levels of cycling. Former club member Brian Jensen now races professionally with team Jelly Belly.
The Collegiate National Championships will be held in Lawrence for
the third consecutive season. The event draws more than 500 athletes and 1,500 visitors to town.

Players look to improve after last season
BY ANTONIO MENDOZA
Coming off of their best season since 2001-2002, the Kansas tennis team returns five of its six starters from last year's squad.
Last year's team had a 14-11 record, more than twice the number of victories from the previous two seasons combined. It finished ranked No.64 in the nation, according to the International
Tennis Association's rankings. But not everyone was completely satisfied with the team's improvement.
"I thought we could have done better," junior Lauren Hommell said. "There were some rough spots with the team."
Hommell said the team needed to pull out more of the matches it lost by a score of 4-3. She said if Kansas won more matches against higher ranked schools it would have had a better chance of get-

"We are going to continue on building from what we did last year into this year," she said.
The team also had a Big 12 Conference record of 5-8, finishing eighth in the conference.
Two Jajhawks even made the All-Big 12 team. Sophomore Ksenia Bukina and junior Liza Avdeeva made the singles team, in addition to making the doubles team as partners. During the regular season they held the team's No. 1 doubles spot.

Last year's success instills confidence
As the school year kicks off, and teams prepare for their upcoming seasons, the Kansas swimming and diving teams are doing all they can to duplicate what they achieved as a team last season.
"We want to come together as a team, and last season did that for us. It really built up our confidence and momentum heading into this season," assistant coach Jen Fox said. "We are excited for the competition we will face this season. It is hard to expect to accomplish more than we did last season but we are doing just that and it has given us motivation."
After losing to Minnesota to open the 2005-06 season, the girls regrouped and went on to go 5-1 against the next six meets before winter break. The success was carried on past the holidays as the team defeated Nebraska, Drury and Iowa State to go undefeated after the break.
The Jayhawks' season ended in impressive fashion after they finished fourth. The team will look to continue that momentum during the 2006-07 season.
"Practice starts the 21st, so we have been working hard all summer to train for this upcoming season," said sophomore Ashley Leidigh, who received team rookie of the year honors in 2005-06. "We are required to train in Lawrence or back at home. Individually, I swam often this summer and reevaluated myself to prepare for this season."
Producing the success that was seen last season will prove difficult for the team, as it will have one of its largest class of newcomers. These new members will be expected to step in and fill roles immediately, which could cause some problems while competing against other Big 12 programs.
"We are excited for the new members of our team. It is the largest class we have had in a long time, but we are looking for them to step up right away. Some will be asked to contribute right away, and others might take awhile, but they will all be expected to step up as teammates." Fox said.
The season will begin on Oct. 6 as the Jayhawks compete in their annual intrasquad meet that will take place at Robinson Center. From there, the girls will travel to Lincoln to compete against Nebraska for the Big 12 Relays on Oct. 13 and a dual meet on Oct. 14 against Nebraska-Omaha. The team will take on Northern Iowa and travel to Maryland and Ohio to wrap up their 2006 season before heading into winter training.
"We are trying to compete in the Big 12 and finish in the top three," Fox said. "In order to do that, we need to complete all our goals along the way. In the dual meets, we want to go undefeated and have a winning dual meet season. We try to peak at the Big 12 and prepare all season long for that. Overall, we are excited and ready for the up and coming season. We are looking forward to it."

CROSS COUNTRY
Chesang leads experienced team
At last year's Midwest Regional Championships in Iowa City, Iowa.
The goal for the Kansas cross country team this year sounds simple. Finish better than last year. This is easier said than done, especially in light of how well the men's and women's squads performed last year.
The women's team added new faces to the squad, but has experience from seniors Laura Major and Melissa Moody. The women's team will welcome seven freshmen onto the squad this year.
The men's team is also coming off an impressive 2005 campaign. Led by senior Benson Chesang, the two-time defending Big 12 Conference champion, the men's team returns five of its top seven runners from last year.
"It's hard to know what to expect," coach Stanley Redwine said. "The best way to be a runner is to run, so we'll see what we have when we get there."
the Jayhawk men's runners had their best results at the event in more than a decade, taking third place.
"It's definitely an advantage having so much experience, but there are no guarantees." Redwine said.
The cross country team will be competing in several recognizable meets this season, the first being in Lawrence.
Kicking off the season is the Bob Timmons Invitational on Sept. 2 at Rim Rock Farm on Highway 40 north of Lawrence.
From there the team will travel to Manhattan to compete in the Kansas State Wildcat Invitational on Sep. 8. Last year the women's team defeated the Wildcats and the men's squad settled for a tie.
Oct. 14 brings the NCAA Pre-nationals Invitational in Terre Haute, Ind. The Big 12 Championships follow, taking place in Lawrence at Rim Farm on Oct. 27.
The team will have a break before heading to Minneapolis, Minn., to compete in the Roy Griak Invitational on Sep. 23.
The team then travels back to Minneapolis, Minn., for the Midwest Regional Championships.
The season ends in Terre Haute, Ind., on Nov. 20, with the NCAA Championships. The men placed 12th last year, their best result at the event since 1994. In order for the teams to meet the goals of the season, Redwine said there would have to be a total team effort.
Redwine said it's difficult to say whether expectations were higher this year than last year.
"We have to take care of business at each meet and the results will show how talented this year's team really is," he said.
The 2005 season included five AllRegion performers and three All-Big 12 performers.
The team begins practice later this week.

Scholarships assist rugby recruitment

The University of Kansas men's rugby team anticipates scholarships can turn the team into one of the nation's elite.
After setting up its own endowment from alumni contributions, the

team hopes it can now join those elite schools and entice top-notch athletes to the field.
Clarke said the team hoped to have 50 players this season after having 40 last season. Teams are split into an A team and a B team, with 22 players on the active roster for the A team. Each team plays with 15 players on the field at a time.
"We feel like scholarships can make us more competitive," assistant coach Larry Clarke said
"We feel like scholarships can make us more competitive."
Last season the team lost several close games on its way to a 3-5 record in league play. Clarke hopes that adding scholarships can help the team get over the hump and qualify for the national tournament.
LARRY CLARKE
Rugby assistant coach
This will be the first season of the team's scholarship program. The team will give out two to four scholarships depending on how many deserving walk-on players it finds. Past rugby experience is not necessary, however.
"They just need to be a good athlete," Clarke said. "When they come out to practice, we'll approach them and say, 'Hey, we can turn you into a good rugby player.'"
He added that the assumption that only football players can play rugby is incorrect. He said the best players typically had a history in wrestling, basketball or soccer. Wrestlers are often the best tacklers; basketball players have the best hands, while soccer players are skilled with their feet.
The team plays its games at Westwick Rugby and Athletic Complex, its own fully-lit 55-acre facility south of Lawrence. Practices will move to Westwick after daylight-saving time ends, with practices taking place at Shenk Sports Complex, 23rd and Iowa, in the meantime.
In addition to recruiting walk-on players,scholarships will be available to recruit high school players and foreign exchange students.
"Some of the
foreign kids have been playing rugby their whole lives, and they can really help out the team," Clarke said.
The scholarships are given out at the end of the semester. If a student already has their tuition paid for, they can still receive money for other expenses.
"We can give out money for books and housing if tuition is already covered. We want to see both an on and off the field commitment to the team and the university." Clarke said.
Practices will be at 5 p.m. Monday and Wednesday at Shenk and at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Westwick. Anyone interested in the sport should show up to a practice to get a better perspective. Important qualities the coaches look for in players include fitness and dedication to the program. For more information, individuals can visit www.jayhawkkrugby.com.

CRIME

Clarett court trouble continues
BY RACHEL HOAG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Maurice Clarett was ordered to have a mental health evaluation following a bizarre and violent encounter with police in which the former Ohio State football star was caught with four guns after a highway chase.
The judge delayed a trial set to begin Friday on previous charges in which the player was accused of holding up two people outside a bar on New Year's Day.
Judge David Fais ordered the evaluation against the wishes of Clarett and his attorneys, citing the events surrounding the arrest early Wednesday.
"I clearly understand everything and I don't know why we have to drag this thing out," Clarett said, who so scoffed, smiled and rolled his head back when Fais announced his ruling.
Clarett's latest run-in with the law began when police noticed a
vehicle driving erratically, prompting a chase that ended with police spiking the SUV's tires.
Officers said they could not easily subdue Clarett because he was wearing a bulletproof vest that thwarted their stun guns.
After several police using pepper spray finally got him into handcuffs, the 6-foot, 245-pounder continued to struggle, kicking at the doors of the transport vehicle.
Officers also secured a cloth mask over Clarett's mouth after they say he spat at them.
As a freshman, Clarett led Ohio State to the 2002 national championship. It was the last game he played for the Buckeyes.
The Broncos made him a surprise third-round pick the following year, but he was cut during the preseason.
He was suspended for the following season after being charged with falsely reporting a theft to police.
After dropping out of school, he unsuccessfully challenged the NFLs draft eligibility rule.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
League coaches, players preview upcoming season
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Kansas City, Mo. — With the first college football game two months away, Big 12 coaches, players and media met July 24 to 26 to debate the recently released Big 12 preseason poll and speculate how the chips will actually fall in the conference. Coaches and players spoke their minds as conversations drifted to all aspects of college football.
Bill Callahan
Nebraska
Nebraska
Senior quarterback Zac Taylor is in his second season under coach Bill Callahan's west coast offense. If the Cornhusker offense is to return to its days of 40- and 50-point blowouts through the air instead of on the ground, experience will be the key.
Nebraska coach Bill Callahan explains his team's strategy for the upcoming season at the Big 12 Football Media Days in July. Kansas ended a 36-season long losing streak to Nebraska with its 40-15 victory at Memorial Stadium last season. The Jawhawks and Cornhuskers will meet in Lincoln this season on Sept. 30.
"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, a 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 frontrunners to replace graduated running back Cory Ross. However, Callahan didn't rule out a running back-bv-committee.
Joshua Bickel/KANSAN
"We'll play the best back," Callahan said. "Whether it's by committee, whether it two, three, four, five, however it shakes out, that's our goal." In the week following Callahan's comments, sophomore running back Leon Jackson transferred, trimming the battle from five to four.
Baylor was picked to finish last in the South this season by Big 12 media. Coach Guy Morriss expressed his displeasure with the preseason poll.
Bavlor
"Kind of POEd, to be honest with you," Morrisr said. "Everybody is entitled to their opinion. I don't think we'll end up in the cellar."
coming schedule, senior cornerback C.J. Wilson spent some extra time talking about Kansas and its fans.
When talking about Baylor's up
"I always have liked Kansas," Wilson said. "I've never had the chance to say publicly, but honestly, those fans are the type of people that keep college football going."
Kansas State
Coach Ron Prince — the first coach other than Bill Snyder to represent Kansas State at a Big 12 Media Day — made his respect for Snyder known from the start and didn't 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 was 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."
Kansas State's quarterback options will be limited this season. Sophomore quarterback Allan Evridge left the program last week, making him the third quarterback to transfer out of the program in the last five months. He follows freshman Kevin Lopina and senior Allen Webb.
No stranger to new starting quarterbacks, Texas Tech will start 2006 with its fifth different starting quarterback in five years — sophomore Graham Harrell. Senior offensive
Texas Tech
Texas Tech will no longer play on its signature Astro Turf surface at Jones AT&T Stadium, and coach Mike Leach said he would miss the old surface. He added that if the media had any Astro Turf needs, Texas Tech could hook them up with the right guy.
"When he got done with ours, it looked like a million bucks," Leach said. "If you have an Astro Turf, I recommend you call Texas Tech and we'll figure out who he is and you hire him."
lineman Manny Ramirez, shared his observations of Harrell's progression.
"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
Kansas has reached two bowl games in three years, but coach Mark Mangino didn't specify as to where he led like to see his team by the end of the season. However, 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."
Kansas lost a plethora of seniors from its 2005 defense and this year the Jayhawks could have a freshman at quarterback in Kerry Meier. So, which side of the ball is the greater concern for junior defensive tackle James McClinton?
"I'd say more on defense, there's a lot of youth," McClinton said. "The linebackers, they're all young and havent really played much. If you get them out there, let them mess up a couple plays, fix the correction and they're going to be really good players. On offense, I think Kerry Meier is going to hold it down."
Texas
Texas lost quarterback Vince Young to the NFL Draft in the offseason, so the Longhorns will rely on a pair of freshmen to fill arguably the biggest shoes in college football — redshirt-freshman Colt McCoy and freshman Jevan Snead. Despite their youth, coach Mack 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 Championship 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 door-step," senior cornerback Aaron Ross said. "He hasn't changed one bit since we won the national championship."
Oklahoma State
Oklahoma State won only four games in 2005 and coach Mike Gundy and his players cited turnovers as one of many reasons for their poor record. Nevertheless, they feel they've put last season's struggles behind them.
"We're a better football team than we were at the end of the season," Gundy said. "We're more mature in areas that I think make a big difference."

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 received 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.
"If we get in and protect (quarterback) Reid (Reid) 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
Texas A&M will conclude its regular season schedule against conference powerhouses Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas. Having to face such high-quality teams as the season winds down had coach Dennis Franchione longing for the good old days.
Texas A&M
"Those three teams we play in November may all be ranked in the top 10 by the time we play them," he said. "Not too many years ago when there was the Big 8 and the Southwest Conference, nobody in the nation would play Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas in the same season, but we're going to do it in November."
Iowa State
It's no secret that junior quarterback Bret Meyer is talented. He was named to the preseason All-Big 12 first team by the media. But leadership is what teammates describe as his greatest strength.
"He's got the ability to get everyone going around him and he's got the ability to light a fire underneath people," senior offensive lineman Scott Stephenson said. "With Bret, he can see the field, he can throw the ball well, he can run. He's all-around the best quarterback in the Big 12, in my opinion."
You could understand if Missouri players were worried about how the offense will run without dual-threat Brad Smith at quarterback. But junior tight end Martin Rucker likes what sophomore pocket-passer Chase Daniel brings to the offense.
have a closest-to-the-pin challenge or wed 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."
Missouri
In addition to some playing style adjustments, new coach Dan Hawkins has left his fingerprints on Colorado's practice routines.
Rucker said in the past, a player would run a route knowing that he wasn't going to get the ball. "Now you've got to run a little more because at any time, he'll throw the ball to you and he'll put it on the money and you've got to catch it," he said.
"He said he cheers for me and he cheers for Nebraska," Rucker said. "I talked to him yesterday and he said he will be in Lincoln this year and he was like, 'What you gonna do?'
Rucker's older brother Mike now plays in the NFL for the Carolina Panthers, but before that he played his college ball at Nebraska. So when Missouri travels to Lincoln, Neb., on Nov. 4, Martin said Mike would have a conflict of interests.
"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, he'd bring golf clubs out and wed
Oklahoma
Meyer displayed a leader's mentality during his question and answer session. Iowa State will face Texas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas Tech in its first four conference games, but Meyer isn't shying away from a schedule that could bury the Cyclones in the conference standings before the end of October.
Following a subpar season by Sooner standards and five years removed from its last national championship. Oklahoma has something to prove in 2006.
"We might as well have them all together," Meyer said. "I'm not going to say I'd like to have an easier schedule because that's not being a competitor. If that's the way you feel, then don't come play."
"As a team, we're coming off an 8-4 year and right now that's what we are and until we change it, we weren't good enough last year to be better than that and that's our job to be better this year and improve on that," coach Bob Stoops said.
However, the team has suffered two key losses in the past month. Oklahoma dismissed sophomores quarterback Rhett Bomar and offensive lineman J.D. Quinn after an investigation revealed the two received payment from a private business for hours of work they didn't complete.

WOMEN'S GOLF
Freshmen bring experience to team
Two freshmen qualified for the second stage of the U.S. Women's Open this summer
BY JOSH LANDAU
Ever since Erin O'Neil was named as the coach of the women's golf team, the team has steadily improved.
During her first season three years ago, O'Neil led the team to its first tournament victory since 1990. The following year O'Neil helped the team's national ranking improve three spots to No.63. O'Neil hopes the team will continue improving this season and said she wouldn't be surprised if the team won a tournament.
"I can see the potential, I know it's there," O'Neil said. "I don't want to put a limit on what they can do."
Amanda Costner, a senior, and Annie Giangrosso, a junior, will be the team's leaders. Although the team ended its season with an 11th place finish at the Big 12 Championship, the experience the players gained during the summer should help them this season.
Costner and Giangrosso competed in the United States Golf Association Women's Amateur Championship. Costner was also named to the All-Big 12 first team at the end of last season. Giangrosso won the Kansas Women's Amateur Championship in July.
The team will need Costner and Giangrosso's leadership this year. Five incoming freshmen will be a major addition to a team, which had only nine players last year.
"We'll have a pretty good mix of experience and youth that I think will be a good combination for us," O'Neil said.
The incoming freshmen have been accumulating experience
of their own during the summer. Emily Powers and Meghan Gockel, both freshmen each qualified for the second stage of the U.S. Women's Open. O'Neil traveled to Sweden to recruit freshman Camilla Svensson. Lawrence-native Sydney Wilson and Wichita-native Alyssa Rainbolt round out the freshman class. O'Neil expects to redshift Wilson and Rainbolt to give them time to develop with the help of the veteran players. She said the others will play as soon as they arrive.
"I think they will have an immediate effect on the team." O'Neil said. "We have some good leaders on the team that will help bring the freshmen along. Everybody's goal is to make the program better."
With a 12-person team and only five slots open for team play in tournaments, O'Neil is expecting the team to compete with each other to improve individually and as a group.
"I think it will be good and help push everybody to work harder," O'Nell said.
The team will begin practice on Aug. 21.
The fall season's hard work is but a prelude to the spring season, something that O'Neil thinks will pay off when their conference championship comes around in April.
"I think we can do great things," O'Neil said. "I want to let the fall be their time to get their feet under them."

ROWING
Students invited to learn more
BY THOR NYSTROM
The Kansas rowing team is looking for women interested in becoming Division I athletes.
The team will be holding informational meetings for female students interested in walking on to the 2006-2007 team on Wednesday, Aug. 23 and Thursday, Aug. 24 at 5 p.m. in Hadl Auditorium, located in the Wagnon Student Athlete Center adjacent to Allen Fieldhouse, Prior experience in rowing is not required.
This year's walk-ons will become part of a novice team that will travel to Iowa City, Iowa, in late October.
They will also race against Kansas State in Lawrence on November 11. The team practices two hours a day, five days a week in preparation for the season. Early practices will be conducted indoors where the team will learn rowing technique on rowing machines.
Assistant rowing coach Sarah Myers is optimistic about the upcoming season.
"Last year's team had a very successful season both on the water and in the classroom," she said. "I am very excited for this season to get underway. We will be returning many strong athletes from last year who are all eager to get going."
Another cause for excitement is that the team has gained some funding for a new boathouse. There is no timeline for construction.
The boathouse will be funded by a campus fee approved during Student Senate elections. Of that $20 fee, $15 will go directly toward the construction of the boathouse.
"I do feel that having a boathouse will help our program in many different ways," Myers said. "As in all sports, new facilities always draw attention to the program."
Myers felt that in addition to attracting new student-athletes to the program, the boothouse will help the team in another, more
practical way.
》
"One of the most important ways a boathouse will affect our team is with the upkeep of our equipment," she said.
The equipment was previously stored at city-owned Burcham Park, located at Second and Indiana Streets, enclosed in a fenced-in area nicknamed "The Cage."
Kansas is currently one of only two programs in the country to operate without a boathouse.

MEN'S GOLF
Team looks for lineup, assistant coach
BY ASHER FUSCO
The University of Kansas men's golf program had a valuable asset in assistant coach Roy Edwards. This summer, however, Colorado hired the 29-year-old to coach its men's golf team. The young coach and Kansas graduate will undoubtedly be missed when the Jayhawks take to the links to begin practice in several weeks.
Despite Edwards' departure from the program, things shouldn't change too drastically.
"Practice shouldn't change too much, although we'll miss Roy (Edwards) a lot because he's such a good guy," coach Ross Randall said.
Edwards' replacement has not been named, but Randall hopes to name a successor in the near future.
One thing that will lend an air
of stability to fall practices is the return of senior Gary Woodland. Woodland has shown flashes of brilliance and an ability to drive the
ball upward of 350 yards. He tied for fourth in the Porter Cup and reached the quarterfinals of the Western Amateur during the summer, pushing him to No. 22 in Golf week
to use the fall season to mix and match players in an effort to find a consistent starting lineup.

and we hope to greatly improve our national ranking' 'Randall said of his goals for the fall.
The Jayhawks finished 107th in last year's Golf week Magazine's rankings.
The Jayhawks'
place in this year's rankings may depend on the emergence of several young players. Sophomore Zach Pederson will need to improve upon a freshman season, which saw him start in several tournaments for
Kansas. Freshman Bobby Knowles may get a chance to crack the starting line up if he continues to play the way he did this summer, enjoying success in the U.S. Amateur qualifying rounds.
Regardless of how many new players fill Randall's starting lineup, he'll see a familiar face at many tournaments this fall: Kansas will compete against Edwards' Colorado squad on several occasions. Though the Jayhawks harbor no ill will toward Edwards or his decision to leave, the team will undoubtedly aim to show him that the Jayhawks are ready to compete in 2006.

Paterno has no plans of departure
Carolyn Kaster/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Penn State coach Jae Paterno waves to the crowd during a Penn State game in 2004. Paterno has been at the school since the 1960s.
BY GENARO C. ARMAS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Tanned and rested after his beloved beach vacation. Joe Paterno was ready to go. Season No. 41 as Penn State head coach awaited.
"I feel great and I feel that I am going to coach as long as I feel good about myself and still be excited about my work." Paterno said at Big Ten media day in Chicago earlier this month.
It seems that Paterno's familiar rolled-up khakis and smoky, thick-rimmed glasses won't be disappearing from the sidelines any time soon, especially after last year's football resurgence — an 11-1 record and Coach of the Year honors for Paterno.
Who's next after JoePa?
High times in Happy Valley, though a question still looms.
"Whenever the time comes, we'll cross that bridge at that time," athletic director Tim Curley said.
Curley said there was no succession plan in place. Paterno is under contract for another two seasons.
He'll be 82 on Dec. 21, 2008.
"He loves it. It's his passion," said Jerry Sandusky, one of the many assistants who Paterno has outlasted. Sandusky retired after the 1999 season after 30 years on the staff. "He loves the thrill of the competition, and challenge of a new group."
Yet the topic of how much longer
potential successors. But there appears to be underlying sentiment, at least, to find someone accustomed
invariably comes up around Paterno — in passing, among fans; from reporters; and on the recruiting trail.
"I tell a kid that we are recruiting. I hope to be around at least three, four, five years, and that's what I plan to do," Paterno said.
"Every once in awhile, I'il stick my two cents in and yell at some of the coaches something terrible because I don't know what's going on."
JOE PATERNO Penn State Coach
School officials, hardcore alumni and people close to the football program hesitate about even suggesting
to the "Penn State way"
when the time comes.
A mong Nittany Nation outsiders, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, who has been rumored to be a candidate to move up to the NFL, is
a Pennsylvania native who grew up a Penn State fan. The Post-Gazette of Pittsburgh reported in a column two
years ago that then-Iowa athletic director Bob Bowlbs said he thought Penn State might be the only college job that could lure Ferentz from the Hawkeves.
But wooing Ferentz for any job could be expensive: His contract was restructured a couple of months ago and it nearly doubled his annual salary to $2.84 million. His contract expires after 2012.
While he's still very much the boss, Paterno has admitted to delegating more responsibility to his assistants in recent years.
"I don't want to step back too far," Paterno joked earlier this summer.
"So every once in awhile, I'll stick my two cents in and yell at some of the coaches something terrible because I don't know what's going on."

His base salary of $603,438 makes him one of only four coaches in the Big 12 who does not earn at least $1 million. Texas coach Mack Brown makes about as much as Mangino's salary just for wearing Nike apparel on the sidelines.
Guy Morriss makes a reported $1.1 million per season at Baylor, but his career record is just 11-23 including a 5-6 overall record and a 2-6 mark in conference play. Why the heck is Guy Morriss making more than Mark Mangino? What has Morriss done that Mangino hasn't?
FOOTBALL
Mangino deserves more
》
Mangino's career record with the Jayhawks was a non-impressive 15-28 after Colorado game. The team surged to a 3-0 start before dropping to 3-4 on the season and 0-4 in Big 12 play.
Times sure have changed. After the football team lost its fourthstraight game last season, a 44-13 drubbing by Colorado, some students on campus were calling for coach Mark Mangino to be fired. Now, people are saying that he doesn't make enough money and should get a new contract to stay with the lavihawks.
Sports-talk shows began to suggest that Mangino "wasn't Lew's guy" because Athletic Director Lew Perkins came to KU after Mangino had been hired. Speculation arose that Perkins might fire Mangino at the end of the season.
By improving the on-field success of the Jayhawks, Mangino has helped boost season ticket sales. Attendance soared to an average of more than 43,000 per game in 2005.
That all changed, however, when the Jayhawks went an improbable 4-1 to finish the season. With those four victories came some of the most magical and memorable moments in recent Kansas football history. The Jayhawks ended Nebraska's 36-game winning streak in the series by defeating the Cornhuskers in Lawrence. Then, KU drove down the field and scored with just minutes remaining against Iowa State to tie the game and send it into overtime. Kicker Scott Webb won the game for the Jayhawks and made them bowl eligible for the second time in three years under Mangino.
Mangino has done everything he has been asked to do. He's lived up to his end of the deal. He's improved the product on the field, and helped Kansas be known as more than just a basketball school. Despite whether Perkins hired him, Mangino needs to be rewarded for what he's done.
in the Big 12 in the near future and Mangino is one reason why. The thing I can't figure out, though, is why Mangino is the lowest-paid coach in the league. Yes, that's right. With everything that Mangino has done to help KU football recover from the dreadful Terry Allen days, Mangino is the lowest-paid football coach in the Big 12 Conference.
BY B. J. RAIN
To top it off, Mangino's bunch
It's obvious to anyone who has watched Mangino during the past four years that Mangino has completely turned around this program. The Jayhawks went 2-10, including 0-8 in the Big 12, during Mangino's first year at Kansas in 2002. The Jayhawks have shown steady improvement each season, including a trip to the Tangerine Bowl in 2003, victories against Kansas State and Missouri in the same season for the first time in 15 years in 2004, and the magical finish to the 2005 season resulting in the Fort Worth Bowl title.

Kansas may be on its way to becoming one of the top programs
Now, as the football team prepares for the 2006 season with the desire of topping last years success, Perkins is working with Mangino on a contract extension. It's about time, Lew.
smoked Houston 42-13 in the nationally-televised Fort Worth Bowl, securing the best Christmas present Mangino could have received. He quieted the critics and was essentially assured of keeping his job.

THE TRUTH
Don't cry for Clarett
Bright lights, fans that adore your every move, fame and a potential fortune lie at the end of a tunnel for a select and lucky group of college athletes.
But the temptations that exist on the dark side of college athletics can seduce even the most mentally strong player. For Maurice Clarett, bad decisions that began as a college football athlete have sent him down a self-destructive path, one that is leading further away from the football field.
Clarett was arrested early Wednesday when he failed to pull over after a traffic violation and led police on a chase through Columbus, Ohio. Police found three loaded handguns, a loaded AK-47 and a bullet-resistant vest in Clarett's possession.
It was his second arrest in the last eight months. He was arrested in January on charges of armed robbery. It was another sad chapter in a novel that should have had a much more promising story line.
As a freshman at Ohio State, Clarett starred at running back and led the Buckeyes to the national championship in 2002. But he was suspended the following year after university officials learned he had received thousands of dollars worth of special benefits.
Clarett's story is a cautionary tale that should be used as a deterrent in every college locker room in America.
His story is one that can happen to athletes when they decide to ignore the student-athlete label and focus on the athlete portion of their title.
Clarett came to college looking for a free pass and today his football career will never amount to what it could have. Growing up in Ohio, he was frequently mentioned as the football equivalent of another

famous Ohio native, LeBron James. Now, all they have in common is an area code.
I won't cry for Clarett and neither should you; he has had plenty of opportunities. Even after dropping out of college, he was drafted by the Denver Broncos in 2005, but was cut after he showed up to training camp out of shape and with little motivation to improve his conditioning.
Even here at Kansas, the trappings of athletics and that "I'm an athlete and I am entitled to this" mentality can tear down the biggest stars, including former basketball players J.R. Giddens and Lester Earl.
Clarett's story proves that super stardom is not guaranteed and every athlete should have a backup plan.
What will happen when the lights diminish and all the fans disappear? Athletes should say they went to college and left with something more than just a ball in one hand. Hopefully they will leave with a college degree in the other.

U.S. basketball takes on world
>> 'HORN BORN,'HAWK BRED
Basketball's version of the FIFA World Cup — the FIBA World Championship in Japan — is coming this Friday.
U. S. basketball has not won the event, which is every four years, since 1994. In 2002, the team finished in a dismal sixth place. Even after that wake-up call, it still finished only third at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
But the NBA tends to breed a selfish brand of basketball player, one who relies on one-on-one match-ups to use his skills and athleticism to his advantage. To make up for their disadvantages, international players fill roles and use structured basketball to rise above the pure talent of the USA players. This style resembles the NCAA more than the NBA.
With by far the most extensive talent pool to choose from, why should the U.S. ever lose at the game it created, developed and traditionally dominated? This country should surpass all others in basketball, more than any other worldwide sport.
So what did U.S. basketball do? It hired arguably the best college coach in America — Mike Krzyezewski of Duke — to make sure every player was on board with a new, unselfish outlook. It also recruited Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Gilbert Arenas, Elton Brand, Chris Paul and even former Jayhawks Kirk Hinrich and Paul

Pierce, among others. Pierce won't play in this event because of an injury, but he should be available for the 2008 Olympics.
Krzyzewski seems to have tamed these superstars in spite of their large eggs. The game plan requires each player to come in when instructed, do their part, then leave to give someone else a chance to contribute. That means no one should be taking 90 shots like Allen Iverson did during the 2004 Olympics.
The strategy seems to be paying off so far. The U.S. has been warming up in the weeks leading up to the event, defeating Puerto Rico 114-69, China 119-73 and Brazil 90-86. While the Brazil game was close, it proved the team could handle adversity.
Hinrich scored 14 points in that game, including a three-point shot to end the third quarter, which Brazil had dominated. His shot put the U.S. up by a single point heading into the fourth quarter. Then in the last minute, still up by only one, James did what he does best, driving
the baseline for a basket. In the final seconds, Joe Johnson stole the ball from Brazil, was fouled and made a free throw that sealed the game.
During the world championship, the U.S. will be tested like it was against Brazil. Even though it was only a four-point victory, different players proved they could each contribute clutch plays at important moments of the game on both ends of the floor.
This year's group is the closest thing resembling a "Dream Team" since 1992. The talent of the players and their new "team" mindset should make for fun basketball.

SOCCER
Coach hopes exhibitions tranlate to season success
BY MARK DENT
So what exactly can a soccer team gain by playing a few spring games against All-Star Canadians and 15-year-old boys?
Plenty, at least according to Mark Francis.
"All of the players have improved; I can't think of one player who hasn't," coach Francis said about his team's spring exhibition season. "We had a really good spring season."
Kansas, which finished with a 1-2-3 spring record, began its spring odyssey in the freezing cold rain against Minnesota, which it tied 1-1.
It was two weeks later against Yale,
however, that the Jayhawks showed
some firepower. Playing against a Yale team that had advanced to the round of 16 during the NCAA tournament last fall, Kansas blew the bulldogs out of the water, mainly because of the play of senior Holly Gault.
Gault, who was playing in her second-ever collegiate game at forward, scored a would-be-benKU record five goals in the jayhawks' 7-2 victory. The record was not set by Gault because spring season statistics do not count towards regular season records. Just as impressive was the rest of Gault's stat line: two assists. In other words, Gault contributed to all seven points for Kansas.
"We were just playing really well as a team that day," Gault said. "My
teammates were feeding me the ball at the right times and I just had to knock it in."
In the Jayhawks' next game Gault continued to impress by scoring a last minute goal to tie a 15-under boys team. But it would be the next game against the Canadian Women's National Team where the Jayhawks would get to show what they were really made of.
"I know we can play them competitively," Francis said before the match. "Otherwise we wouldn't be playing against them."
Francis' words rang true as his team played magnificently on the defensive end, stopping Canada for nearly the entire game. The Canadians were finally able to score
on a penalty kick late in the game to win 1-0. Sophomore goalkeeper Julie Hanley contributed several saves that kept Kansas in the game.
To finish the spring season, the Jayhawks lost close games to two more 15-under boys teams but overall, Francis was pleased with the effort of his team.
"Our team defense is better, and offensive, everyone is on the same page," Francis said. "Spring is all about improving and playing the best competition."

Tournament snub motivates Gault
BY MARK DENT
One thought lingered in Holly Gault's mind as she began practice last week: the NCAA tournament.
Last year, Kansas finished in a four-way tie for second place in the Big 12, but was left out of the NCAA tournament, a decision that the team hasn't forgotten.
"It is going to be a huge motivation this year," the senior forward said. "I've been on a team that's won the Big 12 and made the Sweet 16. I want my teammates to be able to experience that."
With last years snub still fresh on the team's mind, it returns as a core group that is ready to do even better than last season's 11-victory campaign that put Kansas in a fourway tie for second place in the Big 12 Conference.
Although six seniors are gone since last season, Kansas' cupboard is anything but bare with eight players, who started at least half of the team's games, returning and eight new freshmen. If anything, the jayhawks might have too much depth.
"I think we will be all right," coach Mark Francis said. "There's a lot of young girls doing well and there will be a lot of competition for spots. We have the potential to be pretty good."
While all returning players and newcomers have good chances to shine, Gault sticks out as the player Kansas is going to lean on. Gault, an All-American and All-Big 12 athlete who has played defender throughout her career, will be moved to forward this season to help bolster the Jayhawks' scoring attack. Such a switch should not prove to be difficult for the senior, as she played forward in spring games and even scored five goals in one game.
Gault will most likely be joined up front by seniors Lacey Novak and Jessica Kilpatrick, and three freshmen who are all competing for playing time. Together, those forwards will hope to make up for the loss of all-time leading goal scorer Caroline Smith, who graduated last year.
"Holly was phenomenal up front in the spring," Francis said. "Novak came in fit, and our freshmen forwards are doing well and could get
some playing time."
The offense, however, is not the only talented group on the field. Returning for a Kansas defense that had eight shutouts last season is senior Nikki Alvarez, junior Afton Sauer and sophomore Jenny Murtaugh.
Murtaugh, who played all but 19 minutes in her freshman year, is one of six talented sophomores for the Jayhawks. Just like Murtaugh, AllBig 12 Newcomer team midfielders Jessica Bush and Missy Geha started each game. Goalkeeper Julie Hanley started the last eight games of the season and collected seven wins with a 1.16 goals against average. Rounding out the core sophomore group are Sara Rogers and Kristin Graves, who saw action in nearly every game.
Even with potential bursting at the seams, the Jayhawks could find it tough to stay afloat with a difficult non-conference schedule and a Big 12 Conference that sent five teams to the NCAA tournament last season.
"Our schedule is a lot tougher than last year," Francis said. "I think
we play a total of 10 teams that made the NCAA last season, and the Big 12 should be a tight race again."
Highlighting Kansas' non-conference season are games in California and Alabama that feature perennial contenders Duke and California. On the conference slate, the jayhawks square off against every Big 12 foe, including defending Big 12 Champion Texas A&M at home. Kansas starts its season Friday in an exhibition at Drake and comes home to play its first match of the season against Furman on Aug. 25.
With a promising season lying right on the horizon for the Jayhawks, Gault is ready to show everyone what her team can do.
"My expectations for this team are really high," Gault said. "We need to do a lot better than last year, win the Big 12, and make the NCAA tournament."

New season brings nine new faces
BY BETTY KASPAR
The Kansas softball team lost a large portion of its offense to graduation after last year's season — their three through seven spots in the lineup, to be exact. Coach Tracy Bunge is aware that the six seniors

Filling gaps a challenge for 2006 squad
Search for leadership includes both returning starters and new arrivals
BY ALISSA BAUER

Former closer Don Czyz celebrates the last out of the 2006 Big 12 tournament. The victory was Kansas' first Big 12 baseball title.
The downside to having a solid core of senior leadership is the hole the players leave behind after Major League Baseball and graduation take their toll.
This time last year, the experienced veterans held seven positions.
"We obviously have a challenge ahead of us," Price said. "We lost some key players."
Coach Ritch Price and his team suffered a setback in May when seven starters cashed in their final season of eligibility. Eventually, six players were drafted, including junior lefty starter Sean Land.
Although Price, Czyz, Quick and others left gaps in the line up, they didn't leave their former team without tools.
Kansas can't avoid the tough task of replacing key players, such as Ritchie Price, Kansas' all-time hits leader; Don Czyz, Kansas' first All-American; since 1996; and Kodiak Quick, the Kansas record holder for most victories in a season.
"Those guys were definitely great leaders," junior third baseman Erik Morrison said of the departure of his former teammates. "But I'm not nervous. I'm more excited than nervous."
Word is getting out about last year's Big 12 tournament champions, led by that core of seniors.
"Kids are watching it all over America and it's made recruiting fabulous," Price said. "It's made it a great summer."
Price and company will focus primarily on pitching this fall. The experienced weekend starting rotation of Land, Quick, Czyz and Ricky Fairchild must be reconstructed from the ground up.
To do this, Price is looking to newcomers Zach Ashwood and Brett Bollman. Ashwood comes to Lawrence after two seasons at Texas Christian University. The 6-foot-4 lefty threw 33.2 innings last season for a 5.08 ERA.
Contrasting the lefty is the 5-foot-10 Bollman. Bollman, a transfer from Arkansas, threw 16.2 innings in his freshman campaign, but his 89-91 mph fastball will play a large part in his chance of taking a weekend starting spot.
Price is also looking to sophomore left hander Nick Czyz to grow into a weekend starter.
Last season, Czyz had a 4-3 record and saw nearly 50 innings on the mound. His 45 strikeouts to 30 walks shows his command on the mound, but with room for improvement.
Behind the plate, Joe Servais,
Garden City Community College
transfer, may take on in the catcher's spot, which is in need of some stability.
In his second year at Garden City, Servais started all 54 games and hit .356 with a .971 fielding percentage.
Robby Price — Sunflower League player of the year, first team All-Metro and All-State — will join his older brother Ryne in the middle infield. Robby is likely to take
Ritchie's territory at short.
Coach Price said that despite rumors that he's entertaining coaching offers from other teams, he'll stay at KU.
Robby brings 28 RBI and a .511 season from his senior year at Free State High School.
"I've got two sons that play for
me, I'm not looking for another job." Price said. "All those things happen when you're successful."

Riding high after its first Big 12 Tournament championship, the baseball team finished the season with a 43-25 record. The 43 victories were the second most in program history and meant a fourth consecutive season with 40 victories. Coincidentally, it was coach Ritch Price's fourth season with the team.
"The first thing for me, it was a fulfillment of a dream," Price said. "And the second thing was our goal to get 40 wins and we've done it for a school record four times in a row. Then we wanted to finish top 20 in the country, we finished at 22 and made the NCAA tournament. It was a great personal feeling of accomplishment."
Nearing the end of a season deemed difficult enough to earn a No. 26 RPI ranking based on strength of schedule, the layhawks dropped a pair of key games to the University of Northern Colorado in May.
Those losses almost killed the opportunity for a bid to the NCAA tournament. Almost.
In late May, the Jayhawks swept Texas A&M at home and took a No. 6 seed with them to the Big 12 Tournament in Oklahoma City. Kansas outscored its opponents 31-18 in four straight victories, including the 9-7 victory against No. 14 Nebraska in the championship.
"It's still fresh," junior third baseman Erik Morrison said of the tournament his team won more than two months ago. "We were just a real close knit group of guys who worked hard and took it seriously."
Morrison said winning the tournament made him sigh with relief.
"We were head and shoulders
better than what everybody thought we were going to be," Morrison said.
But they weren't done, yet. The Jayhawks were automatically granted a bid to the NCAA tournament and were sent to the Corvallis, Ore., regional, hosted by Oregon State, for its first appearance since 1994.
Kansas overcame an early 5-0 deficit in its tournament opener against Hawaii to win 9-6. Deforeating Hawaii stretched Kansa's winning streak to eight games, but it would go no further. Oregon State, the eventual National Champion, crushed Kansas 11-3 before Hawaii ended the Jayhawks postseason run altogether with a 9-5 victory.
"It was kind of a bittersweet ending. Wed just won the Big 12 tournament and everybody was still high off that" Morrison said. "It sucked to lose to Hawaii, but that's how baseball is. One game can end it."
Kansas finished its conference season tied for fifth place, the highest since the Big 12's creation in 1996.
The Jayhawks' conference tournament title was their first since winning the Big Seven in 1949. The six Jayhawks drafted into the Major League tied for the most drafted from Kansas, and its 75 home runs set a team record.
"We'd go out somewhere and people didn't even know KU had a baseball team," Morrison said of their trip to Oregon.
Morrison was amused. "Kansas does have a baseball team," he said. "And we can play a little bit."

Kansas guard Brandon Rush returns for his second season at Kansas. Self said Rush and others had work to do.
Players, coaches stay busy through summer vacation
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Summer vacation
It's been five months since Kansas last took the court. Nevertheless, coach Bill Self and his players have stayed busy this summer along with the rest of the Big 12 Conference.
Self devoted much of his early summer schedule to running the Bill Self Kansas Basketball Camps,
in addition to recruiting. Last month, though Self finally found some free time and decided to take a trip to the Bahamas.
"I took my family on vacation, and it was the first one we'd been on in a while together," Self said. "That was good to

and of get our batteries recharged.
One thing Self couldn't do was oversee his players' summer workouts. As far as he knew, everyone on the team worked out on his own time and only junior center Sasha Kaun and sophomore guard Brandon Rush spent most of their summers outside of Lawrence. Kaun returned to Lawrence Wednesday, after a trip to his birthplace of Tomsk, Russia to update his passport.
"They all lifted hard, conditioned relatively hard and supposedly spent a lot of time in the gym working on their own, but we cannot monitor or control that," Self said.
Underclassmen still here
Underclassmen still here As the college basketball season wound down and the NBA Draft neared, whispers surrounded a handful of Jayhawks and their potential if they were to leave early.
Most of the whispers were about Rush, but he stayed put. Something that didn't surprise his coach.

his part," Self said. "We have some guys that are potentially high draft picks, but they're not there yet, so we definitely have some work to do and they have some work to do in order to get them where they need to be."

Men's Basketball Coach
Self's players
The 2006 NBA Draft was the first time since 2000 that no Jayhawks heard their names called on draft day.
With the exit of last year's senior class, a new era of Kansas basketball began.
Christian Moody, Jeff Hawkins, Stephen Vinson and Moulaje Niang were the final class of Roy Williams' recruits, so the 2006-07 season
"The teams that we've had in the past with Wayne, Aaron, Mike and Keith, their skill level was probably a little bit higher than some of the players we have at the present time, but I do think athletically the guys we have in our program are really good athletes and probably a little bit ahead as a group than even those guys were early in their careers," Self said. "Certainly, I enjoyed those guys and I know I'm going to enjoy these guys as well."
will be Self's first with a roster full of players he brought to Kansas. But that doesn't mean his former players won't be missed.
In late July it became apparent the Butler University athletic director position would be open to Barry Collier, if he wanted it. So, even with the basketball season a few months away, Collier - who coached at Butler from 1989 to 2000 - left his position as men's basketball coach at Nebraska to take the job.
Big 12 coaching carousel continues
Self said the timing of Collier's move didn't surprise him, because it was out of Collier's control.
To replace Collier, Nebraska found Doc Sadler, who had been coaching at UTEP. Self said held known Sadler for a long time and thought Nebraska made a good choice.
"He's a very personable, hard-nosed guy that will definitely do a good job there," Self said.
On July 25 during the Big 12 Football Media Days,Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg discussed the possibility of the Big 12 participating in a regular season tournament similar to the ACC/Big 10 Challenge.
Big 12/Pac-10 Challenge?
"We've been interested in this concept for a while, not because other conferences do it, but because we've been searching for ways to continue to improve nonconference schedules across our conference, which is an important factor in strength of conference and RPI." Weiberg said. "And the Pac-10 has expressed a lot of interest in the possibility of partnering with us on that."
Weiberg said the Big 12 had been in negotiations with the SEC, but the two sides couldn't reach an agreement, so the SEC moved on to an agreement with the Big East. The Big 12 is now in talks with the Pac-10, but differences in conference sizes and television entities could stand in the wav of an agreement.
Weiberg said if negotiations went well, the two conferences could square off as soon as the 2007-08 season.
As for the affect a Big 12/Pac-10 Challenge would have on Kansas, Self said he was in favor of the idea.
"We haven't struggled scheduling, as far as being able to get some high quality opponents, but that is something that I think would benefit our entire league." Self said.

Tour ends in sudden-death playoff, Wilson takes win
Lehman, who said he would have been reluctant to play for himself because of his putting game, nearly became the first Ryder Cup captain to win a PGA Tour event during his term since Jack Nicklaus won the Masters in 1986. But his eagle putt on the par-5, 492-yard 17th hole in regulation was short.
CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — Dean Wilson earned his first PGA Tour win with a birdie on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff, topping Tom Lehman at the International at Castle Pines on Sunday.
Lehman, who hasn't won since the 2000 Phoenix Open, hit a 1-iron to within 15 feet on 17 and figured he had the five-point eagle in his pocket.
BY ARNIE STAPLETON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lehman would've vaulted into seventh place in the Ryder Cup standings with a win. He is captain of the U.S. team that will travel to Ireland next month to try to bring home the cup for the first time since 1999.
After Lehman barely missed wide on a 30-foot put for birdie, Wilson sank a 6-footer to win the $990,000 first-place prize. His best previous finish was a tie for third at the 2004 Valero Texas Open.
"It looked so fast," Lehman said of the green. "I was quite shocked 1 left
it short. I hit a beautiful shot right on line. I didn't think there was any way I'd leave it short."
The ball stopped 4 inches shy of the hole, however, and his tap-in for birdie tied him with Wilson in the clubhouse at 34 points.
Under the special Stableford scoring system that is used nowhere else on the PGA Tour, golfers at the International get five points for eagles, two for birdies, nothing for pars and minus-one for bogeys and minus-three for double-bogeys or worse.
Both Lehman and Wilson sank beautiful 2-foot putts on the 72nd hole. Steve Flesch nearly joined them in the playoff but he missed a 12-footer for birdie on 18.
Lehman and Wilson both parried No. 18 and headed to No. 9, where Lehman used an 8-iron from 175 yards and left his ball on the edge of the bunker, 30 feet away from the flag. Wilson hit an 8-iron from 160 yards and his shot landed 6 feet away.
Wilson started the day in seventh place, five points behind leader Zach Johnson, and posted seven birdies and a bogey. Lehman started in fifth and had six birdies and two bogeys.
Flesch and Daisuke Maruyama tied for third place with 32 points, followed by Stewart Cink with 31.
Next year, the International moves
up to the Fourth of July weekend, a change that tournament founder Jack Vickers hopes will attract Tiger Woods to Castle Pines for the first time since 1999.
Ernie Els, however, said some overseas players, including himself, will find it hard to come back to the majestic mountain course at the foothills of the Rockies.
Vowed. Vickers: "We'll still be competitive."
"It's going to help the American players. It's going to hurt the international players because that time of the year we've got some big tournaments in Europe," Els said. "So, it's going to hurt the tournament, I think."
One player who anticipates he'll return to Castle Pines despite a miserable final round Sunday is Retief Goosen, the 2005 champion who had five bogeys and two double-bogeys over the last 18 holes and finished last among the 36 golfers who survived both of Saturday's cuts.
Goosen still felt good about his game heading into the PGA Championship in Chicago.
"I played like a dog today, but I'm looking forward to next week," he said.
Johnson teed off with the lead Sunday but never recovered from a double-bogey on his first hole and finished with 26 points, one fewer than he started the day with.

CAMPUS
The top to do's on the top of the hill
BYTOM SLAUGHTER
As students return for the full semester, there will be plenty of opportunities to explore scholastic ventures on campus. What might be lost are the niceties that "the hill" offers students when they need to take a break. Kansan reporter Shungher polled KU students to find out what they prefer doing on campus when they aren't in class. The responses are compiled below.
Best Bathroom
1. BUDIG COMPUTER LAB
This was the winner hands-down. Five urinals one lowered, four stalls, four sinks, including one in the handicap stall, and one full-length mirror. This is truly the daring bathroom of the University. For guys, at least.
2. WATSON LIBRARY FOURTH FLOOR
"It's a nice, quiet place to use the bathroom," Jacob Colbe, Baldwin sophomore, said. Colbe was reluctant, however, to confess that the Watson bathroom was his favorite. "Now everybody will know my secret."
3. ANSCHUTZ "QUIET ZONE"
The reason people go there to study is also the reason they go there to do their business: you can be down there for hours and not be bothered.
Parking Lot #72, just east of the Burge Union, is typically the first student lot to fill up during the day. In order to ease traffic congestion and free up space, the Parking Department is currently constructing a New Park and Ride Lot on West Campus.
Best Place to People Watch
1. WESCOE BEACH
Joshua Bickel/KANSAN
Whether it's a white-haired preacher screaming Bible verses or a guy in a chicken-suit handing out flyers, Wescot Beach is never short on its list of characters.
2. THE LIBRARY
3. THE CROSSING
Being at the library implies being studious, not precrastinating. However, there are always people to look at if one needs a study break.
Lot No. 72
Restricted Parking
8AM To 4PM M-F
Yellow Permit
Required.
The consumemate slacker's place to people watch. Unfortunately, patrons need to take advantage while they still can; it might be closing soon.
1. CHICK-FIL-A
Best Campus Restaurant
2. SUSHI STATION
The campus favorite narrowly defeated the Sushi station as the best restaurant on campus.
3. BRELLAS SANDWICH CRAFTERS
The small boutique serves "Cream Cheese Rolls," "California Rolls" and the "Fullmoon Crab Combo," amongst a plethora of others.
With servers who prepare sandwiches to order, they also have such meals as the "Roasted Picnic Chicken Sandwich," "Meatball grinder" and the "Mega Veggie Delight."
While these three restaurants had the top three responses, they were various other choices on campus that received votes.
"I'm hooked on the Chinese place at the Under ground," Warren Parker, Olate junior said.
Rect Place in Sleep
There is a lot of room to hide on the fourth floor at Watson, particularly toward the back of the stacks. Drool-laden naps are a common occurrence. Parker said that he has never slept on campus, but if he did, this would be the place. "Td imagine the library would be, probably Watson," he said.
1. WATSON LIBRARY, FOURTH FLOOR
While this building is bustling with students, the three feet of space between the walls and the carpeted benches offer welcomed seclusion.
Self explanatory. The deals with dividers that line the walls offer dozoes seclusion in the otherwise busy 24 hour-a-day library known as "Club Anachora."
WESCOE, FOURTH FLOOR
3. ANSCHUTZ "QUIET ZONE"
Best Place to Starboard
"The setting is perfect for a late afternoon bake Campanie Hill, Memorial Stadium and the rollag hill of Eastern Kansas are just perfect. "It's not right on the main flow of traffic," Chavis Lickov, Houston junior, said as to why he thinks it's a great place to bake.
1. POTTER'S LAKE
2. FRASER HALL
The lawn in front of Freser is often occupied by an impromptu game of Fakebee on warm days, but students agreed that this was the next best place to be out.
Sort of an odd place to want to enjoy, nickname alike. Despite herds of passer by on the way to class say the carnival nets of the tunic in film of Warner Hall students enjoy catching was here.

CRACKING THE PARKING COLOR CODE
PARKING
BY TOM SLAUGHTER
There are 135 parking lots at the University of Kansas that consist of more than 13,000 spaces. Considering those figures, one would think that finding a parking space on campus is an easy task. While available parking might seem ample, anyone who has ever tried to park on campus knows that it isn't that easy finding a space.
As students approach the 2006-2007 school year, it is important that they have an idea of the parking situation on campus.
Donna Hultine, director of Parking Services, said that the beginning of each fall semester posed difficulties for students, faculty, staff and visitors.
"We will have gridlock," Hultine said.
There are 19 different parking permits available on campus. However, approximately 70 percent of the lots on campus correspond with a color-coded system. Access to these lots is based upon certain merits, including age and position. Gold is of the highest color distinction, followed by blue, red and yellow. Permits of higher distinction supersede lower ones, meaning people with the higher-ranking permits can park in lots below their color distinction.
Most students purchase yellow permits, available at the Parking Department, just north of Allen Fieldhouse, for $140. There are 35 yellow lots on campus, and approximately 5,500 corresponding spaces.
A new policy will prevent incoming freshmen from purchasing yellow permits this year. Hultine said the new policy was a result of the implementation of the Park and Ride system on campus. Freshmen can purchase a Park and Ride permit for $205 through KU on Wheels. Failing to pay parking tickets can result in enrollment holds, and the department can have a car towed.
Hultine said that the majority of students who received parking tickets got them because they confused the color distinctions.
Brian Stites, Olathe graduate student, has received tickets throughout his time at KU. He hasn't had his car towed, but he has dealt with some consequences of outstanding tickets.
Hultine said that the meter
Hultine said that the department generally would tow a violator's vehicle if there were three outstanding tickets for more than ten business
days.
parking spaces on Sunnyside Avenue stuck out in her mind as being a highly-ticketed area.
"I would bet you could have a ticket-writer there all day," Hultine said.

On-campus jobs offer students convenience

"Sometimes offices become a really good reference for after graduation," she said. "It helps build resume and skills, even if it's in an area different from their major."

Students have many on-campus job opportunities, including working for KU Dining Services at The Underground in Wescoe Hall. Students looking for jobs at the University can go online to www.ku.edu and click on jobs.
Kolobrodova, who doesn't have a car, walks to work everyday from her house at 19th and Alabama streets. Even when she did have a car, Kolobrodova still did for the on-campus job because of the convenient location.
Anastasia Kolobrodova, Overland Park junior, works for KU's computer labs as a computer lab assistant in Anschutz Library, which is adjacent to Budig Hall. She said it "is the best job ever" because it's convenient and her boss is great.
Kolobrodova said she had friends who worked long or late-night hours that upset their sleep schedule, which was another reason she appreciated her job.
"Whenever we have time,we can work," she said. "And we don't have to work obnoxious hours."
Students interested in finding an on-campus job can visit KU's job Web site, which is located under jobs at www.ku.edu.

campus job could be competitive because the Web site allowed easy accessibility to the applications.
"Before online applications, students had to run around to each office, so there weren't as many applications," she said. "Before they only got 15 to 20 applications. Now they might get 40."
But don't get discouraged yet. With 1,430 jobs posted between July 1. 2005 and June 30, 2006, there is bound to be a job position that fits.
"It becomes more important for applications to look good and have lots of information on it," she said. "Make sure everything is complete and class schedule is up-to-date."

Hartley recommended that students stay persistent when applying, and put lots of information on the applications, especially in the skills section.
Hartley said there were a variety of on-campus jobs available to students, from office and department jobs to tutoring and grading to positions in the campus labs, computer centers, libraries and residence halls.
"It's a real interesting mix," she said.

Dean focuses on planning
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
Joseph Steinmetz began his tenure as dean the college of liberal arts
and sciences at the University of Kansas July 1. Steimetz came from Indiana University where he had served as chairman of the department of psychology for 10 years in additior
Steinmetz
THE HISTORIAN
to being a full professor. He was also a senior advisor to the dean of liberal arts and sciences for long range planning in 2005. Steinmetz started his career at Indiana as an assistant professor in 1987
Q: Why did you choose to come to KU?
A:This is an incredibly great place, outstanding place. With good students, good faculty, a good national reputation and in particular, since I have the position as dean of the Liberal Arts and Sciences here, I really like the mix of departments in this college over some of the other places I had looked and had offers from.
Q: What are your immediate plans for the college?
A: The immediate plans for this year is to take the college through a planning process. It will be a strategic
planning process and what I'm going to do is visit all of the units in the college, meet with the faculty and meet with the chairs.
I'm very curious about finding out not as much as where they've been as departments and programs and what their plans are for the future. I will collect all of those.
I'm really interested in promoting collaborations between departments, between the college and other units on campus. I try to think in three to five year terms because things take time to accomplish. So that's the plan.
Q: Is differential tuition on your agenda for the first year?
A: When I was here interviewing and visiting in December and January, this issue was on everyone's mind.
The college, I believe two years ago, went through this process and it was not approved by the students, it wasn't adopted. It's been adopted in every other school. There's a lot of people here that believe we should study it. What I need to do is take, during the same fact-finding for this year, find out if there is enough support for this kind of idea to be explored again.
Q:Do you think that the fact that tuition has been raised for the past four years, it will continue to hurt getting differential tuition passed
if that's what you decide to do?
A: Planning is important. I understand why this is important for parents because they tend to anticipate how much it will cost. As a tuition paying parent myself, I absolutely agree that I'd rather know what tuition is going to be. I don't know.
Q: Are you a basketball fan?
A: A big one, I came from Indiana.
Q: Would you consider yourself fortunate to move from one basketball school to another?
A: Absolutely, I think at this point especially because KU has a good team. IU has changed coaches as you know with Kelvin Sampson coming from the Big 12 to IU. There are a lot of question marks about that team. There's less question marks about this one. I'm really looking forward to it.
I'm a big football fan too. And there, this will be a big difference because Indiana struggled for years and years in football. It was really hard for Indiana to compete in the Big 10 so this will be a welcome change. I would welcome a .500 team.

MONEY
Beak'Em Bucks adds vendors
BY DANI HURST
The Beak 'Em Bucks program at the University of Kansas is looking a whole lot more rewarding this year.
Beak 'Em Bucks is the name of the account that is linked directly to a student's KUID card that can be used to pay for items and services both on and off campus. Money can be added to this account, at any time, via three methods: depositing money online, adding money into your optional campus fees or using a cash-to-card machine. The three cash-to-card machines on campus are located at Anschutz Library, which is adjacent to Budig Hall, on level three by the reference desk, the Kansas Union, on level four outside of the KU Card Center, and at Watson Library, on level three by the circulation desk.
The big changes made for this year were the implementation of a new rewards program, dubbed Beak
'Em Bucks Rewards, the addition of more off-campus merchants and the creation of a Beak 'Em Bucks Web site, www.beakbucks.com.
Matthew Bogner, a Beak 'Em Bucks representative from SA Cash, a college marketing company, said that the goal of the program was "to give students more options," both for on- and off-campus spending. Bogner also said it was a way to help merchants gain access to money that was — when Beak 'Em Bucks was exclusively for on-campus spending — once completely cut off to them.
Off-campus locations are not new this year, but the number has increased to more than 20 vendors. Miles said that the addition of off-campus vendors last year came as a direct request from students. She said the KU Card Center had done a survey more than a year ago asking if off-campus Beak 'Em Bucks
would be a good idea, and that the response was positive.
With each purchase, students accumulated rewards points, which would be redeemable for prizes. The number of rewards points awarded depended on the amount spent and at which vendor, but the range was anywhere from 10 to 30 points per dollar spent, Bogner said. A student could check on the Web site to see how many points had been earned so far and eventually pick a prize once a rewards-point goal was met. Bogner also said that throughout the year there would be special promotions and discounts associated with the program.
With the rewards program in place and with more vendors, Bogner said he anticipated a positive response.
"We have really high expectations," Bogner said. "We expect everyone in the area to be happy with it."
According to Nancy Miles, KU Card Program Director, the best part of the Beak 'Em Bucks program in general was the "convenience factor" it offered students. Every student already had a KUID card, she said, so if a student had money on the account, it was always with them to use at their discretion.
Nandini Mehta, India junior, said that she'd only used her Beak 'Em Bucks a few times because she didn't know much about the program and because she always had a credit card with her, so she never felt the need. She did say she'd use it on campus before to buy food because "it cuts the line short," but said that now she knew more about the program and would "definitely" use it more often off campus.

RA's offer guidance to other students
BY DANI HURST
Believe it or not, resident assistants have feelings, too.
It's true. It may seem obvious that RAs affect the students who live in their hall, but it goes both ways. It's easy to forget that RAs are students, also.
A week before other students set foot on campus for the fall semester, about 130 select students make their ways to their corresponding residence halls for training. All the residence halls on campus, including Jawhaker Towers, employ RAs.
According to Jennifer Wamelink, interim associate director for residence life, the training occurs every summer and focuses on building a community feeling with residents, understanding diversity, knowing campus resources and emergency procedures, as well as building communication skills.
Arnold Phomnavong, Springdale, Ark., junior, said being an RA was all about balance. He was an RA in Ellsworth Hall, and said it was difficult because he wanted to be friends with his residents, but there was also a line that he and his residents never crossed. He said an RA can only put out so much, but without respect from the residents then the RA doesn't get as much back.
"My residents respected me," Phommavong said, "and so I respected them."
"All I know is I put myself out there," he said. "It may not be some life-changing thing, but I feel like I did grow and help students."
Katie DiPasquale, Milwaukee,
Wis., sophomore, said her RA in
McCollum Hall was nice, but that she had no influence on her residents.
"No one really respected my RA," DiPasquale said, "but I didn't expect an RA to have a lot of influence, anyway."
Gena Milburn, Derby graduate student, was an RA at Naismith Hall for a year. Milburn said she had good and bad experiences there, but one of the most difficult things she encountered was asserting authority on students who were not much younger than herself.
Milburn said upholding rules was difficult because if a student got angry, she still had to live with them.
"It's hard to come down on people because they can make your life hard for the rest of the year," Milburn said. "It puts a lot of pressure on us to uphold the rules."
The duties of an RA include not only rule enforcement during the year, but also facilitating move-outs. "Move-out week was the worst week of my life," said Stephen Eidelman, Brooklyn junior, and RA for Naismith.
According to Eidelman, a lot of the residents didn't checkout properly despite the $200 fine for improper checkouts. Eidelman said he found a lot of inappropriate materials, such as bongs, pornographic photographs and broken beer bottles.
Eidelman also said he discovered a lot of broken hall property, such as mirrors, sinks, beds and drawers, which makes the RA's job much more difficult.

RELIGION
Religious groups unite
Groups come together to provide services for students
BY DANI HURST
What unites us is stronger than our differences, said Michael Bretches, Hutchinson senior and president of the University Christian Fellowship, a religious organization on campus. He said he thought it was great when religious organizations worked with each other to bring students together.
Religious organizations on and around campus are making a conscious effort to plan events together that cater to more than one audience. They will still have programs aimed at their constituency, but involving different religious groups has recently become a higher priority.
Bretches said that when more groups are involved in a program or project, more people attend or show
up to help out.
"It helps you build your own faith
uite a bit," Bretches said.
KU Religious Advisors is a group on campus comprised of religious professionals from all around the city who educate students, faculty and staff about the specifics of the religion they represent.
Conversations between religious groups is important because it broadens students' perspectives and helps them to overlook stereotypes, Sean Heston, president of KURA and campus director for the University Church of the Nazarene, said. There are a lot of images in the media that
portray certain groups in a negative light, he said, and this type of communication and education will hopefully give people a different perspective when meeting new people from diverse backgrounds.
Liz Cohen, Lewood senior and student president of KU Hillel, said she thought the interfaith interaction was great because it gave students both a lesson in diversity as well as their own religion.
"It's important for people to learn about other religions," Cohen said, "because it helps you understand your own religion."
KU Hillel is a University Jewish organization located at 940 Mississippi St.
The Rev. Thad Holcombe, campus minister for the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.,
agreed that interaction between the different religions and cultures would harbor better understanding, which
was important in helping students prepare for the world outside the University.
The real world doesn't consist of just one type of person, Jay Lewis, KURA secretary and executive director of KU Hilnel, said. It's al-
the same goal," Lewis said. "I think we're modeling for students what interfaith relationships are like."
"It's important for people to learn about other religions because it helps you understand your own religion."
ways better when "we can find stuff that unites us instead of divides us."
He said that might sound comy, but it was true nonetheless.
LIZ COHEN KU Hillel president
"So many of us are working toward
An example of a program that is co-sponsored by different religious groups is "Human Sexuality in Everyday Life," a non-credit 10-week seminar led by Professor Ementius Dennis Dailey at the ECM. The seminar includes discussions about sexual development and how current behavior reflects that development, and is open to both students and non-students.
According to the ECM Web site,
the sponsors of this seminar include the ECML Lutheran Campus Ministry, KU Hillel, First Presbyterian College Ministry and United Methodist Campus Ministry.
"We all have the gift of sexuality," said the Rev. Holcombe. "It's there to be explored. We want to ask the question 'What does it mean to be a man or woman in this society?"
The Rev. Holcombe said that everyone, regardless of religious affiliation, deserves a chance to understand their sexual nature. He said this is why all the religious group sponsor the class together.

STUDENT LIFE
—Edited by Adrienne Bommarito
New school year brings new challenges for students
BY ADRIENNE BOMMARITO
The beginning of a new school year means new classifications. The juniors are now seniors, preparing to graduate. The sophomores are now juniors trying to buckle down and graduate in a year. The freshmen are now sophomores trying to choose a major. And the incoming freshmen are starting an entirely new aspect of their lives.
With all these changes come transitions, such as taking harder classes
and making challenging choices.
Moving out of your parents' house and leaving your hometown and high school friends is a hard transition, as is starting a new school where the choices you make greatly affect your life and future. However, there are ways to make the transition into freshman year easier, and things to focus on to have a successful college career.
Tricia Shaw, Olivet, Mich., freshman, said she planned on becoming
involved with activities outside of school to help her through college. Shaw plans on graduating in the five-year Architecture program and is adamant about making sure she graduates at the end of five years.
"If I get involved more in stuff," she said, "I can find people who can help."
Another incoming freshman said graduating in four years was not on her top priority list. Betsy Beymer, Lakin, pre-nursing student, said she
wants to study abroad, so she had let go of the idea of a four-year graduation date.
Beymer, along with Shaw, attended KU's Freshman Summer Institute, a four-week program designed to give incoming freshman an early start in college to help familiarize them with the University.
Both girls said the institute made their freshman jitters go away because they became more comfortable with the campus
and met friends through the program.
"Through FSI I met a lot of connections to get into the nursing program," Beymer said. "Which gave me a head start."
Sophomore year is the time to start choosing a major. A good way to decide on an area of study is by taking classes in an array of schools to familiarize yourself with what the University has to offer.
Eric Olivas, Parsons sophomore, has been doing just that.
Olivas hasn't completely decided on a major, but is looking at accounting. He said if he decided to continue studying accounting, he would apply to the School of Business soon. To ensure he was ready for the application process, he said he had been getting all his

New director says success comes from student input
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
Jannette J. O'Toole-Curan is the new director of KU Programs and assistant director of KU Memorial Unions.
One of her primary responsibilities is overseeing Student Union Activities, an organization that plans events for KU students.
She stepped onto her seventh college campus when she was hired, spending time at the other six as either a student or employee. Those stops include Pittsburgh State, Emporia State, Tulsa, Texas A&M, Washburn and UMKC.
Q. Why KU?
A. The position came open and I thought it looked interesting. It's a little different than what I've been involved with in the past.
This position also includes supervising the rec. coordinator and assistant rec. coordinator, which is the Jaybowl and the engraving shop and the student radio station along with the box office and SUA. I thought that would stretch my skills a little bit more and I'd get some facility experience and I know KU is a wonderful University so I took a chance and applied.
Everything else I had done up to that point was really student advising, student focused. I thought this would help me progress, career wise.
Q. Is this the first time on KU's campus for you?
A. No, being from Kansas and living in Topeka, before I moved to Kansas City. I can't say I'm really familiar with KU, but I obviously know a lot about KU since I'm from the state and I was a student here in the spring of 2005. I started my doctorate here and transferred it to UMKC when I started working there, but I'm going to transfer back in the fall and be a student too.
Q. What are your immediate plans for SUA?
A. I don't know if I have any immediate plans right now for SUA. My goal right now is really to learn more about the office and how all of our different areas operate and see how I can help to improve each of the areas.
I know SUA had a really good year last year. They were able to obtain the student activity dollars and use it on large-scale programs with Carlos Mencia, Day on the Hill and those kinds of things. I'm really excited to be a part of that, going into the second year of being able to use the student activity fee for some large-scale events with having Darrell Hammond this fall and Ben Folds. I think that will be really exciting for the campus and for me.
This semester, I'd just really want to learn how the board operates and then what I can do to make things better in the spring and still manage to bring some small- and large-scale events to the campus.
Q. Do you have any future plans for SUA?
A. That's a hard question. I think I would ask that in six months from now. Not that I'm trying to avoid it, but I really want to spend this semester learning about KU and finding out what KU students want and what do they want to see. Which programs would they like to come to campus and then help the board and the program advisors that work with the board, do that.
A small thing in my mind is how do we assess our programs to find out what students like and what they don't like, what do they want to see come and those kinds of things.
Hopefully in six months from now, we can say we want to delve in this area of programming on campus.
Q. How do you plan to go about gauging student interest?
A. Well I think there's some easy things to do and I'm sure SUA, I can't say for sure what SUA is doing because I've only been here two weeks, is what we do at the end of the program to ask them. What kind of evaluations are we doing. Are we handing out a little comment card at programs that are easy to do that.
Some programs it's obviously difficult to get a student to fill out an evaluation because of the nature of the program doesn't lend to doing that.
When we can, are we asking them 'What did you think about this program, how did you find out about it, did you see it on a poster, did you get an e-mail, did you hear from your friends, word of mouth,' those types of thins.
For me it's really interesting to find out how they found out about it, what did they think about it, what would they like us to bring, would they like this to come back and see more of it. Those are some small things.
Another thing that I've seen at other schools is to ask student leaders what programs, what programs are they interested in co-sponsoring. A lot of times, if a student organization has an event that they want to bring to campus and they're seeking co-sponsorship, there's obviously an audience there.
So right now, I think it's important to find out who's our audience for what program's we're hosting.
I don't think that every program SUA puts on will appeal to every KU student, but are we providing a diverse group of programming for student so that students are saying 'there is a program for us that SUA is offering that we can attend.'
Q. Is there anything that you're looking forward to, outside of your job, as a Lawrence resident?
A. I really like Lawrence, I have family that lives here, a nephew that attends KU and a cousin that will play on the baseball team so I'll be looking forward to going to his games and also just seeing my nephew around campus, things like that.
I like Mass. Street. I still get my hair cut there. I think it's a nice livable city and the University complements Lawrence really well.

EDUCATION
No matter where you are in your undergraduate career, here are some tips to a smooth path to graduation.
BY DANI HURST
At the beginning of every school year some students feel perplexed and out of their comfort zone.
A new year is uncharted territory and with it comes new responsibilities, experiences and trials.
Students are often hesitant to ask questions for fear of being looked down upon by their peers.
Have no fear as Kansan reporter Dani Hurst asked 25 KU students what advice they would give a new freshman, sophomore, junior or senior.
The final product: some valuable advice from the people who have been there, done that and moved on.
Freshmen
- Get involved on campus and branch out.
- Don't get too overwhelmed with everything. Ask for help if you need it.
- Don't just stay in your room; get out, be social and meet people.
- Take care of your body so you don't gain the dreaded freshman 15.
- Get used to getting the short end of the stick, at least for this year.
Sophomores
Try taking as many classes as possible that count for more than one major, especially if you aren't sure about your major.
- Don't get too carried away with your newly-acquired social
Explore and utilize campus resources. You're already paying for them.
life.
- Still take classes you enjoy if you have the time, even if they don't count toward a major.
It's definitely not as easy as freshman year. Plan accordingly.
Juniors
- Your class selection is thinning,
so be sure to be on time for your
enrollment appointments.
It's still cool to call SafeRide... when you're legal, that is.
Buckle down; if you study hard this year it should make the rest of your college work load a little easier.
■ If you have chosen a major, make sure it's one you truly enjoy. If it isn't, get out now.
If you haven't decided on a major, get on it.
Seniors
Just because it's your senior year doesn't necessarily mean you are going to graduate.
- Stay motivated, especially at the beginning so that when "senioritis" really kicks in it won't affect your grades as negatively.
- Know how to find good research books in the libraries.
- Look at graduation deadlines early to make sure you meet all the criteria.
It's almost done, so don't get discouraged.

RA (CONTINUED FROM 2C)
"A lot of kids are pretty creative and clever about hiding broken stuff," Eidelman said.
Annie Harrigan, Prairie Village junior, said her RA had a great influence on her and made her feel like anyone could belong.
One duty of an RA is to establish a sense of community with their residents by planning events and programs, and decorating bulletin boards on their floor. They are there for students - especially freshman - for guidance and advice, and to help them assimilate into life at the University of Kansas.
"She made it clear that there was a place at KU for everyone," Harrigan said.
Harrigan RA ar Hashinger Hall was also one reason that Harrigan became a RA. Harrigan said she wanted to have the same kind of positive influence on her residents that her RA had on her.
Matt Brown, Grandforks, N.D., senior, said he became interested in becoming an RA thanks to the extremely positive influence of his former RA.
Antwan Winkfield, Kansas City, Mo., junior, and former RA, said he enjoyed his job at Ellsworth mostly because he liked working with people.
"I'm a big people person,"Winkfield said. "I enjoy helping people whenever I can."

GREEK LIFE
Greek life offers service, community, connections
BY RACHEL PARKER
For students who want to spice up their college experience, the University of Kansas' fraternities and sororities might have a lot to offer.
The University's greek system is more than 130 years old, consists of 40 chapters and more than 3,500 undergraduate students. In fact, 20 to 22 percent of the undergraduate population is greek.
The Greek community strives to promote four basic pillars of values: leadership, academic excellence, community service and brotherhood and sisterhood.
Leadership opportunities are available for students who want to be chapter officials or part of the greek councils. The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life has many positions for students to represent the Greek community.
Academically, greek students maintain a certain GPA set by their chapters. Students who excel can be part of the Order of Omega program, a national Greek honor society that recognizes the nation's top 3 percent.
Each chapter commits to different philanthropies to fulfill community service, where students are involved in raising money for national and local organizations. One of the biggest philanthropies is The House that Greeks Built, an activity where students labor and benefit the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity by building a house. The project that averages nearly $50,000. The Greek system is currently working toward building its fourth house, after finishing its third house in 2003.
Greek students also talk about the life-long friendships they make through their involvement with their brothers and sister because they join chapters based on their own interests, and usually live in a chapter house.
Students involved in greek life participate in different beneficial events and programs throughout the school year including a blood drive, intramural sports, a theatrical Rock Chalk Revue and weekend retreats, such as the Greek Advance. Students in these programs become more involved with their chapters, and they increase their interaction with the University and the rest of the students.
Students are informed about recruitment for fraternities and sororities at freshman orientation. There are three different councils that represent the KU greek system: Interfraternity council (IFC), Panhellenic Council (PHA), and National Pan-Hellenic council (NPHC). These councils hold leadership positions for the Greek students, as well as communicate with the national organizations.
Recruitment is a different process for each of the councils and their chapters. The IPC, which represents 20 campus fraternities, holds a summer formal recruitment for men, and an informal recruitment during the rest of the academic school year.
The PHA, which represents 13 camp sonorites, holds an eight-day recruitment process for women during the first week of school.
The NPHC, which represents seven historic African-American and recently-formed Latino fraternities and sororities, holds an informal recruitment period during the entire academic year for men and women who already have college credit. Informational sessions are also available for interested students at the beginning of the school year.
Men and women interested in learning more about the University's greek system should refer questions to the Office of Fraternity aid Sorority Life.

Williams: Open minds ease transition to college
KU is an atmosphere filled with diverse, friendly and helpful students, teachers and faculty.
I witnessed opportunities that KU has to offer as the student organizations, activities and even resources for helping me succeed academically. Unlike my experience, there are many college experiences that only a female student will experience at KU
BY CARNEZ WILLIAMS
For the most part, the experience fosters equal opportunities in both, yet was significantly different among males and females.
Most female students experience different education opportunities that contribute to their unique outlook on campus life at the University of Kansas.

"What female students can expect at KU is an environment where they're allowed to be women," Alexis Melville, graduate student, said. "Yet there are
This often presents problems for females on campus, even though the college atmosphere is not a place that many feel segregates the sexes.
"Getting lost in the crowd can be a problem, because many still feel it is a man's world, but my co-workers are understanding men who do not look down on me as a woman," Melville said.
In fact, I discovered that gender discrimination often took a back seat when assessing someone based on character.
"When I first came to KU from my country, I noticed that girls here are treated more equal than back home," Sara Bieme, Democratic
Also important to this experience was the equal treatment female students received.

still underlying tones, too, that suggest female students should be something they are not."
For this reason, many female students define their experiences by a certain level of respect and understanding they have received, both in and out of the classroom.
The more female students I talked to, the more I discovered about these underlying tones, which ranged from being expected to be polite in public, to being less opinionated. I also noted that men did not have these same restrictions.

females are not expected to compete with or try harder than males. The opportunities are available to everyone."
This was
also something I saw to be true this summer. As long as students, male or female, were willing to learn and work hard, there was always someone there to help them.
More importantly the experience of a female student promises equal opportunity in an environment where diversity yields individual growth, here at KU.

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, 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 who wrote a paper about the history of The Crossing as a student.
"It's been a watering hole for both students and horses for some

Big Brother's watching you
Campus cameras allow Public Safety Office employees to help ensure students' safety
BY TOM SLAUGHTER
The University of Kansas 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.
"Actually, yeah," she said.
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.
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 about a year, led them to expand upon the concept they were considering.
Two years ago, a car was hijacked 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.
"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.
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.
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 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 into subjects-as opposed to fixed camera. "Pan-zoom-tilt" cameras are more expensive and take a longer time to install.
He said one benefit of the "pan-zoom-
tilt" camera is that students can call the Public Safety 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 sole preventative reason for stopping crime, but he thought that they were a critical component of what goes into keeping students safe.
"Security is not a one-approach fix," he said.
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 Public Safety Office received "extremely positive feedback" from female students in particular, Oliver said.
"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, respectively.
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.

EDUCATION
HIT THE BOOKS
Late-night cram locations exist on and off campus
The image shows three empty desks arranged in a row, each desk scattered with papers and glasses. The background is blurry, likely indicating an indoor setting.
Students cram for finals in Anschutz Library. Students looking for a quiet place to study can always count on the library. "You can go to every table on every floor and it's almost completely silent," Greg Albrecht, Anschutz Library assistant, said.
BY ALISSA BAUER
Every once in a while in the life of us college students, we are forced to focus solely on the nuisance otherwise known as school.
Study.
Skipping class and sleeping in just aren't an option some days, and when that's the case students are generally prompted to do something that ranks even lower than the actual class itself.
Not to worry, however, life as a slacker can continue soon, but first you should hit a couple of hot spots, kid-tested and professor-approved, to spend those nights when studying cannot be avoided.

Anschutz Library, adjacent to Budig Hall, and The Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St., provide a service
Hansher's said his favorite quiet zone is on the first floor of the library. The only two areas where talking and cell phones are not allowed are the north wing of the first and second floors.
Although only one of anshutz Library's four floors is open all night, every night, the
"It's like walking into a dungeon," Scott Hansher Wilmaukee senior said of the quiet zones in Anschutz. "If you go to the third level down it's so quiet and you can't hear people talking."
Because of the security and extra staff required to keep the entire library open all night, assistant Greg Albrecht said it would be impossible for all four floors to be open 24 hours. They are, however, open until midnight, except for during finals and midterm week when all four floors are open all night.
"It is amazing. You can go to

third floor provides a lot of space, including meeting tables. Patrons often don't have to tote their own computers with them.
every table on every floor and it's almost completely silent," Albrecht said of the library during the week of finals.
Break is another student favorite. The 24-hour coffee shop on Seventh and New Hampshire streets is not at a centralized location like
the library, but is a more laid-back way to get some work done.
While Anschutz has a snack stand that serves coffee from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and again from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Java Break serves its famous coffee creations at all hours, every single day.
Even more important than the coffee, but not as tasty, is the wireless Internet it offers its coffee-buying customers. It's free for
anyone who purchases a cup of steamy or iced goodness.
Albrecht said that even libraries were going digital and that the computers on the main floor were the biggest draw for library visitors. Java Break offers just two community computers for use, but the booths, couches and chairs in various little rooms throughout the shop offer an intimate and comfortable homework and social setting.
"I like the coffee, it's open all night and it's a change of scenery," Hansher said. "Friends will meet me there, too. We can sit there and talk for an hour and then go back to studying."
Both Lawrence and the campus itself offer many more studying nooks and it's important that each student finds a study location and method that works the best for them.
When it's late and all else fails,
the library remains the tried and true classic study spot.
Kansan senior staff member Alissa Bauer can be reached at abauer@ kansan.com
"It says 'I'm doing something more important than you right now," Hansher said. "When you say you're going to the library people are like 'Oh sorry! I'll talk to you later.'"

DIVERSITY
9C
Campus organizations welcome students
BY PATRICK ROSS
Diversity is more than just a word at the University of Kansas, it's a way of life. The University has a diverse student population numbering more than 29,000 people from various races, sexual orientations, geographic locations and ideological beliefs — just to name a few.
"We celebrate diversity in many things, including different body able status, different socio-economic status and religion or the lack thereof", said Reuben Perez, director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center — the hub for student groups on campus.
There are more than 500 registered student groups at the University. Thirty-six of these, according to the University's diversity Web site, are considered cultural or ethnic groups.

Perez said it was sometimes too convenient to fall back on defining diversity solely as ethnicity or race. Every student is unique and contributes to the diversity present at the University, he said.

Queers & Allies exists to provide

Williams: College experience is what you make of it
BY CARNEZ WILLIAMS
Participating in the 2006 Freshman Summer Institute from June 6 to 30 was a great first experience for me as a freshman coming to the University of Kansas. At first, like most freshmen, I was overwhelmed by uncertainty and fear. Although this is a fairly common feeling, it can still be hard to overcome. That was definitely the case for me.
Aul of my fears became more intense the closer I got to KU and farther away from everything familiar. These fears soon left me, though, as my family and I reached KU to begin orientation. As we entered the
Kansas Union for registration I immediately decided that this would be a great place for me to call home for the next four years. Not only were the staff and administration genuinely caring and helpful, but the students and professors that I met were phenomenal, as well. Everyone that I have met at KU this summer has contributed to my growth and development as a more well-rounded and diverse individual.
One of the first lessons I learned here came from living in a residence hall. I often wondered what residence hall life would be like, but nothing could have prepared me for the experience of this summer.
As I pulled up to Lewis Hall on move-in day, I saw people from all walks of life. Being somewhat close-minded at the beginning, I immediately picked out people I thought I would associate best with based on appearance. My error became evident, though, as those people I had prejudged began to impact me in positive and remarkable ways.
As a result, I did things I never would have done on my own. I attended rock 'n' roll concerts at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., went rock climbing and sang karaoke in front of a crowded room. Ultimately, residence hall life proved to be a great way to meet a variety of
people while at the same time learning about myself. The more types of people I hung out with the more insight I gained on how to make the most of my college experience.
This experience meant taking advantage of all that KU had to offer, while striving for excellence in my classes.
I learned about wise time-management, leaving time for both work and fun. With some influence from my buddies from the institute, the word fun took on a whole new meaning for me. I began seizing new opportunities, trying new things and taking advantage of what the University had to offer.
My advice to incoming freshmen is to get with a group of people and just get lost. Walk around on Massachusetts Street, explore the museums on campus, sample the restaurants in the Union, go to a sports game, watch a movie on Campanile hill or just take the time to introduce yourself to some new people.
As I discovered, there is so much to do that it might seem overwhelming at first, but just remember that college is about the experience you gain inside of the classroom as well as outside.
So get out there, see some new things and make some memories. This summer, was such a great opportunity for me to do just that, while getting a head start toward achieving my academic goals. Although it was fun, I had to remember that education was my number one priority.
My first experience as a college student at KU was definitely a positive one.
For my fellow freshmen, in order for you to have the same positive experience I advise you to remember this one thing: Your college experience is what you make of it, so make it what you want.

ADMINISTRATION
Provost wants wider recognition for University
BY ADRIENNE BOMMARITO
Interview with Provost Richard Lariviere
Q: Can you describe what your job is at KU and what it means to you?
Provost Richard Lariviere speaks during a press conference last spring announcing his replacement of David Schulenberger.
KUY
A: My job at KU is the chief operating and chief academic officer. That means I'm responsible for academic issues and also getting the sidewalk shovelled.
Q: What is the hardest part about your job?
A: The hardest part is making decisions where with someone's interest is going to suffer either spending money on program A or program B or making decisions about hiring, promotion and tenure.
That sort of thing where you have to decide someone's not right for the job. That's pretty hard, although truth of the matter is the worst is to put them into a job at which they are ill-suited. And if you do that everyone's going to be unhappy.
Q: If you had just one goal for the University, what
would you want to accomplish here?
A: The advice I would give is for them to take themselves seriously and I would dearly love to figure out a way to impress upon students the uniqueness of this opportunity.
A: It would probably be to get both the community and the world at large recognized how good of a place this is. I think much of the world doesn't recognize that and I think there are a lot of people on campus who don't understand what a good place this is. Students, faculty as well.
It makes no difference what you choose to do, you will never ever have this opportunity again, never ever.
Q: What advice would you give to incoming students to ensure they succeed at KU?
You have the whole world at your feet here, the world's leading experts in any field you can imagine, just about, pleading with you to come share their excitement about what they do with them and you will never get the chance to do that again. I can't do that. I don't get the
chance to do that. Even though I'm here on campus 80 hours a week, I just don't have time to go to the classes. I wish I could do it all over again.
Kansan file photo
Q: How is Kansas different than the University of Texas?
A: Smaller, it's a little more than half the size of the University of Texas, but in many ways the city of Lawrence reminds me of Austin when we first went there in 1982. It has the same feel about it and the same sense of community, uniqueness of the state.
community, unlike the
The University of Kansas is different than the University of Texas because in the last few years the University of Texas have begun to understand its role nationally and internationally a little better than the generally t.e. community at U of K does.
There are not many institutions like Texas, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, and the rest of the world understands that better than we do.
There is a pretty long line of people who would like to be admitted to these universities outside of the United States and it's not because they like the color of leaves on the trees or the football traditions.
"You have the whole world at your feet here, the world's leading experts in any field you can imagine, just pleading with you to come share their excitement about what they do with them and you will never get the chance to do that again." Provost Richard Lariviere
It's the superb education they get here. Really superb, but parallel to the world and we just take that for granted most of the time. You do, I do, we all do, because we've grown up with it and we don't realize how unusual it is.
Q: What is the most fulfilling part of your job?
A: When I'm asked to make some arrangement or solve some problem and when we get it done and it clearly makes people's lives better.
Q: What would you consider your greatest accomplish-
ment here so far?
A: My greatest accomplishment thus far is that I'm on a first name basis with the maitre d' at Teller's and I know virtually all the staff at the Eldridge Hotel and I can give really good directions to WheatFields.
Q:What about KU did you like that made you consider taking the position?
A: That's pretty easy. It was the people here.
KU has a reputation for being a fine university, but when I came here and met the people and saw the sense of collegiality among the deans and the good
humor and ease among the faculty and staff that I met and just the friendliness of this community it was really very welcoming and encouraging."
A: The beginning of classes when everything gets back in full operating mode. I like the energy and the bustle and the dynamism of people going to classes.
Q: What are you most looking forward to about KU?

ON THE HILL
11C
CROSSING (CONTINUED FROM 6C)
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, Yello Sub and Head Rush currently reside. The plan was submitted by Skyscapes of Lawrence LLC, a development company owned by Pottroff, and Jeff and Kathy Morrow, Yello Sub and Head Rush, 622 W. 12th St., property owners.
Until the plan is passed by the city commission, the immediate future of the businesses at 12th and Indiana streets is unclear.
"I don't know what's going to happen," Dave Boulter, the bar's owner said who was in negotiations with a group to sell the bar before the sale of its property.
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, he said.
If Yello Sub left its current location, it would be the sandwich shop's decision, Bob Jones, Yello
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, that hasn't changed.
When asked if the Morrows and Pottroff were officially partners on the proposal, Jeff Morrow said he and his wife and Pottroff were "co-applications."
Pottroff said he and the Morrows were "business associates."
Terms of association aside, the Morrows and Potroff own the property that occupies the space for the proposed "mixed use" building. The proposal, authored by Incite Design Studio of Lenexa, requires that in addition to The Crossing and Yello Sub, the building behind The Crossing and its parking lot need to be removed. A house behind Yello Sub would also have to be leveled.
"Mixed use" is a zoning term that means the proposed structure 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 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, 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 proposal has been submitted, but before this plan could come to fruition, several things must happen with the city.
The plan indicated 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 first step in the approval process starts with the planning office. They would make a recommendation — it does not approve or deny a proposal — to the planning commission who would then decide whether or not to approve the proposal.
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 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.
The approval process takes time. Michelle Leininger, an area/ neighborhood planner with the Lawrence/Douglas County planning office, said that proposals often change before they're approved.
Brian Foxworthy, an architect with Incite Design Studio, the firm that submitted the proposal, confirmed that it will take time.
"The project will unfold in the coming months," he said.
Mike Goans, chairman of the Lawrence Board of Zoning Appeals, said it's a slow process.
"It may take six months," he
If approved by the Historic Resources Commission, then the plan would go through the normal approval process.
"People are going to walk by and talk about what happened. They're going to say,'The Crossing used to be here.'"
six months," he said.
AARON BLAIR Leavenworth senior, manager at The Crossing
Holly Krebs, chairwoman of the planning commission agreed with the six-month estimate.
"It may be a long time before there's any construction," she said.
With the future of The Crossing in doubt, in doubt also are the memories that could have been created there.
Boulter isn't concerned about
the legacy of The Crossing. He described Pottroff as the atypical developer because he's not a "bottom line" guy. He looks beyond the numbers, Boulter said.
"I think he'll do what's practical from a real estate point of view, but find a way to do something from a sentimental point of view," he said.

CROSSING (CONTINUED FROM 6C)
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, Yello Sub and Head Rush currently reside. The plan was submitted by Skyscapes of Lawrence LLC, a development company owned by Pottrott, and Jeff and Kathy Morrow, Yello Sub and Head Rush, 622 W. 12th St., property owners.
Until the plan is passed by the city commission, the immediate future of the businesses at 12th and Indiana streets is unclear.
"I don't know what's going to happen," Dave Boulter, the bar's owner said who was in negotiations with a group to sell the bar before the sale of its property.
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, he said.
If Yello Sub left its current location, it would be the sandwich shop's decision, Bob Jones, Yello
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, that hasn't changed.
When asked if the Mortrows and Pottrott 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."
Terms of association aside, the Morrows and Pottroff own the property that occupies the space for the proposed "mixed use" building. The proposal, authored by Incite Design Studio of Lenexa, requires that in addition to The Crossing and Yello Sub, the building behind The Crossing and its parking lot need to be removed. A house behind Yello Sub would also have to be leveled.
"Mixed use" is a zoning term that means the proposed structure 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 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, 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 indicated 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 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. They would make a recommendation — it does not approve or deny a proposal — to the planning commission who would then decide whether or not to approve the proposal.
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 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.
The approval process takes time. Michelle Leininger, an area/ neighborhood planner with the Lawrence/Douglas County planning office, said that proposals often change before they're approved.
Brian Foxworthy, an architect with Incite Design Studio, the firm that submitted the proposal, confirmed that it will take time.
"The project will unfold in the coming months," he said.
Mike Goans, chairman of the Lawrence Board of Zoning Appeals, said it's a slow process.
"It may take six months," he.
If approved by the Historic Resources Commission, then the plan would go through the normal approval process.
"People are going to walk by and talk about what happened. They're going to say, 'The Crossing used to be here.'"
six months," he said.
AARON BLAIR
Leavenworth senior,
manager at The Crossing
Holly Krebs, chairwoman of the planning commission agreed with the six-month estimate.
"It may be a long time before there's any construction," she said.
Boulter isn't concerned about

the legacy of The Crossing. He described Pottroff as the atypical developer because he's not a "bottom line" he. He looks beyond the numbers, Boulter said.
"I think he'll do what's practical from a real estate point of view, but find a way to do something from a sentimental point of view," he said.
Bouter said he thought it would work out for everyone and people would be pleased with the way it turned out.
Aaron Blair, Leavenworth senior, who is the manager and has bartended at The Crossing for the past three years, said it's a tradition thing. He imagined visiting The Crossing when he returned to campus for a football game or to see friends.

TRANSPORTATION
Buses slated for improvements
Study addresses cleanliness, pollution, accessibility and routing complaints
Kansan file photo
Using public transportation, such as the bus system at KU is a great alternative to your own set of wheels. You can buy a bus pass for either a semester or year or pay the $1 fee whenever you decide to take it.

BY TOM SLAUGHTER
The University of Kansas, in conjunction with the city of Lawrence, has hired a consulting firm to analyze and improve the city's two major bus outlets, KU on Wheels and the Lawrence Transit System.
Daniel K. Boyle, president of Dan Boyle & Associates, played host to the first of five public meetings at City Hall and a meeting at the Kansas Union in June to get a feel for how both the city and those affiliated with the University - students and faculty thought the two systems could be improved.
Peg Livingood, project manager in the department of Design & Construction Management, said that Boyle will be back in September to continue with the study. By then, she said, the University should have a better idea of the kinds of changes that can be made to KU on Wheels.
After the study is completed, the project will go through two phases, Boyle said at the meetings. The first will be the "standard transit project," intended to make the overall transit situation in the city better. The second phase will see if it would be
possible to intertwine both systems to function as one unit.
Boyle said that he was trying to gain a sense of what the most important issues were regarding both systems, but he couldn't yet tell if the public wanted to

A lack of later running times was just one of the complaints expressed at the meetings. Others included routing, accessibility for those with disabilities, timing for transfers, uncleanliness and both environmental and noise pollution.
Lawrence Settles, Shawnee senior, who attended the meeting at City Hall, said he was happy that people were trying to improve the bus systems.
"I'm an advocate for public transportation," he said.
Boyle's firm specializes in public transportation, and has completed studies in other college towns. He did one study at the University of Nevada at Reno, and will be conducting another that will serve six universities in Greensboro, N.C. The study began last week and is scheduled to end in November.
Boyle will return to Lawrence.

Hungry?
Get your eat-on at these on-campus locations
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
With the reopening of Hashinger Hall, students who live on Daisy Hill will have more options of places to eat on campus.
Mrs. E's, located in Lewis Hall, remains the main cafeteria for students living on Daisy Hill, but Hashinger's second floor will house The Studio, a new dining area with Brella's sandwiches, Hot Stuff Pizza, a grill, Pulse coffee house and Freshens Smoothies.
Students who live in Oliver Hall have their own cafeteria as well as the Ozone, a dining area that offers Hot Stuff Pizza and Summit Subs.
BEST BUFFETS
Kansan file photo
(right) A sandwich from Brolla's is a healthy meal available at the Market and the Underground.
GSP-Corbin residents may use any of these facilities, but have a cafeteria available on-site.
KU Cuisine meal plans are accepted at all locations, as well as cash. The cash rates for a cafeteria meal are currently $6.50 for breakfast, $7.50 for lunch and $9 for dinner, according to data provided by Karen Feltner, Dining Access Coordinator.
Available meal plans differ with the student's status at the University. Residents in the Jayhawk Towers can purchase the smallest meal plan: three meals a week and $500 in KU Cuisine Cash.
The cash can be used at any of the on-campus food shops, including the Underground in Wescoe Hall and the Market in the Kansas Union.
Hashinger's second floor will house The Studio, a new dining service area with Brella's sandwiches, Hot Stuff Pizza, a grill, Pulse coffee and Freshens Smoothies.
Upperclassmen in the residence halls can purchase six meals a week, with $400 in Cuisine Cash.
Freshmen are more limited in their options, having the option to purchase nine, 12 or 15 meals per week.
the MARKET AT THE MARKET UNION
Kansan senior staff member Michael Phillips can be reached at mphillips@ kansan.com
The most expensive is the 15 meals per week plan, which costs $3,100 per year. It also comes with $100 in Cuisine Cash. The 12-meal-per-week plan costs $2,750 and comes with $200 in Cuisine Cash. For freshmen who don't plan on eating every meal in the halls, a nine-meal-a-week plan is offered for $2,414 and comes with $300 in Cuisine Cash.
The Market at the Kansas Union is undergoing renovations to offer new food options to satisfy every student's appetite.

