Idol star urges HIV awareness
BY KATY BLAIR
Students in Hashinger Hall got up close and personal Friday night with former American Idol contestant Frenchie Davis.
Davis came to Lawrence to speak for 15 Seconds, a student group dedicated to raising HIV awareness. As a performer on the Broadway show RENT, Davis had plenty to say about HIV education.
"If you are under the impression that you will go through this life without being affected by this disease, you are lying to yourself."
Davis said.
Davis talked about her first exposure to AIDS from watching "The Real World." Pedro, one of the participants in the 1994 season, died from complications of the disease during the show. Davis said she never watched the show again because of the effect it had on her as a teenager.
"I cried, I grieved for that boy," Davis said. "His story has stuck with me. I've always thought about him."

BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
"Finest Four" and "Wild West" aren't typically referenced when describing the NCAA tournament's regional champions or the University of Kansas' bracket region.
But May Davis, Clay Center freshman, represents the University in a Spike TV "Bracket Babes" competition, where 32 "tanned and toned college co-eds" vie in a looks contest for $5,000 and a trip to New York City for a "sexy photo shoot," according to Spike TV's Web site.
"The picture on the site doesn't even look like me." Davis said. "I'm just like, 'Who are you, and why are you on the Internet?' It's a very awkward feeling."
Voting for Davis' bracket begins today on Spike TV's web site, www.sptketv.com/babes/Bwebt babes/index.html. Viewers can cast their ballots once every hour.

Ruti Patel, Overland Park junior, applies heena during Elwishorn Hall's "Around the World in 80 Minutes" program Saturday afternoon. Residents had three hours to visit different countries on each floor. Patel talked about the Indian culture and the history behind heena. "It been embedded in us since we were little girls," said Patel of how she learned to apply heena.
BY KATY BLAIR
India and Cuba have never been closer than they were Saturday.
The two occupied the same building as part of "Around the World in 80 Minutes" held in Ellsworth Hall. The new program was open to all students and featured cuisine and activities from 10 foreign countries to get students involved in diversity education.
"I think it's good for them to see
other countries because not everyone has a chance to go," said Jasmine Walthall, program and communications coordinator for Association of University Residence Halls.
Walhall, Texarkana, Texas, sophomore got the program idea from a resident adviser last year but couldn't get funding in time.
Walthall said picking the countries was the most difficult part of planning the program. In the
end, it came down to a vote by the residence hall students who chose countries such as Greece, Cuba, France, Switzerland, Germany, Kenya and Italy.
Each of the 10 floors in Ellsworth was host to one country and had an activity for the students to participate in. To make the event entertaining, the program pulled ideas from tourist attractions and traditions in the 10 countries.
Salsa dancing lessons were the main event for Spain on the third floor, and henna tattoos were popular for India on the fifth floor.
Ruti Patel, Overland Park junior, designed the tattoos for participants. Patel said that she was happy to help with the program since she had been drawing henna tattoos for many years.

Student Senate nixes bill to add textbook library
A bill to fund the textbook library failed at the Student Senate committee meeting on Wednesday.
The bill asked for $25,515.29 to establish a textbook library as a way to decrease student textbook costs.
The Senate Rights Committee failed the bill because it did not believe in the alliance between the University libraries, KU Bookstores and faculty and because it wouldn't benefit the students enough, Hannah Love, Dodge City junior and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said.

Clinton raises $36 million this quarter for campaign
WASHINGTON — Two Democratic presidential candidates broke previous fundraising records during the first three months of the year, with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton setting a high bar of $26 million in new contributions for the quarter.
Former Sen. John Edwards' campaign said he had raised more than $14 million since the beginning of the year.
The Clinton campaign also announced that she had transferred about $10 million from her last Senate campaign, bringing her total receipts for the quarter to $36 million. Edwards had no such transfers of money.
Clinton aides would not specify how many of her contributions were designated only for the primary election and how many could only be used in the general election, if she were the party's nominee.
Edwards' aides said about $1 million of his contributions could only be used in a general election.
Neither campaign divulged how much money it had spent in the quarter or how much cash it had in hand.

McCain tours Iraq to view American-Iraqi security
Associated Press
BAGHDAD — After a heavily guarded trip to a Baghdad market, Sen. John McCain insisted Sunday that a U.S.-Iraqi security crackdown in the capital was working and said Americans lacked a "full picture" of the progress. The U.S. military later reported six soldiers were killed in roadside bombings southwest of Baghdad.
Four soldiers were killed responding to the blast that killed the first two, the military said. Britain, meanwhile, announced that one of its soldiers had been shot to death in southern Iraq — its 104th combat casualty since the war started four years ago.
McCain, a Republican presidential hopeful, criticized the media for not giving Americans enough information about the recent drop in execution-style sectarian killings, the establishment of security posts throughout the city and Sunni tribal efforts against al-Qaida in the western Anbar province.
"These and other indicators are reason for cautious, very cautious optimism about the effects of the new strategy," said McCain, who was leading a Republican congressional delegation to Iraq.

Pope John Paul II takes step toward canonization
VATICAN CITY — Cathone Church officials reached a key milestone in the drive to make Pope John Paul II a saint Monday, closing an investigation into his life and handing over a dossier detailing the purported miraculous cure of a nun who prayed to him.
Pope Benedict XVI put John Paul on the fast track for possible sainthood weeks after his death when he waived the customary five-year waiting period and allowed the investigation to begin immediately.
The events come two years after John Paul died, a remarkably fast pace that underscores the church's keen interest in beatifying John Paul and responding to the calls of "Sainthood Immediately!" that erupted after his death.

Dance Across Lawrence Day brings shows, free classes

BY KYLE CARTER
Learning a few new moves was free for participants in Dance Across Lawrence on Saturday. The event, sponsored by the Lied Center, the Lawrence Arts Center and the University of Kansas department of music and dance, featured free dance classes and performances for the public from 8 a.m., *7 p.m.
Among the styles of dance taught at the 30 classes throughout the day were ballet, ballroom, east Indian, hip-hop, jazz and swing. Stephanie Bottoms, Omaha, Neb., senior and intern at the Lied Center, said class sizes ranged from three in a ballet class to 30 in an advanced jazz class.
Another popular class was hiphop, which was taught by members of the Rock Chalk Dancers, Aubrey Morris, Lawrence freshman, convinced her boyfriend to join her for the class after hearing out about it through her sorority. Students learned choreography to a Ciara song in eight-count bits and progressively built on more steps until performing the entire routine for each other at end the class.
"I've never really danced routines so it was really difficult for me," Morris said. "It was so much fun though."
Candi Baker, dance program director, said the idea for the day came from a similar event held in Boston. She said the event showcased the wide variety of dance available in Lawrence.
"We just wanted to open the
doors to everyone and get people excited about dance," she said.
Mayor Mike Amyx declared the day "Dance Across Lawrence Day," and Baker said she hoped
it would become an annual event. Lawrence native Karole Armitage also returned Saturday night with her dance company and participants received discounted tickets.

》 AVANT-GARDE
Artists debate modern jazz
BY BETHANY BUNCH
Students curious about the debate over modern musical movements had the opportunity to learn more during the KU Interdisciplinary Jazz Studies Colloquium last weekend.
Events kicked off on Friday morning with a lecture by Kevin Whitehead, a former jazz critic for National Public Radio and lecturer at the university.
The theme of the weekend was the avant-garde, a term assigned to cutting-edge artists and their work.
whitehead had studied the genre extensively and cited an article he wrote for Voice magazine in 1995, titled "Death to the Avant-Garde."
"The term can either be a badge of honor or an insult." Whitehead said.
The early morning lecture gathered a small crowd of about 20, most of whom were other faculty members. Chuck Berg, professor of theatre and film, said he was happy with the turnout.
"For a jazz audience this early in the morning, I'd say were off to a
good start," Berg said.
Whitehead shifted genres from NPR critic to KU faculty three years ago. He moved from New York City to Holland to Kansas, pursuing music studies at each location.
Fred Ho, composer, performer, author, activist and founder of the Afro-Asian Ensemble, performed Friday afternoon playing solo baritone saxophone. He also delivered a lecture.
Whitehead said he was not convinced that there is a true avant-garde today. He disagreed.
"I think music will always go forward." Ho said. "I think most of jazz has been avant-garde. There's always been a quest to explore the parameters of American society."
More than 10 different speakers and artists took part in the production of the colloquium.

>> PET FOOD RECALL
Joint suit could bring more money
BY MARK JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALBANY, N.Y. — Pet owners are not likely to get much compensation if they individually sue pet food-maker Menu Foods over the death of a dog or cat, although they might better fare if they joined forces in a class action suit, legal experts say.
Ontario-based Menu Foods has taken a low-key approach to the recall, expressing concern for people who have lost pets and offering to pay veterinary bills if a pet's illness or death can be directly linked to the food, but admitting no wrongdoing.
Jack Hall, a product liability lawyer from Pittsburgh, said the owner of a dog or cat used for breeding or of a specially trained animal could argue for higher compensation on the basis of lost potential earnings.
Hall said pet owners would fare better in a class action suit.
"I would think this kind of case would allow itself to a class action. That could work for somebody here," he said.
On Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said recalled pet foods contained melamine, a chemical used to make plastics, but that its tests failed to confirm the presence of a rat poison, aminopterin, reported by the New York State Food Laboratory. The FDA said it also found melamine in wheat gluten used as an ingredient in the wet-style products. Still, it was not immediately clear whether the melamine was the culprit in the deaths.
"We are angered that a source outside the company has adulterated our product," Menu Foods Chief Executive Paul Henderson said.

Fundraiser honors women
BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
A talent and performance show called "Genius of Women" helped raise more than $350 for the Salvation Army this past weekend to benefit battered women and children.
The show featured singers, actors, various musicians and 10 baton twirler last Friday and Saturday nights. It was designed to celebrate, honor and promote the dignity women, said Maria Thyerson, Milwaukee graduate student who helped plan and produce the show.
Friday night's show attracted more than 165 people, filling every seat in the choir room at Murphy Hall and leaving about three dozen people standing. About 80 people attended Saturday night's show.
Thorson said that three years ago she helped plan a similar "Genius of,o.Women" show at Saint Louis University based on conversations about women as individuals. She said the show provided another
outlet for performers of different talents to express their gratitude to women.
"One of my favorite parts of the show is how we come from different backgrounds and share a similar vision," she said.
Thorson said the show's title was from Pope John Paul II's "Letter to Women", in which he described his profound love for women.
"He fills women with joy to be women and fills men with joy to have women in their lives," she said.
Becca Ashley, Olathe sophomore, said that at first she was reluctant to sing at the show.
"I never sing in front of people," she said. "Only in the shower."
She said she was happy the "Genius of Women" show was her first chance to perform in front of an audience because it gave her the chance to celebrate women. She sang the song "Christmas Lullaby," which she said exemplified the dignity of motherhood.

"A lot of people think it's pretty weird," she said. "This is my first performance at KU for them to see me twirl."

"I was going to support them from the seat or from the stage." Loehr said.

"Frenchie was amazing," said Charles, Houston graduate student. "It's relieving that someone who's doing what she's doing can deeply commit to something so local."
Charles and Brown first contacted Davis about their plans through MySpace. Charles said she didn't really care about not being paid but was happy to help spread HIV awareness on campus.
15 Seconds began as a way to inform mass audiences about HIV and AIDS. The group is named after a specific HIV statistic that Charles and Brown found, which stated that one person under the age of 25 becomes infected with HIV every 15 seconds.

decided to start prevention through education by forming 15 Seconds.
"The fact that someone of her status wants to give back to the community, that's huge," Wysling said. The rap artist said he was also impressed by her family's involvement in Darfur to help foster better relations.
Wyslid said that it was crucial to get people thinking about the dangers of HIV, and that Every 15 Seconds put together a week of important events to do just that.
Billy Massey, Hoyt sophomore, said it was encouraging to see students supporting the week-long events during 15 Seconds Week, which was March 26 to 31.
Students at the performance were equally impressed by the contributions of Davis and 15 Seconds to social issues.
"People would just stop by, and even if they weren't there the whole time, they learned a little bit," Massey said.
"We all will be directly or indirectly affected by this disease, and I think we all have a social responsibility for the cure," she said.
Davis ended her presentation with a few songs and one-on-one discussion with audience members. She said her experience in Kansas was a positive one and hoped the audience got something out of it.

Davis said that her picture was relatively modest compared to the other women's photos, and that the closest experience she had to a beauty pageant or photo shoot was her high school senior pictures.
"I'm not a model," she said. "A lot of the girls on there are. This is nothing like I would do. My 4.0 is more important to me than any of this stuff."
Duncan Davis, May's father, said his daughter was always most comfortable in the front and in the spotlight. He also said the "Bracket Babes" contest was "idiotic and without any sense whatsoever."
"I think she'll attempt about anything as long as it's not sticking her finger in a light socket," he said.
She said she listened her best body part in her "stats" as her legs, but in retrospect, she would have liked to have said her brain instead. Davis' first bracket opponent listed her favorite body part as her "100% REAL chest."
"As far as selling my body goes, I don't do that," she said. "I'm more of an academically-oriented person."
Davis said she wants to bring her friend Ali Zeigler, Los Baños, Philippines, freshman, to New York City if she wins the contest. Zeigler, who acted as the photographer-in-chief for an initial photo shoot in the corner of Davis' dorm room, was a big proponent of Davis entering the contest.
"May and I kind of do spontaneous things, and a lot of times they turn out to be funny stories." Ziegler said.
Davis stumbled across the competition on Facebook late one night in January and decided to enter the contest. She submitted the same photo she used on her Senate posters, a picture she said wasn't even scandalous.
"I think the contest is really superficial," she said. "If somebody was doing it who wasn't me, I'd probably be judgmental." Then again, she asked, "Why not, for $5,000?"

Casino proposal flies by Legislature
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Two weeks ago, if someone wanted to read the casino-and-slots bill that would pass the Legislature and make perhaps the biggest social and political change in Kansas in the past 20 years, its sponsors didn't have a copy to share.
Even some supporters didn't see the text of the 98-page gambling proposal until the House began debating it March 22. Six days and 10 hours later, it was on its way to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who'll sign it and make Kansas the only state to operate its own casino resorts.
Opponents were angered that such a big bill could fly through the Legislature so quickly. Supporters took advantage of long-term changes in how the Legislature operates, accomplishing something that would have seemed inconceivable two decades ago.
That process — looser, far less predictable and less controlled from the top — has flaws that gambling opponents were quick to note, such
as the ability to pass such a big proposal with a minimum of fly-specking. But there's an advantage, too: It's far more difficult for one person or a small group to thwart the will of legislative majorities, if those majorities are determined and spend some time on strategy.
"That's not unique to Kansas. That's a national trend that's true at the federal level as well," said Senate Majority Leader Derek Schmidt (R-Independence) who voted for the bill. "It's the democratization of the legislative process."
Large casino-and-hotel complexes will be permitted in Ford County, Wyandotte County, either Cherokee or Crawford counties and either Sedgwick or Summer counties.
Passage of the gambling bill turned a session known mostly for low productivity into one likely to be memorable.
The state will own and operate the casinos, though private companies will manage their day-to-day operations. Supporters believe the state eventually will realize $200 million a year in revenues.

OUR VIEW
Court case ridicules First Amendment
In 2002.
Joseph Frederick,
a high school
senior in Juneau,
Alaska, unfurled
a 14-foot sign
that proclaimed,
"Bong Hits 4"
The first amendment is a serious matter; it's not a superfluous law that allows people to annoy others.
Jesus!" in front of passing news cameras at a school field trip to the Olympic Torch Relay. After his school principal, Deborah Morse, tore down the sign and gave him a 10-day suspension. Frederick sued the school on the grounds that, under the first amendment, his right to free speech had been violated. He won.
Five years later, the case of Frederick v. Morse, otherwise known as bratty pothead v. anail principal, is in the Supreme Court, making a mockery of the judicial system. Unlike famous past cases that made groundbreaking rulings to establish civil liberties, this case won't really establish anything for the better. No matter who the Supreme Court sides with, their decision is problematic.
Frederick was on public property, and his sign was both innocuous and nonsensical. Whether Morse should have taken the sign down, she shouldn't have suspended him. Free speech doesn't have to be intelligent speech. However, if the justices side with Frederick, who publicly admitted he wanted to irritate school officials and be televised, and has, incidentally, also been arrested for distribution of marijuana, the decision could cue misbehaving students around the nation to abuse their right to free speech and disrupt school cohesion.
Morse did or believing that a school official could (and should) block a student's illegal drug reference from public
On the other hand, it is not difficult to imagine acting as
television on a school outing. It certainly doesn't seem fair that Morse should provide monetary compensation to a kid who pushes limits to irritate school officials. If the lusties side with Morse, their decision may hinder students' ability to constructively voice opinions or to oppose school policy.
Grant Snider/KANSAN
The verdict? Please, have some respect for the judicial system.
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
The first amendment is a serious matter; it's not a superfluous law that allows people to annoy others. While we enjoy it daily, we also learn to leave certain unnecessary comments at the door, particularly in institutional settings. Employees are expected to act appropriately in a work setting; students are expected to act appropriately in a school setting.
At the same time, the first amendment can be unjustly violated, and it is important to ascertain when free speech is being unfairly limited. For example, should school officials have the ability to limit productive class conversation about illegal substances? How much control should schools have over students' studies? These are questions that need to be seriously addressed.
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
NATURAL SELECTION
FAILURE TO RETRODUCE

Unlike these hypothetical cases, however, bratty pothead v. anal principal creates more confusion than clarification.

Guster to promote environmental change
Members of the band Guster, campus environmental groups, and the Campus Climate Challenge invite you to join us in a town hall forum to discuss sustainability on campus today at 2:30 p.m. at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Memorial Union.
This open meeting is a key part of Guster's Campus Consciousness Tour, and the collective environmental goals of the band and its touring partners. We believe college campuses are epicenters for social change in this country and are in a unique position to lead the way in sustainable practices and technologies.
The mission of the Campus Consciousness Tour is to inform, inspire and activate students and above all to leave a positive impact on each community and college/university that the tour reaches. We aim to support the groups on campus who are working to make the school more "green" and have asked them to play a central role in this forum, which will be half presentation and half open discussion.
Endowments Institute will also speak about how schools can use their enormous shareholder power to create positive change. Did you know over 350 billion dollars are being invested through college endowments in this country?
Mark Orlowski of the Sustainable
Attendees will also have a chance to check out the biodiesel-powered tour bus as part of the "Pimp My Clean Ride" demonstration.
Guster's tour itself consists of many eco-friendly elements including biodiesel powered busses and trucks, biodegradable cups and plates for backstage catering and organic cotton merchandise. The Stonyfield Farm Shift Pavilion will be set up at the concert where you can learn about renewable energy and alternative fuels, offset your personal energy use by buying a "Big Green Friend" Carbon Offset sticker and donate canned goods to your local food bank.

It should also be noted that in case a female student forgets to refill her newly expensive birth control, pharmacies are required to carry emergency contraception behind the counter, which can be obtained without a doctor's prescription.
contractual obligation should be fought for the sake of women's reproductive health and freedoms. I urge KU students to write their Congressmen, and express their concerns with the administration of the University. This is absolutely unacceptable.
birth control should be more affordable and more widely available for all women.
Wax, a professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania, spoke to an audi-
One shouldn't attack a culture, or anything for that matter, even if the attack is based on facts, without some sort of solution.
After listening to Amy Wax's social welfare guest lecture at the Federalist Society's monthly meeting, I was offended and angered that the University of Kansas School of Law would welcome a blatant racist to campus.
University should consider students' needs for economical birth control
Basically, Wax claims the reason 69 percent of children born by African Americans are born out-of-wedlock is because of the "crummy boyfriend problem."
and unnecessary abortions for those that are sexually active. The cost of birth control over time is cheap compared to the other far more expensive sexual consequences. That still doesn't mean that pharmaceutical companies should take advantage of this to exploit students and the economically disadvantaged. Regardless of abortion viewpoints, and perhaps even because of them,
"Black men feel totally entitled to play the field and not stick with one partner," she said. "And there is nothing more of an impediment to marriage than knowing other women have had your intended's children." Wax also said that every man lower class black women know acts like this that makes it hard for them to find stable companions.

>> LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I completely agree with Wax that there are cultural issues in the black community, as in any culture, that need to be confronted. And to be fair, in a private interview Wax told me, "These distinctions are based on facts. Blacks at all levels of education have a higher level of out-of-wedlock childbirths than white women. I'm just deducing that from observed behavior." That aside, it was not Wax's premise that irritated me. I respect and applaud her willingness to confront male African-Americans. However some of the statements made in her lecture were unnecessary
I was shocked to read "Birth control prices get knocked up," informing me my alma mater was going to be hiking up the prices of contraception for students. It absolutely baffles me that pharmaceutical companies and Medicaid would allow this to happen in the current political climate of anti-choice in the context of abortion.
This pharmaceutical/Medicaid

Birth control is the most effective tool against unwanted pregnancies
What was actually an extremely enlightening lecture on a behavior trend in America was stained by insensitive comments.
Additionally, Wax openly rejected Kathryn Edin and Maria Kefalas's research on the same subject presented in their book "Promises I Can Keep" in which Edin and Kefalas claim that all women regardless of education, race and culture.
Wax frequently made statements that associated upper-class Americans exclusively with whites and lower class, less educated Americans with blacks. It is true that most of the people below the poverty line in America are black. However Wax's discourse leads one to believe all blacks in the United States are poor.

When one wise student asked what "we" should do about "this ominous trend." Wax rudely responded, "We have to solve it? The people who do not have the problem need to solve their prob-
not just blacks, are marrying less because of increased expectations of their partners. Women want material security, like money and a nice house, before they marry instead of building it with their partner. The rich can afford to provide this security while the poor can't.
In an interview, Kefalas did not discount Wax's deduction that cultural aspects and "crummy boyfriend's" play a large role in the problem. However she graciously pointed out that, "The boyfriend can't get less crummy if they do not have a way to." Kefalas said that programs aimed at providing opportunities to inner-city children are not stressed enough.
"Everyone knows what a good boyfriend is," she said. "Everyone understands the process. But getting there is the problem. (Lower class black women) kind of drift into these relationships because there are not any other options."
Although Wax said that she was "more interested in dispelling conventional wisdom than providing answers" during her lecture at the University, that's not good enough for me. One shouldn't attack a culture, or anything for that matter, even if the attack is based on facts, without some sort of a solution. Solutions are gestures of the truly concerned.
In the future I would encourage all groups on campus to be cautious of the speakers they invite. Talking to the prospective speaker, even if it is only for a minute or two, can give a better indicator of their personality than a list of credentials. Also, find out other places this person has spoke at recently and get in touch with someone who listened to the lecture there.
However I am writing this under the assumption that The Federalist Society and other groups on campus do not support racists.

NATURAL DISASTER
Quake shakes South Pacific
Powerful earthquake hits the Solomon Islands leading police to warn citizens of tsunami winds
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ONIARA, Solomon Islands — A powerful earthquake struck off the Solomon Islands on Monday, sending a tsunami wave crashing into villages on the country's west coast and leaving at least four people missing, officials said.
The quake, measured at mag

police in the western town of Gizo reported a wave several yards high crashing ashore, shortly before communications with the two police stations in the town were cut, said Sgt. Godfrey Abiah in the capital, Honiara.

Harry Wickham, a hotel worker in Gizo, told New Zealand television many buildings along the waterfront had been damaged.

Abiah said police in Gizo had been warning residents to move to higher ground away from the coast when the tsunami hit. Communications were lost soon afterward.
A spokesman for Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare, Deli Oso, said the quake was felt in Honiara but there were no reports of any damage.
"We have lost radio contact with the two police stations down there and we're not getting any clear picture from down there," he told The Associated Press by telephone.
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology also set the earthquake's magnitude at 8.1, but said it had detected no tsunami threat for Australia's northeast coast.
"At this stage, the warning remains current but we have not detected anything abnormal!" said spokesman Peter jarrott.

Two of 15 captured British soldiers point to a map of the Persian Gulf in footage aired on Iran's official Arabic-language television channel Sunday. Al-Alam TV said the two sailors were identifying where their boat crossed into Iranian waters on March 23, leading to their capture. Negotiations continue between Britain and Iran who insist the sailors had trespassed into its waters, but Britain says the team was in Iraq waters.
Captured sailors apologize
Iranian television stations air statements from Britons who were seized in the Persian Gulf
BY NASSER KARIMI ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian state television aired new video Sunday showing two of the 15 captured British sailors pointing to a spot on a map of the Persian Gulf where they were seized and acknowledging it was in Iranian territorial waters.
Britain's Foreign Office immediately denounced the video, saying it was "completely unacceptable for these pictures to be shown on TV".
Adding to tensions between the two countries, about 200 angry Iranian youths chanting "Death to Britain" and "Death to America" rework rocks and firecrackers at the
British Embassy and tried to rush the compound but were held back by police.
The 15 Britons were detained by Iranian naval units on March 23 while patrolling for smugglers as part of a U.N.-mandated force monitoring the Persian Gulf. They were seized by Iranian naval units near the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab, a waterway that has long been a disputed dividing line between Iraq and Iran. Iran insists the sailors illegally entered its waters, but Britain says the team was in Iraqi waters at the time of their capture.
The captives first appeared on the state-run Arabic-language TV channel Al-Alam in separate video clips looking relaxed in military fatigues and pointing at the same map of the Persian Gulf.
The newscaster said the two had confessed to "illegally" trespassing in Iranian waters.
Earlier on Sunday, British Defense Secretary Des Browne said his government was in "direct, bilateral communication with the Iranians."
"I'd like to say to the Iranian people, I can understand why you are so angry about our intrusion into your waters," he said.
"And so far we have been treated very well by all the people here."

Dramatic ninth inning comeback not enough for victory
BY ALISSA BAUER
COLUMBIA, Mo. — After falling behind 8-0 in the fourth inning, senior center fielder Kyle Murphy's base hit broke through the left side in the top of the ninth. That hit capped an incredible comeback, putting Kansas up 9-8.
But a celebration never took place.
Murphy's Missouri counterpart, center fielder Evan Frey, made sure of it. With two outs and one on in the bottom of the ninth, Freysted a walk-off home run to left-center field. The 10-9 final score gave Missouri (22-8, 4-2) the game and the series.
"That's about as tough of a loss as I've ever had," coach Ritch Price said. "Especially when you're down 8-0
and you play that hard to get back in the thing. We had some huge clutch hits along the way. Obviously it isn't over until the final guy's out."
Particularly when Frey is the final guy. The junior had multi-hit games for all three games of the series, going 7-for-16 with nine RBI and scoring seven times.
Sophomore closer Saimth (2-1) had the Tigers down to their final
out when he surrendered a base hit to pinch hitter Brock Bond. Frey came up next.
Although Kansas (16-17,3-6) had the lead and the momentum, Price had no intentions of thinking the game was a done deal.
"I didn't think anything like that," Price said. "I knew we would have to keep competing and find a way to close them out. We got the first
two guys out, obviously that was huge. Bond's had a tough series, but he pinch hits and gets a base knock. Then their best hitter put a great swing on the baseball."
After Kansas took the lead in the ninth, the team was on pace to take a series from Missouri at Missouri for the first time since 1983. But even that momentum plus a two-home run effort from junior Ryne Price

McClinton ready to lead Defense short on experience looks to veteran

all graduated, leaving behind a defense short on experience.
"I've got to be more of a player," McClinton said. "When the game's on the line, I have to be the one making the play."
The members of the graduating class, who combined to make 170 tackles and 11 1/2 sacks last season, leave the defensive reins in the capable hands of senior defensive tackle James McClinton.
Because tackle is not the most flashy or pivotal position in Kansas' 4-3 defensive scheme, his vocal leadership could be even more important than his play on the field. The role of team patriarch is not one McClinton shies away from.
The mature attitude McClinton developed last winter is something the inexperienced defense will need in order to succeed in 2007. Besides clogging the middle of the field and stopping opposing running backs in their tracks, McClinton will be a frequent source of advice and counsel for his younger teammates.
"Last year we had leaders but now they're gone and it seems like I'm taking their role," McClinton
said. "Now I'm the vet and I've got to be the daddy."
If there is one thing the McClinton, from Garland, Texas, has plenty of, it is confidence. Though he stops short of calling himself cocky, he says that he is ready to show his fellow defensive linemen the ropes. McClinton has quite the task ahead of him, considering the fact that he and sophomore defensive end Russell Brorsen are the only defensive linemen on the roster to have started a game in a Kansas uniform.
Behind McClinton, the rest of the defense is a bit more experienced. Sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib is coming off an AllBig 12 First Team season and the linebacking corps is anchored by sophomore linebacker Mike Rivera. Even so, McClinton's outgoing nature has given his veteran teammates a lift.
"He's an awesome player and a great guy," freewind safety Darrrell Stuckey said of McClinton. "If someone makes a big play, he's the first one on the field to celebrate."
Stuckey said McClinton had become a leader both on and off the field. The two are friends and started a Fellowship of Christian Athletes group with the help of sophomore cornerback Gary Green.
Leadership is a quality that can be extremely difficult to find. Kansas football may have stumbled upon 283 pounds worth in the form of James McClinton.

Rally can't save Kansas
Jayhawks third-inning comeback attempt unsuccessful as Baylor Bears win 5-3

The Kansas softball teams'late rally fell short against Baylor Sunday afternoon. The 5-3 loss secured a weekend sweep for the Bears (34-9, 4-0). With the loss the Jayhawks fell to 2-2 in the Big 12 Conference and 25-11 on the season.

Baylor struck first in the top of the second inning, catching the lajwayk
Senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys started in the circle for the Jayhawks but struggled in the 3 1/3 innings she pitched, giving up five runs on five hits and walked two.
Humphreys did strike out four Bears on the day, and with that surpassed coach Tracy Bunge for fourth
on the Jayhawks all-time career strikeout list with 644 strikeouts.
The achievement was overshadowed in the loss, though.
"Kassie was not sharp and was leaving a lot of stuff out over the plate," Bunge said.
Bunge said that although Humphreys was a little bit off this weekend, she expected her to bounce
back.
The defense was having a tough day, and the offense had its own problems. The offense was held to one hit through five innings of play.
"I really was disappointed with our focus and our intensity, especially on the offensive side of things for the

first five-plus innings." Bunge said.
Freshman second baseman Sara Ramirez led off the inning, and the one hit came off her bat and sailed over the left field wall for a home run for the jayhawks.
Ramirez, who is only 5-foot-1-inch, credits mechanics to her power behind her small frame. After the home run, the bats went cold as Baylor pitcher Kirsten Shortridge struck out the next two Jayhawk batters and forced a ground out to end the inning.
Shortridge went six innings, striking out seven Jayhawks and allowing only four hits.
"Their kid did a great job," Bunge said of Shortridge. "She pitched exactly to what we were swinging at".
Bunge said that the team was not aggressive enough against Shorttridge until later in the game.
"I felt that we were passive, we were swinging at pitches outside of the zone. We were really chasing the drop ball, and there was no reason with the umpire not having a low zone to go out and chase," Bunge said.
As the layhawks were hoping to make a comeback after Ramirez's home run in the bottom of the third, the Bears struck right back in the fourth.
The Bears hit a two-run home run off Humphreys, putting the lavwhays down 5-1.

Teenager prevails in major
18-year-old holds on to lead as other players falter in final round of Nabisco Championship
BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. — Morgan Pressel became the youngest major champion in LPGA Tour history Sunday with a game well beyond her 18 years, closing with a 3-under 69 at the Kraft Nabisco Championship as everyone around her self-destructed.
Pressel played her final 24 holes over Mission Hills without a bogey, finishing the round with a 10-foot birdie dutp that looked as though it would be only good enough for second place.
Then came a shocking collapse from Suzann Pettersen, the latest and most significant on a sun-baked afternoon in the desert.
Pettersen, a fiery 25-year-old from Norway, had a four-shot lead with four holes to play when she started hitting tee shots into the ankle deep rough and missing putts
Previously, the youngest major champion was Sandra Post, who was 20 years, 19 days when she won the 1968 LPGA Championship. On the men's tour, Young Tom Morris was 17 when he won the 1868 British Open.
Pressel, who finished at 3-under 285, was on the practice range when she entered the history books at 18 years, 11 months, 22 days.
The kid broke down in tears again, this time over the shock and euphoria of winning a major 10 months after graduating high school.

on the crusty greens. She went bogey-double bogey-bogey to fall one shot behind, and needing a birdie on the par-5 18th, she hit wedge some 25 feet beyond the hole and missed the putt.
"Oh my God! Oh my god!" was all she could manage.

cbCAmpus.com
careerbuilder
Catriona Matthew of Scotland, playing only her second event since becoming a mother three months ago, had a 30-foot birdie put to reach 4 under when she three-putted for a bogey that left her in a tie for second with Pettersen and Brittany Linicome (72).
Se Ri Pak, needing to win this major to complete the career Grand Slam, had a three-shot on the front nine until Pettersen took charge with a four-shot swing over three holes. Pak bogeyed five of the last six holes for a 77.
Then came the sweetest pool party she ever attended. Keeping with tradition at the Kraft Nabisco, Pressel jumped into the pond surrounding the 18th green with her caddie and grandmother, Evelyn Krickstein.
Pressel said. "I knew I had to play solid golf. I couldn't make mistakes, I had to stay cool and be ready for whatever came."
It was hard to believe — not only at that age, but how it all unfolded.
Herb Krickstein, her grandfather and the father of former tennis player Aaron Krickstein, watched with a broad smile. Pressel came out of the water and slipped into a white robe that read, "2007 Kraft Nabisco Champion" on the back.
"This is a dream come true,"
But no one threw this tournament away more than Pettersen.
"I said yesterday that the one who made the fewest mistakes would win," she said. "I did a few too many."
It started with a tee shot into the right rough on the 15th, keeping her from reaching the green and taking bogey. She went right again on the next hole, clipping a branch on her second shot that left her short of the green. Her wedge spun off the front of the green, and she used putter to ram it 8 feet by. The bogey putt caught the lip, and suddenly she was down to 3 under.
Pressel watched workers change Pettersen's score under par from a "5" to a "3" and couldn't believe it. Pettersen then came up short on the
17th, chipped to 10 feet and missed again, falling one shot behind.
Stacy Lewis was low amateur after a 71 that put her in tie for fifth.
"This time, I felt like I lost the tournament," she said. "Last week, I felt like I won second place. Apparently, it wasn't my week. I just didn't finish it off. All credit to Pressel."
A week ago, Pettersen was runner-up to Lorena Ochoa outside Phoenix.
The tears flowed when it ended, the first precipitation all week in the Coachella Valley — joy for Pressel, despair for Pettersen.
Pressel became the first American to win this major since Dottie Pepper in 1999. And it atoned for Cherry Hills two years ago, when she was poised to win the U.S. Women's Open until Birdie Kim holed a bunker shot for birdie as Pressel watched in disbelief from the fairway.
Ochoa, who needed a victory to supplant Annika Sorenstam at No. 1 in the women's world ranking, tied for 10th after closing with a 72. Her hopes were ruined Saturday with a quadruple bogey on the 17th, and while she promised to attack in the final round, the 25-year-old Mexican star didn't make her first birdie until No.11.
Sorenstam shot 75 and finished at 296, here highest 72-hole score in a major since the '98 U.S. Women's Open at Blackwolf Run.

After falling behind 8-0 in the fourth inning, Kansas pulled ahead 9-8 in the top of the ninth. A Missouri walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth gave the game and the series to the Tigers. The last time the Jayhawks won a series at Missouri was 1983. The Jayhawks are now 16-17 overall and 3-6 in the Big 12 Conference.
when you play Missouri it's going to be a war. The things that are said in the stands are nasty, and it's a great rivalry."
A great rivalry produced a great series. All three of the weekend games went down to the wire as neither of Kansas' losses were decided by more than one run. None were shorter than three hours long, and each had an element of comeback, although none as dramatic as Sundav's.
"We pulled this one out on Friday. We pulled it out and had a chance yesterday, and we took the lead today so maybe we got what was coming for us," Murphy said.
By the end of the fourth inning, the series-deciding game looked more than grim. Between the walks, a balk, trouble throwing back to the pitcher and a huge home run, Kansas was down 8-0 less than halfway through the game.
Sophomore lefty Andy Marks' struggle to get the lead-off man out took its toll in the opening innings. The Tigers went in order in the bottom of the first. But the lead-off
But the rivalry isn't named the Border Showdown for nothing, and this one wouldn't end without a fight.
"I thought it was one of the most competitive weekends we've played this season," Murphy said. "I was really pleased with it. That way to end the game doesn't tell the story of how well we played."
Right-handed starter Greg Folgia was dominate for the Tigers to open the game. His three straight strikeouts in the top of the second led to a string of consecutive strikeouts. However, by the top of the fifth Folgia's effectiveness had worn thin. The Jayhawks loaded the bases with just one hit, scoring all three. Still facing a big sixth to tighten the 8-3 gap. Price kicked it off with a solo homer to right field, his second of the series. Younger brother Robby Price, freshman infielder, drove in the second run of the inning, inching the Jayhawks closer.
Two runs in the top of the eighth, highlighted by Murphy's double off the right field wall, pulled the Jayhawks within one and set up the dramatic ninth.
Smyth entered the ninth on his terms. Known for his unshakable mentality, the closer needed to hold on for only one more out. The home run he surrendered to Frey was Smyth's first of the season. Though Smyth took his first loss of the season, that wasn't the most important thing the Jayhawks took away from the weekend.
"It shows that we've got a lot of heart," Murphy said. "Everyone was kind of questioning it a couple of weeks ago, when we're dropping games to Missouri State and that sort of thing. I thought we really came out and showed what we were made of this weekend."

Quality offense fails to bring needed series victory
— Edited by Sharla Shivers
BY SHAWN SHROYER
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Erik Morrison offered his philosophical approach to hitting after Friday's game. The junior shortstop's message was simple: "Sometimes you run into one. Sometimes you don't."
Despite dropping the baseball chapter of the Border Showdown to Missouri two games to one, Kansas'
bats ran into almost everything Missouri's pitchers offered up.
Friday night, Kansas trailed Missouri 5-4 entering the ninth inning. For the Jayhawks from the beginning of the season, a loss would have been set in stone.
The layhawks who came out in Columbia, though, turned the deficit into an advantage with back-to-back home runs by Morrison and junior
second baseman Ryne Price.
The back-to-back homers carried Kansas to a 7-5 victory; its first ninth-inning comeback of the season.
"This weekend did wonders for us confidence-wise, knowing that we're in every game" senior center fielder Kyle Murphy said. "We had a lot of hitters welcoming the challenge of hitting in the top of the ninth with two outs and two strikes. A couple
Saturday nearly produced a second straight ninth-inning comeback. Missouri posted eight runs in the first six innings, but Kansas hacked away at the Tigers' lead.
weeks ago, we might have backed away from that, but to see guys are accepting that challenge is definitely a confidence booster for us all."
The Jayhawks failed to rally for the victory, falling both Saturday and
Sunday to the Tigers.
Despite losing its third straight Big 12 Conference series, Kansas tallied 23 runs in the series, one of its best offensive showings of the season.

Kansas-Missouri series recap
Friday's game
COLUMBIA, Mo. — After a rocky start in conference play, junior shortstop Erik Morrison's two-run homer erased a 5-4 deficit In the top of the ninth to lift the Jayhawks past the Tigers 7-5.
Fellow junior Ryne Price's solo shot that followed only sweetened the deal for Kansas (16-15, 3-4) on the opening day of the series.
Despite being outhit 15-7 by the Tigers (20-8, 2-2), the Jayhawks found a way to put runs across. Starter Aaron Crow nearly doubled his season walk total in his 6 2/3 inning outing. Crow entered the game with 11 walks. He walked eight Jayhawks on Friday night.
Saturday's game
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Sophomore Preston Land's double slammed into the left field bullpen just inches from clearing the fence in the top of the ninth. The first baseman's hit scored two, but Kansas still came up shy of the comeback victory, losing to Missouri 8-7.
Looking not at all like the Jayhawks who have lately struggled offensively, sophomore Buck Afenir belted two home runs in back-to-back at bats. Although Kansas kept close pace with Missouri in game two — each had 12 hits and struck out just five times — Missouri held on.

High-profile additions ready for opening day
BY DOUG TUCKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Some of the most high-profile additions either team has ever had will be in uniform when the Boston Red Sox and Kansas City Royals open their season on Monday.
Curt Schilling, the veteran All-
Star right-hander, will oppose Kansas City's Gil Meche, whose five-year, $55 million free agent contract set a Royals record.
Manning third base for the Royals will be rookie Alex Gordon, last season's minor league player of the year and Kansas City's most highly touted prospect since Carlos Beltran.
Ready to make his much-antici.
pated American debut on Thursday will be right-hander Daisuki Matsuzaka, who cost Boston more than $100 million and will have about 125 Japanese media chronicling his every move.
The Red Sox, third last year in the AL. East after eight consecutive second-place finishes, also will have an expensive newcomer in right field in

veteran I.D. Drew, and their 13th different opening day second baseman in 14 years in Dustin Pedroia.
"Opening day is 24 hours away," Boston manager Terry Francona said Sunday as the Red Sox went through a light workout. "If you're not optimistic, you're crazy. But I think we have a legitimate reason to be optimistic. We think we've got a pretty good team."
Hitting leadoff for the Red Sox will be another newcomer, Julio Lugo, whose .357 on-base percentage from 2004-06 was fifth among major league shortstops.
Will Chaifetz, 10, of Canton, Mass., right, gazes into a case of autographed baseballs Sunday at a souvenir shop across the street from Fenway Park in Boston. The Boston Red Sox will play their first game of the regular season Monday in Kansas City, Mo. against the Royals.
Next in a potentially potent lineup will be No. 2 hitter Kevin Youkilis, followed by sluggers David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez.
It could all add up to a lot of RBI opportunities for Drew, we'll bat fifth after leading the Dodgers in 2006 with 100 RBI and tying for the team lead with 20 homers.
Four players placed on disabled list Sundav
The 40-year-old Schilling, who also had a good spring, will be hoping to erase memories of his start in Kansas City last Aug. 10, when he lost 5-4 after giving up an AL record-tying 10 extra-base hits.
"His velocity's been a little better.
His command's been a little better."
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals completed their 25-man roster Sunday by placing four players on the disabled list and purchasing the contracts of third baseman Alex Gordon and right-hander Brandon Duckworth from Triple-A Omaha.
"I feel great, right where I want to be as far as everything goes," said Drew, who signed a five-year, $70 million contract. "If I can avoid any major injuries, I think I'll have a good year. I feel like I was able to get a lot of hits this spring and keep myself right where I wanted to be."
Placed on the DL were left-hander John Bale (shoulder strain) and right-handers Scott Elarton (shoulder surgery), Luke Hudson (shoulder strain) and Leo Nunez (bruised wrist).
Gordon, last season's minor league player of the year, will start at third. Duckworth will take the fifth spot in the rotation.
said Francona. "Again, he's not coming back from an injury. I think he was actually better this spring than he was (in previous springs)."
The Royals have had only one winning season in the past 14 years. But they are cautiously confident they have improved enough to avoid a fourth-straight 100-loss campaign.
They did get a setback last week when right-hander Octavio Dotel, signed to close for a bullpen that blew a major league-high 31 saves, came up with a strained muscle on his left side.
Manager Buddy Bell said Dotel, who has been two years coming back from reconstructive elbow surgery, would not be available until Wednesday at the earliest.
Associated Press
"We'll re-evaluate on Wednesday," Bell said. "If he's still having trouble then, there's a chance we might put him on the DL. We don't think it's a long-term situation."
Meche will be the Rovals' sixth
different opening-day starter in six years. The right-hander, 11-8 last year for Seattle, will be making his first opening-day start.
"I'm thrilled to death," the seven- year veteran said.
"I get to take the ball, go against Schilling, and give it all I've got. I've never done this before. I've always watched Jamie Moyer pitch opening day for the most part. I've always been excited to watch the game but now to get to play in it is going to be a lot different."
The muscular, soft-spoken Gordon did nothing in the spring to dampen fan enthusiasm. He hit .317 with 12 RBIs, two triples and two home runs.
KANSANCLASSIFIEDS
"A lot of Japanese reporters have been asking me about Dice-K since some people are saying he's the No. 1 prospect this year and I'm the No. 2, or whatever," Gordon said. "It'll be exciting to face him. From what you hear, he's got awesome stuff."

Cardinals celebrate championship
Kristin Casey, 27, brought her 4-month-old son, Connor.
BY JIM SALTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kristina Bish, 27, was at the game with her fiance, Matt Kahn, 26 — they met buying tickets to the 2004 playoffs.
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals returned to Busch Stadium Sunday night just where they left off in October, surrounded by the ever-ardering mass of red.
"We can talk about it when he gets older." Casey said. "He was part of the World Series whether he was in the womb or here in Busch Stadium. So it's special."
For this Opening Day, Cardinals fans really had something to cheer about — the teams first world championship since 1982. The last game of the first year at the new stadium ended with Adam Wanwright striking out Detroit's Brandon Inge to end the deciding Game 5 of the World Series.
Outside of the Yankees, the Cardinals — with 10 world championships and 17 pennants — are the most successful team in baseball history. And they're never hesitant to bask in that rich tradition.
"They give me a kick every time I see them," Tony La Russa, Cardinals manager, said.
Such was the case Sunday, as several players from the team's most recent championship seasons — 1982 and 1967 — participated in pregame ceremonies. The list included 1967's Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Tim McCarver, Mike Shannon and Julian Javier, along with manager Red Schoendienst; and 1982's Bruce Sutter, Keith Hernandez, Bob Forsch, Joaquin Andujar and Dave LaPoint, along with manager White Herzog. The loudest applause, though, was for 86-year-old Stan Musial, wearing his traditional red jacket.
The Cardinals unveiled flags atop a scoreboard denoting all 10 World Series titles, along with a big sign, "World Champions." A large pennant noting the 2006 championship was raised just below the American flag
A motorcade of alternately red and white Ford Mustangs carried players, coaches and La Russa around the field to loud cheers. La Russa was greeted warmly despite a drunken-driven arrest earlier last month in Florida. The cars passed the World Series trophy that sat near home plate.
The Budweiser Clydesdales circled the field prior to the game, a tradition unique to St. Louis, home of Anheuser-Busch, which once owned the team.
"We try to downplay what happened last year and we're going to go out and approach them like any other team," first baseman Carlos Delgado said before the game.
Pre-game entertainment was an eclectic mix that included actor Billy Bob Thornton, who grew up a Cardinals fan in Arkansas, serving as co-encue along with Cardinals broadcaster John Rooney; and '70s rockers REO Speedwagon signing the national anthem.
One thing missing from Sunday's ceremony was the handing out of World Series rings. After an off day Monday, the Cardinals get their rings Tuesday — fans also get replica rings.
All the while, a few Mets — who lost in seven games to the Cardinals in the NLCS — mostly seemed to ignore the festivities. A few jogged in the outfield or stretched.
La Russa, entering his 12th season in St. Louis, said the adoration is nice, but it's time to get down to the business of trying to repeat. La Russa and Sparky Anderson are the only managers to win titles in both leagues.
above the left-center field stands.
"There's nothing wrong with enjoying the banner and then the rings, but those all happen before the game," La Russa said. "Then you just switch it off and concentrate on '07."

ENTERTAINMENT Blades of Glory' scores big in box office this weekend
ENTERTAINMENT
BOX GLEES — Stars-on-ice Will Ferrell and Jon Heder took the box office gold for the weekend.
Paramount and DreamWorks" "Blades of Glory," with Ferrell and Heder playing figure-skating rivals who become the sport's first men's pair, debuted as the No.1 movie with $33 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Disney's animated adventure "Meet the Robinsonson," about the time-traveling journey of a brilliant but lonely orphan, debuted in second place with $25.1 million.
The previous weekend's top movie — the Warner Bros. animated tale "TMNT," a revival of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle" franchise — slipped to fourth place with $9.2 million, down a steep 62 percent from its $24.3 million debut. "TMNT" raised its 10-day total to $38.4 million.
After a monthlong surge, the overall box office declined. The top 12 movies took in $115 million, down 13 percent from the same weekend last year, when "Ice Age: The Meltdown" opened with $68 million.
"This is still a good weekend, a pretty healthy one-two punch with 'Blades of Glory' and 'Meet the robinson's at the top,' said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-
office tracker Media By Numbers.

Ferrell scored the second-best
opening of his career, behind last
summer's "Talladge Nights: The
Ballad of Ricky Bobby," which took
in $47 million in its first weekend.
Movie attendance is up 4 percent this year, Dergarabedian said.
"It starts with a great concept, and the whole picture was cast so well," said DreamWorks spokesman Marvin Levy. "Another part of the surprise was, we got a ton of very, very good reviews."
"Meet the Robinsons" played in about 3,400 theaters and did especially well in a 3-D version at 600 cinemas, said Chuck Viane, head of distribution for Disney.

Oden wants to fit in, enjoys campus life
BY TIM DAHLBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — It's hard to escape attention when you're the center of attention.
On campus, Greg Oden literally sticks out in a room of 600 freshmen attending a biology lecture. At the Easton Town Center in Columbus, Ohio, people chuckle as they watch him try to scrunch his lanky frame into a go-cart.
On Sunday, it was Oden chuckling as he talked about the time he boogied to the dancing machine at the GameWorks in the mall.
"It was a bilious sight," Oden said. "I built up a crowd."
The center of attention is used to attention by now. People have been watching ever since he started growing quickly and picked up a basketball in Indianapolis.
He's 19 now and plays basketball for a living. At least people think he's already playing basketball for a living.
The center of attention is actually the center for Ohio State, which plays Florida for the national championship Monday night. He gets tuition, books, meal money and the opportunity to be as normal a man about campus as your average 7-footer who can dunk from 10 feet out.
It doesn't make much sense to come back. Not when Oden can make himself rich instead of helping enrich his university.
The center of attention is about ready to finish a one-year apprenticeship for the NBA before signing for untold millions. Or at least that's what people who pay attention to these kind of things are figuring.
The center himself says he's discovered he likes school and enjoys being on campus.
BY EDDIE PELLS ASSOCIATED PRESS
"I'm pretty sure they wouldn't let me in," he said, "because some guy would say, "That's Greg Oden."
He wants to fit in, doesn't want anyone paying attention. But this is one freshmen who can't join fellow students trying to sneak into nearby bars.
Oden won't likely match up directly with Florida's flamboyant Joakim Noah in Monday's final, but the contrast between the two big men couldn't be more stark.
Some think the center of attention could eventually become one of the best basketball players ever. He watches videos of all the low-post players and tries to copy things Bill Russell, Kevin McHale and Kareem Abdul-labbar used to do.
"I think my mom wouldn't like me acting like that," he said. "She taught me better."
The center of attention would be
herrited with that kind of attention.
Noah flies up and down the court with his bushy ponytail flopping up and down. He blows kisses at cheer-leaders, pumps his chest with his fists and screams after blocks and dunks.
ATLANTA — It's no accident that they are meeting again for a championship, Calling it pure coincidence might not be totally right, either.
Florida and Ohio State are dominating marquee college sports like no two programs ever have. Their meeting Monday for the basketball title comes three months after they played for the football championship. Regardless of the outcome, the Gators already go down as the first program to hold the men's basketball and football titles at the same time.
The programs are products of two mega-sized athletic departments awash in money, fan support, strong decision makers at the top and good coaches interspersed throughout their respective campuses.
"When you have resources, that usually means you have the wherewithal to have good facilities," said Chuck Neinas, the well-respected leader of a search firm that finds football coaches and athletic directors for big-time programs. "You build a tradition of success that attracts talent, and that allows you to pay for good coaches."
Though the schools operate in different sections of the country, these power programs have more things in common than not. Most notably, these are — or at least once were — schools where football was king.
Nothing against the basketball programs, but success in football drives success in everything else at most universities. It's the sheer fact of numbers. With the exceptions of a few elite basketball programs,
there's simply more money to be made by filling 105,000 seats in the Horseshoe, or 90,000 at the Swamp, than by filling a basketball arena one-fifth their size.
"The correlation between 105,000 people on a Saturday afternoon in the Shoe definitely helps all programs," Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. "I think it's helped us through the recruiting process. The notoriety of the football program is something we try to work hand-in-hand with."
Thanks in large part to revenue from the football program, Ohio State led the NCAA in revenue last year, bringing
gram is terrific. As I said earlier, I think where there's problems on campuses with coaches is when all the focus is totally just on one sport."
The days of basketball coaches defending their programs' status on these campuses are long gone. Instead, they bask in the football teams, taking recruits to games and bringing those coaches in for motivational speeches to their teams.
"My goal is not to make Ohio State a basketball school. I think my goal is to make it the best basketball program that we can."
And Matta: "My goal is not to make Ohio State a basketball school. I think my goal is to make it the best basketball program that we possibly can."
in nearly $105 million, Florida brought in $78 million. Both programs made enough money that they were able to donate to their schools instead of having the school supplement them.
Harmony aside, this isn't to say these programs are perfect. It's

Ohio State basketball coach
The OSU football program has moved from the Maurice Clarett imbroglio. The star of the 2002
national championship team, Clarett created problems while he was in school by accusing administrators of not caring about him and caused even more drama afterward when he lied about receiving thousands of dollars in improper benefits.
In basketball, Matta was hired to clean up the program after former coach Jim O'Brien was fired for giving $6,000 to a recruit, which helped land the Buckeyes on probation.
The probes led to the departure of embattled athletic director Andy
Geiger, who said he was burned out from all the turmoil. Despite that, he laid much of the groundwork for the current success, and his replacement, Gene Smith, has overseen a transition for what is largely regarded as the country's biggest athletic department.
"Certainly, youd have to put Jeremy Foley and Gene Smith in the finalists of the most respected athletic directors in country," Neinas said.
Foley runs a department that is not so lovingly known by some as "The Firm," for its dispassionate ability to make problems go away.
For all the money and success these programs have generated, the trips to the title games aren't big money makers, but it will be hard to call either of these schools losers.
Starters give Florida opportunity for history
BY JIM LITKE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Most kids think the world began when they started watching TV.
Few would argue that if Florida successfully defends its national championship against Ohio State, the Gators belong among college basketball's all-time best. Who else belongs on that list?
When we asked Monday night's starters, only one named a team that dominated before they were born.
"I'll go with whichever UCLA team won the 88 games in a row," Florida's Lep Humphrey said.
That wasn't a single team, obviously, which raises an essential point in the debate.
Just getting in position to repeat is tougher than ever. That's in large part because the exodus of top players that began with Kevin Garnett leap-frogging college to the pros in 1995 has made keeping a team together a difficult-enough task by itself. The NBA age minimum adopted in 2005 has made it easier, but not much.
UCLA won seven consecutive titles from 1967-73, then was beaten at the Final Four the following year by North Carolina State — just months after Notre Dame ended the 88-game winning streak. Since then, four teams have returned to the title game with a chance to repeat. Only the 1992 Duke team boasting future pros Grant Hill, Christian Laetner and Bobby Hurley pulled it off.
The big reason the Gators are even in position is because all five starters returned, including potential NBA first-round picks Al Horford, Joakim Noah and Corey Brewer. No team wins without great players, but not every player in college becomes an NBA star. One measure of how unique that is these days came when someone asked Ohio State coach Thad Matta how long it would be before it might happen again.
"Hopefully," Matta deadpanned,
"next year."

Goalposts and paperless basketball tickets were topics of discussion at the Student Athlete Advisory Committee debate last night between Student Senate presidential and vice presidential candidates.
Candidates representing the Delta Force, United Students and Students Rights coalitions participated in the question and answer session.
The debate, open only to student athletes, gave candidates the chance to address their platforms specifically to student athlete needs.
Chelsey Pryor, Washington, Penn., senior and Student Athlete Advisory Committee senator, said the debate helped SAAC endorse the best presidential and vice presidential candidates. SAAC will announce its endorsement decision later in the week.

Some students forgo apartments for homes
BY ALLIE WILMES
Finding a place to live can be a sticky situation in Lawrence. With a high demand for housing, many students struggle finding somewhere to call home.
Including roommates, utilities and environment, students have a lot to consider before settling on an apartment or house. Many students find apartments, but for others that isn't an option.
Availability can be a problem for househunting students. For this reason, many students end up buying a house instead of renting.
Buying a house is one investment opportunity for students.
"I thought buying a house was a better investment than renting. Lawrence has great property value," said Jill Johnson, mother of a Basehor, Kan., student.
The KU Department of Student Housing and local apartment complexes such as Legends, 4100 W.24th St.,and
Highpointe, 2001 W. 6th St., come with paid utilities and maintenance. But homeowners are in charge of the upkeep of their property. Upkeep can include anything from roofing to painting and plumbing to landscaping. Jacolby Watts, Hiawatha transfer student, said she didn't mind doing the chores, though.
"I don't mind taking out the trash, mowing the lawn, or even painting instead of paying somebody else to do it for me," she said.
"I like the idea of owning my own house. There aren't any rules like there are at apartments. The only thing I miss that people living in apartments have is the security, pools and recreational centers," Watts said.
Johnson said one important issue was getting a good location.

Choice of roommate decides tone of home
BY JASON BAKER
When it comes to choosing living arrangements for the upcoming school year, the most important issue isn't just deciding on a location, it can be deciding on a roommate. Picking out a roommate may not appear to be a big decision, but it is because you are essentially sharing living space and other items with the person or people you chose to live with. But if you're not careful it can lead to roommate conflicts and friendship-ending fights.
"It is usually much easier and more effective to discuss potential areas of conflict in advance and come to a mutual agreement through negotiating," he said. Wade also believes that common topics can range from guidelines of cleaning

attest to this. His sophomore year, he lived with some friends at LeannaMar Townhomes, 4501 Wimbeldon Dr.
"I lived with some friends from the dorms not realizing just how lazy and how much of a slob the one guy was, and it led to greater conflicts," Olivarez said. He remembers one time when his roommates decided to play with some of his things in his room while he was gone. He blew up at his roommate and it got so heated
that they almost got into a fight on their back patio. Eventually Olivarez's roommate moved out.

hang out all the time, but I figured that we were both in college and it was time to split off and meet new people," Rowe said. She and her roommate were not the conflict type and they usually kept their issues quiet, but everything that had built up came up when her roommate's parents came to help move her out. Rowe eventually moved to another residence hall at the end of the semester.
Wade said the best way to solve problems is to anticipate them.
"Before moving in with someone, talk openly about your expectations, and be willing to negotiate and compromise. Be clear about areas where you are not willing to compromise," he said.
If problems do occur, Wade gives a brochure on the CAPS Web site, www.caps. ku.edu/selfhelp/diffpeople2.shtml.
The brochure offers tips on identifying problems among roommates and gives solutions on how to handle the matters that come up. Both Olivarez and Rowe thought they could redo their roommate situations.
"I probably would've tried to talk to her more about it. At least keep the communication lines open, that probably would've made the whole situation better," Rowe said.
Oliverez said that problems will come
up inevitably.
"I would try and control my temper to maybe be a little more diplomatic in my approach to dealing with my roommates. While there have been plenty of conflicts they all provide an opportunity to learn, mature and move on with more knowledge than you started with. And if all else fails, you can always turn up the heat in the oven," Olivarez said.

Think about bills before moving in
BY LINDSAY IGNATOWSKI
It's move-in day. You've chosen your roommates,paid your deposit and scoured garage sales for furniture you can afford.
You pick up your shiny new key, unlock the door, step into your own place for the very first time, hit the light switch and realize: you have no electricity. Or water. Or cable.
With all the excitement and stress of finding and moving into a new place, it can be difficult to keep straight all
that must happen before move-in day, but setting up utilities beforehand is of utmost importance. In fact, some apartment complexes, such as Orchard Corners,
1405 Apple Lane, require tenants to provide confirmation numbers showing they have switched all utilities into their own names before the complex will allow them to move in. Others complexes, such as
It is important not to wait until the day or two before moving to call utility companies. Additionally, some companies may require a security deposit up front.
Parkway Commons, 3601 Clinton Parkway require future residents to sign a utilities sheet indicating that they will take responsibility for the utilities when they sign the lease and then to simply furnish the confirmation numbers when they are ready.
First, tenants must determine which utilities they will be responsible for. Some landlords, such as Cedarwood Apartments,

2411 Cedarwood Avenue, pay for utilities such as trash and water, but other complexes require tenants to pay for trash, water, electricity and gas. Additionally, residents must pay for internet, cable and telephone connections if they choose these optional services. When calling, residents should say that they wish to have the utilities transferred to their name and should be prepared to provide their new address as well as the move-in date.
It is also important not to wait until the day or two before moving to call utility companies. Cindy Haff, customer service supervisor for Lawrence Utility Billing, said customers needed to transfer service as early as possible because the company was unable to guarantee the chosen date to start service.
She recommends contacting the utility companies at least thirty days in advance and said transferring service online was the preferred method and was less time-consuming than doing so by phone
"Usually August first gets filled up by the middle of June," she said.
At Crosswinds Apartments, 2130 Silicon Ave. tenants are responsible for all utilities. Residents typically pay about $100 a month for water, trash, electricity and gas in a two-bedroom apartment, provided
they don't use a washer and dryer. The management of Cedarwood Apartments, which pays for water and trash, estimates the cost is about the same for their tenants as well. Additionally, some companies may require a security deposit up front. The city of Lawrence, for example, requires a fortydollar deposit for trash and water service.

Another option is to choose an apartment in which the management covers all bills, such as The Legends, 4101 W. 24th Place. The cost of electricity, water, trash, cable and internet are included in the rent and residents write a single check to management to pay for both rent and utilities. The charge for utilities ranges from $75 to $90 per person, depending on the size of the apartment. Residents
can add telephone service as well. Diane Kalinowski, manager of The Legends, said that even though the management pays the bills, the tenants still control the temperature of their apartments and that the complex provides a standard 40-gallon hot-water heater.

the bill on time each month. However, it is possible to make notes on the system of the other roommates' names and information so that they can make changes on the account as well. To do this, the roommates must provide their social security numbers to the company or know the last four digits of the account holder's social security number.
If bills are not paid in full and on time,
it can negatively affect the residents' credit, but "it will mainly show up on the person whose name is on the account," says Haff. Such delinquencies can lead to higher security deposits for utilities when residents move or if a resident with bad credit moves to a new state, utility companies may require a letter of credit before starting service.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
MONDAY, APRIL 2, 2007
TO DO LIST: APARTMENT PREPARATIONS Use this handy guide to work out the details of your living space
1. Rent: Before moving in, talk with your roommates and decide how rent will be paid. Consider if one roommate will pay more because of a larger bedroom and decide a deadline for payments, which person will collect the money and what to do if one roommate can't pay one month.
Notes.
2. Furniture: A bedroom, living room and dining room is a lot of space to fill, so make sure you talk with your roommates before moving in to decide who is bringing what furniture. Some furniture might be too big for your space, so measure your furniture to ensure that it's not too much.
Notes.
3. Utilities: Call utility companies before moving in (see page 10 for more details.) Decide how you and your roommates will pay the utilities: Should each roommate pay one bill or should you combine the costs and split it?
Notes.
4. Food: Decide how you will buy or handle food. Discuss whether you will collectively use the pantry and refrigerator, have separate shelves or keep personal food in a private refrigerator. Notes.
5. Parking: Talk to your rental company and find out if there are any parking restrictions, how many spots you get per apartment and if you need a parking pass. Find out if all your roommates have cars.
Notes.
6. Boundaries:
Discuss each roommate's living preferences. Maybe one person likes to study with music on. Maybe another likes to sleep with the TV as background noise. Talking about these situations now will avoid tense situations in the future.
Notes.
7. Pet Requirements: Find out if your roommates have pets or want pets. If you have a pet, talk to your rental company about their restrictions regarding size and type of pets. Notes.

CITY COMMISSION
BY MATT ERICKSON
It prohibited indoor smoking in almost all public places in Lawrence. It's the reason that more than three unrelated people cannot live together in some areas of the city. During the next few years, it may give students easier ways to get to campus and may impose more regulations on landlords.
It is the city commission, and voters will choose its new lineup today. But history suggests that University students will do little about it.
Student voting rates have lagged behind the general Lawrence population in the last two city commission elections. In February's city
Grant Snider/KANSAN
commission primary, students voted in dismally low numbers.
Douglas County cannot measure precisely how many University students vote, but Keith Campbell, county deputy of elections, said the county's data about 18- to 24-yearold voters allowed for guesses about student voting.
The 10 Lawrence precincts that currently have the highest percentage of 18- to 24-year-old registered voters all had voting rates below the county average in the 2003 and 2005 commission elections. These precincts are all located near the University campus.
In Precinct 10, which includes the Daisy Hill residence halls, nearly 80 percent of registered voters
are 18- to 24-years old. Campbell said Precinct 10 regularly has the county's lowest voting rate in local elections.
The Preticinct 10 voting site closed early on the day of the February primary because only five of its nearly 2,000 registered voters showed up, Campbell said.
Katie Loyd, Lawrence junior, has made an effort to educate students about the city commission race in her role as Student Senate community affairs director. She prepared biographies of the candidates, which are available at studentsenate. ku edu.

University, City celebrate Pride Week
BY TYLER HARBERT
On any other day, couples making out on Wescoe Beach may have been advised to get a room.
Queers and Allies director Jonathan Pryor, Columbus, Kan., senior, and boyfriend and Queens & Allies events chair, David Ta. Wichita senior, participate in the kiss-in on Wescoe Beach yesterday morning during Lawrence Pride Week. "We decided to do it to bring visibility to the gay community and to show gay people exist and are on campus," Ta said.
But sloppy kisses and loving embraces Monday were part of Queers and Allies Kiss- In event, one of 10 events celebrating Lawrence Pride Week at the University.
Only two couples locked lip on and off, but Jonathan Pryor, Columbus, Kan., senior and director of Queers and Allies, said making out with his boyfriend David Ta, Wichita senior and Queens and Allies events chair, was a demonstration to promote visibility of the
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community
"Even if it's just two couples, it's activism," Pryor said. "It's no different than straight people holding hands walking down the street."

Debate covers athletics issues
BY ASHLEE KIELER
Goalposts and paperless basketball tickets were topics of discussion at the Student Athlete Advisory Committee debate last night between Student Senate presidential and vice presidential candidates.
Candidates representing the Delta Force, United Students and Students' Rights coalitions participated in the question and answer session.
The debate, open only to student athletes, gave candidates the chance to address their platforms specifically to student athlete needs.
Chelsey Pryor, Washington Penn., senior and Student Athlete Advisory Committee senator, said the debate helped SAAC endorse the best presidential and vice presidential candidates. SAAC will announce its endorsement decision later in the week.
Caitlin Ballard, vicepresidential candidate for Students' Rights said implementing new traditions —such as postgame events after football games could deter students from tearing down the goalposts.
Student athletes addressed their concern for safety after football games when goalposts are torn down.

》 CONSTRUCTION
BY JOE HUNT
Roof repairs expected to finish before fall semester
Roof repairs at the University of Kansas that have been ongoing since the microburst March 12 of last year are expected to be completed by the end of summer.
So far repairs have been completed on about 20 campus buildings. Buildings that still need repairs include Spooner Hall, Dyche Hall, Bailey Hall, Haworth Hall, Summerfield Hall, Learned Hall, Allen Fieldhouse, Strong Hall and Stauffer-Flint Hall. The overall cost for roof repairs should total six million dollars.
Mark Reiske, associate director of Design and Construction Management, said repairing the roofs was a long process. First, contractors had to be hired to do the repairs. Then roofing tiles had to be ordered, some of which took six months to arrive. Further delays were caused because Spooner Hall, Bailey Hall and Dyche Hall are considered historical buildings and repairs to those had to be approved by the State Historical Society. The sheer number of buildings was another problem.
"Just doing one roof is probably a six to seven month process." Reiske said. "But instead of doing one we're doing a huge number of roofs."
To prevent water leakage, repair crews initially outfitted all damaged roofs with temporary roofs within two months of the microburst. Because the temporary roofs did not have excessive amounts of leaks, repair work on some buildings was delayed until after winter.
Gary Brown, a roofer for Facilities Operations, said that temporary roofs were like covers over the existing damaged roofs. When the permanent roofs are installed, the temporary and damaged roofs will have to be replaced.
"We're just buying time, trying to keep the roof dry." Brown said.
But buildings such as Strong Hall still suffer leaks.
Mark Lohmeyer is on staff at the budget office in Strong Hall and he has caught water in trash cans to avoid puddles on the floor. Luckily, there has been no significant damage to the office.

Sierra Club sues power company

BY DAVID TWIDDY ASSOCIATED PRESS
a March 2 letter from the department.
An environmental group on Monday filed a lawsuit against the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, demanding that the department hold a formal hearing on a controversial coal-fired power plant near Holcomb.
The Sierra Club, which filed the suit in Shawnee County District Court, said it asked for a "quasi-judicial hearing" in February so it could challenge parts of Sunflower Electric Power Corp.'s application for a permit to add three 700-megawatt units to its existing 350-megawatt plant.
The Hays-based company wants the department to declare that the project would meet all applicable standards for controlling air pollution. KDHE is still reviewing hundreds of pages of comments about the project, spokesman Joe Blubaugh said.
It says that request was denied in
He said the department's legal staff wasn't available to comment on the lawsuit.
Sierra Club members claim the plant will worsen air pollution in the region while the company plans to sell the majority of the plant's generated energy to utilities outside the state.

Treating the Sick
U.S. MARINE AND PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES
The U.S. Marine Department has a 1970s clinical trial studied by dental and hearing specialists to treat patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The study, conducted in 1973, assessed the effects of a combination of oral care and chemotherapy on AML patients. The study was designed to identify the most effective treatment for AML patients.
Treating the Sick
DISTRICT: WORLD & SUPPORT STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE
Although America once required to receive and administer AML treatments, many states no longer mandated these therapies. Public health officials now advocate that federal agencies should provide treatment to AML patients.
The role of federal agencies is to provide medical care to AML patients and support their recovery. Federal agencies also work to prevent the spread of AML through social media and other channels.
Treating the Sick

Ellis Island was the gateway to America for more than 12 million immigrants. As many as 5,000 people passed through the processing center a day at its peak in the early 1900s. The first of several buildings close to the Statue of Liberty reopened Monday after they were restored.

ODD NEWS Daredevil clown reunited with his tiny bike
NEW YORK — Bello Nock, the daredevil clown, was all smiles Sunday when he was reunited with his lost little bike.
The star of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus thanked Ricky Robinson, who found Bello's shiny foot-high, 6-
inch-wide contraption Friday night outside a restaurant on Manhattan's West Side.
"Give me a hug. I need my bike.
That is my bike. Thank you, buddy."
Bello said, outside Madison Square Garden, where the circus was performing.
Without the bike, the man once named "America's Best Clown" by Time magazine would have had to adjust his show.
ST. LOUIS — A 21-year-old man charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of a police sergeant made a stunning and unexpected admission at his trial.

was in a "trance" when he did it, the St. Louis Post-Disp reported.
Johnson of the St. Louis suburb, Kirkwood, faces the death penalty. He had previously denied committing the crime and entered a plea of not guilty.
But on Saturday, he testified, "I just shot him. I don't know why."
McEntee was shot at close range through the passenger window of his stopped patrol car.

"My priorities will remain building strong neighborhood and making sure

that we adopt a code of traditional neighborhood design.
WOULD YOU SUPPORT EXPANDING THE CITY'S RENTAL REGISTRATION PROGRAM TO ALL RENTAL PROPERTIES
PROPERTIES?
"Yes. This will provide even stronger protections for students and others who rent houses and apartments."
WHAT MORE SHOULD THE CITY DO TO KEEP DOWNTOWNT SAFE?
"I think we need to continue to strictly enforce the ordinance prohibiting people from having guns near bars."
WHAT OTHER ISSUES ON YOUR PLATFORM SHOULD STUDENTS CARE ABOUT?
"I want to make sure that we are a leader in resource conservation and environmental protection. I want to continue to build strong neighborhoods, and every student who doesn't live on campus lives in a neighborhood. And I want to make Lawrence safer for people who bike and walk."

WHAT WILL BE YOUR PRIORITIES IF YOU'RE RE-ELECTED?
"Iinfrastructure and jobs. We need to continue to work on repairing a backlog of broken infrastructure, and we need to work on making our farmland property our employment gateway to our Johnson County friends to the east."
WOULD YOU SUPPORT EXPANDING THE CITY'S RENTAL REGISTRATION PROGRAM TO ALL RENTAL
"Yes, I would. I think for some of the new apartments, we don't need to inspect every one of them, but much of the rental properties people are living in, including students, don't have fire extinguishers and other safety measures."
WHAT MORE SHOULD THE CITY DO TO KEEP DOWNTOWNE SAFE?
The city commission general election is today. Six candidates two incumbents and four newcomers are competing for three seats.
"I think we need to license those businesses that have an occupancy of more than a couple of hundred people and monitor what's going on in those businesses. We have an obligation to make sure that those places are safe places for people to go."
WHAT OTHER ISSUES ON YOUR PLATFORM SHOULD STUDENTS CARE ABOUT?
"I've supported creating a domestic registry in Lawrence. I think it's something whose time has come. I think it's the next step in the recognition that not everybody lives the same lifestyle. I also think rental registration is important. Students ought to have a safe place to live."

WOULD YOU SUPPORT EXPANDING THE CITY'S RENTAL REGISTRATION PROGRAM TO ALL RENTAL
PROPERTIES?
"I have considered this issue a great deal and discussed it often, and my answer is that I would consider expanding the rental registration program to include all rental properties."
WHAT MORE SHOULD THE CITY
DO TO KEEP DOWNTOWN SAFE?
"I believe we may be approaching the degree of 'urban myth' to presume downtown is not safe. I would increase police presence during the hours patrons arrive rather than focusing all attention on when they leave, and press for the enactment and enforcement of stricter gun laws."
WHAT OTHER ISSUES ON YOUR PLATFORM SHOULD STUDENTS CARE ABOUT?
"I suspect students do care about my primary platform of job creation, economic development and lower taxes. In addition to these issues, I support the completion of the South Lawrence Trafficway, continued strengthening of downtown Lawrence and returning the city commission's focus to local issues."
ROB CHESTNUT, NEWCOMER
WHAT WILL BE YOUR PRIORITIES IF YOU'RE ELECTED?
"Establish a long-term economic

development plan between the city commission, county commission and Chamber of Commerce. Work with the other commissioners and the city staff on ideas for clarifying the planning process. The commission needs to review the budget process in 2008 and beyond to look for opportunities for better cost management."
Chestnut
WOULD YOU SUPPORT EXPANDING THE CITY'S RENTAL REGISTRATION PROGRAM TO ALL RENTAL PROPERTIES?
"Code enforcement is essential, and I would first review the effectiveness of the complaint-based system now in place. As a commissioner, I want to see a draft of the expanded program to see how it would improve enforcement and ensure it can be funded properly in the budget."
WHAT MORE SHOULD THE CITY DO TO KEEP DOWNTOWN SAFE?
"Law enforcement is going to need a larger presence in downtown. In particular, police need to be seen during the earlier part of the evening as many of the venues start to get busy."
WHAT OTHER ISSUES ON YOUR PLATFORM SHOULD STUDENTS CARE ABOUT?
MIKE DEVER, NEWCOMER
"The local job market has not grown over the last five years. This has an adverse impact on opportunities for students. Rapidly increasing property taxes are having a direct impact on the cost of renting in Lawrence for students."
WHAT WILL BE YOUR PRIORITIES IF YOU'RE
ELECTED?
MICHAEL
"My first priority would be to identify all the commission items that have been put on the agenda to this point and
Dever
to move those processes forward. I think the second one for me would be to bring some new ideas and concepts towards embracing the growth of local businesses, and removing some of the pitfalls we have now, to do everything in our power to create a more business-oriented commission. This equates to job growth. And then, take a good, hard look at infrastructure."
WOULD YOU SUPPORT EXPAND-
ING THE CITY'S RENTAL REGISTRIA-
TION PROGRAM TO ALL RENTAL
PROPERTIES?
"I don't have enough information to answer yes or no, but I'm a little hesitant, because I'm worried about expanding the city's ability to just walk into residences to inspect without a complaint from a third party. I think it gives the city an overwhelming authority to go into something that should be private, and they will be slapping a fee onto all landlords to do that."
WHAT MORE SHOULD THE CITY DO TO KEEP DOWNTOWN SAFE?
"A stepped-up police presence downtown would dramatically affect the safety downtown."
WHAT OTHER ISSUES ON YOUR PLATFORM SHOULD STUDENTS CARE ABOUT?
"One of my major goals is to allow people to shop locally in Lawrence. I'm interested in doing whatever I can to evaluate the bus system. Anything we can do to synchronize the operations of KU on Wheels and the Lawrence Transit System
would benefit students dramatically. I would also like to champion the expansion of wireless Internet accessibility."

"I will exercise fiscal responsibility as I work on the budget. I will work to promote personal safety downtown as well as shape

WOULD YOU SUPPORT EXPANDING THE CITY'S RENTAL REGISTRATION PROGRAM TO ALL RENTAL PROPERTIES?
"I have not had time to study this issue enough. I look forward to doing that if elected."
WHAT MORE SHOULD THE CITY
DO TO KEEP DOWNTOWN SAFE?
"Increase police presence — on foot and bicycle — in the downtown after 10 p.m."
WHAT OTHER ISSUES ON YOUR PLATFORM SHOULD STUDENTS CARE ABOUT?
"This election is particularly important because students are the generation that stands to inherit this unstable planet Earth. The global climate change is impacted by decisions all city governments make collectively. Students should care about the stability of the planet they will inherit. I have made the environment a big issue in this election."

CHRISTIAN PEACE WITNESS
NO WAR IN DRAO
NOT IN OUR NAMES
Marla Keown/KANSAN
The Ecumenical Christian Ministries has reserved the Danforth Chapel for every Monday in April to hold vigils to reflect on the Iraq war.
Weekly vigils honor troops killed in Iraq
BY TYLER HARBERT
Noon was a solemn time Monday for members of the Christian Peace Witness for Iraq to reflect on the ongoing war.
Tim Stauffer, Iola senior, worked with the Student Leadership team and the Ecumenical Christian Ministries to reserve the Danforth Chapel every Monday at noon in April for quiet vigils.
"We've all been frustrated by the complicity shown by the Christian community regarding the war," he said.
Though sponsored by a Christian organization, Stauffer said the vigil was open to people of all faiths or no faith to honor those who have died in the Iraq War.
Inside the chapel, a small stereo played worship music and a nylon net was strung up at the front of the chapel. Stauffer said people were invited to tie black cloth ribbons on the net as a tribute to the dead.
"it's a tangible way of marking a memory of a person," he said.
As people came and went from the chapel, they were also invited to sign a 16-foot banner in front of the chapel that read, "NO WAR IN IRAQ; NOT IN OUR NAMES."
Stauffer said the banner was created four years ago at the start of the Iraq War. He said more than 40 people signed the banner Monday and it already contained a couple hundred signatures from past events.
Chris Cardwell, Lincoln, Kan. senior, was one person who signed his name to the banner yesterday on his way to French class.
"I'm so sick of the war and I was opposed to it when it first started," he said. "People have become numb to it."
He said seeing the numbers of those dead and injured in Iraq was a good way promote anti-war sentiments.
"People made passing jokes when this war first started about it being our generation's Vietnam," Cardwell said. "Four years from now the joke won't be funny anymore."
Elise Higgins, Topeka freshman and member of the Student Leadership team, helped organize the peace vigil and spent about five minutes in the chapel thinking about how her faith coincided with her need for political action.
"It was reflection on how important it is for us to be involved even in a small way," she said. "I think this atmosphere isn't coercive and it's inviting."
Beth Ruhl, Lawrence senior, also helped plan the vigil. She said she was motivated to help with the vigil after she protested in the Christian Peace Witness for Iraq in Washington, D.C., on March 16.
"Even if people disagree with us, wed like to talk with them because dialogue is important to us," she said.
Stauffer said the group didn't have an agenda.
"We just ask people to reexamine what they believe and why," he said.

ISSUES TO COME
Rental registration: This summer, the commission will consider whether to require all rental properties in the city to obtain licenses and submit to regular safety inspections. Currently, this requirement applies only to rental properties zoned as single-family, which does not apply to most rental properties in Lawrence.

make sure the city listened to their concerns.
The plan, passed Monday by the state House, would take effect only if states representing a majority of the nation's 538 electoral votes adopted the same change.
to undo electoral system ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland is poised to become the first state to approve giving its electoral votes for president to the winner of the national popular vote, rather than to the candidate chosen by state voters.
Some states are considering the move as a way to avoid a scenario in which a candidate wins the national popular vote but loses in the Electoral College, as Democrat AI Gore lost to George W. Bush in 2000.
Downtown safety: The commission continues to study ways to prevent violence downtown. Possibilities include increasing police presence downtown or an entertainment licensing system, which would give more responsibility to business owners to prevent violence.
Supporters of the Maryland bill said the state, which has 10 electoral votes, gets passed over by presidential candidates who head to larger battleground states. Opponents say the change is unnecessary and constitutionally questionable.
"If you're talking about development and whether to put a Wal-Mart on the west side of town or not, I don't think that's relevant to most people's lives," he said.
City commissioner David Schauner, who is running for reelection today, said he probably wouldn't pay much attention to city politics if he were a student.
VOTING (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
She said the city's noise ordinance, transportation system and property taxes were all issues that could have implications for students.
The final vote in the Democrat-controlled House of Delegates was 85-54, with only one Republican endorsing it. The Senate has already passed the bill, and Gov. Martin O'Malley, a Democrat, plans to sign it, said spokesman Rick Abbruzzese.
Bus coordination:The city and the University will consider merging or overlapping the KU on Wheels and Lawrence Transit System bus lines, which could make it easier for some students to get to campus.

Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, said many of the issues in this year's election probably weren't very interesting or important for students, though.
Delegate Jon Cardin argued that the measure would make Maryland more relevant in the presidential campaign.

ISSUES TO COME
"Most students are more interested in just being students," he said.
He said students who paid attention could find issues they might care about, such as rental property registration and a proposed domestic partner registry for same-sex couples.
Candidate Carey Maynard-Moody said all students would have to choose whether to become involved in their communities some day after they graduated, and she said participating in city government could provide a good introduction to community leadership.
Public smoking ordinance, 2004 The commission banned smoking in all enclosed public places in Lawrence, by a 4-1 vote.
Guns near bars, 2006:The commission unanimously decided to prohibit the possession of firearms within 200 feet of the premises of drinking establishments.
Several city commission decisions in recent years have made a difference in students' lives in Lawrence, and the new commission elected today will also address issues important to students.

Single-family home ordinance, 2001: The commission voted unanimously to prohibit more than three unrelated people from living together in homes zoned as single-family.

"Studying should be what students do best," Maynard-Moody said, "and studying candidates' platforms and voting in this election will serve students well later on."
ROOFS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"We're real pleased with Facilities Operations and their response," Lohmeyer said. "It seems to be a high priority."
Despite those problems, most temporary roofs did not have excessive amounts of leaks, so repair work on some buildings was delayed until after winter. Bailey Hall will not be repaired until summer because of traffic concerns on Jayhawk Boulevard, and the tile for the roof on Dyche Hall has not arrived yet.
Kansan staff writer Joe Hunt can be contacted at jhunt@kansan. com.
James Modig, director of design construction and management, said that the most extensive repairs went to Robinson Gymnasium and Frasier Hall.
Allen Fieldhouse will need extensive repairs as well. Modig said the roof was leaking and the entire metal skin of the roof would need to be replaced during the summer.

PRIDE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
campaign is a project intended to stop organizations like the Fred Phelps church group from protesting funerals, said Ryan Campbell, Olathe senior and student senator for Queers and Allies.
Campbell said Queers and Allies has sold more than 100 T-shirts at $10 a piece in the past, and that he expects more to be sold at some of the upcoming pride week events.
Tonight at 7:30 is a lecture with sex columnist Dan Savage at
Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
"I've readsome of Dan Savage's stuff," Pryor said. "He's a very blunt guy and vulgar and I think he works well with a college crowd."
There will be a panel discussion at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union., presented by the Service Members Legal Defense Network regarding the, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" military policy. It will be followed by a social event at 10:30 p.m. at Liquid Bar and

Thursday at 6:30 p.m., the organization is sponsoring the Queen Awards Banquet at Macell's, 1031 New Hampshire St., which honors people who have contributed to the LGBT community in Lawrence.
Friday is the Brown Bag Drag in front of the Kansas Union at noon, and the week culminates with an AIDS walk, followed by a pride march on Massachusetts Street.

OUR VIEW
Heavy workload necessitates light, comedic entertainment
April and May bring to campuses everywhere the ritualistic crescendo of homework and tests, when the only thing more volatile than the weather is the workload of students. The sometimes Sisyphean burden can breed an attitude of gloom and despair, as the seemingly endless papers and quizzes render the ludic rites of spring an elusive dream.
It is during these times that students need an escapist route more than ever, an idyllic oasis of mental clarity far from the
bustle of Jayhawk Boulevard, and Hollywood's glamorous productions can often fill that void.
It is often said that art reflects society, and if we hold that to currently be true, things seem to be in bad shape. The last three Oscar winners for Best Picture featured prominently the themes of crime
and betrayal, racial conflict and violence, and Sophoclean euthanasia. Even more unsettling is the recent abundance of horror and suspense movies; the macabre narratives of these films provide anything but a placid afternoon in the theater.
So is this a case of art imitating life? Are we really so depressed and hopeless that we must resort to these films? Though we usually have no ax-wielding assailants or possessed dolls in our daily lives, we do have some problems. Tensions
in the Middle East continue to escalate. The wealth gap in our country grows wider every year. We had to sit through two national championships with the same insufferably boastful schools.
In times like these, the real world brings enough solemnity to our lives. When you seek out entertainment, why not look for something with a touch more levy? Life is serious enough as it is. Compounding it with slayings and supernatural attacks doesn't make
Older adults sometimes grumble that youth is wasted on the young, so make your time count. Your relatively carefree stay at a beautiful campus in a wonderful city will fly by faster than you expect.
your attitude toward finishing that paper any brighter. Consider a lighter selection the next time you spend your precious dollars on entertainment.
Take care this season to not get completely smothered by school. The occasional delay of a paper in
favor of a midday walk is not always sinful, nor is the sporadic mental vacation from your upcoming finals preparation.
Don't let your life imitate the currently desolate state of cinema. Our mental health needs more Ferrellesque comedy, not Craveneases horror.

》 COMMENTARY
Vacation stirs up building envy
Jealousy filled my eyes while visiting the University of Tulsa during spring break. I went with some friends to their fitness center during several weekday afternoons and I was amazed to find that I could get any weight bench or machine without having to wait.
Those of you who frequent the Student Recreation and Fitness Center here know that getting a free machine at this time can be about as easy as finding a parking space in downtown New York. One of my Tulsa friends elevated my envy even more by assuring me that fitness center there was hardly ever more crowded than when I visited.
Ours is a great university and academic expansion is a good thing to have, but when I look around campus right now, the most prominent construction project I find is a $3.5 million effort to build new offices on the Wescoe terraces.
The University of Tulsa enrolls only 4,125 students, about 16 percent of our enrollment, yet their recreation center is easily as good as ours.
tration. Even now, each one of us is paying back, with student fees, the Kansas Legislature loan that paid for the recreation center's construction.

OPINION@KANSAN.COM
True, Tulsa is a private university with a yearly cost of attendance of almost $30,000. At Kansas we charge in-state students an average of less than $10,000 per year. In light of this, I am not frustrated at finding our recreation center inferior; I just wish we had more space on campus dedicated solely to student use.
Coming back to my jealousy, one of the few buildings here at Kansas dedicated purely for students' enjoyment, the recreation center, was pushed forward by the students themselves, not University adminis-
For being the largest university in Kansas, there are few places strictly reserved for us students to hang out. I can list the main ones on my fingers: the recreation center, two main libraries, a few computer labs, and about three floors of the Union. The pool at Robinson Center, for instance, is open to regular students only 2 hours and 45 minutes each weekday.
As a University, we must find a balance between expansion for the sake of academic excellence and expansion for the sake of student enjoyment. The one major studentdirected construction on campus during the past few years, the recreation center, had to be pushed through and paid for by students themselves. Being competitive academically is important, but we can't forget that the main focus of college should be the students themselves — not the aura of a prestigious university.

An open letter to a coffee bean:
Lover,
Ode to coffee: A steamy love affair
I miss you. I know it has been a long time since I've seen you and I'm sorry that this is my first attempt to call or write. But let me explain myself. If you only knew the anguish and regret I felt on that awful day when I came home from spring break to find that my roommate had killed our dear friend, Mr. Coffee.
He was murdered. It was an awful sight. He looked so peaceful sitting on the counter, as if he were sleeping. And though we think his little electric heart tries to beat, he's lost all higher-functioning percolation activity.
BY BRIAN ERVIN
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
I'd make the drive to Target so I could see you again but University paychecks don't come out until Friday and you know we're in a pinch these days.
I miss your warmth when I embrace you with two cupped hands. And the way I can smell your perfume from across the room while you get ready.
I remember when we first met. I was shy and a little wary of some of the things I'd been told about you. That you were dangerous.
Addictive. That you were the most abused drug on the planet; that's a lot of baggage. But maybe it was the danger that intrigued me in the first place. And, Coffee, with me it's not abuse. It's love.
We've been through a lot together, my little brown bean. You've helped me with too many papers, finals and boring professors to count. You're there for me in the rain, sleet and snow and are the perfect complement to a good book or good conversation.
You make me a better person. A more interesting person. A more lively person. You're the hottest performance-enhancing drug that nobody's testing for. I get a little twinkle in my eye when you're around - maybe not in my teeth, but that's what Crest Whitestrips are for.
LETTER GUIDELINES
But, baby, on Friday I'm getting paid. Keep your schedule open because I'm taking you out. I'll spring for the name-brand paper filters, dim the lights and I'll buy you a fancy new mug to dress up in. We can get a fine bottle of Evian for the coffee machine and see where the night takes us. See you then.

From here on out I'll be the perfect gentleman. I'll use a java jacket every time and you won't even have to remind me with your scalding temper. I'll take you out more in your travel mug. I know I shouldn't take you for granted just because we've been together for so long.
And about that fight recently. I'd like to reiterate that the relationship between alcohol and me is strictly platonic. She's a nice girl and is a lot of fun at parties, yes, but I don't know what I was thinking that time I suggested the three of us should get together and make you "Irish." Because Coffee, you're the only psychoactive substance for me.

BY EDDIE PELLS ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — A long, tough season ended with a Gator chomp again.
Mission accomplished for Florida.
The Gators were too much to handle once again Monday night, keeping their stranglehold on the college basketball world with an 84-75 victory against Ohio State for their second straight national championship.
Al Horford had 18 points and 12 rebounds, Taurean Green had 16 and Greg Oden's 25 points and 12 rebounds weren't enough to stop the Gators (35-5) from completing the quest they set upon when all the starters delayed their NBA plans for a try at another title.
Best athletic programs of all time, too.
They celebrated with the usual Gator chomps and took a chomp out of NCAA history, too — becoming the first team to repeat since Duke in 1991-92 and adding their name to the debate about the best teams
This win completes a 2007 championship-game sweep of the Buckeyes (35-4) in college's two biggest sports — men's hoops and football, Florida, a 41-14 winner in the football title game in January, remains the only program in history to hold both championships at the same time.
of all time.
Billy Donovan added another gold star to his resume, and figures to be making more than his current $1.7 million next season, whether he returns to Florida or bolts for a possible job offer at Kentucky.
The celebration looked much the same as last year. Lots of jersey tugging, jumping onto press row and Joakim Noah running into the stands to hug it out with loved ones.
Even with the same starting five as last year, this was more than just rolling the ball out there.
All season — including in the 86-60 victory over Ohio State in
December — the Gators have morphed into whatever kind of team they needed to be to win.
In this one, stopping Oden figured to be the key, but really it was more complex than that. The 7-foot freshman, who may be one-yearanddone with the NBA looming, stayed out of foul trouble and played most of the game — just what the Buckeyes figured they needed to have a chance.
Florida's focus, however, was more on stopping the rest of the team. Oden drew mostly single coverage when the ball went into the post. Donovan played a lot of zone and mixed his big men in and out, adding 6-10 Marreese Speights to the mix to give him five more fouls to play with.
That strategy worked well enough — well enough to win at least. Ohio State couldn't take advantage of any other matchups, especially on the perimeter. Ivan Harris was the only Buckeye to make a 3-pointer over the first 39-plus minutes of the game, and he finished 2-for-8.

Royals win home opener
Kansas City Royals' John Buck, right, is congratulated by teammate David DeJesus after Buck hit a home run during a baseball game against the Boston Red Sox in the sixth inning Monday, in Kansas City. Mo. The Royals won their home opener 7-1.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ed Zurqa/ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — All those critics who said Kansas City overpaid for Gil Meche will be hard to find now.
In his first start since signing a five-year, $55 million contract, the right-hander outduelled a shaky Curt Schilling on Monday and pitched the Royals to a 7-1 opening day victory over Boston.
The right-hander, being counted on to improve the worst pitching staff in the majors, went 7 1-3 innings and gave one run on six hits, with one walk and six strikeouts. He walked off the field to a standing ovation from the crowd of 41,257.
It was the longest opening-day outing for a Royals pitcher in 19 years.
Shilling (0-1) lasted only four innings, his shortest outing in nearly 10 years. He gave up five runs on eight hits, with two walks and five strikeouts.
Now 1-3 in five career starts at Kauffman Stadium, Schilling had gone 281 starts since being lifted after 2 2-3 innings on May 22, 1997, against the New York Metz. The sixtime All-Star was in trouble from the beginning, forcing in a run in the opening inning with his first basesloaded walk since Aug. 7, 2005.
Scilling also had gone only two innings on July 18, 2001, at San Diego before a light bank blew and forced the game to be suspended. Randy Johnson took the mound when the game resumed the next day.
Mache was relieved by Joel Peralta after Dustin Pedroia singled with one out in the eighth.
Three of Meche's strikeouts came against Julio Lugo, the free agent shortstop the Red Sox signed over
the winter to add speed and pop in the leadoff spot.
Mark Grudzielanek went 3-for-5 and drove in three runs. The second baseman, who won his first gold glove last season, had an RBI single in the second inning and then put the Royals on top 5-1 in the fourth with a two-run double. He also scored twice, on Schilling's bases-loaded walk in the first and Mark Teahen's RBI single in the sixth.
Grudzielanek underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on March 5 and was initially expected to miss the first month or so of the season.
With his first pitch in the major leagues, Boston reliever Hideki Okajima gave up a home run to John Buck leading off the sixth, making it 6-1.
After David Ortiz RBI double put the Red Sox on top 1 in the top
of the first, Schilling found himself in big trouble in the bottom of the inning after Grudzielanek, Teahen and Mike Sweeney loaded the bases with one-out singles.
Rookie third baseman Alex Gordon, the Royals' most promising prospect since Carlos Beltran, fouled off several pitches before striking out on a 1-2 delivery.
Tony Pena $ ^{[1]} $ , acquired in a trade from Atlanta near the end of spring training and handed the shortstop job, hit two triples, tying a team record. He tripled in his first at-bat, scored the Royals' second run on Grudzielanek's single and tripled in the eighth off Joel Pineiro to make the score 7-1.
But then Ryan Shealy drew the bases-loaded walk, tying it 1-1.
Buck doubled and Pena walked before Grudzielanek's two-out double in the fourth.

TRIP TO FINAL FOUR
NBA, college reveal different sides of ball
BASIL CAMERON
BY DANIEL MOLINA
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
DMOLINA@KANSAN.COM
I was in Atlanta for the Final Four thanks to my generous aunt, a diehard UCLA fan and alumna. Given the choice of spending a Sunday at the Georgia Aquarium or an Atlanta Hawks basketball game, I naturally opted for Hawks over fish. I'd never seen an NBA game in person, not to mention Kirk Hinrich and the rest of the Chicago Bulls were in town, so we picked up some tickets and headed inside the Philips Arena.
ATLANTA — Sometimes it takes a little extra perspective to see just how different two similar things can be. In this example, the subject was roundball and a dose of perspective came at an NBA game, which made me long for a heated Big 12 contest at Allen Fieldhouse.
First off, the Hawks' "Nest" is state-of-the-art, which was the first give-away that we weren't dealing with amateurs anymore. We found our seats, with backs and plush padding, and it immediately became clear I was a whole lot farther than a stone-throw away from the sweaty, cramped and cushion-less confines of Allen Fieldhouse. What transpired for the next two hours resembled more a circus than a basketball game. Think I'm exaggerating? Take these two examples from the game:
FOUR MINUTES LEFT IN THE GAME: Atlanta, playing a relaxed Chicago team that has already clinched a playoff spot, trails Chicago by six. There's a time-out on the floor and an ounce of intensity finally starts stirring in the underwhelming crowd of about 17,000. The Jumbotron flickers and it's time for "Catastrophe Theatre," a
montage of home videos showing person after person getting hit in the groin area in some way, shape or form. The crowd loved it, and so did I, because lets face it; nobody can see somebody get nailed in the nether region and not laugh — or cringe at least. Still, the basketball purist in me was saddened. This was the National Basketball Association I was watching. Some of the supposed greatest basketball players in the world were playing before my eyes. Yet I couldn't look anywhere without seeing some gimmick designed to keep me enthralled and entertained, as if the actual basketball wasn't doing the job. In all honesty, though, it wasn't. The League produces its fair-share of highlight-reel throwdowns. (Tyrus Thomas had a nasty one in this contest.) But for the most part, the players are cathartic (an equal byproduct of the NBA's style of play and its 82-game marathon season), the scoring is low, and the teamplay, non-existent. A KU exhibition game against a Division-2 cellar-dweller could've matched this game in intensity.
HALFTIME: The zillion-dollar light-system was put to the test on this act, a performance entitled "Wheelwork by Chris." The gist: a performer, "Chris" from "Cirque du Soleil" rolled around the court in a human-sized hamster wheel, doing all sorts of tricks and maneuvers. Check out his Web site at www.wheelworkbychris.com. The performance was entertaining, but did I mention he's an actual circus performer? Combine that with the arena's four levels of stacked luxury suites and it sometimes felt like an evening at the theatre, complete with an intermission to get up and mingle with the half-awake patrons next to me. A half-time where all I feel like doing is standing up and stretching? Sounds like the exact opposite of a Kansas game in the fieldhouse. And that just might be the biggest difference of all between these two basketball breeds.

what the rest of the baseball world has been saying, that they overpaid for pitcher GH Meche.
It certainly doesn't help that the Royals finally increased their payroll, only to play in arguably the most difficult division in baseball. They probably will still finish in last place.
The Kansas spring football game will be held in a few weeks, but that will only get me more depressed, knowing that even after that game.
college football will not start for four months.
So I guess the only alternative to watching these average sporting events, is to get outside, play some golf, and hibernate until sports become important again.

Wildcat center fielder Byron Wiley leads his team with a .371 average and his two home runs are tied for the team best.

to each
of their
schedules, K-State will be back May 4-6 for the three-game series against Kansas. Those games will be entered into Kansas' Big 12 Conference record, but tonight's will not.
Next season, a new NCAA rule will push back the start date of the baseball season. Official practices will not start until Feb.1 and games will not be played until Feb.23.
Delaying the start of the season will cut teams — like Kansas' preseason drastically short. The Jayhawks will not have more than two to three weeks to play highly ranked RPI games, as they did against
teams such as Stanford and No. 6 Arkansas this season.
"With the changes in seeding plan that's taking place next year, it only makes sense for our conference to protect our own RPIs of all of our teams;" coach Ritch Price said. "There will be several teams doing what we're doing now."
Meaning that the Big 12 is strong enough to raise the overall schedule strength of its fellow teams.Because they won't have time to get in the challenging, but beneficial, preseason, Kansas' midweek games will need to carry a lot more weight. Big 12 opponents will do just that, even when they are not counted towards the Big 12.
"The great thing about our league is we've got six teams in the top 25 probably ever team in our league's RPI is in the top 60," Price said. "So every time you play and you win, your RPI goes up."

MLB
Cubs to be sold at end of season
BY DAVE CARPENTER AP BUSINESS WRITER
The announcement Monday came as the ailing media conglomerate announced its acquisition by billionaire investor Sam Zell. It puts one of sports' most storied and starcrossed franchises on the block, a year shy of the 100th anniversary of its last World Series title.
CHICAGO — Tribune Co. made a stunning pitch to investors on baseball's opening day: The Chicago Cubs will be sold at season's end.
Zell, a real estate magnate who already owns part of his hometown Bulls and White Sox, issued no comment about why he's not interested in keeping the Cubs in connection with the $8.2 billion deal. The team is one of Tribune's richest assets.
for the Washington Nationals ($450 million) Los Angeles Dodgers ($430 million) and Milwaukee Brewers ($223 million), and agreed to for the Atlanta Braves ($461 million).
While the total may not exceed the record $660 million paid for the Boston Red Sox in 2002 by a group headed by John Henry, analysts and baseball insiders all agreed the price should top those paid since then
"The Cubs are a great franchise. Great history, great tradition," baseball commissioner Bud Selig told reporters in Chicago, where he was attending the White Sox opener against Cleveland. "I'm not going to speculate on price."
Bidding for the ballclub and historic Wrigley Field, however, is certain to be fiercely competitive. Analysts have estimated the Cubs could fetch $600 million or more, a far cry from the $20.5 million Tribune paid in 1981.
for comment, nor did Colangelo, a Chicago-area native who said in a November interview that he would have "great interest" in the Cubs.
The Cubs' popularity as a sports
Tribune hopes first to erase or at least lessen the Cubs' stigma of losing following 99 years without a championship, more than a quarter of them under its watch.
and the lure of potentially steering them to their first championship since 1908 has attracted the interest of many potential buyers since a sale became a strong possibility last year. Billionaire entrepreneur
"In our last season of ownership the team has one mission, and that is to win for our great fans," said Dennis FitzSimons, Tribune's chairman, president and chief executive officer.
"My guess is this is probably good news for Cubs fans. I don't think Tribune Co. has done a lot positive for the club."
ANDREW ZIMBALIST
Sports Economist
Mark Cuban, Phoenix sports executive Jerry Colangelo and actor Bill Murray are among those reported or rumored to have interest, along with numerous Chicago business figures.
Cuban, the most prominent and wealthiest of the bunch, did not immediately respond to a request
Speculation that the Cubs might be destined for new ownership ramped up last fall when Tribune put itself up for possible sale under pressure from disgruntled shareholders. It intensified with the club's offseason spending spree, including signing outfielder Alfonso Soriano to an eight-year contract for $136 million — the fifth-richest contract in major league history.
While the Cubs are renowned for their losing ways, they also have become more of a box-office success under Tribune's ownership and have spent dramatically more money in recent years. Nevertheless, its stewardship will go down as checkered if it fails to win so much as a single pennant.
“It's a marquee franchise,” said sports economist Andrew Zimbalist, an economics professor at Smith College who pegs the club's value at $500 million to $650 million depending on any changes to TV contracts and how Wrigley Field factors into the deal. But, he added, "My guess is this is probably good news for Cubs fans. I don't think Tribune Co. has done a lot positive for the club."
Tim Speis, who advises sports team owners for New York accounting firm Eisner LLP, pegged the Cubs' value based on 2005 revenues at roughly $465 million, excluding any debt, but said that's not only the factor in bidding for a sport franchise. "There's always a lot of emotion, for a lot of reasons," he said.
Selig contended that Tribune's ownership shouldn't be evaluated solely on-the-field results.
"There are a lot of different ways to evaluate ownership," he said. "I understand completely the wontloss parameters people use to judge people in this business. The Tribune Company has, as far as I'm concerned, been outstanding owners."

The Jayhawks look to rebound from back-to-back losses to Baylor when they face the Arkansas Lady 'Backs in a double header today at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. at Arocha Ballpark
Coach stresses aggressiveness
BY EVAN KAFARAKIS
The Jayhawks host the Lady 'Backs in a double-header today at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. at Arrocha Ballpark.
Coming off its first back-to-back losses to Baylor this past weekend since February 23 at the Red and Black tournament in Louisville, Ky., the Kansas softball team looks to get back on the winning track against Arkansas.
The team struggled offensively all weekend against Baylor, only accumulating five total runs in two
games.
"We need to come out with aggressiveness early on offense," coach Tracy Bunge said.
Kansas played Baylor tough in the seventh inning of the Sunday game, but though it fell short in its attempt, the jayhawks will use the game as a lesson.
"We have to come out strong every inning," freshman second baseman Sara Ramirez said after the game on Sunday.
The team had one hit through the first five innings against the Bears,

but strung together a short really in the seventh to give them a positive feeling after the game.
it's how you sometimes handle that failure seven times that gives you positive at bats in the three times you hit."
Last season these two teams met in Fayetteville, Ark, and the layhawks came away with 2-1 and 1.0 victories.
"In this game, good hitters fall 7 out of 10 times," Barra said. "And
"Akansas is a solid ball club that plays in the tough SEC conference," Burge said.
The lady Backs are coming off a 2-0 victory against Kentucky on Sunday and are 15-30 on the season.
Kansas is in the middle of a five-game homestand and is glad to be playing in front of its home crowd.
"We love to see the fans out," Ramirez said. "We've had a great crowd the past couple of games and we love playing at home."