INTRAMURALS
Grab your friends
Forget high school glory days — become an intramurals legend
Playoffs Flag football. It was fourth down and goal. O'Shea's team was down five.
Ryan O'Shea remembers his most amazing infrastrual memory.
"Our QB did a rollout," O'Shea said. "We had been stopped three times. He threw it up, it bobbled off a defender, but we caught it and we won. It was amazing. We won our first play-off game on fourth-down and goal as time expired."
O'Shea, Chesterfield, Mo., senior, is no stranger to intramural sports at the University of Kansas. He's done six. Everything from floor hockey to raucquetball. He even tried to set up his own wiffleball league, but didn't have the time to commit to it.
"The director made it seem if I wanted to," O'Shea said of starting a league. "There would have been no problem."
The University's Recreation Services offers intramural sports in the fall, spring and summer for any student willing to participate. There are leagues and tournaments in traditional sports, such as basketball and flag football. There's also nine-ball pool and a Texas Hold'Em tournament in the spring.
O'Shea said intramurals gave him a break from college routines. It also helped him keep his competitive edge.
Without the organization and official rules, it wouldn't be possible to participate in sports competitively in a scheduled manner, O'Shea said.
Sports are scheduled throughout the year, and it's the students' responsibility to know when the sports are coming up. Recreation Services posts information about intramurals on its Web site, www.recreation.ku.edu and at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center.
Recreation Services has informational meetings for each sport where the student can find out about the sport and sign up. All intrumarals are free. Then, other team members can sign up online. Making the meeting is key to getting a team or sport set up. If you don't attend, you don't play.
All leagues end with playoffs and every team competes. Regardless of the team's regular season record, each team gets an opportunity to win a coveted IM Champion T-shirt.
There are also tournaments, including the ever-popular massive pre-holiday basketball tournament that attracts hundreds of KU ballers.
With all the different sports, there's a way for everyone to get a chance to make a memory like O'Shea's. But, as O'Shea knows, you have to go to the meetings.
"Jot down the dates," he said of the meetings. "You'll be glad you did."

Some regard the summer Veggie Lunch as one of the University of Kansas' summer secrets while others just consider it a tasty lunch.
Veggie Lunch at the Eucalemian Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., doesn't just end when the spring semester ends but continues to serve throughout the summer semester.
ceipting everyone for who they are and learning from each other.
And the diverse groups of people that Veggie Lunch attracts are what some people like the most.
Veggie Lunch offers vegetarian food cooked by volunteers and donated bread from both WheatFields Bakery and Cafe, 904 Vermont St., and Great Harvest Bread Co., 807 Vermont St. Veggie Lunch requests donations, any amount that a guest can afford to give, which helps cover the cost of the food.
This has nothing to do with just one culture or religion, Holcombe said. He said sitting around a table is important to many people because it's about ac-
"It gives you an opportunity to learn about different cultures," Parrott said. "It's kind of a perspective-broadening experience."
Sarah Dees, Lawrence senior and former coordinator for Veggie Lunch,
Gideon VanRiette, Iola senior and administrative coordinator of Veggie Lunch, said he's been coming every week for a few years, and said that the different types of people who come are the most interesting part of the whole program. He also said that the heat may keep some people away in the summer, but joked that July would be even hotter inside the ECM.
Some people put in as much as $20, Reverend Thad Holcombe, ECM campus minister, said. Some don't put any in. As long as the program breaks even, it doesn't matter to him.
said that it was a lot more laid back in the summer because there were a lot less people. Dees said she liked the relaxed setting of the summer months, but also enjoyed the excitement of the fall and spring semesters.
Holcombe said that fall and spring Veggie Lunch normally serves about 110 to 130 guests every Thursday afternoon, while the summer lunches, still on Thursdays, only see about 30-40. Holcombe attributes the decrease in numbers to the summer heat and the lack of bodies around campus.
Mike Parrott, Austin graduate student and occasional volunteer cook, said the cooking process could be a "daunting" task, but there were always people to help out. Parrott said he volunteers for many reasons, one of which is because he thinks of it as helping others by putting food back into the community.
Holcombe has been involved with the program since its inception in 1999. Then it was just a small gathering, Holcombe said, but it grew into something bigger.
Students aren't the only ones to attend Veggie Lunch, either. Professors and Lawrence residents are also frequent visitors.
Richard I. lague, Lawrence resident,
also remembered the days when Veggie
Lunch was little more than a few friends eating together. But he still comes every week "like clockwork."
League said he really enjoyed coming and mingling with people of different ages.
"I love it," League said. "Some people call me a kid at heart. I've always been that way."
But overall, League said he just liked the whole experience in general.
"They're a very special group." League said. "They're very warm and friendly."

ADVISING
DENTAL CARE
When students come to the University of Kansas, often having just
left home for the first time, it can be overwhelming to face all the choices that come with enrolling in classes and picking a major.
For that reason, each student is assigned an academic adviser to help stay organized and make decisions.
"When you enter a university it's new terrain, and you need some maps, you need some guides," Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, associate vice provost for Student Success, said.
Nemeth Tuttle oversees the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, which is a part of the office of Student Success. The center, as its name indicates, works with first and second year students at the University.
Students entering programs that are through professional schools, like architecture or engineering, will be assigned an adviser from their school.
Nemeth Tuttle said that it was important for students to know they shouldn't just be going to see their adviser right before they enroll.
She recommends two times per semester at the minimum, although she said that three would be ideal.
During appointments with their adviser, students can ask questions about changing and declaring majors, talk about their academic plan and discuss options on what classes to take.
The advisers have tools, like the major sort card game, that can help students choose a major. In the game, students take cards with different majors on them and quickly sort them into piles of yes, or may be.

Deciding the future Advisers help newcomers settle on major paths
At www.advising.ku.edu students can find help from resources like an advising tutorial, advice on selecting a major and online advising.
Because meeting with an adviser every time they have a question won't always be convenient for students, there are also online resources, career fairs and a majors fair that is typically held in March.
Nemeth Tuttle also recommends talking with faculty members and visiting the department's Web sites of majors that look interesting.
"There's a lot of resources out there," she said.

TRADITION
Five traditions every Jayhawk should know
BY JOSHUA BICKEL
The Jayhawk
A mythical bird that takes its name from the Blue Jay and Sparrow Hawk, the term "Jayhawk" first came into use around 1848.
During the 1850s, the term was used to describe the fighting factions
who sought to make Kansas a free state or a slave state. Even though both sides were initially called "Jayhawkers", the free-states hung onto the name.
By the end of the Civil War, the name "Jayhawk" was a patriotic symbol associated with those who fought to make Kansas a free state.
Slik
The Fight Song
The world-renowned Rock Chalk Chant was even used as a battle cry by troops fighting in the Phillipines, Cuba, China and even Europe during World War I.
The chant also made an appearance at the 1920 Olympic Games in Belgium.
In 1912, George "Dumpy" Bowles wrote the words and music of KU's fight song, "I'm a Jayhawk" for one of his musical shows. By 1920, the song became a favorite among students and in 1926, the KU Glee Club performed the song during its national tour.
The Rock Chalk Chant
His version, "Rah, Rah, Jayhawk" was replaced a year later with "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, KU," in reference to the naturally occurring limestone here in Kansas that resembles chalk.
This chant, declared "the greatest college cheer ever devised" by Teddy Roosevelt evolved from a cheer created by E.H.S. Bailey, a chemistry professor, for the KU Science Club in 1886.
In 1958, the words were revised to include the names of the other Big Eight Conference schools.
During the games, the King of Belgium asked to hear a typical American college yell and the assembled American athletes chose none other than "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk" to perform for His Majesty.
and there's even a hand clap that goes along with it, but just make sure to clap on the right beat.
"I'm a Jayhawk"
Talk about the Sooners
The Cowboys and the Buffs,
Talk about the Tiger and his tail,
Talk about the Wildcats,
and those Cornhuskin' boys,
But I'm the bird to make 'em weep and wall.
CHORUS:
'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay,
3
"Cause I'm a Jay, Jay,
Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
With a sis-boom, hip hoorah.
Got a bill that's big enough To twist the Tiger's tail Husk some corn and listen To the Cornhusker's wail.
'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay,
Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
Riding on a Kansas gale.
The Alma Mater
only the first verse and chorus are sung before games.
Professor George Barlow Penny wrote the words to the Alma Mater in 1891 for the Glee and Mandolin Club to sing while on tour. Borrowing the melody from Cornell University's "Far Above Cayuga's Waters", Penny changed a few words, taught it to the glee club, and everybody's been singing it since. Like the fight song, the student body sings "Crismson and the Blue" before every home football and basketball game, often while holding onto the person next to them and swaying from side to side while singing.
"Crimson and the Blue"
Far above the golden valley Glorious to view, Stands our noble Alma Mater, Towering toward the blue.
CHORUS:
Lift the chorus ever onward,
Crimson and the blue
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater
Hail to old KU.
CHORUS:
There's three verses to the song, but
Far above the distant humming
Kansas Hates Missouri
In 1891, the football teams of University of Kansas and the University of Missouri squared off in downtown Kansas City, Mo., and started what is now the second-oldest rivalry in Division I athletics. This rivalry, unlike most others in collegiate athletics, has historical roots stretching back to the days of "Bleeding Kansas", a proguote to the Civil War where pro-slavery activist
from Missouri and anti-slavery activists from Kansas would attack each other. In 1863, Confederate guerrilla William Quantrill attacked Lawrence and burned most of the city to the ground, further adding to the historical hatred between the two schools. Today, the battleground for this border war has shifted to the football field and the basketball court, and the rivalry is still as deep as ever.
Of the busy town,
Reared against the dome of heaven.
Looks she proudly down.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Greet we then our foster mother,
Noble friend so true,
We will ever sing her praises,
Hail to old KU.

Eight ways to KU calves
BY JULIE JONES
I remember being told at freshman orientation that gym credits weren't a requirement because University of Kansas students walked approximately two miles a day on campus. The result: "KU calves."
Halfway through freshman year I began to doubt this urban legend. If it were true, where were my KU calves? Why did I still gain the freshman 15?
The answer was simple: I wasn't walking even half a mile a day on campus. I was lazy and it had started to show; I was beginning to look like a *oly-poly*. I realized if I wanted those KU calves, I had to earn them.
You can earn them, by changing just a few unhealthy habits. With hectic academic schedules, you have to fit in exercise any way you can.
Here are eight easy ways to earn that gym requirement and those KU calves.
1. Skip the bus
It's so tempting to hop on a bus and get a quick ride down Jayhawk Boulevard, especially with the free Jayhawk Express. Don't do it. Walk to class. Burn some extra calories.
2. Park far away
If you must drive to school, don't waste time driving around looking for the closest parking space. Park at the back of the lots where spaces are always available and start walking. You'll save time, and those of you who illegally park to avoid walking, will save money.
3. Climb those hills
Don't walk over to the Kansas Union from the stadium to take the elevator and avoid that killer hill. Get killer calves instead. KU hills really aren't that bad once you walk them every day and usually they are a time saver.
4. Take the stairs
Climb up to the third floor instead of punching that elevator button. Every step counts as a calorie burner.
5. Walk to school
If you live close to campus don't get a parking pass, bus pass or ride from your buddy. Leave a few minutes earlier and walk to school.
6. Avoid shortcuts
Take the long way to class. We
have an absolutely beautiful campus. Enjoy it. Your body will thank you.
7. Don't plan your schedule around buildings
When you enroll, don't pick classes because the buildings are closer to one another. If anything, pick classes that are farther away. This way you can have brisk walks between each of your classes.
8. Skip the Pizza Hut
All your hard work won't pay off if you're still eating fast food at the unions or The Underground during your lunch break. You can't see those muscular calves if they're covered in fat. Opt for something healthier with less fat and fewer calories.
If all this walking starts to become dull or monotonous, liven it up by purchasing a pedometer. This helpful little tool counts your steps by sensing body motion. You enter your stride length and it converts that into distance.
A pedometer can also tell you how many calories you've burned and will only set you back about $20.
Now you have no excuses for not having shapely KU calves. Take advantage of our beautiful campus and start walking today.
First last/KANSAN
A student works up stairs on campus. The urban legend that KU doesn't require physical education classes because of the steep walk on campus is only true if students take additional measures.

X DEFENDANT'S SIGNATURE
THINGSTO DO BEFORE LEAVING KU
Attend a KU men's basketball game
For Kansas fairhill, basketball is a religion, and each game is another opportunity to worship crimson and blue. And no section is rowder, more passionate or more loyal than the students section of a home game. Don the KU colors, make your ESPN sign, take advantage of your years with a valid KUID and get out to a game.
Charyne Hayes got a ticket for disturbing the peace after having a few friends over at her apartment last November, the second time the police have come knocking on her door in response to noise complaints. Hayes received a warning the first time. Had she been cited both times, her apartment would have been tagged as a "Disorderly House Nuisance," and she could have been evicted.
Sled down Campanile Hill
Joshun Ricke|KANSAN
Wait for those inevitable mid-January snow or ice storms. If you're lucky enough that the University shuts down and cancels classes, round up your trash can lids, cookie sheets or actual sleds and head for the hills on campus. The Campanile hill or the hill behind JRP are perfect for sledding.
Play in the Chi Omega Fountain
Located at the intersection of West Campus Road and Jayhawk Boulevard, the Chi Omega fountain is the best KU spot to kick off your sandals, roll up your jeans and splash around like you're five years old again. The University keeps the fountain running from April through September, so splash while you can.
Toss goalposts in Potter Lake
It's no mystery that Kansas football is far from successful,
but sometimes it strikes gold and beats a good team. After a victory against a team like Missouri or K-State, students take to the field en masse and rip the goalposts from the ground and haul them to Porter Lake. Just make sure you don't tear them down when the laweyhaws beat a sory team like students did when Kansas beat a 1-5 Colorado team in 2000.
Walk out in the middle of class
Gone are the days of the hall pass; at the University, students are allowed to come and go as they please. Your classmates will watch, remember and perhaps scorn you for at least five minutes. Style points for staring at the professor as you make your hasty exit.
Police crack down on noise
Attend a club sport event
Besides football or basketball games, there are lesser-known gems to watch that are just as much fun. The Kansas Relays or women's soccer are both stellar choices, and another is Fool's Fest. This annual massive ultimate Frisbee tournament at Shenk Complex is a surefire good time.
Arrange a tryst in Watson Library
》 LAW
The cool, secluded aisles of Watson Library make for much more than a great study spot. Whatever the nature of your rendez-vous, remember: Keep as quiet (as possible) in the library.
BY TOM SLAUGHTER
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.
The 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 each 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 cited only 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.
Scott Miller, Lawrence city attorney, said that 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.
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.
"We'd prefer that our neighbors come to us," he said.
Blume said that despite police
telling 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.

DOWNTOWN
Downtown Lawrence offers blend of tradition, shopping
BY NICOLE KELLEY
If you take a stroll down Massachusetts Street, it's not uncommon to run across a large army of interesting activities taking place. From someone playing a saxophone on the corner, to a group of teenagers playing hacky sack on the sidewalk, to a family out and about doing their shopping, the downtown Lawrence area never fails to provide a strong sense of community.
The downtown atmosphere is one of the most unique aspects of Lawrence. The city has preserved this historical area and made it one of the places people take the most pride in and love most about Lawrence. Kelli Martin, Pratt sophomore, said her favorite thing to do downcity is just walk up and down the street with friends after a nice dinner.
Almost anything a person needs could be found downtown, including places to eat and shops and art galleries to see.
"The whole environment is relaxing and everyone's always friendly," she said.
Restaurants
The restaurants that are found downtown range from ethnic Thai and Hispanic foods to good old American barbecue and hamburgers.
Matt Topliskar, KU graduate, said downtown provided a great date atmosphere because of all the restaurants. He suggested getting some dinner and then going to see a movie at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St.
"For me it's really kind of what makes Lawrence special. Otherwise I think Lawrence would be just like a lot of other towns," he said.
A lot of the restaurants that are found downtown are locally owned, which gives the community a special feeling. The city has been able to keep a lot of the big-name commercial businesses out of the area as a way to preserve its remarkable history.
Shopping
Shopping downtown is a big attraction for most people. Whether you're in the market for clothing, andquires, jewelry or books, the stores downtown have it all. One of the qualities that make shopping downtown a fun experience is the open and free environment of each individual store.
"I think they like downtown the most because it's not inside and when it's nice outside they can walk up and down the sidewalk and go from store to store," said
Mindy Burd, employee of Jocke Nich
Sporting Goods, 837 Massachusetts St
On Thursday nights many of the stores stay open later until 8 p.m. Burton said this was nice because it would give families an opportunity to shop together after work.
Culture
The city of Lawrence is known for its relaxed, laid-back artistic attitude. The center of a lot of this activity is the downtown area and its many art galleries.
Shella Wilkins, manager of Fields Gallery, 712 Massachusetts St., said her shop had been a part of the community for more than 40 years. She said a store like her gallery gives local and regional artists a place to display their original artwork.
Four Fridays a year, the downtown area plays hots to a gallery walk. This event is free to the community and allows people to come together and celebrate the arts in Lawrence. About 12 galleries stay open later than normal business hours so participants can walk to each one and see special exhibitions and demonstrations by the local artists.

Finding faith at the top of the hill
KU offers more than 40 options for students to grow spiritually
BY ANNE WELTMER
No matter your religion, probably one of the 42 religious student organizations on the University of Kansas campus would be able to help you grow as a spiritual person.
A religious group can be a way to make friends and a good source of support and escape from daily life and the added peer pressures on campus.
Jenny Wilson, an Alma sophomore who is Roman Catholic, said she thought that attending the University helped her "blossom" as a Catholic.
She said she felt like an outcast in her hometown because it had few
Catholics. When she came to the University, she found support with the 7,000 to 8,000 other Catholic
students on campus, especially those, such as herself, who got involved at the St. Lawrence Catholic Center, 1631 Crescent Rd.
The KU Hillel Foundation, 901 Mississippi St., provides a community for Jewish students
Hille's offers is the nationally-funded Birthright Israel trip, which is a free 10-day trip given to any Jewish
of all backgrounds. Jewish students can participate in both religious and social activities through the organization.
"With meditation I don't have to study nearly as much. I just have to read it once my mind is clear."
One program that highlights
ERIC SCHAUMBERG KU Buddhist Association
student between 18 and 26 years old. Many students enjoy the trip on a historical and religious level, but for some
it's a life-changing experience.
Although Buddhism is an individual spiritual experience, Eric Schaumberg of the KU Buddhist Association said it helped him to
have the support of a group.He said they meet once a week and meditate together and have dharma talks to lift up their minds.
"With meditation I don't have to study nearly as much. I just have to read it once when my mind is clear," Schauberg said.
Many students have found a way to stay spiritual or even become more spiritual while at college.
Like Wilson and Schaumberg many others are able to spiritually blossom during college and use their religion as an escape from school and a source of support.

Driving while talking
Cell phone ban would mean trouble for those who like to multitask
BY TOM SLAUGHTER
Nobody ever call cell phones were cheap. Paying for a phone and the service required to use it is expected, but traffic tickets for using one while driving?
In the coming weeks, city commissioners will consider a controversial traffic safety proposal that would make it illegal to use cell phones while driving, including the use of hands-free devices. If approved, the decision would make Lawrence's the harshest cell phone ban in the nation.
Chris Wolfe, Topeka senior, needed only two words to express his feelings on the matter.
"That's ridiculous." he said.
Wolfe said that he was against a full ban on cell phones, but not necessarily one that banned hands-free devices.
In a 5-4 vote June 5, the city traffic commission narrowly gave its disapproval of the ban. The traffic commission doesn't make decisions for the city; they only act as an advisory board for the city commission.
"I can't be supportive of an all-out ban on cell phones," Jim
"We already have ordinances that regulate inattentive driving which would cover cell phone usage. I would like to hear what the staff's recommendation is for increasing the fines with regard to this situation," Hack said. "But I would not support a total ban on cell phones in Lawrence."
Critics have questioned precisely how a police officer would be expected to notice another driver using a cell phone, particularly at night. Opponents have also claimed that most drivers would probably not nai t attention to the ordinance.
Nathan Cox, Knoxville, Tenn., graduate student, said he would not be opposed to an all-out ban.
"There is something about talking on a cell phone that is more distracting," he said.
Paul Atheley, associate professor of psychology, provided the committee with
"Cell phone usage by a driver presents a hazard that I would not want as a driver in the city of Lawrence."
CAROL JEAN BRUNE Traffic commissioner
Zieglemeyer $J_{n}$, chairman of traffic commission, said.
"I think that the citizens feel strongly that this is a bad ordinance," he said.
Sue Hack, vice mayor, echoed the sentiments of many of the proposal's opponents. She said that the hands-free portion of the ordinance was harsh, and would be difficult to enforce.
Close to a dozen local residents and representatives for Sprint and Cingular Wireless spoke at the meeting, which lasted more than three hours at City Hall. The majority of the speakers expressed disdain for the proposal, citing mostly the same reasons, respectively. They compared using a cell phone to turning the dial on a car radio.
evidence in favor of a ban. He studies cognitive perception and attention at KU.
"The body of research indicates that cell phone use is just as dangerous as driving drunk," Achlev said.
Traffic commissioner Carol
Jean Brune supported the ban.
"Cell phone usage by a driver presents a hazard that I would not want as a driver in the City of Lawrence," Brune said.
According to Robert Hagan, traffic commissioner, no specific fine was proposed for violating the ordinance.
Mike Amyx, mayor, said that the city commission doesn't yet know when they will discuss the ordinance or make a decision.

No need to SCREAM for ice cream Choose from a plethora of ice cream vendors to satisfy all types of midnight munchies
BY MALINDA OBSORNE
On Massachusetts Street, you need not walk more than two blocks to encounter a purveyor of ice cream.
In fact, corporate and local chains fill the city landscape from every corner with each one taking pride in its "super premium" ice cream — whatever that means.
With such an extensive list of ice cream places to choose from, a person can easily get lost among the choices for mix-ins and cones.
Here is a breakdown of what some of the local ice cream parlors bring to the chilled mixing table.
Sylas and Maddy's 1014 Massachusetts St
This locally owned family business appeals to the taste buds and the ears with flavors like Rock Chocolate Jayhawk — chunks of fudge and brownies — or Peanut Butter Freak — Reese's peanut butter cups and chocolate.
Manager Jacob Mitchell also noted the difference between other stores' ice cream and Sylas and Maddy is that their ice cream contains 14 percent cream compared to the normal 10 to 12 percent at other stories, making the ice cream, well, creamier.
The best part, however, is that they deliver. You actually have to order it from Wheat State Pizza, but for $3.99 a pint or $6.99 a quart, you don't even have to move more than a few feet. Truly that is the definition of gluttony.
Coldstone Creamery 647 Massachusetts St.
The 16 flavors offered make decisions on what to order easy at first, but then there are the assorted mix-ins.
If the frenetic mushing and pounding action doesn't mesmerize you, then the singing might. Servers must sing when they receive a tip.
Manager Scott Self said auditions occasionally were held for applicants, just to make sure they could carry a tune.
The best night to stop by? Wednesday, which is College Night where you can buy one and get one free.

To lease or not to lease?
Follow these tips to ensure your leasing adventures are smooth
BY ADRIENNE BOMMARITO
Through the years, problems that existed between landlords and tenants generally could have been avoided if the two parties had had a set understanding with each other.
With the hopes of helping to reduce these problems, here is a compiled list from a variety of sources, including landlords and tenants, giving their advice on keeping a good relationship between you and your landlord.
GUIDELINES
1. Landlords cannot read minds
Whatever you might think, your landlord does not automatically know when there is a problem, whether it be when your air conditioner stops working or your house becomes infested with spiders.
Make sure you call your landlords as soon as the problem arises so they have time to find a solution.
"Most landlords prefer to solve small problems than neglected, un-called in, large problems." Serena Hearn, landlord, Rainbow Works, LLC.
2. Pay rent and utilities on time
Some landlords charge a daily fee for overdue rent payments, just like utility companies charge a late fee for late payments. Also, some landlords request to know when the utility payments are sent in, so they also know if your payment is late. Solution: pay-up and pay on time.
3. Don't wait until Friday
3. Don't wait night to report a problem
If a problem with your house arises on a Friday night, then definitely call your landlord. However, if a problem occurs on a day earlier in the week, it's better to call your landlord then.
4. Have good communication
Simply enough, if your landlord calls you, answer the phone just as you expect your landlord to answer your phone call.
"If there's a problem just ask in a nice way Nobody likes an attitude."
5. Remember your landlord is not out to get you
Trying to find a company for plumbing, electricity or air conditioning and heating that works on the weekends is difficult. So, don't wait.
When a problem occurs in your
"Communicate a problem with rental-house as soon as possible in writing. Don't wait a few days with a dripping faucet until water is spraying everywhere to call in," Hearn said.
RICK KAPPER Landlord
house, don't assume the landlord is intentionally trying to cause a crisis or be mean. Don't take a dilemma in your house as an attack from your landlord.
6. Read the lease rules carefully
The Landlord Tenant Act protects both the landlord
and the tenant, so both parties should be responsive to the regulations.
7. Don't complain about small things that break
Try fixing small problems yourself before calling your landlord. For instance, if your toilet stops working, try plunging it first.
8. Respect the property
Understand that your landlord is the actual owner of the house; you are just a renter. Any damage you cause to the property affects the landlord directly.
9. Say'Thank You'
Referring to both parties, tenants should thank their landlords, and landlords should reward their tenants when the relationship is good.
"If there's a problem, just ask in a nice way. Nobody likes an attitude." Rick Kupper, landlord,
10. Always be honest
If a landlord sets a rule, be honest about it. For instance, if your landlord allows dogs, but charges a fee, don't sneak the dog in. Just inform your landlord that you have a new addition.
11. Give the proper 30-day notice
If you know you are moving out on a certain date, be sure to inform your landlord. It will only make the situation go smoothly for both people. Also, some landlords won't give back the deposit if a 30-day notice isn't given.

NUISANCE (CONTINUED FROM 1D)
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
Miller said that people who are prosecuted for nuisance crimes often feel the penalty is disproportionate to the severity of the crime.
"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.
Hayes did admit that one of the parties at her apartment did get noisy, but she said that the threat of penalties wouldn't scare her from having people over to her apartment again.
So far, students have given mixed responses regarding whether they are going to take the ordinance into consideration when throwing parties.
NICK BLUME Hays junior
"It's definitely going to be my thought to never have a house party again."
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.
"If I want to have a party,
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.
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.

Shopping for collectibles Nine stores in Lawrence sell collectibles and other antiques
BY DANI HURST
She described her style as "more traditional than modern," with a lot of interesting colors and patterns. She said she liked to decorate with the kind of stuff people don't see every day.
Molly Easly used to hate hate antique shopping with her mother when she was a child, but this Lawrence junior grew to love antiques and is now an avid shopper.
"Shopping at the antique mall let's you do that," she said.
When Easly finally moved into a house, she wanted a more unique decorating style, she looked to the antique stores around Lawrence to get the job done.
Lawrence has a good deal of antique dealers peddling everything from old clothes, to old cars, to old Coke Cola bottles. Almost anything that might catch your fancy can be found in one of Lawrence's nine antique stores, be it a genuine antique or just a cool collectible.
Dennis Oakley, owner of Antique Bazaars II, Inc., 840 Massachusetts St., said he considered antique shopping an "educational process."
He said people came in the first time not knowing much about antiques,but the more times they shopped,the more quality items they would start to notice and appreciate.
"That's what it's all about," Oakley said.
An art and jewelry collector himself, Oakley said he'd been in the antique business in Lawrence for about 35 years, but had been collecting since he was a child.
"I've been picking up old stuff since I was 8 years old, I'm 58 now."
He said it was an evolving type of business, with each generation interested in different things. The younger crowds
hed seen in his store lately were usually interested in clothes and jewelry, but when they looked around, they discovered there were other things that interested them, as well.
Larry Billings, coowner of Lawrence
"People collect all kinds of stuff," Billings said.
He said students were usually looking for things to decorate their apartments and dorm rooms, like beer and party signs. However, they also bought gifts for their parents who are collectors. He'd also seen girls in the store looking for jewelry for themselves.
Mary Brewster, Lawrence alumna, is also a collector of first edition books and "anything Kennedy" to add to her collection. But that doesn't mean she's restricted to just those themes.
Not only does she shop for jewelry, but
"I have an obsession with old things. Anything a little quirky or off."
"I have an obsession with old things," Brewster said. "Anything a little quirky or off."

at least since she was in high school, and had done so because she liked "stuff with a story."
Ben Rumback, fellow collector and friend of Brewster's, said he, too, had been collecting since high school, and liked older

things that were rich in character.
Rumback said he liked shopping for old wooden objects, as well as old Batman items, but he also said he liked the cleaning process.
"Anything with layers of old grit to wipe off," he said with a grin. "That's fun."

Leave mom at home stay healthy on your own
BY CATHERINE ODSON
Before long, your college utopia will be interrupted.
It's no surprise. There's a valid relationship between stress and illness, said Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
But have no fear.
Watkins Memorial Health Center
The University of Kansas and the Lawrence community are home to numerous walk-in and family practice clinics to help you get back on campus as quickly as possible.
Watkins Memorial Health Center, the campus health center, is located east of Robinson Center.
Watkins provides reduced price services for KU students, including prepaid office visits for students before 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and before 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. The center is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday and 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Sunday.
In addition to routine exams, Watkins also offers physical therapy, radiology and immunization, allergy and travel clinics and houses an in-house laboratory and pharmacy.
The Student Health Fee paid each semester goes to pay for part of the services Watkins offers.
"Everything we do is targeted towards college students," said Bill Smith, Watkins health educator.
Lawrence Memorial Hospital
First Med is a walk-in and family clinic located at 2323 Ridge Court, one block east of 23rd and Iowa streets. It is open for appointments and walk-ins from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and for walk-ins 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.
First Med
Lawrence Memorial Hospital has the city's 24-hour emergency room. The hospital is located at 325 Maine Street.
Prompt Care
Prompt Care is an urgent care clinic, located at 3511 Clinton Place, which only accepts walk-ins. The clinic is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends.
Requirements
Immunization records, including proof of two MMRs — measles, mumps and rubella — vaccinations and a meningitis vaccination for students living in University housing, are required for students to enroll at the University.
Incoming students can also complete a medical history form before setting foot on campus to speed up their first visit to Watkins. Don't forget to bring a copy of a health insurance card, either your own or your parents'. You'll need it to offset health-care costs.
If you don't have insurance, Watkins offers multiple student health care plans. More information is available on the Watkins Web site, www.studenthealth.ku.edu.

ENTERTAINMENT
Bored of Lawrence? Go to Kansas City
Zona Rosa highlights upscale entertainment, shopping
BY DEJUAN ATWAY
Nestled and tucked quietly in north Kansas City, nearly undetected from anyone outside Platte County, lies the Zona Rosa neighborhood. Zona Rosa offers upscale entertainment, shopping and dining experiences in Kansas City, Mo.
Located at the intersection of I-29 and Barry Road, Zona Rosa is Spanish for pink zone. It is modeled after a suburb in Mexico City, Mexico, which is one of the nation's biggest cultural and commercial tourist destinations.
The name comes from many of the buildings in the Mexico City district that were various shades of pink during Zona Rosa peak in the 1960s.
Not as well known as the other chic Kansas City shopping districts such as the Country Club Plaza, The Legends, Town Center, and Westport, Zona Rosa opened in May 2004. The neighborhood has seen the growth of the area increase every year since its opening.
The 45-minute trip to Zona Rosa from Lawrence will make every KU student contemplate whether it is worth the trip.
The retail venue has 68 retail businesses which include a variety of different stores such as Helzberg Diamonds, Sharper Image, Abercrombie & Fitch to Build-A-Bear and New York Company.
Besides shopping, visitors to Zona Rosa can dine at restaurants, such as the Hereford House, Bo Lings and Mimi's Cafe.
If you get tired from the shopping and eating, visitors can get massages at the Avalon Salon and
Spa.
Patrons can also enjoy a movie or listen to comedians at the The Majestic.
Edward Thomas, Kansas City junior, said that Zona Rosa was one the nicest shopping districts in the Kansas City area.
Zona Rosa presents a nice casual atmosphere. It's a place where you can enjoy the weather and you don't have that enclosed feeling that you have with malls, Thomas said.
Zona Rosa also has residential loft- style apartments that can be rented and has a small children's park in the center of the neighborhood.

Facebook.com has reached a plateau few other Web sites have. It reached the popularity point to where its name has been turned into a pseudo-verb.
It is common to hear students say, "Ler's facebook it."
As last year's seventh most-visited Web site, it serves as a networking, communication and entertainment resource for college, and, most recently, high school students. It has the ability to help students kill hours of boredom. However, it also poses threats to a student's privacy and could bring trouble with the law.
Facebook.com is fun, but there are some precautions to take, as is true with most Web sites.
The only thing a student needs to access facebook.com through the University of Kansas is a valid KU e-mail address. From there they can create a profile. This profile can list everything from their sexual orientation to their birthday to their favorite movies. Not to mention members can have countless pictures of them and their friends in photo albums.
Some students choose to put their address, phone number, class schedule, work place and e-mail address on their profile. The backlash is obvious. Any person with a computer can get a hold of someone at any hour of the day.
Kyle Shook, Coffeyville sophomore, said he did not put his address on his profile in order to avoid solicitors or anyone wanting to play a
prank on him.
"That way no one will come bang on my door," Shook said.
Sarah Hogan, Eagan, Minn,
juniur, has been on facebook.com
for two years. She used to have her
phone number listed on her profile.
One night a random guy called her
One thing to note is that only students from the same school can view each other's profile, unless they are "friends" with someone at another school.
In these cases, the easy way to avoid stalking and to maintain one's privacy is to not include this type of information. This is the same advice students have heard for years. Facebook.com also provides an option to block all non-friends from viewing your profile.
and wanted to meet up with her. She took her phone number off the Web site after the incident. She said women needed to be careful when it came to disclosing information that could draw predators.
However, with facebook.com, there is one more thing to consider. As The University Daily Kansan reported two semesters ago, employers are looking at facebook.com, too. Some employers look at a student's profile to gather information as to what type of person they think the student is. They read the "about me," and other sections to try to determine if the student has a party lifestyle and drinks excessively or uses drugs.
"You don't know what creepy people are looking at your profile," Hogan said.
Shook said if he ever applied for an on-campus job, he would take down all his incriminating photos and anything vulgar in his profile.
It was also reported that police were looking at pictures on facebook, com and searching for underage students who were drinking. They also were reportedly going into the "events" portion of the Web site to look for upcoming parties. From there they would look for minors who had RSVP'd to the party. Then, the police would supposedly go to these parties with heavy underage attendance.
Student athletes also should closely monitor what they include in their profiles. Two semesters ago, the Kansas Athletics Department started looking at its athletes' profiles. Officers looked for anything defaming
toward the athlete or the department. Whether it was a picture of an athlete drinking or negative remarks about a coach or trainer, the department told the athlete to remove it.
Current student athletes advised future athletes to be careful with what they uploaded onto the Web site. Some recommended not joining at all, saying soon they thought the department would not allow athletes to have them.
If you want to join facebook.com at the University, then go for it. However, take precautions in what you put in your profile. You never know who might see it.

Top 10 places to get your grub on in Lawrence
1. All-you-can-eat chips, white cheese dip and frozen margaritas from El Mezcal 1819 W. 23rd St. and 804 Iowa St.
Sometimes all you need for a great meal is a tasty appetizer and a jumbo drink.
At El Mezcal the chips and salsa are complimentary and the white queso dip is a must.
Visit on a Tuesday night for the Mexican restaurant's jumbo margarita special.
2. A 14-inch custom-made pizza slice from Papa Keno's 105 Massachusetts St.
At this downtown pizza joint, one slice can be enough to satisfy.
Papa Keno's is famous for its oversized order-it-how-you-want-it pizza slice, with a choice of more than 30 toppings.
3. Double Johnny Wilson burger from Johnny's
401 N. Second St.
This stacked burger is one reason to brave the not-so-tough crowds and permanent men's-locker-room smell of Johnny's.
It's well known that Johnny's has the best burgers in town, but their fries are woefully underrated.
4. The Yello Sub at Yello Sub 624 W. 12th St. and 1814 W. 23rd St.
Six inches or a foot-long? You decide. Either way the Yello Sub namesake —
ham, roast beef, turkey, swiss, bacon, lettuce, mayo - assembled on made-from-scratch whole-wheat bread will satisfy your grumblings from below.
Yello Sub offers 43 other meat subs and 12 veggie subs. If the great American meal — the submarine sandwich — isn't quite enough, add locally-made Art's and Mary's chips or a fresh, delectable chocolate chip cookie.
5. India Palace lunch buffet 129 E. 10th St.
Try something new, and a lot of it. The weekday lunch buffet at India Palace lets customers try several dishes that are off the beaten Massachusetts Street path.
Arrive hungry; all buffet slayers will get their money's worth.
6. Spinach pie at Mad Greek 907 Massachusetts St.
Don't let the name fool you — this isn't the vegetable you loved to hate in grade school. Mad Greek's spinach pie plate includes two helpings of flaky spinach and cheese-filled phyllo dough pies and a large portion of Greek salad. Creamy cucumber tzatzilki sauce tops this dinner for the perfect taste of Greece.
7. Steak rice bowl at La Parilla 814 Massachusetts St.
The most undiscovered item at this Latin-American cafe is its steak rice bowl. First-timers scoff at the bland-sounding meal, but try it once and you'll be an "I already know what I want" repeat rice-bowl buyer. The bowl's also reasonably healthy, especially if you bail out and go vegetarian.
8. Brunch for a king at Teller's 746 Massachusetts St.
This ritzy downtown eatery offers the best brunch in Lawrence on Sundays from 9 a.m., to 2 p.m.
Arrive early and ready to fill up on fresh raspberries, blueberries, balsamic vinegar salads, Italian and custom-made omelettes, crepes, sausage, bacon, luncheon pastas, chocolate and strawberry turnovers, bread pudding and mini cinnamon rolls.
9. Fish and chips at Free State Brewery 636 Massachusetts St.
636 Massachusetts St.
Who says you can't get good seafood in Kansas? Well, anyone who's tried it. But Free State's fish and chips are the exception to the rule. Don't ask questions, just eat it. It's always good, even if Free State doesn't serve it in the traditional grease-soaked newspaper.
Order a beer to go with your fish and you can't go wrong.
10. Hy-Vee Chinese 4000 W. Sixth St. and 3504 Clinton Parkway
Where else can you get generous portions of two entrees, rice, one egg roll or crab rangoon and a cup of tea for $4.99? Amazingly, this is the best Chinese in town, served in the worst restaurant atmosphere.
》 HOUSING
Subleasing provides quick, easy solution to renting problem
BY ADRIENNE BOMMARITO
When Nick Arthachinda ended his presidential term for his fraternity, Delta Upson, 1025 Emery Road, in December of 2005, he wanted to move out of the house as soon as possible.
But because all of his friends had already signed apartment leases, Arthachinda needed a solution.
He said he got lucky.
He said he goes to He contacted The Legends, 4101 W. 24th Place, to see if they offered six-month leases or subleases.
They did.
They Luck.
The Legends allowed residents to move in on any day throughout the year, depending on vacancy, with no extra cost, said Susan Rinke, property manager for The Legends. All leases ended July 31st.
The trick to the flexible move-in date was subleasing. If apartments had residents that needed out of their leases early, then they had the option of filling out an information sheet describing living styles, which would then be placed in a database.
When prospective residents needed an apartment, the office would search through the database for similarities in information, and then would perform the switch.
Arthachinda found his one-bedroom apartment using this system.
Other apartment complexes offer
similar solutions, such as Hutton Farms, 3401 Hutton Drive, which allows residents to move in at any time, if there are available apartments, and if the quota for that leasing period hasn't been reached.
The quota number is set by the owner and based on the accounting books for the complex, according to Josh Eberline, a member of the management team at Hutton Farms.
"Shorter leases leaves us open in times when people aren't wanting to lease," Eberline said. "That's the reason they have quotas."
Hutton Farms offers three lease-ending dates: July 31, May 31 and December 31.
If the complex knows of an apartment whose residents want to sublease, then the complex will suggest that apartment when prospective residents are interested.
Even though there is a $100 sub-lease fee, Eberline said the process shouldn't cause too much stress because the complex helped find new residents to take over.
"We try to get them as fast as possible," he said. "It is a pain for anyone to have to deal with that."

Stay golden
Keep that summer tan year-round
BY ALISSA BAUER
Tanning's popularity reaches new levels with each passing day.
Girls or guys, student or profession
What has now become a $7 billion industry, the quest to be bronzed and beautiful is a trend that has taken Lawrence by storm.
at the taming craze dips in to a wide variety of demographics proving that spending 15 minutes every few days napping in a canopy bed of lights isn't just a girl thing.
"A lot of businessmen come in to get that more professional look and college guys too, I think, are starting to realize that appearance does matter," said Jenny Peck, Lawrence Celsius Tannery manager.
manager.
Although the primary goal is to obtain the 'Of course I lay around on the beach all day, don't you?' look, others tan simply for the pleasure of feeling the imitation sunlight enveloping their bodies, while some even use the high-watt bulbs to clear up acne.
Maggie McCoy, Winfield senior, said that Body Boutique was her favorite tanning salon.
One of 12 Lawrence tanning salons, Body Boutique houses a wing of tanning beds within its health club and salon, created for women's use only.
"A lot of businessmen come in to get that more professional look and college guys too, I think are starting to realize that appearance does matter."
McCoy liked it for the inexpensive, unlimited package the salon of
JENNY PECK Manager, Celsius Tannery in Lawrence
fered while she was getting ready for a special occasion that she knew would be enhanced by a natural looking tan.
The habit can become quite pricey, especially depending on the tanner's bed of choice.
One session can range to as little as a $4 trip in a level one bed and can get all the way up to a $30 per session in a high
pressure, UVB-blocking bed.
Celsius Tannery, for example, uses Ultra Bronze technology that can block up to 99.7 percent of the UVB exposure, known as the burning ray, making it less likely to burn the skin compared to a level-one bed. The company refers
to its beds as high-pressure beds, instead of Ultra Bronze.
"We're not going to say that it's safer because it's not proven one way or the other," Peck said. "There is a less likely chance that you'll burn in a high pressure bed than a low pressure one."
With 800,000 cases of skin cancer diagnosed every year, making it the most prominent form of cancer according to the American Cancer Society.
Technology that takes away the burn may be worth the extra cost.
But even with the no-burn alternative offered, for some the risk is still too much to overcome.
The American Cancer Society claims that those who tan frequently before the age of 35 are eight times as likely to develop skin cancer
"It's cancer filled so I don't even go at all anymore," McCoy said.
For those not willing to give up their island-dwelling look, spray tans are also becoming more popular.
The tanner stands in a type of shower that basically just drenches the body in a fake tanning lotion.
Usually, the spray-on tans take 24 hours to mature on the skin and don't last as long as being under the lights, but it's a safe alternative to stay tan.

Lawrence offers several tanning options, including standard beds, stand-up beds and Mystic tanning. Mystic tanning is a UV-free spray-on coat. Maggie Morrie, KU graduate, uses a standard tanning bed at Sunkiss Tanning, 2540 Iowa St. to build a base tan at the beginning of the summer.

"YOUR MOM WANTS YOU TO EAT AT JIMMY JOHN'S!"
There are a few miles left for its engine, and in order to get the most of Old Blue, or any car, it's important to get regular maintenance checks.
But, like any 13-year-old car, my four-door sedan with a salvage title and a Maaco paint job has had its rough days.
It's made noises, shook,
stalled and smoked. But being old and far from trendy doesn't mean Old Blue is headed for the scrap yard — at least not yet.
Maintenence is simple enough. Every 2,500 miles or so, I take my car in for an oil change.
My car has been good to me.
"Old blue," my Ford Taurus,
has helped me get where I need to.
Taking my car to the shop was a task my dad was in charge of, but since I came to college, it's been my responsibility.

My car has been good to me.
Because of the miles on my car — it has well over 100,000 it needs more than an oil change.
BY AMANDA O'TOOLE
Any phone book has a number of listings for auto diagnostic services.
Some mechanics specialize in different areas. For example, there are transmission mechanics, oil and lube shops and places like Wal-Mart that offer services.
However, choosing a place to put your beloved wheels is more complicated than a flip through the yellow pages.
Also, it's important you tell the mechanic to call before they fix anything.
Call the mechanic and ask whether the shop is certified, and if so, in what.
If you don't know a lot about cars, ask someone you trust who knows what's what to go along with you to drop the car off.
I've found it beneficial to ask friends, professors and even teaching assistants for advice on mechanics. If they've lived in Lawrence for more than five years, chances are, they've been to a mechanic.
Recommendations or complaints are helpful in weeding out the good mechanics from the bad.
If you don't think a test needs to be run, or you know you can change an air filter yourself, tell them not to proceed. It's okay to say — it is your car.
Don't feel stupid trying to re-enact noises or explain strange shakes or smells.
Once you've found a mechanic, explain to whomever takes your keys what exactly is the problem.
That said, keep in mind it's not a good idea to ignore problems because you can't afford to fix them or because you don't have the time. Charge the maintenance on a credit card and find time.
Ignoring a problem could make your troubles worse and seriously ruin your car. A $500 bill is much better than buying a new one.

Just disc it
Golfers take to the course as game gains new popularity
BY DANI HURST
Josh Levine stood on the concrete slab marked with a large painted 17 and clutched the orange disc in his right hand, squinting against the sun toward the disc golf target.
"It's just fun," Levine said, the front and back of his grey
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 over to the grounded disc, picked it up and flung again.
This was the first day in four years that Levine, Omaha graduate student, had played disc golf. So why hop back on the wagon?
t-shirt soaked with sweat.
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
Lawrence in recent years.
"It's just fun."
The name of the game alone hints at its similarities to golf as far as as the struc-
metal pole with chains descending from the top and meeting at a ridge about a foot below the top that surrounds the pole and catches the disc.
So just throw a disc and land

ture of the game and rules are concerned.
Each player stands at the "tree," or a designated spot for the start of every hole, and throws the disc toward the "hole," which in this case is a
a tires, and land it in a metal basket? Is that all?
According to the Professional Disc Golf Association Web site, the goal of the game is to complete a course in the fewest number of throws of the disc.
Eager beginners, beware. Disc golf courses are usually laid out in
a place that poses natural obstacles. These are a huge part of the game because they increase the difficulty of each hole and thus cannot be altered.
Participants must play around trees and shrubs and in ditches and through weeds to play the game well.

OFF THE HILL 11D
TRADITION
Make your mark on the River City 10 things to do to make your time in Lawrence worth the effort
1. See a band you've never heard
You can head to the Bottleneck on most any night, see a band you've never heard of and have a surprisingly good time. You'll hear new, fresh music in an intimate atmosphere around people with similar musical tastes.
2. Window shop on Massachusetts Street
Saxophone music swells on street corners from musicians. Families, couples and workers stroll down the si'elewalks, and local specialty shops keep their doors wide open. Go for holiday gift buying, a quick shopping spree, or just to soak up the unique Lawrence atmosphere.
3. Get a snow cone at Tad's
Welcome to Lawrence, Northerners, and to the brutal month of August. When the temperatures push into the 100s and the air starts to suffocate you, make your way to Tad's Tropical Snow, 930 Iowa St., where crunchy frozen ice and 130 flavors await you.
4. Canoe or kayak at Clinton or Lone Star Lake
Get your own vessel or borrow someone else's and go to Clinton Lake (or Lone Star Lake if you're feeling ambitious) and spend a few hours on your on the lake during a pleasant fall day. Bring your rod and tackle box if you're a keen fisherman, but avoid eating anything you catch at Clinton Lake. You'll be
safe with the Lone Star goodies.
5. Watch a movie at Liberty Hall
Lawrence's downtown movie theater not only has rare indie flicks, but it's also the only place in town, short of your living room, where you can drink a beer and watch a show at the same time. Plus, the closed-cove feeling of the two intimate theaters make Liberty seem like you're screening movies in your own home.
6. Run or bike along the Kansas River
14-mile trail to go running or biking on.
It's better than sprinting on a treadmill
or riding a stationary bike at the Student
Fitness Recreation Center. Just watch
out for snakes.
7. Play in the water at the Lawrence Aquatic Center
It doesn't get much better than miles of water slides, fake lily pads and huge ceramic mushrooms that spray water. But it's available at Lawrence's best outdoor pool located at Eighth and Kentucky Streets. And you'll find decent-looking lifeguards to boot.
The Frisbee golf course at 9th and Iowa Streets are 18 holes
8. Frisbee golf
of disc golf bliss. The course received rave reviews in the 2003 edition of the USDGA directory. It's a good time by yourself or with friends, regardless of your talent. The disc course is conveniently located behind Bucky's Drive-In, so stop by for a tasty burger and thick milk shake after you throw.
9. Live in the student ghetto
Those infamous streets, Ohio, Tennessee, and Kentucky, just east of campus, are known for their 100-year-old houses, brimming student population and tight-knit neighborhood feel.
Walk through the ghetto on almost any weekend evening and you'll find an open-porch house party, welcoming people and a college vibe unlike anywhere else in Lawrence.
10. Stay in Lawrence for the summer
You might assume the city's a ghost town. Guess again. June to August provide the best laid-back college atmosphere with the perfect amount of people about. More than 10,000 students take summer classes. Not to mention several thousand more stay in town for a summer off.
Lawrence restaurants, bars and venues can offer students an opportunity to relax without the crowds, lines and stolen parking spots.

FITNESS
Avoiding the dreaded Freshman 15 Tips and advice to stay fit during your freshman year
WARNING: THIS IS NOT A WEIGHT CLASS. STOP AT THE GYM FOR SUPPORT.
John Stilling, Topeka junior, works out on a rowing machine at the Student Recreation Center. Working out and maintaining a healthy diet are ways to avoid the "Freshmen 15."
Joshun Bickel/KANSAN
While the "Freshman 15" isn't an exact science, it isn't a complete myth, either. The sudden and drastic changes in students' lifestyles can greatly affect their health and fitness level, which can begin to show itself in uncharacteristic weight gain. But not to worry. With the help of Ann Chapman, coordinator for nutritional services at Watkins Memorial Health Center, east of Robinson Center, here is a comprehensive guide to dealing with the transition to college life in relation to your health.
1. Have a plan.
Most students don't bother organizing their eating habits, or simply don't think about it. Scheduling regular meals and snacks, along with exercise, can help keep you on the right track and away from developing bad habits, like skipping meals and constant snacking.
2. Keep a food diary.
This can be a very enlightening experience for students, especially if they have to log every bite they take in a day. It will show you exactly what you're eating and in what quantities, which can help you set goals to change your eating if necessary. It can also show you problem areas you might have, such as eating too many sweets or not enough vegetables.
3. Consider "Better Bites"
These food options are available in all the dining spots on campus, and are labeled clearly for convenience. They are a taste and healthier alternative to food that is fried and high in sodium and carbohydrates, and are there for students who want to watch what they eat.
4. Exercise, for real.
Although you might break a sweat walking to class or up the hills on campus, that is still not sufficient exercise. It's better than nothing, but it does not burn fat because it does not keep your heart rate constant. Work out an exercise plan that fits with your schedule and stick to it. The Student Recreational Center is free for students to use, and there are personal trainers to help you along the way.
5. Educate yourself
Many problems students have arise from not knowing the facts about diet and exercise. Take the time to educate yourself about what are and are not healthy eating and exercise habits so you know if what you're doing is helping or harming your body.
6. Have realistic goals and body image
Don't say "never" or "always" because both statements are highly restrictive and don't allow room for change. Saying that you'll "never" eat dessert or that you'll "always" workout every day is easier than actually doing it. Realistic body image is important, too, because the way you view yourself will affect the way you treat your body. Don't push your body too hard toward an attainable goal.
7. Don't be afraid to ask for help
If you think something is wrong or that you need help, don't wait until the situation gets any worse. Offentimes, students don't visit a dietician or nutritionist until they've already gained a lot of weight. But by catching the problem early on, you can take matters into your own hands and act right away.
8. Keep drinking to a minimum
Students don't realize how many calories come from a bottle of beer. Those calories tend to add up quickly because they're so easy to forget about. Late-night snacking is another pitfall to excessive drinking, which is another quick source for unwanted calories.
9. It's all about moderation
Don't eat everything in sight, but don't starve yourself, either. It can be easy for some to fall into extreme dieting or bingeing, but neither is a healthy option. If you want cookies with your lunch, get cookies with your lunch. Just cut out desserts with other meals, and don't get them every day. This way you
can still eat what you want, you just have to keep it under control.
10. Make your health a priority
If you don't take your health seriously, you won't take the extra steps to keep it up. But if you honestly want to make a change, or simply want to stay
in shape, be sincere in your efforts and you will be successful. You might not get there right away, but patience and hard work will eventually pay off.

Seasonal allergies problematic for old, new sufferers
TYLENOL
SINUS
BY DANI HURST
Manrique Cartin, Costa Rica senior, said he rarely got sick. 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 from allergies.
His allergies were worse at the beginning of the summer, but Cartin said he'd 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 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
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.
"I've never been a big pill person. It's just another thing I have to add to my list of things to do everyday."
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 said, staff physician at Watkins.
Matt Milburn, Rogers, Ark,
senior, said that when he'd
people, the worst of which was a mold called "alternaria," Ransom said.
Ben Combes, Inman senior said that his allergies lasted longer into the summer than normal.
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.
Ransom also said that ragweed — a weed very prominent in this area — was particularly problematic to allergy sufferers.
MATT MILBURN Rogers, Ark. senior
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.

Lawrence offers fun music scene
From downtown to residence halls, students can't escape music-soaked culture
SAMUEL KHAN

BY NATALIE JOHNSON
You can't separate Lawrence from its music.
Music is the city's pride, entertainment and soul. Lawrence's inhabitants live in a music-soaked, music-cloaked world. Music leaks from venue doors and blasts from open residence hall room windows.
Streetcorner saxophone and guitar players provide a soundtrack to downtown evenings.
In September 2005, Spin magazine called Lawrence the "alwaysdependable indie rock haven," but the city has a lot more than indie rock.
There are open mic nights, poetry readings and karaoke. There are scores of local bands and frequent famous ones. Most shows cost $5 or less, and many are for 18-and-over patrons.
Countless venues around town plays host to a variety of music events on a nightly basis.
Music is on the radio, picked up from various Kansas City and Topeka stations and from the studentrun KJHK, a lesson in eclecticism via airwaves.
Fliers for wanted drummers and bassists cluster on bulletin boards, haphazardly pinned over layers and layers of glossy concert posters, open mic night ads and neon DJ filers.
For example, in a given week, the Jackpot Saloon, 943 Massachusetts St., has 16 bands, a DJ and a variety night — all for an 18-and-over audience. The highest cover for the week is $6.
Jared Gabel, 2004 graduate, started his band Gryphyn in 2003. He practiced with a few friends, and started playing with another band at the Jazzhaus, a well-known venue at
Lawrence has a great climate for burgeoning artists too.
The Granada, here since 1928 at 1020 Massachusetts St., has live music almost every night, always for those under 21, with tickets between $5 and $20. Past bands there include Something Corporate, Phantom Planet and Tech N9ne.
Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., is usually a movie theater, but about three times a month turns into a large venue for concerts, said manager Rob Fitzgerald. Liberty Hall rents the 1000-seat venue to concert promoters around town.
926 1/2 Massachusetts St.
Gabel says being in a band in college was a great experience.
"Sometimes I should have been studying," he said. "But it was awesome to be out partying, at a club, and sometimes people would recognize you."
Mike Tiffany is a promoter for Hunt Industries, a local music promotion company.
Tiffany said he finds support for various kinds of music here.
Downtown is
"We do everything from country to hip hop to metal to rock," he said. "It's a very friendly place to music. You've got downtown, with five main venues in three blocks."
annually right on campus.
On the books for the fall are two guest dance companies, two musicals, two chamber music concerts and a string quartet piece about civil rights leaders.
Downtown is just the beginning for the Lawrence music scene.
The University also has an excellent music program that offers frequent concerts, symphonies and opera.
The University of Kansas' Lied Center offers dozens of productions
"Sometimes I should have been studying. But it was awesome to be out partying, at a club,and sometimes people would recognize you."
ARED GABEL 2004 graduate
Lawrence is a haven for those who know a lot about music and an educator for those who don't.
Whether you like going to concerts three times a week, or prefer your music to be in the background, Lawrence music fits the bill.
"Lawrence is one of the great scenes. People are more aware of what's going on. People are more supportive," Tiffany said.

Lawrence nightlife offers variety
BY LINDSEY RAMSEY
Drinking in the bars is a popular activity among college students, but Lawrence offers more weekend fun for students who either don't enjoy noisy bars or are under 21.
It's Thursday night at 7.
I don't know if I can see the details in this image. It appears to be a monochrome photo of two people interacting closely, with one person raising their hand in a gesture that suggests excitement or surprise. The background is blurred and indistinct, possibly indicating a crowded setting or an interior space with dim lighting.
The perpetual question is plaguing you. To go out or to stay in? Do I want a quiet night or a crazy one?
Kansas file photo
Every week for three days — yes, the weekend starts on Thursdays — this question haunts students. No matter your decision, Lawrence has an answer to all nightlife dilemmas.
With so many options, our little college town is a veritable goldmine of ways to avoid studying.
Lawrence is "small enough to have a friendly, community vibe, while being big enough to have a variety of bars, shows, scenes and opportunities.
You start to become familiar with the regulars and yet there are always new people to meet," Craig Beeson, Loma Linda, Calif., graduate student, said.
Not so fast, young one
Oh, the exquisite pain of being underage in a college town. It may seem everyone around you is getting wasted and therefore getting laid, but it's just not true.
Fun can be bead without alcohol and those MIPs are getting so expensive you should do yourself a favor and play by the rules — at least some of the time.
One of the best bets for younglings who still want to see and be seen is the Granada's, 1020 Massachusetts St., 80's night, Neon.
Every Thursday night at 9, hipsters and those that follow them all go to Neon to relive a time when spandex and legwarmers were a good thing — but you'll probably see them in full force even though their time has come and gone.
If your music tastes tend toward the top 40 and you've just got to dance, there's always Liquid, 806 W. 24th St.
When a two for Tuesday — buy one get one free — night, or any night for that matter, at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts, is always a good idea.

fare and makes for a great date. Liberty Hall is also a prime venue for concerts, which aren't always 21 and over.
But sometimes a drink is in order. Beth Breitenstein, Overland Park junior, said if there was one thing she missed about being underage, it's finding fun house parties.

The nightlife is concentrated downtown along Massachusetts Street, but there are bars all around town where crowds can disperse.
One area that deserves attention is not-so-widely known as the Tennessee Triangle, or the merry-go-round that is Bull-Hawk-Wheel. These three drinking establishments have become a rite of passage for KU drinkers.
"It's an experience to hang out with all the frat/sorority/beginning college students. It's one aspect of the college scene that you know will be filled with KU students that are excited to be there," Beeson says.

Handy items often forgotten
BY ADRIENNE BOMMARITO
Decorating a dorm room or apartment can be a hassle. With all the pressures and stress of moving, it's easy to forget to buy important items that will be missed later. After visiting stores around Lawrence, the following lists were compiled to help you remember all the necessities that are typically forgotten.
FOR YOUR DORM ROOM
FIRST AID KIT
Besides the items suggested for dorm rooms, such as carpet, rugs, desk, lamp, microwave and mini refrigerator, here are some much needed, but commonly missed, articles.
Freshman new exprieto students, cluding not having Mom around. A first aid kit consisting of bandages, burn cream
FIRST AID KIT
and gauze
pads will help keep cuts and burns clean and reduce infections and discomfort.
Price Range: $5 to $15 (depending on size and contents)
CABLEZIPPER
A cablezipper is used to connect all the cords from a computer. Instead of having long strands of annoyance, a cablezipper clasps all the cords together, making a neater and more organized desk. With the small space of a dorm room, there is no reason to clutter it up with computer cords.
Price Range: $10 to $20
Used for not-in-season clothing, the space bag vaccum seals its contents, then all
you have to do is roll it up and stow it. The vacuum seal allows a lot of material to be smooshed together for small storage space.
Price Range: $20 to $40
SLEEP MASK
A sleep mask is imperative for those students who can't sleep with a light on. When sharing a dorm room, there will be times when one roommate is studying late at night while the other is asleep. A sleep mask will help accommodate the roommates, so both are satisfied.
Price Range: $5 to $10
POSTER STICKIES
Instead of living in boredom with plain white walls, add some flavor with posters and pictures. However, to secure them to the wall, you will need poster stickies. Poster stickies will keep your decoration in place without damaging the wall or poster.
Price Range: $3 to $5
SURGE PROTECTOR
This item is good for protecting your computer if the electricity shuts off, and is a great investment, even for life after the dorms. Instead of plugging the computer cords directly into the wall, plug them into a surge protector and your technology will be safe.
Price Range: $20 to $30
BOOK LIGHT
Again, to avoid roommate disagreements, purchase a book light for late-night studying or reading. Book lights can be small enough to clip onto the book, allowing for easy reading wherever you are.
Price Range: $5 to $10
erators, mold and mildew and laundry bags. Satisfaction is guaranteed.
DORM ROOM ODOR ELIMINATOR
Found at Bed Bath and Beyond for $8.99,
the Gonzo Dorm Room Odor Eliminator is
definitely a must-have. It will eliminate odor
from left over food, athletic gear, refrig-
These reusable dryer balls soften fabrics while cutting drying time in half. The dryer balls will come in handy cost wise, and with a two-year life expectancy, it doesn't matter how often you dry your clothes.
DRYER BALLS
Price Range: $5 to $15
IRON AND BOARD
Two of the items many people forget about until they need a wrinkle-free shirt, an iron and board nearby will come in handy.
Price Range: Iron $20 and up, Board $10 and up
FOR YOUR APARTMENT
Besides items already purchased for the dorm room, and obvious items such as furniture and dishes needed for an apartment, here are some generally overlooked articles.
10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90
If you like toast, baggels or toaster pastries in the morning, or any time, this is a must-have for your kitchen. For a quick and easy breakfast or a late-night snack, a toaster
TOASTER
SHOWER CURTAIN AND HOOKS
will serve you well.
Price Range: $20 to $80
Although this may seem obvious, many people simply forget to buy one. A shower curtain will give you your privacy and keep your bathroom floor dry.
Price Range: Curtain $10 to $40, Hooks $2
to $10 for a set
VACUUM CLEANER
clean, a vacuum cleaner will be beneficial to tidy up after a late-night rendezvous. Food particles and mud will attempt to take over your apartment, but your handy vacuum cleaner will prevent that from happening.
Price Range: $30 and up
Now that you actually have an area to
BLENDER
EI
Now that you have your own kitchen, a blender will be convenient for making smoothies and specialty drinks. Themed get-togethers, such as Fiesta Night, will need a blender for those oh-so-tasty margaritas.
Price Range: $20 to $100
VACUUM CLEANER
Now that you actually have an area to clean, a vacuum cleaner will be beneficial to tidy up after a late-night rendezvous. Food particles and mud will attempt to take over your apartment, but your handy vacuum cleaner will prevent that from happening.
Price Range: $30 and up
KITCHEN TRASH CAN
People remember to purchase a dorm room trash can during freshman year, but seem to forget to buy one for the kitchen when they move into a house or apartment. A kitchen trash can will be a convenience and will help keep your kitchen sanitary.
Price Range: $10 to $40
Having access to a kitchen is great because you can cook your own meals. But what about the cleaning? A dish scrubber comes in handy when washing the dishes by
DISH SCRUBBER
hand, or to pre-wash before putting them in the dishwasher.
Price Range: $3 to $6
CAN OPENER
Price Range: $2 to $5
While cooking in your own kitchen, a can opener will be needed to open canned food items such as corn or green beans. This is another item people often overlook.
BROOM
Price Range: $2 to $10
Unless you've hired a maid to clean your apartment, you will have to start doing it yourself. A broom is an easy way to clean up fallen particles from the floors of your kitchen and bathroom.
ICE-CUBE TRAYS
For a cold glass of water after hours of sweeping and vacuuming the apartment, icecube trays are a necessity.
Price Range: $2 to $7
COFFEE MAKER
Whether it's staying up late to study or waking up at the crack of dawn to start your day, a coffee maker is helpful for getting your daily doses of caffeine.
BREWING UNDER
Price Range: $20 and up
Whether you are shopping as a freshman moving into the residence halls or as a first-time apartment leaser, don't forget these vital items that will help your school year be as smooth as possible.

For some Irish luck, European wannabes head to Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., for imported brews and free popcorn. And hip smokers find sanctuary at The Replay Lounge, 946 Massa-

There are some placea where a little class can carry the night, if you are willing to spend a little more for your spirits. The Bourgeois Pig, Six E. Ninth St., provides quiet corners for a coffee or glass of wine.
Manager Greg Mann says it gives people the opportunity to dress up and do something unusual
for the night.
Quinton's wine nights offer a taste of five wines — some red, some white — and a glass of your favorite, all for $10.
Other places that can offer a bit of refinement to your nightlife include Henry's On Eighth, 11 E. Eighth St., The Jayhawker at The Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts

All are ideal for dates or nights when you just can't stand the thought of another Bud Light.
No matter your poison, Lawrence delivers. From Massachusetts to the ghetto, students find many different ways to drink or dance themselves into oblivion.

ENROLLMENT
University changes drop policy
BY DANNY LUPPINO
Students will no longer be able to drop a class on the last day of the semester because of a new drop policy signed by Provost Richard Lariviere on Aug. 14.
The new policy, created by University Governance, will be implemented for the fall semester for all schools except the School of Law. By the terms of the policy, a class can no longer be dropped after the 60th day that classes are in session. Previously, a class could be dropped any time before final exams.
"That made it just too easy to bail out of a class," Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, senior vice provost for academic affairs, said. "If you slept through a test or blew something, you could really escape the consequences."
The new policy also changes what will go on a student's transcript during the second drop period, which begins after the 15th day of classes. Students will receive either a "WP" if they are passing the class at the time of the drop or a "WF" if they are failing. Neither grade will count toward the student's grade point average.
"It's pretty much a common nomenclature across universities," Marla Herron, associate registrar, said of the new grades.
Administrators hope that the change will encourage students to decide earlier if a class is right for them and possibly open up spaces for students who weren't able to initially enroll in those classes.
Under the previous policy, a grade of "W" would appear on the transcript regardless of the student's grade at the time of the drop.
"They need to really try to plan ahead and get in the right classes and stay in those classes," Herron said.
The policy change is one result of a report from the graduate in four task force in September 2005. The report examined ways in which the University could increase the number of students graduating in four years.

Tuition traffic crashes KU software
BY BEN SMITH
Students could not pay tuition for part of Tuesday because of a temporary glitch with the new software that monitors financial information for the University of Kansas.
The glitch has been attributed to problems with the newest version of PeopleSoft, which powers many of the online services for the University, that was implemented during the summer. According to the Bursar's Office, students will not be charged late fees for tuition payments until Friday.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost of student success, said that the system was slow because of a taxing amount of activity.
"PeopleSoft is used not only by students but by faculty and staff as well," she said. "It was an issue of capacity that caused the problem, not the product itself."
The system has been functioning since 6 p.m. Tuesday, but administrators and tech support personnel are monitoring it to make sure more problems do not arise.
This PeopleSoft/Oracle upgrade of the Enroll and Pay system cost the University $70,000. The new
version has been operational on the KU campuses since early July.
The new software underwent fine-tuning throughout the summer. This first week of the fall semester, with the number of students, faculty and staff suddenly spiking from the comparatively low usage during the summer, overly stressed the new system.
"It was frustrating," he said. "I know the University is a bureaucracy, but they knew that this day
Jeff Stocker, Leawood senior, spent the afternoon trying to complete the required registration for a replacement KUID.
was coming and a server overload should have been planned for."
Stocker spent two hours in lines at the Bursar's office and the KU Card Center.
"We are really disappointed that we could not provide people with the proper service," Roney said.
Kansan staff writer Ben Smith can be contacted at bsmith@ kansan.com. Danny Luppino contributed to this story.
The University plans to upgrade PeopleSoft again later this year.

Post office slow to process change-of-address forms
Moving causes mail delay
Andy Garner, Liberal senior, understood that it would take some time before he started getting mail at his new house, but was surprised it took so long.
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
He ordered a memory card for his Playstation 2, but the card did not arrive until Monday. It was postmarked July 31.
Many students moving to Lawrence or just into a different house or apartment are wondering why their mail is taking so long to arrive.
"The only thing I really need is my credit card bill, and I can get that online if I need to," he said.
A
But he's not very concerned. He hasn't even asked the post office why his mail was taking so long to be delivered.
Lawrence postmaster Judy Raney said that the office had received a lot of calls asking why it was taking so long to receive mail, but no serious complaints. She said the delay was not the local post office's fault. An internal problem occurred within the national system that scans and enters change of address requests, she said.
Terry Penland, customer relations manager with the U.S. Postal Service, confirmed that there was a small glitch within the national system that added to the delays. The glitch has since been corrected.
Raney said students not knowing how to file a change of address form was one of the post office's biggest problems.
Raney said that this was especially problematic now, with the influx of students moving and coming back to Lawrence.
"There is no doubt that this is the busiest time of year," Raney said.

CRIME
Marijuana found in dorms; penalties strict on campus
BY DAVID LINHARDT
An Oliver Hall desk manager found a small amount of marijuana Sunday in the hall lobby during the weekend move-in.
If the person who brought in the drug had been caught and convicted, he or she could have been expelled from the University and denied access to future federal financial aid.
DeskmanagerKatelynDePenning
didn't see who dropped the baggie, which contained about a gram of marijuana, according to the KU Public Safety Office.
Officer Alissa Counley identified the drug and flushed it down a women's restroom toilet in Oliver with DePenning as witness, according to Counley's report.
If an officer can't determine who may have dropped an unattended drug packet, then the investigating officer destroys the drugs and
the case is considered closed, said Schuyler Bailey, University of Kansas Public Safety Office spokesman.
Forty-five drug-related offenses were reported by the KU Public Safety Office in 2005. Marijuana appears to be the most common drug at the University, Bailey said.
Merely possessing a hallucinogenic drug like marijuana could get a student kicked out of the University in addition to penalties under federal or Kansas state law.
The University can discipline students and athletes caught with drugs, including putting them on non-academic probation if the situation warrants it, said Jane Tuttle, assistant to the vice provost for student success. She added that offenders could be removed from student housing as well.
Violating probation can lead to being expelled.
Possessing drugs while employed by the University is clear grounds
for dismissal, said Ola Faucher, director of Human Resources and Equal Opportunity.
"Possession of illegal drugs is a crime and also misconduct, but we never dismiss people without hearing their side of the story," Faucher said.
The punishment might not end there, though. Being caught with even a small amount of marijuana on University property is a Class A misdeanor and could result in
a year in state prison and a $2,500 fine.
Manufacturing or selling drugs is far more serious; fines for manufacturing can reach $500,000 along with up to 17 years in prison.

Wireless Internet to go campus-wide

A new plan by Student Senate will allow students at the University of Kansas access to wireless Internet from more spots on campus than ever before.
Boots has been working with Information Services and Network and Telecommunications Services to expand the availability of wireless Internet to approximately half of campus buildings without it. The expansion of a campus-wide wireless network was one of Boots' campaign platforms during last spring's Student Senate elections.

"In the next three weeks we'll get a decent estimate," Boots said.
He added that by October there would be a plan to expand wireless zones to academic classrooms.
Aude Negrete, Lenexa junior, said that during the school year she uses wireless zones on campus an average of three times a week. Negrete finds the wireless zones helpful because they make finishing her assignments easier.
got tired of them and went elsewhere.
Negrete primarily uses the wireless zones at Watson and Anschutz Libraries, but sometimes visits other wireless zones such as coffee shops for a change of scenery.
Boots is still working to determine how to pay for the expansion. Ideas include using departmental funds and fees or student tuition to pay for the new wireless zones.
Negrete said that the libraries were her first choice, but that she
Negrate said she wasn't opposed to paying for the wireless expansion through tuition as long as the amount were acceptable.
"I would be willing to pay if it was a reasonable amount." Negrete said. "Probably $70 or less"
As technology becomes more wireless-capable, campus-wide access is a necessary improvement. Boots said.
"This will do a lot for students," Boots said. "In two years, students will be able to capitalize on the infrastructure we already have in place."

TRADITIONS
BY MATT ELDER
Scholars walk up
The University of Kansas Mount Oread Scholars took their first steps toward graduation Monday by walking the opposite route graduating students take in May.
Nearly 70 freshman wearing matching white T-shirts that read "What goes up, must come down" hiked the Mount Oread hill to mirror their goal of graduation. Only 158 freshmen are in the program.
During the 10th annual walk, KU faculty members congratulated the success of students' previous work and prepared them for the work that lies ahead.
"You've all achieved academically," said Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, associate vice provost for student success. "You are among the best students that come to KU."
As members of the scholar program, these freshman students have chosen to embrace the challenges of college before their college careers have begun. Many felt that the program would lead them in the proper direction.
"I have to maintain a high GPA in the program," said Heather
Dietz, Hays freshman. "I'll stay more focused, and it looks good on a résumé."
Led by the banner of the 2006 spring graduating class, students began their trip from Memorial Stadium by walking to the Rock Chalk Cairn, home of the torchlighting ceremony used during Traditions Night. Gathered around the fire pit, faculty members read the expectations and foundations of the program. Students proceeded to the entrance of the Campanile, where Tuttle discussed the myths and traditions surrounding the University's World War II monument.
Following a brief history of several of the University's achievements, monuments and distinguished historical guests, Tuttle urged students to positively influence the University in their years ahead.
"My challenge to you, is when you leave this university, you leave it a greater, stronger place," she said.

PROFILE
New director marches toward a better band
BY DARLA SLIPKE
At a morning rehearsal of the Marching Jayhawks, some people grumble to themselves, others race to their next starting positions with admirable energy, but everyone does his or her best to get through the motions efficiently. At this point in the day, the band has been practicing marching formations for three hours.
Through the heat and the fatigue that accompanies marching, one man's voice is heard calling out instructions and coaxing the band along; David Clemmert, the new director of athletic bands and assistant band director.
Clemmer, who came from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, has had to learn many of the traditions at the University of Kansas. He said they were some of the greatest traditions in college athletics and hopes to build on them.
"My arrival has been full throttie," Clemmer said. "I jumped on the saddle when I arrived."
Clemmer took over this month, succeeding James Hudson, who left the University of Kansas to pursue a job at Arizona State University.
"I was impressed with all the many facets of school spirit and pageantry," he said. "My intent is not to change any of that, but to strengthen
it. The pageantry that has always been will always be.$^a$
He is working to create a unique sound for the band, one that will serve as its identity.
"He's very picky about how each instrument sounds," said Aaron Briuzela, a Killeen, Texas, graduate assistant, who has known Clemmer for six years. "His concept of sound production is really simple, but really effective. I think the musicianship of the ensemble is going to go up a lot with Clemmer directing it."
In addition to improving on existing practices, Clemmer has added a few traditions of his own. This year the band will perform a pre-game concert. The band will still march
down the hill, but it will stop at the bottom to perform for fans before heading into the stadium. Also new this year, at the end of each rehearsal, the band will play the fight song as a way to end practice on an enthusiastic note.
"He's very positive," said clarinet section leader Meredith Allen, Shawne senior. "He has definite goals for us and he sees where he's going with us. So far it's been a lot of fun."

TERRORISM
Twenty-three suspects held for alleged plot to blow up trans-Atlantic jetliners
BY MATT MOORE
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
LONDON — A district judge ruled Wednesday that British investigators had until next week to investigate the suspects arrested in an alleged plot to blow up as many as 10 trans-Atlantic jetliners, saying they could be kept in custody without charge.
It was the first major test of a new terrorism law that allows suspects to be held for as many as 28 days without charge so investigators can solidify their cases.
The hearing, which addressed the cases of 23 suspects arrested in Britain's initial sweep last week, was held behind closed doors and attended only by the suspects' lawyers, investigators and government officials.
Scotland Yard said that 21 of the suspects could be detained for questioning through Aug. 23 and that another two could be detained until Aug. 21. No reason was given for the difference in the length of time.
The final suspect, who was arrested Tuesday, was not involved in the hearing, Scotland Yard said, adding that he remained in police custody.
Experts say police could use nearly a month to complete a probe primarily because of the complexity of investigations into the alleged plot to smuggle liquid explosives hidden in hand luggage aboard flights.
"You've got laptops, you have to bring in translators to translate all the documents in there, and sometimes it's inopportune to release all your suspects — particularly terrorism suspects — while all that is being downloaded and translated," said Cliff Knuckey, a retired police detective who has worked on terrorism investigations.
LAWRENCE
Lawrence to build new sewage facility
City council to hear proposal for location southeast of town, which could minimize odor concerns
BY MARK VIERTHALER
The proposed Wakarusa Water Reclamation facility faced a hurdle as the city commission addressed concerns with the facility's location.
The facility, proposed to aid the city of Lawrence as it approaches a population of 150,000, has been discussed by the city commission for the past several months. During a special session at City Hall, the city commission announced it would recommend a location less than a mile southeast of Lawrence.
The site is bordered by the Wakarusa River. The closest residential neighborhoods include the areas around Prairie Park in southeast Lawrence.
Lisa Patterson, Lawrence communications manager, said the largest concerns were odor and the environment. She said those involved would take pains to make sure there were no environmental infractions and no odor problems.
The city commission hired Black & Veatch, an engineering, consulting and construction company, to design the new facility. According to the company's proposal, the site is recommended because no residents require relocation, there are few close neighbors, the floodway provides a natural buffer to the north and east, prevailing winds minimize the odor, the waste water will drain downhill to the facility rather than being pumped in and the site provides room for expansion.
The site also has no apparent
environmental issues, Patterson said.
"This is a facility that will be used decades down the line," Patterson said.
Initially, the facility will process 7 million gallons per day.
Patterson said the site could be equipped to handle up to 50 million gallons per day after expansion
The site's proximity to homes isn't an issue either, she said.
"The current facility is less than a mile from city hall," Patterson said. "I would encourage you to go outside and take a big, deep breath. With our current facility, there are probably four, five, six days a year where odor is a problem."
The city commission will receive a list of public concerns, as well as
Black & Veatch's recommendation within the next several commission meetings. Patterson was unable to put an exact deadline on when the documents will come before the commission.
Mike Amyx, Lawrence mayor, said when the proposal came before the city commission it would look closely at the concerns of odor, environment and residency.
"We'll make sure that site works well." Amyx said. "We need to make sure we can serve as many future residents as possible."

Business minor makes its debut this fall School of Business expects increased enrollment numbers as word gets out
BY KIM LYNCH
For the first time, this semester the School of Business is offering a business minor. Enrollment numbers are currently low, but expected to increase as more students learn about the option.
Ted Boone, director of the business minor program, estimated that 50 students had enrolled in the minor so far.

Lisa Bergeron, a lecturer with the school, who is teaching the "Survey of Finance" class for the business minor, said she didn't think many students knew about the minor yet.
as well. Students could take those classes for the minor or for other purposes, which makes figuring out an exact number of students in the minor difficult, Boone said.
Overland Park freshmen Katie Connealy, left, Gillian Johnston, and Bethany Nesbitt listen to trivia questions during the Ice Cream Social at the Adams Alumni Center on Monday. The event was part of Hawk Week.
"I found out about it in my accounting class," Marco Griego, Alma junior, said.
Currently only one section of each class is being offered, but Boone said more sections would be added as the demand grew.
Bergeron said the pre-business students she had talked to were excited about the new option.
Griego said he was happy about the minor because he had wanted to major in business, but had majored in sports management instead. He said the business minor gave him the chance to revisit his original interest.
Boone said other universities that had business minor programs had done well so he thought it would be good for the University.
The only potential problem for students is that it may not count toward the graduation requirements for other schools.
For example, in the School of Journalism, the business minor counts for elective credits only, not graduation requirements.
Boone was unable to give a list of which schools would be affected.

To the dismay of pro-life groups, the Food and Drug Administration is considering making the emergency contraceptive drug Plan B available without a prescription to women 18 and older.
Plan B, also known as the morning-after pill, is an emergency method of birth control used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. If taken within three days after sex, Plan B is about 89 percent effective in preventing pregnancy, according to Watkins Memorial Health Center. The pill can be effective for five days after sex, but effectiveness decreases with time.
If Plan B is available over-the-counter, women would not have to visit the doctor for a prescription.
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Controversy has surrounded the drug since its development.
Kathy Guth, women's health nurse practitioner at Watkins, said Plan B would likely be available at pharmacies like Target and Wal-Mart if available over-the-counter. According to Watkins, Plan B works differently depending on where a woman is in her menstrual cycle. The pill can stop the release of an egg from the ovary, disrupt fertilization by the sperm or prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the lining of the uterus.
》 HEALTH
In May 2004, the FDA denied Duramed Pharmaceuticals Inc's request to make Plan B a prescription-only product for women younger than 16 years of age and a nonprescription product for women 16 years and older.
The FDA said the company had "not yet provided adequate data" that the drug would be safe for adolescent women without professional supervision.
"it's not an abortion of any kind," Guth said of Plan B. "It just makes
the environment not suitable for a pregnancy"
Campus groups have mixed feelings about the news.
Katy Cortese of Students for Life, called the drug an abortifacient, or something that induces abortion. Cortese said that the drug would promote sexual promiscuity.
Cortese cited recent studies linking birth control to some types of cancer.'
Studies are being conducted all the time, but no link between Plan B and cancer has been found. Nikki Harrop, a member of the executive board for Students for Reproductive Rights, said she thought Plan B was a better choice than abortion because the drug eliminated the psychological stress of waiting.
"I hope it gets more acceptance in a lot of anti-abortion groups as it becomes more mainstream," Harrop said.
If the drug is made available over the counter, Harrop said she hoped the legislation would be seen as a victory for women's health and not just for pro-choice groups.
Plan B can cause nausea, slight headache and bloating. Guth said.
Plan B costs $20 — including the required pregnancy test — at Watkins and is covered by insurance companies on a case-by-case basis. A pregnancy test is required whenever Plan B is prescribed in case a woman is pregnant from a previous incident.

Bush rides motorcycle, campaigns in Pennsylvania
BY DEB RIECHMANN
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
YORK, Pa. — President Bush hopped on a Harley-Davidson at a motorcycle factory Wednesday as he made an election-year pitch for Republican stewardship of the economy.
The president was in Pennsylvania to raise cash for a GOP hopeful in the state's gubernatorial campaign.
Cheers and applause erupted inside the Harley-Davidson Inc. vehicle operations plant here when
Bush straddled a high-end model painted blue and white and revved its engine again and again. Climbing down, he ripped off blue-tinted safety glasses that he insisted made him look like rock star Bono and jokingly struck a pose intended to show a hip side.
"I'm just looking so far" Bush said during a tour of the plant where 3,200 employees work around the clock on shiny motorcycles that move slowly around the assembly floor on tracks. "I'll let Josh Bolten ride these things," Bush said of his chief of staff, a motorcycle enthusiast.
"The more Harleys sold in a place like Vietnam or China or India, the more likely that somebody is going to be able to find work."
PRESIDENT BUSH
After the tour, Bush held a round-table discussion with Harley-Davidson workers about the economy, which has showed signs of slowing. The president said he discussed with the workers the need for government to open up markets for U.S. products around the world.
"The more Harleys sold in a place like Vietnam or China or India, the more likely that somebody is going to be able to find work," Bush said.
An AP-Ipsos poll in early August showed about 37 percent supported Bush's handling of the economy. That matches his lowest level in May 2006 and November 2005, but not that different from the last few months.
Later, Bush flew by helicopter
to Lancaster to raise an estimated $650,000 in much-needed cash for former Pittsburgh Steelers star Lynn Swann, who is carrying GOP hopes for an upset over incumbent Gov Ed Rendell, a Democrat. Swann trails Rendell in fundraising and in the poll.
When Bush landed in Lancaster, he was greeted by about four dozen Amish men in straw hats and women wearing traditional white head coverings who were holding babies. After being windblown by the president's helicopter, they rushed toward him to shake his hand and pose for
pictures.
At the fundraiser, Bush said Swann was running for governor for the right reasons.
"He's had plenty of accolades. Just ask the Dallas Cowboys." Bush said of the football star. "He's not running for his ego. He's running because he wants to serve the people of this state and he's got a platform that makes a lot of sense."
Swann, who was co-chair of the Bush-Cheney campaign's African-American steering committee in 2004, says he's not worried about Bush's lukewarm popularity.
NATIONAL SECURITY
Woman on plane causes panic Flight diverted to Boston for emergency landing
BY BROOKE DONALD ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
BOSTON — Two fighter jets were scrambled Wednesday to escort a London-to-Washington flight to an emergency landing in Boston after a disturbance in which passengers said a woman in a jogging suit paced up and down the aisle, peppering her incoherent mutterings with the word "Pakistan."
The federal official for Boston's Logan International Airport said there was no indication of terrorism, but passengers said they were unnerved by the woman and by the military response, just a week after authorities in London said they foiled a terror plot to blow up flights to the U.S.
"It was a harrowing two hours," said Antony Nash, 31, who was on his way home to San Diego and was seated near the woman.
"I noticed F-15s next to the plane. I said, 'Oh my God.' And then we saw the emergency vehicles"waiting on the tarmac, Nash said.
Gov. Mitt Romney said the 59-year-old woman was from Vermont and became so claustrophobic and upset that she needed to be restrained. The FBI in Boston said the woman, a U.S. citizen, was arrested on charges of interfering with a flight crew.
Passengers said two plainclothes men on board and flight attendants ran up the aisle and tackled the
petite woman, slamming her into the bathroom door, throwing her to the ground and putting her in hand-cuffs, passengers said.
The disturbance was enough of a concern that the pilot declared an emergency, which activated two fighter jets to escort the plane into Logan, said George Nocara, security director for the Transportation Security Administration for Massachusetts' airports.
Two F-15s were sent from Otis Air National Guard Base on Cape Cod to escort the airline, said Master Sgt. Anthony Hill, spokesman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command in Colorado Springs, Colo. He said the fighter pilots can intercept, shadow or escort commercial aircraft and, if ordered, shoot down an aircraft deemed to be a threat.
State police and federal agencies took control of the plane after it landed.
Passengers were taken off the plane, put on a bus and taken to a terminal to be interviewed, Naccara said. Their luggage was spread out on the tarmac, where it was rechecked by security officials and trained dogs.
Joan Bartko, of Manassas, Va. said everyone on the plane did as they were told.
Officials expected the passengers would be allowed onto another flight to Washington later Wednesday.
"It was sort of surreal" she said. "You just know the best thing to do is stay calm."
Nash said he noticed the woman's oversized handbag appeared to contain items such as lotion that he believed should not have been allowed on the plane since the new safety regulations were put in place after last week's terror plot revelations.
Romney said a search of the woman's bag turned up matches and a gelatin-like substance, which he did not define, but there was no indication the items were related to terrorism. Naccara said he did not believe any items she was carrying were the cause of the emergency.
An airport spokesman, Phil Orlandella, previously confirmed broadcast reports that the woman was carrying Vaseline, a screwdriver and a note referring to al-Qaida, but later backed off the statement. Naccara said it was not true.
CRIME
The woman was to remain in federal custody overnight and was expected to be charged in a federal criminal complaint early Thursday, the U.S. attorney and FBI said in a joint statement. The statement did not elaborate on specific charges expected, except to say there was no evidence the incident was related to terrorism.

Ramsey suspect apprehended Police may have cracked 10-year-old murder case
BOULDER, Colo. — A former schoolteacher was arrested Wednesday in Thailand in the slaying of 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey — a surprise breakthrough in a lurid, decade-old murder mystery that had cast a cloud of suspicion over her parents.
BY CATHERINE TSAI ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
Wood said the arrest vindicated JonBenet's parents, John and Patsy Ramsey. Patsy Ramsey died of ovarian cancer June 24.
Ramsey family attorney Lin Wood identified the suspect as John Mark Karr, 41. Federal officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the name, and one law enforcement official told The Associated Press that Boulder police had tracked him down online.
U. S. authorities said Karr was being held in Bangkok on unrelated sex charges, but Thai police Lt. Gen. Suwat Tumrongsiskul said he was unaware of any criminal charges the suspect faced in Thailand.
"John and Patsy lived their lives
Wood would not say how the Ramseys knew Karr. But JonBenet was born in Atlanta in 1990, and the Ramseys lived in the Atlanta suburb of Dunwoody for several years before moving to Colorado in 1991.
knowing they were innocent, trying to raise a son despite the furor around them," Lin Wood said. "The story of this family is a story of courage, and story of an American injustice and tragedy that ultimately people will have to look back on and hopefully learn from."
Karr was a teacher who once lived in Conyers, Ga., according to Wood. The attorney said the Ramseys gave police information about Karr before he was identified as a suspect.
The attorney said the Ramsseys learned about the suspect a least a month before Patsy Ramssey's death. "It's been a very long 10 years, and I'm just sorry Patsy isn't here for me to hug her neck," Wood said.
said Karr confessed to elements of the crime. Also, a law enforcement source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the AP that Karr had been communicating periodically with somebody in Boulder who had been following the case and cooperating with law enforcement officials.
District Attorney Mary Lacy said the arrest followed several months of work, but she said no details would be released until Thursday.
A source close to the investigation
Karr was arrested in his apartment in downtown Bangkok at the request of U.S. officials, and was being held until they arrived in the country, Thai police said. Suwat said he expected U.S. officials to bring Karr back to America soon.

University officials just can't get it right with ugly Wescoe
The planned addition of 70 new offices to the patio on Wescoe Hall's south side is the most recent in a series of bad decisions concerning the unattractive and possibly unsafe edifice.
The original blunder was the construction of the building. Named after the late W. Clarke Wescoe, dean and chancellor of the University in the 1950s and '60s, Wescoe Hall sits on the former site of Robinson Gymnasium, where basketball was played and lectures were given.
Wescoe could look worse. In
1967, KU alumni Art Woodman and Claude Van Doren designed a 25-story, 270,000-square-foot humanities building. But the University lacked the funding for both the $5.8-million skyscraper and a scaled-down 15-story version in 1968.
In 1970, another architecture firm designed a building like the current Wescoe Hall, which included a smaller tower and two levels for parking. Lack of funding became an issue again, so offices were substituted for parking spaces before its completion in
1974.
The University's latest building project, referred to as the "Wesco Infill" presents several concerns.
The University has begun to renovate Wescoe before investigators have completed their safety report. The University commissioned the study in June in response to a complaint that five people with offices in Wescoe had been diagnosed with brain tumors, both malignant and benign. The University expects full results from the study in early 2007.
Don Steeples, vice provost for scholarly support, said that if investigators find unsafe levels of pollutants in Wescoe, it will be remodeled. The University cannot build a new building because of a lack of funding, he said.
Students already have to put up with increased construction noise this year because of work that the University should have completed during the summer. Students shouldn't have to put up with noise again while attending class in the renovated portion, which will contain unique heating and ventilation systems.
More troubling is the disagreement among federal agencies about what levels of pollution are acceptable. A University Relations press release states that formaldehyde levels in eight out of 13 rooms in Wescoe exceed guidelines of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. In contrast, the formaldehyde levels are far below the standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Despite the disagreement among the agencies, the University has continued to insist that Wescoe "has poor airflow but poses no health risk," as stated in the University Relations press release.
No important health or economic decision concerning Wescoe and its occupants should be made without the essential information the final report will provide,nor should students be inconvenienced if the building must be remodeled again.

COMMENTARY
Conservatives misunderstood at liberal KU
Few things are more exciting than the start of a new semester during an election cycle. The campus political parties kick into high gear, students join campaigns for meaningful office, and the entire University engages in good-natured debates on public policy.
Well, scratch that last one.
Nothing heats up the political junkie quite like an argument about the merits of affirmative action, the constitutionality of gun control, or the possible effects of a universal health care system. We're willing to tolerate people who believe in different deities or hail from different ethnic backgrounds, but if we have different opinions on whether tax dollars should support an art museum, it might get ugly.
As I say this, I recognize that I take these political disagreements just as seriously as anyone else. I recognize the ridiculousness of getting so riled up about people disagreeing with my view on the federal minimum wage, but I do it anyway, and I don't intend to stop
In principle, there's nothing wrong with any of that. The problem comes when the political debate heats up and the conservative side of the argument is filled in by a liberal-leaning student or professor on campus, as happens quite often. Because most students here are very rarely exposed to a well-articulated conservative argument on an issue they feel strongly about, they fail to grasp the logic behind the conservative point of view. As such, they often assume that conservative views are either illogical or grounded in intolerance and selfishness.
What I do intend to do, however, is to clarify some of these public policy debates we'll all be exposed to on these pages in The Kansan, in the classroom, and in bumper sticker slogans chalked on campus sidewalks. In my experience, the debates on this campus are largely one-sided. This is a liberal campus in a historically liberal town; we have a liberal student body and most of our professors are liberal.

tions of conservatism. It is explained to us that conservatives oppose welfare and universal health care because rich conservatives dislike the poor and would rather keep their money. Conservatives oppose raising the minimum wage because rich conservatives do not want to pay their workers more and take home less themselves. Conservatives oppose abortion because conservatives support the continued oppression of women. And the list goes on.
This leads to fallacious explana-
The funny part is that the list of positions I just described seems ridiculous to me, yet I know a lot of students at this university and at other universities across the country that would have nodded their heads in agreement at that logic. They see conservatives as either greedy, bigoted, or both. Any moral, economic or logical explanation is just a cover for that greed and hatred. And so the conservative position is discounted and mocked, and campus debate is a liberals-only affair.
This semester, I hope to give a perspective to which this campus and this newspaper are much too rarely exposed. I want to analyze current events and time-honored controversial political issues from a right-leaning perspective, so that the word "conservative" might refer to a viable political perspective rather than an ideological slur to reference backwards-thinking peoples. At the very least, I hope to give those fiery political debates were all anxiously awaiting a second point of view so that our intentions might be better understood and our political debates might be a bit more good-natured.

Time to act on global warming is now
It could be the end of the world as we know it if we don't act quickly.
We need to reduce emissions worldwide by 60 percent to slow down the process of global warming, according to John Whitelegg, professor of sustainable development at the University of York, in a recent BBC article.
To understand exactly how significant a task this is, take the Kyoto Protocol into consideration. It is the United Nations' measure to lower emissions of greenhouse gases by obligating the 146 nations that signed it to reduce their emissions of six greenhouse gases by an average of 5.2 percent below their 1990 levels by 2012.
In Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," scientists are in agreement that global warming is an issue and we are affecting it. Global warming is the increase of temperature caused by the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. These gases are thickening the earth's atmosphere, thus trapping infrared radiation and increasing temperatures globally.

Global warming has caused the Atlantic Ice Cap to decrease by 40 percent in 40 years; within 50 more it could be completely melted. It has also allowed 30 new diseases to come into existence in the past 25 years, and others, such as West Nile, to resurface, according to the documentary.
Americans account for 25 percent of the world's emissions with only 4 percent of the population. We are not part of the Kyoto protocol and have actually increased our emissions by 15 percent since 1990, according to another recent BBG article.
If we as a nation insisted upon zero percent emission, as lofty as it may sound by today's standards, we could reduce the worldwide output

A fire truck and ambulance arrived on the scene minutes later and the custodians were evacuated
Fire captain James King said a split in a hose connected to an air dryer caused the leak. King said that the leak posed no danger and that the building was safe to conduct classes in.
He said that even though fire alarms existed in the building he was not aware of any other systems to detect possible gas leaks.
Head custodian Henry Wilkes said there were eight custodians
working on different floors in the building at the time of the leak. Wilkes said many of the employees had just started their shifts and were entering the building as it was being evacuated.

HAWKLINK (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
More than 320 students have signed up for membership in the HAWK Link program at orientations during the summer, while more were expected to sign up during the two events.

Izaguirre said that most recently HAWK Link added a sophomore transition program, which would ease sophomores into their junior and senior years.
HAWK Link attracted multicultural student organizations to publicize events and issues at Take Over The Beach. Those that showed up included the Office of Multicultural
Affairs, the Black Student Union,
the Htispanic American Leadership

Remstatement Committee denied the final appeal by the University to give the defensive lineman an extra year of eligibility.
Later, a judge in the U.S. District Court refused to award Butler an injunction that would allow him to continue practicing with the team while a pending lawsuit is resolved, according to officials in the Kansas Athletics Department.
Butler has sued the University and the NCAA in an effort to gain a sixth year of eligibility because of a pregnancy waiver that allows female athletes an extra year of eligibility if they become pregnant at some point during their college career.
After the birth of his daughter in October 2011, Butler took a year
off from school before attending Avila University in 2003, where he played football. Butler is arguing that because he took a year off to care for his family, he should be allowed leave like a female athlete would have. By not giving Butler an extra year, he is arguing the NCAA is violating his Title IX rights.
Butler, who played all 12 games last season with the Jayhawks, started his eligibility clock in 2001 when he enrolled at DVry in Kansas City, Mo. Athletes are allowed five years to play four seasons once they begin college. Butler's fifth year ended after
last season. However, Butler is arguing that he deserves an extra year,
The NCAA did not agree with that reasoning. Erik Christianson, director for public and media relations for the NCAA, would not comment beyond the NCAA's previous statement on the issue.
"The pregnancy exception is explicitly written for female students whose physical condition due to pregnancy prevents their participation in intercollegiate athletics, and therefore is not applicable in this case," the statement reads.
The athletic department first
appealed the ruling to NCAA staff in June, and the NCAA denied the appeal. The final appeal was to the NCAA Reinstatement Committee. It told the athletic department Tuesday that the rule was written for female students only.
"We are disappointed in the NCAA committee's decision," Marchiony said. "We think the young man accepted responsibility as he should have and he's a good kid trying to do the right thing. It's unfortunate that he's not going to get another year to play. Wed like to see that happen."
The only chance Butler has now
to continue his career is if he wins his lawsuit. When reached Wednesday by The University Daily Kansan, Butler's attorney, Tarun Mehta, would not comment on whether they would continue with the lawsuit.
"We're disappointed and respectively disagree with the ruling," Mehta said of the refusal of an injunction.

Summer in review: Randle leaves KU; Gordon injures ankle with Vikings
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
The summer months are a slow time for college sports, but that doesn't mean nothing happened of importance. The University Daily Kansan kept tabs on Jayhawk sports throughout the summer, including these stories and many more available online at Kansan.com.
Randle led the Jayhawks in rushing in 2004, but was plagued by off-the-field legal problems. Randle was suspended from the team before the 2005 season. He remained on scholarship during that time.
Randle transfers to SIU:
Former Kansas running back John Randle transferred to Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, IL.
Randle will be eligible to play immediately at SIU and has two years of NCAA eligibility remaining. In a statement released by the University, SIU coach Jerry Kill said he envisioned Randle playing as a multi-purpose back.
"After sitting out last year, it's going to take him a little while to get into it" Kill said. "But he could make an impact later on in the season."
Gordon injures knee.
Gordon injures knee.
Former Jayhawk football player Charles Gordon injured his left knee in a pressason practice with the Minnesota Vikings. He will be unable to play for the remainder of the pressason.
Gordon left Kansas before his senior year to jump to the NFL but was not selected during the league's draft. The Vikings brought him to their training camp to try out for the team. Gordon could still be named to the team's practice squad.

Freshman middle blocker uses family volleyball to regain confidence
BY DREW DAVISON
Brittany Williams was in Lawrence, like most KU students, the weekend Hurricane Katrina hit. Unlike most students, Williams, a New Orleans native, was on her official recruitment visit with the KU volleyball team.
"Hurricane Katrina was coming into the Gulf, and it was coming in around Friday," Williams, a 6-foot-1 freshman middle blocker, said of the weekend. "By the time I was ready to go home, it was at least eight or nine hours outside of the city. We had to wait and see if it was safe for me to fly home, and I was able to get back home. At the calm of the storm, I was able to get with my parents, and we drove to Atlanta where we stayed the rest of the year."
In Atlanta, Williams said the hospitality she received was a blessing from God.

They gave us free uniforms and free books," Williams said. "It was just such a blessing and such an opportunity. I made sure I took the opportunity the fullest, and I even made sure I played volleyball there for them."
"You don't think about things so much, you just think about the game, whatever is outside you deal with after the game."
"It was very hard, to the point, at one point, I just shut down," she said. "I watched television that very first week and saw family members and friends at the convention center and the Superdome."
While her two homes were still standing, Katrina took nearly everything from Williams and her family. Williams said after the hurricane her dad was in New Orleans trying to fix up their property, so her mom stayed with her and her brother, Byron Jr., in Atlanta. Because her mom devoted herself to her children, she was not able to get a job in Atlanta during the school year.

Guesswork should end soon for idle University sports fans

There is not a bigger time for speculation in college athletics than the final few weeks of summer. Even the slightest ripple of news about the two big sports at the University — football and basketball — cause major waves this time of year.

Eighteen-inning games make history
Astros, Cubs, Rockies and Diamondbacks set amazing National League record
BY MIKE FITZPATRICK ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Houston Astros and Chicago Cubs played on and on, long after Roger Clemens left and Brad Lidge blew another save.
And they weren't alone.
Nine innings, 12, 15 ... 18!
For the first time in major league history Tuesday night, two games on the same day lasted 18 innings. The other was in Colorado, where the Arizona Diamondbacks pulled quit a 2-1 victory at 12:26 a.m. MDT.
About 45 minutes earlier, Chicago outlasted Houston 8-6 thanks to two big swings by Matt Murton. He hit a tying homer off Lidge in the top of the ninth and a two-run single in the 18th.
"I was a little tired," Murton said. "That's just part of the game. You have to find a way to get over it. It was a great night in the sense we were able to win a game like that."
At Coors Field, the longest game in Rockies history finally ended after Luis Gonzalez's RBI single off Ramon Ramirez (3-3).
There were 15 pitchers and 514 pitches. Gonzalez was 0-for-7 before his decisive hit.
“This,” Colorado's Cory Sullivan said, “was a war of attrition.”
Same thing in Houston, where the Cubs and Astros played the longest regular-season game in the six-year history of Minute Maid Park.
By the end, Chicago manager Dusty Baker was down to his last pitcher — and player — Rich Hill, who was slated to start Wednesday afternoon. Thanks to Murton, Hill (3-5) only had to throw 28 pitches, shutting out the Astros in the 17th and 18th.
The teams used 18 pitchers in all, tying an NL record. Hill finally ended it after 5 hours, 36 minutes, by striking out Morgan Ensberg at 12:41 a.m. CDT on the game's 542nd pitch.
The Cubs and Astros weren't going to get much sleep, either. The finale of their three-game series was scheduled to begin at 1:05 p.m. CDT on Wednesday.
"We played hard and had great pitching performances. It was just a tough one to lose," Houston manager Phil Garner said.
It was Houston's third 18-inning game in 10 months. The Astros outlasted Atlanta 7-6 in a home playoff game last October to advance to the NL championship series, and lost 8-7 in 18 innings at Pittsburgh on May 27.
Murton sent this one to extras with a leadoff homer in the ninth off Lidge, who blew a save in a game Clemens started for the second time in a month.
The Rocket was long gone by the time Dave Borkowski (1-1) came on to pitch the final six innings for the Astros, who lost their fourth straight.
Fans streamed out of the ballpark by the hundreds after each half inning, and only a few thousand were still around to see Murton's go-ahead hit.
In Denver, only about 3,000 fans among the announced crowd of 22,076 remained for the final out of Arizona's victory.
Brandon Medders (5-2) struck out four in three hitless innings for the win. Diamondbacks relievers allowed six hits in 12 shutout innings, striking out 13 and walking four in a game that lasted 5 hours, 21 minutes.
Research by the Elias Sports Bureau determined it was the first time two games on the same day lasted as long as 18 innings. Still, they were not the longest games in the majors this season — the Chicago White Sox beat Boston 6-5 in 19 innings on July 9.

Broncos' Dayne hopes to return to starting lineup
BY PAT GRAHAM
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — The limp betrayed Ron Dayne's attempt to act like he was feeling all right.
Dayne, who injured his toe in the preseason opener against Detroit, struggled to climb the steps leading to the cafeteria Wednesday, using the railing for support.
"I'm feeling better," said the Denver Broncos running back, who has missed the last four practices with the turf-toe injury. "It's getting stronger."
"I don't think (I'll play)." Dayne said. "We'll see."
But it's not strong enough to play in Saturday's preseason game against Tennessee.
"Hopefully I can get back and be ready to go," Daayne said.
Given the way the Bells — Mike and Tatum — are running, Dayne's aspirations of being the feature back in Denver may be fading. Still, he's not quite ready to give up, holding onto hope that it's not too late for him to make a push for the starting job.
Mike Bell, the rookie who was handed the starting job last week, is turning heads, as is Tatum Bell. Cedric Cobbs is coming along and newcomer Damien Nash is looking solid in practice.
Frustration hasn't set in with Dayne yet. The former Wisconsin great, who rushed for an NCAA Division-I regular season record of 6,397 yards in his career and won
the 1999 Heisman Trophy, is maintaining a cool and calm demeanor.
At least on the outside.
"I can't complain," Dayne said. "I can just try to get better; try to get it feeling stronger."
Denver coach Mike Shanahan figured Dayne would be back by now. A few days off and hed be back to work.
"It's a temporary setback," Shanahan said on Sunday. "But he should be OK."
Dayne can't even say how the injury occurred. He thought someone may have fallen on the toe during the Lions game, when he had five carries for 12 yards.
One of the reasons Denver cut ties with Mike Anderson was because of his similarity in style to Dayne, who showed flashes of what he could bring to the field last season. His 55-yard run in overtime against Dallas on Thanksgiving Day set up a game-winning field by Jason Elam.
Dayne also had a crucial 10-yard carry on a fourth-and-1 play against San Diego on Sept. 18 that put the Broncos in position for a winning kick.
Once Anderson was out of town, it looked like a two-back race for the starting job — Dayne and Tatum Bell. Then Mike Bell squeezed his way into the mix, and Dayne fell all the way to third string.
"I had a couple bad days (of practice) and I think that's what kind of set me back." Dayne said. "I've just got to get back on track."

Trio of champions prepare to meet in the final major of the season
BY ANDREW SELIGMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEDINAH, ILL. — Tiger Woods remembers the encounter. It was epic, a real back-and-forth contest with Phil Mickelson at a big event.
ASSOCIATED PRES
They were playing pingpong at the Presidents Cup.
Imagine the intensity when they square off today at the PGA Championship, considering how rarely Woods and Mickelson go head-to-head in a major.
"Phil and I went at it quite a few times," Woods said. "We had fun."
Jeff Sluman remembers Woods and Mickelson "sweating it" over three "hard-fought games."
"I think that the PGA has everything under control safety-wise," Mickelson said. "That would be the only concern. But I think it should be fine and a lot of fun."
The PGA Championship traditionally puts together the three major champions of the year for the first two rounds, and this year it has a doozy.
Woods, the British Open champion, is fresh off consecutive victories that brought him his 11th major at Royal Liverpool and his 50th career PGA Tour title at the Buick Open.
Mickelson, the Masters champion and last year's PGA winner, is the greatest threat to Woods' throne.
And somewhere in the mix is U.S. Open champion GEOgilvy.
friendly Mickelson have been rivals for the better part of the last decade, but this will be only the 14th time they have played together and their third meeting in a major.
They last met at a major in the final round of the 2001 Masters, where Woods was going for an unprecedented fourth consecutive major and Mickelson, who had stopped two of Woods' streaks, was one shot behind. Woods pulled away with mistake-free golf on the back nine for a two-shot victory.
"I was lucky enough to win, but to be able to go down the stretch in a major championship is always fun," Woods said. "With a talent like Phil, you always know you have to play your best in order to come out on top."
According to Mickelson's coach and short-game guru, Dave Pelz, told the Chicago Tribune in Tuesday's editions that might not be enough.
"I'm thinking nobody can beat him," Pelz said.
The ruthless Woods and fan-
And that includes Woods, who has 11 majors to Mickelson's three.
"I think I'm pretty tough to beat when I'm playing well, too," Woods countered.
For now, Woods and Mickelson aren't putting much stock into the matchup.
"When you're playing against ... those guys in a major, down the stretch on Sunday, now we've got everything on the line," Woods said. "But on a Thursday and Friday, you're just getting started."
Mickelson said, "What I would love to see happen is to see both of us play well, and both have a chance, and be paired in later groups."

MEN'S BASKETBALL Jankovich considered for Sadler's UTEP job
The University of Texas-El Paso lost coach Doc Sadler to the Big 12 early last week when Sadler was hired to fill the men's basketball coaching vacancy at Nebraska.
Later in the week, UTEP tapped the Big 12 and nearly found Sadler's replacement In Kansas assistant Tim Jankovich.
UTEF ultimately hired Memphis assistant Tony Barbee to lead the program. UTEP interviewed seven other candidates for the coaching position. Barbee is the school's first African-American men's basketball coach. In addition to Jankovich, candidates from the Big 12 included Texas &M assistant Alvin Brooks and Texas assistant Rodney Terry.
ESPN's Andy Katz reported that UTEP interviewed Jankovich in Dallas on Friday. Kansas coach Bill Self confirmed Jankovich's contact with the school and said Jankovich was very excited about the opportunity.
— Shawn Shroyer
Jankovich is heading into his fourth year on the Kansas coaching staff. Self told the Lawrence Journal-World that Jankovich was just as excited to be sticking around at Kansas for the upcoming season.
SWIMMING Women wind up first in academics
Balancing academics and athletics can be tough to accomplish, but the Kansas swimming and diving team excelled at it last season.
The team's 3.39 grade point average was higher than any other athletic team at the University of Kansas last season. Among swimming and diving programs, Kansas' GPA ranked first in the Big 12 and 22nd In Division I.
"Every semester, our number-one goal as a team is to have the highest GPA," said coach Clark Campbell in response to the teams academic success in a press
release. "We are very happy with both our team and individual honors."
Individually, eight KU swimmers earned All-American status in the 2005-06 season. Sophomore Ashley Leidigh was the only Academic All-American while seven others earned Academic All-American Honorable Mention, including two of last season's seniors, Emily Rusch and Lindsey Urbatchka, current senior Jenny Short, junior Lauren Bonfe and Terri Schramka, and sophomores Molly Brammer and Danielle Herrmann.
Coaches Campbell and Eric Elliot will lead the team during the 2006-07 season and hope to continue the success witnessed last season.
The team opens the season Oct. 6 with the intrasquad meet and will travel to Lincoln, Neb., for the Big 12 Relays on Oct. 13.

Freshman running back looks sharp early
Jake Sharp begins his KU career as one of the best players in Kansas high school football history
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Jake Sharp takes everything seriously.
Whether it's taking snaps at running back with the offense or just running sprints before wrapping up practice, the freshman is intense.
"I guess that's kind of the way I've been brought up." Sharp said. "It's how I've been taught the game of football. It's not a game for boys."
That. intensity doesn't mean he can't have some fun, though.
"I go out there and focus on the task at hand and try and balance it with as much horseplay as possible," Sharp said.
All games and horseplay aside, Sharp's intensity at practice is hard not to notice. For him KU Football is a learning experience, a chance for one of the most successful running backs in the history of Kansas high schools to prove himself at the college level.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said he had already seen Sharp's "game face" in practice.
"He is so serious in practice every day," Mangino said. "I'll be interested to see what he looks like on game day"
Mangino has certainly been impressed with Sharp in practices so far this month. At Big 12 Football Media Day in Kansas City, Mo. last month, Mangino called Sharp the hardest-working freshman hed ever seen.
"He wants to get in the mix and play," Mangino said. "He is certainly competing."
In an open practice for fans and media on Aug. 5, Sharp took several reps in the backfield with the third-team offense. His speed was evident as he made cuts to the right side of the offensive line and exploded through holes for long downfield runs.
Sharp's work ethic during less than a month of practice has already impressed his teammates, including redshirt freshman quarterback Kerry Meier.
"These first couple of practices, he's, showcased his talent," Meier said. "He's a very talented man and I'm looking forward to great things from him."
While it's possible for Sharp to
see some time in the backfield this season, it's more likely that he'll play on the special teams unit or possibly take a redshirt. In addition to his running back duties, he has already practiced as a punt and kick returner. Sharp said he'd be open to the possibility of being a Jayhawk for five seasons.
"If I would redshirt, I'd get anoth
"If I would redshirt, I'd get another year here. But then again, if I wouldn't redshirt, it'd be nice to play because I'm not a guy that likes to watch from the sidelines."

er year here," Sharp said. "But then again, if I wouldn't redshirt, it'd be nice to play because I'm not a guy that likes to watch from the sidelines?"
Watching from the sidelines was hardly a part of Sharp's high school career.
Sharp arrived in Lawrence as one of Kansas' top high-school running backs. He was named the Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Kansas in 2005. The Salina native also set a state record with 63 career touchdowns and is the second leading rusher in Kansas state high school history. His team, Salina Central High School, went undefeated last season and captured the Kansas 5A state title.
The adjustment from high school to college hasn't been easy, despite his success and reputation. Practices have been long, but Sharp admitted it has been a valuable learning experience. He said the transition has been made easier because of the workload in high school.
"Coming up here, it's much more of a challenge," Sharp said. "I'm lucky, coming from a program where we lifted and ran a lot, but some guys aren't lucky enough to come from a big school, so it takes a little longer for them to make gains."

Football Notes:
Senior offensive lineman David Ochoa was named to the Lombardi Award watch list. The Lombardi Award honors the top lineman in college football. Ochoa — an All-Big 12 honorable mention selection last season — was also named to the Outland Trophy and Rimington Trophy watch lists. As a junior, Ochoa started all 12 games at center for the Jayhawks last season.
Open practice on Friday:
The Kansas football team will host its second open practice of the season for fans and media on Friday beginning at 3:40 p.m. Practice will be held at the practice fields near Hoglund Ballpark. Following practice, Mangino will be the guest at a kick-off rally at the Corinth square parking lot, 83rd Street and Mission Road, in Prairie Village, from 6 to 8 p.m.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Cowboys have experienced youth, but few seniors Heavy in underclassmen, Oklahoma State predicted to finish fifth in Big 12 South conference
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of Big 12 previews by Kansan football writer Shawn Shrover. Look for his previews in the next 11 issues of The University Daily Kansan.
This season, Ohio State is considered a national championship contender, whereas Big 12 media predict Oklahoma State will finish fifth in the Big 12 South.
Two seasons ago, Oklahoma State played Ohio State in the Alamo Bowl and lost 33-7. The two OSU programs have gone in opposite directions since.
Nevertheless, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy is confident his second season will be better than his first, when the Cowboys went 4-7 overall and 1-7 in the Big 12.
"We're a better football team than we were at the end of the season," Gundy said. "We're more mature in areas that I think make a big difference."
Those areas include quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end and center. Oklahoma State had freshmen starting at each of those positions last season. Some struggled, while others flourished, but all are trying to improve as sophomores.
Sophomore Bobby Reid appeared in seven games last year, starting five. The highlight of Reid's season was leading Oklahoma State to an upset victory against Texas Tech when he completed 10 of 18 passes for one
touchdown and no interceptions.
For the season, however, Reid completed just 48.1 percent of his passes, threw four interceptions to two touchdowns and was sacked 15 times.
Those sacks were a result of inexperience on the offensive line, as center David Washington was only a freshman. Reid hopes the year of experience translates into him staying on his feet more often.
What could complicate matters on the line again this year are freshmen Brady Bond, Noah Franklin and Jacob Secrest, who are fighting for the two guard spots.
Despite their youth, senior offensive lineman Corey Hilliard said they're looking good and, as a result, Reid has looked better this spring.
"They'll be all right, I have all the confidence in the world in those guys," Hilliard said.
In the backfield, sophomore Mike Hamilton is coming off a freshman campaign that left him just 39 yards short of a 1,000-yard rushing season. Hamilton averaged five yards per carry and was the team's second-leading receiver with 20 receptions, but he was only able to break into the end zone once.
Reid should have more receiving options this season. Receiver D'Juan Woods is entering his senior season after racking up nearly 900 receiving yards and eight touchdowns last year.
Joining Woods are sophomore Ricky Price and junior Adarius

Bowman. Price had 16 catches for 238 yards as a freshman, while Bowman had to sit out a year after transferring from North Carolina. In two years at North Carolina, Bowman caught 28 balls for 510 yards and five touchdowns.
Gundy is eager to see what extra element Bowman can add to the offense.
"When there's guys that make plays with the ball in their hand, that makes you look a lot better, and he's
the guy that can contribute to that." Gundy said.
Also getting into the mix will be sophomore tight end Brandon Pettigrew. Pettigrew had 11 receptions for 128 yards and a touchdown as a freshman.
This combination of experienced youth with seniors like Woods and Hilliard has the Cowboys looking to tear up defenses in 2006.
"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.
Oklahoma State's defense should be more experienced than its offense, but not by much.
The Cowboys have seven returning starters on defense, but only four of the seven are seniors and all four are on the defensive line. To fill in behind them, Gundy will be throwing some youngsters on the field and moving players to new positions.
Junior linebacker Rodrick Johnson is Oklahoma State's top returning tackler from 2005, but joining him will be freshman Chris Collins and junior Jeremy Nethon, who took a redshirt last season and is converting to linebacker from safety.
Sophomore Calvin Mickens and junior Martel Van Zant are returning starters at corner and sophomore Jacob Lacey should see significant playing time with them.
Junior Donovan Woods is a retuning starter at strong safety, but alongside him will be freshman Andre Sexton.
Opposing offenses may take advantage of Oklahoma State's young secondary, but the Cowboys should be able to s'uff the run with the likes of senior defensive tackle Ryan McBean.
"I think we've got some of the best ends," Hilliard said. "And in Ryan McBean, he's probably one of the best d-tackles in the conference. He's going to have a breakout year."
In 2006, the key to success for the Cowboys will be avoiding the kinds of mistakes young teams are prone to committing.
邑
Last season, turnovers killed the Cowboys on offense and the defense gave up too many big plays.
Gundy and Hillard say the team has improved in the turnover category. If it hasn't, the Cowboys will be at home for the second straight winter.

Owens returns to the Cowboys
AFFORDABLE EDUCATION WITHIN 15 MILES OF LAWRENCE IN PERRY, KS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Terrell Owens ditched the bike and got back onto the field for the Dallas Cowboys
He did keep them waiting, though.
Edmonds underwent an MRI exam of his head Tuesday night that showed normal function, then had another battery of medical tests on Wednesday to rule out other potential sources of his problem, including diabetes, other nutrition issues or an Infection. He was not in the lineup against the Cincinnati Reds, and the team said he was day-to-day.
Owens, who missed 14 straight practices because of a hamstring problem, was the last player on the field Wednesday in Oxnard, Calif. He did ride the stationary bicycle on the sideline, where he's spent the last two weeks, but this time just for a quick warm-up before the only practice of the day, his first since Aug. 2.
"That doesn't mean he would play," Parcells said. "He has missed a lot of time. It wouldn't be so much whether he practiced or not as to how he looked, how much he practiced and did he get enough practice to make a good judgment about playing him."
Edmonds diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome
Coach Bill Parcels wasn't sure if Owens' return to practice meant he'd be available for Monday night's game against New Orleans.
St. Louis Cardinals center fielder Jim Edmonds, who was removed from Tuesday night's game after complaining of dizziness and blurred vision, has been diagnosed as suffering from post-concussion syndrome.

Chiefs coach returns to New York tonight to face Giants
New York Giants quarterback Rob Johnson will return to the field after a more than two-year abscence due to injury
BY TOM CANAVAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
ALBANY, N.Y. — More than two years after appearing in his last game and 18 months after having a tendon transplanted in his elbow, Rob Johnson will try to show the New York Giants he still can play quarterback.
Chiefs coach Herm Edwards also will be making his return to Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., tonight, but he has a lot less to prove.
Johnson will continue his comeback from Tommy Johnstyle elbow surgery when the Giants (1-0) play host to Kansas City (0-1) in a preseason game that marks the return of Edwards to the New York-metropolitan area after five up-and-
down seasons with the Jets.
"Oh, I am going to be nervous," said the 33-year-old Johnson. "If you are not nervous, it's not important."
This is a very important game for the 10-year veteran who last played on Dec. 22, 2003, appearing in relief for Oakland in a Monday night game. That was the game Brett Favre threw four touchdowns a day after his father died.
Johnson's career was in doubt at that point. A severely frayed elbow tendon left him with little feeling in his right hand. It was so bad he couldn't pump gas. He needed rehabilitation, surgery and more rehab to get back into football.
The Giants signed him in May.
"I'll go in there and play like I used to play, try to make some plays, try to make big plays," Johnson said. "That's what I like to do. I am not going to go in there with a negative mindset that I can't do this and can't do that."
Johnson has been inconsistent battling Tim Hasselbeck and Jared Lorenzen for the No. 2 spot behind Eli Manning. Johnson has made quick decisions, but the two-a-day workouts have tested his arm. His long passes have been wobbly.
"He's rusty, obviously, because he hasn't had an entire couple of years of being at this," said Giants coach Tom Coughlin, who also had Johnson in Jacksonville in the mid 1990s. "He's very hard on himself, very impatient. He does some good things, and then, of course, he does some things that are not so hot. He's getting there."
Manning will start the game. Johnson will replace him in what might be his only chance to impress the Giants, since Manning will see the majority of action against the Jets next week.
Edwards has a lot less riding on the game.
"I'm going to enjoy going back," he said. "I've got a lot of friends that are still there. I had a great stay there and enjoyed it there, but things changed."
While Edwards led the Jets to three playoff appearances, he was ushered out after a 4-12 mark last season. Kansas City
gave New York a fourth-round draft pick to get him released from the final two years of his contract.
Edwards is trying to lead the Chiefs to the playoffs for the first time since 2003. They missed last year under Dick Vermell despite 10 wins.
Kansas City did not play well in a 24-14 loss to Houston last weekend. The defense, which Edwards has sworn to improve, allowed the Texans to hold the ball for nearly 36 minutes.
The Giants expect halfback Tiki Barber and tight end Jeremy Shockey to play this week, putting all 11 starters from last year back in the lineup.
That should test Kansas City's pass defense, which supposedly was upgraded with the addition
of cornerback Ty Law.
Both teams need help at defensive tackle.
Baltimore averaged 5.3 yards rushing last weekend against the Giants, which means the Chiefs' Larry Johnson might have a big night, even with Pro Bowl left tackle Willie Roaf retired and Pro Bowl guard Brian Waters hurt. Barber could be a headache for Kansas City.
Whatever happens, Edwards intends to enjoy the game, like he did coaching in New York.
"It's not hard. It's fun. It's New York," Edwards said. "I think if you're honest with people, forthright with people and do things your way, you're fine. I enjoyed it. I learned a lot being the head coach up there."

COLLEGE SPORTS
Watching games away from home The Internet allows small colleges to televise their games nationwide
BY PAT EATON-ROBB ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
"They always want to know, 'Are you on TV? Can I get the games?' Siedlecki said.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — When Yale football coach Jack Siedlecki goes on a national recruiting trip, he hears the same questions over and over from parents.
With the exception of the game against rival Harvard, the answer is usually, "No."
The big TV networks simply aren't interested in the little tv League.
But the Ivy League and other small conferences may have found a way around that — the Internet.
Many schools, and now some conferences, have begun showing football and other sports on their Web sites.
"We can produce our own television and reach, literally, the entire world on the Web, without having to go through the issues of, is there cable availability? Is there satellite availability? Is there advertising support?" said Jeff Orleans, commissioner of the Ivy League.
He expects most of the league's sporting events will be online within seven years.
Big Sky Conference's Northern Arizona offered webcasts of home football games last year. Using the four cameras already set up to provide replays on the stadium scoreboard, the school added audio from its radio broadcasts along with continually updated statistics.
"Our fans love it," said Steven Shaff, a spokesman for the school's athletic department. "We had people in Alaska, parents of students in Canada, watching our games last year."
This season, the entire nine-school Big Sky Conference will webcast all football, basketball and volleyball games, using technology from Salt Lake City-based SportsCast Network LLC.
Fans will be able to choose which team's audio feed to which to listen. Games will be archived and can be downloaded to portable devices like Apple Computer Inc's iPod.
"This is the future," Big Sky Commissoner Doug Fullerton said. "The fan will decide what they are going to watch and when they are going to watch it."
Contrast that with television, where only a handful of games each week are chosen for national broadcast, primarily featuring Top 25 Division I-A teams.
The financial setup is different from traditional television contracts, in which networks pay a flat fee for broadcast rights. In the Big Sky contract, the schools keep the rights and provide feeds to SportsCast, which processes the video for viewing online.
The schools sell advertising and charge a subscription fee — it's $60 to follow one Big Sky school all year. The schools share profits with
SportsCast.
Until recently putting sports online had not been practical. Not enough people had high-speed Internet connections.
That's changed. According to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, 62 percent of U.S. Internet users now have broadband at home, compared with 21 percent just four years ago.
SportsCast isn't alone.
Online video technology also has improved, allowing for bigger, sharper pictures that take up much less bandwidth, said Michael Begley, the CEO and founder of SportsCast.
The NCAA last year contracted with Charleston, S.C.-based Penn Atlantic LLC to help show some of its Division II and III basketball championships. The Division III semifinal games last March had 49,000 people log on, said Jack Pennington, the chief executive of Penn Atlantic.
Fans of larger schools will see more games as well.
His company will be webcasting 39 Western Athletic Conference football games this year.
This fall, ESPN's new online channel, ESPN 360, will show 30 football games, 10 of them, involving teams such as Virginia Tech, Purdue, Miami and Minnesota, exclusively on that Web site. The site, available to about 6 million homes, will also have such features as chat rooms, statistics and online polls.
"It truly is interactive television," said Tanya Van Court, ESPN's vice president and general manager of Broadband and Interactive Television. "It really gives you all the best things about the Internet, with all the best things about television."
For several years, ESPN also has offered games that are televised only regionally to cable and Internet viewers on a pay-per-view basis.
"Even with the number of networks that we have on television, we still don't have the capacity to put on every sporting event that we think our fans want to see," she said.
She said schools' willingness to show their own games online indicates demand not only for the games but also for the new platform.
The schools also don't see the Web replacing television. Major conferences make millions of dollars from their football and basketball television contracts, but many also plan to webcast other sports, such as volleyball or swimming.
The Big Ten Conference announced plans this summer create its own cable channel for minor sports. The Big Ten Channel also will be available through the Internet, iPods, cell phones and other technologies, the league said.
"There's still nothing like sitting in your chair and watching high-definition football on TV," said Jon Kasper, a spokesman for the Big Sky Conference. Conference. "But for our fans that don't have that option, this is the wave of the future."

SAN FRANCISCO
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The San Francisco Giants' Barry Bonds watches his solo home run against the San Diego Padres during the first inning of their baseball game Wednesday, Aug. 16, 2006, in San Diego.
Bonds ends homerless streak Giants' slugger now 31 home runs shy of Aaron's record
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Barry Bonds hit his 724th career home run Wednesday night, a solo shot leading off the second inning against San Diego's Chan Ho Park.
Bonds is now 31 shy of tying home run king Hank Aaron's record of 755. Bonds has 16 homers this season for the San Francisco Giants.
Park has allowed eight career homers to Bonds, tying him for the most with Greg Maddux, Terry Mulholland, Curt Schilling and John Smoltz.
The 42-year-old Bonds hadn't homered since Aug. 4 against Colorado.
The homer gave Bonds 1,903 RBIs, tying him for seventh on the career list with his godfather, Willie Mays.
Orioles 3. Yankees 2
It was Bonds' 84th homer and 208th RBI against San Diego, his most against any opponent.
His 44 homers in San Diego are his most in road city. It was fifth in three seasons at Petco Park.
Adam Loewen beat the Yankees for the second time in August, and four Baltimore relievers combined for shutout relief in a a 3-2 victory Wednesday night that stopped the Orioles' five-game losing streak.
New York's AL East lead over the second-place Red Sox was cut to two games. After playing the Orioles on Thursday, the Yankees head to Boston for a five-game series that opens with a day-night doubleheader Friday.
Making his 14th major league appearance, Loewen (3-4) threw a career-high 107 pitches, allowing two runs and four hits with five strikeouts in 5 2-3 innings. On Aug. 5, he yielded one hit over 6 1-3 innings during a 5-0 win over New York at Camden Yards.
Todd Williams, Tim Byrdak,
LaTroy Hawkins and Chris Ray finished,
with Ray getting six outs for his 28th save in 30 chances. The bullpen, which has the worst ERA in the American League, blew a two-run lead for Erik Bedard on Tuesday night in a 6-3 loss.
Baltimore built a 3-0 lead with runs in the first three innings against Cory Lidle (1-2).
Red Sox 6, Tigers 4
David Ortiz hit his major league-leading 42nd home run and David Wells pitched into the seventh, helping the Boston Red Sox avoid a sween.
Coco Crisp put the Red Sox on top with a two-run' double in the sixth for Boston. Ortiz hit a two-run shot off Justin Verlander (14-6) into the Red Sox bullpen in the fifth to give Boston a 3-1 lead. He also leads the majors in RBIs with 113.
Magglio Ordonez, and Brent Clevlen homered for the Tigers.
Wells (2-2), making his four start since coming off the disabled list July 31, gave up four runs on 10 hits with one walk and three strikeouts.
Craig Hansen got four outs and Jonathan Papelbon worked the ninth for his 32nd save in 37 chances.
Devil Rays 8, Blue Jays 3
James Shields threw six solid innings to stop his six-game losing streak and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays ended their seven-game skid.
Shields (5-6) allowed three runs — one earned — and four hits in his first win since June 21. He had been winnless in nine starts after winning four straight outings.
Damon Hollins hits his career-high 14th homer for the Devil Rays, who are 9-22 since the All-Star break.
Toronto got a solo home run from Bengie Molina. The Blue Jays are 7-3 since a season-worst seven-game losing streak.
Phillies 3, Mets 0
- Jonny Gomes and Jorge Cantu had consecutive RBI doubles before Hollins hit a two-run homer off Ted Lilly (10-11) to put the Devil Rays ahead 4-0 in the first.
Jon Lieber pitched his first shut-out in more than five years, Chris Coste hit a two-run homer and Philadelphia Phillies won their third straight over the New York Mets.
The Phillies thumped the Mets by a combined 24-4 score in the first two games of the series — hardly indicative of a team that trails NL East-leading New York by 12 games.
Lieber (5-9) was terrific, putting together his third straight solid start since an awful outing against Florida on the day of the trade deadline. He scattered five hits, walked none and struck out four for his second complete game this season and first shutout since May 24, 2001, with the Chicago Cubs.
Lieber threw 72 of his 101 pitches for strikes in a game that took just 2 hours, 3 minutes.
Tom Glavine (12-6) took the loss despite an effective seven-inning stint.
Brian Schneider padded Washington's lead with a three-run shot off reliever Ken Ray after two walks in the seventh, the catcher's first homer since July 9.
Nationals 9, Braves 6
Eight members of Washington's starting nine reached base against Smoltz (10-6), and the Nationals batted around in a four-run second inning. Zimmerman drove in one run with an infield single in that inning, and he hit a two-run shot in the fourth for his 16th homer.
Ryan Zimmerman homered and singled to raise his rookie-leading RBI total to 78, and the Washington Nationals handed John Smoltz his first loss in more than two months.
Washington starter Billy Traber (3-1) earned his second consecutive victory despite allowing five runs
Bronson Arroyo ended a 10-start winless slump and Edwin Encarnacion hit two of Cincinnati's five home runs, leading the Reds over St. Louis 7-2 Wednesday night and cutting the Cardinals' lead in the NL Central to 1/12 games.
Reds 7, Cardinals 2
— four earned — over 5 2-3 innings.
He gave up six hits and one walk and hit two batters.
All of the Reds' homers came in the first five innings. Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 24th to the Pete Rose for 20th place with 1,041 extra-base hits, and Rich Aurilia and Adam Dunn also
The Reds are 9-5 against the Cardinals headed into Thursday's series finale, also the final game between the teams this season.
connected.
The Cardinals, who scored both of their runs on bases-loaded groundouts, are 26-31 against a division they dominated last year with a 51-29 record.
Arroyo (10-8), who represented the Reds at the All-Star Game, allowed one run on four hits in seven innings to win for the first time since June 19. He had been 0-5 with a 5.29 ERA during the drought, and gave up three homers in a loss to the Cardinals in his last start.
Arroyo twice got the' best of Albert Pujols, helping keep the Reds in charge. Pujols grounded into a double play in the first after Arroyo walked the first two batters, and grounded into a run-scoring fielder's choice with the bases loaded in the third to cut the Reds' lead to 4-1.
Encarnacion hit two homers for the second time in his career, and second time in five games. He homered well over the visitor's bullpen in left leading off the second against Anthony Reyes (4-6) for the game's first run, and hit a three-run homer in the third for a 4-1 lead.
Aurilia hit his 17th leading off the fourth, and Griffief and Dunn homed off Jorge Sosa in the fifth for a 7-1 cushion. The five-homer game is one off the Reds' season high.
Reyes, who made his 12th career start, endured his shortest outing. In 3 1/3 innings he allowed five runs on four hits, and gave up three of the homers.
Royals 10, White Sox 4
The defending World Series champions have lost two straight to the Royals, who have the worst record in the majors. Just before that, Chicago won five in a row including a three-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers, who own the best mark in the big leagues.
Mark Grudzielanek hit a three-run homer and finished with three hits only hours after agreeing to a contract extension, and Adam Bernero pitched six shutout innings to lead the Kansas City Royals past the Chicago White Sox 10-4 Wednesday night.
The White Sox trail Detroit by 61/2 games in the AL Central. Kansas City, which roughed up Jose Contreras, had lost five straight before beating the White Sox on consecutive nights.
Ryan Shealy also homered for the Royals, who won for just for the fifth time in 17 road games.
Alex Cintron hit a grand slam in the ninth for the White Sox, who set a franchise record with nine slams this season.
Bernero (1-0) won his first game as a starter in the majors since May 31, 2003. His last win came June 18, 2005, with the Braves in Cincinnati.
Bernero, making his second start of the season, held the White Sox to five hits. He struck out six and didn't allow a walk.
Defesus hit a two-run single in the eighth and Mark Teahen added an RBI double to give the Royals a 10-0 lead.

includes Kansas in the top five.
Includes Kansas in the top five. Why shouldn't those publications include the Jayhawks? They will arguably be the deepest team in the country next season, with all key players returning.
Kansas brings in two McDonald's All-Americans who will fight for playing time, which will be hard to come by, a good problem for coach Bill Self. He will have the option to give ten players significant minutes.
Come November, though, the talk ends about who should start, and whether Darrell Arthur is as sick of an athlete as has been described. The Jayhawks will take the floor to determine if all these players can co-exist for 40 minutes and begin working toward winning a national championship.
They will be tested early in Las Vegas when they face the defending national champions, Florida, over Thanksgiving weekend.
Florida is a team that Kansas will want to emulate in the coming season. Last season the Gators were led primarily by sophomores
— much like this year's Jayhawk team — and won a national championship.
Kansas will not be able to travel under the radar at the beginning of this season. Everyone will expect the Jayhawks to be good, and opponents will be gunning for them.
Speculation will also continue for a few more weeks as to the nature of the NCAA sanctions for the football and men's and women's basketball teams after University
officials met with the NCAA last week. Additional sanctions could include loss of scholarships and even postseason bans, which are detrimental to a program.
In the meantime, just sit around, wait, and speculate about the Kansas City Chiefs secondary after their "great" performance against the always "stellar" Houston Texans.
Until then, it is all just speculation. Fans can watch training camp updates of who looks good and who has struggled, but fans now mostly wait until the football season opener against Northwestern State on Sept. 2.

VOLLEYBALL (FROM PAGE 1B)
while her family has held together. Williams used volleyball as a way to get away from the aftermath of the hurricane.
"Every time you get a kill, it just lifts your spirits," she said. "You don't think about things so much, you just think about the game, whatever is outside you deal with after the game."
Coach Ray Bechard said Williams had a great senior season, all things considered, and was excited to have her on the team.
"Brittany is, number one, a great kid to coach," he said. "Her athleticism is a little bit ahead of her technical level, but when those two things collide, or peak, then she's going to be an outstanding player here at Kansas and in the Big 12."
Bechard said Williams had a chance to compete for a starting position in the middle this season.
Williams chose Kansas instead of schools such as Baylor, Georgia Tech and Florida because it was the only place she could see herself at.
Williams seems to be enjoying herself at Kansas. Even though Hurricane Katrina took nearly everything from her, she learned never to give up.
"Things can slow me down but can't stop me," she said. "I have to find a way to get around it. I have to keep towards my goals."
Kansan sportswriter Drew Davison can be contacted at ddavison@kansan.com.

He had surgery last week to repair the injury, which was described as cartilage damage.
Gordon is not the only former Jayhawk hoping to make an NFL team. Linebacker Nick Reid is playing with the Chiefs and wide receiver Mark Simmons is hoping to make the San Diego Chargers' roster.
Defensive ends Charlton Keith and Jermial Ashley also participated in NFL camps. Keith failed a physical, however, and Ashley was cut.
Sprint Center receives big events:
Kansas City's new Sprint Center will open next year with a pair of high-profile events on its schedule.
The Big 12 Conference men's basketball tournament will be held in the arena in 2008. The Big Eight tournament was held annually at Kansas City's Kemper Arena, but the Big 12 has rotated its tournament between Kansas City, Dallas and Oklahoma City.
Assistant Big 12 Commissioner of Communications Bob Burda said that Kansas City could again become the permanent home of the event, although such a move has not been discussed at length.
The American Airlines Arena in Dallas drew rave reviews for its modern facilities, but the tournament received little fan support.

"former Javhawk receiver Charles Gordon injured his ankle while trying out for the minnesota vikinos
the big 12. The fan support is great. The city really gets behind the tournament;" associate athletics director Jim Marchiony told the Kansan.
"Dallas was a good host city, but there wasn't as much fan support."

Multiple bike thefts roll on to campus
BY DAVID LINHARDT
Lennea Carty, Andover senior; wanted to think everyone around her was a decent person. But last weekend, someone stole her bicycle from a Templin Hall bike rack.
The incident is part of a trend of bike thefts that cropped up during the break between the University's summer and fall semesters.
"Right now I'm feeling slightly paranoid," Carty said. "A little bit of my security bubble has been poked through."
campus racks during the last two weeks, including Carty's mountain bike by Giant, according to Public Safety Office reports. Students reported losses of more than $10,000 in bike-related thefts in 2005.
Six bikes have been stolen from
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, public safety officer spokesman, said the thefts were still being investigated.
"Most of the time it's not students who are stealing them," Bailey said.
Carty has ridden her bike on campus for a year — and until earlier this week, she's never worried about losing her ride.
scheme of things, it's only a bicycle," Carty said. "But I would expect the University to protect their students and keep their bikes from being jacked."
Carty has her bike's serial number and has researched bike theft at a Web site called NationalBikeRegistry.
Last year the University installed security cameras that oversee parking lots on campus, but Carty doesn't think they help police track down someone who steals bikes from residence hall bike racks.

More than 1 million bikes are stolen each year, according to the site, and less than half are ever found by police. Most of the bikes police find have no registry numbers or other identification.
National Crime Prevention Council, has dismal news for bike theft victims: only 5 percent of stolen bikes are returned to their owners.

I've swam in the Chi-O fountain. I've eaten at Burrito King at 2 a.m. I've lived on Mass Street.
But, as graduation nears, I wonder if I've really done everything. Coming into my last semester of college, I'm lucky to have the memories that I've made. Maybe I would have been luckier if someone had given me some insight on more things to do.
That's what we decided to give to you. Check out our checklist of 101 things to do before you graduate and take it along with you until graduation, whether you walk down The Hill in one or five years. It's 101 pieces of advice straight from KU students and alum, and there are things you might have otherwise overlooked.
No, I've never actually streaked down Mass Street. And I haven't dated any of my professors. But after reading people's tips, I now know the words to the Jayhawk's fight song and won't have to fake it come basketball season.
Just one more accomplishment before graduation that I can check off my list.

BAR-HOPPING
A sampling of Lawrence salad bars
by Erin Wisdom
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION/JARED GAB
When I was little, my favorite vegetable was lettuce. Never mind that I only liked it on bologna sandwiches and that I never had an inclination to try it in a more natural state, separate from mayonnaise and questionable meat. Even as I grew up and abandoned my affinity for Oscar Mayer, lettuce never became more to me than a garnish, which may explain why I've never taken a liking to salad.
Salad stop one: Dillons
It's become obvious to me, though, that in shunning salad, I may be missing out. Salads are a great way to add variety to meals, says Karen Ciancio, creator of www.cookingnook.com. And in addition to being incredibly customizable, they're usually fairly simple to make — which may appeal to those, like me, whose culinary prowess is less than impressive.
So I decided to hit the bars. The salad bars, that is. Not only to try to add a new facet to my diet, but also to sample and grade a few of Lawrence's salad-offering establishments.
I immediately realized that lettuce might be the least important part of a salad. In fact, had I slipped into my old salad-shunning ways, I might have decided to forgo leafy greens entirely and fill up on pineapple, Cheez-its and pepperoni — all of which the bar offered in abundance. But I didn't. I didn't take advantage of another of the many fruits and try to convince myself that I could use it to fill my dietary need for vegetables either.
Instead, I piled lettuce into one of the clear plastic boxes the bar provided. It was mid-afternoon, and the lettuce supply was running a little low, despite the fact that everything else was well-stocked. This shortage added to the awkwardness of my tong-handling ability as I scraped the corners of the container in hopes of retrieving more than a single lettuce leaf at a time. I told myself that maybe the challenge was part of the fun of the experience, though — like a vegetarian's version of an arcade game.
To my lettuce I added chicken, cherry tomatoes, cheese, croutons and ranch dressing. I would later realize that although
the tomatoes made the salad pretty, they're more difficult to spear with a fork than they're worth. Still, I ate the salad, and I didn't hate it.
Cost: $3.99/lb, and my dignity when a Dillons employee offered to help me with the lettuce.
Benefit: I was exposed to the wonder of banana chips. Fruit should probably never be crispy, but still, I bet you can't eat just one.
Grade:B+
I had to deduct points due to the fact that at the time of my visit, there were no soups available, even though the name "Soup and Salad Bar" promises them.
Salad stop two: Hy-Vee Immediately Hy-Vee's salad
bar scored points by offering me a baked potato (the only vegetable I ever crave) for $.99. But I resisted, not ready to give up on my quest to appreciate the
world's greener vegetables. I circled the bar and found it to be a little messier than Dillons'but in the end, I was too enamored with the pop-up paper plate dispenser to pay much attention to the carrot shreds contaminating the organic tofu.
on for good measure — sort of like a taco salad without the meat.
Having already had one salad that

how easy-access this bar seemed compared to the first one. I attributed this largely to the sneeze guard being higher. Whereas the one at the first bar had cut directly into my line of vision, this one sloped down only as far as my forehead. However, the fact that the sneeze

Benefit: I'm now a member of the Hy-Vee Free Salad Bar Club. Buy nine salads, get the 10th free. I haven't heard yet, but I'm hoping there's a T-sirt.
Grade:A
Location is key even when it comes to salad bars, and this bar's location near Hy-Vee's Chinese and Italian counters earns it extra points. I may have come for salad, but it was nice to know I had options.

Want to add a little kick to your beer? Craig Scott recommends drinking a Michelada —a traditional Mexican, margarita-like drink. The original drink combined normally undrinkable low-quality tequila and low-quality beer, says Scott, former host at Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St. The mixture creates a decent-tasting drink that is more potent than your average beer. Though the quality of ingredients in the drink have been upgraded at Free State, this palatable concoction is also a perfect way to enjoy that cheap,胃-inducing tequila and bland domestic beer collecting dust at your home bar.

There was no fruit to be found here, and in general the bar had a smaller selection than the other two I'd visited. But it did have bamboo chopsticks. And fresh pizza.I'm a bit fuzzy now as to why I thought I could make use of both of these in a single sitting, but somehow I couldn't pass up either:
What captivated me even more was the olive bar next to the salad bar, I don't like olives, but I couldn't walk away. Sixteen kinds of olives, segregated by type and staring up at me as if they wondered if I would take them home. Of course I wouldn't. Even if I could stand their taste, $9.99 per pound is a bit steer for my college-student budget.

Benefit: Even if my membership in the salad bar club at Hy-Vee doesn't garner me a T-shirt, I can always get one at the Merc. My favorite is one with a cow that says,"Eat your greens."
Grade:A-
It's difficult to compare the Merc's salad bar to the other two because it carries a different quality of product.The less-thanperfect score is due to its smaller selection - although,to be fair,I must note that no one else had 16 kinds of olives.

THE WETTER
THE BETTER
How baby oil perks up any party
>
by Liz Nartowicz
Bikini-clad girls covered in baby oil. You've seen them in movies. You've seen them on television. But when was the last time you saw them in your own basement? For Chris Blaskie, Leavenworth Warriors Wrestling Club coach, it was last January.
After racking his brain for a "spectacular" way to usher in the new year, Blaskie took a tip from "Old School" and pushed regular wrestling to the next level. With more than 180 ounces of baby oil, four slick contenders and 50 onlookers, Blaskie quickly discovered that when it came to games, the wetter the better.
Slippin' and a-slidin'
You've always known lubricants perked up a party, even as a kid. Mr. Bubbles turned bath time into hours of underwater adventures. Dawn dish soap transformed a simple Slip 'N Slide into a paramount backyard water ride. So how is it, in the prime of your partying years, you've turned your back on baby oil? Lucky for you, pioneers like Blaskie are rekindling your love for lube and
childhood games by combining the two. By adding a slippery dimension to classic horseplay or Twister, you'll be sure to relive some memories while making new ones with these greased-down grown-up versions.
Any kind of oil, even sweat, is seen as a disadvantage in competitive wrestling, says Chris Price, head coach for Lawrence Coyotes Wrestling Club. Oil gives wrestlers a handicap, making it harder to keep their balance, grab and hold onto their opponent. That is exactly what makes baby oil wrestling better than regular rough housing, says coach Blaskie. Oil increases the difficulty and hilarity of a match by making it less predictable, Blaskie says:
There's no technique when wrestling in oil, just tenacity, says Corey Adkins, two-time champion of Blaskie's competitions.
"You can study Hulk-Hogan tapes all you want, but that won't help you," Adkins says.
Nudity is another adult add-on to up the grappling stakes. In
Blaskie's competitions, women wrestle in swimsuits and taking off an opponent's top is an automatic win. Pinning an opponent for five seconds also counts as a win, but is surprisingly harder to do, champion Adkins says. While the stripping is a crowd pleaser, it can also be cause for hesitation. Several women, including herself, were initially leery about showing skin, Adkins says. To decrease reluctance, Adkins recommends holding the bout somewhere private, with positive people and without any type of recording device. The ideal atmosphere is a windowless, non-carpeted room that can hold a 10-by-10 mat and still have standing room for cheering friends.
Before the greasedown
Besides having the right location and audience, to throw a wrestling party you must prepare beforehand. Don't have anything of value around because it will get greased and possibly ruined, Blaskie says. After one competition, he had to throw out two couches. Besides
saving furniture, removing fixtures will add space for wrestlers and spectators while decreasing the risk of injury. You should also clean the floor thoroughly before and during the matches to avoid injury. Adkins has a scar over her knee from sliding off the mat onto a glass shard during one match. But, even a good sweep of the floor won't ward off injuries.She once saw a girl accidentally rip out another girl's nipple ring during a match, Adkins says.
Once the room is emptied and cleaned, choose a spot in the center of the room to place down pillows as padding and cover it with the tarp. Blaskie says he uses Duct tape to keep the mat in place and avoid injuries from mat slippage. Once everything is in place, it's time to squirt contenders with oil and square off. Blaskie, who has 16 years of amateur wrestling under his belt, says it's safest to do two at a time. Blaskie also recommends having each round last no more than 10 minutes.

After the fact
The best part of this mess is that clean up is relatively easy, Blaskie says. Everything can be thrown away — the tarp, the padding, even the swimsuits, he says, and floors can be washed. The hardest part of cleaning, is getting the oil out of hair, champion Adkins says. It took Adkins three days to get the oil out of her hair and that was with dish soap, which helps cut through the grease.
Oil can up the ante in more than just wrestling. Last summer, Brian Palmer,

A FRIEND'S PARTY. COVERED IN NOTHING BUT HIS SKIVVIES
AND BABY OIL, PALMER REMEMBERED HOW FUN AND
DIFFICULT THE GAME OF PHYSICAL SKILL WAS.
Leavenworth freshman, realized the potential of lubricant and Twister at a friend's party. Covered in nothing but his skivvies and baby oil, Palmer remembered how fun and difficult the game of physical skill was. Slipping and sliding all over the oily mat with four friends, Palmer
saw how baby oil could take an old game and put a new twist on it.
"It's like you're a kid again, but with alcohol and baby oil," Palmer says.
Palmer's wet 'n wild Twister experience opened his eyes to more than just childhood memories, though. It opened his
mind to a world of possibilities. Palmer sees the possibility of strip baby oil Twister, where whenever a person takes a spill, they strip off a piece of oil-soaked clothing. Another olly option is a greased up version of hide-and-seek, where everyone is naked and oiled up. Palmer's idea stems from the incident following his Twister mayhem where friends chased his nude body through the backyard trying to wash him down.
The lesson to be learned from Palmer and others is there's no stopping you when you're greased up and ready to go.

FASHION FIND LEGGINGS ARE BACK
Think of one item of clothing that was popular when you were in grade school and never thought — nor hoped — would come back in style. If you guessed leggings, you would be correct. The lengthy Lyca leg-casings are making their once-in-a-decade victory lap this year, showing up on everyone from anemic models to portly secretaries and everyone in between.
Should you feel the desire to buy into this questionable lapse in the top fashion designers' judgment this season, local
retailers should be carrying the item soon. Katie Zeller, sales clerk at Ginger and Maryanne's, 914 Massachusetts St., says her store should be receiving a few different brands of leggings in September. "It's been coming back along with the straight leg jeans. The two kind of go together with the tapered fit," Zeller says.
Leggings can be paired with loose-fitting dresses or tulip skirts for those not willing to show off every square Inch of their butts.

FIX YOUR FINANCES FOR THE FUTURE
(from Mark Helder, President of Commerce Banks in Lawrence)
I. MAKE SURE ALL OF YOUR BILLS ARE PAID BEFORE YOU LEAVE TOWN.
Unpaid bills left behind in Lawrence can harm your credit rating before you even realize you forgot to pay them.
2.FILE A FORWARDING ADDRESS WHEREVER APPLICABLE.
The US Postal Service will only forward mail for a short time, so it is important that your bank in Lawrence, as well as anywhere that would send you a bill or important documents have a forwarding address on file before you leave town.
3.APPLY FOR AND RECEIVE A CREDIT CARD BEFORE YOU GRADUATE.
If you wait until after you graduate, it may be difficult to obtain a credit card or a loan because you don't have any track record yet. Students are automatically approved for a credit card through their Commerce Bank account for use as overdraft protection. If the student is responsible with that card, it can be used to build credit, as well as be a good transitional source of income, Helder says.

Assistant Registrar)
T. CHECK YOUR ARTS FORM.
Go to www.artsform.ku.edu to request your form.
□2. MEET WITH A GRADUATE ADVISOR.
Chck in with your advisor to make sure you're surely finished up. If there are any loose ends to wrap up, you'll want to know sooner than later.
It's also helpful to talk to your professors. Klim McNeley, assistant dean for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, suggests you get to know your faculty members. "The more you get to know them, the more they can be a resource in the future," she says.
3. APPLY FOR GRADUATION ONLINE THROUGH ENROLL AND PAY.
No, they don't just let you graduate. You have to apply for it. You can apply for graduation from all schools online through Enroll and Pay except for CLAS. CLAS graduation applications are in 109 Strong Hall. McNeiley suggests that students apply for graduation a semester in advance.
□4. MAKE SURE YOU'VE FILLED ALL REQUIREMENTS FOR BOTH YOUR MAJOR AND DEGREE.
Make sure you've taken every cus that you need, including the Gen-Ed basics. Whether it's Math 101 or Biology 546, you want to make sure it's out of the way.
You also need at least 45 junior/senior credit hours and a minimum GPA of 2.00.
5. BE ON TIME
Make sure you get everything done by deadline: Dec.1 for undergraduates and Law,Dec.15 for Graduate students.

Eagle Be Moved Studio, 2 E. Seventh St., for Sweat Your Prayers, a music-facilitated class where people dance through a sort of moving meditation called the 5 Rhythms. It's not for everyone, and Martin-Eagle admits that some people immediately think it's "new age stuff with ooey-gooey music." But after you swallow your pride and let down your barriers,
it can be a cathartic, fun and rejuvenating experience.
Sweat Your Prayers follows the 5 Rhythms, a movement practice devised by Gabrielle Roth, a former professional dancer, in the 1960s. After several years of observing people's movements and dance patterns, Roth developed the five rhythms — flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness — as a sort of dance therapy. In principle, the rhythms reflect how people progress through life. Practicing them is supposed to help people understand more about themselves and their bodies.
Flowing is letting your emotions fill your body. "Whatever you feel like, you let it in," Martin-Eagle says. Flowing, fluid music usually accompanies this first rhythm, she says.
Staccato is letting your

emotions out."You're expressing your inner emotions to the outside world." The music that accompanies staccato can be almost anything, Martin-Eagle says, from Eric Clapton songs to the funky, lush melodies of groups like Dubtribe Sound System.
Chaos involves letting go. Martin-Eagle says."Everything is moving,"she says."You focus on grounding your energy." Chaos music usually includes electronic
music with drums and techno music.
The lyrical rhythm is "letting go of letting go." It involves movements similar to chaos, but instead of focusing energy toward the ground, you focus it toward the air, Martin-Eagle says. It uses all sorts of music, from disco to Fatboy Slim remixes.
Lastly, stillness involves letting yourself be moved, Martin-Eagle says. "You stop being a dancer and allow yourself to be moved," she says. "How does your spirit move you or how does God move you?" Slower, softer music accompanies stillness.
If the practice of the 5 Rhythms seems a little vague, it's because it's such a personal practice, Martin-Eagle says. There is no particular dance

Back to school usually means back to the daily grind of classes and tests. But, since this is my last semester and, since ya boy spent his most of his break in summer school, I like to completely forget about tests and class for the first couple of weeks — or months.
New students should view college as a chance to escape away from the rules and regulations of the parental units. Returning students should view it as a chance to reunite with friends who they haven't seen in a few months, knock back a few adult beverages and soak up the atmosphere that Lawrence presents to its college residents.
By no means am I trivializing the importance of class, but don't neglect your other responsibilities, which are to embrace and enjoy the college life because once its gone, its gone playa.
Be easy.
As I enter my senior and final year here at the wonderful University of Kansas, I gotta say, I'm pretty excited. And no, it's not because I'm looking forward to the last classes I'll have with my friends or the crazy parties that are going to take place. No, it's because I'm ready to get the hell out of here and start putting some cheddar in my pocket.
Last time I checked, unless you played for Larry Brown, you don't get paychecks as a student. Sure the college experience is fun. You learn things about yourself, you make bad decisions and maybe you end up with a degree in four or five or six years, only to find out afterwards you hate what you're doing! All that for $50,000? And you're in debt for $25,000. Well, that's college.
Maybe you'll fail a class or two, wet someone else's bed (deny it though) or gain too much weight. It doesn't matter - it's college baby,and that what college kids do.

pattern. There is no designated dance area. Just imagine how you would舞 in your room if nobody else were around. Now imagine 30 people around you doing the same thing. Anything goes — skipping, stomping, flailing your arms, shaking your shoulders, your hips, your head.
Between 20 and 30 people attend Martin-Eagle's Sweat Your Prayers session every Sunday. Mari Christensen, Lawrence resident, has practiced the 5 Rhythms for the past five years and regularly attends the sessions at Be Moved Studio. She enjoys the practice, she says, because life and expression come out in dance. It's a form of self-realization, she says. "I've
But it's all for one purpose, Martin-Eagle says: getting your energy and emotion to move. Because, he says, if you can get it to move, then you can get it to change. "Are you bored, embarrassed or pissed off? Then dance that way," she says. "If you're sad or angry or excited, that energy gets stored in the body. Experiencing movement helps people know things can change. It's like a jam session for musicians. It can be very cathartic if you know your instrument — your body — well. And that's what it is: faith in your body."
"MOST OF US AREN'T GETTING THIS TYPE OF OPPORTUNITY TO EMBODY OUR EMOTIONS. WE GET PEOPLE WHO WALK IN AFTER A HARD WEEK, AND IT REALLY HELPS THEM REORGANIZE EVERYTHING." JONATHAN HORAN, A CORE FACULTY MEMBER AT THE MOVING CENTER IN NEW YORK

always danced, but other forms of dance really don't take you to the core of dancing, which is an investigation of energy and how it interacts in the universe." Christensen says. "Sweat Your Prayers just intensifies the experience."
Globally, there are more than 100,000 practitioners of the 5 Rhythms, says Jonathan Horan, the son of 5 Rhythms founder Gabrielle Roth and a core faculty member at the Moving Center in New York, a studio dedicated to Roth's movement practices. There is also a Moving Center studio in California and one in the United Kingdom. Among the three studios, more than 200 people have been licensed and certified to teach the 5 Rhythms, Horan says. He attributes part of the practice's success to the bottled-up society in which many people live and work.
"Most of us aren't getting this type of opportunity to embody our emotions," he says. "We get
people who walk in after a hard week, and it really helps them reorganize everything."
Horan distinguishes between dancing at a club, which he says usually involves social intentions, and dancing the 5 Rhythms, which he says involves promoting personal emotions and energy without regard to a social setting. "You can dance as a performer or at a club, but this is neither," he says. "Some people inevitably perform, but they're not choreographed. People just let it happen."
The 'absence of confined emotions and regulations is just what some people need, he says.
The only two rules at the Martin-Eagle's. Sweat Your Prayers class are no talking and no dancing with your eyes closed. Talking focuses your attention on your intellect instead of your body. Dancing with your eyes closed can lead to a crazy injury. Other than that, you're free to gyrate, jump and move however you want.

His long life and my attachment to him were equally unexpected. by Erin Wisdom

ERIN WISDOM
DISTILLED WATERS RUN DEEP
I share my home with a small albino stranger. We've been together half my life and have never spoken. Sometimes I make attempts at conversation, but he is silent. Sometimes he sings at night, but I cover my head with a pillow. Even after 11 years of coexistence, I look into his round red eyes and see no indication that he recognizes me.
Such subtle tragedy has always tinged my relationship with him. He is my pet frog, called Big Foot not because he himself is large, but because his webbed feet are large in comparison to the rest of his 3-inch-long body. Like a fish, he lives entirely in water. His home is a bowl with blue glass rocks and a red plastic boot. He is small and white like a pebble, a pat of butter, a spoonful of mashed potatoes.
We met under less-than-ideal circumstances. He was the replacement for two frogs that died one April afternoon when I was in fifth grade. My mom, cleaning their bowl while I was at a friend's house, inadvertently
ended their lives by neglecting to add the drops that distill the chlorine in tap water.
I returned home to find Big Foot — the product of a run she'd made to the Wal-Mart fish section to compensate for her mistake. Despite her good intentions, I angrily insisted I wanted nothing to do with this replacement frog. I mourned the loss of Doc and Al and for days refused to acknowledge this newcomer meant to take their place.
Eventually I did allow Big Foot into my room. But even then, our relationship was a troubled one. Distant, to say the least. Paramount in my mind is the four-year period I consider our lost years, time stolen by the girly need for pastel décor that assaulted me at 14. His red boot (a much-needed hiding place whenever the cat came looking for him) clashed with my lavender walls. Big Foot was exiled to the basement.
To this day I feel shame at the choice I made to cast him

aside the moment he became inconvenient to me. Our contact during his first year away was limited to my ventures down to his dank corner every few weeks to make sure he was still alive and kicking. I would plop a few food pellets into his 'bowl' and tap at him through the glass. Always he was stoic, as if to prove he could take the dark and the strange sump pump sounds just as well as the crickets could.
Fortunately for Big Foot, his stint in the basement served as a proving ground.It made my family recognize the hardiness of this little amphibian, whose lifespan had already far exceeded that of anything else that had ever lived in a fish bowl in our house.
His impressive ability to perpetuate his existence, even
when left unattended for weeks at a time, earned him a spot on my mom's desk at work. Visitors traveled from the building's far reaches to marvel at this little white wonder. Yet despite his crowd-pleasing tendencies (he's always had that special "spark"), Big Foot wasn't the office pet for long. A scare involving a child's desire to christen his bowl with un-distilled drinking-fountain water necessitated his return home. He took up residence in the kitchen on top of the microwave, safely away from children and their ignorance of the lethal qualities of chlorine.
When I was 18, I began to see Big Foot with new eyes. Maybe it was the time we'd spent apart, or perhaps maturity I'd gained in that time. Whatever the reason,
he was no longer a nuisance. Now he was a marvel. He was my quite-possibly immortal frog, something to brag about to friends and co-workers.
More than that, he was a remnant of my childhood. He had lived through my most important growing-up years — a kicking, croaking constant when everything else was changing. With this new appreciation I brought him back into my room. And later, when I moved into my first apartment, he came with me.
Sadly, even a seemingly immortal frog cannot live forever. I dread his demise and regret that as my world has grown, his has been confined to a small glass bowl. He has become significant to me, but I have no way to communicate this to him except by making sure he never again goes weeks between feedings. Even now, as he paddles about on the shelf above my desk, I know my little Big Foot has taught me more about appreciating the small things in life than he will ever know.

The Back Room MUSIC
REVIEWS
by Editors
Do you remember the early 2000s? Back then, open imitation wasn't frowned upon — it was considered near-revolutionary. Critics loved Interpol because they adopted the look (Kraftwerk) and sound (Joy Division) of a forgotten age, when ties were skinny and times were good. Honesty and integrity were never called into question. Besides, few people had ever listened to Closer, and Interpol wrote great songs.
---
U. K. band, Editors, continue in this tradition, but owe more to the knock-offs than the real thing. Throughout The Back Room, the group's debut album, vocalist Tom Smith plagiarizes Paul Banks' deadpan delivery while the rest of the crew churns out a predictable mix of darting guitars and rapid-fire drum fills. Inexplicably, the album was recently nominated for Britain's prestigious Mercury Prize (though it should be noted that country once sent a cell phone ring tone to #1). Few of the 11 tracks are noteworthy and most are indistinguishable from the others. The
opening bombast of lead single "Bullets" raises high hopes, but once the guitars bottom out, Smith is left alone to observe "If something has to change then it always does."Listening to The Back Room, I knew exactly what he meant; I put on a better album.

Bottoms of Barrels MUSIC by Tilly and the Wall
Tap dancing. Sing-alongs. Upbeat music.No, it's not the weekly meeting of your church youth group,it's Tilly and The Wall.
On its second album,Tilly and The Wall continues its signature sound of upbeat music mixed with tap dancing and makes one of the best albums of the summer.From its upbeat "Rainbows In The Dark" to the moving closer "Coughing Colors",Bottoms of Barrels is a nearly perfect album.
AIRONMAN
Improvement between albums is a quality that makes a good band. Nickelback has yet to figure this out, but luckily Tilly and The Wall has mastered it. The band's last album lacked variety, but Bottoms of Barrels has a little bit of everything. A little 60s rock on "Urgency", breezy electronic pop on "The Freest Man" and the ultimate sing along song
(appropriately titled,"Sing Songs Along", all make for a nice album.
So if you are looking for a little folk mixed with Mates of State style sing-alongs, then maybe this is the album for you.

TIMBERLEAF
Step Up MOVIE
Ever since Baby stepped out of the corner and onto the stage with Johnny Castle, dance + romance movies have given throngs of guys a reason to groan while being dragged to the theatre. And really, can you blame them? I love a dance practice montage as much as the next girl, but these films are pretty formulaic. Girl meets boy. One of them can't dance or lacks professional training. They dance.
They fall in love. One of them quits.
And finally, they come together for one a rousing final dance scene.
"Step Up" is the latest dance flick to follow this predictable path. Relative newcomers Channing Tatum (Tyler) and Jenna Dewan (Nora) are mismatched partners brought together by Tyler's disregard for private property. More than a few community service hours later, rough-around-the-edges, but
highly flexible Tyler ends up filling in for Nora's injured dance partner. He adds the hip-hop factor to Nora's prissy dance routine for her senior showcase, and soon they become more than practice buddies.
Urban stereotypes abound in "Step Up," something that takes away from the best part of the movie — the dancing. Unfortunately, there's not enough of it to make up for cheesy dialogue and a run of
the mill storyline. Tatum and Dewan have palpable chemistry and the moves and music are hot.Hot, that is, up until the requisite final dance that pales in comparison to Baby and Johnny's last dirty dance in the Catskills.

Wescoe air not cause of brain tumors
BY MARK VIERTHALER
If an environmental factor in Wesco Hall caused brain tumors in five faculty members with offices in the building, it wasn't the air, a University of Kansas-comissioned study said.
According to the health study released by Stewart Industrial Hygiene and Safety, Inc., there was nothing in the air that could be connected with the tumors.
However, the study did find various pockets throughout the building where there was no air movement.
Don Steeples, vice provost for scholarly support, said there are still no environmental factors tied to the tumors.
"At this point, we don't have any indication that the building is unsafe or unhealthy." Steeples said. "We very clearly had indications that
there were air movement problems."
To address this problem, Steeples said the University had already made basic changes, including increasing the ventilation of the building.
He said the University was a long way from being able to completely revamp the system within the building.
"We're in the process of designing remediation measures," Steeples said. "We're trying to figure out
what's going to cost, where and how we're going to get the money to do it. It's probably going to take at least two fiscal years to get the funds."
He said the increased ventilation would cause some temperature issues mostly in faculty offices. During the winter, the rooms will tend to run cold. During the summer, hot.
Robert Elliott, assistant to the chair of the English department,
said that even though his office won't be moving during the renovations the studies really haven't had much of an affect on his concerns.
"Since there's no clear cause for brain tumors, we've generally expected that testing would be inconclusive," he said. "I think the people who were worried before are still worried. Others, not so much."

Wireless networks popular, illegal
BY NATE MCGINNIS
Several students living in campus housing have used computer routers to set up personal wireless Internet networks, in direct violation of ResNet service contracts.
In an informal investigation, the Kansan found wireless networks in Templin and McCollum halls, and Watkins, Sellards, Douthart, Stephenson, K.K. Amiini and Margaret Amiini scholarship halls. The most wireless networks were in Stephenson and Douthart scholarship halls, with three and two respectively. Throughout the year, ResNet may perform its own investigations.
"The main issue with wireless individual networks is security," said Chuck LaPointe, coordinator of ResNet.
Jason Cook, Dodge City junior and ResNet employee, said security was only part of the problem with personal wireless networks.
LaPointe explained that when students create a personal wireless network, they usually don't take the proper steps to secure it. This makes the network available to anyone.
"It's a matter of security and a matter of being able to pay," Cook said.
The cost of Internet service from ResNet is $83.25 per semester. By creating a personal wireless network, it is possible for one student to purchase the service and then provide it free of charge to other students.
According to Cook, a computer hub is the only device approved by ResNet to split Internet service between students.

First-day nerves rattle old, new students
BACK TO SCHOOL
Upperclassmen face increased pressure; freshmen transition to huge lecture halls
BY MATT ELDER
While the campus flurry of the first day of class consisted of both new and returning faces, many freshmen and upperclassmen were sharing the same experiences during their trip to the top of the hill Thursday.
First-day jitters inhabited the bellies of both. For Jenifer Krass, Berrryton freshman, she had to transition from smaller high school classes to a lecture hall of several hundred students.
"I don't think I was really that nervous, but going into a new situation is always awkward," she said.
While returning students might have become accustomed to the nerves Krass felt Thursday morning, the pressure of attending the first day of classes often doesn't diminish.
"The first impression is always important." Barrath said. "These are people that in a year or two from now could be helping you get a job."
"It's different now since my freshman or sophomore year," said Stephanie Quante, Waterloo junior. "These classes I'm taking now as a junior are more serious, and they actually matter the first day."
Needing his classes to graduate on time, Barrath is quick to point to the power professors have to drop
On a day when upperclassmen skip classes for a last summer weekend, Quante said the fear of a professor assigning something important was always looming over her head.

expectations of the professor and most importantly, if you'll need to go anytime soon again," Barrath said.
But Quante understands why some students choose not to attend.
"I woke up and went to a lab at 8 this morning, only to find a sign that says we wouldn't be meeting until next week. And this wasn't the first time," she said.
Differences between departments, such as whether discussions and labs will take place for classes before a scheduled lecture, can cause confusion for students. Quante said a simple e-mail could have saved her time by keeping her from making an unnecessary trip to campus.

Multiple bike thefts roll on to campus
BY DAVID LINHARDT
Lennea Carty, Andover senior, wanted to think everyone around her was a decent person. But last weekend, someone stole her bicycle from a Templin Hall bike rack.
The incident is part of a trend of bike thefts that cropped up during the break between the University's summer and fall semesters.
"Right now I'm feeling slightly paranoid," Carty said. "A little bit of my security bubble has been picked through."
Six bikes have been stolen from
campus racks during the last two weeks, including Carty's mountain bike by Giant, according to Public Safety Office reports. Students reported losses of more than $10,000 in bike-related thefts in 2005.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, public safety officer spokesman, said the thefts were still being investigated.
"Most of the time it's not students who are stealing them," Bailey said.

More than 1 million bikes are stolen each year, according to the site, and less than half are ever found by police. Most of the bikes police find have no registry numbers or other identification.

odd news Public art sculpture stolen from city park
TACOMA, Wash. — For the second time in as many summers, police are trying to find a stolen salmon — a larger-than-life fiberglass fish sculpture taken from a city park.
The latest theft occurred at Gateway Park sometime between 6 p.m. Friday and 6 a.m. Saturday, said Lynn Di Nino, an artist who said she tried to find clues in the city's Old Town neighborhood before reporting the loss to police Tuesday.
"I thought maybe somebody pushed it over the edge," she said. "But I scoured the landscape and couldn't find it."

Senior citizen pleads guilty to robberies
SANTA ANA, Calif. — A man dubbed the "senior citizen bandit" has pleaded guilty to 10 counts of armed robbery and one firearms count for sticking up banks in three Western states, authorities said.
States, Charles Manrow, 70, of Pennsylvania, entered the plea Aug. 10 and will be sentenced early next year.
Manrow pleaded guilty to robberies in Southern California, Fresno, Utah and Arizona Assistant U.S. Attorney Ivy Wang said.
Manrow was arrested in January outside a motel in the Riverside County community of Thousand Palms. He had cash, fake identification and weapons stashed in a stolen Cadillac.
Manrow would enter the banks wearing a baseball cap and casual clothes. When he reached a teller, he would announce the holdup, show a weapon and hand over multiple bags, saying he had a remote device that could tell him if a silent alarm was activated.
A year ago, Manrow's crime spree sparked national interest after a Los Angeles TV station reported that investigators considered whether Manrow could be the fugitive Boston crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger, who is on the FBI's "Most Wanted" list and has been on the run for years. The possibility was ultimately discounted.

Provost joins elite council
BY BEN SMITH
Richard Lariviere, University of Kansas provost and executive vice
chancellor, has been elected as a lifetime member to the Council on Foreign Relations, one of the nation's top independent groups on foreign affairs.
"I'm very pleased," Larivière said. "It's a real honor to be elected as a lifetime member and to interact with such a collection of great minds
Lariviere
PETER BURKE
dedicated to international endeavors"
New members are selected by a committee of current members. The council often organizes debates and discussions on major international issues such as economics,
global governance, society and culture, and international peace and security with diplomats and speakers from around the world.
"For a long time, they have been the principal forum on international relations," Raj Bhala said, professor of law and council member since February 2001. "The council's purpose is to help the U.S. formulate foreign policies that advance American endeavors internationally."
Bhala said he was pleased to hear of Lariviere's election.
"Historically, the Council has been dominated by members from New York and Washington D.C." Bhala said. "More recent appointments are beginning to include per-
species from the plains states and other regions."
The Council has 4,282 members including scholars, journalists, business leaders, governmental officials and policy makers. Of those, 3,794 are lifetime members. The roster includes former Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Madeleine Albright, former President Bill Clinton and former Sen. Nancy Kassebaum Baker (R-Kan.).
The Council, with headquarters in N.Y. and an office in Washington, D.C., is one of the oldest bodies in the United States dedicated to focusing on foreign affairs.

SUA brings big talent to KU
Singer-songwriter Ben Folds will perform a concert at the Lied Center on Nov. 6.
BY BEN SMITH
Tickets go on pre-sale to Student Union Activities' preferred student cardholders Oct. 2 for $5. Tickets will be available to all KU students starting Oct. 4 for $10 and to the general public Oct. 6 for $25.
SUA began arranging the special performance last spring by searching for talent that would appeal to student tastes and a venue of the Lied Center's size.
"We were hoping to get somebody big this year; someone who could fill the Lied Center and yet keep ticket prices low for students," said Tanner Burns, SUA live music coordinator.
Burns said that the SUA office expected a large crowd for the event.
"Already we are getting numerous calls from students, and we haven't even begun to advertise," he said.
Daniel Singer, Leawood senior and Ben Folds fan, said he looked forward to seeing one of his favorite musicians live.
"I think his songs are well written," Singer said. "He is a musically talented individual."
Alex Abel, Wichita freshman, was thrilled to learn about the concert.
"As a fan, I could not be more thrilled that he is coming right here to KU." Abel said. "I like every song I've ever heard from him, and will definitely attend the performance at the Lied Center."
Folds broke away from his self-named trio in 2001 with the album "Rockin' the Suburbs." A multi-instrumentalist, Folds hails from Winston-Salem, N.C., and has recently been featured on the soundtracks of films such as "Hoodwinked" and "Jersey Girl."
Folds will spend September touring Australia before he begins his concert trek through the United States in November. He will visit Lawrence and nine other cities.

Study abroad students impart theater experience to campus

Students will step onto a hard stage at the Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall this weekend, unlike the clay floor they performed on this summer in Katohi, Greece.
"I think our shoes are still covered in the red dirt from the theater," said Meggi Sweeney, who choreographed the production.
The cast will perform Euripides' Greek tragedy "Bacchae," which they created and performed during a summer study abroad program, called Theatre in Greece.
"It's an opportunity for the students to be able to come back and show friends, colleagues and teachers what they did this summer," said Dennis Christilles, professor of theater and film and director of the production. "We hope people will see this and be interested in the program."
"Bacchae" will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday and 2:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall. The event is free.
"Bacchae" deals with a rigid religious outlook and inflexibility toward admitting other perspectives into one's life. Students spent six weeks in Greece rehearsing the show before they performed it at an ancient fourth-century theater, Oiniades. Performing the ancient Greek tragedy at the Oiniades theater was a unique opportunity for students.
Living and working in Greece was a great experience, but it presented some challenges for students.
"We walked into this theater appreciating the detailed design for acoustics and the carved seating that has somehow lasted through the centuries, yet we were still facing common everyday obstacles that such a space presents, from rocks being turned up in the dirt while dancing to the millions of mosquitoes that arrived at night," Sweeney said.
Many of the students assumed multiple roles in the production. Female performers had to take on male roles, playing kings and shepherds.
Students also had to learn and recite Greek lines. They spent a few weeks studying modern Greek before leaving the United States. Christilles translated part of the script into modern Greek.
Sweeney said learning the language helped the students to connect with the Greek community and culture, and it enabled their Greek audience to follow along with the production.
"The best part of the trip to me was being able to play with the village children from day to day" said Sean Smith, Winter Park, Fla., senior. "They spoke very little English and we spoke very little Greek, which made communicating a challenge, but a challenge that allowed us to expand our methods of communicating."
Four members of the Greek town were included in the production
"It becomes a community event," Christilles said.
This weekend, the original cast will perform the play as they did in Greece, only without the four local performers. The original props and costumes created for the performance in Greece also will be used this weekend.
"We had to make a lot of changes and rehearse more, but it's going to be a lot of fun," said Brian Bondari, graduate student who composed the music for the production.
The majority of the script is in English, but lines that were in Greek will remain in Greek. Sweeney said this will give the Lawrence audience a better sense of Greek culture through language, and show the work that she and the other students did over the summer.

RESNET (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
A hub allows the Internet service to be split while making sure all computers attached are registered with ResNet and have paid for service.
To find the networks, LaPointe said an employee walked through the residence halls with an electronic device that scans for wireless signals.
"We can actually sniff them out and disable the Mac address of the wireless router," Lapointe said.
The Mac address individually identifies the machine that outputs the signal.

Wireless Internet is already available free of charge to about half of campus. Student Senate is currently working on expanding wireless capabilities to the other half of campus, but has no plans to expand the service to the residence halls.

WESCOE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
With the air quality no longer a health issue, John Neuberger, professor of preventive medicine and public health at the University of Kansas Medical Center, has been hired by the University to implement a follow up survey.
Neuberger said there would be an industrial hygiene survey of the building and an interview of employees to determine any constant factors among them. He declined further comment on specifics of the study.
The first stage of the study has already begun, Steepsle said. People who have spent more than a year in Wescoe are being asked to fill out a questionnaire.
Neuberger will then give follow up interviews to staff members who are crucial to the investigation and to randomly selected staff.

Not everyone is worried about the possible connection between Wescoe and tumors. Allie Milhon, Topeka junior, said the study and subsequent results had no affect on how she spends time on campus.
"I chose my classes based on what I had to take," Milton said. "If it's in Wescoe, I'll take my chances. There's so many other things in this world that can give you brain tumors."
Minn, senor, said the University is inclined to continue to search.
After the study is finished in January 2007, the University will then adapt the new ventilation system depending largely on Neuberger's findings.
"They have to continue to investigate," she said. "It's tragic. There's obviously something going on."

NATION JonBenet confessional comes under suspicion
BOULDER, Colo. — For a moment, it seemed the decade-old mystery surrounding the slaying of a child beauty queen had been solved. But authorities Thursday cautioned against rushing to judge the schoolteacher who made a stunning confession that he killed JonBenet Ramsey.
For now, the only public evidence against John Mark Karr are his own words. And questions have already been raised about the details of his story, including whether he drugged the girl, sexually assaulted her or was even in Colorado at the time of the slaying.
Paraded before a raucous crush of reporters in Bangkok, Thailand, the sullen Karr told how he loved JonBenet, was with her when she died but that her death was an accident. And while vague on the details — "it would take several hours" — he answered flatly when asked if he was innocent: "No."
Those questions led some to wonder whether Karr was the answer to the long-un-solved slaying or a disturbed wannabe trying to insert himself into a high-profile case.

Warrentless surveillance ruled unconstitutional
LAW
DETROIT — A federal judge ruled Thursday that the government's warrantless surveillance program is unconstitutional and ordered an immediate end to it.
U. S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit became the first judge to strike down the National Security Agency's program which she says violates the rights to free speech and privacy, as well as the separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution.
"Plaintiffs have prevailed, and the public interest is clear, in this matter. It is the upholding of our Constitution," Taylor wrote in her 43-page opinion.
"We're going to do everything we can do in the courts to allow this program to continue." Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said at a news conference In Washington.
The Justice Department said it is appealing the ruling.
Gonzales maintained that the program is legal and useful.
"We've had numerous statements by leaders of the intelligence community about the effectiveness of the program in

BOSTON — A woman on a trans-Atlantic flight diverted to Boston for security concerns passed several notes to crew members, urinated on the cabin floor and made comments the crew believed were references to al-Qaida and the Sept. 11 attacks, according to an affidavit filed Thursday.

The government argued that the program is well within the president's authority,but said proving that would require revealing state secrets.
The ruling won't take immediate effect so Taylor can hear a Justice request for a stay pending its appeal. A hearing on the motion was set for Sept. 7, Snow said.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit on behalf of journalists, scholars and lawyers who say the program has made it difficult for them to do their jobs.

Her attorney, federal public defender Pelle Kayle, said Mayo was "just barely lucid" when they spoke. "She's got some very serious mental health problems."
U. S. Attorney Michael Sullivan said he hoped to learn more about Mayo's mental state before the next court appearance. "We believe it's important during that time period to have a doctor examine her," he said.

BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Political passion has taken some students out of the classroom and into campaign election offices as Republican and Democratic campaigns are gearing up for the general elections, which will take place Nov. 7 to determine the next governor, attorney general and secretary of state.
Beth Innes, Phillipsburg 2005 graduate, took this fall semester off to continue working for Congressman Dennis Moore's (D-Kan.) campaign. She started working on it in June and will return next year for her master's degree in international affairs.
"I don't think you can do school and work on a campaign." Innes said. "You could, but that's not what we do. I took off school to get experience in politics, and I am going back."
Innes said she always thought about being involved in politics. She said working on a campaign was a good starting ground for her future.
Her time on the campaign has taught her she can make an impression on important local issues.
"A lot of people stay out of politics, but if you get involved you can make a difference" she said.
Ashley Lynd, Overland Park 2006 graduate, works with Innes. She was hired specifically to work on campus representing the Democratic party.
She said campus was a great place to find potential voters, though she recognized the 18 to 25 age group had a notoriously low voter turnout. Her plan was to make it easier for students to register to vote and to be interested in the issues.
For her, one of the most important issues was student financial aid because funding for it is being cut.
"If I was still in school, I don't know if I could afford it anymore," she said.
Another student has decided to stay in school while still devoting his time to working for on an election campaign.

Money denied for research
SCIENCE
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Renowned English biologist Thomas Huxley once said, "The great tragedy of science — the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact."
There is now an ugly fact facing the University of Kansas.
The National Science Foundation recently denied the renewal of a $17 million grant dedicated to the University's Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis, 1501 Wakaraus Drive.
The University received a five-year, $17 million grant in 2003 to fund their research. It was not in the contract with the NSF that the University receive five additional years of funding after the first five years were up, but it was a possibility.
give little regard to energy efficiency or effects on the environment.
The NSF conducted an evaluation of the CEBC in April. The NSF's evaluation report cited some of the center's problems as "failure to develop new and innovative concepts", faculty members that are "pursuing their own agenda" rather than growing as a team, and development of chemical processes that
"It is always a disappointment whenever a grant proposal is not successful," said Bala Subramaniam, CEBC director, in an interview done by e-mail. "However, our center's mission is very much alive; we are in the third year of funding and still have two years of funding remaining."
Subramaniam said the CEBC would receive NSF funding through 2008. He said they would receive close to $15 million instead of the original $17 million laid out in the grant.
According to the CEBC Web site there are about 20 KU faculty and 18 graduate students on staff with the CEBC.
Subramanian said the graduate students at the CEBC would continue working for at least the next two years and the CEBC would continue to recruit new graduate students.
"The non-renewal means that we have to develop funding from alternate sources to continue projects beyond five years and for new research initiatives," Subramaniam said. It's unclear where funding will

come from.
Bretz said, since October 2003 the CEBC has developed a new process to recover platinum from aged fuel cells, novel bleaching agents and nanomaterials for gas storage applications. Among other accomplishments, they've also developed a drug to treat narcolepsy.
She said the $17 million, five year grant the University received in 2003 was one of only four grants awarded to more than one hundred research foundations that applied for the grant.
"This does not mean that KU won't receive funding from the NSP again." Bretz said.
Last year the University's Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets received a grant for $19 million from the NSF.

CRIME
Teen actor faces jail time
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GLENDALE, Calif. - Teen actor Haley Joel Osment, who suffered a broken rib last month when his car struck a mailbox, faces up to six months in jail on charges that he was driving drunk and possessing marijuana, authorities said.
Osment's blood-alcohol level after the July 20 crash was measured at .16, twice the legal limit, said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney's office.
The 18-year-old actor was charged Thursday with misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence, marijuana possession and driving under the influence with the special allegation of having a blood-alcohol content of .15 percent or higher. He also faces a vehicle code infraction of being under the age of 21 and driving with a blood-alcohol level of .05 or greater.
Osment was scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 19 in Glendale Superior Court.
His attorney will work with authorities to arrange a time for the star of such films as "The Sixth Sense" and "Pay it Forward" to surrender, Robison said. The district attorney plans to request that bail be set at $15,000.
DreamWorks spokesman and family friend Marvin Levy was out of his office Thursday and did not immediately return a call or comment. He said Wednesday that Osment has recovered from his injuries and is preparing to attend college in the fall.

OUR VIEW
It's past time for GTA resolution
After more than a year, one large demonstration, countless meetings and a neutral arbitrator, negotiations between graduate teaching assistants and the University for higher wages and benefits have come to a standstill.
The bottom line: This has continued for far too long — since May 2005 — and must be resolved. At this point a resolution seems like an impossible goal.
Both sides need to analyze the situation and realize they need each other. The University could not man the classrooms without the dedication of GTAs. A University is only as good as its faculty and staff, and that includes all 900-plus GTAs.
On the other hand, the GTAs have an opportunity to gain an experience that can springboard their careers.
The University has offered raising the minimum salary
from $10,000-$11,000 to $12,000 by the 2008-2009 school year along with an 11.3 percent increase for merit raises.
This increase in wages is something the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition must accept. The numbers show they are not the only underpaid individuals at the University.
The University has continued to hover around the average mark in the Big 12 when it comes to salaries among professors, associate professors assistant professors and instructors. Currently the University sits sixth in average salary with a total of $77,993, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning.
Credit University officials for making an effort to reach an agreement. They have done their part, and now it's time for GTAC to make a few concessions to
reach a compromise.
GTAC says money is no longer an issue and it now boils down to other matters. This includes the ability for GTAC to use University property to attract new members to the union. The group also wants do change the 10-semester limit for GTAs, which the University claims pushes them to finish on time and provides open positions for incoming graduate students
A 10-semester limit seems reasonable. Certainly it can be difficult to grade papers on top of juggling classes, but that's what comes with the job.
Let us play neutral arbitrator and advise both sides, especially GTAC, to put down the boxing gloves and reach an agreement.

Drug policy is irresponsible
As the Kansan reported, students convicted of any drug offense — including possession of just one marijuana joint — are automatically stripped of their financial aid ("Marijuana found on move-in day;" Aug. 17).
How many students do you know who could afford to stay in school after losing their aid? Probably not many. And how are they supposed to
clean up and make an honest living once they're kicked out of school?
It's not hard to see that this penalty causes more, not less, drug abuse.
Of course, the denial of aid is in addition to any other penalties the court decides to mete out, including fines or jail time.
Perhaps the most striking thing about this policy is that it does not apply to murderers, rapists, or arsonists. They're all free to receive aid and
live right next to you in the dorms, while students who occasionally smoke marijuana are kicked to the curb.

Ah, to be a freshman at KU
My grandma, who of course came to "help me move in," said it was just like my first day of kindergarten. Well, college hasn't made me cry yet, and chicken pox is already out of the way, but we'll see.
Maybe she meant that I came to college in a minivan. I needed the space of the family mini for all the wonderful college-y things that I'd been conned into buying, not to mention the six people who came to Lawrence with me to offer moral support. They were in the support car.
This is not the beginning of the story, however.
After spending three years frantically taking tests, making resumes
BY BEN ALEXANDER
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINIONOKANSAN.COM
Since then I have probably spent more than $100 on study books and thousands more on transfer credits and various standardized tests, all with one purpose in mind: to soften the eventual blow of the dreaded "college."
The beginning was sometime in my sophomore year of high school, when the guidance counselor came to give us a speech about college. Well, that and the ritual threats from my teachers: "You won't be able to get away with this in college!"
and writing essays, I took the time to relax a little bit and congratulate myself. A few minutes later, I got a mailing about another obstacle to overcome: extra-long beds. I was shocked. Such a thing existed? Fortunately, Target had a handy section, roughly the size of a football field, packed with hopeful college freshmen rushing around in a panic, overwhelmed by the same problems.
I got the sheets, gave the study books to my little sister and now I'm here. College. Sort of. Hawk Week was really more like summer camp than school.
For a few days I had my doubts about this whole college thing. Volleyball on Wescoe beach, free food everywhere, crowds of sorority girls chanting to each other, it was all a little too much.
But as classes start, the University
of Kansas is feeling more and more like old times. Everywhere I look on campus I see someone I know from high school. But that isn't what really warms my insides and reminds me of old times.
That distinction would have to go to that wonderful smell that you can only get by following a bus on a hot day as it kicks up dust and exhaust in your face.
The most important thing about coming back to school, though, is the stress. I didn't know what to do with myself all summer, with nothing to do but work and hang out with friends. With classes starting again, I think I'll be glad to get back to staying up late writing papers, going to the library right before it closes and dragging myself to class after not sleeping.
For all the fuss made about moving in (seven people was a little excessive, and I get sick of hearing about poster sales), it's not that big of a deal. At least I won't have to make a colorful collage about myself on the first day of class. Nap time would be nice, though.

Students should join in the new civic religion
As students at the University of Kansas, it is easy to feel alienated and disconnected from our government and the things it does. I know I do. But with a plan and a little hard work we can make ourselves the next great generation.
Our plan should be called the new civic religion. What is civic religion? The phrase has a long history. It started with Jean-jacques Rousseau in the 1700s, and the basic definition is (according to my trusty Encyclopedia Britannica) a "set of quasi-religious attitudes, beliefs, rituals, and symbols that tie members of a political community together." The phrase has been changed and adapted over the years by sociologists, politicians and political theorists. While the definitions created by those people might be helpful to some, I think that it is time our generation claimed the

If we have a coherent set of shared values as a generation, we can force our government to be more responsive to our needs and build a stronger society. Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said, "the only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well informed to maintain its sovereign control over the government." A new civic religion would be a perfect tool to help us,
term as our own.
The first thing we should emphasize in our new civic religion is that any religion/idea/belief is respected; we don't all need to think or feel the same way. As Jayhawks, we are a positive example of this. At the Info Fair in front of Strong Hall Tuesday night there was a whole range of ideas represented. And if any student feels their ideas or beliefs are not represented within the university community, they have the ability to start their own organization.
as young Americans, to maintain control over our leadership.
Now that we've established that we are all in this together, we need to remember that the benefit of creating our new civic religion helps shape our country's future. Therefore, the second tenet of our new civic religion should be broad, consistent participation in
our government and other civic organizations. Election Day should be a national holiday. It should be a day where we take a break from our jobs and school to focus on doing what is best for our country. In conventional religions we take time off to focus on important events; we should do the same in our new civic religion.
We should also make staying informed about our government a national pastime; when you think baseball and apple pie you should also think news. Not news from any one source, but from as many different people, organizations and countries as possible. Writing letters to our leaders expressing our opinions should be a common activity, not just something our teachers force us to do. We should not only express our ideas when we have a problem or are upset,
but we should offer new ideas, new solutions and new methods of compromise. These goals should be the focus of communication with our political leaders.
The third and final mission of our new civic religion should be to keep the government honest. John Stewart can't do it alone. We must use the knowledge gained from our over-priced university educations to create greater public accountability. There are numerous tools at our disposal: voting, creating our own media, and participating in government on a local level, just to name a few.
You may feel lost or discouraged, but there are things you can do to fix that. First, attend a club meeting that represents a point of view with which you don't necessarily agree. Contact information about all clubs can be found in the Kyou
Portal on the KU Web site. Secondly, register to vote. You can get information on voter registration in any state at www.eac.gov. Finally, make it a point to send at least one letter to a political leader this semester. Don't wait until something makes you angry to write the letter; read the news regularly and try to share a new solution with our leaders. Contact information for most Kansas politicians can be found at www.kansas.gov.
These simple steps will make you a leader in our new civic religion and help to build a stronger country.

Chiefs shut out against Giants
PRINTERS 7
Bill Kostroun/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Casey Printers is sacked by New York Giants linebacker Nick McNell during fourth-quarter NFL football Thursday night at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
BY TOM CANAVAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Eli Manning and the New York Giants showed flashes of offense they'll need to repeat as NFC East champions. They also showed Herm Edwards how much work his Kansas City Chiefs have left to do.
Manning threw for one touchdown and set up another and the Giants starters and backups dominated in a 17-0 preseason victory over Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night, spoiling Edwards' return to Giants Stadium.
"We came out here and played very well," Manning said. "The defense did a great job of getting us good field possession on the first series and we were able to run the ball, throw the ball and convert third downs."
The Giants did just about anything they wanted in outgaining the Chiefs 309-111 while holding the ball for more than 37 minutes.
If the game showed anything, it was that the Giants (2-0) have the talent to repeat in the NFC East and that Edwards, the former Jets coach, has a lot of work ahead to get the Chiefs (0-2) back to the playoffs for the first time since 2003.
can't play like that against a team that went to the playoffs last year. We have to hurry up and rally now."
"We've done this two weeks in a row" Edwards said matter of factly. "I flat out told the guys it wasn't a good job coaching, and you just
Edwards led the Jets to three playoff appearances in five seasons, but he was ushered out after a 4-12 mark last season. In taking the Chiefs job, he promised to shore up their porous defense.
No such change was evident
Manning shredded Kansas City for touchdowns on two of the first three drives, capping the first with a 5-yard toss to Amani Toomer and handing off the Brandon Jacobs for a 1-yard plunge on the third series.
against the Giants.
The other drive probably would have resulted in points had not Jeremy Shockey and Tim Carter
been hit with consecutive holding penalties in Chiefs territory.
Defensively, New York limited Trent Green and halfback Larry Johnson to two first downs in two series before turning things over to the backups. The Chiefs only got into Giants' territory once in the game, getting to the New York 40 on their second series.
Coach shares load of media relations
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Throughout preseason training camp, first-year Rams coach Scott Linehan has shouldered the load of dealing with the media while his coordinators concentrated on getting players ready for the upcoming
doesn't mind remaining behind the scenes while Linehan gets all the publicity.
"I just feel it's important especially early in any kind of program that there's one messenger.
But on Thursday, the final day of camp, he decided it was time for defensive coordinator Jim Haslett and offensive coordinator Greg Olson to get some exposure,
"To be honest with you, not dealing with the media on a day-to-day basis and focusing on football has been good for me," said Haslett, whose Saints team was displaced
and promised they would be available on Mondays to discuss the previous game.