Jayhawks play second border series
BY ALISSA BAUER
Though the lajawhaws (16-17, 3-6) fell an out shy of taking last weekend's series against Missouri, coach Ritch Price was pleased with his team's effort.
Jumping from one rivalry to the other, Kansas got just one day's rest between wrapping up its Big 12 Conference series at Missouri on Sunday and taking on Kansas State tonight.
Price and his Jayhawks will have to be fine enough to take tonight's game from a K-State (20-8, 4-2) squad whose luck with the comeback last weekend was a little more plentiful. The Wildcats are fresh off swiping two of three games from Texas Tech, both on come-from-behind victories.
"If we keep playing like this, if we keep battling and competing we'll be fine." Price said on Saturday.
Not only did k-State pull the comebacks, the team's sixth and seventh victories this season, but it did so in the late innings. Both came from rallies in the bottom of the eighth.
In the meantime, the Jayhawks rallied in the ninth inning of all three games against the Tigers, but won only one game.
"It is a positive thing, it just doesn't really feel like it," sophomore catcher Buck Afenir said. "We're out here to win, obviously, but after we're done it's a new game."
Afenir was a big help for the Jayhawks last weekend. He tallied three RBI, hit a home run in back-to-back at bats in game two and was the final run to score in that game.

Sporting events lag during dog days
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
RCOLAIANNI@KANSAN.COM
College basketball is over. The NFL is over. We must now relegate ourselves to the start of the Major League Baseball season, but even that will get old after a few weeks.
No longer will you be able to turn the television on and have a choice between a top 10 match-up in the Big East, a rivalry game in the Pac-10, and a college football bowl game. We will be stuck listening to chatter about the Red Sox and Yankees rivalry.
Welcome to the dog days of the sporting year.
The only thing that I am really looking forward to is finally seeing Tim Kurkjian whip out some obscure facts on Baseball Tonight. Kurkjian and Peter Gammons are by tar the more knowledgeable analysts sports journalism has to offer in any sport.
Until college football begins in five months, decent sporting events will be held sporadically. The Masters, which starts Thursday, is the first and by far the best golf tournament of the year, but after that what do fans have to look forward to? The NBA playoffs?
I am not a hockey fan but it is pretty fun to watch an overtime playoff game that goes until the early morning hours or see an entire team elect not to shave for two months.
Hockey playoffs start around the same time as the NBAS. Even though its playoffs are often more entertaining than its basketball counterpart, very few in this country care about the sport.
1
Sure the playoffs will start up in a few weeks, but the NBA playoffs feel like they last as long as the regular season, with commissioner David Stern trying to milk as much television exposure as he can during the nearly two month playoffs. Plus we all know what is going to happen: whoever comes out of the west is going to win it all.
We can watch old college football games on ESPN Classic to get ready for the season that is too far away, or relive the 1993 NCAA Men's Basketball tournament. Those will at least get your mind off the mind numbing sporting events that occur daily for the next five months.
We also will get to continue to watch ESPN self-promote its coverage of the NFL draft until late April and will probably start to see more Arena Football since ESPN is a partial owner of the league. No one cares that the Dallas Cowboys are looking to improve their defensive line in the upcoming draft.
Just because ESPN broadcasts the draft doesn't make it necessary for the network to cover it daily for more than a month. I wonder if they will do the same thing with the NBA draft in late June?
Locally, not much will go on in two weeks after Royals fans realize

Newcomers gain seats
Chestnut, Dever get first term Highberger wins re-election

Lawrence voters — including a typically low number of University students — shuffled seats on the city commission Tuesday as newcomers Mike Dever and Rob Chestnut took the top two spots in the commission election, according to unofficial election results.

Incumbent David Schauner and challengers James Bush and Carey Maynard-Moody failed to

Speaker advocates pride for all lifestyles
BY KATY BLAIR
The only question he wouldn't answer was about his kinkiest sex hobby.
Dan Savage, a sex columnist and radio talk show host, spoke in a nearly full Woodruff Auditorium about sex, love and anal beads for Pride Week.
"I come here and talk about politics, and you want to talk about three ways and anad beads," Savage said. "You knew what you wanted to ask before I even got to Kansas."
Savage kept the audience
"We need a straight pride parade. We problematize heterosexuality. It's lacking in our culture."

Process to increase student fees in review
BY ASHLEE KIELER
Student Senate will review bills to raise the Student Health Fee and the Student Union Fee tonight.
The proposed Health Fee asks for a $13.25 increase, The Student Union fee would increase $6 per semester if passed.
Student Senate passed a bill before spring break amending the process in which student fees are reviewed.
The changes affect the way in which student fee increases for the Student Union Fee, Student Health Fee, Student Recreation Fee and the Transportation Fee are reviewed.
Mike Wellems, Andover, Minn., senior and Finance Committee executive chairman, said the fees were reviewed every three years, but some operations wait longer.
With the new guidelines, the fees will be reviewed every year.

"Some of the bigger fees would
Andrew Payne, Garden Citysenior and Student Executive Committee chairman, authored the bill.
"The small increases every year would help the operations from going into deficit." Payne said.
Payne said that in the past, fees had been increased every five to six years.
"Large increases help the operations get more money than they need for three years creating a reserve, that at the end of the three years they need to dip into, creating a defect," Pavne said.
Large increases every five to six years allow operations to gain more money than originally needed at first. During the next three years when inflation increases, funds run out, creating a deficit, Payne said.

Ryan Rabe knows how to work the system. An accounting and finance major, Rabe figured out his sophomore year that he could make connections and earn money by becoming a teaching assistant. After taking Finance 310, "Finance," in the spring 2005, Rabe enjoyed the courts, so much that he never left.
Who's Who at KU
"I enjoy being able to help people, and it makes you famous," Rabe said.
Now in his fourth semester of helping teach the class, Rabe, Overland Park senior, has a special attachment to it. The exposure to a different perspective of campus and the relationships he has made with faculty have drawn him back to help teach each semester. Another benefit of being a TA is the opportunity to work with students.

He said that students in his section liked him because he gave out extra credit. When Rabe isn't working as a TA, he spends his time overseeing the Undergraduate Business Council. Rabe worked his way from Food Stop volunteer to president of the UBC, supervising all 11 organizations affiliated with the School of Business.
His commitments leave him little free time, but Rabe said he didn't regret being heavily involved. Rabe said the experience he has had in college so far would benefit him when he graduates in December and starts full-time work.

Kansan advertising wins award for best staff
The Kansan advertising staff made sure the University had at least one championship to its name this spring by winning the award for Best Advertising Student Staff of the Year along with 10 other awards at the College Newspaper Business and Advertising Managers conference in Portland, Ore., last week. The award for best staff was selected based on the total number of points accumulated in the competition.
Lindsey Shirack, Kansan business manager, said the staff won four awards last year out of a possible 22. Schools are divided into two categories based on readership, with first through third awarded in each. An overall best in category winner is also chosen from those winners.
"it's been a goal of a lot of people that have worked here to win this"Shirac said.
Shiracad said the staff last won the award in 2001, which was its third in four years."When I first came here it was kind of expected that we would win it and then we didn't for a few years;" she said. "To finally do that again is a huge accomplishment."

Play addresses gray areas of abortion issue
BY BETHANY BUNCH
After four days of dress rehearsals and a semester of planning, the University Theatre will perform "Keely and Du," a play addressing abortion from both sides of the issue.
The play will open at 7:30 tonight at the William Inge Memorial Theatre in Murphy Hall, which is located north of Allen Fieldhouse.
"We've been working on set design for five or six years now." Dennis Christilles, associate professor of theatre and film, joked.
He admitted that it had actually been only for the duration of the
semester that he had been working on costume and lighting and that students had done most of the work.
"I did the least work and proud of it," Christilles said.
The production is directed by Katrina
Bondari, Lenox, Ga., doctoral student in theatre studies. Bondari said the play focused on the gray areas of abortion.
"Whether you are pro-choice or pro-life, abortion is a hot topic in our society," Bondari said. "While Keely and Du' focuses on the abortion issue, the play celebrates life and the willingness of people to fight for life."
"While 'Keely and Du' focuses on the abortion issue, the play celebrates life and the willingness of people to fight for life."
Keely and Du
In the play, two members of a radical Christian anti-abortion group kidnap a pregnant girl, who is carrying the child of her rapist and seeking out an abortion clinic.
Bondari said the play was unique because it was able to graphically depict the issue without being slanted.

"It's about the struggle of life and fighting for life," Bondari said. "Either way just remember the individual in the situation."
Madison Spencer, Leawood graduate student in scenography, helped with set design and costumes. She said the group worked well together.
"It's been a really fun group working collaboratively," Spencer said. "Everyone is very open to hearing suggestions."
The play was written by lane Martin and first performed in 1993. Martin developed a bond between the rape victim and her kidnappers that keeps the play humanistic rather than political.
suggestions."
Friends of the Theatre is sponsoring a "Tuesday Talkback" with the director, designers and cast immediately following the April 10 performance.
This production deals with adult subject matter, includes strong language and portrays graphic violence. It is not suitable for children.
General admission tickets for "Keely and Du" are on sale in the KU ticket offices. Tickets are $10 for students, $11 for senior citizens, KU faculty and staff, and $12 for the public.

CNN SHOOTING
EMERGENCY SERVICE

A woman who was wounded during a shooting at the building complex that houses CNN's headquarters is transported by an emergency worker on Tuesday in Atlanta. A domestic dispute erupted in gunfire inside CNN's headquarters complex, killing one person and critically wounding another, authorities said.

Ex-boyfriend shoots woman
ATLANTA — A domestic dispute erupted in gunfire at CNN's headquarters complex Tuesday, killing a woman and critically wounding the ex-boyfriend who pulled a gun on her, authorities said.
The man and woman were arguing near the main entrance of the complex when the man shot her, police officer James Polite said. The armed man was then shot by a CNN security guard.
The woman was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital, authorities said. The man was in critical condition.
The woman, who checked and stocked honor bars at a hotel attached to CNN Center, was Clara Riddles, 22, of College Park, said Caryn Kboudi, a spokeswoman for
the Texas-based Omni Hotel chain.
CNN reported that the offices of its Internet operations, CNN.com, were immediately evacuated. Video footage also showed police pointing guns at a man lying on the ground at the bottom of an escalator inside the building.
An announcement over the building's public-address system said there had been gunfire "with potential casualties." Police cordoned off an area by the escalators near the main entrance, facing Centennial Olympic Park.
"I heard four or five shots, I really didn't see it. I got out of there quick," said Jas Stanford, 27, who had been helping take down a temporary stage
The park was the site of a bombing that killed a woman and injured more than 100 people during the 1996 Summer Olympics.
in the park used for college basketball's Final Four festivities.
Besides the Omni Hotel, the CNN complex also includes a large atrium and a food court. It is connected to Philips Arena, the home of the NBA's Atlanta Hawks.
In the food court, Trina Johnson, 44, of Atlanta, was with her daughter on a family outing.
"All of a sudden we heard a big boom. We thought it was an explosion," Johnson said. "We didn't see the gun. Everybody just started running."
Soon afterward, CNN coverage of the shooting was being shown on large-screen televisions inside the atrium, near where the shooting had taken place.
A message seeking comment was left with CNN officials.

ELECTION (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Jamie Shew, Douglas County clerk, said voting in precincts near campus was low as usual. He said that five to seven percent of registered voters actually voted in those precincts. County wide, voter participation was about 19 percent. Some precincts in west Lawrence registered up to 40 percent participation.
Shew said only 12 voters — less than one percent — showed up at the Burge Union, the voting site for Precinct 10. Nearly 80 percent of the precinct's 1,928 registered voters are 18 to 24 years old — by far the highest percentage in the county.
In each of the county's precincts with the top seven percentages of 18- to 24-year-old voters, Highberger, Schauner and Maynard-Moody attracted the most votes.
Dever said he was excited about the results.
"I'm really looking forward to stopping talking and starting working" he said.
49 of 49 precincts counted
He said he would like to attract more jobs to Lawrence, give students who live far from campus an opportunity to ride a bus to campus and increase wireless Internet accessibility around the city.

Chestnut said he wanted the city to continue to study the possibility of expanding its rental registration program, requiring all rental properties to submit to periodic city inspections for safety. He also said improving Lawrence's economy could help lower property taxes, meaning lower rent for students.
"When I was a student here in the late '70s and early '80s, it was cheaper to live here," Chestnut said.
Highberger said he wanted to move forward with the expanded rental registration program, and he said he had talked with some students about the possibility of installing emergency phones in neighborhoods near campus.

REVIEW (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
The small yearly increases would only affect operational costs. No new services would be added though the review. Like all increases, they must be approved by the Full Senate.
Welltles said this had been a year to catch up for increases.
This year student fees have increased $31 per semester. Fees increased for the Student Recreation and Fitness Center by $6. The transportation fee increased $20 to purchase newer buses. The passage of an expanded wireless Internet initiative, a bill that would not be reviewed by the guidelines, created a fee increase of $5.
Each fee increase would make it possible for each service to continue working at their current level while meeting inflationary costs.
"The small increases will make it easier to plan and provide more stability." Payne said.
Payne said the new guidelines
would be helpful to students and budget planners.

IMMIGRATION SERVICES
Agency reaches visa limit
The agency said it will use com
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said Tuesday it reached its limit for 2008 skilled-worker visa petitions in a single day and will not accept any more, to the dismay of technology companies that rely on the visas to hire foreign employees.
The agency began accepting petitions Monday for the fiscal year starting Oct. 1 and said it received about 150,000 applications by midafternoon.
The temporary H-1B visas are for foreign workers with high-tech skills or in specialty occupations. Congress has mandated that the immigration agency limit the visas granted to 65,000, although the cap does not apply to petitions made on behalf of current H-1B holders, and an additional 20,000 visas can be granted to applicants who hold advanced degrees from U.S. academic institutions.
puters to randomly pick visa recipients from the applications received Monday and Tuesday. It will reject the rest of the applications and return the filing fees.
Employers seek H-1B visas on behalf of scientists, engineers, com-
pduer programmers and other workers with the theoretical or technical expertise. In Microsoft Corp.'s case, about one-third of its 46,000 U.S.-based employees have work visas or are legal permanent residents with
Compete America, a coalition that includes Microsoft, chip maker Intel Corp., business software company Oracle Corp. and others, voiced its opposition to the visa cap in a statement Tuesday.
"We are trying to work with Congress to get the cap increased. Our real preference here is that there not be a cap at all."
GINNY TERZANO
Spokeswoman for Microsoft
green cards, said Ginny Terzano, a spokeswoman for the company.
"Our broken visa policies for highly educated foreign professionals are not only counterproductive, they are anticompetitive and detrimental to America's long-term economic competitiveness," said Robert Hoffman, an Oracle vice president and cochairman of Compete America.
"We are trying to work with Congress to get the cap increased." Terzano said. "Our real preference here is that there not be a cap at all."
Opponents say increasing the visa limit will bring down wages and discourage American youngsters from pursuing tech careers.
》LEGISLATURE
Business taxes set to rollback
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Tax cuts for businesses, seniors and home owners faced final action Tuesday night in both legislative chambers, including a measure phasing out the tax businesses pay for the privilege of operating in Kansas.
In all, tax rollbacks worth nearly $32 million during the fiscal year beginning July 1 were on the Legislature's agenda as members prepared to take their annual spring break. Over five years, the reductions would save businesses and Kansas taxpayers more than $300 million.
By late evening, legislators had approved all but four of the 10 bills. One that inspired heated debate would allow Johnson County officials to decide whether to put to a vote taxes that would fund construction of three bioscience research centers.
In the House, Majority Leader Ray Merrick derided the measure as a perk for Johnson County "elitists" seeking funding for their

"I don't like how this whole thing's been handled," said Merrick, (R-Stilwell.) "I think the

The biggest tax cut under consideration would eliminate the franchise tax, which charges businesses a fee for the privilege of operating in Kansas. The proposal has enjoyed bipartisan support this

"Our people can think for themselves and decide what to do," said Rep. Sue Storm, (D-Overland Park.)
"I don't like how this whole thing's been handled. I think the Senate ought to get serious."
Eliminating the fee would cut $7 million in state tax collections during the next fiscal year, rising
to $48 million in the fifth year when the tax would be wiped off the books. The total saved over five years would be $135 million.

Legislators also sent the governor measures allowing six counties to increase local tax rates to fund numerous road, bridge and building projects, as well as a bill giving some Kansans 55 and older reductions in property taxes.

SAVAGE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Emily Battenberg, Shawnee freshman, said she thoroughly enjoyed Savage.
"I've been reading Dan Savage's column in The Pitch for three years religiously," Battenberg said. "He's hilarious and brilliant and intelligent."
Grafenburg Spot, or G-spot.
Hank Dawson, a freshman at Baker University, traveled from Baldwin City to see Savage. Dawson said he read the column with his mom, and that Savage was fantastic in person.
Jonathan Pryor, Columbus senior and president of Queens and Allies, said he was also pleased that Savage could come to Lawrence for Pride Week.
"He has a pretty good following here," Pryor said. "People recognize him, both gay and straight, which I thought was important because Pride Week isn't just about LGBT people, it's for our allies too."
Savage closed out the evening by quoting Queen Elizabeth II by saying, "Grief is the price we pay for love." Savage said everyone should
understand and celebrate his or her sexuality instead of making it taboo.
His final advice for the night went to a 27-year-old single male, wanting to know what he should do. Savage gave him one simple answer.

BIKE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Hughes said most pressure from motorists happened because of congestion on Lawrence's roads.
Free kit pick-up
"I'm sitting at a red light and a guy flies by me through the intersection on a bike, and I'm thinking,
"Everyone wants to get where they're going, and they want to get there now," Hughes said.
The KU Public Safety Office will be giving away headlights and taillights at the following locations during the following times. Participants must bring their bikes to the locations to receive the lights.
The state of Kansas has recently taken initiative in providing more bicycle knowledge for motorists. Beginning in 2006, questions about approaching and passing bicyclists have been included on the driver's license examination, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
The most common complaint from bicyclists in Lawrence, Hughes said, was motorists and bicyclists alike who didn't know the laws, rights and responsibilities that go along with riding. About six times a year, Hughes said, a passing motorist would yell at him about staying on the sidewalks or riding in single-file lines. He said he understood the mindset, because more frequently than poor motorist behavior, he saw bicyclists who didn't know what they were doing.

Democrats frustrate Bush
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Bush denounced "irresponsible" Democrats on Tuesday for going on spring break without approving money for the Iraq war with no strings. He condemned House Speaker Nancy Pelosis trip to Syria, too, accusing her of encouraging a terrorism sponsor.
With Congress out of town, Bush tried to take the upper hand over Democrats who are making increasing forays into foreign policy as his term dwindles and his approval ratings remain low.
Democrats shot back that they are the ones pursuing effective solutions overseas in response to a national desire for change from his approach.
"We are not going to allow the president to continue a failed policy in Iraq. We represent the American people's vision on this failed war," Senate Majority leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said at a ceremony for a new Nevada National Guard armory near Las Vegas.
Speaking a day before he heads out of town for six days for events in the West and an Easter break at his ranch, the president
said Democrats were failing their responsibility to the troops and the nation's security by leaving for their own recess after passing bills to fund the war that contain timelines for American withdrawal.
Given his promised veto of anything containing a deadline, Bush said Democrats are merely engaging in games that "undercut the troops."
"Democrat leaders in Congress seem more interested in fighting political battles in Washington than in providing our troops what they need to fight the battles in Iraq," Bush said.
Nearly two months ago, Bush asked for more than $100 billion to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan this year. Congress has approved the money, but the Senate added a provision also calling to be out of Iraq by March 31, 2008. The House version demands a September 2008 withdrawal.
These bills still must be reconciled before legislation can be sent to the president.
"They need to come off their vacation, get a bill to my desk, and if it's got strings and mandates and withdrawals and pork I'll veto it,"
the president said. "And then we can get down to the business of getting this thing done."
Not so fast, Democrats responded.
On another topic, the president took issue with a two-day stay in Syria by Lelipos that began Tuesday.
"Americans want compromise, not a cowboy-style showdown," said House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.)
As the speaker donned a head scarf and mingled with Syrians at a mosque and a market in Damascus' Old City, preparing for meetings Wednesday with Syrian President Bashar Assad, Bush said she was sending dangerous signals. State-run newspapers in Syria published news of the visit on their front pages, with one daily publishing a photograph of Pelosi next to the headline: "Welcome Dialogue."
Bush said meetings with many high-level Americans have done nothing to persuade Assad to control violent elements of the militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah, to halt efforts to destabilize Lebanon or to stop allowing "foreign fighters" from flowing over Syria's border into Iraq.
"Photo opportunities and/or meetings with President Assad lead the Assad government to believe they're part of the mainstream of the international community when, in fact, they're a state sponsor of terror," he said.

in rural north Louisiana, authorities said. Two 11-year-old girls, a 12-year-old boy and a 13-year old boy were charged with obscenity, a felony. An 11-year-old boy, the alleged guard, was charged with being an accessory.
"After 44 years of doing this work, nothing shocks me anymore," said Union Parish Sheriff Bob Buckley. "But this comes pretty close."
A student who had been in the class told a high school student about it the next day, Buckley said. The student told a teacher, and school officials notified the sheriff's office. Detectives began questioning students Thursday.

》 OUR VIEW
Be kind to environment, ride a bike around town
Last Friday, more than one hundred bicyclists claimed the roads of Lawrence to protest human reliance on cars. The bike ride, dubbed "Critical Mass," occurs in cities around the world on the last Friday of every month to celebrate alternative means of transportation and to demonstrate that transportation is possible without polluting the air.
Their point is well-taken. Now that global warming is more fact than theory, we should all take it upon ourselves to save a little energy. Turn light switches off when exiting a room. Use cold or warm, not hot, settings for the washing machine. Plant a tree! Or, take a cue from Critical Mass cyclists and find an alternative means of transportation. Approximately 20 pounds of harmful carbon dioxide are emitted in the atmosphere for every gallon of gasoline used, so saving even a gallon or two of gas per week can go a long way.
Plus, there really couldn't be a nicer time to get around sans gasoline. Spring is here and new life is blossoming, erasing memories of cold winds and cracked skin. The grass is green, the flowers have bloomed, and
For those far from their desired destinations, alternative methods of transportation are still possible. Use Lawrence's public transportation, or arrange a car pool with friends or roommates. If looking for a new car, invest in an energy-efficient one. At the very least, appreciate America's highly developed road systems which make off-roading unnecessary, and abstain from buying monster "all-terrain" vehicles.
nests are filled with eggs. Time is really not of the essence. Students should forgo the car in order to meander and smell the roses. Biking and walking are both excellent ways to simultaneously be earth-friendly and physically fit. They're also stress-relieving methods to refresh and invigorate the body.
All of us should take a lesson from Critical Mass, even those who loathe bike riding or who roll their eyes and mutter "damn hippies" while reading this article. Not only is it a good idea to take care of our planet, there really couldn't be an easier time to be a little more energy-conscientious.

COMMENTARY
Al Jazeera provides relevant news
On March 12, Buckeye CableSystem became the first American cable company to broadcast the Al Jazeera English channel. This is a small but important breakthrough for Al Jazeera, and hopefully a sign that the channel will finally reach a wide audience in the United States.
Since its launch on November 15, the English version of the largest Middle Eastern television network has failed to find cable providers to carry its programming. This is outrageous because the channel is a wonderful opportunity to diversify the way news is covered in the U.S.
Why aren't major cable companies offering viewers this channel? Comcast has claimed that it is not adding a lot of new channels. This statement is absurd. On March 23, Comcast launched an I-70 traffic channel in Colorado. If the issue is really bandwidth, it is nice to know where their priorities are. As long as there are 20 shopping channels everything is fine.
The U.S. is in desperate need of a new cable news channel and Al
jazera might just be the solution.
American cable news is in terrible shape, FOX News, CNN and MSNBC are becoming increasingly similar to entertainment networks.
It's hard to find

valuable journalism in the midst of the newest celebrity overdose, latest blond girl gone missing or the constant partisan squabble between "analysts" All of this, of course, is interrupted every three minutes by the newest erectile dysfunction commercial.
Although Al Jazeera has had its faults along the way it has been crucial in providing objective news to the people in the Middle East. Western media has taken advantage of its breakthrough coverage by using its footage. The network has often attracted criticism from authoritarian governments when ever it aired critical reports against their administrations. It has also
faced remarkable challenges, whether having reporters banned from Arab nations, having its Baghdad office hit and a reporter killed by an American missile and having one of its cameramen detained in the aberration that is Guantanamo Bay.
However, Al Jazeera is still misinterpreted by many Americans. It's not even close to being the "pro-terrorist" network its critics accuse of if being. It has never shown footage of terrorists beheading hostages. It has showed dead American soldiers, but didn't American news outlets show images of burnt private contractors in Fallujah, or the dead bodies of Saddam Hussein's sons? Why should the general population be insulated from the horrors of war?
Al Jazeera English, at least the online stream version, shows some excellent reporting. Its stories have
a BBC feel, with a great degree of objectivity and calmness. I've yet to see sensationalist overtones in the reporting or loaded headlines asking, "Will Dems crush the economy if they control congress?" or, "Are atheist tactics too militant?" — both real headlines used by Fox News and CNN respectively.
The most positive aspect of Al Jazeera English is its news focus. It offers news coverage from areas that have been ignored by other cable news networks. Including significant coverage from Africa and perhaps the most thorough coverage of the Middle East. Even its European coverage, constantly reduced in the United States to only terrorist threats or French battering, is better.
Shame on Time Warner and Comcast for not carrying Al Jazeera English on their channel lineups, perhaps they can learn something from Buckeye about the importance of media diversity.

Dykman overcomes pitfalls, learns lessons in love
When all else fails, at least I have some good stories to tell.
And let's face it — all else fails quite often. Tuesday night seems to repeat itself endlessly when you don't have a car and the bank account reads in the single digits.
But when I think about the stories I've shared — the ones (when all else has failed) about lacking courage, the ones about needing to give advice and having none, the botched dates, the bad valentines — I've noticed that I finish the story and end the column, but I never come to any sort of conclusion.
Here's what I mean: I tell this tragedy that goes something like this. Boy meets girl. They go on a couple of dates. One that particularly went well was a Royals game where they bought Hy-Vee tickets and snuck down to the third or forth row, talked about life, books, college, but not the weather, even though it was one of those June afternoons that justifies spending $6
on a lemonade.

Boy thinks it's a sign when the Royals win.
But things go south, both for the boy and the Royals' season.

His thoughts are heavy and force him to sit down. He wants you to know that he's not making any of this up when he says he just happened to sit down at the same table as girl.
And, it is.
The summer is coming to a close, and at a graduation party, the boy is feeling down. This is one of the last times he will see these people. He doesn't know many of them, but he figures they all struggled through high school, acne and finals together, so they must be worth knowing.
"I haven't seen you in a long time," she says. He feels worse. He leaves.
He and a friend go looking for a cup of coffee. It's Sunday night, and the first two places
they try are closed. Finally they stop in a grocery store. And it's there, in aisle five, that boy sees girl again.
And it's about this point, when I am done telling the story, that my friends start to grin.
Usually it's "what a coincidence" or "what are the chances for that." We start to talk momentarily about a belief in fate or destiny. And when it's time for a second round of coffee, the absurdities and coincidences stay just that. This unspoken, yet assumed, "that's-too-bad" mentality makes its way across the room as we realize our coffee is too hot to sip. We sit and wait in silence.
We leave it up to ourselves to decide what it means. We file it away with the names of former teachers and old telephone numbers, as we work busily on our math. I wonder what the purposes of these stories are, these slices of life? I wonder what it means that he saw her in a grocery store?
It could be something about lost opportunities, but that's too simple. Anyway, I fear delivering a message like: Seize every opportunity you have; let no grocery store visit or graduation party slide crisely by.
It would be easier just to forget about coming to a conclusion and brand it a "good story" or "another one of those things that happen," ending it abruptly with something that sounds nice and has a touch of the dramatic. Something like: The coffee's cooled. This is the last time I tell a story like this.

》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Pride Week not just intended to shock campus
I feel obliged to add to what wasn't mentioned in Tuesday's The University Daily Kansan article about the Queers and Allies Kiss-In. From an outsider's perspective it could appear the sole objective was to be obnoxious and in-your-face. While this is one aspect of the kissing, it's not why such things are done.
The idea behind the Kiss-In is to promote visibility of queer people on campus in a way that can't be avoided by the general public. While many people don't like public displays of affection from queer or straight people, the truth is, straight couples do not have to battle the same things couples in
Pride Week is meant to be for everyone, not just the LGBTIQ — lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex — community. This is the third year we've done the Kiss-In to kick off Pride Week. We leave the rest of the week to educational, social, entertaining and community building lectures and activities.
the queer community have to. It's easy to say "get a room" or "gross" to straight couples showing their affection. Queer couples not only receive that but also face possible violence, hate and discrimination. The goal is to make you think about this and not to necessarily accept it.
and many may not even support such blatant activities as the kiss-in. We don't kiss to garner support for queer couples' public displays of affection, but to provide a glimpse of our visibility and to bring awareness of the fear, oppression, hate, violence and discrimination that is all too common toward the queer community in general.
We all have differing opinions
We hope you can join us the rest of the week for University and Lawrence Pride. For more info check out our Web site at www.kuqanda.org/pride.

Adjusting to life in America
Foreign exchange students use food,culture to adapt
BY ALISON CUMBOW
A typical jaunt from the Kansas Union to Anschutz Library means dodging buses, veering in and out of students and wondering if the weather will drastically change at any given second.
One great thing about zig-zagging through campus, however is the guarantee that the ears will hear an abundance of foreign languages, often spoken by exchange students.
International students come from more than 400 different countries to study at the University of Kansas.
Having left their families, friends and customs behind, exchange students arrive in Lawrence knowing they will need to adapt significantly to their new
surroundings.
Keeping their traditions alive in Kansas takes a little bit of extra work. Some substitute a beloved food item with one

not pasteurized."
"I think about the cherry blossom trees when spring comes," she said. "I like the idea that the Japanese culture loves to see and enjoy cherry blossoms every year."
Many international students use their hometown news source-
from Hy-Vee or celebrate a holiday that doesn't exist in the U.S. with new friends.
To bring her culture from her home country to others, Takahashi participates in many Japanese traditions here in Lawrence. One of those traditions was Sunday's Japan festival, in which Takahashi joined some of her peers for a rakugo performance. A traditional rakugo performance is similar to an American stand-up comedy show.
Pauline Jeannin, Besançon, France, graduate student, has adapted to her new environment easily since arriving at the University last August. She said she missed the food from her native country the most.
"Where I come from, it's very cold in winter, so we eat a lot of cheese and potatoes," she said.
Finding good French cheeses is a hard task, Jeannin said. She asks her family to send her care packages when The Laughing Cow brand cheese doesn't suffice.

Daniel Cunha, Porot, Portugal, doctoral student, said there weren't many people speaking his native language.
Cunha also enjoys finding places that serve his favorite traditional codfish dish, known as bacalau. He said he also enjoyed showing people how to make traditional Portuguese meals.
"I like to help teach my friends a few words in Portuguese," he said.
For international students, keeping their cultures alive in a place so distant from their 'norm' has become routine. They not only find ways to improvise a meal foreign to Kansas, but they also find ways to make themselves feel at home.

Down,but rarely out
Kansas used numerous comebacks to secure victories
BY MARK DENT
Sherron Collins drove the lane fearlessly and shoelessly. Mario Chalmers stroked a game-tying three-pointer without a hint of emotion on his face. Brandon Rush calmly laid the ball off the glass to seal a game.
Kansas' star players appeared to breathe confidence in close games, even on the verge of defeat.
But on the inside, the butterflies were swarming.
"You can't tell me we weren't nervous and anxious when we were down 32-10 and down in the last game at the fieldhouse," Kansas coach Bill Self said of his team's two games against Texas this season. "I don't think that's all bad though. That nervous excitement can sometimes create an edge for you."
It created an edge for Kansas several times. The Jayhawks converted their nerves to confidence this year when facing huge deficits. They won six games this season after trailing in the second half, including two post-season games.
This ability to come back became apparent early in the conference season. Kansas trailed Iowa State for most of the game in Ames, Iowa, before winning in overtime. It happened again two days later against Missouri at Allen Fieldhouse.
Tigers guard Stethon Hannah tried to give his team a chance to win, but Collins wouldn't let him. Collins outplayed his former high school rival down the stretch. He sweoped in past Hannah for a layup with 29 seconds left. He lost his shoe, but he won the game for Game 80-77.
"I don't know if I remember one individual taking a big game over like Sherron," Self said after the victory.
Collins wasn't the only Jayhawk to step up when Kansas trailed this season. Actually, everyone but Collins
came through against Texas in the last regular season game.
The Jayhawks fell behind by 16 points late in the first half largely because of Texas' Kevin Durant's 25-point performance. Kansas used a 22-6 run to open the second half and held on at the end for a 90-86 victory. Six Jayhawks scored seven or more points.
"Even though we were getting our butts kicked pretty good, they didn't panic," Self said afterwards. "In the postseason you're going to be behind. You need to understand the importance of getting stops at key times and stuff like that."
Self couldn't have been more right about the postseason. Texas came out even hotter against Kansas in the Big 12 Championship game. At one point, the Jayhawks were down 32-10.
Just like in the first game, Kansas battled back. The Jayhawks pulled to within five by halftime. In the second half, Rush, Collins and Chalmers took turns making big plays. Chalmers sent the game to overtime with a three-pointer from the top of the key with 15 seconds left. In the extra period, junior forward Darnell Jackson blocked Texas' DJ. Augustin and made two free throws to help seal the 88-84 overtime victory.
"I knew it was going to be a tough game," Collins said. "I had to get my head right and my mind right. It took heart to come back from a 22-point deficit and win in overtime."
Later in the postseason, Kansas faced another uphill battle. For 20-plus minutes in the Sweet Sixteen against Southern Illinois, the Salukis battered and bruised the Jayhawks on the perimeter. Kansas couldn't find an open look, and Southern Illinois had a six-point second half lead. It looked like the Jayhawks would become an upset victim of a Missouri Valley Conference team for the second year in a row.
Then Self told his players to use their speed. Rush, Robinson and Chalmers continually beat their men off the dribble to score baskets, get to the free-throw line or find Jackson or Arthur inside. Kansas quickly took charge and Rush gave Kansas the hard-earned victory for good on a layup with 25 seconds left.
"We've been through some tough times, and we've persevered and bounced back," Robinson said.
But will Kansas be able to bounce back from a crushing Elite Eight loss to UCLA next season? If the Jayhawks have as much success with handling adversity as they did this season, they shouldn't have any problem.
"We've got a little taste of it right now," Chalmers said. "We know if we come back next year we can do the same thing but get a little further."

Calendar of memorable events
A month-by-month breakdown of the 2006-07 men's basketball season
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
At the University of Kansas there are two seasons: basketball season and the offseason. The 2006-07 team offered plenty of excitement, as the Jayhawks won the Big 12 Conference title on its way to a 33-5 final record, the fourth-most victories in school history. Not everything was as smooth as a Brandon Rush dunk. Like any team, this year's Jayhawks had to grow into their roles.
October 2006
At 4:45 a.m. most students were asleep. Not Russell Robinson.
Robinson's alarm told him it was time to walk to Allen Fieldhouse for Boot Camp, coach Bill Self's preseason strength and conditioning program.
After visiting the trainer's room to tend to some minor injuries, Robinson was ready to begin the
Dance
hour-long practice. It was not a standard practice, though. There were no breaks, as players moved from station to station to do various activities, none of which involved a basketball.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
"I think I've been as hard on them this year than I have any time as far as what they're doing out there," Self said. "There's been other years where I've been verbally more like a drill sergeant. But these guys have responded pretty well, and they're in pretty good shape."
soiphomore guard Brandon Rush and junior Rock Chalk Dancer Clara Simmons entertain the fans at Late Night in the Phog last October.
Two weeks later, fans got their first opportunity to see the team at Late Night in the Phog. A rusty scrimmage didn't seem to bother the capacity crowd, which enjoyed the atmosphere and the dancing.During the 20-minute exhibition, one player gave a hint at what the coaches might see from him later in the season.
"I thought Sherron, without question, was one of the best players out there," Self said. "He made things happen."
The month ended on a sour note for the Jayhawks, as junior forward C.J. Giles was dismissed from the team following a variety of personal and academic problems. His absence cleared the way for the team to pick up another player, junior walk-on Brad Witherspoon. Giles transferred to Oregon State, where he will be eligible to play in December of next season.
November
different. Kansas defeated Ball State 64-46 with some largely uninspired basketball.
After defeating Washburn, Emporia State and Northern Arizona to start the season, Kansas was caught off guard by a red-hot Oral Roberts team. The Golden Eagles took away the Jayhawks' No. 3 national ranking, and left them looking for answers just four days before the Las Vegas Invitational.
That night at the hotel, Russell Robinson and Julian Wright led a players-only meeting to allow the team to voice its frustrations. As the players gathered in the hallway outside their rooms, things began to get heated.
In Sin City, things weren't much
"Everybody was pretty much angry and upset with a lot of things." Robinson said.
The players talked through a
variety of issues, including relations with the coaching staff. Self had said that the players weren't playing a mature team game. Instead, they were all trying to play their own game, which turned into more frustration.
"They haven't been real happy with me," he said. "And I haven't really been happy with them."
About 15 minutes later, after everyone had a chance to speak, the meeting ended. The next day, the Jayhawks defeated the No. 1 Florida
Gators 82-80 in overtime.

Five players finished with double-digit points, including 21 from Julian Wright and 19 from Darrell Arthur as the Jayhawk big men held their own against Florida's talented trio inside the paint.
Arthur was in the starting line-up in place of the injured Sasha Kaun. Kaun played 12 minutes of the Florida game as he began to come back from a knee injury and remerge as a starter. In Las Vegas, the spotlight belonged to Arthur, who captured the attention of NBA scouts in the building with his mature play.
Sophomore forward Julian Wright soars above Florida's big men for a dunk in the Jayhawk's 82-80 overtime victory at the Las Vegas invitational.
"I think it's probably the best game I've ever played in my life," he said. "It was just a battle to see who was going to get the last bucket."
December
This is typically a slow month in college basketball as teams take finals week off and then schedule lightly during Christmas and New Year's.
The Jayhawks gave themselves an early present before breaking for the holidays, defeating Boston College 84-66. The 18-point victory was also the perfect opportunity for Kansas to try something new: a zone defense.
After getting in foul trouble early, Self kept his players away from danger by moving to the zone,a rare sight in Allen Fieldhouse.
"We had been practicing the zone the whole break, and I think we ran it pretty well," Brandon Rush said.
Even with the 3-2 zone available to the team, Self didn't use it much the rest of the season, which was not unexpected. Most teams use the style of defense sparingly, if at all.
Kansas was also beginning to see contributions from freshman guard Sherron Collins. After arriving at Kansas more than 15 pounds overweight, the training staff put him on
a grueling regimen of diet and exercise. The results began to pay off, as Collins came back from winter break with, as Self put it, "more energy than ever"
The Jayhawks finished off the non-conference schedule without difficulty, defeating Detroit 63-43 and Rhode Island 80-69 in the type of games that made fans eager for the big games to arrive.
January 2007
At the beginning of the month, Self called Darnell Jackson into his office.
The coach had noticed that Jackson wasn't playing like himself on the court and asked him what was bothering him. Instead of just one thing, Jackson told him about the string of tragedies that had affected his family.
"Ever since I got here," he said.
"From my uncle getting killed, my grandpa and grandma dying, my mom getting in a wreck, and my cousin being shot and killed in a drive-by. It was just a whole bunch of stuff, and it was eating me up on the inside, because I was holding it all in."
After opening up, Jackson felt a weight lift off his shoulders and started playing some of his best basketball of the season. He used his body to create a physical presence in the paint, averaging a rebound every three minutes.
Had Sasha Kaun not secured the starting spot earlier in the season, Jackson would have made a serious run at the position.
"You can't measure him in points," Self said. "He makes a lot of smart, subtle plays."
Those plays were especially evident during the stretch late in January where Kansas blew out every team it faced. Following a loss to Texas Tech, Kansas responded by beating Baylor, Colorado and Nebraska by 26, 23 and 20 points, respectively.

Freshman guard Sherron Collins shoots over Missouri guard Steffon Hannah in a close Border Showdown game. The Jaways defeated the Tigers 80-77 in January.
The month marked the start of Big 12 play, which began with a marquee match-up between Kansas and Oklahoma State. The contest quickly soured when Cowboys turned in the first of what would be many pitiful road performances, losing in the fieldhouse 87-57.
A week later, fans were treated to a spirited Border Showdown game at the fieldhouse, as the Jayhawks defeated the Missouri Tigers 80-77. Sherron Collins had a breakout game, scoring 23 points. Most of those points came as Missouri abandoned its traditional pressure defense to play a zone, keeping the players fresh but also allowing Collins open looks from the three-point line all night.
The Tigers compensated on offense, and the game came down to
the final shots, where Collins delivered for the Jayhawks once again in the final seconds.
"The rivalry is pretty intense, and I can't say enough about Missouri," Self said. "It was a heck of a basketball game."
Februarv
Things were different in February. Texas A&M's Acie Law was still Mr. Clutch, and nobody was sure who was the best team in the Big 12. Both those things came into play as ESPN's College GameDay visited Lawrence for the Kansas vs. Texas A&M game Feb. 3.
Law emerged as the star of a close game, making a three-pointer with a hand in his face in the game's final seconds to lead the Aggies to a 69-66

After the loss to the Aggies, the Jayhawks didn't lose again for the rest of the month. They went to Columbia and beat Missouri by 18 and defeated Kansas State both in Lawrence and Manhattan.
Sophomore guard Mario Chalmers struggles to drive against UCLA forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and guard Josh Shipp. Chalmers scored just two points in the Jayhawks' 68-55 loss in the Elite Eight.
Add a victory at the Big 12 Tournament against Kansas State, and the layhawks went 5-0 against their rivals in 2007. The second game against the Wildcats came at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, where a sellout crowd was waiting to see if new coach Bob Huggins would deliver on his guaranteed victory.
victory. The Jayhawks fell a game back in the Big 12 race, meaning they would likely have to win out to be conference champions.
UCLA 23 UCLA 3 T REGIONAL UNIVERSITY
He couldn't — the jayhawks are now 24-0 in Manhattan the past 24 seasons — but the Wildcats did come close. The game was kept tight until the final minutes, when Huggins was whistled for a technical and the Wildcats began to tire inside the paint, losing their rebounding edge.
"We gave them too many second chances," Huggins said. "They're good, and we didn't do enough to win."
Kansas also got the help it needed, returning to the conference phase after Texas A&M lost to Texas Tech.
The players watched the game on their cell phones, watching the score refresh as they rode a bus to their hotel in Boulder, Colo. When the Red Raiders squeaked out a twopoint victory, even Self joined the players in a scream of excitement. One of the team's goals at the beginning of the season was to win the Big 12 title, and the Jayhawks again could do that.
"It's a good feeling." Sasha Kaun said, "But we have a lot of games left."
The Jayhawks were almost snagged in Oklahoma, as the Sooners applied stronger defensive pressure than the team had previously seen. The pressure rattled Sherron Collins, but the freshman survived, staying in the game and playing in most of the 67-65 victory.
"Brandon has got to step up." Self said. "He can't just score eight points or five points. He's better than that."
Leaving Oklahoma, the team's big story was Brandon Rush. Self called him out after the game, saying he have to be more aggressive if the Jayhawks were going to have a shot in March.
March
The biggest month of the basketball season came roaring in, as Kansas defeated Texas 90-86 to become the undisputed Big 12 Champions.
From there, it was off to Oklahoma City for the Big 12 Tournament, where Kansas opened with ho-hum victories against Oklahoma and Kansas State.
"They're just ready to get back to their rooms and play PlayStation." Self ioked.
The team worked hard to keep their same focus amid the distractions of March. Coaches urged the players to turn their cell phones off, so they wouldn't be distracted by friends calling to wish them well or family members looking for tickets.
"If our guys aren't focused, then we won't have a chance to go very far," Self said. "So many things could
throw your focus off. It could be agents, runners, media requests, friends, girl-friends, family members, tickets, cell phones. All of a sudden you start trying to be something to a lot of people, and you've lost it."
That wasn't

the case at the Big 12 Tournament. Kansas defeated Texas 88-84 in an overtime game that was every bit as thrilling as the first one. The Jayhawks rallied from 22 points down to defeat the Longhorns, the largest come-from-behind victory in school history.
They didn't have much time to savor the victory, as the NCAA tournament pairings were announced just minutes later. Kansas started its

it looked like the Jayhawks might be able to make that happen.
Southern Illinois was able to rattle Kansas with its pressure defense, but Brandon Rush arrived right on time. He led the Jayhawks to a 61-58 victory by taking charge down the stretch, just the way Self had been
urging him to do all season.
Two days later, the season ended with a 68-55 loss to UCLA, a game in which Kansas missed 19 layups and tip-ins. After the game, but before the draft speculation began, Self looked back at the season that was.
"The thing I'll take away from it is that we had a bunch of talented kids that sacrificed for the good of the program." Self said. "We liked sharing the ball."
Unlike college football, the college basketball season ends with a loss for almost every team, in a conference tournament or the NCAA tournament. The Jayhawks prepared for an offseason of more practices and conditioning, reminded of just how close they had come.
"It hurts," Self said. "I really felt like this was our year."

Duke coach to leave for Texas job
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DURHAM, N.C. — Gail Goestenkors is leaving Duke to coach the Texas women's basketball team, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Goostenkors, 44, built a powerhouse during her 15 seasons at Duke, winning seven Atlantic Coast Conference coach of the year awards and compiling a career record of 396-99.
The person with knowledge of the decision spoke on condition of anonymity because a formal announcement had not yet been made.
Duke guard Abby Waner said a team meeting was scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, but did not know why it was being held.
Goestenkens was widely considered the top candidate to replace Hall of Famer Jody Conradt at
Texas after her sudden resignation last month.
The night Conradt retired, Texas officials made it clear they would be willing to pay for a top-notch coach. Conradt earned $550,000 a year. While Goestenkors' salary at Duke is not a public record, it was believed the private school would be unlikely to match a high offer from the Longhorns.
Goestenkors visited the Texas campus last week, when she met with women's athletic director Chris Plonsky and members of the school's search committee and toured the Longhorns' 44,000-square-foot practice facilities.
Goestenkors coached the Blue Devils to four Final Fours and two appearances in the national championship game. Her last Duke team was one of her best — the Blue Devils ended the regular season ranked No. 1 and held the top
overall seed in the NCAA tournament, but were upset in the regional semifinals by Rutgers. Duke ended the season with a 32-2 record.
After Goestenkors visited Austin, Duke held an on-campus rally attended by fans and players to urge her to stay. But Texas is considered one of nation's best programs with its first-rate facilities and a recruiting pipeline to 1,300 Texas high schools.
Goestenkors already has established herself with those schools, signing star senior Lindsey Harding out of the Houston area.
Conradt spent 31 seasons at Texas and won her only national championship in 1986, when the Longhorns went 34-0. The Longhorns last made the Final Four in 2003. She retired with a career record of 900-306 in 38 seasons at Sam Houston State, Texas-Arlington and Texas.

Thanks for nothing, Royals
Continually miserable seasons, unappealing options ruin summers
GO ROYALS?
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
For those of us from the Kansas City area, this is the most depressing time of the sports year. Welcome to baseball season.
Some of us aren't as fortunate to have a team like the Cardinals to root for. Instead, Kansas City has been the laughingstock of Major League Baseball.
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
EJORGENSEN@KANSAN.COM
The Royals, year in and year out, give fans no hope. The beginning of each season is very similar to the beginning of the movie "Major League," with Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen and Wesley Snipes, where fans and Cleveland Indians' board members are discussing exactly how bad their team will be this year.
The Royals are bad. Really bad They haven't been division champions since 1985, the same year as their only World Series championship. If the Royals were better, my summers would be better.
One discussion between the board members about their roster from that movie perfectly summarizes the start of every Royals' season.
"I've never heard of half of these
guys and the ones I do know are out of their prime"
"Most of these guys never had a prime?"
"Cross him off then"
mer days better are the Royals contending for and earning a playoff spot, although that won't happen. Hopefully this year they'll take a step forward and put themselves in position for the next few seasons.
Rookie third baseman Alex Gordon is being compared to Royals legend George Brett, which should be a sign of hope.
I find it hard to get into baseball anymore, or any summer sport. I kind of watch the NBA, but generally only during the playoffs. I definitely don't watch the NHL
However, the Royals have a way of handling talented young players. They play them all season, he earns Rookie of the Year — or close to it, he slumps his second season, the Royals eventually trade him and he eventually plays in or wins the World Series. Johnny Damon, Jermaine Dye and Carlos Beltran are some of those.
Canada can have it. I watch the tennis and golf major tournaments but no more than those.
For now, I'll accept that this baseball season will be as rough as all the others. So I'll just have a sports-less summer and wait for football season to start again.
I've tried to get into NASCAR, but I can't. It's a "sport" built around action, yet every time there's a wreck they throw the caution flag out. These are supposed to be the best drivers in the world, and this is supposed to be an intense sport.

Safety key to pass defense

inexperience of sophomore defensive backs Justin Thornton and Anthony Webb. But one of the Jayhawks who can't be blamed is Stuckey.
Stuckey, a sophomore safety from Kansas City, Kan., missed the first five games of the season with an ankle injury. During those games, Kansas yielded nearly 290 passing yards per game. Nebraska burned Kansas for nearly 400 yards in an overtime loss, and unheralded Louisiana-Monroe nearly upset the Jayhawks on the strength of 377 passing yards.
Without Stuckey in the lineup
Kansas turned to Justin Thornton, a freshman at the time. Thornton was frequently punished by opposing blockers and receivers because of his thin frame. Stuckey's return to action
in early October did not fix all of Kansas's defensive problems, but the 202-pound safety gave the defense a more physical presence in the middle of the field.

The addition of experienced
junior-college transfers Resby and Harper should lend some muchneeded toughness and size to the defensive backfield. Adding Talib's hands and Stuckey's speed to the mix, the secondary could help the team escape from the cellar of the Big 12 Conference.

Arkansas used a two-run homer from catcher Whitney Cloer to jump on the Jayhawks in the first inning. Cloer went 2-for-3 at the plate with 2 RBI. The early inning fireworks continued in the second inning for Arkansas when left fielder Hillary Freeman sent a fastball over the right field wall for a three-run homer. Humphreys gave up five runs in 1/3 innings, but Bunge stood by her staff ace.
The Kansas softball team's offense stalled against Arkansas on Tuesday, resulting in a 6-1 loss in the second game of a doubleheader. A poor start from senior starting pitcher Kassie Humphreys, four fielding errors and compounded hitting woes left the team with another loss. Kansas (26-12-1) defeated Arkansas in the first game 4-2.
"We weren't very good in any part of the game," Bunge said. "Arkansas took it right to us right from the first inning on."
Coach Tracy Bunge was up-front with the assessment of her team's performance.

Sophomore starting pitcher Valerie George led Kansas to a 4-2 victory in the first game of the double-header, throwing five scoreless innings and earning her ninth victory of the year. Sophomore third baseman Val Chapple provided an offensive spark by going 2-for-3 with two runs scored in the first game. Chapple added an RBI double in the second game.
Freshman Sarah Vertelkame came in to relieve Humphreys and pitched 5 2/3 innings, giving up only one unearned run.
Kansas will return to Arrocha Ballpark today as it plays host to Nebraska in a single game at 3 p.m.
"Sarah did a really nice job when she came in there in relief," Bunge said. "She kept the ball down, and she kept the game where it needed to be to give us a chance to get back into it."
Bunge said that while it was always frustrating to walk away from the field with a loss, she hoped the team would take a few lessons from the second game.

First inning dooms Kansas
Wildcats' five-run frame too much for Jayhawks to overcome
BY ALISSA BAUER
MANHATTAN — Coach Ritch Price was curtous about the temperature after Tuesday's 10-6 loss to Kansas State. His guess of 20 degrees wasn't far from the actual mid-30s his team played in for the nearly four-hour game.
"That's the coldest, windiest game I've ever played in," Price said. "I'm surprised the guys were even able to throw strikes."
It certainly was a struggle.
"It is tough when we get a lead, like we did to start the game, and give it up right away."
Price's starting pitcher, Andres Esquibel, didn't even make it out of the first inning. The Wildcats hung five runs on Esquibel in the opening frame.
Price thought the cold weather and wind had an effect on Esquibel's performance.
"I think that's the first time he's had a chance to pitch when it's just freezing cold," Price said. "Being from California, obviously, I don't think he had a very good feel for the baseball. That's the first time he's been wild since he's been with us."
game's momentum their way on a two-out rally that included two hits, a walk and a Wildcat error.
With two outs and two on, junior second baseman Ryne Price soared a pop-up over K-State shortstop Eli Rumler. A run scored when Rumler dropped the ball, and the third run of the inning scored on sophomore catcher Buck Afenir's single that followed.
In the top half of the first, Kansas looked as if the series loss to Missouri was long forgotten. The Jayhawks swung the
That three-run advantage that Esquibel started with didn't mean much after the Wildcats posted five runs in the bottom of the first. The junior right-hander didn't even record an out as he walked four of the six batters he faced.
KYLE MURPHY
Senior center fielder
The 52- minute first inning set the tone for the long night to follow. The in-state rivals racked up eight runs and six hits between them in the opening inning.
Three straight base hits and a pair of walks in the bottom of the second spread the Wildcat lead to 7-3.
Showing the same rally power they did against the Tigers last weekend, the Jayhawks scored a pair of their own in their next at-bat. Starter Todd Vogel also struggled with walks, walking junior left fielder John Allman and sophomore first baseman Preston Land to lead off the third.
Afenir's single in the top of the third not only scored Land, but also marked his third multi-hit game in the last four.

Ryotaro Hayakawa loaded the bases in K-State's half of the fourth, just one scored. In fact, the Wildcats left 11 runners on base Tuesday night.
The Jayhawks also stranded 11 runners, but left them when it counted. Kansas narrowed the gap to 8-6 in the sixth but wouldn't score again. Two Wildcat singles followed by a double down the left field line scored the final pair of runs, closing the door on any Jayhawk comeback.
"It is tough when we get a lead, like we did to start the game, and give it up right away," senior center fielder Kyle Murphy said. "But it's not out of our control right now, we're just going to have to keep putting runs up."
Kansas will play Kansas Wesleyan University (9-18, 3-5 KCAC) today. The first pitch is scheduled for 4.p.m.at Hoglund Ballpark.

Esquibel set the tone for the Kansas pitching staff by failing to make it out of the first inning. In fact, he didn't even record an out. He was charged with five earned runs for his efforts and his ERA ballooned from 4.93 to 6.10.
Esquibel seemed to take an eternity earning his infinite ERA, walking four of the six batters he faced. Junior right-hander Matt Lane managed to stop the bleeding. Forty-eight minutes after the first pitch, the first Wildcat batter was retired.
Garcia pitched effectively, striking out four while allowing only four hits and no walks. Despite being his first long outing, throwing 70 pitches, he welcomed the challenge.
Junior Hiarali Garcia had the longest and most effective outing of any Jayhawk. He lasted 4 2/3 innings — more than doubling his previous season-long outing of two innings — and the only two runs he allowed came in his last inning of work when fatigue set in.

MANHATTAN — For a Kansas team slated to play eight games over a nine-day span. Tuesday's game was the last thing the Jayhawks needed.

"It kind of came second-nature because I've always been a starter at other levels," Garcia said. "I just let the adrenaline and want to win take over."
"I think we'll be fine," Price said. "Obviously we didn't use Smyth tonight and Esquibel and Hiarali will be able to bounce back on Friday without any problems at all."
As a result of tight scheduling, Kansas' only off day between last Friday and this Saturday was on Monday, but Price wasn't worried about his staff.

ENTERTAINMENT Swedish authorities reject couple's baby name choice
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Metallica may work as a name for a heavy metal band, but a Swedish couple is struggling to convince authorities it's also suitable for a baby girl.
Sweden's tax agency rejected Michael and Karolina Tomaro's application to name their 6-monthold daughter after the legendary rock band.
"It suits her," Karolina Tomaro, 27.
said Tuesday of the name "She's
said and she knows what she wants"
Although little Metallica has already been baptized, the Swedish National Tax Board refused to register the name, saying it was associated with both the rock group and the word "metal."
In Sweden, parents must get the names of their children approved by the tax authority, which is in charge of the population registry and issues personal identification numbers, similar to Social Security numbers in the United States.
The couple was backed by the County Administrative Court in Goteborg, which ruled on March 13 that there was no reason to block the name. It also noted that there already is a woman in Sweden with Metallica as a middle name.
the case also called the name "ugly."
Tomaro, who has appealed the decision, said the official handling
"We've had to cancel trips and can't get anywhere because we can't get her a passport without an approved name,"Tomaro said.
The tax agency appealed to a higher court, frustrating the family's foreign travel plans.

Spring brings best of sports
COMMENTARY
NCAA tournament, Major League Baseball highlight season
Opening week. Nothing tells us spring has arrived better than the arrival of Major League Baseball.
The start of the baseball season highlights the best sports week of the year, beginning with the NCAA Basketball Tournament final Monday night and the final round of the Masters on Sunday. Let's take a look at the pressing questions to answer this season while Royals' fans soak up their few seconds atop the division standings.
BY KAYVON SARRAF
KANSAN SPORTS COLUNIST
KSARRAF@KANSAN.COM
Is this the Royals' year?
That is, is this the year the Royals lose less than 100 games? Following three straight atrocious seasons, the squad put together by new general manager Dayton Moore looked impressive Monday in a victory against the Boston Red Sox. For one day at least, the Royals actually resembled a Major League caliber team. With Moore pulling the strings, it appears the Royals have solid young talent, led by 2005 No. 2 overall draft pick Alex Gordon, who will play third base, to build around a veteran core. Final record prediction: 74-88
How many bandwagon Cardinals and Cubs fans will we see on campus?
One knows the Cubs or Cardinals are in contention by strolling through campus in the fall and counting the
who had won 14 straight division championships in the playoffs last season. After completely overhauling their bullpen following a season in which they blew 29 saves, second only to the Royals, the Braves look like they can challenge the New York Mets for top position in the National League East. The Mets have the most complete lineup in the league, but their starting rotation behind Tom Glavine is a question mark. Look for both the Braves and Mets to make the playoffs, with one team snagging the wild card.
Sarraf is a Lawrence senior in journalism.
While most sports fans are already tired of seeing Bonds in the media, expect things to get even worse as he challenges Hank Aaron's all-time home run record. The "juiced Wonder" will likely break Aaron's record if he stays healthy, so fans can only hope Bonds forgets to put on his eight pounds of metal body armor as he crowds home plate. Final prediction: 760 home runs for Bonds and a sudden spike in income for human growth hormone smugglers.
Is Barry Bonds going to drive everyone crazy?
Local fans have a chance to catch the "Japanese Pedro" up close and personal in his first career start Thursday at Kauffman Stadium. The Red Sox nearly broke the bank by landing Daisuke Matsuzaka, and if Curt Schilling's performance Monday at Kansas City is any indication of his age starting to catch up with him, the Sox may need a Cy Young-like performance out of Dice-K to contend with the New York Yankees in the American League East.

PRO FOOTBALL NFL to allow local stations to shoot footage on sideline
to shoot footage on sidelines
JEFFERSON CITY The
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The National Football league will allow more local television stations to cover games from the sidelines next season under a policy change prompted by complaints from broadcast media.
Lawmakers in Missouri and Arizona had challenged an NFL policy, adopted for last season, that booted most local video cameras from the sidelines. Instead, TV stations were required to get sideline
"With one camera on the sideline, it put a heavy burden on that one station to make tapes available and share it with so many other stations?" Aiello said in a telephone interview. "We can do this in a more efficient way."
The NFL had described the camera restrictions as a way to make the sidelines safer and less crowded while also protecting the NFL's property rights to the game video. All of those goals are still met with the expanded number of sideline cameras, Aiello said.
Broadcast stations complained the policy prohibited them from zooming in on particular players for feature stories that would be of interest to their local audiences.
Under a change in policy, the NFL now plans to allow up to 10 local TV cameras—generally five from each teams' media market on the sidelines of games for its 2007-2008 season.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Tuesday that the new policy was intended to address the concerns of TV stations.

BY ASHLEE KIELER
Student Senate passed $22.75 in student fee increases Wednesday night, bringing the total increases for the year to $54.75.
Senate passed six fee increases and one decrease.
Increases were approved to the Multicultural Resource Center, Student Health Services, Student Union, environmental services, summer readership and media fees. Senate approved a decrease of $1 for the student readership program.
Senate approved an increase of $1.75 to the Multicultural Resource Center fee. The increase gives $1.50 to fund a new full-time front desk position at the Sabatini Multicultural Center. The other 25 cents go to fund long-term maintenance for the center.
"It's ridiculous to create a building without paying for someone to run it," Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior and Student Body president, said.

The Student Health Fee increased $13.25. The increase is the first since the 2003 fiscal year.
No additional services will be added from the increase. The fee increase specifically allows Health Services to operate at their current level.
Student Health Services operated at a deficit for the 2006 fiscal year because of inflation costs.
"The fee is about recovery, it's positive for the health center." Chris Foltz, Lenexa junior and chair of the Student Health Advisory Board, said.
The Student Union fee increased by $6. The last increase took place in the 2002 fiscal year.
The fee increase covers a jump in utility costs and half of custodial labor costs.
David Mucci, director of the Memorial Union, said that since the last fee increase, utilities have increased by $131,000 and custodial costs by $300,000.
"We're doing the best we can to keep fees low, but we can't make enough revenue to support increases. Mucci said."

Sales tax in Douglas County may increase.
BY JOE HUNT
A proposed bill would allow Kansas counties with public universities to increase sales taxes by one tenth of a cent. The money from the increase in taxes would go towards deferred maintenance costs at public universities.
The current sales tax rate in Douglas County is 7.3 percent. 5.3 percent is federal tax, one percent is county tax and one percent is city tax. The bill would increase the total sales tax rate to 7.31 percent. Despite the increase, the county's tax rate will remain lower than nearby Johnson County's sales tax of 7.525 percent.
Sen. Marci Francisco (D-Lawrence) said that increasing sales tax in certain counties was a bad idea.
In 2006, Douglas County's share of sales taxes totaled $0.755,543
according to the Douglas County Treasurer's Office. Increasing the tax rate in 2006 would have earned the county an extra $5,075.
Francisco said that counties with community colleges paid an extra tax, but those schools usually served smaller geographic areas.
"They really are statewide institutions rather than county institutions," Francisco said of state universities.
Rep. Paul Davis (D-Lawrence) agreed that extra taxes should be uniform among all Kansas counties or not exist.
"This is a state university and I think that everyone in the state has a responsibility to support it,"
Davis said. "There are students at the University of Kansas that come from every corner of this state."
Even if the proposed change becomes law, students shouldn't notice much of a difference when shopping in Douglas County. A student who spends $7,000 in Douglas County would pay an extra $7 of sales tax under the proposed change.
A November 2006 report released by the Kansas Board of Regents determined that the University and the University of Kansas Medical Center require 284.7 million in repairs.

》 HURRICANE KATRINA
Former FEMA leader opens up to students
BY DANAE DESHAZER
The poor response to Hurricane Katrina was caused by the dysfunctional behavior of Louisiana's local government and the lack of public communication about the situation, Michael Brown, former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said.
Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute, introduced Brown as the "villain" of Hurricane Katrina, but asked the audience to decide for themselves what the truth was in the situation.
"The administration was so focused on terrorism and other problems that homeland security was a problem child," Brown said.
Brown said he started his position prior to Katrina by creating five disaster scenarios that FEMA should plan for, including hurricanes and tsunamis. However, the budget didn't allow for FEMA to prepare for a potential catastrophic disaster.
"FEMA was crippled after budget cuts and programs being split apart," Brown said.
Michiko Takei/KANSAN
After posing to administrators that FEMA's budget was important if a disaster were to happen, Brown said each person he asked turned a deaf ear to him.
Brown said Hurricane Katrina

could have been helped if the government would have federalized the response, which would invoke national security to take over the state governments.
The dysfunction of Louisiana local government, including the mayor of New Orleans and the governor of Louisiana, was part of the cause for a delayed response by FEMA, Brown said.
The second problem Brown addressed was miscommunication after the storm hit. He said that he announced the truth about sending food, medicine, cots, etc.
Brown said, "Factually we were doing that, but it still wasn't enough."
He said he regretted that he didn't tell the whole story to the public.

Student invention tested with NASA
BY NATHAN GILL
When you stand up in an airplane, you don't usually float toward the ceiling. But that was the experience four University of Kansas engineering students had last week on NASA's C-9 "Weightless Wonder" aircraft.
The students used the aircraft, which simulates a zero gravity environment by free-falling from high altitudes, to test a mechanical arm that could make docking space shuttles to the International Space Station safer.
"The airplane is a flying laboratory,"
Aaron Teroel, Auburn, Ala. senior said.
Terrell, along with Laura Stiles, Prairie Village junior, Michael Hochman, Kansas City, Kan., junior, and Eric Simmons, Kansas City, Mo., junior, have been building and testing the docking device at a Learned Hall laboratory since December. The team proposed building the prototype arm to NASA's Reduced Gravity Student
Flight Opportunities Program in September, which has funded their research. Other funding has come from the school of engineering and other campus organizations.
Hochman said the arm was composed of several stiff wires connected by vertebrate-like supports. He said the wires are made with shape memory alloys, which have the ability to "remember" a pre-set shape. When subjected to electricity on Earth, the wires contract and cause the arm to partially coil.
"it's kind of like taking a string and twisting it at both ends" Hochman said.
The arm's purpose is to make space shuttle docking safer by grabbing the shuttle and guiding it into a docking position. Hochman said that the current NASA rendezvous maneuver was dangerous; astronauts basically ram their shuttle into a small target on the space station.

people moving to urban life. I will spend a whole week talking about sewers and another talk about prostitution. It should be interesting.
WHY DO YOU LIKE HISTORY? I think it is a great way to understand how people operate in particular circumstances and particular times. I like to help students identify with ordinary people from history and see how they are alike and how they are different. History also effects how we understand the world.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO FOCUS ON EASTERN EUROPE AND POLAND? I went to Poland as a mission for church for two years. While I was there I fell in love with the culture, people and the language. I decided when I got back to focus on this area of Europe because it is commonly left out of history books in high school. I felt it should be included because it is an important part of world history.

similar. I left a big state college with a great Russian and Eastern European department and basketball to another big state college with a great Russian and Eastern European department and basketball. I also enjoy teaching here because I get a good range of students.
IF YOU COULD BE ANY HISTORICAL FIGURE, WHO WOULD YOU BE WHY? I would want to be an ordinary clerk who lived in one of the cities at the turn of the century. I would live in an apartment and get to take the first ride on the electric street car in Krakow. On the weekends I could take my family swimming, but then again my children might not have all survived and it was a tough life around this time period. I am fascinated with this period though.

An officer found Melissa Byrum York, 40, on horseback and tried to stop her, Gregg said.
After ramming the police car with the horse and riding away, York tried to jump off but caught her foot in a stirrup, Gregg said. The officer took her into custody.

Brackets bring competition
BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT
An ocean, a five-hour time difference and the Florida Gators were all that stood between Allison Taylor and March Madness glory.
Unfortunately, it just wasn't to be.
Unfortunately, it just wasn't to be. The dream came knocked off when the Gators knocked off the Ohio State Buckeyes Monday in the NCAA basketball championship. Taylor, like thousands of KU students, had entered her bracket into Facebook's second annual bracket contest. Unlike many of those students, though, Taylor was doing her best to keep up with the tournament while she studied abroad in Paris.
"Before I came on study abroad, I had only missed a handful of home games in the past three seasons," Taylor, a Topeka sophomore, said. "I'm usually a diehard March Madness fan and watch every game possible, but this year it has been difficult to keep track of how all the teams have been playing."
Taylor said she tried to keep up with the bracket contest by visiting a sports bar she found in Paris that showed a few games.
In the contest, users filled out brackets and were awarded points based on the success of their selections. The owner of the top bracket won $25,000. The rest were just for bragging rights among individual networks.
Going into Monday's championship, Taylor was in second place among the KU network.
"I usually keep up with college basketball pretty well, so I felt like I knew some of the frontrunners for the Final Four," Taylor said. "But I didn't think my bracket would do this well because usually there are more Cinderella, and I didn't pick many upsets."
Patrick Johnson had no reservations picking Florida to win it all. He never considered going with the hometown Jayhawks; in fact, he missed by picking them to lose to Southern Illinois in the Sweet 16, and instead settled on the Gators to take the title. Why did he do it?
Johnson, a graduate student in Applied Behavioral Science, graduated from the University of Florida less than a year ago.
"I was the recipient of a lot of trash talk from those loyal to KU, especially when Kansas defeated Florida in overtime on a neutral court by 2 points in preseason play." Johnson said. "Luckily, our department in particular has a number of students and faculty with degrees from UF. In other words, I had a substantial support group."
Johnson's bracket was ranked among the best at KU going into the championship game. Even though Johnson correctly picked the Gators' title game victory, he finished with 165 points, five short of the winning total.
Dave Rombeck, 2005 graduate, was the lone person in the KU network to finish ahead of Johnson. Rombeck pulled away from the majority of Kansas fans when he picked the Jayhawks' Elite Eight loss to the UCLA Bruins and finished with 170 points.

FEES (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Services and Union fees will be reevaluated yearly by a Senate review committee. The review allows for small yearly increases, rather than bulk increases, such as this year's.
The Campus Environmental Improvement Fee increased $7.75. The increase allows for the creation of a new, full-time position to manage the bundling of recycling.
"An increase in recycling on campus created the need for the new position," Studie Red Corn, Shawnee junior and First Nations Student Association senator, said.
The Student Media Fee increased $2. The increase comes about to better fund student media groups. The fee last increased in 1978.
Jarrod Morgentern, Overland Park junior and Media Board
member, said the board has had to divide funds into smaller portions to accommodate new media groups.
The increase will allow for the board to better fund groups such as KIHK.
Senate also passed a decrease of $1 per fall and spring semester to the Student Readership Program.
The Student Readership Program provides free newspapers to campus. The program currently receives more money than needed to pay for the service.
The bill also created a fee for summer school students of $2 to fund the summer readership program.
"For the past two years excess money from the fee went to fund the summer readership program," Boots said. "It just makes sense for
the people using the program to pay for it.
Earlier in the semester, the Senate approved a $31 increase in student fees. The fees increased were for the expanded wireless initiative of $5 per semester, a $20 increase to the Transportation fee to purchase newer buses and a $6 increase to the Student Recreation Services fee to meet inflationary needs.
Next week students will have the chance to voice their opinions during elections when voting on a referendum to fund SafeBus.

The team traveled in late March to NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston and spent 11 days touring NASA facilities and preparing to test the arm in NASA's C-9 aircraft. The team separated into pairs and flew in two separate trips on the aircraft.
"They have to give astronauts special training just to perform this maneuver?" Hochman said.
NASA (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
The team expected the device would make a complete coil while in zero gravity, Terrell said. The arm coiled as expected, but would work better if it had a stronger structural support.
"The purpose was to see how this works in the environment it was designed for," Terrell said.
"We have a very preliminary design," Terrell said. "We know from the results we need to modify the design to make it more useful."
Terrell said that while on the flight, he felt like he was swimming, except that when he flailed his arms and kicked his legs he did not move.
Stiles said the team would soon make a final report for NASA that summarizes the project's results. She said she hoped to perfect the arm's design and reapply to the NASA program next year in order to perform more flight tests.

BROWN (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
At the time, he thought he could handle it internally within the federal government, but wished he would have turned to the public so the whole nation could have gotten involved. He knew he would have gotten fired if he had said something, but it could have inspired people to fix the problem.
Lisa Martinez, masters student in social welfare, and Al Araiza,
Overland Park resident, evacuated from New Orleans together after Hurricane Katrina hit. Martinez said she didn't blame Brown for what happened in response to Katrina.
"It's more than one man. He didn't come in with the ax and break the levee." Martinez said.
She also agreed with Brown that the government should have federalized a response and took over the
city from the beginning. Araiza said most of the low-economy population didn't have what it took to prepare an individual response, or to survive on their own.

publican presidential hopeful Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) speaks to the House of Representative at the State House on Wednesday in Oklahoma City. Brownback is one of several socially conservative republicans running for the republican presidential nomination.
Brownback seeks support from conservatives
》2008 ELECTION
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OKLAHOMA CITY — Sen. Sam Brownback said Wednesday he is "a tortoise" in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, starting out slowly and slowly moving up in the polls.
"It is very early in this contest," Brownback said following a speech before the Oklahoma House. "It is a big crowded field."
Brownback, a favorite of social conservatives, said he is "getting some good traction" as he crisscrosses the nation delivering his message in states whose 2008 primaries are considered key to the nomination.
Brownback emphasized both fiscal and religious conservative ideas during a 20-minute address to the state House where he promoted faith-based lifestyles and stronger families.
Pollisconsistentlyplace Brownback of Kansas behind top-tier candidates Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor; Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), and Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts.

public venues.
"Don't use legal fees as blackmail to drive people out of the public square," he said.
Brownback expressed support for the war in Iraq and said that as president he would veto a war spending bill passed by the U.S. House that would require President Bush to bring combat troops home from Iraq by Sept. 1, 2008. The president has also promised to veto it.
"We must win this war on terrorism," Brownback said, adding it is "right and just" to oppose militant Islamic radicals who are bent on attacking the U.S.
"The only way we lose is to pull out of the war on terrorism," Brownback said to applause from lawmakers in the Republican-controlled state House.
He said withdrawing from Iraq will not end the threat of terrorist attacks.
"We must engage and we must be in this fight," he said. "We cannot set a deadline for us pulling out."
Brownback said the nation needs a national energy policy that concentrates on wind energy, biofuels and other alternative fuels to make the nation less dependent on foreign fossil fuel sources.
he said.
He also said he opposes a windfall profits tax on the oil industry. "If you want less of something, tax it,"
Brownback said he wants to restrain federal spending and realign the nation's tax code by adopting an alternative flat tax. Placing four large volumes of Internal Revenue Service tax codes on the podium, Brownback
said the code is unintelligible.
"It needs to be taken behind a barn and killed with a dull ax," he said.
He also commended the state House for adopting anti-abortion legislation that would bar state tax
dollars and facilities from being used for the procedure. The measure is opposed by the Oklahoma State Medical Association, which said it interferes with a physician's ethical obligation to discuss all options of treatment with a patient.

Professor appeals murder conviction
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Murray said in the appeal that the 2005 conviction for the bludgeoning and stabbing of Carmin D. Ross was "tainted."
LAWRENCE — A former Kansas State University professor convicted of murdering his ex-wife in 2003 has appealed to the Kansas Supreme Court for a new trial, claiming that his trial was unfair and based on circumstantial evidence.
An attorney for Thomas E.
A jury found the former English professor guilty of first-degree murder and he was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 25 years. Murray has maintained his innocence.

The appeal argues that the conviction was based largely on Murray's suspicious statements and actions after Ross' death and not physical evidence linking him to the crime.
"The state's case was a house of cards, built on dozens of minor circumstances," appellate defender Sarah Ellen Johnson wrote in her brief to the court. "Remove any one of the minor circumstances and the entire case against Mr. Murray could collapse."
GAMING
Johnson's appeal for a new trial includes questions over a drop of Murray's blood that prosecutors said was found at the scene of the killing.
Assistant District Attorney Angela Wilson said last month that there was an "overwhelming mountain" of circumstantial evidence against Murray.
Prosecutors said Murray killed Ross, whose body was stabbed 17 times, because he was furious about the possibility of losing custody of his daughter. The murder weapon was never found.
Johnson said DNA analysis of the blood wasn't a conclusive match with Murray's.
Legislators gamble on casinos' future Use of slot machine money unclear
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — For many legislators, the elusive effort to remove Summer County from consideration for a resort casino was like Sasquatch, something glimpsed only in passing and from a distance, perhaps only a myth.
Others insisted before legislators began their annual spring break Wednesday that the measure is real and will appear when they return April 25.
Meanwhile, Sumner County awaits word on how much money it will get from a casino and slot machines at Wichita Greyhound Park.
What emerged all day Tuesday and early Wednesday was plenty of talk, a lot of maneuvering but no bill.
"There still a lot of things out there to be discussed and hashed out in any trailer bill, and I haven't seen one yet," said House Minority Leader Dennis McKinney (D-
Understanding the behind-the-scenes maneuvering on Sumner County's fate starts with last week's passage of the bill allowing a single casino each in Wyandotte County, Ford County, a southeast zone including Crawford and Cherokee counties and a south-central zone covering Sedgwick and Sumner counties. The measure also permits slot machines at race tracks in Kansas City, Frontenac and Wichita.
Summer County became eligible for a casino through an amendment added in the House by Rep. Vincent Wetta (D-Wellington). Even if it doesn't land the casino, it would get a share of Sedgwick County's gambling revenue, about $2 million.

Supporters pushed the bill through using procedures that prevented senators from rewriting the measure before sending it to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.

BRITISH CAPTIVES
Iran's president announces release of prisoners
ASSOCIATED PRESS
British navy personnel, seized by Iran, stand after their meeting with the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, not seen, at the presidential palace in Tehran, Iran, on Wednesday. Ahmadinejad announced that his government would release the 15 detained British sailors and marines Wednesday as an Easter season gift to the British people.
BY NASSER KARIMI ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEHRAN, Iran — President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defused a growing confrontation with Britain, announcing the surprise release of 15 captive British sailors Wednesday and then gleefully accepting the crew's thanks and handshakes in what he called an Easter gift.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair expressed "profound relief" over the peaceful end to the 13-day crisis. "Throughout we have taken a measured approach — firm but calm, not negotiating, but not confronting either." Blair said in London, adding a message to the Iranian people that "we bear you no ill will."
The announcement in Tehran was a breakthrough in a crisis that had escalated over nearly two weeks, raising oil prices and fears of military conflict in the volatile region. The move to release the sailors suggested that Iran's hard-line leadership decided it had shown its strength but did not want to push the standoff too far.
Iran did not get the main thing it sought — a public apology for entering Iranian waters, Britain, which
said its crew was in Iraqi waters when seized, insists it never offered a quid pro quo, either, instead relying on quiet diplomacy.
exercised a sort of quiet diplomacy to solve this problem and encourage dialogue between the two parties"; Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem said in Damascus.
Syria, Iran's close ally, said it played a role in winning the release. "Syria
The announcement of the release
came hours after U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi met with President Bashar Assad in Damascus, trying to show that a U.S. dialogue with Syria — rejected by the Bush administration — could bring benefits for
the Middle East. The British sailors were not part of their talks, and it was not clear if the release was timed to coincide with her visit.
Iran's official news agency said the British crew was to leave Iran by plane on Thursday at 8 a.m. By Wednesday evening they had still not been handed over to the British Embassy in Tehran and the embassy said it was not clear where they would spend the night. Britain's ambassador met with the sailors and confirmed they were in good health, Britain's Foreign Office said.
Ahmadinejad timed the announcement so as to make a dramatic splash, springing it halfway through a two-hour news conference.
The president first gave a medal of honor to the commander of the Iranian coast guards who captured the Britons, and admonished London for sending a mother, Leading Seaman Faye Turney, on such a dangerous mission in the Persian Gulf.
He said the British government was "not brave enough" to admit the crew had been in Iranian waters when it was captured.

"As announced on Feb. 14, we are open to all options for future collaboration with Chrysler," he told some 9,000 shareholders crammed inside Berlin's exhibition center. "The statement is still true today."
I am satisfied with the process. Everything is going according to plan."
He would not elaborate on who was involved in the talks.
Zet sch e stunned the automotive world on Feb. 14 when he said that continued losses and fierce competition in the United States meant that the German-American automaker was considering all options for its Chrysler unit, and did not rule out a possible sale, saying only that all options were being considered.
He did not disclose whether any decision to sell Chrysler had been made or if the company was any closer to a solution.
"As announced on Feb. 14, we are open to all options for future collaboration with Chrysler."

DaimlerChrysler AG chairman
Still, he did say a recovery plan that will cut 13,000 jobs in the U.S. and Canada was moving forward.
The Chrysler unit lost $1.5 billion in 2006.
"The crucial factor was the foreseeable
shift in demand to smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles which was triggered by increased gas prices in the U.S." Zetsche said.
No clear front-runner has yet emerged to buy Chrysler, but Canadian auto-parts supplier Magna International Inc. reportedly has submitted a bid to buy the business for as much as $4.7 billion.
He noted that Chrysler's strengths have been minivans, pickups and sport utility vehicles, autos not known for their fuel efficiency.
If DaimlerChrysler does sell off the U.S. unit, it will mark a significant change in fortunes since it bought Auburn Hills, Mich.-based Chrysler in 1998 for $36 billion.
Despite helping to keep the company afloat as little as two years ago when the Mercedes Car Group suffered massive quality control problems and declining sales, at least some of the company's more than 1 million shareholders have been pushing for a divorce — in both style and substance.
Cerberus Capital Management LLC and a consortium of investors led by Blackstone Group each have reviewed Chrysler's finances and are expected to make bids.
No significant tsunami was reported outside the Solomons, which are comprised of more than 200 islands with a population of about 552,000 people.

Gizo's proximity to the epicenter meant the destructive waves — up to 16 feet high — hit before an alarm could be sounded, rekindling debate about whether the multimillion-dollar warning systems installed after the 2004 tsunami are worth the cost.

Solomon Islands recover from tsunami
BY MERAIAH FOLEY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Residents in the village of Noro in the Solomon Islands on Monday wade through the main street after water subsided from a tsunami caused by an earth quake that hit the south Pacific in the early hours of the morning.
late Tuesday in Munda.
"People are in a panic because of the continuous tremors," said Rex Tara, a disaster management specialist with British-based aid agency Oxfam.
The fears of another tsunami have made it difficult for officials to determine the number of victims and get aid to the homeless. And aftershocks were pushing some survivors even deeper into the hills.
MUNDA, Solomon Islands Men perched on rocks peered out to sea through binoculars at a camp near the Solomon Islands town of Munda on Wednesday, watching for another deadly wave.
Authorities have no firm figure for the missing, but Solomon's deputy police commissioner Peter Marshall said aerial surveillance flights in the past two days had revealed "was no evidence of mass deaths"
The camp is one of many that have sprung up in hills behind towns hit by Monday's tsunami and earthquake. With strong aftershocks still jolting the region, the 40 families huddled there were afraid to come down, though some had run out of water.
At least 28 people were killed
On Wednesday, they ventured back for a sack of rice to replace the one they brought with them, now half gone. But when they heard a rumor that another wave was coming, they took to the hills again.
"There's no water to wash, no water to drink," said Esther Zekele, who fled with her husband and five children to the camp on Monday as the sea surged into Munda, on the western island of Gizo.

Pelosi visits Syria's leader
BY ZEINA KARAM ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAMASCUS, Syria — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi challenged the White House on Middle East policy Wednesday, meeting with Syria's leader and insisting "the road to Damascus is a road to peace."
That brought a sharp attack from the Bush administration, which has rejected direct talks with Damascus until it changes its ways.
"Unfortunately that road is lined with the victims of Hamas and Hezbollah, the victims of terrorists who cross from Syria into Iraq," said Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for President Bush's National Security Council. "It's unfortunate that she took this unilateral trip which we only see as counterproductive."
Washington accuses Syria of backing Hamas and Hezbollah, two groups it deems terrorist organizations. It also says Syria is fueling Iraq's violence by allowing Sunni insurgents to operate from its territory and is destabilizing Lebanon's government. Syrian security officials have been implicated in the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese premier Rafik Hariri in Beirut, though Damascus has denied a role.
Pelosi was the highest-ranking American politician to visit Syria since relations began to deteriorate in 2003. Then Secretary of State Colin Powell went to Damascus in May 2003.
The visit heightened tensions between the administration and congressional Democrats, who have stepped up their push for change
in U.S. policy in the Mideast and the Iraq war. But Democrats — and some Republicans — say the refusal of dialogue has closed doors to possible progress in resolving Mideast crises.
Pelosi's visit coincided with Iran's announcement that it would free 15 British marines and sailors captured in the Persian Gulf last month. Syrian officials claimed their country, an ally of Iran, played a key role in resolving the standoff. But they did not offer any specific details.
"We came in friendship, hope, and determined that the road to Damascus is a road to peace," said Pelosi, who met for three hours with Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Assad has repeatedly said over the past year that Darnascus is willing to negotiate with Israel.

LOS ANGELES — When Haley Scarnato blanked on the lyrics to "Missing You" on "American Idol," Sy Smith did everything she could to help. When Chris Sligh lost the rhythm on more than one song, Sharlotte Gibson was there for him.

ENTERTAINMENT Keith Richards now denies snorting his father's ashes
Gibson, Hathaway and Smith have deserved applause all along, said Minor, who's worked with them on a variety of award ceremonies and concerts since the late '90s. The women met each other on auditions and clicked instantly.
"There's a reason it these three girls in particular," Minor said. Of the 100 or so backup singers the indemand director calls on for his gigs, they are always the first choice.
LONDON — Off the cuff or up the nose? That was the question Wednesday as Keith Richards said he was joking when he described snorting his father's ashes along with a hit of cocaine.
"It was an off-the-cuff remark.

"They have such a unique way of studying the material, learning it, and then there's their blend. ... Their pitch and intonation is so spot on," he said.
In the interview, Richards was quoted as saying: "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father."
Richards
on its Web site that the remark was "no quip, but came about after much thinking" by the 63-year-old guitarist.
But the magazine said
"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared ... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."

MIAMI — One doctor authorized all 11 prescription medications found in Anna Nicole Smith's hotel room the day the Playboy Playmate died of a drug overdose, according to documents released by the medical examiner's office Wednesday.
More than 600 pills — including about 450 muscle relaxants
were missing from prescriptions that were no more than five weeks old, according to information obtained by The Associated

Cohen, a spokeswoman for the California Medical Board, would not comment on any probe into Eroshevich; she said investigations of doctors are not public record.
The type of drugs found in Smith's system were disclosed with the release of her autopsy report last week, but the remarkable quantity of drugs she had was unclear until Wednesday's release of additional records.
Dr. Joshua Perper, Broward County's medical examiner, said two other doctors also prescribed Smith drugs, but those medications were not found in her hotel room.

The powerful sleeping aid chloral hydrate, the medication blamed with tipping the balance in the toxic mix of drugs and causing her death, was prescribed Jan. 2. About two-thirds of the bottle was gone, according
to the medical examiner's records. The records also show 62 tablets of the anti-anxiety drug Valium were missing from a prescription less than
two weeks old at the time of Smith's death.
A probe by the Seminole Police Department agreed with Perper's assessment that Smith's death at 39 was an accident overdose and that there was no foul play.
none were prescribed in Smith's own name, according to documents. Perper has said all the drugs were meant for Smith.
Most of the drugs were prescribed in the name of Howard K. Stern, her lawyer-turned-companion, and
Information released by Perper's office shows eight of the prescriptions were issued under Stern's name; one under Eroshevich's name; and two were under the name of Alex Katz. It was unclear if Katz was an
alias or the name of someone connected to Smith.
Also missing were 79 tablets of the anti-seizure medications Topomax and Klonopin; and at least two dozen diuretics, antibiotics, antivirals and potassium supplements.
The records show Smith had three prescriptions for muscle relaxants in her hotel room: two for carisoprodol, prescribed Jan. 2 and Jan. 26, and one for methocarbamol, under the brand name Robaxin, prescribed Jan. 2. Some 415 of the carisoprodol pills were missing from their containers as well as 33 of the Robaxin pills, according to the documents.
The newly disclosed documents did not mention the strong painkiller methadone or the anti-anxiety pill Ativan, both of which were found in Smith's system. Also missing from the report was disclosure on who prescribed human growth hormone, the muscle-building, weight-reducing agent Smith was said to have been taking.
Two attorneys for Stern did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
Smith had a stomach flu and a temperature that rose as high as 105 degrees in the days before her death, and she had an infection on her buttocks from repeated injections.

ENTERTAINMENT 'Dancing' star Heather Mills says she's not a gold digger
NEW YORK — Heather Mills says the media should just let it be.
"All I did was to fall in love with someone madly, and I'm constantly being vilified in the press for it." Mills tells EI Entertainment Television's "E! News" in an interview that was to air Tuesday night
The 39-year-old activist has frequently complained of being knocked down by the media since she and former Beatle Paul McCartney, 64, separated last May after
four years of marriage. The couple, who have a 3-year-old daughter, Beatrice, began divorce proceedings in July.
"People label me a gold digger and, if I was, I would've been a very wealthy woman when I met Paul, and that wasn't the case at all," she says.
Mills is the first contestant with an artificial limb to compete on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars." She lost the leg in a motorcycle accident in 1993.
"Starting in a few weeks, I will start flying back and forth to England every week to be with
"My husband and I share 50/50 custody because I've always felt the father is just as important as the mother," she adds.
my daughter as she goes back to school," says Mills, who is in Los Angeles for the dance competition.
While Mills remains on the snow a celebrity is voted off each week — she will fly home Tuesday and return to Los Angeles on Sunday evening — "mostly practicing in the aisles on the plane,"she jokes.

Practice a healthier nutritious lifestyle
Centuries of studies have shown that food affects one's health and state of being.
The old aphorisms "you are what you eat" and "an apple a day keeps the doctor away suggest that diet, health and attitude are directly linked. Obesity is at epidemic proportions in our nation, but other rampant and potentially deadly illnesses including type II diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and a large number of cancers, are also directly related to the foods that we eat.
Although exact relations between foods and health conditions are hazy, it's better to err on the side of healthfulness. For a safer diet, here are some tips to follow:
— Read the labels! If a product has a foot-long list of ingredients, it's probably a no-go. Unpronounceable ingredients are generally artificial junk that the body detests.
— Avoid "bad" fats. Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils can be dangerous, particularly in large amounts, and both increase cancer and diabetes risk.To avoid these fats, replace margarine with olive oil and go light on meats.
- Limit sweets and use unrefined sugar when possible.
Processed sugar suppresses the immune system and is linked to cancer, premature aging, heart disease, diabetes and increased cholesterol.
- Load up on antioxidants and cancer-fighting goodies.
Fruits, berries, veggies, tea and coffee (as well as dark chocolate and red wine) are all excellent sources of antioxidants,
which lessen the damage of free radicals, unstable molecules that damage healthy cells. The National Institute for Cancer Research also lists beans, dark leafy vegetables, flaxseed, garlic, green tea, soy food, tomatoes and yoghurt as important foods with varied cancer-combating properties.
- Buy organic. If spending an extra dollar or two is feasible, splurge on the organic products. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) often contain harmful toxins from pesticides, hormones and antibiotics, as well as fewer nutrients and anti-oxidants than organic products.
- — Don't get sloshed. Contrary to what many believe, alcohol and the body are not good friends. Numerous health organizations — including the World Health Organization and the National Cancer Institute — link heavy alcohol consumption with numerous types of cancers. For those who like a cigarette while drinking, beware: several studies suggest that simultaneous use of alcohol and cigarettes cause cancer risk to skyrocket.
- Be balanced. In general, moderation is a good policy. Occasional splurges on fats, sugars or alcohol are OK but these things shouldn't be frequently consumed. If this advice is overwhelming, try slow immersion. Once or twice a week, replace greasy pizza with salad or sushi. Try fruit instead of a candy bar or juice instead of soda. In an environment overflowing with fast food, these small dietary changes may prevent harmful or deadly illnesses.

COMMENTARY
In baseball, and life, Pirates rule
Baseball season has begun, and I am once again looking forward to the World Series championship I expect to be won by my team, the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Sorry, Royals fans, but this just isn't your year, because the Pirates will be unstoppable. And because your team sucks.
Looking through the Pirates' schedule, I foresee no reason to not anticipate a perfect season. One hundred sixty-two wins might even be too pedestrian of a goal for a baseball juggernaut such as this year's Pirates squad. I also expect them to cure cancer and eradicate illiteracy. Reasonable expectations like these keep me from being disappointed by my team every year.
I know it's common practice for opinion columnists to write about
the wonderful faithful hope of baseball fans reborn every spring as the season starts anew. This is not such a piece. I don't care about your unsubstantiated hope

in your crap team. I am writing in early celebration of the first Pirates championship since 1979. And maybe even in celebration of their repeat victory next season. And for every season after that. And, consequently, I am writing to mourn the poor sportsmanship of the other 29 professional baseball teams, who will quit showing up for games in 2033, tired of 27 years of Pittsburgh dominance.
Why does baseball make the other professional sports look like the festivals of puke
that they are? I think it's because baseball imitates life. The baseball season is twice as
long as it needs to be, just like life. Baseball games are slow and often tedious, just like life. Some runs are scored on dramatic hits, but most runs come from stringing together three singles, just like life. Acting like an idiot can get you ten seconds on the Jumbotron, just like life.
I don't blame you if aren't a Pirates fan. We can't all be so lucky. My wife grew up in a confused household, where they not only
watched American League baseball (if you can call the American League baseball), but they cheered for the Boston Red Sox. I love her anyway.
Because I have the Pirates and my wife has the Red Sox, my children think everybody is supposed to have his own team. Because they were born in Los Angeles, my daughter is a Dodgers fan and she has assigned the Angels to her younger brother. She has already determined that our next child will have to be a Royals fan. Luckily, we will run out of baby-making years before we run out of baseball teams. But no matter what teams my kids pick, my Pittsburgh Pirates will always be better.

COMMENTARY
After glancing over their platforms, I find myself rolling my eyes at the same things like lowering textbook prices and getting more student services, a lot of them which aren't really necessary and will probably increase student fees. Textbooks will always be expensive. There are plenty of half-price bookstores and cheap Web sites you can go to if you're feeling thrifty.

I have an issue with the Athletics Department trying to control everything and always asking for more money. Don't they make enough selling off our parking spots? And why do they have to try and control all KU merchandise? People like funny T-shirts. George Bush doesn't sue everyone who wears derogatory shirts about him, and there are a lot of them. Also, I like having the option of choosing where I buy KU gear. I don't want to pay $20 more because one shirt is officially licensed merchandise; not everyone can afford a $50 hoodie with the word "Jayhawks" on it. What matters is that the shirts show we have school spirit.

I have an issue with enrollment
being a competitive sport. With about 28,000 students enrolled at KU, how am I supposed to get into a 32-spot English class that's required for my major? No wonder the University is "the best five or six years of your life". Maybe there's a way we can expand the required classes even more than they already are. Maybe the University should change its admission standards so that the student population doesn't keep growing as fast as the campus squirrel population.
Now, I know a lot of these issues Senate can't directly change, but it does have a loud voice with the administration, who runs the University. If Senate at least advocated these issues to the people who could change them, then Senate would really be speaking for the students. I know some of these issues happen at every University, but there are ways of improving them.
Until then, I'll keep trucking up the hills, wishing for a ski lift weighed down by a backpack full of heavy textbooks. But, at least they'll be cheap textbooks.

New Mexico residents resist billionaire's plan for spaceport
ASSOCIATED PRESS
UPHAM, N.M. — Billionaire Richard Branson looks at a bleak and featureless expanse of the New Mexico desert and sees the perfect spot on which to build the future
- a $198 million launch complex that would blast paying tourists into space.
Whether enough folks around here share his vision remains to be seen.
Spaceport America, as sketched out by Branson, would be funded by
$198 million in state, local and federal money. The first rocket flights would be in 2009 and would initially be suborbital trips that would offer five minutes of weightlessness at about $200,000 per person. Eventually, the spaceport could offer trips into orbit and beyond.
But in poor southern New Mexico's ranching country, some say they have no intention of paying for some rich people's thrills.
On Tuesday, residents of Dona Ana County voted on a proposed quarter-cent sales tax increase critical to the project. The tax increase, which would raise a projected $49 million, led by a mere 238 votes out of 17,168 cast, with 541 provisional ballots still to be counted. A final count is expected Thursday.
"I do not see any reason that every time I buy a dress for my wife I should have to pay more taxes," grumbled George Gandara, a 63-year-old business owner in Las Cruces, about 60 miles south of the spaceport site.
Carol Garcia, 52, of Las Cruces,
said "It's just a rich man's dream
Rick Homans, New Mexico's economic development director, said he was expecting a wider margin of victory.
that he needs us to help pay for. If it's your dream, build it yourself."
"On one hand, there is a healthy skepticism and a great deal of caution about the project," he said. "And on the other hand, there is a lot of optimism for what it could do for the state."
Will Whitehorn, a spokesman for Branson's Virgin Galactic in London, said Wednesday that the
company would not comment until all the ballots had been counted. But Homans said the defeat of the tax increase would probably doom the project.
"Realistically, the project would unravel, very likely," he said.
State leaders, including Democratic presidential hopeful Gov. Bill Richardson, who toured the area last week in a late-hour push for tax, have pinned southern New Mexico's economic fate on the spaceport. Homans said the project would do no less than mark New
Mexico as "the birthplace of the second space age."
The 27-square-mile site, which would be near White Sands Missile Range, where the U.S. launched its first rocket after World War II, would include a 10,000-foot runway with adjoining terminals and hangars.
The big runway would be able to handle the kinds of planes that take spaceships up to 60,000 feet, where they could then be launched.
There also would be an area to launch rockets vertically.

'Huskers profit from George's slow start
BY EVAN KAFARAKIS
After throwing 44 pitches in the first inning alone, it seemed like it would be a long day for Kansas sophomore pitcher Valerie George.
Behind George (9-3) the Kansas defense struggled early while the offense was nearly non-existent in the Jayhawks 3-0 loss to visiting Nebraska.
"Nebraska did a great job of really battling her offensively," coach Tracy Bunne said.
In the first inning George found herself in a hole with the bases loaded and one out giving up a sacrifice fly to right field to bring in a runner and leave one on first and one on
third.
A double steal caught the layhawk defense off guard as sophomore catcher Elle Potford committed a throwing error to try and catch the runner.
"They put the ball in play and defensively we couldn't shut that down," Bunge said.
Already down 2-0, the stalling Jayhawk offense couldn't secure a hit until the fourth inning.
The bats for the Jayhawks have gone cold in their five-game homestand, which concerns coach Bunge, but she gives the credit to opposing pitching.
"We've struggled against Ashley,
Bunge said of Nebraska senior pitch
er Ashley DeBuhr, who pitched a complete game two-hitter against Kansas. "She has come a long way and I give that kid a lot of credit."
DeBuhr faced 22 Jayhawk batters and struck out 12.
After giving up another run in the second inning, George started to get in her zone allowing two hits the rest of the game.
"I thought Valerie George did a solid job out there," Bunge said.
George pitched a complete game giving up five hits and striking out four.
George said she tried to start the game aggressively but she just didn't have her stuff the first two innings.
"I felt really good the rest of the
game. I don't know what changed, maybe confidence, just knowing I can throw my stuff", George said.
The Jayhawks went 1-4 in their longest homestand in a month putting them at a 26-13-1 record and 2-3 in the Big 12.
When the game ended, the Jayhawks took to left field to listen to what Bunge had to say to them, but had to wait as Bunge had a long conference with her coaching staff on the third base line.
"As a coaching staff we're trying to figure out what the right switches are." Bunge said.

Kansas Wesleyan proves easy target
Jayhawks thump Coyotes 11-4, gives non-starters play time
BY ALISSA BAUER
His faith in the back up guys he started paid off. Already comfortable with a 9-0 lead in the bottom of the fifth, junior outfielder Casey Larson hit a milestone.
The 10 pitching changes in Wednesday's game against Kansas Wesleyan held up as proof for Coach Ritch Price's reasoning in playing NAIA opponents.
The 11-4 Kansas (17-18, 3-6) victory gave the Jayhawks a chance to rest some starters, work in young guys and rack up some runs before kicking off the series against No. 7 Texas this afternoon.
Not yet an everyday player, Larson filled in for junior John Allman.
While Allman took the day off, Larson took the ball out of the park. The two-run homer was his first as a jayhawk and put Kansas ahead 11-0.
"It was exciting—it got up in the wind a little bit," Larson said. "It felt real good to get the opportunity to swing a little bit."
The Coyotes (10-21) would rally in the sixth and seventh, but with an 11-4 lead, giving up a handful runs was of little concern.
Added to the schedule because of three cancellations against North Dakota State and Western Illinois,
coach Price said he was interested in getting some work for his guys.
The Jayhawks took advantage of the extra game from the first pitch. Four straight Jayhawks reached base in the bottom of the first, after senior center fielder Kyle Murphy led off the game with a triple to right.
Robby Price, freshman third-baseman-turned-shortstop for the day followed suit with an infield hit.
The floodgates opened shortly thereafter.
"I think our guys did a nice job of laying off the off-speed stuff," coach Price said. "Sometimes the hardest guys Big 12 hitters have to hit are the guys that are under the radar gun, and their guys were under that radar gun."
Senior first baseman Ross Kelling led off the second with a walk. Senior catcher Dylan Parzey connected on a double off the left field wall.
That wrapped up the majority of the work Kansas had to do in the inning, as Kansas Wesleyan went on to walk another and beamed two more Kansas players.
A Brock Simpson double drove in two more to put the Jayhawks on cruise control. Two sacrifice flies later, Kansas had secured an 8-0 lead.
In the meantime, Kansas' pitching was cruising.
schedule
Due to the cold weather, the starting times for the Friday and Saturday games against No. 7 Texas were pushed to earlier in the day. Both were scheduled to start at 7 p.m. and will now each be played at 3 p.m. The series finale slated for 1 p.m. on Sunday will remain the same.
After nearly a four-hour contest at Kansas State the night before, starting pitcher Wally Marceli sailed through his five-inning start. Allowing no runs and no walks, the freshman seemed unfazed by the surprisingly cold weather that affected his teammates the night before.
The night before the Jayhawks open the series against Texas, that cold may not be a bad thing. Especially when the Longhorns are looking to avenge losing their last three-game series to the Jayhawks.
"It was cold," Marceli said. "I'm not gonna lie."
"We won the series two years ago," coach Price said. "I'm just glad

"I did it halfway last year," Talib said. "I didn't let people hear me the whole game. I'd be too quiet sometimes."
His desire to be louder was apparent at the open practice when the team tried goal line situations. The offense had been running the ball against the defense with relative ease for most of the afternoon. Talib had enough.

As a St. Louis Cardinals fan, the notion of Buck Night and $8 seats is completely foreign to me. For instance, standing-room only seats sell for a minimum of $13 in the new Busch Stadium. A beer at our year-old stadium will set you back $8.25. Other concessions are equally outrageous.
For college students, a trip to Busch can be a tough experience for the wallet. And while I've anecdotally known that the Royals are one of the cheapest experiences out there, ESPN The Magazine went to the trouble to quantify that cheapness.
According to their analysis (you can check out their methodology by clicking the link in my column online at Kansan.com), the Kansas City Royals come in as the most affordable franchise out of all 122 teams that play in the Big Four pro leagues: NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL. For a college student, this list should be a guide to good weekend getaways and short summer trips.
For basketball fans, for instance, the San Antonio Spurs come in at number 12 among all franchises. San Antonio, Texas, is driveable — though beware of traffic in Austin and Dallas — and is an absolutely outstanding town to visit. Much fun can be had there and even more up the road in Austin, home to Sixth Street and the University
of Texas.
If you've planned in advance, the Spurs make a number of tickets available for $10 a piece. You're probably out of luck on any of the remaining games for this regular season, but next season could be the perfect opportunity.
Incidentally, the Spurs are not the only successful team that is lauded for being an affordable experience for sports fans. The Buffalo Sabres of the NHL are ranked as the overall best franchise by ESPN The Magazine. The Sabres get high marks for their on-ice performance, fan relations, coach and player behavior as well. This should give Royals fans a little bit of hope that remaining affordable won't doom them to baseball's cellar forever.
As for the Cardinals, probably the closest non-Kansas City sports franchise, they come in at 19th overall, but all the way down at 38th for affordability. Not exactly college student friendly.
The next Royals Buck Night is May 5, just days before we all go into over-stress mode with term papers, final exams and other projects that are designed to increase our stress and decrease our sleep.
Do yourself and your body a favor and take advantage of the most affordable professional sports franchise in the United States. There's nothing like a Kansas City Royals game.
Except, that is, for a St. Louis Cardinals game. As long as someone else is paying.

GRAMBLING
Friends, family celebrate coach's life
BY MARY FOSTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
To his very last day, Eddie Robinson was always battling something.
There was the institutional racism that surrounded him, the piddling football budget he and his coaching staff subsisted on at predominantly black Grambling State and, ultimately, the Alzheimer's disease that took his life at age 88.
"Hed been fighting that battle for a long time." said former Grambling quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Doug Williams. "It was one of the many he fought in his lifetime."
Grambling head coach Eddie Robinson died from the sidelines during his last game in Grambling, La. in 1997. Robinson died Tuesday night after being hospitalized for Alzheimer's.
ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO
Robinson died Tuesday night, not long after being admitted to Lincoln General Hospital in Ruston, La., Williams said.
He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease shortly after he retired in 1997 and had been in and out of a nursing home during the past year.
And so ended the life of a beloved football coach who put a small school in remote northern Louisiana on the map and turned it into a virtual farm team for the NFL during a career that spanned 57 years.
Robinson built a football powerhouse with a worldwide reputation, all the while struggling to get past years of segregation and discrimination against blacks.
"Today we mourn the loss of a great Louisiana and a true American hero," Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco said. "Coach Eddie Robinson became the most successful college coach of all time and one of the greatest civil rights pioneers in our history. ... Coach Robinson elevated a small town program to national prominence and tore down barriers
His success at Grambling no doubt made him the first easily recognizable black coach in any sport.
to achieve an equal playing field for athletes of all races."
Robinson won 408 games, the most ever for any coach at the time of his retirement in 1997. He sent hundreds of players to the NFL and other
"Everybody wanted to play at Grambling," Jackson State coach Rick Comegy said. "He'd done such a fantastic job. He was on national
players", NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said. "He always focused on coaching his players to be better men as well as better football players."
Playing at Grambling became a goal of young black men as Robinson's fame grew.
KATHLEEN BLANCO Louisiana governor
"Today we mourn the loss of a great Louisianan and a true American hero."
"We will be forever grateful for the more than 200 young men he developed at Grambling who starred in the NFL and those who later coached the next generation of NFL
leagues, and the majority of them were clutching college degrees when they left.
Robinson's career spanned 11 presidents, several wars and the civil rights movement. Though hesteams

Until John Gagliardi of St. Johns, Minn., topped the victory mark four years ago, Robinson was the winningest coach in all of college football.
struggled during his final years, nis overall record of excellence is what will be remembered: 408-165-15.
In 1995, Robinson oversaw a rare
loosing season — 5-6. That was followed by a 3-8 year, and there was an NCAA investigation on recruiting violations and four players were arrested for rape.
Suddenly there were calls for Robinson to go. Fans said hed lost touch with the modern game and the young players.
Robinson's teams had only eight losing seasons and won 17 Seutwestern Athletic Conference titles and nine national black college championships. He was inducted into every hall of fame for which he was eligible, and received honorary degrees from several universities, including Yale.
As pressure mounted for him to step aside, even then-Gov. Mike Foster campaigned to give him one last season so he could try to go out a winner. But that final season again produced a 3-8 record.
Robinson began his storied career at Grambling with no paid assistants, no groundkeepers, no trainers and little in the way of equipment. He lined the field himself and fixed lunchmeat sandwiches for road trips because the players could not eat in the "white only" restaurants of the South.
Somehow, he never seemed bitter when recalling these experiences.

of scrimmage and speared Sharp before he could even dream about the goal line. Immediately after making the play, Talib pumped his arms and screamed. The rest of the defense responded by jumping up and down and joining the celebration.
Talib's goal is to provide that kind of spark for the team. He can't do that unless he continues to play like the All Big 12 performer he was last season.
To ensure success, Talib added about 10 pounds of muscle and worked on keeping low during game situations. He also said experience
from the last two seasons would help him.
"Every year I come back the game starts slowing down," he said. "This year it's slowing down even more."
Talib could also get a few more chances on the offensive side this season. Last year he lined up as a wide receiver a few times and caught one pass for 42 yards. Talib, who played both ways in high school, expects more chances this season in new coordinator Ed Warinner's uptempo offense.
Increased time on offense will give Talib the chance to improve the
Jayhawks' passing attack, which is ranked ninth in the Big 12. It also means he'll be able to provide a spark and leadership for both sides of the ball — and his offensive teammates can't wait.
"Aqib's a good guy," Sharp said. "I think we're going to use him in any way. He's one of the best playmakers on the field."

Kansas City Royals' Alex Gordon splinters his bat on a ground out to the pitcher in a game with the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday.
Schilling helps Red Sox win
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — J.D. Drew and Mike Lowell hit back-to-back doubles in a three-run first inning and Josh Beckett held Kansas City to two hits through five chilly innings Wednesday night, leading the Boston Red Sox past the Royals 7-1.
Kevin Youkilis added a two-run home run off reliever Todd Wellemeyer in the seventh to make it 6-1 as the temperature dipped to 39 degrees.
Beckett (1-0) allowed a two-out double to Mark Teaken in the first and a two-out double to Ross Gload in the fourth. He had five strike-outs and four walks while delivering Boston's first win after Curt Schilling faltered in Monday's season opener.
After giving up three runs in the
first, Odalis Perez (0-1) retired 13 of 15 before walking Manny Ramirez with one out in the sixth. After Drew singled, rookie Joakim Soria made his major league debut and surrendered a sacrifice fly to Jason Varitek that put the Red Sox on top 4-1.
Drew's RBI double in the first was followed by Lowell's two-run double.
Jason LaRue had a sacrifice fly for the Royals in the fourth.
It's been a rough two games for Royals rookie third baseman Alex Gordon. The 2006 minor league player of the year is 0-for-7 with four strikeouts and hasn't hit a ball out of the infield.
Beckett had to work himself out of a jam in the third inning after the normally sure-handed Lowell made fielding errors on consecutive ground balls to third. Lowell also had a throwing error with two outs in the ninth.
Mark Teahen, after being ahead 3-0, struck out on a 3-2 pitch and Mike Sweeney hit a slicing line drive into right-center which Drew ran down to end the inning.
Lowell's six errors in 2005 tied the NL record for fewest by a third baseman with at least 135 games played, and his .977 fielding percentage coming into the season was tops among major league third baseman with at least 1,000 games.
Julio Lugo had an RBI single for Boston in the eighth.
Notes: The Royals placed RHP closer Octavio Dotel on the 15-day DL with a strained muscle on his left side. ... RHP David Riske will close in his absence.
... The game-time temperature of 42 degrees was more than 30 degrees colder than the reading for Monday afternoon's sunny season opener. ... The only other time Lowell had two errors in an inning was on July 1, 2005.

Injuries compromise Wizards' playoff chances
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Down went Gilbert Arenas. And with him, in all likelihood, went the Washington Wizard's hopes of achieving much of anything in the playoffs this season.
Arenas sprained his left knee in a collision with Gerald Wallace in the first quarter of Wednesday night's 108-100 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats. The three-time All-Star will have an MRI exam on Thursday to determine the extent of the damage, but the recovery time from such injuries is usually measured in weeks, not days.
The Wizards earlier this week lost All-Star forward Caron Butler to a broken his hand, and they are 2-9 this season when he doesn't play. Butler is expected to miss at least six weeks, meaning he will play again only if Washington advances deep into the playoffs.
He was just standing there, settling into rebounding position as Wallace drove baseline. When Wallace threw up one of those incredible, off-balance reverse layups, he crashed inadvertently into the left leg of the Wizards' guard.

Games against teams like Kansas Wesleyan don't do much for Kansas' RPI, but they can certainly be confidence boosters for the freshmen.
Coach Ritch Price called the game a "freshman game" and gave three of his freshman hurlers the opportunity for some positive reinforcement.
During the 11-4 drubbing of Kansas Wesleyan, freshman left-hander Wally Marceli, freshman right-hander Thomas Marcin and freshman left-hander Max Ellenbecker all took the mound for the Javhawks.
"Wally needed a start," Price said. "We ran him out there against Wichita State and some of the other national powers like Oral Roberts, so it's good to see him have a chance to go out there and pitch five innings and do well."
Marciel took advantage of his chance to start, tossing five shutout innings, striking out four and allowing only four hits.
Marciel had been off-and-on as of late, giving solid performances against Big 12 competition and struggling against non-conference opponents. In his last four appearances, he pitched a combined three
shutout innings against Oklahoma State and Missouri, but against Northern Colorado and Missouri State, he allowed five runs in 4.2 innings.
"It felt pretty good coming out
strong, throwing the ball for strikes," Marceli said.
Marcin entered the game in the sixth and saw mixed results. While striking out two in 1.2 innings, he also allowed four runs, two of which
Despite the runs surrendered, Marcin showed more control than he had in his two previous outings. In 1.2 combined innings against
earned, on three hits, one walk and two hit batters.
Texas A&M and Northern Colorado, he walked two batters and plunked four more.
"It's good to see Marcin back on the field," Price said. "His bullpins have been good the past couple weeks and he struggled a little bit out there, but I think that's a huge step forward for him."
In seven of Kansas' previous eight games, its pitching staff allowed five or more runs, but Ellenbecker put an end to the skid.
Ellenbecker was the last pitcher Kansas used on Wednesday and he put forth his longest and best performance of the season. He lasted two innings, struck out two and allowed only one hit.
With Marciel and Ellenbecker on track, the team has focused on keeping Marcin's confidence up.
"He knows he's struggling, but he's still working hard out there," Marcel said. "We just keep telling him, 'Don't get frustrated.' You're always going to get frustrated with yourself when you're not pitching up to your potential."

Lopez breaks personal losing streak, leads Denver to victory in his Rockie debut
BY PAT GRAHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Rodrigo Lopez turned to the power of positive thinking as he tried to forget about last season and his major league-leading 18 losses.
All offseason, he concentrated on one thing: winning.
"My mind-set was get a win," the Rockies pitcher said.
The approach worked as Lopez allowed six hits in seven innings for his first victory since last Aug.
17 as the Colorado Rockies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 11-4 on Wednesday.
Matt Holliday backed him with four hits, including his first home run of the season, and four RBIs.
Lopez's confidence needed a boost in his Rockies debut after he lost his final six decisions last year. Acquired from Baltimore in January for two minor league pitchers, Lopez (1-0) viewed the trade as a new beginning, and he gave up two runs — one earned — struck out five and walked none.
"I know I'm capable of doing this," said Lopez, who threw just 76 pitches. "Being on a different field, in a different uniform, your mind is fresh. You forget about what you've done in the past. You want to be here."
Rockies manager Clint Hurdle never would've guessed this was a pitcher who struggled so much last season that he was moved to the bullpen.
"He pitched very well," Hurdle said. "Big first step for him."

Colorado led 4-2 before breaking open the game with seven runs in the eighth off J.D. Durbin, who gave up seven hits in his first big league appearance since Sept. 23, 2004. He left with a season ERA of 94.50.

"We were kicking it around, throwing it around and just not playing very well, and it got out of hand at the end," he said.
Yorvit Torrealba and Jamey Carroll each had three hits and Garrett Atkins and Todd Helton added two hits apiece. Helton also drove in two runs.
Doug Davis (0-1) made his Arizona debut and allowed three first-inning runs — all unearned due to two errors by first baseman Conor Jackson. Davis lasted five innings, allowing eight hits and five walks with six strikeouts.
Jackson also lobbed the ball over the head of third baseman Chad
"The bottom line was I got out pitched," Davis said. "The five walks are inexcusable. It can't happen again."
Eric Byrnes led off the second with a home run that hugged the left-field foul pole. Byrnes had two hits and finished the three-game series with seven hits and four RBIs.

Summitt does it again
Lady Vols win NCAA title for sixth time in coach's history
BY TOM WITHERS ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — As the party wore down in the wee hours Wednesday, Pat Summitt was faced with a tough decision: Get a couple hours of sleep or break down videotape of Tennessee's win over Rutgers. She opted for bed.
"I did not watch tape," she said.
"That might be a first."
A few hours after closing her eyes, Summitt was awakened by a phone call — from President Bush.
Ah, to be a national champion. Again.
Ending a nine-year drought between NCAA titles with a swarming defense and relentless rebounding. Tennessee beat Rutgers 59-46 on Tuesday night, giving the Lady Vols and their Hall of Fame coach a seventh national championship.
The Lady Vols would not be denied this time.
The standard of excellence in women's college basketball, Tennessee hadn't won it all since 1998, losing twice in the semifinals and to Connecticut in the title game in 2000. 2003 and 2004.
"Our banner's going to be in the rafters forever," said a smiling All-American Candace Parker, who scored 17 points. "We've left our mark."
Back in January, Tennessee's players signed a pact, promising each other to give everything they had
for the rest of the season. Now, their names will be permanently etched into the school's record books.
These Lady Vols, like so many before them, made history.
"This has been a team that has been a joy to coach," said a bleary-eved Summitt, clutching a
cup of coffee at Wednesday's news conference. "This is a team that had a great passion for getting it right. This group will always be very special to me. They took ownership of what they wanted to do. They
whose seven titles are second only to John Wooden's 10, is positioned to make another run.
coached themselves. I thought this team was really a team."
"Our banner's going to be in the rafters forever. We've left our mark."
"C'mon," she said. "Why wouldn't I? I'll be back wearing orange next year. I'm coming back to Tennessee."
Tennessee arrived in the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame intent on leaving with more than a souvenir T-shirt. And they're heading back to Knoxville with another trophy for the display case, and a pledge from Parker that she'll be back for her junior season.
Summitt, though, knows how difficult it is to win consecutive championships.
"Its very difficult to repeat," she said. "It will be interesting to see
It might be premature to start thinking about title No. 8. But with the majority of her players back and a crew of high school All-Americans on their way to Knoxville, Summitt,

Tennessee's six others.
The Lady Vols wanted this title — badly. Almost from the outset, they workworked the young Scarlet Knights (27-9), who waited until the final game of an improbable tournament run to show their inexperience.
"Maybe we read the headlines or realized it was a national championship game," said Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer. "We looked like a deer stuck in headlights."
Forward Heather Zurchin said,
"Nothing was clicking."

NASCAIR great Richard Petty signs autographs at the Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Va., on Saturday. Petty said franchising is the only thing keeping NASCAIR from being entirely "legitimate."

"I don't know if I'll live long enough to see it or not, but it will probably happen someday," said the man still widely referred to as "The King." "I think the only thing in my mind that keeps NASCAR from becoming a completely legitimate, major league with golfing or football or baseball or whatever is being franchised."

Dotel, limited to only a handful of appearances the last two years while recovering from reconstructive elbow surgery, had pitched well in spring training after signing a one-year contract.
"From an owner standpoint, I was pushing for franchising years ago when I had my teams because, at the end of the day, we spent millions of dollars and we had an auction and got 10 cents on the dollars for all our parts," he said this week at Richmond International Raceway, where he was testing his car for Robert Yates Racing.
closing, so that's probably the biggest reason why he's in that spot right now," Bell said. "But if we're in a situation where a guy's throwing good going into the ninth, we just might let him pitch the ninth rather than bring in Dave."
"Until it goes away, there's really not a whole lot you can do about it," said Bell. "We don't think it's something that's going to linger."
Bell said the injury is "not a real dangerous issue."
The Royals purchased right-hander Jason Standridge's contract from Triple-A Omaha. To make room for Standridge on the 40-man roster, right-hander Leo Nunez (fractured wrist) was moved from the 15-dav DL to the 60-day.
Rudd, like Kyle Petty, understands the situation as a driver and as an owner.
Owners consider franchising
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals put closer Octavio Dotel on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday because of a strained muscle on his left side.
NASCAR
He's not alone.
"David has had some experience
Standridge has appeared in 76 major league games during his career while pitching for Tampa Bay, Texas and Cincinnati.
The Royals are counting on him to revive a bullpen that blew a major league-high 31 saves last year. The move is retroactive to March 30.
"It was sort of a sad situation because you work, you put all that sweat into it, but it doesn't really get you anything," Rudd said. "It gives you a business for
Right-hander David Riske will take on the role of closer.
"There was no tear of anything like that. It's irritable for him."
he said. "So far, no model has been developed to ensure that the need to perform would remain a team's priority.
"True, side by side competition is at the root of NASCAR," he said, "and it's important to be maintained."
That's a week-to-week concern for some struggling teams.
Bell said an MRI had exposed a "hot spot" on his left, non-throwing side.
The Pettys are, and they're having a tough time. They haven't won a race since 1999 at Martinsville Speedway and have just three victories since the 1983 season. Longtime racing team the Wood Brothers is also struggling, winning five times since the 1983 season.
Although Petty driver Bobby Labonte is 22nd in points and guaranteed a spot in the next race, Kyle Petty is dangerously close to the top 35 cutoff for such guarantees — he's 32nd. The Wood Brothers are outside that top 35.
NASCAR's vice president of racing operations, Steve O'Donnell, said the governing body has considered franchising and discussed it with team owners.
As a driver, Kyle Petty said the 43 fastest cars should make the field.
today but no planning for the future. Man, I'm so tickled that I'm not an owner right now.
"In the business world, there's a totally different set of rules," he said. "Call it sweat equity. We put 60 years in here, and we deserve something back for those 60 years. The Wood Brothers deserve something back for their 50 years."
"The challenge is 'what does a franchise mean?' in our sport and how can it benefit everyone?" O'Donnell said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.
"We are different than the stick and ball sports. Competition, not contracts, dictates whether teams compete week in and week out,"

FAMILY FIRST
Creighton coach changes his mind
BY NOAH TRISTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dana Altman's stint at Arkansas was over in one day.
Altman quit Tuesday, apologizing to Arkansas fans and saying it was in his family's best interest to return to Creighton.
A day earlier, he had been introduced as the Razorbacks' new coach at a news conference that included cheerleaders, a cheering crowd and a traditional "Pig Sooie" call.
"This is one of the shortest chapters and most disappointing chapters in the history of the institution," Arkansas Chancellor John A. White said at a hastily scheduled news conference Tuesday. "But you know this program is strong and is going to be strong in the future. We want to wish the very, very best to Dana Altman and his family."
Altman has coached at Creighton for 13 years and said he decided to return to the Omaha, Neb., school after talking to his wife and Creighton
athletic director Bruce Rasmussen, who agreed to take him back.
"This is something I'm doing for my family," Altman said. "I wish I would have come to that decision earlier."
Altman was hired to replace Stan Heath, whom Arkansas athletic director Frank Broyles fired last week. South Florida hired Heath on Monday.
White did not provide a timetable for a renewed search.
"We'll be engaging the services of a search firm to help us" hire a new coach, White said. "We'll be able to attract a very strong coach to come to the Razorbacks. This program is strong and we're going to be strong in the future."
Arkansas has eyed Texas A&M coach Billy Gillispie and received permission to talk to Memphis coach John Calipari.
Creighton fans gathered outside the Vinardi Center on Tuesday night. Guard Isaac Miles said the players were excited about Altman's return.

Beilein leaves W. Virginia to coach Michigan
The Michigan Wolverines will present perhaps his toughest task.
Less than a week after leading West Virginia to the NIT championship, Beilein accepted an offer to come to Ann Arbor and revive a program that made its last NCAA tournament appearance in 1998.
Michigan planned to introduce Beilein at a news conference on Wednesday in Ann Arbor.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Sometimes good things come to an end," Beilein told a news conference Tuesday in Morgantown, W.Va., after accepting Michigan's offer earlier in the day. "It's time for me to do new things at a new university."
Beilein has taken teams without great talent to five NCAA tournaments and six NIT appearances in 29 seasons.
Beilein took the job despite not visiting Michigan's campus. He'd never been in Morgantown, either, before leaving Richmond for West
When he arrived at West Virginia in April 2002, the Mountaineers were coming off an 8-20 season in which Gale Catlett ended a 24-year career three weeks early in disgust over his team's poor performance and lack of pride.
Beilstein's teams made deep runs in the NCAA tournament the previous two seasons and the Mountaineers beat Clemson 78-73 for the NIT title last week.
Beitlein went 104-60 at West Virginia, including 27-9 this year despite losing his top four scorers from a year ago. Only one other team in school history won more games — a Jerry West-led team that lost to California in the NCAA championship game in 1959.
"I'm taking a leap of faith — again," he said.
The 54-year-old Beilein is the second straight Big East coach to take over at Michigan and is certain to face high expectations. The Wolverines fired Tommy Amaker in mid-March after the former Seton Hall coach's sixth season without an NCAA bid.
Virginia.
The Wolverines went to the NIT three times in the past four years. They haven't made the NCAAs since 1998.
"I am excited about this new opportunity at Michigan," Beilein said. "I wouldn't go there if I didn't think they could win a national championship."
It will cost Michigan $2.5 million to buy out Beilein at West Virginia, plus perhaps about $1 million a season in a multiyear contract and $900,000 to Amaker for firing him without cause. He declined to discuss terms of his Michigan contract.
Tune-ups
He leaves behind a promising team that loses only top scorer Frank Young and center Rob Summers.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka, of Japan, steps onto the field at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., on Sunday as members of the Japanese media record his every step. Matsuzaka is scheduled to make his major league debut today when the Red Sox play the Kansas City Royals.
Dice-K debuts amid media throng
BY DAVE SKRETTA ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Red Sox reliever Hideki Okajima only made it a couple of steps out of the visitor's clubhouse before the throng of Japanese media descended upon him. Reporters shouted questions, camera crews captured every move.
The scene surrounding Boston's rookie earlier this week is a toned-down version of what's expected on Thursday, when Daisuke Matsuzaka makes his major league debut against the Kansas City Royals.
"He's definitely the real deal!
said former Royals pitcher Kyle Snyder, now with the Red Sox. "I was impressed from Day One. He's very serious about his job."
So much so that Matsuzaka has a policy of not speaking to reporters the day before he pitches. And if anybody in the Royals starting lineup has him figured out, they sure weren't willing to tell anyone.
"From what I hear, he's got really outstanding stuff, command of several pitches," Mark Grudzielanek said. "It's great for the game to have somebody come in with all the buildup."
The 26-year-old with the catchy name Dice-K is generating plenty
of buzz in a city where opening day often is the only sellout and interest in the Royals routinely wanes by early lune.
Boston pitching coach John Farrell doesn't anticipate a huge crowd and about 200 members of the media including 127 from Japan to cause much of a stir for a young man who has been in the public view for years.
Farrell also isn't worried about the fatigue Matsuzaka experienced late in spring training, saying he felt good after a bullpen session on Tuesday. Farrell's only concern is an expected gametime temperature in the low
50s.
"He has pitched in cold weather. It's been on rare occasions because their home ballpark was a dome," Farrell said. "But the one great thing about pitching on a cold day is the warmest guy in the field is the starting pitcher."
And if you consider the intense spotlight Matsuzaka has been under since arriving in Kansas City, he should already be plenty warm.
Royals officials convinced Red Sox manager Terry Francona to let them know in advance when Dice-K would be pitching so they could be better prepared for the media.
NFL
Broncos attempt to woo punter
BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — The Broncos agreed to a one-year deal with free agent Todd Sauerbrun on Tuesday, bringing the troubled punter back to the team that released him last season.
Sauerbrun's agent, David Canter, said the deal could be worth more than the $1.395 million Sauerbrun was due to make in Denver in 2006 before being jettisoned by the Broncos.
The New E ng l a nd D Patriots have a week to match the incentive-laden offer.
Sauerbrun started last season with Denver but lost his job while serving four years.
were the only team to give him an opportunity last year when a lot of other teams wouldn't."
"Todd feels like Denver is a place where he has unfinished business. And he also feels a lot of admiration for the Patriots."
Sauerbrun, a 13-year veteran who also kicks off, has a career punting average of 44 yards with a net average of 36. He made the Pro Bowl three straight times, between 2001 and 2003, when he was with the Carolina Panthers.
Sauerbrun said he knowingly took an over-the-counter weight loss product last summer that he
suspension for using the banned dietary supplement ephedra.
DAVID CANTER
Todd Sauerbrun's agent
When no other team offered him as much as a look, he suggested he was being blackballed by the league. The Patriots signed him just before Christmas and he punted for them through the playoffs.
If New England declines to match Denver's offer, Sauerbrun would compete with last year's starter, Paul Ernster.
Sauerbrun has said hed like to return to Denver but also feels a debt of gratitude to New England.
"Todd feels like Denver is a place where he has unfinished business," Canter said. "And he also feels a lot of admiration for the Patriots, who
strongly suspected contained ephedra, which the NFL banned after the death of Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Korey Stringer during training camp in 2001. Players are randomly
tested and can be suspended after the first violation.
That drew the ire of Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, who said the punter is the only player on the team who can be fat as far as he was concerned.
Sauerbrun, who packs 215 pounds on his beefy 5-foot-10 frame and who was fined by the Panthers for eating too much, said at the time that he worries about his weight all the time.
He also said he especially regretted letting down Shanahan, who gave him a fresh start after a trouble-filled stint in Carolina, and that he hoped he could make it up to him someday.

Mets sweep World Series champions
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — John Maine kept the St. Louis Cardinals' bats quiet and Carlos Beltran homered twice and drove in four runs, helping the New York Mets sweep the World Series champions with a 10-0 victory Wednesday night.
Jose Reyes also homered and had
three RBIs for the Mets, who were 8-1 to start last season en route to an NL-high 97 wins before they were eliminated by the Cardinals in the NLCS. The season-opening series is for much lower stakes, of course, although the Mets were able to spoil a pair of World Series celebrations while outsourcing the Cardinals 20-2.

cipitious drop from the opener on Sunday night when it was 72 degrees. They started a season 3-0 for the first time since 1994, when they won three straight at Chicago.
Braden Looper's first major league start after 572 relief appearances was a bright spot for the Cardinals, who started 0-3 for the first time since 2001.
$3.75
(Originally $5.50)
The Cardinals were 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position in the series and the lone hit, a single by Preston Wilson in the opener, did not produce a run because Beltran's strong throw from center field caught David Eckstein trying to score from second.
The last time the Cardinals lost three straight at home to start the season was in 1969, the year after they lost a seven-game World Series to Mickey Lolich and the Detroit Tigers.

Looper, who saved 57 games for the Mets in 2004 and '05, didn't allow a runner in scoring position until the sixth when Beltran hit a two-run homer just inside the right-field foul pole. Shawn Green added an RBI single for a 3-0 lead.

Wilson committed a two-base error when he missed pinch-hitter Julio Franco's fly to right in the Mets' five-run eighth, the Cardinals' third outfield miscue in the series.
Maine, who capped his rookie season by beating the Cardinals in Game 6 of the NLCS, retired the first 12 batters. Scott Rolen singled softly to left and Jim Edmonds walked to open the fifth before Maine recovered to retire nine of the last 10.
Maine struck out six, fanning Chris Duncan and Wilson twice each. Edmonds drew a second walk with two outs in the seventh.

Short hitters can't contend
W
BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chris O'Meara/ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods doesn't own the lowest score on the back nine at Augusta National, nor the most memorable. But that 30 he posted in the first round in 1997 sent him to a record-setting victory at the Masters that ultimately changed many things.
Starting with the golf course.
"There were two par 5s, and I could handle those," Woods recalled. "No. 17 was short at the time. No. 11 was short at the time. No. 14 was short at the time, only a 3-wood and a sand wedge."
Tiger Woods smiles on the putting green during practice for the 2007 Masters golf tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., on Wednesday. First round play begins today.
There is nothing short about Augusta National now except the distance between the practice green and the first tee. The course has been stretched more than a quarter-mile since Woods' first victory, and each change seems to reduce the number of realistic contenders.
With each hole description, his smile grew wider until he was in full laughter.
That explains why Woods and Phil Mickelson have won five of the last six Masters and are the heavy favorites when the 71st edition of this tournament begins Thursday.
And maybe that's why some of the shorter hitters wonder if they're only here to smell the flowers.
The annual assumption is that only a dozen or so guys can think about a green jacket, a familiar list of power players that range from Ernie Els to Vijay Singh, from Henrik Stenson to Geoff Olgivy.
Woods and Mickelson probably have never had a conversation in the champions locker room like the one that took place early this week downstairs where the regulars hang out.
Paul Goydos hasn't been to the Masters in 11 years, and he was asking Scott Verplank what club he hit into a certain hole. Verplank never gave him a chance to say which hole, probably because it didn't matter.
"Wood," he replied.
Verplank qualified for this Masters by finishing among the top 16 a year ago. And he was quick to point out that Tim Clark was the runner-up to Mickelson, and Chris DiMarco gave Woods all he could handle the year before that.
guys all hit the ball farther than I do. I was playing a practice round with Davis Love III, and he's launching it 300 yards to the top of the hill on the first hole. I'm just hoping I can see the green."
Along with adding yardage, Augusta National has tried to restore accuracy by adding trees.
"It can be done," Verplank said. "But it does put a handful of guys at a much greater advantage, and those

PARENTING
Stations created for breast feeding
In an ice pack filled cooler in the trunk of Blythe Glemming's car lies chilled breast milk she pumped hours earlier.
BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
Glemming, Oklahoma City graduate student, has been using the Burge Union lactation station for the past two months, which has helped her save time, ensure privacy and
keep a good supply of milk for her son, born on Dec. 10, 2006.
Similar to the Burge lactation station, Kathy Rose-Mockry's office has been used as a lactation station four times since the stations opened earlier this semester.
"I need all the time I can get," she said. "It's really worth it."
There are several lactation stations on campus where students and faculty can nurse their children or express their milk. Users should call a couple of weeks ahead of time to ensure the room's availability.

Best friends on a path toward life at convents
CONTRIBUTED BY KRISTIN KENNALLEY
by Nicole Korman
Eight years ago, Nicole Habashy sat in her high school honors English class passing notes to a guy one seat away. She didn't know it then, but the person who sat between her and her crush was her future best friend. Kristin Kennalley was quiet and Habashy was loud. Habashy introduced herself and invited Kennalley to a party at her sister's house. After talking at the party, the two clicked. Neither woman ever expected their friendship to lead to a shared passion for religious life.
Habashy, Wichita junior, says that when she and Kennalley first became friends, neither thought they would enter the religious life. Both were rebellious teens with other plans for the future. Habashy thought one day she would be a CEO and Kennalley
wanted to teach physics.
"Kristen thought about being a nun first, and then I saw how happy and peaceful she was and that helped me with my decision." "Habashy says.
Kennalley, Wichita senior, first thought about becoming a nun when she was in fourth grade. Then, after attending a Catholic college for two years, she transferred to the University of Kansas to experience life outside of Catholic schools. She also studied in Rome, where her desire to become a nun became more assured."The more I get to know myself, the more I see it as a desire in my heart," Kennalley says.
Habashy says she didn't think about becoming a nun until later in life. When she was little, she always saw herself getting married and having 12
children. "Big families always seemed more fun than smaller families," Habashy says. "They can entertain themselves." But by becoming a nun, Habashy realizes she will be able to touch more lives than she would with a family of her own.
Habashy says her time at KU has strengthened her desire to become a nun. She's learned from the sisters at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, 1631 Crescent Rd., that nuns are regular people with their own struggles. Habashy, like other nuns before they took their vows, has gone on dates, but says nothing ever worked out the way she thought it would. "My biggest complaint was I didn't think anyone could reciprocate the intensity of my affection," she says.
Father Zachary, a priest
at St. Lawrence, says there's something special about Habashy and Kennalley. He says most women on campus would never have thought of becoming a nun, let alone taken the steps to visit a religious community. He believes what they are doing is countercultural and that their support for each other is what helps them through their journey in faith. "The hardest part for them is going to be to keep looking forward and to not get distracted by well-meaning people," he says.
Together, Habashy and Kennalley have visited religious orders in New York and other places around the country, and each woman is looking for an order to fit her own personality. There are things that they're going to have to give up when
they become nuns and join their separate orders, but their friendship is not one of them. Kennalley jokingly says she will miss her iPod and Habashy will have to give up smoking cigarettes. Both agree that giving up men and marriage will be difficult.
Kennallay says her experience in Rome helped ease her fears of leaving her friends and family."I don't have anything to lose, just everything to gain," she says.
For Habashy, Kennalley's experience also proved to her that their friendship would last forever. Habashy says that the two only talked twice while Kennalley was in Rome, but she felt closer to her because she knew they had an unspoken bond.
"They have a deeper friendship; it's a spiritual one."
Kristin Kennalley and Nicole Habashy plan on joining convents after they graduate.
Father Zachary says.
Asfortheirfamilies,thewomen say they are slowly coming to terms with their decisions. "My parents are starting to realize that I'm serious about this decision, but it will take time for them to come around," Habashy says. Kennalley says her parents became very supportive of her after they saw how happy she was in Rome.
Habashy and Kennalley will soon give up going on dates and passing notes to guys, but they say they'll never give up their friendship. "It helps to have a friend like Nicole to talk to who understands what I'm going through," Kennalley says.

Partygoers describe how themes transform house parties into something memorable

Annie Greer walked into a room full of Cowboys and realized she was the only Indian. Dressed in a feathered headband, face paint and a bright red shirt, Greer, Boulder, Colo., senior, quickly became an easy target for the darts shot by all of the Cowboys in the room. Luckily, she had a bow that fired arrow darts, so she fought back despite the overwhelming odds.

Theme parties are a way for students to break up their typical weekend routine and do something different with their friends. They also allow people to connect over a common interest, says Sharon Brimmer, creator of the party planning Web site themepartiesnmore.com. Many themes, such as decades or pop culture, bring back memories, and this nostalgic aspect helps people come together, she says.
Use subtle and prominent decorations to carry the theme throughout.
→ Prepare ahead of time so you can have fun at the party, too.
When picking a theme, it helps to look around and think about options that are easy to carry out, Brimmer says. Books, movies, colors, pop culture, seasons and time periods all make for good theme ideas. Resist the temptation to be lazy and use cliché themes, such as the toga party, that have been done too many times already. Let your mind wander and choose something that is personally interesting. As long as people are excited about it, the party will be a success, she says.

can be a theme." Brimmer says. "It just depends on the mood or message you want to convey."
The "Cowboys and Indians" party had a rowdy mood, but Greer says every theme party she's been to has had its own atmosphere. She's attended "80s Prom." "Anything but Clothes," "Tacky Christmas Party," "Black, White and Shiny" (a New Year's Eve party), "Nerds" and "Eurotrash" parties. Most of the theme parties have let her and her friends act like kids again, especially the "Nerds" party because everyone was asked to bring something for "Show and Tell," she says. One of her favorite parties was "Anything but Clothes" because everyone got really into it and had creative outfits, she says. One of her girl friends wore only strategically placed stickers, and two of her girl friends wore feather boas. Greer wore wrapping paper.
"It was fun to see wh everyone came up with," she says. "Every time one of our friends would walk into the party we would all crack up because of what they were wearing, especially when one of my guy friends walked in wearing a trash bag as a man thong."
It's important to have a theme that both sexes can dress for that's out of the ordinary but not too specific, Greer says. The "Eurotrash" party she went to was a bad theme because no one understood what they were supposed to wear. Most people just wore clothing that clashed, Greer says.
Joe Slattery, St. Louis junior, agrees that the theme needs to be creative but easy enough to dress for. Slattery and his three roommates hosted "Rumble in the Jungle," "CEO's and Office Hos," "Naked in the Snow" and "Play in the Hay" theme parties last year. It took some trial and error and a lot of effort to plan and host a successful theme party, but Slattery says the theme parties were more fun than other house parties they had because their friends got more involved.

The only party they had
"Play in the Hay." For decoration, Slattery and his roommates covered the floors of their house with hay. Some of the guests were so allergic to the hay that they had to leave the party, and it was a mess to clean up the next day.
"The hay was bad news, but we still joke about it." Slattery says. "The band that played still refers to it as the 'Black Snot' party because of how it affected people."
One of their more successful parties was "Naked in the Snow" because it was easy to dress for. Most people showed up in swimsuits or underwear and wore snow boots, scarves, gloves, goggles and hats. Slattery says. Some women see theme parties as an excuse to come scantily clad, but Slattery found that more girls dressed up for their
"Some girls take themes in a sexual way regardless of whether it's 'Pimps and Hos' or not, but if the theme is more random, such as our 'Play in the Hay' party, girls will still dress sexy but they won't feel put on the spot," he says.
Terra Cummings, Sioux Falls, S.D., junior,says she prefers random themes to those aimed at making girls wear skimpy clothes. Theme parties are better than regular house parties because people get into character, play a role and get to wear something they don't wear every day, she says.
parties when the theme wasn't blatantly sexual.
"I've never gotten dressed up for a theme party and had a bad time," she says. "They've always been hilarious and fun."
Cummings has attended "Ugly Sweater," "Prom," "Pairs" and "Wear the Ugliest Thing You Can Find" themed parties. For the "Wear the Ugliest Thing You
Can Find" party, Cummings and a friend came up with the theme while shopping at thrift shops on Massachusetts Street. They kept joking about buying odd and hideous items of clothing and decided that it would make a good theme, she says. One of Cummings's girl friends wore a purple jumpsuits, and one of her guys friends drew himself a fake mustache and wore mechanic overalls and a mullet wig. Not many people showed up because they planned the party only a few days before, but Cummings says it was still fun because she and her friends really got into the theme and took plenty of silly pictures together.
Although Cummings enjoyed the theme parties where all the guests were her close friends, she says that large theme parties are an easy way to meet people and are less awkward than regular house parties.
"Everyone has the same vibe at theme parties, so it's not intimidating to approach strangers when they're wearing ridiculous outfits," Cummings says. "You always have something to talk about and everyone is at the same level."
As for the uneven battle between the Cowboys and Greer, the two sides fought with plastic toy weapons and chased each other through the host's house. They had to stop because they ran out of darts and were laughing too hard to continue. Other Indians eventually arrived and evened out the costume distribution, but Greer says she didn't mind everyone else ganging up against her. Everyone dressed up and had a much better time playing than if they were just standing around drinking. That's what makes theme parties fun and successful, she says.

OLIVE OIL: NO LONGER CONFINED TO THE KITCHEN
One product that can soften your cuticles, condition your hair, moisture your body, diminish sun damage to your skin and serve as a shaving product is sitting in your kitchen.
Extra virgin olive oil, rich in vitamins and antioxidants, helps soften skin without leaving behind clogged pores, extra grease or an overwhelming scent, says Alex Fiori, owner of Salon Di Marco & Day Spa, 733 Massachusetts St.
for inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, she says.
Fiori, a native of Italy, where people have been lathering up with olive oil for hundreds of years, says when it comes to at-home beauty remedies, our grandmothers were ahead of their time. Vitamin-rich olive oil has also proven to be a successful treatment
By simply carrying that bottle of olive oil from the kitchen to the bathroom, you can cut down on the money spent purchasing multiple bath and beauty products. Instead of using shaving creams, gels or soaps, spread olive oil on your skin before shaving to prevent over drying or irritation of the skin as a result of the razor's exfoliating action. Also, after massaging a few tablespoons of olive oil into your hair, Fiori says to let it sit for up to an hour before shampooing to help repair split ends and eliminate dandruff by softening the scalp.

that's disgusting
SWIMMING CAN MAKE YOU SICK
Germs in pools and natural bodies of water put swimmers at risk for eye, skin, stomach and respiratory problems.
Don't be fooled by the clear blue of a sparkling spring lake or a newly opened pool. Contaminants from rainwater runoff, sewage and human and animal waste can pollute these waters enough to cause diarrhea, infections and rashes if you swallow the water, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Always shower before getting into the water. Your butt has about 0.14 grams of feces on it (even after wiping), which can contaminate public pool water. Though pools are chlorinated,
it takes up to an hour for chlorine to disinfect the pool. Some bacteria that cause diarrhea take longer to kill. You only have to swallow a small amount of tainted water to be at risk for diarrhea.
It is especially important to avoid swallowing natural water because it is not chemically treated. Avoid swimming after rainfalls because the rain can move animal droppings on land into the water.
And please, don't pee in the pool.

HOW WE met
100%
On again, off again
Ashley Guerrero, Topea junior, and Richardo Becerra, Kansas City sophomore, spoke briefly at the new student orientation in 2004. They met again at the University block party and became friends through HAWK Link activities and by working together at The Market in the Kansas Union. The following summer they had a week-long fling, but Becerra says he had mixed feelings about getting back with Guerrero.
"At one point in time, I didn't like her," he says. "At other points in time, she was my best friend."
Becerra eventually came around and he and Guerrero have been dating for two months.

FIGHTING THE FEAR
Where phobias come from and how they can be treated
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION/SARAH LEONARD
by Lindsey St. Clair
I remember standing there as my preschool classmate, a pale-faced boy about 4 years old, walked up and started talking to my teacher. What he said was inaudible, but I've never
been able to
forget what
happened next:
He vomited all
over a pint-sized
wooden chair.
It looked like
melted cookies-
and-cream ice
cream. I never
sat in one of
those chairs in my classroom again.
Since that day in preschool, I've had a fear of vomit, a phobia clinically known as emetaphobia.
Ten percent of Americans have a phobia of some kind,
BEING AFRAID OF SOMETHING IS NORMAL, BUT A PHOBIA IS AN EXCESSIVE AND UNJUSTIFIED FEAR THAT INTERFERES WITH A PERSON'S ABILITY TO FUNCTION SOCIALLY.
says Steve Ilardi, associate professor of psychology. Being afraid of something is normal, but a phobia is an excessive and unjustified fear that interferes with a person's ability to function
socially.
People who have phobias tend to become anxious and fearful when they're around a particular object or situation, or they try to avoid that object or
situation completely, says David Holmes, professor of psychology. "These are real fears that really disrupt people's lives," he says.
My heart races whenever I see, hear or smell vomit, or if the arrival of vomit is imminent (as when someone is sick or
extremely drunk). I get a feeling in my stomach like I'm on a roller coaster, and I tense up and break into a nervous sweat.
Patroiophobia:
Fear of heredity
There are at least three different ways to develop a phobia, llardi says. In some cases, phobias develop spontaneously. There is also evidence to suggest phobias are related to genetics and can be inherited. Identical twins are more likely to share a phobia than paternal twins, and people who are adopted are more likely to share phobias with their biological parents than with their adoptive parents, llardi says.
Sophophobia:
Fear of learning
In other cases, phobias can
be "learned," or picked up from a trusted individual who has a phobia. Iardi once treated a patient who developed muriphobia — a fear of rodents — after seeing her mother jump on the family's kitchen table when a mouse came in the room. From that moment on, he says, she was terrified of mice.
Phobophobia:
Fear of fear
Phobias can also be classically conditioned if a stimulus is paired with a fear one or more times and the two become connected. Ordinarily it takes a number of trials to classically condition a response, but if the experience is very powerful, you can get what's called one-trial conditioning, Holmes says.
When Shawn Lillig. Basehier senior, was 15 years old, he
bought an amplifier for his band. The first time he stepped up to the microphone, he felt an electric shock in his teeth that knocked him to the ground. Now he uses a towel, book or broomstick to flip on metal light switches, and pulling chains to turn on light bulbs makes him woozy, he says. He also uses a wooden spoon to retrieve Pop Tarts from his toaster.
Trophobia:
Fear of doctors
Phobias can be treated through a process known as graded exposure, which has a success rate of over 90 percent, llardi says. First, the most upsetting triggers or features of the object or situation are identified. Then, a psychologist can construct a hierarchy of stimuli, starting with something
that is uncomfortable but not traumatizing. "You might put a snake in a box outside my door and slowly but surely, over the course of a number of trials, bring it in until I'm sitting there petting it," he says.
Exposure-based treatment is not as bad as it sounds. "People are usually thinking you do like a Fear Factor and make them just overwhelmed with exposure, and it's not that at all," ilardi says.
Whenever people complain of nausea or a stomach ache, I flee. When my roommate had the flu last year, I had to stay at a friend's place. I also get really anxious around people who are drinking. I have a few friends familiar with my condition who lead me away when they see people getting sick or looking suspicious, but I think I might need to look into graded exposure.

PUT UP YOUR DUKES by Dani Hurst
A guide to understanding the silent language of hands.
Your hands are talking about you and you probably don't even know it. They're saying all kinds of things, blabbing about your secrets. But don't feel betrayed — this is completely normal. By examining your gestures, physical
characteristics, handwriting and palms, experts can analyze, with a certain degree of accuracy aspects of your current state of mind, health and personality. They can even delve into the secrets of your destiny.
Not so idle hands
Two of the most basic gestures are the palms-down and palm-up poses, which reveal a lot about a person's confidence level and conviction. The palms-down stance is one of assertion and domination, Givens says. It conveys stubbornness: Politicians often use a palms-down hand position to project confidence during speeches and debates. The palms-up position, on the other hand, is a softer and friendlier gesture. It is related to the shoulder
One of the primary ways experts can assess an individual is by studying hand movements and gestures. Hands in motion are a dead giveaway of what a person is feeling at any given moment to an expert like David Givens, director of the Center for Nonverbal Studies and author of The Nonverbal Dictionary, though stationary hands are just as telling, he says. Hands are naturally expressive because they are so in-tune with what the rest of the body is doing and feeling, Givens says.
"The brain is making everything happen," Givens says. "By looking at the movements of the hand, you can open a window into the brain."
"THE HUMAN HAND IS A GREAT FIDGETER, IT RARELY EVER STAYS STILL"
— DAVID GIVENS, DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER FOR NONVERBAL STUDIES
Fidgeting is also easily analyzed, and, according to Givens, a natural behavior for everyone.
shrug and projects a level of uncertainty. It is a pleading sign that opens up a connection with an audience and allows the speaker to ask for a little help. Like the shrug, it's a type of crouching pose used to cower away from danger, or, perhaps in this case, just a dangerous conversation. Basic gestures like these are universal, Givens says, which is why they are so easily understood, interpreted and mimicked.
"The human hand is a great fidgeter," Givens says. "It rarely ever stays still."
And these movements, like the ones accompanying speech, have meanings behind them: fidgeting usually conveys nervousness, anxiety and stress. The most common type of fidgeting is known as "self-touching," a built-in consolation mechanism. It works by diverting attention away from the pain or stress
10→ JAYPLAY 04.05.2007
of one part of the body by stimulating another part of the body. Givens cites the example of a person rubbing a spot that is sore or has just been injured. "It doesn't make the pain go away," he says."You just make the pain compete for attention."
Givens puts this idea in context for University students, setting the scene with a professor questioning a student in front of a large class. The student will hesitate at first, Givens says, and will then probably touch his or her neck before answering. This self-touching is a way for the student to draw attention away from the source of the stress, almost like performing acupuncture or hugging himself.
Regardless of the ultimate message, Givens says it's always better to use gestures than not. Gestures help animate the words you're speaking and help the audience remember important points. They express personality as well, and make a conversation more personable.

Resie Palm and her fire friends
Look at your hand. Turn it over and follow the lines of your fingers and palm. Most likely, you can't read the information that's written there: the number of children you might have, how many relationships you'll be involved in, and if you'll ever find your perfect career. That is where Ellie Crystal comes in. Crystal, a New York-area intuitive researcher and co-author of Sarah and Alexander: The
Alchemy of Time, says that a palm print is a theoretical blueprint of a person's life experiences.
"Every single thing that you do — who you are — is on your hand," Crystal says. "If you know how to properly read a palm, you can know a person's destiny."
Everything about the hand is important, Crystal says. She assesses the presence or absence of certain lines on the palm, the
depth of these lines and the length of the fingers. And instead of using the standard method of simply examining a client's palm, Crystal uses ink prints of her clients' palms to make a more detailed and accurate reading. She takes the client's dominant hand — the one with which he or she writes — rolls black ink on the palm and makes two prints. The first always turns out darker and
the second one lighter, allowing Crystal to make a more accurate reading.
There are four main lines on the palm: the heart line, the head line, the life line and the career line.
While these are the four main lines of the palm, Crystal says that the lines appear over time. Younger people have not fully developed yet, so they will most likely have less defined lines, and some lines
might still be absent.
Your fingers are also very telling, Crystal says.She takes into account everything from the length of each finger and relative size to the amount of space between the fingers of an open palm. Each finger, like the lines of the palm, has its own classification: thumb (Venus), index (Jupiter), middle (Saturn), ring (Apollo) and pinky (Mercury).
The heart line, which is the topmost crease, identifies your sensibilities and reveals things like whether you are overly romantic or controlling in a relationship. The branches at the end (toward the pinky) show the number of marriages one is likely to have, while ovals along the line indicate breakups and romantic challenges.
The head line is the next crease down from the heart line, and it shows your potential for education and intelligence. If, for instance, it stretches all the way across the palm, Crystal says that means you will attend and finish college (so look closely, seniors).
The life line starts between your index finger and thumb, and curves around the thumb. Crystal says this line indicates length of life and whether you will face any major obstacles.

The fate or career line, which goes straight from the base of the middle finger to the wrist, reveals whether you will find a job in your desired field. Crystal says that not everyone has a chosen career and that the career line is especially absent from younger people's palms. Your passion for your career shows in both the depth and the width of this line.
The thumb, or Venus, is first in line and can reveal a person's capacity for flexibility. If it's straight and vertical, then you are more stubborn and unyielding. If the thumb bends more, then you are more subtle and forgiving.
WHAT YOUR FINGERS SAY ABOUT YOU
The index finger, or Jupiter, is what Crystal refers to as the most important finger of the five. This finger reveals your strength in life, as well as self-esteem, leadership, organization and even punctuality. If it's longer than the ring finger, Crystal says that you are strong and determined.lf however, it's shorter, then you are more easily bossed around and you don't stand up for yourself often.
The middle finger, or Saturn, comes next in line and, among other things, speaks to your potential in the business world. A long Saturn finger indicates that you work well with numbers and are serious
about finances. A shorter Saturn finger tells Crystal that you are a little riskier, especially with money.
The ring finger, or Apollo, finger represents an individual's creativity. If you have an Apollo finger that is longer than the Saturn finger, you are a person that is inclined to enjoy the arts and you are a more romantic individual. A shorter Apollo finger is indicative of self-motivation but can also denote a selfish nature.
And last, but not least, is the pinkie finger, or Mercury. This finger, though small, is important to those who take communication seriously. It can indicate, for instance, whether you are a good writer by how long it is in relation to the Apollo finger: If Mercury does not reach or barely reaches the top line of the Apollo finger, you are probably not a naturally good writer. Crystal says that of all the great writers and directors she's met, they have all had especially long Mercury fingers.

The write stuff
Almost everyone here at the University can remember time spent in middle school, when nothing was written in anything other than cursive. Some teachers even said that in high school cursive was the only acceptable form of writing and nothing could be turned in written in print. Almost everyone here also probably remembers the first time they found out that this was a huge lie. Once in high school — and now in college — many students discovered that as long as their handwriting was legible, teachers were happy to accept writing in either form. Most people kicked the cursive habit once out of junior high, but the methods of teaching students how to write in cursive are pretty uniform across the board.
now it differs from the standards originally taught. A handwriting sample can tell a lot about a person, says Dan Aldridge, a handwriting analyst.
This is important when looking at graphoanalysis (handwriting analysis) because it's a science based on variation. Essentially, it's a field of study that reveals facets of people's personalities by investigating their handwriting and analyzing
"People learn handwriting basically the same," Aldridge says. "It's the deviations you make that give away the clues we need."
The best handwriting samples are written in cursive. "Cursive flows better," Aldridge says. "It's freer and allows your true self to come out."
There are 108 basic traits of handwriting,but not everyone expresses all of them, Aldridge says. Two of the main characteristics are pressure and slant.
Pressure is the amount of force exerted on the writing utensil, and it can both measure physical energy and gauge a person's senses. For instance, a person who exerts more pressure when writing is more likely to enjoy spicier foods, louder music and more extreme sensations. A person who writes softer, then, is someone who
is likely to enjoy more modest sensations.
The slant of the letters can assess an individual's emotional responsiveness. For example, a slight forward slant is indicative of a sympathetic person who reaches out and tries to make connections with others.
A far forward slant indicates that someone is extremely emotional and often reacts quickly and vigorously to events (and, according to Aldridge, this group would include many of the wild fans you might see at basketball games).
An upright or nearly vertical slant tends to signify a more objective person, one who does not lean too far either way.
Compatibility testing for
Another characteristic of handwriting is size. Aldridge says that bigger handwriting usually denotes a person who looks at the bigger picture and is less concerned with details. Smaller handwriting, then, points to a person who focuses on details rather than assessing the overall scenario.
couples is another service available through scrutinizing handwriting samples. Aldridge says he looks for the dominant traits in each sample and evaluates whether these qualities mesh well with one another. Aldridge says that when people come in to see them, they often have an inaccurate view of themselves. He cites an example of a married couple he once analyzed. Every time Aldridge would explain what a certain aspect of the husband's handwriting meant, the husband shook his head and disagreed. The wife, however, affirmed that everything was true.
The accuracy of a reading depends on the experience and quality of the analyst, Aldridge says. He estimates that he is about 85 percent accurate in his analyses. He says he's been told both that he was completely correct and that he was completely wrong. Regardless, Aldridge would tell any skeptic to write something down and let him take a look at it.

At Open Swim, worshippers get down with God
SHELTERS
THOMAS HANCOCK
by Jaime Netzer
The band will be great. And he'll get to see his friends. But Jesse Kangas, Lenexa freshman, isn't at Open Swim for either of those reasons. Tonight, Kangas wants to worship God through song. About 75 students and a handful of adults who share Kangas' desire will join him at Open Swim, a multidenominational Christian worship service held monthly in the Kansas Union.
Open Swim is not about the words and talents of the band, or the pastor who leads the service. It's about how worshippers use language and song to communicate their love to Jesus Christ.
Kangas smiles a lot. He's outgoing and unafraid to approach strangers. He's attending KU on an Army ROTC
scholarship and keeps his red hair buzzed.
The lights dim and the band, the Pool Boys, strike their first guitar chords. The lyrics are projected onto a screen behind them, and the crowd begins to sing with the man and woman on stage.
Sometimes, when he goes to worship events like this one, Kangas feels like the people leading the events are just going through the motions. Sometimes, he feels like he is just going through the motions. But tonight, Jesse wants the real thing. He wants a conversation with God.
An older man running the soundboard unleashes his strong bass voice. His toes
"Not to us, but to your name be the alory..."
OPEN SWIM IS NOT ABOUT THE WORDS AND TALENTS OF THE BAND, OR THE PASTOR WHO LEADS THE SERVICE. IT'S ABOUT HOW WORSHIPPERS USE LANGUAGE AND SONG TO COMMUNICATE THEIR LOVE TO JESUS CHRIST.
remain rooted to the ground, but his heels bounce with every beat of the drums. He emphasizes specific lyrics by raising his arms and pointing his fingers.
The band plays songs with major chords in keys that are easy to sing. The female vocalist on stage sings with her eyes closed; when she's not singing, she retreats from the mic stand, clasps her hands in front of her chest and bows her head in prayer.
After the band's first song, the guitarist asks the crowd to bow their heads and pray with him. "God, we're going to sing our guts
out for you. We ask that you know how much we praise the amazing God that you are. We're going to try to put that in words. Amen."
The Pool Boys play several uptempo songs and the audience is on their feet. A few people choose not to sing, but countless bold voices come from every part of the room. Some participants have their arms in the air.
After several songs, the band begins to play quieter, slower music and encourages the audience to engage in a conversation with God. "Every Open Swim we're quiet and we get real with God. We know we're
sinners and we take this time to ask for forgiveness. Take a minute and talk to God." The crowd sits and bows their heads. Confessions are made. Forgiveness is asked for.
Kangas sits down and begins his talk with God. He's dressed in athletic shorts and a vivid blue Royals T-shirt. The other students in attendance tonight are also dressed informally. The atmosphere is relaxed, yet focused. Being here feels different from being in a church, although a church is exactly where Open Swim started.
Danforth Chapel was the original home of Open Swim, which began in 1997. Tyler Clements, drummer for the Pool Boys, says that a few of his friends wanted the chance
to sing songs together and worship. Clements and his friends wanted a way for all campus Christian groups to come together to form a larger Christian community. Eventually the group outgrew the tiny chapel, so Open Swim moved, first to Wescoe, then to its current home in the Union.
The original music written by Clements and his friends moved their peers. Contemporary Christian music is often used in youth ministry because music brings up emotions nothing else can, Clements says. "For a younger person, sometimes music is what gives you your identity," he says.
And singing with a group of peers is powerful. Nathan

Markley, Open Swim organizer,
knows the people around him
are bonded because worship is a
part of their lives. "I feel connected
to everyone," he says.
Being young and a devout Christian isn't always easy. "When people say college is the best four years of your life, they're usually not referring to worship services," says Chad Donohoe,college pastor at Grace Evangelical Presbyterian Church, 3312 Calvin Drive. Donohoe leads several worship services for college students and says that in many ways, today's culture with the Christian way of life.
That's one of the reasons Kangas makes it to Open Swim every month. He doesn't drink alcohol, plans on waiting until
marriage to have sex and has not yet kissed a girl. He says he will not date someone unless he thinks he could marry her. These choices make Kangas decidedly different from many of his peers. So he comes to Open Swim to be around friends who are resisting the same temptations. He says he doesn't think he could do it by himself.
"There are times when I feel like getting wasted," Kangas says. "But it would be ridiculous to throw my scholarship away on something like that. My Christian friends are there to help me through those times."
At the height of the Pool Boys' popularity, over 500 students were coming to Open Swim every week. The Pool Boys released an album called Open
Swim and moved to Nashville to pursue music further. Today, most members of the Pool Boys have started families or full-time careers in ministry, but they often return to KU — and only KU — to play at Open Swim. Clements has moved back to Lawrence, so he regularly leads Open Swim with other local musicians.
After Pastor Donahoe offers his last words and acknowledges that walking with Christ is not always easy, the musicians take the stage for one final song. Kangas' hands are high in the air, and after the lights come up, he's all smiles. He helps the band unload some speakers from the stage and talks with friends.
Kangas got what he wanted; tonight was genuine. Tonight, he connected with God.

FUN IN THE GREEN
SUMMER IS COMING AND IT'S ALWAYS FUN. WE'VE BEEN DOING A HIGH-CHILDREN'S RULE TRAINING TO BUILD ON THEIR SKILLS. HERE ARE SOME OF THEM.
Emily Bannwarth visits her Little, Cassidy, at Pinckney Elementary School. Rocky, Jay McMillan's Little, plays flag football. McMillan has been Rocky's Big through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program for a year.

Sibling relationships are always tough, but some students volunteer to take on the challenge.
by Jennifer Denny
Strolling into the Kansas Union after class in white tennis shoes, khaki shorts, a black T-shirt and a backward baseball cap, Jay McMillan, Olathe senior, should be the epitome of cool to any 8-year-old boy. But for Rocky, a second grader at Schwegler Elementary. McMillan is an unlikely friend.
McMillan and Rocky have known each other for almost a year, ever since McMillan signed up to become a Big Brother through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program of Douglas County after his older sister encouraged him to begin volunteering.
"I could learn from them as well as they could learn from me." McMillan says.
Every Thursday evening, McMillan picks Rocky up from the Boys and Girls Club where Rocky stays after school. After making the drive back to his apartment with his young friend, McMillan is content to play Guitar Hero until the duo takes a break for a healthy home-cooked meal. The three hours they spend together usually pass quickly as they play video games, visit the skate park or make homemade donuts. When their time together is up, McMillan takes Rocky home, where his two biological siblings
are waiting.
"I like the same things a little 8-year-old does," McMillan says with a laugh over the activities he and Rocky do together. "It may not be enriching all the time, but it gets him away from his other life."
Rocky is one of more than 300 children who are matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister in Douglas County, McMillan describes his "Little" as reserved and hard to read, but intelligent, which frustrated McMillan at first because the child's displaced anger was an obstacle to overcomebeforetheycouldbuild a friendship. McMillan doesn't hesitate to say that taking care of children can be difficult, but he says this experience has taught him how to deal with people from different demographics, like Rocky, who is half Caucasian, half Native American, and comes from a poor, single-parent home.
The most frustrating moments for this "Big" come when Rocky seems unappreciative of the time he's carved out of his day to spend volunteering, McMillan says. Despite this difficulty, he recommends volunteering for the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, but only to some people — those with patience and sensitivity."You need to not
have expectations going into it, except that you're going to hang out with a little kid. It's not just a résumé builder," he says.
Sarah Rooney, "Case Manager Extraordinaire" at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County, according to her business card, knows being a Big is an intense commitment. She looks for volunteers who are mature and grounded, but also creative and engaging with children. "Kids don't like boring," she says.
Teachers have taken note of this program and talk about the difference it makes in the classroom. Jane Phelps, a fifth grade teacher at Schwegler Elementary, 2201 Ousdahl Rd., has multiple students in her classroom who participate in either the community-based program where the Bigs and Littles participate in activities outside of school or a site-based program in which the Big visits the Little's school weekly for lunch or after-school activities.
"Having a Big Brother or Big Sister is one of the few highlights in many of our students' lives," Phelps says. "They look forward each week to spending time with this favorite person. Just having someone by themselves, to do something even just a little special, is a rare treat. Playing a

game, going on a walk, eating lunch or just talking takes on a whole different importance with a Big."
Compared to McMillan's match, Emily Bannwarth, Independence junior, has a Little made in heaven. But it wasn't always that way. After a bad first experience with the program ended at the beginning of the school year, Bannwarth was still interested in being a Big, so she began the process of finding a new Little this semester. She is now matched with Cassidy,
a fun and spunky 9-year-old in the third grade at Pinckney Elementary School, 810 W. Sixth St.
Bannwarth likes the one-on-one interaction she gets with the child each week and finds it easy to develop a lasting relationship. "She likes me. She's excited when I come," Bannwarth says. "She seems to appreciate that she has a Big — she actually cares to have one. She shows interest and she's full of energy. Plus, her smile is contagious."
Because Bannwarth participates in the site-based program as a Big in School, she visits Cassidy every Thursday at her elementary school. The pair eats lunch in the cafeteria and usually play games outside. Sometimes they escape to the classroom and play Connect Four or simply talk to each other about their favorite movies and books.
"The first time we hung out, she gave me a hug and said "Thank you for coming," Bannwarth says. "It was so cute. It touched my heart and I had tears in my eyes when I left."
Even though Bannwarth is thrilled with her new match, she offers this advice for Big Brothers or Big Sisters with difficult Littles: "Make an effort. You can only
pull so much of the weight and sometimes matches don't work out. But instead of just letting it go and getting frustrated, work a little harder."
Terry Johnston, a clinician who provides mental health services to the children and staff at Schwegler Elementary School, agrees that Big Brothers and Big Sisters have to work hard to make their match work, but it cultivates excitement and a sense of self-worth in the Little.
"A child was telling me about the field trip coming up and I asked them if this was going to be their best day of the week," Johnston says. "They said the field trip was going to be fun, but their best day was Thursday. I asked why and they replied, 'That's when my Big comes to see me.'"
Without a doubt these volunteers, and the hundreds more like them in Douglas County, have made a lasting impression on their students. Whether it's cooking with him or playing board games with her, Bigs help their Littles learn lessons about friendship, compassion and responsibility. The impact of these relationships isn't always readily apparent, but rest assured, volunteers, your work is appreciated.

Kathy Daneman
Year: 1998
Degree:
Journalism
Hometown:
Lenexa
Back in the day: Daneman remembers going to the Replay Lounge on Fridays and says the $1 turkey burgers and free pinball "made her day." She was a regular at "Swing Nights" on Sundays at the Bottleneck, where the DJ was "wonderful." Daneman kept busy in school writing for the Jayhawk Journalist, an alumni magazine for journalism students, and contributed an article for the yearbook.
The gradLife: After graduation, Daneman packed up and headed to Boston with a friend. She set up an interview with the head of Beacon Press, a book publisher. After being asked what her favorite books from the company were, Daneman's picks — which impressed the interviewer — helped land
her the job. She had only been in Boston for about 16 hours, but she had already found employment.
Today: Daneman works for Farrar, Straus and Giroux, a book publisher in New York City. As publicity manager, she puts together campaigns for authors, sends out their books in advance to magazine and newspaper editors and follows up with phone calls and e-mails.She says she enjoys working with high-profile authors and influencing
how the media is shaped.
She says: Upon her arrival in Boston, Daneman says she experienced the favoritism local people showed toward the elite schools of the Northeast. But she says she soon found that the hard work she put in at the University of Kansas had prepared her well. "That Midwestern work ethic really takes you a lot further," she says.

MY BOYFRIEND IS ALWAYS LOOKING AT AND TALKING ABOUT OTHER WOMEN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF THIS. WHAT DO YOU THINK IT MEANS?
It means he's an asshole. Or maybe he's testing you to see how you'll react. Or maybe he just feels comfortable enough around you to discuss other people's looks. Or maybe you could just ask him. In the end, your choices are to a) deal with it
— ANDREA, SOPHOMORE
b) dump him and find someone with eyes only for you (at least in front of you) or c) try to change the behavior. Or you can even try all of the above. Just make sure the guy you're with is making you feel good. Otherwise, why are you with him?
I THINK I'M FALLING FOR A GIRL IN MY CHEM CLASS. THE PROBLEM IS, I'M ALSO A GIRL. I HAVEN'T EVER BEEN WITH A GIRL, BUT I FIND MYSELF REALLY ATTRACTED TO HER. WE HAVE A GREAT TIME TOGETHER AND WE'RE GETTING CLOSE, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S FEELING THE SAME THING OR IF SHE WOULD BE TOTALLY REPULSED. SHOULD I RISK IT? — ANNA, JUNIOR
You have to be willing to take the risk if you want to get results. Or the girl. Is it possible she'll be totally disgusted and never speak to you again? Sure, it's possible. But if she reacts like that, is she a true friend anyway? Definitely not.
Be prepared for a potentially
awkward encounter, but if she's a mature adult she should be able to say, "Aww, well, I'm flattered, but I actually don't feel that way", just like she would with a guy.Or maybe she'll say,"Wow! I'd been feeling the exact same thing!" You'll never know until you ask.
I'M A SENIOR AND HAVE NEVER HAD A BOYFRIEND. I'M PANICKING. I MEAN, THE OLDER I GET, THE MORE LIMITED MY ON-CAMPUS OPTIONS BECOME. FOR GUYS, WHEN THEY'RE SENIORS, THEY HAVE THE WHOLE CAMPUS TO PICK FROM. BUT AS A GIRL, I'M NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN DATING FRESHMEN BOYS. I'M WORRIED I'LL NEVER MEET A GUY. NATASHA, SENIOR
NATASHA, SENIOR
You're right, the laws of nature aren't totally fair. Men can create babies until the day they die, but women dry up around 45. Old men (with money) end up with Playboy bunnies and Anna Nicoles, but there's no old hag with a Brad Pitt or a Dr. McDreamy. But maybe you're being a little too negative. After all, Demi's not an old hag, but she did land Ashton, and the older woman-younger man thing is becoming more and more mainstream. So don't write off everyone younger than you.
If you met a guy and hit it off and later found out he was a year younger, would that mean the connection you had wasn't real? No way! Second of all, there are plenty of available senior men on this campus. So quit thinking that just because you're getting older you don't have any options. There are nice guys all around you.And don't forget these two words: grad students.

We Made This Ourselves MUSIC
Essie Jain's bio describes her music as gentle, warm, open and intimate. And that's exactly what's found on her debut album, We Made This Ourselves. Her soft, almost operatic voice, backed by subtle piano, makes for a stirring debut full of sad, haunting melodies.
"Glory" opens the album with a soft acoustic riff mixed with subtle electric guitar leads that back Jain's.
by Essie Jain
melancholy vocals. "Haze" builds emotional intensity with the powerful refrain, "I am right behind you." "Disgrace" has a waltz feel while "Give"has a building piano part with some quiet strings behind it. "No Mistake" closes the album the way it started with quiet guitar, this time mixed in with some piano.
A lack of variety in dynamics and mood makes the album boring after a few listens. Jain is onto something, but it's just not there yet.
Jain's music is touching, but it can grow tired at times.

B.B. King at Ameristar Casino CONCERT
Showman, great guitarist, old school B.B.K. The."King of the Blues"stopped by the Star Pavilion at the Ameristar Casino in Kansas City, Mo., to play a show on March 31.
Never have I seen a musician with such control over an audience. If he wanted us to clap after a solo, we would. If he wanted us to sing along or repeat after him, we would. If he had told us to get up and start doing the chicken dance, we would have. He had the
audience in a trance.
From a wonderful, guitar-heavy cover of U2's "When Love Comes to Town" to closer "The Thrill Is Gone," King was captivating. Between songs he told stories about when he was younger, expressed his belief that there was no such thing as an ugly woman and talked about what life was like at 81.
He may be old and unable to stand up for an extended period of time — he played the entire concert sitting down
but the dancing he did in his chair would rival most carseat dancing any of us college students have ever done.
Some other highlights were "How Blue Can You Get," "The Letter" and "Key to the Highway," a song that has been covered by many other musicians, including Eric Clapton. The show lasted about an hour and a half, and every second was great.

The Lookout •
MOVIE
BREWER'S BAR
Young actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt is quickly becoming the king of the neo-noir genre. But while he shows promise, he hasn't had the chance to spread his wings because of taking roles in movies like The Lookout, his latest and blandest.
The movie follows Kansas City high school hockey star Chris Pratt (Gordon-Levitt), whose life is changed forever when he gets into a car accident. Now, he has minor trouble with motor functions, a terrible memory, lives with a blind roommate, Lewis (Jeff Daniels, the picture's savior) and works as a janitor at a local bank.
Things are pretty monotonous for Chris until one night at a bar when he meets Gary (Matthew Goode). Gary lures Chris into friendship, only to tell him that he and his clan are planning on robbing a bank and need Chris' special position to make things go over smoothly. But as the day
of the robbery draws closer, Chris begins to have second thoughts and realizes that he has the power to make the operation a smashing success or a total disaster.
The Lookout isn't a complete failure, but it barely succeeds. What's sad is that the film constantly displays potential, but then drifts toward mediocrity. Screenwriter and first-time director Scott Frank had a great plot with some good characters, but apparently didn't know where to go from there. The end result is a thriller with adequate
suspense and drama, but one that lacks emotion.
Add on top of that a handful of characters and scenes that are totally inconsequential and the film falls even flatter on its face.
The biggest redeeming quality of the movie is the light and funny dialogue delivered by Daniels. But unfortunately, comedic relief does not a good crime drama make, forcing the film to fall back on the thrills that it just can't muster.

101 BACK TO SCHOOL
PHOTOS COURTESY OF LAURA EVERS
As I walk through the grocery store, I act like I don't notice their whispers. People stare as I pass them. They don't realize the pain caused by their glances. Children stop and ask their parents, what's wrong with "that girl?"
I was in third grade and had recently moved to a new school; I desperately wanted to fit in. Wearing a back brace that stretched from below my chin to the bottom of my hips didn't exactly help in that department.
A few months before, my mother noticed that my shoulders were uneven. She immediately made a doctor's appointment, at which I was diagnosed with scoliosis, an s-shaped curvature of the spine that affects only three out of every 1,000 children. If left untreated, my condition could have interfered with my lung function — or worse. Surgery was an alternative to the back brace, but it would have involved inserting a metal rod into my back, decreasing my
mobility and limiting my range of motion.
Soon after my diagnosis, I was sent to a professional brace maker for a three-hour fitting.
Watching him create the brace made me dread wearing it more; it was obvious that it wasn't going to be comfortable. The brace consisted of three metal bars that extended from my neck to my waist, preventing that part of my
body from moving.The bars were connected to a plastic, corset-like apparatus that was tightened with straps around my waist to straighten my lower curvature. A plastic piece was placed at my right side to straighten the upper curve.
by Laura Evers
As I received detailed instructions on how to wear the brace (18 hours a day.
always worn at night, no intense physical activities, etc.), I couldn't stop thinking about how the kids would react the next day when I wore my

brace to school.
As soon as I got home,I began to rummage through my closet in an attempt to find clothes that would cover up the brace.I knew that if people saw the metal device around my neck, they would never look at me the
overlook it. But before class, my friends bombarded me with questions. "Why are you wearing that? Does it hurt? Will you have to wear it forever?" They were curious, and who could blame them? I answered each question as best as I could, making sure to hide how much the brace bothered me.
I couldn't wait until 12:30 when I would be able to take off the brace during lunch break. Since I couldn't take it off by myself, my best friend, Kate, met me in the nurse's office to undo the straps and harnesses that kept the brace tight around my torso. I was able to leave the brace in the nurse's office for the remainder of the day, knowing that in a few hours I would have to put it on again.
During the years I wore my brace, I felt like things couldn't get worse. I was sick of going to slumber parties in my brace. I was sick of missing out on fun activities and, most of all, I was sick of asking, "Why me?"
I used to beg my mom to let me have the surgery. If I could just have the rod in my back, I wouldn't have to wear the brace. I didn't care if I couldn't move my back, at least I could be normal.
It's been six years since my doctor told me I no longer had to wear the brace. As I listened to his words, I felt liberated. It was as if I had spent my childhood behind bars and was finally released. I never wanted
Although I never fully accepted the brace, it became a part of me. After a while, my friends stopped noticing it, and I finally began to feel more confident.
"It will be worth it in the end," she would tell me.
There wasn't a doubt in my mind that she was right. I knew that if I stuck it out, my back would be corrected and I could be "normal" eventually, but the four years of wearing the brace in public seemed like an eternity.
to see the brace again.
"Do you want to keep it," my doctor asked. His words were laughable and I quickly told him "no." The brace was donated to an organization that reused its various parts.
I've blocked out the majority of painful memories of my years in the brace. I don't want to think about the stares or the muffled whispers I endured as I walked through grocery stores and shopping malls. Even though these images have been lost in my memory, I will never forget the feelings they left inside.
I know what it's like to feel different and, in one way in particular, wearing a brace has helped shape the person I am today. I feel more compassion for others who are sad or feel left out. I feel the need to be the one to help them through their pain and be a source of acceptance. If that was what came out of such a negative experience, then it was worth it in the end.

STUDENT LIFE
Vandalism mars residence halls
BY KATY BLAIR
Fire alarms aren't the main problem in McCollum Hall nowmore.
Residence halls have become a haven for inappropriate — sometimes illegal — behavior, and this semester has definitely had its share.
"I've seen used condoms there a lot," said Talal Alsahli, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, freshman. "They put them in the ceiling."
Alsahli said he's seen other strange things in McColum this year. On his cell phone, Alsahli had a picture of
soiled underwear that he saw on the eighth floor.
Another McColllum resident, Tariq Musa, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, freshman, said the ninth floor wasn't as bad as others because women lived in two of the three wings.
Musa said he expected to see that kind of behavior in residence halls because it could be boring otherwise.
"The furniture is upside-down all the time." Musa said.
Alsahli and Musa said that people have also used the elevators to urinate and defecate in.
Jennifer Wamelin, interim associate director for resident life for the Department of Student Housing, said major incidents like these are isolated.
"We don't have a real repeated problem," Wamelink said. "But everyone loses when students make the choice to damage property and then don't come forward."
She said the protocol for solving issues in the residence halls was to first try to find the culprit. If the guilty party doesn't come forward,
GSP-Corbin Hall has become a problem area for students tampering with fire safety equipment. Wamelink said many fire extinguishers had been set off without anyone taking responsibility. Wamelink
the department of Student Housing has to absorb the cost of repairing or replacing the damage.
Wamelink said this would raise the department's cost of maintenance, and thus, the cost of room and board for students.

AUCTION
Andrew Stangl, Wichita senior and president of SOMA, auctions off Henry Bernberg, Northbrook, Ill., sophomore and treasurer of SOMA. For the winning bidder Henry was willing to work three hours for a local charity and teach sword fighting. Half of the proceeds from the auction go to the Douglas County AIDS Foundation.

SOMA sells souls for charity
BY TYLER HARBERT
The devil looked them over, set a price for their souls and one-by-one auctioned off students who were willing to sign their lives over, at least for a few hours.
Souls were the hot commodity last night at the Hawks Nest in the Kansas Union during the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics' third annual soul auction.
Participants were introduced by SOMA president Andrew Stangl, Wichita senior, and then evaluated by the devil, played by SOMA member Jon Voisey, St. Louis senior, who called out the opening bid.
The participants were sold to the
highest bidder who then negotiated what the person would do for them from a preset list of activities, like going on a date, tutoring them, volunteering at their desired venue or doing general labor.
Some of the less conventional activities participants were willing to do for their purchaser included lessons in sword fighting, saxophone and poker tutoring and a trip to St. Louis for a concert to see The Police.
"Generally, I think people are going for $20 to $30 on average." Stangl said.
So what's the going rate on a soul these days?
Douglas County AIDS Project. More than $800 was raised from the sale of 24 souls.
The funds raised at the event were split equally between SOMA and the
The soul that raised the most money belonged to Hilary Hauber, Overland Park junior and SOMA member.
"I guess I'm just happy to raise money for AIDS," she said. "It's obviously a really important cause."
Hauber said she was surprised her soul sold for $100.
Her buyer was her friend Bailey Perkins, Newton sophomore and SOMA member, who won her soul after a heated bidding rivalry.
"It went from $80 to $100 and I thought, 'Why not?' " Perkins said. "She's worth it."
buying Perkins's soul for $60, and they decided they would pay off their debts by spending time together.
"It will give us an excuse to hang out but we paid for it in advance," Perkins said.
Stangl said in one instance in a previous year, a pair of souls sold together for $400. He said women tended to sell higher than men.
He also said the event was SOMA's largest fundraiser each year and the money given to SOMA is used to organize other events and speakers.

KJHK to use digital archive
BY ASHLEE KIELER
Transfer process to take months
Listeners of KJHK can expect improved quality of programming as early as this fall with the implementation of a new digital archive.
The digital achieve provides a secure storage for all of KJHK's vinyl records and compact discs.
Student Senate approved a bill on Wednesday securing $15,000 from the Senate reserve account for the archive.
Tom Johnson, general manager for KJHK, said the secure storage would cost about $32,000. Twenty-five thousand dollars will go to the actual secure storage, $4,000 wil go to equipment and $8,000 wil go to paying student hourly positions for archiving.
Chris Dickinson, Derby junior and director for information services, said the archiving process should begin by the end of the month.
"We'll start with CDs, which should be done by the end of summer," Dickinson said. "The vinyls will take longer to ensure good sound from them."
Nick Ray, program director for KJHK, said the new system would allow for KJHK to preserve music forever and to share it with future generations.
"We get music from independent retailers and labels, and sometimes they only make 10 copies, so it will be nice to know they are secure." Ray said.
Some music from the '70s and '80s can't be found anymore, Ray said.
Justin Brown, Overland Park senior and host of Alternative Flashback on KJHK, said the digital archive would benefit the station in more than one way.
"It's great for preserving the music and more convenient for some DJs to fill requests more quickly." Brown said.
Danielle Basci, Houston, Texas, senior and host of Grey Radio on KJHK, said the new system will lessen the time it takes to find requests.
Through time the vinyls have deteriorated from being played so many times. At times it's difficult to find the records because they are out of place or their sleeves are hard to read, Brown said.
"We can actually find the requests instead of saying we will and not having time to look before a new song comes on," Basci said.
The new program also lessens the chance that music will be lost or stolen.
Melissa Knudsen, Wichita senior and music director for KJHK, said in the past a problem existed when music went missing.
"If we have the music in a secure digital setting we'll always have it in case something were to happen," Knudsen said.

CAMPUS SAFETY
Crime rates continue to decline
BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT
For the third consecutive year, the number of criminal offenses reported by the KU Public Safety Office has decreased, according to figures released this week.
Reported crimes dropped from 754 in 2005 to 722 in 2006, a 4 percent decrease. The number of crimes reported has gone down every year since 2003, when 849 crimes were reported. In 2005, crime numbers increased from 797
in 2002 to 849.
Chief Ralph Oliver of the Public Safety Office attributed the decrease to several factors. Among them were the number of educational programs, new security cameras around campus and support from the University's administration.
"It takes more than the efforts of the men and women of the KU Public Safety Office to make a safer campus," Oliver said in a press release. "This continued decline
could only be achieved through the cooperation of the University community as a whole."
During the past 10 years, reported crime has been cut nearly in half. In 1997, 1,438 crimes were reported. The biggest percentage drop for a felony crime came from auto burglaries; only one was reported in 2006 as opposed to four in 1997.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway released a statement earlier in the week.
"A safe and secure environment on campus is vital for this University to fulfill its mission," Hemenway said. "While everyone must use common sense and take proper precautions to avoid becoming victims of crime, no matter where they are."

IRAQ WAR
Crew returns home after two weeks in captivity
BY TARIQ PANJA ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROYAL MARINE BASE CHIVENOR, England With champagne bottles popping, a Royal Navy crew flew home Thursday after nearly two weeks in Iranian captivity to hugs from tearful relatives and relief in a Britain outraged the crew was used by Tehran for propaganda.
While much of the country rallied behind the crew's return, others criticized them for offering apologies where none was required — namely for appearing in videos in which they admitted and offered regrets for entering Iranian waters. Defense officials sought quash the criticism.
Prime Minister Tony Blair was somber. He said that while the country celebrated the safe return — and praised the diplomacy that secured their release — the joy was diminished by the killing of four British soldiers in Iraq on Thursday.
"Just as we rejoice at the return of our 15 service personnel, so today we are also grieving and mourning for the loss of our soldiers in Basra, who were killed as the result of a terrorist act," Blair said.
Iran's release of the eight sailors and seven marines raised hopes
among some that Tehran might be open to compromise on other matters, particularly Western demands for a halt to Iran's uranium enrichment program.
But Iran already was warning it would retaliate if the West pushed too hard, and U.S. officials intensified their criticism of Tehran after restraining their comments during the 13-day standoff over the British naval crew.

saw no sign of Iranian willingness to work with other nations on scaling back its nuclear program, which the U.S. and its allies suspect is aimed at producing atomic weapons.
"What would show that they're more in line with the international community is to comply with the U.N. Security Council resolution" calling for a freeze in the Iranian nuclear program, he said.

Then two Sea King helicopters ferried the crew 210 miles to the Royal Marine base at Chivenor for a reunion with families. As they hugged relatives, TV cameras caught Leading Seaman Faye Turney - the
only woman among the captives — wiping tears from the corner of her eye.
A lunch with families followed at the base cafeteria. They were described by the military as "in good spirits".
The crew was expected to remain at the base at least until Friday for debriefing about their seizure by Iran, which charged the naval队 intruded into its waters in two inflatable boats. Britain insisted the crew was searching for smuggling on Iraq's side of the Shatt al-Arab, a disputed waterway dividing Iraq and Iran.
Britain's Sky News reported that an officer in the captured crew, Royal Marine Capt. Chris Air, had said in an interview three weeks ago that the team gathered intelligence on Iran during its patrols.
The Defense Ministry denied the team had any special intelligence role. It said they routinely spoke to commanders of vessels using the Persian Gulf and Shatt Al-Arab to determine who is using shipping routes.
Countries ranging from Syria to Colombia pressed Iran for the release of the crew, whose capture began at the start of the two-week Iranian new year celebrations.
》CANINE SCIENCE
BY RANDOLPH E. SCHMID
ASOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON From the towering Great Dane to the feisty little Chihuahua, all dogs are brothers under the skin. Now, researchers have uncovered a reason why the animals wearing that skin vary so much in size.
Dogs have the largest variation in body size of any land animal, so researchers led by Elaine A. Ostrander of the National Human
Genome Research Institute decided to look into the reasons why.
They found a section of genes that controls small size in dogs and reported their
Keith E. Murphy, principal investigator at the Canine Genetics Laboratory of Texas A&M University, said, "What you've got here is the first piece of that puzzle."
"We know this is only part of the story, but it's a necessary part of the story."
"That's very important and you're looking at almost a sort of cascade effect, if you will, and we would hope that these findings, maybe you can extend to diseases ... maybe even cancer" said Murphy, who was not part
said.
ELAINE A. OSTRANDER Research leader
results in Fridays' issue of the journal "Science."
Learning how growth is controlled can improve the understanding of cancer and other diseases caused by growth gone awry, Ostrander said in a telephone interview.
And the research adds to the basic study of variations, perhaps improving knowledge of the differences between people, she added.
K. Gordon Lark of the University of Utah, a co-author of the report, pointed out that dogs have 200 to 300 diseases in common with people, including high blood pressure, autoimmune diseases and cancer.
"They also share our environment, so if there is an environmental influence that can trigger disease," dogs will be going through the same process, he said in a telephone interview.
"So, if we can solve this in dogs,
that's a fantastic jump ahead." Lark
of the research team
Lark's Portuguese water dog, Georgie, had died and he was seeking a new one. Hearing he was a agenticist, the breeder urged
him to work on dog genes.
So he began the Georgie project, studying the genes of the Portuguese water dog, a breed that comes in a wide range of sizes from 25 pounds to 75 pounds.
Ostrander and colleagues then extended that to a range of large and small breeds and the researchers located a section of DNA that varied between large and small breeds in most cases.
Known as a regulatory sequence, the difference is on dog chromosome 15 next to a previously known gene named IGF1, for insulin-like growth factor 1. The hormone controlled by the IGF1 gene helps mammals — including people — grow from birth to adolescence.
In small dog breeds a mutation in the sequence next to the gene kept them from growing larger, the researchers said.
"We know this is only part of the story, but it's a necessary part of the story," said Ostrander.

NATION Colleague shoots FBI agent during stakeout
READINGTON, N.J. — An FBI agent who was killed Thursday when a stakeout team opened fire on three armed-bank robbery suspects might have been shot accidentally by another agent, the FBI said.
"Preliminarily information suggests the agent may have been fatally wounded as a result of the accidental discharge of another agent's weapon during a dynamic arrest situation," the FBI said in a statement Thursday night.
Agent Barry Lee Bush, 52, assigned to the Newark office, died after agents confronted three men suspected in a series of armed-bank robberies. Two of the men were captured.
Pedro Ruiz, an agent in charge of the Newark office, said the suspects did not fire their weapons, which included two assault rifles and a handgun. He said he did not know how many shots were fired and declined to elaborate about what led the agents to shoot.
Bush, 52, joined the FBI in August of 1987, serving in Kansas City and transferring to Newark in 1991. He is survived by a wife and two grown children, the FBI said.

China denies responsibility in U.S. pet deaths
BEIJING — China has denied responsibility for several pet deaths in the United States that U.S. authorities blame on a batch of chemically contaminated wheat gluten from China, state media reported.
The China Inspection and Quarantine Times said in a report on its Web site dated Tuesday that as of March 29, 2007 China had "never exported wheat or wheat gluten to ... the United States."
This contradicted comments by two employees at the Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology Development Co., this week who said the company had shipped wheat
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has identified Xuzhou Anying as the supplier of the tainted gluten.
On Thursday, the Chinese company accused of selling chemical-tainted wheat gluten linked to the pet food deaths said that most of its sales were domestic, raising the possibility that people or animals in China might have been exposed to the chemical.
gluten to the United States
Nearly 100 brands of cat and dog food made with wheat gluten have been recalled.
The FDA has confirmed about 15 pet deaths, and anecdotal reports suggest hundreds of cats and dogs may have died of kidney failure from the tainted food.

Rose-Mockry, program director at the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and advocate for the stations' creation, said the private rooms created a welcoming climate for parents trying to balance school, career opportunities and family.
Students and faculty on campus can use the stations to nurse their newborns. When they don't have time they can express their breast milk using breast pumps, which are not provided by the stations.
Rose-Mockry said all rooms had an electrical outlet and a good chair, and were window-free. Some rooms even have refrigerators to chill the milk until the mother returns.

She said the lactation stations helped balance academia and responsibility for nontraditional students, who account for just fewer than 4,000 students at the University.
said any student-parent was automatically classified as a nontraditional student.
Rose-Mockry said anything the University could do to make school life and family life work easier together was key in supporting families at the University.
"The majority of nontraditional students tend to be female," she said, "and a lot of them have kids and babies."
"It requires no additional funding," she said. "A little space makes a big difference in the lives of these women."

Vomiting in trash cans and stairwells is something Janelle Wehr, Olathe freshman, has seen in Ellsworth Hall as well. She said most recently there has been furniture shoved out windows and lost altogether.

pretty ridiculous."
Avila said every morning there was some type of vandalism in the residence halls that must be cleaned or fixed. He said about three pieces of furniture upholstery in common areas were cut up or destroyed each week.
Some of the furniture is so badly damaged that Avila said he thought students were picking up the furniture and throwing it against the walls.
Musa said the resident advisors tried to keep students from damaging property, or committing other offensive actions, but it seldom worked. He said he wouldn't be living in the residence halls after this year.
"You have to go to the dorms to try it, but no more." Musa said. "It sucks."

KANSAS NATIONAL GUARD
Unit trains for Kosovo task
BY JOHN MILBURN ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — A Kansas National Guard division is making its second deployment to Kosovo in the past four years, taking another turn at keeping the peace in the Balkans region.
Maj. Gen. Tod Bunting said Thursday that about 200 soldiers of the 35th Division, based at Fort Leavenworth, will deploy later this year to become the headquarters unit for a multinational peacekeeping force. Soldiers will leave for Camp Atterbury, Ind., in July and for
Kosovo in the fall.
The division has soldiers from Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. It is the third significant recent deployment for the division, including the first trip to Kosovo in 2003, Bunting said.
"Domestically, they served as the headquarters down in Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina, where they managed more than 15,000 soldiers and airmen from a number of National Guard units," Bunting said.
During their upcoming year in Kosovo, the division's soldiers will become part of Balkans Nine, a task force of approximately 1,500 soldiers from the Army, Army Reserve and
National Guard.
Other Kansas units will continue to train and head to Iraq in the coming months.
Two other units have also been placed on alert, though details and unit names haven't been released.
The 35th Military Police Company's 170 soldiers was alerted it would be deployed, leaving in the next few months for training at Fort Dix, then to Iraq.
About 850 Kansas National Guard soldiers are serving in Iraq, but none in Kosovo. The Guard has about 5,600 soldiers and 2,100 airmen, for a total strength of 7,700.

Student faces assault charges
BY STEPHEN MANNING ASSOCIATED PRESS
The woman told jurors at Kenny
Ray Morrison's court-martial that she tried to resist Morrison but that he carried her to a bed, removed her clothes and had sex with her during the night of Feb. 3, 2006, and early the next morning.

"I continued to say, 'No, you
Morrison's attorney, William Ferris, said during an opening statement that the former backup football linebacker will testify later that the sex was consensual.
can't do this," the woman, now a senior at the Annapolis military school, told the seven Marine and Navy officers during the first day of testimony at the Washington Navy Yard.
Morrison, 24, of Kingwood, Texas, was charged with indecent assault and conduct unbecoming of an officer in each case. He was scheduled to graduate last spring, but remains a midshipman while his legal case continues.
The woman is one of two female midshipman that prosecutors say Morrison had sex with against their wishes on different occasions last
He originally faced more serious charges of raping the women with the aid of "date rape" drugs, but those counts were dropped after questions arose over the accuracy of tests that Navy prosecutors used to prove the women
were drugged.
Morrison's attorney, William Ferris, said during opening statements that the former backup football linebacker will testify later that the sex was consensual. Sitting at the defense table in his blue uniform, Morrison showed little reaction as the woman testified.
On Thursday, the woman testified that shed had nine drinks the night she claimed she was assaulted, starting at an Annapolis restaurant and later at a Washington nightclub. She began to feel ill and went back to a nearby hotel where midshipmen were staying in several rooms. The woman fell asleep, but awoke to find Morrison standing over her, asking her to have sex with him. She kissed him, but said she didn't want to have sex.
She said Morrison had sex with her three times over the next several hours.
The woman said she felt dizzy during the night, going in and out of sleep. She told jurors that she did not flee or cry out because she felt embarrassed and didn't know what to do. At one point, she tried to reach for her clothes on the floor, but testified that Morrison pulled her back into the bed.
The second woman, now a Marine officer, testified in a pretrial hearing that Morrison gave her a beer at an Annapolis bar the night of April 21. She said her next memory was waking up next to Morrison, naked.
Prosecutors said Thursday that there was evidence that Morrison had sex with her that night, but Ferris said Morrison will testify that the woman "invited sexual activity."

Stock market closes for Good Friday
BY JOE BEL BRUNO ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Wall Street ended a winning, holiday-shortened week with a quiet advance Thursday as investors awaited the release of March employment figures and remained cautiously optimistic after their recent buying streak. For the week, the major indexes showed gains each day and returned to positive territory for the year.
There was a subdued tone to trading Thursday as investors adjusted portfolios ahead of a three-day weekend; the stock market is closed for Good Friday. Investors were particularly careful because they won't be able to trade on Friday's Labor Department's employment report until the stock market reopens Monday morning.
There was little reaction to the department's report that first-time claims for unemployment benefits rose to their highest weekly level since March 3, which indicated companies might be struggling to cope with sluggish growth in the national economy.
Thursday marked the Dow's sixth straight session of gains, its biggest streak of advances since November. The blue chip average spent the first half of Thursday's session in negative territory before moving higher at about midday.
"The market went up on fumes this week," said Philip S. Dow, managing director of equity strategy at RBC Dain Rauscher. "Nobody has any wild expectations to the positive for the jobs report. But, barring some kind of negative report, I still think we'll see the market tread water."
The Dow rose 30.15, or 0.24 percent, to 12,560.20.
Broader stock indicators also make gains. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 4.39, or 0.31 percent, to 1,443.76, and the Nasdaq composite index advanced 12.65, or 0.51 percent, to 2,471.34.
For the week, the Dow rose 0.78 percent, the S&P 500 gained 1.8 percent and the Nasdaq composite index advanced 2.3 percent. The Dow added more than 100 points Tuesday after a stronger-thanexpected report on sales of existing homes helped shore up investors' confidence in the economy.
Bonds fell ahead of the employment report; the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 4.68 percent from 4.65 percent late Wednesday. The bond market will be open for an abbreviated session Friday.

Pope prepares for Easter
Holy Thursday begins with feet-washing ritual by pontiff

ROME — Pope Benedict XVI bathed the feet of 12 laymen in a Rome basilica in a Holy Thursday tradition symbolizing humility, as he kept up an intense schedule of public ceremonies that will culminate on Easter.
Bending over, the pope poured water from a golden pitcher of the feet of the men, who wore white robes and were seated in a row. Benedict then used a white cloth to dry the feet of the men, who were drawn from the laity of the Diocese of Rome. As pontiff, Benedict is also bishop of Rome.
The feet-washing ritual by the pontiff, who wore gold-colored vestments, represents Jesus' humility toward his apostles during the Last Supper, on the day before he was crucified, and serves to remind today's faithful that they should be at the service of others.
The Vatican said that the monetary offering from faithful presented to the pope at the Holy Thursday Mass in St. John Lateran Basilica would help support a medical dispensary in Baidao, Somalia.
Benedict, who turns 80 on April 16, was making one of several Holy Week appearances.
On Thursday morning, he celebrated a Mass with cardinals, bishops and other clergy in St. Peter's Basilica.
Good Friday appearances include a commemoration in the Vatican basilica of Jesus' suffering before his crucifixion, and in the evening, the pope will go to the Colosseum for the traditional Way of the Cross procession
The pope will lead two services to mark Easter, the most important day on the church calendar. On Saturday night, he presides at a vigil service in St. Peter's Basilica, and on Sunday
morning, he will celebrate Mass in what it is expected to be a packed St. Peter's Square.
On Sunday afternoon, the pope heads to his holiday residence in Castel Gandolfo for a week's break from Vatican City.
In Jerusalem on Thursday, hundreds of Greek Orthodox believers filled the courtyard of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in the Old City
to watch their patriarch wash the feet of followers.
On Easter Sunday, the Orthodox Church will hold its 1,200-year-old "holy fire" rite in which the faithful light torches and candles from a flame that believers say is miraculously ignited. The rite also takes place at the Church of the Holy Sepulchur, where Christians believe Jesus died on the cross.

Mall curfew improves conduct Teens under 16 need parent or guardian to shop after 3 p.m.
RESTRICTION
BY BETSY TAYLOR ASSOCIATED PRESS
— Chaz Brewer visits the upscale St. Louis Galleria mall about once a week, checking out clothing stores like Aeropostale and American Eagle and hanging out in the food court.
RICHMOND HEIGHTS, Mo.
But come April 20, he can't visit the mall by himself on a Friday or Saturday night, under a new policy that prohibits teens 16 and under after 3 p.m. unless they have a parent or guardian with them.
Brewer, 16, doesn't plan on cruising the mall on a Friday night with his Mom.
"That's like a party pooper, for real," he said.
Teenagers across the nation are facing similar dilemmas. Malls looking to restore what they call a family-friendly environment are putting policies into place requiring that younger teens have adult supervision during certain hours, almost always on the weekend.
policies will be put into place.
Mall officials say the policies cut back on unruly behavior and loitering that can turn off other shoppers; teens charge they're being singled out for the bad behavior of a few.
At least 40 malls out of 1,100 in the United States have put ten curfew and escort policies into effect. The majority of those policies have started since 2004, according to data collected by the International Council of Shopping Centers, a New York-based shopping center trade organization. The organization said it could not predict if more
In the malls with the policies, security is usually stationed at doors or throughout the shopping center on Friday and Saturday afternoons or evenings. Teens who are not escorted by an adult, usually 21 or older, are asked for identification. If they can't prove they're old enough to be alone or that they're with an adult, their parents are called to pick them up. If the kids refuse to cooperate, police could be called.
"These policies are not places saying they don't want teens to shop in their centers. They're saying: 'Bring a parent to shop with you,' " said International Council of Shopping Centers spokeswoman Patrice Duker.
There used to be times when thousands of unescorted kids arrived at the mall on a weekend evening, said spokeswoman Anna Lewicki Long. Instances of teens arguing, spitting or hanging out without supervision were making it uncomfortable for other shoppers, she said.
Malls say the policies are improving the environment on weekend nights. Some report that stroller rentals are up on weekend evenings, a sign that families are visiting in higher numbers.
The enormous Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., with 520 stores, has a policy that's about a decade old it calls incredibly successful.
Several mall officials said no one instance led to beginning the policies.
With the new policy, the mall no longer feels like it's a babysitter. Additionally, it has at least doubled the number of stores that cater to teens, with more than 75 now on
site, she said.
Chicago-based General Growth Properties, Inc. which owns and manages 220 regional shopping centers including the Galleria, said three of its malls have parental escort policies and they're in the works at two others.
The Galleria, for instance, had fights break out on both Nov. 11 and March 3. A police report from November refers to a "large crowd of approximately 50 subjects fighting and screaming in apparent riot-like behavior," involving both teens and adults.
The majority of code of conduct violations at the mall, which are not reported to police, are issued to younger shoppers. Those violations include things like running, swearing and loitering, said spokesman Kirk Ballard.
Richmond Heights city and police officials said they're supportive of the mall's new policy, but hadn't asked for it. The Galleria draws millions of visitors annually and normally runs smoothly, they said.
"Where we have implemented it, we have seen extremely dramatic results" he said.
At its Columbia Mall in Columbia, Mo., security used to note about 50 to 60 instances where people were asked to correct their conduct on an average Saturday night. That's dropped to about five to eight conduct corrections a Saturday night since a similar policy went into effect there.

WASHINGTON — Consumer groups said Thursday that freestanding stoves and ovens are being installed improperly and could tip over, injuring or killing people. The groups say 26 people have died from toppling appliances.
Toppling appliance problem grows
or floors.
Officials from Public Citizen, the U.S. Public Interest Research Group and the Consumer Federation of America said free-standing stove and oven units have not been attached properly to walls
Brackets to secure the appliances are required to meet safety-testing company Underwriters Laboratories Inc's standards. But there are no laws that require the brackets to be used during installation.
Joan Claybrook, president of Public Citizen, said appliance sellers and installers are not using the brackets, and as a result at least 26 people have died and 100 injured between 1980 and 2006 when appliances toppled onto people.
Since Underwriter Laboratories
adopted the anchoring standard in 1991, falling stoves and ovens have been blamed for 18 deaths and 46 injuries, according to data compiled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Of these, only one death and three injuries were caused by stoves manufactured after 1991 that were installed without the brackets, commission spokesman Scott Wolfson said.
He said in an e-mail that the agency is "not aware of a single injury or fatality caused by the tipping over of a stove manufactured after 1991 and installed properly."

Energy fee deserves support
$1.50 a small price for years of benefits for students
Next week's election not only allows the selection of student representatives, but also the ability to assert an opinion on the University of Kansas' energy usage.
Referendum No. 1 asks if students want to raise the student fees $1.50 for a Renewable Energy and Sustainability fee. This fee will be used to ensure that by the year 2020, 20 percent of the University's power supply is fueled by renewable energy.
This is an achievable goal and something that may not directly benefit students within the next year or two, but will serve countless others in the future. Reducing toxic emissions, conserving natural resources and taking preventive measures to protect your health; what other selling points do you need to vote yes to this referendum?
Few referenda, or student
dollars, have the ability to improve such a global matter. Given the drastic effects of global warming — which will surely be worse by 2020 — and the incredible difference tiny measures can make, voting no for Referendum No.1 is no less than foolish. For a price barely more than a campus vending machine Coke, you can help the environment, on an ultimately global scale.
Renewability and sustainability are also hot issues within the hot issue of global warming. The 20 percent policy would surely put yet another gold star on the University's exemplary research reputation
While 2020 may seem too distant to comprehend, it is closer than we realize. Surely a student fee for something we can tangibly obtain now would seem more appealing.
However, we don't skimp on
inoculations, smoke detectors or locks for our doors. Those things all ensure safety and a sense of comfort that is difficult to put a price on. $1.50 is a ridiculously cheap price for a sense of comfort that you are making your world a healthier and safer place.
As reported in the Wind Energy Weekly, Gov. Bittar Ritter of Colorado just signed a bill to get the state to be reliant on 20 percent renewable energy by the year 2020.
If the state of Colorado sees this as a beneficial and achievable goal, then certainly the University can achieve it as well. So when voting in the upcoming Student Senate elections, seriously consider Referendum No. 1 and its lasting effects.

Stricter law needed to protect people, pets from pit bulls
Grant Snider/KANSAN
Three-year-old Caitlyn Forsberg was powerless to stop it. Two pit bulls tunneled under the fence in her backyard three years ago and attacked her. Osh Gosh, her golden retriever, came to her rescue, but not before the two dogs bit her multiple times on the face. Eighteen stitches later, Caitlyn returned to her Salina home.
This 2004 incident prompted Salina to place a ban on pit bulls in the city. Under Salina's ordinance, the pit bulls that were in the city before the ban was passed can stay, but new ones cannot come in, and no one can breed a pit bull in Salina. The dogs already there
It is time for Lawrence to do the same.
have to be registered with the city.
Rose Base, director of the Salina Animal Shelter, told the Salina Journal in 2005 that she thought the ordinance made the community safer. The shelter recorded only one pit bull bite in 2005, after recording more than 20 between 2003 and 2004.
If Lawrence adopted a ban like that of Salina, it could produce the same kind of results. Lawrence already has vicious dog policies that require owners of dogs that are declared vicious to register the dog with
the Humane Society and pay a $50 annual fee. The Humane Society will then insert a microchip in the dog to track it if it gets loose.
This is great, but it doesn't seem like enough. It only happens after the dog has hurt someone.

The Centers for Disease control found that 66 people died from pit bull attacks in the United States between 1979 and 1998. Rottweilers
were next in line, killing 39 people. According to the Animal Law Coalition, 32 of the 40 vicious dogs shot by Wichita
police in 2005 were pit bulls. The Coalition also names Wichita as one city in Kansas that will not place pit bulls for adoption.
Not only could a ban on new pit bulls in Lawrence prevent attacks on people, it could also keep other animals safe.
A pit bull attacked Lawrence resident Kylee Stalkfleet's Labrador retriever a few weeks ago. Stalkfleet's veterinarian treated the dog for 10 puncture wounds.
The Lawrence Humane Society and the Humane Society of the U.S. are against pit bull bans. They believe that such breed-specific bans put the blame in the wrong hands. The correct placement of blame, according to both organizations, is with the owners, with people who train their dogs to fight. Certainly, a lot of a pet's disposition is determined by its training. But, these owners who want fight
dogs time and again choose pit bulls, not golden retrievers or Australian shepherds.
Under the ban, current pit bull owners would not have to give up their dogs. They would only have to register the dogs with the city and pay a fine and get a chip if the dog became vicious. If the dogs are never going to hurt a person or a person's pet, then pit bull owners will never have to pay.
Dogs are wonderful, but never should the right to have one endanger another person's, or pet's, right to safety.