Even so, Linehan says he'll continue to be the team's primary spokesman.
speak to me.
"I just feel it's important, especially early in any kind of program that there's one messenger," Linehan said. "It's not because those guys aren't competent and can't give you the information you need. That's a big part of my job description and I feel its the role that I ought to take."
Haslett, who spent the past six years as head coach at New Orleans,

last season by Hurricane Katrina.
"But, I say this about this football team, compared to where I've been," he said. "I don't think there's a lot of problems and a lot of issues that Scott has to deal with. I know
Olson, a former quarterbacks coach at Detroit, Chicago and San Francisco, said his transition to offensive coordinator has been made easier because Linehan plans to call most of the plays. Olson said he and Linehan are still working on details about how their relationship will work, but he's happy to serve as Linehan's apprentice.
it's easier said than done because there are a lot of hidden things, but he's handled it very well. Scott's very intelligent and he thinks about things before he reacts. I'm enjoyed watching him work."

position. After us, the senior led the Jayhawks in goals during the spring season.
One question facing the team concerns the goal-keeper situation. Sophomore Julie Hanley and junior Colleen Quinn games last season, was Kansas' starting goalkeeper during the season's final, most important games. Whichever goalie is chosen as starter should be successful, as both players had a 1.16 goals against average and had nearly the same number of saves.
Despite these questions, Francis just wants to focus on today's game.
"Even though it's an exhibition, we want to win this game," Francis said. "Defensively, we are pretty good, but we really need to address working on controlling possession on offense."
》 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Women's basketball player to sit out year
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
Sophomore forward Jen Orgas will sit out this basketball season for personal reasons, according to a statement released Thursday night.
Orgas, an Omaha, Neb., native, saw little action in Big 12 Conference play last season. Her high school teammate, walk-on Katie Smith, played in a similar role, and is still with the team.
"We respect Jen's decision to sit out the upcoming season and she has our full support," coach Bonnie Henrickson said in the statement.
Forward Sophronia Sallard
left the team at the conclusion of the 2005-2006 season, also citing personal reasons. Sallard transferred to the University of Pittsburgh at the end of the academic year.
The women's basketball team formally begins practice in October, although players are allowed to participate in a limited number of conditioning drills each week with the coaches.

WHEN IT RAINS,IT POURS
Fan wants to rebound from subpar image
Being from St. Louis, I was the only Kansas fan in my entire high school. Naturally, all of my friends root for Missouri and love to make fun of KU whenever they get the chance. Lately, they have had way too many chances.
Kansas has been in the news for the wrong reasons too many times in the past year and a half. Allow me to briefly recap:
*Former KU basketball player J.R. Giddens was stabbed during a fight in May 2005 at the Moon Bar. Giddens, who was not 21 at the time, pleaded no contest to battery. Shortly afterward, he transferred to New Mexico.
*Former KU running back Bruce Ringwood was charged with assault in August 2005 after he got in a fight at a Kenny Chesney concert in Kansas City, Mo., that injured a Shawnee women. He then got in a roommate in March

2006 and was kicked off the football team by coach Mark Mangino.
*In October 2005, former softball player Jackie Vasquez sued KU softball coach Tracy Bunge for sexual harassment, alleging that Bunge ordered the softball team to shower in their uniforms after losing to Texas A&M in April 2005.
Vasquez claimed her scholarship was terminated and she was removed from the team because she reported the incident to the Athletics Department. Athletics officials say she was removed from the team because of misconduct regarding the
e-mail account of assistant coach lennifer Sewell.
*Junior basketball player Darnell Jackson was suspended nine games in November 2005 for accepting $5,000 worth of gifts from a Kansas booster. Jackson said he was unaware that the payments he received were illegal and repaid the money.
The biggest issue is the NCAA investigation involving numerous violations within the men's and women's basketball and football teams. Kansas imposed penalties on itself, but the NCAA could hand down additional penalties in five to seven weeks if it feels the self-imposed penalties were not severe enough.
As a Kansas fan, hearing all of this stuff makes me sick. I am tired of seeing Kansas in the news because of violations, fights, improper payments and everything else that has happened in the past 18 months.
Add consecutive first round losses to Bradley and Bucknell in the
NCAA Basketball Tournament, and it has been a tough time for Kansas fans during the past few years.
What we need is something that can help change what is being said about us. We need the football team to go out, win the Big 12 North and somehow find a way to make it into a BCS Bowl.
We need the basketball team, ranked No. 2 in the nation, to make it back to the Final Four and perhaps win a national championship to help quiet the whispers that we always choke come tournament time.
Many of the school's sports teams look to have promising season, so here's to hoping that one of them does something spectacular that will help return the word Kansas to what it once was: greatness.

Baseball to add junior varsity team
BY KAYVON SARRAF
With one year of experience under its belt, the University of Kansas club baseball team intends to improve upon last year's success.
"We hope to have more people try out since we'll have two teams, and more people will get a chance to play baseball," B.J. Rains, club president, said.
After tying for the Mid Plains South Conference championship a season ago, the team plans to add a junior varsity team and play more games this season, highlighted by the hosting of the Econo Lodge Baseball Classic in the fall.
"There's no question the talent is there," Crain said. "Some of our reserves would start at most of the schools we played. We just need to play more games, and we'll be in great shape."
Adding a second team will give more talented players an opportunity to play. A deep talent pool was something the Jayhawks used to their advantage last season. Rains said all team members played at the high school level, with some playing as high as the junior college level.
More games are on tap for this
Josh Crain, Overland Park junior and winner of the Cy Young Award, which is given to the team's best pitcher, said the team's only downfall last season was experience.
"Going into last spring, we were kind of behind since we didn't do much in the fall," Rains said.
season. In addition to the eighteen team tournament to take place in Lawrence, the club scheduled several more games in the fall. The team will play exhibitions throughout the season to give itself a head start on spring league action.
"The JV team is a great idea. It means more at bats for everyone. That's why we're all here — to extend our careers," Crain said.
Kanss sportswriter Kayvon Sarraf can be contacted at ksarraf@ kansan.com.
All club members are required to help raise funds for the club. As a club sport, the team is self-sufficient financially. Last year, the team played host to a trivia night dinner. Rains said it was a big hit
Anyone interested in participating on the club baseball team should attend a meeting at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 28 at the Student Recreation Fitness Center. For more information, e-mail Rains at stlku27@ku.edu or visit www.iayhawkclubbaseball.com.

Last year's roster could only hold 20 players, so some interested participants were unable to play. With a junior varsity team this season, the club intends to keep 40 players on the roster.

The Jayhawks have 16 players on the roster who are all capable of competing and helping the team, Bechard said.
"It's a little bit of a dress rehearsal prior to the season," coach Ray Bechard said. "We're bringing back our most recent alumni, and we'll play a best three out of five match."
Kansas returns starter Emily Brown, preseason All Big 12, and Jana Correa, senior outside hitter.
Kansas fans will be able to see the eight newcomers on the team, including Natalie Uhart, preseason Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, as well as the eight returning players.
The team looks to make its fourth-straight NCAA tournament appearance. Kansas finished eighth in the Big 12 last season, and was picked to finish seventh this season.
Kansas from Long Beach State, said she's ready to wear the Jayhawk uniform for the first time.
Alumni tentatively playing in the game include players from last year's team, Paula Caten and Josi Lima. Other alumni scheduled to attend are Danielle Geronymo, Abbie Jacobson, Molly LaMere, Laura Rohde, Molly Scavuzzo and Kylie Thomas.
"I'm really excited," she said. "It will be the first time my parents can come up and see me play in a long time, so they're really excited about it too."
the first regular season match will be Aug. 25 against Alabama A&M in Tuscaloosa, Ala., for the Crimson Tide Invitational.

TICKETS (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
One reason for the increase is that students are now getting more games for their bucks. With the NCAA now allowing teams to play 12 regular season football games instead of 11, KU will add an extra home game next year (2007) and play eight home games instead of seven. Kansas plays 19 games at Allen Fieldhouse this season, as opposed to 18 contests last year.
If a student does not want to buy a sports package, tickets for all football and basketball games are sold individually for $10. However, with a sports package, it costs students less than $5 dollars per game.
For students that still want to purchase a sports package, they are available at the ticket office at Allen Fieldhouse until the first football game on Sept. 2. Sports packages are no longer available through Enroll & Pay.

KANSAS STATE
(CONTINUED FROM 12A)
While these losses have turned some position battles into foregone conclusions, they will no doubt test the depth of this year's offense.
At quarterback, what was once a four-player race is now a coinflip decision. Senior Dylan Meier missed all of 2005 because of injury, but has six college starts to his name. For his career, Meier has completed 132 of 228 passes and has nine touchdowns to seven interceptions.
Prince's other option for quarterback is freshman John Freeman, who's been enrolled at Kansas State since January. Although Freeman has yet to take a collegiate snap, his high school accolades precede him.
Freeman passed for more than 7,000 yards in high school, was ranked the top player in the state of Missouri by Rivals.com, was a four-star recruit according to Rivals, and rated the fourth best pro-style quarterback in the nation by Rivals.
Meier's experience will probably earn him the spot, but Freeman could get the nod if Prince decides to look to the future and test him.
The Wildcats should be deep at running back with the top two spots already set. Senior Thomas Clayton rushed for 637 yards and four touchdowns in 2005 as Kansas
Right behind him is sophomore Parrish Fisher, who rushed for only 289 yards in 2005, but averaged six yards per carry.
Regardless of whom Prince puts under center, they will have some reliable receivers to throw to.
State's main back, and he will probably reclaim that title in 2006.
Junior Jordy Nelson was Kansas State's leading receiver last year with 45 catches for 669 yards and eight touchdowns. If defenses key on him, seniors Jermine Moreira and Yamon Figurs should get open. The two combined for 49 catches, 728 yards and a touchdown apiece. Junior tight end Rashaad Norwood will also see some passes in his direction after catching 13 balls for 160 yards and a touchdown last year.
On the offensive line, the Wildcats return senior Greg Wafford, junior John Hafferty, and sophomores Jordan Bedore and Caleb Handy, who have 38 career starts among them. A handful of players will compete for the fifth spot on the line, but could also find themselves stealing one of the previously mentioned players' spots.
Seniors Blake Seiler and Quintin Echols and sophomore Alphonso Moran return to the Wildcats' defensive line after combining for 100 tackles in 2005. Sophomore Ian Campbell and freshman Eric Childs should see a majority of the
action at the end positions
Kansas State's leading tackler from 2005, senior Brandon Archer, returns along with senior Maurice Mack to fill the outside linebacker spots. Senior Zach Diles should emerge as the team's top middle linebacker.
Continuing the trend on defense, Kansas State will also have a veteran secondary. Junior free safety Marcus Watts led the secondary with 71 tackles last year and will be joined by junior cornerbacks Bryan Baldwin and Byron Garvin. Senior Kyle Williams is the front-runner to take the strong safety spot with three career starts.
Despite all the changes Kansas State has undergone, there won't be many new faces starting on Saturdays. How well the players adapt to the new staff's philosophies will dictate whether that is a good thing or not for Kansas State fans.
"We believe the tougher the team, the better the team," Prince said. "So I think that's really what we've tried to do is create a fast team that has an opportunity to compete and run with these other teams."

》 LITTLE LEAGUE
World Series spot transforms preteens into stars
BY ALAN SCHER ZAGIER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Move over, Missouri Tigers. Take a seat, St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Chiefs. The Daniel Boone Little League National All Stars are the talk of the town these days.
Fans in this college sports hotbed don't usually obsess over preteens in braces who play on a shrunken baseball diamond with modified rules. Yet once the team clinched a spot in
the Little League World Series, which begins Friday in Williamsport, Pa., players like fireballing pitcher Ryan Phillips practically became household names.
In just three days, locals contributed nearly $30,000 toward travel costs for the team's parents. The city's only mall will broadcast the team's first three games this weekend on a big-screen television.
The Columbia Daily Tribune newspaper, with a weekday circulation near 20,000, is sending a staff
reporter to Pennsylvania to chronicle the team's performance. Even the types whose knowledge of sports usually begins and ends with larger-than-life figures like Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan are getting swept away.
"People who could care less about sports are talking about it," said Kyle Elfrink, a local sports radio talk show host.
The Daniel Boone squad advanced to the World Series by winning the Midwest regional Saturday night in
indianaapolis, 2-0 over Bloomfield, Iowa.
Then comes games against Portsmouth, N.H., at 7 p.m. Saturday and Beaverton, Ore., at 7 p.m. Monday. Each of the games will be shown live on ESPN or ESPN2.
The top two American teams in each 4-team pool advance to the semifinals next week, with the eventual winner of the U.S. bracket facing the winner of an eight-team international division.

VOLLEYBALL Transfer student receives junior status for season
At 8 a.m. last Monday, volleyball coach Ray Bechard gave Natalie Uhart great news. She was granted junior eligibility after transferring to Kansas from Long Beach State.
"Coach Bechard came into the gym and said, 'it's a great day to be a Jayhawk;' Uhart said. "I was just being sarcastic like, 'Yeah, woo.' Then he told me I was a junior, and I started jumping up and down. I was so happy."

Uhart, a 6-foot-2 middle blocker from Lansing, is expected to replace Josi Lima. Uhart, named the Big 12 preseason Newcoater of the Year, was granted a medical hardship waiver by the Big West Conference for the 2005 season after appearing in only five games at Long Beach State.

Student ticket prices rise
BY C.J. MOORE
Sports packages become more expensive, more home games to be included
For the first time in five years, the University of Kansas Athletics Department increased the price for a student sports package by $25.
A sports package includes
a ticket to every home football game at Memorial Stadium and gives students an opportunity to pick up men's basketball tickets, which are distributed throughout the season.
The package, once $125, now costs $150. The Athletics Department came to an agreement with Student Senate last spring to increase the fee. The University still provides some of the cheapest tickets to football and men's basketball games in the Big 12, even with the increase.
"Our feeling is we want to
keep it as inexpensive as we can for the students. The students are an important part of the crowd at Memorial Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse," Jim Marchiony, associate athletic director, said.

Jayhawks reflect on summer leagues
Experiences range from Minnesota to Alaska
BY ALISSA BAUER
The Jayhawks' baseball season ended June 4, but the team's players jumped right into playing for summer league teams around the country
Junior outfielder Brock Simpson's summer team, the Duluth Huskies
Junior outfit summer team, the of the Northwoods League in Minnesota,opened its season June 1.
playing for the San Diego Mavericks. He said he spent his summer doing more than just baseball. Baseball was the focus, but not nearly the way it is in Lawrence.
"It's pretty much just getting guys and umps on the field for games," Morrison said. "Which is all I needed."
"For me it was more like I needed a day off, not a break," Simpson said. "If I took a week off from baseball, I wouldn't know what to do with myself."
"For me it was more like I needed a day off, not a break. If I took a week off from baseball, I wouldn't know what to do with myself."
Simpson joined the Huskies after Kansas ended its postseason run and returned just days before classes began Thursday.
BROCK SIMPSON Junior outfielder
Unlike Simpson, junior second baseman Ryne Price headed back to Lawrence Aug. 2 and said he didn't even touch a baseball until Wednesday.
While Simpson played in Minnesota and another group of teammates played in California, others went to more exotic places. Price, along with junior outfielder John Allman, spent his summer playing for the Anchorage Glacier Pilots in Alaska.
Price said Alaska's bright sunlight lasts until approximately 3 a.m. every day.
He hung foil on the window to keep the sun out long enough to get some sleep. Foiled windows combined with hard-to-find Web sites and outdated stats highlight the difference between school and summer ball.
Junior third baseman Erik Morrison returned to his home state.
For one player, it was a chance to spend some time closer to home.
Even though the Huskies finished first in Northwoods League North Division, Simpson's second summer may not have been as beneficial as his first.
"For me as a freshman, I didn't play every day by
any means," Simpson said. "So I played summer ball, and I came back a much better ball player my sophomore year."
Even as a frequent starter and part-time leadoff hitter last season, he believes strongly in the importance of summer ball. He added many of his teammates in Duluth play for other Big 12 schools during the regular season.
He even had a chance to play against fellow Jayhawk Preston Land. Land's Alexandra Beetles took on the Huskies eight times this summer. Simpson remembered hoping his buddy would get hits when he came up, even though they were opponents.
"The difference between school ball and summer ball is when they're at bat for Nebraska or whoever," Simpson said of his teammates. "I'm hoping they get out."

Eric Washington, Detroit senior, and sophormores Mike Rivera, Shawnee Mission, and Joe Mortensen, Concord, Calif., are competing for the three starting spots at linebacker. These spots were vacated by last year's graduating seniors.
Linebackers ready to play
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
The beat goes on — or at least that's the talk surrounding this season's linebacking corps.
Whether or not this group can step in and fill the void created by the graduation of last season's three top tacklers — Nick Reid, Banks Floodman and Kevin Kane — is one of the biggest question marks surrounding the Kansas football team this season.
Despite losing all three starting linebackers from last year's squad, this year's replacements think they'll be able to step in and fill the void.
While not the most experienced group on the defensive unit, Kansas
coach Mark Mangino said the group has what it takes to be successful.
"They are an athletic and fast group of kids with a nasty streak to them," Mangino said. "I have an idea of one or two who might win starting jobs, but I can't tell you for sure."
Although no starters have been announced, it's believed that senior Eric Washington, sophomores Mike Rivera, James Holt and Joe Mortensen and redshirt freshman Jake Schermer are all in the mix for the three vacant starting spots. Nearly all saw time with the firstteam defense in an open practice Aug. 5.
While none of the candidates
for the three starting spots saw significant time on defense last year, all but Shermer saw the field in certain defense alignments or special teams.
The fact that they've seen time on the field has made the returners, like Rivera, more hungry for playing time.
As a redshirt freshman, Rivera played in all 12 games, recording 20 tackles, the most of any returning linebacker. Holt was one of just three freshmen to play last season, he finished last season with six tackles.
"We've been around here for a while." Rivera said. "We're just in a hurry to get in there this year and
"He's earned it," Mangino said. "He's a 100 percent player every snap. He's getting better and better and he's competing for a position over there."
do a lot of good things."
Schermer might be the most surprising potential starter considering he's never played a down of collegiate football. After playing on the scout team last season, Mangino said Schermer has a shot at a starting spot.

Kansas State to receive coaching assistance from former NFL coordinators
Ron Prince, Kansas State football coach, plans to utilize the talents of former NFL coordinators to improve the team. Prince hired James Franklin to work on offense and Raheem Morris to work on defense.
Ron Prince
Kansas State
BY SHAWN SHROYER
It's been nearly nine months since Kansas State last took the field. Since then, several players have left and a new coaching staff has been hired, but one thing hasn't changed.
Kansas State finished sixth in the Big 12 North in 2005 and conference media has predicted that the Wildcats will do the same in 2006 under new head coach Ron Prince.
Prince, however, has different aspirations.
We came here to win champions and to compete for the title.
To make Kansas State an elite program once again, Prince and a pair of coordinators with NFL experience will work with the team.
prince said. "And so that's what our objective is, and that's what our plan is, and I think our players have been steadfast with that, and we are not going to be distracted."
James Franklin, a wide receiver coach for the Green Bay Packers last season, will take over the Wildcat offense, and Raheem Morris, who spent the last four years working for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense, will coordinate the Wildcat defense.
1
As a result, Kansas State will run more spread formations on offense and zone schemes on defense. However, Prince wants Kansas State to remain a physical program and maintain the characteristics that defined Kansas State at the height of the Bill Snyder era.
"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."
While some players like what they see so far from the new regime, others have decided to move on. Since April, eight players have left the program.
Freshman quarterback Kevin Lopina was the first to go. Not far behind were senior quarterback Allen Webb, sophomore quarterback Allan Evridge, freshman running back Courtney Greer, freshman wide receiver Val Taylor, sophomore wide receiver Ro Grigsby, freshman tight end Nate Prater and sophomore offensive lineman Ryan Schmidt.

The two schools are now tied with five other public schools - Auburn University, SUNY-Binghamton, University of Tennessee, University of Alabama, University of California-Riverside — at 39th among public universities and 88th overall. Kansas improved its ranking six spots, while Missouri fell one spot.
In 2003, Missouri was ranked 13 spots higher than Kansas among public universities. Since then, the gap has narrowed but never to a point where Kansas was tied with Missouri.
Last year, the University shipped to 97th overall and 45th among public universities. Chancellor Robert Hemenway is pleased with the school's climb.
"Any time that your rankings improve, you welcome that information," Hemenway said. "I think it's recognition that the University is well thought of by its students."
Hemenway, who said he wanted
the University to be ranked among the top 25 public universities, said he was happy to see improvements led to a better ranking. Among the improvements Hemenway noted were having more classes taught by full-time faculty and reducing the number of large classes.
"We're pleased to see the rankings go up, but we're even more pleased to see the things we've done be reflected in the rankings." Hemenway said.
Despite his enthusiasm, Hemenway said the University was not driven by rankings and that if the University was doing its job, the rankings would take care of themselves.
KU spokeswoman Lynn Bretz agreed. Bretz said the rankings are prone to fluctuation outside the University's control and could not be trusted as an absolute authority in determining the strength of an institution.
KU students said the rankings were not important to their view of the University.
"I personally don't think the rankings take into account college atmosphere." Gary Tilkens, Oklahoma City senior, said. "Id be surprised if the top 10 public universities had better atmosphere than KU. The
rankings wouldn't affect my decision to come here"
And though the rankings themselves might not matter to most students, Hemenway noted that the University's position in relation to Missouri would probably garner some notice.
"It probably doesn't hurt to have a little healthy competition with Missouri." Hemenway said.

Faculty wins prestigious teaching fellowships
BY KIM LYNCH
Puzzled faces greeted the swarm of people that entered William Westerbeke's class Thursday morning to present him a W.T. Kemper Fellowship.
"We wanted you to know what an absolutely great teacher you had," Chancellor Robert Hemenway said to Westerbeke's law class. "We think you probably knew that anyway."
The Kemper award identifies the top 20 teachers and advisers at the University of Kansas each year. Each recipient receives a check for $5,000.
The program is supported by the KU Endowment Association, Commerce Bank and the William T. Kemper Foundation.
Seven fellowships were handed out both Thursday and Friday. Six more fellowships will be awarded today.
Lisa Friis, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, wiped away a tear after she received her award. It was a "very, very nice surprise" she said.
Friis said she should have known something was up when she thought about how people in her department had been acting.
Westerbeke said he had 32 years of wonderful students and that it was "almost criminal" to be paid.
"I greatly appreciate it," he said. "It's humbling when sometimes you read the evaluations."

The week-long recruiting process for the University of Kansas sororities came to a shrieking close Saturday, when prospective members packed the Kansas Union Ballroom and received bids from the chapters they will now call home.
"It's about to get loud," warned Blair Wendlandt, Prairie Village senior and an active member of Alpha Delta Pi. 1600 Oxford Road.
The University's thirteen Panhellenic Association sorority chapters awarded bids to prospective members. The excitement surrounding the week left both active and new chapter members ecstatic for the years ahead.
"The most exciting part is definitely adding to our chapter," Wendlandt said. "Increasing our sisterhood, and not only growing in number but in the personalities we add."
When asked about what goes on during the week, active members said it was about getting to know the women going through recruitment and vice versa. No other information was provided.
On the final day, the prospective members sat anxiously awaiting their bid cards in the ballroom. For many of the women, including Lauren Swagery, Topeka freshman, the week-long recruitment process left her enthusiastic and spirited about her potential outcomes.

Spotlight on KU Organizations: FIGHT
BY JESSICA SAIN-BAIRD
One of the newest organizations at the University of Kansas, Fighting Ignorance of Global Humanitarian Threats (FIGHT), only held its first meeting in February 2006, but hopes to help change the world.
"Our goal is to raise awareness of and promote action to stop humanitarian crises all over the world," Mark Skoglund, Olathe sophomore and FIGHT President, said.
According to Skoglund, one of the organization's greatest concerns during the 2006-07 school year is the
Skoglund is referring to the conflict and genocide - or "ethnic cleansing" - that has claimed the lives of tens to hundreds of thousands of people, including many children.
genocide in Darfur, Sudan.
The organization's hope is that KU students will feel compelled and affected by these issues enough to want to raise awareness and create sweeping change.
The group already manages international action at other campuses around the United States and is also in charge of chapters in London and Rome.
"To us, it is unacceptable that conflicts like genocide in Sudan go ignored by much of the world," Skoglund said.
He also added that FIGHT's agenda will include the ongoing conflicts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda.
Skoglund said that college students have often been the driving
force behind major change, especially regarding the apartheid in South Africa.
FIGHT's first meeting of the year is tonight at 8 p.m. in the Parlor Room of the Kansas Union, located on the fifth floor.
To get involved, just e-mail Eric Skoglund at kufight@gmail.com or attend one of the meetings held every other week.
Meetings will continue throughout the semester every other Monday at varying locations.
Even though FIGHT has only been in action for less than a semester, it has already gained 50 active members and looks to grow a larger base during its first full school year in existence.

Aquarium officials hope an exhibit that opens next week and runs through Sept. 5 will prompt the creation of a Guinness World Record for the most two-headed animals on display.
So far, the aquarium has lined up 10 two-headed snakes and turtles, including "We," the aquarium's rare albino two-headed rat snake. The other nine animals are owned by Fred Lally of West Fork, Ark.

"It should be a huge two- headed party," aquarium president Leonard Sonnenschein said Tuesday.
Spiceland Postmaster Judy Dishman, who is away from her office on leave, bought the postcard because it featured a country view of the Spiceland area, about 40 miles east of Indianapolis. Dishman noticed the postcard was addressed to 82-year-old Charles "Rocky" Rose of Spiceland, so she delivered it.
The aquarium has been trying to breed We since failing to sell the snake online in January. Officials had hoped it would bring $150,000, but there were no blders and two subsequent offers were under $50,000.

The card was from Rose's late mother, Dollie Rose. The mother and son used penny postcards to exchange news during the 1940s, while the son was working in Lima, Ohio, and the mother was in Spiceland, about 100 miles west.
Newton said the incident happened nearly a year ago in the women's department, as she was shopping for a blouse. The only one in her size was on the mannequin. As a salesclerk was removing the garment, the dummy's arm flew off and struck Newton's head, according to her lawsuit.
The blow also cracked a molar, which led to a root canal, she said.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.

Hallock (center) and Ben Sutherland (right) dead on the floor in a performance Saturday night entitled "Wol-Mart." The performance was part of the Lawrence Arts Center's Junk Yard Doqma 10-minute play festival.
Art Center displays local artists' work
BY DARLA SLIPKE
Nathan Towns was skeptical that his screenplay "A Skeleton in the Closet" could be made into a play for the Lawrence Art Center's 10-minute theater festival. The Lawrence freshman submitted his script anyway and during the past two months, the cast and crew adapted the script for the stage.
The play debuted with seven other short plays during the annual play festival last weekend. The festival will be staged again this weekend at 7 and 10 p.m. Friday and 8 p.m. Saturday at the Lawrence Art Center's EMU Theater, 940 New Hampshire St. The festival showcases the work of local artists and allows them to perfect their work through the process of staging it.
"Scripts undergo changes as the work on them in rehearsal progresses," said Ron Willis, professor emeritus of theatre and film. Willis worked with the festival's coproducer Jeff Sorrels to write "It Happens Every Saturday."
"Playwrights learn from seeing their work staged — or even just read aloud — by others," Willis said. "The nature of theatre is such that the page is really an inadequate substitute for the stage."
The festival is also an opportunity for actors, actresses, stage technicians and directors to develop and demonstrate their skills.
"It is fun, but it is also hard work that challenges people to grow — as artists and as people," said Honey Hallock, Stillwater, Okla., senior who directed, acted and served a
stage manager during the festival.
In addition to Hallock, other festival participants were involved with multiple parts of the production. Gwethalyn Williams, an administrative associate for the department of geology, directed one of the plays and sold refreshments during intermission.
"Everybody has to do a little bit of everything, but that's one thing we all really enjoy about it," Williams said. "Once you're involved, you can try out different things."
The participants encouraged others, regardless of major or ability, to get involved with EMU theatre.
Willis said.
"The unresolved itch that drives a person to entertain imaginative possibilities in the fictional world of a play is a very humanizing and ultimately worthwhile impulse,"
By creating something that both participants and audience members can enjoy, the festival allows the theater community to connect with the community of Lawrence, Willis said the plays gave audience members a chance to expand and exercise their imaginations.
"It is seldom simply a matter of whether they like or do not like a particular play," Willis said.
"It is rather that they have gone someplace vicariously and had the chance to try out their responses at what they have encountered."

GAP helps connect cultures
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
The coordinator of the University of Kansas Global Awareness Program said she hopes a slew of e-mails she sent this month could help recruit more students to the program.
"Many students may not know that they already possess one or two of the components needed for certification in the program," said Jane Irungu, coordinator of the Global Awareness Program. "The e-mails were a good way to outreach to them."
The program aims to provide international experience to undergraduate students through foreign language programs, study abroad and international activities.
GAP.
GAP was implemented at
Julio Castillo, Bolivia junior, has been an ambassador with GAP for two years. Castillo said the program has brought a global perspective within reach.
"The whole purpose of the program is to motivate people to get interested in different cultures and societies," Castillo said. "I've been able to meet and interact with people from all around the world. This allows me to get a different idea of their cultures and ways of living and motivates me to go to their countries

In addition to the e-mail campaign, Irungu also attended each summer orientation session to encourage students to register with
the University in the fall of 2004 and has been growing since then. Irungu said about 1,000 students participate in the program and about 224 have completed the program in the last few years.
and experience their cultures."
Certification is open to any student in any major. To complete the program and receive certification, students must fulfill at least two of three different criteria, including
participating in a study abroad program or maintain status as an international student at the University; completing at least two semesters of foreign language or international study courses or complete KU English proficiency requirements; or being involved in at least 60 units of participation in international related clubs, programs or activities.
Students who complete the program receive special designation on their transcripts and can list the certification on their resumes as they search for employment after graduation.
Irungu said she thinks participants will have an advantage in the job market because employers will realize their international experience. She thinks participants will have a greater understanding and awareness of issues that employees face in a diverse market.
"The world has become more of a small village," Irungu said. "Everyone is interconnected, everyone walks with other societies, so our goal with GAP is that undergraduates are prepared to walk in that global society after graduation."
Interested students can register online at www.international.ku.edu and then follow the requirements on their own. The program is free to all students and sustained by student tuition enhancement.
Irungu said she expects to see the results of the campaign this fall and hopes more students will sign up for the program.

In other words, they say you need to turn off the TV and wake up to the world. Fair enough. But the next step — what to do — has been confined and regulated to the point that our generation's rebels resemble the mocha-drinking, iPod-listening parodies of 1960s protest figures you see today.
It's time for some new energy. On Friday, a group of people went through the middle of campus. Did you see them? They all wore weird colorful clothing and the one in the back carried a boombox with funk music blaring out the speakers.
This group out to freak the squares was also a copy of the 1960s rebel movement, straight out of the pages of "The Electric
Kool-Aid Acid Test." But there is a difference between them and today's mainstream activists, and it shows what has survived from the 1960s and what has been lost.
What has survived is a subdued version of the Vietnam protestors, with their activism always regulated by time, place and manner.
What has been lost is the spontaneous stuff. The weird stuff. Or even stuff that isn't necessarily weird, but isn't prescribed and predictable.
For instance, last year a KU student named Aaron Olsen, through his own initiative, started a garden on campus in what was formerly a weed patch near Smith Hall. The project wasn't revolutionary, but it was something new and that gave it a certain vitality.
Yes, it's time to turn your back on the tried and tired and worn-out action. And head someplace else.

This variety allows faculty and students to use course materials that best suit their needs. Yet despite these advances, tuition and student fees have increased faster than the average new textbook price.

》COMMENTARY
Progressives need to work harder
Enlightened citizens of the liberal oasis that is Lawrence, rejoice — the rest of the state is finally catching up to you. Earlier this month, in a statewide election high on publicity and low on voter turnout, Kansas relinquished its role as laughingstock of the late-night TV circuit (for now) when it ousted an anti-evolution majority from the state school board. Maybe those bumper stickers made a difference after all.
C2
Taken with Bush's public approval nosedive, things seem to be looking pretty good for those on the left side of the spectrum, in Kansas and across the nation. Has the conservative movement finally run its course? Does Conan O'Brien need to start looking for some new material? Don't hold your breath. Unfortunately, as the saying goes, all that is apparent is not real.
BY BEN WILKINS
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINIONKANSAN.COM
At best, this month's elections should be seen as a partial victory for liberals. The religious right may have lost its power to the content of our state's textbooks, but its candidates won several seats in the state House of Representatives. And Jim Barnett
won the Republican gubernatorial primary with the backing of the farright Kansas Republican Assembly. Sorry to have to break it to you, progressive-minded students, but conservatives aren't going anywhere. Don't get me wrong — there's nothing I'd like more than to see them disappear. But the fact is that these days conservatives are the only ones out there doing the hard work of base-building that has to be done in order to gain political power.
Case in point: the anti-immigrant group FAIR spent decades under the radar, building support for its cause in cities and towns across the country, before immigration became such
a visible and controversial issue.
To bring the issue closer to home, students from Wichita might remember the massive anti-abortion demonstrations staged by Operation Rescue in the 1990s. Would the recent nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court have been so conservative were it not for the grassroots movement against abortion? Probably not.
Conservatives are winning because they have managed to capture the hearts and minds of many (but by no means all) ordinary Americans. Progressives, meanwhile, have seemingly lost their appeal. However, this wasn't always the case.
For example, in the early sixties, black and white students from around the country spent their summer vacations in the Deep South, under the constant threat of death, conducting voter registration drives among disenfranchised black sharecroppers. They did so not just in an effort to give help to the "needy", but because they realized that positive change in America comes from below, not from above. They were right
— the political system in America
underwent a drastic transformation as a result of their work
That mindset has been lost over the years. Nowadays, progressive-minded college students are more likely to disdain average Americans than to find common ground with them. More often than not, if they come from the Midwest, this leads to an intense desire to leave everything behind. I've lost count of how many friends of mine, disgusted with all things relating to Kansas, have fled their home state to the relative comforts of liberal havens such as New York, Chicago and — worst of all — San Francisco.
There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but it's no way to make social change. Conservatives will continue to make gains if the cynical, anti-populist mentality of liberals persists. And until we start pointing the blame at ourselves, instead of our fellow Kansans, things will only continue to get worse.

COMMENTARY
Do your part, volunteer to help others
I was walking out of another unoriginal attempt at a blockbuster movie, arguing with my 11-year-old sister about what she called Hillary Duff's "brilliant performance" and thinking about where to go for dinner.
Then I caught sight of her: a woman no older than 30, wearing a ragged shirt, torn jeans and in need of a shower. Her unwashed face screamed misery as she sat in the alley between the theater and the parking lot with a cardboard paper sign asking moviegoers to spare a buck or two for her dinner.
Momentarily I was overcome with a terrible sting of sadness, shadowed by an odd guilt, for which I could not place an exact reason. I reached for my wallet to find that all I had was a debit card, no cash — and immediately felt worse.

Driving back, the guilt from before situated its way into my thoughts. The countless opportunities and daily luxuries I had been given spiraled in my mind, and what bothered me most was that I had never considered them as such until that moment.
General questions should be directed to the editor at editor@kansan.com
An old proverb says that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link; then a society can only be as strong as its weakest members.
If we devote more time to the rich and famous — constantly reading and watching shows about them, spending thousands of dollars on their movies, music, sporting events and clothing lines — then the people next door who wonder where their next meal will come from, how they can help their sick child, where they should go when it starts to rain — if we spend countless hours promoting our own well-being, despite what it may mean to the rest of the world, caring more about ourselves, our worries, problems, goals and dreams.
- that shows exactly how strong our society is.
Go through your closet: There is bound to be an outdated pair of jeans, some T-shirts that are nearly
glued to the hangers from non-use or a pair of old sneakers you will never wear again. Take them to a donation center.
Maybe instead of spending that extra hour each night watching re-runs of "South Park," you could stop by the shelter and see if they need a hand. Join a children's community outreach program and spend an hour or two a week playing board games with some fifth-graders. Pass by the donation box and drop in the loose change that would end up under the cushion cushions anyway.

HEALTH
Freshmen avoid college pounds Universities help students attain healthier lifestyles
BY STEVE HARTSOE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DURHAM, N.C. — Sunny Dawson ran two miles every other day when she started her freshman year at the University of Southern California. But the lure of the cafeteria near her dorm became too much to resist.
"Everyone I know went crazy, 'Oh my God, pizza. Oh my God, ice cream,'" she said. Dawson soon stopped running and "started pilling up the food in the cafeteria."
By Christmas break, the 5-foot-10 native of Haleiwa, Hawaii, had gained 10 pounds.
"I realized I don't have to be a victim of this and started making better choices," she said. "I ate a lot of salads and cut out sodas altogether. By spring break I was normal again. I was stoked."
As high school graduates start college this month and next, universities are offering a range of tools to help them avoid Dawson's mistake. While experts say the so-called "Freshman 15" is usually only 5 to 7 pounds, it's a common experience for many college newcomers faced with unlimited cafeteria food, late-night pizza binges and snacking that comes with irregular student schedules.
"The patterns and the habits that students get into in the first two to three months of school is what
tends to carry them through the rest of their time on campus," said Jen Ketterly, nutrition and fitness coordinator for campus health services at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
At nearby Duke University, the private college of about 6,000 undergraduates offers an interactive nutrition workshop for freshmen with eating problems. It includes tips for quick, healthy meals in the dorm, and how to eat the right way in an all-you-can eat dining hall.
"A lot of kids really don't have a clue of what they're not supposed to eat and what constitutes a healthy diet," says Jenny Favret, the nutrition manager at Duke's Eating Disorders Program.
The problem isn't always weight gain: Some new students lose weight because they're no longer getting three meals a day from Mom and Dad.
"Often times students have a very difficult schedule. They don't have enough time to eat (properly) so they eat a lot of snacks," said Joshua Solano, 20, of Florida, who'll be a junior at Duke this year. "I actually lost a little weight from my irregular eating habits."
Campus cafeterias have improved their menus over the years and now offer more healthy choices, such as salad bars, said Kim Dude, director of the Wellness Resource Center at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
"Then the issue is how to educate students on how to make the right choice," she said. At Missouri, students are trained to make presentations to their peers at residence halls, fraternities and sororites on eating healthy, handling stress, exercising and generally leading a healthy lifestyle, she said.
Social pressures also often intensify at college, where students have more opportunity to compare themselves with each other because they spend so much time together, officials at several schools said. The super-fit bodies that saturate TV shows and commercials can exacerbate such problems.
At Southern Cal, there are seminars for freshmen taught by USC professors that deal with messages that can lead to damaging self-images. One such class — "Impossible Bodies: Plastic Surgery as a New Social Problem" — explores the relationship between viewing plastic surgery reality shows to dissatisfaction over a particular body part.
Dawson, a 19-year-old business major entering her sophomore year, will lead a program for about 65 of her fellow dorm residents — mostly freshmen — on making healthy living choices. It will include exercising together and tips on healthy eating, she said.
"A lot of freshmen," she said, "just don't know what they're getting into right now."
Completely compatible."
BID DAY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Both prospective and active chapter members agree on the success of formal recruitment.
Leigh Radcliff, Olateh senior and active member of Kappa Delta, 1602 High Drive, said the week-long process solidifies the chapter's decisions during recruitment week.
"We had great girls that will benefit in and with the house," she said. "It's definitely an advantage that the girls had to be open-minded by trying every individual house."

CRIME
Missouri man admits past crimes Failed carjacking leads to man's confession of five-year-old murders
BY HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DREXEL, Mo. — A rural Drexel man was charged Sunday with one count of murder as investigators scoured a rural plot of land where they think up to seven people may have been killed.
"He can say that he killed 50, but we have to prove that he actually did," Stocking said.
Michael Lee Shaver Jr., 33, was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action related
Shaver and another man, Nathan Wasmer, 27, of Peculiar, were traveling at a high rate of speed Friday when Shaver lost control of his vehicle and wrecked, Stocking said. He said the two men tried to carjack a witness, but fled after they couldn't get into the woman's vehicle.

to a killing that occurred in the fall of 2001. Officials said Shaver told investigators he has killed seven people on the property, all of whom he met through narcotics transactions.
The witness
said Shaver, who was arrested Friday after a failed carjacking, might have been exaggerating about the killings.
CAPT. CHUCK STOCKING Cass County Sheriff's Department
"It was a spontaneous statement he made while he was being interviewed for the carjacking"
cold a 911 dispatcher that the two men were armed with guns. The men were tracked down to a residential area, where Wasmer surrendered after an hour-long standoff and Shaver was found about a half-hour later hiding in a
nearby yard, officials said.
Stocking said Shaver told deputies as he was being placed into a patrol car that he had knowledge
of human remains on the property where he lives, and that he wanted to talk to someone about it.
"It was a spontaneous statement he made while he was being interviewed for the carjacking," said Stocking, who added that he was skeptical of the claims, at first.
"I didn't believe him," Stocking said. "I just flat didn't believe him."
Stocking said Shaver claimed that after he killed the men - all between the ages of 20 and 40 and from the Kansas City area - he dismembered the bodies, burned the parts in a fireplace in his bedroom, then used a hammer to crush large bones and skulls.
While being interviewed later Friday, Shaver told investigators that he had shot and killed seven people at his residence during drug transactions so he could take their money and drugs.
He said he then spread the bone fragments around his back yard.
A search warrant was issued Friday evening, and the first bone fragments were found Saturday.
JERICHO (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Some North Lawrence business owners are open to the idea of allowing CBS and "Jericho" take over the town because it could bring business and notoriety.
Rick Renfo, owner of Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St., thought the show would be great for North Lawrence and Lawrence as a whole because it would be a good time.
"Any excuse for a party is a good excuse," Renfro said.
The event may involve changing the name of the town to Jericho for a "week or so," said Stan Herd, a crop artist and Lawrence resident, who was sought out to create field art for the event. Herd is also responsible for bringing the event to North
Lawrence. His reasoning was that North Lawrence was its own little town separate from Lawrence with its own bars and restaurants. Also, the made-for-TV movie "The Day After" was filmed in Lawrence.
Herd is cutting the design in the sweet corn field at Bismarck Gardens, a vegetable farm at 1616 N. 1700 Road. The image will be a silhouette of a boy standing on the roof of a barn looking at a mushroom cloud in the distance, said Mary Ross, who owns the farm with her husband Pat. Jericho and CBS will be written in the field beneath the picture. The image will stretch 20 acres.
Ross said she and her husband were happy to let Herd, an old friend,
use their field because it had already been harvested and their business had closed for the season in the beginning of August.
Herd said there may be other promotional possibilities, but added that he hoped the event would entice "folks from the coasts" to return to Lawrence to shoot movies or television shows.
"There some consensus, if the show goes well it will bring some activity here," Herd said.

Katie Martinicch, freshman setter, and Savannah Noyes, sophomore middle blocker, reach out to block an attack by Paula Caten, KU alumna, Saturday night during an exhibition match against KU alumni. The Jayhawks won all three of the games played.
All work and no play won't keep the alumni away
SBC
Volleyball scrimmage allows Jacobson, Caten to reflect on the past
BY JEFF DETERS
When asked whether they would play another volleyball game, Abbie Jacobson and Paula Caten jumped at the opportunity.
They were two of the alumni who faced off against current Jayhawks in Saturday's volleyball exhibition game at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The current Jayhawks swept the match, but the alumni enjoyed the chance to reunite.
"I love these girls. They're like family to me," Jacobson said. "And it's always fun to come back and get your hand on a volleyball."
"This was as competitive an alumni team as we've had put together." Bechard said.
Though Jacobson described her own performance during the game as "rusty", and the current Jayhawks won all three games, 30-26, 30-28, 30-27, coach Ray Bechard noted the alumni's ability to keep the score close.
Neither Jacobson nor Caten prepared much for the game because both have been busy with other activities in their lives.
Jacobson is currently living and working in Kansas City, as a personal trainer for Impact Fitness, and her responsibilities now are far different than when she was an athlete.
"I'm in charge of helping clients reach their goals. A lot of them have weight problems, and I help them with strength and conditioning and reaching optimal fitness," Jacobson said.
Like Jacobson, Caten's everyday life has also changed. Caten no longer has the demands of being a student-athlete, but she is finishing up her degree in communication studies this semester at the University of Kansas, and hopes to get an internship.
in addition, Caten is also mother to her 5-year old daughter, Paola.
Caten said her mother always helped take care of Paola while she was busy with volleyball and school, but now a lot of the responsibility is her own.
"I have to worry about her everyday life now," Caten said. "Whenever
I don't have anything to do, I have her."
Paola was at the game, and after it was finished, she clung to her mother's side as Caten reminisced about what she misses most about playing at the University.

The Jayhawks went to Pepperdine and beat Long Beach State in the first round.
"It's really special to be on a team, to share a common goal and to finally achieve it. It was a blessing," Jacobson said.

team could achieve similar goals.
"They're gonna be a solid team," she said. "Coach B really gets them prepared well for a tough conference."

"It was kind of crazy when I committed here because everyone was like 'What? You're in Manhattan land.' Jacobson said. "But I chose to challenge a different road. It was the best decision I ever made."

Jacobson said coming to play at the University was a bit of a surprise to her small hometown of St. Mary's, which is about thirty miles east of Manhattan.

As he took the stage at the Kansas Kickoff Rally on Friday night, coach Mark Mangino observed how much support for the KU football program has increased.
"In 2002, KU football couldn't have a party in a phone booth," Mangino joked.
With anticipation rising for the upcoming season, more than 2,300 Jayhawk fans showed up for the rally. It showed just how far the program has come as Mangino enters his fifth season at the University of Kansas.
The Kansas Alumni Association and the Athletics Department jointly organized the rally that was held in Prairie Village to generate support from the nearly 75,000 alumni who live in the Kansas City metro area.

presence on game days.
The rally featured food vendors, spirit tables, play areas for kids and a towering inflatable Jayhawk that
took over the Corinth Square parking lot at the corner of 83rd Street and Mission Road.
The attractions set the mood for a short speech by Mangino, who spoke briefly about the team's chances for the season, as well as the importance of fans from outside of Lawrence supporting the football program.
"It's good to see so many people excited about KU football," Mangino said.
Lawrence residents Greg and Marla Welsh made the trek east for the rally.
The event brought together fans young and old with varying ties to the University. It was directed by John Holt, a Kansas City TV anchor and Kansas alumnus.
Ted Lischer, Leawood resident and 1989 graduate, brought his two kids to the rally, and decided he didn't want them to miss a single game this season.
"We're going to buy a season ticket pass for my wife and two boys for the first time" he said.
While not alums themselves, the two certainly could be mistaken for KU grads. The couple attends Kansas athletic events from baseball to swimming, and they welcomed the excitement created by Mangino and the football team.

"From what he said, they're supposed to be quicker and faster," Greg Welsh said of Mangino's speech. "It's going to be an exciting season, I hope."

Lucky goal saves Jayhawks from defeat

Jessica Kilpatrick wasted no time getting back into playing form as she scored the Jayhawks' first and only goal during a 1-1 tie at Drake on Friday night. The senior midfielder made her return to soccer after almost two years with game
The senior midfelder made her return to soccer after almost two years without playing a game because of personal reasons.
"It was good for her and for her confidence," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "She was just in the right place at the right time."
In the 23rd minute, Kilpatrick collected the ball off of a deflection kicked it in for the jayhawks' lone goal. Because of Kilpatrick's good fortune, the Jayhawks were able to
escape from what could have been a disastrous night
Only three minutes into the match, the Bulldogs were able to catch the Jayhawks defense sleeping as Drake forward Liz Woerle headed in forward Danielle Oswald's corner kick past Kansas sophomore goalkeeper Iulie Hanley.
"We came out and looked like deer in the headlights," Francis said.
On the other end of the field, Kansas was not quite as polished. With freshmen Shannon McCabe and Kim Boyer starting at forward next to senior Holly Gault, the
After the early goal, the Jayhawks allowed only two shots on goal and no corner kicks for the rest of the game.
offense could never muster much of an attack.
"We just weren't on the same page on offense," Francis said. "We had two freshmen starting and a player (Gault) who's new to the position. That's three girls who have never played up there."
After their only exhibition, the Jayhawks have five days remaining to prepare for the start of the regular season when they play to Furman at 5 p.m. Friday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

Woods started with a 10-foot birdie to seize the lead. He finished with a tap-in par to match his scoring record at the PGA Championship, finishing at 18-under 270 and walking off the 18th green with a broad smile.
That wasn't the case at Hoylake last month, where Woods sobbed on his caddie's shoulder after winning his first major since his father died in May.
He paid tribute to Earl Woods again, his voice steady this time. He even managed a wisecrack about how his father taught him to putt.
"I kept saying all day, 'Just put to the picture.' He actually knew what he was talking about," Woods said.
He became the first player in history to go consecutive years winning at least two majors. And now, only Jack Nicklaus and his 18 professional majors stand in the way of Woods become golf's greatest champion.
This celebration was routine.
Woods twice made birdie putts over 40 feet, and the margin of victory might have been greater had he not aimed for the middle of the green and lagged for par over the closing holes.
Shaun Micheel won the battle for second place, about the only drama on a sunny afternoon outside Chicago.
with a ruthless display of efficiency Sunday, closing with a 4-under 68 for a five-shot victory and his 12th career major.

Woods plucked the ball out of the cup and put it in his pocket, thrust his fists in the air and gave a thumbsup sign as he walked over to pick up the Wanamaker Trophy.
Even the race for the Ryder Cup fizzled, with no change in the standings.
"This is sweet. This is really sweet," he said.

So much for those worries about Woods after he missed the cut at the U.S. Open. He now has won his last three tournaments, the first time he has done that in five years.
He became the first player to win the PGA Championship twice on the same course. Woods outlasted Sergio Garcia by one shot at Medinah in 1999. This one was never close.

In addition to Noyes, Bechard said freshmen Brittany Williams and Paige Mazour, as well as junior Caitlin Mahoney would all be capable of filling the middle blocker position.
Despite Uhart's injury, the team played well against the alumni team, winning the first three games, 30-26, 30-28 and 30-27.
"The two areas we really wanted to excel in were pass and serve," Bechard said. "The pass was very strong. Now, the serve we need to pick that up a little bit."
Bechard said the team did some

After the three game sweep, Emily Brown, junior opposite hitter/setter, said the team definitely got off to a good start for the season.
"I think we have a good group that clicks well together, no matter who's in or who's out." Brown said. "We are very versatile."
Brown led the team with 14 kills.
The alumni team gave the Jayhawks a scare in the second match, but came up short. No statistics were kept for the alumni team. but former manager Phil Oberzan gave the alumni team some helpful athleticism.
Lima was on the alumni roster but did not attend the scrimmage. Lima will be heading overseas to play professional volleyball in Spain.
Outside the game itself, Brown said the scrimimage was a good way to show the newcomers the game-day ritual from the pregame meal to getting out on the court.
"I think it's really good for the newcomers, the freshmen, to get a chance to see what Kansas volleyball
is all about," she said.
Kansas will begin its season Friday in Tuscaloosa, Ala., at the Crimson Tide Invitational against Alabama A&M, followed by matches against Miami and Alabama on Saturday.
KU's first home match will be Aug. 29 against UMKC.

A consulting group studied the issue and found that each week during the season, $1.1 billion in productivity is lost to fantasy football. During the season, that beats out the $3.8 billion lost to the NCAA basketball tournament.
A whole industry has sprung up around the craze. Head to any newsstand this month, and you'll see an entire rack of fantasy football preview magazines. It's the male version of Cosmo or Glamour magazines, except instead of the 10 secrets to a successful diet, it's the 10 secrets to a successful kicking game.
Even The University Daily Kansan is joining the party. The first installment of Evan Hengel's weekly fantasy football column will run this Wednesday.
So don't fight the trend. Just give in, and make fantasy football a part of your fall semester. And remember to draft Peyton Manning.
Mangino said that it's likely Kemp will be healthy in time for the season opener Sept. 2 against Northwestern State, but that Stuckey and Holt will not. He also said that senior line-backer Eric Washington was "a little dinged up," but that the injury was not serious.
Redshirt freshman safety Darrell Stuckey, sophomore linebacker James Holt and senior safety Jerome Kemp all missed Friday's practice with undisclosed injuries. Both Holt and Stuckey were projected starters.
"The way I look at injuries, one door closes, another one opens," Mangino said. "It's an opportunity for other players to shine and that's the way we've always gone about it and we believe that here."

Anyone can live the dream with a fantasy football team
ALEXANDRA MARTIN
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
MPHILLIPS@KANSAN.COM
As recently as five years ago, identifying yourself as a fantasy football player carried with it a negative connotation.
Those people were the math geeks who didn't really understand what football was all about, or the compulsive gamblers who needed a reason to watch the Arizona Cardinals. But no longer.
Fantasy football is now mainstream.
Much like NASCAR it may not be universally popular but it must be universally acknowledged.
More than 15 million Americans played last year, according to a study by the Fantasy Sports Trade Association.
For the uninitiated, fantasy football involves about a dozen people who take turns selecting players who play on professional football teams. When those players score points for their real teams, the fantasy team scores points as well. Fantasy teams are pitted against each other every week, like real NFL teams.
The fantasy season ends with the team that drafted Peyton Manning winning, and the other 11 players complaining that if their tight end hadn't got hurt in week seven, their team would have won.
What's driving this trend? Young males. College students who grew up with free agency and players who switch teams almost yearly understand the principles behind successful fantasy football. Loyalty to a team is out, replaced by loyalty to whatever player is performing successfully that week.
The popularity of football is another factor. Fantasy baseball has existed for years, but is mainly the domain of die-hard fans and their statistical alphabet of WHIP, ERA and RISP. The casual fan just isn't ready to make a 162-game commitment.
A consulting group studied the issue and found that each week
Football, with its weekly games and mid-week trash talk, is paced just right for fantasy players.

Newcomer gets hurt in scrimmage
Big 12 Preseason Newcomer injured her knee during a scrimmage against alumni
BY DREW DAVISON
"It's really unfortunate she didn't get to go a little bit longer tonight and show you what she can do," coach Ray Bechard said. "We'll get everything MRIId and checked out to see where we go from there."
The Jayhawk volleyball team swept a team of Kansas alumni 3-0 Saturday night at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center, but suffered a loss when junior middle blocker Natalie Uhart injured her knee in the first game.
Uhart, named Big 12 preseason Newcomer of the Year, transferred
to Kansas from Long Beach State last year and was expected to replace Josla Lima at middle blocker. Uhart had not played much the last few seasons because of nagging injuries. Bechard said the injury Saturday night was not related to her previous injuries.
On the brighter side, Bechard
said middle blocker was the deepest position the team had.
"Let's hope that Natalie can return," he said. "If that doesn't work out, you got Savannah Noyes who was a full-time starter last year."

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Bowl game victory propels MU into new season
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Missouri overcame a 21-point deficit against South Carolina to win the Independence Bowl last December thanks to the arm and legs of quarterback Brad Smith.
Sophomore quarterback Chase Daniel made a short appearance as a freshman, completing one of four passes for six yards. However, it was what Daniel didn't do that was prophetic: He didn't have a single rushing attempt.
Missouri hopes to carry the momentum from its comeback victory in the Independence Bowl into this season and finally finish atop the Big 12 North.
"Our next step is to take that win and have it prop us into this year," said senior strong safety David Overstreet. "Time to take off to another level."
Missouri returns 17 starters and lost only seven from last season, but the Big 12 media didn't take the loss of Smith lightly, picking the Tigers to finish fifth in the North.
Daniel might not be Brad Smith, but according to some Missouri players, that isn't a bad thing.
Junior tight end Martin Rucker said Daniel doesn't hide the fact that he's a pocket passer and wants to show off his arm.
"In the past, if you run a route that wasn't the first or second read, you knew you weren't going to get the ball," Ucker said. "Now you've got to run a little more because at any time, he'll throw the ball to you and he'll put it on the money and you've got to catch it."
Junior tailbacks Marcus Woods and Tony Temple will battle for the starting spot in the backfield with Daniel.
Woods started all 10 games he appeared in last year and rushed for 435 yards and three touchdowns, but he's recovering from an Achilles strain. Temple has proven capable of taking over the tailback duties after rushing for 437 yards and three touchdowns last year.
A group of veteran receivers will be catching passes from the new signal caller in 2006. Senior wide receiver Brad Ekwerekwu, junior wide receiver Will Franklin and Rucker started a combined 35 games last season.

Mark Mangino's depth at running back took a serious hit this weekend after an injury he called "mutual"
Redshirt freshman running back Angus Quigley will miss the 2006 season after suffering an undisclosed injury. Mangino announced following Friday's open practice. The coach refused to discuss the specifics of the injury, as is typical team policy. "It's a very unusual injury."
Mangino said. "In fact, our medical team had to do extensive research to find out who's an expert on these types of injuries, because they're rare."
He said Quigley would be under the care of the lead orthopedic surgeon for the Miami Dolphins profootball team.
Quigley was expected to back up senior running back Jon Cornish. Instead, the backup duties will now fall to true freshman Jake Sharp, who
Mangino said he expects Sharp to be ready and able to serve as Cornish's back up, even as a freshman.
saw snaps, with both the first and second-team offense at practice on Friday. The injury to Quigley all but assures that Sharp will not redshirt this season, which had been a possibility in the past.
"If you were to say you wanted the model young man that was prepared as a true freshman to take on the
challenges of the Big 12, his prob-
 challenges of the guy, Mangino said.
Also expected to see time in the backfield is junior fullback Brandon McAnderson. He saw action in 12 games last season at running back and on special teams. McAnderson finished the season with 102 yards on 22 carries and one touchdown.

New station cuts response time nearly in half
STATION NO. 5
Vanessa Pearson/KANSAN
Station No. 5, 1911 Stewart Ave., serves the University of Kansas and the surrounding neighborhoods. The station, located near 19th and Iowa, provides faster response time to campus emergencies and has responded to calls at the residence halls and Jayhawk Towers since it opened in April.
BY MARK VIERTHALER
The new fire station at the edge of campus is cutting response time to on-campus emergencies.
Mark Bradford, chief of Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical, said the new station had cut response time by a minute to two minutes. The average before No. 5 was three to four minutes, Greg Murray, an engineer at Station No. 5, said. The station, at 1911 Stewart Ave., already has responded to fire and medical alerts at Jayhawker Towers and each of the residence halls since it opened in April.
The station is on land leased from the Kansas University Endowment Association for $1 per year.
Phil Hummer, Breckenridge, Colo., freshman, is a resident of Oliver Hall. Hummer said the decreased response time was a relief. He said that it made him feel safer.
Bradford said Station No. 5 had one fire engine. It also has one shift manager, four firefighters for the engine, three for the ladder and two paramedics for the ambulance.
The City of Lawrence has signed a 20-year contract to remain in the current facility.
Bradford said the city originally.
intended the station to be built at 21st and Iowa streets. Upon recommendation of the Endowment Association, the site moved to its current location.
"The current site is larger," Bradford said. "Both were centralized and adjacent to the University."
The new site wasn't built specifically for campus emergencies, Bradford said, but campus is still the main area the station will cover.
Funding for the new station came from the 1996 public safety plan, which also raised money to relocate Station Nos.4 and 2.
Bradford said the location was
appealing because it provided easy access to various areas of Lawrence.
Station No. 4, at 2819 Stone Barn Terr., south of campus, will be moving to Wakarusa Drive in November. Station No 4 currently overlaps districts with the new station.
After Station No. 4 moves, Station No.5 will expand to serve campus, east of campus and south of campus.

GTA contract dispute relies on third-party findings for resolution
BY DANNY LUPPINO
Slowly but surely, the negotiations between the University of Kansas and the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition continue to progress as the two sides look to end bitterly-fought contract disagreements.
Both sides received a list of five potential fact-finders from the Public Employee Relations Board, an agency within the Kansas Department of Human Resources, last week. The two sides must now narrow the list to one fact-finder, who will act as an independent agent and arrive at a recommendation that both sides hope will lead to the end of the conflict.
"We look forward to as speedy a resolution as possible through the fact-finding process," said Lynn Bretz, director of university communications.
Katy Martin, GTAC's lead negotiator, also looks forward to a recommendation from the fact-finder, which she was confident would be in GTAC's favor.
The negotiations reached an impasse this spring and failed to make any progress when a mediator was brought in for two meetings during the summer. Among the contentious issues are GTAC's requests for a new grievance procedure, a change to the 10-semester limit for GTAs and a new salary structure with a higher minimum wage and more merit-based raises.
"We're stuck at the same minimum salary until this gets resolved, so of course we'eager to get it done with," Martin said.

Judge rules on tobacco label laws
Tobacco companies now have more restrictions on how they label cigarette packages
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Tobacco companies can no longer label cigarettes "light" or "low tar" because such labels are deceptive, said Judge Gladys Kessler of the U.S. District Court in District of Columbia.
But that may not prevent current smokers, including Joe Forbes, Atchison freshman, from smoking.
"I smoke Mariboro Lights for taste," he said. "I know they are just as bad."
Kessler wrote in her ruling that tobacco companies used labels "low tar," "light," "ultra light" or "mild" to persuade people to not quit smoking. She also ordered the companies to begin an advertising campaign in newspapers and on television networks about the harmful effects of smoking.
The government suggested the judge make the companies pay $10 billion for smoking cessation programs, but in her ruling she said she didn't have the power to impose
"It was a moral victory," she said.
"The judge said yes, you're wrong,
but what we need is a financial penalty that can go toward righting the wrongs of tobacco companies."
Michelle Bernth, vice president of marketing and advocacy for the American Lung Association of the Central States, said she thought more money was needed. She said Kessler's "remedies" for the companies were not strong enough.
financial damages.
Berth said the organization was encouraging the Department of Justice to appeal the remedies portion of the verdict.
Bernh encouraged people to learn about smoking from science-based research, not from cigarette companies.
"Tobacco companies have been misleading the American public for years and years, so at this point to expect honest science-based information from tobacco companies is unreasonable," she said. "They will continue to be deceivers because

SEDALIA, Mo. — Stacey Robinson has a special tool for his art. A chainsaw.
From old men to coyotes, Robinson said he stamped at least a hint of himself into each work.
He estimated that during the 11-day fair, which ended Sunday, he and his son, Clint, 22, used about 220 feet of logs to create as many as 40 pieces. The carvings were sold at an auction Saturday. Proceeds benefit the Missouri State Fair Foundation.

"Almost everything we've requested has been rejected," Martin said.
Martin also objected to the way the University calculated merit-based raises, which are based on the previous year's salary and therefore would not be a percentage of the new minimum wage. She called this practice "illegal."
Bretz said the University awarded merit raises to all employee groups the same way. The raise would be based on the previous year's salary to reflect when a GTA earned the raise, she said.
"There's no way we're providing raises illegally," Bretz said.
Bretz said the University had offered an average merit-based raise of 11.3 percent for the group of more than 900 GTAs, which would total $1.3 million in raises this year.
"We're eager to get merit raises into the pockets of our GTAs," Bretz said.
Neither Bretz nor Martin was able to give an estimate as to how long the fact-finding process would last, but both sides were certain that the negotiations would not be settled before the recommendation was made.

The association blamed tobacco advertising for its role in encouraging young people to become addicted without understanding the long-term health risks involved.
Carol Seager, director of Watkins Memorial Health Center, said younger smokers tended to ignore long-term effects. She said tobacco companies needed to be more explicit in the cumulative effects because the statement on the side of a box that says smoking is harmful wasn't helpful.
Sara Swenson, Fort Scott senior, has smoked for four years. She's tried to quit several times but said she had failed because of stress even though she's worried about putting too much nicotine and tar in her body.

U.N. to send more troops to Lebanon
MIDDLE EAST
BY EDITH M. LEDERER ASSOCIATED PRESS
UNITED NATIONS — The United States called Monday for the deployment of an expanded U.N. force in southern Lebanon and said a new U.N. resolution might be needed later to focus on disarming Hezbollah militants and enforcing an arms embargo.
But he said the issue of disarming Hezbollah, key to establishing lasting
Italy offered to replace France as head of the force after Paris disappointed top U.N. and U.S. officials by making only a small pledge of 400 troops. By contrast, Italy has indicated it will be prepared to send 3,000 soldiers. If Rome follows through, other European countries might be more willing to commit troops, as the U.S. has been urging.
Noting the fragility of the Israeli-Hezbollah cease-fire, U.S. Ambassador John Bolton made clear that the top priority for the United States was to get an additional 3,500 soldiers on the ground by next Monday and then quickly increase the force to 15,000 troops, joining an equal number of Lebanese troops.
peace between Lebanon and Israel, would likely have to be addressed "in due course" in a new resolution.
UN
Hebbollah is already required to disarm under a September 2004 U.N. resolution, and council diplomats are certain to look carefully at exactly what a new resolution would do. If it authorizes the U.N. force to disarm the guerrillas, there would likely be strong opposition from those who believe that disarmament should be carried out only as a result of an agreement between Hebbollah and the Lebanese government.
But in any event, getting boots on the ground is key, said Bolton's spokesman Richard Grenell.
Nasser Nasser/ASSOCIATED PRESS
"It's premature to talk about the timing of a second resolution at this point," he said. "Our priority right now is to get a robust international force on the ground."
The European Union's Peace
while several Muslim nations have pledged troops to the new force, there have been no major pledges from European countries. The U.S. wants broad European participation to ensure that the U.N. contingent is balanced and broadly acceptable to both the Israelis and Lebanese.

and Security Committee added the issue of contributions to the force, known as UNIFIL, to its agenda on Wednesday. But one European diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks, cautioned against any major new announcements.
France, which leads the current 2,000-strong force, had been expected to make a significant new contribution and continue its command
But President Jacques Chirac, wary of getting involved without a clear U.N. mandate to use firepower if necessary, announced last week France would immediately add 200 combat engineers to its 200 troops already serving in UNIFIL, though he didn't rule out a future increase. France said it was willing to continue leading the force until February.
CRIME
Search for bodies yields bone fragments, hatchet
BY DAVID TWIDDY ASSOCIATED PRESS
DREXEL, Mo. — Investigators searching a rural Cass County property for human remains said Monday they had found about 50 pieces of evidence, including a hatchet and dozens of bone fragments.
Authorities said they had searched about 20 percent of the three-acre lot since Michael Lee Shaver Jr., 33, told investigators he had killed seven men and scattered their remains on the property in rural Cass County, 55 miles south of Kansas City.
Shaver was arraigned Monday on a single count of first-degree murder
and one count of armed criminal action. He was being held on $1 million bond.
Weber and Cass County prosecutor Teresa Hensley said that authorities had not increased the number of confirmed victims beyond the bone fragments of two people investigators found Friday.
Hensley said she was comfortable that she had enough evidence to convict Shaver of the single murder count. But, she added, "It would sure be nice to have a victim."
According to the affidavit filed with the charges, Shaver told authorities he met the man at an abandoned trailer in Kansas City, Kan., where
he bought methamphetamine from the victim. The affidavit says Shaver later invited the man to his home for another drug transaction.
Authorities say Shaver told them he would lure the victims to his home, shoot them and steal their cash and drugs. Authorities also said Shaver told them he dismembered the bodies and burned the body parts in a fireplace in his bedroom. After smashing the bones with a hammer, he scattered the ashes and bone fragments in his back yard, authorities said Shaver told them.
Investigators said they believe the deaths began occurring about five years ago, about the time Shaver
moved into the house.
The most recent remains are only months old, they said.
Sheriff's deputies arrested Shaver and another man, Nathan Wasmer, 27, of Peculiar, Mo., on Friday after a failed carjacking.
Officials said Shaver told deputies as he was being placed into a patrol car that he knew about human remains on the property where he lived with his mother and that he wanted to talk to someone about it.
Officials on Monday would not comment on whether other people could be charged in the killings.

Virginia Tech campus shut down
BY SUE LINDSEY ASSOCIATED PRESS
BLACKSBURG, Va. — A manhunt for an escaped convict suspected in the slayings of a hospital guard and a sheriff's deputy shut down the Virginia Tech campus on the first day of classes Monday as sharpshooters were posted on university rooftops and students scrambled for safety.
Authorities later captured William Morva, 24, after he was found hiding in a briar patch along a trail off-campus, Blacksburg Police Chief Kim Crannis, said. The spot was about 150 yards from where the sheriff's deputy was slain during the intense search Monday morning. A weapon also was recovered, but police would not elaborate.
SHERIFF
Matt Gentry/THE ROANOKE TIMES
Hundreds of police scoured the 2,600-acre campus as Virginia Tech Vice President Kurt Krause canceled classes for the school's 26,000 students and sent some 6,000 professors and other workers home.
Morva had escaped from a hospital — about two miles from campus — where he had been taken for
treatment of a sprained wrist and ankle early Sunday.
According to police, Morva overpowered another Montgomery County sheriff's deputy at the hospital, took the deputy's gun and then shot an unarmed hospital security guard. The guard was identified as Derrick McFarland, 26. The deputy was in stable condition with head injuries he suffered in the attack.
Morva had been jailed while awaiting trial on charges of attempting to rob a store last year and apparently shed his orange prison jumpsuit after escaping.
Police watch as students emerge from Squires Student Center at Virginia Tech after police began searching there for shooting suspect William Morva, Monday in Blacksburg, Va. Virginia Tech shut down its campus Monday as authorities searched for Morva, 24, an escaped inmate suspected of killing a hospital guard and a sheriff's deputy. Morva had been seen near the campus, authorities said.
He then is suspected of gunning down sheriff's Cpl. Eric E. Sutphin as the decorated police veteran got closer to the fugitive on the trail about 7 a.m. Monday.
Todd Cohen, associate director of KU University Relations said that emergency protocols are in place should any similar incident occur on the University of Kansas campus.
"There are procedures as with fire, tornado and other states of emergency," Cohen said. "It is very unlikely what happened in Virginia will
happen here."
The University maintains a strict policy banning weapons on campus. Cohen cited an instance when a professor brought a musket on campus to show his class. The Public Safety Office immediately responded to deal with the situation, he said.
Morva was charged with capital murder, use of a firearm in a felony, escape and felony assault on a police officer. He had not been charged with Monday's shooting.

New Accutane study finds more risks
BY CARLA K. JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Accutane, the powerful acne drug already known to cause birth defects, seems to raise the risk for potential heart and liver problems more than doctors had expected, according to a new study.
The findings came from lab tests on 13,772 patients taking the popular acne drug and underscore the need to closely monitor people taking isotretinoin, which is sold as Accutane and in three generic versions. Abnormal results for cholesterol and liver function were more common than expected.
Abnormal lab tests don't necessarily mean patients will develop problems, said Lee Zane of the University of California, San Francisco, coauthor of the study.
Additional studies are needed to determine any long-term health effects, he said, but in the current study, most patients' abnormal lab tests returned to normal when they quit taking the drug. Patients usually take it for less than a year. It's considered one of the most effective treatments for the severest acne.
Isotretinoin can cause brain and heart defects in infants if a woman takes it during or immediately before pregnancy. Women who take it must
nave pregnancy, tests and use birth control or abstain from sex.
Most dermatologists already knew the drug also could increase the risk of heart disease. But the new study found higher-than-expected percentages of patients developing abnormal lab results.
Among patients with normal lab tests before they started taking the drug, 44 percent developed high levels of triglycerides. The package insert, by contrast, cites high triglycerides in 25 percent of patients. Thirty-one percent of healthy patients in the study developed high cholesterol levels and 11 percent developed abnormal liver tests.
The study won't change medical practice because dermatologists already carefully test patients taking Accutane, John Strauss, professor emeritus at the University of Iowa College of Medicine, said. Strauss is a former consultant for Roche Laboratories Inc., the maker of Accutane.
Roche representatives did not reply to an e-mail seeking comment on the study.

The drug is sometimes the only way to treat severely disfiguring acne, Strauss said.

terms of teaching, research or service. She said this was the case with Olafsen's review and the University committed no wrongdoing.
Oleisen, however, cited several administrative errors during the review process. He said he believed his review was influenced by the political leanings of other department members, including department chairman Stephen Sanders. Olafsen said Sanders had made disparaging remarks about Republicans during a meeting between the two professors.
When reached, Sanders, through his secretary, declined to comment on the matter, referring all questions to the University general counsel.
"The remarks not only call into question his objectivity, or lack thereof," Olafsen said, "but also create a context where the department's 20-some-odd errors are less likely the result of incompetency and more likely the willful disregard of the rules to achieve a certain objective."
Olafsen said he didn't expect to benefit much from the suit, but he said he wanted it to help those seeking tenure in the future.

Find someone else to foot the bills
Students will once again be nickel-and-dimed by the University this year. Intramural athletes will be greeted with a team fee for leagues which were free just a semester ago.
While the fees are minimal, it's just another unnecessary expense that comes out of students' pockets.
This year, officiated team sports such as flag football or basketball will cost $20 per team. Unofficiated sports such as ultimate Frisbee or sand volleyball will run $10 per team. Officiated tournaments are now $10 and unofficiated $5. A fee will also be assessed for fitness programs.
The KU Recreations Services determined this summer to reintitute fees for the first time since the fall of 2001. The fees,
they say, will allow recreation services to continue providing intramural sports and to offset costs of running the Student Recreation Fitness Center.
A $62 student recreation and fitness center fee is included in every student's tuition. Multiply the fee by the number of students and recreation services has more than $1.5 million to work with right off the bat.
The students have done their part when it comes to providing money for the Student Recreation Fitness Center. It was the students who accepted fees to help build the $17 million center that opened in September 2003.
Students also agreed to swap tickets to help fund additions to the new facility. Students agreed to give the athletic department
1,200 seats for men's basketball games, but got only 226 closer seats. The athletics department also provides $1 million each year for a $6 million addition to the three-year-old rec center.
Certainly the price for intramural sports is reasonable, but tacking on more fees to students shouldn't always be the solution.
Why not look for other solutions, instead of always charging the students? Reevaluate the hours of the facility or look at the staff to see if all are really needed to find ways to avoid passing the buck to the students.
The students have already paid enough.

COMMENTARY
Wise up, Suzy Bare Minimum
We've all seen them in class. The students who create a puddle of drool on their desks as they sleep, surf the Internet on their laptops or fill out the crossword in this fine publication. They are Johnny and Suzy Bare Minimum, content to take their Cs and stumble into the next semester, year after year, while demonstrating that they feel the academic portion of college is just a tedious stepping-stone on the path to future financial security.
Ultimately, these students are happy to receive a four-year degree alongside all the students who tried to make the most out of their college educations. In a different time, Johnny and Suzy's Cs would have been Fs, and they would have been going home for Christmas, never to come back.
PETER RABBIN
These days, schools aren't weeding out the students who prefer having their tickets punched instead of learning anything. How are these students able to pass? I think you have to look at the very real and disheartening issue of grade inflation. All students in pursuit of a four-year degree are experiencing the adverse affects that come with the passing of students who never do more than they must.
A report done by the Carnegie Foundation found that grade inflation has become increasingly prevalent in our nation's schools, and this includes some of the most academically prestigious. The report
BY JEREMY WINFREY
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
notes that in 1950 only 15 percent of Harvard and Yale's student bodies obtained a grade of a B+ or higher. Today that number has risen to over 70 percent.
If such inflation is taking place in Ivy League schools, I can only imagine what is going on at the thousands of public institutions around the U.S. Such inflation breeds apathetic attitudes toward education in some students. We are seeing the effects of this apathy in the staggering number of instances of plagiarism in our nation's schools; some students do not even feel the need to do their own work. Grade inflation cheapens the successes of those students who always put forth their best effort, and it ends up watering down the four-year degree.
Students who are happy to scrape by academically, thinking they are going to land a $70,000-a-year job just because they graduated, should wise up. While statistics show a trend of increased salaries, every student should take into consideration that those statistics are drawn from the past thirty to forty years.
Today we are living with the ills of a weak economy, exacerbated by rampant corporate irresponsibility. Such factors have shown that even the white-collar, educated workers of America are not beyond the reach of the tentacles of bad fortune. With the job market already inundated with applicants who hold four-year degrees, the addition of students who took an uninspired approach to earning theirs trims up an already slim chance of landing a solid career.
Many employers are looking for applicants who have refined their skills in graduate school. This is unfortunate because many hard working students and their families may have already taken on a heavy load of debt acquiring a four-year degree. The thought of going on to graduate school can seem like an exhausting prospect to many.
So hey, Johnny and Suzy Bare Minimum, why don't you try a little more effort when it comes to your studies this semester; you might be doing us all a favor. But you will be doing yourselves the biggest favor by respecting the education you are receiving, and the personal growth that comes from challenging yourselves to succeed. That, my friends, you will find is more valuable than any future increase in salary that college may bring.

COMMENTARY
Don't just look out for number one
Many people view college as a time to experiment and find out who they are as individuals. Some get a new hairstyle or piercing, while others join a sorority or fraternity What all of these people in common is that they are attempting to find somewhere to belong. In other words, they want to join a community.
A community can be defined as an institution, such as the University, an organization or just a group of friends. For me, community is the web of people with whom you have your closest relationships. They are the ones with whom you choose to share your life.
On the other hand, the media tells us that in order to be attractive we must have the most fashionable and expensive clothes. Look anywhere and you will find definitions of what it means to be the alpha male or female — just wear brand x.
As college students we receive many diverse messages about who we are supposed to be. Those from the academic world are constantly telling us to study hard so we can be the best student in the class. Our work is constantly being critiqued, as if it were somehow linked to our self-worth. Getting a B on a test is not good enough.
We live in a culture where we are taught from a very young age to look out for number one. We are told that money is more important than relationships, and that if you work hard enough you can reach the American Dream of wealth, status and power.
Once members of a community come to trust each other they feel free to be to who they are. Each member grows by watching and listening to the experiences of others. They begin to relate and make sense of each other's experiences within the wider world.
A community such as this is a place where you can be accepted, yet be challenged to grow and be a better person. Come as you are.
kunt is a Lawrence sophomore in journalism and creative writing.
Being in a community is about give and take. Each person out there has dreams and aspirations, as well as a longing to be accepted for who they are. In a strong community people can come as they are. Its members listen to each other instead of judging. By looking to understand and take care of others, you allow bonds of trust to form.

Then we get messages from what we could叫 the "alternative" "social spectrum." In order to fit in here you must listen to outrageously obscure music, be a vegan and shop at fashionable secondhand stores, because you always knew you were way ahead of those other kids.
These ideas breed such a spirit of competitiveness that people forget or refuse to think about anyone but themselves. Throughout this process people become so concerned about their own individualism and one-upping each other that they

LINEUP (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
With the starters out of practice, Mangino has pieced together line-ups with younger players, including freshman Olaitan Oguntodu and redshirt-freshman Justin Thornton seeing significant repetitions in practice.
“Any time you have people that you're counting on lining up that are not out there getting repetitions, it's a little bit concerning,” Mangino said. “But I think we've got some really talented kids out there, so it's just a matter of them learning.”
Sophomore Aqib Talib, who's also seen time at punt returner in practice, has looked the best among
returning cornerbacks. At Friday's practice, Talib intercepted one pass by redshirt-freshman quarterback Kerry Meier and nearly picked off another.

Behind him, Hicks is looking to return to 2004 form, when he rushed for 1.062 yards and five touchdowns. Hicks battled a groin injury last season, missing three games and rushing for 545 yards and four touchdowns.
At the receiver and tight end positions, Meyer will have no shortage of options as his top six receivers from 2005 are back this year. Most notably is preseason first-team All-Big 12 selection junior wide receiver Todd Blythe, who racked up 1,000 receiving yards along with nine touchdowns.
Other receivers that should crack the starting lineup are seniors Austin Flynn and Jon Davis, who combined for more than 900 yards and five touchdowns. Junior Ben Barkema and senior Walter Nickel should split action at the tight end position.
On the line, tackles Scott Fisher and Aaron Brant, guards Seth Zehr and Paul Fisher and center Stephenson construct an all-senior barrier for opposing defenses.
Compared to the offense, the defense returns a fraction of the experience, featuring seven fresh starters. However, senior cornerback DeAndre Jackson said that this is the best defensive unit he's ever been on at Iowa State.
Jackson said those who thought
"If people say they have to carry us, we take that and we're going to build on it," Jackson said. "We use that as motivation because we want to carry the team."
the offense would have to win games for the Cyclones are in for a surprise.
Preseason first-team All-Big 12 selection senior Brent Curvey will anchor the defensive line at the defensive tackle spot. Joining him will be senior defensive end Shawn Moorehead, junior end Kurtis Taylor and junior nose guard Bryce Braaksma.
Sophomore Adam Carper is Iowa State's lone returning starter at linebacker after recording 41 tackles in 2005. Junior Alvin Bowen and sophomore Tyrone McKenzie should fill the remaining linebacker spots.
The secondary features Iowa State's final first-team Big-12 player, Jackson, who was selected as a cornerback and a kick returner. Despite the youth of the rest of the defense, Jackson said he doesn't plan to cut back on his returning duties to focus on defense.
Sophomore Chris Singleton should take the other cornerback spot and freshman James Smith and junior Jon Banks should occupy the two safety positions. Only Singleton and Banks recorded any tackles in 2005, combining for 15.
With an offense as potentially potent at Iowa State's and a defense that believes in itself, the Big 12 North title is certainly within reach

At the same time, their big 12 title hopes could vanish if they don't survive their early conference schedule. Some players might prefer such a hard stretch of games be spread out over the season, but not the Cyclones' leader on offense: Bret Meyer.
"We might as well have them all together," Meyer said. "I'm not going to say I'd like to have an easier schedule because that's not being a competitor. If that's the way you feel, then don't come play."

Huggins fills coaching staff with former player
MANHATTAN — Kansas State men's basketball coach Bob Huggins completed his staff on Monday, hiring former player Erik Martin to be an assistant coach. Martin, 35, was part of Huggins' team at Cincinnati in the 1990s.
"He is familiar with the style of play that I want to run at K-State," Huggins said in a written statement.
The Wildcats will open their 2006-07 season on Nov. 11.

FATE (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
Most programs at the University have been on the way up with the football team, which probably isn't a coincidence. Football makes money that helps the entire department.
Don't be too worried, though, because the NCAA has recently been reluctant to hand out bowl bans, a fact that bodes well for Kansas. So far this decade only Alabama has received one, and that was a situation involving players being paid. In the 1990s, Mississippi, Auburn and
Washington were the only three. Each received a two-year ban. Compare that to the 1970s and 1980s when the NCAA handed out a total of 24 bans and you'll notice how inconsistent the NCAA has been.
The truth is, the NCAA works in mysterious ways and all this is purely speculation. So even though a bowl ban isn't a good possibility, brace for it and you won't be surprised, because the NCAA can be very unpredictable.

Fate of Kansas football in the hands of NCAA

Anything short of a bowl ban and the football team should survive the ordeal. Most likely, the team will only lose scholarships and recruiting visits. But what if a bowl ban is implemented? What about a two-year ban? As bad and unlikely as it seems, it is a possibility KU fans should worry about

Without a post-season, more recruiting battles would be lost. Not many talented recruits would come to a non-football school in a BCS conference without the possibility of going to a bowl game. And what if Mangino loses his job? No good coach would want to step into that kind of situation.

Cyclones not worried by tough early scheduling
BY SHAWN SHROYER
As daunting as Iowa State's offense can be for opposing defenses, its schedule is every bit as menacing.
Iowa State opens its Big 12 Conference schedule on the road at defending National Champion Texas. Then, after a nonconference game against Northern Iowa, the Cyclones face Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas Tech in consecutive weeks.
.
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
In total, nine of Iowa State's 12 opponents in 2006 reached postseason play in 2005.
"There's a lot of really big challenges, but it's a season of opportunity and that's the way we're looking at it and we're not going to duck and hide and we're going to hold our heads high and try and prepare for a great season ahead," coach Dan McCarney said.
If any team in the Big 12 North can handle that schedule, it's Iowa State. The Cyclones will return 11 offensive starters from last season's 7-5 team.
The Cyclone offense features two preseason first team AiBig 12 players, brings back five seniors on the offensive line and returns running back Stevie Hicks, the 1,000-yard rusher from 2004 who was injured last year.
So, it's no surprise that Big 12 media selected Iowa State to finish second in the Big 12 North, but
Cyclone players know best of all what this year's offense is capable of
"It can be phenomenal," senior offensive lineman Scott Stephenson said. "We should do some big things this season."
With a defense that returns only four starters, it may be up to the offense to keep the Cyclones afloat in the conference standings.
As quarterback, junior Bret Meyer is looking to live up to the preseason hype surrounding him after being named first team All-Big 12 by conference media.
Meyer started all 12 games for the Cyclones in 2005, completing
61. 7 percent of his passes for 2,876 yards and 19 touchdowns.Meyer also had a four-game stretch without throwing an interception.
Meyer's statistics have grabbed the media's attention, but his leadership has earned the respect of his teammates.
"He's got the ability to get everyone one going around him and he's got the ability to light a fire underneath people's asses," Stephenson said. "He can see the field, he can throw the ball well, he can run. He's all around the best quarterback in the Big 12, in my opinion."

FOOTBALL
Starting lineup not yet settled
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Linebackers:
With only a week and a half before the Jayhawks' season opener, coach Mark Mangino remains undecided about who will play at several key positions. Here is a look at some of the starting spots still up for grabs:
Entering preseason training camp, sophomores Mike Rivera and Joe Mortensen and senior Eric Washington were expected to be the three start linebackers. That lineup isn't such a guarantee anymore. Mangino has been impressed enough with redshift freshman Jake Schermer's performance at camp that he has earned significant time practicing with the first-team defense.
U
"Fiery and toughness is everything in football," Mangino said. "I don't care how talented you are, if you don't bring that element to the field, you don't have a chance. He has that."
Despite his lack of experience, Schermer believes he's ready to make the jump from the scout team to the starting lineup.
Sophomore James Holt, who was also expected to contend for one of the starting spots, suffered an undisclosed injury and will not be available for at least the season opener on Sept. 2 against Northwestern State.
"Whatever I have to do, if I have to go as hard as I can every play, then that's what I have to do to keep my spot and keep me motivated every time," Schermer said.
Wide Receivers:
Mangino used several different combinations of receivers in scriffages with the first-team offense.
Among those working with the offense are seniors Brian Murph and Dominic Roux, junior Marcus Henry and sophomores Marcus Herford and Dexton Fields. Murph and Henry are Kansas' top two returning receivers; each averaged more than 10 vards per catch last season.
Sharp's relatively small size, at 5-foot-10, 190 pounds, makes it easier for him to slip through holes created by the offensive line. His speed and athleticism is in contrast to the power running game of the 6-foot, 235-pound McAnderson.
"I think those kids are coming together and there's a lot of able-bodied kids there." Mangino said.
Herford, a converted quarterback, saw action last season at both wide receiver and quarterback.
With the undisclosed injury that ended redshirt freshman Angus Quigley's season last week, it's likely Mangino will employ a backup-bcommittee strategy. Freshman Jake Sharp is expected to split carries with junior fullback Brandon McAnderson. While senior Jon Cornish is a solid starter, expect both Sharp and McAnderson to see significant playing time.
Sharp displayed the speed and athleticism that earned him the backup spot in Friday's open practice. On several plays with the backup offense, Sharp was able to squirt through the defensive line and break downfield for long yardage.
Running Backs:
(2)
Secondary:
Injuries have also ravaged Kansas' depth in the secondary. Projected starters senior Jerome Kemp and redshirt freshman Darrell Stuckey both missed Friday's practice with undisclosed injuries. Mangino said Kemp might be healthy enough to play against Northwestern State, but Stuckey would not.

Recycling capacity increases
BY MARK VIERTHALER
New recycling stations on campus to help Lawrence maintain its environmental friendliness
Across campus, more and more buildings are being adorned with the familiar blue buckets, emblazoned with the recycling triangle as KU Recycling increases its services.
layhawker Towers will also increase its capacity, Severin said.
Jeff Severin, Environmental Stewardship Program manager, said plans have already begun for three newspaper and plastic outdoor stations along Jayhawk Boulevard. The new stations will be placed outside Fraser, Bailey and Snow Halls.
The original plan was to have the bins installed during the summer.
However, because of an overwhelming amount of recyclables, Severin said the towers would receive the new bins within the next two weeks.
The recycling division at the University has monthly drop-offs for students who live off campus.
According to the recycling report released by Lawrence Waste Reduction and Recycling, the city handled more than 69,777 tons of solid waste in 2005. Of that, private companies recycled 12,647. The
University accounts for 521 tons, ahead of the 12th and Haskell Bargain Center and Lonnie's Recycling.
The city and private companies recycled 33 percent of all solid waste in Lawrence.
According to the report, this puts Lawrence ahead of the state average of 23 percent and the national average of 30 percent.
Keaton Krell, KU Recycling crew leader, said the increase in opportunities to recycle is one reason Lawrence and the University surpassed the national average.
"It seems like there are literally
thousands of new locations popping up every week," Krell said. "We've been adding spots every chance we get. We're trying to recycle everything possible."
With the city and five independent recyclers throughout Lawrence, Mangerich said Lawrence has more opportunities to recycle than an average city.

First year law student Ali Bannwarth is on the calendar this year. She has a bachelor's degree in both political science and journalism.
"This calendar says something special about the community we have here at KU."
Bannwarth put aside her childhood dream of being a tornado chaser to pursue media law.
The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center organizes the calendar. Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director at the Women's Resource Center, said the calendar is a way for the campus and wider community to understand
"You just have to have the drive and ambition to succeed," Bannworth said.
Now that law school has started she said she spends most of her time working, and that for fun she likes to sleep.
Among her accomplishments, Bannwarth won the Campanile Award, the Phi Kappa Phi National Award of Excellence and was elected Watkins Scholarship Hall president.

She said it's meant to focus on women's accomplishments and serve as an example for young girls of what women can do.

One area she mentioned there aren't many women is in leadership roles in higher education. Out of about 60 distinguished professors recognized at the university, only eight of them are female.

Student gospel singers serve food at homeless shelter
BY DARLA SLIPKE
The Lawrence Community Drop-In Center bustled with activity Tuesday night when students from the Black Student Union and
the Inspirational Gospel Voices met to sing and serve food to homeless people of the community.
One woman stood alone, leaning against the side of the shelter building, her eyes glossy as she listened to the soulful voices of the gospel group. She asked to be identified only by her first name, Michelle.
"I admire the people who took the time off from work and school
to come do this because it means a lot to me that they did this," she said. "I think it's very uplifting and it comes from someone's heart."
At the front of the crowd, another guest of the shelter who asked not to be identified by name, claps her hands and moves to the beat of the music, pausing only to fan herself with her red cap.
"That was good, just one more," she called out when the song
ended. After the next song, she held up her index finger to indicate again, one more song.
"It's such a lift to hear, especially on a summer's night," she said.
Inside the shelter, guests enjoyed enchiladas that the groups cooked for dinner. Each guest was given a hand-decorated bag of toiletries by the students serving the meal.

Med Center to ban smoking on campus property, starting Sept. 1
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Starting Sept. 1, the Med Center will be smoke-free. The smoking ban will outlaw the use of tobacco products in any area considered to be campus property.
Students, faculty and employees at the University of Kansas Medical Center who count on smoke breaks to get through the day will soon have to go somewhere else.
David Adkins, vice chancellor for external affairs at the Med Center, said the ban was part of a unified action Kansas hospitals are taking to be smoke-free by Jan. 1, 2007.
"I think people have been very understanding of the reasons for the ban," he said.
The University is offering employees and members of their households access to a number of programs to help them quit smoking. More than 100 people are signed up for educational classes on how to quit smoking, he said.
The Med Center's tobacco-free initiative, available online at www.kumc.edu/tobacco/, details medical reasons for the ban: "Studies, many conducted by our KU colleagues, have proven time and again that tobacco is a leading cause of death from many diseases."
About 10 million people have died from smoking-related diseases in the U.S. since 1964, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This includes deaths
from heart disease, lung cancer, emphysema and other respiratory diseases.
Adkins said about 3,800 Kansans die from tobacco-related diseases each year.
The ban comes months after the Surgeon General issued a report that warned of the problems caused by secondhand smoke. It also found that secondhand smoke had no risk-free level of exposure.
Chrissy Whetter, Overland Park junior nursing student at the Med Center, said she thought the ban was a good idea. She said if the Med Center was going to advise patients not to smoke, they should practice what they preach.
"Most people I think don't really
have a problem with it, but there are plenty of people who smoke there," Whetter said.
Bill Smith, Wellness Resource Center health educator, said the original proposal didn't call for a campus-wide ban, but it included changes to things like smoking distances near entry ways.
Staff at the Wellness Resource Center and a group of students will soon review a proposal to change the smoking regulations at the Lawrence campus. The proposal was submitted last spring, but staff changes at the center put the proposal on hold until late August.
Clark College, a community college in Vancouver, Wash., is one of the few non-medical college campuses to go entirely smoke-free
Deal said the Clark College hadn't had any major problems with the ban. She said she would like other colleges and Universities to follow.
Mary Deal, health services officer at Clark College, said students mainly pushed for the ban, especially several with asthma and emphysema who were sick of pushing their way through smoky doorways to get to class.
"I think colleges will lead the way, and I think they should," Deal said.

Kerr changed majors and tried journalism, working on different publications in Houston, Dallas and California and ending at a foreign correspondent position in Kashmir, India. That was when Kerr decided journalism wasn't for him.
"I had a little guilt that I wasn't doing things that engineers were, like making goods that people needed," Kerr said.
If you ask Daniel Kerr how he got to the University of Kansas, he would have to tell you his family history dating back to his grandfather. Luckily, if you take one of his classes, you can hear all about it — with illustrations.

Lichtenberg, associate dean for graduate study and research in the School of Education and professor of psychology and research in education, was honored for his continuing work in and service to the field of counseling psychology.
"I was very excited, very pleased, very honored," Lictenberg said of learning he would receive an award voted on by his colleagues. "It was humbling."
Lichtenberg, a professor at the University for the past 31 years, said receiving an award of this magnitude was "daunting" considering he hadn't turned 60 yet. He added that there's still to come.

Station embarrassed by accidental porn
STOCKHOLM, Sweden—Sweden's state broadcaster SVT mistakenly showed a porn movie in the background of a news broadcast.
Viewers of a 5-minute news update at midnight Saturday could see explicit scenes from a Czech porn movie on a TV screen behind a news anchor.
Staffers had used the screen to watch a sports event on a cable channel that often shows X-rated films after midnight and had forgotten to switch it back, said news director Per Yng.
Yng said a producer spotted the sex scenes, ran into the control room and turned off the monitor.

Morrison discusses platform
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Paul Morrison, Johnson County district attorney and recently converted democrat, said switching from the Republican Party won't affect his campaign for attorney general this fall because it didn't change any of his beliefs.
If people respect you as a person, people don't care about partisan politics" he said Tuesday night to about 25 students at the Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. "They care if you do a good job."
In an event sponsored by the KU Young Democrats, Morrison explained how he would do a better job than Republican incumbent Attorney General Phill Kline. He said he was never interested in running for office until Kline was voted in.
Morrison, who has tried several high-profile cases, said he was
stunned that Kline, who has never tried a case, could get the job.
The race between the two is drawing attention statewide in preparation of the Nov. 7 election. Morrison said there was an incredible contrast between the two.
"I will give the incumbent one hell of a run for the money and I think we will win," he said.
Morrison's philosophy during his 26 years in law enforcement has been punish the guilty and the right will win.
His philosophy has carried over to his campaign.
Morrison said his three-pronged mission was about safety, priorities and judgment.
He said he was in the best position to keep Kansans safe because he has put hundreds of criminals in prison.
As for priorities, he thinks Kline has them all wrong. Kline subpoenaed the medical records of patients who had abortions and Morrison said it was an invasion of privacy that he would make a number one priority.
"Kansas has become the butt of jokes nationally," he said. "People like Phill Kline have contributed to that. I say this election, lets get the last laugh."
Alex Treaster, Shawnee junior, said he liked Morrison because he was down to earth and came across as a straight lawman. Kline doesn't, he said.
"I have a lot more respect for someone who can enforce the law," Treaster said.

Professor to save Mayan languages A KU linguistics professor has begun a study of three dying Mayan languages in order to preserve them before they are lost forever
BY KIM LYNCH
There are about 30 different Mayan languages, but some are beginning to die out as Spanish becomes the dominant language. One University of Kansas associate professor, however, now has the chance to help change this trend.
Clifton Pye, an associate professor of linguistic, received a $315,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to document three dying Mayan languages. Pye traveled to Guatemala and Mexico this summer to begin his study.
The three languages Pye is documenting are Chol, Q'anjob'al and Mam.
Sara Rosen, linguistics chairwoman, said the department was excited about the grant.
Rosen said the documentation process included collecting data, getting video tapes of the language being spoken and then transcribing those tapes to be studied.
Pye said the purpose of the grant was to document the language as it exists now for later use in the future. He said his interest in the Mayan language grew out of his dissertation about how children acquired the language.
Pye said he planned to return to Guatemala again over fall break.
Brent Metz, assistant professor of anthropology, who is currently studying indigenous movements
in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, said that the reason Mayan languages are dying out in Guatemala is because the new media, government and courts are all in Spanish.
As Mayans have become more integrated into the Guatemalan community they have found out that Spanish is more valuable to them than their native language, Metz said. However, a counter movement has begun in Guatemala to re-teach Mayan languages.

>> UPDATE
Ramsey defendant to go to trial
BY LINDA DEUTSCH
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — John Mark Karr, wearing an orange jail jump-suit and handcuffs chained around his waist, waived extradition to Colorado on Tuesday to face murder charges in the slaying of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey.
Karr spoke only briefly during a two-minute court hearing to confirm his decision. His blank expression changed only once when he slowly closed his eyes as the judge recited the charge of first-degree murder.
Although his public defender and a former defense attorney described Karr as eager to go, it was unclear when the 41-year-old teacher would be transferred. The
Boulder County sheriff's deputies would not discuss travel plans and Los Angeles jail officials said they had not yet been contacted about a transfer.
Deputy Public Defender Haydeh Takasugi, who represented Karr in the hearing, said he was concerned about having to appear in court wearing jail attire rather than civilian clothes.
"It's going to taint any potential jury pool out there," Takasugi said. "He was upset at that."
Karr's face has flooded newscasts since he was named a suspect in Bangkok last week in the longunsolved slaying of the 6-year-old beauty pageant queen, who was found strangled in the basement of her Boulder home on Dec. 26, 1996.
Prosecutors have not disclosed
their evidence against Karr, and his family has said he was at home in Georgia at the time of the slaying.
Karr told reporters in Thailand before he voluntarily flew to Los Angeles on Sunday that he was not innocent in JonBenet's slaying, explaining only that he was present when she died and that her death was an accident.
In addition to first-degree murder, the charges against Karr in a sealed probable-cause arrest warrant include felony murder, first-degree kidnapping, second-degree kidnapping and sexual assault on a child.
The felony murder charge means prosecutors are either accusing Karr of killing JonBenet during the course of a sexual assault or kidnapping, or that he was present while someone else killed the girl.