Beyonce releases video album
TAYLOR DAWSON
BY ALICIA QUARLES ASSOCIATED PRESS
Beyonce performs on the NBC "Today" television program in New York's Rockefeller Center on Monday. Her "B'Day Anthology Video Album," released on Tuesday, features songs from her multitalent Grammy-winning "B'Day" album.
Richard Drew/ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Beyonce may be one of the hardest working women in show business. She cranked out eight videos in two weeks for her new DVD, "B'Day Anthology Video Album."
"I always wanted to do a video album," Beyonce said in a recent interview, noting that her fans "can watch it whenever they want and not have to go to YouTube."
The 25-year-old singer told AP Television News she was able to pull it off because everyone was well-rehearsed and prepared.
"I knew all the choreography before I started filming the videos. I knew what every hairstyle was going to be before I did it. I knew what every look (was going to be); as far as the makeup and the wardrobe, we already had the fittings," she said.
"B'Day Anthology Video Album," released Tuesday, features songs from her Grammy-winning "B'Day" album. The DVD coincides with the release of a deluxe edition of the disc, with seven tracks in Spanish.
Beyonce, who rides a giant black cat in one glammed-up video for the song "Kitty Kat," said she got a
kick out of reinventing her look.
"I didn't want them to look the same," she said. "Some are in black and white. Some are Super8. Some are very bright, vivid colors. Some are, you know, they look a little retro."
"I wore my hair black in some. I wore '80s makeup in one of the videos. Sixties Mod makeup. It was so exciting 'cause I love fashion, I love dressing up, so definitely it was like
playing different characters."
She added: "I can't believe I did it. But I had a lot of help and a lot of support."
Beyonce's world tour, set to open Tuesday in Tokyo, will run through September, Music World-Columbia Records announced Wednesday. North American stops include New Orleans, Dallas, New York City, Washington, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
FILM
'A Christmas Story' director killed
BY JEREMIAH MARQUEZ
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Film director Bob Clark, best known for the holiday classic "A Christmas Story," was killed with his son Wednesday in a head-on crash with a vehicle that a drunken driver steered into the wrong lane, police and the filmmaker's assistant said.
Clark, 67, and son Ariel Hanrath-Clark, 22, were killed in the accident in Pacific Pallades, said Lyne Leavy, Clark's personal assistant.
The two men were in an Infiniti that collided head-on with a GMC Yukon around 2:30 a.m. PDT, said Lt. Paul Vernon, a police spokesman.
The driver of the other vehicle, Hector Velazquez-Nava, 24 of Los Angeles and his passenger, described as a 29-year-old woman, were taken to UCLA Medical Center with minor injuries.
Velazquez-Nava was arrested Wednesday afternoon and booked for investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol and gross vehicular manslaughter. He was being held on $100,000 bail.
"The initial investigation has concluded that Nava was driving without a license northbound in the southbound lanes while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage." Vernon said.
Clark specialized in horror movies and thrillers early in his career, directing such 1970s flicks as "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things," "Murder by
Degree," "Breaking Point" and "Black Christmas," which was remade last year.
His breakout success came with 1981's sex farce "Porky's," a coming-of-age romp that he followed two years later with "Porky's II: The Next Day."
In 1983, "A Christmas Story" marked a career high for Clark. Darrin McGavin, Melinda Dillon and Peter Billingsley starred in the adaptation of Jean Shepard's childhood memoir of a boy in the 1940s.
The film was a modest theatrical success, but critics loved it.
In recent years, Clark made family comedies that were savaged by critics, including "Karate Dog," "Baby Geniuses" and its sequel, "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2."

Huggins' departure hurts all Kansans
K-State recruits left in limbo

Sophomore pitcher Nick Czyz pitches in the fourth inning of the game against sixth-ranked Texas on Thursday afternoon at Hoglund Ballpark. Kansas lost the game 11-6. Game two of the three-game series is at 3 p.m. tomorrow at Hoolund Ballpark.

Bob Huggins said goodbye to Kansas State basketball Thursday afternoon, after taking the head coaching job at his alma mater West Virginia.
K-State athletics director Tim Weiser was obviously disappointed as he held a press conference to discuss the men's basketball program.
"It was more of a, 'Hey, I'm leaving," Weiser said.
I like coaches that are dedicated to getting the job done. Dana Altman, even though he took the job at Arkansas, realized Creighton was the program he built and returned. Same with Billy Donovan staying at Florida instead of tradition-rich Kentucky. But, let's be honest, Huggins isn't that type of coach.
With the entire coaching carousel going on this offseason, I would not have thought that when John Beilein, West Virginia coach, bolted for the Michigan job in Ann Arbor, Huggins would leave Kansas State.
He recruited Beasley without the NCAA rules overlooking him — and K-State fans loved him for it. How else would a No. 1 recruit
Huggins left on a completely different note than what he was welcomed with, K-State laid out the red carpet for Huggins after he was fired from Cincinnati. Heck, they even started calling the downtown district "Huggieville."
They nearly sold out every game at Bramlage Coliseum for him. There was a rejuvenated feeling at Bramlage for the first time in a long time, especially when Kansas played there on Big Monday in February.

Beasley could get out of his letter to intent and follow Huggins to become a Mountaineer, but Walker would have to sit out an entire season before he could play if he chooses to transfer.
Weiser was asked whether he felt betrayed that Huggins left and, without hesitation, said, "certainly,"
"This was not the time or place," Weiser continually said during his press conference.
After one season, Huggins jolted the Wildcat nation to go back to his hometown of Morganstown. You can't blame a guy for wanting to go home, but this obviously was not the right time.
I never thought Huggins would be at K-State for more than five years, but he is potentially leaving the No.1 high school player, Michael Beasley, and highly touted Bill Walker, who played at K-State last season before he was injured. Yes, West Virginia is Huggins' alma mater, but how do you leave that on the table?
BY ALISSA BAUER
Heading into the eighth, the Jayhawks were nearly in-step with the No. 7 Longhorns. Looking nothing like the 11-6 final, the 6-4 score through the seventh saw the duration of each sixth pitcher's stxinning performance and a solid intro for each staff's relever.
Texas (27-9, 8-2) had nine hits to Kansas' (17-19, 3-7) six during the back-and-forth game, and the pitchers had given up a total of only four walks. The big inning that has plagued the Jayhawks throughout the season looked as if it had stayed away.
It showed up in the eighth
"I actually thought it was a really good college baseball game for the conditions we're playing in and how cold it is," coach Ritch Price said. "I thought both starting pitches pitched well. I didn't expect that with these conditions. We got behind in the count and had to pitch with the fastball there in the eighth inning. They beat us up in the eighth inning."
The Longhorns brought out the bats that put them in the nation's Top 10 against reliever Hiaral Garcia in the visiting half of the eighth. Center fielder Nick Peoples tagged his first home run of the season to lead off the inning. The Longhorns ended up hitting for the cycle as they sent all nine batters to plate and came up with a triple, a double and a single to compliment People's homer.
Garcia also allowed a pair of walks in the five-run-on-five-hit eighth inning.
"We just got behind a little bit
and they're too good of hitters to get behind." Toda freshman third baseman Robby Price said. "They've got a lot of first rounders. You can't do that with a program like Texas."
By the fifth, Texas seemed to be pacing the game, scoring every other inning. Although the lead stretched to 5-2 in the top of the fifth, junior right field Brock Simpson's two
run shot to right put a wrench in the Longhorns' pace.
The wrench turned out to be too small after the lopsided eighth inning, even though Simpson was
one of two runs Kansas put across in its half of the eighth.

No.11 Texas up next
After unsuccessful homestand, Jayhawks depart for Austin
BY EVAN KAFARAKIS
The Kansas softball team (26-13-1, 2-3 Big 12) got some much-needed practice Thursday before heading to Austin, Texas, to face the Longhorns (27-9, 2-3) at 1 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Seven games in seven days have limited the Jayhawks to correcting their recent struggles on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.
"We haven't had a chance to have a solid practice in a couple weeks," coach Tracy Bunge said.
"Last couple of games, we're making mistakes and when you're struggling, that's the last thing in the world you need," Bunge said. "Hopefully practice gets them going in the right direction."
Senior ace pitcher Kassie Humphreys is in a slump. She has given up 17 hits and 16 earned runs, walked six and struck out 11 in her last four outings.
The Jayhawks came in to a five-game homeand winning four in a row against Oklahoma State and Missouri State, but left the comforts of home after losing four of five games.
Defensively, the team has committed seven errors in the past five games.
The offense has hit a stall of its own, scoring only a combined 10 runs in five games while giving up 24 runs to opponents.
It won't get any easier for the Jayhawks as they face No. 11 Texas at McCombs Field.
Texas was projected to be ranked fifth in the Big 12 standings preseason polls, just in front of the Jayhawks, who were projected to finish sixth.
"Texas is a tough place to play," Bunge said. "The thing about the Big 12 is that you never have a day that you can feel like you can breathe. Everybody can play."
The Longhorns hold the all-time series against Kansas 11-10, with a 6-1 record against the Jayhawks in Austin.

Goodbye, Huggins K-State coach leaves unexpectedly
After just one season, Manhattan is no longer Huggieville.
Kansas State men's basketball coach Bob Huggins is leaving the Wildcats to return to West Virginia, his alma mater, according to media reports in West Virginia and Kansas.
In his only season coaching the Wildcats, Huggins led K-State to the postseason for the first time since 1999. K-State advanced to the second round of the NIT and finished the season with a 23-12 recording, including a 10-6 mark in Big 12 Conference play.
Huggins leaves behind the No.
1 recruiting class in the nation, according to numerous recruiting services. Those players, including highly touted prospect Michael Beasley, could be released from their national letters of intent by K-State.
A little more than a year ago, Huggins signed a five-year contract at K-State, which paid him at least $800,000 each season.
Huggins will replace John Beilein, who left West Virigina earlier this week to take over at Michigan.
Kansan Staff Report
Donovan passes on Kentucky, calls Florida home
>> NCAA BASKETBALL
BY MARK LONG ASSOCIATED PRESS
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida coach Billy Donovan wanted to stay. His star players knew it was time to go.
Donovan spurned a chance to return to Kentucky and take over the tradition-rich program, saying Thursday he hopes to build the same in Gainesville.
He'll have to do it without Corey Brewer, Taurean Green, Al Horford and Joakim Noah. The four juniors will enter the NBA draft, saying they have accomplished all they could at Florida.
"I'm happy and I'm sad," Donovan said. "Happy because I've never seen a group of kids grow the way these guys have grown, and sad that I'm
not going to have a chance to coach them anymore... I do not expect any of them back here next year. Their commitment, their focus, is trying to further their careers in the game of basketball.
"When they put their minds to something they're usually very,very successful at doing it."
Donovan and the foursome led the Gators to consecutive national championships, capping the coach's 11 years and setting the foundation for a program he hopes will someday be mentioned with the likes of Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, Duke and UCLA.
The Gators became the first team to win back-to-back titles since Duke in 1992. But following Monday night's 84-75 victory against Ohio State, Donovan's future had become
the biggest question mark surrounding Florida.
Donovan acknowledged interest in the Kentucky job this week, saying he had a lot of admiration for the Wildcats. But he also said he intended to stay in Gainesville.
He proved it Thursday.
"It's all about where you're at in life and what's going to make you happy," Donovan said. "I'm happy here at Florida. I love the University of Florida."
Kentucky received permission to talk to Donovan about its coaching vacancy Wednesday. The coach and Kentucky AD Mitch Barnhart spoke early Thursday morning.
Donovan then met with Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley and agreed to stay put.
"We want to put basketball on
the map here forever," Foley said. "And there's no question he's the key component."
Donovan was the top choice to replace Tubby Smith, who left Kentucky last month to take the head job at Minnesota. Donovan spent five years as an assistant under Rick Pitino in Lexington, quickly learning about Kentucky's unrivaled fan base and unrealistic expectations.

Donovan has a 261-103 record at Florida.

Simpson settles at cleanup
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Brock Simpson has danced up down, in and out of the Kansas batting lineup this season. Now he might finally be focusing in on his responsibilities as the Jayhawks cleanup hitter.
The round-tripper came just four days after Kansas coach Ritch Price yanked Simpson from the series finale against Missouri in the first inning.
"He got a chance to get back in the lineup and a chance to redeem himself today and he made something positive happen," Price said.
Simpson came up to the plate in the top of the first on Sunday against Missouri and popped out to the third baseman near the foul line. Despite strong winds that made pop-ups adventurous for fielders, Simpson didn't run the play out.
When the jayhawks trotted onto the field in the bottom half of the inning, sophomore Nick Faune took Simpson's place in right field.
"Part of my job is to discipline players when they don't play the game the right way," Price said. "One thing we ask from our guys is to play hard, hustle and to respect the game. If you're not going to do that, you're
Faune had a solid game, driving in two runs in his second at-bat, but he also left four men on base.
"His spot in the lineup came up with runners in scoring, position three times on Sunday." Price said of Simpson's fourth spot in the batting order. "From my standpoint, that's being a real bad teammate, too. You put your teammate in a position to fail because you didn't play the game the right way."
However, even before the Missouri series, Simpson wasn't exactly putting up cleanup-hitter numbers.
When Kansas played Kansas State on Tuesday, Simpson's name was nowhere to be found on the lineup card.
"Obviously there wasn't a coach in America who would have played him Tuesday night," Price said.
But since returning to the starting lineup on Wednesday, Simpson appears to be refocused.
Against Kansas Wesleyan, he went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run. And in addition to his two-run home run Thursday, he reached base two more times on walks and scored a second time.
Following solid back-to-back performances, Price is hopeful that Simpson is officially on his way to becoming a reliable cleanup hitter.

"He has really struggled. It's been tough to watch," Price said. "He's got great talent, he's just had an awful season."

"I think the fact that we put the crooked number up was frustrating," coach Price said. "If we could've held them to a one or two-spot, we've still got a chance in the ninth. But when we put the five-spot up we pretty much bury our club at that point in time."
Before that, however, Price was correct about the quality of the game.
Texas' Chance Wheeless is congratulated by teammates after scoring a run in the fifth innning of the game against Kansas on Thursday afternoon at Hooplund Ballpark.
a leadoff bean from Czyz to start the game didn't amount to anything for Longhorns, but a two-out base hit from third baseman Bradley Suttle did. The sophomore drove one to the left side to knock in the first Texas run of the afternoon.
Making a game of the 30-degree April afternoon, Texas changed the lead again in its next at bat. First baseman Chance Wheeless took a Czyz delivery to the right-center field wall for a one-out double highlighting his offense's two-run third.
The Jayhawks took it right back with a quick two-spot in the second. His first day off after 58 straight starts on Wednesday against Kansas Wesleyan did the trick for junior shortstop Erik Morrison. He led off the 'Hawks second with an infield single and scored on sophomore catcher Buck Afenir's two-run double.
Wheeless accounted for two of the nine hits Czyz surrendered. He took the loss after a solid start on Thursday, and allowed just five Longhorn runs.
"A little bit," Robby Price said of his frustration after game one. "But we've got to do a little bit more earlier in the game and capitalize when
we have the chance and just stay with them."

Seniors prepare for final meet
BY CATHERINE ODSON
The Kansas rowing team will take on Kansas State in the Kansas Cup on Saturday for Senior Day.
The first race begins at 10 a.m. The regatta will take place on the Kansas River near Burcham Park, Second and Indiana streets.
The Jayhawks won the seasonending Sunflower Showdown 14-11 last fall, but the Wildcats won last year's Kansas Cup. Kansas will race against K-State three times this spring.
"We want to get ahead and stay ahead," coach Rob Catloth said.
"It itends to go back and forth," he said. "It's not like basketball where we beat them for 20 years. It's always tight."
Catloh said the rowing rivalry didn't have a dominant team.
This weekend's competition will be the seniors' last on the Kansas River. Nine of the 10 seniors learned the sport of rowing after arriving on campus.
Senior rower Whitney Fasbender spent her freshman year as a member of the Kansas track and field team before she tried out for the rowing team. Fasbender said the learning curve helped the team avoid negative competition.
Catloth estimated the rowing team never had more than eight rowers with pre-college experience out of the 50-plus women in the program.
Fasbender said that senior rower Jelayna Da Silva, who rowed during high school in Canada, helped the new rowers understand the sport and helped them work through learning it.
"Because we all came in as beginners and learned the sport together, we became friends first and then teammates," she said.
Catloth said rowers used a combination of endurance and strength that required basketball and volleyball players to develop endurance and runners and swimmers to add strength.
Boston intended to try out for the track team before burning out the summer before her freshman year. She tried out for the rowing team instead.
Junior rower Kara Boston said the experienced rowers reassured the novice rowers and gave helpful hints.
"Everybody was learning at the same time," she said. "You could all start out fresh."
Boston, who also played volleyball, basketball and soccer in high school, said learning to row required her body to adjust to new stresses.
"You develop an athlete who has good endurance and good strength," he said.
Ardis Johnson, a coxswain who finished her eligibility last spring, rowed for three years in high school in Chattanooga. Tenn. She said working with the less-experienced
Kansas rowers tend to be athletes first and rowers second, Johnson said, and combining that with the "excellent technique" the college rowers learn helps the boats go faster and be more powerful.

Go-to post key to championship bid
it's never too early to look forward to the next basketball season, especially
ketball season, especially here in Larryville. ESPN.com has already pegged the Jayhawks as the favorites to cut down the nets next April in San Antonio.
After a few therapy sessions, I've come to grips that destiny got confused and it wasn't meant to be for the Jayhawks to win a national title in my senior year. I've moved on — kind of — and I'm ready to talk about next season.
Next year marks the 20th anniversary of Danny and the Miracles winning the national title in 1988 in Kansas City, With Danny Manning now officially an assistant coach with the team, it kind of feels like it's in the cards for the Jayhawks to be national champions next season.
Florida had Al Horford and Joakim Noah. Sean May carried North Carolina through the tournament in 2005. In 2004, Connecticut had Emeka Kafor. Syracuse had Hakeem Warrick (and his damn long arms) and Kansas had Nick Collison in 2003 — if a few more free throws had fallen for the Jayhawks, the Orangemen wouldn't even be on this list (not like I'm bitter or anything). Lonny Baxter and Chris Wilcox were the difference for Maryland in 2002. Wilcox made Drew Gooden look like a schoolgirl in the semifinals that year. And in 2001, Duke had Carlos Boozer. The list goes on and on.
Manning's Jayhawks in 1988 didn't have as much talent as the 2006-07 Jayhawks or next season's roster even if Brandon Rush goes pro, but they did have Manning, a dominant post player. And every team since then that's won a title has had a go-to guy in the post.
C. R. Larson
With some of these past champions the big men might not have been the first option, but they could at least score and demanded a double team.
The Jayhawks did not have that big man this year. It's why they could barely get up a three-pointer against UCLA. It's why all the pressure was on the guards to score. It's why they didn't make it to Atlanta and if they would have, they wouldn't have won.
For the Jayhawks to live up to the early love from ESPN.com, one of the big men has to become a go-to guy in the post.
The attributes of a go-to guy in the post: scores at least 14 points per game (maybe 12 to 13 with the depth of this team), draws doubles
teams when he gets the ball, which opens things up for perimeter shooters, and he can score with his back to the basket. The candidates: Sasha Kaun, Darnell Jackson, Darrell Arthur and incoming freshman Cole Aldrich.
Julian Wright isn't an option because he's a small forward playing power forward and he'd rather give up bowling than earn his keep in the post.
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
CJMOORE@KANSAN.COM
So who is it going to be? Well, Kaun definitely isn't the man. He's improved his game every year since he's arrived in Lawrence and he's even developed a jump hook. But Kaun is a crusher. He rebounds, he sets screens, he blocks shots, he dunks and he crushes. As for scoring from the post, he just doesn't have the skills. But still, he's a nice role player.
Darnell Jackson was the most consistent layhawk during the NCAA tournament. He understood his role better than any KU player this season. His job was to provide an emotional lift to the team by making hustle plays and the occasional thumping of his chest — his signature move. He also needed to get boards, putbacks, provide a physical presence and make the occasional open 15-footer. He did all those and more at times. But he's not a go-to guy. He's undersized and doesn't have the athletic ability to compensate, which was evident whenever he got blocked at the rim this season. Again, a great role guy; he's probably my favorite player on the team and should be the co-leader on the team along with Russell Robinson next season
Probably too soon to tell with Aldrich. But since ESPN.com thinks it's not too early to predict how next season will go, I'll take a shot with Aldrich too. I predict he'll play 10 to 15 minutes per game next season, score four to five points per game, grab some boards, block some shots and rack up the fouls.
I've seen Aldrich play twice now; once in a game last spring at the Jayhawk Invitational and last week in the McDonald's All-American game. After the Jayhawk Invitational, I left unimpressed.
Well, he was still huge, and he did look like he was a little faster in the McDonald's game. He also showed a nice 15-foot jumper and blocked some shots. He did seem winded. He's going to have to get in better shape to run with the lavwhaws.
He scored one basket, moved very slow laterally and his footwork was sloppy in the post. The thing he did best was be huge.
Aldrich is going to be a good player some day. It's probably not fair to judge a kid after seeing him play twice. It's going to take some time for Aldrich to make a difference for Kansas because he's no go to guy — at least not yet.
So that leaves Arthur. He's the most talented of the bunch. He showed flashes of greatness this year and the success of the 2007-08 Jayhawks lies squarely on his shoulders.
Arthur has the athletic ability. He has enough size to be a dominant college post player at 6-foot-9. But he doesn't have the skill-set yet. This was evident during the season but particularly evident against the Bruins. When Arthur got the ball with his back to the basket, he looked lost. Against UCLA and Southern Illinois, he'd panic and eventually force a bad shot. His one go-to move this season was a fade away jump shot. Dominant college post players don't fade away.
Arthur needs to spend this off season doing four things: work with coach Manning on his post moves, develop a strong go-to move, hit the weight room and watch hours of Nick Collison video. The key to effective post play is great foot work and no one did it better than Collison.
For Kansas to celebrate Danny and the Miracles' anniversary in style, Arthur has to be the man. He doesn't need to be Manning-esque; just a threat who wants the ball and DOESN'T FADE AWAY.
If Arthur doesn't become the go-to guy, Kansas will still win a lot of games, still win a Big 12 title and still make a deep tourney run — just no NCAA title. And if Arthur is the go-to guy, then Kansas should live up to the early hype — maybe cut down a few more nets — and I can save some money by skipping out on my therapy sessions.

》 AUCTION
Jackson wants to stop sale
BY KEN RITTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
says the pop star is considering legal action to stop the sale.
LAS VEGAS — More than 1,100 Jackson family items are set for auction in Las Vegas next month, but a representative for Michael Jackson
"Mr. Jackson was not aware and he is extremely upset that his memorabilia was included amongst the memorabilia that
The Jackson's Auction is scheduled May 30-31 at the Hard Rock hotel resort.
is being auctioned off", said spokes woman Raymone K. Bain.
"Mr. Jackson was not aware and he is extremely upset that his memorabilia was included."
The Jackson Five hit "ABC" and a "Victory Tour" program signed by Jackson family members.
Guernsey's auction house said items include Michael Jackson's gold record for his "Thriller" album, handwritten lyrics for
Arlan Ettinger, founder and president of Guernsey's, compared the sale to an auction of Elvis Presley/Graceland memorabilia he
RAYMONE K, BAIN
Spokeswoman
conducted in
Las Vegas in
1999.
"It certainly is in that sphere of landmark, high-profile, extraordinary auctions," Ettinger told The Associated Press on
Wednesday.
Michael Jackson, 48, has been living in Las Vegas while he evaluates proposals for a comeback after his 2005 acquittal in California on child molestation charges.
His father, former Jackson Five manager Joe Jackson, also lives in Las Vegas. He didn't respond to a
phone message seeking comment.
The status of Janet Jackson's claim was unclear Wednesday. Messages left with her publicist weren't immediately returned.
Ettinger said the collection was owned by luggage transportation company Universal Express Inc., of Boca Raton, Fla., which bought it last year from a New Jersey construction company owner.
Other items include a test pressing of The Jackson Five's "I Want You Back", Marlon Jackson's glitter jacket, Randy Jackson's futuristic 1984 stage boots and a white fedora believed to be from Michael Jackson's "Bad" album music video.
The former owner, Henry Vaccaro, claimed a warehouse full of Jackson memorabilia after a failed business venture wound up in bankruptcy court.
Michael Jackson and his sister Janet Jackson sued to stop Vaccaro from taking ownership, but a Los Angeles judge threw out Michael Jackson's claim in 2006.
It's OK to feel like you can have anything you want. Don't act like that now, however, or you'll create just the opposite.

DAVISON (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
choose Manhattan? In a way, K-State fans knew that Huggins was not the most admirable character guy, so it shouldn't come as that big of a shock that he bolted after one season.
But this does not bode well for Kansas.
The Jayhawks and Big 12 conference need a coach like Bob Huggins in its conference to make it back to the elite status. This pretty much guarantees that the Big 12 will still only get four, maybe five, teams in the NCAA tournament. The days when the Big 12 got six walked out the door a few years back, and when it looks like it might get back to that elite status, Huggins leaves.
Kansas coach Bill Self was a sup
porter of Huggins all season. And for good reason, because coaches want other coaches in their conference to field competitive teams.
Davison is an Overland Park senior in journalism.
Reports on GoPowercat.com mention assistant coach Frank Martin as the leader to become the next head coach — and hold together the top recruiting class in the country. If Martin is able to keep Beasley and Walker in Manhattan it will be miraculous.
But whomever K-State findts to replace Huggins, I'm pretty sure the downtown district will still be Aggieville.

Rose leads as Masters begin with unlikely turn of events
AUGUSTA, Ga. — The cheers broke the morning calm at Augusta National when Arnold Palmer took a mighty swing at his ceremonial tee shot. For the next 11 hours Thursday, the Masters were mute.
Throw together a course that has grown 500 yards with brittle conditions, and there wasn't much to cheer.
Justin Rose was as proud of his 15 pars as his three birdies in a round of 69, which left him atop the leaderboard with Masters
rookie Brett Wetterich. It was the highest score to lead the first round at the Masters in eight years
Tiger Woods tossed away a solid round with bogeys on his final two holes for a 73. Phil Mickelson shot a 76, his worst start at the Masters in 10 years, and still was optimistic about winning another green jacket. Never mind that no one has ever won the Masters after opening with a score worse than 75.
Then again, this was not the Masters everyone has come to embrace the last several years. Birdies were rare. And the so-called "cathedral of golf" was every bit of that for one reason.

Victory would grab Showdown lead
TENNIS
BY RUSTIN DODD
If you think that the Border rivalry with Missouri isn't as fierce in non-revenue sports such as tennis, think again.
Junior tennis players Lauren Hommell and Stephanie Smith already have one trip to Columbia under their belts, and it wasn't a pleasant journey.
"People are rude to you when you go out to eat," Hommell said.
Smith said that so far funny faces and rude comments have been the extent of their troubles. However, there is a rumor that the team is not allowed to drive a van marked with "Kansas," because a Missouri fan
"I'm not sure if that's true," Smith said. "It didn't happen to me."
once put water in the van's gas tank.
Practical joles aside, Kansas will go to Missouri on Saturday hoping to gain a victory after three consecutive losses. Kansas defeated Missouri 6-1 last season. A victory against Missouri this year would provide a key conference victory for a Kansas team that sits 2-4 in the Big 12 Conference and 4-11 overall.
"We need to beat the — well I hate to say lesser teams — but the more beatable teams," Hommell said.
Missouri (6-10) would fit into that category. Missouri is 1-7 in the Big 12 Conference and enters Saturday's match having lost seven of their last eight.
Hommell and Smith said that the team had been concentrating on improving in doubles at practice.
"It seems that every time we get the doubles point, we get the win," Smith said.
Smith is right about the doubles point, which goes to the team that wins at least two of the three doubles matches. Kansas is 4-0 when winning the doubles point and 0-11 when losing it. Kansas does benefit by having one of the strongest No. 1 doubles teams in the Big 12. Junior Elizaveta Avdeeva and sophomore Edina Horvath are currently 12-3 and 5-1 in the Big 12.
A victory for Kansas would also give Kansas three points and a 15-13 advantage against Missouri in the
annual Border Showdown series, which awards points for all sports. Kansas currently trails 12-13, but won the event last year 23-17.
After Missouri, Kansas finishes the season with four Big 12 matches against Kansas State, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas A&M.
"We're all keyed up this match," Smith said. "Hopefully we can get a victory and have success the rest of the season."

Japanese pitcher stuns players, fans
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After striking out three times, Ryan Shealy sounded amazed.
"I didn't know he threw that hard," he said.
With millions of early rising viewers keeping track on Japanese television, Daisuke Matsuaka struck out 10 in seven innings in his major league debut Thursday to lead the Boston Red Sox over the Kansas City Royals 4-1.
Dice-K was more than OK in his major league debut.
"I can't say that my overall condition was that great today, but I think the role of a starting pitcher is to set up
the game and give my teammates the opportunity to win," he said through an interpreter. "I feel like I was able to do that today, so I was satisfied."
On a cold, blustery afternoon, Matsuzaka (1-0) allowed six hits, including a sixth-inning homer by David Delesus, and walked one. He looked every bit the ace Boston committed $103 million to.
"Any time you have that good of a fastball and the offside to go with it, it's tough," Shealy said. "He mixes up speed on his pitches and moves it in and out. You can't really get comfortable with."
His fastball clocked at 95 mph and his famed array of fastballs, changeups and breaking pitches at times was dazzling.

KU OPENING PITCH
STAR WATCH
Junior second baseman Ryne Price is peaking at the right time. Before Wednesday's game against Kansas
Price
Price
Wesleyan, Price had at least one hit in the Jayhawks' last four games. That streak included two doubles.
four RBI and three home runs. Price has started all 34 games this season and his seven homers leads the team.
QUESTION MARK
Kansas pitching as a whole. In the last week, the offense is showing familiar signs of consistency, but the pitching is still a toss-up. Coach Ritch Price discussed how difficult it is for his hitters to continuously face a multiple-run deficits. In the last four games, no starting pitcher has escaped with less than four runs allowed as the team ERA creeps closer to five.
3 REASONS KUWINS
ONE — Paul Smyth
The sophomore closer has been lights out with a 1.61 ERA in 18 appearances. The walk-off home run he surrendered at Missouri on Sunday was the first home run Smyth allowed this season, a rarity not likely to be repeated this weekend.
TWO — The Price boys
Due to an injury, Ryne Price played very little in last year's series against Texas, and never had the chance to hit. As a freshman, Robby Price has also yet to try his hand at Texas pitching. The brothers may turn out to have a secret weapon type of effect.
THREE — Hoglund Ballpark
Though Texas swept Kansas last season, they couldn't do the same on Kansas'turf the year before that. This is the Longhorns first trip back to the "Hog" since losing the series to the Jayhawks in 2005.
UNDER PRESSURE
GAME DAY
Jayhawks look to build momentum against favored Longhorns
KANSAS VS.TEXAS 3 p.m. Today/ 1 p.m. Saturday, Hoglund Ballpark
Kansas 17-19,3-7 Big 12
OFFENSE
Thought to be the Jayhawks most potent threat when the season started, the Jayhawk offense has not yet hit its stride. Kansas is hitting just .287 as a team, but its 31 homerun total is an accurate precursor as to what the bats can do when they get going. Although they lost three of their last four, the Jayhawks' bats aren't the reason. Against Missouri last weekend, Kansas hung with the Tigers, matching the 11 and 12-hit counts on Saturday and Sunday. Fri day marked the only game in which Kansas was seriously out hit, 15-7. However, that was also the game the Jayhawks won
KU KU KU
PITCHING
Just as the Jayhawk pitching staff takes a step forward, it takes a step-and-a-half back. The starter-closer combo was picture perfect in game one versus Missouri last weekend. Sophomore lefty Nick Czyz scattered four runs throughout a solid six innings. Sophomore closer Paul Smyth took over in the seventh, allowing only one run and picking up his second victory as the Jayhawks came back to win with him on the mound. The rest of the weekend didn't go nearly as smoothly. Saturday starter Zach Ashwood surrendered six runs in his 4.2 inning start while sophomore lefty Andy Marks let eight runs score in his short four-inning start on Sunday. Although the Kansas staff holds a much higher ERA at 5.05 than Texas' 3.37, the Jayhawk pitchers have struck out 55 more batters this season.
Texas 27-9,8-2
KU KU
MOMENTUM
Before Kansas took on Kansas Wesleyan last night, the Jayhawks had won just three of their last 10 games. Even though momentum is nowhere near their side, especially in Big 12 Conference play, the Jayhawks are clawing their way through every game. Kansas suffered only one blowout in that 3-7 slide, a 14-4 loss against Oklahoma State on Mar. 23. Besides that game, the average margin of loss in the last 10 games is just over two runs per game. The momentum Kansas gained from coming back on Missouri to win game one last weekend was stripped away by Sunday—sealed with a walk-off homer to end the series in the Tigers' favor.
PITCH
Texas has four two punch in start Russell and Adrian Alan ERA and, combined, with 15-3 with 105 striked eight wins, Alaniz is national leaderboard also last week's Big and has one shut impressive as AL Randy Boone has games. He appears national leaderboard and 20 appear does have an BAA, so he is weakest pit third start latest used rota
MOMI
Texas has taking three but clinched troubles the Longhunt two games of those since win game winning key i Tex
Robby Price
OFFENSE
KU
The Longhorns are the second-most dangerous offense in the Big 12 Conference. Entering its series with Kansas, Texas is batting .333 as a team with 274 runs, 401 hits and 38 home runs. The Longhorns are disciplined at the plate with 158 walks, which is tops in the conference, and only 205 strikeouts. Texas is also aggressive on the base paths with 58 total stolen bases. The Longhorns are coming off a 14-9 victory against UT-San Antonio on Tuesday. It was the 12th time this season the Longhorns scored in double-digits and tied their second-highest scoring output of the season. Right fielder Kyle Russell leads the nation in home runs with 18, but he isn't Texas's only weapon. Every Longhorn with more than 30 at-bats is hitting over 275.
— Alissa Bauer
PITCHING
texas has found an effective one punch in starting pitchers James Russell and Adrian Alaniz. Alaniz has a 1.75 ERA and, combined, with Russell they are 1.5-3 with 105 strikeouts to 31 walks. With eight wins, Alaniz is on the Boyd's World national leaderboard for victories. He was also last week's Big 12 Pitcher of the Week and has one shutout on the season. As impressive as Alaniz is as a starter, closer Randy Boone is equally so at the end of games. He appears on the Boyd's World national leaderboard with eight saves and 20 appearances. However, Boone does have an 0-5 record and a .277 BAA, so he isn't untouchable. Texas' weakest pitching link has been its third starter. Joseph Krebs is the latest pitcher the Longhorns have used to complete their weekend rotation.
MOMENTUM
Texas has had no trouble taking the first two games of its three-game series this season, but clinching sweeps has proved troublesome. Six times this year, the Longhorns have won the first two games of a series, but in four of those six series, they've failed to win game three. Nevertheless winning weekend series is the key in college baseball and Texas has become proficient in that area. Texas hasn't lost a weekend series since its Feb. 9-11 series with Long Beach State. The Longhorns have been 23-5 ever since and have won 13 of their last 15 games.
Shawn Shroyer
UT OPENING PITCH
STAR WATCH
Kyle Russell, sophomore right fielder, is on a torrid pace. He currently leads college baseball with 18 home
runs and a .902 slugging percentage. His 107 total bases and 1.388 OPS also register on the Boyd's World national leaderboard. If a base is open, the Jayhawks could be wise to give Russell the ole intentional walk as often as possible.
TU
Russell
QUESTION MARK
With Texas' consistent success in the first two games of three-game series, its focus has shifted to game three. The third spot in the rotation appears to be Joseph Krebs' to lose, but he's struggled in his last two starts. In his starts in Texas' final games with Kansas State and Oklahoma he's allowed seven runs in eight innings and the Longhorns lost both games.
3 REASONS UTWINS
ONE — James Russell
He pitched six innings against the Jayhawks on Thursday and got the victory. He gave up five hits, four runs and hit one batter — Ryne Price. After game one, his record is now 7-2.
TWO — Adrian Alaniz
He brings a 1.75 ERA and an 8-1 record into today's match-up as the starter. On the season, he's only given up eight total hits for extra bases. — six doubles, one triple and one home run. Alainz has struck out 50 batters so far this season.
THREE — Randy Boone
If Kansas doesn't jump on Texas early, it's highly unlikely the Jayhawks will be able to mount any late-inning comebacks against Boone. He has struck out a in 36 innings. Though his record is 0-5, he has accumulated eight saves.

》 SALARIES
Negotiations between University, GTAs include pay raise
BY NATHAN GILL
A 23-month contract dispute between the University of Kansas and its graduate teaching assistants is closer to an end. Provost Richard Lariviere said the University hoped to implement an independent arbiter's recommendations, released in a report Friday, which sided with the University.
The dispute centered on four items: the 10-semester limit on GTA appointments, on-campus GTA union representation, GTA salaries, and the method in which grievances between
GTAs and the University are settled. University procedure toward each non-monetary item will incur little or no change, while the University will increase its minimum salary for GTAs by $250.
Larivieu said the University would also give GTAs, on average, an 11.3 percent pay raise and offer GTAs returning next semester a merit-based raise to be determined by individual academic departments. He said the 11.3 percent increase reflected raises the University would have paid GTAs during the last two years, but was prevented from giving
because of contract legalities.
"I'm just absolutely delighted that this is done," Lariviere said. "It's probably the most frustrating thing I've done here in my 10 months."

Concerning the 10-semester GTA appointment limit, the arbiter decided the University
"I'm sure it will be a big relief to a lot of GTAs to receive a raise after all this time." Martin said.
In regard to on-campus union representation, the arbiter suggested the University's offer for GTAs to announce the time, date and location of union meetings at its August and January GTA orientation meetings. The Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition, a union whose members
recommended it undertake a study to see if the limit should be revised. The arbiter decided that the University's GTA grievance procedure should not be altered, though both sides offered slight amendments.

》 STUDENT SENATE
Seats open in Ignite's absence
BY ASHLEE KIELER
The big winner in last year's Student Senate elections won't be on the ballot when voting begins later this week.
In early January, the Ignite coalition pulled out of Student Senate elections and dissolved completely after the United Students coalition formed without Ignite's knowledge.
Four members were nominated for both the president and vice presidential spots last November. The
remaining members of the coalition voted for who they thought would best represent their party in April. Austin Kelly, Lawrence junior, won the nomination for vice president. Hannah Love, Dodge City junior and Adam Hurly, Sioux Falls, S.D., sophomore, tied for the presidential nomination.
After another vote between Hurly and Love, Hurly received Ignite's nomination.
Hurly thought the talk of a new coalition would just blow over.
But, behind the scenes, there was talk of forming a new coalition.
"I thought the coalition was behind me," Hurly said. "I thought I had everyone's support."
Love said she and Wittlinger began talks of forming a new coalition before the nomination process even began. The formation process gained steam after Ignite's nominations.
"We weren't happy with the way the coalition was going." Love said. "We knew something was going to
have to change."
Love and Wittlinger said they formed the coalition as a way to better represent the student body and as a way to balance what they believed to be Ignite's one-sidedness.
"They weren't willing to represent all people, including the Greeks," said Love, the coalition's presidential nominee.
Hurly, who is not a greek, said that some people in the coalition

Boathouse plans finalized Coach hopes construction begins by fall

it's taken 12 years, but Saturday might have been the last time the Kansas rowing team competed in Lawrence without a true home.
Although there are no plans to immediately begin construction on the student-funded boathouse near the Kansas River, rowing coach Rob Catloth hoped construction would begin by the fall.
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the Athletics
Department was working with the city to finalize plans for the project. The boathouse will be built at Burcham Park, which is city property.
"It's very, very necessary," Catloth said of the project. "I think it's going to help recruit immensely because it's going to level the playing field."

POWWOW
KU group unites tribes on campus Celebration attracts Native Americans nationwide to dance
X
BY KATY BLAIR
A nationwide Native American reunion kicked off with dancing Saturday in the Robinson Center.
Jake Bread, a ninth grade student from West Junior High, attended the powwow with his family.
First Nations Student Association played host to the 19th annual powwow for Native-American tribes across the United States. Tribe members from as far as New Mexico brought their families together to participate in dance competitions.
The regalia Native Americans wear during powwows is expensive and time-consuming to make. Beads, feathers and bells were hand-sewn onto material to make outfits that Red Corn said are the equivalent of tuxedos. Native Americans try to look their best during powwows, he said.
"It's a chance for Native students all over the KU campus to celebrate their culture and help share it with others," said Jon Red Corn, president of the First Nations Student Association and Pawhuska, Okla., senior.
Bread started dancing when he was 5 years old but had to quit in sixth grade because of the expenses.
The regalia is handed down through generations, making some of it old and cherished by the family.
Red Corn said powwows were a way for Native-American families to honor events such as marriages, births or deaths.
"I'm trying to get back into it again," Bread said. "I like it because of the competing, and it's fun to travel."
The style of dancing depends on which tribe the dancer is from, said Dustina Abrahamson, committee member of the First Nations Student Association. Northern and southern dance styles are different, and men and women have distinct styles as well.
When the audience was invited onto the floor, Bread took his chance to dance and enjoy his Kiowa and Cherokee heritage.
Abrahamson said women in many tribes look down at their feet while dancing to make sure

Spotlight on Organizations
BY AMRUTA BHADKAMKAR
Cricket is practically the national sport of India and Pakistan. It is a national craze in both countries and with the Cricket World Cup going on now, the sport is drawing more attention worldwide.
The Cricket Club of KU is in the process of becoming an official sports club at the University.
Imran Ghazali, club president, said the goal of the club was to have an organization that would represent and support those who want to play cricket. Club members have been playing cricket on campus since last spring.
Ghazali said he thought the time
had arrived for a structured and organized platform to support and fund their cricket matches and to promote the game.
Ghazali said the team usually competed against itself in scrimmages or against the Johnson County Community College team. He said he hoped the club team will join the a 12-team league that includes other cricket teams in Kansas in the future.
One of the club's upcoming events is a kick-off event. The focal point of the event is a match that will be played on the field behind the Watkins Memorial Health Center. The purpose of playing it on-campus is to invite others to join and who are interested and to introduce

Retirees hire cabbie for cross-country move
NEW YORK — Betty and Bob Matas have retired and are moving to Arizona, but like many New Yorkers they don't drive, and they don't want their cats to travel all that way in an airliner cargo hold.
Their solution: "Hey, cabbie."
They met taxi driver Douglas Guldeniz when they hailed his cab after a shopping trip several weeks ago.
They got to talking about their upcoming move, and "we said 'Do you want to come?'" said Bob Matas, 72, a former audio and video engineer for advertising agencies. "And he said 'Sure.'"
It was initially a gag, Matas said, but as they talked it over it became reality.
They plan to leave Tuesday on the 2,400-mile trip to Sedona, Ariz., with Guldeniz driving his yellow SUV cab 10 hours a day for a flat fee of $3,000, plus gas, meals and lodging.
They're getting a break. The standard, metered fare would be about $5,000 — each way, according to David Pollack, executive director of the Committee for Tax Safety, a drivers' group. But city Tax and Limousine Commission rules direct drivers and passengers to negotiate a flat fare for trips outside the city.

IGNITE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
felt that an election could not be won without a greek member or a woman on the ballot.
"There are 50 other seats to be filled in Senate," Hurly said. "There are a lot positions that can be filled for representation."
Nolan T. Jones, a founding member of Ignite and Pittsburg senior said a myth surrounding recent Senate coalitions said that a coalition had to have a male and female and a Greek and a non-greek as its top nominees. Ignite met neither of those elements.
Ashley Bloom, Hutchinson junior and former Ignite member, said it was awful to see the coalition built on the group's ideals be torn apart.
"It was a slap in the face to all that worked together the year before to form the coalition," Bloom said.
During the nominations process, Jones asked the nominees which was more important — victory or ideals — in a one-word answer.
"Only two answered ideals," Jones said. "That was Adam Hurly and Austin Kelly."
Members from Ignite went in three directions. Some went on to support Delta Force, others joined United Students and the rest dropped out of Senate all together.
Hurly said his decision to ultimately bow out of the election came because it wasn't a game he
was willing to play.
"People said it wasn't personal, but friendships were being sacrificed and people were being tugged between the two coalitions," he said.
Elections begin Wednesday between United Students, Delta Force and Students' Rights.
Hurly wants to remind students to put their vote behind the group they feel has the potential to affect campus through effective leadership.

MILITARY Oklahoma National Guard units set for mobilization
MILITARY
PAWHUSKA, OKA. — Most days, Earl Smith is the Army National Guard in this rural town of a few thousand, looking after a half-empty armory that's scheduled to close in a couple years because of military downsizing.
Smith also sits on the school board here, one of many towns whose fortunes fell when the oil bomb went bust years ago.
He is thinking about retirement after 35 years with the military, but those thoughts will have to wait. The 53-year-old sergeant first class is preparing to take about two dozen
soldiers from this armory into Iraq next year on a security mission.
They are among 13,000 National Guard troops in Oklahoma, Indiana, Arkansas and an as-yet unspecified state expected to be notified soon they could be sent to Iraq around the first of next year, military officials say.
Today, members of Smith's unit work at car dealerships, construction sites and factories. One is recently unemployed.
This time next year, they could be in a desert half a world away from their home towns, behind the wheel of an armored vehicle or manning a 50-caliber machine gun.
In January, the 45th infantry Brigade — 3,500 National Guard
soldiers strong — was picked for possible deployment sometime next year.
Oklahoma, which has lost two National Guard soldiers since 2003, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, was among four states selected for the mission and Pawhuska among the dozens of towns in the state where units of the 45th are based. The National Guard has not disclosed the names of the other three states.
If the orders stand, it would be the largest mobilization of Oklahoma soldiers since the old 45th Infantry Division was called up for the Korean War.

BOATHOUSE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
With nine seniors graduating this year, six of whom raced on the first varsity eight in the Kansas Cup against Kansas State on Saturday, the project could help with recruiting immediately. Catloth said the team had 20 scholarships and about 75 roster spots.
The team races on the Kansas River but lacks a building for storing its boats. The boats are fenced in to keep vandals or thieves away, but the bigger problem is the lack of a roof to keep nature out. Last spring, the microburst completely destroyed a small boat. A hail storm later in the year damaged boats again.
Along with storage space, the facility will feature a medical training room and locker rooms, which Catloth said would help make the area seem more like home to the

team.
The construction will be funded by a student fee approved on referendum in the spring of 2006 to fund women's and non-revenue sports. The department will cover any additional costs for the boathouse, a $3 million to $4 million dollar project.
Catloth commended students for passing the fee increase and Athletics Director Lew Perkins for taking the initiative to look out for non-revenue sports.
"It's been a concern for all 12 years since the program started," he said.

Ian Blaine, Haskell Indian Nations University sophomore from Stephan, S.D., said that although he has gone to about 40 powwows per year, he hasn't danced for about two months. He said he was eager to dance on Saturday.

Issues remain unresolved
Deferred maintenance high priority; annual break brings no closure
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — When legislators started their annual session in January, their leaders spoke with urgency of the need to deal with deteriorating buildings on state university campuses. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius made it high priority.
The Board of Regents estimates its universities have a backlog of $663 million worth of repair projects, and it believes the list will grow if legislators don't pass a plan this year. But the board also doubts some of the ideas being floated.
But relatively little happened during the 82 days that followed. No comprehensive plan addressing a backlog of university repairs has emerged from committee. Sebelius outlined a proposal, but it was dead before the bill was introduced.
Legislators are taking their annual spring break and are scheduled to reconvene April 25 for a brief session, wrapping up their business for the year. While they've yet to finish work on other major issues, like health care, they're the farthest away from a resolution on the universities' problem.
Senate President Steve Morris (R. Hugoton) said it was an urgent issue last week.
The university's maintenance problem is actually two issues bundled together. The first is the backlog, which would require a large, yet-to-be-provided infusion of money over a short period of time.
The second is the annual cost of keeping up with maintenance, so that the backlog doesn't grow, which the regents estimates at $84 million.
The state levies a tax of $1 for every $1,000 of a property's assessed value to finance educational building projects, and it raises about $31 million annually. But almost half of that money is going to pay off bonds for a "Crumbling Classrooms" initiative designed in 1996 to address some maintenance issues.
If the universities want to put more than the remaining $16 million into maintenance, they have to divert the money from other programs.
"It's a big price tag, and the challenge is to identify revenue streams that deal not only with the backlog but with the ongoing need to ensure that sufficient dollars are flowing to state universities to deal with maintenance," Reggie Robinson, the regents' chief executive officer, said.
Whatever the reasons for the lack of progress toward a comprehensive plan, it's clear that addressing the universities' maintenance is the biggest piece of business left for legislators.

Recruiting hype affects athletes
BY DAVE SKRETTA ASSOCIATED PRESS
Blake Larson, right, speaks with fellow officers during Crisis Intervention Team training at the Lenexa Police Station on Friday. Larson, a police officer in suburban Kansas City, was a 6-foot-7, 320-pound offensive lineman and the prized recruit of the University of Iowa a few years ago. He never started a game and quit the program after his junior year. Larson is one of many former high school stars whose college careers never fulfilled their unrealistic expectations.
SHAWNEE — Blake Larsen wishes he could have been just another guy on campus.
Larson, a police officer in suburban Kansas City, was the 6-foot-7, 320-pound offensive lineman and the prized recruit of the University of Iowa a few years ago. He was a Parade All-American, rated by several experts as the top offensive line prospect in the country.
Larsen never started a game.
Larsen never started a game.
“It’s tough to stay grounded,” he said, reflecting on a promising career gone awry. “You’re the center of attention. You start to believe your own hype.”
Larsen quit the Hawkeyes program after his junior year and is one of many former high school stars whose college careers are tarnished by unfulfilled, and often unrealistic, expectations.
While injuries and academic problems have doomed many, experts and administrators increasingly say external influences — mainly fans and the media
— are contributing to the downfall of high school athletes when they reach college.
In some cases, players develop a sense of entitlement that sets them up for failure, said Dr. Doug Gardner, a sports psychologist with ThinkSport Consulting Service in Lafayette, Calif. In other cases, athletes wilt under the pressure and scrutiny.
"A lot of young people get totally absorbed in the situation," Gardner said. "They're flattered that someone is interested in them."
R. Gerald Turner, co-chairman of the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, said the increased attention is "dramatically impinging upon the lives of student-athletes," turning them into commodities by people "who
care nothing about them other than their news value"
Turner, the longtime president of Southern Methodist University, said there is a pressing need for reform in recruiting, but acknowledges there is no good way to curtail growing public interest.
"We've become very concerned with the intrusiveness of the whole process on the lives of these young people," Turner said, "as if nothing about college is of importance other than how many stars they get on their athletic ranking."
Companies such as Rivals.com and Scout.com have found a niche in recruiting coverage, and in turn are becoming the target of athletics reformers like Turner.
By the time the football signing period ended April 1, both sites had posted extensive profiles on nearly every player who signed a Division I letter of intent. Most were accompanied by photographs and video clips.

Roadside bombs kill seven soldiers
BY RAHIM FAIEZ ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan Roadside bombs in southern Afghanistan on Sunday left seven NATO soldiers dead, the alliance said, as its forces continued an anti-Taliban offensive in the world's most fertile opium-producing region.
It appeared to be the biggest
It appeared combat loss for foreign troops in Afghanistan since 2005.
Six troops died and one was injured when one of the bombs struck their vehicle, the alliance said in a statement. Canadian Prime Minister
Stephen Harper confirmed they were Canadian troops, Canadian Press reported.
A separate roadside bomb killed one NATO soldier and wounded two, NATO said.
"Once again, the Taliban showed that they are following the steps of terrorist networks."
Officials did not release the nationality of those soldiers and did not give details or say where exactly in the south the attacks took place.
exchange for the Italian journalist, the government released the prisoners, but for the Afghan journalist, the government did not care," Alat said.
The fatalities underline how virulent Afghanistan's Taliban-led resistance remains, more than six years after a U.S.-led invasion drove the hardline militia from power for harboring al-Qaida.
The attack on the Canadians appeared to have inflicted the worst toll on foreign troops in a single combat incident since a U.S. helicopter crashed in Kunar in June 2005. Sixteen American troops died.
SAYED ANSARI Afghanistan's intelligence service
Separately, a purported spokesman for the Taliban said the kidnapped translator for an Italian journalist was beheaded on Sunday in southern Afghanistan. The Afghan government confirmed the death.
Sayed Ansari, a spokesman for Afghanistan's intelligence service, said the Taliban executed Naqshbandi on behalf of al-Qaida.
"Once again, the Taliban showed that they are following the steps of terrorist networks," he said.
Ajmal Naqshbandi, a freelance journalist and translator, was kidnapped March 5 in southern Afghanistan along with journalist Daniele Mastrogiacomo and a driver.
U. S. officials also condemned the
The Taliban made a similar demand in return for Naqshbandi's release.
The driver was beheaded. Mastroglacomico, who worked for the daily La Repubblica, was released March 19 in a much criticized swap for five Taliban militants.
"We asked for two Taliban commanders to be released in exchange for Ajmal Naqshbandi, but the government did not care for our demands, and today, at 3:05 p.m., we beheaded Ajmal in Garmsir district of Helmand province," said Shahabuddin Atal, who claimed to be a spokesman for regional Taliban commander Mullah Dadullah.
"When we demanded the
I concemned the translator's execution.
"This barbaric killing reminds us of why the United States and NATO are in Afghanistan in the first place: to help the good people of that country defeat the Taliban extremists and their al-Qaida allies," said Gordon Johndroe, President Bush's national security spokesman.
In the eastern Paktika province on Sunday, two Afghan guards were killed and five wounded during a four-hour firefight with Taliban militants near the border with Pakistan, according to the U.S.-led coalition, which is operating separately from the NATO-led force.
Militants fired mortars and a rocket on a coalition checkpoint in the village of Kakakhel. Troops returned fire and called in an airstrike, leaving two militants dead and three others wounded, the statement said.
Also Sunday, in the eastern Khost province, a gunman riding on the back of a motorcycle opened fire on Afghans working for ISAF, killing two of the men and wounding another, ISAF said in a statement.
And in the eastern Nangarhar province, a suicide car bomber blew himself up next to an U.S.-led coalition convoy, said Ghafer Khan, spokesman for the provincial police chief. One soldier was lightly injured, a coalition statement said.
The latest violence came days after more than 1,000 NATO and Afghan troops retook Sangin district in the opium-producing Helmand province.
The next step will be for NATO to hand over control of the area to Afghan security forces, said Lt. Col. Maria Carl, a spokeswoman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force. She added that NATO already has transported about 500 Afghan forces to the south.
The operation to retake the town from militants started late Wednesday and is part of NATO's largest ever offensive in Afghanistan, Operation Achilles, launched last month to flush out Taliban militants from the northern tip of Helmand province.

"Traditionally, comic strips were owned by syndicates," Newcombe said. "We were different because we allowed cartoonists to own their own work. It was because of Johnny's commitment to this idea that made us a success."
"He had such an emphasis on kindness, generosity, and patience," said Richard Newcombe, founder and president of Creators Syndicate in Los Angeles.
Besides his wife, Hart is survived by two daughters, Patti and Perri. He was a native of Endicott, about 135 miles northwest of New York City, and drew his comic strip at a studio in his home here until the day he died.

Shiite cleric orders increased efforts to oust U.S. military
BY STEVEN R. HURST
BY STEVEN R. HORST
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD — The powerful Shiite cleric Mugtada al-Sadr ordered his militiamen on Sunday to redouble their battle to oust U.S. forces and argued that Iraq's army and police should join him in defeating "your archenemy." The U.S. military announced the weekend deaths of 10 American soldiers, including six killed on Sunday.
Security remained so tenuous in the capital on the eve of the fourth anniversary of the U.S. capture of Baghdad that Iraq's military declared a 24-hour ban on all vehicles in the capital from 5 a.m. Monday. The government quickly reinstated Monday as a holiday, just a day after it had decreed that April 9 no longer would be a day off.
Among the 10 U.S. deaths announced Sunday were three soldiers killed by a roadside bomb while patrolling south of Baghdad; one killed in an attack south of the capital; and two who died of combat wounds sustained north of the capital, in Diyala and Salahuddin provinces. On Saturday, the military said, four U.S. soldiers were killed in an explosion near their vehicle in Diyala.
At least 3,280 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. The figure includes seven military civilians.
South of Baghdad, a truck bomb exploded near the Mahmoudiyah General Hospital, killing at least 18 people and wounding 23. The pickup truck loaded with artillery shells blew apart several buildings in a warren of auto repair shops.
Violence in Iraq remained as relentless as the deepening debate in the United States about the way forward in the war four years after Marines and the Army's 3rd Infantry Division swept into the Iraqi capital 20 days into the American invasion.
At least 47 people were killed or found dead in violence Sunday, including 17 execution victims dumped in the capital.
Al-Sadr commands an enormous following among Iraq's majority Shiites and has close allies in the Shiite-dominated government. The statement Sunday carried his seal and was distributed in the Shiite holy city of Najaf, where the cleric called for an enormous demonstration to mark the fourth anniversary of Baghdad's fall.
"You, the Iraqi army and police forces, don't walk alongside the occupiers, because they are your archenemy," the al-Sadr statement said.
He urged his followers not to attack fellow Iraqis to but all their efforts on American forces.
"God has ordered you to be patient in front of your enemy, and unify your efforts against them — not against the sons of Iraq," the statement said.
Al-Sadr apparently issued the statement in response to three days of clashes between his Mahdi Army militiamen and U.S.-backed Iraqi troops in Diwaniyah, south of Baghdad.
In Washington, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, an independent of Connecticut, said al-Sadr's words showed the American troop surge was working.
"He is not calling for a resurgence of sectarian conflict. He's striking a nationalist chord. We're going to have to watch him closely. He's not our friend. ... He's acknowledging that the surge is working," the senator, a strong backer of the war, said on CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer."
In Najaf, police spokesman Col. Ali Jiryo said cars were banned from entering the city for 24 hours starting 8 p.m. Sunday. Buses were to be at all entrances of the city to transport arriving demonstrators or other visitors to the city center. Najaf residents would be allowed to drive, he said.

Edwards' wife plays active role
BY NEDRA PICKLER ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON They say that behind every successful man, there is a great woman. In the case of John Edwards,the woman is moving from behind the scenes to a more prominent role in his presidential campaign.
As the two campaigned this past week through Iowa and New Hampshire, she became a draw in her own right. Supporters waved signs that said "Iowa Lives Strong for Elizabeth" and "Elizabeth for First Lady," and staff quickly put up rope lines around her at the end of campaign events to control the well-wishers who mobbed her.
Elizabeth Edwards, who once wrote she liked campaigns when she was a safe distance from the cameras, is now firmly in the spotlight since the couple announced last month she is fighting a recurrence of cancer.
She said if curiosity or compassion bring out voters who will listen to her husband speak, she is happy to be the draw. But Elizabeth Edwards' influence on 'her husband's career runs long and deep.
"She's the person I trust most in
the world and I rely on her for both personal and policy counsel," John Edwards, the former Democratic senator from North Carolina, said in an interview last week. "She's involved in everything."
He said his wife combines a talent for keeping the campaign focused on the struggles that people face with "a very wonky side."
Elizabeth Edwards has helped shape everything from his policies to his speeches and campaign staff. She even makes suggestions for the wording in his press releases, although she says her advice is not always taken.
The couple, who met at University of North Carolina's law school, share a similar political philosophy, yet they do not always agree. That includes the Senate vote to authorize war with Iraq that John Edwards has said was the most important of his career.
She was opposed from the beginning. She did not feel there was provocation for war and she did not trust President Bush with the authority. But John Edwards decided to vote the opposite way and she did not try to change his mind.
as time passed, John Edwards began to believe he made the wrong
decision.
"We talked about it a lot," Elizabeth Edwards said, "and he was saying to me that it was so hard to come to that conclusion because young men and women lost their lives. ... Then he decided, 'Let's face it, I was wrong and I'm going to have to say it, even though I know what it means.'"
In longhand, he wrote out an explanation for his vote that began: "I was wrong." He submitted the draft to his aides. They advised him to cut those first three words.
"I talked to Elizabeth about it and I said, 'I really feel this is what I need to say,' he said. "And she said, 'Of course that's what you need to say if that's your feel.'"
He is not the only one to hear Elizabeth Edwards's strong opinions.
She has a reputation for being tough on staff who do not meet her expectations and he said he counts on her to help interview job candidates to judge whether they are "really committed to the cause."
Elizabeth Edwards often expresses her opinion on Internet forums, usually using her own name. She began chatting online before it was so popular — after the death of their teenage son in 1996, when she was looking for support in her grief.

Fundraising overshadows crucial issues
A potential diplomatic and military crisis was narrowly defused Wednesday when Iran, in what it deemed a "gift," agreed to release 15 captured British soldiers. Iranian president and open-shirt-collar enthusiast Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in his infinite and somewhat creepy wisdom, saw the obvious benefit of avoiding confrontation with Britain and her slightly more cavalier ally across the pond.
This was big news. However, you may have noticed it was largely relegated to the secondary space on most news sites and broadcasts in favor of a much more irrelevant story: the fundraising reports from major presidential candidates. The gods of media are loath to let such a story get the short shrift, and they
were typically hyperbolic when reporting the hauls of each candidate.
So, the first quarter fundraising reports of six "leading" candidates — quotation marks connoting the willing and sensible ignorance of most voters thus far — became the story of the day, if not the week. The airwaves were abuzz with potential consequences of the reports, and the punditocracy gleefully twittered with baseless speculation. Obama rivals Hill Edwards is trailing! Mitte blew Rudy away! McCain has to resort to packaging tactics — he must be in trouble!
On and on they went, the Russerts and Schneiders of the world, awash in the meaningless frivolities of a race 18 months
from culmination. The fundraising is broken down, dissections are performed: Who got how much from where? Were they individual donors? Will he have to drop out? Has she been overexposed? Is this race over before it began?
And what is learned in all of this? Is one voter educated by this droning, this clamorous bustle to provide the most unsubstantiated generalization? The media have reached new heights in their apparent aspiration to completely abdicate their responsibility to inform. Lost in this fuss about fundraising is actual discussion or comparison of policies and principles, which have become mere accoumentments to the glamour of money. Campaign finance has become the story, with
policies acting as mere secondary plot thread.
This situation is not easily corrected. Cable news, like cable sports, has resorted to endless analysis to fill its many hours of coverage. Only so much news occurs in a given day, and the remaining time must be ceded to plattitudinous discourse on the merits of check bundling versus a focus on Web donors. A student must become dedicated in seeking out news sources that provide relevant and substantive news coverage. Only then will future generations be informed and prepared.

With the release date set for July 21, three months remain to ponder the ending of the popular series and fans can't wait to share their opinions about what will happen
to Harry and the rest of the gang.
While the cover art for the books has never been stunning, the art for the final book gets the job done. With Lord Voldemort's thin, spidery hands reaching for something and his sinister red eyes transfixed, readers can only guess at how the story will play out.

I know, Chadd's a little behind. Harry moved on to Ginny Weasley in the sixth book but bravely backed out of that relationship to protect his reputation — wait, I mean to protect her from getting hurt. Not to mention that they're way too young and way too repressed to even reach first base — at least, in their world.

way. Neville kills Voldemort, as the prophecy says, "either must die at the hand of the other, for neither can live while the other survives". Because Neville and Harry both were born at the end of the seventh month, Neville the not-so-obvious hero of the story.
2. Hermione finally takes her rightful role as leader of the ill-fated trio and throws the Explodo Popp curse at Voldemort, killing him instantly.
3. Harry's parents resurrect in ghost-like form when Lord Voldemort is about to kill Harry. With his parents' help, Harry finally manages to recite the Pave B-ackk Iz H-elle curse, killing Voldemort by making his blood boil as if it were poison. That or he dies and his parents arrive just in time to give Harry the royal escort to The Place That All Wizards Go When Dead.
4. After several tries at incarnating Harry look-alikes, Dumbledore's
Army has finally figured out the correct mixture of potions to create an exact replica of Harry, which they refer to as Harrybody. When the final battle ensues, Harrybody battles Voldemort until a curse causes him to evaporate. Harry then takes over the battle and continues the brawl with the already
weakened Voldemort. Harry easily conjures the Paye B-ackk Iz H-elle curse, seizing his rightful spot as ruler of the wizard world.
5. Ginny and Harry's love, along with Ron and Hermione's, is so great that Voldemort's curses once again are rendered ineffective.
Remember, Harry's mother's love is
what saved him from Voldemort's initial murderous curse. The love from the two couples is so overpowering that Voldemort finally realizes love, not death, conquers all.

--eggs that may have been fertilized from latching to the uterus' wall and developing into a baby. Depending on the contraceptive used, this second backup mechanism is responsible for preventing up to 30 percent of potential pregnancies.
Gabriella Souza, editor
864-4854 or gsouza@kansan.com
The most effective artificial contraception is the pill. The pill introduces hormones intended to prevent ovulation. Most people believe that this is the mechanism by which the pill works. However, drug manufacturer Web sites reveal two backup mechanisms that almost all forms of the pill have. These mechanisms are sometimes listed as the actual mechanisms of the pill.
Nicole Kelley, managing editor 864-4854 or nkelley@kansan.com
Natalie Johnson, associate opinion editor 864-4924 or niohnson@kansan.com
Nevertheless, these facts lead us to an inconvenient truth: Though the goal of the pill is to prevent pregnancy, it ensures you don't end up with a child by providing a very early term abortion if necessary. So much for the writer's statement that "Regardless of abortion viewpoints, and perhaps even because of them, birth control should be more affordable and more widely available."

The raising of contraception prices is not an "absolutely unacceptable" situation. It may be a means to reduce promiscuous behavior. In my thinking, the most effective way to avoid the consequences of imprudent sexual activity is to avoid such behavior. The most effective means of reducing unwanted pregnancies is chastity. Perhaps the sexually active should give it a try.
One mechanism changes the consistency of cervical mucus to make it difficult for sperm to reach and fertilize the egg. The second thins the uterus' lining. This prevents
An assessment of the second backup reveals no real difference between it and an early abortion. The drug RU486, a subject of controversy in recent years, is an abortifacient and works similarly to birth control pills. Both discard a developing baby from the uterus, a highly effective way to end an "unwanted pregnancy."

Contraception in all forms is a rejection of the creation of life for whatever motive one may have. To those who wish to simply avoid the consequences of sex by contraception these facts are of little concern. However, to those who hold all life to be sacred, birth control pills are no less a form of abortion.

The letter "University should consider student's needs for economical birth control" published April 2 stated that the birth control pill was "the most effective tool against unwanted pregnancies and unnecessary abortions." I have to agree with the statement about "unwanted pregnancies," despite my distaste for such a term, but I think some education and clarification on the abortion statement is in order.

'The pill' has abortifacient aspects
Those who believe abortion to be immoral must also object to this form of contraception. To see any real difference is splitting hairs.

Pope Benedict XVI looks on for the "Urbi et Orbi" ("To The City and to The World") Easter address from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican on Sunday.

Pope bemoans 'slaughter'in Iraq
BY FRANCES D'EMILIO
ASSOCIATED PRESS
VATICAN CITY — On Christianity's most joyous day, Pope Benedict XVI lamented the "continual slaughter" in Iraq and unrest in Afghanistan as he denounced violence in the name of religion.
In his message for Easter, Benedict said suffering worldwide puts faith to the test.
"How many wounds, how much suffering there is in the world," the pontiff told tens of thousands of pilgrims, tourists and Romans gathered Sunday at St. Peter's Square where he had just finished celebrating Mass.
Benedict, delivering his traditional "Urbi et Orbis" Easter address from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, denounced terrorism and kidnappings, and "the thousand faces of violence which some people attempt to justify in the name of
religion" as well as human rights violations.
"Afghanistan is marked by growing unrest and instability," Benedict said. "In the Middle East, besides some signs of hope in the dialogue between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, unfortunately, nothing positive comes from Iraq, torn apart by continual slaughter as the civil population flees."
He also had harsh words about the "underestimated humanitarian situation" in Darfur as well as other African places of suffering. These included violence and looting in Congo, fighting in Somalia, and the "grievous crisis" in Zimbabwe, Benedict said political "paralysis" threatened Lebanon's future.
"Suffering, evil, injustice, death, especially when it strikes the innocent such as children who are victims of war and terrorism, of sickness and hunger, does not all of this put our faith to the test?" Benedict said.

Wright likely to declare for NBA today
One Jayhawk basketball player could declare for the NBA Draft today — but it's not the obvious one
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
Sophomore forward Julian Wright, who has repeatedly maintained that he would return for his junior season, may have changed his mind.
Wright will announce his intentions at a press conference this afternoon. Those intentions reportedly include hiring an agent and declaring himself eligible for the NBA Draft.
If chosen, Wright would almost
Sophomore forward Julian Wright is likely to announce this afternoon that he will skip his junior and senior seasons and head to the NBA.
The allure of a big payday may be too much for Wright to resist, as well as the risk he would run next season if he were to get injured or go through a slump. Throughout this year, he said he would come back to finish his degree. He is on pace to graduate next May in his third year at Kansas and promised his mother he would get a college diploma.
Prior to Sunday's news, nothing had indicated that Wright might leave. Speculation focused on sophomore guard Brandon Rush, who is continuing to weigh his options and has yet to make a decision about the draft.
certainly be among the top 10 players selected, guaranteeing him a two-year contract for millions of dollars.
If Wright were to leave for the
NBA, it would have an impact on several other players. Freshman forward Darrell Arthur would be assured of a starting spot, giving him further incentive to return for another year. Incoming freshman Cole Aldrich would also have the opportunity to contribute immediately.
In addition, Kansas would no longer be responsible for Wright's scholarship. Due to NCAA sanctions, the team was one scholarship above the limit for next season. That would no longer be the case.
Neither Wright nor coach Bill Self could be reached Sunday evening. Self was on the West Coast recruiting but will return from that trip today.
NBADraft, a Web site that tracks how NBA scouts are rating
players, had Wright projected to be the fifth pick overall in the draft. However, the site took his name off the board after his repeated assertions that he would stay in school.
One option for undergraduate college players is to declare for the NBA Draft but not hire an agent or accept any endorsement money. If a player did this, they would be able to withdraw from consideration before the June 28 draft. As soon as a player accepts money or hires an agent, his NCAA eligibility expires.

SEEDENT ON PAGE 3B
For the Big 12 Conference, the past has never looked better. In 2002 and 2003, the conference got six teams in the NCAA tournament and two in the Final Four each season. Those two years seem further away than Model T's and rotary telephones after this week of chaos.
With the departure of Bob Huggins at Kansas State and Billy Gillispie at Texas A&M, the big 12 will struggle in the near future. Assuming Kevin Durant leaves Texas, only Kansas and Kansas State will likely make the NCAA tournament. The Longhorns have a chance if their players can develop without Durant.
The Wildcats aren't a lock yet.
Not with Frank Martin.
Martin does have head coaching experience at the high school level. He coached Miami High in the mid-1990s. Again, Kansas State praises his three state titles and especially his 1998 season. That year the Stingarees went 36-1 and finished No. 2 in USA
K-State's new head coach has the experience of a bellboy. Oh wait, according to the official Web site of Kansas State Athletics, he did more than just buy suitcases and book travel plans last year as Huggins' assistant coach. Martin was responsible for the "daily development of the program's big men." He did a great job too.
Martin turned freshman center Jason Bennett from a top-50 recruit into a stiff, whose successful games were ones in which he didn't throw a temper tantrum. K-State's other highly touted big guy, Luis Colon, averaged two points per game.

Kansas drops series to Texas
Pitchers can't contain Longhorn star
BY ALISSA BAUER
Coach Ritch Price revealed the scouting report after the 6-5 series finale loss against No. 7 Texas (28-10, 9-3) on Saturday.
"Don't let Russell beat you," Price said, reciting the report.
Longhorn right fielder Kyle Russell entered the weekend leading the nation with 18 home runs. The Kansas (18-20,4-8) pitching staff was successful in keeping the sophomore in the park in the games one and two.
He couldn't be contained in game three.
In the top of the fifth, sophomore lefty Andy Marks put two runners on via walks, bringing Russell to the plate with two on and one out. He put an 0-1 delivery over the right field fence to put his team ahead, 4-1.
Russell continued to pester Marks, who needed one more out to escape
the seventh with the 5-4 lead when Russell sent a solo shot out to tie the game at five. He was the last batter Marks faced.
When Marks was lifted for closer Paul Smyth in the top of the seventh, he had given up only four hits to Texas (28-10, 9-3). Unfortunately for Kansas, three of the four were home runs.
“It's really frustrating,” Marks said. "I can't say which one of those would've been home runs if the wind wasn't blowing. A couple of them I didn't think were going to be out
Sophomore Buck Afenir agreed with his sentiment. He went 3-for-4 and scored a run as the designated hitter Saturday. As the Jayhawks usual starting catcher, Afenir knows first-hand how the wind can affect Kansas pitchers.
— I think the wind definitely got a hold of them."

First varsity eight wins race, team takes regatta
BY CATHERINE ODSON
Starting to sprint shortly before Kansas State made the difference for Kansas' first varsity eight boat. The layhawks' come-from-behind victory clinched the Kansas Cup for the first time in four years.
The Jayhawks fell behind early in the race and trailed in the regattas point standings. The first varsity
eight boat — led by senior coxswain Samira Naji and rowed by seniors Lindsey Miles, Jelyna Da Silva, Tiffany Jeffers, LlynnAnn Laugesen and Tricia Sawtelle; juniors Kara Boston and Elisheva Patterson; and sophomore Carrie Selden — used two strong pushes in the second half of the race to make up the deficit and ultimately win by less than two seconds.
Naji said the race was unlike any she had been in.
Kansas finished in 5 minutes
50.86 seconds; K-State followed at
5:52.06.
"Coming from behind, you never know if you can push hard enough to win, and the way they pushed, we've never raced like that ever," she said.
After crossing the finish line,
"That was one of those very few and far between finishes that's an awesome feeling," she said. "It's kind of like angels come along, pick you up and move back. You just dig deep
some of the Kansas rowers leaned back in their seats or crouched forward. Da Silva described the end of the race as "painful" as the boat continued to push despite being behind.
and find it and go."
Kansas faced a 10-4 deficit entering the final race. The Jayhawks won the novice four, worth one point, and varsity four, worth three points, but fell behind in the novice eight and second varsity eight, which were each worth five points. The first varsity eight race was worth eight

Doubles difficulties plague Jayhawks
Comeback singles effort can't make up for dropped doubles matches against Missouri Tigers
BY RUSTIN DODD
When the Kansas tennis team has won the doubles point this season, the team's record is 4-0. When it has lost the point, its record is 0-12. Unfortunately against Missouri on Saturday, the Jayhawks were unable to come away with the point.
Wavering doubles play continued to haunt a team that just hasn't been able to win two out of three doubles matches. The team could not recover after dropping two out of the three doubles matches, and fell 4-3 to Missouri on Saturday in Columbia. Kansas dropped to 4-12 on the season and 2-5 in the Big 12 Conference, while Missouri improved to 7-10 overall and 2-7 in
the Big 12.
The No. 1 doubles duo of junior Elizaveta Avdeeva and sophomore Edina Horvath continued their winning season by opening the dual with an 8-2 victory against Racquel Wagner and Katelyn McKenzie. Avdeeva and Horvath improved to 13-4 on the season and 6-1 in the Big 12.
But the tennis version of the Border Showdown quickly swung in favor of Missouri with Tiger victories in the No. 2 and No. 3 doubles matches. Those two victories gave Missouri the dual's doubles point and the momentum heading into the six singles matches.
Things looked even bleaker for Kansas when junior Lauren Hommell
was forced to default her match to Missouri's Kaitlin Dunham at the No. 4 singles position. Hommell, one of many layhawks plagued with injuries this season, lost the first set 6-1 before injuries sidelined her for the rest of the dual.
Down 2-0, Kansas fought back with three consecutive singles victories. Avdeeva defeated Amanda Pratzel, 6-2, 6-3, at No. 1 singles while Horvath took down Erika Josbena, 6-3, 6-4, at the No. 3 position. Sophomore Yuliana Swiston gained her 10th victory in her last 12 matches by defeating Katelyn McKenzie, 6-0, 6-4, at No. 5 singles.
Kansas' comeback attempt was spoiled when they Missouri took
the two remaining singles matches.
Freshman Kunigunda Dorn lost the No. 2 singles match in three sets to Missouri's Chrisy Svetic, 2-6, 7-5,
6-1, and Missouri's Jacquel Wagner dropped junior Stephanie Smith at No. 6 singles, 6-3, 6-4, in the deciding match.
Kansas dropped to 1-6 on the road this season, while Missouri improved to 5-4 at home.
Kansas will return home to take on in-state rival Kansas State at 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Driver powers way to finish line
BY MIKE HARRIS ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Second-year driver Will Power started from the pole and finished at the front Sunday, running away with the inaugural Champ Car World Series Vegas Grand Prix.
While three-time defending series champion Sebastien Bourdais and heralded rookies Graham Rahal and Simon Pagenaud all failed to finish the season-opening 1-hour, 45-minute race, Power never had a problem.
Power said he had been anticipating his first Champ Car win since last fall's race in his native Australia, where he started from the pole for the first time.
"I knew we could win after Surfers Paradise where we got taken out when we had the lead," he said. "This one is sweet."
It appeared for a while that the race would be a battle between Power, last year's top rookie, and
It appeared for a while that the race would be a battle between Power, last year's top rookie, and 2003 series champion Paul Tracy,
who started side-by-side on the front row. But Tracy had an early problem in the pits and wound up third.
"Obviously, Will was quick and I was quick. We were pulling away from everybody," said Tracy, getting a good start on what he hopes will be a comeback year after finishing seventh in the points in, 2006. "But, on my first pit stop, we didn't get all the fuel in and I had to come back in."
The victory was a great birthday present for Team Australia co-owner Derrick Walker, who last celebrated a Champ Car victory in 1999 when Gil de Ferran won at Portland.
With everyone driving the new Panoz DP01 cars in their first racing test, some drivers had problems, with fuel couplers, fuel bladders and gearboxes. But Power's No. 5 entry was perfect and he drove a flawless race.
With different pit strategies by several of the lead-lap cars, Tracy found himself in front late in what turned out to be a 68-lap event. But Power, who lost the lead when he made his final stop on lap 46, was easily the fastest driver on track at that point and likely would have passed Tracy if he hadn't given up the lead on his pit stop on lap 56.

Kansas splits Texas series
BY RUSTIN DODD
In her last start, senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys pitched only 1 1/3 innings, giving up five runs. Afterwards, coach Tracy Bunge had to field questions about what was wrong with her first team, All-Big 12 Conference pitcher.
"Kassie will bounce back and Kassie will be fine" Burne said.
On Sunday against No. 11 Texas, Humphries bounced back.
Humphreys threw seven inning of scoreless softball, striking out 11 and surrendering only two hits in a 2-0 victory against Texas in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader. Kansas dropped the second game to Texas, 3-2.
She also contributed from the plate, as the senior added two hits for Kansas. She scored the deciding run with two outs in the second inning on a two-out RBI base hit from sophomore second baseman Dougie McCauley.
McCaulley also finished with two
hits and scored Kansas' second run in the seventh inning on a single from sophomore shortstop Stevie Crisosto.
The victory against Texas gave Kansas its second victory against a ranked opponent this season. The Longhorns are the highest-ranked team the Jayhawks have defeated since they beat the Longhorns last season.
Despite another strong pitching performance from Humphreys and freshman pitcher Sarah Vertelka in the second name. Kansas fell 3-2.
Kansas jumped ahead in the third inning on Crisosto's RBI single that brought freshman outfielder Tracy Luben home from second base.
Texas roared with three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Kansas cut into the lead in the top of the fifth when freshman outfielder Ally Stanton doubled down the left-field line, advanced to third on a McCaulley sacrifice and scored on a Texas throwing error.
In the end, Kansas could not break through Texas pitcher Erin Tresselt. Tresselt improved her record to 8-1.

Cardinals break out of slumps

BY CHRIS DUNCAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Albert Pujols and Scott Rolen got the big hits they needed to break out of early slumps.
Dave Einsel/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Puijols hit a two-run homer and Rolen had four RBI to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 10-1 victory against the Houston Astros on Sunday.
Houston Astros' Brad Lidge delivers a pitch during the ninth inning of a baseball game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday in Houston. Lodge gave up five runs in the inning as the Cardinals heat the Astros 10-1.
Pujols' third-inning homer off starter Jason Jennings was the slugger's first hit of the series and it shook him out of a 1-for-17 skid.
"Sometimes you see the ball well," Pujols said. "You need to make adjustments and I try to make an adjustment every at-bat. That's what I did today — tried to figure out how they were pitching me and hopefully adjust to those things."
Rolen came into the game with only two hits in his first 17 at bats this season. He had an RBI single in the eighth inning and a three-run double in the ninth off closer Brad Lidge.
"You can't get confidence without success," Rolen said. "I certainly feel better leaving Houston."
The Cardinals finished with 13 hits after mustering 29 in their first five games.
"We needed to get going." Pujols said, "and obviously, that's what we did today. Everybody contributed. That's what our goal is."
As the St. Louis offense broke loose, starter Kip Wells shut down the Astros and outpitched Jennings, his former college teammate at Bavlor.
Wells (1-1), a Houston native, allowed one hit and struck out seven in seven scoreless innings. He retired the last 16 batters he faced after hitting Chris Burke with a pitch in the second.
the more Wells relaxed, the better he felt on the mound.
"The first couple of innings, I was putting a lot more effort into the pitches than I did as the game progressed," Wells said. "As I backed off a little bit, that gave me a little better command and a little better finesse. For me, that's something I constantly need to be aware of — not trying too hard."
Jennings (0-1) gave up five hits, including Pujols' homer, and struck out five in five innings. He got no support from the Astros' offense,
"Jennings threw a pretty decent ballgame," Astros manager Phil Garner said. "He deserved better."
which managed two runs or less for the fourth time in six games.
Houston finished with three hits and fell to 1-5, matching its worst start since 1990.
"We looked like we hadn't had any spring training today," Garner said. "We did not take good at bats at all."
The Astros play 14 of their next 16 games on the road.

But they forgot to mention that Miami High had to forfeit its state title and that its record was changed to 0-37. Oops.
DENT (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Today's national poll.
Martin allegedly gave fake addresses for players such as Steve Blake and Udonis Haslem, both of whom are now in the NBA, so they could play at Miami High.
But we know Martin didn't get hired because of a great track record. He got hired because he can baby-sit Bill Walker and Michael Beasley for one year. They'll be the ones calling the shots.
"This is one of the most, if not the most, blatant violations of FHSAA rules," said Ron Davis, head of the FHSAA, to the Miami New Times in 1998.
Huh, Martin bends the rules to win. Since when does K-State hire coaches with sketchy pasts?
K-State might be good in spite of Martin next season, but success won't last long. Assistants rarely make good coaches at major Division I programs.
Iowa State made assistant Wayne Morgan head coach after it forced out Larry Eustachy in 2003 so the Cyclones could hold onto talents Curtis Stinson and Will Blalock. Morgan made one NCAA tournament in three seasons.
Texas A&M could fall into the same trap as Kansas State and Iowa State. The Aggies are supposedly looking to name their new coach from within. It might not even matter who they hire. Gillispie gave the basketball program its first NCAA tournament appearances since the 1980s. Texas A&M will not be able to replicate that success in the near future unless John
Wooden comes out of retirement.
None of the other Big 12 programs will rival Wooden's UCLA teams either. Missouri coach Mike Anderson found it hard to win with full-court pressure in a major conference, Oklahoma's Jeff Capel ended the Sooners' 26-year postseason streak in his first year. Nebraska doesn't appear close to making its seventh NCAA tournament berth in school history. Oklahoma State collapsed this season and won't have Mario Boggan back for next year.
Colorado will surprise people. The Buffaloes couldn't have hired a better coach in Jeff Bzdelik. Bzdelik led Air Force to an NIT semifinal and an NCAA tournament appearance in two seasons. Before that he coached the Denver Nuggets to the playoffs and only got fired because Carmelo Anthony clashed with him. Bzdelik will have Colorado in the top half of the conference in his second season.

The Big 12 will be down, but that won't hurt Kansas. The Jayhawks, who could possibly be without sophomore stars Julian Wright and Brandon Rush, could be among the top 10 teams in the nation. It won't matter that they'll steamroll most of their conference foes. If Florida played Prairie View A&M for 16 games this season, it still would have won the NCAA tournament. The Gators were better than every other team. As long as the Jayhawks play a tough nonconference slate, they'll be fine in the postseason.
They'll also give the Big 12 its only shot at earning respect.

The novice eight and second varsity eight boats struggled to get started. Catloth attributed the slow starts to confusion about the race conditions. Strong winds forced the boats to use floating winds instead of being tied in. The races started when the officials determined the two boats were lined up.

Padres squeeze past Rockies
San Diego wins 2-1 in 10-inning game against Colorado
BY BERNIE WILSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — As good as it felt for slumping Kevin Kouzmanoff to single in the winning run, he still had the wild Giles brothers to contend with.
"He speared me." Kouzmanoff said. "He just dropped his shoulder right into me. But you've got to be prepared for that, I guess. It's just a lot of fun."
Later, as Kouzmanoff spoke with reporters, Marcus Giles and pitcher Clay Hensley ambushed the rookie, smashing shaving cream pies into his face.
Reliever Doug Brocail handed him a towel, and Kouzmanoff didn't miss a beat.
"I was looking for a good pitch to
hit and I got it and I hit it the other way" he said.
Actually, there was more to it than that. The hit snapped a 2-for-20 season-opening slump for Kozummanoff, obtained in an offseason trade that sent popular second baseman Josh Barfield to Cleveland.
Padres manger Bud Black sat Kouzmanoff on Friday night to help the third baseman clear his mind after starting 2-for-17.
"I've been struggling a little bit lately," Kouzmanoff said. "It feels pretty good to pick my team up."
It was San Diego's second consecutive win against the Rockies, and both came late. On Saturday night, Adrian Gonzalez doubled in Jose Cruz Jr. with one out in the ninth for a 3-2 victory.
On Sunday, Cruz tied it with a homer off Aaron Cook, who otherwise was brilliant.
In the 10th, Khalil Greene tripled to right-center off LaTroy Hawkins (0-2) with one out. With the infield drawn in, Kouzmanoff singled past
diving first baseman Todd Helton to bring in the winning run.
"I'm just going through an adjustment period right now," said Kouzmanoff, who came up with the Indians in September and hit a grand slam on the first big league pitch he saw.
Black said it was "wonderful" to see Kouzmian bounce back.
Cruz said Kouzmanoff "is the kind of guy who can win a batting title. He's so simple and coordinated and strong. It's a long season. Pretty soon he'll have a 4-for-4 day and he'll be hitting .300. It is good to see him do that."
"The thing about it is, he cares a great deal. I think he wants to make a great first impression. He's not overly pressing, but you want to get out of the gates in good fashion. This guy's going to hit," Black said.
San Diego's bulpen got nine straight outs to extend its scoreless streak to 18 2/3 innings, the longest in club history to open a season. The bulpen is 3-0 after six games.

St. Louis looks to future after disappointing season
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — In mid-December, the st. Louis Blues were seemingly destined for a second straight lastplace overall finish in the NHL.
After only 32 games, the Blues were 12 games below .500. After Andy Murray was hired as coach, they were 11 games above .500 the rest of the way. In the final four months they beat many of the NHL's top teams, and they remained competitive even after star forwards Keith Tkachuk and Bill Guerin were sent to contenders at the trade deadline.
"We're building something here," defenseman Christian Backman said. "It looks very, very, very interesting."
Next season they could be a franchise to watch.
"I think we can look back and be proud of that," goalie Curtis Sanford said. "It just shows how much character we have, how much everybody cares, and how much pride we have."
St. Louis finished 34-35-13 with 81 points, a huge improvement after trailing the NHL with 57 points a year ago. They've missed the playoffs the last two years after a 25-year run of consistency, but believe they're ready to contend again.
Even while they're stockpiling for the future. The trade deadline deals leave the team with three first-round picks in the Entry Draft and eight picks in the first four rounds. Defenseman Erik Johnson, the first overall selection last year, could make the jump from the University of Minnesota next season.
Murray, who has a reputation for being good with developing talent, deserves much of the credit. Davidson said he was worried another franchise might beat him to the punch before the Blues let Mike Kitchen go and hired Murray on the same day.
Forward T.J. Oshie, the No. 1 pick in 2005 who helped North Dakota advance to the NCAA Frozen Four in St. Louis, also could be ready to sign. There's plenty of young talent in place already, including forwards Lee Stempniak, Jay McClement and Brad Boyes.
The well-respected Murray has
"We'll give it a run," team president John Davidson said. "We've come a long way. We can compete."
"Since the trading deadline, we've had the youngest team in the league and yet we've continued to get points, and get points in a lot of places," Murray said. "We ended up being above .500 at home since Christmas and we ended up being over .500 on the road."
been named head coach of the Canadian entry in the world hockey championships that begins later this month. He made an immediate impression, saying the slate was clean for all in his opening news conference and then backing that up by benching veterans who didn't measure up.
The Flames entered their finale on Sunday with 96 points for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, so it'll take another big step up. To bridge that gap, the franchise will need to upgrade at center.
Goalie and defense already have been addressed, with Manny Legace and Eric Brewer signing contract extensions.
Previous ownership alienated a loyal fan base by trading off Chris Pronger before the 2005-06 season. Blue-collar play helped win a lot of them back by the end of the season.
"The people of St. Louis came to respect how hard we worked, and we've laid a foundation," Murray said. "Every season stands on its own and we need to come out next season and play just as hard, but I like to think we did end it on a positive note."
"If we can get some guys off the injury wagon and get all of us playing together for a string of games, I think we've got a heck of a team," Brewer said.

ENTERTAINMENT Reality show becomes ad for Trump Tower II
LAS VEGAS — Donald Trump is using his assistant-grooming reality show to sell units in his second Las Vegas condominium tower.
For a one-hour episode of "The Apprentice" scheduled to air Sunday, contestants were tasked with devising a marketing plan for Trump Tower II, which, like its predecessor will be 64 stories of gold glass just off the Las Vegas Strip, developers said.
The challenge is formidable.
Las Vegas' once-hot condo market has cooled in the past year, leaving dozens of projects stalled in blueprint stages and many condo buyers wanting out.
Trump's Las Vegas projects are partnerships with casino owner Philip Ruffin, owner of the New Frontier hotel-casino next door.
Both towers include about 1,300 luxury condominium units, with a hotel rental option, at prices ranging from $700,000 to $7 million.
completion two years later, is estimated to cost $700 million. Gross sales on the towers are projected to reach $2.5 billion, making it Trump's largest project to date, said Jack Wishna, a dealmaker involved in the project.
Regardless of the plans contestants devise, "The Apprentice" episode is itself a shrewd piece of marketing. Wishna said.
"It probably would cost us $60 million if we were to advertise for a full hour on prime-time TV" he said.
Tower I is expected to cost $600 million and be completed in early 2008. Tower II, targeted for

ENTERTAINMENT Los Angeles Philharmonic director resigns to compose
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Philharmonic's music director, Esa-Peka Salonen, announced Sunday he will step down at the end of the 2008-2009 season to concentrate on composing.
His successor will be Gustavo Dudamel, a 26-year-old Venezuelan conductor with limited experience conducting a professional orchestra.
Salonen, 48, said he would continue to conduct the Philharmonic and other orchestras.
The Finnish-born Salonen's scheduled resignation from the Philharmonic after 17 years would make him the nearly 90-year-old cultural institution's longest-serving director. He is credited with programing a creative lineup of performances and guiding the Philharmonic into its new home at the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall in 2003.
"It is with love and pride that I regard all we have accomplished. As hard as this is, I know now that the right moment has come for me to step down," Salonen said in a news release issued by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association
Dudamel, who was signed to a five-year contract beginning in the 2009-10 season, is a relative newcomer. He had never stood before a professional orchestra before winning a competition sponsored by the Bamberg Symphony in Germany three years ago.
Since then, he has conducted some of the world's most important orchestras, including the Boston Symphony.
Dudamel's U.S. debut was conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl in 2005.

Underdog claims Masters
BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUGUSTA, Ga. — A strange week at the Masters saved the biggest surprises for the end Sunday — unheralded Zach Johnson won the green jacket, and beat Tiger Woods to do it.
Johnson pulled away from Woods and the rest of the pack with three birdies in a crucial four-hole stretch along the back nine of Augusta National, closing with a 69 for a two-shot victory and only the second of his career.
Johnson, 31, is the least accomplished Masters champion since
Larry Mize chipped in to beat Greg Norman in a playoff 20 years ago, but this was no fluke. Even as some of the thrills returned in the final round, Johnson kept his calm.
And there wasn't anything Woods could do about it.
"This is very surreal — very, very surreal," said Johnson, who was on the Nationwide Tour four years ago and has not won in the big leagues since 2004 at the BellSouth Classic. "I didn't think it would be this year, but I had no idea."
Woods looked like a lock when he took the lead after a short birdie on the second hole, only this major didn't work out like so
many others. Johnson and three other players came after him, and this time Woods was the one who backed off with sloppy mistakes — a broken club, shots that either found the water or the bunker and too many putts that stayed out of the cup.
It was the third time Woods lost a lead during the final round of a major, and the first time he ever failed to get it back.
Rob Carr/ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEGON
Johnson finished at 1-over 289, matching a Masters record last set in 1956 for highest winning score. And it ended a streak of the winner coming out of the final group at Augusta National ever year since 1991.
Zach Johnson reacts after chipping in for birdie on the eighth hole during the final round of the 2007 Masters golf tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., on Sunday. John won the Masters with a one-over 289.
The week featured bone-dry conditions, more bogeys than birdies, frost coating the manicured lawn in the morning and one last peculiar sight — Woods walking up to the 18th green with no one left behind him on the course and no trophy waiting for him at the end.
He closed with a 72 and tied for second with Retief Goosen and Rory Sabbatini, who each shot 69 on a day when the course finally allowed something that resembled those fabled charges on the back nine.
Johnson did it the old-fashioned. wav.
So much for that theory that the Masters is only for the big boys. Johnson didn't try to reach any of the par fives in two all week, yet he played them better than anyone with 11 birdies and no bogeys.
"I knew if I stayed in the present, I'd do well," he said. "I kept rolling that ball, and it was my day, I guess. Pretty lucky."
Defending champion Phil Mickelson presented him the green jacket. It was six years ago when Johnson first showed up at Augusta National with a ticket and followed Lefty around as he tried to stop Woods from a fourth consecutive major.

Avs lose spot in playoff race
BY PAT GRAHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Predators forward Peter Forsberg arrived back to town for the first time in two seasons. The Avalanche dedicated a video tribute to him on the scoreboard and then he brought Colorado's postseason hopes to a crashing halt.
The former Avalanche player almost feels bad. Almost.
Forsberg set up Paul Kariya's game-winning goal midway through the third period to help the Nashville Predators beat the Avalanche 4-2 on Saturday night, knocking Colorado out of the playoff race.
"It's a tough feeling coming in here," said Forsberg, whose team clinched the fourth seed in the Western Conference and will host the San Jose Sharks in the first round of the playoffs. "You've got to be professional."
Forsberg said it was hard to be professional when the team showed highlights of his career on the big screen in the first period. He watched the tribute and then raised his stick in appreciation.
"It shows what kind of classy organization it is," said Forsberg, who had two assists. "The game meant so much to them and they
still did it."
Colorado is out of the playoffs for the first time since 1994. The team made a late-season charge, going 14-2-2 over the last 18 games — collecting 30 of a possible 36 points — but it wasn't enough.
The Avalanche finish the season Sunday night against the Calgary Flames, a team Colorado was trying to catch for the eighth and final playoff spot.
"It didn't happen," said Joe Sakic, whose team missed the postseason for the first time since moving to Colorado from Quebec before the 1995-96 season. "We fell short."
The Flames lost to Edmonton later in the evening. The season finale would've been for the last playoff spot had Colorado won.
Kariya insisted the goal had no extra meaning coming against the team he played with for just one season.
"There was no emotion in the goal," he said. "I didn't score it to prove a point. This is a business and the business is all about winning."
Tomas Vokoun stopped 29 shots and improved to 9-4-3 over his last 16 games.
Colorado pulled goalie Peter Budaj with one minute remaining and J.P. Dumont scored an emptynet goal with 24 seconds left. It was Dumont's second goal of the game.
Forsberg said before the game it was going to be tough for him to go up against his former team. He spent nine seasons in a Quebec and Colorado sweater. This was his first appearance in Denver since he signed a two-year deal with the Philadelphia Flyers before the 2005-06 season.
"It's great to be back here," Forsberg said. "Sometimes you don't know what you have until you leave. We'll see what happens if I continue to play in the future. I've got nothing but good words about this place."
Sakic's two assists Saturday night gave him, 97 points for the season. Sakic and Gordie Howe are the only players in NHL history to score at least 95 points at 37 years old or older.
Yet all Sakic could think about was how close the team came to making an incredible late sprint into the playoffs.
"I think the guys grew up a lot," he said. "We just have to build on it for next year."

Royals fall to Tigers in third of series
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ivan Rodriguez hit a three-run homer in the ninth and the Detroit Tigers rallied to beat the Kansas City Royals 3-2 Sunday.
Rodriguez hit the first pitch from closer David Riske out to left after Magglio Ordonez led off the inning with a double and Carlos Guillen walked. It was the 20th career home run against the Royals for Rodriguez, who is a .352 hitter at Kauffman Stadium.
Fernando Rodney (1-1) pitched a scoreless eighth for the win. Todd Jones got his third save in three chances. Riske (0-1) gave up two hits and a walk for the Royals' first blown save. Kansas City led the majors with
Rodriguez's home run spoiled an excellent start by Royals right-hander Brandon Duckworth, who pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing just four hits. Duckworth, a non-roster invite to spring training, was making his first start since July 23. He had elbow surgery on Aug. 15 to remove bone chips.
Duckworth earned the fifth spot in the Kansas City rotation when Luke Hudson went on the disabled list at the end of spring training with a sore right shoulder.
31 last year.
After a double in the second by Guillen, Duckworth didn't allow another hit until Placido Polanco's single with two out in the sixth. Duckworth came out in the seventh after surrendering back-to-back singles to Guillen and Rodriguez.
After left-hander Jimmy Gobble retired Sean Casey, rookie Joakim Soria, the third pitch of the inning, walked Marcus Thames to load the bases. But Soria got Brandon Inge to fly out to end the threat. Ine is 0-for-16.
Mark Teahen homered with two out in the first off Jeremy Bonderman, his first home run since Sept. 1.
Bonderman gave up two runs and seven hits in six innings, while walking one intentionally and striking out eight.
Notes: Royals 1B Ryan Shealy snapped an 0-for-13 skid with a four-inning double for his first hit of the season and singled in the sixth. Tigers RHP Chad Durbin will make his first big league since Aug. 26, 2004, Monday at Baltimore.

"Sometimes this ballpark will come back and get you," Afenir said. "It can help you out but it'll can come back and bite you. The wind plays a big part in this ballpark."

Kansas instead used nine singles, two doubles and a pair of walks to hang with the Longhorns and even hold the lead for a half-inning after
starter Joseph Krebs and a costly Longhorn error gave the Jayhawks the 5-4 lead.
"They've been awesome lately." Marks said. "The way they've been battling back for us, the pitching staff,
when we've been struggling. That last guy came in and shut the door a little bit, we didn't have any left. But I can't say enough about the offense the last couple
of weeks."
The Jayhawks' bats have been able to keep them in games lately. Sunday's loss marked the third time the Jayhawks have dropped a series by one run on the third day.
"It's been tough to deal with, no doubt about that," coach Price said. "We're real close to winning three of the four series we've played. At the same time, we've only won one game each series now."
Sophomore closer Paul Smyth (2-2) took the loss on Saturday after surrendering the Longhorns final run in the top of the eighth. His 2 1/3-inning appearance marked his second loss in as many weeks.
Despite the series loss and temperatures in the mid-30s, more than 1,000 fans showed up to watch the series decider.

Baseball enters crucial part of season
Don't hit the panic button just yet, Kansas baseball fans.
The Jayhawks' 18-20 overall record and 4-8 Big 12 Conference record is certainly no reflection of their 43-25, 13-14 record from a year ago. It's simply reality that when a team loses seven players to the professional ranks and eight seniors, it's going to experience setbacks.

coach Price said. "It seems like we have two or three guys in our lineup who are struggling at any one time and usually if you're solid one through nine somebody can pick you up."
Saturday's 6-5 loss to No. 7 Texas was Kansas' eight one-run loss of the season, dropping the lavhawks to 2-8

And after being benched last weekend for not hustling, junior right fielder Brock Simpson has responded by going 6-for-15 since then, giving the all-out effort that coach Price demands from his players.
Coach Price said Kansas needed five conference series victories to make postseason play and the Jayhawks have five remaining, so it's officially do-or-die time for his squad. But regardless of Kansas' record at the end of the season, make no mistake that Price still has the program headed in the right direction.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Joshua Clotterey completely dominated Diego Corrales on Saturday night, knocking down the former world champion twice in a unanimous decision in their 10-round welterweight bout.
Clottey (31-2) sent Corrales — making his debut at 147 pounds after moving up two weight classes — to the canvas with a left hand to the head late in the ninth round.
BOXING Clottey controls Corrales in welterweight match
With the spirit of last year's Big 12 Championship team still evident on this year's team, there still hope that the Jayhawks will turn their season around.
Corrales (40-5) survived the ninth but took a bloody left eye into the 10th and final round.
Midway through the 10th, Corrales dodged a Clotty left but stepped into his right and went down again. The former WBC and WBO lightweight and WBO junior lightweight champion got back to his feet, but it was over.
Clottey won 97-90, 98-89 and 100-87 on the judges' scorecards.
"Whenever they come around, they see us and they're always really supportive," Marks said.
He could have let the slide down the order get the best of him. Instead he's regaining confidence with every at bat, hitting .273 his last six games, and he's remained an asset on defense with a .992 fielding percentage.

52-year-old finishes nine-week swim of Amazon
》 ENDURANCE SPORTS
BY PETER MUELLO ASSOCIATED PRESS
By Thursday evening, he was struggling with dizziness, vertigo, high blood pressure, diarrhea, nausea and delirium, his Web site said. But despite having difficulty standing and being ordered by the doctor not to swim, Strel was obsessed with finishing the course and insisted on night swimming.
After nine weeks, Martin Strel arrived near the city of Belem, the capital of the jungle state of Para, ending a swim almost as long as the drive from Miami to Seattle. Strel averaged about 50 miles a day since beginning his odyssey at the source of the world's second-longest river in Peru on Feb. 1.
"He's hit point zero," Borut Strel, Martin's son and the project coor-
Speaking in fluent accented English by satellite phone during a break aboard his support vessel, the elder Strel that the going got tougher the closer he got to Belem.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — After 3,272 miles of exhaustion, sunburn, delirium and piranhas, a 52-year-old Slovenian successfully completed a swim down the Amazon River Saturday that could set a world record for distance — something he's already done three times before.
"The finish has been the toughest moment so far," he said Thursday. "I've been swimming fewer kilometers as I get closer to the end. The ocean tides have a lot of influence on the river's currents and sometimes they are so strong that I am pushed backward."
"I think the animals have just accepted me," he said. "I've been swimming with them for such a long time that they must think I'm one of them now. I still have dolphins swimming with我."
diarrhea, chronic insomnia, larvae infections, dehydration and abrasions caused by the constant rubbing of his wet suit against his skin frequently tormented him.
To cope with the delirium and other problems, Strel said he turned to his doctor.
Strel, who lost some 26 pounds, said there were times he felt such pain in his arms, chest and legs, "that I could not get out of the water on my own."

James Blake reaches for a return during his Davis Cup World Group quarterfinal tennis match against Spain's Feliciano Lopez in Winston-Salem, N.C., on Sunday. The United States will face Sweden in September.
A decisive win over Spain in front of a partisan crowd left the Americans confident they'll end their 12-year Davis Cup drought.
U.S. secures spot in Davis Cup semifinals against Sweden
Coupled with Friday's singles victories by Roddick and Blake, it gave the United States an insurmountable 3-0 lead in the best-of-five event, putting the Americans a step closer to their first Davis Cup title since 1995.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Andy Roddick invited the fans to party with him, James Blake sounded confident and Bob Bryan went as far as to predict a title.
BY MIKE CRANSTON ASSOCIATED PRESS
The United States secured a spot in the semifinals on Saturday when the top-ranked doubles team of Bob and Mike Bryan beat Spain's Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco 7-5, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (5).
"Yes, this is our year," Bob Bryan said, drawing a roar from the sellout crowd of more than 14,000.
After dropping the third set on the fast, indoor hard court, the
"They've been our rock every time out. Every time I've been on the team, they've given us a win," Blake said. "It's a lock, and it feels so good to have that."
The Bryans improved to 11-1 in the Davis Cup with a harder-than-expected match against an inexperienced team. They sealed the match on Bob Bryan's volley at the net, two points after Mike Bryan's net cord on Lopez's serve gave the United States a 6-4 lead.
The brothers immediately
"We feel good. Going to Sweden is a tough match, but they have tough decisions to make about what surface to play us on." U.S. captain Patrick McEnroe said. "We've got a great chance... hopefully that match to win and one more."
Bryans survived two break points at 4-4 in the fourth set before closing it out in the tiebreaker.
The United States eliminated a Spanish squad weakened by the absence of Rafael Nadal and will next play at Sweden on Sept. 21-23. Sweden downed Argentina 3-0 on Saturday. In other quarterfinals, Germany ousted Belgium 3-0, and Russia won its doubles match to lead France 2-1.
With Nadal home resting a sore foot, the United States took a 2-0 lead on Friday when Roddick beat Verdasco and Blake beat Tommy Robredo, Roddick and Blake watched the doubles match from the team area, and both took turns taking laps with the American flag.
Sunday's reverse singles matches against Spain were rendered meaningless and will likely be reduced to best-of-three sets. McEron said Roddick, recovering from a strained left hamstring, would not play. Blake will be joined by one of the Bryan brothers.
The Bryans have won 36 doubles titles and five Grand Slams.
"I was so nervous there." Roddick said to the fans. "But we're all going out tonight so come along and join us. What do you think?"
embraced after the winning point, setting off a flag-waving celebration. The outcome provided a bit of revenge for the United States _ Spain beat the Americans in the 2004 final on clay.

Extra rooms will 'soothe' wait list
BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
Six new classrooms are scheduled for construction this fall at the Hilltop Child Development Center at the University of Kansas, something that Pat Pisani, executive director of the center, says will soothe, but not eliminate, its waiting list, which has grown to more than 300 children.
The expansion, which will entail two new wings of classrooms and "desperately needed storage space," are part of a pre-planned "phase two of the building's original construction seven years ago, Pisani said.
"We have people calling before their kids are born, people calling before they're even pregnant to see what their options are," she said.
Y
The expansion is expected to cost about $2 million, primarily from University contributions, Pisani said. She said while student fees pay for about 65 percent of the current building's bond. However, students are only paying for a small amount of the expansion.
The new classrooms will accommodate about 90 more children in addition to the more than 200 children currently enrolled, who range in age from one to 12 years old.
Scott Nuckolls, Lawrence senior,
has brought his three-year-old
daughter to Hilltop for two years.
Three-year old Felix Smolen and Sonora Vossen play in the Butterfly Room at the Hilltop Child Development Center. Hilltop will soon be expanded to accommodate the high demand.
Pisani hoped that both expansions would be open by the Fall 2008.
He said he was on the waiting list for more than six months,but the center's location and staff were incentives to enroll his daughter.
"Most of the student aides are out of the school of education," Nuckolls said. "It's a good school of education, you get good student aides."

Budget could grant raises
Proposal would give bonuses to state employees

jayhawk nooks&crannies: WATSON LAWN
WATSON LAWN
BY LINDSEY PARKER
Groups of students gather to play a pick-up game of football or Frisbee. Trees are scattered about providing an abundance of shade for a sunny day. Red and yellow tulips bloom, squirrels scurry about and students fshuffle along to class.
At the heart of campus, Watson's front yard is host to more than just sidewalks and dandelions.
Studying outside of Watson Library provides a view of jayhawk Boulevard and allows for a diversity of studying options.
Students can sit near sidewalks and chuckle at others who walk by quoting "Free For All" or listen to bits of people's conversations. Those who need to be productive, on the other hand, can be antisocial. Throw
on those iPod headphones and face a far-off tree to do work. It may be surprising how much can be accomplished without typical distractions of roommates or the ultimate study deferral: Facebook.
Students who need a book to continue studying are just a few steps from the biggest library on campus.
The area is located between Fraser Hall and Wescoe Hall, which allows those with short breaks between classes a place to study without traveling far.
Studying outside of Watson Library is a peaceful, pleasant option for students looking to expand their study horizons.

Cross and Stuewe
John Cross, Kansas City, Mo. junior, is running for the presidential seat on the Delta Force ticket. Cross, an English and French major with a minor in philosophy, currently holds a junior/senior College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Senate seat.
Cross is involved in with many groups and organizations on campus from the Swing Dance Club to KU for Uganda.
"I think Senate has a lot of potential to make positive changes for the sake of the student body, and I want to make sure that it fulfills that potential," Cross said.
Cross' running mate, Liz Stuewe. Lawrence junior, is majoring in political science and American studies.
Stuewe has been involved with numerous groups and organizations during her time at the University. A few of her positions are serving as the president on the Commission for the Status of Women, Dole Institute of Politics-Student Advisory Board member and the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center-Advisory Board member.
"I've had the opportunity to work with civic leaders all over campus," Stuewe said. "I've worked with everyone from students, to administrators, to elected officials."
Stuewe said she decided to run for Student Senate because of her love for the University and the feeling that she could make a difference.
"I spent my high school literally staring out the window at the University," Stuewe said of her connection to the University.
Students' Rights
MARTHA ROBERTS

Wilson and Ballard
Johnathan Wilson, Paola sophomore, founded the Students' Rights coalition as a way to give the power back to the students.
Wilson, majoring in political science, ran for Student Body Vice President last year on the $100 Fee Cut ticket. Wilson currently serves on the Senate University Affairs committee.
"I feel that it is very important to represent the students and my obligation to help bring the rights back to them," Wilson said.
Wilson said the coalition feels that this "prestigious" institution robs the students of their right to an affordable education.
Wilson's running mate, Caitlin Ballard, Overland Park junior, recently transferred to the University. Ballard, a political science major, attended the University of St. Mary's her freshman and sophomore years.
During both years at St. Mary's Ballard served as class president.
"I really enjoy the leadership roles and rallying people around our coalition," Ballard said.
The possibility to work with lots of groups through Senate is exciting, she said.
Senate elections begin online at www.ku.edu/computing/election Wednesday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Thursday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Students can also vote at polling sites set up on Wesco Beach and Mrs. E's beginning Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Love began her Senate career as a freshman senator during her first few weeks at the University.

The campaign created an online book exchange and most currently an initiative to create a textbook library.
Ray Wittlinger, Olathe junior and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Senator, is Love's running mate. Wittlinger is majoring in political science.
Love also serves on the Unclassified Senate and University Senate.
Wittlinger was first appointed to Senate as the Interfraternity Council Senator. After a year in the position he chose to continue his Senate experience by running as a Freshman/Sophomore College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator.
Wittlinger has served the University in many roles including the Student Senate Executive Secretary and the Campus Safety Advisory Board.
"Hannah and I are dedicated to representing all students and bring about positive change," Wittlinger said.

LOCAL CRIME More than 25 kids stolen from goat farm
LAWRENCE, Kan. — Someone is stealing baby goats from Bob Throop and Jeff Hill, and the two men are certain the predators are humans, not other animals.
Hill and Throop, who run a goat-raising enterprise near Lawrence, say they've had about 25 baby goats — called kids — stolen since March 1.
They suspect the animals are being taken shortly after they're born and hand-fed until they are slaughtered from some sort of religious rite. Young goats are part of religious meals and celebrations in Islam, Judaism and Christianity.
"Obviously there's a lot of cultures that eat goat." Thoop said.
"You figure at 40 to 50 bucks a pop, for those 20-plus kids, that's an easy grand." Hill said.
Hill said he thinks someone figured out how to make some quick money off the kids.
And the partners say they've seen no blood or carcass parts that would suggest the animals are being stalked by wild predators.
The thefts hurt their operation in several ways.
They planted acres of grass for the young goats to eat this year, and now don't have enough kids to eat it. Mothers, especially those giving birth to their second or later litters, have udders filled and no babies to feed.
Most important, the newborns would have been the foundation for later herds.
"We'd have been happy to sell the males," Throop said.
The men hope anyone buying a young goat will check that they are buying from a reputable source.
"We're after the people who stole them, not the people who received them," Throop said. "We figure our goats are lost. But we'd certainly like to stop this from going on again. We just want to catch the person responsible."

The hour-and-a-half debate, sponsored by the Elections Commission, also dealt with how the candidates would accomplish their goals if they're not elected later this week. Each nominee was given the chance to answer questions and respond to what other nominees said.
Cayla Witty, Wakefield senior and elections commissioner, said the debate gave students the opportunity to ask questions and get more pointed answers from the candidates.
Candidates were given the opportunity to express how involved they felt the administration should be in Senate.
junior and vice presidential nominee for Students' Rights, spoke first. She said big things could happen when Senate got involved with administrators.
Caitlin Ballard, Overland Park
Next, Ray Wittlinger, Olathe junior and vice presidential nominee for United Students, spoke. He said Senate needed to focus on taking student's ideas to the administration.
"We are first and foremost here to represent students," Wittlinger said.
Liz Stuewe, Lawrence junior and vice presidential nominee for Delta Force, spoke third. She stressed the need for students and administrators to work toward common goals.
Each coalition presidential nominee was asked how he or she would accomplish his or her goals without being elected.
Hannah Love, Dodge City junior and United Students presidential nominee, said without Student Senate it was still possible to accomplish goals through the relationships
that students and administration already have in place.
Johnathan Wilson, Paola sophomore and Students' Rights presidential nominee, said following through on goals was the most important thing about being a leader.
John Cross, Kansas City, Mo. junior and presidential nominee for Delta Force, said he would continue to facilitate any positive change or action needed on campus through his coalition.
"Delta Force works year round." Cross said. "In the fall we're still actively trying to make change."
The elections commission will post the winner of the debate on its Web site this week. Candidates were judged based on their arguments and how they presented themselves.

Hot dog trial called'stupid'
Man found not guilty after more than 70 days in jail
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The two-day trial last week in Sedgwick County Court against Thomas M. Wendley, a veteran living on Social Security, "was stupid," said presiding juror Krysti Mason, 21.
WICHITA — An elderly man who spent 71 days in jail for taking two hot dogs he said he forgot to pay for at a convenience store has been found not guilty of felony theft.
Kansas law requires felony prosecution for crimes such as petty theft if the suspect has had two prior convictions. Wimberly had two previous misdemeanor thefts on his record, one more than a decade old.
Wimberly, 75, stayed in jail after being arrested because he couldn't pay the bond, $100,000 at one point,
even though he was charged with a crime that nets probation after a conviction.
Last July, Wimberly walked out of a QuikTrip without paying the $2.11 for the hot dogs. He paid for a candy bar and had enough money to pay for the franks, but he said he saw his dog outside trying to jump out of his shopping cart, so he went out to stop the dog — and forgot to pay for the hot dogs.
Cases like his go to district attorneys when they reach felonies, after a recent Supreme Court decision prompted city municipal courts to send misdemeanor cases to district attorneys.
"It's highly frustrating," said Kim Parker, deputy district attorney for Sedgwick County. "Nevertheless, we're trying to make sure no one
walks through without some sort of consequence."
Parker said the district attorney's office, because it takes prior criminal records into account, has handled cases such as alcoholics stealing mouthwash.
No one is saying Wimberly has led a perfect life. More than 20 years ago, Wimberly, then 52, hit and killed a 10-year-old girl. Wimberly remembers the car brakes failing, but police said his blood alcohol level was 0.122, higher than the legal limit of 0.1 at the time.
Wimberly pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and drunken driving.
"I took responsibility." Wimberly told The Wichita Eagle in a December telephone interview.
HILLTOP (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
to succeed.
"By accommodating families in general, we're making a statement that we value what people with families bring to this campus," she said.
Hilltop currently employs about 50 to 60 students every semester who assist full-time teachers. Due to the additional classrooms, Pisani said the number of student employees will also increase by about a third. The center will add 12 to 15 full-time staff members, including 10 new teachers.
Pisani said some staff and faculty who try enrolling their child at Hilltop are on the waiting list as long as three to four years. Students receive priority over faculty and staff when enrolling their child at the
center.
"It's a major thing in people's lives," Pisani said. "Some people stay at KU so their kids can come here."

Student loan company under investigation for bribing officials
BY MARK JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALBANY, N.Y. — A student loan company under investigation by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo paid consulting fees to a student loan officer at Johns Hopkins University, paid for some of her graduate school tuition, and also paid consulting fees to officials at two other colleges, investigators said Monday.
In a letter sent to John Hopkins President William Brody, Cuomo
Investigators say they have found numerous arrangements that benefited schools and lenders at the expense of students.
investigators said they believe Student Loan Xpress, a unit of CIT Group Inc., paid more than $21,000 for the school's director of student financial services to attend graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania
between August 2002 to January 2004. Investigators also believe the official, Ellen Frishberg, was paid $42,000 as a consultant for the company from April 2004 to October 2005.
Frishberg was placed on paid leave pending an inquiry by the university into the circumstances of the payments, said Johns Hopkins spokesman Dennis O'Shea. He said the university is cooperating with the attorney general's request.
Cuomo's office said Timothy Lehmann, the director of financial aid at Capella University, an online school based in Minneapolis, was paid more than $13,000 in consulting fees by Student Loan Xpress.
Cuomo's office also said a consulting company run by Walter Cathie, the dean of financial aid at Widener University in Pennsylvania, was paid $80,000 by Student Loan Xpress since 2005.
Capella did not immediately return a call for comment. Dan Hanson, a spokesman for Widener, did not have an immediate comment.
Cuomo is investigating allegations of possible kickbacks to school officials for steering students to certain lenders. His investigators say they have found numerous arrangements that benefited schools and lenders at the expense of students.
Investigators found that many colleges have established "preferred lender" lists and entered into revenue sharing and other financial arrangements with those lenders. Some colleges have "exclusive" preferred lender agreements with the companies.
On Friday, Cuomo's office issued new subpoenas to CIT Group and Student Loan Xpress, seeking information on stock and gifts made by the company or its subsidiaries to federal or state government officials.

Two injured, one dead after man fires shots at firm
Anthony LaCalamita is arrested following a high-speed chase on Interstate 75 in south Bay County near Detroit, Mich., Monday. LaCalamita is suspected of shooting three people Monday at an accounting firm in Troy, Mich.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY DAVID AGUILAR ASSOCIATED PRESS
TROY, Mich. — A man suspected of shooting three people, killing one, at an accounting firm where he was fired last week was arrested after a high-speed chase a few hours after the Monday morning attack, authorities said.
Police said they had located Anthony LaCalamita, 38, on Interstate 75, north of the suburban Detroit office building where the shootings took place.
Sheriff's deputies and state police chased him for 30 miles, including through a construction zone, at speeds up to 120 mph before he finally pulled over after about 15 minutes. Genesee County Sheriff Robert J. Pickell said.
"He probably realized if he didn't, he was going to be shot," Undersheriff James Gage said.
LaCalamita said nothing after officers surrounded him, Pickell said, describing the suspect as "subdued. Very, very, very subdued."
Officers found a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun and three live shells in the vehicle, Pickell said. Witnesses said the shooter used a shotgun or a rifle, Troy police Lt. Gerry Scherlinck said.
Some witnesses told police that when the shooter walked into the office on the building's second floor around 10 a.m. Monday, he looked as if he was trying to hide something, Troy
Police Chief Charles Craft said.
Police couldn't say how many shots were fired.
"I'm not positive all three of the people were targeted, but there appeared to be some purpose," Craft said.
The families of the two wounded men requested "total privacy," and the hospital would not release any details about their conditions, Beaumont Hospital spokeswoman Ilene Wolfe said. She said the third victim died on the way to the hospital.
La Calamita waslisted among the professional staff on the Website of Gordon Advisors, a public accounting and business consulting firm in the building. Calls to Gordon Advisors were

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Flash memory maker SanDisk Corp.
said Monday it will pair its new wireless music player with music services from Yahoo inc. but analysts doubt the new gadget will be able to steal much share from Apple Inc's dominant iPod.
Users of the Sansa Connect device will be able to use a Wi-Fi wireless connection to listen to LAUNCHcast Internet radio, browse Flickr photos and see what Yahoo Messenger friends and other Sansa Connect owners nearby are listening to. LAUNCHcast and Flickr are both part of the Yahoo network.

SanDisk is optimistic its new product could tap millions of existing Yahoo users.

U.S. death toll may be at 3,280 after roadside bomb kills ten
BY STEVEN R. HURST ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD — The powerful Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr ordered his militiamen on Sunday to redouble their battle to oust American forces and argued that Iraq's army and police should join him in defeating "your archenemy." The U.S. military announced the weekend deaths of 10 American soldiers, including six killed on Sunday.
Security remained so tenuous in the capital on the eve of the fourth anniversary of the U.S. capture of Baghdad that Iraq's military declared a 24-hour ban on all vehicles in the capital from 5 a.m. Monday. The government quickly reinstated Monday as a holiday, just a day after it had decreed that April 9 no longer would be a day off.
Among the 10 U.S. deaths announced Sunday were three soldiers killed by a roadside bomb while patrolling south of Baghdad; one killed in an attack south of the capital; and two who died of combat wounds sustained north of the capital, in Diyala and Salahuddin
provinces. On Saturday, the military said, four U.S. soldiers were killed in an explosion near their vehicle in Diyala.
At least 3,280 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. The figure includes seven military civilians.
South of Baghdad, a truck bomb exploded near the Mahmoudiya General Hospital, killing at least 18 people and wounding 23. The pickup truck loaded with artillery shells blew apart several buildings in a warren of auto repair shops.
Violence in Iraq remained as relentless as the deepening debate in the United States about the way forward in the war four years after Marines and the Army's 3rd Infantry Division swept into the Iraqi capital 20 days into the American invasion.
At least 47 people were killed or found dead in violence Sunday, including 17 execution victims dumped in the capital.
BRITAIN
Military bans high-priced interviews with former captives
BY ROBERT BARR ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Britain's government beat a hasty retreat Monday under withering criticism for allowing sailors and marines to be paid large sums for their stories about captivity in Iran.
Officials banned further paid interviews as critics complained that the fees, reported as high as six figures, were unseemly and a slap at families of military personnel killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The appearance of the first paid interviews also brought new criticism that the 15 crew members yielded too easily to Iranian pressure to make confessions and apologies. Some worried the crew's actions revealed a loss of Britain's famed "stiff upper lip" in tough times.
"The sailors and marines held in Iran have been so compliant and have already said so much that they caused excruciating embarrassment to many people in this country, a retired colonel, Bob Stewart, wrote in The Times newspaper.
Defense Secretary Des Browne said that pending completion of a review of the regulations governing paid interviews, announced earlier in the day, all service personnel were now barred from accepting fees for talking about their military experiences.
The announcement does not affect any of the freed crew members who already accepted fees for talking to journalists, but bars them and all other service members from making new deals with media outlets, the Defense Ministry said. Two such interviews appeared Monday,but it was unknown if others had already sold their stories.
Browne acknowledged "many strong views" had been expressed against the idea of military personnel taking cash to give exclusive stories to the media. Such fees are a long media practice in Britain, though more usually for stories involving sexual capers and lurid crimes.
The first paid interviews appeared Monday in The Sun and the Daily Mirror newspapers, with The Sun bagging the most sought-after sailor, Faye Turney, the only woman among the captives. Financial terms were not disclosed, but other media reported the amount paid was in the six figures.
Royal Navy Lt. Felix Carman, who commanded the captured boat crew and appeared with Air and four other former captives at a news conference Friday, told GMTV that he thought accepting money was "a bit unsavory."
However, Carman added, "I don't begrudge people who have been through an awful ordeal making a bit of money out of this."
Reg Keys, whose son Thomas was killed in Iraq four years ago, said he believed the government was using the freed crew to pursue a propaganda battle with Iran, and he found that offensive.
Others did.
"There are people serving in Iraq with possibly far more interesting stories who are not allowed to talk to the media," Keys said. "When my son died, his colleagues were not allowed to speak to their families about it, let alone the press."

Critics doubt radio host's apology
Richard Drew/ASSOCIATED PRESS
TIM WOLFSTEIN
Rev. Al Sharpton, left, and radio personality Don Imus appear face-to-face on Rev. Sharpton's radio show, in New York on Monday. Imus issued another apology for referring to the Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos" on his morning show last week.
BY JOCELYN NOVECK ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — It's a familiar dance that plays out ever more frequently in our popular culture. A public figure transgresses, and we wait to dissect the apology. Was it sincere enough? Contrite enough? Specific enough? Did he feel our pain?
Don Imus' critics don't really care. For them, it's time to dispense with the ritual and move on to a world where actions have consequences.
Not that the radio host wasn't working hard to save his job on Monday, seeking to atone for his "nappy-headed hos" comment in a testy appearance on the Rev. Al Sharpton's radio program. But for many, the public apology — used so often in the past year — was seen like a tired vehicle, even a "meaningless incantation," in the words of ethics columnist Randy Cohen.
"I don't care about an apology," said Angela Burt-Murray, editor in chief of Essence magazine, who's been one of the stronger voices speaking out against Imus' characterization of the Rutgers women's basketball team. "You're not a child on the playground. You're an adult who needs to take responsibility for his actions. And there need to be consequences."
The public apology has merely made a quick fix, Burt-Murray said, to get back to business as quickly as possible. "Michael Richards apologizes. We move on. Mel Gibson apologizes. We move on," she said. "When does it stop? When do WE make it stop?"
For one of the nation's top feminist activists as well, Imus' efforts at public remorse are pointless.
its completely hollow" said Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for Women, who called his words "beyond racist and sexist." Her organization launched a drive Sunday for members to contact Imus' corporate bosses at CBS Corp. and NBC Universal to demand his
firing — and she says a few thousand have responded so far.
"This guy is just trying to get himself out of trouble," said Gandy. "It's hard to take him seriously wher look at his past. He's not a first
time offender.
The 47th time.

This ever-rising chorus of mea
culpas leaves Cohen, author of a syndicated ethics column, rather disgusted.
"What passes for a public apology is utterly pro forma," he said. "It's: 'I apologize and I take full responsibility' ... after which the person goes right on and does the same thing as before."
Cohen was careful to note that there ARE times when apologies are meaningful. When you're in a fight, for example, and you say something hurtful at the height of passion, your apology means something.
Or when the person apologizing shows real, undeniable remorse and a clear intention never to repeat a similar offense again. Few people believe that about Imus, Cohen says.
The "nappy-headed ho" comments were "only a slightly exaggerated form of what Imus does every day." Cohen said.

"Laguna" star arrested after making racist comments
BY GENE JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Television actor Jason Wahler hurled racial and homophobic invectives at a police officer when he was arrested over the weekend after punching a hotel security guard and passing out drunk in a hallway, said a Seattle Police Department report.
Wahler, 20, a star of MTV's "The Hills" and "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County," was arrested early Sunday for investigation of assault and criminal trespass. He posted bail and was released from the King County Jail.
It was Wahler's third arrest since September, when he punched a city worker and tow-truck driver. Last month, a judge sentenced him to 60 days in jail — a sentence he was scheduled to serve beginning in May — and ordered him to attend
Alcoholics Anonymous classes and a one-day program at the Museum of Tolerance for using racial slurs.
The police report said that shortly after midnight on Sunday, officers responded to the Waterfront Marriott hotel. A security guard told them there had been an altercation in the lobby, and that someone wrestled with Wahler to restrain him.
When the guard asked the pair to settle down or leave, Wahler shoved him in the chest and then punched him in the mouth, the police report said. Another person removed him from the building, but he came back a short time later.
Two police officers found him passed out on the third floor, reeking of alcohol, and woke him up.
wanter then "repeatedly" called Officer C. DePina, who is not black, a "n-----" and a "f----", DePina wrote in the report. "Wahler stated he was rich and would have my ass. Wahler made vague threats to assault officers."

Gym show discusses death
BY JANICE RHOSHALLE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — TV fitness buff Jackie Warner gathers her team of hard-bodied trainers on the rooftop deck of her chi-chi Sky Sport & Spa. But this isn't one of her typical sessions to amp up the staff for vet another boot-camp exercise.
"Doug is in the hospital," Warner says of teammate Doug Blasdell, her face sullen. "The doctors have actually put him into a drug-induced coma."
This unexpected scene played out in front of the cameras on Bravo's reality show "Work Out" shortly after production began on the series' second season last November. Within two months, Blasdell would be dead
of reported kidney failure at 44.
"The first thing that crossed my mind was how do we deal with Doug's death," said Warner. "I didn't want to exploit it, but we had to address it. This was a reality that we had to deal with — and we're still dealing with it. But this is a reality show. He couldn't just disappear."
Blasdell's death is confronted in the episode airing at 9 p.m. tonight, including the dramatic scene shot last fall.
Despite the loss, Warner, 38, says season two is shaping up to be "the sexy season", as the series delves further into the work and personal lives of the workout queen and her seven sculpted trainers.
Much of the success of "Work Out" is in its openness, whether it
In its first season, ratings for "Work Out" grew week to week, with more than a million viewers tuning in for the finale last August. The first two shows this season are up in overall households, almost 8 percent during the first two episodes in season one, according to the network. And there's growing interest online for streamed reruns of the series.
be among the trainers and their workplace infighting or Warner's complex duality as a savvy, assertive businesswoman with a less-than-perfect life.
But for some critics, the show lacks the dramatic muscle of Bravo's other reality hits — "Top Design," "Top Chef" and "The Real Housewives of Orange County."
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

》OUR VIEW
A plea to students: Please, please vote
Ease of online voting, candidates' hard work provide yet more reasons to vote
As tomorrow's Student Senate elections approach, we briefly and lightheartedly envy the mandatory voting laws of Australia. With small fines levied against nonvoters in national elections, they routinely garner understandably impressive turnout numbers. Alas, such an action would in America fly in the face of all our cherished ideals of liberty and freedom, elements of society we do not take lightly.
Let us take the responsibility, then, to reach similar turnout numbers of our own accord and desire to be decent citizens. Though voter
turnout of 100 per cent remains but a fanciful dream, perhaps our goal should merely be to annihilate the embarrassingly low totals of recent elections.
From there, we can progress to higher vote totals through the coming semesters. In other words, let's use the Washington buzzword of the moment: benchmarks.
Iough it can sometimes seem that candidates for Student Senate want nothing more than a boost to their résumés and to see their names in mammoth neon chalk letters, most of them are genuinely interested in helping their campus and fellow students.
Further, they have invested a great many hours in this campaign, hours that could be spent on far more self-interested tasks. Senate can sometimes get a bad rap as the
denizen of political science majors and future campaign hacks, but this is largely a myth. Most members are legitimately concerned about the University's future, and enlist in the ranks of Senate to make a tangible impact.
Can't we reward them with 60 seconds of our time? Voting in these elections is easier than ever you can vote online without ever leaving your home
If legions of students can invest hours in the planning, design, and execution of campaigns, not to mention the thankless hours spent in actual Senate work, can't we reward them with 60 seconds of our time? Voting in these elections is easier than ever — you can vote online without ever leaving
your home. When the powers that be make voting laughably accessible, there are few excuses for not voting in tomorrow's elections.
Of course, the freedom to vote carries with it an implicit option to
not vote, and that is your choice as an adult.
If you wish to consciously opt out of the Senate process by not casting a ballot, so be it. But if during the next year you will be affected by such things as fee increases, bus systems or textbook prices, you likely owe it to the hardworking Senate souls who mostly toil in anonymity to cast your vote. Please consider doing so.

Jayplay article offends Native-American traditions
》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Native Americans were stereotyped in the article "Themeing the Night Away", in the April 5 issue of Jayplay. White KU students dressed up in costumes that are stereotypes of Native American dress.
Native Americans have endured being reduced to stereotypes for lifetimes, and now that the NCAA has recognized this racism, the University of Kansas — mere miles from Haskell Indian Nations University — endorses a theme party that says "Hey, its OK to play Indians!" Why?
Is it thought Native Americans don't care — or are they all merely assumed dead? Will this form of playing Indian also be defended as an honor? Does a KKK-themed party where some dress like Klansmen, and others wear blackface to be chased around — or
better yet a Nazi-themed party where one group merrily tracks and affixes another with a Star of David — need not be taken seriously? It's all good fun, right?
It is hard to imagine something more disappointing than the sanctioned promotion of Native Americans caricatured three days before the First Nations Student Association holds the annual University powwow. How is this an appropriate welcome to many Native American families, students and children?
Any actual journalistic investigation would uncover that Native Americans take their traditions seriously, those traditions caricatured by the article included.
Native Americans, nor any other shred of sense, cannot find any journalistic — or humanitarian
— value in the lack of scholarship or integrity displayed by the article
Were a group of KU party boys to make some costume jewelry purchases, sag their baggy jeans, and head into an urban African-American community, one would assume they would be given a proper reception by their African-American counterparts. Were they to wear zoot suits into an urban Mexican-American community, they would be given something to remember their mistake, and it would not be something from Taco Bell.
These are both examples of stereotypes; comparing these stereotypes with what occurred at the University, the distinction is clear. It is acceptable to participate and promote stereotypes and forms of racism upon Native Americans at
the University.
Perhaps, then, it would be interesting to see these young men wear their same garish, costume-store get-ups to the annual KU powwow to see what reaction they would receive.

Wright shouldn't be blamed for leaving

Sophomore forward Julian Wright and coach Bill Self announced that Wright would skip his junior and senior seasons and enter the NBA Draft on Monday at a press conference. Wright said he expects to be drafted between 10th and 15th overall.
You can't convince me that Julian Wright is making the wrong decision by declaring for the NBA draft. It is not possible.
In this day and age, Wright could go from a top-10 pick to not even playing for some team in Greece with one disastrous play.
It seems to happen every year. A player goes up for a rebound and comes down awkwardly. That player tears every ligament in his knee and must spend more than a year rehabilitating and will never be the same player that he was the year before.
Wright's draft stock cannot get much higher. He is going to be a top-10 pick. He is going to get a guaranteed contract. And he is going to sign a multi-million dollar endorsement deal with Adidas or Nike or any one of the big shoe companies. Wright is going to be able to make every financial worry he has ever had go away.
Wright will be able to set himself and his family up for the rest of his life. He will have a life that he could have never dreamed about, and he should take it.
Kansas fans should not be upset with Wright's decision to declare. They should understand the reasoning and the risk that Wright would be taking if he decided to return. He should not be viewed as some-
Forward decides to forgo final two seasons at Kansas to pursue NBA career
Seriously, is there anyone on this campus who if told they could make $5 to $10 million next year would turn it down? I would leave Lawrence tomorrow if I was offered a job like that, and I love this place.

ulian Wright won't get much of an offseason.
Now that he's declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft, he'll balance his 15 hours of schoolwork with traveling around the country to work out for NBA teams.
"I expect to be between 10 and 15, somewhere in that range," the sophomore forward said.
In the NBA, rookies are given contracts based on when they are drafted. The 10th pick is guaranteed $3.3 million over two years, while the 15th pick receives $2.6 million over two years. All contracts include an option where the team can keep the
player for a third season at a slightly higher rate.
"Money has never been my motivation," Wright said. "I'm just grateful to have this opportunity."
The NBA draft order will be determined on May 22, after the league's regular season ends. Wright said that he will hire an agent toward the end of May, and that his family is gathering information on potential companies.
He is still eligible to return to college for his junior season as long as he does not hire an agent and withdraws from the draft by June 18.

Wright leaves behind other kind of ball; Jaybowlers will miss "JuJu," Big Bully
BY MARK DENT
It's hard not to notice Julian Wright's influence on the lawbowl.
A newspaper clipping on the bowling alley's bulletin board shows Wright with his arms stretched across a few lanes, gripping Big Bully, his ball. In another clipping, he's fully extended on top of Missouri's Kalen Grimes, throwing down a nasty dunk.
Until last week, students could see Wright rolling a ball down the lanes while others admired. Now the pictures on the board are only reminders of what used to be.
Wright, a sophomore forward, announced he was going to enter the NBA Draft Monday at an afternoon press conference. His days as a Jayhawk basketball player and student bowler are ending sooner than expected.
Wright's friends at the bowling alley were as shocked as any other Kansas fan when they heard he would leave. Last Wednesday, everything
"It's like losing a favorite customer," said Trent Overbey, captain of the Kansas bowling team and a friend of Wright's. "I'll miss him in here. He definitely a character."

Jayhawks hope to avenge 8-run rout
BY ALISSA BAUER
After barely letting No. 6 Texas get the series victory last weekend, an improving Kansas looks to make a much better showing against Oral Roberts.
When the Jayhawks (18-20, 4-8) made the trip to Tulsa, Okla. on Feb. 27, the Golden Eagles had their way with the visiting team, 9-1. Four series down, the Jayhawks are in the middle of Big 12 Conference play. Although they have yet to be swept by a Big 12 team, the Jayhawks have not won a Big 12 series yet this season.
Price said tonight's game plan would revolve around the three relievers he has slated, starting with junior right-hander Andres Esquibel (5-3). Price wants to make sure his relievers are prepared to pitch this weekend against Baylor.
"They're one of the best teams in the Midwest," Price said of Oral Roberts. "We just need a 'W' to field some momentum before the Baylor series now."
Robby had a strong outing against Texas and hopes to carry momentum into the game against Oral Roberts.
Afenir made his first start as a designated hitter on Sunday, going 3-4 with one run scored. He and freshman third baseman Robby Price are in position to make the biggest offensive impact tonight.
"We welcomed them here, we knew we could beat them and we just couldn't come up with that last one," sophomore catcher Buck Afenir said on Sunday.
Coach Ritch Price and his team
are hoping to find the spark they need in tonight's contest against the Golden Eagles.
But after the 8-run loss Oral Roberts (16-14) game, the Jayhawks' bats will need to be more effective
tonight. Although Kansas dropped game three to Texas to lose the series, the Jayhawks did out-hit the Longhorns 30-29.
He was the only Jayhawk with an RBI against the Golden Eagles in February.
Kansas, however, may have the advantage tonight. Oral Roberts is fresh off a 3-2 Sunday victory at previously top-25 Long Beach State, but it is just one of three victories the Golden Eagles have picked up on the road. Though Oral Roberts is 13-1 in Tulsa, the team is just 3-13 on the road.
Second baseman Jake Kahaulelio hurt the Jayhawks in February, going 4-4 with two runs scored. Kahaulelio leads his team with seven doubles

K-State introduces Martin as new head coach
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — As a bouncer in Miami, Frank Martin said a group of people he had thrown out of a bar once tried to gun him down.

Frank Martin, center, answers questions during a news conference with Kansas State athletic director Tim Weiser, left, and University president Dr. Jon Wefald, right, in Manhattan on Monday. Martin has been named the school's 22nd men's basketball coach.
Orlin Wanner/ASSOCIATED PRESS
"We broke up a fight and threw the guys out of the bar. We thought it was over," said Martin, introduced Monday as the new men's basketball coach at Kansas State.
"Then when the bar closed at 3 a.m., we cleaned up and walked outside. A car came racing over. We were smart enough to know what was getting ready to happen. We dove and shots were fired. Luckily for me and the other two bouncers, everybody was all right."
No arrests were ever made in the shooting, but after that, fussy fans and demanding media critics are unlikely to rattle Bob Huggins' rapidly hired successor at Kansas State.
Martin, 41, came to Kansas State as an assistant when Huggins was hired a year ago this month and even though hed never been a head coach above the high school level, he was handed the job less than 24
hours after Huggins abruptly quit last Thursday.
At the same time, assistant coach Dalton Hill, 28, was promoted to associate head coach. Both hires were believed aimed at keeping intact what some scouting services have labeled as the No.1 incoming freshman class in the country.
"I will be the first one to admit to you that this was a rather unique set of circumstances for us," said athletic director Tim Weiser.
"As we stepped back for roughly 24 hours to look at all the options
... we felt like the best decision for us and the one that made the most sense was to make Frank Martin our head basketball coach."
Martin was an assistant coach at Cincinnati and Northeastern University for several years after a highly successful — and controversial — career as a head coach in Florida high schools.
He won three straight championships at Miami Senior High School in the late 1990s, but was fired after the school was cited for illegal recruiting. Although he was terminated, Martin was officially cleared of any wrongdoing. He said Monday
he would be happy to sit down with any reporter in the room one-on-one and discuss the situation.
I have nothing to hide," he said.
Wetser said he had not spoken
with anybody in Florida about the investigation,
"We felt Frank was very open when he was hired here about what took place. Wed had a chance to
find out what the facts were," Weisner said. "But I would tell you, if I felt in any way that that was going to compromise his ability to do the job, we wouldn't have hired him."
MLB
Cardinals lose pitching ace
BY ALAN ROBINSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — Cardinals staff ace Chris Carpenter was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday after an MRI exam in St. Louis revealed arthritis and a previously undiscovered impingement in his right elbow.
Carpenter, limited to one start this season, will rest for the next 10 days to two weeks and will be re-examined after that. The condition sometimes requires surgery but also can be cured by rest and treatment.
According to a statement issued by the team, there was no evidence of an acute ligament injury — a problem that would have required surgery and likely would have finished Carpenter's season.
An impingement occurs when a thin layer of membrane that lines the elbow becomes caught in the elbow joint. The problem is relatively common among athletes who
have a repetitive elbow motion, such as throwing a pitch or swinging a golf club. Arthroscopic surgery can repair the usually painful injury if initial treatment is not successful.
Carpenter, theNLCy Young Award winner with a 21-5 record in 2005, hasn't pitched since allowing five runs in six innings during a 6-1 loss to the New York Mets in the majors' season-opener April 1. He also was scratched from a scheduled start Friday against Houston.
Carpenter flew with the Cardinals from Houston to Pittsburgh after Sunday's game, but stayed on the chartered plane because it was returning to St. Louis. With Carpenter unable to make his previously scheduled start Tuesday night in Pittsburgh, left-hander Randy Keisler was called up from Triple-A Memphis to pitch.
The 30-year-old Keisler signed with St. Louis during the offseason as a free agent. He had no decisions and a 4.50 ERA in 11
games last season with the Oakland Athletics. He is 4-4 with a 6.82 ERA in 51 games over five major league seasons, making 17 starts, for the Yankees, Padres, Reds and Athletics.
"It was his day to pitch. He's got some experience," La Rua said.
Keisler gave up one run and five hits in five innings in his only start this season for Triple-A Memphis. He was effective during spring training for St. Louis, allowing only an unearned run and three hits over eight innings in four games.
La Russa said it will be difficult for the Cardinals to replace Carpenter, who has won 51 games the last three seasons. St. Louis also lost Jeff Suppan, Jeff Weaver and Jason Marquis to free agency.
“Our strength is sending a guy out there every day who has a chance to win,” La Russa said. “We’re not going to make up for Carpenter missing unless Keisler gives us a chance.”

The Kansas women's golf team finished fourth out of 18 teams Monday at the Susie Maxwell Berning Classic in Norman, Okla. The Jayhawks jumped three spots on the final day of the tournament.
As a team, Kansas shot 295 in the final round and 884 overall.
"I am very happy with our finish' coach Erin O'Neil said in a press release. "Our girls had a very solid tournament. They played very consistently, which is always a good sign."
Kansas next competes Monday at the Big 12 Championship in Waco, Texas.
Senior Amanda Costner led Kansas with a tie for 10th place. She shot 1-over-par and had a final score of 217. She shot a 72 in the final round. Freshmen Camilla Svensson and Emily Powers tied for 29th place.
Kansan Staff Report
BASKETBALL Former UCLA coach Wooden hospitalized
LOS ANGELES — Former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden was in a hospital Monday for treatment of a possible recurrence of diverticulitis but was in good spirits, his daughter said.
The 96-year-old Hall of Fame coach was admitted to a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday because of bleeding in the colon, daughter Nancy Muehlhausen said.
Wooden was scheduled to make an appearance Wednesday at Kansas State University but had to cancel.
He had two blood transfusions and will need at least two more, Muehlhausen said. Doctors could keep Wooden in the hospital for a couple of more days, but Muehlhausen said her father was doing well.
"He's absolutely doing fine," Muehlhausen said. "He's laughing and cracking jokes. He looks good."
Wooden was hospitalized for three days in April 2006 for diverticulitis, a condition in which inflammations occur in pockets in the colon.
Wooden retired from UCLA in 1975 with a record of 620-147 in 27 years as coach. The Bruins won 10 national titles under his helm, including seven in a row. The streak included 38 straight NCAA tournament victories.

Longhorns keep conference lead Jayhawks continue to struggle
BY SHAWN SHROYER
BAYLOR (19-15, 4-8) VS.
NO. 23 OKLAHOMA
(23-11, 4-5)
SERIES: BAYLOR. 2-1
**UPt:** Baylor right-hander Kendal Volz (4-1) helped the Bears clinch the series on Friday, striking out seven Sooners in seven innings. He allowed only one unearned run on three hits and no walks.
IN THE HOLE: Oklahoma right fielder Devin Shepherd had a forget-table series, going 1-for-9 with four strikeouts.
ON DECK: Baylor travels to Kansas this weekend, looking for its third Big 12 series victory, while Oklahoma returns home to face Nebraska.
KANSAS STATE (22-10,
4-5) VS. NO. 25 MISSOURI
(24-9, 6-3)
SERIES: MISSQURL. 2-1
UP: Missouri left-hander Rick Zagone (6-0) put the Tigers in position to win the series with his complete-game shutout on Saturday. In nine innings, Zagone struck out 11 and allowed only one Wildcat to reach base.
IN THE HOLE: Although Kansas State outscored Missouri 18-10 during the series, it did so in spite of shortstop Drew Biery. He went 1-for-14 with three strikeouts and left six men on base.
ON DECK: Winning its second Big 12 series won't get any easier for Kansas State this weekend as it travels to Oklahoma State. Missouri will try to stay in the Baseball America Top 25 poll as it battles Texas A&M at home.
NEBRASKA (19-12, 5-7)
VS. NO. 15 OKLAHOMA
STATE (23-8, 6-3)
SERIES: NEBRASKA 2-1
UP: The Cornhuskers are surging at the right time, due largely in part to starting pitchers Tony Watson (3-1) and Johnny Dorn (5-1). Watson threw a complete game on Friday, striking out 12 and Dorn threw six innings on Saturday, striking out eight.
IN THE HOLE: Oklahoma State's starting pitching was lackluster during the weekend. Oliver Olver (4-3), Robbie Weinhardt (2-1) and Andrew Oliver (5-0) allowed a combined 12 runs in only 7.1 linnings.
ON DECK: Nebraska aims for its second straight upset this weekend at Oklahoma while Oklahoma State tries to get back on the winning
track at home against Kansas State.
KANSAS (18-20, 4-8)
VS. NO. 6 TEXAS
(28-10, 9-3)
SERIES: TEXAS 2-1
UP: Texas right fielder Kyle Russell got all the attention with his 19th and 20th home runs of the season, but center fielder Nick Peoples pestered Kansas all series, going 6-for-11 with two home runs (1,2), a triple, three RBI and five runs. He even made one catch going toward the wall in center field after falling down.
IN THE HOLE: No single player is performing poorly for Kansas, but in every Big 12 series so far, the wheels have fallen off at the wrong time. On Saturday, Kansas' batting average leader, left fielder John Allman, and home run leader, second baseman Ryne Price, went a combined 0-for-8. Starting-pitcher Andy Marks (3-3) gave up only four hits in 6.2 innings, but three were home runs.
ON DECK: Kansas remains at home this weekend against Baylor, in search of its first Big 12 series victory. Texas returns home to play host to Texas Tech.
TEXAS TECH (21-13, 5-
6) VS. NO. 16 TEXAS A&M
(727 5)
SERIES: TIE, 1-1 (GAME 3
CANCELLED)
UP: After an 0-for-3 game on Thursday, Texas Tech outfielder Roger Kiesnick helped the Red Raiders tie the series on Friday, going 4-for-5 with a home run (8), a triple, two RBI and three runs.
IN THE HOLE: Texas Tech third baseman Chris Hall failed to spark the Red Raider offense from the leadoff spot in the order. He went 1-for-9 in the series with two strikeouts, leaving two men on base.
ON DECK: Texas Tech will try to get above .500 in the Big 12 as it hits the road to take on Texas. Texas A&M will also be on the road, playing at Missouri this weekend.

Royals
TORONTO—Kansas City Royals manager Buddy Bell was ejected from Monday night's game against the blue Jays after plate umpire Paul Nauret allowed Toronto's Reed Johnson to score from first on a ground-rule double that a fan interfered with.
A runner is usually awarded two bases when there is a ground-rule double, but Nauret deemed Johnson would have scored on Lyle Overbay's second-inning hit to right.
The fan was ejected for grabbing the ball while it was still in play.
Bell was ejected during a heated argument with both Nauret and crew chief Gerry Davis.

Mark Turgeon tours Texas A&M Wichita State coach may take Gillispie's place, spokesman denies deal
COLLEGE STATION, Texas Texas A&M has Mark Turgeon atop its list to replace Billy Gillspie after the Wichita State coach visited the campus on Monday, according to several published reports.
Turgeon toured the Texas A&M campus with athletic director Bill Byrne, who scrambled to begin a coaching search last week after Gillispie turned down a raise to take over Kentucky.
Turgeon, 42, has been at Wichita State for seven seasons, leading the Shockers to the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament in 2006.
The scoreboard inside Reed Arena at Texas A&M on Monday flashed
"Welcome to Aggieland Mark and Ann Turgeon," according to the Bryan-College Station Eagle and the San Antonio Express-News.
Texas A&M spokesman Colin Killantold The Associated Press that contrary to published reports, he was not aware that a deal for a new coach was in place.
The Houston Chronicle, citi ing three people
Wichita State senior Matt Braeur
with Turgeon and that an official announcement could come as early as Tuesday.
"No coaches have told us anything. (But) from a few other sources, from what I've heard, it's a done deal."
MATT BRAEUR
Wichita State senior
told The Wichita Eagle that he and teammates are under the impression that Turgeon is leaving.
with knowledge of the deal, said the school had reached an agreement
"That's basically what I've heard," Braueer said. "No coaches have told us anything." (But) from a few other
sources, from what I've heard, it's a done deal."
The newspaper said a team meeting had been called for late Monday.
Turgeon is 128-90 since arriving at Wichita State in 1999. The Shockers finished 17-14 and sixth in the Missouri Valley Conference this past season. Turgeon also has served as an assistant coach at Kansas under Larry Brown and Roy Williams.
Texas A&M is hoping to land a coach who can deliver the same impact as Gillispie, who turned Texas A&M into a Big 12 basketball power in just three seasons. He went 70-26 with a team that was 7-21 the season before he arrived, including 0-16 in the conference play.

U. S. OPEN
Johnson follows in footsteps of Fleck
BYDOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUGUSTA, Ga. — One was the greatest major champion of his era. The other was an unproven pro from Iowa.
This wasn't Sunday at Augusta National. It was 1955 at The Olympic Club. In both cases, the feeling was it would be no contest.
In one of the most stunning upsets at a major, Fleck made birdie on the final hole at the U.S. Open to force an 18-hole playoff with Hogan, who already had won four U.S. Opens among his nine majors and was perhaps the most feared player in golf.
"Most of them all thought Bern Hogan would be tough to beat," Jack Fleck said Sunday night. "No doubt about it."
Fleck wasn't the biggest hitter, but he was straight. He wasn't a great putter, but he could hit irons as if they were lasers. He didn't do anything fancy that Monday, but he came up with the right shots and let Hogan self-destruct in the rough. Fleck wound up shooting a 69 to win by three shots.
Fleck only won two more times on the PGA Tour the rest of his career. Much more is expected of Johnson, who was the Nationwide Tour player of the year in 2003 and already has played on one Ryder Cup team.
He is 85 now, living in Fort Smith, Ark., writing books and watching plenty of golf. You can be sure he was glued to his television set when Zach Johnson, a 31-year-old from Iowa, played Tiger Woods on the back nine to capture the Masters.
Woods was going after his third consecutive major, and he started the final round in the last group.
only one shot behind Stuart Appleby. Johnson's only PGA Tour victory had come three years ago at the BellSouth Classic.
"It looked like you could bet your money Tiger would win." Fleck said. "Who thought Zach would win?"
And when Johnson three-putted for bogey from the front of the fifth green, Woods took the lead for the first time in the tournament, even thought it only lasted about 20 minutes. Still, Woods never loses when he's in front Sunday at a major.
"Tiger has an amazing record in the majors,'s said Vaughn Taylor, who played with Johnson. "It's nice to see him give one up."
Johnson is not the longest hitter on an Augusta National course where only the guys who hit it a mile are supposed to win. He was 57th in driving distance out of the 60 players who made the cut. He gets by mainly on smarts, good iron play and putting.
Fleck doesn't like to compare Hogan with Woods because of course conditions and equipment. But there is no doubting the mystique.
Someone asked Taylor if Woods were Superman, what would that make Johnson?
He was two shots back and just another name who figured to get run over.
"Superman's brother," he said.
NFL
Johnson wouldn't buy into that.
"I'm Zach Johnson, and I'm from Cedar Rapids, Iowa," he said. "That's about it. I'm a normal guy."
Denver, Shanahan sign up for three more years
Sounds a lot like Fleck. Two normal guys from Iowa who played their game. One was good enough to beat Ben Hogan at the U.S. Open. The other was good enough to beat Tiger Woods at the Masters.
DENVER — Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan signed a three-year contract extension, keeping him in Denver through the 2011 season.
PP
His victory total with Denver is 11th-best by one coach with one team in NFL history.
Shanahan, 54, led Denver to Super Bowl victories in 1997 and 1998. Since becoming head coach in January 1995, he has led the Broncos to nine playoff appearances and a 123-69 regular season record.
Shanahan was head coach of the Los Angeles Raiders from 1988-89. He has spent 20 years with Denver, joining the team in 1984 and also has served as wide receivers coach, quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator.

RECORD BREAKING Slovenian swims length of Amazon, goes to hospital
SAO PAULO, Brazil - A 52-year-old man who swam the 3,272-mile length of the Amazon River was released from the hospital Monday and recovering from health problems brought on by the 65-day swim, his son said.
Slovenian Martin Strel was hospitalized with high blood pressure and dizziness on Sunday immediately after completing the swim.
"He still hasn't completely recovered, of course. That's going to take some time," said his son and project coordinator, Borut Strel. "But he is better now."
Martin Streel reportedly lost 26 pounds during the swim.
If confirmed by Guinness World Records, it will be the fourth time he has broken a distance swimming record.

Wright's jump one year early
This column was a tough one to put into words. Hey Julian Wright, do you know what I mean?
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
TROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
"It was hard," Wright said of his decision to put his name into the NBA draft.
M. M. K.
"Money has never been my motivation." Wright said.
It sounded like it was tough, after listening to his explanation at his press conference Monday.
He also said he wasn't worried about getting injured and spoiling his NBA career. So what was it then? He said he was just looking for an opportunity to take his game to the next level.
"It's not anything negative," Wright said. "It's what I feel is necessary for me."
Fair enough, but I'm still shocked.
This was supposed to be a year away. Throughout Wright's time at Kansas, he assured the media and fans that he would return for his third season, graduate by May 2008 and begin his NBA career at that point. We all believed him, and it showed when Kansas lost to UCLA in San Jose, Calif.
I didn't notice any teary eyes in
the KU section, only slightly dreary faces who knew the next game was months away in November.
WRIGHT LEAVES FOR NBA
There were no farewells because no one thought them necessary, unlike every other season when fans have watched the departing seniors take their final steps in a Kansas uniform.
Wright's constant reiteration of his plan to return had Kansas fans filled with hope. This wasn't just hope for one more year of Wright's services as a Jayhawk, but for Kansas' future as a program — a kind of program where players like Danny Manning, Jacque Vaughn, Raef LaFrentz, Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich still stay around because they know they are a part of something more special than the NBA.
The most talented players rarely stay for four years, a harsh fact for most schools. Kansas has hardly been burdened by this, though. Only three players have ever left Kansas with eligibility remaining: Wilt Chamberlain, Paul Pierce and Drew Gooden. Now Wright is the fourth. In a couple of weeks, Brandon Rush could make it five.
Can we be a little disappointed?
"I don't think our fan can should be disappointed," Self said.
If everyone had returned, Kansas may as well have been penciled into the Final Four. This group was one year away from possible immortality in Jayhawk history. Now that Wright is gone, a huge piece will be missing, and the fans didn't even get to say a proper goodbye.
True, but it won't seem quite right without Wright.
"We're going to be good no matter what." Self said.
Robinett is an Austin, Texas senior in journalism.

Wright didn't have much time to bowl during the season, but he bowled three to four times a week after Kansas' NCAA tournament loss, laybowl provided a place for Wright get his mind off basketball. He even went there the day after the jayhawks' Elite Eight loss to UCLA. It's one of the many things Wright is going to miss when he's in the NBA.
"It's hard," Wright said. "It's still hard. I have mixed feelings, just walking on campus, the little things."
Fans will miss Wright too. He averaged modest numbers throughout his career, but he was still a fan favorite. They liked Wright's easy-going demeanor and smile. Although Wright had maintained he would stay for another year, students at the bowling alley weren't

angry when he announced that he was leaving.
Wright doesn't plan on signing with an agent and working out with most NBA teams until the end of May. Until then, he's going to finish school, and Overbey hopes he'll have time to drop by the laybow.

one who is not loyal. Instead he should be thanked for the two years of highlights that he provided to Kansas fans.

this year. Both were lucky and did not get hurt, but Davis saw his draft stock plummet. He went from being a top-15 pick to now being projected as a late second-round pick by nibadraft.net.
Noah's stock did not drop significantly. He ran the risk of getting hurt when he returned to Florida, but was able to stay healthy and will be a top-10 pick.
be able to experience the college life for one more year, the life that is so different from the day-to-day traveling that is life for an NBA player. But Wright needs to do what is best for himself, and what is best for his family. Right now, that is taking the money and beginning what he hopes is a long and prosperous NBA career. Even if his career is not successful, he will likely make enough money to create financial stability for his family for the rest of his life.
Players like Florida's Joakim Noah and Louisiana State's Glen Davis both elected to come back
Wright probably wouldn't get hurt if he decided to come back to Kansas for his junior year. He would
That does not appear to be a likely possibility, because unlike other players, he knows he will be one of the top selections.
"I don't know if there's really a need to test the waters," coach Bill Self said. "There are enough people that like Julian in the top 15 picks that have him very high on their board."
Edited by Joe Caponio
WRIGHT (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"I know I'm in for a long development process," he said. "I'm not ready for a full season right now. But I know that."
Wright had a strong season, starting 37 of 38 games and averaging 7.8 rebounds per game, but will have to make an adjustment to play in the NBA. Instead of playing under the basket, like he did at Kansas, he will move outside the paint and have the opportunity for more iump shots.
Colaiani is a McLean, Va., senior in journalism and political science.
He'll also have to build up his strength. An NBA season lasts 82 games, more than double the collegiate season.
Wright's decision to jump to the NBA was a surprise, because he had said just weeks earlier that he was "100 percent" certain he would return to Kansas for a junior season.
On Monday, he said that during the season he was focused on playing for the jayhawks, and after the season ended he was caught off-guard to learn that he would have options.
"I was kind of surprised I was being looked at seriously this year," he said. "It's hard. It was a tough decision."
He said that his family helped him gather information about where he might be selected. Self has been out of town on recruiting trips recently, but visited with Wright when he was in Lawrence. On Friday, Wright stopped by the coach's office to let him know he had made up his mind.
Self headed out of town for the weekend, with Wright planning to announce his intentions on Monday, but reporters found out about them before the weekend had ended.
Wright had one final meeting with
Self on Monday, but the coach didn't try to talk him out of his decision.
"If I were Julian, and I were in this situation, I'm not sure I wouldn't have made the same decision," Self said. "The only reason for him to stay would have been to get his degree."
After this semester, Wright will be 30 credit hours away from graduation, and will continue to work toward that goal, even as he plays professional basketball.
He said that he couldn't turn down the opportunity to play with the world's best players next season, and is already watching NBA games of the teams that might have high picks in the draft.
It may seem like an early jump to outsiders, but Wright is feeling confident about his decision. In high school, he began playing on the varsity team as a sophomore. He started a majority of the conference games for Kansas as a freshman, and now, as
a 19-year-old, he prepares to face the best players as a professional
BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK:
Rush in no hurry: Sophomore guard Brandon Rush is the other Jayhawk considering entering the NBA draft, but don't expect a decision from him anytime soon.
"He's still 10 days to two weeks away from knowing," Self said. "It's in his best interest to gather as much information as he can."
Postseason banquet tonight: The team will hold its annual postseason banquet and awards ceremony tonight at 7. Tickets are sold out for the event, which will take place at the Holiday Inn Holdome.

Robinson honored at Louisiana Capitol
BY MARY FOSTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
BATON ROUGE, La.
Thousands of mourners passed the open casket of Eddie Robinson on Monday in the Louisiana Capitol, where the famed Grambling State football coach viewed the body of slain political titan Huey Long more than 70 years ago.
Robinson, who endured the indignities of the Jim Crow era while building tiny and predominantly black Grambling into a football power, died last week at 88.
His body was carried up a long stretch of granite steps by dozens of white-gloved former players, including former Super Bowl MVP Doug Williams.
Doris Robinson, Robinson's wife of 67 years, sat beside the coffin during a private morning memorial service for players and coaches. She placed a football in the coffin and rested her hand on Robinson's head.
"I'm dong OK," she said later. "I already miss him so much, but I can't
keep breaking down."
An abbreviated version of the renowned Grambling band played the national anthem after the casket was placed at one end of Memorial Hall, the two-story, marble-and bronze-trimmed space between the Capitol's House and Senate chambers.
Robinson is believed to be just the fifth person to lie in repose at the Capitol. Others include Long, the former governor and senator, and his brother, Earl, also a former governor.
When Huey Long died in 1935, the coach and his wife, then teenage sweethearts, made it a point to go to the Louisiana Capitol, grandson Eddie Robinson III said.
"She told me how they walked hand-and-hand across town just to view the body," the grandson said.
Since his death, Robinson has been eulogized as a heroic figure: A patriot tested in the segregation era; a coach who built a football institution; a leader who set a life's example for young black men.

Edwards' wins open big points lead early
BY JENNA FRYER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carl Edwards never came close to winning the Busch Series title last season, when Kevin Harvick humiliated the competition with a near-flawless run to the championship.
Harwick wrapped up the title with a month to go and finished with an outrageous 824-point lead over runner-up Edwards.
Edwards was determined to put together a better show, so he decided to run the full Busch schedule this season.
That 35-race commitment gives the NASCAR star almost no break during the grueling February-to-November season. It's a never-ending circus of shuttling between garages and crisscrossing the country on private planes to make every event.
His win Saturday opened his lead in the Busch standings to 321 points over Dave Blaney. At this point last year, Harvick led by 146 points.
Once the schedule splits this summer, and four Busch races are held at different venues than Cup events. Edwards knows one rainy day could
shrink his lead dramatically.
"I guess that's what makes it interesting," he said. "Let's just say we miss all four of those, most likely it will be hard to win the championship. Or let's say we will definitely miss two of them because of weather, it would eat up any lead."
Everything went according to plan for Harvick last season, but it wore him down so much he vowed to never again run both series.
Edwards has yet to tire from the grind.

Cold temperatures affect play
BY RONALD BLUM ASSOCIATED PRESS
After a frosty first week baseball quickly made a move for warmth and shifted the Los Angeles Angel's series against the Indians from Cleveland to an enclosed field in Milwaukee.
That didn't do much good for Indians fans on Monday. For the fourth straight day, games were wiped out by snow at Jacobs Field, sending the Seattle Mariners packing without playing an inning that counted.
All of a sudden, players are tracking snowfall and wind chill with the same interest as balls, strikes and outs.
Commissioner Bud Selig thinks it would impracticable to start the season with games only in warm-weather cities and ballparks with domes.
"It's stupid. It's crazy," said Indians pitcher C.C. Sabathia. "We should definitely be starting somewhere else, definitely on the West Coast or somewhere with a dome so this doesn't happen."
At least in Milwaukee the Indians will be assured of playing the Angels in a three-game set that starts Tuesday night because Miller Park has a retractable roof. Fans will get a bargain: All tickets will be $10.
"Games have been snowed out for
130 years. Like with everything in life, you need luck," he said. "It's an impossible situation because no matter what you do, the clubs don't want long road trips. You just do the best you can. This is very unusual. We're getting late-February weather."
During a week as cold as a Barry Bonds brushoff, temperatures weren't the only thing way down: Home runs plunged to their lowest level since 1993, with the average dropping from 2.4 in last season's opening week to 1.8 this year. It hasn't
been that low since a 1.6 average 14 years ago, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
"It's freezing. Who can hit a home run right now?" said Baltimore Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada, a former MVP.
In addition to the Mariners Indians series, one game apiece was lost in New York, Chicago and Detroit.
Cold didn't stop Tampa Bay's Elijah Dukes, who hit his first two career homers at Yankee Stadium. He connected for his second while wearing a ski mask with a slit around the eyes just wide enough to allow him to see, looking more cat burglar than slugger.
"Games have been snowed out for 130 years.Like with everything in life,you need luck."
Baseball tried to work around the cold a decade ago, without great
Runs per game dropped from 10.51 to 8.55, a level unseen since 1992's 8.21. Pitcher's ERAs fell from 4.94 to 3.72, also a 15-year low.
BUD SELIG MLB commissioner
"Everywhere I turn on TV and watch highlights, it seems pretty cold," said New York Mets first baseman Carlos Delgado. "And I can tell you that most of the hitters, they don't like to hit when it's cold. That's my conspiracy theory right there."

success. After enduring a snowout at Boston's Fenway Park, a snowy afternoon at Yankee Stadium and cold in Detroit and Chicago in 1996, baseball remade the schedule for 1997, using covered fields and
After teams in the East and Midwest got home, eight games were washed out by weather on the season's second Saturday, raising that year's total to 17.
Draft schedules must be given to the players' association about nine months before opening day. "Those warm-weather clubs, they don't want 25 April dates," Selig said.

Olympic gold medalist pleads guilty to conspiracy
BY TOM HAYS ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Olympic sprinter Tim Montgomery, once considered the fastest man on Earth until his world record was erased in the BALCO steroid scandal, pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy in a multimillion-dollar bank fraud and money-laundering scheme.
"I sincerely regret the role I played in this unfortunate episode," Montgomery said in a statement following the plea. "I have disappointed many people, and for that I am truly sorry."
Montgomery's plea deal "reflects his minor role" in an alleged conspiracy and does not require him to testify at the trial of his former coach, Steven Riddick, and other co-defendants, according to his lawyers. That trial is scheduled to begin Tuesday.
Defense attorneys said Montgomery could be sentence

be sentenced to 37 to 46 months in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for Nov.1. The U.S. attorney's office had no immediate comment.
TIM MONTGOMERY Sprinter
At Monday's hearing, prosecutor Danya Perry told the judge the government hadampleevidence Montgomery
conspired with others to deposit checks that he knew were counterfeit.
Montgomery, 32, was charged last year along with Riddick, and 11 others in an alleged conspiracy to deposit $5 million in stolen, altered or counterfeit checks at several banks over three years.
An alleged coconspirator, Ephraim Richardson, previously pleaded guilty to a single charge of conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
The government had accused Montgomery of participating in a plot created by two other defendants who set up sham businesses to take checks stolen from banks and alter them or make counterfeits.
Montgomery allegedly deposited three bogus checks worth a total of $775,000. He also was accused of helping Riddick deposit others worth at least $905,000 and accepting a $20,000 fee for his role. Riddick, a 1976 Olympic medalist, has maintained his innocence.
Montgomery was a 2000 Olympic gold medalist and a former 100-meter world record holder. He retired in 2005 after he was banned from track and field for two years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport for doping linked to the investigation of BALCO, the lab at the center of a steroid scandal in sports.
Montgomery never tested positive for drugs, and has said he never knowingly took any banned substances.

Last year's finalists out of Stanley Cup quest
NHL
BY IRA PODELL ASSOCIATED PRESS
One thing is certain: A new team will skate with the Stanley Cup this year.
And it could be a club from the East no one saw coming.
For the first time in the modern NHL era, neither finalist from the previous season made it back to the playoffs. So with champion Carolina and Edmonton out of the picture, the 16 remaining teams begin their pursuit of the crown.
The Southeast Division provided the winners on each side of the seasonlong lockout — Tampa Bay in 2004 and Carolina last year. The Lightning and Hurricanes earned top seeds in the Eastern Conference, then beat upstarts from the bottom of the West. Sixth-seeded Calgary got to Game 7 against Tampa Bay, and No. 8 Edmonton repeated the feat versus the Hurricanes.
If another bottom-rung club makes a run, don't be surprised if it's a team closer to the Atlantic Ocean instead of the Pacific.
"Every team is dangerous," said 19-year-old Sidney Crosby, from the fifth-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins. "You always look at teams that finish off strong. It's all about timing."
You don't have to look any farther than Long Island to see that. The New York Islanders appeared out of the playoff race following noncompetitive losses
just over a week ago to powerhouses Buffalo and Ottawa in the aftermath of goalie Dri DiPietro's concussion.
Yet, they bounced back with four straight wins and eked into the playoffs ahead of Toronto and Montreal on the final day of the season by beating New Jersey in a shootout. Now they have their sights set on top-seeded Buffalo, which earned 113 points and had the NHL's best record for the first time in team history.

Blues' injuries halt playoff run

ST. LOUIS — Jay McKee is excited about next season, but not for the same reasons as most of his St. Louis Blues teammates: After an injury-plagued first season with the team, he's still waiting to show his skills.

McKee was one of new management's big offseason free agent pickups last summer, but ended up playing only 23 games in the first year of a four-year contract.

McKee, who played in only one game after mid-January, appeared in 75 last season and has played in 605 games over 10 seasons. Team doctors want him to rest for another month so he can return at full strength next fall.

Injuries to other key players hampered the Blues, who missed the playoffs for the second straight year but improved 24 points and finished one game below .500 after trailing the NHL in 2005-06. Goalie Manny Legace missed the last month with a knee injury and defenseman Bryce Salvador and forwards Martin Rucinsky and Dan Hinote also missed significant time.

Student Union Activities offers spotlight for personal prose
BY BETHANY BUNCH
Five KU students read their poetry to a small crowd and for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to Massachusetts Street on Tuesday night at the Hawk's Nest in the Kansas Union. Although the theme of the night was publicized to be love, poets exhausted a range of topics, which included
ninja school.
Shawn Bowers, Overland Park junior, read two lengthy poems with great expression and with a sense of comfort and ease. One poem was entitled "Secret Ninja School."
Bowers read "Secret Ninja School" before moving onto his second poem, "I Hate You Ronald McDonald." His fictional ninja poem was about an ad he saw in a
newspaper for a ninja school. Once enrolling, he found he was being tricked into learning subjects like English and science because the teachers were ninjas. The Ronald McDonald poem was about a crazed McDonald's customer set out to kill Ronald McDonald because he was a "scary clown."
"I like the sound of my own voice," Bowers said. "I talk to myself a lot and eventually it makes it on the page."
It wasn't Bowers' first time read his poetry at an open forum.
The audience cast ballots of their top three choices. Bowers came out on top.
"This is just a good forum to try out new material," flowers said.

Top campaign issues face critics
Delta Force, Students' Rights and United Students will vie for top spots in the Student Senate elections, but how realistic are their campaign goals?
BY ASHLEE KIELER
Each coalition created platforms that it thinks can change the University of Kansas.The presidential and vice presidential nominees were asked to present what they felt was their most important platform issue.
Delta Force focused its platforms on safety. The most important platform issue involves the expansion of the Blue Light System on campus.
"We will expand the Blue Light system to several off-campus locations including the neighborhoods between Ninth and 13th Street and Iowa and Massachusetts," said John Cross, Kansas City, Mo., junior and presidential candidate.
BLUE LIGHTS
Cross cited Lawrence police statistics as having 15 rapes and sexual assaults, 359 combined assaults, 18 robberies, three kidnappings, and one murder in these neighborhoods during 2006.
Cross said the platform was realistic because the money used for the Blue Light System was allocated from Senate.
"It is our responsibility to improve student life at KU, and
now one of the greatest detriments to student life is crime." Cross said.
TEXTBOOK RENTAL
The creation of a textbook rental program is Students' Rights goal when reaching office.
"Students' Rights most important platform affects all students at the University;" said Johnathan Wilson, Paola sophomore and presidential candidate.
Their plan, modeled after Northwest Missouri State University's rental program, allows students to pay a flat fee each semester for their books. The textbooks are returned to the University at the end of each semester.
Tim Norris, KU Memorial Union bookstore director, said the idea of a textbook rental program would be interesting to investigate. He said a lot of issues would need to be discussed, like start-up costs and academic freedom issues for teachers.
"It would obviously work better in lower-level courses, but higher-Level courses, the teachers like to specify the books used." Norris said.

Wilson said the benefits of the program were endless - most importantly, bringing money back to students.

Three referendums would appear on the ballot. Two referendums ask for student support for SafeBus and homecoming. The other referendum asks for the reallocation of fees to support a renewable energy and sustainability fund.
This semester Senate increased student fees $54.75 per semester, which included the costs of purchasing newer buses after a University-wide election failed. The Safebus referendum and the homecoming referendum ask students to support an additional $6 in fees, totaling an increase of $60.75.
One referendum on the ballot asks for a $4 increase to the SafeRide fee to support a SafeBus program. SafeBus would provided bus routes to and from downtown Lawrence during weekend evenings.
Cox said that if the referendum passed, the next step was to put the bus contracts out for bid to find a service provider.
"SafeBus will make the ability to go out and get home easier for students," said Tom Cox, Shawnee junior and the bills author.
The Lawrence Bus Company determined the bus routes for the program. Buses would travel on Kentucky and Tennessee streets, by Campus Court at Naismith, 1301 W. 24th St.; Meadowbrook, 2601 Dover Square; Daisy Hill; GSP-Corbin Hall; and many sororities and fraternities. The buses would also loop around Massachusetts Street.
"We could see this implemented by the fall semester," Cox said.
The final referendum does not increase student fees, rather it gives students the opportunity to decide what their fees go to.
"Homecoming is a week to promote school spirit," said Rachel Barnes, Hutchinson junior and sponsorship chair for the homecoming committee. "It's not just about the football game."
Barnes couldn't specify what new events would be created, but she said some money would go to sponsor "Stuff the Bus," a food drive event.
"Adding more events gives us the chance to get more students involved." Barnes said.
The referendum asks students if they think the University should make efforts to ensure that it be reliant on renewable energy for 20 percent of its power supply by the year 2020.
The referendum also asks students to support the reallocation of $1.50 from student fees to create a renewable energy and sustainability fund. The fund would make it possible to meet the 20 percent goal.
"This isn't only the opportunity to distancing the University from fossil fuels but also to secure the next generations energy resources," said Studio Red Corn, Shawnee junior and First Nations Student Association senator.
Each referendum appears on the ballot beginning today. Voting can be done online or at polling booths at Wescoe Beach and Mrs. Es. Online voting starts today at 6 a.m. and goes to 10 p.m., and continues Thursday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Voting at the polling sites run from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. today and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Kori Green
BY RACHEL BURCHFIELD
After Kori Green graduated from the University of Kansas in 2000 with a degree in women's studies, she went to work for both the Douglas County and Sedgwick County district attorneys' offices and had plans of eventually going to law school. Rather than amass a large amount of debt pursuing a career that she no
longer had the same enthusiasm for, Green enrolled again at the University in 2004 to pursue undergraduate degrees in history and secondary history and government education.
Though University life has been different for Green, a Wichita senior, as she pursues her second degree, one piece of her first undergraduate experience has become part of the second. In 1999 Green served as a peer adviser and did so again in 2000, even after she graduated that May with her women's studies degree. After she returned to the University, Green served as an orientation assistant in 2005 and as a peer adviser again in 2006. This summer will be Green's fourth summer as a peer adviser, and she said that she had learned much from her job.
"I realized that you don't have to remain unhappy," she said. "You can go back to school. You have choices, and you have the power to change."
"It gives me an insight into the inner workings of the University, especially the administration and student success," she said. "It has been a great experience and it has opened up so many possibilities."
Green and the 19 other members of the peer adviser team work 10 to 15 hours per week during the summer. They see more than 5,000 students come through the orientation process, said Shanda Hurla, assistant director of the Freshman Sophomore Advising Center and Green's boss. Hurla estimated that peer advisers work with about 20 to 30 students every day one-on-one. Those conversations have proven to be one of Green's favorite parts of her job.
"The contact with students and
the one-on-one time has been beneficial to me," she said. "We are a real face that they can connect with, a student who has been there recently in the trenches. I hope they leave with a really positive impression, an 'I can do this' type feeling."
The team is composed of many different types of students, and Green said the hope was that every student that went through the orientation process could connect with at least one of the peer advisers.
"We work really hard to get a diverse and representative group," Green said. "We want a group where just about any student can find someone to identify with."
One of Green's favorite experiences with being an adviser is when she runs into students that she previously helped.
"Students do remember you," Green said. "They see you as someone they know, someone that knows what's going on. It's nice to be that person."

KANSAS PUBLIC RADIO Membership drive raises more than $220,000
Kansas Public Radio raised $220,190 in pledges during this spring's membership drive. The drive, which lasted eight days, earned more money for the radio station faster than any other drive in the past 10 years.
Phil Wilke, KPR media manager, said the total included pledge calls made to the station and money received in a direct-mail campaign. He said he expected to raise about $30,000 through delayed contributions from listeners and from grants promised by individuals and businesses.
"We have some very generous and dedicated listeners" Milke said.
and dedicated listeners, Wike said. He said about one-third of KPR's yearly budget came from its biyear membership drives. He said the money would be used to pay for airtime on satellite radio, membership to news associations, music and programming.
KPR broadcasts on KANU 91.5 FM in Lawrence, KANH 89.7 FM in Emporia, KANV 91.3 FM in Olsburg Junction City and K210CR 89.9 FM in Atchison.

University retains rankings
Two graduate programs keep No.1 spot in U.S.News report
BY NATHAN GILL
Two University of Kansas graduate programs hung on to No.1 spots and four moved up in the annual U.S. News & World Report rankings released March 30.
The report, "America's Best Graduate Schools," surveyed more than 1,200 schools and rated programs using indicators such as opinions from academic experts and program statistics.
Cynthia Powell, U.S. News public relations director, said the report's purpose was to provide graduate students with information about academic programs, and that the report could be used instead of a university's marketing literature.
"The decision of what graduate school to go to is one of the biggest financial decisions a person has in his or her lifetime," Powell said.
The University's graduate programs in education, petroleum engineering, biological sciences and law moved up since last year's rankings, and the special education, city management and urban policy programs held steady at number one.
Twenty-four KU programs were rated in the top 25 among public universities, several in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Biological sciences at the University ranked 30th this year, up from 56th a year ago.

an accomplishment," Steinmetz said, referring to the University's biology rating. "It shows we're certainly getting better in the eyes of those who are doing the rank-ins."
Steinmetz said the college had been working to expand its biology department for several years. He said that money from the University's Tuition
Enhancement Program had helped hire faculty for both KU biology departments, which are currently searching to fill eight new faculty positions.
Prema Sundaram, Chennai, India, doctoral student in molecular biology, said KU biology was strong and hired faculty who brought cutting-edge research and research grants to the University.
"I am definitely glad to be here." Sundarra said.

Loan investigation deepens
>> FINANCIAL AID
BY MARK JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALBANY, N.Y. — Cozy arrangements between colleges and the companies that lend their students billions of dollars are far more widespread than anticipated, New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo told The Associated Press Tuesday, just as two more college financial aid officers were suspended amid a probe into the $85 billion industry.
Cuomo would not divulge where the burgeoning investigation is headed next, including whether more subpoenaes are on the way. But he said the investigation could lead to criminal charges against high-ranking officials at both lending companies and universities.
"This is like peeling an onion," Cuomo said. "It seems to be getting worse the more we uncover. It's
more widespread than we originally thought ... More schools and more lenders at the top end.
"We have demonstrated this is not just the exception," he said. "This is the rule."
Cuomo is investigating alleged kickbacks to school officials who steered students to certain lenders. His investigators said they found numerous arrangements that benefited schools, financial aid officers and lenders at the expense of students.
Investigators found that many colleges had established "preferred lender" lists and entered into revenue sharing and other financial arrangements with those lenders. Some colleges have "exclusive" preferred lender agreements with the companies.
So far, six schools, including the University of Pennsylvania and
New York University, have agreed to reimburse students a total of $3.27 million for inflated loan prices caused by revenue-sharing agreements, Cuomo said.
On Monday, a loan company at the center of the investigation, CIT Group Inc., placed three top executives at its Student Loan Xpress division on paid leave following allegations of stock transactions with a high-level U.S. Department of Education official and college financial aid officers.
The Department of Education official who oversaw parts of the student loan industry was also placed on leave after it was reported that in 2003 he owned at least $100,000 worth of stock in Education Lending Group Inc., the former parent of Student Loan Xpress. The company was acquired by CIT in 2005.

Speech sends message of values
BY TYLER HARBERT
As an 18-year-old undergraduate at Ohio State University in 1970, John R. Kasich was invited to spend five minutes alone with President Richard Nixon in the Oval Office. The meeting lasted almost 20 minutes, and Kasich said he didn't get that much time alone with a president during his 18 years serving in the U.S. House of Representatives.

"Don't ever let anybody deny you anything," Kasich said.
Kasich, a former Congressman and a best-selling author and businessman, talked for an hour Tuesday night at the Lied Center about the need for America to regain its values.
The two-time best selling author of "Stand for Something," the Battle for America's Soul," and "Courage is Contagious" gave credit to God and to his parents.
"My mother and father gave me a value system that served me throughout my life," he said.
He said he hoped students would embrace his same values such as honesty, integrity and personal responsibility.
He also said the greatest challenge the U.S. faces was holding onto its values and not shedding them, "if the going gets tough."
Kasich said the country needed to focus less on outside threats like al-Qaida and worry more about internal issues.
One of the biggest internal threats, he said, was the corruption of youth through popular culture, music, sports and the actions of celebrities
such as Britney Spears .
He said drugs and violence could have a trickle-down effect on children who imitate celebrities.
But he said there have been other well-known people who used their celebrity to spread positive messages, like Bono, the Rev, Billy Graham and Pat Tillman, who Kasich said believed in "standing up and doing what's right".
"So who do you want to hang with, Britney or Bono?" Kasil asked.
Marina Sulastri, Jember,
Indonesia, senior, said her favorite
part of Kasich's lecture was when
he advised young people to choose
their celebrity influences wisely.
"They should like a person based on their values." Sulasri said.
Keane Crowder, Lawrence senior,
said Kasich was a nice change from
typical politicians and their rhetoric.
Kasich is currently a Wall Street investment banker.

In the address she gave upon becoming mayor, Hack also proposed a 1-cent sales tax increase that would help fund a new public library, new recreational facilities, infrastructure improvements and economic development.
New mayor Sue Hack began her one-year term as Lawrence Mayor on Tuesday. Hack served as mayor from 2002-2003 and said she feels more in control for her 2007 term.

Hack said she preferred a sales tax increase to a property tax increase because it would allow the city to tax people who spend money in Lawrence but live elsewhere. However, she said she understood the controversy surrounding any tax increase.
"Commissioners do not get elected by promising to raise taxes," she said.
A sales tax increase would be subject to a public vote.
Hack, a retired teacher who now works part-time for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, also said that Lawrence needed to change its image so businesses might view the city as more development-friendly.
She said the city needs to look at ways to improve traffic in the area near 15th and lowa streets, where she said many people tend to drive through residential neighborhoods on their way to campus.
Hack said the Lawrence City Commission would also soon tackle the issues of a domestic partner registry, expanded rental registration and downtown safety.
State Attorney General Paul Morrison told the city last week that a domestic partner registry, which would allow same-sex couples to document their relationships with the city, would not violate the state constitution.
She said the expanding of rental registration, which would require all rental property in the city to obtain a license and submit to periodic safety inspections, would require more
study, but it might be necessary.
"I want to make sure that we use all the tools we have available before we put on another layer of regulations on rental properties," she said.
The commission chose Hack as mayor in accordance with tradition. Because Hack received the second-most votes in the 2005 commission election, she became mayor two years later after serving one year as vice mayor.
The commission chose newly elected commissioner Mike Dever as the new vice mayor because he was the top vote getter in last week's election. If the commission continues to follow tradition, Dever will become mayor in 2008.
The mayor of Lawrence leads city commission meetings, helps set the commission's agenda, appoints members to various advisory boards and interacts with the public in different wavs.
Commissioner Mike Amyx handed over his mayor's gavel to Hack Tuesday night after serving as mayor for a year. He said the position required a great deal of tireless work and cooperation with many different people.
"It's as full-time-plus as any job you could ever imagine," Amyx said.
Hack served as mayor once before, from 2002-2003. She said the job overwhelmed her at first.
"I've laughed with my friends that I just wanted to hit myself with the gavel my first year," she said, "but now I feel a little bit more in control of the job."

POETRY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Dennis Mersmann, Lawrence senior, reads poetry in public forums often. He won second place and a $25 gift certificate Tuesday night for his comedic poems about a kid in his residence hall who doesn't wear a shirt and another poem entitled "Great Communicator", which satires a lack of communication with an ex-girlfriend. He said he won the first poetry reading competition he entered last year and was hooked. Mersmann has since entered every Student Union Activities Poetry Slam and reads periodically at the Iazzhaus. 926 1/2 Massachusetts St.
"We're here to entertain not to think about metaphor or rhyme structure," Mersmann said.
But some audience members were there to think about such things.
Justin Litt, Minneapolis, Minn., sophomore, was encouraged to attend the event by his poetry writing professor. Litt said he could hear many of the poetic techniques he had learned about in class.
"I thought the material was more funny," Litt said, "but I saw a lot of metaphors, euphony and heard good flow."
While poets like Bowers read eloquently, other poets laughed and stumbled their way awkwardly through material. This was the third and final SUA Poetry Sham of the semester.

》 LIQUOR SALES
Senate bill changes city laws
BY JOE HUNT
Two Kansas cities voted to expand liquor laws last week and one chose not to.
Mulvane will allow liquor sales for the first time, Andover will allow liquor sales on Sundays pending city council approval and Sedgwick will continue to prohibit Sunday liquor sales.
Laws restricting alcohol sales across Kansas were overruled in 2005 with Senate Bill 298, which called for uniform liquor control laws. Cities would have to pass new laws to further limit the sale of liquor.
Mulvane had never had a liquor store, yet had no laws against selling liquor until someone tried to open a store in 1981. Kent Hixson, city administrator, said that the attempt spurred the citizens to vote against the sale of all but 3.2 percent beer and wine.
Last Tuesday two-thirds of Mulvane voted in favor of selling liquor, although Sunday sales will still be prohibited.
In Sedgwick there has been controversy about Sunday liquor sales. Jaci Reimer, city administrator, said a local store owner felt she was losing money by not operating on Sundays. She petitioned to the city council, which passed an ordinance allowing Sunday sales, despite disagreement from the mayor. Local citizens were so upset they petitioned to vote on the ordinance, and the ordinance was voted down.
Kansan staff writer Joe Hunt can be contacted at Jhunt@kansan. com.

Andover city administrator Jeff Bridges expects the council to approve Sunday sales by the first week in May. Andover will join 59 other cities that allow the sale of liquor on Sunday.
HIJACKING IN TURKEY Suspect apprehended, no explosives found
ANKARA, Turkey — A man who allegedly commandeered a Turkish jetliner Tuesday by threatening to set off a bomb was detained after the plane landed in Ankara, but no explosives were found, authorities said.
Transport Minister Binali Yildirim said a passenger announced he had a bomb after the Pegasus airline Boeing 737 took off from Diyarbakir, the largest city in Turkey's southeast.
The man, identified as Mehmet Goksin Gol, 39, initially said he wanted the plane diverted to the capital, Ankara, but changed his mind and demanded it飞 to
Tehran, Iran, Yildirim said. But the pilots landed at Ankara and the man gave himself up about 40 minutes later.
Yildirim said the man did not make any political demands and the reason for the hijacking was unknown.
No injuries were reported.

United Students most important platform issue deals with academic freedom.

The platform calls for the institution of a dead week before finals and an 'A' guarantee for credit/no credit.

The idea of a dead week would guarantee that students would not have a test the week before finals.
"Currently a student can have a test on Thursday and a final on Monday," said Ray Wittlinger, Olathe
Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said students would have to make a case to the faculty governance for why this should happen. The governance is open to hear any changes to the policy, Cohen said.
An "A" guarantee for students opting to take credit/no credit means a student who earns an "A" keeps the grade.
"By allowing them to receive the 'A' they are being rewarded," Wittlinger said.

If United Students wins the election and is found guilty of defamation with malicious intent, it could be disqualified, Witty said.

"This is indicative of the hostile environment surrounding the coalitions," Witty said. "The hostility they have toward each other is unfortunate."

"I called Wittlinger and asked him about the statements," Connor said. "When I heard it again the next week, I filed the complaint."
"If they are found to be completely malicious in the statements, the commission could impose a large fine."
CAYLA WITTY Elections commissioner on the allegations against United Students
Wittlinger said United Students had stood and practiced integrity throughout the campaign.
"Every year Delta Force attempts to distract from the campaign because they can't stand on their own ideas and make frivolous claims to the election commission and try to get negative stories written about their opponents in the papers." Wittinger said.
Witty said the only other complaint she had seen similar to this was two years ago.

Wittlinger said that the student body was smarter and better than these allegations.
The results of the election can be contested before the commission's decision on Monday
Witty said that if the commission found the case to be feasible, a new election could take place.

>> GLOBAL WARMING
Latin America unprepared
U.N. report details projected effects of climate change
BY JULIE WATSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY — Rising global temperatures could melt Latin America's glaciers within 15 years, cause food shortages affecting 130 million people across Asia by 2050 and wipe out Africa's wheat crop, according to a U.N. report released Tuesday.
The report, written and reviewed by hundreds of scientists, outlined dramatic effects of climate change including rising sea levels, the disappearance of species and intensifying natural disasters. It said 30 percent of the world's coastlines could be lost by 2080.
Scientists with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change outlined details of the report in news conferences around the world Tuesday, four days after they released
a written summary of their findings. The report is the second of three being issued this year; the first dealt with the physical science of climate change and the third will deal with responses to it.
In Mexico City, scientists predicted that global warming could cost the Brazilian rain forest up to 30 percent of its species and turn large swaths into savannah.
They said ocean levels are projected to rise 4.3 feet by 2080 and flood low-lying cities including Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Polar ice caps will likely melt, opening a waterway at the North Pole and threatening to make the Panama Canal obsolete, IPCC member Edmundo de Alba said. Warmer waters will spawn bigger and more dangerous hurricanes that will threaten coastlines not traditionally
affected by them.
Latin America's diverse ecosystems will struggle with intense droughts and flooding and as many as 70 million people in the region will be left without enough water, according to the report.
Many Latin American farmers will have to abandon traditional crops such as corn, rice, wheat and sugar as their soil becomes increasingly saline, and ranchers will have to find new ways to feed their livestock, scientists said.
"What's clear is places suffering from drought are going to become drier, and places with a large amount of precipitation are going to see an increase in precipitation," de Alba said.
They warned that governments are doing too little to prepare for the changes.

long-term plans in Latin America. Governments look the other way $ ^{a} $ IPCC member Osvaldo Canziani said in Buenos Aires.
The report said Africa is most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.' The fallout from a swiftly warming planet — extreme weather, flooding, outbreaks of disease
will only exacerbate troubles in the world's poorest continent, said Anthony Nyong, one of the lead authors.
Wheat, a staple in Africa, may disappear from the continent by the 2080s, the report said.
Africa has "the least responsibility for climate change and yet it is per-
versely the continent with the most at risk if greenhouse gases are not cut," said Achim Steiner, executive director of the U.N. Environment Program.
in China. In Bangladesh, rice production may fall by just under 10 percent and wheat by a third by the year 2050.
But Nyong said African governments cannot rely on outside aid to fix problems from climate change.
The report suggests that a 3.6-degree increase in average air temperature could decrease rain-fed rice yields by 5 percent to 12 percent
In Asia, nearly 100 million people will face the risk of floods from seas that are expected to rise between 0.04 inches to 0.12 inches annually, slightly higher than the global average.
The drops in yields combined with rising populations could put close to 50 million extra people at risk of hunger by 2020,132 million by 2050 and 266 million by 2080,the report said.
"It is absolutely vital that international action is taken now to avoid dangerous climate change." Steiner said. "Otherwise the consequences for food and water security in Asia, as for many other parts of the world are too alarming to contemplate."
NORTH KOREA
Disarmament deadline nears
BY FOSTER KLUG ASSOCIATED PRESS
PYONGYANG, North Korea — A U.S. nuclear negotiator expressed hope Tuesday that North Korea could still meet a weekend deadline for taking initial steps toward dismantling its nuclear program as a Bush administration official warned that time was running out.
The optimism from Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill comes after the U.S. Treasury Department said authorities in the Chinese-administered region of Macau are prepared to unblock the frozen funds that North Korea says are the reason it has refused to implement a disarmament agreement.
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters Tuesday that Macau authorities have made the funds available for withdrawal, citing remarks by a spokeswoman for the Monetary Authority of Macau.
A call to a spokesman of Banco Delta Asia, where the funds are being
held, was not immediately returned Tuesday. The bank had been blacklisted by Washington for allegedly helping the North launder money and its North Korean accounts were frozen. The bank has denied any wrongdoing.
"It's obviously a big step that I think should clear the way for the (North) to step up the process of dealing with its obligations within the 60-day period," Hill said in Seoul, referring to a Saturday deadline under a February agreement where North Korea pledged to shut down its main atomic reactor in exchange for energy aid and political concessions.
South Korean nuclear envoy Chun Young-woo, speaking with Hill, said all North Korean accounts at Banco Delta Asia had been unblocked.
"This means North Korean account holders can withdraw the money in all of the accounts;" Chun said.
He added later that the hold on the accounts would be lifted Wednesday morning.
The Macau monetary authority spokeswoman, Wendy Au, told Kyodo News that the funds had been unblocked.
"The account holders or authorized parties can go to the bank and withdraw or deal with their deposits." Au said.
Later, McCormack referred to the Kyodo report and said: "We don't have any doubts that this is, in fact, what they have done."
After meeting in Seoul with China's nuclear envoy, Chun said China also believed the move would help advance the disarmament process.
If North Korea follows through with its promises, it would be the first moves the communist state has made to scale back its nuclear development since it kicked out international inspectors and in 2003 restarted its sole operating nuclear reactor.
The hard-won agreement, was reached four months after North Korea rattled the world by testing a nuclear device.

EDITORIAL: Student Senate elections begin today. The Kansan editorial board endorses a coalition and gives a call to action. See Kansan.com for more opinions and Free for All comments
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
OPINION
PAGE 11A
》OUR VIEW
Editorial board endorses coalition
Those who serve in Student Senate stand as tribunes for the masses, voices for those whose wishes are often lost in the clamor of everyday campus life. Ideally, those voices work to advance the causes of the greatest number of students while maintaining an efficient, streamlined student government. Too often, it seems, that advancement and representation gets lost in the bustle of intercoalition competition, résumé-padding and the comparatively trivial squabbles of the next campaign.
As the time draws nigh for the Editorial Board to endorse a coalition ticket for today's elections, we find our deliberations again tinged with disappointment. Each coalition is encouraging in its own right, and any of the six candidates for highest office would no doubt perform capably, decently and fairly. Our unavoidable air of melancholy comes not with the quality of the people, but with the staleness of the campaign ideas.
Too many of each coalition's platform proposals stand merely as platitudes and appeasements. We find the same ideas perennially resurrected, trotted out with renewed vigor and determination by the latest in a long line of ambitious would-be senators. They crowd Wescoe Beach, inundating the passersby with leaflets and buttons, crowing about the change that will finally come to campus. Their glowing promises are enticing to the ears of young students, those fed up with the system and determined to finally do something.
work!
Old ideas are given new names and retread proposals are repackaged as practical solutions. Each coalition claims in turn to have polled the most students and to have the unspoken support of the administration, each pledging that here, at long last, are ideas that
But semesters pass, the graduates proceed down the hill and through the Campanile, and few things ever change. Textbooks still break our bank accounts, parking spots remain as elusive as ever, and crime still occasionally permeates our idyllic campus. In the next campaign season, only one thing is guaranteed: a new round of candidates, a few renamed coalitions, each promising to lower textbook prices, create new parking lots and eliminate unsafe campus elements.
It's our sincere hope that this year's candidates and winners view Student Senate as more than something you do for experience, a body whose importance goes beyond a line on a future cover letter. You are the chosen representatives of thousands, and your election carries an intrinsic responsibility that is not easily ignored. Work to benefit the campus community and you will be rewarded. Abdicate your charge and you will join the depressingly long ranks of those before you.
With that said, we endorse the United Students ticket for today's election. Though we appreciate the candid enthusiasm of Students' Rights and the earnest dedication of Delta Force, United Students seems to operate with a machine-like efficiency that would make Tweed and Pendergast proud. We caution, however, that United Students often sounds like a timely repackaging of coalitions past. We urge them to take a potential victory with the utmost seriousness and responsibility. Student Senate is not a résumé accoutrement — it is an elected body with significant tasks. Please treat it as such.

》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Speaker, columnist have right to expression
An article by Francesca Chambers recently published in The University Daily Kansan accused the Federalist Society of inviting a "blatant racist" to speak at its monthly meeting. As president of the Federalist Society and the person responsible for inviting speakers, I feel I should respond to this accusation.
The Federalist Society is a nonpartisan national organization of conservative and libertarian law students, law professors and legal practitioners who are dedicated to fostering balanced and open debate among students, academics, legal practitioners and public policy experts. The society was founded by a group of students who were dissatisfied with the orthodox liberal ideology and radicalism found in most of their classes and wanted to create a forum for debate on a wider range of legal viewpoints. We continue to work towards these goals. Professor Amy Wax was invited in an effort to achieve such ends. The Federalist Society does not necessarily support or endorse the viewpoint she or any other speaker we host advocates. We merely sought to create debate on an important societal issue. As evidenced by Ms. Chambers' article, we achieved this goal.
Ms. Chambers' charge of racism is unfair, but I believe she has a right to express her opinion. Our country was founded on the principles of freedom of speech and Ms. Chambers is welcome to express
her opinion about the event. However, I ask her to afford this same opportunity to Wax. We live in a diverse society with an abundance of diverging views and there are always going to be individuals with viewpoints we find offensive. Regardless of the fact that we find someone's view offensive is no justification to prevent that person from expressing it.
My last point of contention is the accusation that Wax didn't present a solution. It's unfair to say Wax is not concerned about these problems because she didn't offer a concrete resolution. If we silenced all discussion that failed to offer concrete solutions, our nation would be in a troublesome state especially because solutions
are often discovered through dialogue such as this. Furthermore, I think Chambers missed the point of Wax's presentation, which is that welfare and government intervention have not been effective in combating the nation's poverty and single-motherhood epidemic. The government has failed and in some ways made the problem worse, which is why Wax argued change is going to have to come from people, not government.
I must disagree with the substance of Chambers' article, but I appreciate it in so far as it furthers debate on this issue.

For any questions, call Courtney Hagen or Natalie Johnson at 864-4810 or e-mail opinion@kansan.com.
General questions should be directed to the editor at editor@kansan.com
How is it that we are able to move on when we are reminded on a weekly basis about the suffering that goes on in other countries? We either convince ourselves that we cannot do anything, or on some level we convince ourselves that it isn't real. How else would we be able to spend $20 at the Hawk when we know that same $20 would feed a family of four for a month in several other countries?
The simple answer is that we couldn't. The reality of the suffering of other human beings in this world is something we've become comfortable with ignoring. The reality is 20,000 people die every day due to extreme poverty. It doesn't have to be that way, but while the world has the resources to help its poorest citizens it lacks the will. Part of this is because the problem seems so large that we all end up asking ourselves "What can I do?"

We have all seen movies, informers or Bono talking about sending aid to some God-forsaken country where children live in the streets; most people don't have access to clean water, let alone medical care; and the number one cause of death for children under the age of five is dehydration, often due to diarrhea.

Campus Christians offer late-night hot dogs, spiritual conversation to partying students
BY ANDREW BREDESON
For most University of Kansas students, Friday nights mean deciding which party or bar to hit first and what kind of beer to buy. For the members of the Campus Christians, Friday nights mean five to six hours of spreading the ideals that govern their lives. One way they share their faith is by standing outside their house at 1320 Ohio St., giving hot dogs to anyone that wants them.
"I love this place, I've never felt judged" said Stephanie Bonson, Minneapolis, Minn., sophomore. Bonson said that they could be found giving away free hot dogs on even the coldest Fridays.
The group gives out between 400 and 450 hot dogs on a typical Friday night, and they are out in all types of weather. The funding for the hot dog distribution comes from donations from local churches and community members.
Standing less than a block from The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., and in the middle of an action-packed student neighborhood, the Campus Christians find that the vast majority of hot dog eaters stop by on their way to or from a night of partying. Martin Hamilton, St. Louis freshman, said that the location allowed them to reach a lot of people.
"It's really good outreach," Hamilton said.
From people driving the wrong direction on a one-way street to fights, the Campus Christians have seen it all. "We've even had somebody throw up in our house," said Tony Bedora, the group's director and a reli-
glious adviser in the Student Involvement and Leadership Center.
Tyler McKee, Holton sophomore, said that the house was there to be a place for people to come and relax.
The hot dog giveaway lasts from 9:30 p.m. until 2:30 or 3 a.m. Visitors have stayed until as late as 4:30 a.m. talking about spirituality, among other things. "If people need someone to talk to, we're here," McKeen said.
Most students who visit the house appreciate the goodwill.
"They're very hospitable," said Bonnie O'Malley, Evanston, Ill., freshman.
Their motivation is simple.
"I love God, God's people and God's world, and we wanted to find a practical way to reach out." Bedora said.
When many students think of interacting with religious groups, they picture group members standing on street corners handing out flyers that are likely to be thrown away. The Campus Christians are different. They encounter hundreds of students every Friday and hope to enhance each passerby's evening.
Bedora said that another goal they had was to break stereotypes.
They want to show students that Christians do not judge others based on the decision to drink and party and that not all Christians push others to change their beliefs. They simply wish to spread the love and generosity that is fundamental to their faith.

Banquet honors players, coaches'accomplishments
MEN'S BASKETBALL
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
This year's postseason awards banquet was missing one important thing: awards.
The event, which recognizes the men's basketball team at the end of the season, was instead a tribute to the team. Coach Bill Self said that it would be unfair to give individual awards because the team was successful this season because of its teamwork.
KU PETB
Only one award was handed out. The team votes each year to recognize one player as "Mr. Jayhawk" because of his overall contributions to the team. This year it was given to junior guard Russell Robinson. On a team with no seniors, Robinson assumed the leadership role and helped develop the younger players.
"All these guys could have scored more points than they did, and all these guys could have played more minutes than they did," he said. "But they didn't, because that gave us the best chance to go 33-5."
After the team was recognized. Self addressed one of his players. He turned to sophomore guard Brandon Rush, who is debating whether to enter the NBA draft.

The Kansas football team will play its spring scrimmaq at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday at Memorial Stadium. Coach Mark Mangino will put sophomores Todd Reesing and Todd Meier to the test in order to decide the starting quarterback for the 2007 season.
Quarterback job up for grabs
BY ASHER FUSCO
For every player on the Kansas football team, spring practices serve as auditions. Those who catch the attention of the coaching staff will be first in line to see more playing time come September.
Competition for playing time in the spring is fairly routine, but when the quarterback position is involved, the position battle holds a bit more intrigue.
Between now and the season opener on Sept. 1, coach Mark Mangino has a decision to make concerning the situation at quarterback.
"I haven't picked anybody," Mangino said last week. "Someone will have to win the job."
Mangino spoke little of the quarterback dilemma at last Wednesday's open practice, suggesting that sophomores Kerry Meier and Todd Reesing are on equal footing as spring practices wind down.
Meier, who was thrust into the role of starter as a freshman last season, fits the mold of the typical Big 12 Conference quarterback tall and powerful, with the ability to tuck the ball away and pick up a few yards on the

Winning Tigers pose tough challenge
The Jayhawks are traveling to Columbia, Mo., after coming off a series against Texas this past weekend, where they won one (2-0) and lost one (3-2) against the No. 11 Longhorns.
BY EVAN KAFARAKIS
Trying to get back in the swing of things, the Kansas softball team will face off against Missouri at 6 tonight.
Senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys performed up to her potential in the Longhorns series by pitching 10/2/3 innings allowing four hits and striking out 13. Eleven strikeouts came in

The Tigers win with an offense ranking third in the Big 12 in team batting average .300), second in runs scored (276) and first in doubles (75).
Missouri is 5-0 in the Big 12 as the Tigers are riding a seven-game winning streak heading into their game against the Jayhawks.
The pitching has been troublesome for the Tigers on the season as they rank last in the Big 12 with a 3.89 team ERA.
The Jayhawks have won the past two games against the Tigers, winning 5-1 and 2-0 last spring.
Kansas is 2-5 in its past seven games, but keeping the series close with the Longhorns was a good sign for the layhawks.

COMMENTARY
Wright's exit good sign for program
POLICE
BY KAYVON SARRAF
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
KSARRAF@KANSAN.COM
Here is the cycle we will begin to see with talented players: they come in as freshmen and, barring an Oden- or Durant-like performance, show flashes of brilliance and yet struggle at times. Then, as sophomores, they take their game to the next level and show that they can be all-conference performers and lead a team to the Final Four. After their sophomore year, they leave for the draft and the next batch of players arrive.
While some Kansas fans may look at Julian Wright's early entry to the NBA draft as disappointing, they need to realize that early departures are a sign of a successful program.
With the NBAs new age limit of 19, freshmen are going to impact teams like never before, as we saw this season with Greg Oden and Kevin Durant. As a result, if a team does not have elite young NBA talent, it is unlikely that it is going to contend for a national championship. Florida was fortunate to get a third year out of its talented group of juniors. Georgetown is likely to lose Jose Green and Roy Hibbert to the draft, as is UCLA with Arron Affaldo, Darren Collison and possibly Josh Shipp.
"This is a moment that I knew would come," Self said. "With this team, I knew it would come. It's not a happy day or a sad day, just a day that if you coach at a place like Kansas, you're going to have to deal with from time to time."
In college basketball, players like Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison do not exist anymore. Rarely will we see a player stay four years, earn his degree and leave a lottery pick in the draft.
Nobody understands this better than Bill Self.
Fortunately for Kansas, more of these types of players are going to come. Players want to go to schools that place players in the NBA. Players like Wright are only going to help Kansas bring in similar talent in the future.
"It's not a totally bad thing because it's been my experience that when you have guys experience success and move on, that's also very attractive to some other guys out

TENNIS
Injuries, losses annoy Kansas Missing players, close defeats complicate season
BY RUSTIN DODD
The Kansas tennis team may have perfected the recipe for an agonizing season — injuries, close losses and blowout losses.
First, No. 1 singles player sophomore Ksenia Bukina was sidelined for good on Jan. 27 after battling a continual injury. Juniors Stephanie Smith and Lauren Hommell joined Bukina on the injured list by missing some time this season.
Second, the "oh-so-close" losses against rival Missouri and Syracuse, and the blowout losses to powerhouses Baylor and Texas. To say this has been a frustrating season on the tennis court might be an understatement.
But coach Amy Hall-Holt doesn't want to word it that way.
"I wouldn't say frustration," Hall-Holt said. "But it's tough when we only have six players, and girls in the lineup are playing and battling injuries."
The lavhawks will match up with
a team that may be able to relate to their struggles. Kansas plays host to in-state rival Kansas State at 2 p.m. today at the Robinson Center courts.
But while Kansas has dropped four straight dual matches to drop to 4-12 and 2-5 in the Big 12 Conference, K-State has won two straight and sits at 4-11 and 2-4 in conference play.
As always, doubles will play a crucial role in deciding which team grabs a victory — Kansas is 0-12 when losing the doubles point and both team possess a potent doubles team. Olga Klimova and Katerina Kudlackova have a 5-1 record playing primarily at the No. 2 doubles position for K-State, while junior Elizaveta Avdeeva and sophomore Edina Horvath lead the Big 12 with six victories at the No. 1 doubles for Kansas.
Kansas leads the all-time series 37-7, but has lost the last two years, including a 6-1 defeat last year in Manhattan.
Although records are thrown out
whenever these two schools meet up, junior Stephanie Smith said the team had a desire to finish strong.
"Everyone left on the schedule is beatable," Smith said. "Yeah, there is a sense of frustration on the team, but everyone is just trying to support each other because of the injuries."
This is not what Hall-Holt anticipated after a 14-11 record a year ago, but despite the long list of setbacks, Hall-Holt has constantly voiced pride in her group of players.
"We have stuck together as a team," Hall-Holt said. "The problems haven't disrupted the team and our ability to go out and compete."
Today's match will be played at the Robinson courts, weather permitting. Otherwise, the match will be moved to First Serve Tennis Center, 5200 Clinton Parkway.