Local residents look at the crash site of Russian Tupolev Tu-154 plane near the Ukrainian city of Donetsk, about 400 miles (640 kilometers) east of Kiev yesterday. A Russian passenger jet crashed in eastern Ukraine just minutes after sending a distress signal during a severe thunderstorm on Tuesday, killing all 170 people on board, officials said. Dozens of children were among the victims.
Plane crash kills all passengers
BY SERGEI VENYAVSKY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SUKHA BALKA, Ukraine — A Russian passenger jet crashed during a thunderstorm just minutes after sending a distress signal on Tuesday, killing all 170 people on board, including dozens of children.
Emergency officials said preliminary information led them to believe that weather — not terrorism — caused the Pulkovo Airlines' Tu-154 to plummet to the ground in what was the third passenger plane crash involving Russia's aviation industry this year.
"Nobody survived," Mykhaylo Korsakov, spokesman for the Donetsk department of the Emergency Situations Ministry, told The Associated Press.
Ukrainian officials said a storm with high winds, driving rain and lightning was raging through the
region at the time. Russia's Emergency Situations Ministry spokeswoman Irina Andrianova, citing information from her Ukrainian counterparts, said the plane was likely hit by lightning.
Korsakov said the pilot asked to make an emergency landing before disappearing from the radar screens at around 2:30 p.m.
The Tu-154 was en route from the Russian Black Sea resort of Anapa to St. Petersburg when it ran into trouble. Two minutes after the crew sent a distress signal, it dropped off the radar, said Russian emergency official Yulia Stadnikova.
Residents of Sukha Balka, a village north of Donetsk and some 400 miles east of Kiev, found part of the plane's tail section and still-burning pieces of debris in a swampy field. Television footage showed scorched, smoldering land covered in small pieces of wreckage. Thick white
smoke hung over the debris.
Of the 170 people on board, 45 were children, Pulkovo Airlines deputy director Anatoly Samoshin told reporters at the St. Petersburg airport. The list of passengers, most of whom were from St. Petersburg, appeared to include many families.
Investigators were searching for the flight data recorders commonly called black boxes.
Samoshin said the pilot decided to climb about 3,300 feet to try to get above the storm. But as the plane ascended from 29,500 to 36,000 feet, the pilot sent the first distress signal. Later, the pilot sent two more distress signals, the last from 9,800 feet, he said.
"The only known fact is that the weather was bad, there was a strong thunderstorm and poor visibility," Ukrainian emergency official Leonid Kastorsky told Russias NTV at the site of the crash.

CROSSING (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"We're here to give back to the community," said Chris Reis, Kansas City, Mo., junior and president of the Black Student Union. "I think the best way is to start with people who don't have anything."
He said the group was trying to get more involved outside of campus. He and friend Ashley Coleman have volunteered overnight at the shelter before.
Coleman, Shawnee junior, said they woke up in the morning and sang with the people at the shelter. They wanted to raise awareness and combat stereotypes about homelessness.
The Black Student Union had been spreading the word about the shelter for several months, and spent the past week gathering donations and putting together supplies for people of the shelter.
They collected from family and friends as well as their own closets.
A member of the group introduced herself to the woman wearing the red cap. She warned the woman that she better go get some enchiladas before they ran out. The woman smiled and agreed, but didn't budge from her spot at the front of the crowd gathered by the gospel group.
"It sounds so good," she said.
Their next volunteer project will be to help out with Habitat for Humanity, "We just want to do more and be a group not just for fun, but for community service" Reine said.

Tran and Rissky were both recognized on the calendar. The calendar focused on women's academic achievements as well as community and campus involvement.
WOMEN (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Michelle Rissky, senior biology major and pre-med student who's on this year's calendar, said it validates what she stands for.
"I think the calendar exists because it's one of the few forms of trans-media around that recognizes women for more than just being a pretty face," Risky said.
Calendar nominations areadvertised by the Women's Resource Center. People are encouraged to
nominate women for the calendar and a committee of students, staff, and faculty decide who will be on it. Rose-Mockry said about 75 percent of the women on the calendar are students.
There will be 5,000 copies of the calendar printed. They are available free at the Burge Union, Jayhawk Bookstore, Kansas Union and other places around campus.

Two people killed during charity ride for slain police
NATIONAL
COVINGTON, Ind. — A van accompanying bicyclists riding to raise money for slain police officers was struck by a truck and spun into the group, killing a state trooper and a retired sheriff's official, authorities said. Another cyclist was injured.
BY KEN KUSMER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Killed were state police Lt. Gary Dudley and Gary Martin, who had retired in April as chief of the Lake County Sheriff's Department. The
The van, which was marked with a large banner that read "Caution Cyclists Ahead," had been traveling with the group of 10 current and retired police officers and another man on Indiana 63 near the Illinois state line when it was hit by the truck, police said.
Southbound lanes of Indiana 63 about 50 miles north of Terre Haute were closed Tuesday afternoon. A crumbled red bicycle was in the roadway, along with water bottles, a helmet, shoes and other bikes.
The drivers of the two vehicles also were injured, Watts said.
About 30 bicyclists from several police agencies planned to ride portions of 1,100 miles over 13 days, while eight were planning to trek the entire route.
The ride was to end Aug. 28 in Indianapolis.
injured cyclist was airlifted to an Illinois hospital, state police Sgt. Joe Watts said.
Martin, 63, was an avid cyclist who had retired from the Gary Police Department and was named in 2002 to the No. 2 position in the
Lake County Sheriff's Department, the department said.
Karen Shelton, director of operations for the Indiana Troopers Association, said the group hosted the riders last week.
"They were all very upbeat when they were here Friday night," she said. "They do this on their own time which I think is admirable."
Watts said the riders were determined to finish.
Money raised supports Indiana Concerns of Police Survivors, which provides support for families of officers killed in the line of duty and helps send them to Washington, D.C., for annual memorial services.
"My understanding is the ride will continue," he said. "I am sure the officers would not want it any other way."

CRIME Officers shoot and kill knife-wielding man
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Officers responding to a disturbance shot and killed a man who lunged at them with a knife, police said.
The shooting happened about 1:45 p.m. Monday. John P. Arzola, 34, whom police believed was from Kansas City, Mo., was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police spokeswoman Jackie Waters said the officers were called to Union Pacific Railroad property by workers there. They found Arzola outside his sport utility vehicle, which was parked on some tracks.
Arzola was acting strangely and throwing items out of the vehicle, Waters said.
"He was waving the knife around," she said. "The officers were trying to get him to put the knife down. He continued to refuse. He lunged at the officers, and the officers then were forced to shoot to defend themselves."
There were two or three officers on the scene, Waters said, but it was not immediately clear how many of them shot at Arzola.
The officers had asked for another officer with a stun gun to come to the scene to help subdue Arzola, Waters said. The shooting happened before someone with a stun gun could reach the scene.

Tis the season for rankings, and depending on your attitude, the University of Kansas is either more rank than last year, or the aroma has never been better.
Kansan employees strive to bring KU students unbiased coverage — successfully or unsuccessfully — but most of us have a certain pride in the University, whether U.S. News and World Report ranks it first or last. Many KU students share this attitude.
Many would disagree, and we would hope that they would be working to improve our community through actions such as voicing dissent or advocating a worthy cause.
For what it's worth, outsiders' opinions have improved. For 2007, the publication ranks the University 39th among public universities and 88th among national universities. The University improved six spots among public universities and nine spots overall from last year's standings. But the rankings fail to tell the University's story.
The magazine's analysis uncovers a small fraction of the University's qualities by emphasizing numbers. It used 15 quantitative indicators to measure academic quality, including a peer assessment survey of university administrators, student retention rates, acceptance
rates, per-student spending graduation rates and the average percentage of alumni who contribute.
Perhaps equally important are the characteristics for which the publication lacks data. The publication acknowledges in its "About the rankings" section that its study neglects "the feel of campus life, activities, sports, academic offerings, location, cost and availability of financial aid."
As American author Henry Miller said, "Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music — the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself."
Once a student has enrolled, rankings amount to little more than a popularity contest. Future students may rely on the 2007 rankings to make the decision to apply, but after they have spent enough time here, the reason they came won't be the numbers 39 or 88.
Just ask the students who responded to the "101 things to do before you graduate" in last week's Jayplay.
Substitute "the University of Kansas" for "the world" in the above quotation and forget your ranking too.

New to KU? Get ready to ride the rockercoaster
To those of you new to our illustrious hill, you're going to like it here. As the newest generation of Jayhawks, you have not experienced the blur that is the University of Kansas and all that is associated with it. There are a few things you need to know.
Let's establish this first and fast if you are new to the University and have a boyfriend or girlfriend who lives more than 10 miles away; cut loose and move on. There is fun to be had, and all you need is your boys or girls to make this happen.

If you're a returning female and you still have a boyfriend from back home, he's (still) cheating on you. If he's not, he will be soon. That's okay, because so will you. But don't free young ones; solo is the best way to start college.
The college lifestyle is much different from high school. You're going to do things you never could have imagined while in your mom's basement, surrounded by Brad Pitt, J-Lo
or "The Lord of the Rings" posters, depending on your taste.
men, you will at some point drunkenly hook up with some girl you may think looks like Jessica Simpson but who really looks more like the Ultimate Warrior, circa 1991.
Women, you're going to make out with your best friend, and with that creepy guy on the dance floor who won't take his hands off your butt. But, hey, you'll be able to milk him for a couple drinks so don't be too upset.
A weird morning in high school would be waking up at your friend's house, or maybe in your car. A weird morning in college is waking up by the ATM at the Commerce Bank next to Montana Mike's. You probably won't have your shoes. I promise all of you will wake up missing at least one shoe at some point in your college years.
Here is some advice to the new women: If a guy walks up to you wearing a shirt that says something like, "My girlfriend is at home," or "Moms love me," leave him alone. He has herpes. If his shirt has a giant "68" on it and says, "You owe me one," you should at least give him your number because that is just funny. And no, I don't own that shirt, but I almost wish I did.
want to fight you. You never know when you will need a solid kicking foot.
Here is my advice to the men:
Never wear flip-flops when you go out. When you're drunk and peeing either at a bar or a party, you're going to splatter or pee directly on your unguarded foot, and that sucks. Plus, you never know when someone will
That's why I only wear steel-toed boots with spurs. Whether it's at a party or on the beach, I never leave my trusted rodeo boots at home.
This has just been a sampling of things to expect or consider while in college. Do things you'll regret: They make better stories. Don't do things you'll be ashamed of: they make sad A.A. stories. Go out, meet some people and have fun.

KU needs to learn how to market itself
Dear University of Kansas Marketing Department:
I see that KU did not meet its long-term ambitions to be a top-25 public university in this year's U.S. News and World Report. I feel a spirited obligation to share my developed eye for strong marketing campaigns with you. As there is no difference between illusion and truth, the following suggestions are the only hurdle between a place in the 30s and a top-10 spot.
First, I notice many grungy people — construction workers and other blue-collar folk — are allowed to sport Kansas apparel. These Kansaspirited fellows inevitably depress me, as I must contemplate whether their career awaits me and my English degree. I suggest we become far more selective about who may don crimson and blue. We can begin immediately by buying the less desirable out of their KU clothes.
Waste not want not — we can give these same shirts to intellectuals and aesthetics across the country, pensive people who can help us strengthen an underdeveloped correlation outside the state between Kansas and thinking. The wear and tear the apparel may have sustained would add authenticity.
My last recommendation solves a problem I often encounter outside our wheat-enriched state. "KUU" I hear. "You go to Kentucky?" Rather than adding curls and serifs to the ambiguously abbreviated KU, let us change our name entirely to something that strikes one with the immediate conviction of high standards. I imagine we can rise 10 spots in one sweep with a name like "Old Money Power University" or something resonant of mythic veneration like "Zeus: The University."
I have complete faith that the inefficiencies addressed above are the only blockades between our current home in the second tier and a chic top-tier position in the U.S. News and World Report next year. Best of luck.
Second, I cannot help but recognize that buildings on campus are named after non-famous people. Malott — the name means nothing to me. Let us solicit small donations from students and alumni with famous last names and replace building names like Wescoe with ones more suggestive of stunning capability like Franklin. We can also reconcile recent controversies by renaming a program, like the Richard Dawkins School of Evolutionary Science.
I suggest our University remain in a constant state of construction as to appear on the rise in a big way. We can hire student architects to draw designs of ambitious buildings, reminiscent of DeCorbusier or Frank Lloyd Wright, and post them in front of plots on and near campus. The trick is to build very slowly and to never finish. Kansas seems to have this approach down pat on funded projects; let us adopt the approach to projects where funding is "in progress."

A large group of scholarship hall residents line-up at the grand re-opening of Joe's Bakery, 616 W. Ninth St., at midnight on Wednesday

Joe's Bakery New twist on sweet tradition
New owners extend pastry service hours; students celebrate with long lines, Hawk Week Joe's Run
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
The tradition continues — hot, fresh doughnuts available into the late hours of the night.
That sweet, sugary smell wafting around Ninth and Indiana streets is luring customers back to Joe's Bakery, home of the original glazed-doughnut recipe that has kept pastry lovers returning for 55 years.
Joe's Bakery, named after its owner Joe Smith, had its grand re-opening Tuesday evening after a three-week closure in July. That's all it took for new owners, Kenny Tibbits and Ron Hall, to take over.
And with new ownership comes new hours, nearly around-the-clock pastry service. But the hours are nothing new for residents who remember the original owners of this Lawrence landmark.
The new hours are the same as they were when Joe's first opened: 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through
Friday, 6 a.m. to 3 a.m. on Saturday and 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. as well as 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Sunday.
Julie Patterson, Lawrence resident, has lived in the city for 30 years and remembering goes to Joe's Bakery since she was young. She said she was excited for it to return to its extended hours because it's a Lawrence tradition. Her boyfriend lives above the bakery, and she said she can smell the doughnuts all day.
"The thing at joes was we got the glazed doughnuts at night when they were fresh," she said. "It was like eating a piece of heaven."
Steven Thompson knew it was worth the wait. As the first customer
in line, he waited 45 minutes for the bakery to open. He wanted his dollar bill to be the first used as an exchange of loyalty to the owners, who had repeatedly visited his place of employment, next door, Presto Convenience Store No. 25, 602 W. Ninth St.

Tibbits and Hall get ready for the

grand re-opening, said he called Hall in July to see if he would buy the business. It took only four hours for Hall to confirm and call Tibbits to ask if he would be his partner.
"It's the first time I've ever owned a business," Tibbits said. "I'm excited but it's a lot of work and cleaning up."
Before Rettle, Joe's son, Ralph, owned the bakery for the last 12 years. He said that it was always going to stay Joe's Bakery and that all the recipes have stayed the same too.
The grand re-opening also came just in time for another tradition — Joe's Run, an annual scholarship hall event that happens the Tuesday of
Hawk Week. About 250 scholarship hall residents walked from their halls to Joe's at midnight for doughnuts.
Between bites of her jelly-filled doughnut, Clarice Amorim, Recife, Brazil, freshman and resident of Miller Scholarship Hall, said a lot of the events during Hawk Week made her feel more at home. She said they only had Dunkin' Donuts in Brazil and no one really went to it, but she might go to Joe's more often.

ENTERTAINMENT British band member treated for drug addiction
LONDON — A planned U.S. tour by Keane has been postponed while singer Tom Chaplin is being treated for drug and alcohol addiction, the British band said Tuesday.
In a statement posted on the band's Web site, Chaplin, 27, said he was "having to deal with an increasing problem with drink and drugs, and the time has come to get the professional help I need to sort myself out."
The tour had been due to start in Chicago on Sept. 7.
"I feel desperately disappointed to be letting down our fans, but I want to get myself right now so that I can be back on the road for the rest of the year," Chaplin said.
Keane had already canceled several appearances, citing Chaplin's "exhaustion."
The trio released their melodic debut album, "Hopes and Fears," in 2004. Their second album, "Under the Iron Sea," entered the British album charts at No. 1 when it was released in June.
New song to pay tribute to Oklahoma's past, future
OKLAHOMA CITY — Nice Gill and Jimmy Webb have written a song to celebrate Oklahoma and its people as the state nears its centennial.
Gill wrote the music and Webb wrote the lyrics for "Oklahoma Rising", which is intended to complement the state's official song, "Oklahoma!" from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical.
The song remembers Oklahoma's early days and explores the promise of the 21st century. It also touches on difficult periods, from the Dust Bowl to the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.
"Oklahoma Rising" will make its debut Sept. 11 at a private event at the Civic Center Music Hall, said Centennial Projects and Events Chairman Lee Allan Smith. The 100th anniversary of the state's admission to the union is Nov. 16, 2007.

ENTERTAINMENT Country singer supports ban on horse slaughter
WASHINGTON — Texan Willie Nelson is raising his voice in defense of a symbol of the West -- wild horses.
In a news release issued this
week, Nelson touts a Sept. 5 Washington rally in support of the bill sponsored by Rep. John Sweeney, R-N.Y.
Country singer Nelson is the latest to join an effort to ban the slaughter of horses in the U.S. for consumption of their meat abroad.The U.S.House is scheduled to vote Sept. 7 on a bill aimed at ending horse slaughter
"If you've ever been around horses a lot, especially wild horses, you know they are part of the American heritage. I don't think it's right that we kill them and eat them," Nelson said in a telephone interview Tuesday.
Nelson said he wouldn't be at the rally, but his daughter Amy would, along with other celebrities, including former "10" star Bo Derek and Jennifer Pryor, wife of the late comedian Richard Pryor.
Nelson recorded the songs "On the Road Again" and "Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys."
TV star's uncle accused of child sexual assault
GOLDEN, Colo. — Bail has been set at $50,000 for Vincent Margera, uncle of "Viva La Bam" star Bam Margera, on a charge of sexual assault on a child.
Vincent Margera, 50, was arrested Friday in the Denver suburb of Lakewood.
Lakewood city spokeswoman Stacie Oulton has said he is accused of two incidents of sexual assault on a child involving inappropriate touching.
During his court hearing Monday, prosecutors claimed he had "groped" a 14-year-old.
Vincent Margera had come to Colorado to film promotional material for ManiaTV.com and was arrested after a skateboarding event at a mall.
Vincent Margera had not posted ball by mid-afternoon Monday.
The MTV show "Viva La Bam" focuses largely on Bam Margera playing practical jokes on his parents and uncle, whose dialogue is often unintelligible.
Citing new evidence, singer tries to change plea
FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Mindy McCready petitioned Tuesday to withdraw her guilty plea in a probation violation case, saying she had uncovered new evidence.
The country singer had pleaded guilty to violating her probation on a drug charge by driving on a suspended license and leaving Tennessee. McCready, 30, was scheduled to find out Tuesday if a judge would send her to jail for violating her probation on a suspended three-year sentence for fraudulently obtaining the prescription painkillers Oxycontin.
But her attorney, Lee Dryer, said the singer's relatives in Florida found a document that showed her license was reinstated the day before she was arrested on the driving charge in May 2005. Dryer said the new evidence was given to him late Monday night.
A Nashville jury acquitted McCready last month of drunken driving but convicted her of driving on a suspended license.
"I said when I was pulled over that my license was not suspended,
and I was correct," McCready said after Tuesday's hearing.
McCready is to be sentenced in September on the driving charge, and Dryer said he will be seeking a new trial after that.
Williamson County Judge Jeff Bivins said he would hold off on a decision in the probation violation case until Nashville courts rule on the matter.
But the judge said McCready's failure to get permission to travel to Florida in 2005 was still at issue. McCready's Florida trip made news because the singer was hospitalized there after a suicide attempt.
McCready, who had a No. 1 hit in 1996 with "Guys Do It All the Time," has struggled in recent years.
Two days after her DUI arrest, she was injured in a beating by her former boyfriend, William McKnight, who pleaded guilty to domestic assault and was sentenced to serve 30 days in jail.
McCready has since sued McKnight over the beating and given birth to his child.
I am so grateful to you. I hope that you will continue to support me and be a part of my family.

Knee injury forces team reorganization
Bechard will look to freshmen to step up, fill spot of player out all season
BY DREW DAVISON
Volleyball coach Ray Bechard announced yesterday that Natalie Uhart, middle blocker, will be out the rest of the season.
An awkward landing caused the injury, Bechard said, and Uhart will have surgery in a couple weeks.
Uhart, the preseason Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, injured her knee during the KU Alumni Scrimmage on Saturday. The severity of her injury was unknown until yesterday.
"I am confident everybody here at the University of Kansas will support her and her total recovery," Bechard said.
Uhart's experience and athleticism
were expected to help fill the void left by Josi Lima. Lima, a four-time All-Big 12 selection, graduated and now plays professionally in Spain.
"Natalie came in at the same level of Jost," Jana Correa, senior outside hitter said. "Now we have freshmen, so we lose a little bit, but I think they'll be okay. They just need to grow up quickly."
Brittany Williams, freshman middle blocker, is projected to become the starter.
"Williams seems to have that opportunity," Bechard said. "We were training Caitlin Mahoney more on the right side, but now we'll give Caitlin that opportunity too. Those two have the most experience that will make that transition the
Emily Brown, junior right side hitter and setter, is confident the team will be able to bounce back after losing Uhart.
smoothest."
"Definitely a big loss, not only skill wise but Natalie is a great teammate," she said. "She's a great person, just awesome to have in the gym. It's definitely a loss, but I think we'll be all right."
Staying healthy will be one of the biggest goals for the jayhawks.
Last year, Kansas had nine healthy players for the NCAA tournament. Therefore, the team has added depth. Sixteen players are on the roster this season and 15 are active.
One of the key losses from last season was Correa, who tore her
ACL during the Kansas State game.
Correa said she was healthy and ready to start the season after Saturday's scrimmage.
The Jayhawks season gets underway at the Crismon Tide Invitational in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Friday afternoon they play Alabama A&M and Saturday they have a double header against Miami and Alabama.
"I think I did well. It was my first game after eight months," she said. "I was confident and I am excited for the rest of the year."

》CLUB SPORTS
Women's soccer club recruiting to win this season
BY KAYVON SARRAF
The University of Kansas women's soccer club is working to recruit players for this season that want highly competitive games without the varsity practice schedule.
Club members have the opportunity to travel around the country and play games against other athletes.
"We're competitive, but we still have the camaraderie that comes with any team or club," said Sarah Murphy, club vice president and Topeka sophomore. "We're able to combine a great bonding experience with playing the game that we love."
Last year, the club traveled to the National Intramural Recreational Sports Association Soccer Sport Club Championship in Tuscaloosa, Ala., where it lost to eventual champion Virginia in an overtime quarterfinal match. This year, plans are in place to travel to nationals in Tempe, Ariz., in addition to playing tournaments in Chicago and Manhattan, Kan.
Caitlin McKeown, club president and Barrington, III. senior, said the team planned on keeping between
20 and 25 players, depending on the talent pool's depth at tryouts. Every year the team is forced to make a few cuts.
She said she was not worried about the possibility of potential players walking on to the varsity team. Club sports require a different attitude than varsity sports.
"Varsity soccer requires much more dedication and commitment," she said. "We're competitive but are a lot more laid back than the varsity team."
At the same time, Murphy said the team finds a happy medium between intramurals and varsity level play. Intramurals are for players who do not have much experience playing, while only playing one time per week.
McKeown said the team's schedule is similar to that of a high school club team, with practices three days a week and games every weekend in the fall. Every girl on the team has experience playing at the high school level, with some having a stint playing varsity level soccer at small colleges.
Murphy said that while she and the other team captains will likely make a few cuts at tryouts, soccer
skills are not the only thing she will be looking for. She will also be looking at how girls get along with the rest of the team. She hopes to get to know all interested participants.
"Conditioning is another important factor, but we really want to find girls that are going to fit in well with the rest of the team," Murphy said.
McKeown said the whole season is a build-up to nationals, where the team has had success the past few seasons, including a second place finish three seasons ago.
"All the tournaments we play are to help us prepare for nationals, which is the culmination of our season." McKeown said.
As a club sport, the team is forced to provide its own funds. Past fundraising events have included T-shirt sales.
Any girls with questions about the club should attend an informational meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. Tryouts begin at 4 p.m. Monday at the Shenk Complex, 23rd and Iowa streets, and will continue on Tuesday and Thursday next week at the same time.
Aggies' new quarterback brings energy
-Edited by Mindy Ricketts
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Dating back to his first spring at Texas A&M, sophomore quarterback Stephen McGee made it known that, someday, the Aggies would be his team to lead.
Late in a 2005 spring practice, coach Dennis Franchione approached McGee about becoming a leader for the defense, in addition to the offense. McGee then took the field against the defense, in the midst of a drill where quarterbacks weren't supposed to get hit, and decided to ruffle some feathers — linebacker Justin Warren's feathers.
"So Stephen breaks a run, comes down the line, and Justin comes over to tag off like he's supposed to do with the quarterback and Stephen lowers his shoulder and knocks Justin down," Franchione said. "I think the team responded well to it and got everybody a little bit fired up. And that was his way of sending his message to compete hard."
McGee's fiery attitude will be a welcome, and much needed, addition to a Texas A&M squad that lost its last four games of the 2005 season when it needed only one more win to become bowl eligible.
Kansan sportswriter Kayvon Sarraf can be contacted at ksarraf@ kansan.com.
But don't confuse his in-your-face
demeanor on the field for arrogance or showmanship. He's the ultimate team player.
"When the guys see me play, I want them to see a guy that first cares about his teammates more than himself," he said. "If there's a yard to get or an inch to get, I'm going to dive and take a hit for them because they're important."
McGee is used to the pain from taking hits, but 2006 may also inflict some growing pains on the young quarterback. Texas A&M will depend on McGee growing this season along with an offense that returns only six starters from 2005.
The rushing attack should suffer no setbacks from last year with most of the key elements returning, including senior running back Courtney Lewis and sophomore Jorvorskie Lane.
Creating lanes for the backs will be a line that returns four starters: juniors Corey Clark, tackle, Kirk Elder, guard, and Cody Wallace, center, along with sophomore tackle Yemi Babalola. Senior guard Grant Dickey is listed as the fifth offensive lineman.
McGee will have an experienced group of receivers, although two of them are coming off severe injuries. Senior Chad Schroeder and junior Earvin Taylor are listed as starters
for the Aggies, but both suffered broken legs that ended their 2005 seasons. Schroeder was still the team's second leading receiver with 335 yards and five touchdowns.
Similar to the offense, the defense returns six players with starting experience, but only one started all 11 games last season. The defense will have at least one veteran at each level of its unit, which will feature four lineemen, two linebackers and five backs. That experience leads junior defensive tackle Red Bryant to believe the Aggie defense has something to prove in 2006.
If Texas A&M's postseason chances are on the line again down the stretch, it will rely on its new quarterback's intensity to clinch a postseason berth.
"It's hard to replace Reggie McNeal, but McGee — just by his leadership and the way he is — we've seen him get hit and he jumps back up," Bryant said. "He sparks the team and I feel like he makes everyone around him better, so I feel like we're headed in the right direction."

field Tuesday, avoiding a lifetime penalty in exchange for his cooperation with doping authorities and because his first positive drug test was deemed an honest mistake.
Gatlin tested positive following the Kansas Relays in April for testosterone or other steroids, five years after his first positive test, which was for medicine to control attention-deficit disorder. Under the World Anti-Doping Agency code, a second doping offense calls for a lifetime ban.
He will forfeit the world record he tied in May, when he ran the 100 meters in 9.77 seconds. At age 24, the lengthy ban would all but knock Gatlin out of competition for the rest of his life.
But Gatlin reached a compromise with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, which levies doping penalties in America. Under terms of the compromise, he can still appeal to an arbitration panel in the next six months to have the term reduced.
The first offense occurred while Gatlin was in college. He stopped taking the ADD medicine a few days before competition, but it did not clear his system. He received a two-year ban for that test, which was reduced by a year because of the "exceptional circumstances" of the offense.
"The nature of Gatlin's first offense for use of his medication puts this violation in a unique category," said USADA chief executive officer Terry Madden.
Gatlin has said he didn't know how steroids got into his system this time.

SUMMER (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
During her first year, Giangrosso did not make the five-man roster for the first tournament and also contracted mono during the winter.
She bounced back and earned a spot on the roster for the Marilynn Smith Invitational, where she took fifth place. Her biggest success came during the summer when she placed first at the Kansas Amateur Championship.
"After the first two days it was between a girl from K-State and me, and I would rather die than see someone from K-State win," Giangrosso said.
She hopes to use the win as a springboard into the season to lead the incoming freshmen by example.
Although Giangrosso said the past summer was the best of her golfing career, it was the first time she traveled without her family.
"They have been nothing but supportive all along. I call them every day," she said. "My home is always open to my teammates."
Even with success on the golf
course, Giangrosso doesn't plan to continue playing after college. Instead, she wants to focus on coaching.
Although she does not wish to continue playing golf after graduating, she still loves the game, and said being a coach will allow her to stay close to it. She said golf is something she has a deep respect for, and golfers are people she wants to be around.
"Right now, my heart is not in playing professional golf," she said.
"It takes a lot of guts to go out and take a chance that you might not play as well as you'd like," Glangrosso said. "I like how you are going to go out and at the end of 18 holes, you sign your score card and it's only your responsibility."

Cards fall to Mets
BY BEN WALKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Carlos Beltran swung, and quickly an exciting night for the New York Mets became an exhilarating one.
Beltran hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning, putting a rousing ending to a game of grand-slam derby between Albert Pujols and Carlos Delgado and rallying the Mets over the St. Louis Cardinals 8-7 Tuesday.
"This is a potential playoff atmosphere," Beltran said. "Whoever wins this series is going to make a statement."
Pujols hit a slam and a three-run homer for St. Louis, setting a career-high with seven RBI. Delgado almost matched that for the Mets, crunching a solo shot and
a slam to reach 400 homers.
"It doesn't matter. It's not about me." Puki said.
Beltran's one-out drive to right field off Jason Isringhausen (4-7) capped the Mets' comeback from a 7-1 deficit.
It also decided the game between NL division leaders and gave the Mets a five-game winning streak.
On a rollicking night at Shea Stadium, a Mets crowd of 49,661 that included former President Clinton had plenty to cheer about. Fans found out before the game pitcher Tom Glavine would not need surgery on his left shoulder.
They later learned outfielder Shawn Green was acquired from Arizona.
"It was a nice night," Delgado said.
Even though frozen lemonades were the reason she started playing golf, she believes her father is responsible for her success.
LEADER (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
"He has always been my coach," she said. "I wouldn't be where I am without him."
Costner said she has excelled in golf with her father's support and a strong work ethic. She practices every day for at least two hours. In one putting drill alone, she will force herself to make three consecutive shots from four different angles before moving on.
During tournaments, Costner plans every hole before she shets off. She loves competition and said it is one of the reasons she loves the game so much.
"I've always been competitive, and I like when pressure is put on," Costner said. "I think it's awesome that golf is something that you can play your whole life and experience the camaraderie that comes with it."
The ability to play the game she loves is a blessing in her eyes.
"God is definitely the number one thing in my life. God gave me this gift, so that is what I do it for,"
After the season ends, she wants to continue playing golf. She is looking for sponsors for the LPGA, and plans to be on the Futures Tour after graduation.
she said.
If golf does not work out, Costner, an applied behavior science major, wants to work with under-privileged children and is looking forward to an internship with a truancy program this year.
Costner and her teammates enjoy going to movies together and eating fast food at each other's apartments.
"My favorite is Taco Bueno, actually," Costner said. "But Taco Bell is where I can get my Mexican food fix."
With the help of her friends and family, Costner has already experienced success in the golf world, and this is only the beginning.

CORNISH (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
The biggest difference in the system this season for Cornish is that he won't be splitting playing time with Green.
Last season, Green had nearly 20 more overall carries than Cornish, yet Cornish still managed 120 more yards. In the last four games of the 2005 season, Cornish averaged more than 80 yards a game. He'll need to average just above 80 yards a game in all 12 games this season to break the 1,000 yard mark.
Mangino will need that much production out of Cornish and more to help take the pressure off redshirt freshman quarterback Kerrv Meier.
Mangino will also rely on Cornish for even more of the rushing workload after the season-ending injury to his backup, redshirt freshman Angus Quigley, last week. While Mangino believes he has able backups in freshman running back Jake Sharp and junior fullback Brandon McAnderson, Cornish will still have to carry the offense, especially if Meier struggles early.
But that's just fine with Cornish. He's been waiting for this chance all along.
"I wanted to carry the load last year, and I want to carry the load this year," Cornish said.

》 FANTASY FOOTBALL
Football in a fantasy world
Normally, I'll tell you which players to add, drop, trade, trade for, or put on the IR (Fred Taylor, I'm looking in your direction). But today, with no regular season games on the slate for the upcoming weekend, we'll do a draft special. These are the five fantasy football draft commandments. Why five? Because 10 is just too many.
1) Thou shalt do a live draft Yeah, I know, the internet drafts are convenient and fast, but there aren't many excuses for 10 buddies to get together for a night of beer and sports. Trust me. It's much more entertaining to make fun of your buddy for trying to draft Marshall Faulk in person.
2) Thou shalt be on time and with beer. Pretty self-explanatory, nobody likes the guy who shows up late and busts out lines like, "Hey man, you mind if I bum another beer off of you? I'll hit you back, I promise." Yeah, right.
3) Thou shalt not ignore thy league scoring system. One of the most common questions: Where should I draft Peyton Manning? Answer: It depends. How does your league score passing yards vs. rushing yards? My league last year only valued rushing touchdowns at four points each, so I drafted Peyton Manning second overall and won my league with ease. With most formats though, I'd say late first to early second (maybe

higher with so many question marks surrounding Clinton Portis, LaMont Jordan and Brian Westbrook).
4) Thou shalt not draft players with the same bye week. Having Rudi Johnson, Shaun Alexander and Andre Johnson on the same team sounds great, right? Wrong. All three of those players have a bye in week five. Without those three players in your lineup, you might as well forfeit the week.
5) Thou shalt pay attention to weeks 15 and 16. When drafting, think about your league's playoffs (weeks 15 and 16 in most leagues). If you think your team is playoff worthy, prepare for it. Clinton Portis will face New Orleans and St. Louis during fantasy playoff time. That sounds a little more appetizing than Willie Parker's Carolina-Baltimore finish.

Royals overpower Indians
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mark Teahen is doing his best to make the Carlos Beltran trade turn out well for the Kansas City Royals after all.
"He's an impressive young player," said Cleveland manager Eric
A key in the deal that sent the All-Star center fielder to Houston, Teaheen was thought to be a bust when he was shipped down to Triple-A this spring hitting a paltry. 195.
However, a month in Omaha apparently did wonders. After going 4-for-4 Tuesday night in the Royals' 5-2 victory over Cleveland, the slender third baseman is hitting .295.
Wedge. "He's a great example of somebody that worked hard."
Teahen had a home run and two doubles and scored the go-ahead run on Victor Martinez's throwing error, helping Odalis Perez (1-1) get his first victory in four months. Teahen also had two stolen bases.
"You go through the minors always being a good player," Teahen said. "Then you get here and I struggled through last year and struggled the first month (this year). I think it was good for me to get there and regain that confidence that I'm a good ballplayer."
In his last 13 games, he has scored 10 runs and driven in eight while hitting six doubles and three home runs.
"I didn't change a whole lot mechanically," Teahen said. "I just got comfortable with what I was doing and got some confidence. I've just been building that more or less ever since I got back."
Perez gave up two runs and seven hits in seven innings for his first victory as a starter since April 21 when he beat Arizona while pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Teahan hit a two-run homer in the first inning and then hustled out his second double in the sixth. He bolted for an attempted steal of third a moment later and came home, making it 3-2, when Martinez throw sailed a couple of feet over the head of third baseman Andy Marte.

Amanda Costner, senior, and Annie Giangrosso, junior, get together Saturday at the Alvamar Golf Course in Lawrence. Both girls went to the Amateur Championships in Oregon.
Families help golfers find success
Team leader discovered love of sport after trips to golf course with father
BY JOSH LANDAU
Amanda Costner can attribute all of her success in goof to one thing: frozen lemonades.
If it weren't for them, Costner said she would have never played golf.
"When I was 10 or 11, my dad used to take my sister and I to the driving range. We only went for the free frozen lemonades." Costner, a senior, said.
After a few frozen lemonades, she tried her luck at the game, and her father saw potential.
Costner's father thought she hit the ball well so he enrolled her in lessons and entered her in tournaments.
At Claremore High School in Oklahoma, she won the state tournament her junior year and was runner-up her sophomore and senior years.
Costner became a team leader during her first season at the University of Kansas. She led the team in four of the six spring tournaments and finished seventh in the Big 12 Championships. Last year, Costner was named to the All-Big 12 team and she recently competed in the Amateur Championships in Oregon.

Summer gives players a chance to travel compete, prepare for upcoming season
Annie Giangrosso usually travels with her family for golf tournaments, so it took some convincing to persuade her parents to let her take a road trip to Colorado with her teammates.
Along with having fun, she was able to learn a lot from teammate Amanda Costner.
BY JOSH LANDAU
We knew each other before I came here, Costner said, but we became best friends when we traveled together.
"Annie is a great golfer and our team wouldn't be the same without her." Costner said.
Giangrosso, a junior, saw it as an opportunity to improve on her game
by spending time with Costner.
"It really helped me out to see how she prepared and played in tournaments." Giangrosso said.
Giangrosso was not always focused solely on golf. She played multiple sports in high school. She didn't start seriously golfing until halfway through high school, when she said she focused on golf to earn college scholarships.
Giangrosso knew she wanted to pursue sports management in college and picked the only school that made sense to her: the University of Kansas.

Chiefs will improve after early blunders
I'm nervous about this Saturday.
Not because it's my last day at U-Haul or because my social calendar is as bare as most college students' kitchen cupboards, save for that lone can of tomato soup.
I'm nervous because the Chiefs are playing Saturday night.
I don't care that they're playing the St. Louis Rams for the Governor's Cup. Yeah, bragging rights in the preseason, get your best jabs ready. No, forget the Rams, it doesn't matter who the Chiefs are playing. This game Saturday is as big as a preseason game gets for a professional franchise.
"But Fred, didn't you write a column over the summer that was singing the praises of 'your Chiefs' and how the signing of Ty Law and the addition of coach Herm Edwards were the missing pieces to a Super Bowl celebration in the streets of Kansas City come February?"
Yes, evil Fred, you're correct, I did write that column. Gulp. But to anyone who has seen the chumps, err, Chiefs in action so far, the Chiefs look about as ready for the regular season as Floridians for a snow storm. The Chiefs have not looked good. A big, 6-foot-5-inch, 320-pound reason the Chiefs have not looked good this preseason has been the departure of Willie Roaf. The 13-year veteran's retirement prior to training camp has dwarfed any news coming out of Kansas City or River Falls the last three weeks, because, as anyone who watched last year knows, this team needs Big Willie.
Speculation has run rampant since Roaf's retirement that he was going to come back and that he just wanted to miss training camp. Yet Big Willie's appearance on ESPN2's Cold Pizza a week or so ago dismissing that notion set a lot of Chiefs fans back. Most of us are still hanging on to the fact that, hey, he is an athlete, and athletes usually retire three or four times before they really retire.
Check out the most recent case, Junior Seau. Did you see that guy's retirement press conference? I couldn't tell if the dude was rapping or preaching. Best part, he signs with the Patriots a few days later.
1950-1953
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
KANSAN COLUMNIST
FDAVIS@KANSAN.COM
Back to the Chiefs though. Besides missing Willie Roaf, the Chiefs are missing tackles, blocks and, against the Giants, the scoreboard.
After the Texans game, I thought, no biggie, the defense did look like the Chiefs defense we've known to despise and bemoan. Casey Printers' overall Madden rating should be somewhere around 59 and why isn't our boy Nick Reid getting more looks? It's preseason! Who cares?
I just knew Herm the Perm Edwards would get things right before the Giants game.
Then after watching the Chiefs get drubbed on national television by the Giants and wondering how Joe Buck has made it as far as he has — oh, his dad, that's right — I got to thinking, this isn't good. I thought Herms mantra was "You play to win the game," not "You lose so no one remembers your name."
But despite all that I've seen - Casey Printers included - from my beloved Kansas City Chiefs so far, I'm still sticking with my boys to, as the great Big Daddy Kane would say, Get the Job Done.
Herm Edwards is a leader of men, and he knows what every Chiefs fan knows, the team hasn't played to its potential. The defense is still figuring things out and though it has looked dismal, there is too much talent for it to continue playing the way it has.
Meanwhile the offense, yeah, about the offense, we've still got Larry Johnson! And besides, it's only the preseason! So why isn't my man Nick Reid getting more looks?

Cornish sets goals high for season
After four years senior running back takes field with new optimism and no backup
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Jon Cornish could have played professional football this year.
Despite never declaring professional intentions, Cornish was the first running back selected by the Calgary Stampeders in the second round of April's Canadian Football League draft. The senior was eligible because he had been in college four years and had Canadian citizenship.
No, the reason he never considered returning north of the border to continue playing football was simple: He's still got unfinished business here in Kansas.
Cornish said he never seriously considered the offer, though. It wasn't because he grew up playing football by American rules or because he just isn't a CRL fan.
here in Kansas.
"I have some pretty lofty goals for myself this season," Cornish said. "I want to carry the ball as much as possible, I want to catch the ball as much as possible, and I want to help the team as much as possible."
He has already said that a 1,000 yard season isn't out of the question. It would be quite an accomplishment, considering the last Kansas running back to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a single season was 13 years and two head coaches ago. Former Jayhawk June Henley rushed
1,127 yards in 1993, which ranks sixth all-time on Kansas' single season rushing list.
Cornish goals don't bother Kansas coach Mark Mangino. They just come with one stipulation.
It has taken Cornish four seasons of continued improvement to get to the point of talking about such high aspirations.
"I want to carry the ball as much as possible, I want to catch the ball as much as possible, and I want to help the team as much as possible."
"If he's going ___ to talk the talk, he better walk the walk," Mangino said jokingly.
football and has to be a good pass protector. He has made a concerted effort to improve himself in those areas."
Mangino said Cornish's role from last season would change in order for the team to be successful.

"The reality is that he has to become a complete running back; Mangino said. "He has to catch the
He came to Lawrence in 2002 off a stellar high school career in New Westminster, British Columbia, where he rushed for 2,136 yards and 31 touchdowns during his senior season. As a result, Cornish was named the

yards. After serving as a backup running back for former Jayhawks Clark Green and John Randle in his sophomore season, Cornish had his breakout season in 2005.
He led Kansas last season in total rushing yards, 780, rushing touchdowns, 9, average yards per carry, 5.8, and average yards per game, 65. Above all, Cornish's speed provided a complement to Green's power rushing style.

Cornish's speed and ability especially became evident toward the end of last season. His 72-yard touchdown run in the third quarter of last season's emotional victory against Nebraska showed just how explosive he had become.

New bars not always successful
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
KANSAN
Charlie Myers, a 2003 graduate, thought it would be easy owning a bar in a college town.
Myers opened The Mad Hatter, 623 Vermont St., in late July 2004. He thought his bar would be a success, but was still hesitant about opening a business.
"It's a big risk for someone my age, but on the flip side, I'm young and I don't have a family to support," Myers said. "I could take that risk."
The bar closed its doors last May.

Myers wasn't alone in wrongly assuming that opening a bar in a college town would be a successful venture; the Mad Hatter was not the only bar that went out of business in the past year to be replaced almost immediately with another.

Fraternity fails to pay property taxes
Despite plans for additions to house, Sigma Alpha Epsilon owes more than $31,500
BY DAVID LINHARDT
In the middle of a $250,000 campaign to raise funds to make improvements and additions to its building, Sigma Alpha Epsilon failed to pay more than $31,500 in property taxes that it owes Douglas County for 2005.
Students operate the chapter's house at 1301 West Campus Road, but Rich Litrell, Sigma Alpha Epsilon's treasurer, placed most of the blame for missing payments on an alumni officer.
"We got rid of some alumni officers over this issue," Litrell said. "They were not fulfilling their obligations to the chapter."
Litrell has been the fraternity's
treasurer for about a year and a half. He said he thought a payment of more than $30,000 was made on March 17, but the Douglas County treasurer's office confirmed that no payments had been made as of Wednesday morning.
It's a matter of delinquency causing delinquency, Littell said.
Stacy Kurtz, director of taxation and accounting at the Douglas County Treasurer's office, said that about $7.45 of interest was added daily to the fraternity's delinquent balance.
To date, the fraternity owes about $31,554 to the county for the property tax on its house across the street from Carruth-O'Leary Hall, which is southwest of Memorial
Stadium. Douglas County appraised the value of the house and its land at $2.4 million for 2006.
Litrell said the fraternity planned to use some of the money raised by its capital campaign to finance the tax bill.
The chapter is setting up a plan with a bank to pay delinquent taxes from 2005 as well as the taxes due for 2006, said Kenny Bauman, chapter president.
"We're perfectly capable of taking care of ourselves," Bauman said. "I consider this a personal issue of the chapter."
Litrell declined to comment further on the new treasurer's plan for dealing with the overdue taxes.
William Meier, the chapter's new
alumni treasurer, said the former alumni treasurer had moved to another city and simply stopped his volunteer duties with the chapter.
From summer of 2005 until this past January, Sigma Alpha Epsilon didn't have an alumni treasurer and the property taxes were not paid.
Property taxes are typically paid in two installments: Half due by Dec. 20 of the tax year and the second half due by the following May 10.
If the balance is not paid in full by July 10 the Douglas County treasurer's office is required by Kansas law to publish the property on a list of delinquent properties in the local newspaper.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon was not
the only fraternity — until recently — with unpaid property taxes. The property owned by Theta Chi, 1003 Emery Rd., which Theta Chi purchased from Alpha Xi Delta within the last year, was delinquent in about $4,200 in property taxes until last weekend. The property occupied by Tau Kappa Epsilon, 1111 W. 11th St. — and owned by Delta Tau Delta — was also delinquent when Douglas County initially published its list of delinquent taxpayers.

SAFETY
Lawrence Police to increase DUI patrols for Labor Day weekend
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Labor Day weekend means a day off work and school, and more time for students to party. But the holiday weekend can also lead to more drunken driving arrests.
In an effort to curb drinking and driving accidents this holiday, the Lawrence Police Department and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office increased enforcement on city streets last weekend as part of the Special Traffic Enforcement Program.
The campaign, "You Drink. You Drive. You Lose," will last from Aug. 17 to Sept. 4. The program is part of a larger national campaign
Lawrence police are always on the watch for seat-belt violations, child safety seats and speed, but he focus of this Labor Days campaign will be DUIs.
— "Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest." — started by the U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
As part of the campaign, Lawrence police will be doing saturation patrols, meaning more police on the streets and more check points.
Kim Murphree, spokeswoman for the Lawrence Police Department, said Lawrence police conducted a saturation patrol on Aug. 19 from 5 to 11 p.m. Out of 80 vehicles stopped, one DUI arrest was made. On Sunday, Aug. 20, a sobriety check lane was enforced from midnight to 3 a.m. Out of 90 vehicles stopped, one DUI arrest was made.
Steve Halbett, program consultant for the Kansas Department of Transportation said there were five national campaigns each year that were mostly linked to holidays. States have leeway in conducting the campaigns, but two are mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: Memorial Day and Labor Day.
For KU officers, holidays mean a decreased population around campus. But that doesn't stop officers from making drunken driving
The $11 million national media and enforcement campaign has begun airing radio, TV and online ads in English and Spanish. The target audience is males aged 21 to 34, the portion of the population that is most likely to drive drunkenly.
arrests throughout the year. In 2005 they made 63 arrests.
Douglas County Sheriff's Office Lt. Doug Woods said he hoped the advertising encourage people not to drive drunk. According to new 2005 data released last week by the U.S. Department of Transportation, male drivers aged 21 to 34 make up 33 percent of fatal alcohol-related crashes. Males aged 35 to 44 make up 25 percent. The study also reported that nationwide, 16,885 people died as a result of alcohol-related accidents.

Priest gets parking ticket while visiting sick woman
NEW YORK — A mission of mercy at a hospital turned costly for a priest who violated a city commandment: Thou shalt not park illegally.
The Rev. Cletus Forson, of St. Andrew the Apostle Church in Brooklyn, was ticketed last month when he responded to an emergency call from a parishioner afraid her mother would die without receiving the sacrament of the sick.
Forson is now protesting the $115 parking ticket, although city officials seem unlikely to absolve him.
"On humanitarian grounds, the law should not be interpreted and applied so stringently that it will prohibit a religious leader from doing his work" the priest said.
Forson said he knew the spot was illegal but he didn't have time to look for a legal spot. He placed his clergy parking permit on the dashboard and went in.
VIENNA, Austria — A man mistook a government building in southern Austria for a bank and tried to rob it, police said.

The man fled the building after a woman he allegedly threatened with an air gun told him she had no money and that he had made a mistake, Klammer said.
"She was driving around town and she was hearing something meowing," Hodes said of the driver, whose name was not released.
The woman said she had left her car windows open because of the warm weather, and that's when the stray, a gray tabby, sneaked inside.
McDonald helped dislodge the female kitten with the help of Steven Hodes, a veterinarian.
McDonald was able to hold the cat's foot while Hodes slipped a needle into the limb and injected the kitten with ketamine, an anesthesia that made the feline drowsy. He then lifted her to freedom.

Steinbach had been using a mower since the state took away his driver's license two years ago for health reasons. He'd been making trips to the supermarket, hardware store and City Hall.
An anonymous woman donated a motorized scooter Tuesday to Benjamin Steinbach, which prompted this response: "Gee, I got to learn to drive all over again."
But, after hearing about Steinbach's treks, Cedarburg Police Chief Tom Frank noted that state law allowed only motorized scooters, wheelchairs and Segways on sidewalks.
Carol LaFontaine, director of the Cedarburg Senior Center, said the mysterious donor contacted the center after reading about Steinbach and offered the scooter.
"It had been purchased for the woman's mother, but the mother barely used it," LaFontaine said. "The donor felt that, if someone could benefit from it, it was better that the scooter be used."
The police chief said Steinbach could drive the scooter on the sidewalk.
"I'm happy for him," the chief said.

PARKING DEPARTMENT
Students abuse reserved parking
Department continues to tame students' misuse of permits
PARKING LOT FOR VEHICLES ONLY
Photo illustration by Ryan McGoeenyKANSAN
BY MARK VIERTHALER
Sitting in her traffic control booth at the corner of Sunflower Road and Memorial Drive, Joyce Bledsoe has seen her share of students trying to sneak vehicles onto campus.
In the six years she has staffed her post, one of the most common tricks has been students illegally trying to use disabled placards to gain access to close parking spots.
Jake Preston, assistant director of financial aid and a wheelchair user, and his wife Stephanie, administrative assistant for disability resources, said they often ended up scrounging to find disabled parking spots during the school day.
"It's frustrating, because we can't just park anywhere," Stephanie said. "When the parking spots are full, we can't go to work or class."
The inconvenience occurs regularly. Jake said.
Each traffic control booth attendant is required to check the dates of disabled placards as they come onto campus, Bledsoe said.
The Parking Department also conducts random identification checks, often catching students misusing disabled parking placards.
"Just a few weeks ago I stopped one lady," Bledsoe said. "She was using her mother's sticker. However, her mother wasn't with her."
Bledsoe said she had no choice but to deny the woman access to the core of campus.
According to the Parking Department, all cars licensed with disabled placards are required to register with the department and provide documentation proving ownership of the vehicle.
Donna Hultine, director of Parking Services, said until recently, the University had not taken steps to curb the illegal use of placards.
New procedures require booth attendants to check the validity of
every disabled parking placard. The department has also increased vigilance for repeat offenders.
If a student is caught with an altered or stolen placard, the Lawrence Police Department is notified. Students misrepresenting ownership can lose all on-campu
leges for a year.
Placard registration has helped protect the few spaces that are available on campus, Hultine said. Disabled people are also able to use University parking permits in conjunction with the placard to park in any available spot on campus.
"It is frustrating because we can't just park anywhere. When the parking spots are full, we can't go to work or class."

Institute brings Chinese home
Kansans to gain perspective on increasingly global language
BY DANNY LUPPINO
The new Confucius Institute at the University of Kansas began bringing Chinese language and culture to Kansas on Monday when the first Mandarin Chinese classes began for high school students across the state.
two sections of the year-long class will teach select students from Free State High School in person, while others from Maize, Holcomb, Deerfield, Washburn Rural, Marysville and Winfield will use video-conferencing equipment to connect to the classroom in JRP Hall, west of Memorial Stadium. The high-school classes are a prelude to others that will be available to the general public Sept. 12.

Fund established to reward internationalism

Woodyard International Educator Award aims to encourage further faculty innovations
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Woodyard, professor emeritus of Spanish & Portuguese, and his wife Eleanor donated $25,000 to create an award that will recognize faculty members who have made exceptional efforts to further international education at the University.
International programs at the University of Kansas recently received a bit of a boost, courtesy of George Woodyard, appointed as the University's first dean of international studies in 1989.
Beginning fall 2007, the George and Eleanor Woodyard International Educator Award will reward a faculty member with a
$1,000 prize. The cash award will be given to faculty members without any restrictions for its use.
"We hope it will encourage people to work with study abroad programs and conduct more research in overseas programs," Woodyard said. "If faculty members are more connected to international programs, it will also move down to benefit the students."
Diana Carlin, dean of the graduate school and international programs, said the award should encourage faculty members to help prepare students for a global world.
"When they know their international efforts are being recognized,
they might push harder to include international issues and ideas into their curriculum," Carlin said.
The donated money will be put into an endowment; the award money will come from the interest gathered on the primary sum.
Carlin said faculty members could be nominated by students and other faculty members. A panel will choose the winner based on their efforts in research, classes and participation in international programs, she said.
woodyard said his donation stemmed from his own experiences with globalization at the University. Woodyard's involvement in international programs spanned 12 of
his 40 years at the University, during which he established overseas alumni chapters and overseas programs for medical students. He still acts as editor of an academic journal for the Latin American theater.
Carlin said applications for the award would be available from the Office of International Programs in April.

Karr family offers to sell book, movie rights
Family hopes their story will pay for Karr's defense lawyer and college education for his sons
BY LINDA DEUTSCH
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — John Mark Karr's relatives offered up the book and film rights to the family's story Wednesday in hopes of raising money for a high-powered attorney to defend Karr against charges that he killed 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey.
"They're not looking for money for themselves," said Larry Garrison, a producer the family hired to represent them in media deals. "They're looking to support John's boys' college education and to make sure all legal fees are covered."
Karr remained in a Los Angeles
jail Wednesday afternoon awaiting transfer to Colorado, where JonBenet was killed in her Boulder home in December 1996.
Garrison told The Associated Press that no money had changed hands yet with the Karrs, and he didn't want to go into details about the agreement. Karr's brother, Nate Karr, confirmed that Garrison is now representing the family.
Karr told reporters in Thailand last week that he was present when JonBenet died and that her death was an accident. He did not specifically say he killed her, and Boulder prosecutors have not disclosed their evidence against him.
His family has insisted Karr was in Georgia during the Christmas
week that JonBenet was killed.
Georgia attorney Gary Harris, who had represented Karr's father and brother in recent days, has said the family found a photo from Christmas 1996 showing Karr's three sons at a dinner in Atlanta. Karr is not in the photo, but the family insists that if the boys were there, Karr would have been too.
"John Karr wasn't working,
Harris said. "He couldn't afford to buy a MARTA (Atlanta public transportation) or bus ticket, much less plane fare to Colorado."
A family photo has been turned over to Boulder authorities, but Garrison could not say what it shows.
"I can tell you they proclaim his
innocence," Garrison said. "They feel he was not there at the time, that some of the statements made by the press are absurd."
Harris told the AP on Wednesday that as far as the family knows, the only time Karr was ever in Colorado was in 2001 when his car broke down on a trip from Alabama to California with his then-wife and children. He said the family got the car fixed and moved on.
Harris said he thinks Karr claimed involvement in JonBenet's death because he is ill.
"Obviously, this guy has some mental problems," he said. "He obviously has some emotional problems. He's always had some."

It is the latest in a string of data thefts and security breaches affecting more than a half-dozen federal agencies in recent months.
Education Department officials blamed the breach on a routine
software upgrade, conducted by Dallas-based contractor Affiliated Computers Services Inc., that mixed up data for different borrowers when users accessed the Web site. Since Sunday, 26 borrowers have complained.
"We're not pleased and we take this incident very seriously," Shaw said. "We've asked ACS to determine how this glitch was missed in the testing process so we can make sure we fill that gap."
She said the people affected will be contacted by the department by letter and offered free credit monitoring by ACS.
A message left with the company was not immediately returned Wednesday.
The Web site program includes names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, addresses, phone numbers and in some cases
account information for holders of federal direct student loans. It does not involve those who have loans managed through private companies.
Shaw said personal data may have been inadvertently mixed up if different users logged on at roughly the same time and performed the same Web site function, such as updating a home address. The department determined that less than one-half of 1 percent of the 6.4 million total borrowers — or roughly 21,000 — had logged on to the Web site between Sunday and Tuesday.
The department has disabled the malfunctioning parts of the Web program and will not turn them back on until the problem is fixed. During that time, certain portions of the student loan Web site may not be accessed.
BOARDS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
beginning to brew.
begining to attend According to NCAA's bylaw 13 on recruiting, it's illegal for "athetic representatives" to try to persuade a recruit to attend their school. An "athetic representative" includes almost all fans.
If a fan is a booster, season-ticket holder or has contributed to the athletics department at any time, that person is considered an "athletic representative." Becker said even students are technically considered "athletic representatives."
Since athletics director Lew Perkins arrived in June 2003, Kansas has revamped its compliance staff to avoid future infractions like Davis' improper benefits to Jackson. Now the Internet makes it more difficult for the department to monitor such activity in the virtual world.
"It's just impossible," said associate athletics director for compliance Theresa Becker. "It's a tough challenge. You rely on a strong educational effort to inform people what they can and cannot do and
When fans take recruiting into their own hands by trying to convince a player to attend their university, it's the institution's responsibility to investigate and report the infraction to the NCAA. Whether it's a booster giving a recruit a ride to a game — which Davis did for Jackson — or even students bumping into a recruit on the street and giving their recruiting pitch, it's against NCAA regulations.
But how is the NCAA or the University supposed to monitor fans' activity?
"The NCAA doesn't tell us what to monitor or how to monitor," Becker said. "We create our own forms. We create our own policies. We create our own systems. The NCAA doesn't come in and tell us how to run our shop."
job of monitoring its fans, as was the case with Davis, which helped lead to the alleged lack of institutional control of the KU Athletics Department. The University is taking steps to make sure Kansas boosters and fans know the rules.
The Athletics Department sends an annual brochure to boosters outlining rules that boosters should be aware of. Becker was hired last November, and in June, the Athletics Department hired Kristine Fowler to be the education coordinator for the compliance department. Fowler, who came from the University of Miami, is in charge of educating coaches and fans. She is trying to get the message out by other means like television and radio spots and public service announcements during games.

"It's all about staff," Gaudreau said, adding that it could make or break a bar.
"If employees have fun, patrons have fun," he said.
Woodring also said that his employees were the key to operating a successful bar and that their attitudes played a large role.
Tanner's Bar and Grill, 1540 Wakarusa Dr., closed during the summer. Zig and Mac's, a sports bar and grill, is tentatively scheduled to open in that location during the second week in September, Brad Ziegler, the bar's owner, said.
Quinton's Bar and Deli owner Steve Gaudreau will open The Bar tonight at 8 in the space where The Mad Hatter used to be. Gaudreau said The Bar would be slightly different from Quinton's and would compliment it nicely.
Kansan staff writer Jack Weinstein can be contacted at jweinstein@kansan.com.
"The closer you are to your competition, it helps." Woodring said referring to the proximity of The Hawk and The Wheel. "We feed off each other. Chances are if you go to one, you'll go to the others in the neighborhood."

It's splitsville
for Cruise, Paramount
LOS ANGELES — While the messy divorce between Tom Cruise and Paramount Pictures won't sink Cruise's career, it still points to a sea change in an industry that has tolerated celebrity misdeeds as long as they didn't hurt the bottom line.
The 14-year relationship between Cruise and Paramount exploded Tuesday after Sumner
Redstone, chairman of Paramount parent Viacom Inc., said Cruise's recent behavior, such as jumping on Oprah Winfrey's couch and advocating Scientology, was "creative suicide." Redstone said such displays cost the studio $150 million in lost ticket sales for Cruise's last film. "Mission: Impossible III."
Redstone may have been basing some of his reaction on the fact that negative public perception of Cruise has soared in the past six months. The negative perception
"He's definitely at his low point in terms of consumer appeal, among both males and females," said Henry Schafer of Marketing Evaluations Inc.
of Cruise jumped nearly 100 percent since mid-2005, while positive perception fell 40 percent.
Whether that means moviegoers are spurning his films is a different matter, says film producer Peter Guber, who worked with Cruise in several movies.

OUR VIEW
Keep 'Jericho' out of North Lawrence
Do you want people to think you're silly?
Dear Jericho (aka North Lawrence):
As if poor ol' Kansas isn't the butt of enough jokes from those snobby East and West Coasters
— with the whole evolution thing — you have to pull a publicity stunt like this.
North Lawrence could change its name to "Jericho" for up to a week in September to coincide with the premiere of a CBS show about the fictional Kansas town of Jericho after a nuclear explosion.
Whopope! The dadgum governor might even attend.
And why?
One Lawrence resident said in the article that he hoped the event would make "folks from the coasts" want to shoot movies and TV shows in Lawrence. Another said the stunt could "help put North Lawrence on the map."
Just whose map are we talk
ing about? The people who keep maps of places that have pulled publicity stunts for TV shows? Yes, North Lawrence could be there right next to Truth or Consequences, N.M., (formerly Hot Springs), which changed its name in a contest held by the "Truth or Consequences" game show in 1950 (the first town to adopt the name got to host the show).
OK, so this name change is not official and only temporary. But do you really want people to start associating you with a TV show? Have you thought about how annoying that could be?
Kansas already suffers from "Wizard of Oz" syndrome. You know when you're outside the state and someone asks you, "How's Toto?"
You don't want it to be, "How's Jericho?" or "How's the nuclear fallout?" Do you?

COMMENTARY
Eat right, stay healthy
The beginning of the school year gives us just about every reason to celebrate, party and socialize. At such a large university there is always something to do, and it often includes eating unhealthy food. These little allowances add up
- pizza here, donuts there. French fries. Frosties. Five jumbo margaritas from El Mezcal later, you start to worry you might gain the infamous freshman 15.
BY ARRY CARTER
I don't know one person in college who wants to gain weight (unless it's a guy who wants to put on muscle, and, if that is the case, McDonald's is still not the answer). The habits that start to form when you give in to the late-night pizza ordering and ice cream are only going to make the numbers on the scale head in a scary direction. The start of the semester is when you establish your habits for the rest of the year. No one expects college students to give up pizza or beer just to keep their figure, but if you give in every day, beer and pizza will become your lifestyle. Stubborn fat will become the third wheel, tagging along to your hips, thighs and new-found beer belly.
Many people think alcohol is the cause for college weight gain, but it's usually the substances that go in after the alcohol that make the biggest impact. Binge eating (also known as drunk eating) gets more action than the rec center. It is startling to see how many calories and how much fat are in many foods popular among college students. According to www.nutritiondata.com, a McDonald's quarter - pound meal (a burger, fries and a Coke) has a jaw-dropping 1382 calories. If you choose to supersize the meal (which many people do in their mind-altered states), it now has 1550 calories. A nachos bell grande from Taco Bell packs

KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
in 810 calories and 48 grams of fat, and is only listed as a "side item." A medium-sized peanut butter ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery has 727 calories and 46 grams of fat. Just two pieces of pepperoni pizza from Domino's have 531 calories. And who stops at just two?
With the consumption of such ridiculously fattening foods, it's a wonder not everyone on campus is obese. But, it's easy to see how the freshman 15 creeps up and suddenly turns into the sophomore 30, and so on. It's unrealistic to forbid yourself to never eat pizza or fast food, but if you want to be realistic about your weight, you need to set rules now rather than later. If you drink alcohol and know that you're going to want to eat at night, think before you drink. Be ready with healthier options so you don't end up inhaling your whole day's caloric intake at two in the morning. Either pack a snack, such as an energy bar or a handful of nuts, and eat a frozen dinner when you come home from the bars. If you're going to continue eating things like pizza and Taco Bell, set a limit and stop after that. You'll be glad the next day when you don't feel like a bloated blob of fat. More importantly, you'll be happy at the end of the year when you didn't become another casualty of the freshman 15

Sprint settles, but so do their customers
COMMENTARY
Sprint could profit more from customers thanks to a class action settlement regarding years of alleged overcharges.
The combined Benney/Lundberg lawsuits alleged that Sprint was "unjustly enriched" by charges for "Directory Assistance Calls" and "Regulatory Fees", according to the settlement summary mailed to class members.
Also according to the summary, "Sprint is not admitting any liability or that it did anything wrong" by settling.
A. J.
Beyond failing to determine whether Sprint acted fraudulently, the settlement benefits Sprint because the two best options require two years of wireless service or a new two-year contract.
Full disclosure: I am a Sprint wireless customer and a class action member, but I am not pursuing any of the benefits offered by the settlement.
About 40 million phone lines are eligible for benefits, said Charlie Speer, class counsel and KU graduate. Current and former customers can choose from several settlement options, ranging from a maximum of $26 in quarterly invoice credits
BY COURTNEY FARR
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINIONKANSAN.COM
over two years to a minimum of a $1.50 Sprint long distance phone card. One option requires a new two-year contract for an immediate invoice credit.
The two-year requirements in the settlement may represent considerable savings and revenue for Sprint.
Sprint reported a customer acquisition cost ranging from $305 to $465 per new subscriber, according to quarterly filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission from 2001 to 2003. Sprint has not reported this figure in more recent years, said David Gunasegaram, a Sprint spokesman.
Gunasegaram repeatedly said he didn't understand how I could compare the settlement figures to acquisition figures. He said it was like comparing "apples and oranges."
Some might not see the numbers as related.
However, the acquisition figures show Sprint was willing to pay hundreds of dollars to earn a new subscriber.
Thanks to the settlement, Sprint can accomplish a similar result by recapturing lost customers and keeping current subscribers for two more years at a small fraction of the cost of acquiring a new customer.
Also, according to Sprint's second quarter SEC filing from this year, the average monthly revenue per user was $62. That means for a two-year term, Sprint could pay $26 or less for a possible revenue of more than $1,400. Those look like benefits to me.
The lack of a cash option in this settlement moves the benefit toward Sprint and away from the class. The phone card is the only choice that doesn't require wireless service, but it's still not as usefull as cash.
Speer said the settlement was a better deal than if a cash settlement
had been included.
"Cash is dear, of course, and companies are always trying to maximize the benefits to the class while trying to negotiate the least possible actual cost," Speer said.
Class action lawsuits serve a valuable service to our legal system. They allow many wronged individuals to band together, which increases the force of their claims and frees court resources. In a case like this, the alleged damages per customer were too small for most to sue on their own, Speer said.
Those damages could be less than $10 per phone line, Speer said.
Suits can also affect companies' policies and actions. Sprint adopted simpler and easier-to-read statements after these class actions were filed, Speer said.
For all the value such lawsuits have though, class members should be well aware not only of the benefits they might receive, but also how the suit might benefit the company being sued.
In this case, the apparent benefit to Sprint far outweighs the small benefit to customers.

TALIB (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
Talib said Kansas special teams coordinator and cornerbacks coach Earnest Collins ultimately convinced him to join the Jayhawks because of his honesty with Talib in how he would be used.
"We didn't make the playoffs until my senior year and then we got put out in the first round of the playoffs," he said. "I feel like I didn't get as much exposure as other people did in high school, so I may have got overlooked."
received little interest from Division I football programs. His visit to the University of Kansas was one of only two visits he made. The other was at the University of Wyoming. Nevertheless, Talib understood why more schools didn't show interest.
Aqib's cameo
Coaches had a feeling Talib would some day make an impact for the Kansas defense, but coach Mark Mangino said they just didn't think it would be at cornerback.

The big-time football programs may not have noticed Talib, but the makers of the movie "Friday Night Lights" did.

playoffs, and Talib appears in the scene. However, it isn't exactly the highlight of his high-school career.
On the heels of cornerback Charles Gordon's departure from the team, Talib is the new number-one reason quarterbacks should fear the Kansas secondary.
This year, Talib has already been named preseason first team All-Big 12 by conference media and is on the preseason watch list for the Bronko Nagurski award, which honors the best defensive player in the country.
Turning heads
"They showed me getting beat in the movie because they've got to show Carter's good plays," Talib said of a scene that shows Carter beating Berkner. "It was a real clip of our real playoff game we played against Carter."
"He started at safety, but has such pure coverage ability that we moved him to corner and he has come along nicely." Mangino said. "He is really starting to grasp things and get comfortable at the cornerback position."
Kansan sportswriter Shawn Shroyer can be contacted at sshroyer@kansan.com.
Talib, now a sophomore, started nine games last year as a redshirt freshman, intercepted two passes and led the team with eight pass breakups. He was recognized by Rivals, com, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and The Sporting News as one of the top freshmen in the nation.
When talking about Bueltel's talent, Talib said that Bueltel would be sitting right beside him next year getting all the media attention.
Talib and his NFL intentions.

"My college career is not done yet."
If anything can be read into his comments about fellow cornerback, junior Blake Buelt, Talib will still be donning the crimson and blue in 2007.
"I want to play in a BCS bowl and get that experience before I experience an NFL game, and I feel like it's not complete yet," he said.
Talib also addressed his professional aspirations directly. Whether his name and his abilities will be up for grabs in the NFL Draft next spring will depend on Kansas' success this season.

PHILLIPS (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
This wasn't a half-paced scrimimage, either. Meier has a strong arm, and the defenders used impressive timing to knock down the passes that were floated in toward them.
PESSIMIST: It may not have been a half-paced scrimmage, but it was played on a 15-yard field. As soon as the whole field was opened up, Barmann connected with junior wide receiver Jeff Foster for a long gain.
It's too much to expect the Kansas safeties to learn their assignments while also dealing with
injuries to key players like Jerome Kemp. A good safety unit is exactly that: The teammates play together and know exactly where each other will be at all times.
OPTIMIST: Freshman Angus Quigley will be missed at the running back position, but junior Brandon McAnderson has the tools to fill in for him quite nicely, especially on third downs. Running out of a formation with McAnderson and four receivers, he was able to block for the quarterback long enough to allow three receivers to
get looks, which keeps the whole field in play.
As soon as Cornish leaves the game, defenses will begin to focus their efforts on getting to the quarterback. McAnderson is a good football player, but in a system that looks like it will often have three receivers with tight end Derek Fine,
PESSIMIST: Like many positions on the field, running back will hinge on nothing happening to the starter. Senior Jon Cornish is the Kansas running game and will be counted on to take the pressure off of Meier.
he will be asked to do more than he is capable of.

Baylor coach Guy Morriss watches his team turn over on downs during the fourth quarter of a football game against Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla., Saturday, Nov. 13, 2004. Morriss has been trying to change tactics since he got to Baylor: Personnel, attitudes, perceptions and the outcome of the games.
Bears' goal: The Fiesta Bowl Big 12 South cellar-dweller makes changes to improve
BY SHAWN SHROYER
It's not easy coaching football at Baylor.
Morriss said he would be disappointed with anything less than a bowl appearance. Senior cornerback
"Kind of PO'ed, to be honest with you," Morriss said at the Big 12 Media Days, in front of the very men and women who made the prediction. "Everybody is entitled to their opinion. I don't think we'll end up in the cellar."
So coming off a season where Baylor had its most victories since 1995, it's understandable that coach Guy Morriss didn't appreciate the media picking his Bears to return to the bottom of the South.
The program hasn't had a winning season, won more than two conference games or finished better than fifth while a member of the skate Big 12 South.
C. J. Wilson took it a step further.
"Tell coach he's wrong," Wilson said. "The National Championship is the thing. You don't come to college to get a fourth of an education. You
want a degree,
right? That's what we want.
Let me get the big game. If I can't get the big game, what's the point in me coming to your school?"
This abandonment of the losing mentality that has surrounded Baylor for the last decade could be what the program needs to get back to post-season play. Of course, Baylor will also need play-

tions of two cornerbacks and a free safety are the "outside safety" and "rover" spots, which should help Baylor cover more ground in the secondary but may hurt its run
ers to thrive in its unconventional schemes.
Baylor will run an offense similar to that of Texas Tech. The term "tight end" has been done away with and relabeled "inside receiver." At times, Baylor will have one running back and four receivers, but other times, senior quarterback Shawn Bell will have five receivers spread across the field.
"It's ridiculously simple. I think that's why everybody that's used it has had pretty quick success with it," Morriss said. "Once we implemented it at Kentucky, I just became a cheerleader. You just rep the same plays over and over and over and over and over and show them different looks."
The offense may seem complicated, but Morris said it looked harder than it actually was and worked because it confused defenses.
With seven returning starters in a simple offense, Baylor could run up and down the field much the same way Texas Tech does.
Seniors Trent Shelton and Dominique Zeigler highlight the list of receivers. The two combined for more than 1,000 yards and six touchdowns in 2005.
On defense, the Bears run a fourlinemen, two-linebacker front, but have a unique secondary alignment. In addition to the traditional posi-
defense.
The defense only returns four starters, but two are in the secondary and should join forces with newcomer Brandon Stiggers to challenge opposing quarterbacks.

Wilson and fellow senior linebacker Anthony Arline combined for 69 tackles and eight interceptions in 20 combined starts last year. Stiggers, junior rover, joins the Baylor secondary after a suc-
The Bears will also try to get a leg up on the competition with special teams. All-American senior punter Daniel Sepulveda averaged 46.18 yards per punt last season, the second best in school history. Although he suffered a torn ACL last spring, Sepulveda said he planned to play in Baylor's first game this season.
"I didn't think he could do it," Morriss said. "But he is the kind of guy that will make a believer out of you in a hurry."
Sepulveda's ability to give opponents a longer field should help the young defense. Sepulveda's return from such a serious injury may serve as a sign of good things to come for a program that has endured much hardship. And if the Bears do reach postseason play, maybe then they will convince the media Baylor deserves respect.
"You can't control what people say," Wilson said. "You're not responsible for people's habits, but you can dang sure break 'em."

MU captain returns Receiver back at practice after surgery
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Missouri wide receiver Brad Ekwerewku is back on the practice field, six weeks after an emergency appendectomy.
"I'm too anxious to stand around anymore," Ekwerekwu said Tuesday. "I'm trying to get out there and get more involved. It got boring."
Last month, the senior from Arlington, Texas, felt a sharp pain in his right side after returning home from church. He tried to sleep that night, but when the pain was there in the morning, he went to the hospital.
Ekwerekwu said his appendix didn't burst, but "we were racing against that."
When the Tigers opened preseason camp on Aug. 5, Ekwerekwu wore a solid red jersey, meaning he was not to participate in any drills.
He wasn't sure when hed be ready to return.
"They told me regular recovery time for average Joe Citizen is six to eight weeks, and this is the sixth
week," he said. His first practice was Sunday.
Ekwerekwu, who caught 32 passes for 282 yards last season, said the wide is still a little sore. Still, he's happy to be back.
Junior Will Franklin and Ekwerekwu are the only two wide receivers on the roster to have caught more than 45 career passes.
"He just needs more work," Pinkel said of Ekwerekwu. "From a cardio standpoint he's behind."
Coach Gary Pinkel is happy he's back, too, considering how inexperienced the rest of the receivers are.
Receivers coach Andy Hill said although Ekwerekwu wasn't practicing he played a vital role the first two weeks of practice by helping the younger receivers learn routes and other aspects of the position — something Ekwerekwu said was part of his duties as a team captain.
"That's the advantage of Ek having experience. He can go out there and actually be a coach on the field," Hill said. "Thomson Omboga has done it, Sean Coffey has done it, now it's Ek's turn."

Injuries a bump in the road to season goals
Despite the loss of Preseason Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, leadership still a dominant quality
BY JEFF DETERS
Facing the KU alumni on Saturday, Correa played in her first game since the injury, and though it was just an exhibition, Correa said it was a good way for her to get back into game action before heading into the Crimson Tide Invitational.
Senior outside hitter Jana Correa suffered season-ending injuries in both her freshman and junior seasons, and following a torn ACL last October, she thought her career was finished.
"Last year when I got hurt I just thought 'Oh, I'll never play again,' Correa said. "So just having the chance to play one more season, I'm really happy."
"Our goal is to win the tournament. We
But the Jawhacks will have to overcome the loss of Big 12 Pre-season Newcomer of the Year Natalie Uhart, who is out for the season after injuring her knee during the alumni game.
expect to win," she said.
The injury came when Uhart struck referee's stand during the KU alumni game.
Though the effect caused by the loss of Uhart will be large, Correa said it has brought the team even closer.
the team even "Our team, I think it's even tighter right now just because we know that we lost a huge player," she said.
Correia has been talking to Uhart and encouraging her to keep her spirits high.
"I've been there. I told her you need to be strong, and it sucks," Correa said, referring to
the difficulties of being on crutches, wearing a brace and the months of rehab.
Correa said she felt additional responsibility to help make up for the loss of Uhart. But taking a leadership role is nothing new for Correa or junior Emily Brown, opposite hitter/setter.
"Now the pressure is even bigger for me and Emily and all the seniors, just because we need to step up and fill up the spot for her," Correa said.
Coach Ray Bechard is counting on them to lead the jayhawks back to the NCAA Tournament this season.
He said they have played at a high level, been a part of some of the biggest wins in the program's history and have a concept of what it takes to get to the NCAA Tournament
because they've been there before.
"I think they will be counted on heavily not only from a statistical standpoint, but from a standpoint of 'Here's how we need to do business here at Kansas to make this happen,'" Bechard said.
The team's task begins Friday when the Jayhawks play Alabama A&M. And if Correa's senior season is derailed by injuries, she will still lead the Jayhawks in any way she can.
"I've been in this position before," Correa said. "I'm excited to help this team as much as I can."

>> WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Former Kansas linebacker dreams of a call on NFL draft day
Playing arena ball poor substitute for big-time career
BY BRYAN CISLER
Back in 2002, before the bowl games, the torn-down goalposts and the attendance records, KU football fans saw nothing but trouble when Kansas finished 2-10 with no conference wins.
Freshmen, and future standout linebackers, Nick Reid, Brandon Perkins and Kevin Kane were struggling to understand the KU defense. Linebacker B floodman was out nursing a torn ACL.
On the other side of the ball, the first-year starter Bill Whitmore was struggling to make plays in a
depleted offense.
There were few bright spots in 2002, but one was senior linebacker Greg Cole.
While the fans were wondering what had gone wrong, Cole could already see the improvement that was made when Mark Mangino replaced former coach Terry Allen after the 2001 season.
"The entire attitude of the team changed," Cole said. "Terry Allen was a laid-back kind of guy, whereas Mangino was more of an in-your-face type of coach. We just wanted to get that winning mentality."
As captain, Cole had the responsibility to lead and mold the youngbut-talented set of linebackers. Even back then, Cole saw potential.
"I always knew those guys would be special players. I was happy for Nick Reid when he won the Big 12 defensive player of the year award,
but all those guys worked hard" he said. "They saw the positive things that were happening in the program."
Just three seasons later, those same players would lead one of Kansas' best defenses ever. In 2002, though, it was Cole who was doing most of the playmaking. Cole led the team in tackles that year with 106.
"I feel as though I have not gotten a fair shot because of the politics of the game," he said. "If you are not a big name or come from a big powerhouse football school, you are kind of left out."
Even after Cole left Kansas following the 2002 season, his passion for football never stopped. He spent time back in his hometown of Miami working as a substitute teacher at a local high school and training hard for a football comeback.
"Cole deserves to be at a higher level, but has yet to get an opportunity back up there," Richards said. "At the bare minimum Greg is a CFL-type player, he just needs to find the right scheme, and will be an asset for whatever team he plays for."
While Cole is enjoying his time with the Raptors, he wants one more shot with the NFL but thinks outside influences may limit his opportunity.
for a Roketa School.
In 2005, Cole began the next chapter of his football career by heading to Illinois to lace up his cleats for the Rock River Raptors in the startup United Indoor Football League. In their expansion season, the Raptors went 11-4 and made it all the way
to the semi-finals before falling to Lexington.
Rock River coach Rik Richards agrees.
Cole still takes time to follow the KU football team and loves the fact that Kansas got revenge on some the teams that embarrassed the Jayhawks in 2002. Cole's favorite was the 2004
K-State game, coming just two years after the Wildcats beat the Jayhawks 64-0 in Lawrence.
"It felt great to see the guys I played with finally end the streak, and to do it at home was great," he said. "I must have watched it on my computer five times. The fourth-quarter run by John Randle almost made me cry."
While the linebackers who Cole helped mentor are gone, Cole still likes the future of the team and thinks it will contend for a Big 12 title soon.
As for Cole's future, he wants to get into real estate after his playing days are through, but he isn't looking that far ahead just yet. He continues to work out, hoping to get his chance to play NFL football.

Jayhawks display ups, downs at fans' day
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
MPHILIPS@KANSAN.COM
The Kansas football team opened the doors of Memorial Stadium for fans to watch the last 30 minutes of Wednesday's open practice for its annual Fan Appreciation and Kids' Day. The event successfully served its purpose: To get people talking about the football team in advance of the season opener.
There's a lot to be excited about, but behind every hope is a fear and both optimists and pessimists will have plenty to say before the team gets the final word on the field.
OPTIMIST: Freshman quarterback Kerry Meier is the real deal. Meier has been working with the first team since spring practices and is displaying a poise rarely seen by freshman quarterbacks.
Sophomore cornerback takes spotlight
Perhaps most impressively, Meier showed a Vince Young-esque tendency to run with the football as soon as he gave his receivers a look. When defenses are caught off-guard, Meier will easily gain 10 yards with his feet. When they are anticipating the run, it should free up receivers to make big plays.
PESSIMIST: Meier's will have his lunch eaten the second he leaves the pocket. Spread offenses are now the norm in the Big 12 Conference; even Nebraska is headed in that direction.
PROFILE
3
PESSIMIST: Tight end Derek Fine summed it up nicely: "I'm hot."
Combine that with the risk of injury, and there's no reason to let Meier leave the pocket. Remember that as soon as he goes down, Adam Barmann retakes the reigns for the Jayhawks.
OPTIMIST: It may have been a hot day, but as coach Mark Mangino pointed out, "we're used to it."
OPTIMIST: The cornerbacks and safeties held their own against Kansas' impressive core of receivers.

Sophomore cornerback Agib Tallib is expected to fill the shoes vacated when Charles Gorden left the Kansas football team after his junior year in order to pursue a career in the National Football League.
Talib ready to fill shoes of departed Charles Gordon
BY SHAWN SHROYER
When Aqib Talib was born, he was given two unique gifts: His name, which brings with it questions of its origin, and his athletic ability, which brings with it attention from media and opposing offenses.
These two gifts have stayed with the sophomore cornerback as he's gone from New Jersey to Texas to Kansas; from the basketball court to the football field to the big screen; from offensive weapon to shutdown defender, and from a moderately recruited high schooler to a blip on the National Football League radar.
But it all starts with the name.
"When I was born, my parents were practicing Islam, so I have a Muslim name," Talib said of his parents, Okolo Talib and Ted Henry. "They're not really practicing it any more, but I always kept my Muslim name. I kind of like it."
The road to Kansas
Watching Talib play on Saturdays, it's hard to tell football was not his first love. Born in Trenton, N.J., Talib said nobody in the state played football. Instead, baseball and basketball were the prevalent sports. He chose basketball.
But a move to Dallas when he was in eighth grade brought him into the world of football.
"I had been playing basketball all my life, and football was just something new," Talib said. "It got me right away. I was like, that's what I want to go to college to do."
Even in his first year of football, Talib had a knack for making the big play. He said he scored eight touchdowns his first season, mainly on screen passes and kick returns.
In Texas, Talib moved back and forth between Dallas and Richardson and attended Berkner High School, where he began to focus on football.
He switched sides of the ball to defense and was a game-changer in a different capacity on special teams. As a senior, Talib intercepted three passes and blocked four kicks, garnering first team all-district, first team all-city and Berkner Defensive Back of the Year honors.
Despite his accolades, Talib

The stadium opened at 5:30 p.m. for fans to watch the final 30 minutes of the team's practice.

In an event that was high on enthusiasm but short on football, the Kansas football team hosted its annual Fan Appreciation and Kids' Day at Memorial Stadium Wednesday night.

"I'd like to thank the best band in college football, the cheerleaders, Big Jav, all the lays," he said.
Mangino also took time to publicly introduce the 2006 captains: Senior offensive lineman David Ochoa, junior tight end Derek Fine, junior defensive lineman James McClinton and sophomore linebacker Mika Rivera.

CATCH of the week
Name: Abby Stutsman, Iowa City, Iowa, senior
Major: Journalism and Sociology
What she looks for in another person: A sense of humor and someone who likes to have fun.
Favorite personal feature: Her wings (It's a tattoo on her back) and her sense of adventure.
Ideal date: Something so random that no one would ever think of it.
She's a sucker for: Pretty eyes and dimples
Hobbies: Reliving childhood pastimes
Job: She works at Victoria's Secret, but would someday love to write and illustrate children's books.
Best-yet-worst date ever: She dressed up like a troll doll one Halloween. The next day she had to have the guy she was supposed to go on a date with take her to Wal-mart to get WD-40 to take the glue out of her hair so it would lie flat again.
SCHMIDT
What her friends say: "No matter what, you can't be in a bad mood around Abby. You will never predict the bizarre, funny, hysterical, catastrophic, ridiculous thing that she'll do," says Kerry Amos, Leawood junior."She likes to be a part of a world like none anyone else knows."

Please send your questions and concerns to bitch@kansan.com
I'M REALLY HORNY. REALLY HORNY. IS THERE SOME WAY I CAN FIND A WOMAN TO HAVE SEX WITH, WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT, GETTING DRUNK OR HAVING A RELATIONSHIP?
Niloofar: Yeah. You're horny.
REALLY HORNY. You and just about 28,000 other people on campus. But, as a love-seeking lady myself, I'm a bit disturbed that you want to avoid qualifier number three. I think you'll find that in the long run, you'll be much more gratified and satisfied in a meaningful relationship. Is there really any better feeling than knowing there's a nice girl — with a first and last name — ready and waiting, whenever you've got the urge? Then again, you are a freshman and maybe not ready for something serious. So
in the meantime, lady's night is tonight and every Thursday, at Liquid, 806.W.24th St., and it's 18 and over, which means lots of freshmen. And lots of ladies. While you're grinding up against a few booties to 50 Cent, you can try to get a few numbers and maybe some play. And if that doesn't work, there's always Priscilla's, right across the street.
CODY, FRESHMAN
Chris: You're facing a tall task. Money, booze and love are the three most effective means of sexual conquest available to the modern male. I'll assume you're not exceptionally good-
looking, so you're facing an uphill battle in the pursuit of pro bono boning. Faced with these daunting restrictions, I am forced to recommend dancing. There's something about rhythmic body movements combined with a healthy dose of genital grinding that can turn Quasimodo into Casanova in the time it takes Pharrell to tell us to "Take It Off." Dancing will also eliminate much of the need for talking, which is good for you and, judging by the depths of your desperation, good for your unfortunate prey as well.
I'VE BEEN HERE FOR TWO YEARS AND HAVE NOT DATED A GIRL. I USED TO HIDE UNDER THE FACT THAT I WAS ALWAYS BUSY, TOO INVOLVED OR JUST DIDN'T WANT A GIRLFRIEND. I LOVE GOING OUT, BEING CRAZY AND MEETING GIRLS, BUT I ALWAYS GET PUT IN THAT "FRIENDS" CATEGORY EVEN AT THE GREEK LEVEL, TIME IS RUNNING OUT, AND I FEAR THAT EVENTUALLY I WILL LOSE MY COMPASSION AND ABILITY TO LOVE. HELP!
Chris: It sounds like your compassion and ability to love is probably what's getting you put in that "friends" category. I mean, you've tried being nice. Hell, you've tried going Greek. If a social system that's set up for young men to "date" young women isn't working for you, then what possibly could? It's time for you to accept cold, harsh reality and stop delaying the inevitable. Losing hope could be the best thing to ever happen to you. It will foster the contempt and simmering anger needed to ensure you never get placed in that "friends" category again. It
will dull the stabbing pain of the eventual heartbreak and make your first few divorces that much easier to drink away. Plus, being a miserable bastard might just give you the "bad boy" appeal that women our age are so disgustingly drawn to. Best of luck, man, because you need it.
Niloofar: In a soccer game, would the trailing team give up at half time? No. You're only a junior, and that means this week marks the beginning of the second half. And you're going to win this thing. In life, we attract what we ARE. So if you are struggling, you will attract
MIKE, JUNIOR
situations that will cause you to struggle even more. So stop trying so hard! Like they say, if you chase a butterfly you'll never catch it, but if you stand still, it'll eventually land on your shoulder. I'm not suggesting you sit on your ass in the corner of your dark apartment, because, the truth is, that despite our brazen feminism, most women still want a man to do the initiating when it comes to dating. Put yourself out there. Remember, in a world where Billy Bob Thornton can marry Angelina Jolie, a compassionate young man like yourself can find a girl in college.

BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO break-up and the make-up: why some
LE FILM "LES MARCOTS" (1973)
The break-up and the make-up: why some couples just can't get it together
It's been 10 whirlwind years since Dallas Clow and his onagain-off-again girlfriend, Lauren Richards, met. Their time together has been sporadic and confusing, but there has always been something special between them, Clow says.
Clow and Richards, KU alumni,
reached their romance in

fear or loneliness.
PEOPLE OFTEN GAIN PERSPECTIVE AND DISTANCE FROM THE RELATIONSHIP AFTER THEY SEPARATE, WHICH HELPS THEM SEE MISTAKES AND WAYS TO FIX THEM. — PAMELA J. BOTTS, INTERIM DIRECTOR OF KU COUNSELING AND PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
But couples break up and make up for reasons beyond the co-dependency issue, says Pamela J. Botts, Interim director of KU Counseling and Psychological Services. People are typically attracted to each other because of common interests on the surface she says. Over time, although
and get away for a while, Clow says.Clow and Richards continued a long-distance relationship until the summer of 1997, when Richards started dating someone else in Lawrence: break-up number one. The couple has reconvened and gone through the cycle several times since. After knowing each other and dating off-and-on for 10 years — six of which were consecutive years apart — the couple is back together and again maintaining a long-distance relationship.
It's easy to assume that couples that hop on the break-up/make-up carousel have revived their tumultuous relationships out of
they appreciate certain qualities about each other, they notice other aspects that just don't work out and therefore end the relationship, she says.
Breaking up can sometimes shed some light on a relationship. People often
gain perspective and distance from the relationship after they separate, which helps them see mistakes and ways to fix them, Botts says. This can essentially lead them back into the relationship.
Emily Hampton, Lawrence senior, has had a hard time finalizing a break-up in the past year. She fell in love with her best friend — now on-again/off-again boyfriend — one year ago. They have broken up several times, but she just can't seem to let go.
"I guess there's just a dreamy part of me that thinks when you fall in love you are supposed to try and make it happen," she says.
"That should be the person you are with forever."
Because she's in love with her best friend, it's hard to move on. Hampton says. She believes that once you have a passionate and intimate connection with someone who means the world to you, it's hard to imagine experiencing that with someone
else, she says. Although she has tried to date other dateable and up-to-par fellows, she says that it is just not the same. A concoction of friendship and passion always leads her back to her ex, even though she knows that it's best for her to move on, Hampton says. it's not that she thinks she can't or won't fall in love with
someone else again. She knows it's possible.
So whether you're riding the make-up/break-up carousel yourself or watching a friend go around and around, take a step back and evaluate the relationship. Are there problems that you can work through, or is it time to move on?
I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there.

FASHION FIND BEARDS ARE BACK HOW MANY ROADS MUST A MAN WALK DOWN, BEFORE YOU CALL HIM A MAN? THE ANSWER MY FRIENDS, MAY LIE IN AN UNLIKELY PLACE...FACIAL HAIR.
1980
Freshman Kurtis Martin sports the classic beard, a timeless choice that speaks paragraphs about who he is as a person. "Basically, I chose this style because of laziness," Martin says."I just let it go."When grown out to its logical conclusion, the classic beard can evoke images of such greats as former president Ulysses S. Grant or John Lennon circa Let it Be."I prefer to keep it trimmed. I don't want to go to freaky," Martin says.

Junior Brady Hartman sports a newer brand of facial hair. "My mom likes to call it chin whiskers," Hartman says. The official name for Hartman's hair doo is up for discussion, but what is for sure, is that his beard is part of a lineage of goatees that saw its heyday in the 1990s and remains a popular choice today. Hartman relays another notable reason for growing out his goatee: "You could say the ladies like the chin hair."

On a larger scale, this handlebar moustache has made an unlikely resurgence after mysteriously disappearing from the popular consciousness in the late '70s.

TOP 5 WAYS TO GET OUT OF A BAD FIRST DATE
5. Tell your date that instead of going to the movie,you'd rather go back to your parents' house and look at your baby pictures together.
4. Very obviously pick your underwear out of your crack and then quickly give your fingers a sniff.
3. Go into great detail about the time your ex dumped you and to retaliate, you boiled Whiskers, your ex's pet rabbit.
2. Ask your date to go with you to the campus computer lab to message each other via Myspace.com because you don't have much experience talking in person.
1. Talk like Yoda from Star Wars... all night.

GIVE VEGGIE A TRY Meatless alternatives to the all-An hamburger, not just for vegetar
Meatless alternatives to the all-American hamburger, not just for vegetarians
by Jacky Carter
When I was in kindergarten, my family went on a vacation to Caliornia.While some people use vacation as an excuse to try new foods, I used it as an opportunity to eat 13 cheeseburgs in 10 days. No, my family did not eat entirely at McDonald's. And I didn't have any sort of food allergies preventing me from exploring options like seafood or even spaghetti. I just really like cheeseburti.
Although my meat intake did not continue with such voracity for the rest of my life, I am still — without a doubt — a happily consuming carnivore.
So it is with my carnivorous history that my journey into meatless patties is quite surprising. I tried a veggie burger when my friend made me take a bite of her Boca Burger. To be polite, I took as small a bite as possible, but couldn't help closing my eyes.
Surprisingly, it was good. And not good as in "that was nice," but good as in "I should start making these too."
Maggie Kelley, Kansas City, Mo. senior, made a similar discovery. Her father has been eating veggie burgers for 10 years, and she started eating them two years ago.Kelley is not a vegetarian but opts for veggie burgs instead of hamburgers because they're healthier.
"I don't avoid eating meat but if there's a chance to have a veggie burger, I always go for that," Kelley says.
While Kelley says she likes veggie burgers because
they're similar to hamburgers, some vegetarians and vegans appreciate that the veggie patty doesn't remind them of the real one.
STRIVING TO LIVE A CRUELTY-FREE LIFESTYLE IS NOT ABOUT WHETHER A VEGGIE BURGER TASTES LIKE MEAT OR NOT, IT IS ABOUT OUR ROLE AS HUMANS IN RESPECTING AND PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT
CRAIG MULANAX, DERBY NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENT
"I like them because they don't try to taste too much like real burgers. That gets old really fast," Anna Hoard, Topeka sophomore, says."They're things you can fill a sandwich with from the microwave or the grill."
Around the same time that my cheeseburger spree took place, Cates Mallaney, Centerville, Ohio senior, went in the opposite direction.
Mallaney stopped eating meat when he was 5. Animal cruelty and health benefits were factors in his decision to become a vegan a year ago, he says.
Although Mallaney didn't originally enjoy veggie burgers, he now makes his own at home.
Aaron Bart, Lawrence junior,
says he used to eat veggie
burgers but doesn't anymore.
Bart used to be a vegetarian and is now a vegan.
"The aspect of eating meat in the first place really puts me off," Bart says. "And the logic of eating something that is suppose to mimic it just doesn't seem right."
For people who enjoy meat or anyone wary of eating a veggie burger, Craig Mulanax, Derby non-traditional student, recommends Yves "The Good Burger." Mulanax, a vegan, says it's good for those who have either never eaten veggie burgers or have had a bad experience with them.
Veggie burgers are also extremely healthy. If the animal-rights reason isn't enough, the amount of protein you'll get and calories you'll avoid is convincing enough to switch, or at least rotate them into a meal.
Mulanax and his parents have cooked entirely vegan meals without their dinner guests knowing. They tell the truth after everyone has eaten and most people are surprised, Mulanax says.
Some people become vegetarians or vegans for a healthier diet, but they must make sure to get enough protein. Mallaney says he eats snacks like almonds and cashewts to help make up for it and he also takes a multi-vitamin vegan supplement call VegLife.
If you're a fan of regular hamburgers and fear that the veggie burgers won't quite please your palette, condiments to help disguise the flavor. Dousing my meatless cheeseburger with ketchup, mustard, dill pickles and Swiss cheese made my veggie burger seem like all the other burgers I'd eaten.
WHAT IS...
VEGETARIAN  An herbivore
VEGAN: A strict vegetarian one that consumes no animal food or dairy products.

So whether you've sworn off meat for good or just want something new to try, veggie burgers might be the healthy alternative to a fast food combo.

Ante up.
The world of online gambling can be exhilarating yet troublesome for college students.
You're sitting in front of your computer screen on a Wednesday night waiting for the next tournament on PartyPoker. com to start, although you know in your head you still have two papers to write and a quiz to study for.In the background,reruns of the World Poker Tour on television fill the silence of the room.Five minutes later,the dealer deals out the cards for the first round of Texas Hold'em.
You have played in countless online poker games, but you still feel a tingling sense of excitement rise through your body as you look at your cards — the king and queen of clubs. You eagerly bet your chips, anticipating what the next cards will be.
Here comes the flop — the jack of diamonds, six of clubs and 10 of hearts. Your heart beats a little faster as you raise the pot, hoping for an ace or nine to complete your straight draw. You up your ante and everyone else at the table folds except for someone with the screen name Poker4life.
With the turn comes the four of spades. Tough luck you think, but there is still one more card to be dealt. You convince yourself to stay in — in fact, you go all in, hoping to bluff out the other player. You take a deep breath, as you await the river. For a fleeting moment you think the dealer flipped a nine, but as you blink a couple of times, you see it's only the eight of hearts. A
message pops up on your screen telling you that you've been eliminated from this tournament, but to come play again. Another $50 down the drain you think to yourself, but you still can't wait
until tomorrow night when you'll try your luck in another online poker tournament.
Although poker has been around in the United States since the 1820s — when French immigrants who called the game poque brought it to New Orleans

Ryan Hulteng started playing poker with friends his freshman year while living in Oliver Hall. The Spencer, Iowa, junior had always liked to play cards growing up, so he thought he would give poker a try since all of his friends were playing. Hulteng plays occasionally on Empirepoker.com or Pokerstars.com."I've never been to a casino. I think I'd get eaten alive," he says.
The main reason online poker is so popular is its ease of use, says Thomas Hardy, director of housing and residence life at Valdosta State University and previous co-chair of the Gambling Action Team at the University of Alabama. "It is a rare college student who does not have access to a computer and students today spend hours surfing the internet looking for things to do," he says. A casino may be close, but it's much easier to go online, and this anonymity removes the fear of making a mistake and everyone knowing it was you who made it.
Hardy says.
Joey Fine taught himself to play poker, mainly through playing online. The Minneapolis senior tries to play only on big online tournaments. "The nice thing about tournaments online is that you can make a big fool out of yourself and nobody will ever know who you are, so you don't really have anything to be nervous about," he says. Fine's best finish was winning an online tournament with 300 people in it. It was only a $10 entry and he won $800, he says.
How to play
David Parlett, game inventor and historian, classifies poker as a vying game."It's a type of gambling game in which stakes are not fixed in advance, but are gradually raised until either all but one player drop out or a showdown occurs," he explains.
In Texas Hold'em, one of the most popular forms of poker
played today, each player is dealt two cards face down. This is followed by a round of betting. Three community cards, called the flop, are then placed face up in the center of the table for everyone to see. This is followed by a second round of betting. The fourth and fifth community cards, called the turn and river, respectively, are dealt face up on the table, each followed by a round of betting. Players use the two cards in their hand and the five community cards to make the best five-card poker hand possible.Various forms of betting rules can apply, but the most popular is no-limit betting, in which a player at any time can go "all in" by betting all of his or her chips.
and a lot of practice, the rules of the game will become second nature. Then all you have to do is learn to win. Sounds easy, right? You might want to think again.
If all of this doesn't seem confusing enough, rather than having each player ante a token amount, Texas Hold'em uses blind bets, which are posted by the two players to the left of a rotating dealer button. With a little patience
Skill or luck?
As Kenny Rogers sings in The Gambler, "You have to know when to hold'em, know when to fold'em, know when to walk away, know when to run." If you've played poker before, you know how much these lyrics ring true. Although poker is largely a game of skill, a little luck doesn't hurt anybody either. There is no built-in statistical advantage for any player, says Scott Golder, researcher at the MIT Media Laboratory, "Every player over time is just as likely to be dealt as many good or bad hands as any other player," he says. It's the skill a player possesses in terms of knowing when his or her hand has the highest likelihood of winning and betting accordingly. The other part of your game is deducing from your opponents' behavior how strong their hands are relative to your own. Being deceptive and detecting deception in others is a key aspect to playing poker well, Golder says.
Kevin has been playing poker since he was 9 when his grandma taught him to play. The Topeka senior says like most other games, poker has too many intricacies to completely master, but that's also what makes it fun." It even becomes a groupthink game because you're trying to eliminate as many people as possible," he says."You and your playing partners are all thinking the same thing...get ride of this guy so we get more money."
Predicting future events based on past ones and reading the body language of other players is extremely important if you want to learn to play with the big shots. For example, if you know from experience that a particular opponent bets high only when holding a strong hand, you might be more inclined to fold your hand when he bets heavily, Golder says. Body language varies among players, and is often called a "tell" in the poker world. Some examples of a tell include: fidgety hands, nervousness, changes in body posture and anxiety.
However, it's hard to read facial expressions when you're playing a screen name. Golder says this is when bluffing becomes an integral part of the game. The aim of bluffing is to make people lay down their cards so you can steal the pot without actually having a good hand to back it up. Bluffing separates those with skill rather than talent, Golder says. The key is to know when the best time to bluff is, because bluffing or folding too much will only make you predictable. But, knowing when to fold your hand may save you more money.
Michael Jensen, former KU student and now professional poker player, coaches KU
students when he's not playing by teaching them money and mind management exercises. You have to have the gamble in you, he says. "There are certain personality traits that allow you to put money on the line." Jensen says. Patience, discipline and money management skills are also required to become a good poker player.
When poker takes over
Playing online poker can start simply enough. Maybe a friend in the dorm mentions a favorite poker site and tells you the site has a joining bonus of $50, and you decide to try it out. However, the next thing you know, you're spending hundreds of dollars a week trying to hit it big. More than 70 percent of U.S. adults report gambling at least once in the past year, according to The National Council on Problem Gambling. Most adults are able to gamble responsibly, but in a given year, approximately three million adults meet the criteria for pathological gambling. Another 2 to 3 percent have less significant, but still serious gambling problems and are known as problem gamblers.
The problem is that poker is a risk-taking behavior similar to alcohol and drugs that a lot of college students choose to engage in, says Hardy, the former co-chair of the Gambling Action Team at the University of Alabama. "Since it impacts students financially as losses mount, the tendency is for credit card balances to be run high, savings to be depleted and in severe cases theft of money from friends or family to play the game," he says. Not all students will become addicted, but those that do will be left with big problems they will need to deal with.
Although most online tournaments are only $5 or $10 buy-ins, the quickness of the games allows you to play more in one day, or even multiple games at the same time. In most scheduled online poker tournaments, players pay at entry fee (buy-in), which may be anywhere from a less than a dollar to several thousand dollars. In most cases, the house gets 10 percent of what goes to the prize pool, but in some lower-cost tournaments, the house might take a higher percentage to cover operating costs. Jensen says you need to know when to slow down and how to set limits for yourself. "You have to be humble when you're starting out. If you're on a losing streak, you have to start playing smaller, otherwise you'll go broke," he says.
Rarely does a day go by when Mathew Sidarous, Lawrence senior, doesn't play a game of online poker. Since his freshman year, he has won around $3,000 from online tournaments, and he doesn't plan on quitting there. He started out playing small $5 buy-ins at PokerStars.com

a bad losing streak, losing around $600.
Future of Poker
Poker isn't going anywhere soon. College students can now play in online tournaments for scholarship money, like the College Poker Championship. The CPC is a free online Texas Hold'em no limit poker tournament open exclusively to college students. Lou Krieger, host of the tournament and widely known gambling expert, says he believes that colleges are recognizing that to a large extent, the lessons of poker are the lessons of life and the skills learned at poker, such as dealing with uncertainty, decision-making
in scholarships,
plus a significant contribution
to a charity of
the student's choice.
"What matters is that students enjoy themselves, learn poker in a risk-free environment,
extend their
traditional school rivalries into poker too, and that the winners come away with a substantial amount of money to help underwrite the cost of their education,"he says.
Although nothing seems to be slowing down the online poker phenomenon, it is transforming the tournament landscape that had long been controlled by a relatively small circuit of professionals with names like Chris"Jesus"Ferguson, Doyle "Texas Dolly" Brunson and Phil "Poker Brat" Hellmuth. Online poker is casting a whole new breed of young, aggressive players who are taking the game by storm.
Q&A WITH PROFESSIONAL POKER PLAYER DANIEL NEGREANU
Canadian-born Daniel "KidPoker" Negreanu has become one of the most recognizable professional poker players to date. He's easy to spot in tournament play, wearing a hockey jersey and listening to music on headphones. His popularity began to soar in 1997 when he won two events at the World Poker Finals at Foxwoods, earning himself $133,600 and being named the tournament's best all-around player.The following year Negreanu took the 1998 World Series of Poker by storm, winning $169,460 at the $2,000 Pot Limit Hold'em event and becoming the youngest WSOP bracelet winner in history — a record he held until 2004.
Over the last six years Daniel Negreanu has won two World Poker Tour (WPT) events and another two World Series bracelets. He has earned more than $7
million in tournaments and countless millions in other cash games. And to add to his accomplishments, he was recently named "Favorite Poker Player" at the Card Player, Player of the Year Awards Gala in February 2006. Read on to find out how Negreanu gets ready before a tournament, what he thinks of online play and his plans for the future, which doesn't Just include poker.
How did you first become interested in poker?
DN: I started out playing in Toronto with friends in basement games. I was a pool player at the time, and one night we played with some of the guys from the pool hall. Once that started, we were playing three to four times a week. I learned mostly from watching the other players that seemed to win.
Poker
How do you get ready before a big tournament?
DN: Lots of sleep, no alcohol and no socializing...oh, and I watch Rocky!
Why do you think poker is so popular today?
DN: For four main reasons: 1) The WPT's invention of the hole card cam, 2) Chris Moneymaker's win, 3) The Internet, and 4) Celebrities playing makes the game even cooler.
How do you think the rise of online poker sites is affecting the game of
poker? How often do you play online?
DN: It helps me because I can stay sharp during off-periods. As for online poker itself, it's helped speed up the learning curve, and young players are getting so good so fast these days. There are more 20-something millionaire poker players today than any other time in history. I only play at www.fullcontactpoker.com. I'd say that I play there about three times a week.
What advice would you give college-aged students who want to learn to play poker or become better poker players? DN: Take your time and use all the resources available, including poker books, software, Stacked (the video game) and so on. Also, playing online will help.
What is the hardest part about being a professional poker player?
DN: Not knowing what your paycheck looks like from week to week.
Have you found it easy or hard to balance poker with your personal life? DN: It's never easy, but it's essential. I'm 31 now and learned how to do that by trial and error.
What are you plans for the future, besides playing more poker?
DN: Starting a family, helping to grow www.fullcontactpoker.com, playing more in the "Big Game" and also looking into other business ventures.

Graduate: Sarah Schirmer
Year: 2004
Hometown: Circleville
Degree: Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting
Today: Schirmer works at Big Daddy Cadillac's Tattoos and Piercing, 16 E. Eighth St. She schedules appointments at the front desk and advises clients about their permanent decisions. At work she draws signs for the shop and comes up with her own paintings. She usually paints surreal subjects using oil paints and fabric. She plans on showing her work in Lawrence's "Red Balloon To-Do" art show this fall.
On the Job: Some of Schirmer's memorable experiences include a man who had an evil pumpkin tattooed on his knee on 6-6-06 and a man who had lettering tattooed on his penis.
Back in the day: While at KU, Schirmer took a professional activities seminar, which she says was helpful because it showed her how to get her work out
there for people to see.
Schirmer says: "Are you sure
you want it there?"
"I wouldn't mind tattooing or marrying a rich old man so I could sit in my studio and paint all day."
"There's always something out there to learn."

Sports bars provide the ultimate entertainment
It's 11:30 a.m. at Set 'Em Up Jacks, 1800 E.23rd St. The crowd begins to saunter in, with plenty of time to grab a prime seat in front of the projection screen for the noon Chiefs-Broncos kickoff. Attendance climbs toward capacity. Soon, the crowd resembles a Las Vegas casino during the NCAA basketball tournament, with jersey-clad men and women swilling 25-ounce beers, yelling at surrounding television screens and giving high-fives to complete strangers.
Even though most college students can't afford NFL tickets, being around a raucous crowd gives the game more life. It makes the highs even higher and the lows even lower. So what do students do if they can't make it to the game? Head to the nearest sports bar.
Tyler Leiker, Olathe sophomore, and his pals frequent Buffalo Wild Wings, 1012 Massachusetts St., on most Sundays but resort to other bars if they hear of good specials."We definitely pay attention to the
specials, try to save some money, but in the end there's more people, a better atmosphere and more televised games in the bars."
More games are televised nowadays, giving Lawrence bars an opportunity to draw more fans, Leiker says. DirectTV's NFL Sunday Ticket is a cable package that gives sports bars the ability to show every game of the
NFL season. The package costs commercial establishments up to $2,349 per year, depending on maximum occupancy, according to directv.com, and more if a bar wants other sports packages similar to NFL Sunday Ticket, like NCAA College Gameday for college football.

Fantasy league owners show up in throngs to watch their players, says Michael Cuper, general manager of Buffalo Wild Wings."We have groups of both men and women coming in to watch their players each week, and the Sunday Ticket is a big
reason for that,"he says.
Buffalo Wild Wings and the Phoggy Dog.2228 Iowa St.,claim that 50 percent of their patrons on NFL. Sundays are students. "They want to come in, drink cheap beer, eat and watch their fantasy players and their favorite teams,"says Scott Newell coowner of the Phoggy Dog.
Rick's Place, 846 Illinois St., neither serves food nor has the DirecTV package, so business doesn't spike on NFL game days. "Without serving food, it's hard to entice kids to get out of the rack with a hangover and go to a bar before noon," owner Rick Younger says. His patrons on game days are more likely to be groups of non-students coming in to watch the Chiefs.
In either case,the NFLregular season is two weeks away, and Lawrence sports bars are ready to tap into student business.Big beers,buffets,chicken wings and football loom ahead on Sunday afternoons,with both sports bars and students ready to take advantage of each other.

Personally, I have no desire to take steroids or anything else that might disturb my downstairs plumbing. As my old buddy once told me, "DeJuan, steroids only affect the water bags not the water hose." Despite that great advice and the usual public outrage associated with steroids, I completely understand why people take them. The old adage is that steroids make athletes bigger, faster and stronger, which in turn might lead them to an incredible pay day in their sports of choice.Would I take 'roids if it could get a job writing a column for the New York Times, ESPN or Sports illustrated right out of college? No.Would I consider it? You dam right I would.You can't accuse people of "cheating" by taking steroids, because — guess what — there are tons of lying, cheating, unethical people in the world who have never stepped foot in a gym. People who take steroids are just easier to recognize.
Roidin', juicin' or whatever you call it, there is one undeniable fact — they work. I work out quite a bit, and because I'm a naturally skinny dude, I have to take supplements in order to see any kind of muscle mass gain. Sure, I've seen some improvements, but don't think that taking a cycle of 'roids hasn't crossed my mind too. I wanna be a big guy. Most guys that lift do. And with steroids, you'll get big. Just look at my hero, the greatest action-movie and one-liner actor of all time, Arnold Schwarznegger. While he only took them for a short time, he's quick to point out the advantages steroids have. Hell, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa helped bring baseball back with every needle in the buttcheek they took to crush home runs at a record-setting pace.
But, they shrink your testes. Acne sucks,'roid rage is dangerous, but to shrink two of my closest friends? That protein shake will do just fine.

My college career was nearly over before it began.
During freshman orientation in 2003, I went on a walk around campus with two of my closest friends from high school. The first thing we wanted to see was Memorial Stadium, and the best view of that campus landmark comes from the Campanile. Coming from a southwestern Kansas town that has no hills whatsoever, we admired the view from the top of The Hill.
As I looked down on what has become one of my favorite views, I started to walk through the base of the clock tower. Just before I passed through the walkway, one of my friends stopped me. He had heard of a tradition that warned against entering one side and exiting the other before graduation.
As I learned later, legend has it that passing completely through the tower makes
JUST BEFORE I PASSED THROUGH THE WALKWAY [OF THE CAMPANILE], ONE OF MY FRIENDS STOPPED ME. HE HAD HEARD SOME TRADITION THAT WARNED AGAINST ENTERING ONE SIDE AND EXITING THE OTHER BEFORE GRADUATION.
Stopped at the last possible moment, I felt humbled. I felt lucky that my friend had kept me from such a disastrous move, but I also felt overwhelmed by my tiny presence in such a large, new world. I was in college and, for the first time in my life, I didn't even know the basics of existence in my new surroundings.
graduating from the University an impossibility.
Three years later, the climate has changed. I've taken more than 30 classes since then, and I've learned the things you're supposed to learn in class. I know now that journalists are gatekeepers to information. I
I've also spent much of the past three years working on the school newspaper at various positions, and I've learned things you're supposed to learn when training for a career. I know what makes for a good headline, how to properly label a photo and that deadlines are the enemy.
know that Nietzsche's writings were the basis for Superman, and I know enough French to buy bread in Paris.
More important than those things, I've learned lessons outside of class and away from the newsroom that I couldn't have learned anywhere else. I can to tap a keg and use Enroll & Pay
without becoming completely homicidal. I know how to end up in the front row of a game at Allen Fieldhouse and where to sleep on campus. Those lessons started three years ago at the top of The Hill, and they haven't stopped since.
When my dorm buddy Lindy lost his battle with a lifelong illness that I never even knew he had, I learned to appreciate the opportunities I was given on a daily basis — and to do it with a smile on my face. When I went home to live with my parents for a summer, I learned that my family is always rooting for me, even when school and work keep me away from them. And when one of my best friends, the friend who kept me from making the Campanile mistake, lost his father to cancer a few months ago, I learned a thousand things. I learned what it was to be a friend and what it
was to be courageous.I saw real strength and honest character, and I learned to be humble all over again.
No matter how I look at it, I can't help but think that everything I've learned in the past three years can be traced back to that one day overlooking Memorial Stadium.
What I don't know is when I went from being that freshman-to-be who couldn't find his first class to a senior offering enrollment advice to incoming freshmen. What I do know is that I'm grateful for everything that has happened to me, and I still believe in campus legends. One of my personal favorites is the tradition of leaving the campus in better condition than you found it. I know Mount Oread has improved who I am; I'm just hoping that at the end of my time here, it will be able to say the same about me.

Snakes on a Plane
MOVIE
"Snakes on a Plane" is a bottom-of-the-barrel, B movie that has been given the attention of a Hollywood blockbuster.
The film's main flaw is obvious immediately after its title appears in the beginning; the movie is all hype and fails to be anything with substance. And the massive marketing campaign heralding the movie all summer was unable to infuse drama or tension into the story.
Here, the movie mildly delivers. Nearly every possible body part
The plot is sssilly and can be completely ssssurrised from the movie title. However, the audience is not in the theater to see any semblance of a plot or the latest Meryl Streep film. What the audience comes to see is myriad snakes that bite and eat and spit, and the hero, FBI agent SamuelL.Jackson,throwing them against the wall and getting the "motherfucking snakes off the motherfucking plane."
in Hollywood who could play this role. It's too bad the other stars in the film lack such a bite.
Ultimately, "Snakes on a Plane" is a hollow and mildly entertaining flick that cannot seem to shed its skin to become anything other than mindless summer entertainment.
Rated: R
105 minutes
Andy Hunt
Samuel L. Jackson remains the only competent presence in the film. He goes after the stowaways with such gusto and force, that it is obvious he is the only person
is, at some point, bitten or latched onto, including numerous that cannot be menticnud in this review.Everything that can happen involving snakes on a plane manages to occur: they ride carts, hide in purses, scale the walls... shocking that a cobra never dons a pilot's cap and starts to fly.
The Avalanche MUSIC Sufjan Stevens
For those who couldn't get enough of the 22-song classic "Illinois" comes "The Avalanche," a collection of unreleased material from the "illinois" sessions. Featuring 21 songs, "The Avalanche" is another release to add to Sufjan Stevens' already impressive catalog.
(1)
There are a few standout tracks on the album, Including the circus-inspired "Adlial Stevenson," three versions of "Chicago," the sunny-sounding "No Man's Land" and the ukulele fueled "The Mistress Witch From McClure."
Naturally, "The Avalanche shares a lot of similarities with "Illinois," including the quiet folk sound, rich harmonies and the overuse
of glockenspiel, but the songs don't really grab the listener's attention like "illinois" did. However, the "Avalanche" is supposed to be an album of songs that weren't considered good enough for "Illinois," so maybe the album succeeds in that way.
If you're a big Stevens fan and are craving 21 more songs, then maybe this is the album for you. If you're more of a casual Stevens listener then just stick to "illinois."

Binge drinking stirs up hidden costs

Night of near-alcohol overdose lands student with hospital bills
BY DAVID LINHARDT
It was the first day of class and the first day of $4 beer pitchers at The Crossing.
At the popular bar just off Jayhawk Boulevard, a Wichita freshman named Hannah and her friends drank pitcher after pitcher of Boulevard Wheat and Budweiser.
Hannah, 18, won a quick chugging contest with a much larger man and felt elated. She was sure
she could drink much more.
What she didn't know was that alcohol could shut down a body's nervous system and that KU Public Safety officers would be patrolling Jayhawk Boulevard on $4 pitcher night.
She also didn't know that the cost of being treated for near-alcohol poisoning can climb as high as $10,000, officials at Lawrence Memorial Hospital said.
About 11 percent of women and 33 percent of men ages 18 to 44
participate in binge drinking at least once per month, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2000, the CDC tracked 85,000 deaths related to excessive drinking.
Risk of liver and oral cancer increases 40 percent or more with excessive drinking. Excessive drinking is generally defined as having five or more drinks on a single occasion.

Facts about excessive drinking
> Ninety percent of alcohol consumed by underage drinkers comes during binge drinking sessions.
> Fifty-two percent of all 18- to 20 year-olds who consume alcohol drink excessively. That's the highest proportion of any age group.
> Twenty percent of males and 8 percent of females will meet qualifications for alcohol dependency in their lives.
> Excessive drinking is often a factor in sexual assaults during college. Rape is more likely to occur when both an attacker and a victim use alcohol before an attack.

SAFETY
'Smart' alarms improve lab safety
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Tim Welch spends an average of 40 hours per week in the Malott Hall labs. The Salina senior is majoring in chemistry and has a full workload that requires him to spend hours testing sometimes hazardous chemicals. Welch said he feels free to work with the potent chemicals thanks to safety precautions put into place by the University of Kansas.
Welch can work safely under the protection of the building's "smart" alarms. In late 1996, the University began a program to install new alarm systems in new and remodeled buildings on campus.
Bob Rombach, University fire marshal, said that 44 buildings on campus have the new alarm system. and Malott is one of them. Instead of horns or beeps, if the new alarms detect smoke or flames, the alarms set off flashing lights and loud voice alerts.
"Previously, parts of the building were not covered well," Rombach said. "At one point the building had two different fire alarm systems. Now the building has a "smart" fire
alarm system connected to KU 911 with graphic screens to alert dispatchers."
The new "smart" fire alarm system monitors all alarms in the building, unlike the old system that was connected through a series of wires, not to each other. Rombach reports that in the "smart" system every device has a specific location and will automatically alert dispatchers to where the emergency is.
Other laboratory buildings on campus, like Smissman Research Laboratories on West Campus, aren't so lucky. A fire in Smissman last year caused concern because the building contained only manual fire alarm pulls, Rombach said.
In contrast, Rombach said the alarms in Malott are so sensitive that they are sometimes even tripped by a settling of dust in the building.
Though the alarms provide for the quick and early detection of fires, other dangers might slip by if not monitored by students and employees.

More students opt for summer studies
BY BEN SMITH
Summer enrollment at the University of Kansas increased this year after dropping in 2005.
The University Registrar's Office said Thursday that the number of students who attended summer classes at the University this year increased by 79 students. Total University enrollment, which includes all University-affiliated campuses, was up by 59 students.
However, overall enrollment was still less than it was in Summer 2004.
University spokesman Todd
In 2005, 10,616 students attended classes at all campuses during the summer. That was nearly 35 percent of the 29,624 students who enrolled for the subsequent fall semester. In the previous year, Summer 2004, the total University enrollment of 11,033 was about 37 percent of the student population in Fall 2004.

Pluto now considered 'dwarf planet'
Julie Feldt lost her favorite planet Thursday when the International Astronomical Union removed Pluto's planetary status.
Feldt, St. Louis junior and astronomy and physics major, said she's disappointed with the decision.
76 years after Pluto's discovery by KU alumnus, it is stripped of its status as large planet
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
The IAU decided early Thursday morning to remove Pluto from the list of nine planets that's existed since Pluto's discovery in 1930. Pluto was regarded a planet for more than 75 years. It will now be considered a "dwarf planet."
"Hopefully it doesn't hurt research on Pluto," Feldt said.
The decision prompted mixed reactions. Members of the facebook com group, "I love it that Pluto isn't a planet anymore," celebrated. Others, including Feldt, were dissappointed.
The news is especially upsetting for the University of Kansas. Clyde Tombaugh, the man who discovered Pluto, graduated from the University in 1936 with a Bachelor of Science degree in astronomy.
Barbara Anthony-Twarog, professor of physics and astronomy, said
46
"I think it diminishes some of the pride that Kansans get at the recognition of Tombaugh as the discoverer of Pluto, but scientifically this doesn't mean anything," she said.
she was disappointed and surprised to hear Tulpe was no longer a planet.
Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 1930 while working at Lowell observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz.
Anthony-Twarog said that a week ago it seemed likely the IAU would allow Pluto to retain its planetary status.
The former definition of a planet considered any object orbiting the sun that's large enough to make itself spherical to be a planet.
However, what now distinguishes Pluto as a "dwarf planet" is its oblong orbit that overlaps with Neptune's. For Pluto to be considered a planet, it would need to be able to clear all debris from its orbital neighborhood — which it cannot.
Kelley Liebst, Lawrence sophomore and physics and astronomy major, said she's not surprised about the decision.

odd news Court considers if cat spat constitutes misdemeanor
JEANNETTE, Pa. — Meow.
A district judge has been asked to decide whether that word is a harmless taunt or grounds for misdemeanor harassment.
Police charged a 14-year-old boy for "meowing" whenever he sees his neighbor, 78-year-old Alexandria Carasia. The boy's family and Carasia do not get along. The boy's mother said the family got rid of their cat after Carasia complained to police that it used her flower garden as a litter box.
District Judge Joseph DeMarchis decided to wait 90 days before ruling.
The boy testified Tuesday that he only meowed at the woman twice.
Marijuana plant found growing in residential area
PRESCOTT, Ariz. — A sheriff's deputy patrolling a senior housing development outside Prescott spotted a 5-foot-tall marijuana plant growing between two residents' driveways.
Yavapai County Deputy Justin Dwyer identified the plant and interviewed the residents Wednesday, spokeswoman Susan Quayle said. They told the deputy they thought the plant was "just an attractive weed, and they had been watering it because it looked so nice."
Quayle said it appeared the plant was growing wild and sprouted from a stray seed.
Dwyer told the homeowners he would have to confiscate it and asked them to call deputies
if more were found.

Freshman juggles classes with emergency medical service
BY BEN SMITH
Heart attack, stroke or car accident?
That happened in March, her first night of duty as an Emergency Medical Technician. The next morning, Dusek attended classes at 8 a.m., finishing her senior year of high school.
Now a student at the University of Kansas, the Belleville freshman still treks home to Republic County in north-central Kansas once a month to work a 24-hour EMT shift.
Whatever it was, she was ready. Her nerves tingling with stress and fear, 18-year-old Erin Dusek) jumped into the ambulance at 2 a.m. to rush to the aid of somebody in need.
Certified in March, Dusek has been an active member of the RepublicCounty Emergency Medical Service for six months. She worked 30 to 50 hours a week, serving her small community during the summer, before she came to Lawrence.
"I love it." Dusek said. "It's a good opportunity to help people and see things you wouldn't otherwise see."
Her parents have been EMTs in Republic County since 1986.
"We have seen a lot in those years, but I don't worry at all about her having to work a difficult call," said Rod Dusek, Erin's father and assistant director of the service. "Erin has a very level head, and can think things through and act correctly and safely."
Of the 20 people who work the Republic County EMS, Erin is the youngest, "but she is very good and she's catching on very well," said David Strnad, director of the Republic County EMS.
To become an EMT, Dusek took courses from Butler County Community College in El Dorado. Dusek spent most of her on-duty time helping the elderly in her community.
Dusek is a social welfare major. She said her goal was to help people by working in hospitals. She also advocates the importance of CPR training and wants to get more people interested in the profession.
"It's a very important job that always needs workers," she said.
According to the Kansas Board of Emergency Medical Services, most EMS agencies require the following: U.S. citizenship with a valid driver's license and a good driving record, a high school diploma or GED and an age of 21, although some agencies will hire 18-year-olds.
Four-hour adult CPR classes are available through the Douglas County chapter of the American Red Cross for a fee of $30. Full-time students can take classes in infant, child, and adult CPR at Watkins Memorial Health Center for $23.10.
“你帮助 people to have a second chance to live.”
Applicants must also have valid state EMT or Paramedic certification and effective oral, written and interpersonal communication skills.

ROCKY
Megan True/KANSAN
Jay Vaglio, left, Leaward sophomore, and his brother James Vagilio, Leaward senior, are both RAs in the residence hall. "We get paid to hang out with people. You couldn't ask for a better college job," James Vagilio said.
RA transition runs in family
BY MATT ELDER
The Vaglios have made student housing a family affair for the past decade.
The five Leawood siblings have come through the University of Kansas, all of which have been resident assistants.
"We're the perennial housing powerhouse," said Jeff Vaglio with a laugh, who graduated in 2006.
His brother, John, the oldest of the Vaglio children, started the trend in the mid-1990s as an RA in Templin Hall. Twins Jeff and Kristin followed at Oliver, Lewis and Templin halls. While all three have graduated, two members of the Vaglio family are carrying on the tradition at the University today.
"I think they probably have the record," said Diana Robertson, interim director of the Department of Student Housing. "I've known of a brother and sister, or a couple of siblings, but they have the largest streak I've known of"
With five members of the family having been RAs during their time spent at the University, it might just be. To Robertson, the housing department continues to welcome "the string of Vaglios" on campus with open arms.
"I think it's a testament to the character of the family as a whole,"
Robertson said. "They're hard-working, wanting to be of help to others, and they've all served really well."
For James and lay, the two current Vaglios at the University, their hard work has resulted in their promotion to senior staff RAs. Both said it was a personal decision, rather than family expectations, to continue in their older siblings' footsteps.
"I love it," said James Vaglio, a graduate student who is working in Templin after two years in McCollum Hall. "You meet incredibly different personalities."
For Jay, the youngest of the five RAs, the experience has resulted in much more than a typical on-campus job. Being an RA has offered Jay the chance to build relationships he could hang on to, citing his jitters in his transition to a new town his freshman year. "You aren't always an authoritative figure," he said.
"Starting a freshman in January at that role is a little bit uncommon," Robertson said. "I think that it's a testament to the type of maturity in him."
While maturity may be a trait common to the Vaglio family from their roles of leadership within the University, it's their moments of responsibility and actions as authoritative figures that remind them that it is indeed a job. After several escapades, including water balloons shooting from windows and pumpkins dropping from the seventh story, responsibility is the backbone of their job.
"If guys are kicking a soccer ball or throwing a Frisbee in the hall, I have to be the guy that says they can't do that." Jay said. "Even though I'd like to be the guy throwing the frisbee."
While the five siblings have given so much of themselves back to the campus community, both James and Jay said they are the fortunate individuals.
"I've met all types of students, who are all from different backgrounds," James said. "Just an incredible blend of people."
Kara, the youngest of the Vaglio siblings, will graduate high school this fall, a semester early, to jumpstart her college career at Johnson County Community College. She plans to attend the University in Fall 2007, as the potential seventh installment of the Vaglio tradition on top of the hill.

Shooter goes on rampage, kills two, injures three
BY WILSON RING ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOMEONE HELPING ME
BSSEX, Vt. A gunman shot five people Thursday, killing two of them, in a rampage through two houses and an elementary school that ended when he wounded himself, police said.
One of the killings occurred at the school, which was not in session. Police Chief David Demag said he could not confirm earlier reports that the victim was a teacher preparing for the start of classes next week.
One television report said about 30 staff were in Essex Elementary School. People were seen running from the school, ducking their heads.
School personnel console each other outside Essex Elementary School after a reported shooting inside, Thursday in Essex, VT. A gumman shot five people killing two of them, in a rampage through two houses and the elementary school which ended when he wounded himself, police said.
Demag said the shooter and the other wounded people were taken to a hospital, but their conditions were not immediately known.
"At this point the scenes are secured and the community is safe," Demag said about two hours after the first reports of a shooting. "We have a suspect in custody."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The chief said he could not provide the shooter's identity or a motive other than that the shootings appeared to stem from a domestic dispute.
Demag said one person was killed in the first shooting, which occurred at a home. The shooter then went to the school, where he fatally shot one person and wounded two others Demag said.
Deflag the shooter then went to a condominium complex where he wounded a person before turning the gun on
himself, the chief said.
Jillian Schultz, 22, who lives at the complex, said she was playing with her son and the son of a neighbor she knows only as "Chad" when a
man ran past her, asking "Where's Chad? Where's Chad?"
Moments later, she heard four gunshots. Schultz said she gathered the children and "got out of there."
Film chronicles Naismith's life Kansas basketball great subject of upcoming movie
ENTERTAINMENT
BY C.J. MOORE
Ian Naismith calls it the greatest story that's never been told — the story of his grandfather, James Naismith, the inventor of basketball.
Now, 115 years after Naismith invented a game that included two peach baskets and 13 original rules, the story of Naismith is being captured in a documentary called "Basketball Man: Dr. Naismith and the Rules of the Game." Naismith spent the final 41 years of his life in Lawrence, and Ian and the filmmakers decided Lawrence was where they would begin shooting the documentary.
"His story took place in Lawrence, and it was an obvious place to start filming," Ian said. "He was very attached to Lawrence and the University of Kansas."
The crew of "Basketball Man"
began shooting in Lawrence in
May; executive producer Keith Zimmerman said they would finish filming in four weeks. While in Lawrence, the filmmakers interviewed University of Kansas basketball coach Bill Self, athletics director Lew Perkins and former player Bud Stallworth.
"KU is going to get worldwide exposure," Zimmerman said. "People that didn't know about it, they'll realize that James Naismith fell in love with Lawrence, Kan."
The premise of the documentary is to tell the story of Nalsmith's life. It also includes interviews with legendary coaches and players from the past and the present including Self, Red Auerbach, John Wooden, Bob Cousy, Oscar Robertson, Steve Nash, Kirk Hinrich and NBA Commissioner David Stern.
The movie is set to premiere Sept. 27 in Las Vegas. Zimmerman is working with the Athletics
Department to have a special showing at the University, possibly following a basketball game.
The documentary DVD, which will include more than three hours of footage, goes on sale on the Internet in November and will be in stores January 2007. Zimmerman is negotiating with HBO, Showtime and ESPN Classic to sell a 60- to 90-minute version of "Basketball Man" for television. The movie will also be shown on the big screen for a week in New York, Los Angeles and possibly in the Kansas City area so it will be eligible for an Emmy.
"I would think it'll be the most impressive documentary regarding basketball ever made," Ian said.

Fun Fest event at Edwards Campus welcomes students, families, neighbors
BY BEN SMITH
Although the University of Kansas Edwards Campus doesn't have Hawk Week events to welcome students, the University is bringing social events like Fun Fest to the Overland Park campus.
The Fun Fest, which will feature activities for both students and their families, begins at 5 p.m. today in the parking lot near the Jayhawk Central student union.
Steve Baru, a 50-year-old parttime masters student in business administration, was glad to see the University making an effort to reach out to his community and students like him.
"As someone coming from the
community, their presence is quite apparent here," Baru said.
Baru, who lives close to the campus, planned to attend the event with his neighbor.
The event will have free food, a children's activity area, discounts on merchandise at the bookstore, and local jazz group The Doug Talley Quartet will perform a free concert at 7 p.m. in Reigner Hall.
Baru said he thought the events served two purposes: making the students more connected to one another and making the community more aware of the programs and people at the non-traditional campus.
"The students are different, the learning is different," Baru said.
about his new college experiences.
These events are relatively new to the Edwards Campus. Last year there was a similar event for the opening of Jayhawk Central.
"Students, staff and the community enjoyed the events so much," said Elaine Warren, director of public relations at Edwards Campus. "We decided we would engage in something similar each year as a welcome back to students and outreach to our surrounding community and neighbors."

ALARMS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
On Aug. 16, a leak in an air line going to an air dryer in a lab was detected by custodians cleaning the building.
Capt. James King, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical, responded to the custodians' call to 911. King said the employees initially feared it was a gas leak and thanks to their attentiveness, the fire department was at the building quickly.
Rich Barr, Lawrence fire marshal, said professors and students working in the lab classrooms typically went through safety lectures and training courses to be attentive to workspace dangers.
He said that safe practices were the first and best prevention of any fire or emergency in the building.
"If something does occur in those labs, it occurs because someone took a shortcut," Barr said. "The labs in Malott house a wide array of chemicals that constantly move around. For the fire department, it is important for users to follow the rules and safety precautions so we don't have to come up there."
Because many of the chemicals housed in Malott are flammable, toxic or corrosive, Barr said his department takes extra precautions when answering calls in the building.
A Hazardous Materials center was included in the Fire Station No. 5,1911 Stewart Ave., to address concerns that might come from lab classes at the University.
"We upgrade our level of response and protection in dealing with chemical materials from laboratories," Barr said.
Even with all the precautions, Welch said he still used extra care when working with chemicals in the labs.
Rombach said all chemicals in Malott are tracked through Environmental Health and Safety, and that his department inspected the labs annually to determine levels of safety.
"All who work in the lab are jointly responsible for the proper disposal of all chemicals and waste," Welch said. "I am usually not as concerned, as long as those around me are exercising safe laboratory practices."

SUMMER (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
- Edited by Erin Wiley
Despite the minor slump in enrollment, summer courses appeal to students for many reasons. Some students take summer courses to fulfill requirements, raise GPAs or make up dropped or uncompleted courses.
Bethany Taylor, Olathe sophomore, finished summer classes three weeks before her fall semester began.
"I enjoyed the summer school a lot," she said. "Everyone seemed to have a sort of 'summer attitude' in the class, including the professor."
Taylor said she took difficult classes during the summer in order to make this fall semester more manageable.
The summer semester's shorter length makes classes easier to endure, she said.
"The paper deadlines are harsh and the reading workload can be downright painful, but you can eliminate a whole three, or in my case, nine, junior-level credit hours in just two months." she said.
Juliana Whisman, Augusta senior, squeezed in some required classes before her May 2007 graduation.
"I would definitely recommend summer courses to other students," Whisman said. "Even though they can be a lot of work, they're over so quickly."

PLUTO (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Anthony-Twarog said the University's astronomy and physics department won't be affected by the decision. "He still discovered Pluto and it's still an impressive achievement," Anthony-Twarog said. "What people call it doesn't change that."
If nothing else, Pluto has achieved more than its 15 minutes of fame.
"What's great about the Pluto debate is it brings public interest into astronomy," said Brent Hartley, Olathe junior and physics and astronomy major.
Pluto will now be considered a "dwarf planet," a new category of minor planets. The asteroid Ceres and 2003 UB313, also known as "Xena," will join Pluto as new "dwarf planets."

NASA helps professor study global warming
BY KIM LYNCH
A professor at the University of Kansas has received a grant from NASA that will allow him to develop smart sensors, which could be used to study global warming.
NASA has awarded Costas Tsatsoulis, professor and chair of electrical engineering and computer science, a $638,000 three-year grant for the project.
One function of the sensors will be to measure the melting of ice sheets, allowing scientists to get data faster.
Laird said the technology could help them zero in on thinning areas in the ice sheet, which would lead to additional studies.
"It would speed up the entire process of studying the ice sheets," said Claude Laird, a research associate at the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets.
Tatsoulis said the project would be done mostly on computers. He said the project was in its preliminary stages and would not be producing sensors until later on.
Putting the sensors in satellites is a long-term goal. It will take 20 to 30 years for NASA to do that, Tsatsouis said.
When the project is completed.
there will several types of sensors. Some will be space-based, others sea-based such as buoys and some land-based.
"An Inconvenient Truth," a documentary on global warming narrated by former Vice-President Al Gore, was released earlier this year and has been raising awareness of the issue ever since.
Briana Saunders, British Columbia sophomore, said she thought it was a great movie and if people would watch it with an open mind, they would feel compelled to do something about global warming.
Saunders said until the consequences of the global warming problem were staring people in the face, most of the population wouldn't act on it.
Betsy Copeland, Leonardville senior, said she also thought global warming was a growing issue but had faith that the population would be able to adapt to the changing environment.

In Hannah's case, the ambulance ride and hospital admission alone will ratchet up the amount on the insurance bill her parents will receive. Since her hospital visit on Aug. 17, she's been trying to figure out a good excuse for the inevitable questions.
Doctors and nurses assessed Hannah's condition, checked her airway for vomit or pieces of food and asked if she was alone.
She arrived at the hospital and was admitted. Often multiple cases of potential alcohol overdose occur late at night, Drees said, and hospital rooms can be filled with the noise of partially or totally inebriated patients' friends.

Treatments and costs can vary dramatically, said Belinda Rehmer, hospital spokeswoman. It's difficult to pin down exactly how much an alcohol-related emergency room visit could cost.

ENTERTAINMENT
Matthew Reiss, a founding member of the Hypothetical Seven comedy group, compared the act of performing comedy to playing a game of cops and robbers.
The group has eight active members, four of whom are University of Kansas students, who meet weekly to practice. The group alternates each week between meeting in Kansas City and Lawrence. Reiss started the group 13 years ago when he was a law student at the University.
Comedy group shares laughs, friendship
Even though he knew the game was pretend when he played it as a child, he said he still felt emotionally involved. He feels the same energy and enthusiasm when performing comedy, Reiss said.
"I want to translate that childlike play onto the stage," Reiss said, a KU alumnus, at a recent meeting of the improvisational and sketch comedy troupe.
At their meeting Wednesday night, a few members of the group re-enacted comedic versions of situations from their lives. They did a few routine warm-up exercises before they played games for the remainder of their two-hour session.
"It's just like 'Whose Line is it Anyway', but we play different games," said Bryan Reynolds, Hays senior and president of the group.
It may sound like all play, but the group is very dedicated to their work. Dan Spurgin, group adviser, said they learn from practicing together. When a member worried that she wouldn't be able to keep a
straight face for one of the games,
Reiss gave her a helpful tip.
"This is your sacred quest," he said. "Do not laugh during this game."
The group members were modest when describing their talent and critical of their performances. They perform in shows and make videos together several times a year, but also support one another in individual pursuits.
Members have their own theatrical and comedic strengths. Reynolds does stand-up comedy, Spurgin is a writer, another member is a filmmaker, and so on. Reynolds compared them to an athletic team with each member having his or her own talent. Like they had done the entire evening, members chimed in with their own quips.
"I'm the guy that wipes the floor with the towel," Reis said.
"I'm the assistant coach," said another.
"You're the person who looks like Roy Williams," Reiss said.
The jibes continued between the members, their witticism gaining momentum with each new retort. The remarks did stop until the group broke up to go home.
Prospective members must audition to join the group. The group is kept small to give each member individual attention, Spurgin said.

OUR VIEW
KU needs more diversity
Another year, another step taken by the University in its initiative to diversify the student body. Minority students compromise 11.8 percent of the学生 body this fall, a number that has gradually increased over the years.
The increasing figure is a sign of progress, but the University can continue to strive for more.
A diverse campus also requires a diverse faculty and staff. The University must continue to improve efforts in attracting minority faculty to truly label itself as a diverse campus.
In 2005 the University Daily Kansan reported that minority faculty members had grown from 91 out of 1,256 - 7.2 percent in 1985, to 201 out of 1,487 - 13.5 percent in 2005. However, a net gain of minority faculty has not been achieved in the last two years.
The University needs to take a look at the initiatives used to
The University has brought in a coordinator for hiring diverse faculty and staff, but more could be implemented to attract and retain minority faculty.
recruit minority students and implement them in a way that will entice more diverse faculty members. Departments must also evaluate their staffs to find if they reflect the diversity initiatives that Chancellor Robert Hemenway instituted in 1995.
Programs such as HAWK Link, the creation of multicultural scholarship programs across campus departments and the Multicultural Resource Center have all played a crucial role in the progress of diversifying the campus.
Such programs could go a long way in continued improvements. Potential minority faculty members want to be greeted by a relatable face. They want to see what strides the University has made in attracting other minority faculty. The numbers are increasing, but there's still plenty of room to grow.
We won't find the solution this year or next, but if the University continues to make efforts to improve, the solution it not far off.

COMMENTARY
Recruitment not easy
Ah, fall formal recruitment — a week-long event in which more than 800 women attend all 13 Panhellenic sorority houses.
The members of each chapter devote an entire week before recruitment begins — spirit week — to prepare members for recruiting.
Exactly what type of preparation is needed? Months, coming from my own experience as the recruitment chairman for my chapter. Not only do the chapters contribute a hefty budget, but a tremendous amount of time as well.
I'd guess you probably saw all of us outside singing ridiculous songs in an incredibly loud tone. At other times, when our chapters appeared to be completely vacant, we were working endless hours to perfect each detail of recruitment. This preparation may sound a bit crazy to you, but it is all worth it for the main event: fall formal recruitment.
Many of you are probably asking why anyone would honestly choose to participate in 15-hour workdays rather than just casually recruit throughout the year. I have relentlessly questioned this process. After months of vigorous preparation, tears, unsuccessful orders and rentals, I can proudly say my answer for you is sisterhood.
Until Bid Day, when each woman receives her bid card to the chapter that has extended an invitation to her, we are given an extensive amount of time to get to know the women coming through recruitment. This period is an essential part of every chapter.
Throughout the year, we have the opportunity to recruit more women, if necessary, but the time spent getting to know them does not compare to the six continuous days that are essential to meeting 800 women during fall formal recruitment.
Sisterhood is the top priority of every chapter here at the University of Kansas. I have gained such an

appreciation for the women whom I have formed relationships with. They are the women who will be my lifelong friends and support system. Don't get me wrong — I continue to have many non-greek-affiliated friends who are just as much a part of my life.
People tell me time and again that sororities are just an excuse for having bizarrely-themed parties and a ridiculously extensive network of friends. I can tell you for a fact that the amount of work put forth during spirit week and fall formal recruitment is not just for socials (though thesocials are definitely something I look forward to).
So here I am in my junior year of college and still a very active member of my sorority. My sorority has not only allowed me to get involved within the Greek community, but throughout the KU and Lawrence communities as well. The experience gained through the fall formal recruitment process and the time that follows provides chapters with endless opportunities for involvement.
My position has taught me numerous reasons for why a new recruitment class is vital for the success of a chapter. Recruiting women who excel in academics and continually give back to the community is not an easy task.
Bid Day was held Saturday. From that day on begins the lifelong sisterhood of each chapter's members.
Brown is an Omaha, Neb., junior in business.

Lawrence progressives misguided in abortion debate
GUEST COMMENTARY
Recently, on these pages, a politically progressive author urged all KU students with similarly lefteaning worldviews to look inward and find new ways to advance their agenda.
The message was, "Stop blaming conservatives for doing a better job of getting their message across, and do the hard work necessary to convince the public that we're right."
In the spirit, then, of helping the Lawrence progressive community recognize a threat to its deeply-held convictions, I offer a prediction. More accurately, I'll call it a warning:
In the very near future, with little notice, the "Right of Reproductive Choice" in America will cease to exist.
Kyle Hoedl, business manager

Unless you think of something new, your only strategy to defend abortion rights is to somehow keep convincing a majority of Americans that a small defenseless living thing with human DNA, an active brain and a beating heart is not legally a person.

I saw his little heart beating on
Once they consider the absolute nature of this truism, progressives simply shut down intellectually. The champions of civil rights could never admit they've built a political institution on the same ground as misogynists, homophobes and slave owners.
Psychologists call it cognitive dissonance: the inability to deal
with a severe intellectual conflict, particularly as it relates to a pre-existing self-image. I call it an enormous blind spot.
Every single pro-choice argument rests on the cornerstone of denying an unborn child legal rights and protection. (Doubt me? Try to think of an argument that doesn't.) If that lump is really a person, then aborting it for convenience is murder; thus, progressives must never let it be defined as a person.
in 1854; how did the Supreme Court justify slavery in Dred Scott? It denied that a black man was fully a person under the law. In 1901, how did men justify the disenfranchisement of women at the ballot box? They denied that a woman was fully a person under the law.
"Choice" will end in America when conservatives consistently frame this debate as a matter of recognizing civil rights where rights have been wholly denied, an argument that is undefeated in American political debate.
And today, how do progressives justify the right to terminate a pregnancy at a woman's discretion? You know the answer — just as you also know subconsciously that conservatives can't be allowed to dwell on it in public debate.
Last semester a progressive writer, on this very page, called the fight over abortion the civil rights struggle of our time. She didn't know how right she was. It never dawned on her that she's on the same side as Jim Crow. Conservatives have figured that out, and they're not going to let you change the subject anymore.
Once people start asking the question, "Doesn't that unborn baby have any rights?" the left loses. Progressives can't answer that question, so they keep changing the subject — calling pro-lifers names like "Nazi" or "woman-hater," or squealing that somehow they're the ones who truly stand for civil rights, for women. Scream about women's rights; ignore that embryo behind the curtain.

I could see how quickly that lump of cells was becoming my son, and it made me realize that every argument I'd ever made justifying the "right of choice" was some variation of the same little neat and tidy four words: It's Not A Person.

HOROSCOPE
JON SHAFER
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 7.
》
Today is a 7 Travel is not a good idea now. Too many complications. Do the job in front of you first, and be careful about it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Today is on 8
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Today is an 8
This is not a good day to pay bills, or
review your expenses. Put all that on
hold for a while. Go out and have fun,
instead.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
Today is an 8
Just when you're at the end of your wits, a hero comes to your rescue. Don't worry about a thing; you're almost there.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
Today is an 8
Today is an 8
The more research you do, the easier it will get. There's a conflict now, regarding time, but that won't go on forever.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 7
A loved one offers criticism you don't want to hear. Listen anyway, and increase your profits.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 9
You're eager to get started, but it's not quite time yet. Continue with your preparations. Especially note the things you're most worried about. Describing them carefully helps.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Todav is a 5
Be very careful. You've got a lot on your plate already; don't take any more. The road ahead is rocky, and you could spill the entire mess.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You'll have another opportunity to spend too much, and soon. Once you get past this, you'll find more ways to make money come in, so it all works out.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a $
Eek! A confrontation has been following you for days. You can't avoid it, so turn and face it, and ask it for a gift.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19)
Today is an R
Make plans, gather data, but don't make your big move yet. There'll be a much better opportunity in the first week of September.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Todav is a 5
Don't discuss money with friends who are scraping to be by. Talk to a person who got too much, and ask how it was accomplished. You can do it, too.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
today is all 8
Avoid arguments, if you can. People are a little testy, and they're not much into compromise. The answer you seek is above that. Wait, watch and listen.

Team aims to make NCAA for fourth year
Game against Alabama A&M touches off schedule before Big 12 Conference
BY DREW DAVISON
The jayhawk volleyball team starts its season today with one thing in mind: get back to the NCAA tournament for the fourth consecutive year.
Coach Ray Bechard said this year's senior class wants to be the first class to make the tournament all four years.
"It's pretty unique because prior to them coming here, Kansas volleyball had never been to one," Bechard said. "Now, they've never known anything but NCAA tournament, and they're going to do everything they can to make that happen."
Today, the University of Kansas begins its quest against Alabama A&M in the Crimson Tide Invitational in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Although Alabama A&M might not be a household volleyball name, they have won the Southwestern Athletic Conference five years in a row and have advanced to the NCAA tournament in postseason play.
After the jayhawks take on the Bulldogs today, they have a dou
bleheader scheduled for Saturday, First, Kansas plays Miami and then Alabama, two teams that have a chance to make the NCAA tournament this season.
"As is usual, we've tried to put together a pre-conference schedule that will prepare us in the best wav
possible for what will be the most difficult Big 12 Conference season we've faced," Bechard said.
Bechard said Kansas volleyball has found its way onto the map after its success lately. However, it must
"The biggest challenge is going from good to great in this conference. It's a lot easier to go from good to average."

overcome the hurdle of taking the game to the next level.
"We're ready to make some things happen in the Big 12," she said.
"We're going to do whatever we can
"The biggest challenge is going from good to great in this conference," he said. "It's a lot easier to go from good to average."

Bechard said improving from good to great was very difficult because teams had to avoid thunderbolts like injuries, whereas good to average could happen overnight.

as a team to get there."
The Jayhawks were picked to finish seventh in the conference this season, one higher than last year's eighth-place finish.
However, Bechard said outside of Nebraska and Texas, who he thinks are National Championship caliber teams, five or six teams will be fighting for an upper-tier finish in the conference.
The team will begin preparing for the challenging conference play today.
Jana Correa, senior outside hitter,
said Kansas wanted to do one thing
at the tournament this weekend.
"Our goal is to win the tournament, of course," she said. "That's what we've been doing the past three years. We expect to win, hopefully."
Volleyball Notes:
Lima Update
Josi Lima, who anchored Kansas volleyball the last four seasons, is heading to Spain to play professional volleyball.
Lima, a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, was a four-time All Big 12 Conference selection during her days at the University.
"I'm really looking forward to moving to another country to play volleyball because I will be doing something that I love for a living." Lima said in a press release from the Athletics Department. "It will also be a great experience to learn a different culture again and adapt to a different environment."

Runners ready for first meet
BY EVAN KAFARAKIS
At the Fall Sports Media Day on Tuesday in Hadl Auditorium, cross country coach Stanley Redwine took to the podium to discuss how he felt about this season.
"We're definitely excited about this year," Redwine said.
And what's not to be excited about?
Cross Country coach Stanley Redwine talks Tuesday afternoon about the upcoming season. The women's cross country team is a young team with nine freshman this year.
On how he felt about having the target on his back, Chesang said that it was a lot of pressure.
"You can tell at meets by the way the runners and coaches are looking at you," Chesang said. "Everybody is thinking, 'I really have to get this guy'."
Chesang also said that he'd like to make history by winning his third consecutive Big 12 title.
"Benson has the desire, he wants to win," Redwine said of his veteran runner.
"It won't be easy, but Benson loves the competition and he will go out and do a good job."
The women's team also has a lot to look forward to this season.
The team welcomes nine new freshmen to a squad that tied for eighth place in the conference last year.
Junior Lisa Morrissey said the team had many seniors and juniors
"They are just going to go out and do their best and that is all we are going to ask them to do," Redwine said.
who would step into leadership roles this year.
The Jayhawks host this years Big 12 Championship at Rim Rock Farm north of Lawrence on Highway 40 on Oct. 27.
He said the home field advantage will give people the opportunity to see the team at its best.
"We have a really good product but we just don't have that many opportunities for people to see us."
Running the home course is something both the men's team and the women's team look to use as a huge advantage.
"About half of the girls on the team are from Kansas and the high
school state meet is at Rim Rock, so a lot of us have run there before," Morrise said.
The team will kick off the season running at Rim Rock on Sept. 2 at the Bob Timmons Invitational.
The teams have been doing base work up to this point and as long as the team remains healthy expect both to compete at a higher level than the program has seen in a long time.

Former Bronco faces tough fines
DENVER — Broncos coach Mike Shanahan confirmed Thursday that for Ashley Lelie to be free from the final year of his contract, the recalcitrant receiver agreed to pay the Broncos a hefty sum.
The amount is believed to be $982,000.
Not counting players' days off.
Lelie skipped 23 days of training camp, making him liable for $14,000 daily fines totaling $322,000.
The Broncos also wanted Lelie to repay a prorated portion of his $3.3 million signing bonus, which would amount to $660,000 if divided by five (because his sixth year was voided when he reached certain incentives).

time about the three-way deal that sent Lelie to Atlanta, TJ. Duckett to Washington and a conditional package of picks from the Redskins to Denver, Shanahan said at least as important as the draft day compensation was the money Lelie owed the Broncos.
"It wasn't really the pick as much as I just wanted to make sure that they knew whatever the prorated signing bonus was and whatever the fines were that that was going to be a hefty amount. That's a lot of money to pay back," Shanahan said. "And when that was agreed to, then we talked about compensation relative to what we should get for his services and we were able to do that."
Shanahan added: "We would not have released him unless he agreed to it and signed a contract to do it."
Lelie, who led the league in yards per catch the last two seasons, skipped the Broncos' offseason workout program, forging a $100,000 bonus to work out on his own in Arizona.

Kansas secondary young, but ready
After losing three key players, one to the NFL, other team members must step up
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Aqib Talib has a message for anyone who thinks Kansas' secondary is soft.
Despite losing former All-American Charles Gordon to the National Football League, Kansas' secondary, when healthy, should be improved.
"We play with a mean streak," the sophomore cornerback said. "We just try to fly around, and if you have a different color jersey on, you're not our friend at that point in time."
The defense returns two of its top tacklers and hitters, Talib and senior safety Jerome Kemp. Talib, who was named to the rivals.com freshman All-American team, led the Jayhawks with eight pass breakups and made 54 total tackles a season ago. Kemp is the team's most experienced secondary player, having made 35 starts in four seasons.
Kemp and Darrell Scully
— for at least the last week of
practice because of undisclosed
injuries. Mangino believes Kemp
may be healthy enough to play in
the season opener Sept. 2 against
Northwestern State, but Stuckey
will miss at least the first game.
Because of the injuries to Kemp and Stuckey, several younger players have been added to the mix. Freshman Olaitan Oguntodu, redshirt-freshman Justin Thornton
Kansas loses three key players from last year's secondary: Gordon, Rodney Fowler and Theo Baines, but also returns two starters. The problem for Mangino, at the moment, is that he's been without two potential starters Kerm and Darrell Sturkug
and junior Sadiq Muhammed have all seen additional playing time with the first team.
"He's a true freshman and he's been getting a lot of repetitions and you can see he's a talented guy." Mangino said.
Following last week's open practice, Mangino said he was impressed with the potential shown by Oguntodu, who graduated from his Mesquite, Texas, high school a semester early to participate in spring drills.
With the secondary expected to be thin for the Northwestern State game, it's possible that at least one of the younger players could start on opening night. But it doesn't concern Mangino.
Teammates aren't worried playing alongside their younger counterparts. They say they're not concerned because it's a problem that every team deals with each season at numerous positions.
"I expect these young kids that are coming in, they're going to play well, they're talented," Mangino said. "We'll have some growing pains, we're going to make some mistakes here and there early on, but at the end of the day, we're going to have a good defensive unit again."
"They're going to move players. They might be younger, they haven't had any game experience, it just takes pure motivation as far as being mature and stepping up and doing the job," Kemp said.

Competition level soars this season
The University of Kansas women's basketball team got off to a record-breaking start last season by winning 11 straight games in non-conference play.
Those results are going to be harder to duplicate this season with tougher non-conference games ahead for the Jayhawks. The team's schedule for the 2006-07 season was released Thursday,
The competition level is not the only thing to change in this year's non-conference schedule. Kansas will also play three of its 13 games on the road. Last season all 11 non-conference games were at Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks' first road game will be Nov. 20 against Creighton of the Missouri Valley Conference. Following a twogame home stand, the team will then travel to Madison, Wis., to face the Wisconsin Lady Badgers.
The game against the Badgers will be a rematch of last year's thriller that Kansas won in double overtime.
The final non-conference road game will take place Dec. 21 against Indiana. Games against two Big 10 Conference teams will introduce Kansas to the type of competition it can expect to be up against all season.
"The non-conference schedule will test our young team. We are anxious to see how we are able to grow and are able to prepare for a tough Big 12 schedule," coach Bonnie Henrickson said in a statement.
The first opportunity to see the team will be in early November with exhibition games against Fort Hays State and Washburn.
The regular season will begin with an appearance in the WBCA Classic in Kansas City on Nov. 11.

GOAL (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
This season both Hanley and Quinn are healthy and in Kansas' exhibition game against Drake University, the two played equal minutes. But instead of looking at their situation as an inconvenience, both goalkeepers see the bright side of having two capable starters covering the net.
"Julie's a really good goalkeeper," Quinn said, "and that pushes me even harder when I work with her."
Don't expect any of that out of Kansas' goalkeeping duo, though. Hanley and Quinn are good friends and know that whoever starts will deserve it.
Competition in practice can be positive, but the battle for positions can create problems in college sports. Just last week, an Arizona

BUFFALOES (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
With a new regime coming in, there was speculation that Crosby would jump to the NFL. Crosby stayed, though, and the All-American will give Colorado a scoring threat from near midfield. Crosby made five of seven attempts between 50 to 59 yards last season and attempted kicks from 62 to 70 yards this spring for the fans' enjoyment.
Even though Crosby carries the kicker he, he's earned the respect of his teammates - even senior All-Big 12 linebacker Thaddaeus Washington.
"He's a player. He's an athlete." Washington said.

Although Colorado has no shortage of playmakers on defense, the lack of a clear No.1 quarterback has prevented media members from predicting Colorado to repeat as North champions.
Conference media selected Colorado to finish third in the North behind Nebraska and Iowa State.
"As a team, we like being underdogs," Daniels said. "We have to go out and we have to earn every bit of respect we're going to get this year and we're excited to do that."
Washington echoed his teammates' remarks, citing that anything can happen in the North.
"I's wide open," Washington said. "You never know what's going to happen, but I guarantee you can't count the Colorado Buffalos out because we're going to be there in the end."

FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
2. A soft schedule: KU lost to Texas, Oklahoma and Texas Tech in 2005, but will play none of them in 2006. Instead, Kansas will play Baylor, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State, who had a combined record of 14-19 in 2005.
1. Kerry Meier: After KU fans had to watch the painful revolving door at quarterback last season, they will be able to watch a star in the making in redshirt-freshman Kerry Meier. Meier has drawn praise from his coaches and teammates in fall practices, and could be the missing piece
to the offense. Combine Meier with Cornish, a strong and experienced offensive line and a talented group of young receivers, and the offense has great potential in 2006.
Whatever the reason may be, it's going to be an exciting season this fall. The next time you hear the balls going off in the Campanile, just think--it's almost football season.

49er says goodbye
BY GREG BEACHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS
» NFL
The receiver wore his ring from the 49ers' 1989 Super Bowl championship team on a chain around his neck as he hugged his wife, Jackie, and shook hands with San Francisco owner John York.
Rice signed a one-day contract to retire with the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday, officially ending the receiver's matchless career back where it began.
Rice, who scored more touchdowns than anyone in league history, shed no tears during a short signing ceremony on the fields at the training complex.
owne, join us.
"I would like to put the uniform on and run on that football field, but I think it's time to move on." Rice said, gesturing toward the fields where the current 49ers were practicing. "I feel welcome here. I feel like this is my home, and this is something I'll never forget."
Rice, who will turn 44 in October, hasn't played since parting ways with the Broncos before last season, holding his first retirement news conference last September in Denver. He spent three seasons in Oakland after leaving the 49ers, then played a final year with the Seattle Seahawks.
Rice became a vagabond in his final years, still searching for another chance to prove he hadn't lost a step in his 40s. But San Francisco fans still remember Rice in his incredible prime, when he made most of his 197 touchdown receptions while playing for several powerhouse teams and three Super Bowl winners.
"He played with a burning passion that the NFL had never seen before," York said. "It's great to see him back with the 49ers."
"This is where I got my start," Rice said. "This is where my legacy is at. This is where my heart got started, and this is where I'm going to end it."
Rice's 208 total touchdowns are 33 more than second-place Emmitt Smith. Rice holds NFL records with 1,549 receptions for 22,895 yards, and also holds the top single-season marks of 1,848 yards and 22 touchdowns.

New bermuda grass surface one highlight to season opening games
BY MARK DENT
Anyone who plans to attend Kansas' opening weekend of soccer games may want to heed this simple advice: Do not blink an eye, because you could miss something.
Loyola Marymount could also prove to be a formidable foe for the Jayhawks.
"We've got a lot of new kids who are extremely fast," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "You can't coach speed; it's a good thing to have."
Today, the Jayhawks will attempt to blow by their first regular season opponent as they take on Furman at 5 p.m. On Sunday, Kansas will play host to Loyola Marymount at 1 p.m.
Both games are at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex, which has a new bermuda grass surface that will complement Kansas' run and gun ways.
"I requested this new surface because it is better for us," Francis said. "We will be able to play a lot faster, and it will really help our team."
Kansas may be fast, but its offense sagged in a preseason tie against Drake. Kansas managed to only score one point and had just four shots on goal. Francis attributed part of the offense's struggles to inexperience.
Freshmen Shannon McCabe and Kim Boyer both started at forward, and freshman Monica Dolinsky played significant minutes. Senior Jessica Kilpatrick, who sat out last season, also played on the offensive side of the ball.
"At practice we've been working a lot on offense," sophomore midfieider Jessica Bush said, "especially
on final balls and getting ready to attack."
While the players fine-tuned their offense, Francis tried to figure out a lineup. He has said his team is stacked with talent, and it showed during the Drake game. A total of 20 players got on the pitch last Friday, nearly the entire roster.
Any lineup will have to perform well today against a Furman team that finished 14-6-2 last season. The Paladins of the Southern Conference came up one victory shy of qualifying for the 2005 NCAA Tournament when they lost their conference tournament championship game.
"We tried to play a lot of people on Friday," Francis said. "This game we're just going to keep players in as long as they're doing well."
Though the Lions won only six games last season, they narrowly lost to preseason ranked Cal State Fullerton in an exhibition game this fall.
"I told my teammates I can't wait to be in front of my family and friends," senior forward Holly Gault said. "I'm excited to get out there and perform."
Kansas appears ready for any challenge that either of the two teams may bring.

Excitement increases as football approaches
MUNICIPALITY OF BURGOS
BY B.J. RAINS
KANSAN COLUMNIST
BIRAIN@KANSAN.COM
We are only eight days away from the first football game of the season, and I can already feel the chills that I get every time I hear the beginning of "Hells Bells" during the introduction of the football team before each game.
As each day passes and the Jayhawks get closer to hosting Northwestern State Sept. 2 at Memorial Stadium, the excitement and anticipation for the upcoming season seems to get bigger and bigger, something that used to not be the case.
Here are the top 10 reasons to be excited about the 2006 KU Football season:
10. The offensive line: All five starters from last season return, including Senior David Ochoa, who was recently named to the 2006 Rotary Lombardi Award Watch List, which is given to the top lineman in college football. Cesar Rodriguez and Bob Whitaker also will help anchor one of the most experienced offensive lines in the Bie 12 North.
SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 9A
9. Jon Cornish: The senior was named the team's offensive MVP in 2005 after leading the team in several statistical categories, most impressively, his 5.8 yards per carry. In his first year as the starter, look for his numbers to improve.
8. Television exposure: Two of the layhawks' five road games in 2006 will be televised on prominent networks, something that hasn't happened in some time. The Sept. 15 matchup at Toledo, Ohio, will be televised nationally by ESPN2, and the Border Showdown with Missouri over Thanksgiving weekend will be on ABC.
7. Mark Mangino: Doubts were raised last year whether Mangino was the right guy for Kansas, but he silenced his critics with the magical 4-1 finish capped off by the Fort Worth Bowl title. Mangino has turned the football program around since his arrival in 2002, and look for that trend to continue in 2006.
6. Bowl game: For the first time in school history, the KU football team has a chance to go to bowl games in consecutive years, something that will help KU football gain the national popularity that it's starting to deserve.
5. Yes indeed...Aqib Talib: After being named as a freshman All-American by rivals.com last season, sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib has the chance to solidify himself as one of the best cornerbacks in the Big 12. Talib loves to talk trash on the field, and it looks like he will be backing it up in 2006.
4. Tailgating: Some fans look forward to the drinking more than the actual game itself. What could be better than: having a beer and grilling some burgers with your friends on a fall Saturday in Lawrence?
3. Seven home games: It only takes six wins to become bowl eligible, and if the Jayhawks have the same success at home as they did in 2005, a perfect 6-0 record, then the Jayhawks will be going bowling this holiday season.
Director steps down to take commercial job
KANSAS RELAYS
Tim Weaver resigned from his position as Kansas Relays meet director Thursday to take a position with a Commercial Real Estate company in Kansas City, Mo.
Weaver had been the Relays director since 2000 and had been with Kansas track and field since 1995. His main motivation to move on was the long hours interfering with the time he spent with his family.
"Over the summer it just became more and more clear that to abuse the relays metaphor, I've got a tired set of legs here and it's a good time to hand it off to somebody new," Weaver said.
Weaver's replacement has not been named yet. Weaver said the Athletics Department had a job
description prepared and would begin the search immediately. Weaver will assist athletics director Lew Perkins in the search for the new director.
"Lew's made it very clear he wants the absolute best person available," Weaver said. "The reiays have been a big success
under Lew's tenure here by no accident. He has gotten behind this event unlike any other."

Weaver played a large role in bringing the Kansas Relays back to
Weaver
in 2000 after a two year hiatus. In 2005, he was responsible for starting GOLDZONE, which brought professional track and field athletes like Maurice Green, Marion Jones and Justin Gatin to Memorial Stadium.

The event provided record crowds the past two years, thanks to GOLDZONE; however, the Relays have been entangled in controversy since the 2006 event in April.
During a post-game party for
the Relays at Abe & Jakes Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., a fight broke out that included several athletes from the Relays. Several weeks ago news broke that Gatlin tested positive for excess testosterone and using other steroids following his team's win in the 4 x 100 meters relay at Memorial Stadium. Gatlin faces an eight-year ban from track and field because it was his second offense.
Weaver said both the incidents from the past year had nothing to do with him leaving his position with the Relays.
"This was a completely personal decision. I've always preached to my staff that we've got to focus on things that we can control," Weaver
said. "Those things that are out of our control have just really never been a factor for us."

Weaver said he planned to continue to be involved with track and field with Olympic and US National teams and will continue with other consulting gigs away from the Kansas Relays.
"Despite me moving on and any of those other things, the meet is solid and it's going to move on without a hitch," Weaver said.

Although Coach Mark Francis said that the equality of their skill levels make them virtually interchangeable, the two are friendly competitors who like to laugh and joke with each other.

Buffaloes look to keep North title
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Dan Hawkins doesn't care that Colorado won the Big 12 North title last season. The new coach is ready to shake things up.
"After practice, he'd bring golf clubs out and we'd have a closest-to-the-pin challenge or wed have an O-line/D-line seven-or-seven competition. Things like that are fun and make practice fun and make
.
"When we first started spring ball, he had us lay down and take a two-minute nap during the middle of practice," said Brian Daniels, senior offensive lineman.
On Saturday, Hawkins will try to take Colorado's offense to the same level he brought Boise State's to. In 2005, Boise State had an "off" year, compared to the previous three, and still scored 469 points. On it's way to winning the North title and playing in the Champs Sports Bowl, in Orlando, Fla., Colorado put up 305 points.
people excited to come to practice."
Although the Colorado offense will have a new look, players have adjusted well to Hawkins' up-tempo style.
"There only so many ways you can draw up a play. There's only so many plays out there."
Daniels said.
As Hawkins pieces together his high-octane offense at Colorado, he will have seven players from last year's team to work with who have starting experience. However, quarterback is the unknown variable.
Junior Brian White and senior James Cox are listed jointly on Colorado's depth chart as starters at quarterback, and while Cox has the experience, White has the momentum.
Cox appeared in seven regular season games and started in Colorado's bowl game, but didn't produce amazing numbers and struggled in the bowl game. White replaced Cox in

Where were you on September 11?
From The University Daily Kansan associate sports editor:
In high school, Tuesdays during cross country season meant taking a trip to Topeka and running timed miles at Cedar Crest, the governor's mansion. Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001, was a day that changed everything, but not cross country practice.
I remember arriving at the governor's mansion and seeing the flags flying at half-staff. After parking, Cedar Crest security officers came out to search our cars and to make sure that we were not carrying anything
dangerous.
We were finally allowed to continue with our practice, but it was not the same as the week before. The Kansan is looking for what you remember about Sept. 11.

Plan B will be easier to get
Emergency contraceptive will soon be available over the counter
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Emergency contraceptive Plan B will be available over the counter later this year for women 18 and older, after a decision made by the Federal Drug Administration last Friday.
If taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex, Plan B is 89 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. According to the FDA's Web site, Plan B will be available only in pharmacies or stores staffed by a licensed pharmacist. The drug will be kept behind the counter
and proof of identification will be required for purchase.
Cathy Thrasher, Watkins Memorial Health Center Chief Pharmacist, said she thought the drug should stay prescription only.
"I think there's a benefit to being seen by a heath care provider to discuss issues of contraception because it ties into your general health and wellbeing." she said.
With the drug available over the counter, Thrasher said people may miss out on discussing important health issues with their doctor.
Nevertheless, the drug will be available over the counter at
Watkins, 1200 Schwegler Drive, as soon as over-the-counter packaging is ready.
Thrasher said for products to be sold over the counter there are strict federal guidelines about what needs to be on the label because the patient never visits with a doctor.
Watkins currently carries Plan B by prescription only. Students now pay $14 for Plan B, which includes two pills. Thrasher said she didn't know if the price would change once the drug is sold over the counter.

Fiddlers still play on Saturday, downpour cancels Sunday's competition at park
BY DARLA SLIPKE
People waited in the pouring rain huddled together under umbrellas, tree branches and the South Park gazebo for 45 minutes Sunday only to hear that the annual state fiddling and picking championship was canceled.
The competition was called off for the first time in its 26-year history because of the deluge. About 50 people were registered to compete, but officials said people were still asking to sign up right up until the event was canceled.
Diane Gillenwater, an instructor at the Americana Music Academy, 1419 Massachusetts, said that eight of her students were unable to perform.
"I'm disappointed for them," she said. "They worked really hard to get ready."
The event was not a total washout. People were still able to celebrate their love of music at a jam session held Saturday evening in South Park, 12th and Massachusetts streets, as a prelude to Sunday's competition.
Saturday's jam session was a chance for everyone to play together.

After a morning of overcast skies, rain began to pour during the band's second song. The decision was later made to cancel the competition, which will not be rescheduled.

Proposal attempts to save The Crossing
A new plan for the redevelopment of the corner of 11th and Indiana streets would attempt to combine Yello Sub and The Crossing as a way to save the Lawrence landmarks.
The proposal came about following the Historic Resources Commission's denial of the original proposal last Tuesday. The next step is to make changes to the proposal and appeal to the city commission either in September or October, depending when the proposal can be re-written.
In response, Jeff Morrow, owner of Yello Sub, at an Oread Neighborhood Association meeting on Saturday, comprised of those living on the north side of campus, introduced a new building model he thought would be better received by neighbors.
Morrow's proposal had many differences from the original building in the proposal, but followed the same concept.
His building is a "prairie style" structure that would incorporate the character defining features of the Hancock District, and would be 22 feet shorter than the "new urbanism" style building that was originally proposed.

Spotlight on Organizations SWAT
A typical SWAT team comes armed with mace and high-powered rifles, ready to undertake a hazardous operation.
BY MEGAN HIRT
However, the special weapons and tactics employed by members of KU SWAT include plot and setting, allusion and irony.
Officially titled "Student Writer's Association, The," SWAT began in the spring of 2005 with the mission of fostering a richer creative writing environment at the University.
Natalie McAllister, Topeka senior and one of the organization's founders, describes SWAT as "a place to be heard." Whether searching for an audience, an opportunity to be published or a network of other budding wordsmiths, student writers can fulfill their creative whims through all things SWAT.
McAllister calls SWAT "a supplemental creative writing class" because of the meetings' workshops, in which writers can receive peer feedback on their work. A second-hand perspective is often all a stumped writer needs to overcome a block, or to lay those final, perfecting touches to a story.
The literary journal Comma,
Splice made its debut on campus last
spring. The journal allows all KU students, including those who may be excluded from other publications because they are not in an English class or a writing-focused major, to have their creative writing published.
This year, SWAT received additional funding from Student Senate, which will allow the organization to produce Comma, Splice in greater quantity and quality. McAllister, editor of Comma, Splice, also hopes to print editions of the journal for both the fall and spring semesters and focus more on poetry.
KU professors regularly visit the meetings to discuss careers in the
creative writing field and offer further ideas for getting published.
The organization has 85 student members, and writers of all experience and genres are welcome. Anyone interested in joining SWAT should e-mail kuswat@yahoo.com with a request to be added to the mailing list, which issues information on upcoming meetings and activities.

Students disobey dress code, kicked out of class
HAMMOND, Ind. — Classrooms were a little less crowded at Morton High School on the first day of classes. Fed up with inappropriate outfits, the principal suspended 128 students for one day Wednesday, minutes after doors opened at the school.
The offending attire — including baggy pants, low-cut shirts, tank tops and graphic T-shirts
— are banned from classrooms.
Old fashioned outlaw robs elderly gamblers, escapes
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A man wielding a silver revolver and wearing a bandana mask stepped aboard a casino shuttle bus and robbed seven elderly passengers and the driver. Police are calling it "the stagecoach robbery."
The Ramblin' Express had made the 20-mile trip to Colorado Springs from Cripple Creek late Thursday when the man climbed on, told the riders and driver they could keep their wedding rings but
demanded their other valuables, police Sgt. Scott Schwall said. The man fled and police dogs could not pick up his trail.
Schwall said "it would be more productive to rob them on the way up."
Judge upset with cell phones that ring in court
CROWN POINT, Ind. — If you next find yourself in Judge Diane Boswell's courtroom, leave the cell phone at home. Boswell detained and questioned a row of spectators when a phone rang for a third time in her courtroom.
One spectator, Cynthia Cannon, agreed to pay a $100 fine after admitting that her phone was one of those that went off.
Another spectator, Verdell Berry Jr., said he had two phones. One was off, the other he turned off when Boswell warned the gallery about the phones. The sound of it powering down is what she heard, Berrv said.
A third spectator, Shonique Freeman, said she knew it was Berry's phone, but she didn't tattle on him. The judge ordered both Berry and Freeman to serve 40 hours of community service.

SPEAKERS
Lecture series season begins Hall Center for the Humanities attracts speakers to KU who inform, educate
BY DARLA SLIPKE
The Humanities Lecture Series exposes students to other cultures and struggles within the global community and challenges them to think critically about the world around them, Maria Carlson, professor of Slavic languages and literature. said.
"Turn on your TV or go to your favorite news site, and you will see the potential and real costs of cultural illiteracy," Carlson said.
Carlson is one of six speakers including an evolutionary theorist, a feminist, a post-modern Socrates raised in Ghana and a sociologist, who will be part of this year's series.
The series has brought speakers who discuss social, political and
other issues to the University of Kansas for 50 years.
National Public Radio personnel Andrei Codrescu is the first speaker of the 2006-07 series. He will speak about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina at 7:30 p.m. tonight at the Lied Center.
"Students should come listen to smart speakers because 98 percent of what they shovel into their brains is trash." Codrescu said. "Pop culture now has bigger gobs of exploitative crap in it than it ever did."
Carlson also emphasized the importance of attending lecture events.
"You don't have to agree with everything the speakers say, but you should let them challenge you; you
should take that opportunity to test your ideas and world view against theirs," Carlson said. "That's how you grow."
Victor Bailey, director of the Hall Center for the Humanities, located south of Stauffer-Flint, said this year they've tried to make the series a community event, not just a campus function.
"We try to get speakers who the public know, not just faculty," Bailey said.
Although a large portion of the audience were usually members of the Lawrence and campus communities, Bailey said people from nearby towns also come.
Many factors play into the selection of speakers. Bailey said people
write letters suggesting speakers, while a committee meets to suggest more names and prioritize the possibilities. The committee also considers cost and then whether or not the speakers can come at a suitable time.
In addition to speaking to a large crowd, many of the speakers in the series will also speak to a smaller, more intimate group in the Hall Center Conference Hall on the day after their lecture.
All of the lectures are free.

Robots created by a scientific group at the University of Kansas will hopefully travel to both the North and South Poles someday to monitor seismic activity at the poles. The purpose of the robots is to sense vibrations in the ground in areas that humans cannot go.
As of now, the designing stages are complete. This fall, the designs will be submitted in an academic paper for a competition in San Francisco.
Vionette Dechoudens, San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico graduate student, prepares a calcium carbonate sample for stable isotopic analysis. Through research in various sciences, recruiting minority students is continually being emphasized. The University of Kansas and Elizabeth City State University paired up to increase diversity in the sciences.
The Undergraduate Research Experience, REU, with the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets, CReSIS, was joined by Chienice Arthur and Bryce Carmichael who visited Kansas this summer from Elizabeth City State University in North Carolina for a 10-week immersion program in the sciences.

The University paired with the predominantly African-American
university in one of many efforts to increase the number of interested multicultural students in the sciences. The School of Engineering has also incorporated a diversity program to reach minority students.
Arvin Agah, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science, worked with both Arthur and Carmichael to design the robots. Agah said the program aimed to recruit minority students to work in the sciences following their undergraduate work.
"The ultimate goal is to get the students interested to pursue graduate degrees, whether it is at KU or somewhere else," Agah said. "Even if they pursue graduate degrees somewhere else, we've succeeded."
Science Foundation stated that 2.8 percent of scientist and engineer docu

and 15.8 percent were Asian.
Kelly Mason, project coordinator for CReSIS, said CReSIS and REU students were selected according to their promise of long-term commitment to research in the sciences, such as electrical engineering, geography, geology and computer science.
Florence E. Boldridge, director of Diversity Programs for the School of Engineering, worked to recruit committed students into the sciences. Boldridge oversees many organizations at the University to encourage minority engineers to succeed, such as the National Society of Black Engineers and the American Indian Science Engineers Society. Boldridge said the University incorporated the diversity programs after realizing low enrollment from minorities.
The School of Engineering employs a full-time recruiter with a special emphasis in recruiting multicultural students. Dawnelle Prince attends college fairs gared toward
minority students as part of her work as director of recruitment for the School of Engineering. Prince also assists in a Celebration of Excellence and Diversity program. Potential multicultural engineering students receive $2,000 toward their education just for attending the event if they meet the School of Engineering admission requirements.
Prince said programs like these are important to academic success on campus for all students, whether they are a minority or not.
"It provides current students with a well-rounded education," Prince said. "It provides students from all backgrounds with experience and improves the level of education."

Jet attempts take off on wrong runway, 49 killed
BY JEFFREY MCMURRAY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEXINGTON, Ky. — A commuter jet mistakenly trying to take off on a runway that was too short crashed into a field Sunday and burst into flames, killing 49 people and leaving the lone survivor — a co-pilot — in critical condition, federal investigators said.
Preliminary flight data from Comair Flight 5191's black box recorders and the damage at the scene indicate the plane, a CRJ-100 regional jet, took off from the shortest runway at Lexington's Blue Grass Airport, National Transportation Safety Board member Debbie Hersman said.
The 3,500-foot-long strip, with less lighting and barely half the length of the airport's main runway, is only intended for daylight takeoffs and not for commercial flights. The twin-engine CRJ-100 would have needed 5,000 feet to fully get off the ground, aviation experts said.
It wasn't immediately clear how the plane ended up on the shorter runway in the predawn darkness. There was a light rain Sunday, and the strip veers off at a V from the main runway, which had just been repaved last week.
"We will be looking into performance data, we will be looking at the weight of the aircraft, we will be looking at speeds, we will pull all that information off," Hersman said.
The Atlanta-bound plane plowed through a perimeter fence and crashed in a field less than mile from the end of that runway at about 6:07 a.m. Aerial images of the crash site in the rolling hills of Kentucky's horse country showed trees damaged at the end of the short runway and the nose of the plane almost parallel to the small strip.
When rescuers reached it, the plane was largely intact but in flames. A police officer burned his arms dragging the only survivor from the cracked cockpit.
The flames kept rescuers from reaching anyone else aboard, including a newlyed couple starting their honeymoon, a Florida man who had caught an early flight home to be

with his children and a University of Kentucky official among them.
"They were taking off, so I'm sure they had a lot of fuel on board." Fayette County Coroner Gary Ginn said. "Most of the injuries are going to be due to fire-related deaths."
FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown said the agency had no indication that terrorism was involved in any way in what was the country's worst domestic plane crash in five years.
It's rare for a plane to get on the wrong runway, but "sometimes with the intersecting runways, pilots go down the wrong one," said Saint Louis University aerospace professor emeritus Paul Cyzsz.

The worst such crash came on Oct. 31, 2000, when a Los Angeles-bound Singapore Airlines jumbo jet mistakenly went down a runway at Taiwan's Chiang Kai-Shek International Airport that had been closed for repairs because of a recent
typhoon. The resulting collision with construction equipment killed 83 people on board.
Comair President Don Bonnorhorst said maintenance for the plane that crashed Sunday was up to date and its three-member flight crew was experienced and had been flying that airplane for some time.
"We are absolutely, totally committed to doing everything humanly possible to determine the cause of this accident," Bornhorst said. "One of the most damaging things that can happen to an investigation of this magnitude is for speculation or for us to guess at what may be happening."
Most of the passengers aboard the flight had planned to connect to other flights in Atlanta and did not have family waiting for them, said the Rev. Harold Boyce, a volunteer chaplain at Atlanta's Hartsfield-jackson airport.

CROSSING (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"For my presentation, there was an attempt to speak to the rules associated with development in the environs of a historic district," Morrow said. "Staff was kind enough to provide detailed descriptions of the historic nature of the district and in particular the character defining features of that district."
Morrow said he decided to design his own building model because he felt the proposition put forth by the developers wasn't ideal.
"I have some knowledge and experience here at this location and it was an appropriate time for me to put my two cents in," he said.
Debbie Milks, Oread neighborhood resident, said she approved of redevelopment, but she was concerned with the "massive size" of

the originally proposed building. Morrow's model got a more favorable response from members of the Oread group, with the exception of some outcry from members when Morrow said he wanted to expand the outdoor drinking area The Crossing currently had.
Developer Robert Pottrroff, the Manhattan attorney who initially proposed the reconstruction, was not present at the meeting.
The original plan called for the demolition of The Crossing, Yello Sub and a house at 1142 Indiana to make way for a five-story, mixed-using building that would combine 15 luxury condominiums and three retail shops.
The Historic Resources Commission's report stated that because the proposed building was located within the environs of the Hancock District and the Snow House, 706 W. 12th St., both listed
on National Register of Historic Places, it would not be approved. The report alluded to the proposed building's lack of "character defining features" and the demolition in a historic area as the main reasons for its denial.
Brian Foxworthy, an architect with Incite Design Studio and author of the original plan, wasn't surprised the initial proposal was denied.
"We really weren't naive enough to think that we were going to come in and get this thing done right off the bat," Foxworthy said. He added that some compromises would have to be made.

"It's so tragic because he was so happy last night," said Keith Madison, who coached Hooker's baseball team at the University of Kentucky and attended the wedding. "It's just an incredible turn of events. It's really painful."
Among those killed were a newlywed couple starting their honeymoon. Jon Hooker, a former minor-league baseball player, had just married Scarlett Parsley the night before the crash in a fairy tale wedding ceremony complete with a horse-drawn carriage and 300 friends.
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said President Bush, who is spending a long weekend at his family's summer home on the Maine coast, was being briefed on the crash.
The crash marks the end of what has been called the "safest period in aviation history" in the United States. There has not been a major crash since Nov. 12, 2001 when American Airlines Flight 587 plunged into a residential neighborhood in Queens, N.Y., killing 265 people, including five on the ground.

As a prescription, Plan B costs $39.88 at Wal-Mart, but Donaldson said most drugs go down in price when they become available over the counter.
Wal-Mart pharmacies will also carry Plan B. Michelle Donaldson, relief staff pharmacist at several Wal-Mart pharmacies in Lawrence, Bonner Springs and Leavenworth said she expected over-the-counter Plan B to be available within a month.
Prescription Plan B isn't in high demand at Wal-Mart pharmacies. Donaldson said she's only filled one prescription for the drug in the past six months, but she's sure that will change once it's available over the counter.
Access to morning-after pill
Donaldson said as a pharmacist, it's important to tell patients how to use Plan B. She said she will be more detailed giving patients information about Plan B because it has to be taken exactly right for it to work.
"We've already had someone come in and ask for it today," she said on Saturday.
Barr Pharmaceuticals has been granted approval to sell the morning-after pill to women over 18 without a prescription. Currently, nine states do not require a prescription under certain conditions.

》 OUR VIEW
A drunken driver in an old, beat-up truck weaves through traffic on a crowded highway.
Residence hall occupants who forgo ResNet connections and instead use wireless access points could cause similar havoc to the KU network.
Stealing Internet not cool
It was recently discovered that several students were using wireless routers to set up personal wireless networks in Templin and McCollum halls, and Watkins, Sellards, Douthart, Stephenson, K.K. Amini and Margaret Amini scholarship halls. By setting up a personal wireless network, one student can buy Internet service and then provide it to other students without charge.
OPINION
The truck smashes into another vehicle, causing several cars to crash. Minutes later, paramedics wade through the wreckage, attending to the wounded. Traffic backs up several miles.
John Lewis, director of network and telecommunications, compares the Lawrence campus' network to the U.S. highway system. Both have standards that must be followed to ensure security of their users and public resources. Lewis says the security of the cheap, student-installed wireless
access points can be breached in less than a minute.
Students using wireless networks would not be the only ones affected by a security breach, he says. Someone with baleful intent could infect multiple computers with viruses, which could lead to individual computer damage, campus-wide network shutdowns and incredible financial loss.
Residence hall occupants are getting a relatively good deal. ResNet charges only $83.25 per semester for Internet access, which costs less than Sunflower Broadband charges for a similar product. ResNet also provides free, on-call tech support, unlike Sunflower Broadband.
Students will get wireless Internet soon anyway. The University plans to install wireless access points in residence hall common areas probably by this time next year, Lewis says.
The University spends about $10 million dollars a year on computer technology. So don't be that drunken driver who crashes our information highway.

I've got news for you: The University Daily Kansan isn't just a newspaper.
It's entertainment: the crossword and Sudoku...
It's your voice: Free for All and letters to the editor.
It's sports: A reporter covering each KU varsity sport as well as reporters dedicated to club sports and intramurals.
It's a watchdog: 15 news reporters looking out for students' interests and catching those who would misuse the power they have.
It's information: Thousands of words, hundreds of stories, dozens of pictures produced for students by students every semester.
Bottom line? We know you turn to us for what we provide, not the way it looks. But in order to get that information, you have to be able to find it.
The Kansan has put a lot of time into the physical appearance of all its products. We've redesigned our printed product to be more inviting to the eye and so the stories jump off the page. We've redesigned our Web site to put content out front.

COMMENTARY
My parents, conservative Chinese immigrants, never felt comfortable talking to me about sex. The only real discussion about sex that I remember my father and I ever having was when he pointed at a scantily clad woman in the mall and told me she was "nasty."
Years later, my older sister, a medical school student, took it upon herself to teach me what she felt was essential when it came to the birds and the bees. Her way of doing this was as heartfelt and tender as an after-school TV special. When I was a freshman in college, she showed me medical school text-books with pictures of various STDs and asked me to study them.
"You can get Chlamydia in your eye," she said as casually as one would comment on the weather.
"No way!" I said.
"You can get herpes in your eyes too."
When I cringed, she continued with vivid stories of disgusting, infected penises and vaginas that she saw during her week working at a sexual health clinic.

"Don't have sex," she said seriously as I stared at her, terrified.
Looking at the United States' abstinence-only education, it appears that my family was not in the minority in this country when it came to an uneasiness about the topic of sex. 'The current sex education curriculum consists of advocating abstinence until marriage and
does not provide information about contraception or STDs.
Apparently adults are not only prudish about their children's sexuality, but their own as well. Sites such as www.inspot.org provide an example of this. Through this site, one could send anonymous e-cards to past sexual partners, informing them that the sender has an STD and that the recipient should seek immediate testing.
Imagine checking your e-mail to find an anonymous message stating, "You have The Clap and possibly syphilis!" You might be tempted to discard it the way you would if you read that someone could increase your penis size to rival Ron Jeremy's or that you won a billion dollars and an iPod. Yet, you might also be incredibly terrified.
The idea of the site is noble enough, but one important problem with it is that because of its anonymity, there is no way to monitor e-mails sent as pranks. Furthermore, I question the ethics of a site such as this. Although contracting an STD may be humiliating, is it really fair to your partners to send them an anonymous warning instead of telling them it was you who possibly infected them?
Another thing that bothered me about this site was that it didn't have any statistics of the people who used it, which made me wonder, are tons of kids my age using this? Or worse, are they not bothering to tell their past lovers at all?
How alarming. After all, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 19 million new STD infections a year and that half of those infections occur in the 15-to-24-year-old age group.
What can we as college students do? The best solution is to practice abstinence or be in a monogamous relationship, but for those whose horiness just cannot be contained, a HealthyLife guide provided by the KU Web site lists a few suggestions:
For one, always use condoms or latex dams, and don't use oil-based lubricants. Next, don't have sex while drunk or high and limit your number of sexual partners. Lastly, discuss your sexual history with a new partner and avoid anyone whose health status and past are unknown.
One can choose to follow these tips, or one can choose to have drunken sex with some hairy dude from the bar. Please choose the former. It would suck to get that www.inspot.org e-mail for real.

BROOKLYN
BY SAM SCHNEIDER
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
We're at the beginning of a new school year and the sidewalks on campus have filled with masses of people. The drive across town is once again punctuated by red lights and congested streets. The empty shops and relaxed feeling of summer have fled and the need to study grips us all over again.
So, as we prepare to dash through another semester of stress and late nights at Java Break, I want to offer a reminder that we should be careful not to lose our focus about the important things in life. Though we should certainly work hard, we shouldn't spend a ridiculous amount of worry on achievement.
Somewhere in the middle of each semester I begin to think that all this stress of school will make me more successful in life. When I sit at my computer in the early morning, punching out the final edit for some paper, I remind myself that it will be worth it in the long run, that I'll be a better person for having done the extra work.
I was on my way to class the other day, caught no doubt in the midst of pursuing another day of academic success, when I chanced to look up at Allen Fieldhouse. At first, I admired the way the new addition blends into the structure, the stone work, and the classic statue of Phog Allen.
So here's what I think: While we should work hard, we should also slow down a bit. Maybe we ought to volunteer for fewer organizations, maybe study less for a test every now and again. Let's focus on tending to those simple, happy moments. Certainly there is a time for work, and in that time we should work hard, but let's be careful not to allow work to dominate times that should be for other things.
How fitting a place, I thought, to host such a thing as Kansas basketball. Then I lowered my eyes away from the stone and down to the stretch of lawn between me and the Phog.
I certainly agree that hard work has its benefits. Yet, in thinking back to my favorite moments here at the University of Kansas, none of them have been success-related. I have rarely found true joy in passing a final, but quite often experienced intense happiness in seeing the upper windows of Allen Fieldhouse ablaze with the excitement of 16,000 people.
Apparently the University and I both forget to care for the little things sometimes. The entire lawn lies cracked and broken, shot through with weeds. Here stands this majestic structure, yet when viewed from a distance, it appears shabby and unkempt. It looks this way not because of a single problem with the building itself, but because of a lack of care for something as simple, but important, as a stretch of grass.
I am not advocating flunking out of school, only that in the midst of trying to be successful, we should remember that life consists of far more important things than success.

Fox Drama'24'takes home three,front-runner'Grey's Anatomy'none
BY LYNN ELBER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The ground-breaking action series "24," which turns one dangerous day into a season, found a satisfying end Sunday as it won three Emmys, including for best drama series and best actor for star Kiefer Sutherland. "The Office" was honored as best comedy.
One Emmy front-runner, sexy medical drama "Grey's Anatomy," was shut out in the awards.
that evening." Sutherland said. "This experience on '24' has been nothing but remarkable for me."
Mariska Hargaty of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and Julia Dreyfus of the freshman comedy "The New Adventures of Old Christine" struck Emmy gold with lead actress awards for drama and comedy, respectively.
"Every once in a while you'll have an evening that just reminds you that you're given too much and this is
"Well, I'm not somebody who really believes in curses — but curse this, baby," Louis-Dreyfus said hoisting her trophy and making a veiled reference to the so-called "Seinfeld curse" that kept three of its stars from launching successful new series.
'24,'Office'win Emmys
The Emmy ceremony initially followed a predictable path Sunday as Tony Shalhoub won his third acting trophy for "Monk" and departed series "Will & Grace," "The West Wing" and "Huff" earned bittersweet toasts.
"I just want to say it's gratifying to be chosen from such a distinguished group of losers — actors," Shalhoub joked in accepting the award for best actor in a comedy.
Winning didn't take the sting out of cancellation for at least one star.
"It's not supposed to work this way, is it, when you say goodbye to something?" said Blythe Danner,

Jeremy Piven of "Entourage" was named best supporting actor in a comedy.