Sampson (1-0) allowed three singles in his fourth major league start, his first this season.
Izturis, who won a Gold Glove in 2004 with the Dodgers, made back-to-back errors in the fourth and fumbled a leadoff grounder to start the fifth.
Houston bunched four straight hits in the first inning to take a 3-0

Weaver (0-1) was dismal in his first outing since pitching eight innings of four-hit ball in the final game of the St. Louis Cardinals' World Series victory over Detroit. He allowed seven runs, seven hits and two walks, throwing 70 pitches in two innings in the Seattle Mariners' first game since a blizzard snowed them out of four straight in Cleveland.

GO ROYALS?
Star college athletes leave lasting impressions on sports fans
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
JEORGENSEN@KANSAN.COM
All this talk about NBA talent and players has had me thinking over the last day or two. I started reminiscing about all the best players I have seen during my time as a student at the University of Kansas.
I thought it would be fun to recapture those memories and rank the best sports players/athletes I've seen since I enrolled in Fall 2003. It should be noted that I never saw Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson play or two-time Olympic gold medalist Jeremy Wariner run for Baylor.
As I started compiling my list, I got a little depressed as I realized the sheer number of Texas Longhorns on this list. But, here it is, the top ten athletes I've seen.
Vince Young, Texas, quarterback: The Longhorns gave the Jayhawks a chance to actually beat these giants on our turf in 2004. With a few minutes left in the game and Kansas with the lead, I was perched on the rail in the front row, waiting for the final horn to blow.
What ensued is now historic. Charles Gordon was called for the ever elusive offensive pass interference and Young did what he is now famous for: he drove the length of the field in less than two minutes and won the game.
He torched the Jayhawks the entire game and then finished them off by tearing their hearts out in the last minute. It was the only time I gave an opponent a standing ovation as he walked off the court or field. He is hands down the best athlete I have seen while in college.
Kevin Durant, Texas, forward:
Although he is the youngest player
I list, he is already one of the most accomplished. He won all six of the men's college basketball Player of the Year awards and is the best basketball player in Longhorn history,
get 20, if not 30, points and be the leading rebounder in the game. I have him pegged for next year's Rookie of the Year in the NBA.
Cat Osterman, Texas, pitcher:
One week, Osterman was pitching for Texas and the next she was pitching for the U.S. Women's Olympic Softball Team. She didn't have a buffer-time where Team USA nursed her to a starting position; she jumped straight into it.
He makes everything, rebounds well, blocks shots and can handle the ball like a guard. No matter how well the defense plays, he's going to
It's a rare moment when a college player is one of the best in not only college, but arguably the world.
Derrick Johnson, Texas, linebacker: I remember watching in the stands and discussing with my friends how this former Longhorn linebacker was around the ball on every tackle.
Knowing how bad the Kansas City Chiefs defense was at the time, I yelled, "Derrick, let the Chiefs draft you," over and over again as he exited the field. He looked over at me, gave me a "hook 'em" and smiled. Six months later he was drafted by the Chiefs. I've been smiling ever since.
Wayne Simien, Kansas, forward: Simien is the best Jayhawk basketball player I've seen in my four years. Everyone could count on him to make his shots and grab the hard rebounds. He always left his heart on the court and always gave the fans a show. He's my all-time favorite Kansas basketball player.
Cedric Benson, Texas, running back: He is the third player from the 2004 Texas-Kansas football
game to make this list. He is one of the best running backs in Texas history and is now starting for the Chicago Bears.
Courtney Paris, Texas, center:
Like Durant, Paris is young and her
talent ceiling is high. There is no
one in NCAA women's basketball
who can stop her.
Nick Fazekas, Nevada, center: He has flown under the radar during his time at Nevada, but there was no missing him when he came to Allen Fieldhouse two years ago. No one could stop him as he led the Wolfpack past the Jayhawks and made me boycott the state of Nevada ever since.
Don Czyz, Kansas, pitcher:
There have been some amazing baseball players who have made their way through Hoglund Ballpark in the last four years, but Czyz was the only one who stood out to me. In 2006 he won the Stopper of the Year award as the best closer in college baseball and was a first team All-American.
Acie Law, Texas A&M, guard:
Law was a Kevin Durant away from Big 12 Player of the Year this year and maybe one of the National Player of the Year awards. I'll always remember him as the best clutch shooter I have ever seen.
Honorable Mentions: Charles Gordon (Kansas cornerback/wide receiver), Bill Whitmoret (Kansas quarterback), Jon Cornish (Kansas running back), Julian Wright (Kansas forward), Brandon Rush (Kansas guard), Keith Langford (Kansas guard), Joey Graham (Oklahoma State forward), Jared Dudley (Boston College forward), LaMarcus Aldridge (Texas forward), Randolph Morris (Kentucky center), Jarrett Jack (Georgia Tech guard).

Kansas City topples Toronto 6-3
Aaron Harris/ ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas City
Royals put end to early season three-game losing streak
Kansas City Royals second baseman Mark Grudzielanek, left, bobbles the ball as Toronto Blue Jays' Aaron Hill slides safely into second base during seventh inning baseball action in Toronto on Tuesday. The Royals beat the Blue Jays 6-3.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO — Alex Gordon showed his power for the first time, and Zack Greinke was the beneficiary.
Gordon hit his first career home run, helping the Kansas City Royals beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-3 Tuesday night to stop a three-game losing streak.
Gordon was hitless in 13 at bats and 1-for-24 this season when the rookie hit a two-run homer in the sixth against Josh Towers (0-1) that boosted Kansas City's lead to 4-1.
Greinke (1-1), who pitched in just three games last season because of depression and social anxiety, allowed one run and six hits in six innings, struck out five and walked none. Joakim Soria pitched two perfect innings for his first career save, ending Toronto's three-game winning streak.
Towers allowed six runs — three earned — and 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings, struck out six and walked
none. Last year, he lost his first nine decisions and finished 2-10 with an 8.42 ERA.
One night after a sellout crowd of 50,125 watched Toronto's home opener, the game drew 22,106 to Rogers Centre.
Mike Sweeney's sacrifice fly put Kansas City ahead in the first. Greinke escaped trouble in the
bottom half after Alex Rios led off with a double and moved to third on a Lyle Overbay's grounder, with Vernon Wells flying out and Frank Thomas taking a called third strike.
David DeJesus tripled in the third and scored on Mark Grudzianalek's single, but Alex Rios had a two-out RBI single in the fifth.
Gordon homered after Mike Sweeney reached on a throwing error by third baseman Troy Glaus, and Tony Pena Jr. hit a run-scoring triple that chased Towers. DeJesus, who had three hits, add an RBI single.
Gregg Zaun hit a two-run pinch-hit homer in the seventh off Joel Peralta.
Cardinals rally best Pirates in 12th
Brad Thompson (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings for the victory before Jason Isringhausen came on for his third save in as many opportunities and second in as many days in Pittsburgh.
BY ALAN ROBINSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
Schumaker was credited with a sacrifice fly, even though it appeared Bennett would have been out if Paulino held onto the ball.
PITTSBURGH — Gary Bennett successfully gambled by running on a short fly ball to score the winning run in the 12th inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals rallied from two runs down in the ninth to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 on Tuesday night.
The Cardinals did nothing against Tom Gorzelanny who pitched seven shutout innings in his second effective start in a row, or reliever Matt Cappus in the eighth. But the Pirates
Bennett singled and Aaron Miles doubled with one out in the 12th against John Wassin (0-1), the fifth Pirates pitcher. Yadier Molina was intentionally walked to load the bases and set up the double-play opportunity. But Skip Schumaker lifted a fly ball to left fielder Jason Bay, whose throw to the plate beat Bennett only to have catcher Ronny Paulino drop the ball.
After David Eckstein singled and Chris Duncan walked, Albert Pujols missed a home run by several feet on a long fly ball that Bay tracked down several feet from the wall. The drive was deep enough that both runners tagged up, allowing last-minute lineup replacement Scott Spiezio to tie it with a two-run single to right.
The left-handed Gorzelanny struck out five, walked none and retired 12 of the final 13 batters he faced. Gorzelanny had to be sharp against Cardinals replacement starter Scott Keisler, who limited the Pirates to two runs in six innings in his first major league start since 2005 with Cincinnati.

BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Keisler couldn't have been much better in replacing the injured Chris Carpenter until Jose Bautista hit a one-out homer in the fifth for the game's first run.
The Cardinals have had trouble scoring runs — they have been held to three runs or fewer in all but two of their eight games — but have made up for it with productive starting pitching. Their starters had thrown 21 consecutive scoreless innings until Bautista drove a 1-1 pitch by Keisler over the center field wall.
Aside from the lack of individual awards, the event was different in another way as well. It was held at the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive, where a meal was served in the large banquet room. In previous years, the event was held in an auditorium and did not include food.

"I want all my guys to become head coaches." Self said.
When Self took the microphone, he first recognized the assistant coaches. Tim Jankovich was not on hand, as he was preparing for his new job at Southern Illinois, a job for which Self said the former assistant coach was well-suited.
An especially loud ovation went to the man who will take Jankovich's place, former Jayhawk great Danny Manning. Self said that a lot of NBA greats wouldn't do the dirty work that Manning did on a daily basis when he worked with the team.
Self made his announcement that none would be given.

He cited several examples of awards that would have to be split between several players. He said that an academic award would have to be split between Sasha Kaun, a computer science major, and Matt Kleinmann, an architecture major. Both are on pace to graduate a semester early and are maintaining a grade point average well above 3.0.

"I don't think I've ever enjoyed being around a group of guys and a staff more than I have this year," he said.
A free-throw award would go to sophomore guard Mario Chalmers, but freshman guard Sherron Collins finished just one free-throw away from tying.
Self said that if a most valuable player award was given, it would be shared among sophomores Rush, Chalmers and Julian Wright.
The evening ended with fans and boosters being cleared out of the room, giving the players the opportunity to enjoy each other's company for the remainder of the evening. It was something Self was looking forward to.

The last team to win a national championship without an early entry lottery pick was Michigan State in 2000, led by seniors Mateen Cleaves and Morris Peterson. Kansas nearly pulled off the feat in 2003 with Hinrich and Collison. If a player stays in college for four years, he likely is not good enough to lead a team to a national championship.

>> NFL
League increases stakes for off-field behavior
BY DAVE GOLDBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Roger Goodell cracked down Tuesday on the player misconstruet his first seven months as NFL commissioner. He suspended Tennessee's Adam "Pacman" Jones for the 2007 season and Cincinnati's Chris Henry for eight games.
"It is a privilege to represent the NFL, not a right." Goodell said in a statement announc-
NFL
ment announcing the suspensions. "These players and all members of our league have to make the right choices and decisions in their conduct on a consistent basis."
Jones
Jones' off-field conduct has
included 10 instances in which he was interviewed by police. The most recent took place during the NBA All-Star weekend in Las Vegas. Police there recommended felony
and misdemeanor charges against Jones after a fight and shooting at a strip club paralyzed one man.
His suspension could be longer or shorter depending on developments in that case, an official with knowledge of the details of the suspension said. He requested anonymity because the Las Vegas case is still pending.
The NFL suspension could be as short as 10 games, if Jones meets the conditions set by the NFL and is cleared in a pending case in Georgia.
as well as the Las Vegas case, in which he has yet to be charged.
Henry was arrested four times in a 14-month span, which resulted in two benchings by coach Marvin Lewis and a two-game league suspension. He was one of nine Bengals arrested in nine months.
Goodell handed down the suspensions under the NFL's existing conduct policy and also announced a new broader policy that will allow longer fines and suspensions for players and potential penalties against teams.
"While we regret the circumstances that called for it, it's good for both Chris and the Bengals to have the matter resolved," Lewis said. "Our team will move forward, and now it is up to Chris to acquire a more mature understanding of his responsibilities as a player for the Bengals and a representative of the NFL."
The Titans and Bengals said they supported the suspensions.
Jones' attorney, Manny Arora, was in a meeting and did not immediately return a message left by the Associated Press.
Reached at her Georgia home, Jones' mother, Deborah Jones, said: "I just pray that this can be changed. This is not fair for him. It's just not fair."
Goodell, who replaced the retired Paul Tagliabue last September, has spent much of his first season answering questions about the arrests of players. Last December, he called Mike Brown, president of the Cincinnati team, and asked if he could do anything to help.
LIVINGSTON
Goodell and Gene Upshaw, executive director of the NFL Players Association, met with a group of players in February and again last week and agreed the league needed a stronger disciplinary policy.
"It is important that the NFL be represented consistently by outstanding people as well as great football players, coaches and staff."
Henry
Players agreed.
Goodell said in the new policy announcement, which had the strong support of Upshaw and the union.
Houshmandzadeh, one of the players at the February meeting. "It was going on for an extended period of time. Each day, each week, something was happening."
"You would think it's necessary just because of the negative publicity the NFL is beginning to receive because of what's happening," said Henry's teammate, T.J.
Jones, the sixth overall pick in the 2005 draft, starred on the field
but had nothing but trouble off it during two seasons with the Titans. He had four touchdowns last season, three on punt returns and one from one of four interceptions.
He could be reinstated before season's end if he adheres to conditions set by the NFL that include no further involvement with law enforcement; counseling, education and treatment under league and court-ordered programs; follows restrictions on his activities agreed to with the Titans; and a community-service program submitted to the league for review and approval.
"We appreciate the Commissioner's thoughtful decision today and the discipline plan imposed on Adam Jones," Titans owner Bud Adams said. "We respect this decision and are confident this is in the best interest of the league and the team. We are hopeful that it will achieve the goals of disciplining the player and eventually enabling him to return to the field of play. Our goals for Jones are consistent with the league's in that regard."
NCAA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Rutgers denounces radio host, agrees to meet
BY REBECCA SANTANA ASSOCIATED PRESS
PISCATAWAY, N.J. — The Rutgers administration and women's basketball team blasted Don Imus' "despicable" remarks Tuesday, but stopped short of saying he should be fired and agreed to meet with the embattled radio host.
Starting Monday, Imus will be suspended for two weeks for calling
the Rutgers players "nappy-headed hos"
Rutgers' athletic director, Robert E. Mulcahey III, thought a meeting with Imus offered the team's players a chance to listen to him and hear what he has to say. Several players said they wanted to ask the host why he would make such thoughtless statements.
"We all agreed the meeting with Mr. Mus will help," Essence Carson,
a member of the team that lost the NCAA women's championship game to Tennessee last week, said. "We do hope to get something accomplished during this meeting."

She said it's not about the players "as black or nappy-headed. It's about us as a people. When there is not equality for all, or when there has been denied equality for one, there has been denied equality for all."
She further said: "While they worked hard in the classroom and accomplished so much and used their gifts and talents, you know, to bring the smiles and the pride within this state in so many people, we

"That's some nappy-headed hos there, I'm going to tell you that," Imus said.
Imus started the firestorm after the Rutgers team, which includes eight African-American women, lost the championship game. He was speaking with producer Bernard McGuirk and said "that's some rough girls from Rutgers. Man, they got tattoos..."
It also came in a different public atmosphere following the Michael Richards and Mel Gibson incidents, said Eric Deggans, columnist for the

The Rev. Al Sharpton also appeared on "Today" and called the suspension "not nearly enough. I think it is too little, too late." He said presidential candidates and other politicians should refrain from going on Imus' show in the future.

"Our future relationship with Imus is contingent on his ability to live up to his word," the network said late Monday.
Imus isn't the most popular radio talk-show host — the trade publication Talkers ranks him the 14th-most influential — but his audience is heavy on the political and media elite that advertisers pay a premium to reach. Authors, journalists and politicians are frequent guests — and targets for insults. He has urged critics to recognize that his show is a comedy that spreads insults broadly.

Microfibers replace wool
Baseball hats receive overdue upgrade, high-tech fabric
BY JOSH L. DICKEY ASSOCIATED PRESS
MLB
Pity the wool baseball cap.
It didn't stand a chance, utterly alone as it was, with vanquished woolen sportswear littering the playing fields all around it: football
jerseys, hockey sweaters, ski jackets, golf pants and the like.
Each had long ago succumbed to a tide of manmade textiles boasting superlative stretliness, stain resistance, insulation, water repellency
"It was something we determined a while ago: that we needed to keep up with what was going on in the sports apparel world."
— innovations that spawned revolutions in sports fashion and fabric terminology alike. (Doubhtful that Honus Wagner ever pondered the "breatheability" and "wicking" abilities of his famously rumpled lid.)
JOHN DEWAAL New Era VP of brand communications
So it shouldn't have surprised anyone this winter when Major League Baseball quietly announced it was tossing the wool cap for good. New Era Cap Co., the Buffalo, N.Y.-based manufacturer of baseball's signature vestment for decades, declared that a new polyester-blend model would debut on opening day.
This was never a fair fight, really. How could simple old wool compete with fabric named Gore-Tex or Lyrca, Coolmax or Kevlar?
Still, wool and baseball were interwoven some 150-odd years, from the day the New York Knickerbockers switched from straw to merino until last Oct. 27, when a summer's toil could be traced in the salt-stained caps of the St. Louis Cardinals as they celebrated winning the World Series. But with stain-resistant polyester, those saline smudges will besmirch baseball no longer.
The switch went off with nothing close to the griping that accompanied the NBAs ill-fated introduction of a microfiber basketball this season.
Perhaps that's because New Era put its product through a two-year, off-field testing period that included input from dozens of players. In fact, the cap was conceived, designed and implemented with
a sole purpose
— to perform
better on the
diamond, said
John DeWaal,
vice president
of brand communications
for New Era.
"It was something we determined a while ago: that
we needed to keep up with what was going on in the sports apparel world," DeWaal said. "We needed that kind of moisture management and performance in our caps."
New Era and MLB argue that the new caps do a better job of wicking sweat from the brim and distributing it to the crown, where surface-
ness springs from fans' desire to don the exact same model — stitch for stitch — as their heroes on the diamond. From a business perspective, the immediate impact of the change may only be felt by New Era's wool suppliers; the larger consequence for wool producers comes in the form of perception.
"It's significant in the visibility that it's had," said Rita Samuelson, marketing director for the American Wool Council, a nonprofit association representing U.S. sheep ranchers.
"It was one of the last places in sports where wool was used, and so many people are now hearing that wool is being replaced by high-performance fiber.
Samuelson knows of at least one wool producer in Canada that may have to shutter its mill with the decreased demand. And the change has done little to help wool's reputation as a scratchy, old-fashioned fiber that's ill suited for our daily duds.
While New Era will continue to make some of its "fashion" caps out of wool, the better part of its busi-
as a fashion statement, declaration of territorial loyalty, baldness camouflage, bad hair day remedy, and occasional grooming substitute it's remarkable how little resistance New Era met when announcing what amounted to a sartorial sea change.
It's a shame, she says, because no matter how advanced manmade
"It was one of the last places in sports where wool was used."

Considering the authentic baseball cap's work day role in the uniform of the modern American man

gray underbill to black in both places. And the price has gone up, from $29 suggested retail to $32.
"The way we make the new cap is no less expensive by any means," he said.
"It's more expensive, between the sweatband, the visorboard and all parts of the system that have changed and become performance-enhanced."
Bonds' former trainer testifies
》 STEROID HEARINGS
SAN FRANCISCO — A former San Francisco Giants trainer testified before the federal grand jury looked into steroid use in sports, a sign the investigation of Barry Bonds was not derailed by the firing of the investigation's top prosecutor.
Mark Letendre told The Associated Press on Tuesday he testified for about an hour Feb. 14 and was asked about Bonds' size and confirmed the slugger hurt his elbow in 1999.
Bonds' former girlfriend Kimberly Bell has told an earlier grand jury that Bonds blamed the 1999 elbow injury on steroid use. Bonds missed seven weeks that season after undergoing surgery to remove a bone spur and repair a damaged tendon in his left arm.
"It was all pretty vanilla," Letendre said. "I'm pretty far removed from
The 50-year-old Lentrede of Scottsdale, Ariz., served as the team's head trainer until after the 1999 season, when he was appointed director of Major League Baseball's umpire medical services.
"There is absolutely no doubt that the U.S. attorney is still running a grand jury and still taking evidence that involves Bonds," said Michael Rains, the lawyer for Bonds. "There is still an active effort to indict Barry."
BY PAUL ELIAS ASSOCIATED PRESS
Since U.S. Attorney Kevin Ryan was fired in December, speculation has mounted that the Justice
Department would quietly extinguish the long-running investigation into Bonds.
it."
Letendre's testimony came the day before Ryan's final day on the job, but a temporary successor had already been named in court documents.
U. S. Attorney Scott Schools refused to comment Tuesday on Letendre's remarks.

Cardinals pitcher bides his time
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS - In the St. Louis Cardinals' first three victories this season, Ryan Franklin was responsible for eight of the nine outs in the eighth inning.
That was supposed to be Josh Kinney's job. Instead, he's at the start of a long rehab trail after undergoing reconstructive elbow surgery during spring training.
"The staying sane part, that's the key right there," Kinney said. "The physical part doesn't scare me. It's not playing baseball for a year."
The timing is devastating. Kinney,28, traveled the back roads to the major leagues, beginning his career with the River City Rascals of the Independent League in the distant St. Louis suburbs.
He finally made it to the major leagues in July 2006, promptly allowing a home run ball on

the first pitch he threw to Ryan Langerhans of the Atlanta Braves, and after 10 games he was sent back to Triple-A Memphis. But by the end of the season he had fully earned the team's trust.

When the right-hander struggled early in spring training before the injury was diagnosed, giving
"At this stage of the game you have to let that new ligament tighten up and let everything settle back down to normal, get the inflammation out," he said. "You can see it's getting better every day."
The brace is designed to prevent Kinney from fully straightening his arm.
On opening day in St. Louis, while teammates were on the field getting ready for a big day of festivities, Kinney sat in street clothes at his locker stall. He wore a large brace on his right arm and awaited an appointment with team medical personnel.
"That's when this game can be really cruel," La Russa said. "He really hasn't made any money yet."

The surgery on March 13 revealed the ligament had torn off the bone. The cast was removed four days before the season opener from an operation that had no complications.
For now he's like the fans that pack Busch Stadium, just an observer.
Kinney said. "Everything went real smooth, pretty fast, with no troubles."
"The procedure went great,"
St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Josh Kinney won't play this year. Kinney, who looked to be a key figure in the 2007 Cardinals bullpen, is out for the season after undergoing reconstructive elbow surgery during baseball spring training.
"It's going to be a good opportunity to speak with some other people about this type of thing."
Next spring training, he wants to be back in the mix.
Kinney said he'll do anything to make it back. At times patience is required.

Masters boasts highest scores in 50 years
BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods called it the hardest Masters he had ever seen, and the numbers back him up.
There were twice as many bogeys as birdies, and that doesn't account for the 230 double bogeys or worse. There were only 34 rounds under par all week. Perhaps the most surreal sight at Augusta National was the large leaderboard behind the 18th hole awash in green numbers,
Zach Johnson finished at 289 matching the Masters record for the highest winning score.
And we're only getting started.
Johnson's score was the highest to win a major since Paul Lawrie shot 290 and won a playoff in the '99 British Open at Carnoustie, long considered the toughest links in the world, known in British tabloids as "Car-nastv"
That's where these guys are heads ed this summer.
In between is a trip to Oakmont.
The last time the U.S. Open went there, Ernie Els shot 74 in a playoff and still won.
By the time they get to the PGA Championship, Southern Hills might seem like Indian Wells.
Majors are supposed to be hard.
And yes, that includes Augusta National.
Along with being the highest-scoring Masters in more than 50 years, it also was one of the most quiet Masters in recent memory.
The sound at Augusta National is as inherent as the sights. It was
muted for much of the week as the world's best players hung on for dear life on a bone-dry course, in swirling wind, in weather more suited for a Green Bay Packers game in late October and on greens so firm it was difficult to get the ball close for birdie, much less par.
The degree of difficulty was indicative not only by the scores, but by the starting times Sunday. The last group teed off at 2:15 p.m., 45 minutes earlier than usual because it was taking so long to putt out.
Does all this mean the Masters was a disaster?

Hardlv.
Augusta National is known for its explosive nature, particularly on the back nine on Sunday. It was a double eagle by Gene Sarazen on the 15th hole in 1935 that put this tournament on the map. It was a 30 on the back nine by Jack Nicklaus in 1986 that for many remains the most famous Sunday in Masters history. Phil Mickelson won his first Masters with five birdies over the final seven holes.
Sometimes, conditions don't allow for such fireworks.
That alone doesn't make the Masters any less memorable.
An hour before the final round, Jim Nantz and CBS Sports showed a colorized broadcast of the 1960 Masters won by Arnold Palmer. The winning score was 282. Palmer
didn't birdie either of the par 5s on the back nine, but rallied to win with a 30-foot birdie on the 17th and a 6-iron to about 6 feet for birdie on the 18th.
What makes the Masters so special among the four majors is returning year after year to Augusta National. It might be longer. Sometimes it's sloppy after a week of rain. Sometimes the dogwoods and azaleas blaze a little brighter.
It's still the Masters.
Golf fans know every hole on the back nine at Augusta National, and since TV coverage was expanded in 2002, they are starting to know every hole on the front. Some years it will be easier to make birdie, some years it will be tough to make par.
This was the latter.
The last time no one broke par at the Masters was in 1966, when Nicklaus, Tommy Jacobs and Gay Brewer finished at even-par 288. Nicklaus won the next day in an 18-hole playoff, and he wrote about the conditions in his autobiography.
It would be easy to suggest that Augusta National ruined its major by adding nearly a quarter-mile of length since 2001, but that would be measuring the Masters based only on this year.
He said a cold, dry winter had left the fairways sparse. The club decided not to mow too short, which led to flier lies from the fairway.

Mark Turgeon takes the stage as Texas A&M's new basketball coach on Tuesday in College Station, Texas, replacing coach Billy Gillispe five days after Gillisle left for Kentucky. Turgeon comes from Wichita State, where he led the Shockers to a 17-14 record in the Missouri Valley Conference in 2007.
Former Wichita State coach joins Big 12 Conference Tuesday
BY KRISTIE RIEKEN ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Mark Turgeon was introduced as Texas A&M's basketball coach Tuesday, just five days after Billy Gillisie left for Kentucky.
Turgeon comes to Texas A&M from Wichita State, where he led the Shockers in 2007 to a 17-14 record overall and 8-10 in the Missouri Valley Conference.
He was introduced at a news conference in a conference room above Reed Arena before being welcomed by about 2,000 A&M fans at a pep rally style event in the arena. The band played and fans whooped and hollered and some displayed signs that said things such as "Howdy" and "Welcome Turge, Gig Em."
Texas A&M athletic director Bill Byrne presented Turgeon with a maroon jacket before raving about his new coach.
"When we lost Billy last week we were very disappointed because he had worked so hard to take us to places we've never been at Texas A&M," Byrne said. "When he left, our goal was to get somebody to continue to lead us there and take us beyond that. That's why we started looking at Mark."
He takes over a team that Gillspie took from an 0-16 Big 12 record to its first trip to the NCAA tournament round of 16 since 1980 in three seasons. Texas A&M finished with a school-record 27 victories and was ranked in the top 10 for most of the season.
Turgeon and Byrne have known each other since 1990. Turgeon said the athletic director was key in his decision to take the job.
"I felt like it was a great opportunity for me," Turgeon said. "I was at a special place and a place that was very good to me and it was going to take a special place and a special
man and a place where I knew we could be successful to leave. I've had opportunities to leave before and nothing excited me the way A&M excited me."
Turgeon was 128-90 in seven seasons at Wichita State. He led the Shockers to three consecutive 20+ win seasons from 2004-2006, culminating with a trip to the round of 16 in the 2006 NCAA tournament.
Turgeon met with players at Wichita State on Monday night after taking the Aggies job, and he became emotional when discussing that meeting.
"It's hard and I'm here today because of those players and I told them that," he said, choking back tears. "I hope they're not as mad at me as they were last night."
Turgeon said he would be contacting the Aggie recruits Tuesday afternoon and will work to keep them committed to the school.

Authorities investigate claim Eight California community college players suspended

SAN JOSE, Calif. Authorities are investigating a woman's claim that she was sexually assaulted in December by community college baseball players at a house where police said a 17-year-old girl was raped during a party in March.
The team canceled three games after the teen's allegations surfaced last month but has resumed playing.
Sgt. Ed Wise, spokesman for the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office, confirmed the new claim. He also said investigators took DNA samples from an unspecified number of partygoers in March, including some De Anza College players, but he declined further comment.
Authorities began investigating the athletes and some other students at the community college in Cupertino, a quiet San Jose suburb, after the teenager claimed she was raped last month at a player's birth-

Larry Birkhead, left, and Howard K. Stern shake hands in front of the court after a paternity hearing Tuesday in Nassau, Bahamas. DNA analysis released during the hearing has proven that Anna Nicole Smith's former boyfriend Larry Birkhead is the father of her infant daughter, an expert in genetic evidence said Tuesday.
DNA test reveals baby's father
BY JESSICA ROBERTSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASSAU, Bahamas — Larry Birkhead is the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby, according to DNA tests, and the late reality TV star's former boyfriend emerged from a court hearing Tuesday to proclaim that his daughter would soon be home.
"I told you so!" Birkhead said as he jubilantly announced the DNA results after the closed hearing. Then he hugged his rival, Howard K. Stern. Smith's lawyer-turned-companion has been caring for baby Dannielynn since her sudden death in February.
The hearing left unresolved who will have custody of the girl. Another custody hearing was scheduled for Friday.
Stern said he would not fight for custody.
"I'm obviously very disappointed but my feelings toward Daniellynn have not changed." Stern said, adding Birkhead can come to his Bahamas home to visit Daniellynn at any time.
A joyous Birkhead said, "My baby's going to be coming home pretty soon"
Baird, who analyzed the results of a March 21 DNA test, announced the results outside court. "Essentially, he's the biological father," Baird said.

PENSACOLA, Fla. — The founder of the "Girls Gone Wild" video empire was taken into custody by federal marshals early Tuesday to face a contempt of court citation

neys continue to work toward a settlement," Ronn Torossian, a Francis spokesman, said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press.
Francis had said Thursday he would settle the case to avoid jail time.
Francis, 34, makes an estimated $29 million a year from videos of young women baring their breasts and posing in other sexually provocative situations.
He drew the contempt citation during negotiations in a civil lawsuit brought by seven women who were underage when they were filmed by his company on Panama City Beach during spring break in 2003.
Lawyers for the women told U.S. District Judge Richard Smoak that Francis became enraged during the settlement talks, shouting obscenities at the lawyers and threatening to "bury them." Smoak ordered Francis to settle the case or go to jail for his behavior. Negotiations continued with the help of a mediator, but broke down Thursday, and Smoak issued a contempt of court warrant.

NBA DRAFT
Durant leaves Longhorns
Player of the Year puts college behind him for pro career
BY JIM VERTUNO ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas — Kevin Durant is done with college.
Durant, an 18-year-old Texas freshman and The Associated Press Player of the Year, said Tuesday he was leaving the Longhorns to enter the NBA draft.
"I enjoyed my year here at Texas," Durant said in a statement released before his news conference. "All the fans and everyone here at Texas made me feel right at home, considering I was so far from home. I will always be a Longhorn and never forget what the people of Texas have done for me."
After an All-American season in which he swept the major player of the year awards, few expected
Durant to play another season in college.
Now the question is whether he'll be the first pick of the June 28 draft. Durant and Ohio State's freshman center Greg Oden — who has not yet said if he'll leave college — are considered the likely first two picks.
"He made history," Texas coach Rick Barnes said Monday night at the team banquet. "No one's done what he did this year. He swept every major award as a freshman. It's a year we may not ever see again by anybody. It's remarkable."
Players have until April 29 to declare for the June 28 draft in New York.
Durant, the Big 12 player and freshman of the year, shot 47 percent from the field. 40 percent from three-point range and 82 percent
from the foul line. He averaged 36 minutes and also led the Longhorns in steals and blocks. He had 20 double-doubles and scored at least 30 points a Big 12-record 11 times.
He averaged 25.8 points and 11.1 rebounds - one of three players in the country to average more than 20 points and 10 rebounds.
He led Texas, which started four freshmen, to a third-place finish in the Big 12 and to the second round of the NCAA tournament, where the Longhorns lost to Southern California. The Longhorns finished 25-10.
Durant is the fourth Longhorn in two years to leave early. P.J. Tucker, LaMarcus Aldridge and Daniel Gibson all entered the 2006 draft after leading Texas within a game of the Final Four.

Texas forward Kevin Durant officially announced Tuesday that he would enter the NBA draft. Durant was selected Friday as The Associated Press' college basketball player of the year, the first freshman to receive the honor.

Crop artist to create stamp replica
AWARENESS
A KU professor and Lawrence crop artist are working together to create a half-acre replica of a Southern dogface butterfly stamp, to catch the public's eye about the increasing loss of habitat for pollinators around the world.
BY DANAE DESHAZER
Purple petunias, yellow mari golds, and other flowers, greenery, and mulch will be used in the design to replicate one of the four stamps the U.S. postal service will issue for the first ever National Pollinator Week, June 24 to 30. National Pollinator Week was issued by the U.S. Senate with collaboration with The North American Pollinator Protection Campaign and The Coevolution Institute.

sage out to the public — that pollinators are important and we have to recognize their value." Chip Taylor, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, said.
Taylor is working with Stan Herd, Lawrence crop artist, to create the image.
Birds, beetles, bats, flies, butterflies, bees, and thousands of species
are called pollinators. These species are responsible for the reproduction of plants and flowers by the transfer of pollen. About 80 percent of vegetation on the planet requires pollination to exist.
Six thousand acres of farms, ranches and undeveloped forest land is being converted to shopping malls and housing developments each day, said Taylor.
That results in 2.2 million acres a year.
"You can't have your cake and eat it too," Taylor said. "If you want to get the services from these organisms, then we're going to have to provide the support for them."
Herd, Lawrence crop artist, said he would start growing his favorite vegetable, squash, to be used in the

Dangerous dog debate continues

His leg amputated as a result of the damage done, Dice now lingers a bit behind O'Neal's other dogs, B.J. and Blackjack when the three play inside the fence. Besides a four-inch scar where the leg used to be, O'Neal said his pet has remained the same dog it was

"Same old dog," O'Neal said of his dalmation-boxer-pit bull mix. "You stand over there and see him from the side, you wouldn't ever know anything happened."
According to the police report, what happened on March 28 outside O'Neal's North Lawrence home was a response to two dogs running loose. One of the dogs was Dice, and the other was neighbor Kathy

Q&A with
with
Professor Jill Kuhnheim
D. J. MORRIS
IN WHAT DEPARTMENT DO YOU TEACH? Spanish and Portuguese
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO TEACH AT THE UNIVERSITY? My
department has an excellent reputation, and I knew some faculty here before I came. I came to KU primarily because my partner and I needed jobs at the same institution
and KU seemed to offer the most for both of us. There are always compromises.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM? I love hiking, particularly in the mountains, but when I am around town I like to run, walk the dog and baby, see films, and garden.
WHERE DID YOU ATTEND COLLEGE? Reed College, Portland, Oregon.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT LAWRENCE? I like the people in Lawrence who are generally very friendly. I enjoy running into to people I know downtown.
WHAT'S SOMETHING YOUR STUDENTS DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU? There is a lot my students don't know about me I spent nine months in East Africa during college, and I also spent time in Mexico and South America
wide here. I would love to be a jazz singer or a cartoonist, but don't have the skills for these. Sometimes I think of a position that would allow me to use my skills in a more hands-on way — medical translation or working for a non-governmental organization.
IF YOU HAD ANY OTHER CAREER, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY? I have a whole list of alternative careers, but the difference between fantasy and possibility is
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE
FOOD? I love spicy food — Thai
red curries, that kind of thing.
IF YOU COULD LIVE ANY-WHERE ELSE WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE? I love the Pacific Northwest, but right now, any of the states that are less repressive for gay people and gay rights: Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, Vermont. There are states where people have voted to embrace diversity and equal rights for all of their residents.
WHAT WAS THE BEST CLASS YOU TOOK IN COLLEGE? Several of my literature classes come out ahead here; probably the one on allegory as we read works from different cultures with some theoretical texts to enlighten our readings.

odd news
Groom rescues his mother from house fire
MARTINSVILLE, Va. — As his bride-to-be's house went up in flames hours before their wedding, Rocky Nelson got his priorities in order.
Rescue his mother from the blaze. And rescue his tuxedo.
Lisa Nelson laughed while recalling the image of her fiance, standing barefoot in the street in his boxes and clutching the tux like it was his baby.
"He is the bravest man I've ever seen in my life," she said.
Fortunately, she had left her wedding gown at the church.
The couple, who've been together five years, married Saturday at the Church of God of Prophecy in Ridgeway, 12 hours after the fire.
Although some might have considered the blaze a bad omen, the fire "was our sign to go through with it," Nelson said.

Pier 1 Imports reverts decision to close
After liquidating merchandise, store opts to keep its doors open
Pier 1 imports
Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN
Pier 1 imports, 3211 Iowa St., advertised it would be going out of business this month. Later, the corporate office decided to keep the Lawrence location open.
BY MATT ERICKSON
Two weeks ago banners outside of Pier I Imports, 3211 Iowa St., announced that the store was closing. But now, a sign in the window says "Now accepting applications."
Earlier this year, the store's employees heard from the Pier 1 corporate office that the store would close on April 15. But at the beginning of this month, the employees heard a different message; the store would remain open.
Now, after the store sold nearly all its merchandise, and even many of its shelves and light fixtures, and many of its employees found new jobs, the store must essentially start anew.
Kristen Byington, Lawrence senior, has worked at Pier 1 since 2003. She said the store would start
re-stocking on Friday.
"Pretty much right now, the back half of the store is completely empty," she said. "We do have some of the shelves still up."
Byington, an assistant manager,
said all but three or four of the
store's employees had left or would
leave soon. She said that after she
heard the store would be closing, she
decided she wanted to use the summer to look for a full-time job after graduating. Now she will leave Pier 1 at the end of the month.
She said both employees and customers were surprised by the news that the store would stay open.
"Business has been pretty slow because a lot of people thought that we were closing," Byington said.

KENNEDY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
he chose to pursue safeguarding the environment
He was also critical of President Bushs administration, saying that in seven years the Bush administration has been responsible for a large number of environmental problems.
"This is the worst environmental White House we've had in all of history, bar none," Kennedy said.
He said in 1988, President Reagan's administration abolished the Fairness Doctrine which required U.S. broadcasters to report news of public importance, devote time to all sides of political opinion and promote local control of news.
Because of that abolishment, Kennedy said the U.S. public hasn't received adequate information about issues like global warming.
"We know more about Kate and Tom than we do global warming," he said.
He said corporations that have close ties to the government have also snuffed out environmental issues because the issues could keep the companies from making larger profits.
"Polluters make themselves rich
David Burchfield, Shawne sophomore, asked Kennedy a question at the end of the lecture about a case Kennedy was involved with in Ecuador.
The tribe asked for help from the Natural Resources council, of which Kennedy was an integral part.
The case would have guaranteed an indigenous Ecuadorian tribe royalties made from oil drilled on their lands by the Conoco company.
The case fell apart and some authors blamed Kennedy for the result.
by making others poor," he said.
Burchfield said when he pressed Kennedy for a clearer understanding of the issue, he didn't get it.
"His explanation was entirely too simple to explain something so complex," Burchfield said.
He said he still enjoyed the lecture but accused Kennedy of changing his stance throughout the speech.
The event was sponsored by Student Union Activities.

Sierra Club sues state of Kansas
Group says coal alternatives disregarded
BY JOE HUNT
The Sierra Club has raised global warming concerns about a planned 1,400 megawatt coal power plant in Holcomb.
The conservation society is suing the state of Kansas for not allowing a full hearing about the construction of the plant.
Bruce Nilles, attorney with The Sierra Club, said it wants a chance to bring in experts to argue why
the plant should not be built in Holcomb,a town in mid-western Kansas.
The power plant is set to be built in two phases next to an existing 360 megawatt coal power plant. Each phase will contain one coal burning unit.
capable of generating 700 megawatts of electricity. One phase of the plant would generate enough electricity to power more than 11.5 million 60 watt light bulbs. Construction for the first phase will begin in early 2008, and construction for the second phase will begin a year later.
"The largest source of global warming in the U.S. is coalburning power plants. We need to start cutting our pollution."
Nilles said the large power plant would set the U.S. back in regards to environmental protection.
"The largest source of global warming in the U.S. is coal-burning power plants," Nilles said. "We need to start cutting our pollution, not increasing it."
make power so expensive people on the lower end of the economic spectrum cannot afford it, that's a problem."
But Steve Miller, senior manager of external affairs at Sunflower Energy, the company backing the power plant, sees the issue as a matter of supply and demand.
One of the ways Sunflower is trying to appease environmentalists is by scaling back the size of the plant, Miller said. The original design called for three phases of construction with three coal burning units instead of two.
"Coal is the least expensive form of electricity," Miller said. "If we

Miller said Sunflower also hopes to make the plant carbon neutral, meaning it would compensate for all
the carbon diox-
the carbon dioxide emissions it produced using a complex chain of systems.

from the plant would go to seven states. The first phase of the plant would serve Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. The second phase would serve Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska and New Mexico.
Robin Pena, city administrator,
said that citizens in Holcomb would
see benefits from the power plant.
Holcomb could see a population increase from the new plant due to the new jobs it would create.
Pena said Sunflower Energy would also contribute significantly to the school district through property taxes.

Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius shakes hands with Senate President Steve Morris after signing a bill allowing expanded gambling in four Kansas counties, while Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley (D-Topeka) applauds Wednesday in Dodge City. The state of Kansas will receive 22 percent of the revenue from the new casinos.
Sebelius signs casino bill
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and other supporters of expanded gambling are celebrating the prospects of Kansas eventually reaping $200 million a year in revenues from legislation that makes it the only state to own resort casinos.
already operating a casino on its reservation in northeast Kansas.
A new law that permits new casinos in four areas and slot machines at dog and horse tracks in three cities, is expected to take effect April 19, despite the threat of a lawsuit from an Indian tribe
Sebelius signed the bill in four communities that could become home to state-owned casino- and hotel complexes designed to attract out-of-state tourists. Her tour started in Wichita and took her to Dodge City, Kansas City and Columbus.
"The governor's been working on trying to get responsible gaming passed in our state for several years," said Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran. "She is proud that it's here."
The casinos and slot machines
would be owned by the Kansas Lottery, though the legislation envisions the state hiring private companies to manage the new enterprises. While the state constitution allows only a state-owned and operated lottery, the Kansas Supreme Court has said the term "lottery" is broad enough to include casino games.
Legally, the new casinos are known as "lottery gaming facilities."
"How many people on the street really know what a lottery gaming facility is?" asked Glenn Thompson, president of the antigambling group Stand Up for Kansas. "It's an invitation for corruption."

Critics question whether the state can delegate day-to-day management decisions. The Prairie Band Potawatomi's chairwoman already has said her tribe will press that issue in court.
The Potawatomi and three other tribes operate casinos under compacts with the state, though the state doesn't receive a share of their profits. Two other tribes, the Sac and Fox and Kickapoo, want to compete for a new Kansas City casino.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. Gov Kathleen Sebelius wants the attorney general to consider filing a lawsuit against a new law she signed Wednesday to expand gambling, rather than waiting for opponents to challenge it.
Sebelius said she plans to meet Thursday with Attorney General Paul Morrison about a potential challenge designed to get a quick ruling from the Kansas Supreme Court to reassure potential casino investors. She said she's confident the new law will withstand court scrutiny.
"If you're asking investors to come forward and make a minimum $225 million investment, they need to know that they're on strong legal grounds, so I think the faster we can get a ruling from the Supreme Court, the better off we'll be," Sebelius said during a bill-signing ceremony at The Woodlands dog track.
Eleven other states have nontribal casinos, but none owns resortcasinos, according to the American Gaming Association.

Concern for coasts increases Link missing between climate changes, rising sea level
BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
Robert Bindschadler says meltwater can create a slippery surface on ice sheets, which can cause sheets to slide into the ocean.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
50 years 60 years 70 years
Robert Bindschadler knows there's a problem with last February's intergovernmental panel on climate change report: The inability to predict the rise in sea level from climate change in the next century.
Bindschadler, chief scientist of NASA's Hydrospheric and Biospheric Sciences Laboratory at Goddard Space Flight Center, spoke Wednesday at Spahr Auditorium at the University of Kansas.
At his lecture, titled "Ice Sheets on the Edge: A Golden Age for Glaciology," he said that understanding ice sheets and rising sea level were urgent to plan for the two billion people in the world who live on coasts.
"We've got an issue that all of a sudden is not just esoteric," he said. "It's something that policy makers and the public really want to know something about."
Bindschadler said the problem with the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, released last February, was that scientists haven't found a way to link rising sea levels with climate changes.
There is currently no model for accurately predicting sea level increase from melting ice sheets, Bindschadler said.He said a number of Greenland and Antarctic ice observations "surprised us and caught us off guard."
Ice shelves typically hold land ice in, but Bindschadler said when they disintegrate into the sea, the flow rate of glaciers that feed the shelves increases by more than 500 percent. This has also led scientists to think sea level will be higher.
"The these are features that take tens of thousands of years to form," he said. "The fact that they leave in a few years, that's not something that happens."
The lecture was hosted by the Center for Remote Sensing of lee Sheets, which has its headquarters at the University of Kansas. The center is funded by a $19 million grant from the National Science Foundation and has partnered with NASA since its beginning.
Prasad Gogineni, director of
CReSIS, said it's important to understand how and why ice sheets are changing to help predict the sea level increase.
Gogineni, who worked with Bindschadler at NASA, contacted him to be involved at the center.
"He speaks very passionately about what is happening to the sheets," he said. "Students have the chance to make a very important contribution to climate change."
Bindschadler said making the issue of climate change more familiar to the public was required to understand it.
Even though a sea level change won't affect Kansas, he said disintegrating sea ice, the planet's "air conditioner," will ultimately heat up Earth.
Melting permafrost, which covers 20 percent of the Northern Hemisphere, will release methane and further warm the planet, he said.
"I think the public wants the information," Bindschader said. "Now, the message is finally getting understood, that every individual's actions affect the planet."

DOGS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Coffey's labrador-hound mix, Sid. When animal control officers were unable to control the two dogs, they called for police backup.
The report said a 10-year old boy approached the area on his bike, and when the officer felt the boy and himself were being threatened by Dice, he pointed his gun at the dog.
The dog initially retreated, but then again approached the two, and the officer fired one shot. Dice retreated to Coffey's front porch, but Sid charged the officer and was shot twice and killed on the scene.
Messages left with Lawrence Animal Control were not returned
While many cities — including Kansas City and Lee's Summit, Mo. — are moving toward pit bull bans, Lawrence currently abides by a "dangerous dog" ordinance. The ordinance, which was passed in 2003, can require owners to keep their dogs in muzzles or in cages if the dogs are cited for "dangerous" behavior. None of the three dogs at the scene had been reported as dangerous before the incident.
Midge Grinstead, executive director of the Lawrence Humane Society, said the ordinance had been successful in limiting the number of dog bites in the county since its inception. She said the ordinance was a more well-rounded approach to controlling a city's animals than breed bans, which focus on single breeds of dog.
"The difference is, we're not waiting for someone to take care of it," Grinstead said. "Our job is to protect the public, and we're doing it."
Grinstead said breed bans cast an unfair opinion of certain dogs, most often pit bulls. She said the media played a role in portraying the animals as vicious.
The police report referred to Dice, Sid and Blackjack as pit bulls. Sid was not a pit bull, and Blackjack, the only purebred pit bull, was inside the gate when officers responded.
"They're not any more aggressive than a German shepherd or a rat terrier. We should be tracking the owner," Grinstead said. "If something happens and it's a pit bull, it's getting reported."
Coffey said no police or animal control units had ever been called to her residence, and that her dogs had never been mentioned as "dangerous". She was troubled by the police's response call being treated as a pit bull attack, when neither of the dogs involved was a pure pit bull.
Currently, the Lawrence Humane Society has 31 animals catalogued as "dangerous", though some of them have been removed from the area or have been euthanized for additional violations.
"Pit bulls are a product of their owners," Coffey said. "Give them the time and attention they need, and they know when you care for them or when you don't. Sid was my puppy in a big dog's body. He was my goofy dog."
Coffey and O'Neal said Lawrence's current laws were doing a fine job, and that neither dog had previously been cited for any type of violent behavior. What they wanted to see, they said, were changes in
the way animals were identified and treated.
Kansan staff writer Erick R. Schmidt can be contacted at eschmldte@ kansan.com.
"Aggressive dog calls need to be labeled as such, not pit bull attacks," Coffey said. "I think the LPD are doing what they've been trained to do, which is fine. They just need more training in breeds so they know what they're responding to."
O'Neal said the message he wanted the public to take from the incident was that his dogs were not violent, and not all pit bulls should be grouped by stereotypes. "I've seen pit bulls that were trained to fight, and it makes me sick," O'Neal said. "But anyone who wants to come see my dogs, I say come see them. They don't know you from Tom, Dick or Harry, but they'll come running up to you like they know you."
O'Neal also said he didn't blame the officer who shot his dog. He said he wondered why it took an animal control units an hour to control a dog that he calls calm and loving.
"I'd definitely like to see that animal control could do its job," O'Neal said.
O'Neal said the animal control officer he spoke to told him when they tried to restrain Dice, Sid would move in and vice versa.
"Why is that so hard? It shouldn't be that difficult to understand," O'Neal said. "Hell, my seven-year old son can understand patterns."

"I grew up on the farm, and the pollinator story was kind of in the back of my mind, but I didn't realize the extent the problem had grown," Herd said.
The image will be located outside Lawrence at Pendleton's Country Market, and will be easily viewed if
Many of the flowers will be provided by Pendleton's, said Karen Pendleton, owner of the farm. Pendleton said she has worked with Herd and Taylor on numerous other projects, so this one will just continue their work together.
Taylor said he hopes to raise all the money and have it completed by June 18, in time for Pollinator Week.
Approximately $25,000 is needed to finish the image, and the money will be raised strictly by donations.

Rapper Snoop Dogg pleaded no contest to gun and drug charges Wednesday. In the 1990s, Snoop Dogg was charged with gun possession, acquired of a murder charge and convicted of cocaine possession.
Snoop Dogg's image takes another hit
BY ANDREW GLAZER ASSOCIATED PRESS
PASADENA, Calif. — A stone-faced Snoop Dogg pleaded no contest to felony gun and drug charges Wednesday.
The 35-year-old rapper, born Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr., agreed to five years' probation and 800 hours of community service. He faced charges of gun possession by a felon and sale or transportation of marijuana.
Snoop Dogg's recent arrests marked the end of a relatively long
trouble-free stretch for the rapper. He has burnished his image recently with appearances in movies and by starting a youth football league.
He was arrested at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank Oct. 26 on suspicion of transporting marijuana. Police later found a gun at his home.
Snoop Dogg also faces separate felony charges stemming from the Sept. 27 discovery of a collapsible baton in his computer bag by a security screener at John Wayne Airport in Orange County.
dangerous weapon. Snoop Dogg has said it was a prop for a video and pleaded not guilty.
Snoop Dogg was convicted in 1990 of cocaine possession and charged with gun possession after a 1993 traffic stop. He pleaded guilty in exchange for three years' probation and a promise to make public-service announcements against violence.
He was acquitted of a murder charge in 1996 after the death of an alleged gang member killed by gunfire from the vehicle in which Snoop Dogg was traveling.

Cross proud to be in Mom Club
》 CELEBRITY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - Marcia Cross, who recently gave birth to twins, is proud to be a member of the Mom Club.
"I wanted to be a member of that club so badly, and now I'm in and it's so much better than I even imagined," says the 45-year-old actress, who plays Bree on ABC's "Desperate Housewives."
"Even before I was 30 I started thinking about (motherhood)." Cross tells People magazine in its April 23 issue, on newsstands Friday. "The years started going by and I was anxious about the clock ticking. Now it seems like it was all meant to be."
Cross gave birth to daughters Eden and Savannah in February — one month before her March 21 due date — hours after being diagnosed with preeclampsia, a disorder
characterized by high blood pressure that threatens both mother and baby, according to the magazine.
"Savannah was born first and then Eden followed within the same minute," says Cross' stockbroker husband, Tom Mahoney. "Then we had a symphony of crying and it was fantastic."
Cross appears with the twins on the cover of magazine, with more photos inside.
The couple, who wedi last June, began dating in 2004 after Cross spotted Mahoney, 49, at a flower store in Los Angeles and left her number with the shopkeeper.
"We did in vitro a week after we got married," she tells the magazine. "We were supposed to go to Greece and Paris and have this fancy honeymoon, and I said, 'Let's stay put and see if we can't give this baby a chance.'"

Barrymore named new CoverGirl face

NEW YORK — Drew Barrymore grew up with tear sheets of models such as Cheryl Tiegs, Rachel Hunter and Christie Brinkley plastered on her bedroom wall like wallpaper. Come January, another young girl can do the same with Barrymore's photo.

The 32-year-old "Charlie's Angels" actress is also a co-creator of the ads, and before any wardrobe or beauty decisions were made at Monday's print shoot, Barrymore said she was consulting on the concept, graphics, lighting and how the photo would be cropped.
"I leave the makeup and product

It's Barrymore's strength that led the company to seek her out.

CUSTODY HEARING Birkhead will not share custody of Dannielynn
NASSAU, Bahamas — Larry Birkhead, the biological father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby, said Wednesday there is no need to share legal custody of the child, a day after DNA tests proved that he is the father.
A hearing is scheduled for Friday at which a judge is expected to discuss who will raise 7-month-old Dannielynn. Howard K. Stern, who
has been caring for the baby since Smith's sudden death in February, said Tuesday he wouldn't fight for custody, but a lawyer for Smith's mother, Virgine Arthur, indicated she might.
Birkhead said Wednesday he did not want another legal fight. Birkhead said he has no intentions of sharing custody of the child.
"It would imply that I unfit as a parent, which I'm not," the Los Angeles photographer said. —Associated Press
VANDALISM
'Office'episode forces Wikipedia to restrict entry
BY ANICK JESDANUN ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — in the NBC series "The Office," the boss Michael Scott turned to Wikipedia for tips on fending off an employee's request for a pay raise. Viewers quickly flocked to the online encyclopedia and added their take to its entry on negotiations.
Administrators at Wikipedia had to limit editing of the entry, most recently late Tuesday, placing it in "semi-protection" mode. That meant users couldn't make changes anonymously or from accounts fewer than four days old — to discourage those drawn to the site specifically because of the broadcast.
The site imposed similar restrictions on the entry twice before, only to see vandalism continue after they were lifted.
Wikipedia is a collaborative reference site where anyone can add, change or even delete entries, regardless of expertise. The thinking is that the collective wisdom results in a better product overall, and members of the community can watch for any vandalism and reverse it.
Fans of Stephen Colbert's Comedy Central show "The Colbert Report" flocked to Wikipedia to alter articles on elephants after he said on the program, "all we need to do is convince a majority of people that some factoid is true — for instance, that Africa has more elephants today than it did 10 years ago."
Changes aren't always noticed and fixed immediately.
In late 2005, prominent journalist John Seigenthaler, the former publisher of the Tennessean newspaper and founding editorial director of USA Today, revealed that a Wikipedia entry that ran for four months had incorrectly named him as a longtime suspect in the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert.

Deal stops lenders from offering perks
BY KAREN MATTHEWS ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The nation's largest student loan provider will stop offering perks like trips to exotic locations to college employees as part of a settlement announced Wednesday in a widening probe of the student loan industry.
SLM Corp., commonly known as Sallie Mae, also agreed to pay $2 million into a fund to educate students and parents about the financial aid industry, and it will adopt a code of conduct created by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who is heading the probe.
Cuomo said the expanding investigation of the $85 billion student loan industry has found numerous arrangements that benefited schools and lenders at the expense of students. Investigators say lenders have provided all-expense-paid trips to exotic locations for college financial aid officers who then directed students to the lenders.
Sallie Mae CEO Tim Fitzpatrick said in a statement Wednesday, "We are please that Attorney General Cuomo has recognized Sallie Mae's leadership in the student loan industry and our ethical market practices
"Our position is very simple," Cuomo said. "Loan decisions should be made in the best interest of the students, and not the best interest of the school."
with students and schools."
Investigators found that many colleges have established "preferred lender" lists and entered into revenue sharing and other financial arrangements with those lenders. Some colleges have "exclusive" preferred lender agreements with the companies.
"There is a spectrum of what
we consider to be deceptive and illegal practices, from financial incentives that go back to the schools to financial incentives to financial aid officers, to perks to financial aid officers, to employees of lenders being
stationed at schools." Cuomo said at his Manhattan office.
"Loan decisions should be made in the best interest of the students, and not in the best interest of the school."
Reston, Va.-based Sallie Mae, which serves almost 10 million borrowers and has relationships with over 5,600 schools, also agreed to stop running call centers or providing other staffing for college financial aid offices and stop paying financial aid officers for serving on advisory boards.
The newly established code of conduct prohibits revenue sharing between lenders and schools, mandates disclosure of relationships between colleges and lenders, sets restrictions on how lenders are chosen for school "preferred lender" lists, and bans gifts or trips to university employees from lenders.
Sallie Mae is the second lender to agree to the code, which is aimed at making the loan process more transparent.
ANDREW CUOMO New York Attorney General
Citigroup Inc.'s Citibank, which
does business at about 3,000 schools, last week agreed to donate $2 million to the same fund as part of a settlement with the attorney general's office.
So far, six schools — the University of Pennsylvania.
New York University, Syracuse University, Fordham University, Long Island University and St. John's University have agreed to reimburse students a total of $3.27 million for inflated loan prices caused by revenue sharing agreements, Cuomo said.
four-year State University of New York campuses and St. Lawrence University, also agreed to abide by the code of conduct.
Within the past week, six financial aid officers at various schools and a federal Department of Education official were placed on leave after Cuomo's office said they received stock, consulting fees or other compensation from Student Loan Xpress. The company was acquired by CIT Group Inc. in 2005.

The size and number of bonuses have grown as officials scrambled to meet the demand for troops on the battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan and reverse shortfalls in the number of National Guard and Reserve soldiers willing to sign on for multiple tours.

Those schools, along with all 29
ting strains on the defense budget, already strapped by the massive costs of waging war and equipping and caring for a modern military.
Besides underscoring the extraordinary steps the Pentagon must take to maintain fighting forces, the rise in costs for re-enlistment incentives is put-
"I believe the whole issue of the affordability of the volunteer force is something we need to look at," said Arnold Punaro, who heads an independent panel established by Congress to study the National Guard and Reserves.
"It helps a lot of guys out," said Sgt. 1st Class Richard Doran, who re-enlisted last late year during his tour in Iraq. "And I think it does sway some of the decisions to stay in when guys are on the fence trying to decide."
The soaring budget for re-enlistment bonuses — particularly for the Guard and Reserves, which have seen the most dramatic cost increases — has prompted some observers to question whether the country can still afford its volunteer force.
The bonuses can range from a few thousand dollars to as much as $150,000 for very senior special forces soldiers who re-enlist for six years. All told, the Army and Marines spent $1.03 billion for re-enlistment payments last year, compared with $174 million in 2003, the year the war in Iraq began.
The Associated Press compiled and analyzed the budget figures from the military services for this story.
BY LOLITA C. BALDOR ASSOCIATED PRESS
Soldier bonuses increased by $1 billion last year
The higher bonuses come as support for the war continues to wane both in Congress and with the American public. That decline is fueling concerns that more soldiers will leave the military under pressure from families who fear the rising death toll and are weary of the lengthy and repeated overseas deployments. The Iraq war has claimed the lives of at least 3,280 U.S. troops to date.

Actor requests nonjury trial for alcohol related accident
NORTH SALEM, N.Y. — Rip Torn wants a nonjury trial on a charge of driving while intoxicated, a county clerk said.
The 76-year-old actor was charged Dec. 4 after a crash in North Salem, a suburb about 60 miles north of New York City. Torn lost control of his sedan and struck a tractor-trailer.
The actor was initially represented by Adam Levy, who is running for Putnam County district attorney and is the son of television"Judge Judy"Scheindlin. But Levy said Torn has hired a new lawyer.
Torn refused a sobriety test and was charged with DWI, state police said.
"We're waiting to confirm that he has new counsel. We did not put the case on the nonjury trial list," Levy told The Journal News.
A call by The Associated Press to
Tom's Los Angeles-based publicist was returned Wednesday.
Levy represented Torn in a 2004 drunken-driving case in New York City in which the actor was acquitted after jurors said the prosecution failed to prove that he was drinking before his fender-bender with a taxi. Police videotape showed Torn berating police officers and refusing a sobriety test. Levy said Torn refused because he was angry.

Dishonesty ruins campus politics
It's little wonder that politics has a negative connotation.
Recent allegations of scandal in student body politics are disheartening, and not just because they allude to dirty campaigning and a lack of cooperation or solidarity in Student Senate. More significantly, such accusations suggest that, through student elections, university students are enabling the very conning politicians that we complain about in "real" politics.
Delta Force filed a case against United Students for defamation, alleging that presidential candidates Hannah Love and Ray Wittlinger had, on numerous occasions, lied about the number of bills they had authored in Student Senate as well as the number of bills authored by John Cross, Delta Force presidential candidate and student senator. Unconfirmed evidence suggests that Love had authored only 18 bills instead of 29 and Wittlinger, a three-year student senator, had authored none. Cross is said to have actually authored four bills instead of one.
On Tuesday, the Hearing Board Committee issued a continuance on this case, which will
not be readdressed until after the election. However, Cayla Witty, election commissioner, suggested that, if the accusations are verified, United Students actions may have been egregious enough to disqualify Love and Wittlinger.
Regardless of the outcome in this case, it is unsettling that university students may be voting for less-than-honest individuals whose actions could be harbingers of shady political careers. It is not the magnitude of the alleged behavior that is disappointing – such behavior could easily be considered petty
but the idea that students with political aspirations could so easily disregard rules, regulations and respect for their fellow candidates.
Indeed, the individuals that students empower in college could be future dazzling, wellspoken politicians whose lies give politics a bad name. In the future, these persons' political capabilities may be more significant than decisions regarding a $1 increase in student fees.

》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Missing peace pole a 'sad thing'
If you walk near Malott and Haworth halls near the Anschutz Science Library you may have noticed a white pole with the phrase "May peace prevail on Earth" engraved in several languages. This commemoration to peace was dedicated in 2006 as a gift to the University of Kansas from a Japanese benefactor, Kazummi Nakayama, a friend of alumnus, Leslie Green Renzelman. Mrs. Nakayama took inspiration to promote peace in a non-sectarian way, according to the Web site www.worldpeace.org. She raised money to make the pole according to specifications that included several languages chosen by the officers of the University's International Students' Association. The Association made this a service project and helped get Student Senate funding for the
installation.
The sad thing is that sometime before March 5, 2007, the pole was evidently broken off and is now gone. Jack Campbell, University police officer, found no evidence to suggest how the damage occurred. It had been there about a week prior before it was noticed missing. Although snow removal equipment was not in use, construction equipment at Malott could have accidentally damaged it. No one has come forward. As one belonging to an organization involved in the dedication, Phi Beta Delta, I encourage anyone to report what they may know about this mishap to University police.

COMMENTARY
Students should watch their mouths
I've effing had it with vulgarity.
I'm not one of those people who thinks every use of a vulgar word is horrible. These words were invented because they have a distinct meaning. Sometimes the exact word you need to use to express your thoughts or feelings is a vulgar word, and that's fine.
But that's not how most people use these words. Instead, they use them as synonyms for "really" or "very". Or they use these words to convey meaning they don't even know themselves. It's the verbal equivalent to puncturing. Why be articulate when you can just throw out the f-word, followed, if necessary, by "Dude?"
I am surprised to find this level of intellectual laziness at a university. How much education is required before your articulation surpasses caveman level?
Part of the power of vulgarity is its infrequency. The person who resorts to vulgarity shows desperation to be understood or believed. When vulgar words compete with articles such as "the" and "a" in your speech frequency, you sound like an idiot.
There will always be those who wish to demonstrate how avant-garde they are by not obeying conventional rules of conversation. I admit that was why I started swearing, in fifth grade. By the time your parents can no longer wash out your mouth with soap, the thrill of swearing should be gone.
Defining yourself in opposition to something gives the thing you supposedly hate complete control of your life. Your "individuality" is really just a sign of your enslav

really thinks this way about it anymore. I think for most it became a habit after fifth grade and they can't stop it. That's why I do it.
If it's a habit now, why don't you break it. You're getting an education presumably to be a more professional, hire-able person. Getting rid of a filthy mouth should go along with a diploma and knowing how to craft a resume.
I have two children who love the University of Kansas more than life itself. My daughter's dream is to have a Jayhawk ont yard. The biggest
statue in our front yard. The biggest
treat my children receive is a visit to campus. But how frequently can that happen when so many overheard conversational snippets contain coarse language? Forgive me for not understanding the nuances between "I was so drunk," and "I was so f-ing drunk." They say the same thing: "I'm an idiot."
Cultural institutions continue to abet this degrading slide of vocabulary. Here at the University, the primary cultural forum, Free for All, continues to print an advisory statement that says obscene comments will not be printed, but lately it seems it can't be a complete Free for All without at least three f-words.
If the point of a college education is to educate, to teach students to think for themselves, why does a stroll across Wescoe Beach sound like a sailors' convention? It's getting to the point where it's ridiculous.

Man ordered to pay $4.18 million
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A former New York University whiz kid who posed as a Turkish heir and persuaded sophisticated investors
to pour millions into a nonexistent hedge fund was sentenced Wednesday to 3 1/2 years in prison.
H a k a n
Yalincak, 22,
who has already
served 20
months, needs
the time in prison to reflect and find his "moral compass," U.S. District Court Judge Janet Bond Arterton said.
"It would appear the majority of his life was spent engaged in fraud," said Arterton, who ordered him to pay $4.18 million in restitution.
Yalircak, who pleaded guilty last year to bank and wire fraud.
"I made significant errors of judgement. If I could go back and take back what I've done I'd do it in a heartbeat."
HAKAN YALINCAK Convicted of fraud
acknowledged in court Wednesday that he did play a pivotal role in the scheme and pledged to work on paying the restitution.
restaurant "I made significant errors of judgment," he said. "If I could
go back and take back what I've done I'd do it in a heartbeat."
His attorney had asked for a sen-
ence of 20 months that he has already spent in prison as well as home confinement and restitution.
Yalincak's mother, Ayferafet Yalincak, 52, was sentenced last month to two years in prison after she pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with the scheme.
The elder Yalincak said in court papers that she had been "bent to the will" of her brilliant college-age son and played a limited role in the fraud.
She purchased, or had purchased for her, a $56,000 Mercedes Benz and a $51,000 diamond ring with investors' funds, and lived in a house with an annual rental fee of $77,000 that came from investors' funds, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors say Hakan Yalincak
charmed his way into the exclusive world of Greenwich high finance by posing as an heir to a wealthy Turkish family, shuttled counterfeit checks across the world and brokered deals with a Kuwaiti financier.
Authorities say the Yalincaks also gave $1.25 million of investor money as a down payment on a $21 million donation to NYU as a way to cast themselves as wealthy philanthropists in hopes of luring more investment.
Hakan Yalincki, 22, leaves U.S. District Court in New Haven, Cann, Wednesday after his sentencing hearing. Yalincki was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison.

Army's tours extended 3 months
WASHINGTON — Stretched thin by four years of war, the Army is adding three months to the standard yearlong tour for all active-duty soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, an unpopular step aimed at maintaining the troop buildup in Baghdad.
BY ROBERT BURNS ASSOCIATED PRESS
The change, announced Wednesday by Defense Secretary Robert Gates, is the latest blow to an all-volunteer Army that has been given ever-shorter periods of rest and retraining at home between overseas deployments.
Rather than continue to shrink the at-home intervals to a point that might compromise soldiers' preparedness for combat, Gates chose to lengthen combat tours to buy time for units newly returned from battle.
"Our forces are stretched, there's no question about that," Gates said.
The extended tours are a price the Army must pay to sustain the troop
buildup that President Bush ordered in January as part of his re-jiggered strategy for stabilizing Baghdad and averting a U.S. defeat. Troop levels are being boosted from 15 brigades to 20 brigades, and in order to keep that up beyond summer the Army faced harsh choices; either send units to Iraq with less than 12 months at home, or extend tours.
Reaction on Capitol Hill to Gates' announcement was harsh.
Rep. Ike Skelton (D-Mo.), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said the longer tours will have a "chilling effect" on recruiting and the Army's ability to keep soldiers from quitting the service.
"We also must not underestimate the enormous negative impact this will have on Army families," Skelton said.
Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, one of only two Republicans who voted to set a timetable for beginning to withdraw troops from Iraq, said Gates' announcement was a "stark admission that the administration's
Carol Frennier, whose husband, Command Sgt. Maj. Steve Frennier, is in Iraq, said she had prepared herself and her family for a longer deployment.
"Last time they said nine months, and it was 14 months," Frennier said.
policies in Iraq are doing permanent damage to our military.
"They kind of told us to expect 12 months to 18 months," she said. "We were already prepared to have them extended." And her family has been through an extended tour of duty before.
Gates said the new policy seeks to ensure that all active-duty Army units get at least 12 months at home between deployments.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who supports the troop buildup, said of the affected soldiers, "They'll be disappointed, but they'll do it."
Indeed, at Fort Hood, Texas, home of the 4th Infantry Division, some Army families took the news in stride.

Jayhawks fall despite No.2 doubles victory
BY RUSTIN DODD
The Kansas tennis team left First Serve Tennis Center disappointed and emotionally drained after their fifth consecutive loss.
Kansas fell to Kansas State 5-2, dropping the Jayhawks to 4-13 and 2-6 in the Big 12.
The loss dropped Avdevee and Horvath to 13-4 in dual play and continued a disturbing trend - Kansas is 0-13 when losing the doubles point.
Kansas' doubles problems continued, despite an 8-6 victory from junior Lauren Hommell and freshman Kunigunda Dorn at No. 2 doubles. The normally reliable No. 1 doubles team of junior Elizaveta Avdeva and sophomore Edina Horvath fell 8-4, and junior Stephanie Smith and sophomore Yuliana Svistin dropped the No. 3 doubles match, 8-4.
"We had a great chance to win the doubles point," said coach Amy Hall-Holt. "I was very impressed with how Kuni and Lauren came out. They had a lot of good energy ... but Eliza and Edina just didn't show up today and they'll be the first to admit that."
The victory from Dorn and Hommell also marked the first time the No.1 or No.2 doubles teams have won since March 10
against Nebraska
"I thought as soon as we won, the No. 1 doubles match would be a lock. They always win," Hommell said.
Kansas was able to draw the duel even at one match apeiece with a three set victory from Dorn at No. 3 singles. Svistun won in No. 5 singles because her opponent was injured. But the good news for Kansas ended there. Avdeeva and Horvath both lost straight set matches almost simultaneously, and Hommell fell at No. 4 singles to clinch the victory for Kansas State. Smith concluded the duel with a loss at No. 6 singles to make the final score 5-2.
Hall-Holt said the month long winless streak has taken a toll.
"They're tired of it," Hall-Holt said, "We just have to keep our heads up, keep our confidence up and keep practicing hard everyday at practice."
Kansas returns to action at home against Colorado on Sunday, and then concludes the regular season the next week with duels against Oklahoma and Texas A&M.

Freshman forward Darrell Arthur and sophomore guard Mario Chalmers received attention from pro scouts this year, but both reaffirmed Tuesday that they'll be back for another sea-
brandon Rush has yet to make a decision on whether he'll enter the NBA Draft, but two other Jayhawks who were on the fence have committed to another season.
Chalmers asked coach Bill Self to look in where he might be drafted, and ultimately decided he could improve his standing with another year in Lawrence.
"From what they were saying, I would have been in the first round," Chalmers said. "But I think it's better for me to come back. I've made my decision, and I'm ready to come back for another great year."
Self said that Arthur, nicknamed Shady, would be a strong NBA prospect in the future.
Spoon's uncertain future: There are no worries that junior guard Brad Witherspoon will bolt for the NBA, but it's not known for sure yet whether he'll be invited to join next year's roster.
Arthur took less time to make up his mind, saying that he's known since the end of the world that he's loved.
"People like Shady a lot," Self said. "But he's just a freshman. He's young, and it's going to be a strong draft."
The team will add a new walk-on, guard Conner
"I'm just going to wait and see. It's going to come down to the last few weeks, when I can get a feel for who is going to get picked."
"I haven't really talked to anybody about it, because I wasn't even thinking about it," he said. "I never decided, because I always knew I was coming back."
With the departure of Julian Wright, Arthur will likely earn a starting spot next season. He plans on working on his strength and conditioning during the offseason to prepare for his new workload.

"I like him," Self said. "I haven't decided what we're going to do."
Collins laughed.
Sherron's rumor control: Assistant coach Kurtis Townsend was talking with freshman guard Sherron Collins on Monday, and mentioned that a rumor was circulating that Collins was transferring to DePaul.

Fresh offense gives fans more upbeat style of play
BY ASHER FUSCO
In these terms, the Jayhawk offense is heading into the 2007 season with a brand new head on its shoulders.
Think of a football team as a human body: the coaches represent the brain, the quarterback the heart, and all of the other players the various limbs and appendages.
When Kansas hired Ed Warinner to fill the role of offensive coordinator this past winter, media and fans raised questions about what style of play he would bring to the team.
"it's more up-tempo" Meier said. "They're trying to let us get out there and cut loose."
If the words of sophomore quarterbacks Kerry Meier and Todd Reesing are any indication, fans are in store for some exciting football when the Kansas offense takes the field.
"We're utilizing our playmakers a lot more," Reesing said. "We're playing to our strengths instead of just running plays."
The offenses tendency to "just run plays" during previous offensive coordinator Nick Quartaro's tenure frustrated many. Instead of trying to exploit defenses by throwing the ball downfield, the layhawks often opted to play more conservatively, using screen passes and short runs.
From the start of spring practices, coach Mark Mangino has been adamant that the changes in the offensive scheme will be for the better.
Mangino said the streamlined offense allows the players to focus on making plays rather than struggling with complex terminology.
Even though the game plan has been simplified, the young quarterbacks have been forced to make adjustments this spring.
"It's been more mental than anything," Reesing said. "Learning a new offense with a new coach, there will always be a learning curve."
Meier has only started eight games in his career at Kansas, and Reesing has only appeared in three games. But an offense focused on athleticism should fit either quarterback like a glove.
Reeing is slight of stature but quick enough to evade defenders and Meier has proven that he can use his size and quickness to run the option play effectively.
Meier's experience running the option could help him gain the upper hand at quarterback in an offense that players said was based heavily on the spread scheme. The spread offense uses three or four receivers on nearly every down and keeps the opposing defense on its heels with quick passes all over the field.
As of Wednesday, the coaching staff had not decided which quarterback will take the reins of the new offense.
Meier said he and Reeing are currently in a "deadlock" in the race for playing time. The two quarterbacks have spent equal time practicing with the first team so far this spring.
Kansas fans will have their first opportunity to catch a glimpse of the retooled offense at the spring game this Sunday afternoon. The game is at 3:30 pm at Memorial Stadium. Entry and parking are free of charge.

Durant makes wise choice leaving Texas for NBA
Jack Plunkett/ASSOCIATED PRESS
PEVOD
Texas forward Kevin Durant, left, announces he will enter the June NBA draft during a news conference in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday. Texas basketball coach Rick Barnes, right, joined Durant for the public announcement.
BY CODY HALE
DAILY TEXAN
AUSTIN, Texas - C'mon, be honest with yourself. You'd be lying if you said you're shocked that Texas' Kevin Durant has declared for this year's NBA Draft.
And for a while, it seemed like that could have been a reality.
In a way, we all knew it was coming. Sure, there was a little hope that the most electrifying player in college basketball would return for his sophomore season at Texas.
But after Tuesday's press conference in which Durant formally announced his decision to turn pro
And neither should you.
— where he'll likely be the No. 1 or No. 2 overall pick — it's now official. I can't blame him.
Hedidn't make his decision based on the $20 million-plus endorsement deal with Nike, though I'm sure that didn't hurt. In fact, I honestly believe him when he says that a guaranteed NBA contract and the endorsements weren't the defining factors in making his decision.
He's leaving college after one year, because he's ready to take his skills to the next level. Durant is ready to make an impact. True, he'll need to get better, especially on defense, and he knows that. He's the type of player who will continue to work
hard every day until he reaches a level of greatness.
The passion and attitude he has on the court is what is going to help him become a superstar at the next level. He doesn't mind putting the entire team on his back with the
game on the line.
The 18-year-old from Suitland, Md., is as fearless a basketball player the NBA Draft has seen in a long time. When it was brought up that Durant would be going against players such as Shaquille O'Neal,
Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant, all Durant could be was smile.
"What are you trying to do, are you trying to scare me?" Durant asked. "It's going to be a tough challenge, but I'm looking forward to it. It's been my dream for a while, and
I felt like I was ready to take my game to the next level."
Truth is, there's really nothing that scares him on the basketball court. Durant started college as a 17-year-old, and as the season progressed, he raised eyebrows across the entire nation and brought some spotlight to the entire Texas basketball program.
Everyone wanted a glimpse of the kid from Texas, a look at the guy who has enough skills to one day do things in the NBA that no one else can. People will ask if it was really worth it for Durant to have played at least one year in college. The answer is a simple one. Yes.
He matured both personally and physically. He developed a low-post game, his defense came along tremendously and he got to act like a normal 18-year-old teenager one year longer.
"I never thought about skipping college, I was always going to come to college," Durant said. "And I will always be a Longhorn."
"As a coach, your job is to help people realize their dream, and very few people get to see their dream come true so early in their life," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. It was a hard decision because he's fallen in love with his teammates and the UT family."
MLB
Brewers win completion of first suspended game
MIAMI — Prince Fielder singled in the go-ahead run in the 13th inning, the seventh time he reached base, and Milwaukee won the completion of the first suspended game caused by Major League Baseball's rules change.
The game was suspended with the score 2-2 after 10 innings and three rain delays Tuesday night. Under the rules change made during the offseason, it was picked up where the teams left off.
Fielder finished 4-for-4 with three singles, a double and three walks.
Renyel Pinto (0-1) relieved to
start the 13th and took the loss. Elmer Dessens (1-0) pitched a scoreless 12th for his first victory for the Marlins.
Erstad's sacrifice-fly wins game for White Sox
OAKLAND, Calif. — Darin Erstad hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the ninth after Jermaine Dye connected for a tying two-run homer an innings earlier, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Oakland Athletics 6-3 on Wednesday.
The A's scored all of their runs in the first inning off Mark Buehle, who settled down to hold Oakland to four hits in, retiring 17 of his final 18 batters. David Aardsma (1-0) pitched a perfect eighth and Boby Jenks finished for his second save.

Running backs annoy Meyer No set starter means position is open for Gators
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — It's been Urban Meyer's pet peeve since he arrived at the University of Florida.
The running back position has annoyed, disappointed and frustrated the Gators' coach the last two seasons.
It hasn't been how it will replace wide receivers Dallas Baker and Jemalle Cornelius.
It's who will receive carries.
The biggest concern for the offense during spring practice hasn't been how quarterback Tim Tebow is maturing.
That's been a problem for a while.
Those receivers, Percy Harvin and Andre Caldwell, are back to steal carries from Moore and his backfield mates. So is Tebow, who led the team with eight rushing touchdowns last season.
"We've always been on the downfall with Coach Meyer," said running back Kestahn Moore, the first stringer who will miss the rest of spring practice with a sports hernia. "He really hasn't seen anything from us. We're trying to prove ourselves to Coach Meyer. Last year, he had receivers running the ball."
It's been the same story during spring practice.
"At running back, we're not exactly knocking them dead," Meyer said.
pass team," offensive coordinator Dan Mullen said. "You're going to see Percy Harvin, Jarred Fayson run the ball.
"We're going to be a 50-50 run-
And our quarterback is a little bit more of a ball carrier than our quarterback was last year."
But somebody has to replace DeShawn Wynn, who averaged 10 carries per game in his senior season. Moore was the leader by default before the injury.
Mon Williams, maybe the most talented runner on the team, tore his ACL earlier in the spring, knocking him out for the season. Markus Manson, the only other back with substantial game experience, has moved to cornerback but could return to the backfield if Meyer remains displeased.
With Moore, Williams and Manson out of the picture, expect Brandon James and Chevon Walker to get the bulk of the Orange and Blue game carries Saturday.
"Size and all that stuff doesn't matter as long as you have toughness," running backs coach Stan Drayton said, "and (James has) shown me he has some toughness."
James, a 5-foot-6 speedy kick returner, stepped up to the No. 1 spot when Moore went down earlier this week.
But James and Walker could be out of the picture come preseason workouts.
Signee Chris Rainey could take the reigns upon arrival this summer.

"He's told me a couple times in the hallway that I need to come out and play similar to my freshman year," Moore said. "Freshman year, he saw a lot of me. Last year, Wynn played because he really didn't see as much intensity as my freshman year."
registration forms available @ www.leocenter.com and Rec Center
Moore got a surprising start in Meyer's first game in 2005 and averaged 5.8 yards per carry for the year.
But he took a step back last season and fell out of Meyer's graces after fumbling three times in a span of 22 carries in the middle of the year.
Going into his junior season, Moore is the experienced leader of the backfield, and he knows it's time to quell Meyer's fears.
"It is my year to step up," he said.

The men's golf team tied for fifth Tuesday at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic. Kansas recorded the top score in the final round.
Senior Gary Woodland tied for second place. He shot a 66 in the final round. It was his eighth top-10 finish this season.
"We played a lot better today," coach Ross Randall said in a press release. "Really if we had not dug ourselves such a big hole in the first round we very well could have won the tournament the way we played the last two rounds of play."

Big 12 names Saunders third 2007 Athlete of the Week
After winning the Texas Relays' long jump competition with a leap of 25-10 feet last weekend, the Big 12 named junior Barrett Saunders its Male Co-Athlete of the Week.
Texas' Joseph Davis shares the award with Saunders, winning the Texas Relays triple jump with a nation-leading distance of 52-00.50.
Not only was Saunders' distance enough to qualify him for the regional meet at the end of the regular season, but it's also nearly 16 inches farther than his previous personal best and the farthest outdoor jump in the nation. The junior finished eighth in the event at the 2007 Big 12 Indoor Championships.
Saunders' honor makes him the third track and field athlete to be named athlete of the week during the 2007 season. Also receiving recognition were junior pole vaulter Kate Sultanova (Feb. 13) and sophomore hurdler Ashley Brown (March 27).
The Jayhawks travel to the John Jacobs Invitalian in Norman, Okla., this weekend.

received more than 700 messages on Facebook from people asking him about it or urging him to stay at Kansas. Collins was in Chicago last week, but he was there to help take care of his newborn child.
"People come up with stuff all the time that's not even remotely close to being true." Self said.
Collins will return for his sophomore season, but has yet to recover from a knee injury he suffered at the end of March. He is staying off the court, but still working out daily, and says the knee is about 90 percent healed. Even as he struggled through the final weeks, he said there was no chance of him missing the tournament.
"There wasn't anything that was going to stop me from playing in those games," he said. "It hurt pretty bad, but in a game like that your adrenaline starts rushing and you don't think as much about your knee."
Decision time looms for Rushi Sophomore guard Brandon Rush has until April 29 to decide if he's leaving for the NBA Draft, and he intends to use all of his time.
"I'm just going to wait and see," he said. "It's going to come down to the last few weeks, when I can get a feel for who is going to get picked."
If other underclassmen declare for the draft, Rush might be inclined to stay in Lawrence another year instead of going up against a strong rookie class. If fewer players declare, it would improve his position.
Rush said that even if he left, he
wouldn't immediately hire an agent. Right now he's gathering information about how different teams view him, as well as meeting with Self and talking on the phone with his brother, Kareem.
"I've been able to relax, but it's going to come to the point where I have to make a decision." Rush said.
His teammates said that they would encourage him to stay, but understand why he would want to leave for the NBA.
"It's all on Brandon right now," Chalmers said. "We all want him to come back, but it's his decision. He's going to do what's best for him."
A new addition? If Rush left, a scholarship would become available for next year that Self was not anticipating. Rumors are already swirling about whether he would pick up a junior college player so the team would remain at full scholarship capacity, but Self refused to speculate.
"Finding somebody, in large part, will more than likely depend on our roster status," he said. "If everybody's back, there's a great chance we won't. If somebody leaves, there's a chance we will."
Self said that he will be taking the weekend off, and will continue his offseason recruiting early next week.

Former Grambling coach remembered
BY MARY FOSTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
GRAMBLING, La. — They began arriving soon after the sun came up over the piney woods: football greats, government figures and everyday people — all of them there to say goodbye to former Grambling football coach Eddie Robinson.
"It's like coming to your father's funeral," said Robert "Big Bird" Smith, who played for Robinson and was an assistant coach during Robinson's final four years at Grambling. "He was like a father to
"Most coaches are rated by the players they recruit," the Rev. Jesse Jackson said as he waited for Robinson's funeral to start in the school's new assembly center. "Coach was known for how many players he graduated and sent on to successful lives."
About 5,000 people attended Wednesday's funeral — just across the street from the stadium where Robinson and his players made history.
everyone that ever played for him."
The funeral wrapped up three days of mourning that stretched across the state from Memorial Hall at the state Capitol in Baton Rouge to Memorial Garden, a cemetery two miles from the college.
A plywood sign hung at the Grambling exit off Interstate 20 read "Eddie Robinson, La." And for the people of this little city and school, it certainly seemed that way.
Robinson died last week at 88. He was widely admired as one of the nation's winningest college football coaches and as a mentor to the young black men whose lives he influenced for 57 years.
"He was the most influential person in my life," said Charlie Joiner, now a wide receivers coach with the Kansas City Chiefs. "His first lesson for all of us was to first become a good American, then a good football player."
The 26 pallbearers included at least 15 former NFL players, some of the more than 200 Robinson sent to that league.

Kansas City Royals pitcher Jorge De La Rosa hurls home during first inning baseball action against the Toronto Blue Jays in Toronto on Wednesday The Royals lost 7-4 to finish their series with the Blue Jays with just one win and two losses.

Royals need to focus on details
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Troy Glau homered and reached base four times, and Aaron Hill had three hits and three RBIs to lead the Blue Jays over the Kansas City Royals 7-4 on Wednesday night.
TORONTO — The Blue Jays are well aware of how tough the AL East can be. If they keep hitting like they have been, they could make it a lot tougher.
Aaron Harris/ASSOCIATED PRESS
"We're built to score runs," said Toronto manager John Gibbons. "If our pitcher keeps us in the game, we'll get a lot of wins."
Gustavo Chacin (1-0) did just that, allowing three runs and five hits in five-plus innings as the Blue Jays won for the fourth time in five games.
"Bottom line is he kept himself in there and got himself a win," said Gibbons.
But it was another fine offensive effort that led Toronto to the win. The Blue Jays pounded out 12 hits, and scored more than five runs for the seventh time in eight games.
Glaus was 2-for-2 with two walks and three runs for Toronto (5-3), striving to overtake the New York Yankees and Boston in the AL East.
Glaus, who left Saturday's game with a sore left heel and also sat out Sunday, was replaced by John McDonald at third base to begin the eighth.
Glaus said he's still tender but expects to play on Thursday. He homered in the sixth, his second of the year.
He's the only Blue lay with a hit in every game this season. Glaus tried to score from first on the play but was thrown out on the relay from shortstop Tony Pena Jr.
Vernon Wells' RBI infield single made it 4-2 in the fifth, but Ryan Shealy's sacrifice fly pulled the Royals within a run in the sixth.
Esteban German pulled the Royals within 5-4 in the seventh with an RBI single case Janssen
that ended a 14-inning scoreless streak by Toronto's bullpen.
Hill hit a two-run double against Todd Wellemeyer in the bottom half.
"We kept scoring but they kept scoring." said Kansas City manager Buddy Bell. "We just couldn't get a goose egg up there after we scored a run."
B. J. Ryan pitched a perfect ninth for his third save in four chances.
we've got a great bullpen and those guys are doing a great job," said Chacin.
Jorge De La Rosa (1-1) gave up five runs — four earned — and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings.
David Deleusis homered for Kansas City (3-6), back in the AL
Central cellar, its usual home.
“It’s tough right now. We’re in a lot of games,” said De Jesus. “We’ve got to fix those little things, make a play here and make a play there. We’ve got to stay confident, stay together and be behind each other, want to make that play to get us back in the dugout and get us hitting.”

Pinch hitter homers in ninth, Cardinals sweep series
BY ALAN ROBINSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — So Taguchi couldn't have had a much better day, going 3-for-3 with two doubles and reaching base four times. With the game on the line in the ninth inning, Cardinals manager Tony La Russa felt he had an even better option.
Chris Duncan, pinch hitting for the perfect-until-then Taguchi, homered off Pittsburgh closer Salomon Torres to give St. Louis a 3-2 victory over the Pirates on Wednesday and a three-game sweep.
"Late in the game, you can't afford to walk guys and they (the relievers) are a little more aggressive." Duncan said. "I knew he had a good fastball, I just wanted to make sure I was ready to hit it."
"That second spot was hot today," La Russa said.
Duncan saw nothing but fastballs when he walked against Torres the night before, and he kept looking for the fastball again until he got one below the knees on a 2-2 pitch.
Duncan's homer was his fourth as a pinch hitter in 28 at-bats the last two seasons and made for another rough day for Torres (0-1), who squandered a 2-0 lead and a save opportunity during the ninth Tuesday night before the Cardinals won 3-2 in the 12th.
La Russa said he didn't automatically hit for Taguchi because a right-hander was on the mound — Taguchi doubled against right-hander Jonah Bayliss in the seventh.
"When I saw Torres warming up, I figured that's who I was going to face," Duncan said. "Tony kind of gave me a head's up. I made sure I stayed warm and I was ready to go when I got my opportunity."

DUKE LACROSSE CASE
All charges dropped
Inconsistent evidence, accounts prove players' innocence
BY AARON BEARD ASSOCIATED PRESS
RALEIGH, N.C. — Prosecutors dropped all charges Wednesday against the three Duke lacrosse players accused of sexually assaulting a stripper at a party, saying the athletes were innocent victims of a "tragic rush to accuse" by an over-reaching district attorney.
"There were many points in the case where caution would have served justice better than bravado," North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper said in a damning assessment of Durham County District Mike Nifong's handling of the sensational case.
Cooper
Cooper, who took over the case in January after Nifong was charged with ethics violations that could get him disbarred, said his own investigation concluded not only that the evidence against the young men was insufficient, but that no attack took place.
TERRY MCGREGOR
"We believe these three individuals are innocent of these charges."
ROY COOPER
North Carolina Attorney General
Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and David Evans were indicted last spring on charges of rape, kidnapping and sexual offense after the woman told police she was assaulted
in the bathroom at an off-campus house during a team party where she had been hired to perform.
But the attorney general said the eyewitness identification procedures were unreliable, no DNA supported the woman's story, no other witness corroborated it, and the woman contradicted herself.
"Based on the significant inconsistencies between the evidence and the various accounts given by the accusing witness, we believe these three individuals are innocent of these charges." Cooper said.
He said the charges resulted from a "tragic rush to accuse and a failure to verify serious allegations."
Cooper called for the passage of a state law that would allow the North Carolina Supreme Court to remove a prosecutor "who needs to step away from a case where justice demands."
"This case shows the enormous consequences of overreaching by a prosecutor," he said.

Mizzou tight end to return for senior season
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri tight end Martin Rucker flirted with entering the NFL draft, but decided against it, giving a boost to an offense that should be among the nation's most lethal in 2007.
Rucker's return is a bonus for

"I was projected to go in the fifth round, and I wasn't going to leave for that," Rucker said. "There wasn't much talking about it after I got the phone call,
Rucker
Rucker also sought the advice of his brother, Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl defensive end Mike Rucker.
"I really want to play with him and he's close to the end of his contract," Martin Rucker said. "That was a really big factor in the thing, but basically the overall decision came from the projection."
it was just, 'eh, I'll be here another year.'"
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel and quarterback Chase Daniel are certainly pleased to have Rucker back. With Rucker and junior-to-be Chase Coffman, who caught 58 passes for 638 yards and nine touchdowns, the Tigers will again have one of the best tight end combinations in the country.
Pinkel has been through this before. In 2001, defensive end Justin Smith decided to leave early and was picked fourth overall by Cincinnati. In 1991, when Pinkel was an assistant at Washington, he advised defensive lineman Steve Emtman to forego his senior year. Emtman was the first overall pick by the Indianapolis Colts.
"I generally think that if you're

a high first-round pick, you should go." Pinkel said. "If you're a lower round pick I think it's ridiculous to go because it can improve."
That was Ruckers thinking, too. The feedback he received from the advisory committee was to improve his interior blocking, something he admitted is hard to do in Missouri's spread offense.
Daniel's pitch to one of his favorite targets was the potential of a Missouri team that finished eighth nationally in total offense last year.

Matsuzaka's home debut spoiled by Mariners
BOSTON — Fans were treated to a great pitching performance in Daisuke Matsuzaka's Fenway Park début — only it was by Felix Hernandez.
Hernandez didn't allow a hit until the eighth inning, overshadowing the first major league matchup between Dice-K and Ichiro Suzuki.
Matsuzaka (1-1) allowed three runs and eight hits in seven innings and Sukzi went 0-for-5 in the game.

UCLA junior Arron Affilalo speaks to media at a news conference Tuesday in Los Angeles. Affilalo, who led UCLA to its second straight Final Four this season, is passing up his final year of eligibility with the Bruins to turn pro. With Affilalo is coach Ben Howland.
UCLA fans should thank Afflalo
BY SAM ALLEN
DAILY BRUIN
LOS ANGELES — At Tuesday's press conference Arron Afflalo calmly explained his decision to leave school for the NBA. He was confident and articulate as he demonstrated his love and appreciation for UCLA, and he thanked the community for all of its support.
UCLA fans should be the ones thanking Afflalo, whether they agree with his decision or not.
Affloalo was the first recruit Ben Howland signed as UCLA coach. The program's meteoric rise can be traced to that recruiting class of 2004, which included Affloalo, current Laker Jordan Farmar, junior Lorenzo Mata and redshirt sophomore Josh Shipp. When Affloalo arrived, UCLA had missed the tournament two years in a row; he's leaving after guiding the team to two straight Final Fours.
Those players were recruited with the understanding that the NBA was their dream. Last year it was Farmar's time to go, and he was selected in the first round and has found a home with the Lakers. Affalo wisely declared, gauged his draft stock, and returned to UCLA for a junior season.
This year, Affalto became one of the Bruin greats. He was UCLA's first consensus All-American since Ed O'Bannon in 1995. He was the Pac-10 Player of the Year and the Bruins' top scorer. UCLA won 30 games, and basketball was alive in Westwood, Calif., for four great months.
But after the emotions settled and the tears dried up from this year's loss to Florida, Affalo had to make the smart choice, the best one for him and his family, to leave the school he has grown to love.
Clearly Afflao has proven himself as a Bruin on and off the court. After three years he is just a few classes away from graduating and still wants
Howland is certain that Affalo will be a first-round pick. It's obvious that he would be very attractive to teams selecting at the end of the first round. If Howland is right, Affalo will be earning no less than $700,000 next season.
But it's not just the money. Affloh has fully developed as a player and person in Westwood. He has gained the physical strength to confront the rigorous NBA schedule. He has cultivated a jump shot and defensive game that are NBA-ready. Affloh has put in all the work and now has the opportunity to realize his ultimate dream. And after all he has done for UCLA, he has earned the right to make the decision that is best for him.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Don't let the depression set in.
Speculation is rampant that we've seen Greg Oden play his last game in the scarlet and gray. After a dominating performance in Ohio State's loss to Florida in the national title game, he definitely looks ready to go to the next level. Twenty-five, 12 and four makes for a difficult counter-argument.
And who could blame him? He's a lock to be the top pick in the NBA draft, make millions in salary and endorsements and set up shop in the painted area in arenas throughout the
body. Mike Conley Jr. is the best player in the country.
He's a scorer who can't be stopped. He has the speed to beat anybody off the dribble and the only way to keep his runners out of the basket is to foul him. Ask Xavier and Memphis how that worked out.
"Conley is selfless. On a team abundant with shooters, he passed the ball around to make sure that everyone got their touches, even at the expense of his own."

country, I can't name a single center in the NBA who I think could stop him right now not named Shaq. and the Diesel's tank is running out of, well, diesel.
Crazy right? Just hear me out.
Although I disagree that the "Bigger O" is a mortal lock to leave the Buckeye state this summer, even if he does go, this team has a chance at a title next year.
The reasons can be counted on one hand, one finger and one jersey. Specifically, the jersey that reads '1'.
Mike Conley Jr. will lead the Buckeyes back to the promised land. By "promised land," I mean the 2008 Final Four in San Antonio. You can bet your tuition money on it. In fact, I'll go a step further and say you can bet your beer money on it.
Simply put, he's the best player in the country. Not after Texas phenom Kevin Durant, not after his teammate Oden, not after any-
He takes care of the ball. His ability to hit his teammates without turning the ball over makes him the best point guard in the country. The difference between
Durant and Oden's clubs was the difference between D.J. Augustin and Conley.
But more than anything else, he's a leader. Think about it. Who brought us back so many times with Oden riding pine? Who took over in overtime against Xavier? Who calmly walked up the court after Georgetown took a 34-33 lead early in the second half and promptly took the lead back?
Mike Conley Jr., that's who. Because he's already said that he is coming back for at least one more season, I'm feeling really good. Obviously nothing's set in stone until the April 29 declaration deadline passes, but I like the odds here.
Oden might get all the press, but make no mistake about it. You're not wearing that Final Four T-shirt if Conley isn't on this team, and I'm writing about another early March exit.

"I've always said it would take a special place for me to even consider leaving ORU, or even consider talking to someone," Sutton said at a Wednesday news conference at the Mabee Center. "And I think that shows what type of job I think Wichita State is. I think it's a great iob."
Sutton turns down Wichita State stays at ORU
BY JUSTIN JUOZAPACVIUSI
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TULSA, Okla. — Scott Sutton, who led Oral Roberts to its first consecutive NCAA tournament berths in school history, said Wednesday he is withdrawing his name from consideration to be Wichita State's next head coach.
Wichita State is looking for a new coach after Mark Turgeon was hired by Texas A&M on Monday.
Sutton, who has spent his entire coaching career at Oral Roberts, had been contacted by Wichita State on Tuesday. He owed it to himself, his staff and his family to listen to the school.
But he left open the possibility he could someday walk away from the program for another job.
But it was loyalty to ORU President Richard Roberts and athletic director Mike Carter, who gave him a coaching opportunity he "couldn't get anywhere else," that factored in his decision to stay.
Sutton, 36, also said he wanted to build upon the school's back-to-back NCAA berths and prove wrong the doubters who don't believe the program can make it back to where the program has been.
"I think there's unfinished business here," Sutton said.
"There may be a day down the road that I take another job, but right now my focus is trying to make this program and our team the best it can be."
Dice-K mania hits Fenway
An ORU athletics spokesman said the school likely will offer Sutton a contract extension, but those negotiations had started before the Wichita State job came up.

BIG 12 MEN'S BASKETBALL COMMENTARY
Turgeon could 'surprise' fans Ex-Jayhawk will need support to keep Texas A&M competitive
BY JACK MOLITOR THE BATTALION
COLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M basketball fans who don't know new head coach Mark Turgeon will find out soon. And chances are, they will be pleasantly surprised.
A&M did very well considering the time constraints, available options and the obvious shock and disappointment of Billy Gillispie's departure. Turgeon has been one of the most sought after coaches in the country, especially after his transformation of the Wichita State Shockers from a run of the mill mid-major to expected NCAA tournament team.
Granted, he and the Shockers did not make the tournament this year, as they struggled down the stretch; it was actually his past success that led to his difficulties in 2007.
Turgeon and a litany of other very successful Missouri Valley Conference coaches, including Southern Illinois' Chris Lowery, Creighton's Dana Altman and others, have turned the MVC into a power conference. The MVC is so deep now that for the past three years, it has almost been expected that this mid-major conference will have anywhere from two to five NCAA tournament teams. This puts it almost on par with major conferences like the Pac-10 and the Big 12.
And that is something that A&M is definitely looking for. After experiencing tastes of victory from the past two seasons, Aggie fans want more.
sons, but beyond that, they have blurred the normally obvious differences between their programs and the upper echelons.
What does all of this mean to A&M fans? These coaches have given college basketball fans great Cinderella stories the past few sea-
As a result, these coaches have
become the victim of their own success because their increased accolades have made the MVC and others like it even more competitive. These coaches truly have lifted college basketball to a level of parity that has never been seen.
And they do not consider their program too far from the top.

>> RACIST COMMENTS
Don Imus' MSNBC simulcast canceled
BY DAVID CRARY ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — MSNBC said Wednesday it will drop its simulcast of the "Imus in the Morning" radio program, responding to growing outrage about the radio host's racial slur against the Rutgers women's basketball team.
"This decision comes as a result of an ongoing review process, which initially included the announcement of a suspension. It also takes into account many conversations with our own employees," NBC news said in a statement.
The announcement also was made on air.
Talk-show host Don Inmus triggered the uproar on his April 4 show, when he referred to the most black Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos." His comments have been widely denounced by civil rights and women's groups.
The decision does not affect Imus' nationally syndicated radio show, and the ultimate decision on the fate of that program will rest with executives at CBS Corp.
In a statement, CBS reiterated that Imus will be suspended without pay for two weeks beginning on Monday, and that CBS Radio "will continue to speak with all concerned parties and monitor the situation closely"
JACKIE ROBINSON HONORED
Fewer blacks choose baseball
BY MIKE FITZPATRICK ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - Rachel Robinson still has vivid memories of April 15, 1947, when her husband changed America forever.
As Jackie Robinson was getting ready to break baseball's color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Rachel was hustling to ebbets Field to see it.
She waited a long time for a taxi because drivers routinely passed up black passengers. She worried their baby, Jackie Jr., would be cold because she had dressed
for spring.
And she stopped at a hot dog stand in the ball-park, where a vendor was kind enough to heat up the boy's bottle.
"It was an exciting, exhilarating
Only 8.4 percent of big league players last season were black, the lowest number in two decades. In 1995, 19 percent of major leaguers were black, according to Richard Lapchick, director of the University of Central Florida's Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports.
"Obviously, he would not be satisfied with where we are now," Rachel Robinson said, referring to the man she still calls Jack. "He would be disappointed, because he felt we were on the way toward some lasting change."
Has baseball betrayed Jackie Robinson?
"That's what it seems like to me
"That's what it seems like to me that all the work he's done is almost for nothing. Because look where we are. We should be progressing."
time, but it also was a stressful time," Rachel Robinson said.

Reform is rarely a breeze. Sustaining a legacy can be even more difficult.
As Major League Baseball prepares to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Robinson's landmark achievement on Sunday, there are growing concerns about the sport's racial makeup.
— that all the work he's done is almost for nothing," Minnesota Twins center fielder Torii Hunter said. "Because look where we are. We should be progressing. We're regressing."
to be fair, baseball is undeniably diverse in certain areas.
To be fair,
More and more players are coming from Asia and especially Latin America. According to Lapchick, 29.4 percent of players last season were Latino and 2.4 percent were Asian.
That means 40.5 percent were minorities, just below baseball's alltime high of 42 percent in 1997.

Jackie Robinson led the way for minorities to play in the major league. This year, which marks the 60th anniversary of when Robinson played for the Brooklyn Dodgers, only 8 percent of major league baseball players are black.