The surprises in the ceremony were courtesy of host Conan O'Brien and his inventive comedy bits, including a running gag that had Bob Newhart's life threatened if the show ran long.

Aaron Spelling, the prolific producer who died in June at 83, was paid often-tearful tribute by his one-time stars, including Jaclyn Smith,

"Yes. It's very simple. If the Emmys run one second over, Bob Newhart dies," O'Brien said," as Newhart's dead deadpan expression showed a tinge of alarm. "So keep those speeches short, ladies and gentlemen. Bob Newhart's life in your hands."
"The Daily Show with Jon Stewart."
Stewart was moderately self-effacing in his speech, saying after the first honor: "I think this year you actually made a terrible mistake. But thank you."
"American Idol," the blockbuster TV talent show, lost again in the reality-competition category as "The Amazing Race" picked up its fourth award.
Barry Manilow collected an Emmy for the special "Barry Manilow: Music and Passion."
Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report," presenting the reality award, took the opportunity to vent about being eclipsed by Manilow's special in the variety, music or comedy program category.
"I lost to Barry Manilow ... I lost to the Copacabana," wailed Colbert.

Freshmen to fill Vince Young's 'Texas-sized shoes'
BY SHAWN SHROYER
HOOKER
TEXAS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Texas freshman quarterback Jeann Snead looks toward a receiver during practice Aug. 8. B Austin, the Longhorns haven't started a season with a freshman quarterback since 1993.
Success hasn't changed Texas coach Mack Brown since getting the proverbial monkey off his back and winning the national championship last season.
"Coach Brown is the same guy that recruited me 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."
After taking a redshirt last season, freshman Colt McCoy is the leading candidate to succeed Young. Freshman Jevan Snead, who enrolled at Texas in January, will be McCoy's competition at quarterback.
The Texas roster, on the other hand, has changed since last year – but not much. The Longhorns return seven starters on each side of the ball, although the few losses stick out like a sore thumb.
The loss getting the most publicity is the loss of Vince Young at quarterback with only a pair of freshmen to fill his Texas-size shoes.
Even after Texas' spring game, no clear cut No. 1 emerged. McCoy was 7-for-11 for 75 yards, barely outdone by Snead's 9-for-13 for 97 yards, one touchdown performance.
At the Big 12 Media Days in July, Brown said McCoy's extra semester of experience gave him the advantage and made the rest of the offense more comfortable with him.
"Colt's just been there longer," Brown said. "So, it's a very difficult thing for levan to come in in January and be pushed right into the offense."
The Longhorns also lost sophomore running back Ramonce Taylor when he left in July, but have two players returning who started at the position last season.
Sophomore running back Jamaal Charles started three games last season, rushing for 878 yards and 11 touchdowns. Senior running back Selvin Young started five games last
season and rushed for 461 yards and eight touchdowns.
Junior wide receiver Limas Sweed has started 20 straight games and leads a trio of returning starters at the receiver position. Last year, Sweed collected 545 receiving yards and five touchdowns.
Texas' offensive line will feature three senior returning starters who garnered All-Big 12 honors last season. Justin Blalock returns to his right tackle spot, Kasey Studdard returns to his left guard spot and Lyle Sendlein will be at center again.
Heading into the season, the line knows what their first priority will be.
"With youth and inexperience at the quarterback position,it's really important for us to give them protection," Blalock said.
On defense, the Longhorns will have to replace defensive tackle Rodrigue Wright, cornerback Cedric Griffin and safety Michael Huff, who are now in the NFL, and linebacker Aaron Harris, who was named third-tier All-American last season.

season.
Although known more for his punt returning skills, Ross will try to make a name for himself on defense in 2006. Ross started just two games at corner last season, but still recorded 62 tackles and three interceptions.
Ross will join returning starters and seniors Tarell Brown, cornerback, and Michael Griffin, strong safety. Griffin's brother Marcus could fill the free safety spot.
"We have a couple guys in the slot for free safety and they're doing a great job in camp so far," Ross said.
More important than finding new starters, the Longhorns are searching for a new leader. Young was the team's unquestioned leader last year. Now Texas needs a new leader to step up.
Despite the losses, Ross said the team believes in itself. Instead of a single player, an entire unit might lead the team. With added pressure on the defense, Brown said it might

"We do think now with Young leaving that it'll motivate our defense to play better because he would pull you out of some trouble and it'll make us protect the ball better," Brown said.

"I played okay, helping the team," Correa said. "I feel really good about my knee."
The Jayhawks dominated the Bulldogs from the beginning. In the first game, Kansas started with a 6-0 run before Alabama A&M scored their first point. Kansas recorded 10 aces, nine blocks and a .512 attacking percentage in the first game. In game two, the Jayhawks scored 18 straight points, holding
to the Bulldogs to single digit points.
To complete the sweep, Kansas started the third game 16-0, cruising to the victory. Correa had a career high .765 attack percentage in the game.
Saturday the Jayhawks had to comeback after losing the first game, to beat Miami 3-1; 23-30,
30-28, 30-25, 30-23. Correa led the team again with 16 kills and 10 digs. Savannah Noyes, sophomore
middle blocker, had a career high 14 kills. Brown added 11 kills and 26 assists helping the Jayhawks comeback for the win.
Saturday night did not go the Jayhawks way. Host Alabama swept Kansas, 21-30, 20-30, 18-30. The first match was close, tied 16-16 at one point, however, five late errors proved to be costly for the Jayhawks. In game three, Kansas committed 15 errors, and had a -122 attacking
percentage, as Alabama was able to down Kansas.
The Jayhaws home opener against UMKC is at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Horese Family Athletics Center.

Golfers gain experience in summer play
Several Jayhawks prepare for season by competing in state, national amateur tournaments
BY ASHER FUSCO
Two top-five finishes propelled senior Gary Woodland to 22nd place in the national amateur golf rankings this summer.
Woodland and his teammates on the Kansas men's golf team used their summers to hone their skills and gain experience by competing in various tournaments across the nation.
Woodland finished second in the medal play competition of the Western Amateur in Benton Harbor, Mich., and made the trip
to Niagara Falls, N.Y., where he tied for fourth place in the Porter Cup.
Woodland was already among the most experienced golfers on the Kansas roster. He used his time away from Lawrence to build on an already impressive repertoire, and his work with a sports psychologist could lead to heightened confidence on the course.
"This summer I worked on the mental aspect of my game," Woodland said. "It's important to have the confidence to know I can compete with the best players in the world."

Fans meet, greet seven freshmen at picnic
Jayhawk enthusiasts gather for the 2006 Welcome Back Picnic
BY CASE KEEFER
Around 100 eager Jayhawk women's basketball fans gathered at Centennial Park Saturday.
The 2006 Welcome Back Picnic was an opportunity for enthusiasts to interact with the team and anticipate the upcoming season in the beautiful weather at the park, Ninth and Iowa streets.
"Mother Nature was a Jayhawk today, not a Wildcat," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. Early reports of possible afternoon showers were nowhere to be found.
One by one, all the players had a chance to briefly tell a little about themselves and what they did this summer.
After having a chance to meet, converse and eat lunch, fans were treated to a brief program in which all the players on the roster, including the seven freshmen, introduced themselves.
"It was just something I had always wanted to do." Smith said.
Senior guard Sharita Smith's introduction received the biggest reaction from the crowd. Smith shared her most exciting summer experience: bungee jumping.
Henrickson shook her head at
that statement. Smith insists she has nothing to worry about and that although exciting, bungee jumping comes no where close to being on the basketball court.
Freshmen Rebecca Feickert said that she is just enjoying being a Jayhawk.
After the program ended, the children at the event played water balloon games and ran sack races with the team.
During this time, the tight-knit group of women's basketball fans stuck around to visit with the coaches.
By the time people started to leave, their mood was estatic in hopes that this season would be a special one.
"Today was important for both groups," Henrickson said. "It gives our players a chance to thank the fans for their tremendous support and for the fans, it's a great way to get to know these players and say thank you."
Smith enjoyed the event and loves interacting with the people who will be in the stands watching the team compete when the season starts.
"It feels good to be around people that really support us and want to talk to us. They want to talk about
basketball, what classes were taking, and everything." Smith said.
The picnic was a great way to wrap up the summer as the team enters the next phase of preparation. Until November, the fall semester will be all about getting into the daily routine of classes and practice.
"We've been on the court for a week now and we're already excited and anxious," Henrickson said.
Smith is also eager as the season rolls closer and is sure her team feels the same way.
"We're learning a lot as we go. The freshmen are really getting good at learning the system," Smith said.
The team's togetherness and competitive spirit shined even in something as small as a game of catching water balloons. The women laughed and challenged each other until senior Shaquina Mosley outlasted the rest and won the game.
The women's basketball team hopes these elements translate into a successful season come November.

Emily Brown garners award helps team to 2-1 record
BY DREW DAVISON
Emily Brown was named to the all-tournament team at the Academy Sports/Crimson Tide Invitational. When asked about being selected to the tournament team, Brown said jokingly, "Can I say no comment?"
Lacey Novak, senior forward, trys to kick past Rachel Fry, sophomore midfielder, during the first half of Friday's shutout game against Furman University. Novak scored one of the Jayhawk's three points, her first goal since her freshman year.
Brown, junior setter, said being named to the team was more a reflection on the Kansas team than on her.
The jayhawk volleyball team started its season in Tuscaloosa, Ala., and left with a record of 2-1.
KANSAS 12 15
"I think we played well," said Jana Correa, senior outside hitter. "There were our ups and downs. We still have a lot to work on."
Kansas swept Alabama A&M Friday to start the tournament, 30-17, 30-8, 30-14. Kansas beat Miami in its first game on Saturday before being swept by host Alabama in its night game. The tournament was held at Coleman Auxiliary Volleyball Extension on Alabama's campus, known as the CAVE.

"We were hot and cold Saturday," coach Ray Bechard said. "We beat a good team Saturday but 'Bama was really good Saturday night. Overall, we learned a lot."
Kansas shuts out Furman despite slow first-half start
Bechard said serving and passing are the two areas he would like the Jayhawks to excel in. Throughout the weekend, Bechard said the serving was solid, however, their passing gave them problems against Alabama.

"She had freshman moments," Bechard said. "That means she did a lot of good things for us, but at times she looked inexperienced out there. Her learning curve is sharp and she'll improve as she grows more comfortable."
Another question mark heading into the season was the middle-blocker position. After junior Natalie Uhart suffered a season-ending injury, the team looked to freshman Brittany Williams to become the starter.
In the Alabama A&M game Friday, Correia showed she is fully healthy this season, after recovering from a knee injury, leading the team with 14 kills.

Sara Rogers couldn't have picked a better time to score her first career goal.
With Kansas struggling throughout almost the entire first half, the sophomore forward scored the first goal in Kansas 3-0 victory against Furman on Friday.
Senior defender Nikki Alvarez controlled the ball just past midfield, while Rogers streaked toward the goal.
Alvarez fired the ball in Rogers' direction as the Furman goalkeeper rushed in to cut it off. Rogers barely snuck past the goalie and tapped the ball in.
"I got a good pass from Nikki." Rogers said. "Luckily the goalkeeper
er gave me a good angle to slide it into the far post."
Even with Rogers' goal, Kansas coach Mark Francis was far from pleased with his team's effort in the first half and let his team know with a fiery speech at halftime.
Senior midfielder Holly Gault said, "We came out slow because we thought we were better than this team and could go half speed. But coach definitely got us going in the second half"
Monica Dolinsky was the first to answer Francis' call. The freshman forward knocked the ball in after receiving a pass from senior defender Afton Sauer directly in front of the net.

THE TRUTH
Steroid use mires track and field's integrity
BY DEJUAN ATWAY
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
DATWAY@KANSAN.COM
The mythical title of world's fastest man was once a coveted and prestigious title. Now, that honor and its sport, track and field, lie in the dark and shady waters created and contaminated by constant steroid abuse and allegations.
Justin Gatlin, the reigning 100 meter dash Olympic and world champion, tested positive for an increase in testosterone levels and steroids shortly after competing in the Kansas Relays on April 22.
Last week, Gatlin decided to cooperate with doping investigators and accept an eight-year ban from competition. He avoided a lifetime ban for his cooperation but the eight-year ban will essentially end his career.
It is equivalent to Lebron James being suspended from the NBA or Peyton Manning sitting out the next eight years in the NFL.
How does a sport recover when its youngest and arguably brightest superstar is suspended for steroid abuse?
Gatlin, along with Tim Montgomery, two of the last three men who have held the title of world's fastest man, have tested positive for banned substances and the only similarity between the two is their coach, Trevor Graham.
If track and field wants to clean up its sport and retain some of its integrity, it must find a way to rid itself of Trevor Graham.
Graham continues to attract some of the world's elite track and field athletes despite the fact that 11 of his athletes, including past world champions Marion

Inexperienced wide receivers look to step up, help lead offense
10
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
They just might be the most anonymous group on the Kansas football team.
Senior wide receiver Brian Murph leads a squad of inexperienced wide receivers on this year's football team. Murph is the Jayhawks leading returer in total yards, receptions and touchdowns.
With no true No. 1 guy, identifying three starting wide receivers is certainly a challenge. But it's a decision Kansas coach Mark Mangino will have to make this week, with only five days remaining until Saturday's season opener against Northwestern State.
Ryan McGoonov/KANSAN
At least six different players have seen time with redshirt-freshman quarterback Kerry Meier and the first-team offense in practice. Among the players competing for a starting spot is senior Brian Murph, who is the Jayhawks' top returning receiver. As a starter last season, Murph recorded 33 catches for 368 yards and two touchdowns.
Mangino said he thinks Murph will be the leader of this year's crop
"Brian Murph's been making plays," Mangino said. "He did last

year and there's no reason for him not to this year. He's had a good training camp"
As the team's leading returner in several statistical categories, including total yards, receptions and touchdowns, it was assumed that Murph would be the team's top receiver. However, Murph sees the situation differently.
Aside from Murph, the main knock against this year's receivers will be their lack of experience.
"I'm up for the test," Murph said. "But I don't feel like I need to be the No. 1. I guy because we've got a lot

"Any time you lose players like Mark Simmons — who have been in your program as a four-year starter — and a player like Charles Gordon, you feel like you need to get the next guys ready," he said. "But I know the young guys will be ready. It is no more a concern of mine than any other parts of the team."

The week will be filled with celebrations, get-togethers and informational meetings to promote the council, recruit new members and celebrate the friendship and community engagement of the historically African-American and Hispanic-American fraternities and sororites that compose the council.
B. J. McIntosh, Wichita senior, and a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, has participated in NPHC Week events for the past two years and said he was looking forward to increasing the council's visibility on campus this year.
"There is a lot of unity and support from chapters even though we're individually incorporated," McIntosh said. "It is more than just wearing letters. We're like a family."
The council will host events like an informational meeting on Tuesday night at the Burge Union, a game night on Wednesday, a basketball tournament on Thursday at Robinson Center and a community service event for the Boys and Girls Club on Friday.
The events are designed to celebrate the diversity and opportunity within the University's youngest greek chapter organization.

From campus editor, Catherine Odson:
My high-school color guard was listening to the radio before rehearsal and heard a few words about a plane crash. After some fine-tuning, we learned about the first tower. We tried to rehearse anyway, but spent most of rehearsal trying to comprehend what happened. When the band came back in from the field an hour later, most of them thought we were joking. The joke ended when we went to our next class, turned on the TV and sat motionless watching the news coverage. Go to Kansan.com/Sept 11 to share your story

KANSAS LEGISLATURE
The legislators Barbara Ballard Paul Davis Tom Sloan
The scores Ballard: 99%, Davis: 98%, Sloan: 100%
The criteria:
Tuition Interest Ownership, Taxpayers' Bill of Rights, other issues
Why it matters: Representatives voted in favor of issues that benefited students.
Three Lawrence Representatives score well on higher education report card
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Group grades Reps' voting history
Three Kansas Representatives from Lawrence have made it onto The Kansas Citizens for Higher Education Inc. honor roll.
The organization issued a higher-education report card last month that ranked representatives based on their votes in the 2005 and 2006 Kansas House sessions.
Democrats Barbara Ballard and Paul Davis and Republican Tom Sloan all scored at least 98 percent. The Lawrence representatives' rankings put them ahead of 76 other legislators; 56 legislators received failing grades.
Issues were ranked from low to high priority and then the representatives who voted on those issues were identified. Representatives were given one to three points for low-priority issues, such as community college contracts. Five points were given for issues of high priority, such as
Tuition Interest Ownership.
All three representatives received five points for voting in favor of the Tuition Interest Ownership, the Stem Cell Amendment and the Taxpayers' Bill of Rights "Light." These three issues were considered some of the most important to the Citizens for Higher Education.
The Tuition Interest Ownership, or Senate Bill 85, was passed last session and will take affect July 1, 2007.
This bill will allow Kansas universities to keep about $8.5 million of tuition interest that before had been transferred to a state general fund.
According to the Kansas Legislative Research Department, the state's general fund is approximately $5.5 billion for the 2006 fiscal year.
Lindy Eakin, vice provost for Administration and Finance, said the estimated 2005 interest earned for the University was about $2.1
Eakin said after maintenance was paid for, the extra money could help lower tuition in the future.
million. That money will now be transferred to the state treasury and then credited back to the University. The legislature granted the University the money to be used toward deferred campus maintenance in 2008.
Representative Sloan proposed an amendment last spring in a House floor debate that would put tuition interest toward scholarships; the amendment failed. He said a lot of time legislators didn't understand the value of the University to the state as a whole.
"If the University is supposed to be self-funding, the interest ownership makes sense," Sloan said.
Bill Musgrave, Citizens for Higher Education staff director, said the report card was crucial for evaluating economic prosperity in the state. Areas with a strong infrastructure in higher education would create jobs in the future, he said.
"KU is clearly the leader in the state, but in many ways each university has their area of expertise," Musgrave said.
He said the University of Kansas Medical Center was important as well as the School of Business, which, he said, taught students how to develop their own companies.
Musgrave encouraged students, parents, faculty and staff to look at the report card before the November general election to see how their representatives voted.
The report card is available at http://www.kansashighereducation.org.

CRIME
KU student charged with rape of McCollum resident
BY DAVID LINHARDT
An 18-year-old KU student was charged yesterday with raping a 19-year-old McCollum Hall resident.
Arrin Bernard, Overland Park freshman, made his first appearance in Douglas County court yesterday to answer one charge of rape. Bond was set at $15,000 and Bernard's preliminary hearing is Sept. 6.
Bernard was unavailable for comment.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public
Safety spokesman, said the rape occurred in a McCollum residence hall room and that the victim was an acquaintance of the suspect's roommate.
Several friends of the victim and suspect were present while the rape occurred, though some fell asleep or left at different times of the night, and alcohol was a factor in the incident, Bailey said.
The group spent Saturday night partying before returning early Sunday morning to McCollum Hall.
The suspect left the room and was found by KU Public Safety officers after 10 a.m. Sunday.
The victim suffered minor injuries and police initially contacted her at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. She was released Sunday.
No rapes were reported to the Public Safety office in 2005. This one is the second reported rape in 2006 though rape is generally an under-reported crime, according to the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence.
4.
As many as 58 percent of raps go unreported to police, according to the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network. About half of rape victims are acquainted with their attackers.

According to the network, a woman is sexually assaulted every two and a half minutes in the United States.

Milwaukee, Twin Cities named America's drunke*+
MILWAUKEE — Cheers, Milwaukee: Your city has been ranked by Forbes.com as "America's Drunkest City" on a list of 35 major metropolitan areas ranked for their drinking habits.
Forbes said last week it used numbers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to rank cities in five areas: state laws, number of drinkers, number of heavy drinkers, number of binge drinkers and alcoholism.
Minneapolis-St. Paul was ranked second overall; followed by Columbus, Ohio; Ohio; Boston; Austin, Texas; Chicago, Cleveland; Pittsburgh and then Philadelphia and Providence, RL., in a tie for ninth.
Rick DeMeyer, 28, said Wednesday as he was celebrating his birthday at a bar that he could understand Milwaukee's ranking.
"I have had people stay with me from London and Chicago, and they can't get over how much we drink," he said. "I guess we do."
But officials at Visit Milwaukee, the area's convention and visitors bureau, contend that the city has come a long way in ridding itself of its beer-guzzling image.
Monster melons became the Sistrunks' hobby two years ago, when they bought a 120-pounder in a hotel lobby during the watermelon festival in Hope, Ark.
Milwaukeeans have plenty of other ways to entertain themselves, said Dave Fantle, a spokesman for the group. He noted a new convention center and baseball park had been built and the Milwaukee Art Museum expanded in recent years.
"We've gone from Brew City to

VALLEY FORGE, Pa. — Visitors to Valley Forge National Historical Park now just have to reach into their pockets or handbags to hear the site's history — right through their cell phones.
SAVONLINNA, Finland — Irate callers got their revenge on cell phones at the Mobile Phone Throwing World Championship during the weekend.
CONVERSE, La. — A father-son team are watering the state waterlearning record in shreds this summer, with three melons adding up to a total weight of 677 pounds.
The really big buster, at 252.4 pounds, was cut from its vine Friday in front of two witnesses from the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry.
He and 15-year-old Rusty Sistrunk brought their first pair of record-breakers to the Louisiana Watermelon Festival in Farmerville July 27-28.
"We babied this thing for 147 days," Donnie Sistrue Jr. said.
Their first goal was to grow a 100-pound melon. "We got 196 pounds." Rusty said.
At 218.8 and 205.8 pounds their melons took first and second places and beat the record of 202.6 pounds set in 2003.
Lassi Etelatalo, the men's winner, threw an old Nokia 292 feet on Saturday, during the seventh annual event. The women's winner, Eija Laakso, tossed her phone 167 feet, a new world record according to the organizers.
In addition to the "original" competition, which requires an over-the-shoulder throw and is judged solely on distance, there is "freestyle",where "style and aesthetics" count, and a junior competition for children 12 and younger.
The winners get — what else?
— new cell phones.
The world record is 268.8 pounds.
Self-guided offered via cell phones
The park, which served as the Continental Army's encampment during the winter of 1777-78, has joined dozens of attractions around the country in offering self-guided cell phone audio tours.
Organizers call the contest "the only sport where you can pay back all the frustrations and disappointments" caused by modern equipment.
The free service gives park visitors access to mini-lessons ranging from historian Thomas Fleming's description of Gen. George Washington's political life to park ranger Ajena Roger's tale of life as Washington's slave.

Evolution to be foundation of upcoming lecture series
Speakers will discuss faith and reason in attempt to find a common ground
BY DANNY LUPPINO
The controversy about evolution will be the order of the day Sept. 7 as the Hall Center for the Humanities and the Biodiversity Institute begin their new lecture series about science and faith.
The semester-long series, "Difficult Dialogues at the Commons — Knowledge: Faith and Reason," will feature speakers talking about various issues of faith and reason, most obviously the evolution debate. Hall Center director Victor Bailey said the lectures would explore what science could and could
"The main thing wed like to accomplish is just to raise this entire issue of how do we understand this rather strange universe we're all a part of", Bailey said.
Bailey said the lectures would take a less adversarial approach than similar discussions. He said the goal was to help people attending the lectures to seek a harmony of faith and reason.
"It's assumed that people will always take extremely polarized positions," Bailey said. "We want to bring the debate back to the vast amount of people in the middle ground."
Both Bailey and Leonard Krishtalka, Biodiversity Institute director, said that even though evolution was the most notorious issue, the center's hope was that the lectures would not make evolution their sole focus.
"Hopefully the speakers will use evolution as a launching point to a broader discussion of faith and reason," Krishtalka said.
Despite this hope, the first lecture in the series will be "God, Darwin, and Design: Creationism's Second Coming." Kenneth Miller, professor of biology at Brown University, will speak at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 7 at the
Ballroom in the Kansas Union. The following morning he will lead an open discussion at the Conference Hall in the Hall Center for the Humanities. Kristalka said open discussions with the speakers would be a staple of the lecture series.
"Part of the mission of The Commons is to provide many different forums for this discussion of difficult issues," Krishtalka said.

Ernesto crosses Cuba, threatens Florida coast
BY ANITA SNOW ASSOCIATED PRESS
HAVANA — Tropical Storm Ernesto hit Cuba west of the U.S. naval air base at Guantanamo Bay on Monday after killing one person in Haiti as it stayed on track toward Florida, where forecasters expect it to strengthen back into a hurricane.
Ernesto became the Atlantic season's first hurricane on Sunday morning with maximum sustained winds of about 75 mph before weakening and moving ashore about 20 miles west of Guantanamo, with top sustained winds of nearly 40 mph
- that's 1 mph above the minimum to be a tropical storm.
Forecasters said Ernesto would regain strength once it reached the warm waters north of Cuba, and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush declared an emergency, ordering tourists to evacuate the Florida Keys.
About 400 miles of the Florida coast were under a hurricane watch from New Smyrna Beach southward on the east coast and from
Chokoloskee southward on the west coast. The Keys were put under a watch Sunday.
NASA gave up on a Tuesday space shuttle launch and moved to Atlantis into its giant shelter at Cape Canaveral, Fla., if the storm continued to threaten.
At 2 p.m. EDT, Ernesto's poorly defined center was about 15 miles east-southeast of Holguin, Cuba, moving northwest near 10 mph. It dumped heavy rain in localized areas of eastern Cuba, but the storms winds had diminished greatly as it started moving across land, leading Cuban meteorologist Jose Rubiera said on state television.
The storm could return to open ocean north of Cuba as early as Monday night, Rubiera said.
A hurricane watch also was posted for the northwestern Bahamas and a tropical storm warning was issued for the central Bahamas.
Cruise ship companies said they were diverting several liners to avoid the storm.

Arabic language classes see increased enrollment
BY KIM LYNCH
Following national trends, enrollment in Arabic languages at the University of Kansas has increased significantly.
According to an article in Newsweek magazine, the number of United States college students enrolling in Arabic courses has increased 92 percent nationwide between 1998 and 2002.
At the University, this trend holds true as well. In the fall of 1995 there were 12 students enrolled in Arabic language classes. By fall 2005, there were 310 students in Arabic language classes, said Todd Cohen, interim director of university relations.
Peter Ukpokodu, chairman and professor of the department of African and African-American Studies, said the department had added one section of Arabic 1 and almost needed to add another section of Arabic 2.
There are several reasons for the
increased enrollment.
Ukpokodu said some of the increased enrollment could be due to the oil industry's prominence, or Arabic being the primary language of the Koran and also the conflict in the Middle East.
Tyra Blew, Wamego junior, said she was taking an Arabic language class because she was interested in the culture and because world events made it a timely language to learn.
Gina Starnes, associate director of the University Career Center, said that any foreign language training would make someone more attractive to prospective employers. She said she had noticed that global businesses, as well as the federal government, had expressed an interest in hiring Arabic speakers.

COUNCIL (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
The chapter, which was founded in 1997, consists of five African-American fraternities and sororities: Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.; Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.; Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc; Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.; Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc; and two Hispanic-American organizations: Sigma Lambda Beta Fraternity, Inc. and Sigma Lambda Gamma Sorority, Inc.
The organizations will use the week to recruit new freshmen into the council. Unlike the University's Intrafraaternity Council and the Panhellenic Association, the council requires new members to complete at least one semester at the University before they are eligible to pledge. Prospective members can still connect with the chapter before they pledge.
DeAndrea Herron, San Antonio senior and the council's public
relations chairwoman, said the informational meeting on Tuesday would demonstrate the solidarity of current members of the council, which she hopes will attract new members.
"Being an active part of NPHC allows for each person to work with different members in other sororities and fraternities," Herron said. "You can learn about the other organizations and show the community that even if we are in different sororites or fraternites we can still work together for the common good of our community."
The council's events will conclude with a retreat for all new members on Saturday.

CRIME
Lyons parolee gets death for double homicide
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GREAT BEND — A Lyons man was sentenced Monday to-death by lethal injection for helping to kill a Great Bend couple because he feared one of the victims might tell police about a previous crime.
District Judge Hannelore Kitts pronounced Sidney Gleason's sentence after denying a motion made by Gleason's attorneys to dismiss the case and a motion for a new trial.
Gleason, 27, was convicted of shooting Miki Martinez, 19, and her boyfriend, Darren Wornkey, 24, on Feb. 21, 2004. He was convicted of capital murder, first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery and criminal possession of a firearm. The jury recommended the death penalty during the sentencing phase.
Gleason and his cousin, Damian Thompson, 27, kidnapped and killed Martinez because they feared she might tell police about a previous crime — the stabbing
and robbery of 76-year-old Paul Elliott in Great Bend. Gleason and Thompson killed Wornkey as they kidnapped Martinez.
Thompson previously pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in Martinez's death and is serving a life sentence. He will be eligible for parole in 2029.
Gleason had previously pleaded no contest to attempted involuntary manslaughter in the shooting of his mother's ex-boyfriend. He also was acquitted in February 2000 of premeditated first-degree murder in the shooting death of one man and the wounding of another in Topeka in June 1999.
Gleason was released on parole a month before the WornkeyMartinez homicides.
He is the ninth person to be sentenced to die under the law upheld earlier by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The last execution in Kansas was June 22, 1965, when serial killers George R. York and James D. Latham were hanged at Lansing Correctional Facility.
AIRPLANE CRASH
AIRPORT
Ed Reinke/ASSOCIATED PRESS
A short row of orange and white barriers can be seen Monday at Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Ky., at far right center and in the background center that mark a portion of the taxiway that was altered during a repaving project just a week before a Comair jet tried to take off on the wrong runway and crashed, killing 49 people. The aircraft when turning left because of the barriers would have the option of making another immediate left onto runway 26 or continuing on to runway 22 at top. Runway 26 is only half the length of runway 22 and not long enough for a commercial jet.
Investigators study crash's cause
By JEFFREY McMURRAY Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Investigators in the Coma jet crash that killed 49 people are looking into whether changes made to a taxiway during a repaving project a week ago confused the pilot and caused him to turn onto the wrong runway.
Federal aviation officials said Monday they were also looking at such things as runway lights, markings and signs for clues to what could have misled the pilots, as well as anything else that changed the configuration or appearance of the airport.
Lowell Wiley, a flight instructor who flies almost every day out Lexington, said in an interview that he was confused by the redirected taxi route when he was with a student Friday taking off from the main runway.
Both the old and new taxiway routes cross over the short runway where Flight 5191 tried to take off before crashing into a grassy field and bursting into flame, Airport Executive Director Michael Gobb told The Associated Press.
"It's slightly different than it used to be," said Charlie Monette, president of Aero-Tech flight school at the airport. "Could there have been some confusion associated with that? That's certainly a possibility."
It was unclear whether the Comair pilots had been to the airport since the changes to the taxi route.
"When we taxied out, we did not expect to see a barrier strung across the old taxiway," Wiley said. "It was a total surprise."
Investigators planned to use a high truck to simulate the pilots' view of the runways and taxiways in their efforts to determine why the jet turned onto a shorter runway before dawn Sunday. The lone survivor was a critically injured co-pilot who was pulled from the cracked cockpit.
Authorities also planned to prepare a full report on the pilots, including what they did on and off duty for several days before the crash, which was the worst U.S. plane disaster since 2001.
All discussions between the plane and the control tower were about a takeoff from the main strip, Runway 22, which is 7,000 feet long, National Transportation Safety Board member Debbie Hersman.
Somehow, the commuter jet ended up on Runway 26 instead — a cracked surface about 3,500 feet long that forms an X with the main runway and is meant only for small
planes.
Both runways at Blue Grass Airport have lights along the edges, although the ones on the longer runway are much higher intensity. The long runway also has lights in the center. In the days leading up to the crash, those runway center lights were not working, according to a notice the Federal Aviation Administration sent to airlines.
Hersman told a news conference
that investigators were "looking into reports about any work that had been done at the airport, what might have approved, what might have been proposed and what might have been completed. Anything that might have changed the configuration or appearances of the airport."
According to the NTSB database, there have been four accidents caused by pilots taking off on the wrong runway worldwide since 1982.
Investigators take a measurement of Runway 26 at Blue Grass Airport on Monday; Aug. 28; 2006 in Lexington, Ky. A Comair flight took Runway 26; the shorter of two runways; by mistake Sunday; Aug. 27; and crashed on takeoff; killing 49 people. Investigators are examining why the Sunday commuter flight used a runway that was too short for takeoff.

BY JON SARCHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOULDER, Colo. — Prosecutors abruptly dropped their case Monday against John Mark Karr in the slaying of JonBenet Ransey, saying DNA tests failed to put him at the crime scene despite his insistence he sexually assaulted and strangled the 6-year-old beauty queen.
Just a week and a half after Karr's arrest in Thailand was seen as a remarkable break in the sensational, decade-old case, prosecutors suggested in court papers that he was just a man with a twisted fascination
with JonBenet who confessed to a crime he didn't commit.
"The people would not be able to establish that Mr. Karr committed this crime despite his repeated insistence that he did." District Attorney Mary Lacy said in court papers.
The 41-year-old schoolteacher will be kept in jail in Boulder until he can be sent to Sonoma County, Calif., to face child pornography charges dating to 2001.
The district attorney vowed to keep pursuing leads in JonBenet's death: "This case is not closed."
Karr was never formally charged in the slaying. In court papers, Lacy defended the decision to arrest him

--and bring him back to the United States for further investigation, saying he might have otherwise fled and may have been targeting children in Thailand as well.

Lacy said Karr emerged as a suspect in April after he spent several years exchanging e-mails and later telephone calls with a University of Colorado journalism professor who had produced documentaries on the Ramsev case.

According to court papers, Karr told the professor he accidentally killed JonBenet during sex and that he tasted her blood after he injured her vaginally. But the Denver crime lab conducted DNA tests Friday on a cheek swab from Karr and were unable to connect him to the crime.
"This information is critical because ... if Mr. Karr's account of his sexual involvement with the victim were accurate, it would have been highly likely that his saliva would have been mixed with the blood in the underwear," Lacy said.

She also said authorities found no evidence Karr was in Boulder at the time of the slaying. She said Karr's family provided "strong circumstantial support" for their belief that he was with them in Georgia, celebrating the Christmas holidays. JonBenet was found beaten and strangled at her Boulder home on Dec. 26, 1996.

Karr has been "obsessed with this case for a long time. He may have some personality problems, but he's not a killer," Harris said. "He obsesses. He wanted to be a rock star one time. He's a dreamer. He's the kind of guy who wants to be famous."

In an interview Monday with MSNBC, Gary Harris, who had been spokesman for the Karr family, said he knew the DNA would not match.
"We're deeply distressed by the fact that they took this man and dragged him here from Bangkok, Thailand, with no forensic evidence confirming the allegations against him and no independent factors leading to a presumption he did anything wrong." Temin said.

Earlier this month, Ramsey family attorney Lin Wood pronounced Karr's arrest vindication for JonBenele's parents, who had long been suspected in the killing.
On Monday, the attorney said: "From day one, John Ramsey publicly stated that he did not want the public or the media to jump to judgment. He did not want the public or the media to engage in speculation, that he wanted the justice system to take its course."
Wood said he still has great confidence in the district attorney. Patsy Ramsey died of cancer in June.
JonBenet Ramsey's aunt, Pamela Paugh, said she was disappointed there won't be a prosecution of someone in the case, but added: "I think our justice system worked as it was supposed to."
"We asked the DA to do her thing. She did it," said Paugh, who is Patsy Ramsey's sister. "My disappointment came about the end of December 1996 when we didn't have the killer then. We've had 9 1/2 years of disappointment and waiting."

OPINION
OUR VIEW
NCAA recruiting bylaw goes too far
Dear prospect,
Please play for the Jayhawks.
If a prospective player's name had been mentioned above, the NCAA's bylaw 13 on recruiting would have been broken and the KU Athletics Department would have asked The University Daily Kansan to cease encouraging prospects to attend the University.
The tyrannical bylaw provides an overly broad definition of "athletic representative." A student who purchases a ticket to a football game certainly lacks the power a traditional booster might have in influencing a prospect's decision. The NCAA should allow students to express themselves to recruits.
The bylaw states that "athletic representatives," who may include students, must refrain from attempting to persuade a recruit to attend their university. From social networking Web sites — such as Facebook and Myspace — to discussion forums, the Internet makes it possible for everyone to violate bylaw 13.
We understand the concern: Students might offer a recruit a unique benefit, such as a job, in exchange for the recruit's promise to enroll. The recruit could then lose eligibility. But why prevent a student from simply telling a recruit why the University would be a great place to play ball?
Further, athletics departments
cannot adequately enforce the bylaw. Administrators charged with the task of monitoring comments on social networking sites might find them difficult to navigate without the NCAA's help.
"The NCAA doesn't tell us what to monitor or how to monitor." Theresa Becker, associate athletics director for compliance, said Thursday. "We create our own forms. We create our own policies ... the NCAA doesn't come in and tell us how to run our shop."
That difficulty hasn't stopped some athletics departments from being justifiably vigilant. On July 28, the University of Kentucky Athletics Association announced that it had reported recruiting violations to the NCAA after several boosters posted on the Myspace profiles of UK prospects encouraging them to attend the university.
Other athletics departments have gone too far. Kent State University and Loyola University prohibit student-athletes from having social networking profiles, according to the NCAA's Web site. The KU Athletics Department allows student-athletes to have profiles, but advises them to be cautious.
The definition of "athletic representative" should be reevaluated before a player loses eligibility on some frivolous technicality.

Kansas reps fail gay community
COMMENTARY
Ad astra per aspera. The state motto of Kansas, Latin for "to the stars through difficulties," encompasses the struggle of gay Kansans attempting to win the rights that have been denied to them through recent legislation. While politicians take progressive action in many other areas of the public domain, socially, the Sunflower State follows this formula: Kansas + religiously fundamental conservatism = 1950s idealism, aka suburban WASPs with 2.5 kids and a Collie.
After the defeat of the Federal Marriage Amendment in Congress earlier this summer, I became aware,
Two points have caused a rift between myself and the politicians representing us here at home and in Washington. First, I wonder how many of these so-called conservatives truly consider themselves to be just that — conservative. An issue many fundamental conservatives (now let's not mix them up with members of the Religious Right) advocate is minimal government intervention in the lives of all citizens. Obviously, voting in favor of legislation that intervenes in my life, and the lives of other gay people, is inherently non-conservative.
Secondly, how do these politicians claim to be progressive? Their voting records on gay issues appear to be both anti-progress and discriminatory.

via the Human Rights Campaign, that Lawrence's representative voted in favor of the measure. In an e-mail exchange with Representative Jim Ryun (R-Kan.), the congressman affirmed his position on homosexuality in America. The KU alumnus believes every citizen should have equal protection under the law and also condemns prejudicial treatment of homosexuals. In contrast, Ryun, like many Republicans, feels that gay marriage goes beyond basic rights. "I do not believe that we should provide a class of citizens with special or extra rights," he wrote. So, if we were to put Rep. Ryun into a time machine and send him back to 1960, do you think he would support or oppose of the integration of black Americans into society?
Ryun went even further when he insinuated that homosexuals aren't capable of being in a monogamous and legally-recognized relationship. "I do not believe that we should broaden the traditional definition of marriage on the basis of such a recent political trend without examining the long-term psychological, physical and emotional effects of the homosexual lifestyle" he wrote. I will agree, there are serious problems within some parts of the gay community, but those who wish to obtain a legal union typically don't fall into those categories, nor do they approve of destructive lifelines.
Another Kansas politician and self-described "defender of marriage" spoke out after the FMA was soundly defeated. Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kan.), in a June Washington Post article, used the word "progress" in a rather contradictory way: "We're making progress, and we're not going to stop until marriage between a man and a woman is protected . . . protected in the courts, protected in the Constitution, but most of all, protected for the people and for the future of our children in this society." Well, I think it's safe to say that Sen. Brownback's position further demonstrates the hurdles that must be cleared if homosexuals are to obtain equal rights.
It is necessary for true conservatives to stand up and strongly oppose this ludicrous attempt by religious fundamentalists to create a theocracy in Kansas.

University should raise standards
COMMENTARY
图
Being the "safety school" that anyone can get into isn't getting the University anywhere. The admissions standards need to be changed to be more selective, for the sake of the rankings and the sake of the incoming students. No, I don't know what the new requirements should be. I just know that letting in C students isn't cutting it for me or for the ranking committees.
When I e-mailed new provost Richard Lariviere about his opinion on raising the requirements, he wrote that he is "not arguing to 'raise' admission standards, but to change them from the current statutory model for all schools in Kansas to a more holistic evaluation of each applicant." Well, that is a nice idea, isn't it? The University may require a personal essay or an interview for applicants. It sounds like a great idea on paper, but the reason applicants are judged by the current system is because it's quick. The University has approximately 27,000 students, and those are just people that got accepted. Imagine the time and money that would be wasted to more "wholly" evaluate each student.
BY CASSIE GENTRY
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINIONKANSAN.COM
No one wants to be "that guy" (or girl). You know, the one who comes to college, gug ho about majoring in pre-med or business, but has to leave in shame after one semester because they couldn't cut it. Often, these students simply aren't smart enough or lack focus.
Stronger admissions standards would save these students not only the embarrassment of failure, but time and money as well. Requirements are a measure to determine if a student will succeed in college. The current requirements aren't exactly stringent. A 2.0? A "C" average? Let's be honest, that's no great achievement. College courses are much more difficult than high school courses. How can the University expect a someone who was a "C" student in high school to pull a 2.0 or higher at the college level?
Some KU administrators are clamoring to raise admissions standards to improve the University's national ranking. Currently, we stand at 37th among the nation's public universities. Raising the admissions standards would no doubt also lower the dropout rate and raise the average GPA. People have said that these rankings don't matter, and I agree they don't to some incoming students. However, to someone from 1,000 miles away who can't afford to travel around and pick a school based on appearance, numbers matter a lot. Why go to the 37th-ranked school when you could go to the 35th or 27th? Raising the admissions standards would be a great way to climb up the rankings.

MEIER (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
"I didn't really have that option," Mangino said of pulling the red-shirt. "When he was detected with the medical problem, that erased that. By the time he was physically ready, from a development standpoint, he wouldn't have been ready to play and we didn't want to waste a year on a guy that really could have four really great years at KU."
Although Meier said playing time was one of the main reasons he chose to be a lajhawk, sitting out last season proved to be valuable. Not only did he get a chance to adjust to the college lifestyle and get to know his coaches, Meier also got a chance to learn the offense without the pressure of facing an opposing defense.
"The whole redshirt season was a big-time learning experience," Meier said. "I was learning about the whole college deal. Through my brothers, I was learning little things here and there. It was a huge year, and I made the most of it."
One cool kid
With his carefree attitude and free-flowing mane of nearly shoulder-length blonde hair, Meier looks more like the typical California surfer than a highly-touted college quarterback. Teammates say he walks cool, talks cool and even eats lunch cool, if such a thing is possible.
But looks can be deceiving.
Instead, Meier takes the calm and confidence that oozes from his laid-back personality and channels it toward creating stability at a position that has been a revolving door the past two seasons. Hidden inside that cool exterior is a burning desire to prove himself. Despite being the presumed starter for nearly nine months, Meier still finds himself looking over his shoulder.
"You've got to go in there with the attitude that there's guys behind you." Meier said. "It's never a secure lock that you're going to play, you have to come out and prove yourself every day."
Meier's ability to step into the starting role and play at a level above most other freshmen has
been impressive, but what has stood out most to his teammates is that calm, confident attitude.
In the huddle on the practice field or scrambling through the defense, Meier never seems flustered. Even while scrambling downfield for a 15-yard rushing touchdown at last week's Fan Appreciation Day, Meier just calmly strolled into the end zone. He receives a few high fives from teammates as he heads for the sideline, but does not partake in any fancy celebrations or choreographed routines.
In contrast to teammates bouncing around on the sideline, hyping themselves up, Meier stands quietly. He credits part of that relaxed gameday attitude to the mix of Grateful Dead and Widespread Panic music that is a staple in his pregame routine.
He's been able to maintain that attitude, in part, because he'll lead an offense that returns seven starters, including nearly the entire offensive line and an experienced running back. Even seniors, like running back Jon Cornish, know Meier is capable of finding success.
"From the second he got here, he just had that special aura around him," Cornish said. "I think it's not going to be very obvious that he is a freshman."
An anticipated debut
In nearly a month of practice with the first-team offense, Meier has had plenty of ups and downs. Interceptions, batted-down passes and fumbled handoffs have been just as much a part of Meier's learning process as scrambling downfield out of the pocket or a pass perfectly threaded between two defenders. Even so, Kansas coach Mark Mangino has high expectations for his prized quarterback.
"I've been around some really good quarterbacks," Mangino said of his stops as an assistant coach at Oklahoma and Kansas State." Josh Heupel, Jason White and Michael Bishop - those guys are really, really good players. Can he be in that category? I think it's possible."
Meier has been the talk of the
Kansas football world since he signed with the Jayhawks, as the nation's 13th-ranked high-school quarterback in 2004. His reputation skyrocketed after his sharp performance in April's spring game. He finished his first action as a Jayhawk 16-of-28 passing for 184 yards and three touchdowns. At open practices, every interception or overthrown pass brings a collective cringe from fans, while every completed pass triggers wild applause.
Although Meier will be Kansas' youngest starting quarterback since Adam Barmann's 2003 start against Texas A&M, Mangino believes he has the right make-up to succeed.
"He's very intelligent," Mangino said. "When he makes a mistake, he usually turns around and tells the coach before he can get to him."
A quiet confidence
Slowly but surely, the pack of reporters surrounding Meier in that corner outside the Kansas locker room at Memorial Stadium begins to dwindle. He sits, listening attentively, answering the same questions too many times to count.
He repeatedly responds to questions about dealing with the pressure of being a freshman quarterback and whether he thinks it'll be difficult to handle the responsibility. He occasionally flashes a smile in the middle of serious football talk about reading defenses or memorizing the playbook.
That's where his calm, confident side comes out. He's not afraid of expressing his faith in himself, teammates or coaches. It's not a cocky confidence, instead it's the swagger of a guy who's finally getting his chance to live up to the hype already surrounding his game.
"Football is all about being confident," he said. "You have to be self-confident, and you have to display it."

(CONTINUED FROM 10A)
Last season, the jayhawks posted a 10-6 home record, contrasted with a 4-9 record on the road.

The Kangaroos enter tonight's game under interim head coach Chrissy Elder, who was an assistant last season. Elder is currently the youngest head coach in the nation.
UMKC is lead by Lauren Starks, junior outside hitter/setter, who was the lone 'Roo to be named to the all-tournament team this past weekend, after compiling 34 kills.
UMKC enters tonight's game without two of its top players. Angela Melka, senior outside hitter, and Mandy Tipton, junior libero/defensive specialist, will sit out tonight because of injuries.
The home stay will be brief for the Jayhawks. They will travel to Philadelphia for the Temple Classic, which starts Friday. Kansas plays Temple on Friday, then Maine and Rutgers on Saturday.

OPPONENT (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
With Holmes' move to defense, the Demons lost their top five rushers from 2005, which might cause problems for a team predominantly concerned with running. Slated to start in the backfield is senior Greg Skidmore, who carried the ball just 13 times for 72 yards and a touchdown last season. The touchdown and 34 of those yards came on one carry in Northwestern State's last game.
Stoker said as many as four running backs might see action on Saturday.

Easier schedule gives 'Hawks hope
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT

BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
Expect Kansas to improve its record this season, and not because it could be better, but because of an easier schedule.
For the first time in two years, Kansas won't have to play the three recently best teams in the Big 12 Conference: Texas, Oklahoma and Texas Tech. What a relief.
With those three off the schedule, Kansas will be spared much heartbreak and embarrassment. Remember it was Texas Tech that came back from a 25-point deficit two seasons ago in Lawrence. And last season Oklahoma's defense completely shut down Kansas' offense. Then there's Texas, who beat Kansas like a drum last year: 66-14.
Thank goodness Kansas doesn't have to play any of them again for another two seasons. But now pressure is on the Jayhawks to take advantage of their fortunate scheduling.
Baylor and Oklahoma State are must-win games. If Kansas doesn't win those, don't expect a bowl game, because those two will most likely be the easiest conference competition the Jayhawks will face. The final South
team — Texas A&M — comes to Lawrence, where Kansas was 6-0 last season. To make things tougher for the Aggies, it's on the Jayhawks' Homecoming Weekend.
If Kansas can come out of those games 3-0 or even 2-1 — it's in a good position to make a run at the Big 12 North. Kansas is the only team in the North that doesn't play Texas or Oklahoma. Out of all the North teams, only Nebraska is good enough to match an undefeated record against the South. Its toughest game will be at home against Texas, but Nebraska has a daunting home-field advantage and a fairly good football team.
Unfortunately for Iowa State, it plays both Texas and Oklahoma. Welcome to the Jayhawks' world for the last two years, Cyclones.
For Kansas to pick up some steam as a program, it needs to play more teams that are of its caliber. Taking all the national championship contenders off of Kansas' schedule this year makes a mid-level bowl game, or even a Big 12 North title, obtainable.
If Kansas wins the North, maybe then it will play Texas or Oklahoma. And even if the Jayhawks lose, it's much sweeter losing in the Big 12 Championship game than in the regular season. It's nice the 'Hawks now have the schedule to do so.

SOONERS
Defense, new quarterback to carry Oklahoma BY SHAWN SHROYE
Oklahoma's checklist for success in 2006 was simple:
Return a front seven on defense chock full of impact players — check.
Return a young group of speedy defensive backs — check.
Return quarterback from last season — not so much.
Return one of the best running backs in college football — check.
Jerry Lazure/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sophomore quarterback Rhett Bomar was dismissed from the team for being overpaid for a job he took with a team booster. Now Oklahoma will have to prove it can win without an ideal quarterback situation.
"As a team, we're coming off an 8-4 year and right now that's what we are." Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. "In a month's time, the strength of the Sooners has shifted from offense to defense."
Senior linebacker Rufus Alexander was voted preseason Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year by conference media. He will headline a star-studded defense.
The Oklahoma defensive line features three players sure to give opposing quarterbacks headaches. Senior defensive end C.J. Ah You recorded seven sacks last season, which will mesh nicely with the players battling for playing time at the other end spot. Senior defensive end Larry Birdine missed all but one game last season but tallied 11 combined sacks his two previous seasons. In Birdine's place last season, senior Calvin Thibodeaux got to quarterback 10 times.

The success of Peterson and Oklahoma's receivers in the passing game will ultimately come down to the new starting quarterback, senior Paul Thompson.
Big 12 media revealed their high expectations for Peterson, voting him preseason Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.
While the Sooners could lose hope after Bomar's dismissal, it's more likely they will use the loss to reinforce a lesson they learned last season.

COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF GAME DAY Kansas v. Northwestern State Saturday, Sept. 2, 6 p.m.
Absent athletes plague Mangino
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
After talking trash during the entire offseason, Aqib Talib has finally been silenced.
Four players out of Saturday's game with injuries, another with disciplinary suspension
Monday's edition of the Lawrence Journal-World cited anonymous sources that said the sophomore cornerback would miss at least Saturday's game against Northwestern State because of a disciplinary suspension.
While speaking to the media during Tuesday's Big 12 Conference Football Teleconference, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino neither confirmed nor denied the reports.
"I have no comment on that situation," Mangino said. "I do not discuss any personnel things publicly."
Talib took the spotlight after Charles Gordon moved to offense last year, and his reported suspension puts Kansas' secondary depth in serious trouble. Mangino was already planning to play Saturday's
game without redshirt-freshman safety Darrell Stuckey, who is out with an undisclosed injury.
Mangino said last week that another injured safety, senior Jerome Kemp, might be available for Saturday's game, but Mangino gave no indication on Tuesday. He declined to discuss Kemp's injury, but said that he looked "great."
Mangino also refused to confirm or deny reports that senior defensive end Rodney Allen would sit out of Saturday's game because of a knee
"That's sensationalism at its best," Mangino said.
injury.
In total, four players will miss the Northwestern State game because of various injuries, with Kemp still a question mark.
Three of those injured players — Stuckey, Allen and sophomore linebacker James Holt — play on defense. The lone injured offensive player is redshirt-freshman running back Angus Quigley, who is out with
what Mangino called an "unusual" injury.
The Jayhawks will open the season — with or without these players — when they take on Northwestern State at 6 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Last season, Kansas swept UMKC, 3-0, in Lawrence, and has not lost a game to the Kangaroos in 24 years, the last being Oct. 19, 1982.
"There is a certain comfort zone playing at home," coach Ray Bechard said.
Bechard said Alabama, who swept Kansas on Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Ala., had an advantage playing at home because of the environment being in its favor.

Weakened offense hinders opponent
Northwestern State and Kansas can sympathize with each other in one respect: Missing players.
This preseason, Kansas has suffered key injuries at running back and in the secondary on defense. As for Division 1-AA Northwestern State, its starting lineup on Saturday isn't likely to mirror its preseason depth chart.
"We're in the same boat," Northwestern State coach Scott Stoker said. "You'll be able to tell from the initial lineup to what it will be later on in the week."
Stoker couldn't get into specifies, but he said he would have a better idea which players would have to sit out as Saturday neared.
The two were also named preseason first-team All-Southland Conference with junior defensive end Charlie Brooks, who had 46 tackles and three sacks in 2005.
nine includes All-Americans Tory Collins, senior defensive tackle,
and Ed Queen, senior defensive end. While Queen missed most of 2005 because of a sports hernia,
Collins had 64 tackles — 14 for a loss — and one sack.
Saturday's game will be the first of the season for both teams.
The Demons use only two linebackers in their defensive scheme, and the two leading candidates to start at linebacker didn't play prominent roles for the defense last
Other than Holmes, the Demon defense is in good shape.
Demons junior linebacker Anthony Holmes is out for sure. A running back last season, Holmes would have played this weekend at linebacker, but Stoker said Holmes had been suspended for breaking team rules.

Instead, he was given a redshirt by Mangino after a heart defect was found early in the season. Following a procedure to fix the problem, he resumed practicing with the team. Even after his recovery, Mangino rejected calls to strip the redshirt.

PARKING
Football facility work to begin in October
The University parking commission met Tuesday in an emergency meeting to discuss the Athletics Department's preliminary proposal for the facility.
The first steps toward completion of the football-only facility near Memorial Stadium could get underway in October with construction of parking lots to replace student spaces that will be lost to the new buildings, a university official said.
In order to build the facility, some student parking spaces need to be removed.
The new football facility will include a new locker room, weight training area, meeting space and offices for coaches and will be near new practice fields. The project, funded by private donations to the Athletics Department, is an effort to centralize football operations at Memorial Stadium.
BY MARK VIERTHALER
A portion of the lot near Potter Lake, lot 59, would be replaced with offices, the plans show. More than half of the lot east and south of Memorial Stadium, north of the Spencer Museum of Art, lot 91,
would be converted into practice fields for the football team. What would remain of the lot would no longer be connected to the lot directly east of the stadium, lot 94.
Jim Modig, director of Design and Construction Management, explained these changes to members of the parking commission, who had concerns about how the construction would affect traffic patterns and parking.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
SEE PARKING ON PAGE 4A
Committee members raised concerns with the traffic flow of the current parking situation. Lots 55 and 59 have access only to 11th Street and only from the road between the stadium and the Tau Kappa Epsilon house. The chance of accidents is increased if hundreds of spaces are added to that area, committee members said.
The current proposal would eliminate 419 spaces, virtually all of which are yellow, student spaces. Replacement spaces would be built along the hill between JRP Hall and the Stadium.
The new parking spots would replace the 419 spaces, space for space, the plan says.

From managing editor, Erick R. Schmidt:
Like most of the current Kansan staff, I was in high school when 9/11 happened. I remember going from class to class, watching the coverage on CNN. I waited in line for 45 minutes to fill my car with gas, and a woman with a Bible told me Jesus was coming. MTV played Bob Marley videos, and I couldn't stop watching in between the news coverage. I kept waiting for a sense of calm to take over and for years later, I guess I'm still waiting. Go to Kansan.com/Sept11 to share your story.

AIDS vaccination works in monkeys
BY DANNY LUPPINO
A University of Kansas researcher has successfully developed a DNA vaccine for the AIDS virus in monkeys. The study was published in the August issue of the medical journal "Virology."
Opendra Narayan, chairman of microbiology, molecular genetics and immunology at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said having the successful tests published would help to allow him to move forward in producing a vaccine for humans.
"It worked pretty well," Narayan said. "It worked so well in preventing AIDS in monkeys; it should work the same in humans."
Narayan said that if a human vaccine was successful, it would be a big step in replacing current daily treatments for AIDS patients.
The next step for Narayan is to obtain investigational new drug status for the vaccine so human tests can begin at the Med Center. In addition, ImmunoGenetix Therapeutics, Inc., the Lenexa company with the license to produce the vaccine, will scale up pilot manufacturing.
"It would enable people to get off their drugs," Naravan said.
Jim Laufenberg, president and CEO of ImmunoGenetx, said he was excited about the results of
"It certainly would bring a lot of recognition to what we're doing here," Laufenberg said. "It would, in my opinion, put KU Med on a level playing field with some of the other things being done around the country."
the study and the possibilities it created.
"I think this most recent finding is quite interesting in that, from what I can tell, no one today has demonstrated those kind of results," Laufenberg said. "When you consider 12 out of 12 monkeys had positive results, that's quite impressive."
Narayan said the biggest obstacle to human tests would be obtaining the large amounts of funding he would require. He said the National Institutes of Health would be the primary target for funding, but the publication of the study could provide alternatives.
Laufenberg said he was also excited for the attention the study and possible human tests could bring to the Med Center.
"It will be helpful," Narayan said. "It increases the chances to get private funding."

Malaki Edison Desk Manager of Hashinger Hall BY JOSH LANDAU
Even before Malaki Edison became a student at the University of Kansas, he knew it was his home. He specifically felt tied to Hashinger Hall, where he has been spending time with his friends since 1996.
"I used to skate inside at the fifth floor lobby," Edison said.
The sixth-year senior has been considering himself a "Hashie" ever since. He is the desk manager of the hall, handling logistics, desk staff and security staff. He has only lived elsewhere when Hashinger was closed for renovations. Even during his year away from the hall, he never really left. As a member of the renovation committee, he was able to be the voice of the students.
"We won and lost on the renovations," Edison said. "But everything that we have, like the porch, is because the students fought for it."
During the renovations Edison was the desk manager at Ellsworth Hall. Though he had no complaints, Edison was happy to move back into Hashinger.
"Hash was the first time I felt like I belonged somewhere," Edison said. "When they took the fence down and we could sit on the porch again, I knew I was back home."
"I loved the residence at Ellsworth, but the architecture there is just not the same. I just dig this place," Edison said.
After the renovations, Edison is adjusting to the changes in Hashinger. Drywall instead of cinder blocks and new, unbroken furniture and lights are some of the biggest differences, he said. Still, Hashinger is truly his home.
"If I had it my way, I'd be involved in film after college, but I still want to look at being a professor," Edison said.
lectison is an expanded media art and film student. After college he wants to go to graduate school in New York or get a job in the industry, but he still wants to be involved in the education system.

Ads in textbooks may lower prices
Publishing company working to make textbooks more affordable for students
BY BEN SMITH
Students are constantly being bombarded with advertisements from the radio, television and movies, but now ads may also be popping up in textbooks.
Freeeload Press, Inc. of St. Paul, Minn., was launched in 2004 with the mission to make textbooks and study materials more affordable for college students.
By selling ad space to companies such as Culver's, Fed-Ex Kinkos and Pura Vida Coffee, Freeload Press intends to burden the burden
of buying textbooks off the shoulders of college students.
"I get parents calling, hundreds of e-mails from students, all looking to defray the cost of their education," said Howard
"If Freeload is able to provide materials that meet the needs of students, the faculty will choose them."

Although companies are spending more money to produce extra materials, Holmes said that most students he talked to didn't use them.
Quinlan, chairman of the board and chief operating officer of Freeload Press.
The company started 18 months ago as a Web site getting 2,000 hits a week. During this last month, it averaged between 1.3 and 1.4 million hits.
Holmes said he thought the idea of letting advertising pay for textbooks was interesting and he saw no way it would binder educational endeavors. But he said advertisements for certain products, such as cigarettes, were problematic.

David Holmes, professor of psychology and textbook author, said the average new textbook cost a student about $116.
He said the reason for high prices could be attributed to the amount of money spent producing supple-
The small publishing firm is attracting the interests of big firms in addition to students.
Bruce Hildebrand, president and spokesman for the Association of American Publishers, said that the
textbook publishing industry was a highly competitive business reliant on the opinions of professors.
"If Freeload is able to provide materials that meet the needs of students, the faculty will choose them," Hildebrand said. "If not, they will go away."

Teachers ban laptops during some classes
BY NATE MCGINNIS
Students who enjoy the convenience of using a laptop computer during lectures might have a tougher time doing so as some instructors begin to ban them in their classes.
Some instructors from the School of Journalism, School of Architecture and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences have implemented a rule banning laptops.
Lisa Wright, first-year Ph.D. student from Overland Park, teaches Elements of Sociology. Wright has had a ban on laptops during her classes for the past two semesters. Wright said that when she was a teaching assistant in larger classrooms, such as the ones in Budig Hall, she often saw students checking Facebook, playing online poker and even looking at pornography.
"it's one of those things where one student can ruin it for everyone," Wright said.
Wright said that in a smaller classroom, laptop computers were not so much of a problem because she could see the students more easily. She said she didn't think laptops were necessary for students to succeed in her class, because she used mainly overhead transparencies and didn't post anything online.
Laura Fisher, Steamboat Springs, Colo., sophomore, admitted to surfing the Internet during class, but only at the beginning. Fisher said
she primarily used her laptop to take notes during her Introduction to Economics class.
Fisher said it was easier for her to type her notes because she can type faster than she can write.
"When I have the option, I definitely get more out of typing it," Fisher said
Fisher also said that when she studied for her class, having typed notes made the material easier to print off and study.
Colby Guthrie, Fredonia freshman, recently brought his laptop to class for the first time. Guthrie used his computer to register his CPS clicker before class and review notes online. Guthrie said he liked the advantage of being able to view his
notes in class when he didn't have time beforehand.
"I think it helps out a lot to see what you're going to cover that day," Guthrie said.
Unlike the students that caused Wright to implement a laptop ban, Guthrie said he only used his computer for academic work that day in class.
"I got on, looked at my notes and turned it up," Guthrie said.

PARKING (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Jessica Mortinger, KU on Wheels student representative and transportation coordinator, said if they didn't add an access point, the traffic on 11th Street would become even busier. There was also concern the increased number of people exiting from one access point could back up traffic three blocks to Mississippi Street.
Maintaining security in the new lots was also a concern. Modig said the Athletics Department had plans to pay for new lighting and emergency blue lights in the new lots.
Tom Mulinazzi, chairman of the parking commission, said the commission wouldn't pay for any adjustments that may have to be made to the Athletics Department's plan.
Modig said work on the new parking lots would begin, barring setbacks, by October. After the new parking is built, Modig said construction of the practice field would begin.
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the plan to replace parking spaces wasn't set. He said
the department would review all concerns before beginning construction.
Who will use the football team's current practice fields, near Allen Fieldhouse, is not yet decided, Marchiony said. The department has not yet completed an update to its facilities master plan, he said.
The parking commission recommended developing a list of concerns to send to the building committee.
Concerns include automobile access to the new parking spaces, pedestrian access to the new lots in order to preserve the grass, the construction of a traffic signal at the intersection of Maine and 11th streets — the point where the expanded lot meets 11th Street, the refusal of the parking commission to pay for changes and potential for on-campus bus access.

The Chahines eventually spoke with Toni Wheeler, the city attorney handling all smoking cases for the city.
HOOKAH (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
With Wheeler's help, they were granted the ability to allow a smoke-friendly atmosphere, if they followed a few guidelines.
The hookah house is not allowed to sell main food dishes. They must ensure 75 to 80 percent of their income is from tobacco and hookahs. The other 20 to 25 percent comes from the sale of hummus, coffee and soft drinks.
No one younger than 18 years old is allowed in the hookah house, Bassem said.
Dennis "Boog" Highberer, city commissioner, said the administrative interpretation for the hookah house wouldn't encourage other businesses to try to get smoking
The house has to have a notification saying it is not a child-friendly business. They must also notify potential customers that smoke is allowed in the building and those with asthma are discouraged from frequenting the location.
Hazem said the hummus and the drinks come complimentary with the renting of hookah.
Highberger said the ordinance made a special exception for tobacco shops.
allowed.
To avoid spreading disease, the house uses disposable plastic nipples that fit in the mouthpiece, Bassem said. The hoses are also disinfected with alcohol between uses.
Leila said it was her love and respect of her native Lebanese culture that inspired her to found the hookah house.
Wheeler was out of the office until Sept. 1 and unavailable for comment.
"There's a discipline to using the hookah." Leila said. "Even the way you hand it to the person next to you is an art. The hookah teaches hospitality."
"I'm reasonably sure we won't be allowing tobacco shops to be carved out of existing businesses," he said.

Congressman visits campus
U. S. Representative focuses on student aid, unifying the government and gas prices
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
U. S. Representative Dennis Moore (D-Kansas) isn't counting, but he said he hopes the U.S. House will revert back to a Democrat majority in 72 days.
Moore spoke at a Young Democrats sponsored meeting Tuesday night in the Kansan Room of the Kansan Union.
He said he believes in a divided government for the United States, not one party that controls each branch. With Republicans in control, he said it is hard to put the brakes on their path of destruction.
But the running theme through his discussion was that Congress is not about partisan politics.
"Eighty-percent of what we do in Congress should not be about Democrats or Republicans," Moore said. "It's about taking care of people."
One way he said he can take care of college students is with a bill "that would require honest accounting." He said the national debt has gone up $2.8 trillion since President Bush has been in office and once the baby boomers retire the Y generation will be responsible for paying the debt.
"It is grossly unfair" he said.
Moore also referenced a bill he voted against, the Deficit Reduction Act, which cut federal student aid programs by $12.5 billion. He said government expenditures, namely the Department of Defense and Medicare funding, should not be at the expense of college students and others with
Moore fielded questions from some of the about 45 students in attendance. The questions ranged from the Iraq war to preserving energy.
As for the war in Iraq, he said he would like to see the President appoint someone to privately enter Iraq to discuss how the government can take control of the nation without U.S. military forces.
"I think we saved Iraqi people from Saddam, but we can't save Iraqi people from themselves," he said.
To answer a question about the rising costs of gasoline, Moore referenced President Jimmy Carter. He said in the 70s that Carter addressed the same problem U.S. citizens are facing now, high gas prices.
Moore said that Carter had proposed several energy-efficient uses with renewable and alternative energy that did help lower gas prices. But once they went down, Moore said, people forgot how to keep them down.
"I fault every Democratic and Republican candidate who hasn't done what Carter said we needed to do 30 years ago," he said.
Businessman Chuck Ahner (R-Kansas) is running against incumbent Moore for the 3rd Congressional District in the Nov. 7 general election.

Landlines a waste in dorms
Walk down Wescoe Beach and you will likely see one thing in common among students: Many have a cell phone glued to their ear.
Diana Robertson, interim director of student housing, said there are currently discussions between the Department of Student Housing and the Student Housing Advisory Board concerning the issue. She said discussions would continue through the fall semester, which could lead to a solution.
The cell phone has become the primary source of communication for college students, diminishing the use of landline phones. Students living in residence halls continue to pay for landline phones, which are seldom used. It may be time to axe landline phones, as universities across the country are doing.
OPINION
"It's a likely direction we will move in," Robertson said. "It kind of makes sense to most students."
But making emergency calls is a concern. She said placing a call to 911 on a cell phone doesn't always provide an exact location, which creates a problem for emergency officials.
Safety and security are priorities and the Department of Student Housing wants to make sure it doesn't jeopardize residents.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Robertson said a change would only come after discussions among the KU Public Safety Office, residents and University officials to evaluate the pros and cons.
More and more schools are recognizing the overwhelming popularity of cell phones. The University of Cincinnati now offers incoming freshmen a new cell phone to serve as their primary means of contact. Morrisville State College in New York has made the transition from landline to wireless, and more schools are considering the switch.
Current renovations to Hashinger Hall included landline phones, but the idea of making the move to a completely wireless hall seems reasonable.
For residents, this would mean eliminating the fee for seldomused landline phones.
With our campus already equipped with wireless Internet access, it's time we look at relying on cell phones.
The University could save money as well. American University eliminated landline phones in residence halls in 2005. The move saved the university $1 million.

When you say 'Kansas,' some say 'Superman'
COMMENTARY
While I enjoyed the Kansan's editorial last week about North Lawrence changing its name to Jericho as a publicity stunt. I want to point out that Kansas is the home of a very famous person: Superman.
POLICY ADVISORY BOARD
The show "Smallville" depicts the fictional Kansas town before a large national audience. I also find it interesting how Smallville is portrayed in the Superman comic books.
I've always theorized that Smallville is in Southeast Kansas for the simple reason that the school is much larger than anything in western Kansas except Dodge City. Plus, Smallville has things like rivers and trees, which we don't really have in western Kansas.

So yes, there are more positive things Kansas is associated with than the BTK killer, our lack of evolution, fictional nuclear blasts and "The Wizard of Oz."

I just wanted to let you know my friend comes in caffeinated beverages. It is gross.
KU women need to put on some clothes
"Less is more" seems to be the motto society has adopted. Sure, this phrase is useful when applied to practical situations in everyday life. Such as, it's definitely better to put less wasabi on your sushi so that you will have more taste buds. Or putting on less perfume so more people can breathe.
However, society has applied this to the fashion industry. They say the less you wear, the more appealing you are. So, the less your bikini is, the more men you'll pick up. Men ignore this concept as we can see by the lack of hotties in Speedes. Women, however, have whole-heartedly adopted the "less is more" phrase.

We generally hate, to use a term coined by the scientific community, sluts, or *sluticus noclothesmmy-bodyus*. The sluts would say we're just bitter and jealous. This is only partly true. We're bitter and jealous but we enjoy our food, especially our chocolate, and words like "sugar-free" and "Atkins Diet" give us nightmares. We hate dieting freaks for inventing "No-Taste" ranch dressing.
Now, there are many of us who do cover our cleavage (sometimes because we modest, sometimes because we're sick of dropping our M&M's down there and having to fish them out) and who wear jeans that cover all of our, to use a French word of fashion, derrière.

In all honesty, though, we don't want to go blind because the wind exposes your booty or feel violently ill because your tube top decides to pull a Janet Jackson. Men don't mind, especially ex-boy band members, but there are some who do. Granted, a lot of these men are gay, but not all of them. And besides, we should listen to the gay men when they talk about fashion.
But, think about it for a second. If you show it all off now, there's no mystery left. You'll slink into the bedroom all seductive and sexy and your guy will be like, "Bare there, sheen that." There won't be that element of anticipation for the guy to wonder what's behind Bra #1.

Reality shows like "What Not To Wear" will have a whole new meaning. Even feet are starting to become exposed. Flip-flops are the latest fashion. With people buying so many flip-flops, no wonder they don't have any money left to afford clothes. Or perhaps some girls just haven't been able to afford clothes since they were five and that's why their clothes look so little.
Sometimes, people make themselves look just plain ugly. Such as, if you are a size 12, you SHOULD NOT wear "gravity-defying" low-rise jeans with an extra small "built-in support" (although I've seen socks with more support) tank top. Those are not the kind of rolling hills that people want to see. Please have consideration for the public (OK, so Princess Jasmine in Disney movies bares her midriff, but that is because she is a Disney character with a perfect size -2 waist).
Although, men wear such loose pants it's causing a dramatic increase in the number of pants spontaneously falling off butts, I mean, *derrières*. You no longer need to pull a guy's pants down to embarrass him; his pants can do the work themselves. It is from the two inches of ugly boxers sticking above a guy's pants that are holding onto a cliff with one hand, that we can tell that straight men will never get fashion.
Instead of asking, "Does this shirt make me look fat?" ask yourself, "Does this shirt show off too much of my fat?"
Until society figures out its values, women figure out what's tasteful, or more men start wearing Speedes, the fashion industry is doomed. As for me, I'll just continue sitting here eating my M&M's and later discover, "So that's where that blue one went!"

> LETTER TO THE EDITOR
and Louisiana who probably would have appreciated a story about what has and has not been taken care of on the Gulf Coast, and I hope that those who weren't directly affected by Katrina still care about those who are still in need.
So, this guy I've been hooking up with for the past few weeks, I just found out he has a girlfriend. When I asked him about it he told me it clearly said on Facebook under his relationship status that he had a girlfriend. To all those KU guys out there: I just deleted my Facebook, so you are going to have come up with far better lame-ass excuses.

You asked students to share their memories of where they were on September 11th, but there is no mention of the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina in today's UDK.

I was in the Union on the third floor watching a Category 5 monster scream toward my family and friends, and my former home Biliox. In the year since then, I have not been able to bring myself to go home and see firsthand what has happened there.
》TALK TO US
There are students at KU who were affected by Katrina, and the destruction she left in her wake.
Being a Mississippi native, I can tell you exactly where I was a year ago
I know that there are other students here who are from Mississippi
today.

2.5.1.2 数据压缩
数据压缩是信息处理中的重要手段。通过压缩数据，可以减少数据量，提高存储效率，并降低数据传输成本。常用的压缩算法包括JFIFO、LZW、Huffman编码等。
**JFIFO**：先将数据分成若干块，逐位对齐，再逐位压缩。这种方法适用于大文件和复杂数据的压缩。
**LZW**：使用一种特殊的压缩算法，利用奇偶性来压缩数据。它通过交替使用奇数和偶数比特，使得每bit的取值频率分布不均，从而提高压缩效率。
**Huffman编码**：利用概率图表示数据，通过构建一个最优化树来压缩数据。该树根据数据的权重分配给每个比特，使每个比特对应的权重之和为1。
2.5.1.3 数据恢复
数据恢复是利用压缩后的数据来还原丢失的数据。在压缩过程中，如果某个比特被压缩，那么在解密过程中可能会出现失真的现象。为了确保数据恢复的成功率，需要注意以下几点：

STUDENTS CHOOSE YEAR OF SERVICE AFTER GRADUATION
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Volunteers learn firsthand about poverty work to educate students, community about civic service and social issues
A group of three recent college graduates have pledged a year of their lives to help establish the Center for Service Learning and to reach out to the University community.
Corinne Fetter and Meghan Walsh, 2006 University of Kansas graduates. and Cara Burnidge, 2006 Washburn University graduate, signed up with AmeriCorps VISTA for a year of service that began this summer. Volunteers work in areas ranging from homeless shelters to university campuses. The nationwide organization places volunteers in programs that suit their interests in an effort to eradicate poverty and educate the community about civic engagement and volunteer work.
The three chose to serve their year at the KU Center for Service Learning, which incorporates service learning into classrooms.
During the year, they will plan programs to contribute to service learning on campus. Service learning programs at KU allow students to earn classroom credit while participating in organized service activities. Students who participate can receive special credit on their official transcripts.
"Right now were working to recruit students for certification in service learning." Fetter said. "It is important to tie your learning in the classroom with what you learn in community."
Fetter said visiting classrooms would allow volunteers to help interested students develop professional skills and learn about social issues.
The three volunteers will be contacting student groups and residence halls and conducting class visits to raise awareness and promote service learning. They will also serve as links to faculty members who would like to incorporate more service learning and volunteer work into their courses. Off campus, the three will work with community agencies to serve and address their needs.
Fetter, Burnidge and Walsh all said they chose to serve their year at the University because they were interested in service.
oriented careers and wanted to take a year off before grad school but still contribute in a campus atmosphere.
The three volunteers will be able to better educate the community about poverty because they are living on a limited income. The AmeriCorps VISTA program provides a stipend for the volunteers that matches the poverty level of the communities where they serve. Volunteers can't hold outside jobs, so they must learn firsthand what life is like for someone living in poverty.
"I think that it will definitely make me more humble in terms of living on limited income," Fetter said.
Andi Witzcak, interim director of the center for service learning, said the volunteers' meager incomes and hands-on experience will put them into the shoes of a community in need so that they can better express the urgency of those problems to the student population.
"They will be faced with challenges for the next year that some are forced to deal with on a daily and lasting basis." Witczak said. "They are also learning how a collaborative approach between community-based organizations and the university can help to solve many problems."
Witczak said the AmeriCorps volunteers would also complete an independent service learning project that would be tied to their career goals. They are also required to complete two team-based activities, including organizing a national service day and another event to strengthen the ties between KU and the Lawrence community.
Burnidge said the experience so far had allowed her to see the world differently than she did as an undergraduate and forced her to work hard to accomplish the Center's goals.
"I've been here a week and we've already made great progress," Burnidge said. "I think we are very ambitious for where we want to be by the end of the year."

》 SERENITY NOW
NCAA can't deny joy of being a father
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
KANSAN COLUMNIST
FDAVIS@KANSAN.COM
The NCAA has done it again.
The NC-double-a-holes, the Sopranos-like organization that runs college athletics with an iron fist, denied former KU defensive lineman Eric Butler an extra year of eligibility earlier this summer and has also denied Butler's subsequent appeals.
So why does Butler need the extra year of eligibility? His eligibility clock started in 2001 when he enrolled at DeVry University in Kansas City, Mo.
According to NCAA guidelines, an athlete has five years to play four seasons. Butler's eligibility ran out last year despite only playing football for two seasons: last year with Kansas and in 2003 for the NAIA Avila Eagles out of Kansas City, Mo.
But there's a reason — a valuable, legitimate, manly reason — Butler was unable to play any football in 2001; he had to take care of his newborn daughter.
Under Title IX, the NCAA allows a one-year extension of the five-year rule if a female athlete becomes pregnant. Butler has argued that he should be entitled to paternity leave, thus granting him a one-year extension. He's filed a lawsuit stating that the rule is unfair because it only applies to females.
Now, before I get myself into any trouble with feminists or mothers out there, let me say this: there should probably be an interpretation in Butler's case, because, let's face it, we men have no argument when it comes to pregnancy.
We helped, but the baby-carrying experience is exclusively a woman's, and all I can say to that is, God bless ya, ladies.
But as far as taking care of the baby after birth, well, that's a different story. A story I can attest to because I have been there and done that. See, I have a little girl myself, and as Eric Butler can certainly relate to, raising a newborn child, taking classes and playing college football is downright exhausting.
Because here's the deal, newborns don't do homework, they don't go to class, and they really don't care much about football. My daughter was two days old for Super Bowl XXXVII between the Bucs and Raiders in 2003, and while I tried to get her excited about the biggest game in sports, she was more excited about the whole, "Hey, I'm getting used to being out of the womb, let me scream a little bit." I'm just glad the game wasn't close.
game night.
And if not caring about football isn't bad enough, there's the sleep, or not getting any sleep, factor. College kids reading this are saying, "So what? I pull all-nighters all the time." But you do it at your convenience. Newborns don't know about convenience. Convenience to them is their mother's nipple or a rubber nipple in their mouth. And a dry diaper.

Newborns are hard work. Raising a child is hard work. Being a parent and trying to balance, maintain and prepare for a career to support that child? Incredibly difficult, but not impossible. Plus, there is nothing

Volleyball girls win with 3-game sweep
Night before, motivational speaker pumped up girls for game, motivated them to victory
BY DREW DAVISON
A motivational speaker helped the KU volleyball team sweep UMKC during the home opener Tuesday night at Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
"We were all really excited to play the game," Megan Hill, senior outside hitter, said. "We had a speaker last night, and she just got us ready to go."
The Jayhawks had little trouble defeating the Kangaroos in three games, 30-21, 30-18 and 30-16.
Everybody on the team contributed to the victory, and five players had nine kills or more.
"That's always a fun part. When
everybody gets their chance and everybody does well" Hill said. "It's nice to share a win with everybody."
Coach Ray Bechard said the team played well overall, but serving was one area the Jayhawks needed to improve.
"The less we talk about serving right now, like free throw shooting, the better," he said.
Kansas committed 17 serving errors compared to UMKC's six.
"It just gets contagious, when you're serving well and when you're not serving very well," Bechard said.
Beachard said serving is the area that has the most pressure when the
team is playing at home.
Despite the added pressure on serving, Brittany Williams, freshman middle blocker, said she liked the home atmosphere and was able to feed off of it.
In game one, Kansas got off to a 3-0 lead and stopped any momentum UMKC tried to build. The Kangaroos were held to a-.125 attacking percentage, while Williams led the Kansas attack with five kills in the first match.
The Jayhawks punished the Kangaroos in game two, downing them 30-18. Brown led the team with five kills, followed by Savannah Noyes' four. Kansas' attack percentage also jumped from .343 in game
one to .469.
Fans got a little bit of entertainment when they were able to serve like the Hawks between games two and three.
KU basketball player Julian Wright tried serving, but will probably be keeping his position on the men's basketball team.
To finish off UMKC, Kansas got off to a hot start in game three, and won 30-16.
Bechard said game three was the "smoothest" game for the layhawks as their serving improved significantly, committing only two of their 17 errors in the final match.
Not only did the speaker get the team ready for the game yesterday,
but for the rest of the season.
"She got us fired up to play," Emily Brown, junior right side hitter/setter, said. "Everybody got together today and was like, 'let's prove this to ourselves; let's prove it to everybody that we're going to be a force this year.'"
Next up for the Jayhawks is the Temple Classic. The team plays Temple on Friday, then has a doubleheader with Maine and Rutgers on Saturday.

Young players to start Kerry Meier, other freshmen will assume vacated roles Saturday
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
While Mark Mangino was out recruiting players across the country, nearly every future Jayhawk told him the same thing; we want to play early.
The Kansas coach said there were at least 14 freshmen or red-shirt-freshmen players on the first or second-team roster as of Monday. Mangino said the decision to play that many younger players was not made because he needed a player to fill a spot.
It appears they'll get that chance Saturday night.

KU dropout wins big with poker
POKER
Jensen, a 23-year-old from Los Angeles, is a professional poker plaver.
Michael Jensen dropped out of college, but he didn't need a college degree to land his job.
The former KU student landed in the money in the Texas Hold 'Em event at poker's biggest series: the World Series of Poker.
BY CLAUDIA ALTERMAN
There are multiple ways to qualify for the World Series of Poker, which has a $10,000 buy-in, or entry fee. Jensen qualified for the tournament through an online poker Web site's monthly tournament. He won, and the site paid his $10,000 buy-in to the famous tournament.
Jensen first began playing poker at the age of 6, after watching family members. At age 15, his grandfather taught him how to play Texas Hold 'Em. His career in poker then launched as he entered college at St. Mary's in northern California in 2001, and continued
at the University of Kansas, where he transferred in 2003.
"A family friend bought me a clay chip set, and I began to arrange home games," Jensen said. "That was how I met people in college."
"I primarily play online, and this is where I get the majority of my income. I have an overseas checking account that wires money over and then backtracks to take it out. I play 20 hours a week on average, which amounts to about an average of 12,000 hands," he said.
By running the games, he earned part of his income, and ultimately decided that it would be more beneficial to play poker full-time than attend school. Jensen remains at his residence in Lawrence, but in 2005 he left school behind to solely pursue his career in poker.
Sometimes he opts to travel to Las Vegas or Los Angeles to play. He feels more confident playing online, however.
*Playing online you can play a lot more hands in a shorter time frame,*
so if you're a winning player, you can essentially make more money and have a higher hourly wage given the number of hands you can play," he said.
Of the 8,773 players in the World Series of Poker this summer, a significant number of them qualified online. The event began July 28, with the final table ending Aug. 10.
The competitors were split into four starting days, beginning July 28. Jensen ended his starting day, July 30, up $63,000, which put him in the top percentage of players remaining in the field.
"The first day was especially intimidating and busy. They didn't allow any spectators the first 6 hours or so, but media was coming around taking pictures of everyone," Jensen said of the atmosphere. "Jennifer Tilly (2005 Women's World Series of Poker Champion) was sitting two seats to my right at my table. She

Drafting the perfect fantasy football team
Last week you were enlightened with "The Five Commandments of Fantasy Football." Well, Moses called and informed me that there are actually 10 commandments. So, here are commandments six through 10. Next week, you will be assaulted by hard core, in-depth analysis of who to add, drop or trade. If you missed the first five commandments last week, I can't exactly remember what they were, but I think it went something like this:

BY EVAN HENGEL
KANSAN COLUMNIST
EHENGEL@KANSAN.COM
Now that youre caught up to speed, here are the final five:
6) Thou shalt not draft multiple players from the same team. Treat your players like stocks and diversify. Many amateurs love to draft QB/ WR combos in pairs (i.e. having both Eil Manning and Plaxico Burress) because on any touchdown pass to Burress, they'd receive double
points for the TD pass and catch. However, that manager would be screwed on week four (Giants' bye week) and would also be cooked if Tom Coughlin's offense reverts back to the way it was his last couple years in Jacksonville.
7) Thou shalt not draft a Denver running back. I know you're thinking, "Wait, what's he talking about? Tatum Bell and Mike Bell have both looked good in the preseason and with Mike Shanahan's system, you could plug in a girl scout at tailback and she could still rush for 1,300 yards." And you'd be right.
However, Mike Shanahan will rip your heart out. It's possible he'll switch starting running backs 36 times this year. A confused Pete Coors might start in the backfield at some point. I drafted Tatum Bell
last year, and actually, I'm not ready to talk about it vet.
8) Thou shalt scour the waiver wire. If, while eating Gumby's and watching football on a Sunday afternoon, you see Shaun Alexander get his arm ripped off by Detroit's Ernie Sims in week one, and you aren't first in line to pick up Maurice Morris (his backup), you don't deserve to win your league. Additionally, if you own Alexander, you should "handcuff" Morris to him on draft day to soften the blow to your team in case the arm removal scenario comes to fruition.
9) Thou shalt select players from your favorite team. Many experts will tell you to "draft without emotion," "think with your head, not your heart," and so on. The truth of the matter is, most fantasy leagues require an investment of somewhere between $5 and $20. Not exactly anything worth being deadly serious about. So, if you own the number one pick in your draft and you can't decide between Shaun Alexander and Larry Johnson and you're a Chiefs fan, just go ahead and take LJ. It will make Chiefs games that much more fun to watch when you
see him plow through opposing defenses the way Rosie O'Donnell plows through a buffet-line.
10) Thou shalt not be the first one to select a defense. Every year, every draft, somebody reaches and drafts Chicago, Carolina, Baltimore, or Pittsburgh's defense in the first five rounds. Let me explain this clearly: there is NO defense that that is worth taking in the first eight rounds.
Just wait it out, and while your buddies gobble up the defenses, you can stock up on quality midround backs and receivers like Laurence Maroney and Reggie Brown. If no good defenses are left in the later rounds, you can always go with the trusty "defensive roulette." This is where you search the waver wire each week for a team that plays against offensively challenged teams like Houston, San Francisco, or Buffalo.

Rain delays force play to stop at U.S. Open
Players and fans get to rest after bad weather makes day two of the Grand Slam stop-and-go
BY BEN WALKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Amelie Mauresmo wiped raindrops from her face and Lleyton Hewitt nearly skidded into a split as bad weather played havoc with the U.S. Open on a stop-and-go Tuesday.
More than 50 matches were postponed. Showers and a shaky forecast pushed back a remembrance of Hurricane Katrina on the one-year anniversary to Wednesday.
The start of play was delayed 3 1/2 hours by rain, giving sleepyeyed fans extra time to recover after watching Andre Agassi finish off his first-round win at 12:30 a.m. EDT. Light but persistent rain forced two suspensions and left the courts empty by late afternoon.
No matches came close to completion. The nine that were in progress were to be picked up at the point they were stopped.
"It can be tough when you're waiting around all day," said 13th-seeded Mary Pierce, still waiting to begin her match against Elena Vesnina of Russia. "Sometimes you have to be ready in 20 minutes after you've been waiting for hours."
The top-seeded Mauresmo won her opening set against unheralded Kristina Barrois 6-1, but was trailing 2-5 in the second when play was halted for a second time.
Mauresmo was hoping to add a third Grand Slam title this year, having won the Australian Open and Wimbledon. Barrois was making her U.S. Open debut, and had said her goal was to move into the top 100.
Only a few thousand fans were in Arthur Ashe Stadium when that match began. Those sitting in the upper deck were allowed to move down to the lower, pricey seats. That didn't stop them from booing, however, when play was stopped.
Hewitt, the 2001 U.S. Open champion, and Albert Montanes were tied at 5 in the first set when it was suspended. That came right after Hewitt's right foot slid on the slippery baseline and he almost when into a split.
The U.S. Open's official Media Operations Guide said a session must be called by 5 p.m. if play does not start. Once it begins, it's up to tournament officials.
The cutoff for the night session was 9:45 p.m. The last time an entire session was called off at the Open was 2004.
With so many matches running behind, the practice courts were jammed. Often, four players shared the same surface, simultaneously keeping two balls in play by hitting to the opposite corners.
"There's not much you can do, and there's not a lot of places you

Cornhuskers poised for comeback
BY SHAWN SHROYER
The Nebraska Cornhuskers say they're back. It won't take long to find out if they're right.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Five weeks later, Nebraska will face the team USC fell to in the national title game — Texas.
5
On Sept. 16, the Huskers will travel to Los Angeles to take on last year's BCS runner-up, Southern California.
But if any Nebraska team in recent years is prepared to run this gauntlet, it's this one. Of the 15 starters the Cornhuskers return from last season, nine are seniors and eight return on offense. That will prove invaluable to a team trying to — at last — prosper in coach Bill Callahan's west coast offense.
"I think experience is something we didn't have a whole lot of last year," senior quarterback Zac Taylor said. "This year, everybody's a lot more comfortable with each other, a lot more comfortable in the system. We know what to expect and we've been through all the ups and downs."
The 90s were full of ups for Nebraska as they trounced opponents regularly, never winning less than nine games. By those standards, the Cornhuskers have been down recently, failing to reach nine wins three of the past four seasons.
This season, the defense looks set

to reclaim its daunting "Blackshirt" persona and the offense appears ready to unleash an aerial assault that's been in the works since Callahan arrived in 2004.
In 2005, Taylor started all 12 games for Nebraska, completing 237 of 430 passes for 2,653 yards and 19 touchdowns. However, he had -41 net rushing yards.
As a result, Callahan knows Nebraska won't be able to beat the likes of USC the way Texas did last season with Vince Young.
"Zac is a pro-style quarterback," Callahan said. "We don't ask him to get out there and run the speed option on the edge."
Instead, the Huskers will find speed in the backfield with sophomore running back Marlon Lucky. As a true freshman last season, Lucky played in every game, mainly returning kicks.
If Nebraska chooses to go with a "thunder and lightning" combo in the backfield, 230-pound sophomore Cody Glenn will bring the thunder. As a true freshman last season, Glenn rushed for 131 yards and four touchdowns.
At receiver, Nebraska returns its top two from last season in sophomore Nate Swift and junior Terrence Nunn. The two combined for more than 1,000 yards last season, and scored seven touchdowns apiece.
Also rejoining the mix will be senior tight end Matt Herian, who missed all of last season with a leg injury.
Seniors Greg Austin, guard, and Kurt Mann, center, are the Cornhuskers' only returning starters on the line.
On defense, the Blackshirts will feature two preseason All-Big 12 selections and two underrated cornerbacks in the secondary.
On the line, senior defensive end Adam Carriker has been dubbed a preseason All-American in addition to his all-conference honors. Last season Carriker recorded 17 tackles for a loss and 9.5 sacks. Senior defensive end Jay Moore is Nebraska's other returning starter on the line.
At linebacker, the Huskers return all three linebackers they had startin-
early early last season in senior Stewart Bradley and juniors Corey McKeon
and Bo Ruud.
McKeon led the team in tackles last season with 98 and was second on the team with seven sacks, which helped him earn all-conference honors this preseason. Ruud was third on the team with 80 tackles last season, while Bradley missed the last seven games last season because of a knee injury.
Nebraska fans can also expect big things from senior Zackary Bowman and junior Cortney Grixby, who are returning to the starting lineup at cornerback.
The two haven't received much preseason attention, but they did combine for three interceptions and 24 pass breakups last season. Bowman said their friendship off the field has helped them perform on the field and by the end of the season, he is confident they will get the attention they deserve.
"In practice we're always pushing each other — who's going to get the first interception or who's going to make the first tackle," Bowman said. "I don't see anybody out there better than us."
Senior Andrew Shanle and junior
Tierre Green are the leading candidates to fill the free safety and strong safety spots, respectively.
With so much the same on Nebraska's roster, there will be one difference. Bowman said the Cornhuskers would go into games this season with a mindset that they will win.
That mentality will be essential for a team that will face last season's title contenders.
"That's just part of going back up to the top. We've been kind of falling down, but now we're moving our way back on up," Bowman said. "To prove to people that we're back on top, we've got to play the best teams."

more magical in this world than witnessing the birth of your first child, football be damned.
I give the utmost props to Eric Butler for making a wonderful decision. To give up football temporarily to care for his child, that's a beautiful thing. I've seen and know plenty of people who have given up their parental duties for much less than a game.
Eric Butler's ruling.
So regardless of whether Eric Butler ever plays college football again, he has something that the game can never duplicate: the pride and joy of being a father.

was definitely one of the spectacles in the room. Every photographer and video crew in the room came by at least once to snap shots, so it was a little aggravating and distracting, but you have to put up with it."
Jensen resumed action Aug. 2, and survived to the third day of play. On that day, he lost the biggest pot of the day after an opponent went all-in with his chips, and Jensen called it with a straight.
What would have been a fourth place finish on the third day turned on 65th place.
The fourth day of play, there was a $200,000 average, and Jensen was in a bad spot with only $100,000.
When three opponents called a hand, Jensen decided he was safe to throw in all of his chips, the first time he had done so the entire tournament.
He went all-in before the flop cards, hoping to intimidate the other players to fold to win their blinds and antes. That didn't happen, and an opponent flopped an ace, costing Jensen the hand and knocking him out of the tournament one hour into the fourth day.

Of the more than 8,000 entrants, the top 873 players end in the money, and Jensen finished 417th, taking home $30,514. The 2006 World Series of Poker Champion was Jamie Gold, 37, of Paramus, N.J., who won the $12 million top prize.
Jensen credits his success in poker to his understanding of human tendencies.
"You really have to understand people, whether you're playing live, at a casino or online," he said. "I know my tendencies as a human being, so it helps me better understand and interpret other's tendencies. I think just understanding people and relating with other people is the best way to get inside someone. Once you get inside of someone and you know what they're thinking, you can manipulate them to basically take their money or to beat them."

FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
tion, injuries and suspension, several starting spots for Saturday's season opener against Northwestern State are up for grabs.
With senior safety Jerome Kemp questionable for Saturday's game against Northwestern State, redshirt-freshman safety Darrell Stuckey out with an undisclosed injury and sophomore cornerback Agib Talib reportedly suspended for at least the first game, Mangino anticipates using several young players in the secondary in the interim.
Among players in the battle for those starting spots are freshmen Olaitan Oguntodu and Anthony Webb. Mangino said he has been impressed with what he has seen from Webb in practice and that he would see some time against the Demons.
"He has instincts that you need out of a corner that he brings as a true freshman that are unusual for a true freshman," Mangino said.
Young players will also see significant minutes at wide receiver. Two possible starters — sophomores Dexton Fields and Marcus Herford — made a combined eight catches last season.
Mangino said it would be difficult to identify any set starters at wide receiver because the offense used a different number of receivers for various plays. Based on the number of repetitions with Meier and the first-team offense, Mangino said that seniors Brian Murain and Dominic Roux, along with Fields and Herford, would be among the favorites for starting positions.
Throughout the preseason Mangino has called Fields the most improved player in the program. He credits Fields' improvement to hard work during the offseason and fall practices.
"He's really getting a good feel for what he sees in front of him, how to find the open area," Mangino said. "He understands the various coverages and how people are playing him, much more now than he did
in the past."
As a redshirt freshman last season, Fields made only one catch, a touchdown against Iowa State that sent the game into overtime. Following last season, Fields said he went to work improving his route running and play knowledge. He said competing for a starting spot with several other receivers has made him work harder in practice to get the coaches' attention.
"Every day, with talented receivers like Marcus Herford, Dominic and Marcus Henry, you have to bring your A game to every practice." Fields said. "You can't take plays off, because they're out there working hard too."
FOOTBALL NOTES Special teams set:
Special teams set:
Based on the latest depth chart, Mangino announced preliminary punt and kickoff returners. Herford and freshman Jake Sharp will split duties returning kickoffs. Murph, fellow senior Jonathan Lamb and sophomore Aqib Talib will share punt returns duties.
Allen available:
Despite previous reports, Mangino announced that senior defensive end Rodney Allen will be available to play in Saturday's game. It had previously been reported by the Lawrence Journal-World that Allen would miss the Northwestern State game because of a knee injury. Mangino issued a "no comment" when asked whether Talib would play against Northwestern State.
Scholarships given:
Mangino announced that former walk-ons, sophomore defensive end John Larson and junior wide receiver Jeff Foster, have both received scholarships. Since the 2002 season, 14 walk-on players have received scholarships from Mangino.