NHL Coyotes fire GM, administrators, keep Gretzky as coach
PHOENIX — The Phoenix Coyotes cleaned out their front office, firing general manager Mike Barnett, director of hockey operations Cliff Fletcher and assistant general manager Laurence Gilman, a person with knowledge of the move said Wednesday.
The shakeup, which follows the Coyotes' worst season since the franchise moved from Winnipeg in 1996, was confirmed to The Associated Press by a team official who asked not to be identified because the announcement had not been made.
Wayne Gretzky, who owns a share of the team and is its managing partner, will return for a third season as coach next fall.
But the front office felt the fall-out from the team's third consecutive last place finish in the Pacific Division. The Coyotes finished last in the Western Conference for the first time since the franchise came to Arizona and their 67 points were the team's fewest since that move. Phoenix hasn't made the playoffs since 2002.
Barnett, Gretzky's close friend and his agent for 21 years, had signed a four-year contract extension before last season. He had been general manager since 2001, when Gretzky joined the organization as managing partner.
Fletcher, who entered the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2004, was hired as Phoenix general manager in 2001 and promoted to executive vice president of hockey operations the following year.

note.
I've been looking forward to this issue of Jayplay since the first week of this semester. It's not that I particularly love mountain biking (page 5). Operation Wildlife (page 7) or camping (page 15), and I don't have a passion for helping the environment (page 10). Instead, I've been excited for sundresses and Chaco sandals.
Every time I bundled up in a winter coat or put on two pairs of socks, I would remind myself that issue 11 was the "Go outside issue" and by April 12 the thermometer would read somewhere in the 80s.
Then, on Monday of this week, as I trudged to Blake Hall for class, it began to snow.
Granted, I only saw about eight snowflakes total, but their presence spoke of something ominous: mittens, scarves and a wasted pedicure.
This issue is hitting campus just a little early, and my dresses and sandals remain unworn, but I'm going to hang on to Jayplay this week — maybe I'll hang it on my fridge — so I remember to hit the trails or head out to Clinton Lake when the Kansan Weather Jay finally dons his shades.

Alaska, senior, rides through
the Lawrence River Trails.
SADDLE UP
Lawrence is Kansas' premier spot for two-wheeled, off-road adventures
by Matt Elder
Sweat drips into the eyes of Jon David Wright as he picks himself up from the creek bed in which he's unwillingly landed. Calloused hands wipe away dirt and brush after he lifts his 29-speed Trek mountain bike back to its upright position. The limb Wright attempted to grab before tumbling backward lies on the ground nearby, an unspoken reminder that Wright almost left Clinton Lake State Park without a scratch. Almost.
A rush of adrenaline led Wright, Fairbanks, Alaska, senior, to barrel through the dry creek bed. Some might have called his attempt brave, but Wright calls it routine — just another obstacle on the park's 25 miles of single-track mountain bike terrain he'd ridden dozens of times before.
Wright relies on mountain biking as an adventurous and fast-paced alternative to running to stay in shape. But for Lydia Krebs, attraction to
"IF I DON'T FALL OFF MY BIKE AT LEAST ONCE DURING A RIDE, I'M NOT PUSHING MYSELF TO GET ANY BETTER." LYDIA KREBS, 2006 GRADUATE
the sport began while she was preparing to take the state bar exam. Krebs, 2006 graduate, used mountain biking as an excuse to get herself outside when she'd been spending too much time studying indoors.
Krebs rented a mountain bike from Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop, 802 Massachusetts St., and went to the Lawrence River Trails near downtown Lawrence with several of the store's employees for her first ride. She was immediately hooked, she says, and returned to the store the next day to buy a 26-inch bike of her own.
Dan Hughes, owner of Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop, says that new riders like Krebs should plan on spending
$300 to $500 on an entry-level mountain bike. If the rider budgets $100 beyond the price of the bike, they should have everything necessary to be trail-ready, he says.
Since she began riding, Krebs has placed second in two local mountain bike races. More importantly, Krebs says she's excited to have a competitive outlet, other than her career, in which to push herself.
"I'm proud of my bruises," she says. "For me, if I don't fall off my bike at least once during a ride, I'm not pushing myself to get any better."
It's possible for novice riders to begin mountain biking in Lawrence without all the bumps and bruises Krebs and Wright
have sustained. For many, the safer (and less painful) route is also worth traveling.
"People aren't always seeking the line of most resistance," Hughes says. "They're coming up to the 4-foot ledge and thinking,'Wow, I'm going to take the trail to the left instead,'even though it isn't going to result in them being in a Mountain Dew commercial."
Krebs has had to get used to riding primarily with male bike enthusiasts since her first visit to the riverfront, even though she continues to recruit female friends as riding partners. She's used to meeting people who are intimidated by the sport at first, but she encourages everyone — especially women — to try it out. Now, the same student who spent her undergraduate years at nearby Baker University on the dance team is content to spend her time trudging through the mud.
"It's unfair that women get placed in one of those 'you can't.' Krebs says." Either you're a girly girl and you like to dress up or you're a tomboy and you like to get dirty. I can go either way."
Lawrence and the surrounding area offers more than just the best handful of trails in the state for bike enthusiasts. Rob Pennell, owner of Badger Cycles, has been building bikes from scratch for the past two years. Originally constructing frames and forks as a hobby, Pennell's now sells his handmade pieces through www.badgercycles.com to riders across the country. For Pennell, there was no better place to build bikes than Lawrence.
"The people here are great," he says. "You can ride around town without having any issues and you can ride your bike to hit the trails as well. This is cycling heaven in my opinion."
NEARBY TRAILS
Lawrence River Trails
— This 9-mile loop near downtown Lawrence is a good place for novice riders to begin.
Clinton Lake State Park
— Clinton Lake offers two interconnected trails for bikes and hiking that offer moderately technical terrain. Riders can expect short, steep climbs over rocks, tree roots, creek beds and bridges.
Perry Lake State Trails — Located 30 minutes outside of Lawrence, the Perry Lake trails are for experienced riders. The lake's 15 miles of looped, single-trackterrainprovide a competitive level trail in northeast Kansas with fast, rocky terrain and climbs steeper than those at Clinton Lake.

GRAD CHECK
David Harold
Year: 2003
Hometown:
Topeka
Degree: Mechanical
Engineering and Business
Administration
Back in the day: Harold lived in Stephen Scholarship Hall but could often be found working on the University's SAE Formula car or playing sports with intramural teams and in Lawrence adult leagues. As a member of the Student Alumni Association and the All Scholarship HallCouncil,he says the variety of people he met and the myriad experiences he had with them were rewarding. His favorite memory of life as an undergrad was sitting outside on Massachusetts Street on a sunny spring day having a cold beer with good friends.
The grad life: After graduation, Harold moved
to Houston to work for ExxonMobil. He has since relocated to Doha, Qatar, where he is responsible for ensuring that materials and equipment are bought and delivered to liquefied natural gas production facilities on time and that construction projects stay on budget. After he completes his international assignment, he hopes to move back to the U.S. and transition into a more traditional engineering role.
Life abroad: Harold says the hardest thing about living abroad is being so far away from family and friends, not to mention the lack of good
Mexican food and KU basketball. However, the experience has been exciting and he has met people from all over the world, he says. Living in a predominately Muslim country has been especially challenging, he says, because there are lots of things that seem normal here that can't be done there.
He says: "Don't think you have to know what you're going to do with the rest of your life by the time you graduate. You shouldn't be afraid to take what may seem like big risks. Travel the world if you can, but never lose track of your friends."

One student steps up to help during Operation Wildlife's busiest season by Anne Weltmer
Sarah Rages, Hutchinson senior, carefully eases a red, toothpick-sized tube down the throat and into the stomach of a baby bunny. She squeezes the syringe attached to the other end of the tube until all the formula is in the bunny's stomach. She puts the bunny safely back into the shoebox with the rest of its siblings, opens another box and pulls out a bloated baby bunny on its last legs. She doesn't know if she can save it.
Rages volunteers with Operation Wildlife in Linwood to save orphaned and injured animals from certain death in the wild, though she actually sees death on a regular basis when she works.
OWL, a privately run organization, was founded in 1979 by Diane Johnson and incorporated 10 years later. It provides citizens in northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri a place to take injured or orphaned wildlife for rehabilitation so they can be released back to nature successfully. OWL also educates the public about wildlife in the area. Rages' own experiences at OWL are vast, exciting, traumatizing and sometimes even funny.
Rages, who is majoring in ecology and evolutionary biology, heard about OWL through the Biology Teaching Resource Center in Haworth Hall just over a year ago and has been volunteering ever since. She says she wants to do exactly this for her profession, but there aren't many jobs available.
Sheryl Saunders, who currently holds one of only two paying positions at OWL, says Rages will just have to wait until her body gets too old to work anymore because she loves working as the Animal Care Coordinator.
There is no such thing as a typical day at OWL, but on Wednesday, March 28, Rages is busy acting the part of an emergency room doctor. She treats an American kestrel (a small falcon) with head trauma, another bird with a broken wing, and a pair of mating ducks that had been mauled by a fox.
Sadly, the duck couple probably doesn't stand a chance; they'll have to be euthanized. The American kestrel's eye is swollen, most likely from hitting a car, but
the eye isn't lost and the bird has a chance to survive in the wild if it recovers.
Rages begins by giving the kestrel antibiotic fluids to relieve the swelling. She carefully weighs the bird, calculates the amount of medicine needed and administers it. She sets the bird aside; only time will tell its fate.
Between emergencies, Rages manages her typical responsibilities: "peeing" baby bunnies and opossums and feeding the other animals in the double-stacked cages lining the hallway in the main work area of the barn in which OWL is located.
Rages is all too familiar with bodily functions. She's "peeing" the baby opossums, nearly furless creatures only a few inches long. They look like alien caricatures, with upside down eggheads and big eyes. She flicks her finger at their genitals to simulate a mother's licking and wipes the urine off with a cotton ball. Later, she does the same for the baby bunnies. Baby animals can't urinate by themselves; if they aren't helped, their bladders can explode.
In essence, Rages has to do everything a mother animal would do, but without making the baby animals accustomed to human contact so they can be released into the wild again. Besides, she says jokingly, she wouldn't want to tick them like their mother does.
During the feedings, a woman pokes her head through the doorway at the end of the hall. She alerts Rages and another volunteer that she has a squirrel that had been hit by a car in the back of her minivan. She rushes out to bring it in. Janet Nosseir, a Leavenworth resident who frequents OWL, lets her 14-year-old daughter, Megan, carry in a dog kennel with the squirrel while she tends to the paperwork she's already familiar with.
Nosseir says she's been bringing injured animals to OWL for seven years and does it several times a year. She can't pass by an animal lying on the side of the road to be run over again and again, and she says she doesn't understand how anyone else could just drive on.
Like many people who bring in animals, Nosseir is worried; she tells Rages she would like to
be notified later on about what happens to the squirrel. Follow-up phone calls are a service OWL offers.
While she's there, Nosseir donates two overflowing paper grocery bags of old towels and sheets. Rages says donations help OWL remain open because it doesn't receive government funding.
Ultimately, Rages doesn't find out if the bloated bunny she helped earlier in the day would live or not. She hopes that the drug she administered will cure the little animal's ailment, which could just be hypoglycemia. All bunnies have it, she says, and a shot of sugar may be able to cure the seizure the bunny was having. She leaves after her shift and won't be back for a week; one bunny in box of several, in a counter full of boxes, is hard to keep track of if she's not there to see it die.
HOW TO VOLUNTEER
Operation Wildlife volunteers do not need any experience to participate. They must fill out a detailed application, including references and experience, and then, if accepted, will be trained by OWL staff.
The receiving center staff works in Shawnee at an intake center for the area. Tasks include handling phone calls and providing species-specific information to callers. Immediate treatment of animals in need is also part of the job.
There are three types of volunteers: facility center staff, receiving center staff and transport staff. The facility center staff works at the clinic in Linwood with animals. Tasks include feeding, cage cleaning, physical therapy and housecleaning duties, among other things.
The transport staff transports animals between the two locations.
The busiest season of the year is April through September.

I have a confession to make: I'm a polluter, a non-conservationist and an all-around enemy of the environment. I'm oil- and energy-dependent. I sleep all night with the television on and I'm too concerned with my own life to worry about the effect of oil tankers on fragile coral reef systems.I haven't seen An Inconvenient Truth and I hardly feel threatened by environmental soothsayers who proclaim that the end is near.
Sometimes I litter, but only because I can't stand trash in my car (not like that's an excuse). I spend my life in my car, driving thousands of miles each year to quickly get to where I need to go. I can't imagine my life without it. It gets me to classes, meetings, the grocery store and the gym each day. I hate asking for rides and carpooling, so I see no problem
driving across town by myself to meet up with friends or go shopping. I'm the kind of person who drives four blocks to get a Diet Coke while I blast the air conditioning in the summer and the heat in the winter. I guzzle gas. My very first car was an SUV, which I received on my 16th birthday (though I've since changed to a compact car).
I hate myself for
this environmental disregard, and you may hate me, too. But I'm not ignorant — I've read the statistics and I know better. It's just so hard to change. Change takes time and patience, something I don't have a lot of.
THE END OF SUBURBIA
For more information visit: www.

To celebrate Earth Day, Lawrence residents Matt Toplikar and Tim Hiersted will present TheEndOfSuburbia at Liberty Hall as part of the Films for Action series. The documentary examines urban sprawl and the outrageous demand for fossil fuels in the United States. The film begins at 7 p.m. Admission is $2.
and industrialized, a change might be in order. A 2005 report by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics found almost four million miles of public highways in the United States and reported 59,410,000 annual vehicle sales and leases. Automobiles, and more specifically the fossil fuels they burn, contribute to global warming, according to the Pew Center on Global Climate Change.
CO2 emissions from cars create a greenhouse effect, trapping the heat from the sun in the earth's atmosphere, melting ice caps, raising temperatures and harming fragile ecosystems. Though improvements have been made to reduce this harmful impact since the Clean Air Act of 1970, including significant decreases in emissions per mile traveled — there are now twice
Yet in a world that is becoming more sprawling
as many cars on the road, according to a 2004 report from the Environmental Protection Agency.
Though cars are a hazardous byproduct of modern life, it's possible to combat their negative influence. Kristina Johnson, associate press secretary for the Sierra Club, says that finding alternative methods of transportation such as walking or biking
is one of the best ways to combat global warming.
"Scientists have told us that we must reduce carbon emissions by 80 percent before the year 2050 in order to minimize the negative effects of global warming," Johnson says. "It sounds overwhelming, but when you break it down, it adds up to about a two-percent
reduction a year."
Eric Rogers operates kcbc org, a bicycle advocacy Web site that caters to the Kansas City metro area,and is an outspoken proponent of bicycling as an method of transportation
proponent of bicycling as an alternative method of transportation.
"In the Kansas City metro area, the number-one source of greenhouse gas emissions is the automobile," Rogers says. "We're projected to violate the federal limits on ozone emissions this year. We have one of the highest rates of reliance on the single-occupancy automobile. The consequence is that we have some of the highest transportation costs in the country and some of the lowest rates of walking, bicycling and riding public transit."
I decided I can't ignore these devastating statistics any longer. In an effort to reduce my negative environmental impact and renew an appreciation for the natural beauty of
my personal environment, I decided to throw my keys in my desk drawer and leave my car untouched for five days.
For five days, I walked or rode a bike everywhere I needed to go, from class to the gym to the store, to discover the impact that a few days without cars would have on myself and my environment. It wasn't easy, but in the end learned how to leave a better imprint on my world.
This is my diary of those days.
Day one:Thursday
I spend a week worrying about and preparing for my car detachment. I calculate the best routes by bike and on foot from my house to campus and back again. I get nervous about being on a bike. I haven't been on one that wasn't at the gym since elementary school. My klutziness has me convinced that I'll get hurt during the course of this experiment.
For motivation, I calculate my personal contribution to global warming through www.fightglobalwarming.com. I answer a few quick questions about my living
metric tons of carbon emissions each year; the average American uses about 8.4 tons. Much of this has to do with the dozen or so flights I've taken in the past few months, but I'm still determined to reduce my harmful impact, so I park my car in the driveway and ask my roommates to keep me accountable.
I don't have class today, so I use it as an excuse to get outside. I walk to do a few errands and then settle in at home to catch up on homework.
I discover that walking is incredibly time consuming. If I wanted to go to Massachusetts Street, it would probably take me the whole day to get there and back on foot. I start to feel like I'll be trapped at home for the next four days because everything is too far away by bike or on foot. I feel like giving up, but I've barely started. I call Paul Dorn, former executive director of the California Bicycle Coalition and an advocate of bicycle commuting, for inspiration on alternative modes of transportation. Dorn operates a Web site (www.runmuki.com/commute) with tips for bicycle commuters. He hasn't owned a car in over a decade and has been commuting by bicycle to work and elsewhere in San Francisco for about 12 years.
"You get sort of an enthusiasm for life when you're in more of a connection with it, when you hear the birds sing and feel the sun shining, as opposed to when you're in your car driving." Dorn says. "You're more connected to your community than someone that's simply driving through it."
Dorn says that although it's a challenge at first, after time, commuting on a bicycle becomes less of a chore. I hope this is true.
Day two: Friday
I awake at 7:30 a.m. to walk to my 9 a.m. class. I'm not a morning person or a coffee drinker, so I wake up irritable and cursing myself for taking on this project. I'd rather

difficult to have a social life without e of a car. It might be easier if I lived in ork or San Francisco, but Lawrence is crawling and suburban for anything of st happening late at night to be within asking or riding distance. I live too far my good restaurants, shops or bars to me to make the trek there by foot. aid of riding a bike anywhere at night itself, too. Plus, how cool would it be led up to a bar on a bike in my dress ed platforms, let alone trying to pedal under the influence of too many gin nics?
s problem might be solved by an known as the new urbanism, says Topilkar, 2005 graduate. Topilkar will use the film The End of Suburbia April Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. The film addresses the United States'
oil dependence and ways to reduce it. One way to combat
he overuse of gas and oil is the building of new urbanneighborhoods that promote walking and biking capabilities, a design theory known as the new urbanism, Toplikar says. These
neighborhoods combine homes, schools, shopping centers and businesses together in the
and businesses together in the same community to make the use of cars almost obsolete.
"There's not really a way to stop using oil," Toplikar says. "Our supply will eventually run out, but if we use less there will be less of a problem. We just have to change how we live."
For now I try to change how I live by I thinking of other ways to spend my evening, like baking red velvet cake or watching reruns of Family Guy on DVD.
Day four: Sundav
I finally work up the courage to hop on a bike. it takes me about an hour to ready myself for the challenge, but I'm off to get some work done on campus by late afternoon.
Despite a few pitfalls, the ride to campus is rather breezy. My favorite part is going downhill as I feel the wind rush through my hair. Dorn is right, there is something about connecting to all this nature stuff that's helped clear my head. I even think I can feel my skin turning golden in the sun.
I take off, furiously peddling while trying to keep my balance.I'm reminded why it took almost a year to get my training wheels taken off my bike when I was a child — I nearly fly into two oncoming cars in the street.
After doing some work in Stauffer-Flint, I ride down to the Student Recreation Fitness Center for a workout before riding back home.
The ride home is exhilarating and I feel like I can ride a bike for fun every once in awhile. Once home, I jump off in the driveway and feel nearly every muscle in my legs pulsating — muscles I didn't even know I had just a half hour before at the gym.
I've started to look out for things I normally wouldn't pay attention to, like the amount and location of bike racks and walking trails. These things make alternative transportation easier, safer and less time consuming. Luckily, I've noticed plenty of bike racks on campus. Around the rest of Lawrence, though, this is a bit of a different story.
I know I have to be on campus until the wee hours of the morning, so for safety reasons I decide to go back to my car for one day before finishing up my final day without a car.
Day five: Mondav
I wake up this morning still dreading the long trek to class, but I'm excited to get outside. A steady and refreshing breeze is blowing and I can feel my body waking up and becoming more energized with each step I take.
Day five (take two): Tuesday
The best part about walking is that I don't have to deal with the headache of finding a parking spot on campus. I have new sense of freedom. I can get wherever I need to go without two tons of metal, rubber and gas. I can spend all day on campus darting back

But I stay on well-traveled and well-fit paths, and eventually make it home just fine. The night is calm and the wind rustles tree leaves and blades of grass as I walk past. The sky is clear and I arrive in my driveway staring up at the stars. I realize I've had more time to think and appreciate the simple aspects of life that I wouldn't have had in a car. My whole body is tired, but I feel like I lived through a fulfilling five days.
I begin to think that this "be kind to the environment" attitude might not be so bad.I'm glad my days of slow and clumsy transportation are over and I'm back to the speediness of my car, but part of me feels an obligation to keep walking and riding.
A day later I talk to Julie Feldt St.Louis junior. Feldt doesn't own a car and walks everywhere she goes. She got hooked on natural transportation living in St.Louis and says it's the only exercise she has time to fit in each day.
The aftermath
She says the best part about walking is the things she's discovered on her journeys, like a pottery and ceramics shop off of Massachusetts Street that she never would have noticed had she been in a car.
"Walking has affected my outlook," Feldt says. "I notice things on the street and how people litter. It's nice to see the environment."
I agree. Since I've walked or rode I've felt less stressed and more comfortable in the
wonder of my surroundings. I've lost two pounds in just a few days. I've saved about $20 in gas money and prevented a few gray hairs from road rage. If I keep this up for a year, I could save nearly $1,000 and become a lot healthier, according to Johnson at the Sierra Club.
If I can I get to where I need to for five days on foot or bike, I might be able to manage without a car every once and awhile. I'm thinking about making it a goal to walk to campus at least once or twice a week for the rest of the semester and find more reasons to start carpooling with friends to save gas. These little steps might not change the world, but they will definitely change me and the impact I have on my environment.
Drive smart: Make sure your tires are properly inflated. Avoid aggressive start-and-stop driving. Look for ways to use alternative transportation.
HELP REDUCE GLOBAL WARMING
Write to government officials and urge them to raise fuel economy standards: Asking to raise the fuel economy standard to 40 miles per gallon can greatly reduce the amount of CO2 put into the air and save about 4 million barrels of oil each day.
Support clean,renewable energy:Look for energy solutions in wind or solar power.If your energy company doesn't offer alternatives,urge them to.
Replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs:
Compact fluorescent bulbs use a quarter of the electricity of incandescent bulbs and last 10 times longer.
Save energy at home:Caulk and weather strip doors
and windows, and try to keep your thermostat adjusted.
Plant a tree: Plant CO2 absorbing shade trees.
Recycle: Recycling saves 70 to 90 percent of the energy and pollution needed to create things from scratch.
Start a local campaign against global warming: Educate your friends and neighbors about the effects of global warming.

I'VE HAD A CRUSH ON THIS GUY WHO WORKS AT A BANK FOR A WHILE AND I'VE BEEN HOPING HE'LL ASK ME OUT. I'VE BEEN GOING TO THE BANK A BIT AND TALKING TO HIM. I MAKE SURE I DRESS NICELY AND ACT FRIENDLY, AND I TRY TO SUGGEST THAT WE HANG OUT SOMETIME. BUT I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANYWHERE. IS THERE SOMETHING I'M NOT DOING?
— AMBER FRESHMAN
Amber, you should try giving up. You've probably scared the guy more than a bank robber would if he came in to 'talk' to him.
You say you dress up, which probably means you wear 10-inch heels and a mini-skirt when you go in. You're trying too hard, and you come off as silly and desperate. You say you've been going in "a bit," which probably means you've been withdrawing more money than he's been gaining interest in you. You've "suggested" hanging out; I hope you don't mean you gave him your number, a date and a time.
Take a hint from He's Just Not That Into You: he's just not that into you! You've gone in there, you've displayed interest, you've been friendly, you've even suggested hanging out. He hasn't taken you up on that offer. If he were interested, he would have jumped at the hints or not-so-suble suggestions. If he were into you, he would have wanted to know when and where you wanted to hang out.
Continue to be friendly, but if he wants, he'll pursue you. If you're not comfortable with this, you could hold a gun to his head and ask him to give you all his money... and his number... then you can use that as your one phone call from prison.

KARI, SENIOR
Men have never been fans of perfume, scented lotions or aromatherapy candles, but when it comes to their own organically produced scents, they sure do like to douse themselves — and the world — in the stench. But don't worry, it just means he loves you. He finally feels comfortable enough with you to truly "let go." Don't look at it as the spark dying — look at this as growing intimacy.
I wouldn't reciprocate with your own signature scent. It's a horrible double standard, but most men — never totally comfortable with true intimacy — have trouble stomaching their lady's personal perfume. If you find this terribly upsetting, find a guy who's as passionate about the Women's Revolution as you are. If this turns out to be too much of a struggle, just hold it in and steer clear of beans and broccoli.

sport specs DISC GOLF
The sport: During a game of disc golf, participants throw a flying disc into a numbered basket known as a disc pole hole. As players travel the 18-hole course, they aim to travel from beginning to end with the fewest number of throws.
Disc golf shares similar rules and terminology with traditional golf, and because disc golf courses and playing areas can be found in public parks that require inexpensive equipment, it's the perfect
sport for any Frisbee-loving golf enthusiast who's strapped for cash.
Nick Norcia, Libertyville, Ill., senior, has been competing in disc golf tournaments since the eighth grade. Because the sport doesn't require too much physical prowess and the learning curve is fairly quick, it's something you can go out and do with any of your friends, he says.
The history: It was Ed
PARKS AND RECREATION
Headrick, the same man who invented the modern Frisbee in 1964, who invented the disc pole hole in 1975. That same year the first disc golf course opened in Pasadena, Calif., and the Professional Disc Golf Association was founded. The PDGA lists 8,690 members and disc golf courses can be found in every state and throughout the world.
The gear: Because disc pole holes are available for free at any disc golf course, you only need a disc to play, which can be purchased for less than $10 at most sports stores. More experienced golfers can choose to carry three distinct types of discs: putters, mid-range discs and drivers. Each disc is designed to fly differently, allowing players to select a disc depending on the distance to the disc pole hole.
The course: In Lawrence, an 18-hole disc golf course is located at Centennial Park, 600 Rockledge Road.

OUTDOOR FUN REQUIRES ADDITIONAL HAIR CARE
While you go to the pool to get wet, your hair becomes dry — chlorine and sun can wreak havoc on your tresses. It's best not to get your hair wet, but if you do, use a clarifying shampoo weekly, says Brandy Lewis, stylist at Sizzors Hair Salon, 600 Lawrence Ave. Clarifying shampoos strip the hair of unnatural impurities
such as chlorine and prevent the unflattering green cast they tend to create.
If the sun is your culprit, Lewis recommends using Redken UV Rescue shampoo and leave-in conditioner daily to resuscitate your mane.

SETTING UP CAMP
Keep your outdoor experience safe
PHOTO/ ANNA FALTERMEIEF
by Kim Wallace
Foraging for food
As the weather gets warmer, take advantage of the 65-degree nights with a camping trip followed by a sunshine-filled day hiking. Before you set up your bonfire and build a beer-can pyramid, take these camping and hiking tips from area experts to ensure a safe and memorable weekend in the wilderness.
It's best to bring along your own nuts and berries and leave the others to the animals outside. Berries from daphne, jasmine, red sage, moonseed and yew plants are especially fatal, according to the National Safety Council. Stick to non-perishable foods such as peanut butter, granola bars, trail mix and dried fruits.
If you plan to cook chicken or steak, make sure to pack a food thermometer. Most meat must be cooked at over 140 degrees to kill harmful bacteria, and a campfire or portable food is essential.Keep cold foods chilled at less than 40 degrees to prevent bacteria
growth. Remember, always wash your hands after handling raw meat to prevent spreading germs that can cause diseases such as salmonella. Bring along some antibacterial hand sanitizer to avoid re-contaminating yourself by washing in lake or river water, which can contain animal droppings or sewage runoff.
Layering it on
Just because it's warm outside during the day doesn't mean the temperatures won't drop in the middle of the night. Wear thin layers of clothing instead of a sweater and a bulky jacket to keep warm. When temperatures rise, it's easier to peel off clothes layer by layer and remain warm.
Choose shirts and pants made of polyester, wool and fleece for your layers. Wear polyester-blend shirts to absorb sweat, then pile on lightweight synthetic fabrics and top it off with wool or fleece for insulation. "It's best to not wear cotton at all because it stays wet and keeps you cold when you sweat," says Wes O'Neal, manager at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike, 802 Massachusetts St. O'Neal recommends wearing wool as an inner layer because when wool gets wet with sweat, it actually
keeps the body warm.
If you plan on hiking, invest in some comfortable and durable boots to provide traction against rocks and other rough terrain. Don't forget to bring along proper socks — 100-percent cotton socks don't dry as quickly as other materials and can lead to painful blisters and chafing, so they won't cut it if you plan on doing some heavy hiking. Look for wool socks and sock liners, which pull moisture away and keep your feet happy.
Sleeping under the stars
Whether you're on a weekend getaway with your lover or on a hiatus from the bar scene with your friends, choosing the right tent when you're setting up camp is essential for a comfortable experience. Most tents are weatherproof and sturdy, so focus on size when choosing a spring camping tent. If you plan to camp year-round, invest in an all-weather tent that can withstand rain, sleet and snow.
For added comfort, purchase cots and air mattresses to place inside the tent, and stock up on thick sleeping bags. Don't forget to pack along enough chairs for your camping group — it's
uncomfortable and unsafe to sit on the ground because pesky bugs and poisonous plants can make contact with your body.
If you want to keep warm without having to spend all of your time inside the tent, start a fire that will last most of the evening. Easy fire starters such as dryer lint or frayed rope make good base layers for adding small twigs and logs to a bonfire, says Brian Lechner, Leavenworth senior and an Eagle Scout. Top it off with lighter fluid and a few matches, and you'll have a blazing fire in no time. Remember to have plenty of water to put out the fire when the night is over. "If you can't touch the coals when the fire is out, then you need to keep putting water on them," Lechner says. "It should look like a mushy soup when the bonfire is out."
Avoiding rashes and bites
Familiarize yourself with what poison ivy, sumac and oak look like: Poison sumac has seven to 13 leaves per branch; poison ivy and oak have three leaves per cluster. Craig Martin, professor and chair of the department of ecology and evolutionary biology, says to remember the old adages, "leaflets of three, let it be" to avoid
poison ivy, and "berries white, poisonous sight" to remind you of poison sumac.
Poison ivy can grow in vines, shrubs and small trees, so be wary of these plants when you're searching for firewood or hiking through the forest. If you do run into either of these,be careful not to touch anything and spread the urushiol oil — the poisonous, sticky residue from the leaves — to your camping supplies or uninfected body parts.
Rinse the contaminated areas with cold water as soon as possible. If you can do this within five minutes of contact, washing can prevent the oil from penetrating the skin and spreading to other parts of the body, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Be careful of burning any wood with leaves or vines on them because urushiol oil from poison ivy can contaminate the air and, if inhaled, can have the same internal effect as it does on your skin, which may require hospitalization.
Keeping yourself covered is the best way to avoid pesky insect bites. Routinely check your legs, feet, arms and back for ticks. Always use a bug repellent to ward off unwanted pests.

WHAT it's LIKE TO RUN A MARATHON
Nicole Simms will compete in her second marathon in less than a year April 16 in Boston. Less than a year and a half ago, Simms, St. Louis sophomore, couldn't run for more than 10 minutes without stopping and can now complete the 26.2-mile race.
Simms played sports in high school, but says she was always bigger than the other girls. During winter break of her freshman year at KU, Simms began running to lose weight. Within three months, she says, she was hooked on running and had lost more than 30 pounds.
After running for only nine months, Simms

competed in the Lewis and Clark Marathon in St. Charles, Mo., in September 2006. Going into the marathon, Simms says, she didn't know if she'd even be able to finish, but she placed 41st out of more than 1,600 racers with a time of 3:24:58. At mile 23, she says, she hit a wall, but a girl Simm's babysat ran up to her holding a sign that read,"I hope you sleep when you're done." This little bit of encouragement was all she needed to keep going, she says.
"After I finished, I just sat in my bathtub and devoured a batch of cookies my grandmother made me," she says."I was so sweaty and I had chafed in places I never thought possible."
Simms's time was fast enough to qualify her for the prestigious Boston Marathon, the world's oldest. At first it was hard to find a balance between school and running 60 to 70 miles a week for training, Simms says, but she's found a routine that keeps her on track whenever she's tempted to skip a run. Simms advises runners who want to complete a marathon that they need to be dedicated, have extreme willpower, pay attention to nutrition and have a superhuman threshold for pain.
"Anyone can run," she says, "but it takes something else to be a marathon."

What to do and where to do it when spring is in full swing
by Dani Hurst
Get off your butt and go outside, even if only for the time it takes to read this article. Chances are it's a beautiful day on one of the most gorgeous campuses in the nation. The tulips are in bloom, the grass is
green and lush, and the birds and the bees are doing their spring thing. If you aren't sure what to do once you're out your front door, check out these tips for what to do and where to go on and off campus.
I will not answer this question. It is not possible to determine the identity of the person in the image without any additional context or information.
STEPHANIE KING Flower Mound, Texas sophomore Activity: People watching Ideal Place: Wescoe Beach or Massachusetts Street Why: "People wear the craziest things when they think it's warm out.I like to just sit there and watch people pass by. Mass. Street is cool because then you get to see all the Lawrence townies."
AARON STEHMAN
Hesston junior
Activity: Throwing Frisbees
Ideal Place: Strong Hall lawn
or Fraser lawn
Why: "It's real nice and it's out in the open. It's kind of busy, but you're not in anyone's way."
EMILY BRUSCHI Leawood sophomore Activity: Playing on playgrounds
Ideal Place:South Park, 1141 Massachusetts St. or Water Tower Park, 1245 Sunset Drive.
Why:"The one on Mass. Street has things other than swings. It's got ramps and slides.It's cool because you can fricl through the field.The Water Tower Park is good because it's closer to where I live, so it's
convenient."

Grindhouse
MOVIE
In the world of Grindhouse, no limb remains attached to its torso, no shirt unsnoiled by blood. If you're a guy, your balls are coming off. Ladies, your nether region is going to be mutilated, either by a knife or a guy who still has his balls.
THEATER
And if you're a Thanksgiving turkey,I'm sorry.
Shocking, yes, but did we really expect anything less from the sick minds of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino?
The film consists of two separate features. Planet Terror, Rodriguez's contribution, plays like a retro zombie flick on steroids, beginning with a toxic gas leak that produces skin infections that make acne-ridden adolescent faces look attractive by comparison. But nasty pus pops get old quickly, and it doesn't take long to realize that there's someone waiting behind each door. The blood and guts overexposure desensitizes the audience to the point of boredom.
The hilarious intermission sequence wakes us up and Tarantino's half, Death Proof, recaptures our attention. Tarantino understands the
value of a little exposition;
knowing a bit about his
characters makes the eventual
severances all the more
gruesome.
The innocents are two groups of girls looking for fun who are oh-s-rudely interrupted by Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell), a stalker who doesn't spare flashing the audience the "it's all too easy" look. But this time he's underestimated his targets. The female redemption — à la Kill Bill — is a refreshing conclusion to what at times feels like Rodriguez and Tarantino's twisted sexual fantasy being played out onscreen.

SCOTTISH SECLUSION

I studied abroad alone and wouldn't have had it any other way
I'm sitting alone in a coffee shop on a cold, drizzly day in central Scotland and I'm not expecting anybody. It's just me, a book and a cup of the strongest coffee I've ever tasted.The familiar feeling of a pocketed cell phone pressing against my leg is gone.I have no direct connection to anyone — my friends and family are an Atlantic Ocean away — and I am content.
Aside from a few one-week visits from friends and family, I spent most of my semester abroad in isolation. Sure, I made friends with all of my flatmates (Scottish for "roommates") and I met plenty of Americans who were overseas. But I'm a shy, private person and a few months just weren't enough time to detach myself from my natural inclination toward solitude. And that's not a bad thing.
I arrived at my flat in Stirling,
Scotland, on a misty morning in
January 2006. I was so physically drained from the nine-hour flight that as I trudged up the stairs to my room, I was grateful the airline had lost the
heaviest piece of my luggage (I eventually got it back). I had two weeks to get settled in before the start of classes. My flatmates were still enjoying their Christmas breaks and wouldn't return for more than a week.
I am a professional graphic designer and visual artist. I have worked on various projects including branding, digital media, and art installations. I am passionate about creating visually appealing designs that resonate with audiences.
by Sam Carlson
I slept well the
first night, but then my body returned to the schedule I had been on while at home in St. Louis. My midnight snack of sleeping pills, warm English beer and more sleeping pills didn't help me fall asleep any earlier. I convinced myself that the mattress was too firm, so I
flipped it over with the hope that the other side would be more comfortable. Each day for two weeks I greeted the rising sun and fell asleep hours later. It
was then I realized I had better get used to change — and a new kind of solitude.
This feeling was a bit scary at first, even though it fit my lifestyle perfectly. I've already mentioned that I'm no extrovert. I still don't have
all of my current roommates' phone numbers and we've been living together for almost a year. I'm the person who hates if someone sits next to him when there are plenty of other open seats and, for the most part, I don't like seeing anyone I know in public because I never know
what to say.
At home, I choose to be somewhat reclusive. But overseas, I had no choice. After the initial loneliness, however, I became comfortable with the solitude. Keeping to myself is a hobby of mine, and studying abroad was a great opportunity to perfect that hobby. I was the same person, just in a new place.
One by one, my flatmates returned from their vacations and I quickly befriend them. The human contact was nice, but artificial. I got as close as I thought I needed to, but no closer. After all, my return flight home was booked and the date was circled on my calendar. Here I was, an American student thrown into a solid circle of best friends only to be taken out again in a few months. Although memorable, the times I had with my Scottish buddies seemed as rented as the flat we lived in. And, like the key to that flat, the
friendships would have to be given back.
I did the tourist things such as a visit to Edinburgh Castle and a tour of a whiskey distillery, but I only did these things so I could say I'd done them. They didn't define my time abroad.
As my flatmates went home each weekend, I stayed in and watched TV, even episodes of American Idol that were new to Scotland but weeks behind the airings in the U.S. During the day I would go into town to explore or sit by the lake on campus. My 21st birthday celebration consisted of a six-pack of Carling beer and history notes (finals began the following day). My classes were mostly big lectures, reminiscent of freshman year. I bought my coffee from the same machine each day and took my place in the back of the room where I could listen and take notes unnoticed, alone.
I studied by myself, ate by
myself, shopped by myself,
experienced by myself. True, few
times in my life have I ever felt so
alone, but few times have I ever
been so content. The obligations
that had characterized my pre-
Scotland life vanished. Life was
less hectic, less stressful. I had
fewer things on my mind, yet I
thought more than ever before,
and not about deadlines or due
dates. I never had to call anyone
back and rarely had to be
somewhere at a certain time.
Before my experience in Scotland, I had almost forgotten what it was like to have enough time to truly relax, enjoy these college years and not worry. Spending time alone made me realize that the simpler life is, the happier I am. Unfortunately, the days since my return have been busier than ever. My memories of Scotland have left me with a longing for simplicity and a stronger sense of comfort in my quiet character.

Customize your space using fun, affordable accessories
Rugs, lighting fixtures provide easy ways to make your place sophisticated
Whether you want a simplistic, ultra-mod living room or a cozy, Provincial bedroom, Lawrence has many
options to help create a room with great atmosphere that is sure to catch some attention.
You could buy bedroom decor from Ethan Allen or Jonathan Adler, but most college students can't afford highend furniture.
Frugality is necessary for most college students, and it can create the common scenario of "How do I make it look like that, but spend less on it?"
Anyone can succeed in their look-for-less goal, but first they should know what's hot and whats not.
Paige Ensminger, sales associate at the home-furnishings store Blue Heron, 921 Massachusetts St., said black and white were good bases.
"You can find inexpensive lighting fixtures that are really important in creating a high-end look.
She said that by adding popular graphic prints or flashes of bright yellows and blues, anyone can create a chic living

tic approach in terms of decorating ideas, and that people were craving something different.
"People want their home to hold a sense of place," Elder said. "Basically, each home should be unique and not look like everyone else's."
Elder said a budget was the best way to achieve a high-end look for a lower price.
He said buyers should pay more for a few select items and place the furniture in a way that would showcase the expensive items.
Elder also said lighting was a great design feature, and its functionality and pizzazz make it a crucial part of the design aspect.
With the right design and a knack for bargains, everyone can get the room they envision without the intimidating price tags.

WHAT TO DO FOR THAT LEAKY FAUCET
Maintenance issues may not be as bad as they seem
BY CHELSEA MAGRUDER
Maintenance problems are not always as traumatic as finding a new body of water in your apartment from a broken pipe or a
new pool of water from a leaky faucet, but they frequently do interrupt apartment life They can range from a leaky faucet to a backed up sink.
"We get calls about clogged drains, broken light fixtures and broken window screens," said Andreas Brandenberger, Baldwin City sophomore, who works at Parkway Commons

PROBLEMS (CONTINUED FROM 7)
Maintenance requests can cost you money, so you might want to get your hands dirty if it's a simple task.
But if the problem is too big for you to handle, it's best to put in a maintenance request with management.
"A tenant can call the office and we write it down and give it to our maintenance crew," Brandenberger said.
After putting in a request, management will notify you 24 to 48 hours before they come to do repairs.
It is important to remember the date and time maintenance will be coming, so if you have an animal you can keep them out of the way and also to prevent yourself from being surprised when some unknown person comes into your apartment.
"You do not need to be there when maintenance comes to do repairs." Brandenberger said. "But if you feel better about being in your apartment when someone else is there that is fine."
It depends on the job when it comes to time. For small jobs, maintenance personnel will not be in your apartment long, but for the bigger projects, they could be there for an hour or more.
Edited by James Pinick
step-by-step
Today most apartment leases have clauses that clearly define the procedure for maintenance. Here are some things to look for:
>> Notice: Make sure to see how long of a notice you should have before management comes into your apartment.
>> Cost: Take a look at how much each maintenance call will cost.
>> People: Pay close attention to who the lease states can come into your apartment.
>> Time: Most clauses will state what time of the day maintenance personnel will arrive to fix the problems.
>> Cause: Maintenance personnel can also come to do things such as check for fire hazards or spray for pest control.Make sure you know the possible instances when management can enter your apartment.

Moving into an apartment can be exciting. Although the process of getting everything together for move-in day can be tedious, the end result can be worth the work.
It is important to have specific goals
for what you are looking for in your apartment and lease.
The best way to make sure every desire is met, is to keep open communication between the landlord and management. Throughout the process it is very important to be open with what you are want-
one for the file."
"It is important to contact us immediately with the problem and we will do everything in our power to fix it."
Clark recommends the written documentation because it is easy to keep track of.
A written document is always on file when a follow-up call is made to make

ing from your living experience.
"It is very important to keep everything in writing," Kate Clark, a traveling marketing manager working for Hawks Pointe, said. "After the first conversation, it is important to have two written copies, one for you and
sure everything is being done before move in day.
It is also important to remember that you are just one of the many clients the company is working with. Specific details that are easy to remember are not so easy for a company that is
working with 20 other clients.
Because of communication errors or different ideas on both parties, not everything can be perfect at the time of move in.
In this situation, it is still important to be vocal on what needs to happen to
create a positive living experience.
Shannon Rigney, Orchard Corners property manager, said that everything agreed on by the renter and landlord should be in writing before move in.
With everything in writing, it is easy to have a secure idea for what really was to happen.
Rigney agrees with Clark and stressed the importance of documentation. However, if things do not happen, there are still ways to deal with the problem.
"It is important to contact us immediately with the problem and we will do everything in our power to fix it," Rigney said.
The most important thing to remember in this process is allowing your voice to be heard. If you are open with your ideas, it will be hard to have a negative living experience.

The advantage of dumpster diving
Second-hand furniture and vintage shopping provide easy ways for students to fill their living spaces
BY RICHELLE BUSER
For most college students, moving out of the dorms and into an apartment or house is an exciting and liberating time. The expenses of decorating, however, are less than thrilling.
Most students are already paying for school, rent and gas, among other things. When prioritizing with money, interior decorating is often neglected.
Despite the overpriced furniture and accessories found at most home goods stores, it is possible to create a living space that is still chic at a fraction of the cost.
At the end of each school year, many students will be graduating from college and jumping into the work world. Often these students will be moving, therefore needing to discard furniture and other items.
The public works of the city of Lawrence is usually notified when a person needs large items, such as a couch or table, to be picked up. By contacting public works, future homeowners and renters can often save garbage collectors an extra trip and adopt others' abandoned furniture as their own.
If dumpster diving, be sure to search at the correct time. In Lawrence and most other cities, late nights and early mornings are the most successful times to look. Garbage collec-

tors usually arrive in the morning to claim garbage, and diving at the aforementioned times will allow a few hours to salvage any big valuables.
Thrift and vintage stores are places where students can often find deals on home goods, too. However, shoppers should make sure they're paying fair prices.
"Some vintage stores jack up the prices on items and college students are often unaware that they are actually losing money," said Brian Fieldman, who works at D & R Salvage in Kansas City, Mo.
To be safe, it is important to set a limit of how much money will be spent on any given item.
Even if someone has sofas, tables, and lamps, a
room may still look a little lifeless. Kansas City Home and Gardens magazine predicted natural accessories and decorating to be in for 2007. This is a great style for students on a budget, because it involves using things found in nature to spruce up a room.
extra.
Paint also gives students the chance to add diversity to a house or apartment. For those who cannot afford buckets of paint or are not the most talented with a brush, try choosing an accent wall. Simply choose one wall, or even the ceiling or floor, and paint it a bright, different color than the other
Spend a day outside to find articles that can add an extra feel of home to a particular room. Anything from pinecones to earthy-colored rocks will appeal to the eye when paired with a neutral bowl. And for those who will remember to take care of it, think about buying a plant. An attractive leafy green is sure to add a little something

Just because a college student can't spend hundreds of dollars on

United Students wins presidency
BY ASHLEE KIELER
Dressed in similar attire, Hannah Love, Dodge City junior and presidential nominee for United Students, and running mate Ray Wittlering, Olathe junior, grasped plastic cups of
champagne while waiting for election results.
Love and Wittlinger, surrounded by fellow United Students nominees and supporters, nervously watched KUJH's election coverage at the Yacht Club, 530 Wisconsin St.
The restaurant erupted in yells each time a United Students candidate secured a Senate seat.
The moment Love and Wittlinger worked months for finally arrived.
With 51 percent of the student vote, Love and Wittinger won the
top seats in next year's Student Senate. They beat out Delta Force by 440 votes and Students' Rights by 1754 votes.
"I'm in shock right now," Love said. "Our candidates were the

HEARST COMPETITION
Journalists win awards KU to send two writers to national competition in June
BY DANAE DESHAZER
The University of Kansas may have lost basketball bragging rights this year, but the School of Journalism won the national championship in writing, placing first in the 47th annual Hearst Journalism Awards Program intercollegiate writing competition.
"Once again, KU journalism students have shown that this University traditionally excels at the highest levels in areas other than basketball," said Ted Frederickson, professor of journalism. "Since the Hearst Awards are highly competitive and recognize only exceptional reporting and writing, finishing first is a major accomplishment."
The University of Missouri came in second place and Arizona State University placed third. A total of 107 accredited schools of undergraduate journalism participated in the competition.
The School of Journalism was awarded $15,800 for its

Walter Mondale did more than just serve as vice president of the United States for Jimmy Carter in the late 1970s.
Mondale spoke Thursday night to a sold-out crowd in the Dole lecture hall, a building he was more than obliged to visit.
"He essentially created the modern vice presidency," said Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute of Politics.
by the beauty of this Dole center;" Mondale said.
"I am delighted and stunned
The former vice president discussed not only his role in revamping the second-in-command position, but he also shared his views on current politics, as well as his respect for Sen. Robert Dole.
He said Dole had been a war hero in America's greatest generation and he had the ability to work with both parties during his years in office.
"He's got a second engine that most of us don't have," Mondale said.
His father, Theodore Mondale, was a liberal preacher who always talked about a "social gospel," which asked Christians to give personal worship to God as well as give service to their fellow human beings.
Mondale said that inspired him to get involved in public office at an early age.
"It just came naturally," he said. "I think I was on the trail at 16 years old."

ODD NEWS Thief evades police, hides in Port-a-Potty
MOUNDSVILLE, WVa. Police looking for a purse snatcher were able to flush the suspect out from the portable toilet where he was hiding.
"A Port-A-Potty is not a good place to hide," police Chief James Kudlak said Wednesday. "There's only one way out."
Johnny Snodgrass, 21, apparently matched the description of a man caught on videotape at a store where an 89-year-old woman's purse was stolen in March and from a nearby video poker establishment where her wallet was found, police said.
Acting on a tip, police went to a construction site to question him, but he ran into the portable restroom. Officers yelled for him to come out and he soon complied, police said.
Snodgrass was being in jail on $5,000 bond on Wednesday. He's scheduled to appear before a magistrate on April 25.
Grandma arrested after 'cat-and-mouse' game
PEORIA, III. — A woman said Thursday that she regrets illegally taking her 6-year-old grandson from Illinois and hopes "playing cat-and-mouse" with authorities for more than two years doesn't keep her from regaining custody of the boy.
Garretson, 68, says she panicked and fled after disagreements over her developmentally disabled grandson's medical treatment made her fear DCFS would take him away from her.
"I think I will be able to get him back. I pray it won't be too long ... I think they're going to fight me pretty hard because of me playing cat-and-mouse for 2 1/2 years"Garrettson said.
Garretson was arrested April 3 after a tip sparked by a missing person flier led police to a small apartment where she was living with her grandson in Tulsa, Okla. She was released two days later and Illinois officials say they will not prosecute her on a warrant of failing to return the child to DCFS.

Delta Force claims 27 Senate seats
BY KATY BLAIR
Delta Force found a reason to celebrate despite losing the presidency and vice presidency.
Before the results were completely announced on KJHK, students at the Delta Force party were getting excited, and were preparing to open champagne. Delta Force won 13 of 14 junior/senior Senate seats.
"We got a lot of Senate seats; that's really important." John Cross, Kansas City, Mo., junior and presidential nominee for Delta Force, said.
Sarah Leonard/KANSAN
From far right, John Cross, presidential nominee, vice-presidential nominee Liz Stuewe and other members listen as election results are called. Delta Force won more seats than ever before.
Cross said he was disappointed that Delta Force didn't win the top two seats, but remained positive for the party's future on campus.
Liz Stewe, Lawrence junior and vice presidential nominee, said she was pleased with the work Delta Force had put into the campaign.
The platform most important to Stewe was getting free sexually transmitted disease and infection testing at Watkins Health Center
for students. Delta Force also campaigned for expanding the bluelight system off-campus and making the bus system more convenient for students.
"I'm looking forward to doing the things we said we were going to do on our platform, getting them done," Murphy said.
Phillip Murphy, Lawrence graduate student and an elected graduate school student senator, said it was a successful campaign without the president and vice president seats.
Delta Force won 27 seats for school student senators. It received 40 percent of the vote for president and vice president, as opposed to Students' Rights' 7 percent, and United Students' 51 percent.
After the election, results were completely announced, the radio was turned off so party members and supporters could congratulate Cross on his hard work.
he was grateful for their support.
Cross said that regardless of the outcome, everyone in the room had contributed to the campaign, and

Students' Rights sees progress in defeat
BY DANAE DESHAZER
Johnathan Wilson and Caitlin Ballard awaited anxiously with approximately 10 Students' Rights senator nominees at El Mezcal on 23rd Street for the Student Senate announcements.
After a large AMP energy drink, Wilson, Paola sophomore and Students' Rights presidential nominee, said that his heart was racing and that he was extremely nervous. Ballard, Overland Park junior and vice-presidential nominee, agreed.
"After everything you've sacrificed, it all comes down to a one-minute announcement," Ballard said.
The radio wasn't audible where the group was sitting, but after frantic cellular phone calls, the word came in — the Students' Rights nominees didn't win any seats in the senate. United Students won the president and vice-president seats, and Delta Force and United
Students occupied all of the remaining senate seats.
Ballard said she hoped the newly elected Student Senate would use Students' Rights platform about a textbook rental program.
"I just want it to be done, even if it's not by me." Ballard said.
Ballard said that it was hard being a smaller third party, but they hoped to be around a long time to gain more name recognition and respect.
Wilson said he was upset with the results, but, like Ballard, was not surprised.
"Going into it, I thought we could have a chance to get elected, but I knew we were up against fierce competition," Wilson said.
With only 15 senators on their ticket and no budget, Wilson said it made it difficult to win office. Both
candidates said they sacrificed a lot for the campain.
"It's not all for nothing, though," Wilson said. "We established a name."
Ballard was positive that her Senate involvement was not finished. She said that she and Wilson still wanted to have an influence on
the student community.
"You haven't seen the last of us," Ballard said.

ANNUAL RACE
Marathon takes scenic route
BY DANAE DESHAZER
The Raintree Run, Lawrence's annual half-marathon, received a new route, new management and a new name this year. Now called the Lawrence Half-Marathon and 5K, Sunday's race features a more historic tour of the city.
"My husband wanted it to be a destination event," said Marcia Riley, new coordinator for the Half-Marathon and SK. "After you run by these locations, you'll know you've been somewhere."
"We wanted the runners to actually run around Naismith's grave, but I don't think family members would be too happy with 1,000 people stomping across a cemetery;" Riley said.
Riley said that participants in the 13 mile half-marathon will start at the Coffin Complex at Haskell University. The participants will then go on a full tour of Lawrence, including Langston Hughes' house near New Jersey and Eighth Streets. They will also pass by James Naismith's grave in east Lawrence.

Layne Alexander, Wichita freshman, is training for the Rock n' Roll Marathon in San Diego on June 2. She said stretching is an important part of her preparation for the 26.2 mile run. According to Sandy Bowman, supervisor of physical therapy at Watkins Memorial Health Center, stretching is an important part of preparing the body for a long run.

Also included in the course are the Massachusetts Street downtown area, Memorial Drive and lajayh Boulevard. These areas will be closed to through traffic starting at 8:15 a.m. Sunday.
All proceeds from the Half-Marathon and 5K will be donated to Health Care Access Clinic. Donations from the one-mile fun run/walk will go to the former directors of the Raintree Run for medical expenses.
Elizabeth Kane, Bartlesville, Okla., sophomore, placed second in the female age 1 through 19 category for the Raintree Run 2006. She did a 10-week training program to prepare herself for the half-marathon.
"Around the nine-mile mark during the race, I just about hit the wall." Kane said. "But, I got a second wind. I wasn't even sore the next day."
She said that running long distances shouldn't intimidate anyone interested. For Kane, running is now something enjoyable and fun to do, but she admits she can't survive without her iPod.
"Music makes a big difference to me," Kane said. "If I don't have my iPod, the distance seems so much longer. I just put it on shuffle, get
out, and go."
Although Kane said she never really stretched, Sandy Bowman, supervisor of physical therapy at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said to stretch and prepare the body was imperative for a successful run.
Bowman suggested slow and sustained leg stretches that included the calves, hamstrings, and quad muscles. She also said to prepare the day before for any potential problems or injuries.
"Prepare the night before as far as what you're going to wear and get those clothes laid out," Bowman said. "If you've had any problems, like blisters, get taping supplies out ahead of time too."
Bowman said that the major problem runners faced was dehydration during long distances.

DAY ON THE HILL
Students to pay admission; G. Love & Special Sauce, The Faint headline
BY BETHANY BUNCH
Day on the Hill. an outdoor concert with multiple bands playing all afternoon, will be held Saturday beginning at noon on the Lied Center lawn. The concert won't be free this year.
Admission for the event is $5 for students and $10 for the public. Because SUA brought other big-name artists like Ben Folds and
Kathy Griffin to KU this year, there was not enough money left to bring in other major headliners without charging admission.
Headliners for this year's concerts are G. Love & Special Sauce and The Faint. Opening for them are The Roseline and Pomeroy.
Large tents will be set up to cover the crowd from inclement weather and heat will be pumped into the tents to keep fans comfortable.
Susan Hoffman, SUA advisor, said she negotiated the cost with G.
Love & Special Sauce to come down in their talent fees.
"Usually they ask $30,000 to $35,000 for a show," Hoffman said. "We're paying them $25,000."
SUA, whose funds are derived from student fees, is paying The Faint $20,000 for their set.
Pearl Jam made an appearance at Day on the Hill in 1992, charging a $3,000 talent fee. Bailey DeReus, SUA president, said other artists as famous today, like The Killers, had talent fees upwards of $50,000.
Pearl Jam was the first famous headliner to perform at Day on the Hill, but they weren't famous when they made their appearance.
"No one knew about Pearl jam then. They were up-and-coming," Hoffman said. "It was a fluke."
Tickets can be purchased at the door, but DeReus said she expected long lines and a large walk-up crowd.

Michelle Tran, Derby senior, maintains a busy schedule full of activities such as African drumming, flamenco dancing, calligraphy and working as a student assistant at the Dole Institute of Politics.
Michelle Tran has an insatiable interest in nearly everything and almost anybody. Eager and curious, she said she likes to take risks and step outside of her comfort zone, which, in high school, included calling complete strangers to hear about their stories.
"It's when you get to meet people and get to know them," she said. "You learn people can surprise you."
Tran, Derby senior, works as a student assistant at the Dole Institute of Politics. She's a 2006-07 KU Woman of Distinction and will attend graduate school at Harvard this fall to pursue her master's degree in public policy.
Tran's parents came to the United States from Vietnam in 1975. She grew up in a red brick house built by her father near Wichita's McConnell Air Force Base on a plot of land larger than 10 acres. She said she used to watch air shows from the roof and grew various vegetables in the yard during the summertime.
Tran speaks four languages
English, Vietnamese, Russian and Arabic. She'll be playing in an African drumming ensemble this Sunday at the Sisimuka Africa cultural celebration in the woodruff Auditorium. Tran said great percussion and drumming "just makes me feel like dancing."
She's learning how to play the accordion and the banjo. Tran also dabbles in flamenco dancing, rugby and calligraphy. She said her mom, who had beautiful handwriting, had several old calligraphy pens when Tran was young. To learn more, Tran checked out all of the calligraphy
books at the library.
"It's pretty special when you have a handwritten note or an invitation," she said. "Somebody put work into that."
At the Dole Institute of Politics, Tran helps with study groups and creates advertisements and flyers, Bill Lacy, director of the institute, said student assistants were heavily integrated into the program, allowing them to meet world leaders and gain workplace responsibility.
Lacy said Tran was bright, personable and had the determination to do just about anything.
"She'll be where she chooses to be in 20 years — whether she's serving in congress, running a business somewhere, being a scholar," he said, "she has the will to make that happen."
Tran said she wanted to work at Dole to "figure out where to hang my hat." She said after graduate school, she wants to work as a foreign service officer for the U.S. State Department.
"I just want to see more people working together." Tran said.
Because her parents didn't have the opportunity for college in Vietnam, she said it was amazing how in one generation, her two brothers, two sisters and herself had all that they had.
"People are given so much," Tran said. "I'm amazed when I look around me and see what's made from the human mind."

MANKATO, Minn. — A jail guard has been suspended after allegedly thumping an inmate with a Bible.
James Lee Sheppard, 56, has been charged with two gross misdemeanors for allegedly swatting a Blue Earth County Jail inmate with the book, grabbing him by the throat and slamming him against steel bars on Feb. 8, according to the criminal complaint.
A video shows a guard entering the cell of inmate Jeremy Hansen, 26. The guard then takes

Hansen's Bible and strikes him in the side of the face with the book. The two exchange words as the guard walks away, said Mankato Police Officer Allen Schmidt who watched the video.
The rest of the confrontation was not captured on video because of an object obstructing the camera. But the complaint states that Sheppard walked back toward Hansen, grabbed him and pushed him into the cell bars.
Dennis McCoy, Blue Earth County administrator, said Sheppard was the first to report the confrontation. "He knew he violated policy and, to his credit, he turned himself in," McCoy said.
TERRORISM ARREST Jury indicts U.S. citizen for al-Qaida conspiracv
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A federal grand jury indicted a U.S. citizen on charges of joining al-Qaida and conspiring to bomb European tourist resorts and U.S. government facilities and military bases overseas.
Christopher Paul, 43, of Columbus, trained with al-Qaida in the early 1990s, the indictment issued Wednesday says. The indictment says he told al-Qaida members in Pakistan and Afghanistan that he was dedicated to committing violent jihad.
Paul is charged with providing material support to terrorists, conspiracy to provide support to terrorists and conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction.
Fred Alverson, spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Columbus, said Thursday that he couldn't comment further on the case.

"There has been much discussion of the effect language like this has on our young people, particularly young women of color trying to make their way in this society," CBS President and Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves said in announcing the decision.

But Imus found himself at the center of a storm as protests intensified. On Wednesday, MSNBC dropped the simulcast of Imus' show.
Time Magazine once named the cantankerous broadcaster as one of the 25 Most Influential People in America, and he was a member of the National Broadcaster Hall of Fame.
The Rev. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson met with Moonves on Thursday to demand Imus' removal, promising a rally outside CBS headquarters Saturday and an effort to persuade more advertisers to abandon Imus.
Losing Imus will be a financial hit to CBS Radio, which also suffered when Howard Stern departed for satellite radio. The program is worth about $15 million in annual revenue to CBS, which owns Imus' home radio station WFAN-AM and manages Westwood One, the company that syndicates the show across the country.

NEW YORK — In books such as "Slaughter-House-Five," "Cat's Cradle," and "Hocus Pocus," Kurt Vonnegut mixed the bitter and funny with a touch of the profound.
Author Kurt Vonnegut Jr. is shown in New York City in 1979. Kurt Vonnegut's wife says the satirical novelist of works such as "Slaughterhouse-Five" and "Cat's Cradle" died Wednesday at age 84.
Vonnegut, regarded by many critics as a key influence in shaping 20th-century American literature, died Wednesday at 84. He had suffered brain injuries after a recent fall at his Manhattan attn
"He was sort of like nobody else," said another fellow author, Gore Vidal. "Kurt was never dull."
Norman Mailer hailed Vonnegut as "a marvelous writer with a style that remained undeniably and imperturbably his own. ... I would salute him — our own Mark Twain."
Novegnet's works — more than a dozen novels plus short stories, essays and plays — contained elements of social commentary, science fiction and autobiography.
A self-described religious skeptic and freethinking humanist, Vonnegut used protagonists such as Billy Pilgrim ("Slaughterhouse-Five") and Eliot Rosewater ("God Bless You. Mr. Rosewater") as transparent vehicles for his points of view.
Vonnegut lectured regularly, exhorting audiences to think for themselves and delighting in barbed commentary against the institutions he felt were dehumanizing people.
"He was a man who combined
a wicked sense of humor and sort of steady moral compass, who was always sort of looking at the big picture of the things that were most important,$ ^{n}$ said Joel Bleifuss, editor of In These Times, a liberal magazine based in Chicago that featured Vonnegut articles.
"Slaughterhouse-Five" was a World War II novel embraced by opponents of the Vietnam War, linking a so-called "good war" to the unpopular conflict of the 1960s and '70s.
Some of Vonnegut's books were
banned and burned for alleged obscenity. He took on censorship as an active member of the PEN writers' aid group and the American Civil Liberties Union.
The American Humanist Association, which promotes individual freedom, rational thought and scientific skepticism, made him its honorary president.
Vonnegut said the villains in his books were never individuals, but culture, society and history, which he said were making a mess of the planet.

Media constructs needless outrage
Have you heard? Someone on the radio said something stupid.
No doubt this story has proved inescapable to you over the past few days if you seek out any kind of respectable news source. Though it seemed unthinkable that any story could displace the revelation of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter's lineage, the Don Imus story has done just that. CNN, apparently bored already with that story and the Department of Justice firings scandal, has wrapped itself in the Imus story with astonishing vigor.
Imus is not the first person in radio history to say something outrageous, and he will not be the last. Talk radio, as a forum, lends itself to unfortunate statements; endless rambling through long stretches of airtime can often produce regrettable remarks. And yes, we can all acknowledge the utterly reprehensible nature of what Imus said about the Rutgers basketball team. But this story is symptomatic of a larger trend that may prove far more disturbing: the careful manufacturing of outrage.
Social cause-based groups have in the last few years perfected the art of constructing indignation. It has become a well-honed process: wait for an offensive statement from the troubled celebrity du jour, whip your constituents into a frenzy by calling this statement indicative of a larger societal ill, and rely on the media to
report on the "widening calls" for action. Professional instigators, Al Sharpton chief among them (perhaps to distract from the now-evident error of his statements on the Duke lacrosse case), succeed by knowing exactly which emotional pitch to use with their supporters.
Media outlets are delightfully complacent in the development, gladly pushing aside war and economic news to report on the parade of apologies the tarnished celebrity must stage to curry favor with the offended groups. The outlets themselves become a bizarre echo chamber
— if two stations do stories on the "scandal," ten other stations can then breathlessly discuss the "increasing media attention," perpetuating the story even further.
And for what? CNN may lament with affected empathy the supposed theft of the team's moment, but it gleefully pushes the story hour after hour, barely masking its joy at such a salacious tale. One day soon, Imus will recede into the night as the wizened cermudgeon he has become, and the media outlets will wait, reporting dourly and begrudgingly on actual news, until the next pseudo-scandal comes along. Then the beast of manufactured outrage and formulaic anger will again arise, and the discouraging cycle will begin anew.

COMMENTARY
Extra airport precautions cause hysteria
If we change our way of life, then the terrorists have won.
Judging from the scenes at various airports, we're waving the white flag now.
After September 11, airport security ramped up considerably. More individuals were pulled out of line for examinations, carry-on luggage was randomly checked by hand and any sharp objects were now banned.
I didn't mind the new security. No one really even batted an eye after the Shoe Bomber incident, when everyone then had to remove their shoes before going through the metal detector.
No, I can say that none of the new security measures really bothered me, up until the hysteria peaked last August. British intelligence received word that a terrorist ring was planning on using liquid explosives to destroy planes in midair. On top of that, the attacks were supposedly 'imminent.' The resulting chaos was right out of a disaster movie.
All liquids and gels were banned from flights. Chapstick, makeup, eye drops, that expensive win you picked up on the Napa tour, it all got chucked into huge trash bins. London Heathrow airport turned into a veritable parking lot in the
days following the threat as delayed flights backed up while officials tried to sort out the threat. Carry-ons were banned and people had to put all personal items in a see-through plastic bag.

Even now, nearly a year later, the rules have relaxed only slightly. Some liquids are allowed, in small quantities. British airports allow you one meager carry-on when flying out of their terminals (most international flights allow for at least two). You may still get felt up at the whim of the

TSA official at your gate.
This paranoia proves to me one thing: terrorists don't have to do anything. All they have to do is say that they're going to do something, and then sit back and watch the panic hit. All it took was a little chatter (about a plot that turned out to be in its planning stages, still years off) and flights were delayed.

chatter (about a plot that turned out to be in its planning stages, still years off) and flights were delayed, travelers inconvenienced and the public generally frightened.
ents reported seeing a Mennonite woman being frisked in the airport, which included the TSA official poking through her bonnet (because that's where Mennonite women keep their explosives, you see). People at Heathrow last summer had extremely personal items (such as tampons and other unmentionables) flashed about for thousands of other people to see, their privacy virtually gone. A photo that Time magazine ran a few years ago, of a little boy being scanned by a handheld metal detector, should be Exhibit A that maybe we're taking this a little too far.
It goes without saying that airport security is extremely important and the threat of terrorism exists. I know I'd rather have to take my shoes off than be on a bombed plane. However, is it too much to ask that a little common sense be used? Or can you not?
On a trip last year, my par-
Flying is a service bought and paid for, and no one should be treated like a criminal or like cattle while using it. If any of this actually made us safer, it might be a little different. However, in the years since September 11, people have made it onto planes easily with items such as box cutters and matches. So what's the point of hassle and public humiliation if the banned items are going to get on the plane anyway? Perhaps it's time for TSA and their international counterparts to rethink their methods.
Until then, I hope you all remember the metric conversions, because you can only have 100 mL of liquid on a flight.

accomplishments, and the student entries resulted in $5,200 for the individuals.
The placings are based on the accumulation of points in six writing competitions: profile writing, sports writing, in-depth writing, spot news writing, feature writing and opinion writing.
Each eligible university can submit two students' work in each category.
"It is a tribute to the quality or students and their professors that we finished first in the Hearst national intercollegiate writing contest," said Ann Brill, dean of journalism. "We value excellence in writing and I'm proud that the Hearst judges found us to be the best among the accredited schools that participated."
The University will occupy two of the eight spots in the National Writing Championship in San Francisco in June. Frank Tankard, Overland Park senior, who placed first in in-depth writing, and C.J. Moore, Shawnee senior, who placed second in sports writing and fifth in spot news writing, have a chance at winning more than $1,500 for
competing.
Other students who contributed to KU's first-place rank were Fred A. Davis III, Topeka senior, who placed ninth in profile writing and 17th in spot news writing; Michael Phillips, Wichita senior, who placed 12th in sports writing; Mark Viertheral, Dodge City senior, who placed fifth in profile writing; and Katherine Loeck, Lincoln, Neb., junior, who placed 12th in opinion writing.
Davis's story "Latter Day Stripper," which ran in the May 10, 2006, issue of The University Daily Kansan, was about a University student who was a dancer at All Stars and was a practicing Mormon. He said the reporting experience was unlike any held done before.
"I'd been at strip clubs before, but not from a reporting standpoint," Davis said. "You always get kind of strange looks with a note pad and pen while watching strippers."

Walter Mondale, former vice president under President Jimmy Carter, gives a speech Thursday day evening at the Dole Institute of Politics. He stressed the need for mutual respect in Washington.
Bernard Dujarque
MONDALE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
He said when he and Carter were elected vice president and president in 1976, the vice presidency was viewed at that time as an "iffy office."
The vice president worked in both the executive and legislative branches of government, though the vice president was wanted in neither, he said.
He told Carter he thought he could serve the president better as a senator than as a vice president. But Carter insisted on the position and said that for the first time Mondale would be playing an integral role in the administration.
"We exercised the vice presidency," Mondale said.
He said that the expanded role of vice president has been taken too far in the current executive administration, and said that the vice president has now tried to influence various agencies about what to tell the president.
"Carter wouldn't like that," he said.
Mondale said there used to be more mutual respect between rivals in the Senate, as well as in presidential debates, compared with a more argumentative state of politics today. He
stressed the need to return to those days when honest differences were accepted among political rivals.
"It was about having an argument while accepting the good will of the opponent," he said. "This dividing America, trying to destroy each other, does not work."
He also called the Iraq-war issue the "elephant in the room" for the 2008 presidential candidates to take stands on.
Mondale said growing tensions with Iran also needed to be handled diplomatically, rather than through initial force.
The Dole Center had help bringing the vice president from his great niece, Lauren Leonard, Plymouth, Minn., sophomore, who was recognized before the lecture.
"Let's continue to put pressure on Iran to stop nuclear weapons, but let's also try to get some diplomatic talks with them," he said.

How the quarterbacks fare in the spring scrimmage could help sort out the battle for playing time that has gone on since late last season.

Afenir catches on
BY ALISSA BAUER
Assistant coach Kevin Frady overheard last year's All-American and NCBWA Stopper of the Year Don Czyz pay his former catcher a compliment when he returned to visit the team earlier this year.
"Buck, I hated throwing to you last year, but I love throwing to you this year," Czyz said.
Sophomore catcher Buck Afenir has almost completed his 180-degree turnaround from the freshman he was last year to the starting catcher he is this season. After splitting time behind the plate with senior Dylan Parzyk in 2006, Afenir has taken over the reigns this season.
In the 33 games he started and the 42 in which he saw time last year, the Atascadero, Calif. native hit just .278 with four home runs and 16 RBI. Barely halfway through the 2007 campaign, Afenir has passed his home run mark (5) and RBI (23) total and is hitting a solid .307.
"I think the turning point this year was when coach Price came up to me and was like 'What's the deal? What's going on?' at the beginning of the year when I was doing
well, but I wasn't really breaking out or anything." Afenir said. "He told me to go 100 percent. 'Nobody's going to get mad at you if go 100 percent and mess up.' And that's what I was afraid of — messing up

Evidently, it's a really good feeling. Even when coach Price rested his catcher in the final game of the Texas series last weekend, he chose to keep Afenir bait in the lineup as the

Practiced Kansas looks to break Big 12 home losing streak

Time off has been something the Kansas softball team has lacked recently — but not this week.
The Jayhawks' (27-14-1, 3-4 Big 12) only game this week against Missouri on Wednesday was canceled because of poor conditions. The game was postponed. Kansas returns to the field Saturday against No. 5 Texas A&M (31-6, 5-3) at Arrocha Ballpark.

DO THE DREW
3 running backs compete for spot
BRIAN MAYER
BY DREW DAVISON
KANSAN COLUMNIST
DDAVISON@KANSAN.COM
ll the hype surrounding the Kerry Meier/Todd Reesing quarterback situation is overshadowing the bigger question: who will step up at running back and fill Jon Cornish's shoes?
Right now, Angus Quigley, Jake Sharp and Gary Green seem to be in the mix for the starting spot. Quigley missed last season because of an injured thigh, but he appears to be the front-runner for the job.
He has the best size, at 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, and was slated to split carries with Cornish before last season.
If Kansas wants to make it back to a bowl game, Quigley will have to become the horse that carries the offense — or, possibly Jake Sharp. Last season, whenever Sharp got the ball, he was a tough runner. He averaged just over six yards a carry on 21 carries.
Between Qigley and Sharp, I expect one to become the starting running back, getting 15 to 20 carries a game, with the other getting about 10 carries a game.
While it's too early to determine just how good he'll be, the talk surrounding incoming freshman Carmon Boyd-Anderson is promising. I would not be surprised if he comes in as a dark horse and gets some carries right away.
There is also a lot of talk about the Jayhawks becoming more of a passing team — which is about as bad an idea as moving the Missouri game to Arrowhead Stadium.
There is no way Kansas will make it to a bowl game if it doesn't run the ball 30-plus times a game. It hired Ed Warinner as offensive coordinator and, on paper, it appears he is best suited for a running offense. Despite Illinois being the laughingstock of the Big Ten at 2-10 last season, Warinner's offensive line opened up running lanes as the Illini became the top rushing attack in the conference. So, why would Kansas switch to a passing offense? It just doesn't make sense.
Basically, losing the guy that ignited the jayhawk offense last season, Cornish, will be a lot tougher to replace than the quarterback competition between Meier and Reesing. I'm confident either one will be able to run the offense effectively — as long as they have a dependable guy in the backfield.
Come Sunday, during the annual spring scrimmage, how the running backs look will have a lot more influence this season than how the quarterbacks look.

TENNIS
Squad won't get break against Colorado
BY RUSTIN DODD
Sometimes the best medicine for a struggling team is a cupcake victory against a weak opponent. The problem for the Kansas tennis team is that their schedule isn't exactly doing them any favors.
After five straight losses, the Kansas Jayhawks will host No. 30 Colorado on Sunday, Colorado comes to town following two straight victories, while posting a 5-2 record in the Big 12 and 12-6 mark overall. Following a five-match slide, Kansas finds itself at 2-6 in the Big 12 and 4-13 overall.
The theme of the losing streak has been missed opportunities, and the Jayhawks missed a big one against Kansas State on Wednesday. After eight straight losses in the No. 1 and No. 2 doubles positions, junior Lauren Hommell and freshman Kunigunda Dorn ended the streak with a huge victory against Katerina Kudlackova and Olga Klimova of Kansas State at No. 2
doubles. But Kansas couldn't capitalize, as junior Elizaveta Avdeeva and sophomore Edina Horvath fell at No. 1 doubles. Kansas State gained control of the match and went on to a 5-2 victory.
Hommell and Dorn do appear to be gaining chemistry, and that bodies well for a Kansas team that has had a laundry list of troubles on the doubles court.
"We're getting better." Hommell said after her doubles victory against Kansas State. "We've been playing well at practice, just getting to know each other's game, and I'm feeling more comfortable with her in the matches."
Hommell started the season paired with Dorn but also spent time playing doubles with sophomore Yuliana Swistun and junior Stephanie Smith.
Colorado sophomore standout Monica Milewski, ranked No. 42 in the country, is one reason why Colorado sits at fifth place in the Big 12. Milewski, the ITA/Central
Region Rookie of the Year last year, has provided a solid No. 1 singles player for Colorado, boasting a 13-5 record and 5-2 in the Big 12.
Coach Amy Hall-Holt expressed her team's dissatisfaction after the match.
"They're tired of it," she said.
The lajahawks have persevered and tried to stay positive.
"We can't get down on ourselves," Stephanie Smith said earlier this week. "We have a desire to finish out the season strong."
Kansas defeated Colorado twice last season, including a 4-3 come-from-behind victory in the 1st round of Big 12 Championships. An upset win against Colorado in its last home match of the season would do wonders for a teams that is desperately in need of a victory.

Kansas heads to east coast to swim with big fish
ROWING
BY CATHERINE ODSON
The Kansas rowing team is ready for some confused looks when it travels to the East Coast this weekend.
"Usually we get, 'You're from Kansas. There's water there?' " junior rower Annie Sims said.
Even random people in the airport have questioned whether the team had water to practice on in the past, senior rower Tiffany Jeffers said.
"Obviously we do," she said.
Coach Rob Catloth said the "geographical misconception" provided humorous motivation for the team
as it prepared for the Knecht Cup on Saturday and Sunday in Camden, N.J.
Sims said the regatta was an

week's U.S. Rowing Poll.
Senior coxswain Samira Naji said the team was ready to race against teams from outside the Midwest.
"Usually we get, 'You're from Kansas. There's water there?' "
Kansas 12 year-old rowing program will race against long-established and recognized programs from across the country, including Gonzaga, whose varsity eight boat got votes in this
ANNIE SIMS Junior rower
"The East Coast mentality of rowing is really competitive, and it's nice to get a taste of that," senior coxswain Samira Naji said.
The team practiced in back-up boats Thursday because the competition boats had already left for New Jersey on a trailer.
More than 50 schools will compete at the Knecht Cup. Kansas will race against three to five boats in each race and have to advance through preliminary races to reach
the grand finals.
The large field — 29 first varsity eight boats will compete in five heats will allow Kansas the opportunity to match up with teams that don't race in the Midwest.
Catloth said this weekend's races could set the tone for the rest of the season.
Larger races tended to be more exciting and faster because there was more competition, she said, but there was also more to pay attention to.
"It will be a good test of where we are because we haven't had any big races," Jeffers said.
Kansas last traveled to the Knecht Cup in 2005. The Jayhawks' varsity four boat won its grand finals race, and three other boats placed second in grand finals races.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Kansas secures final class commitments for 2007
The women's basketball team completed its 2007 signing class Thursday, securing commitments from three high school seniors. The signees are Krysten Boogaard, Nicollette Smith and Chakeitha Weldon.
Boogaard graduated from high school one year ago and should be able to handle the transition to Big 12 Conference basketball smoothly to an extra year of experience playing at the Canadian National Elite Development Academy.
Smith is a McDonald's All-American nominee who shot 34 percent from three-point range during her high school career.
Weldon averaged 17 points per game as a senior in high school. The McDonald's All-American shot 87 percent from the free throw line.

hand, didn't care much for Price's interest.
"I wouldn't say he got bent out of shape," Afenir said. "But at first when I first started talking to coach Price, he was like 'No. I'm not sending my son 1,600 miles away.'"
Admittedly a mama's boy, Atenr said his mom, Beth, wasn't wild about her son moving to the Midwest either. But when the family met Price and took a campus visit, the decision for Afenir to become a Jayhawk was much easier.
Adjusting to life half the country away from home wasn't quite as easy. Afenir confessed to dealing with bouts of homesickness.
"It was just weird. I had so many different things I was always worrying about — like I had a girlfriend back home," Afenir said. "That was just so tough with the long distance, and I was trying to keep in touch with everybody back home. It's weird, but you've kind of just got to let it go."
The difficulty of balancing that and preparing to be a starting catcher in the Big 12 Conference caught up to the freshman. After being able to rely on raw talent in high school, as
he put it. Afenir's level of play and the offensive power that Price recruited him for became inconsistent.
Price said that a lot of the time the players with the most intelligence are the ones who beat themselves up the most. The happy-go-lucky attitude that Frady uses to describe Afenir's attitude in 2007 was much different in 2006.
"Last year, I'd have some little streak and then suck, then have another little streak," Afenir said. "I think this year consistency is the main thing. It's just fun. Knowing that I'm out there with my best friends is
really helpful."
Now, the guy who likes to take naps before games and thinks of his mom watching during televised games, is hitting his stride. He no longer feels threatened by the thought of being replaced by another of the Jayhawks' four catchers. Although Frady and Price have never completely ruled that out and even discuss the need for improvement in his throwing. However, besides to break Afenir of calling him "dude" and "bro", Frady is happy with the sophomore and his showing of the confidence he believes his catchers should have.
Times changed
"You see him in the locker room, he's always got a smile, always got that devilish grin on his face and you wonder what the heck is going on upstairs," Frady said. "But I think that's what makes him successful."
The starting times of two Kansas baseball games this weekend have been changed in anticipation of more cold weather. Today's game will begin at 4 p.m. and Saturday's game will begin at 1 p.m. Sunday's game will still be at 1 p.m.

Kansas is led offensively by sophomore shortstop Stevie Crisosto, who is leads the team in batting average (.346), runs (29) and hits (44).
Sophomore catcher Elle Pottorf is leading the team in home runs (8) and runs batted in (33).
Defensively the Jayhawks have 46 errors this season. They committed 60 total errors last year and hope to stay under that number with 15 regular season games left.
Senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys has been a machine for the pitching staff. She has thrown for 130 total innings, struck out 153 batters and held a 2.10 ERA.

At Airocha Ballpark, humans won't be the only voices cheering for the Jayhawks in this weekend's softball series against Texas A&M.
On Sunday, fans are encouraged to bring their dogs to participate in Bark in the Park.
Dogs will be admitted with a donation to the Lawrence Humane Society.
A few items acceptable for instance are rabbit/ferret food, blankets/towels, laundry detergent, dish soap, can openers and cash.
Fans looking to adopt a pet should stop by the ballpark because the Lawrence Humane Society will also have dogs on-hand looking for a new home.
Fans will be given a Bark in the Park frisbee following the game. All dog handlers must follow Bark in the Park rules and sign a release form.

BIG 12 BASEBALL
Baylor built on underclassmen Freshman MLB-drafted outfielder leads youthful team
BY SHAWN SHROYER
The layhawks know a thing or two about playing in the Big 12 Conference with a young team.
Every weekend Kansas has no more than two seniors in its starting lineup, compared to as many as four underclassmen. Its weekly rotation consists of two sophomores and a junior, not mentioning that a sophomore serves as the team's closer.
However, Kansas won't receive any sympathy.
any sympathy this weekend from Baylor
When healthy, the Bears feature three freshmen and three sophomores in their starting lineup, dwarfing the three seniors who round out the lineup. As a result, the Bears
men like Miller, things are improving in Waco.
"Our guys are playing hard and learning with each time out. Injuries are our latest hurdle to climb."
As one of only two players who have started every game for the Bears, Miller is first or second on the team in almost every major offensive category. He leads Baylor with 32 RBI, a .428 on-base percentage and 20 walks. He is second in batting average, hits, triples, total bases and slugging percentage.
"Most schools don't get to go through something like this with so many freshmen starting," Miller said. "It's gelled really well. The seniors, the upperclassman, have accepted us really well. We're all pulling toward that common goal of coming out and winning some games."
Given their youth, winning hasn't come easy for the Bears this season. Halfway through the conference schedule, Baylor (19-16, 4-8) is tied with Kansas (18-20, 4-8) for last place in the Big 12. But with fresh-

including outfielder Aaron Miller,
who has emerged as a team leader.
"Aaron continues to get better at the plate and in the field," Baylor coach Steve Smith said. "He has

done a remarkable job hitting in the middle of the order, especially for a freshman."
Coming from a player who was drafted in the 11th round of the 2006 MLB Draft and ranked the No. 3 freshman in the
“There’s always pressure,” Miller said. “But growing up, I've always been one of those players who've been looked at, not to carry a team, but to be a proven provider for a team. I don't know what it feels like not to have that pressure.”
nation by Baseball America, though, these numbers aren't surprising. In fact, the greater the pressure, the more Miller expects from himself.
Secondbaseman RaynorCampbell has become a regular starter for the Bears and is tied with Miller for the second best average on the team.
Following Miller's lead, other freshmen are stepping up.
In Baylor's weekend rotation, right-hander Kendal Volz (4-1) has assumed the Sunday starter role and is the only weekend starter for the Bears with a winning record. He clinched the Oklahoma series last weekend, allowing an unearned run in seven innings while striking out seven.
Dustin Dickerson has played first base and designated hitter for Baylor and, despite a 250 average, has scored 17 runs this season.
The Bears' best hitter, sophomore shortstop Beamer Weems has missed the teams' last four games because of a hamstring injury and Campbell has been in and out of the lineup with a similar injury. Miller has played through a groin injury all season.
"Our guys are playing hard and learning with each time out," Smith said. "Injuries are our latest hurdle to climb."
Still, the Bears aren't feeling sorry for themselves. With No. 6 Texas, No. 15 Oklahoma State and No. 23 Oklahoma out of the way. Baylor is primed to climb the Big 12 standings.
"That's baseball. You're always going to have little nagging injuries," Miller said. "It's frustrating for everybody, but I think we're over the hump now."
And just as he's become a team leader at the plate, Miller is leading by example in the clubhouse.

Ensuring player eligibility

As athletes consider draft, organization monitors activity

》 COMPLIANCE
Iulian Wright declared himself eligible for the NBA draft earlier this week and other Kansas players, namely Brandon Rush, continue to weigh their options. But almost as important as determining their draft potential is maintaining their eligibility should they decide to return.
Theresa Becker, associate athletics director for compliance, said her staff worked actively with student athletes to ensure that they under-

stood what could negate their eligibility. While it is legal to have an adviser during the process, that adviser could be considered an agent if they market the player to a professional team. Any written or verbal agreements made regarding representation or any type of benefit received by the player could also cause a loss of eligibility.
Becker said that one problem was athletes that received gifts from agents.
"I also tell them whatever you do, do not accept benefits, I don't care if it's a can of soda. I don't care if it's a slice of pizza. I don't care if it's a ride from the gym to your dorm. Do not accept anything from an agent. Period. Just do not do it," she said.
For Compliance, ensuring the
"I also tell them whatever you do, do not accept benefits. I don't care if it's a can of soda. I don't care if it's a slice of pizza."
Becker said it seemed very simple, athletes shouldn't agree to hire anyone or sign anything in order to avoid forfeiting their elegibility.

"But you'd be surprised at how twisted some things can get. Some
er ensuring the eligibility of University athletes is a full-timejob.Kansas Athletics employs five full-time compliance employees, as well as a law intern and a graduate assistant. Becker said they planned to hire another graduate assistant soon. When she arrived in November 2005, there were only two compliance employees. A larger staff allows more careful analysis of potential issues on a case by case basis, as well as constant education for players, coaches and administrators.
With a 450-page rule book that is amended annually, questions
about interactions between agents and college athletes are only a small portion of what the compliance staff deals with.
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said doing research in advance helped avoid problems later.
"A line-by-line knowledge of the NCAA rule book is not critical, but you have to know enough to say, 'Hey, wait a minute, that might not be permissible by NCAA rules so let me check with compliance', " he said. "Our motto is 'Ask before you act.'"
When it comes to basketball players trying to determine their draft prospects, the consequences can be harsh if they make an agreement with an agent or accept any type of compensation.
"Professional sports organizations, they know the rules, professional sports agents, they know the rules," Becker said. "Unfortunately, once they get a student athlete to cross the line, technically, there's no going back.
"At an institution like the University of Kansas, we're fortunate enough to deal with this on a yearly basis," she said.

Junior offensive lineman Chet Hartley is another fresh face sure to make an impact early in his Kansas career. Hartley, a 6-foot-4, 315-
pound transfer from Butler County Community College, should provide size on the interior of the offensive line.

Quigley's size and athleticism is unquestionable. Now he must prove that he possesses the durability to stay on the field. After putting on an impressive performance in last year's spring game, he sat out the entire season with a serious leg injury. Depending on how his recovery progresses, Quigley has an outside shot at taking the starting running back spot away from sophomore Jake Sharp.

four key position battles
1. Running back
The competition to follow in the footsteps of Jon Cornish is between sophomores Jake Sharp and Angus Quigley. Sharp was effective in a limited role last season, but was also questionable because of his small stature. But he has gained more than 10 pounds since arriving at Kansas in an effort to become a full-time player. Quigley is a player with boundless potential. He returned from a serious leg injury that wiped out his entire 2006 season.
The most publicized position battle is between sophomores Kerry Meier and Todd Reesing. As the end of this spring season approaches, neither has taken a significant lead against the other. It may come down to which player fits the faster-paced offense Kansas has instituted. The two will take the majority of the snaps at the spring game and will give fans the opportunity to see the prospects head-to-head. This battle likely won't be decided until late August.
2. Defensive line
3. Quarterback
No unit lost more this offseason than the defensive line. Senior tackle James McClinton is the only returning starter. Sophomore Caleb Blakesley looks like the frontrunner at the second tackle position. But the defensive end situation is a little more interesting. Passrush specialists junior Russell Brorsen and sophomore Max Onygebule are competing for one spot, while sophomore Jeff Wheeler and junior John Larson are the candidates for the opposite position.
4. Cornerback
One of the most frustrating parts of the 2006 season was the Jayhaws' inability to put two reliable cornerbacks on the field. First Team All-Big 12 nominee Agib Talib was sensational on his side of the field, but the ever-changing cast of characters at the number two spot was lackluster. Sophomore Anthony Webb, who struggled through much of last season, could be replaced by junior Kendrick Harper. Harper, a junior college transfer, has a reputation for making big hits and exciting plays.

>> NFL
Chiefs face tough schedule
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs had better be healthy and at the top of their game in the middle of the 2007 season.
NFL schedule-makers have made sure the start and the end of the year will be mostly road assignments for a team that seems always to have trouble winning away from home.
The key stretch will be between Oct. 7 and Dec. 2 when they play six of eight at home, including matchups against AFC West rivals San Diego and Denver.
On those weekends when they are at home, with perennial sellouts at always-loud and festive Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs believe they create one of the most exciting game-day atmospheres in the NFL. That contention was backed up by the rousing victory over Denver last year when the Chiefs hosted the Broncos on Thanksgiving night, a few weeks before the death of founder Lamar Hunt.
Even NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, on hand for the first live telecast of the NFL Network, complimented the team on the big crowd and the colorful ambiance of Arrowhead.
But in a disappointment for fans as well as team executives, there'll be no Monday night games for Kansas City this season, home or away.
Save for a Sunday nighter at the New York Jets on the final weekend, there are no scheduled national appearances at all.
They do get their bye week at a good time — on Oct. 28, seven games into the season. And every home game is a noon kickoff, another attractive feature for most ticket-buyers.
But other than that, there is much for fans and coaches not to like. The Chiefs, who finished 9-7 last year and lost to Indianapolis in the first playoff round, are on the road for their first two games, at Houston and the defending NFC champion Bears.
Then they're on the road for
their final two games, at Detroit and at the Jets.
They don't taste home cooking until the Minnesota Vikings come calling on Sept. 23, the first day of autumn. And they have their final home game on Dec. 16 when the Tennessee Titans and quarterback Vince Young pay a visit.
The Chiefs are the only team in the NFL that'll begin the year playing three of their first four on the road. And besides Kansas City, only New Orleans and Atlanta do not get to play a home game until their third week.
Dallas and Pittsburgh are the only other clubs that'll be on the road for three of their last four.
The Chiefs do get a break on Nov. 4, their first game after their bye. They'll host the Green Bay Packers right after the Packers have played a Monday night game on the road.
But on consecutive Sundays — Oct. 7 and Oct. 14 the Chiefs will host Jacksonville and Cincinnati as those teams come off their own bye week.

KC Wizards hire midfielder

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Erik Martin, an assistant coach at Kansas State, will follow boss Bob Huggins to West Virginia University.
BY STEVE BRISENDINE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OVERLAND PARK - The Kansas City Wizards, who have sought a playmaking midfielder for almost five months, have signed Argentinian Carlos Marinelli to fill the position.
Marinelli, who has played at the top level in Argentina, England, Italy and Portugal, was introduced Tuesday at the team's practice facility.
Martin, 35, also played for Huggins from 1991 to 1993, when he coached Cincinnati.
"Erik brings the same confidence coaching as he did as a player," Huggins said Thursday. "Erik was an

"He's a guy that very rarely loses the ball," Onalfo said. "He's a guy that can play the ball with one or two players on him and find a way to keep it, and he's going to put balls on our forwards' feet and enable them to score."
That's a capability the Wizards haven't had in recent seasons, Sealy said.

"For the past two years that I've been here, we've lacked someone who was capable of setting the tempo of a game and finding that final pass to the forwards, so that the forwards just need to make that one touch and score." Sealy said. "From what I've seen, Carlos is the kind of guy who is willing to go get the ball and make that happen. It's definitely a step in the right direction."

It could be a while, though, before Marinelli takes the field for the Wizards. He has been working out with the team since last week, but hasn't played since a two-game stint with Braga near the end of the 2005-06 season.
The Wizards will be counting on him to run the offense and get the ball to their forward tandem of the United States' Eddie Johnson and

Battling for last place in the Big 12, the Jayhawks will have to take the series from the Bears to switch them spots in the standings. Kansas is currently dead last in the race right behind Bavlor, but both hold the same 4-8 conference record. Coach Ritch Price has continually said that if his team could win five conference series they will make another trip to the NCAA tournament. If Price's statement rings true, the Jayhawks will need to win all of their Big 12 series from here on out.

Kansas ranks seventh in the Big 12 with a .288 team average compared to Baylor's lock on the last place spot. All eight, minus the rotating designated hitter, of the Jayhawks starting position players have knocked out at least one home run, giving them a team total of 34. Kansas bats get particularly hot against Texas schools, as the 'Hawks scored 29 runs against No. 16 Texas A&M and outscored Texas 25-23 in their three-game series last weekend. The Jayhawks (167) walk more than the Bears (144), and strikeout less (277-286).

PITCHING
Sophomore lefty Andy Marks (3-3) is the only Jayhawk pitcher to register on the Big 12 Conference leader board. In 49.0 innings of work, the Sunday starter has sat 60 oapposing batters down on strikes. Marks has also given up the most home runs by far with 11, including three to the Longhorns in his last time out. The Jayhawks 5.13 ERA ranks last in the Big 12, and although the Kansas bats have blasted 34 home runs out, the Kansas pitchers have allowed 34 home runs to match. The strikeout to walk ratio is in favor of the 'Hawks, at nearly 3 to 1.

Outside of a 22-1 thrashing of Texas Southern last month, Baylor's offense has been tame. In 35 games this season, Baylor is averaging 6.2 runs a game. Counting their 22-run outing, the Bears have scored in double-digits eight times, but just once during Big 12 play. It hasn't helped that Baylor's leading hitter, shortstop Beamer Weems, hasn't played in more than a week because of a hamstring injury. Weems leads the Bears with a .328 batting average, 40 hits, nine doubles, four home runs, 67 total bases, and a .549 slugging percentage. Outfieldder Aaron Miller is close behind with a .322 average, 38 hits, two home runs, 61 total bases and a .517 slugging percentage. He leads the team with nine doubles, 32 RBI and a .428 on-base percentage.

PITCHING
Baylor's lack of production on offense has put added pressure on the pitching staff and the results have been mixed. Baylor hasn't allowed more than eight runs to non-conference opponents, but it has allowed double-digit runs to Big 12 opponents four times. In their four conference wins, the Bears are allowing only 3.5 runs per game, but in their eight losses, they're allowing 9.6 runs per game. Of Baylor's weekend starters, only Kendal Volz (4-1) has a winning record. However, he has the worst ERA of the three at 5.35. Jeff Mandel (4-5) and Randal
Linebaugh (2-4), Baylor's other weekend starters, have 4.32 and 4.65 respective ERAs. Nick Cassavechia is the man out of the bullpen with a 2.28 ERA, .230 BAA and six saves. He also has 36 strikeouts to merely four walks.

Baylor didn't put on an impressive show Tuesday, but the Bears enter Lawrence after a fairly successful five-game home stand where they went 3-2. Last weekend, Baylor took two of three from Oklahoma for its second Big 12 series victory, Tuesday, Baylor left 12 men on base and lost 6-3 to TCU.

This series pits the Big 12's cellar dwellers against one another, but doesn't necessarily feature the two worst teams in the conference. Both Baylor and Kansas are talented, young teams that are coming into their own after navigating tough early Big 12 schedules. Both have already played No. 6 Texas and No. 15 Oklahoma State. Baylor has played No. 23 Oklahoma and Kansas has played No. 16 Texas A&M and No. 25 Missouri. The team that's grown up the most will get out of last place in the conference.
STAR WATCH
Freshman outfielder Aaron Miller has already stepped up as a leader for the Bears. Despite battling a groin injury, he hasn't missed a game all season. A cog in Baylor's lineup, he is near the top of every offensive category for the Bears and leads the team with 32 RBI and a .428 on-base percentage. In high school, Miller predominantly pitched and played first base, but he's flourishing as a full-time outfielder with only two errors this season.

QUESTION MARK
The biggest question for Baylor this weekend is whether its middle infield will be intact. Starting shortstop Beamer Weems hasn't played since April 3 because of a hamstring injury. That same day, starting second baseman Raynor Campbell re-aggravated his hamstring injury and, although he played last weekend, he was out of the lineup Tuesday.
5 QUICK FACTS
2 - The number of times Baylor has been swept out of four Big 12 series this season.
9 - The number of teams in the conference with a better team batting average than Baylor's 277 average.
20 - The number of triples by the Bears offense, which leads the conference.
251 - The number of strikeouts by Baylor pitchers, which ranks eighth in the conference.

CANADA
As evenly matched as Kansas and Baylor appear on paper, this series could very well hinge on the final game of the weekend. Marks comes into the series as one of the top strikeout pitchers in the Big 12, with 60 in 49 innings pitched. Marks, with a 6.98 ERA, has struggled to keep opponents from crossing home plate. Last weekend he allowed only four hits to Texas, but three were home runs. As for Volz, since joining Baylor's weekend rotation March 10, his starts have been erratic. In three out of five starts during that time frame, he's lasted no more than three innings, allowing 14 runs in 7.1 innings. The other two starts, though, he allowed only one unearned run and struck out 11 in 12 innings. Depending on which versions of Marks and Volz show up, Sunday's game could be a low-scoring affair or a scoring hopper
could be a low-scoring affair or a scoring bonanza.

Making her mark
Original February Sister remains active in anti-war protests
BY BETHANY BUNCH
It's noon on Saturday and Caroljean Brune — CJ to her friends — stands in front of the Douglas County Courthouse on Massachusetts Street, a white peace flag in hand. She has shown up every Saturday for the last four years to protest the war in Iraq.
Brune is one of those rare activists who came of age on the KU campus in the turbulent 1960s and
On a similar afternoon 37 years ago, Brune chained herself to the front of the KU Military Science Building to protest the war in Vietnam.
is still active today. She was arrested three times during protests when she was a student here, including the takeover of a building by a group of feminists now known as the February Sisters. Today, she is a KU employee, working for the same University that expelled her for her political radicalism. During the week, she is business manager of the School of Education. But on Saturdays, she puts on her jeans, grabs her white peace flag and heads for the anti-war rally on Massachusetts Street.
The Lawrence home she's had since 1970 is a living history of her activist past, its walls displaying
black and white photos of past rallies, vintage protest posters, bumper stickers and pins, its garage stuffed with old campaign signs.
Sitting cross-legged in front of a wall of books. Brune tells her story.
"it's really gigglesome, the things I did," Brune said.
Brune was on the "graduate in eight" plan. She enrolled at the University of Kansas in the summer of 1964 and received an undergraduate degree in psychology in 1972.
Getting kicked out of school three times, getting married and having two kids slowed down her undergraduate process, but she regrets nothing from her past.
"Looking back, it was really worth it." Brune said.
Brune married a good friend after her first year of college. She said they both knew it wouldn't last and they later divorced. However, she said she still valued the relationship because her two sons came from the marriage, Gregor Brune, 40, Brune's oldest and only living child, works at the Lawrence Public Library. Her younger son Charlie died in his sleep from a seizure shortly after turning 25. Brune went on to receive an MBA from the University. She's been the School

Government action wanted
BY TYLER HARBERT
Cities all over the nation participated Saturday in the National Day of Climate Action that asked Congress to "step it up" and reduce carbon emissions by 80 percent by the year 2050.
Lawrence was one of those cities, and the KU Environs was one of the organizations that helped plan an afternoon march on Massachusetts Street from South Park to the Riverfront Plaza, a tour
of the Bowersock Mills and Power Company on the Kansas River, and two different speaker's panels. All of the events were a combined effort to raise awareness and appeal to legislators about climate change.
Environs president Nicole Reiz, Wichita senior, organized about 100 protesters in South Park on the east side of the park gazezo for a premarch picture that would be sent to the national Step It Up program and

Spotlight Four Square Club on Organizations
BY AMRUTA BHADKAMKAR
As the weather becomes less forbidding and more cheerful, most students are on the lookout for outdoor games that can be played without costing an arm and leg and do not require too much expertise. This is where four-square comes in.
For the beginner, four-square is basically a game that is played by four people on a square court divided into four squares. The objective is to work from the lowest square into the highest square by eliminating players in higher-ranking squares.
It is easy to learn and is cheap because the only equipment needed

"The mission of the club is to spread and promote four-square and all its silliness to all on the University campus", John Nguyen, the president of the club, said. "This silliness and fun will be passed on to others through the great childhood 'sport' of four-square."

CAMPUS University moves to 44th in research rankings
CAMPUS
BROCK POTUCEK Hutchinson junior
The University of Kansas spent $111 million on federally funded research in 2005, propelling it to its highest ranking ever in a recent National Science Foundation study.
The foundation, a federal research agency, compared the research expenditures of public universities and rated the University 44th overall. Jim Roberts, vice provost for research, said the University's ranking has increased 11 places in the past 10 years.
Roberts said the ranking was a measure of a university's ability to do research, which depended on the University's more than 600 researchers earning valuable federal research grants. He said the University supported researchers by investing in laboratories and equipment and by helping them write grant proposals.
"It says we're moving up relative to other universities," Roberts said, "and we'd like to keep it that way."
"What makes a great research university is the research itself." Roberts said. "It's one of the key missions of the University."

WAR IN IRAQ
Bombs ravage Baghdad,
attacks kill at least 45
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Cars, minibuses and roadside bombs exploded in Shiite Muslim enclaves across the city Sunday, killing at least 45 people in sectarian violence that defied the Baghdad security crackdown, while a radical anti-U.S. cleric raised a new threat to Iraq's government.
Two officials close to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr said his followers would quit their six Cabinet posts Monday — a move that could leave Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's already weak administration without enough support to stay in power.

Groundwater decline could jeopardize farms, towns
BY NATHAN GILL
A recent survey of Kansas aquifers, vital to the existence of farms, towns and industries in western and central Kansas, showed a trend of continuing decline last year. In some areas aquifers averaged a drop of more than two feet.
"I'd argue that it's the biggest natural resource issue facing Kansas," Rex Buchanan, associate director of the Kansas Geological Survey, said about declining Kansas groundwater sources. "Kansas depends more on groundwater than on any other state in the country."
The annual survey, performed by the Kansas Geological Survey, based at the University of Kansas, and the Kansas Department of Agriculture measured the depths of about 1.400 high-volume Kansas wells. Buchanan said major factors that influence water levels were precipitation rates, energy costs associated with pumping water and corn prices.
Brownie Wilson, a Kansas Geological Survey researcher who assisted in the survey, said that most groundwater in
western Kansas was used to irrigate large farms, but that industries and towns depended on aquifers as primary water sources as well.
"They pour you a glass of water in a restaurant, it comes from the ground." Wilson said.
Mark Rude, executive director of Groundwater Management District No. 3 in southwest Kansas, said that 95 percent of the water used in his district went to irrigating crops and that half of Kansas' irrigated crop acres were in his district. He said that a rise in corn prices, fueled by the ethanol boom, has caused farmers to plant more corn, a non-native plant that depends on extensive irrigation to survive in the dry Kansas west. Recent droughts, which force farmers to rely more on aquifers, are also contributing to the decline, Rude said.
"It's going to be pumped, so we're going to see more declines," said Rude, whose district has half a dozen planned or existing ethanol plants.
Sharon Falk, manager of Groundwater Management District No.5 in central Kansas, said aquifers in her district have seen significant
declines since 2000, mostly because of drought. She said the state's main tool for water management was certifications called water rights that dictate the rate, quantity and place groundwater can be used.
Falk said that if farmers or other groundwater users pumped more from their wells than their water right allowed, the state could force them to adopt a conservation plan, fine them up to $1,000 or, if a habitual offender, temporarily shut down their farm.
"We're aggressively addressing that problem more and more every year," Falk said. "It's the life blood of this area."
Kansas groundwater experts at the various management districts and Kansas Groundwater Survey are unsure how long Kansas groundwater would last.
"There's a lot of things in flux here, but one thing that's staying constant is our depletion of water," Rude said.