After a standout career at Free State High School, Morningstar signed with Temple and played her first three seasons there. Morningstar, however, chose to transfer to Kansas for her senior season. Morningstar played sparingly in the game, but enjoyed the atmosphere of it.
"It was great. The band was playing, the atmosphere, the crowd. I was really excited to play," said Morningstar, setter/defensive specialist and Lawrence native.
Kansas won easily, sweeping the contest 3-0 by scores of 30-21, 30-18, 30-16.
she never thought about until her last season at Temple.
"I just thought I needed something new," Morningstar said. "I thought I needed to come home."
She did not play in the first match, but she entered the game late in the second. Morningstar soon drilled a jump serve, and Kansas was in position for match-point. Helping Kansas win was something Morningstar said
And her coaches and teammates have welcomed her back with open arms, which has helped make her adjustment very smooth.
"I played with these girls on club teams before," Morningstar said. "And Coach Bechard is a family friend."
Ironically, Morningstar will be seeing friends from her previous school when the Jayhawks travel to Temple for this weekend's Temple Classic. The Jayhawks will play Temple, Maine and Rutgers. Morningstar said she was looking forward to playing her former team.
"I didn't leave on bad terms there," Morningstar said. "I'm really excited to see all the players and my friends un there."
Morningstar also thought she could be a good asset against Temple.

Quarterbacks play for roster spot
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Ryan Fitzpatrick and Dave Ragone are down to their
last opportunity to make a favorable impression in the battle for the No. 3 quarterback job for the St. Louis Rams.
The Rams (1-2) travel to Miami (1-2) Thursday for the final preseason game for both teams.
Coach Scott Linehan on Tuesday

St. Louis Rams quarterbacks Ryan Fitzpatrick (11) and Dave Ragone (8) walk to practice July 27 during the team's summer training camp in St. Louis. Both quarterbacks will get their last chance to win the No.3 quarterback slot in the team's final preseason NFL football game Thursday.
was still deciding if starting quarterback Marc Bulger or backup Gus Ferrote would play at all against the Dolphins. Other starters are expected to see limited duty, or none at all.
So the game will be largely to decide which backups earn roster spots. The Rams must trim 22 players to get down to the NFL regular-season limit of 53 by Saturday.
"Our No. 3 quarterback certainly will be getting a lot of attention and it should because it's been a heck of a battle," Linehan said. "Both will play a very significant amount in this game. We'll split it down the middle pretty much."
Neither played in Saturday's 16-12 loss in Kansas City. Statistically, the two almost are in a dead heat.
In the preseason opener at home against Indianapolis, Fitzpatrick was 8-for-11 for 51 yards while Ragone was 7-for-11 for 80 yards, though with an interception that cost the Rams a score.
In a home loss to Houston the following week, Fitzpatrick was 5-for-10 for 59 yards while Ragone was 9-for-11 for 76 yards.
Fitzpatrick won the No. 3 job last year as a rookie seventh-round draft choice from Harvard. After both Bulger and Jamie Martin went down with injuries, Fitzpatrick was named NFC offensive player of the week after leading the Rams past Houston on Nov. 27. But he lost his next three starts.
"You can't go out there and say, 'OK, I've got to throw a deep ball on this one to try to show off my arm and throw a touchdown,' Fitzpatrick said. "I've just got to go out there and play and move the ball down the field and score touchdowns."
Ragone was acquired this summer from Cincinnati for a 2007 seventhround draft pick. Both know the importance of this week's game.
Ragone knows he has to give the coaches a reason to award him the job.
"This is the last time to really kind of give the coaches something to look at," he said. "It's your last impression."
"He was getting better and he said I'm ready to go," manager Tony La Russa said. "I just don't know how ready he is."

"They've basically told me to do what I can do until we figure out what's going on," Edmonds said. "All I know is some days it's good and some days it's terrible."
in his only start since being removed from a game on Aug. 15, Edmonds struck out four times with a walk on Friday. He also struck out as a pinch hitter on Saturday, but has not played since.
ST. LOUIS — Jim Edmonds was out of the St. Louis Cardinals' lineup again on Tuesday, giving him one start in two weeks while battling post-concussion syndrome, and he doesn't know when he'll be ready to play again.
Edmonds sustained a concussion when he crashed into a wall in Chicago in an interleague game against the White Sox in June while trying to rob Joe Crede of a home run. Since then he's had intermittent bouts of dizziness, blurred vision and disorientation.
Edmonds, an eight-time Gold Glove center fielder, was batting. 260
Edmonds underwent a battery of medical tests in mid-August after leaving a game with blurred vision and dizziness. He said another trip to the doctor on Monday, a day off for the team, provided no answers.

with 18 homers and 65 RBs in 104 games. He said every day has been an adventure.
"Some days I'll wake up with a nasty headache and some days I'll wake up not feeling too bad," Edmonds said. "Depending on how that day starts, is usually how it ends."
Edmonds said he's not getting pushed by management to play. The Cardinals signed outfielder Preston Wilson after the symptoms began to intensify.
"I'm not getting any read on that," he said. "I'm getting the doctor telling me to be careful."
The more activity he has, the worse the symptoms usually become for Edmonds. He said team doctors have told him he just has to wait for the symptoms to subside.
Congratulations
"The doctor said there's no timetable," Edmonds said. "It could be a week, it could be 10 days, it could be two months."
The Cardinals are likely to go a player short for a few more days until rosters can be expanded on Friday.

Juan Encarnación has moved from right field to center in most of the games Edmonds has missed.
"My guess is we'll find a way to get through it," manager Tony La Russa said. "The key is can we get him in there so he's performing and contributing, being productive.
"I had him playing tomorrow, but I don't know if I can play him tomorrow."

ENTERTAINMENT Actor gets restraining order against fan
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Actor Colin Farrell has obtained a three-year restraining order against a woman who confronted him during a taping last month of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
sued in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday requires that Dessarae Bradford, 31, stay at least 150 yards away from Farrell, his 2-year-old son and the toddler's mother, model Kim Bordenave.
The preliminary injunction is-
The order expires in August 2009.
In a statement to The Associated Press, Bradford said she would ask the court to set aside the restraining order.
The order expires in August 2005. Bradford confronted the Irish actor on July 20 after walking onto the "Tonight" set at the NBC studios in Burbank. She was a ticketed member of the audience.
Farrell escorted Bradford off-stage and NBC security personnel took her off the premises.
Farrell's publicist, Danica Smith, could not immediately be reached for comment.

Patrick McKenna, Minneapolis sophomore, rides up and prepares to park his scooter outside of Wescoe Tuesday afternoon. The number of students who drive scooters is on the rise." I got my scooter last year because it makes my life easier. I can pull up and park five minutes before class and still be on time." McKenna said.
Popularity of mopeds soars as gas prices continue to rise Mopeds mean better gas mileage, lower cost for parking on campus
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Long lines at the gas pump have translated to long lines of mopeds at campus bike racks.
The Parking Department has sold 85 moped parking permits so far this year. Ninety were sold last year.
Mopeds have gained popularity in the past year, given soaring gas prices and a $70-to-$135 gap between the cost of parking permits for mopeds and cars.
The efficiency of mopeds makes them a more economic investment than standard cars, because they average 100 to 120 miles per gallon. A standard sedan gets a fraction of that. For example, a Honda Civic averages 36 mpg. The advantages, though, go beyond mileage.
A moped permit costs $15 per semester or $25 per year, while a yellow zone car permit is $85 per semester and $160 per year.
Ricardo Hsu, Brazil junior, said his moped got 120 mpg. Two weeks ago, Hsu cashed in on a Lawrence
Campus Coupon for a $150 discount at SubSonic Scooters, where prices range from $1,149 to $3,995.
Mike Degraw,
owner of SubSonic
Scooters. 624 N.
Degraw said that if a moped's engine was smaller than 50 cubic centimeters, insurance was not required. Another plus, he said, is that any kind of driver's license suffices.
Even a driver's license suspend-

Adam Wood, Lawrence sophomore, spends about $4 to fill his
Viper moped tank every two weeks. He purchased his moped more than a year ago. He said that back then, he parked his moped next to about four others. Now, mopeds are lined up by the bike racks.
Wood said he didn't think he should need a parking permit.
"It's stupid." Wood said. "You don't have to buy a permit for a bike."
Some students buy mopeds just to avoid campus traffic and paying for car parking permits. That's what Brad Scott, Parsons senior, did.
"It's the best purchase I've ever made," he said.

Work done out of sight; still on track
New Multicultural Resource Center still on track for opening next fall
BY NATE MCGINNIS
The grassy hill between the Kansas Union and its parking garage remains vacant more than three months after ground was broken there for the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center.
"There is work going on; it's just not visible," said Santos Núñez, program director of the Multicultural Resource Center.
Now, the focus is on preconstruction work, identifying power and water lines and determining how to reroute them during construction, Nunez said. Excavation is expected to begin in a few weeks.
"We encourage students to be patient and understand that
The construction of the new Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center has encountered no delays thus far, and should open by fall 2007. Núñez said.
Chris Reine, Kansas City Mo., junior, and president of the Black Student Union, said the center would provide opportunities to expand multicultural awareness.
"People around here are different and we all need to get to know each other." Reine said.

New lot enjoyed, but used by few
Topeka Freshman Jolee Kosmala makes the inconvenient, 20-minute commute from her hometown to the University of Kansas each morning, but nothing is inconvenient about parking once she arrives.
Kosmala uses the new, expansive West Campus Park and Ride lot. When she pulls in, a sign indicates how many spaces are available. She hardly spends any time waiting for a bus and then makes the trip to campus in air-conditioned comfort.
But fewer than 1,000 people are
taking advantage of the amenities Kosmala enjoys.
Donna Hultine, director of the Parking Department, said only 931 Park and Ride passes had been sold as of Wednesday, less than two-thirds of what the department hoped for when the lot was envisioned.
"When we were first planning it, we thought we could sell 1,500 passes," Hultine said.
Despite falling well short of its goal, Hultine said the Parking Department was not concerned, and was even a little relieved.

Where were you on September 11?
From: Kansan copy chief Patrick Ross
I woke up to get ready for work and turned on the TV like I always did. CNN was reporting its usual morning news. I got in the shower, got ready for work and came back into the living room to find that the World Trade Center had been struck by a plane.
I couldn't sit and watch like I wanted to, because I had to get to work. By the time I got there, the second plane had struck the center. I worked at a bank and customers would update us on the situation as they came by to deposit and withdraw money.

Free merchandise tempts students Gifts are a common credit card sales tactic that snare many on campus
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
T-shirts, posters and coozies are some of the freebies that students can expect to get this semester. The catch: They have fill out credit card applications.
A survey of 460 college students conducted by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group found that more than two-thirds of the surveyed students had credit cards and that one-third of students obtained those credit cards from on-campus tables. Of that one-third, 80 percent cited free gifts as the reason for applying.

Free gifts can be enticing, espe-
A 2004 study conducted by Nellie May, a student loan provider, found the average credit card debt among college students was $2,169.
Dennie Rosen, professor of marketing, said credit card companies'
practice of enticing students with gifts was an accepted marketing strategy. He compared the gifts to cereal companies putting toys at the bottom of the box.
Companies have used gifts for services for a long time, Rosen said.
"Personally, I don't fault the credit card companies," he said. "I wish students had the proper education about how to properly use them."

CAMPUS Haworth evacuated briefly because of odd smell
Haworth Hall was evacuated for nearly 30 minutes Wednesday morning after someone reported a suspicious odor in the building.
Cant. Schuyler Bailey said the University of Kansas Public Safety Office received a call from the building at 10:27 a.m. after someone smelled a burnt rubber-like odor on the third floor of the
building's Stewart Wing, the four-story addition on the east end of Haworth Hall. The public safety office and Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical responded to the call. The building was evacuated at 10:45 a.m. and students, faculty and staff were allowed back in the building at 11:12 a.m.
The addition houses child-care facilities on the first floor. Children in those areas were evacuated to other classrooms in the Dole Human Development Center, south of Watson Library, said Michael Russell, director
Russell said the problem was solved by airing out the building. The odor originated from a sealant being used in a construction project. As the substance hardens, it emits a smell similar to the chemical used to detect natural gas leaks, which was distributed throughout the building by air handlers. The same handlers now feed all of their air outside, he said.

Buckeyes give Kellogg a run for its money
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Snap, Crackle and Pop have some competition in Columbus. The Ohio State Buckeyes have their own cereal.
Buckeye HerOes, the newest university-licensed food, will be available in grocery stores before the No.1-ranked Ohio State football team opens its season Saturday against Northern Illinois at Ohio Stadium.
The honey-nut-flavored oat cereal joins other Ohio State foods such as pasta, chips, salsa, hot dogs, mustard and hot sauces, as well as candy Buckeyes.
Former Buckeyes linebackers and current NFL rookies Bobby Carpenter, A.J. Hawk and Anthony Schlegel are featured on the

Vince Barken, associate professor of business, and David Gaston, director of the University Career Center, offered several tips for using social networking Web sites;
A new Facebook stalker may arrive soon.
Online tips
Call this one the job-stalker, said Vince Barker, associate professor of business.
Employers have used Facebook and MySpace to screen applicants for jobs, and now potential employees are using social networking sites to search for insider information about companies and job opportunities.
- If you're passionate about market research or any other job-related discipline, list it in your profile.
- Ask current employees what their days are like or what they enjoy about their jobs.
"A savvy person can recognize when they're being used for job connections." Barker said. "But you can use that connection with people to find out what it's like to work somewhere or to find hot-button issues with interviewers."
Searching "marketing" or "accounting" can bring up the names of people who may have jobs in that field. During the summer, MySpace partnered with SimplyHired.com to create a basic job search engine.
- Use online networking to find "hidden" jobs that haven't made it to job application boards yet.
The service allows a user to search for jobs at a company or in a particular field, contact others within that field or even talk to current employees who list a place of work on their profiles.
MySpace is the career Web site of choice for Mandi McCoy, Olathe senior. McCoy's online profiles on MySpace and Facebook showcase her modeling career and regularly draw job offers from photographers.
"Everything I've done in the last year has been through e-mail and the Internet," McCoy said. "I don't really use my modeling agency at all."
McCoy's most recent shoot, a Kansas City Chiefs calendar, came about because of a contact she made through her MySpace account.
- Don't lie about past jobs or experience. Such deception may soon be as frowned-upon as lying in a résumé.
McCoy uses networking sites to post pictures of previous shoots, her modeling portfolio and contact information for prospective pho-
mouth.
Beware the fakers, though,
McCoy said. If a photographer
promises an all-expense-paid trip
to the Caribbean, the job probably
isn't real.
And though the profile may help land a job, the information is out there for anyone to review, not just a prospective employer.
"When you throw information about yourself out there to everyone else, you lose control over how it's used," Barker said.
Despite opening Facebook to the employees of major companies like Overland Park-based Sprint Nextel, the job search isn't the biggest item on Facebook's plate, said Melanie Deitch, a Facebook spokeswoman. But Facebook's founders discovered
that students tended to stay with Facebook's social network even after graduating.
"As people leave colleo to make sure Facebook continues to serve this purpose for them," Deitch said.
About 45 percent of recent college alumni check their Facebook profiles daily, Deitch said.
The University Career Center encourages students to research companies that they are interested in working for, said David Gaston, the center's director.
Being too gossipy or picking up bad attitudes from a few disgruntled employees won't help if an applicant is eager to land a job somewhere,
"Everything I've done in the last year has been through e-mail and the Internet."
Gaston said. Interviewers may ask what kind of research an applicant did to prepare for the interview, and it's best to present positively what was learned
MANDI MCCOY

Online networking can be a "proactive and useful thing for people if it's used in the right way," Gaston said. "If someone's obie

tively done their research across the board, then they'll be in the best position for a good job."

Marriage can make life longer,better
Eight-year study finds that married people have longer lives
BY ANNA FALTERMEIEP
Looking to live longer? Try getting married.
According to an eight-year study of more than 80,000 Americans, people who never marry are 58 percent more likely to die prematurely than those who marry.
Two University of California researchers conducted the study. They used data from the 1989 National Health Interview Survey and death certification data from 1997. The study didn't include gay couples or unmarried heterosexual couples living together.
"The findings underline the importance of social support," said John Wade, counseling psychologist at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Wade said a stable relationship could reduce stress and help people build a plan for the future.
"I think especially as you get older, if you're single, it's stressful in a practical way," Wade said. "Financially, it's easier to make it if you have two working spouses."

"It makes it so much easier when there are two people who can deal with these sort of things," Anne said. "It was a very difficult time for us."
Besides help in dealing with disasters, Anne said she thought marriage could lower stress levels because of the peace of mind that comes from being settled.
"You don't have to go out every Saturday," she said. "Last night we stayed together and knitted."
As the song goes, one is the loneliest number. Wade said loneliness could be stressful and difficult.
"I think we're social beings and we need affirmation and emotional support," he said.
"It's nice to come home to somebody and not only a cat," Anne said. Last year Ted had to work nights and she said it was horrible.
Wade said good communication, mutual respect and expressed affection were all important for a healthy marriage.

Congress candidate speaks at ECM forum
Republican Chuck Ahner to challenge incumbent Dennis Moore to represent Kansas' 3rd District
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
A U.S. House of Representatives candidate spoke at a university forum Wednesday at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries. Chuck Ahner, a Republican, spoke to approximately 35 people about his candidacy and what he could offer if voted into Congress.
Ahner won the primary elections in August. He will run against incumbent Rep. Dennis Moore, D-Lawrence.
Ahner said he hoped people could look beyond his lack of name recognition.
"People look for star power to go to Washington," Ahner said. "I ask people to look at my record."
Ahner fielded questions from the audience about issues such as health care, the federal deficit and the Iraq War.
Ahner, a former military intelligence officer, said he was embarrassed about the failure of U.S. intelligence leading up to the Iraq War.
Robert Friauf, professor emeritus of physics and astronomy and a Democrat, said he came to the forum to listen to the other side's opinion.
"I think the candidate handled himself well, but I don't agree with everything." Friauf said.

Milton's opens second location to increase options for students
KANSAS UNION

Milton's, a favorite downtown Lawrence restaurant, has moved into the third floor of the Kansas Union, providing a new on-campus food choice.

the downtown location. The Union location, because it lacks a pizza oven, offers more sandwich choices than the downtown store, 920 Massachusetts St. The new location also does not have an espresso bar, but specialty coffee drinks are available at the Milton's coffee bar on the first floor of the Union.
Dave Lewis, owner of Milton's, said he was excited about the opportunity to tap into the student population and to use the restaurant to increase Milton's visibility at the University of Kansas.
"It's a good opportunity to enhance the coffee shop and have a little more presence on campus,"
Lewis said.
Lewis said he would like to see students come to the restaurant more and is advertising to students.
Milton's space in the Union was previously occupied by the Westside Deli and Bistro, a local business at 4931 W. Sixth Street.
Michael Levy, owner of Westside Deli and Bistro, was on vacation and not available to comment about why his Union location closed.

Iraqi troops soon ready to take over Despite no signs of an end to the violence, the U.S. may hand over security control to Iraqi forces within 18 months
WELCOME
HOME
By ELENA BECATOROS Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq — The top U.S. commander in Iraq expressed optimism Wednesday that Iraqi forces are making enough progress to provide their own security within 18 months. But violence showed no sign of abating, with 66 people killed nationwide, including 24 in a Baghdad market bombing.
Sgt. Gregory Lock, left, with the 101st Airborne Division, gets a kiss from his wife Dewanna during a homecoming ceremony at Fort Campbell, Kv after spending a year in Iraq.
The U.S. military also reported Wednesday that a Marine was killed in action the day before in the volatile western Anbar province.
U. S. troops leaving immediately. It is part of a U.S. military plan to hand over responsibilities, move into large bases and provide support while Iraqis take the lead. A U.S. drawdown would start after that occurred.
Gen. George Casey said Iraqi troops were on course to take over security control from U.S.-led coalition forces, a move that would bring the foreign forces a step closer to withdrawal from the country.
His comments came even as violence surged in the capital and elsewhere, undercutting claims by U.S. and Iraqi officials that a Baghdad security crackdown has lowered Sunni-Shiite killings, which had risen in June and July.
"I don't have a date, but I can see over the next 12 to 18 months, the Iraqi security forces progressing to a point where they can take on the security responsibilities for the country, with very little coalition support," he said.
That takeover would not mean
Greg Williamson/Associated Press
in the past, only to have killings flare again once American forces left.
A bomb struck one of Baghdad's largest market areas, where food, clothing and household goods are sold, killing at least 24 people and wounding 35, police said.
On Monday, U.S. military spokesman Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell said the murder rate in Baghdad had fallen by 46 percent from July to August and "we are actually seeing progress out there." That figure could not be independently confirmed.
U. S. officials attributed the fall in sectarian killings to a major security crackdown launched Aug. 7. About 8,000 U.S. troops and 3,000 Iraqi soldiers were sent to the capital to search homes systematically and patrol the streets.
In Hillah, 60 miles south of the capital, a man posing as a potential army cadet left a bomb-laden bicycle outside a recruiting center, killing 12 people, police said. Insurgents often target Iraqi army and police recruits as a way to discourage volunteers.
Similar operations have curbed violence for limited periods of time
Elsewhere, a roadside bomb killed a family of five in Buhriz, 35 miles north of the capital, when a roadside bomb struck their car. Bombings and shootings elsewhere in the country killed another 25 people, according to police.
Still, Casey said he was optimistic about security in Iraq and he said an operation to crack down on violence in the capital was producing results — although more needed to be done.
"I'm pleased with the progress to date, but we have a long way to go." Casey said. "And we're not going to let up until we get where we're going and bring security to the neighborhoods of Baghdad."
Asked if Iraqi forces were capable of taking over completely after the 12 to 18 month period, allowing U.S.-led coalition forces to withdraw, Casey said that would depend on the situation at that time.
"I'm not sure yet," he said of the Iraqi security capability. "And we'll adjust that as we go. But a lot of that, in fact the future coalition presence, 12 to 18 months from now, is going
to be decided by the Iraqi government."
The coalition has been training and equipping Iraqi forces, and Casey said they are now "75 percent" along the path of being able to operate alone.
"There's still more work to do for them to become independent," he said, adding that "during that process, they will still have our support and our substantial presence here to assist them."
soldiers in the south mutinied and refused to be deployed to Baghdad for a massive security operation under way in the capital, and by the looting last week of a base that British forces had turned over to Iraqi authorities.
This week's bloodshed included some of the fiercest fighting in months between the Iraqi army and Shiite militiamen loyal to radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Monday's battle in the town of Diwaniyah left 73 people dead — 50 militia and 23 soldiers.

HOMECOMING
University, city to sponsor concert
BY MARK VIERTHALER
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and the University of Kansas have teamed up for a concert to extend homecoming activities for students and alumni.
The Lawrence City Commission approved a proposal for the concert to take place on the evening of Friday, Oct. 6. The Michael Beers Band has been scheduled to open the event. Organizers are still working with other artists to book two other acts.
"Get Downtown" will be the first time the University and the chamber have worked together to create a homecoming event. The chamber had proposed live music for the Friday preceding the game, the same night the University had scheduled a similar event at Potter Lake.
Jennifer Alderdice, director of student programs at the Alumni Association, said the chamber approached the homecoming committee to combine the two events.
The University of Kansas Alumni Association will help pay for the entertainment.
Rick Marquez, director of Downtown Lawrence, Inc., said the concert would take place on Eighth Street between Massachusetts and New Hampshire Streets. The commission also approved a temporary liquor license for sale of alcoholic beverages outdoors. Security will be present to deter violent behavior during the event, Marquez said.
Alderdice said the homecoming committee was attempting to get students and alumni to spend more time in Lawrence for homecoming, rather than arriving just for the game and leaving afterward.
"It may become a tradition," Alderdice said. "Even if the city doesn't participate again, we would like to continue it."
The chamber surveyed businesses along the affected area before submitting the proposal to see if any vendors objected to the event. Susan Henderson, director of marketing for the chamber, said all of the businesses were in full support of the event.
"It's a positive thing for downtown," she said. "Any time you get a big group of people in one place, it's going to have a positive effect."
The event is open to all community members. Henderson said.

AIRPLANE CRASH
Understaffed towers cause dangers
BY JEFFREY MCMURRAY ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEXINGTON, Ky. — The deadly Comair crash last weekend threw a spotlight on a practice aviation experts say goes on around the country: Small regional airports are sometimes manned by a single air traffic controller, even though federal rules require two.
The Federal Aviation Administration has directed Blue Grass Airport and others like it to staff their towers with at least two controllers. But only one was working Sunday when the pilot of Comair Flight 5191 mistakenly tried to take off from a runway that was too short, killing 49 of 50 people on board.
In a policy outlined in a directive last November, the FAA said two controllers must be on duty for all shifts at any airport that handles both control tower observations and radar operations.
But Ken Spirito, director of a regional airport in Peoria, Ill.,
said it was common for some late-night and early morning shifts to be staffed with only one controller. Someone may call in sick or take a vacation, and the FAA usually decides to keep the airport open, he said.
"The mandate that is issued by FAA is only as good as the staffing levels at that particular tower." Spirito said.
FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown said that at the time of the accident, there were only two other towers — in Duluth, Minn., and Fargo, N.D. — that were not following the policy to staff with two controllers.
"We have clarified the guidance for them." Brown said.
She said staffing was adjusted at four other towers earlier this month, before the Comair crash. "This is an issue we've been looking at," she said.
Scott Zoeckler, who worked as a controller at Blue Grass for 25 years before retiring in 2004, said the overnight and early morning shifts were usually manned by only one person.
On Sunday, the controller on duty at the Lexington airport had turned his back to perform some "administrative duties" when the plane veered onto the wrong runway, investigators said. The controller, a 17-year veteran at the airport, has not been identified.
The first officer, James Polehinke, remained hospitalized Wednesday in critical condition.
Jed Doty, a Louisville flight instructor who also flew briefly for Comair last year, said it was the pilot's duty to get on the right runway.
"It's your responsibility to immediately speak up because, especially in busy airports, you can get in some pretty bad situations pretty quickly." Doty said.
On Wednesday, six tour buses took the victims' families to the crash site for the first time. The airport also established a memorial in a parking lot, featuring a banner reading "Remembering 5191" with pens for people to write messages.

Seven receive study abroad scholarships
Program promotes unusual Asian destinations
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Bollig is one of seven University of Kansas students receiving a Freeman-ASIA scholarship to study abroad in Asia, a continent growing economically but lagging behind in study abroad interest.
Peter Bollig is packing his bags and heading for Hong Kong for the Fall 2006 semester as a recipient of a Freeman-ASIA scholarship. He said his goal was to become fluent in Chinese by practicing his skills hands-on.
Renee Frias, program coordinator for the Office of Study Abroad, said 74.8 percent of KU students who studied abroad studied in Europe last year while only 8.4 percent studied in Asia.
The Freeman Foundation began the Freeman-ASIA award program in 2000 to address discrepancies like this. Bollig said the lack of attention toward Asia was one reason he decided to apply for the scholarship.
"Despite the major economic and political powers in Asia, I feel
many Americans dismiss this large part of our world," Bollig said. "It
is definitely important to understand the world we live in, especially the aspects which we least comprehend"
More than 2,500 American students nationwide, including 31 KU students, have received assistance from the Freeman- ASIA program since it began.

If granted the scholarship, the program requires that students propose a service project, in which the students would use their experiences to promote study abroad in Asia once they return to the University.

"Overall, for many majors, study in Asia is important," Frias said. "Asia is a growing economic sector, there is a lot of potential for imports and exports. It is important that Americans know about the possibilities."

Wichita businessman pleads guilty to fraud
BY ROXANA HEGEMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — A Wichita manufacturing company, its owner and a general manager pleaded guilty Wednesday to knowingly hiring illegal immigrants and agreed to pay a total of $210,000 in fines. The company's foreman pleaded not guilty.
Bob Eisel Powder Coatings and its owner and president, Bob Eisel, pleaded guilty to a single count of making false written statements to the government after reaching a plea agreement with prosecutors in the case. General manager Kenric "Butch" Steinert also pleaded guilty to the same charge.
"There is a message here for law-abiding employers," U.S. Attorney Eric Melgren said in a news release. "Knowingly assisting illegal aliens to appear qualified for employment in this country is a crime."
Company foreman Troy Hook entered a not guilty plea earlier in the day to the same 28-count indictment that had initially faced all the defendants in the case.
Melgren said the company singled itself out for criminal prosecution by deliberately trying to get around federal laws requiring workers to verify their right to work in this country.
Eisel and Steinert acknowledged they intentionally made false statements between 2002 and 2005 to the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
"Here in the interior of the United States, we're focusing on employers who systematically violate the laws against hiring illegal aliens," Melgren
According to the superseding information, the men told authorities that Francisco Javier Avila-Garcia, also known as "Poncho," presented employment documents that were genuine when in fact they knew the documents were fraudulent.
said. "Everyone in Kansas should be aware this enforcement effort is ongoing."
Neither the defendants nor a defense attorney commented to reporters after the hearing.
The single count to which the defendants pleaded guilty carries a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison.
As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors agreed to seek the low end of sentencing guidelines. The company also agreed to pay a $175,000 fine. Eisel agreed to pay a $25,000 fine while Steinert agreed to a $10,000 fine.
The judge is not bound by the plea agreement when he sentences the men.
The original indictment included eight counts of making false statements to the U.S. government, eight counts of misusing Social Security numbers, eight counts of receiving false documents as evidence of stay or employment, three counts of aggravated identity theft and one count of harboring illegal aliens.
Wood, who has not reached a plea agreement, still faces those charges.
When the company began receiving periodic letters in 2002 from the Social Security Administration notifying it that several of its employees were working under suspicious Social Security numbers, the company told employees they would have to obtain different numbers to continue working, according to the indictment.
The company would then "rehire" the same worker using the new identification, while allowing the worker to retain any benefits such as vacation or sick leave tied to length of service, the indictment charges. Prosecutors have said many of the same employees worked under as many as five or six separate false identities over a period of years.

Poor turnout prompts study
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — In light of record-low participation in this month's primary elections, Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh will study the idea of holding them at some other time of year.
It's one of those things we continually look at, but we'll probably take a little harder look at it this time." Thornburgh said Wednesday. "We can't ignore the horrendous turnout from this
last primary and anything we can do to try to make a difference with that, I'm willing to look at."
Thornburgh commented after he, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Attorney General Phill Kline's chief deputy certified the results from the Aug. 1 balloting.
Turnout totaled just 18.2 percent, or 229,000 of the state's more than 1.6 million registered voters. The previous low for a statewide primary was 25.8 percent, in 2002.

But not all students are quick to accept the free t-shirts offered by credit card companies soliciting on campus.
There are other options. Commerce Bank at the Kansas Union offers credit cards with a $1,000 limit to help protect its student customers from overdrafting their checking accounts. Commerce addresses students at New Student Orientation, shows a power point presentation during Academic Success Week and offers pamphlets at its locations about how to use credit cards and manage credit.
Lindsay Feil, Russell freshman, said that she learned from the mistake her brother made when he was a student and that she hadn't filled out any credit card applications.
"Nothing's ever free," Feil said.

"We don't think it's a bad thing." Hultine said. "In retrospect, we're kind of glad we didn't sell that huge number right away. It's letting us take time for scheduling and figuring out the ebb and flow of classes."
Hultine said she didn't expect many more students to buy Park and Ride passes at this point in the school year, which would make the current total close to final.
Students who do use the lot, however, enjoy the amenities the new system offers.
"The buses are way nice," said Krista Miller, Richlands, Va., senior. "They're air conditioned so I don't have to sweat on the way to classes, which is a big plus."
Miller said she would recommend the Park and Ride lot.
"At peak times they come frequently enough." Miller said.
She said she was also happy with the bus route and the number of spaces in the lot, as well as the bus schedule.
Kosmala also said that delays were not a problem.
"You've just got to know what time to get here," Kosmala said.
Park and Ride passes can still be purchased for $205 through the parking department.

Scholarship halls await new Center
Construction delays move completion date of Community Center to next semester; space available for all 11 halls
BY JYL UNRUH

into the scholarship halls though, they saw the outside of the white two-story building wrapped in caution tape. Inside the building, bare wood stood where walls would eventually be built.
The project
went through a number of unexpected delays, preventing the center from
being ready in the projected time frame. When construction crews started working on the building's foundation, they found it was no longer stable. The building had to be moved forward and the foundation was repaired, said Diana Robertson, interim director of department of student housing.
Finding funds for the unexpected extra construction was another cause for the delayed opening. The department of student housing covered the extra expenses.
Other miscellaneous hang-ups also prevented the project from being completed on time. Before construction crews could start repairing the foundation, paperwork had to be filed with the state. A shortage of
construction crews in Lawrence during the summer also added to the delay.
"Each hall has individual living and dining areas, but there isn't a place for all of the scholarship hall community to gather." Robertson said.
The building will also hold the office of the All Scholarship Hall Council, a conference room that can be used for meetings or for students to study or work on projects and a small kitchenette. The upper level of the community center will house an office and apartment for the complex, director Hayner said.
Resources offered by the Crawford Community Center aren't limited to rooms inside the building.
A definite date hasn't been set for the doors to open. Robertson predicted that January was the earliest it would be completed, but that the center might not be finished until later in the Spring 2007 semester.
Despite the wait, students are still looking forward to the center's completion.
"I think it's worth investing in something that will improve all the schol halls and change the dynamic of the community," said Jen Mayer, All Scholarship Hall Council representative.
Before becoming the Crawford Community Center, the building was the home of Reginald and Juanita Strait. Because they lived near the halls, the Straits befriended many of
the residents.
The house and grounds were donated by Juanita Straight after she passed away. She gave them to the community because of her close connection with the scholarship hall residents, Hayner said.
A donation from scholarship hall alumni Tom and Jan Kudkin covered the expenses to transform the house into the community center. The center is named after Jan's mother.

Students start club for aspiring entrepreneurs

New entrepreneurship classes prove popular without advertising, even for students outside the School of Business
BY SAM CARLSON
There's a new club on campus for students who wish to one day own a small business. Two KU students started the KU Entrepreneur Club in an attempt to help fellow aspiring entrepreneurs.
"There's nothing here at Kansas right now for entrepreneurs to get involved with. It's just an easy way for people that have ideas or are interested in starting a small business to get information," club member Adam Masonbrink, Fairway senior,
said. Masonbrink said he hoped the club would be firmly established by mid-September.
The club is the brainchild of Justin McAuley, Houston, Texas, senior, a student in the School of Business.
"Last year I had a few ideas for my own line and I realized there's really nowhere to go or nobody to talk to and I thought it would be cool if there was a club where students could meet and facilitate thought and ask questions and get answers," McAuley said.
Masonbring and McAuley said that they were the two main members,

Possible future activities for the club include lectures by local guest speakers and tours of nearby businesses. The group is discussing its future financial picture, though.
"The University's sponsorship is a possibility. The students paying their own way in terms of donations is a possibility." Meyer said.
Interest in entrepreneurship seems to be growing at the University. Meyer said the recently introduced
courses are gaining popularity.
"In the very first entrepreneurship class that we offered last year we had 85 students sign up without any advertising. This year we've got another 65 or 70 students signed up and the majority of them are from schools other than the School of Business," Meyer said.

Storm causes less damage than forecaster's original predictions
Associated Press
BY MARGARET LILLARD
RALEIGH, N.C. — North and South Carolina put hundreds of National Guardsmen on standby Wednesday for fear the rainy remnants of Tropical Storm Ernesto could cause severe flooding.
Forecasters said Ernesto could drench the eastern half of North Carolina with as much as seven inches of rain on Thursday and Friday. A separate storm system arriving ahead of Ernesto also threatened the region.
"We could get a clobbering today," National Weather Service forecaster Phil Badgett said.
Ernesto weakened to a tropical depression while crawling north through Florida. Its winds were less a concern to emergency officials than the prospect of downpours.
Ernesto was expected to move off the Florida coast by evening and possibly regain tropical storm strength. Forecasters predicted it would come ashore again Thursday along the South Carolina coast and reach North Carolina by Thursday night.
Easley activated 150 National Guardsmen and ordered the State Emergency Response Team to prepare for flooding and power outages. Guard troops in South Carolina were on standby, Lt. Col. Pete Brooks said.
"We know we're going to get a lot of rain. We know this is going to be a water event," North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley said.
North Carolina has struggled this summer with on-again, off-again drought.
"If we could get the rain where it was spread out over 12 to 24 hours, where it was

a good, soaking rain, (flooding) would not be an issue," Badgett said.
At 8 p.m. EDT, Ernesto was centered just northwest of Melbourne, Fla., moving north at near 15 mph. The depression had winds near 35 mph, or about 4 mph below tropical storm strength.
It was expected to be over the Atlantic near Cape Canaval within a few hours, the National Hurricane Center said. The storm had not affected the space shuttle, which may launch next week after a lightning strike and Ernesto forced delays.
Little storm damage was reported in Florida, where Ernesto came ashore Tuesday night.

Show some guts, KU. Teach intelligent design.
KU should teach I.D.
Conservative state legislators questioned Mirecki's intent with the class, and some even suggested withholding funding from the University.
Last fall, a religion class, "Special Topics in Religion: Intelligent Design, Creationism and other Religious Mythologies," drew attention after its professor, Paul Mirecki, wrote on a list server that the class would serve as a slap in the "big fat face" of religious fundamentalists.
So, under pressure, the University scrapped the class. Chancellor Hemenway sent the right message to conservative legislators who didn't want the class taught at all, saying clearly that it was being canceled because of Mirecki, not because of the content of the class.
The University needs to take on contentious issues, and there is no issue in Kansas as contentious as the evolution vs. intelligent design debate.
So what's become of the class?
Not much.
Tim Miller, chairman of the Department of Religious Studies, said he still wants to offer the class, but won't say when.
The spring 2007 schedule is already set, and the class isn't included. During the next month, the department will draw up the schedule for next fall.
So, go ahead and do it. The time to teach the class is now, while students are interested.
Miller said that if the class is offered, it would likely be team-taught by several lecturers to show the varying perspectives on the subject. But he said scheduling such classes was complicated, and he didn't know if the department could get it worked out in time to offer the class a year from now.
"If we can figure out these problems with it, and get everything lined up, wed like to go ahead and do it," he said.
The University needs to offer this class, and show legislators it's not scared to do so.

OPINION
Watch out for scams
Have you ever wished that while you were walking to class, an extremely attractive person would approach you and ask for your phone number? It happens to me all the time. But I'm not bragging; these people aren't really after me anyway, they are after my money. I probably sound like an egotistical jerk, but the truth is I'm not stuck up or talking about gold-diggers. I'm talking about magazine salespeople.
Every year about this time, these salespeople swarm all over campus. They claim to sell magazines for various charities or causes, and that if you buy magazines from them, they can earn points to go on a free vacation. Unfortunately, the charitable organizations they allegedly represent often never receive the money and customers don't always receive their magazines.
There is a growing epidemic of magazine sales scams going on at college campuses all across the country. At the University of Arizona, a student recently reported that magazine salespeople had scammed her out of money for a magazine subscription she never received. This summer, Dartmouth College in New Hampshire reported a magazine scam artist who falsely claimed to be fundraising for the school's football team. These are just a couple of the many examples.
Now don't get me wrong, there are plenty of legitimate organizations that raise funds by selling things on campus, but the methods these magazine scammers use are deceptive. They will approach you on campus as though they are hitting on you, or they will act like your best friend. They do this for no other reason than to make you, the "customer," more likely to buy what they are selling. They keep up this ultra-friendly routine until you say "no." At that point, the other shoe drops, and your new best friend turns into your worst enemy. In fact, these unscrupulous magazine salespeople have cussed out friends of mine simply because they weren't interested in buying any magazines.

KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINIONOKANSAN.COM
Tim Norris, director of the KU Bookstores, said potential on-campus vendors must go through the Events Committee before receiving a permit to sell things legally. Student organizations receive permission to do so almost all of the time. If someone approaches you claiming to be fundraising for a student organization, ask to see their permit. Student organizations should not have trouble producing a permit to raise funds on campus.
So the next time an incredibly attractive person comes up to you and asks you on a date before giving you a sales pitch, remember the old adage, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is."

Conservatives are realistic, not heartless
For my birthday a couple of weeks ago, a good friend of mine from K-State gave me a T-shirt ordered off the Internet. It's bright red with white lettering that reads, "Ice Cold Conservative," with "Conservative" printed in the Coca-Cola font.
My favorite thing about this shirt is that it characterizes conservatives as ice cold. Conservatives take a lot of pride in this characterization. We call ourselves heartless, as opposed to those "bleeding-heart" liberals who turn into a pile of mush at any sob story. We'll tastelessly joke to one another about how we sometimes punch homeless people for fun (we don't really punch homeless people, but we do occasionally make the joke). National Review's Jonah Goldberg once wrote that he "did what you might expect a conservative columnist to do. I told young orphans there is no Santa Claus." (He was kidding.) We really have a good time with this stereotype.

It's beginning to look a lot like game day.
wn. So start clubbing baby seals or something.
Most conservatives would say that somebody's pain should not prompt government to do anything. Government is ineffective and inefficient and should be more concerned with protecting freedoms than applying Neosporin to society's cuts.
Out on the campaign trail, however, that's not what people want to hear. Politically, it's easier to say that, once elected, you'll get the government to solve everyone's problems. Health care is too expensive? The government will create a universal health care program. Gas costs are too high? The government will put a price control on it. It's hard to live on the minimum wage? The government will raise it.
Liberals mistake conservative opposition to "compassionate" policies for heartlessness. Of course, this isn't true. But it makes for a good joke.
political junkie to call ourselves heartless, it doesn't translate well for politicians.
President Bush is the perfect illustration of this point. To combat the belief that conservatives don't care about the less-fortunate in society, he ran on a platform of "compassionate conservatism" in the 2000 and 2004 presidential campaigns. In 2003 he gave the famous
These promises sound good to constituents. These are the compassionate things to do. But most conservatives oppose them because these actions have costs, and the trade-off required to achieve those goals is often worse than the status quo.

Media predict decent conference standing
Despite its reputation as a lackluster program, Kansas has been dubbed by some publications in the sporting press as a contender in the Big 12 North
BY THOR NYSTROM
Jayhawk football fans are used to praying for a revival. This season, according to the national media, it may actually happen.
Some sports publications across the country have weighed in with unusual optimism for a program that has spent most of the last 10 years hovering near the cellar of the Big 12 North. Of the ten publications surveyed for this story, six project the Jayhawks to finish fourth or better.
Since the inception of the Big 12 in 1996, the Jayhawks' highest finish in the six-team north division was 4th in 1999, when the team went 3-5 in conference play.

Nothing compares to home football

KANSAN COLUMNIST
RCOLAIAINi KANSAN.COM
The smell of brats cooking on an open flame. The sound of the marching band playing the alma mater. The roar of the crowd as the players rush onto the field. The illusion of acres of wheat drifting at Memorial Stadium after a Kansas touchdown.
These are things that I have been missing for a long time: The sights and sounds of football. After spending two years covering the team for the Kansan, Saturday will mark the first time in more than two years that I attend a football game as a fan.
I won't miss my return to fandom on Saturday, and here are some reasons you shouldn't either.
With kickoff set for 6 p.m. you and your friends have the entire day to get ready for the action. You can watch the early games from around the nation or make predictions about how many touchdowns Kerry Meier will throw later in the day. Most importantly, the late kickoff gives you what feels like endless hours of tailging — complete with plenty of cold ones — before heading into the stadium.
Every year, many students head home during the first football game of the season because of Labor Day weekend. I always thought it was ridiculous to do so. During my freshman year I watched the first game of the season, and my first game at Kansas, in a virtual monsoon. That year Kansas lost to Northwestern. This year Kansas has Northwestern State and I guarantee you Kansas won't lose by
eight like it did in 2003.
There's no place like Memorial Stadium on game day. There's not the stress of preparing for a game at Allen Fieldhouse. There's no need to camp out for seats or the need to get there early enough that tailgating has no purpose. Go home Sunday if you have to and enjoy the experience of game day at the stadium. You can go home any time, but there are only seven home football games. We all should relish our time at the games.
There will be a lot of faces taking to the field on Saturday that you might not recognize. You need to get acquainted with them. Names like Mike Rivera, Jake Sharp, Joe Mortensen and Blake Buellet are some that will catch your eye right away. These players are the future of the team and will be the primary factors involved in bringing this year's
squad back to a bowl game.
If nothing else, you should go to the game on Saturday to simply see how the team looks. Throughout training camp, Kansas players have talked about how impressive freshman quarterback Kerry Meier has looked. Granted, his showing this weekend against a I-AA opponent will not tell us how he will look against Nebraska later in the month, but Meier's performance will give us a good indication of how improved the quarterback position and the overall offense are this year.
So I will leave you with one question: Where will you be on game day?

Punts, kicks looking up
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Watching Brian Murph's first punt return of last season was nerve-racking for football coach Mark Mangino.
Murph initially fumbled the ball in the first quarter of the Fort Worth Bowl, retreating all the way to the Jayhawks' 15-yard line. After regaining control of the ball, Murph made his move back up the field, straddling the Houston sideline as he cut upfield into open space, scoring the Jayhawks' first touchdown of the game.
Mangino was pleased with the result, but not exactly happy with how Murph started out the return.

Experience key for Red Raiders
Offense and defense return many upperclassmen to make run at South
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Add Texas Tech to the short list of contenders that could win the Big 12 South, but historically its odds are slim.
Eight times in the first 10 years of the Big 12 Conference's existence, Texas or Oklahoma has finished first in the South. 1998 was the last year neither team played in the conference championship game; instead it was Texas A&M.
Texas Tech players agree that Texas and Oklahoma deserve the attention they get every year, but this season the Red Raiders think they have
the power to join them in the spotlight.
"It's up to use to change that," senior linebacker Keyunta Dawson said. "It's not us sitting back and saying we're tired of hearing that; we have to change that."
What may take Texas Tech to Texas and Oklahoma's level in 2006 is a veteran defense to match its high-powered offense. Nine projected starters are either juniors or seniors.

Malibu High the new home for a former KU standout
Dylen Smith, former quarterback, coaches youth and supports Kansas
BY BRYAN CISLER
Six years after Dylen Smith led the Kansas football team as quarterback, he is an assistant high-school football coach. Being around the sport of football gives Smith an opportunity to reminisce about his time as a jayhawk.
In the days leading up to the 2000 Kansas football season, there was a feeling around campus that the jayhawks were about to have that one breakout season that would get Kansas to its first bowl game since 1995 and save head coach Terry Allen's job.
The Jayhawks had many returning starters that year, the biggest and brightest being
senior quarterback Dylan Smith. Smith, who came to Kansas before the 1999 season as a junior from Santa Monica Community College, gave Jayhawk fans something to cheer about
"I thought about coming back and playing arena football, but then tore my shoulder again," Smith said. "And
"I like what they're doing at Kansas now.I really feel they have brought the right players in and are moving forward."
Football was still in Smith's blood after he left Kansas. He wanted to head north to Canada to try his hand at the Canadian Football League. Smith's body, though, didn't match his ambitions. He tore a muscle in his shoulder his first week there. Smith went through rehab and tried to come back a year later, but again his shoulder gave out. After another year of rehab, he was going to give it one more shot.

that year when he threw for 1,599 yards after replacing an injured Zac Wegner. As the 2000 season approached, Smith could feel there was something missing from that team.
after three shoulder surgeries in three years, I gave up playing and went back to school."
Smith, who threw more passes for Terry Allen than any other quarterback, thought that some of the easy-going attitude was passed down by the coach.
"Everybody on that team was kind of laid-back and relaxed. We weren't a 'rah, rah' type of team, which maybe hurt us a little bit," Smith said.
"Terry Allen was a players' coach, he wasn't a yeller. Some people need coaches to motivate them, others don't," Smith said. "Terry Allen felt that we should have motivated ourselves."
Now Smith roams the sidelines as an assistantcoach at Malibu High School in Malibu, Calif., not far from where he grew up. But Smith is at the end of his coaching career. He is only three weeks away from getting his degree from Colorado Tech University via the Internet. Even though Smith is giving up coaching, he will still be working and trying to motivate young people.
That year the Jayhawks only went 4-7, but did show the fans a glimpse of what they could have been with a 38-17 victory at Missouri.
"All week, I had never seen the team so determined. The breakfast before the game, it was dead quiet, nobody was talking, everybody was fo-
"I want to work with kids as a student probation officer," Smith says.
While Smith ponders his future in California, he likes the direction Kansas is headed.
"I like what they are doing at Kansas now, I really feel they have brought the right players in and are moving forward."
And though Kansas was just 9-14 when Smith was here, his memories are still good ones.
"I loved it there, I am a proud alumni and hope in the future to come back and watch a game."

KU Crew looks to recruit new members for season
Though season has begun, membership in the club is still a possibility
BY KAYVON SARRAF
The biggest sport club on the campus of the University of Kansas would not mind growing even bigger.
KU Crew, with more than 60 members, trumps all other sport clubs in terms of size and budget.
"The club is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to get involved on campus and play a sport, too," said Jon Rogers, club president and Overland Park senior. "We're one of the most active clubs on campus and everyone is able to meet a lot of great guys and girls."
With 35 men and 25 women already on board for the fall, the club always welcomes new participants. The team splits up
into a varsity group and a novice group, with each practicing five days a week.
The team competes in four competitions each semester, with five-kilometer races in the fall and two-kilometer races in the spring. Travel takes the club as far as Philadelphia for the annual Dad Vail Regatta, the largest collegiate regatta in the United States.
The men won the Sunflower State Championships, a competition among the University, Wichita State and Kansas State last year to solidify its spot as the best team in the state. The women placed fifth in the Head of Charles Regatta in Boston. Rogers has high hopes for the upcoming season.
"We have most of our top performers returning. It should be an even better year," Rogers said.
Rogers said that contrary to popular belief, very few club members had rowing experience before joining the club. The club is able to teach all interested participants proper rowing technique. Rogers said the club was a sweeping team, whose members uses only one oar, compared to a skull team, whose members use two.
called ergometers. The machine, often referred as an erg, is able to calculate stroke rate and split time. Other indoor training includes biking, running and playing basketball.
With about 10 shells, or boats, in good condition, the club is able to practice regularly on the Kansas River at Burcham Park. The fleet is highlighted by a brand new eight-man shell, recently purchased for $27,000. When not on the river, the Jayhawks are able to train indoor on 25 indoor rowing machines
As a self-sufficient club sport, the team does its own fundraising. The most popular event is an erg-a-thon, where team members receive donations for the amount of time spent on an erg.
The season is already underway for KU Crew, but interested participants can still join. For information, e-mail jarog7@ ku.edu.

dence in fielding punts."
Evidently Mangino liked enough of what he saw, because Murph will get a shot, along with senior wide receiver Jonathan Lamb and sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib, to return punts this season on special teams.
— Edited by Derek Korte
Neither Lamb nor Talib saw time returning punts last season. The majority of that duty fell to former Jayhawk Charles Gordon, who left school a year early to play in the NFL.
After his slight misstep, Murph said he was eager to get more experience returning punts.
"It's fun and it's something I have been wanting to do for a while." Murph said. "I'm glad they are giving me the opportunity to do that now."
Aside from new responsibilities for Murph, Lamb and Talib, Mangino will also put freshman running back Jake Sharp and sophomore wide receiver Marcus Herford back to return kickoffs. In addition to his usual duties as the starting running back, Jon Cornish will also see time on the punt and kickoff coverage teams, as well as limited time returning kicks. Mangino said it would be difficult to keep Cornish off
the unit because he was one of the top special teams players in the conference.
Special teams is one of few areas on the Kansas football team that won't see an influx of youth. Mangino will return veterans in both kicking positions: juniors punter Kyle Tucker and junior place kicker Scott Webb.
Webb already ranks as the third-most-accurate kicker in Kansas history, making nearly 67 percent of his kicks throughout his career. Last season, Webb hit 14 of 19 field goal attempts, including all 11 attempts inside of 40 yards. His longest kick of the season went 48 yards against Iowa State.
Last season, Tucker recorded the ninth-longest punt in program history, with his 77-yard boot at Texas Tech. He averaged 42.9 yards per punt and landed 19 inside the 20-yard line. This summer he was named on the Ray Guy Award watch list. The award is given to the nation's top punter.
Football Notes:
ning. Among the most competitive positions settled were wide receiver, linebacker and secondary. The starting wide receivers are seniors Dominic Roux and Murph, and sophomore Dexton Fields.
Depth chart released:
Mangino announced his depth chart early Wednesday eve-
Mangino has the first-string secondary listed as junior Blake Bueltel, senior Jerome Kemp, sophomore Sadiq Muhammed and Talib. However, Talib is reportedly suspended for at least the first game and Mangino has declined to discuss Kemp's status, but has said he looks "great."
Replacing Talib would be sophomore Raymond Brown. Adam Barmann will be the backup quarterback heading into the season. Barmann, the opening day starter last season, has practiced throughout training camp with the second-team offense.
"Adam Barmann's had his best camp and best two-a-days since he's been here," Mangino said.

our players and the direction that we're going."
Mangino knows all too well which direction Kansas is coming from. Entering his fifth season, he has an 8-24 career record in conference play, but has gradually built his program up from an 0-8 start in 2002.
With a schedule that has removed two powers, Texas and Oklahoma, and replaced them with two punching bags, Baylor and Oklahoma State, fans around Lawrence have been excitedly talking about a possible Big 12 shocker: The Jayhawks winning the north division outright.
Blue Ribbon, which does in-depth previews of all Division 1-A programs for ESPN's Insider, can see this happening. Despite picking Kansas fifth in the north, they see potential for a magical season.
"The Jayhawks have turned things around under Mangino's leadership. After years at the bottom of the Big 12, Mangino's program has a chance to win the Big 12 North title this season," according to the preview.
Mangino is not getting caught up in the hype just yet.

Germany's Dirk Nuwitzki (14), of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, looks to pass the ball as USA's Lebron James (6), of the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, guards during the quarterfinals of the World Basketball Championships in Saitama, Japan. USA defeated Germany 85-65.
SAITAMA, Japan — Once they realized they couldn't shoot, the Americans knew they had to make sure Dirk Nowitzki couldn't. either.
Carmelo Anthony scored 10 of his 19 points in the third quarter, when the United States finally took control with its pressure defense, and the Americans went on to defeat Germany 85-65 Wednesday night in the quarterfinals of the FIBA world basketball championships.
The U.S. overcame its worst offensive performance of the tournament with one of its best defensive performanes, limiting Germany to 26 points in the second half and forcing Nowtzik to miss nine of his 12 shots.
"Dirk is unstopable, so we tried to send in as many defenders as possible," LeBron James said. "You've just got to contain
guy like that and hope he misses some shots. He only had 12 attempts so we know we did a good job."
James added 13 points for the U.S., which broke away from a onepoint halftime lead by using a flurry of steals and blocks to outscore Germany 16-2 over a nearly 6-minute span in the third period.
The Americans (7-0) remained one of the four unbeaten teams and advanced to face European champion Greece (7-0) Friday night in the semifinals. Greece beat France 73-56 earlier Wednesday.
"We started making shots late, but I thought our defense was great. We made it tough on Dirk and his teammates and that's what it's about. We've got to play great defense to win a championship."
But this was unlike the other American victories in Japan.
Instead of looking like the team that came in averaging 109.3 points, the Americans looked like the ones that have come up short in recent years because of a lack of perimeter shooting. They shot 37.6 percent (32-of-85) and were 10-of-40 from 3-point range.
teammates and that's what it's about. We've got to play great defense to win a championship."
But they kept it from being costly by pressuring Germany's guards and preventing them from getting the ball to Nowitki, who finished with 15 points and five turnovers.
"It wasn't a great shooting night tonight, but I thought it was OK," American guard Joe Johnson said. "We started making shots late, but I thought our defense was great. We made it tough on Dirk and his
The offense needs to get better against Greece and then either Spain or Argentina — whose players watched the game from behind the basket.

fifth.
Leading 40-39 at the break, the U.S. came out with a new line-up — Anthony, James, Johnson, Kirk Himrich and
Dwight Howard — and forced three turnovers in the first 1:01 of the third quarter.
The Germans were still within a point before Anthony followed a 3-pointer with a steal a dunk. Elton Brand's follow shot made it 51-43 with 6:41 remaining in the period.
"In the beginning of the second half, they turned up the heat defensively and they caused us to be a little more hectic," Germany's Johannes Herber said. "We turned the ball over a couple of times and they get easy (baskets) and they hit two or three 3s. And all of a sudden it's 10 points and it's hard to get back in the game against them."
Okulaja made a jumper, but Anthony drilled another 3, then Dwyane Wade made a free throw, Johnson had a basket and Chris Bosh converted a three-point play on an alley-oop that extended the Americans' lead to 60-45 with 1:53 left in the quarter.
The U.S. had five blocked shots and seven steals in the quarter, taking a 67-52 lead on Chris Paul's jumper as the buzzer sounded.
Sitting back in a zone that featured Nowitzkil, fellow 7-footer Patrick Femerling and 6-8 Okulaja along the back line, Germany forced the United States to shoot from the outside. And unlike Sunday's rout
of Australia, when the Americans were 14-of-27 from 3-point range, they were woeful behind the arc Wednesday.
The Americans were 5-of-20 in the first half, including one miss
when Wade appeared to try to bank one in and it missed the rim entirely — and that was while he could still see straight.
Wade went to the bench a few minutes later after taking a shot near
the eye from Pascal Roller while going for a loose ball. He sat the remainder of the half and returned 4 1/2 minutes into the third quarter.
But Germany could never take much of a lead because of foul trou
ble. Both Nowitzki and Okulaja were on the bench in the final minute with three apiece, and the U.S. took a 40-39 lead when Anthony made a 3-pointer with 47 seconds to go.

Exhibition game to decide future status of some Chiefs' players
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Fans who ridicule the NFL's final exhibition game as nothing more than a meaningless tuneup to the regular season have never walked in Jeris McIntyre's shoes.
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
For people like him and Jamal Jones, what happens during Thursday night's New Orleans-Kansas City game could determine nothing less than their future in football.
Like just about every other team in the NFL, the Saints (1-2) and Chiefs (1-2) will have their top players on the field for only a few minutes in the fourth and final exhib-
tion game of 2006. Be late finding your seat and you might miss Pro Bowler Larry Johnson and reigning Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush.
These games are almost always devoted to reserves and rookies, young guys fighting for jobs and veterans struggling to milk one more year out of their playing career.
Since the Chiefs drafted him in the sixth round in 2004, McIntyre has struggled to stay on the roster. But Jones wasn't even drafted and the Saints are his third team in three years. He was thinking about giving up his NFL dreams and enrolling in graduate school when New Orleans invited him to training camp.
Thursday night could be the end
"But when you're here and on the field," he added, "you can't think about the math or you're not going to do your job."
Knowing that each team will probably keep five — maybe six wide receivers, it's hard not to "do the math." That's what players call it when they sit around and make constant calculations as to where they stand.
Pressure on coaches to make the right choice is also intense.

》 HOROSCOPE
today! Although you're very busy, you can still make time for love. It won't be all that difficult. Prioritize.
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
As always, you'll do best with your loved ones on your side. Let them know your plans, and how they can fit in.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
Today is 8
You often have the correct answer, so you may become upset if your analysis comes under attack. Don't argue _ listen and learn.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
Your routine is already disrupted, so cut yourself some slack. Slow and easy does it; don't wear your out.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Somebody you like very much also thinks the world of you. No point in arguing; let yourself be convinced. It's a lot more fun.
You know what you want, but getting it is something of a hassle. Start by cleaning up the most immediate mess. You'll feel better.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is Jan 8
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Todays at 7
There's a lot of confusion going around. Don't let it bother you. Everything doesn't make sense yet, but that doesn't mean it never will. Be patient, and stay out of traffic.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your team looks to you for advice, and it's a good thing that they do. They're just about to spend too much of your money. Holler.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is an 8
Although youre confident, and with good reason, you also need to have the facts. The person who's asking the question now is something of a pedant. It's OK to look at notes.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7
Get serious about planning your trip.
Check your lists and your suitcase again. It's good not to forget important things, but don't worry too much about that. You can always get another one.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 7
Your friends are very encouraging, but don't let them talk you into doing something you can't afford. Stick with cheap fun for a while.
Don't let yourself be distracted. You have an advantage over the others. You can see what needs to be done, and you can do it. Don't wait to be told.

note.
When my sisters and I were younger, we had an original Nintendo console and three games — "Duck Hunt," "World Class Track Meet" and "Super Mario Bros." We spent a lot of time at my mom's work, and we quickly mastered the first half of the first level of each game.
You see, Mom had only one rule: if you fight over a toy, it goes in the closet. So, with three of us and only two game controllers, our aspirations of "winning the game" were always cut short.
Since moving out,I've acquired a Play Station 2 and "Dance Dance Revolution,"but mastering the dances pales in comparison to half a track race on the Power Pad and the pinching matches that always followed.

HAPPYHOUR AT HOME
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION/MEGAN TRUE
by Carissa Pedigo
Bring the bar atmosphere to your living room with a do-it-yourself guide to making and stocking a bar.
It's 1:30 a.m. You have waited in line outside, met up with all your friends and finally sifted your way through the mob surrounding the bar to order a drink.The fun has just started when the bartender yells two little words — "Last call." You order one drink, then head home to your lousy six-pack of cheap beer, cursing the bouncer who wouldn't let you take your Sea Breeze in a to-cup.
Kent Domas, San Antonio senior, doesn't skip a beat after last call. He goes home to his own bar and mixes a drink for after hours. Sometimes he even leaves the bars early to drink at home. He appreciates his home bar because it's cheaper and more laid back than going out, Domas says. "You don't have to wait in line, don't have to deal with people that are really annoying and way too drunk — just the people you want to hang out with," he says. He also uses his bar for tailgating before football games and hosting parties with a wider assortment of drink options than the traditional kegger.
A home bar is convenient, alluring for friends, can bring the party to the next level with fun shots and fancy cocktails or keep the spirits flowing after the dreaded "last call."
How to build It
To construct a basic bar the materials
To construct a youneed are two-inch-by-three-inch pine boards for the frame, oak plywood for the outside, screws, wood glue, a biscuit joiner and L-brackets, says Freddie Rice, Jr., Lawrence contractor. You can get most of the materials you need at a hardware store and have the wood cut for you too.
To start, measure the boards for the framework to fit the size of bar that you want to make. You'll need a frame for each the top and bottom and three smaller frames for the sides and middle. Put the frames together in the shape of your bar using the wood glue and screws.
To attach the oak boards, use a biscuit joiner and glue. The

the boards together. If you want to use trim, nail oak molding onto the sides. Oak trim isn't the only option. Some people also use carpet or tile, Rice says. Finally, sand the bar down and put as many coats of polyurethane on the outside as it says on the can, he says.
Be creative when building your bar, and make it your own.Domas's bar has a personalized touch with a Jayhawk and a "KU" hidden in the tile pattern on the countertop.
Stocking your bar
Chad Landis, bartender and manager at Astros, 601 Kasold Drive, has served drinks in Lawrence for 10 years. He recommends always
having the four basics on-hand: vodka, whiskey, rum and gel. Keep the generic
liquors stocked underneath the bar and set up an old book self behind the bar to store premium liquors for people you really like, Landis says. Shots should be made with good tequiles and vodkas, like Patron or Greygoose. These are the best choices if you choose to splurge on premiums, he says.
The basic mixers for most cocktails are triple sec, canned juices (they don't expire as fast), tonic water and canned Coca-cola and Sprite. Pour spouts on top of the bottles help control the liquor when pouring a drink, so it's just the right strength. Also, cocktail shakers stir the mixer and liquor together so it tastes even.
Paul Karrer, Omaha senior, plans to have a party in the next few weeks with his home bar. When throwing a party, it's necessary to have a bartender's guide, which lists recipes for an assortment of cocktails, he says. With the guide, "you can make fun stuff like a slippery nipple or screaming orgasm," he says.
If you plan to have a party with more alcohol than a mini-fridge can handle, leave room behind your bar for a cooler to stack drinks on ice. Old refrigerators can also be converted into kegers to keep cold kg beer on tap. The Web site, http://kegbooty.com, gives easy
instructions on how to make one. Also for the essentials — bar books, cocktail shakers, bartending tools and test tubes for shots — check out bartendershop.com for ordering discounted bar supplies.
The ultimate bar atmosphere wouldn't be complete without some classic — not necessarily classy — bar decor. Bars should look good on the outside, but can be rugged on the inside, Landis says. He suggests setting up a stereo and speakers and displaying some cheesy neon lights. If you're decorating on a budget, use Christmas lights. Also, make sure to collect some bar stools with a good story behind how you got them, he says.
Bar décor
Domas's bar is L-shaped and was constructed by a previous owner. They have a tap connected to a kegerator next to the bar. There's a rainbow discoball light to kick it into party mode, some beer brand wall ornaments, and of course, a "cheesy" neon Bud Light sign. Domas acquired most if his decor from family and friends, but you can find most of the stuff he has on eBay, he says.

GRAD CHECK
Each year students make the legendary walk through the Campanile, down The Hill and into the real world. We're here to check in on them.
Drew Baranowski
Graduated: Dec.2003
Age: 25
Hometown:
Overland Park
Degree: English
Today: Baranowski is student teaching junior/senior English at Shawnee Mission East High School in Prairie Village. He is also working on his master's degree in education at Avila University in Kansas City, Mo.
Changing circumstances:
Baranowski says the two most important experiences he's had since graduating have been
moving to Chicago for a year and having a baby. In Chicago, he worked for Hallmark in-store installation and product revision before moving back to KC and deciding to teach. His daughter, Elaina, is now 8-and-a-half months old.
Changing mind: "I've just really readjusted my priorities. I'm a lot more mature. I really have
concrete goals, I guess you could say, for my career and family."
Back in the day: "One of my favorite experiences that I remember from KU is when KU beat Missouri by like 40 points in basketball — and being on Mass Street when we made it to the final game. That was pretty amazing."

JULIE, JUNIOR
P
I'M STILL A VIRGIN, AND I'M AFRAID THE FIRST TIME I DO IT WITH MY PARTNER THAT I'LL COME TOO QUICKLY. HOW CAN I PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING AND HIM LEAVING BECAUSE HE CONFUSES INEXPERIENCE WITH BAD SEX? JULIE, JUNIOR
Chris: You're either dangerously naïve or dangerously stupid. In either case, you definitely should not be having sex. Of any kind. I don't know what shows you've been watching or what books you've been reading, but premature orgasm is NEVER a domain of concern for women. And given the absurd nature of this question, I'll assume that you've never even heard of the phenomenon exclusive to females known as the "multiple orgasm." Seriously, given your complete ignorance of all things sexual, you should do your man — and society — a favor
and hold off on this whole intercourse thing until you've gained at least a rudimentary knowledge of how your plumbing works.
Niloofar: I'm sorry, come again? Actually, that's one thing you probably won't be doing. Or coming at all, for that matter. Only about 30 percent of women regularly reach orgasm by penile-vaginal intercourse alone, according to studies done in the 1950s by Alfred Kinsey, founder of the Institute of Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University. This means that unless your partner is a coital Casanova, the problem
you mentioned won't be a problem. So in a pre-emptive strike, I'm going to tell you what to do when you find you aren't screaming your lungs out in hallelujah-esque ecstacy: If you want him to uncover your buried treasure, you're going to have to give him a map. So show, don't tell. Well, not in so many words, anyway. That means every time you like, you moan. Every time you don't, you keep quiet. After a while he'll realize the difference between the sounds and the silence, and you just might be able to join the choir. If you can't talk to him about this, you shouldn't be sleeping with him anyway.
I JUST MOVED TO LAWRENCE FROM A SMALL TOWN IN WESTERN KANSAS, WHERE MY HIGH SCHOOL BOYFRIEND STILL LIVES. WE DECIDED TO MAKE THE LONG DISTANCE THING WORK, BUT EVER SINCE I LEFT HE'S BEEN ACTING WEIRD. I'M AFRAID HE'S CHEATING ON ME NOW THAT I'M GONE. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Chris: I've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that your boyfriend probably isn't cheating on you. He's acting weird because he misses you, and he's scared he's going to lose you to some striped-shirt 4-Runner-driving business major before Halloween. The bad news is that his fear is justified. Women absolutely cannot cope with distance. Just being in different zip codes is grounds for breaking off a relationship and nailing the next halfway-attractive mammal that enters their line of sight. It looks as if you're already starting to feel the effects of the distance: paranoida, pestering phone calls, sluttiness. I'm just assuming the sluttiness, but
that's because of the most dangerous distance-induced effect an excruciating inability to tell the truth. And honestly, by this point, he's better off without you. The kindest thing you can do to save your boyfriend future heartbreak is to break his heart today. Just tell yourself that and never think about it again, and you should be fine.
Niloofar: Back in the day, when Dick got drunk and did the deed with some double-D ditz in his dorm room, it could take years before Jane ever found out. But thanks to Facebook, you can now check for incriminating pictures and "I love you baby! Call me! I had fun last night!" wall comments
KATIE, FRESHMAN
from sleazy hos at New School, U.S.A. OK, that borders on stalker and is beyond pathetic, so as cliché as it sounds, what you should do is just straight-up ask him. Now, don't ask him if he's cheating, because if he's not, you've just put an innocent man on trial, but do ask him if everything's OK between you. Tell him you've sensed that something's up lately, and you'd like to have a talk about it. If he doesn't want to open up, you can even make suggestions of the,"Is it maybe that you're feeling a little tied down because of our relationship?" nature. If that doesn't work, you can always hire the show "Cheaters" to catch him in the act on late-night UPN.

NEW QUEEN
by Katherine Loeck
She's a blonde bombshell with a modeling contract and a crown.
In front of 5.6 million viewers, Gentry Miller represented Kansas in the Miss Teen USA Pageant and landed a spot in the top 10 on August 15. But, back in Kansas, the Wichita freshman says that no one knows who she is. Now she's on The Hill with the rest of KU students in jeans, a t-shirt and no make-up.
As Miss Kansas Teen USA, Miller received a generous scholarship to Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo. However, the University of Kansas was her first love, so she opted to stay true to her heart and close to home.
The most difficult part about coming to college was leaving her best friend and support system in Wichita, Miller says. Her grandmother, Cheryl, adopted her when she was 3. The close bond that grew between them
over the years is obvious in Miller's smile when she talks of her grandmother.
ON CAMPUS
"As a little girl, she and I would always watch the pageants for fun, but we never dreamed at
the time that she would do something like that,"Cheryl says.
When she was young, Miller looked up to the pageant contestants as role models but never thought she could do it. Years later, during her senior year at Wichita
Northwest High School, Miller's childhood dream became a reality.It wasn't until a couple of weeks before the state pageant
MISS TEEN USA 2006 TOP10
that Miller decided to enter. She had thought about it all year but decided on a whim to try her first pageant — just for fun. Roger Powell, Miller's high school math teacher, says that she
Georgia Kansas Rhode Island Maryland Montana North Carolina Virginia North Dakota New Jersey North Arizona
always seemed shy in class, which is not something you would expect from a girl who can walk across a stage wearing nothing but a swimsuit. When all was said and done, she had a plane ticket to California and a roommate at
KU, Alexandra Latimer, Wichita freshman and first runner-up.
ALEXANDRA & JIMMY
The college freshman
Surprised to have won in Kansas, Miller was looking forward to the opportunity and learning experience in California, no matter the outcome. Her spot in the top 10 earned her $500 and a modeling contract with Brides magazine. Her money will definitely be used for school expenses, but because she's so busy with school, she hasn't followed up on any of her modeling opportunities, her grandmother says. She wants to focus on her college career for now.
Miller doesn't really consider herself a beauty queen. "People think you just have to walk on stage and look pretty," she says. Pageants involve academics, community involvement, public speaking, charity work and much more, she says. In high school, Miller was the captain of her cheerleading squad, homecoming queen and valedictorian."I was friends with everyone but I was the kid who
always stayed at home doing homework,"she says.
However, at the price of being a straight-A student, Miller is a perfectionist. The pageant process is a good way for women to show their strengths and improve their weaknesses, she says. She initially got involved to gain speaking and interviewing skills before college. Now, the opportunity to be a role model for young girls motivates her. "I wanted to make a positive impact on Kansas," Miller says.

She and her grandmother were slightly relieved when she didn't take the crown at the national pageant. If she had won, Miller's college plans would have been put on hold. Now at KU, Miller is excited to venture away from her homebody tendencies, become more independent and pursue a career in cosmetic dentistry.

BUNKER HILL
NOTICE
by Bart Vandever

KU professor works on his next big film
Kevin Willmott, director and professor of film, has resurfaced to make his follow-up to last year's critically acclaimed "C.S.A. Confederate States of America."
Welcome to the strange world of "Bunker Hill."
Willmott's last movie, C.S.A., took a jarring look at how the nation would be, had the South won the Civil War. This time around he uses his usual intellectual punch to tackle terrorism and the idea of a state driven by paranoia and panic.
Today, Willmott is shooting in the small country town of Nortonville — population 598. On the scene, hoards of men in surgical masks ride horses down the streets while handing out weapons to the film's townspeople.
Next to the Dirty Boot Café, an old western-style saloon, Willmott sits inside an abandoned building that the crew had turned into a makeshift production studio.
Willmott describes his film as science fiction.
"Bunker Hill' is about what happens in a small Kansas town when technology stops functioning, and you're forced to deal with your own fear and insecurity," he says. "In a lot of ways we've been living in a Western like this for the past five years."
The story takes place after an unknown attack against the U.S. All technology — including the Internet, cars, phones and television — stops working. The people of Bunker Hill panic without communication, and groups eventually fraction off to try to take control of the town.
Greg Hurd first heard Willmott's idea for the film two years ago and promptly agreed to co-write the project.
"We wanted to speak to contemporary circumstances while utilizing old story styles," Hurd says. "This may be the first
post-modern western in history. If you watch this movie,you will have never seen anything like it."
"Bunker Hill" is independent (as are Willmott's other films) and "Bunker Hill" cost under $1 million to make Willmott says.
Despite the small budget, the film includes cars explosions, shattering windows in downtown businesses, explosions, gun battles, horses, carriages and a full cast and crew.
Willmott was also able to recruit prominent actors to work on his film, including James McDaniel, veteran NYPD Blue actor, who plays the main character, Salem. McDaniel is also the film's executive producer.
"With independent film, the stakes are lower, and that allows me to be braver and try things I may be afraid to try otherwise,"
McDaniel says.
Willmott attributes some or his good fortune to the quality of his stories."If you have a great script, you get interest from actors. In big productions, actors are into their careers, but in smaller scale things, real actors want a role in a good story," he says. "We have all real actors here."
After "Bunker Hill" is completed Willmott hopes to make one film a year, he says. The Willmott-Hurd writing duo of are at work again on their next screenplay entitled Love Supreme.
"Bunker Hill" will continue shooting in Nortonville for two weeks and then move on to Coffeyville for additional footage.

V a u g h n Fry's 68-year-old grandmother can beat "Super Mario Brothers" in one sitting.She has mastered "The Legend of Zelda," and she knows Nintendo shortcuts like it's her job. This woman's talent is derived from her grandson's love of the original Nintendo system. Fry, a Derby senior, is a self-professed addict. He has played Nintendo since the mid-1980s and prefers it over the newer gaming systems like Gamecube or Xbox, although he's quite addicted to those too.
From video games to music playing through our iPods to one of VH1's many decade-obsessed television tributes, society embraces its past.

Merriam-Webster nostalgia as a yearning for an irrecoverable condition (say, your childhood) or homesickness. You might think nostalgia only hits at a certain age, when people are recalling "the good old days," but Schindler says nostalgia doesn't discriminate. "We have an index which measures how prone you
are to feeling nostalgia," he says, referring to nostalgia research he has conducted with Morris Holbrook, a professor of business at Columbia University. "We find that there's no age effect — young people are just as likely to be nostalgic as older people." This might explain why college students in their late teens and early '20s can't get enough of video game

systems that came out 20 years ago.
Fry, who began the "NES and Super Nintendo Loyalists" group on Facebook is not
alone in his love of '80s video games. Sure, many students wouldn't have as much patience as Fry did with his grandmother, but plenty of students are still stationed in front of the television for hours on end each week, game remote in hand. They're not all playing
the newest version of "Halo." Quite often, Sonic and Tales or Mario and Luigi are running on their screens.
"Video games were my childhood," Matthew Cramer, Overland Park junior, says bluntly. He is partial to "Duck Hunt" and "Adventure Island 3" and hasn't stopped playing since his 5th birthday.
Cramer claims that some newer games aren't
as simple and fun as the old games. His famed moment came when he played "Final Fantasy VII" nonstop for 15 days, only breaking for school, food and sleep.
Awesome jams
"First time was a great time, Second time was a blast, Third time I fell in love, Now I hope it lasts." These were the lyrics that shot out of a boom box as sophomore Matt Walker and his sister played in their Hutchinson yard as kids. They would sing as the New Kids sang on: "You got the right stuff, baby; Love the way you turn me on; You got the right stuff, baby; You're the reason why I sing this song." Walker wasn't exactly fond of the band or the many cassettes his sister owned, but they've imprinted themselves on his brain during childhood.
Whether it was a household favorite, or just a song you can't get out of your head, people can't seem to get enough of '80s music. "I probably have more

than 300 songs from the '80s on my computer," Doug Tetreault, Herndon, Va., sophomore, says. To take him back to his childhood, he's been able to compile five '80s mix CDs — featuring the likes of A-HA, Styx, Hall & Oates, REO Speedwagon and Huey Lewis and the News. Tetreault says '80s tunes are easier to sing along with than today's popular tunes." I listen to ['80s music] pretty regularly and it puts a better spin on the day because it's not heavy on love or hate, just happy."
Today's world of "TRL," "The Real World" and "Punk'd" may seem to be the norm, but it's helpful to remember that MTV was popularized in the '80s as a 24-hour music video station. As much as it has strayed from its original intent, combining video with music was a revolutionary idea — bringing about many of the embarrassing styles we now reference. Next time you see a girl with bangle bracelets and large hoop earrings remind yourself that this craze was initially started by Debbie Gibson and Madonna." That was the worst decade yet for style," Jon Simon, Lenexa sophomore, says. "I would hope none of that comes back."
Tubular shows and Saturday morning rituals
Simon's childhood home in Merriam brings back many memories — ones of sending the family cat down the laundry chute or playing Nintendo with his dad, who would get frustrated after losing. It's what he calls "the golden age of kindergarten," when kindergarten was still a half-day. Simon would rush home to play watch television with his sister, Rachel. Snacking on Gushers or Pop-Tarts and surrounded by the orange, yellow and brown retro blinds of the living room, they would take part in their daily routine of sitting together in front of the TV to watch shows like "Salute Your Shorts," "Legends of the Hidden Temple" and "Pete and Pete." "Watching those shows with my sister definitely brings back good memories," Simon says.
Fry, creator of the Nintendo Loyalists Facebook group also recounts "Inspector Gadget," "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Transformers"
as being a large influence on his childhood.He recently acquired "Miami Vice"on DVD and says that it takes him back to a simpler time.
Tetreault, the self-professed '80s fanatic, indulges in more than '80s mix CDs, but enjoys movies from the decade as well. "The one movie
I believe carries the whole culture of the '80s is 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High," he says. "Life in the '80s was widely centered around the mall culture, and this movie shows it." John Hughes seems to have ruled the late '80s and early '90s with films like "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," "Pretty in Pink," "Sixteen Candles" and "Weird Science."
Another classic Hughes hit, and the top-grossing film of 1990, is "Home
a feeling of comfort that many people long for. "Sometimes people get attached to cereals," he says. "[They're from] a vibrant time with a lot of lost joys with your parents."

Alone," a favorite of Chris Roberts, 2006 graduate."It's always great to see a kid your age as a hero and controlling his world minus the intrusion of parents," he says.
Would you like milk with your memories?
As a kid, Roberts often had football games on weekend mornings. However, when he wasn't playing football, he has fond memories of rolling out of bed and watching early morning NBC sitcoms like Saved by the Bell and California Dreams with a bowl of Life cereal. Similarly, when sophomore Stacy Lake was a kid in Leawood, she would wake in the morning and head straight for the television. Accompanied by a big bowl of Cheerios, she would wait for "Rocko's Modern Life" or "Angry Beavers" to appear on the tube.
It's not uncommon to have enjoyed a big bowl of cereal in your pajamas on a Saturday morning as a child. Schindler, who has studied nostalgia for more than 15 years, says cereal is a food that brings
currently has locations in Illinois, Pennsylvania and at the University of Arizona in Tempe and specializes in serving up cereal by the bowl. The difference between Cereality and any other cereal bar is that at this company has "Cereologists" who work in their pajamas and mix up any concoction of milk, cereal and toppings. They say their product isn't about tapping into nostalgia as much as it is evoking the Saturday morning experience of waking
up with no obligations, grabbing a bowl of cereal and flipping on cartoons, all while in your pajamas. Who knows, you may still do that. "You don't have to really love old cereal boxes or old cereal commercials, but you do [have to] love and appreciate the emotions of the ideal Saturday morning of your childhood," says Lisa Kovitz, public relations manager for Cereality.
Another thing many students remember about those sleepy-eyed Saturday mornings, other than not having school, is the toys they would play with.
Matt Walker, possibly rebelling from his sister's New Kids on the Block influence, says that if he could bring back one thing from his childhood it would be "Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles." While he may reminisce over the cartoon show, what he loved most were the action figures of Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael and Splinter."I have all of my original Ninja Turtle action figures," he says. "They're tucked away in my closet." Regularly, he would go into battle with his brother and the action figures, often claiming victory.
A little thing called nostalgia
"The kind of attachments you have to things has to do with strong emotion being present at the time you were experiencing it," Schindler says of memories like those Walker has of his four hard-shelled friends. He offers the example of Schwinn reselling its retro style of bicycles." Retro bikes have been very popular because they meant something to kids to get a bike without training wheels," he explains. Many strong memories are imprinted in early childhood, he says."So when [people] have children, they want to buy the same toy for their kids or sing the same nursery rhymes to their kids," Schindler says.
Does this mean that when you're 40, you'll be longing to play Halo and bonding with friends over whether or not "Wedding Crashers" is better than "Old School"? Quite possibly. So be careful what you invest your time in now; you might just be nostalgic for it in the future. And Vaughn Fry might be teaching his grandkids how to play original Nintendo, while they scoff at the fact that he was born in the 1980s.

Wet your whistle with a variety of flavored waters
WITH A TWIST
Jiro
"Drink eight glasses of water a day" is a resolution that rolls over onto my new list at the beginning of each year. Other resolutions, such as giving up cigarettes and daily soft drinks, were more successful and bumped off my list after a few attempts. I've also had resolutions that were obviously bad ideas and quickly disregarded, like the year I vowed to say "bitchin" more often. I'm not sure whether I'll do the splits this year after my failed effort in 2005, but I may actually end up fully hydrated with the help of a variety of new flavored water products on the market.
PHOTO LLUSTRATION/JARED GAB
It's no secret that soft drinks aren't necessarily healthy, and in the past few years they are sharing the blame — along with sedentary lifestyles and fast food — for the growing obesity problem in America. In the summer of 2005, the American Beverage Association took action and unveiled its new school vending policy that would decrease the amount of soft drinks in elementary, middle and high schools while increasing juice and lower-calorie product options. Coincidentally, last year sales volumes of carbonated soft drinks fell for the first time since 1985, according to Beverage Digest, but non-carbonated beverage sales increased.
Dasani, a Coca-Cola product, introduced a line of flavored waters about a year ago, but they were completely unrelated to the new ABA policy, spokesperson Ray Crockett says.
But, if you read the labels on bottles of flavored water, it's hard to tell how they differ from diet soft drinks. Sprite Zero, a "lemon-lime soda," for example, contains zero calories or carbs and lists its first two ingredients as carbonated water and citric acid. Dasani's Natural Strawberry Flavored Water Beverage is also calorie and carb-free, and the first two ingredients are purified water and citric acid.
So, what is the difference between these new flavored
waters and diet soft drinks? "Diet soft drinks are carbonated," Crockett says. I point out to him that some types of flavored waters, such as 7UP's "Breeze," are also carbonated."Flavored waters are lightly flavored and lightly sweetened. They're for someone who wants to drink water but wants something different," he says.
Carolyn Moore, Wichita freshman, says she doesn't drink diet soft drinks but will occasionally have a bottle of flavored water. "I think it's healthier than a diet soft drink," she says.
exacerbate digestive problems. Boo says. "I don't think it hydrates you nearly as well as water," he says.
Non-carbonated flavored waters are a healthier choice than diet soft drinks, agrees Aaron Boos, owner of Lawrence Nutrition Center, 4931 W. Sixth St. Carbonated beverages can

than tap water, unless you know what kind of plumbing you're dealing with. "I'm not drinking the water from the faucet in a 100-year-old house." Boo says.
"Plain water is the best,
without any additives in it," says Gina Fisch, owner and operator of Perfect Balance Weight Management Center, 935 Iowa St. Water with additives and soft drinks both include extra chemicals for your body to process, Fisch says, and she also recommends that you choose either diet sodas or flavored water in moderation, but not both." Two 12-ounce containers per day is moderation and fine," she says. Regular soft drinks contain about 12 teaspoons of sugar per can, which Fisch suggests is extra sugar you should avoid. She also recommends that the average, non-athletic student consume 64-80 ounces of water per day.
Recommended daily intake of water actually varles quite a bit between women and men,
age groups and depending on how much you exercise. The National Academy of Sciences recommends that women between the ages of 19-30 consume about 91 ounces per day, and men in that age bracket should chug closer to 125 ounces.
There's also a handy-dandy "Hydration Calculator" on the International Bottled Water Association Web Site (www.bottledwater.org) that calculates water needs based on weight, time spent exercising and intensity of exercise. According to the calculator, I should be drinking 83.5 ounces a day. That's a lot of water. With more bottled water varieties available, this could be the year I meet that goal and work in some new resolutions.

KATRINA, ONE
YEAR LATER
It's been one year since Hurricane Katrina leveled New Orleans and coastal Mississippi. It was sad and disturbing to witness the death — for all intent and purposes — of New Orleans. Pre-Katrina, the NO was a great city. It had all the gageantry, spectacle and debauchery associated with Mardi Gras. Naw'lins was the original Sin City; it was Vegas before Vegas was Vegas.
The images of Katrina are what will stick with me the most—CNN and every other news outlet showing American citizens sitting on rooftops for days as help eluded them. In a perfect world there would be a press conference to honor the memory of those who passed away. President George Dubya, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco, head of homeland security Michael Chertoff and former FEMA director Mike Brown would answer questions from New Orleans residents. I want to hear from the officials,"Ay, you know what? It's true we are a perfect world,the hurricane
A. K. H.
Fred A. Davis III
The aftermath of Katrina is this country's most embarrassing and blatant display of ignorance and negligence that I've seen in my 25 years as an American.I was horrified by what I saw. Third World-like images and desperate pleas for help, and in our own backyard to boot. It was truly jaw-dropping.
One year later, it appears that while some life has been restored, New Orleans — once a bustling, tourist-driven town with abundant crime and poor schools — will never be the same.
The lesson we should all take from the Katrina disaster is that the disparity between black and white is as prevalent today as it was 40 years ago when black folks were getting blasted by fire hoses and attacked by German shepherds. Katrina made that clear.
I know we're busy trying to root out terrorism worldwide while the ring leader of it all, but why can't we take some time to invest in our own people for a change? New Orleans would be a great start... and there's no gray area in that.

Learning the right and wrong way to bring someone home
ETIQUETTE
Dating in college is like a box of chocolates. Some of them are misleading — full of stringy coconut when the outside suggests it's a caramel. Some look like they areicky lemon cream but surprise you with gooey chocolate truffle. Men and women play this game of truth seeking and make mistakes along the way. Unfortunately it's often not you who
--- it's your roommate.
You should learn how to live in peace with the people that live with you. So, before you bring home that cute jock or giggly gal, have a chat with the people who share your roof.
Laying down the ground rules
Sit down with your roommates and write out a list of things that should and should not happen at your place. Since some people may not be veteran shackers, a few hypothetical situations that you've seen in the
movies should probably make the list too. Include things like who may use, touch, eat or mess with your personal belongings. Your roommate should also know your feelings about frequent "guests" in your house, apartment or dorm room. Set a limit of maybe twice a week, says Adam Lovelace, Olathe senior. "Two years ago, my old roommate and this girl would stay up late talking, and it kept me awake," he says. Dorms are especially difficult places to bring late night guests. The smaller the space, the more crowded it can become.
Well, it happens
In the (likely) event that one of your "guests" breaks one of your roommate commandments, step up to the plate and fix it. If the girl you brought home ate your roommate's entire box of Oreos, replace it, man. If you notice that someone used your bathroom and made a hair-raising mess, calmly talk to your roommate.
"Once my roommate's friend threw up on my carpet, and I was so pissed, I

made the guy clean it up while he was still drunk," says John Tyrrell, Olathe sophomore.
In any case, don't let frustration build. Talk it out. Then get over it and realize that everyone makes mistakes. Molly Glanz, Naperville, Ill., senior, had a talk with her roommate after a guest made a mess in their bathroom.
Icebreakers to begin that awkward conversation
So, about that guy who used my toothbrush this morning...can we talk about that?
Are you always going to bring home people who snore that loudly?
I'm allergic to your friend (insert name here). Can we limit those visits?
I promise to not walk around naked if you keep your late night "friends" quiet.
"If you're gonna have people over, respect our house and our things," she says.
Remember the humor in it all
Some of the funniest stories that people tell each other in college involve nights when their friends hooked up with someone. Many stories are embarrassing and many are ones that you can tease your roommate about for years.
something to Glanz.
"I've taken someone home, but it's only been a friend and we just get stupid and make bad decisions. It's always laugh about later," says
Sometimes roommates simply forget that they share a space with others and do things that should be done in the privacy of, well, a locked and soundproof bedroom.
"We came home one night and they (her roommate and guest) were having fun on the couch, and they had to run naked into the bedroom," says Denisha Jones, Kansas City, Mo., senior. "So we had to have a discussion about that."
Living with roommates is a learning experience."Living with a roommate is a great step toward a successful marriage because it teaches you how to live with another person.It's a mental shift to start thinking about someone else before you act," says Claire Colvin, editor of Women Today Magazine in her article "Surviving Your Roommate (And Surviving Yourself in the Process)."
Just remember to keep an open mind and know that this is another one of the many lessons you will learn in college.

Little Miss Sunshine
A knockout comedy with heart, "Little Miss Sunshine" follows a dysfunctional family as they drive to California for a beauty competition. The family is comprised of a father who is a motivational speaker (Greg Kinear), a frustrated housewife (Toni Collette), an optimistic and sweet daughter, Olive (Abigail Breslin), a heroin addicted grandfather (Alan Arkin), a scholarly uncle and a
teenage son who has taken a vow of silence.
This delightful film works because of its fast-paced, smart script and the perfect comedic chemistry of the cast. Throughout the film, there is a feeling of normalcy in their conversations, frustrations and everyday clothes, despite their unconventional journey.
Funnyman Steve Carell, as Olive's uncle, is one of the film's many highlights. His
sarcastic side comments are icing on the cake.
Newcomer Abigail Breslin, as Olive, is adorable and shows great depth in the film's dramatic scenes. It is her determination to compete in the pageant that gives the film grounding sincerity through the wild plot. This "Sunshine" seamlessly manages to be sweet without being cloy, funny without being gross and heartfelt without being sappy.
"Little Miss Sunshine" is one of the best and most hilarious movies I've seen in a long time. Sorry Captain Jack, "Little Miss Sunshine" is the best film of the summer.

Regina Spekt Begin To Hope
After Paris Hilton released an album, I was beginning to question whether I should ever listen to music again. After all, in my opinion the music world had basically ended. But after hearing "Begin To Hope"I knew that, in the end, good music would prevail.
Singer-songwriter Regina Spektor follows up her popular album, "Soviet Kitsch" with "Begin To Hope," an album filled with depth, variety and a lot of great songs.
The album starts strong with the groove-heavy "Fidelity," followed by the up tempo rocker "Better" and one of my favorite songs on the album, "Samson," filled with smart lyrics and a beautiful melody.
Broadway-esque "Après Moi," the schizophrenic "20 Years of Snow" and the jazzy "Lady." Nevertheless, they're better than anything Lenny Kravitz has ever put out.
The album loses power in the middle section with some experimental tracks, including the
"Summer in The City" closes out the album the way it should be done, with a beautiful song that will leave you pining for the carefree days of summer.
So in a world that allows Paris Hilton to record an album, it's nice that genuine music still exists. And that's what can be found on "Begin To Hope."

CHOOSING A LIFE
100%
One man's trek to discover what he should do with his life
by Dave Ruigh
When I was 6, I wanted to be a priest. This had less to do with a precocious religiosity than my fascination With Catholic iconography, but at least it was a viable career option. My plan would have been reasonable, even admirable, had I not also wanted to be a professional football player.
— probably a weak-side linebacker. To my sugar-addled 6-year-old mind, dispensing absolution and quarterback sacks in equal measure made perfect sense.
Clearly, I am not a priest or a football player today, and I probably never will be. I don't know what I want to do with my life and never really have. Oh, I've had fleeting plans, but nothing concrete (or logical). In fact, I settle on a new career every two or three weeks. Nothing seems to stick.
1991-1993; 1996-1998: I, like millions of pre-and post-pubescent American males, want to be like Mike. I don't shave my head and can't drive to my left, but I do buy a bunch of
A few more highlights from my lifelong struggle to find a vocation:
I GRADUATE IN MAY AND THE 'REAL WORLD' IS FAST APPROACHING. BUT CONSIDERING THAT MANY OTHER STUDENTS ARE EQUALLY UNSURE OF THEIR FUTURES AND THAT AMERICANS CHANGE JOBS EVERY FOUR-AND-A-HALF YEARS, MY VOCATIONAL SCHIZOPHRENIA DOESN'T SEEM SO UNUSUAL.
Nike T-shirts. Not talented enough for competitive play, I toil in the backwaters of VMCA ball until the dream finally dies.
Fourth grade: Inspired by the mad genius of "Calvin and Hobbes," I try my hand at cartooning but can't come up with a name for the lead character. Dispirited, I abandon the whole enterprise, never to draw again.
(Correction: I did trace a photo of Chuck Berry last semester, but that doesn't really count because, however cool, it could hardly be called original.)
College: arbitrarily settle on journalism as my major and am admitted to the
school early. Later, after reading a book about the Middle Ages, I tack on a history major for good measure. Neither degree will be particularly useful in times of economic recession.
Fall 2003:The Strokes release "Room on Fire." I can't believe guitars can sound like keyboards and decide to form a band. I dress, drink and smoke cigarettes accordingly, but can't sing or play an instrument. My parents wonder why they're paying my tuition bills.
Six months ago:I ask my parents if I can move into their attic to live a life of monkish austerity.I plan to eat only white rice and read "The Decline
and Fall of the Roman Empire" until I understand it. Again, my parents regret having a child.
The struggle continues today. I'm torn between two professions that, at first glance, appear to be equally awesome: mailman and park ranger. I have considered doing both (remember the football-playing priest?) but realized most people don't have their mail delivered in the mountains. Besides, the pale blue wool suit would probably attract unwanted attention from bears and other large predatory animals, so it's just as well that I abandon the idea altogether.
In any event, I graduate in May and the "real world" is fast approaching. But considering that many other students are equally unsure of their futures and that Americans change jobs every four-and-a-half years, my vocational schizophrenia doesn't seem so unusual. I may not know what I want to do with my life but, hey, it could be worse. After all, I'm not an English major. Those guys are really screwed.

Beerfest
Having loved "Super Troopers," another Broken Lizard comedy, I desperately wanted to love "Beerfest." Set at an international drinking competition, the well of classic booze-joke opportunities seemed deeper than an emband frontman. Unfortunately, the film — like the frontman — turned out to be empty.
The movie's downfall comes from the players' misguided attempt to create original characters. The formula that worked so well in "Super Troopers" (i.e. four badasses and a total loser), has been altered with terrible results. Even loads of dick jokes and several instances of gratuitous nudity can't keep "Beer Fest" from being a disappointment. Next time you want to see classic drinking humor, save yourself five bucks and follow me around while I'm drunk.
"Beerfest" opens well enough, when the Wolfhouse brothers (Eric Stolhanske and Paul Soter),lifelong drinkers, are sent to spread the ashes of their recently departed grandfather at Oktoberfest. There, they stumble upon an ancient competition of drinking games and are humiliated by the perennially victorious German team. The guys, set to avenge their pummeling, put together a formal drinking team (the rest of the comedy group Broken Lizard) and train themselves in the drinking arts in preparation for the final showdown.

If bands were allowed to run for public office (a startlingly excellent idea in my opinion), Now It's Overheard would surely top the "indie rock" ticket. Check the stats: NIO is from a town (Athens, Ga.) and on a label (Saddle Creek) that define whatever "indie rock" is currently supposed to mean.