Write-in votes show creativity, opinions of students
STUDENT SENATE ELECTION
If the NBA doesn't work out, Julian Wright may want to consider a career in campus politics.
The junior forward was on students' minds last week for more than his announcement that he would enter the 2007 NBA Draft: They tried to elect him into Student Senate.
When the votes were tallied in last week's Student Senate elections, the results showed that United Students' Hannah Love and Ray Wittlinger had won the president and vice president seats. An opposing party, Delta Force, had taken control of 13 junior/senior seats.
Lurking behind those names, however, was a long list of write-in candidates ranging from the legitimate — students who ran independent of a coalition — to the absurd, including Wright and others like him. It's a common election day theme, and the Student Senate election was no different.
Athletes were among the most popular write-ins, including both professionals and Jayhaws. Wright's four nominations were joined by nods for teammates Mario Chalmers, Russell Robinson, Brandon Rush and former Kansas forward Christian Moody. KU football players past and present also found their way onto ballots. Incoming wide receiver
Xavier Rambo caught a vote, while former players David Ochoa, Banks Floodman and Kevin Kane also received attention. Students voted for Kansas football coach Mark Mangino and Baby Jay, too. Former NBA stars Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone did receive votes but were not elected.
John Cross, who ran for president with the Delta Force coalition, said ridiculous write-in votes at least brought people to the polls.
"It's too bad they didn't have a chance to educate themselves on what Student Senate does," Cross said. "But I don't think they'd take the time just to write about Chuck Norris and joke about it later."
Cross kept a good sense of humor about write-in ballots.
"It's always fun looking through the write-ins," Cross said. "I personally was pulling for Stephen Colbert, but he didn't get his seat."
Fictional characters did well in the polls, especially those in the puppet demographic. Four members of The Muppets received votes, along with Mickey Mouse, Scooby-Doo and Captain America.
Television personalities Mr. Ed, Grizzly Adams, Paula Abdul, the aforementioned Steven Colbert and Chuck Norris were popular picks.
A number of nominations were derogatory toward Student Senate and the election in general. A few
voters voiced their opinions with write-in votes such as "I won't accomplish anything" and "Campus politics suck."
Some of the most bizarre nominations included Black Republican Robot, Susan B. Anthony, the State of Vermont, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and God.
"I'm not sure why people who voted for Chuck Norris didn't just vote for me." Cross said, "because we're pretty much the same person."

Casino-and-slot law passes
Dog, horse tracks could have machines in place by fall if all goes as planned
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Supporters made quick work of enacting a casino-and-slots law, taking it from behind-the-scenes legislative negotiations to the statute books in less than a month. But a rapid start for the gambling isn't a sure bet.
The new law takes effect Thursday and permits resort casinos in Ford County, Wyandotte County, either Cherokee or Crawford County and either Sedgwick or Sumner county. Up to 2,800 slot machines eventually could be distributed among Wichita Greyhound Park, the nowclosed Camptown Greyhound Park in Frontenac and the Woodlands dog- and horse-racing park in Kansas City.
In theory, it's possible for the first of three dog and horse tracks to have slot machines in place by the fall, but it would require no regulatory or legal bumps, making the start of 2008 a more likely date. The four casino-and-hotel complexes contemplated by the law aren't likely to open until at least 2009, and that's being optimistic.
"I don't know how much time it's going to take to settle the legal questions, but it is going to take some time," said Senate Majority Leader Derek Schmidt (R-Independence) who voted for the gambling bill. "None of this is surprising. It's just now people are focused on it because it's a reality."
There are small unknowns, such as the time the Kansas Lottery will give potential casino developers to file proposals for building and managing the casinos. And there's one huge unknown: whether a lawsuit will cause big delays.
The law will require a county's voters to approve the new gambling, and Crawford County already has. Sedgwick County plans an election in August, and Wyandotte County expects to have one this summer.
The suddenness with which supporters of the new gambling swept away 15 years of legislative failure has inspired some optimism. As of March 19, their proposal didn't exist on paper, at least not in a form that a committee could review, and 10 days later, it had passed both chambers.
"Personally, I think slot machines could be operating by fall here in Kansas City," said Sen. Chris Steineger (D-Kansas City).
But many of the law's other supporters and the officials who will have to put it into effect think such talk is overly optimistic.
Once the law is in effect, the lottery has until May 19 to spell out its procedures for taking casino applications. It also can start working with the tracks' owners on proposed contracts for their slot machine operations.
The lottery will own both the slot machines and the new resort casinos, and the slots will be linked to a central lottery computer. However, the law contemplates that private companies will build and manage the casinos and the banks of slot machines at the tracks.
Once it accepts casino applications, the lottery has 90 days to negotiate contracts for each casino zone, with multiple, competing proposals likely to emerge from those talks. A seven-member review board will pick a single proposal for each
zone within 60 days. But the law doesn't give the lottery a deadline for accepting proposals, and the question hasn't been settled.
The process for slots at the tracks is simpler because the lottery expects to
Also, track owners anticipate ming some renovations. Phil: Ruf whose company owns both Camptown and Wichita greyhot parks, said he expects to spend million getting them ready for machines.
In addition, Ruffin predict would take 90 days to get the dreds of slots that will be inst each location.

negotiate with track owners. But Director Ed Van Petten said the lottery won't be able to sign any contracts until each county has its vote.
"We've got to make sure that we have the appropriate regulatory framework in place."
"We've got to make sure that we have the appropriate regulatory framework in place," said Steve Martino, the commission's executive director. "I don't know how long that's going to take us, but it will be longer than sometime this summer."

>> ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
Case to be decided by jury
Sixth-largest diocese faces $150 million molestation lawsuit
BY FRANK ELTMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINEOLA, N.Y. — The nations sixth-largest Roman Catholic diocese is headed to trial this week in a $150 million lawsuit accusing church officials of recklessness for employing a youth minister who raped and sodomized teenagers.
But despite its familiar scenario of youths abused by religious leaders, this case is unique: It could be one of the few decided by a jury, rather than a quiet, out-of-court settlement.
The U.S. Conference of Bishops estimates abuse-related costs from lawsuits have exceeded $1.5 billion, the majority out-of-court settlements.
Many of the alleged acts took place so long ago their statutes of limitations have expired.

The case
with opening statements set for Monday involves Matthew Maiello, who pleaded guilty to rape and sodomy in 2003 and served more than two years in prison. But the real focus is St. Raphael's Church in East Meadow, its pastor, the Rev. Thomas Haggerty, and the Diocese of Rockville Centre.
"This is about who let the lions loose," said attorney Michael Dowd.
who represents two plaintiffs — a man and a woman — who claimed church officials failed to act when confronted with reports that they were repeatedly molested by Maiello as teenagers.
"Our allegations are that the church was not only negligent but reckless in its handling of the employment of Maiello," said Dowd. "There were warning signs ... that weren't dealt with at all by the pastor."
Concerns about Miaelle's activities were raised at a December 1999 meeting with Haggerty, but the matter was dropped and no action taken, the lawsuit contends.
Diocesan spokesman Sean Dolan did not return a telephone call seeking comment.
Brian Davey, an attorney representing the pastor, the parish and the diocese, declined to comment on the lawsuit.
"We don't try our cases in the newspaper," he said. "We try in them in the courtroom."
Although named as a defendant, Maiello's attorney, Lawrence Carra, said his client would not contest the allegations and would abide by any verdict.

Attorney General apologizes before Senate appearance
BY LARA JAKES JORDAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, fighting to save his job, said in a prepared Senate testimony Sunday he has "nothing to hide" in the firings of eight federal prosecutors but claimed a hazy memory about his involvement in them.
Two Republican senators said Gonzales has yet to shore up his credibility amid shifting explanations of his role in the dismissals. Vice President Dick Cheney reaffirmed White House support for the attorney general — but left it to Gonzales to defend himself to lawmakers who have called for his resignation.

rassing the eight U.S. attorneys and their families by letting their ousters erupt into a political firestorm that has engulfed the Justice Department since January. He maintained the firings were not improper, but said he remembers having only an indirect role in the plans beyond approving them.
"I have nothing to hide, and I am committed to assuring the Congress and the American public that nothing improper occurred here," Gonzales said in prepared testimony released before he appears Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The panel, which oversees the Justice Department, is investigating whether the firings were politically motivated.
"I am sorry for my missteps that have helped to fuel the controversy," he said.

Gonzales added: "In hindsight, I would have handled this differently. ... Looking back, it is clear to me that I should have done more personally to ensure that the review process was more rigorous, and that each U.S. attorney was informed of this decision in a more personal and respectful way."
Cheney said he and President Bush continue to have "every confidence" in Gonzales and looked forward to hearing his testimony. Lawmakers also are questioning what role White House officials, including chief political strategist Karl Rove, played in the firings.
"This took place inside the Justice Department," Cheney said on "Face the Nation" on CBS. "The one who needs to answer to that and lay out on the record the specifics of what transpired is the attorney general, and he'll do so."
GOP Sens. Arlen Specter and Lindssey Graham said Gonzales has a difficult battle ahead in convincing the public he can lead the Justice Department.
"The No. 1 question is, is he capable of administering the Department of Justice, did he have enough hands on to know what's happening?" said Specter of Pennsylvania, the Senate panel's top Republican. "Can he explain why these individuals were
"He's got a steep hill to climb," Specter said. "He's going to be successful only if he deals with the facts."
Graham (R-S.C.) said he believed Gonzales can save his job. Still, the attorney general has "an uphill struggle to re-establish his credibility with the committee given prior statements."
Specter spoke on ABC's "This Week," and Graham appeared on "Fox News Sunday."
"He needs to explain what he did and why he did it," Graham said. "There are three or four different versions of his role in this, and he needs to bring clarity to what he did and why he did it."
asked to resign and justify the reasons for doing so?
In his written testimony, Gonzales claimed he vaguely remembered discussions about the firings, including being asked about at least two possible replacements for vacant U.S. attorney jobs. He also said he recalled "two specific instances" when he was told that then-White House counsel Harriet Miers was seeking updates of the Justice Department's prosecutor evaluations.
Sampson left the Justice Department over the controversy March 12. He told the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 29 that he remembered discussions with Gonzales regarding "this process of asking certain U.S. attorneys to resign."
geted. the few, brief updates on the firings he received from Kyle Sampson, his former chief of staff, "focused primarily on the review process itself," Gonzales said.
He indicated he trusted his most senior aides, including Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, to select prosecutors who would be asked to resign, based on their performance. "It was to be a group of officials, including the deputy attorney general, who were much more knowledgeable than I about the performance of each U.S. attorney," he said.
"During those updates, to my knowledge, I did not make decisions about who should or should not be asked to resign," Gonzales said.
"Fuzzy recollections do not help us get to the bottom of what happened," Schumer said in a statement Sunday. "Evasive answers do not clear up the many contradictions uncovered so far. 'I don't' know, 'I don't recall' or indirect answers that avoid the questions will not do."
But Gonzales indicated he could not definitively say whether he was involved in decisions on selecting which prosecutors would be tar-
Gonzales also said he might be unable to answer all of lawmakers' questions because, trying to avoid any influence on his own testimony, he intentionally did not review transcripts of what his staff told congressional investigators in closed-door meetings. "As a result, I may be somewhat limited when it comes to providing you with all of the facts that you may desire," he said.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) one of Gonzales' most vocal critics and the first to call on the attorney general to resign, said the written remarks did little to clear up questions and contradictory statements about the firings.
Gonzales signaled he had no plans to step down — a decision that he has said repeatedly should be left to President Bush.

DARFUR
African Union officer hijacked, killed
Ghanian military officer on peace-keeping mission ambushed, seventh slain this month
BY ALFRED DE MONTESQUIQU
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NYALA, Sudan — Unidentified gunmen killed a Ghanaian military officer in the African Union's peacekeeping force in the Darfur region and hijacked his car within yards of the AU mission's headquarters, the AU said Sunday.
The officer was traveling alone in his vehicle when he was ambushed in the town of El Fasher late Saturday, AU spokesman Noureddine Mezni said.
The ambush took place hours after Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte visited the peacekeeper headquarters during his trip to push Sudan's government to let U.N. troops reinforce the AU mission. He was in the capital, Khartoum, on Sunday to meet with Sudanese officials.
The dead officer was the seventh
peacekeeper slain this month, raising to 18 the number of AU soldiers killed since the mission deployed in 2004 to try to stop a brutal conflict between ethnic Africans and Arabs. An AU officer also has been a hostage since December.
"If this growing hostility continues, truly the mission will be compromised and we will have to take the necessary measures," Mezni told The Associated Press.
Mezni and other AU officials said they did not know the identity of the gunmen, who struck on the skirts of El Fasher, a government-controlled town in North Darfur. The 7,000-soldier AU mission has had its headquarters there since deploying to Darfur in 2004.
Mezni said more than 90 vehicles have been hijacked from the AU since the beginning of the mission.
"The AU will not let itself be dragged into the conflict," he said.
"This cannot happen. ... We came here to protect civilians. If this is becoming impossible, we will take appropriate measures."
Last week, one soldier from Rwanda's contingent in the AU mission was slain during a patrol in North Darfur and an AU car was stolen during the assault, which took place in a zone controlled by the rebel Sudan Liberation Movement, the AU said. Two other Rwandans were wounded.
Earlier this month, five Senegalese peacekeepers were killed in an ambush a day after the deputy commander of the AU force narrowly escaped being shot down in his helicopter as he flew to a meeting with rebels.
More than 200,000 people have been killed in Darfur since 2003, when local rebels took up arms against the Arab-dominated Sudanese government, accusing it of decades of discrimination against
Darfur's ethnic Africans.
The International Criminal Court says the government retaliated by arming militias of Arab nomads known as the jainaew, and has listed 51 counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes against a Sudanese Cabinet minister and a suspected jainaew chief.
Some rebels also have been accused of abuses. There are almost daily reports of vehicles being hijacked, aid workers assaulted and refugees harassed throughout Darfur, an arid regions nearly the size of Texas where many areas are off limits to the weakly armed AU peacekeepers.
The Sudanese government blocked a plan by the United Nations to replace them with a 22,000-strong U.N. force. But Sudan and the U.N. are now edging toward a compromise that would allow some 3,000 U.N. soldiers to deploy in Darfur as reinforcement to the AU force.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — A previously unknown Palestinian group said Sunday it had killed a British journalist kidnapped over a month ago by gunmen in Gaza City, but the claim could not be confirmed.
In a statement sent to news organizations, "The brigades of Tawheed and Jihad" said it killed BBC Gaza correspondent Alan Johnston, 42, to support demands for the release of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. However, the BBC and the Palestinian government both said there was no evidence to back up the claim.
"The BBC is aware of these reports," the organization said in a statement. "But we have no independent verification of them."
The group claiming to have killed him is unknown in Gaza, but the name has been used elsewhere in the Middle East by organizations linked to al-Oaida.
"This party that issued the statement about the so-called killing is unknown to the security services,"
Palestinian Interior Minister Hani Kawasmeh told a news conference in Gaza City. "There is no information to confirm the killing of Johnston until now"
Johnston; from Scotland, was snatched at gunpoint in Gaza City on March 12. Since then there had been no demands from his captors or any word on his condition.
He has been missing longer than any other foreigner kidnapped in Gaza. The only foreign reporter still based in Gaza, he was snatched just weeks before he was scheduled to end his three-year stint there. Other news organizations withdrew their foreign-born reporters because of the deteriorating security situation there.
More than a dozen foreign journalists and aid workers have been abducted by gunmen in Gaza in the past 18 months, often in a bid by Palestinian militants to get money or jobs. Most have been released without major physical injury within hours or days. An exception was the abduction of two Fox News employees in August, who were held for two weeks before they were freed.

Catholic ambassador attends memorial
BY ARON HELLER ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — The Vatican's ambassador to Israel attended a Holocaust memorial service on Sunday, reversing an earlier decision to boycott the event that threatened to upset fragile ties between Israel and the Holy See.
Monsignor Antonio Franco said last week he would skip the ceremony at Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial marking the beginning of Israel's annual Holocaust Remembrance Day because Catholics were offended by a caption at the museum describing the wartime conduct of Pope Pius XII.
The caption next to the picture of Pius reads, "Even when reports about the murder of Jews reached the Vatican, the pope did not protest," refusing to sign a 1942 Allied condemnation of the massacre of Jews.
Pius "maintained his neutral posi
tion" with two exceptions — appeals he made to the rulers of Hungary and Slovakia toward the end of the war, the caption says. It also criticizes "his silence and absence of guidelines."
Israel and the Vatican established diplomatic relations in 1993 following hundreds of years of painful relations between Catholics and Jews. Many sensitive issues remain unresolved, including the Vaticans actions during the Nazi genocide of Jews.
The Vatican has struggled to defend its wartime pope as it pushes his sainthood cause, insisting that Pius spearheaded discreet diplomacy that saved thousands of Jews.
The disputed photo caption first appeared in 2005, when Yad Vashem opened its new museum.
Shortly after, the previous Vatican ambassador asked that it be changed.
The memorial service is traditionally attended by all foreign ambassadors to Israel or their representatives.
insisting its research on the pope's role was accurate.
Had Franco stayed away, Yad Vashem said it would have been the first time a foreign emissary deliberately skipped the ceremony.
Holocaust Remembrance Day, which commemorates the 6 million Jews killed by the Nazis during World War II, is observed from sundown Sunday to sundown Monday with memorial ceremonies, somber music on the radio and historical documentaries and movies on national television.
But Yad Vashem has not done so,
On Monday at 10 a.m., sirens will wail throughout Israel for two minutes with Israelis standing silently to remember the victims.
Yad Vashem spokeswoman Iris Rosenberg said the memorial appreciated Franco's decision, calling it "the right thing to do."

ENTERTAINMENT Anna Nicole Smith's diaries to sell for $25.000 apiece
"We have a buy-it-now situation" said Doug Norwine, the director of music and entertainment memorabilia at Heritage Auction Galleries of Dallas.
DALLAS — Two diaries written by Anna Nicole Smith in the early 1990s failed to sell at an auction this weekend, but are now available for a minimum bid of $25,000 each, an the auction house said Sunday.
"They just got cold feet," he said.
BOX OFFICE
There were at least two bidders on the diaries, but both pulled out of the auction that ended Saturday. Among their concerns were allegations by Smith's lawyer-turned-partner, Howard K. Stern, that the diaries had been stolen and should be returned to her estate, Norwine said.
man decided to auction the diaries after securing the publishing rights. Norwine said.
Norwine said he had vetted the history of the journals and believed they were legitimately obtained by a celebrity memorabilia dealer in Los Angeles before going up for sale on eBay.
The auction house obtained the journals and other items from an anonymous German businessman who purchased the items on eBay for more than $500,000 several weeks ago. The German business-
The diaries from 1992 and 1994 cover a range of topics, from Smith's love of octogenarian oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II to concerns about her eating.
'Disturbia' takes weekend, takes over 'Blades of Glory'
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Movie-goers put the Peeping Tom thriller "Disturbia" under strong surveillance as the film took in $23 million to debut at the top of the weekend box office, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Starring Shia LaBeouf as a housebound teenager who suspects a neighbor (David Morse) of murder, "Disturbia" continued a solid year for DreamWorks Pictures, whose No.1 hits include "Blades of Glory" and "Norbit."
"We're kind of hoping this could be habit-forming," DreamWorks spokesman Marvin Levy said.
"Disturbia" launches a breakout year for LaBeouf, whose long-rumored casting in the fourth "Indiana Jones" movie was confirmed Friday by producer George Lucas and director Steven Spielberg, one of the founders of DreamWorks.
This summer, LaBeoub provides the lead voice for Sony's animated penguin comedy "Surf's Up" and stars in the science-fiction saga "Transformers."
and have all this happening to me.
It's really great for him," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers.
"2007 is Shia's year. He proved he can open a movie all by himself."
"Blades of Glory" slipped to second place after two weekends on top, taking in $14.1 million to raise its total to $90.2 million.

OUR VIEW
Soldiers' stories worth telling whether profitable or not
When news broke that 15 British sailors were being held hostage in Iran all the drama was expected to end when they arrived back in the United Kingdom. Upon the captives safe return, surprisingly everyone else in the British Navy became victims. While the detainees are allowed to give paid interviews on the media magnet issue, all
other sailors are not allowed to comment in return for payment
The British Armed Forces may see this as a strategic move, but nearly everyone else sees it as unfair. If the media wants to pay for the perspective of non-captured sailors, those sailors should be able to issue their stories. This ban is not helping to protect the detainees from
receiving due compensation for interviews, because they are the preferred target for the media. This ban just appears to be biased toward some sailors.
CNN's Mathew Chance reported that "The British navy defended its decision, saying permission was granted to make sure the service had sight of what they were going to say."
However, that defense is a bit contradictory when sailors can speak their minds to reporters for free, they just can't be paid. They have sight of what they were going to say when no money exchanges hands, but otherwise they don't? Something doesn't add up.
The sailors that weren't detained have given just as much
to their armed service as those that were captured. If a reporter deems the other sailors' stories or opinions noteworthy, then they should be able to give them. If reporters want to pay for those opinions, then the sailors should be able to accept that cash.
Understandably the Navy may not want sailors talking without covering what can and can't be
said. Imposing an interview ban for all sailors may even be reasonable. What is not reasonable is to make money the independent variable in this interview ban. Uniformity unites, and as of now, when it is especially needed, the British Navy appears to be disjointed.

One decade brings a lot of change
The other day I was walking around campus with my iPod on shuffle, head banging and jamming out on my air guitar when the long, lost, Third Eye Blind hit "Semi-charmed Life" same pounding through my Apple earbuds. I realized that 1997 was a really long time ago.
A whole decade to be exact. The band and its countless fans celebrated the 10-year anniversary of their debut album just over a week ago.
With taxes due tomorrow, the nation is already in the mode of drudgingly rifling through the events of the last year so I've decided to rummage through the last 10 years. Based on the fact that, to my knowledge, there's no mutually agreed upon name for our current awkwardly titled decade in the next installment of VH1's "I Love the..", series, I think I can get away with doing a decade-in-review three years early.

OPINION@KANSAN.COM
1997-2007 witnessed a lot of changes in our world, our country and in ourselves. The majority of current students 'on cmapus were going through puberty. Surely few miss the awkward period of trading in baseball cards and Barbie dolls for acne prescriptions and Midol, but those fleeting middle school romances and first, stabbing, sword-fight like kisses were truly some of our "Best Weeks Ever"
If you're like me, it feels like yesterday that we were building titanium reinforced Y2K shelters stocked with economy-sized rolls of toilet paper and Dasani. But that wasn't the only fear-based instance of mass hysteria in recent memory. Not counting the Supreme Court appointment of George W. Bush to the presidency and his subsequent reelection, there were also a lot of people that freaked out about the Lawrence Microburst of '06 and Beanie Babies.
In politics, a president was impeached. September 11, 2001 changed the world forever. A war began — and supposedly ended with some theatrics on an aircraft carrier, but I think the troops are actually still fighting. Elian Gonzalez finally got to go home thanks to those nice men with masks and automatic weapons.
In pop culture, Harry Potter apparated onto the scene and into our
hearts after continually thwarting the evil Voldemort. The media thought up awful names like "Bennifer" who then repaid the favor by making "Gigli," and Tom Cruise jumped up and down on Oprah's coach.
The Jayhawks went to two Final Fours, not including 1997 when they fielded one of the greatest college basketball teams of all time with future NBA players Jacques Vaughn, Paul Pierce, Raef LaFrentz and Scott Pollard. At some point in the last 10 years, a lying man named Roy left town, but no one around Lawrence likes to credit his existence with talking about it. I think he was a car salesman. And his cars never made it all the way to their destination.
It's really got me wondering what life will be like in 2017. I predict the University of Kansas will probably win a handful of national championships and that Roy person will be jailed for his atrocities to fellow men. Maybe a computer chip in somebody's brain will start beaming down Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" from a satellite in space and a Kansan columnist will write a column like this one. The only thing we can be sure of is that taxes will be due.

Eradicate rising cases of violence against homeless
On August 11th, 2006 in Nashville, Tenn., a woman named Tara Cole was pushed off a dock where she was sleeping and into a nearby river. Her body washed ashore 10 days later. Her murders were caught eventually, but nothing will ever bring Tara back to her family. What was Tara's crime? The answer is simple. She was guilty of being defenseless. She was guilty of being homeless. Timothy Webber and Jos John Dotdah had
set out that night specifically to target the homeless with violence and that is what they accomplished.
In its annual report entitled, "Hate, Violence, and Death on Main Street, U.S.A." the National Coalition for the Homeless notes that violence against the homeless rose a staggering 170 percent in the past five years, with 142 violent attacks resulting in 20 deaths just last year alone. Between 1999 and
2005, homicides against the homeless constituted more than twice the number of homicides classified as hate crimes by the FBI.

of Education's business manager for seven years, and every other job she's had has been with the University She's even worked in some of the very buildings where she was arrested during her time here as a student.
The first time Brune was expelled was after a sit-in in 1965. At the time, some landlords near campus refused to rent houses or apartments to African Americans and even advertised in The University Daily Kansan, "no blacks." Brune was one of 200 people arrested in the chancellor's suite in Strong Hall and taken away in the "paddy wagon." A local African American minister posted bail for each incarcerated protestor: $10 a pop.
"We got out of jail," Brune said, "and got right back at protesting again."

Brune's next legal trouble came in a protest against the Vietnam War military draft. Brume was arrested after she chained herself to the door of the Military Science building. Her children, then three years old and one year old, attended the event and consequently were "arrested," too.
Gregor Brune said he was not as politically active as his mother, but he shared her values and beliefs.
in protest against the current war" Gregor said.
"The kids were really cool." Brune said. "Still are, actually."
Brune recounted the time the legendary baby doctor, Dr. Spock, came to speak at the University.
"I may be a little biased, but my mom has been a terrific person to be raised by," Gregor Brune said. "She took me to anti-Vietnam war protests with her when I was too young to know what was going on, and still today I have marched with her
"He told us — many of us families with small kids — 'It doesn't matter how you bring your kids up. There's going to be a point in time when they're going to rebel against you. Just accept it,' she said.
Brune had joined the Quaker Church to provide her children with a religious reason for avoiding the draft. After hearing Dr. Spock's advice, however, she quit going.
"I figured, what's the point? They're not going to turn out to be like me." Brune said. "But they did. It makes me have a renewed conviction that this is the right way to think."
Because she had two small children and a husband while she was a full-time student, Brune said she realized the need for on-campus childcare. At the time, on-campus childcare wasn't available, so her kids went with her to most of the protests. Women's issues plaguing the University at the time — such as a lack of women in the KU administration, no women's studies program and a Watkins Memorial Health Center that refused to dispense birth control information or contraceptives — were what sparked the events that led to Brune's third arrest.
In February 1972, a feminist protest took place in the then East Asian Studies Department building, which was later torn down. Brune and 14 other women took over the building and locked themselves inside. When the press came to look for a spokeswoman and a name for the protesters, Robin Morgan, one of the protesters, offered off-the-cuff "February Sisters."
WOMEN'S SCHOOL
PROTEST
"It was a group of women in February." Brune said. "Made sense!"
Today, the February Sisters is a campus organization that brings feminist forums to the University. Last February, the Sisters celebrated the 35th anniversary of the original sit-in.
The original name stuck, but the original group of protesters did not.
Less than a year after the initial demonstration, Hilltop Child Care Development Center opened, a women's studies program was created and annual February Sisters educational forums on women's issues began.
Brune remains close friends with another original February Sister, Christine Smith. They have been friends since 1965, when they met at a meeting called to integrate the Lawrence swimming pools.
"We never did anything together again," Brune said. "It's so funny to think this one thing, one action that we did, stuck."
"The work she did is solid. It touched lives," Smith said of Brune. "It made a statement."
Morgan, the February Sister who
1980
named the group, is the former editor of Ms. Magazine, which covers feminist issues and politics, and lives in New York City.
Brune's present-day passion is participating with around 15 other protesters from the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice to protest the Iraq War in front of the Douglas County Courthouse.
On a recent Saturday, Brune stood next to Smith, her fellow February Sister who was holding a sign that said "No Escalation," chatting with Louise Hanson, another activist, about a recipe for green bean caserole.
"We're forcing people to think about what they think." Hanson said.
When she's not working her regular job or on her political endeavors, Brune spends time in her 6,000-book home library. Gregor Brune recently helped his mom alphabetize her library, an event that took six weeks.
“Perhaps the greatest legacy I have inherited from my mother is a love of reading,” Gregor said. “I am in awe of her enormous book collection, and she has inspired me to be the bookworm I am today.”
The Coalition meets weekly to plan protests and other events.
One book in her collection,
"Prairie Power," features Brune herself in the last chapter of the book, written by Robbie Lieberman in 2004. The Book focused on former student radicals at the University of Missouri, Southern Illinois University and the University of Kansas.
NO HASSLE FOR YOUR TASSLE
"It's kind of weird to be in a book," Brune said. "So many people were active in my time."
Lieberman said she wrote the book to explore the meaning of "prairie power" and how it fueled the activism on college campuses. The book is sold at the KU Bookstore for $50.
"But don't buy it." Brune advised.
"It's too expensive."

Brune participates regularly in marches and protests and said she would go just as far as the law allowed, not wanting to jeopardize her upcoming retirement. But would she break the law again and risk arrest if the cause was important enough?
"Absolutely, without batting an eye," Brune said.

Starting quarterback picture still unclear

If fans intended to leave the Spring Scrimimage with a clear-cut picture of the Kansas quarterback situation, they left disappointed.
BY ASHER FUSCO
AnnaFaltermeier/KANSAN
Sophomores Todd Reesing and Kerry Meier each had good moments on Sunday afternoon but no clear favorite to win the job emerged as the Blue team defeated the White team 48-0.
Junior defensive end Richard Alspaugh attempts to tackle sophomore quarterback Todd Rees during the 2007 Spring Scrimmage Sunday in Memorial Stadium.
The score of the game can be taken with a grain of salt, considering the Blue squad was made up of primarily first-string players and the White team
was comprised of reserves. The focus of the spring game was squarely on the competition for starting jobs and some standout individual performances.
Neither of the dueling quarterbacks was able to create any separation in the race for playing time. Reesing finished 10-for-20 for 171 yards, scurrying his way out of several potential sacks in the process. When Reesing was in the game, Kansas used a diverse array of plays, including short passes to senior tight end Derek Fine and longer

Running back shines in Spring Scrimmage
BY MARK DENT
Brandon McAnderson rarely saw the open field last season.
His carries usually consisted of three things: get the ball at the 3-yard line, knock down a couple of linebackers and fall into the end zone or past the first down marker.
So his stat line from Sunday's Spring Scrimmage was a little bit of a surprise. He ran for 80 yards on 15 carries for the Blue team in its 48-0 victory. McAnderson, senior running back, reeled off long runs of 14, 13, 11 and 9 yards. The 11-yard carry led to the first of his two
touchdowns.
"He makes people miss," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "You'll see time and again people miss him. He had a linebacker in front of him two times and cut around him."
Last season, Jon Cornish had all the opportunities. Cornish, first team All-Big 12 running back, dodged and darted his way to a school-record 1,457 yards on several long runs. McAnderson, playing fullback, helped pave the way.
He ran the ball sometimes, but he never had much room to go far. With

Kansas sees mixed results
Home run at the end of game one couldn't keep luck on Jayhawks'side
BY ALISSA BAUER
Junior second baseman Ryne Price was having a rough day. A pair of errors, one that caused the tying run to score in the seventh, and the other that put a runner on third in the ninth, hung over Price in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against Baylor (21-17, 6-9 Big 12 Conference).

"He had a tough weekend. That's probably the worst he's played with a glove his entire life," coach Ritch Price said. "One of the things we preach to our players is when you make a mistake, you live for an opportunity to redeem yourself and I don't know if you can do it in any better fashion than he did. That was a big-time swing."
Price's home run capped off a hit-heavy game for the Jayhawks, but they struggled with the run count. Once the Jayhawks (19-22, 5-10) got rolling in the third, their bats dominated as they out-hit the Bears 10-3.
victory.
On the other side of the ball, junior lefty Zach Ashwood (3-3) kept his offense in it, surrendering just two hits in 5 1/3 innings of work. One of the two, however, was a two-run shot that put a deep dent in the lead he was working with.
But it was the run count that Kansas struggled with. In the top of the ninth, Kansas still found itself in a tie ballgame because of the 13 runners the Jayhawks left on the bases throughout the afternoon.
After busting out for his first home run against No. 6 Texas last weekend, junior left fielder John Allman slugged his second one of the season in the bottom of the fifth
The lead narrowed quickly in the Bears' next at bat. Two batters equaled two runs in the top of the sixth when right fielder Aaron Miller sent Ashwood's delivery over his own territory in right.

Sunday's game between Kansas and Texas A&M will quickly be forgotten by the Jayhawks — and for good reason.

Novice eight boat earns first victory
Varsity quad boat receives top honors
BY CATHERINE ODSON
An intense day of racing gave the Kansas novice eight boat its first victory this spring.
The novice eight boat finished first in grand finals at Saturday's Knecht Cup in Camden, N.J., after winning its preliminary race in 7 minutes, 18.7 seconds. The
novice eight boat — led by freshman coxswain Jenny Leuck and rowed by juniors Elena Larson and Emily Martin, sophomore Brianna Flickinger, and freshman Katie Beall,
"Seeing that we were just as strong as they were,we knew we could do it."
Amber Bortz, Sara Karcher, Stacy Rachow and Abby Green — finished the final in 7:16.0, 5.5 seconds before second-place Rhode Island.
The Jayhawks entered the final with the third-best time and didn't know what to expect, Larson said. The Jayhawks stayed close to the other six boats for the first half of the race before pulling away in the second half, leaving a boatlength between them and the rest of the boats.
"Seeing that we were just as strong as they were, we knew we could do it," Larson said.
Coach Rob Catloth said the novice eight boat lived up to the potential the coaching staff saw in it.
7:44.4.
"It's a very important win for them, a big confidence builder", he said. "Some of it's just getting enough races that they finally figured out what they could do."
Boston said the time was slower than it could have been because the rowers knew they had other races and slowed down after initially pulling ahead. A quad boat competes without a coxswain, who is responsible for steering the boat and setting the pace, so the rowers went off "how

each other felt in the boat," Boston said.
Kansa s' first varsity eight boat placed fourth in the grand finals behind Gonzaga, who received votes in last week's U.S. Rowing poll, Rhode
Island and Boston College. The final was one of the last races of the day, almost 12 hours after the races started.
"We might have been a little bit raced out," Catloth said. "But as a whole we raced really well."
Kansas' second varsity eight and varsity four A also finished fourth in their respective grand finals. The varsity four B boat finished sixth in the petite finals.
The regatta was originally scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, but Sunday's races were moved to Saturday because poor weather was forecasted. The conditions improved throughout the day Saturday, with wind and water calming as the day progressed.
"Toward the end of the afternoon, it really warmed up well," Boston said. "It turned out to be a beautiful day for racing."

Bunge said that the team was putting in the effort, maybe a bit too much.
"It's not fun to practice inside Anschutz because you can't take groundballs well in there," Washburn said.
"We're trying way too hard and we have to get back to relaxing," Bunge said. "This team is a much younger group and in some way are still searching for their identity at this point of the season. At this point in time, we just didn't get it done today."

》 60TH ANNIVERSARY
Dodgers celebrate Jackie Robinson
JACQUELY ROBINSON DAY
42
AUG. 15, 2001
BY JOHN NADEL ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers solemnly lined up along the thirdbase line, each and every one wearing No. 42.
Jackie Robinson broke major league baseball's color barrier on April 15, 1947, with the Brooklyn Dodgers, and the sport celebrated the 60th anniversary of his debut throughout the country Sunday, when more than 200 players, managers and coaches wore his number.
Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, center, and former Los Angeles Dodger great Don Newcombe, left, present Rachael Robinson, widow of Jackie Robinson, with an award during a news conference Sunday in Los Angeles. Sunday marks the 60th anniversary of Robinson's major-league debut.
"I've often said that baseball's most powerful moment in its really terrific history was Jackie Robinson's coming into baseball," commissioner Bud Selig said during an on-field ceremony before the Dodgers played the San Diego Padres. "It's an incredible story — not just for baseball, but for society. Jackie was an American hero and the ultimate barrier-breaker. Threats to his life were commonplace. Yet Jackie took everything hate-mongers had to offer him. Not only is he a baseball Hall of Famer, he's a Hall of Famer for all-time."
Hank Aaron and Frank Robinson threw out ceremonial first pitches, and fellow Hall of Famers Joe Morgan and Dave Winfield were on hand, joined by actors Courtney B. Vance and Marlon Wayans. Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson sang "The Star-Spangled Banner"
Adding a personal touch were Robinson's widow, Rachel, and two Dodgers who knew him. Broadcaster Vin Scully paid tribute to Rachel Robinson, and Don Newcombe, Robinson's former teammate and a longtime Dodgers executive, looked on.
At the 50th anniversary ceremony, at New York's Shea Stadium in 1997, then-President Clinton spoke and Selig announced Robinson's No. 42 was being retired by all major league teams. The only player wearing No. 42 then who remains active is New York Yankees reliever Mariano Rivera. After Cincinnati's Ken Griffey Jr. asked for permission to wear the number Sunday, Selig
invited others to use No. 42 for the day.
This year's national celebration was centered at Dodger Stadium, not far from where Robinson grew up in Pasadena. He would become the first athlete to earn letters in four sports at UCLA, and he served in the U.S. Army during World War II before making his debut with the Dodgers at age 27.
The Brookinaires Gospel Choir from The First African Methodist Episcopal Church sang "Oh Happy Day," a Robinson favorite. Twin logos acknowledging Robinson were painted on both sides of the plate with another behind second base, and "Jackie Robinson Day" was printed on the bases.
There was a video tribute with Morgan and Aaron among those participating. And several current players expressed their thanks to Robinson.
Selig presented Mrs. Robinson with the Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award for her work
with the Jackie Robinson Foundation, formed in 1973 to raise scholarship money for qualified minorities. Robinson died in October 1972 at age 53.
"She's made an enormous impact on our sport," Selig said. "We are an institution with enormous social responsibilities. She keeps us focused on that."
Then, speaking to Mrs. Robinson, Selig said: "You not only made baseball better, more important you made society better."
"Whites inside only" and "Coloreds entrance" were signs of the time when Robinson played his first game at Ebbets Field. He was subjected to racist remarks from players and fans alike. But Dodgers executive Branch Rickey made Robinson his choice to break the color barrier because he believed he was mature enough and tough enough to survive and thrive.
Robinson retired following the 1956 season — after the Dodgers traded him to the rival Giants — and
was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1962.
"That first day, we were so anxious in the morning without acknowledging it," 84-year-old Rachel Robinson said. "I think what we felt at the end of the day was a great deal of relief. He performed even though he didn't do very well."
Robinson went hitless, but reached base on an error and scored the go-ahead run in the Dodgers' 5-3 victory over the Boston Braves.
His impact has been lasting. Mrs. Robinson said 1,100 scholarship students have graduated from college and 266 are present in school since the foundation was formed.
"We needed to find a way to hold onto him," Mrs. Robinson said of her late husband. "Jack's legacy is all over the place.
"We know if our youngsters don't get educated, they won't have a chance to achieve their highest potential. We indoctrinate with the notion of giving back. We have a 97 percent graduation rate."

"My stuff was getting a little less sharp as the innings were going on, and it was time to get somebody else in there." Ashwood said. "But I was happy with my outing."
Entering the game with a 3-2 lead, the young reliever finished out the sixth unscathed but gave up Ashwood's chance for the victory in the seventh. It was a spell of shoddy defense that actually had the larger hand in the Bears' tying it up.
An error at second gave left fielder Ben Booker a free pass that led to the unearned run that tied the game at three. The score remained even until Price's home run.
Sophomore closer Paul Smyth (3- 2) picked up the victory when he came in the top of the ninth to shut the door on the Bears.
"That's baseball for you. It's good one game and the next game it doesn't go as good for you," junior shortstop Erik Morrison said. "You've got to keep battling through it. It's definitely a low point, but we've got to keep as much composure as possible."
Price's walk-off made for a dramatic victory but didn't do much for the Jayhawks' momentum. Only 30 minutes from one to the next, game two of Sunday's doubleheader went much differently than game one.
"I think we came out in the first game ready to play and then it seemed like maybe we were just cruising in the second game, but it happens," Ashwood said.
The second game of the dav and
final game of the series followed a path similar to the first game, minus the lead. Entering the sixth, Baylor held a 3-1 lead, compared to the 3-0 deficit the team faced in game one after five.
Home runs again played a large part, but this time all on the Bears' behalf. Baylor hit four out in the third game of the series while Kansas didn't honer even once.
Sophomore lefty Andy Marks (3-4) threw a decent start, just as Ashwood did in game one, allowing just five hits for three runs.
All three runs, however, were scored via home runs, including a pair of back-to-back shots to center fielder Chase Gerdes and shortstop Beamer Weems in the top of the fourth, a first for a Kansas pitcher this season.
"The reason why a lot of that happens is sometimes when you're pitching behind in the count, you have to throw a fastball, you have to throw a strike." Ashwood said. "Guys are going to be ready for that. Some of the balls were hit really well and some of them aren't hit that well, but they still get out."
Despite the different results, Kansas matched game one's three-error count in the second game, giving the defense a total of eight errors for the weekend.
In the seventh, Baylor transformed its lead from a slight advantage to a secured victory with a pair of Jayhawk errors. When first baseman Dustin Dickerson hit by a pitch, he stole second and landed on third

because of a catcher's error.
"Errors are going to happen," Morrison said. "Just try to eliminate them as much as possible and get the next guy for a chance to redeem yourself later in the game. But we never get down on each other. Once you get down on someone it's just going to spiral out of control and that's no good."
An RBI double knocked Dickerson home. Another infield error kept the inning alive long enough for the Bears to push the lead to 5-1.
The Jayhawks kept kicking, finishing the series finale with nine hits to Baylor's 10. The battling of Kyle Murphy and Robby Price drove in another run, but it would be the last of the series. The Bears' fourth home run of the game negated the last-stitch effort.
"When I looked at the board one time and we have seven hits and only one run," coach Price said. "We had some opportunities with the right guys up. We just weren't able to capitalize."
Baylor closer Nick Cassavechia saw to that. The right-hander picked up his seventh save, tossing three innings without giving up a run or a hit.
"Doubleheaders are hard no matter who you're playing, what time you start the game," Ashwood said. "It's hard to go out and win two games straight against the same team."

Arizona stumps Colorado in third of series

Umpire C.B. Buckner, left, takes his stance behind Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Chris Snyder, during the eighth inning of a baseball game against the Colorado Rockies Sunday in Phoenix. Like many players, Buckner wore number 42, in honor of Jackie Robinson.
BY BOB BAUM ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — The "elder states man" had a big dav for Arizona.
Tony Clark drove in three runs with two homers and the Diamondbacks beat Colorado 6-4 on Sunday to take two of three from the Rockies.
"We're a talented group," Clark said. "We're a very young group. That being said, these guys come to the ballpark every day trying to be better than they were the day before. We're doing our best and they're doing their best to shorten the learning curve."
It was the 22nd multihomer game for the 34-year-old Clark, one of many major leaguers who wore a No. 42 jersey to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's major league debut.
Clark started for the second straight game at first base, a position normally occupied by young Conor jackson.
"He's the elder statesman," manager Bob Melvin said of Clark. "Tony is definitely a leader here, just as much in the clubhouse as on the field, especially on a day like this, when he's wearing No. 42. To have a big day, I know, is a special day for him."
"I ain't talking about no hitting," the superstitious second baseman said, after pushing his average to.412.
So Clark spoke for him
"O' is simply doing what 'O' is capable of doing," Clark said. "He started off slow last year, but the remaining 70 percent of the season he had a tremendous year, and all lie's done is carry that over."
After getting the first two outs in the ninth, Jose Valverde walked Helton and Matt Holliday. Valverde then struck out Jeff Baker looking for his sixth save in seven
Todd Helton hit his first home run of the season for the Rockies, a solo shot in the fourth.
chances.
The Diamondbacks jumped on Colorado's Byung-Hyun Kim for four runs in the first inning after the Rockies had scored a pair off Doug Davis.
Kim, the former Diamondback, was on the mound because scheduled starter Rodrigo Lopez was pushed back to Wednesday because of right elbow inflammation.
Two scored on sacrifice flies by Chad Tracy and Eric Brynes, then Clark hit a 2-0 pitch 420 feet onto the walkway in center field, a two-run hero that made it 4-2.
Arizona loaded the bases without an out on a walk to Stephen Drew and singles by Alberto Callaspo and Orlando Hudson.
Clark's second homer, leading off the fourth, put Arizona ahead 5-4. Kim (1-2) left after that with a bruised right thumb. The ex-
Willie Taveras' suicide squeeze scored Troy Tulowitzki to make it 4-3 in the second inning, then Helton had singled in a run in the center
— who had singled in a run in the first — lined one into the left-center seats to tie it at 4.
He said the thumb had been numb since he was jammed at the plate early in the game, but said he didn't want to take himself out because Colorado was short on available pitchers.
Diamondback closer pitched three plus innings, allowing five runs on five hits.
"I have to pitch more innings.
After I gave up the (last) home run, the next pitch was a ball, and then I really couldn't hold the ball," he said.
Arizona's sixth run came on Scott Hairston's two-out single in the fifth.
Four Diamondbacks relievers blanked the Rockies on one hit the final four innings.

Pitching woes haunt Jayhawks
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Coming into the weekend, Kansas' key to success was its pitching staff.
The problem certainly hadn't been scoring runs. Kansas had scored at least six runs in its eight games leading up to the Baylor series and was averaging more than eight runs during that span. Still, the Jayhawks had a 3-5 record to show for it.
On the other hand, Kansas' pitching staff had struggled mightily in Big 12 Conference play. The layhawks' weekend starters — sophomore Nick Czyz, junior Zach Ashwood and sophomore Andy Marks — had a combined 7.65 ERA against conference opponents.
Those trends went by the way side against Baylor as Kansas wasted solid performances from its starting pitchers and cemented itself as the last-place team in the Big 12.
Czyz got the first taste of disappointment Saturday afternoon.
After battling a tight tricep all week, Czyz allowed three runs in five innings, striking out four for arguably his best outing since March 10. But the Kansas offense mustered only two runs on five hits, stranding seven runners.
"I told him that's as competitive as he's been since he's been here," Kansas coach Ritch Price said of Czyz on Saturday. "He was in trouble and out of trouble and made some big pitches"
Sunday's doubleheader was more of the same for Jawhayk starting pitches, but not for lack of effort by the offense.
Kansas collected 19 hits in the doubleheader. That total translated
to only six runs as 22 men were left on base.
Ashwood got the start in game one and allowed only two runs in 51/3 innings.
Ashwood was just glad Kansas eventually won, evening the series.
Unfortunately, Ashwood wasn't rewarded for his effort with a victory. Three runs of support by his offense left a slim margin for error for the bullpen and, as fate would have it, an error erased the Kansas advantage.
"I don't really care who the win goes under as long as our team's getting wins and getting into the Big 12 Tournament so we can see what we can do from there," Ashwood said.
The Jayhawks' Big 12 Tournament hopes took a heavy blow when Kansas gave Marks only two runs of support in game two. Marks struck out eight in six innings, allowing zero walks and five hits. But, three of the five hits were home runs and he was charged with four earned runs.
"Their guys were throwing 90, 91 and 92 and they were using the change-up. When you're geared to hit the fastball, it's really hard to make that adjustment as a hitter," Price said.
Kansas bats did little to keep Marks from taking the loss. The Jayhawks had nine hits, but nine runners were left on base, resulting in just two runs.
Price credited his counterpart, Baylor coach Steve Smith, for his team's offensive woes.

Poor doubles play hurts ailing Kansas against strong Colorado squad
During Kansas' 5-2 loss to Colorado on Sunday, half the players representing the Jayhawks were slowed down by injuries.
BY RUSTIN DODD
No. 30 Colorado came out strong against an ailing Kansas, and cruised to three doubles victories. Junior Elizaveta Avdeeva and Horvath fell to Camila Belassi and Gleis Torres Torres at No. 1 doubles, 8-1, while Hommell and freshman Kunigunda Dorn lost to Monica Milewski and Franziska Jendrian 8-1 in the No. 2 position. Sophomore Yuliana Swistun and Smith fared only slightly better, managing to get three games against Melisa Esposito and Martina Sedivec in an 8-3 loss at No. 3 doubles.
Three players — juniors Stephanie Smith and Lauren Hommell and sophomore Edina Horvath — battled through injuries on Sunday. A fourth injured player, sophomore Ksenia Bukina, watched from the stands.
"Right now we probably only have three healthy players in our lineup," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "It's taking a toll on us, but we have to keep staying minded."
"One thing that we need is to take time off, but there isn't any time for that," Hall-Holt said.
The Jawhaws fought back in singles play, with Svistun and Horvath both taking victories. Smith, who has battled ankle problems all spring, retired after dropping the first set, 6-0, and down 3-0 in the second set, giving Colorado a 3-1 lead. With freshman Kunigunda Dorn up a set against Veera Nurmi at No. 3 singles, and Avdeeva and Hommell still on the court, it looked like Kansas might have a chance at a miracle comeback. But Avdeeva fell to Milewski, 6-3, 6-1, at No.

After the dual with Oklahoma on Wednesday, Kansas will return home to take on Texas A&M on Sunday.
"Our singles came out and really stepped it up after doubles," Hall-Holt said. "Our doubles play has been disappointing, and after struggling today, our girls wanted to put it all out there in singles."

Yuliana Svistun stopped by her coach's office this week for a quick and casual meeting. Coach Amy Hall-Holt just wanted to see how her soft-sophomore was doing.
Injuries continue to haunt the team, and Hall-Holt sees no relief in sight. Hall-Holt said it was tough because Kansas will play at Oklahoma on Wednesday, so the team would have only

Kansan sportswriter Rustin Dodd can be contacted at rdodd@kansan.com.
"She's definitely a laid-back player," Hall-Holt said, "But she's been a rock for us on the court."
Svistun's game is unassuming at times — she's more likely to wear down an opponent with consistency than overpower them. But with injuries plaguing the team throughout the spring, Svistun has been a much-needed constant at No. 5 singles.
"To go from not even being in the lineup at times last season to where she is now, I've been so pleased with her," Hall-Holt said earlier in the season.
Svistun struggled her freshman season to make the transition to Division I tennis and spent most of the season outside of the top six in the Kansas lineup. This year, Swistun stumbled out of the gates, losing three out of her first four singles matches. She eventually settled in at the No. 5 singles spot and has won 12 out of 14 matches.

Emergency workers load William Millon, a tournament marshal, into an ambulance on the ninth hole of the Verizon Heritage golf tournament at Narbour Town Golf Links on Sunday at Hilton Head Island, S.C. The marshal was struck by a failing tree limb and play was suspended due to extremely windy conditions.
Winds suspend tournament
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. The final round of the Verizon Heritage was suspended until Monday after Harbour Town was hit by wind so strong that a tournament marshal was hit by a falling tree limb.
William Millon was hit by the branch between the first and ninth holes. He was talkative, conscious and alert when he left for Hilton Head Regional Medical Center in an ambulance, tournament spokesman Arnie Burdick said. Millon was later released with minor injuries, Verizon Heritage tournament director Steve Wilmot said.
Tournament officials announced the decision shortly before 4 p.m.
Final-round play was expected to resume at 7:45 a.m. Monday. It will be the tournament's first Monday finish since Jose Coceres beat Billy Mavfair in a playoff in 2001.
BY PETE IACOBELLI ASSOCIATED PRESS?
Soon after, the final round was halted because balls wouldn't remain in place on the 16th, 17th and 18th holes, which are exposed to Callibogue Sound.
PGA Tour tournament director Slugger White said the course was hit by gusts as high as 44 mph. Wind off the famous lighthouse hole, No.18, was enough to knock walkers off their strides.
"It it dangerous out there for spectators," White said. "It was dangerous and unplayable."
Officials realized shortly after the first groups got to the finishing it
would be near impossible to continue. White said justin Leonard's shot on the 16th rolled off after it had seemingly come to rest. That's when they put a halt to the round.
Boo Weekley, who is two shots behind leader Jerry Kelly, was playing the second hole when the round was halted. "I heard some stories in the locker room, and it was pretty ridiculous, really," Weekley said.
Mark Hensby was among the few golfers who played the par-4 16th. "We were walking along 16, and the tree branches, you actually heard one crack," Hensby said. "Then a few were flying across the fairway, and then we figured someone was going to get hurt out there."
The conditions would've been brutal on players' scores, too. J.B. Holmes hit the green on the par-3 17th — a hole moved up some 70 yards to play at 138 yards — then needed three putts to finish.
At 12:30 p.m., the flagsticks on those holes were bent in an arc as the wind whistled through the largely empty grandstands. Sand from the beach area along the lighthouse hole, No.18, blew onto the fairway.
"We've never had anything like this wind," said Cory Corbitt, director of sports and retail operations for Sea Pines Resort.
A swaying tree snagged the netting of Harbour Town's driving range and pulled part of it away.
Another long pine tree limb was split by the wind and hanging in the same area where Millon was struck. Tournament officials rolled in a backhoe to pull down the branch as they directed spectators
onto the ninth fairway on their to Harbour Town's entrance.
White said workers will blow some of the lost sand bunkers over the final thre They also might add sand Monday morning.

CHAMP CAR RACING
Driver makes comeback in Long Beach
Sebastien Bourdais returns from Las Vegas crash, wins Toyota Grand Prix
BY MIKE HARRIS ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONG BEACH, Calif. — Forget about that first-race misery, Sebastien Bourdais is back.
The Frenchman dominated Sunday on the way to his third straight victory in the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, just a week after crashing in qualifying and in the race at the season opener in the streets of Las Vegas.
"That race was like a bad dream.
This is a whole lot nicer."
"I guess everything that could happen to us in Vegas happened but, this week, the McDonald's car showed what we could do," said Bourdais, who collected his thoughts and regained his confidence by taking the time to drive his family from Las Vegas to Long Beach in a motorhome.
Bourdais, who has won 24 of 61 starts and three straight season titles in the Champ Car World Series, was certainly the class of the field this week. He started from the pole and raced away to a nearly 25-second lead — about a third of a lap on the 1.968-mile, 11-turn downtown street circuit.
That lead evaporated when rookie Simon Pagenaud slid into a tire barrier on lap 53 of the 74-lap event, bringing out one of three full-course caution flags.
After pit stops by the leaders Bourdais found himself trailing French rookie Tristan Gommendy, who was on a different pit strategy
and had pitted last on lap 39. With surprising runner-up Oriol Servia conserving fuel and not pushing the leaders, Bourdais chose to be patient and wait for Gommendy to make his final stop.
Bourdais regained the lead on lap 68 and stayed out front the rest of the way, easily holding off Servia on a restart on lap 77 after the last caution period.
It's the longest winning streak at Long Beach since Al Unser Jr. won a record four in a row from 1988 through 1991.
Servia, the 2005 series runner-up as Bourdais' teammate, started the weekend without a ride but took over for Paul Tracy after the 2003 series champion injured his back in a crash during Saturday's practice.
"I did a great job, but nothing compared to what the team did," Servia said of his Forsyth the Championship Racing crew. "I had to adjust to the car, but I'm a race car driver. The team had to adjust to me and they gave me a fabulous car and great pit stops."
Servia started 14th in the 17-car field, but used an early pit stop under caution to take the lead on lap 32 when the front-runners pitted. He was then able to take a smaller fuel load on his second stop, on lap 38, and stay near the front the rest of the wav.
When rookie Alex Figge crashed hard into the tires late in the 1-hour, 40-minute timed race, Servia had one last shot at Bourdais. But the leader's Newman/Haas/Lanigan
"To be honest, I had great shoes to fill today," Servia said. "I know PT would have tried on the last restart to go for the win. I tried, but I couldn't do it.
Racing entry got a great jump on the restart and Servia had to settle for the runner-up spot, finishing 2.614 seconds — about 10 car-lengths — behind.
"I'm just really, really happy to finish second and I thank the team and Mr. (Gerald) Forsythe for trusting me to do the job."

Last-lap pass gives Texas its first repeat winner

Jeff Burton passed Matt Kenseth on the final lap Sunday to become the first repeat winner at Texas, winning 10 years after he won the inaugural race.
There had been 11 different winners in the 11 races since Burton won the first race at the 11/2-mile, high-banked Texas track.
by-side with rookie Juan Pablo Montoya.
took Kenseth on the backstretch coming out of Turn 2 after more than 10 laps of trying to get past him. It was Burton's 19th career victory.
Jeff Gordon led 173 of 334 laps and finished fourth, the fifth top-five finish in the seven races this season for the Hendrick driver. But he is 0-for-13 at Texas, joining Phoenix and Homestead as the only active tracks where the four-time Nextel Cup champion hasn't won.
That denied Kenseth, who won the Busch race Saturday, a weekend sweep. It also ended a fourrace winning streak by Hendrick Motorsports.
Kenseth and Mark Martin, who finished third after sitting out two races, are former Texas winners.
Burton won with an average speed of 143.359 mph and was the last of nine leaders. Gordon, the pointers leader who started on the pole after qualifying was canceled because of storms, led four times and Dale Earnhardt Jr. had three leads for 96 laps.
Jimmie Johnson, the Hendrick driver who won three of the last four races, was knocked out of contention on lap 240 when he ran into Tony Stewart's sliding car coming onto the frontstretch. Johnson finished 38th.
When making a run on Busch only 13 laps later trying to get back on the lead lap, Stewart last control. Earnhardt slowed down
Stewart, who won at Texas last fall, was sent into a spin when he was bumped while running side-
to try to avoid Stewart but was rammed hard from behind by Kyle Busch, who had the other win in Hendrick's streak.
Texas had gone longer than any other track without a repeat winner. When Richmond
opened in 1953, there were eight races before inaugural winner Lee Petty won again in 1960.
Jamie McMurray finished, followed Greg Bifftle, Martin Truex Jr., Montoya, Denny Hamlin and David Stremte.
Earnhardt was trying to repeat at Texas, where he got his first Cup victory seven years ago, a year after his first Busch victory at the
track. He has gone 33 races since winning at Richmond last May.
Gordon ran in front for the most of the first half of the race before Earnhardt passed him on lap 154, pulling
Gordon with 100 laps to go, but everything started to change after Johnson bashed up his front right end when he ran into Stewart.
During the pit stop on that caution, Gordon dropped six spots to eighth after one of his tire changers had problems.
Kurt Busch got past Earnhardt on lap 248 and was in the lead when he pitted under green. Right after Busch got back on the track on lap 294, the seventh caution flag came out and his chance at winning was gone.
That put Gordon back in front, and he stayed there until Kenseth passed him with 17 laps to go. Lap after lap, Burton tried to catch up, and finally did — just in time.
"We were faster, but he held me off for 15 laps," Burton said of his form teammate.
There was a first-lap crash at Texas for the first time since 1997, when there was a 13-car accident
Gordon has gone 25 races since his last victory. His 75 victories are one short of the late Dale Earnhardt for sixth place on NASCAR's career list.
There was a first-lap crash at Texas for the first time since 1997, when there was a 13-car accident on the first turn of the first lap on the then-new track.
his No. 8 Chevrolet under Gordon entering the backstretch.
Earnhardt still was in front of
on the first turn of the first lap on the then new track.
This time, rookie David Ragan slid up into JJ. Yeley coming out of Turn 4. Casey Mears, the other Hendrick driver, then
made contract with Ricky Rudd, who wound up in the infield rolled over the top of Ragan's car.

10B FOOTBALL
SCRIMMAGE (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
MONDAY, APRIL 16, 2007
throws to junior wide receivers Marcus Herford and Raymond Brown.
Meier was slightly less flashy than Reesing, but displayed good touch on several occasions, connecting with senior wide receiver Marcus Henry for two touchdowns. Meier finished 13-for-27 for 204 yards and an interception that sophomore safety Darrell Stuckey took the other way for an easy touchdown. But the lapse was an isolated incident and Meier showed poise throughout the scrimmage.
"Its a heated competition," coach Mark Mangino said. "Those guys are, in a friendly way, competing intensely."
The 6-foot-4 Henry frequently used his notable size advantage against the second-stringers that covered him. He corralled six catches, gaining 150 yards and scoring three touchdowns. He was at his best on Sunday, adjusting to poorly thrown passes, out-leaping defenders and picking up yardage after his catches.
"Marcus had a great spring," Reesing said. "With his body type and his route running ability and the way he catches
the ball I think he could step into the role of a number one receiver"
The Blue team also dominated on the defensive side of the ball, allowing only 78 yards of total offense. The White offensive line was no match for the ferocious pass rush led by junior linebacker Joe Mortensen and junior defensive end John Larson.
Mortensen laid several hefty hits on the quarterback and flew from sideline to sideline to tally 10 tackles and one sack. Thanks to Mortensen's highlight-worthy game and the speed of junior outside linebacker James Holt, the defense looked nothing like last year's version that was full of holes.
"I liked the way we were running to the ball on defense," Mangino said. "We played the run pretty well. I liked the mental edge the defense of the Blue group had today."
The secondary appeared to have made great strides during the five weeks of spring practices. Solidified by the addition of junior cornerback Kendrick Harper from Butler County Community College, the unit often
forced the quarterbacks to tuck the ball and run when no receivers were open. Junior cornerback Aqib Talib said improved chemistry was key to the improved play of the defensive backfield.
"This year, we've got more experience. We've got more plays under our belt," Talib said. "We feel like more of a team right now."
More than four months remain until the Jayhawks' season gets underway, but football-starved fans were anxious to take in some football in the middle of April. Sunday's announced attendance was 8,200, the largest crowd for a spring game during the Mark Mangino era. Fans may not have learned which quarterback will emerge as the starter come fall, but for one afternoon they received a glimpse at the future, albeit uncertain, of Kansas football.

MCANDERSON (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Cornish gone now, McAnderson has the chance to be Kansas' backfield star. The runs of 10 yards or more could become common.
That doesn't mean he's done being the Jayhawks' short yardage specialist.
"My size is one of my biggest assets," McAnderson said. "I feel confident I can get it into the end zone on any play that they call."
Hitting is natural for McAnderson at 6 feet and 235 pounds. All he has to do to knock a linebacker off his feet is get low and push forward. He did that just that during the Spring Scrimmage. McAnderson ran for a 2-yard touchdown and had three first downs on short-yardage situations.
"Brandon did what he does best," Mangino said. "He gets his pads down, and he gets tough yardage."
His ability to rumble over people contrasts from sophomore lake Sharp, the Jayhawks' other candidate to earn the starting running back position. Sharp doesn't have McAnderson's size, but he can sprint into the open field before the defensive linemen get out of
their three-point stance. He had seven carries for 39 yards during Sunday's game despite being slightly injured. The two will likely compete for the bulk of the carries.
"That's out of my hands," McAnderson said. "I'm just going to go out there and perform. If the opportunity comes, I'll be ready for it."
As a package deal, McAnderson and Sharp could make a formidable backfield. Mangino plans to use both for different situations. Sharp will stretch the defense, and McAnderson will bullock it.
Any role suits McAnderson. He's ready to do whatever the team needs to get Kansas back to a bowl game during his senior season.
"I want it all bad," McAnderson said. "If it means running the ball, blocking a ton of times, playing special teams. I'm willing to do whatever because it's my last chance."

More than 8,000 fans got a taste of fall at the Spring Scrimmage on Sunday at Memorial Stadium, filling stands for a glimpse at next year's team nearly five months before the first game of the season.
Fans get sneak peek of fall season
The scrimmage was a dress rehearsal for everyone involved. A referee backpedaled into a pylon and tumbled to the delight of the crowd, Hank Booth misspoke a couple of times over the loudspeaker, and the team worked under the direction of a new offensive coordinator. The leaves on the trees around the stadium were budding rather than changing colors, but the blare of the fight song, the yell of the cheerleaders and the smell of beer in the air gave the day the feel of a Saturday in fall.
Though not as numerous or rowdy as on a normal game day, hundreds of fans showed up early to tailgate on the hill and enjoy the warm, sunny weather.

3 players who impressed
Joe Mortensen, junior linebacker — Not only did Mortensen lead the Jayhawks in tackles, he kept the offense on its heels with three tackles for loss. Mortensen was projected as a backup after moving from outside linebacker to middle linebacker during the offseason. But Mortensen looked at home at the middle spot, directing teammates and making big hits. Mike Rivera played well with the second-team defense, but Mortensen was more impressive on Sunday.
Brandon McAnderson, senior fullback —McAnderson lined up in a number of different positions for the Jayhawks and was productive in every situation. He totaled 80 rushing yards on 15 carries and eight receiving yards on one reception. McAnderson wasn't just versatile, he was
elusive. The 235-pound back appeared quicker than last season, running around defenders instead of over them.
John Larson, junior defensive end The battle for playing time at the defensive end position was one of the most intriguing of the spring. With four capable candidates vying for two spots, the situation was very fluid. However, Larson may have assured himself a starting spot with his performance in the scrimmage. Playing with the first team, he recorded five tackles, recovered a fumble and sacked Todd Reesing in the first quarter. Kansas looks stacked at the defensive end position with the stout Larson and lanky Russell Broers putting the clamps on the quarterback.
3 players who disappointed
Angus Quigley, sophomore running back — Quigley, by far the most physically gifted back on the roster, never lined up in the backfield. He was instead used mainly as a slot receiver, playing on the second squad. Quigley made two catches for 17 yards but looked out of sorts playing at his new position. Coach Mark Mangino attributed Quigley's rust to having missed a few practices.
Darrell Stuckey, sophomore safety/punt returner — Stuckey may not have the title of punt returner next to his name anymore. He was fabulous on defense, making big hits at the line of scrimmage and returning an interception for a touchdown. He was not so successful when it came to holding onto punts. Even though every
punt return was an automatic fair catch in the scrimmage, Stuckey looked nervous and missed several easy catches. Junior cornerback Gary Green looked much more steady fielding punts.
Donte Bean, sophomore running back — Bean cannot be solely taken to task for his performance on Sunday, considering the second-team offensive line provided little in the way of blocking, but he was the least impressive of all the Jayhawk backs. With Jake Sharp limited by a minor injury, Bean was the most frequently used tailback. He did not take advantage of the opportunity, rushing for one yard on 10 carries.

Ford CEO gives advice
BY JOE HUNT
Alan Mulally said working together was something he loved, although he didn't invent the idea.
"That would be like AI Gore saying he invented the Internet," Mulally, president and CEO of Ford Motor Company and KU alumnus, said.
Working together was a key focus during Mulally's speech Monday night at the Lied Center.
In his time as president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes and Ford, Mullaly stressed putting people first and including everyone in projects. Communication was key in this process.
"The biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it occurs," Mutally said. "The fact that you say something and expect them to know what it means; that's arrogant."
Mulally said coworkers should share a unified plan that was understood by all. When problems arose, Mulally said he wanted to be around people who found a way to make things work. He said he saw that kind of people at the University.
"There is not an institution in the world that has more motivated, more skilled and neater students than the University of Kansas," Mully said.
Mulally grew up in Lawrence workingseveral jobs,startingwith a paper route. He then moved to a bag boy position at Dillons grocery store before he was inspired by President Kennedy via television to become an astronaut. He switched from liberal arts classes to aeronautical and astronautical engineering at the University.
"The biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it occurs."
ALAN MULALLY President and CEO, Ford Motor Company
"They didn't tell me to be an astronaut,
you had to be perfect," Mulally said.
He was removed from the space training program because he was slightly color blind.
Upon graduation a KU professor who had just left a position at Boeing recommended that Mulally try to get work there. Mulally was hired and drove his Volkswagen Beetle across the country to Seattle.
Much of Mulally's speech was a question and answer session because he said he was a "customer-oriented person."
Mulally said a big issue with the automobile industry was the state of the environment. He proposed a few alternative methods of fuel for the future. One was using ethanol to power

Man kills 32 in shooting spree
BY SUE LINDSEY ASSOCIATED PRESS
BLACKSBURG, Va. — A gunman massacred 32 people at Virginia Tech in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history Monday, cutting down his victims in two attacks two hours apart before the university could grasp what was happening and warn students.
The bloodbath ended with the gunman committing suicide, bringing the death toll to 33 and stamping the campus in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains with unspeakable tragedy, perhaps forever.
Investigators gave no motive for the attack. The gunman's name was not immediately released, and it was not known if he was a student.
"Today the university was struck with a tragedy that we consider of monumental proportions," Virginia Tech President Charles Steger said. "The university is shocked and indeed horrified."
But he was also faced with difficult questions about the university's handling of the emergency and whether it did enough to warn students and

Wielding two handguns and carrying multiple clips of ammunition, the killer opened fire about 7:15 a.m. on the fourth floor of West Amber Johnston, a high-rise coed dormitory, then stormed Norris Hall, a classroom building a half-mile away on the other side of the 2,600-acre campus.

Judge delays Wal-Mart, city trial
New commission has until Sept. 10 to discuss plan
BY MATT ERICKSON
》 BUSINESS
A lawsuit challenging the city's denial of a building permit for the Wal-Mart was scheduled to go to court Monday, but a Douglas County district judge last week
A new city commission means a new round of discussion on the potential construction of a second Lawrence Wal-Mart store at Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive.
delayed the trial until Sept. 10 at the request of the city, Wal-Mart and the site's developers.
"We got a new commission, two new commissioners."
The city requested the delay so the new city commission could discuss the Wal-Mart issue for the first time at its May 1 meeting.
SUE HACK
Lawrence mayor
"We've got a new commission, two new commissioners," said mayor Sue Hack. "This was an opportunity to bring them up to speed."
New commissioners Mike Dever and Rob Chestnut replaced Mike Rundle and David Schauner, two of the commissioners who voted against the most recent Wal-Mart building proposal in a 3-2 decision. The only remaining commissioner who rejected that plan is Dennis "Boog" Highberger. Hack and commissioner Mike Amyx voted for the plan.
Highberger said he opposed the delay of the trial because the former commission had already made a decision about the Wal-Mart issue.
Hack said the previous commission rejected the last Walmart proposal because of concerns with the increase of traffic in the area and the increase in retail businesses citywide.
"My feeling was that those issues had been addressed in a compromise plan," Hack said.
Angie Stoner, Wal-Mart spokesperson, said Wal-Mart would begin new discussions with the city at the May 1 meeting "to possibly start discussing future plans for the project."
Hack said the May 1 discussion would not involve any specific development plans, but instead would serve as an opportunity for the new commissioners to participate in their first discussion of the issue. She said members of all parties involved, including neighbors of the property and other members of the public, were invited to make comments.
The lawsuit between Wal-Mart and the city dates back to 2003. The building site's developers first proposed a Wal-Mart store in 2002.

ODD NEWS Breathlizers mandated at Catholic school dances
DUBJQUE, Iowa — Wahlert High School students are being tested to make sure they're not DUI — dancing under the influence.
Officials at the Catholic school said students will have to undergo a breath test before they are admitted to any school-sponsored dances for the rest of this school year, including the May 5 prom
"Our goal is to do what we can do to ensure that our events are alcohol-free," Principal Don Sisler said. "It's a big step, but it's a real simple one."
A consent form giving the school permission to administer the test was sent home to parents along with a letter from Sisler.
Students from other schools who attend the dance also will be required to bring a signed consent form, Sisler said.
Students who test positive will

Sisler said the school previously used breath tests on an individual basis when officials suspected alcohol use at dances.
Volunteers clip salmon fins at Oregon hatchery
Bill Bakke, executive director of the Native Fish Society, said it's important that hatchery fish are marked if they are introduced into rivers, so fishermen can keep them and throw back the wild ones.
NETARTS, Ore. — When a salmon reared at the Whiskey Creek Fish Hatchery grows up, fishermen will be able to distinguish it from a wild chinook by the absence of a tiny fin.
"They wake up and have no idea what's happened to them," said Jerry Dove, 68, president of Tillamook Anglers, which organized the gathering.
More than 350 volunteers turned out over the weekend for the hatchery's annual fin-clipping day, teaming up to give about 100,000 young salmon a telltale snip.
Hatchery fish can be a problem, he said, because they compete with wild fish for food and may interbreed with them, possibly creating genetically inferior offspring.
The hatchery raises 200,000 salmon a year and places them in the Wilson and Trask rivers.

Mammoth skeleton sells for record-setting amount
PARIS- If you were looking for the skeleton of a prehistoric mammoth, Monday was your day to buy. Christie's auction house sold one for $421,200 — a world record
The unidentified buyer was a European who collects contemporary art and 19th century furniture, Christie's spokeswoman Capucine Millot said.
The mammoth sale was one of a dozen world records set during Monday's auction.
The 10,000-year-old skeleton of a 13.5-foot-long rhinoceros sold for a record $162,000. That of a 7.5-foot-high prehistoric cave bear sold for $63,180.
The skeletons previously were owned by private collectors.
Most were bought by individuals, although a German museum and a French museum — neither identified — purchased fossils for smaller sums. Milli said.

Nor'easter leaves nine dead, devastates coast
"This one is really a horror show," Gov. Eliot Spitzer said after touring hard-hit areas north of New York City.
CROTON-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. — A menacing spring storm punished the Northeast for a second straight day Monday, dumping more than 8 inches of rain on Central Park and sending refrigerators and pickup trucks floating down rivers in one of the region's worst storms in recent memory.
The nor'easter left a huge swath of devastation, from the beaches
of South Carolina to the mountains of Maine. It knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of people and was blamed for at least nine deaths nationwide, including a New Jersey man who drowned inside a car.
The storm showed no immediate sign of letting up. The National Weather Service predicted showers through Wednesday night in the New York City area, with rain mixed with snow at times.

Filmmaker documents Phelps
BY BETHANY BUNCH
"Fall From Grace," an hour and 15-minute documentary surrounding Fred Phelps, was shown last night at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The documentary was shown for the second time on campus by student filmmaker Ryan Jones, Wichita senior.
The film was selected to be screened early last month at the South by Southwest Film Conference and Festival in Austin, Texas. The annual event features the art and business of independent filmmaking by young cinematographers. Jones said he was one of the youngest filmmakers at the conference.
"For anyone to get into the festival is really a big deal," Jones said. "It was very well received."
"Fall From Grace" was such a success at the conference that Jones' brother, Garrett said, Morgan
Spurlock, director of "Super Size Me," expressed interest in Jones'
film. Garrett and his parents traveled with Jones to the conference.
"He was handing out filers for the film and handed one to Morgan Spurlock," Garrett said. "He said he wanted to see his film."
Ninety-eight percent of the church's members are in the Phils family
"I wasn't really that surprised by anything I saw. It's just an interesting group of people that can't be understood."
RYAN JONES
Wichita senior, filmmaker
The documentary was enjoyed among the emotionally charged audience last night, too. Applause broke out twice during the movie, both times in response to the silencing of the Phelps' family message: God hates fags.
Phelps is the minister of his 75-member church in Topeka.
Members picket thousands of events worldwide, including several KU events.
Jones spent several weeks with the Phelps family and at Fred Phelps' church, West boro Baptist Church,
in Topeka. He said the most difficult part of taping was obtaining access to interview Fred.
"I see them as very flawed individuals," Jones said. "But I can't shake how nice they were to me."
Adrienne Rainger, Quinter senior, said she attended the screening of the film after having some classroom knowledge of the Phelps
family.
"I wasn't really that surprised by anything I saw," Rainger said. "It's an interesting group of people that can't be understood."
Jones showed the Westboro Baptist Church members the completed film before its debut at the University last month. He said the congregation was pleased with the outcome, even though they disagreed with the opposing positions the movie presented.
"It didn't surprise me that the family liked it because they told me beforehand that even if there is only one of their signs seen in the film then it would be a success," Jones said.

Seattle newspapers settle four-year dispute
BY GENE JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Seattle's two daily newspapers have agreed to settle a legal dispute that threatened to close the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, erasing a cloud that has hung over the city's journalism industry for the past four years.
The Seattle Times Co. and Hearst Corp., which publishes the P.I. announced the settlement in separate statements. The two had been headed for binding, closed-door arbitration to settle disagreements with their joint operating agreement, which The Times contended was no longer financially viable.
"It's a new beginning for the P-I," said Hearst spokesman Paul Luthringer.
Under the agreement, which took effect in 1983 to save the P-I, The Times handles printing, circulation and advertising for both papers, and keeps 60 percent of their joint profits.
Hearst will pay The Times $25 million in exchange for not seeking to end the agreement before 2016. The Times, meanwhile, will pay Hearst $49 million to settle the litigation and buy Hearst's right to collect 32 percent of The Times' profits through 2083 if the P-I closes _ "Now no one can argue that Hearst might have a financial interest in seeing the P-I fold," Luthringer said.
Even though the settlement requires The Times to pay a net $24 million to maintain an arrangement that its officials have long criti-
cited, Times Chief Executive and Publisher Frank Blethen called the deal "very good news for us"
"It gives us a longer period of time to see if we can make this model work." Blethen told a news conference. "The huge $64 question for all of us is, are newspapers going to survive? ... I'm still very skeptical that it will work."
Gene Balk, a Times news researcher and the newspaper's unit chairman for the Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild, said staffers were struggling to understand what effect the deal would have on The Times.
"We've been operating under this assumption that we can't really survive under the JOA," he said. "Now, we are going to be operating under the JOA still, so it does raise a lot of questions."
Blethen noted that the deal would allow The Times to stop spending millions of dollars a year on litigation, focus on adapting to an Internet-driven world, and avoid the uncertainty of binding arbitration. Blethen and Times President and Chief Operating Officer Carolyn Kelly said no decisions had been made about when the company would pay Hearst, where exactly the money would come from or whether the deal would require lay-offs at The Times.
Reporters and editors at the P-I, some of whom had taken side jobs as professors or bartenders in case the paper closed, burst into applause when Publisher Roger Oglesby walked into the newsroom Monday morning with several lawyers who worked on the settlement.

Parties drop complaints of election violations
BYASHLEE KIELER
After an election week riddled with violation complaints against the Delta Force and United Students coalitions, the parties seem to have made peace. Each coalition withdrew its complaints against each other Monday night at the Election Commission meeting.
Delta Force filed a violation complaint last week citing that the United Students coalition defamed Delta Force presidential nominee John Cross, Kansas City, Mo., junior, saying he had authored and passed only one bill while in Senate. The complaint said Cross authored three bills.
United Students members told potential voters that Hannah Love, Dodge City junior and presidential candidate for United Students, and running mate Ray Wittlinger, Olathe junior, authored and passed a combined 29 bills. The complaint said Love and Wittlinger actually passed a combined 17 bills.
Delta Force dropped the complaint in order to move on.
"We realized it was a misunderstanding and rather than drag out the complaint we've decided to look ahead to the future" said Jack Connor, Overland Park junior and the complaint filer.
United Students withdrew its violation complaint against Delta Force for the improper use of mass e-mails to potential voters.
Had the complaint been heard and United Students been found guilty of using malicious intent in the statements, the coalition could have been disqualified and Love and Wittlinger could have been removed from their new positions.
HEALTH
"We feel that with the conclusion of the election it's time for the coalitions to come together for students," Wittlinger said.
Kansan staff writer Ashlee Kieler can be contacted at akieler@kansan.com.
The complaint cited Delta Force for using a mass e-mail to remind friends to vote. Wittlinger said that it wasn't right to get off on the wrong foot after elections.
Doctors drill holes in patients' skulls for therapy
WASHINGTON — The first dozen Parkinson's patients to have holes drilled in their skulls for a novel gene therapy attempt werent harmed and hints at some improvement have researchers embarking on a larger study to see if the treatment really may work. Doctors reported initial results of the closely watched experiment at a neurology meeting Monday, but cautioned that it's far too soon to raise hopes.

gradually destroys brain cells that produce dopamine, a chemical crucial for the cellular signaling that controls muscle movement. Too little dopamine causes increasingly severe tremors and periodically stiff or frozen limbs.
Standard treatments can control tremors for a while but can't stop the disease's inevitable march. So scientists are hunting ways to protect remaining dopamine-producing neurons, and rescue dying ones. Previous attempts with growth factors haven't panned out. The new approach uses gene therapy — injecting a virus that carries a gene that in turn produces the growth factor neururin — to try to get the protein right where it's needed.

RESIDENCE HALL
Templin revels in'TP"-themed Pride Week
BY KATY BLAIR
Templin Hall is buzzing with activities for its first Pride Week.
The residence hall staff planned events around a toilet paper theme, which made "TP" a necessity for the week.
"We just wanted to do something for the residents," said Laura
assistant complex director.
"To show them that we appreciate them."
Remington said most of the other halls have social events for the residents, so she wanted to start a tradition for Templin, too.
"We thought it would be really interesting to leave something behind from our staff this year."
"We thought it would be really interesting to leave something behind from our staff this year," said Ozzy Bravo, Lima, Peru junior and resident advisor.
"I'm going to try to get to as much as I can this week," Jones said. "But the hot dogs, that sounds like fun."
him was the hot dog eating contest.
Jones said he would definitely participate in the contest, which will start once the fashion show is complete.
Resident advisors spoke with the students on their floor and came up with a list of popular events. The staff then tried to pick a week that was less academically stressful for students.
Wednesday is "Wear Your TP Week T-shirt" day, and Thursday the

The week started with doughnuts, snow cones and a global awareness program on Monday. Students were also able to work with the Career Center to make or improve resumes
residents will enjoy massages by certified masseuses. For Friday night, the staff incorporated Student Union Activities' casino night as the finale for the week's events.
Remington said she was most looking forward to the toilet paper fashion show that will start at 8 tonight.
To help the Lawrence community, the Templin staff is collecting toiletries this week to be given to Lawrence Community Center.
Nathan Jones, Wichita sophomore, said Tuesday's main event for

Speaker grades separation of church, state
>> PUBLIC LECTURE
BY KATY BLAIR
The United States got a C+ on its current attempts at separating church and state.
Derek H. Davis announced his final grade for the U.S. Monday evening during his lecture, "Explaining the complexities of religion and state in the United States" Davis lectured about his thoughts on a deteriorating separation between religion and government matters.
"There are lots of conflicts, anomalies and inconsistencies in the whole system," said Davis, dean of the college of humanities at the University of Mary-Hardin Baylor in Belton, Texas. "Lots of people think we can't have prayers before athletic events, and yet the U.S. Congress has people who are paid with your tax-payer dollars to stand in front of them every day to lead these sessions with prayers."
Davis said one erosion of the separation idea deals directly with schools.
Private schools have become dependent on government money
to function. Not only does government financial support conflict the idea of religion being independent from government, but it will result in decreasing public duty to support those religious institutions.
J. R. Madill, a Baptist minister in Columbia, Mo., said the separation of church and state was crucial to the success of the nation.
Davis expanded on his point by addressing political issues that combine the church and state in the country. Presidential candidates are
"I think the church relies far too much on the government to do what
reliance on one another will help both prosper.
"There are lots of conflicts anomalies and inconsistencies in the whole system."
DEREK H. DAVIS Dean of the college of humanities at Mary-Hardin Baylor
it was created to do," Madill said. "I think that by allowing the two to be intertwined, we really sort of cheat both."
Madill said that if the U.S. wants to be a secular society by definition, it must exclude specific religious groups from any authoritative leadership roles. The Columbia minister said that interaction rather than
not required to adhere to one religion, but Davis said they were unofficially expected by the public to express their religious beliefs.
some religious practices were accepted in government because they create a national identity.
However, Davis said there was such a thing as "civil religion," where practices were
Civil religion includes the national motto, "In God We Trust," and even the religious symbols on the back of the dollar bill.
Davis said civil religion has a place in society, but misuses were a detriment to its success. Davis'
example of such misuse was former President George Bush using religion as a justification for the Gulf War.
He explained that President Bush compared the U.S. to Jesus Christ as the light of the world, representing good. To stamp out the evil, or Iraq, he proposed going to war, hoping the religious representation would spur support.
Rich Morrell, Warrensburg, Mo., resident, said Davis discussed concerns for our nation that were important to address. He added that the separation of church and state was necessary for both to function correctly.
"I think that the separation of church and state has served our nation very well," Morrell said. "When we have this creeping of religion into government, we actually devalue the value of religion."

>> STUDENT LOANS
Investors buy Sallie Mae amid legal troubles
Edited by Joe Caponio
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A group of investors announced plans Monday to buy Sallie Mae, taking the nation's largest student lender private in a $25 billion deal that comes as some regulators call for tougher standards and lower federal subsidies for the $85 billion college loan industry.
Private-equity firm J.C. Flowers & Co. and three other investors will pay $60 per share for the Reston, Va.-based SLM Corp., commonly referred to as Sallie Mae. The sale price represents a nearly 50 percent premium for Sallie Mae's previously sagging stock before takeover rumors emerged last week.
SLM shares traded up more than 17 percent on the New York Stock Exchange after the buyout was announced Monday.
J. C. Flowers and private-equity firm Friedman Fleischer & Lowe will invest $4.4 billion and own 50.2 percent of the company, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase each will invest $2.2 billion and each will own 24.9 percent. The buyers will also provide Sallie Mae with $200 billion in backup financing.
John Oros, a managing director at I.C. Flowers, said the firm was drawn by Sallie Mae's stock price,
which had fallen to around $40 per share before takeover talks began. The investors also weren't deterred by the prospect of a clampdown on the industry by lawmakers.
"We think Sailie Mae is a great company and a great business, and appropriate regulation will sort itself out in a way that will make this an attractive transaction for us," Oros said.
Sallie Mae is by far the largest school lender, originating $23.4 billion in student loans last year, many of them federally subsidized such as widely used Stafford loans. The company has recently expanded into other areas of lending, such
as debt collection and 529 college savings plans.
But it has also been subject to greater attention from lawmakers and regulators currently probing ties between lenders and college officials who guide students toward specific lenders for their loans.
Last week, Sallie Mae setteu with New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo over the company's business practices, agreeing to pay $2 million to a student loan education fund. It will also no longer pay travel and entertainment expenses for university officials or send its employees to work for free in campus financial aid offices.

Other developing technologies include cars that run on hydrogen and electricity, ideally only releasing water out of the tail pipe.

VIRGINIA TECH SHOOTING

Security always top priority
University Relations shows sympathy, applies lessons learned
BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT
Officials from the University on Kansas responded Monday to the morning's deadly attacks at Virginia Tech and addressed safety concerns
Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said the University had response plans which were constantly being updated.
"We always have to learn from other tragedies and apply them," Cohen said. "It's appalling, unfortunate, and all we can do is pray for the survivors at Virginia Tech and try to apply the lessons learned."
Cohen related the attacks to the Columbine, Colo., shootings in 1999.
"It could be like Columbine, where you look at what happened and change accordingly," Cohen said. "We'll be looking at what worked and what didn't."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway released a statement Monday morning;
"Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the Virginia Tech University family today. The horrific tragedy that occurred this morning is so immense it is difficult to comprehend."
Hemenway also addressed security in his statement to the KU community.
"It is a chilling reminder why campus security must always be a top priority. The safety of our students, faculty, staff and visitors is paramount," he said.
Jennifer Jensen, Goodland junior, said she heard about the shootings through classmates who were watching news stories on their cell phones during her morning class.
"Both the amount of people around and seeing the police drive
ing around makes it feel like a pretty safe place," Jensen said. "I just think it's horrible. I should be more protection, but I don't know what that would mean. It could happen anywhere."

An unidentified person is carried out of Norris Hall at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., on Monday after a shooting incident. A gunman opened fire in a dorm and classroom on the campus, killing at least 30 people in the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history. The gunman is killed but it's unclear if he was shot by police or took his own life.
Alan Kim/THE ROANOKE TIMES
VIRGINIA TECH (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Two people died in a dorm room, and 31 others were killed in Norris Hall, including the gunman, who put a bullet in his head. At least 15 people were hurt, some seriously.
At an evening news conference, Police Chief Wendell Flinchum refused to dismiss the possibility that a co-conspirator or second shooter was involved. He said police had interviewed a "person of interest" in the dorm shooting who knew one of the victims, but he declined to give details.
"I'm not saying there is someone out there, and I'm not saying there is someone who is not," Flinchum said. Ballistics tests will help explain what happened, he said.
Sheree Mixell, a spokeswoman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the evidence was being moved to the agency's national lab in Annandale. At least one firearm was turned over, she said.
Mixell would not comment on
think I was the last," said Calhoun, of Waynesboro, Va. He landed in a bush and ran.
The instructor was killed, he said.
Calhoun said that the two students behind him were shot, but that he believed they survived. Just before he climbed out the window, Calhoun said, he turned to look at the professor, who had stayed behind, perhaps to block the door.
what types of weapons were used or whether the gunman was a student.
Trey Perkins, who was sitting in a German class in Norris Hall, told The Washington Post that the gunman barged into the room at about 9:50 a.m. and opened fire for about a minute and a half, squeezing off about 30 shots.
The gunman first shot the professor in the head and then fired
"I must've been the eighth or ninth person who jumped, and I think I was the last."
Students jumped from windows in panic. Young people and faculty members carried out some of the wounded themselves, without waiting for ambulances to arrive. Many found themselves trapped behind chained and padlocked doors. SWAT team members with helmets, flak jackets and assault rifles swarmed over the campus. A student used his cell-phone camera to record the sound of bullets echoing through a stone building.
Screams followed an instant later, and the banging continued. When students realized the sounds were gunshots, Calhoun said, he started flipping over desks for hiding places. Others dashed to the windows of the second-floor classroom, kicking out the screens and jumping from the ledge of Room 204, he said.
Alec Calhoun, a 20-year-old junior, said he was in a 9:05 a.m. mechanics class when he and classmates heard a thunderous sound from the classroom next door — "what sounded like an enormous hammer."

Yorktown, Va., a sophomore studying mechanical engineering. "And the shots seemed like it lasted forever."
Students said that there were no public-address announcements after the first shots. Many said they learned of the first shooting in an e-mail that arrived shortly before the gunman struck again.
"I think the university has blood on their hands because of their lack of action after the first incident," said Billy Bason, 18, who lives on the seventh floor of the dorm.
Steger defended the university's conduct, saying authorities believed that the shooting at the dorm was a domestic dispute and mistakenly thought the gunman had fled the campus.
Steger emphasized that the university closed off the dorm after the first attack and decided to rely on e-mail and other electronic means to spread the word, but said that with 11,000 people driving onto campus first thing in the morning, it was difficult to get the word out.
"We had no reason to suspect any other incident was going to occur," he said.

"I'm just dumbfounded, speechless," Drake said. "It makes me realize something like that can happen anywhere."
Kansas women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson spent 14 years of her coaching career at Virginia Tech, including the seven years before she came to Kansas in 2004. She said the Virginia Tech campus was similar to the University of Kansas campus.
"It's a safe place, it really is," Henrickson said. "It just shows you what a scary world we live in."
Henrickson, who was in her office when she was told about the shootings, said she immediately called current Virginia Tech women's basketball coach Beth Dunkenberger to make sure she was all right.
"She said, 'You can't possibly imagine what it's like right now," Henrickson said. "The senselessness is just hard to grasp. It's tough to watch."

"We've had two false bomb threats lately, and I just thought of that," Grey said. "I just walked in and sat down."
For the next two hours, Grey and six others, including a professor, were locked in their classroom across the street. They watched the scene unfold as "police car after police car" and "ambulance after ambulance showed up and sped off," Grey said.
When the classroom was finally unlocked, Grey returned to his oncampus residence hall and began watching news coverage.
"It's pretty depressing to see the death toll rise. Just incredible." Grey said.
He said all of his friends were so far accounted for.
"I honestly never thought anything of this magnitude would happen anywhere, not just on campus," Grey said. "It always just felt so secure."
Joshua Nold, Auburn, Kan. junior, said the news immediately reminded him of the Columbine High School attack in 1999.
"It makes you wonder if it was someone going through misfit stuff," Nold said. "That's not the type of thing you think goes on in college."
Nold said he would never expect anything similar to happen at the University.
"Lawrence seems like too peaceful a place. That's probably the same way they felt out there in Virginia, though," Nold said.

Effects of NBA draft warrant scrutiny
Julian Wright's announcement to leave the University of Kansas for the NBA draft raises several concerns regarding "student athletes." These athletes, often just teenagers, are caught between the commitment and pride of college sports and the money and added incentives of professional athletics. Oftentimes it's the student athlete who, while seeming to hold all the power, is the ultimate loser in this process.
Some players make the transition from a couple years of college ball to the professional leagues effortlessly. Paul Pierce left the University to enter the NBA draft and hasn't looked back since. Some players face factors such as team dynamics, injuries and lack of preparedness to up their level of play, which cause them to quickly fade out before they've had a chance to shine.
This is when the student athlete becomes the biggest loser. He or she has no diploma, not enough money to live off and crushed hoop dreams. These stories happen all too often; stories of money made from those players, by their colleges and then many sponsorships, are
nowhere to be found when the dust settles and the last fan leaves the venue. No matter how often those corporate sponsors or professional-league bigwigs tell the players it's about them, it rarely is. The partnership is solely based on money. Not the player.
The role of the big time "student athlete" is due for reevaluation. Perhaps paying them to play in college would keep them in school for four years and they could earn a diploma to fall back on, just in case. Maybe a redrawing of the professional draft rule might be in order.
Whatever the case, a prime-time, cover-of-national-magazine "student athlete" is more than just your typical sophomore in college. The added responsibility, hours put in and pressure may seem glorious and worth it for those on the outside looking in, but the local fame isn't enough. Offtimes these youths, barely legal adults, are the victims of the moneymaking sports machine. More care ought to be placed in protecting them.

COMMENTARY
Beards hold important place in history, if not on campus
Long, sustained looks a good way to evaluate one's own level of 'beardism'
Before you read this column I have an assignment for you. Take out a pen, preferably a black one, and sketch a beard on my picture. You are now looking at a representation of what I would like my photo to be.
There's an underground population of us at the University of Kansas who cannot grow enough of a beard to show up even faintly in a photograph.
I have been waiting to look like Grizzly Adams since I shaved for the first time at age 14. Yet each
year passes and I still glare at a clean face in the mirror.
Of course, not everyone shares my approval of beards. You may be asking right now, "But Sam, why would anyone want a beard?" The answer lies in the recesses of human history. It confronts the very question of what a man's face was made to do.
Men have struggled to decide what to do with their facial hair for several thousand years. History has seen times in which men lost sight of their chins at an early age and
never glimpsed them again; at other times, shaving becomes the law of the land.
In the fourth century B.C., Alexander the Great decreed that his soldiers

You may be unaware that you are a beardist. To test yourself, go on campus and stare at a someone with a beard for 20 seconds — but don't be too obvious about it. If during that time you formulate any thoughts containing the words "gross," "dirty" or "too much," then you probably have at least a minor case of beardism.

>> SUV ACCIDENT
Governor's surgery continues
BY GEOFF MULVIHILL ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAMDEN, N.J. — Gov. Jon S.
Corzine on Monday underwent another operation on the leg he broke in a highway crash that left him in critical condition.
The hour-long surgery at Cooper University Hospital, performed to clean out the 6-inch wound created when his left femur broke, was "uneventful," said Andrew Poag, a spokesman for the governor.
Corzine remained in critical but stable condition. He also broke 12 ribs, his collarbone and chest bone and suffered some other, more minor injuries in Thursday's accident.
"He continues to do, thankfully, far better than one would expect anyone with these injuries to do," said Dr. Steven Ross, the head of the trauma unit at Cooper.
Physicians also operated to clean the leg wound on Saturday and a titanium rod was inserted into his leg after the crash Thursday. On Sunday he underwent a brief procedure to remove fluid that had collected outside his left lung.
Previously, doctors said they would evaluate after the surgery whether Corzine would be strong enough to breathe without a ventilator that was put in shortly after the accident.
Corzine, 60, was injured when the sport utility vehicle he was riding in crashed on the Garden State Parkway just north of Atlantic City.
The SUV, which was being driven by a state trooper, was hit by another vehicle that swerved to avoid a pickup truck, sending the governor's vehicle skidding into a guard rail.
Corzine had been on his way to a meeting at his mansion in Princeton between radio show host Don Imus and the Rutgers women's basketball team.
The governor apparently was not wearing his seat belt as he rode in the front passenger's seat.
Doctors said Monday they would reduce the amount of sedation and give Corzine some control over the amount of pain medication he receives.
Corzine's relatives said he recognized them and responded to visitors when they saw him Sunday.
"When you talk to him, he can recognize your voice, that's my feeling," said Joshua Corzine, 30, the eldest of Corzine's two sons. "He definitely responds when you let him know who you are."
The governor's children and his girlfriend, Sharon Elghanayan, said they were feeling positive about his condition.
"We're giving him the thumbsup right now, so we're really feeling good about what's happening," said the governor's daughter, Jennifer Pasani.
SECURITY
SECURITY Businessman sentenced for terrorist conspiracy
NEW YORK — A bookstore owner was sentenced to 13 years in prison Monday for his role in a conspiracy to fund terrorist groups abroad.
Abdulrahman Farhane, 52, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Loretta A. Preska in Manhattan after he pleaded guilty in November to money laundering and lying to federal agents.
Prosecutors said Farhane and the musician, Tarik Shah, spoke
with an FBI informant in December 2001 about a plot to help terrorists in Afghanistan buy weapons and communications equipment to fight American soldiers.
Shah and Mahmud Faruq Brent Al Mutazzim, have pleaded guilty to agreeing to provide material support to terrorist organizations and are awaiting sentencing.
Farhane's lawyer, Michael Hueston, argued that his client should be treated leniently because another man convicted of aiding al-Qaida, David Hicks, recently reached a deal to serve a nine-month sentence in his home-town of Adelaide, Australia, after a military proceeding at the U.S. naval base at Cuba's Guantanamo Bay.

MEDIA AWARDS
Wall Street Journal takes home Pulitzer Prizes for coverage in U.S., China
BY DEEPTI HAJELA ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The Wall Street Journal won two Pulitzer Prizes on Monday for exposing excesses of capitalism — in America and in communist China. The Associated Press captured one for what the judges called a "powerful photograph" of a lone Jewish woman defying Israeli security forces.
The journalism prizes recognized a range of American print journalism on subjects from the world's oceans to corruption in Alabama colleges to restaurant reviews.
The Journal, the only multiple winner, was honored for public service for its coverage of the stockoptions scandal that rattled corporate America in 2006. It also won the international reporting award for what the judges praised as "sharply edged reports on the adverse impact of China's booming capitalism on conditions ranging from inequality to pollution."
"They were just tremendous pieces of work and I'm very proud of them," Managing Editor Paul Steiger
said. "One of the most important missions of The Wall Street Journal is to expose ills in business so that they can be corrected. And this coverage resulted in more than 100 companies coming under investigation and many companies having to restate their earnings"
The AP captured the Pulitzer for breaking news photography for Oded Balilty's picture of the Jewish woman resisting Israeli security forces face-to-face as they removed settlers in the West Bank. The AP was a finalist in the same category for photos from the war between Israel and Hezbollah, including one by Bality.
"I feel like today I kissed the moon. It's amazing. I'm so happy, also for myself and also for the bureau," Balilty said.
The staff of The (Portland) Oregonian won for breaking news for its reporting on a California family that disappeared in the mountains during a blizzard. James Kim and his family took a wrong turn while returning home to San Francisco following a Thanksgiving trip. Kim was found dead after his wife and two
young daughters were rescued. The judges praised the newspaper for its "skillful and tenacious coverage ... telling the tragic story both in print and online."
"Our thoughts today are with the Kim family, for, as our reporting showed, this is a tragic accident that might have been avoided." Executive
Editor Peter
Bhatia said.
Reporters Kenneth R. Weiss, Usha Lee McFarling and photographer Rick Loomis of the Los Angeles Times won for explanatory reporting for stories on the world's distressed oceans.
The judges also praised the Times for its online work on the project, including video and photos by Loomis — reflecting the added consideration given to multimedia this year. The last time a photographer won in the explanatory reporting category was 1995.
"I feel like today I kissed the moon. It's amazing.I'm so happy, also for myself and also for the bureau."
This year's Pulitzers marked a significant expansion of online journalism in the entries. Newspapers were able to submit online material like video, blogs, databases and interactive graphics for all print categories.
"This is such great work, and it's such a great day," said Editor James O'Shea, surrounded by staffers in the newspaper's third-floor newsroom, where morale had been affected by job cuts and management departures.
ODED BALILTY Associated Press photographer
Sig Gissler, who administers
the Pulitzers, said online content was involved in about 15 percent to 20 percent of the entries in various forms.
Brett Blackledge of The Birmingham (Ala.) News won for investigative reporting for his exposure of cronyism and corruption in
the state's two-year college system. The stories resulted in the dismissal of the chancellor and other corrective action. The stories were also finalists in the public service category, but were moved to investigative reporting by the board.

Spring scrimmage brings surprises strong offense
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
BY ASHER FUSCO
As expected, junior cornerback Aqib Talib saw action on both sides of the ball Sunday.
Talib played the majority of the snaps at cornerback on defense and also lined up as the slot receiver on offense in the first half.
"He has all that defensive venom in him," said coach Mark Mangino. "He's a gifted player. He can do a lot of things for us."
Talib caught two passes and was overthrown by sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier on what could have been a 30-year gain down the sideline.
Last season, Talib saw nearly all of his snaps on defense. He did record one catch last season against Missouri.
"He has all that defensive venom in him. He's a gifted player. He can do a lot of things for us."
Unexpectedly, both of the quarterbacks were "live" during the first half of the spring scrimmage, meaning the defenders were free to tackle

"I had a little talk with the coaches," Mortensen said. "I know we need number 10 out there."
as Meier tried to get out-of-bounds. Mortensen quickly realized his error.
» Spring football often brings surprises, but almost no one expected Mortensen to play middle linebacker with the first team in favor of junior Mike Rivera. Mortensen played outside linebacker last season and was expected to fill the backup role to Rivera, the incumbent middle linebacker.
"They're going to have to find a way to put us both on the field,"
Mortensen said. "We just go out there we have fun and play hard. It's an intense competition but we have a good time."
Mortensen led the Blue team in tackles.
》 The offensive line looks like one of the most stable units on the team. Junior offensive lineman Anthony Collins and senior offensive lineman Cesar Rodriguez have locked up the tackle positions. Junior offensive linemen Ryan Cantrell and
Chet Hartley are the favorites at center and right guard, respectively. Junior offensive lineman Adrian Mayes is the favorite at left guard, but junior offensive lineman Matt Darton also saw action with the first unit on Sunday.

The Jayhawks were thin at wide receiver because of injuries to junior Dexton Fields and freshman Tertavian Ingram. Both players' injuries are considered minor.

BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Kansas Athletics announced Monday that it has signed a 10-year, $65 million multimedia contract with ESPN Regional Television and Host Communications.
Under the terms of the agreement, Host will serve multiple marketing functions for the Athletics Department. Among its functions will be selling, producing and distributing Kansas' radio broadcasts of football and men's and women's basketball games and coaches' shows. Host is also responsible for television broadcasts of games, game-day programs, corporate sponsorship, hospitality events and venue signage. ESPN Regional will manage the television production and distribution for Host and the department.
"We are delighted to be represented by two of the finest names in college sports", Athletics Director Lew Perkins said in a media release, "ESPN is recognized as a leader in college sports television, and Host is a pioneer in collegiate marketing, recognized as one of this country's top sports marketing agencies. Together, they give Kansas Athletics a great one-two punch."
"Kansas is one of the premier athletics programs in the nation," sad Tom Stullz, president and chief executive officer of Host. "We are thrilled and honored that KU and ESPN have chosen to work with Host. We look forward to being part of the Jayhawk family for a long time."
Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Texas.
The agreement signed Monday replaces a previous contract between Kansas Athletics and ESPN Regional. The previous contract, extended in July 2005, was good for seven years and worth $40.2 million.
This is the third major contract signed by the department since Perkins came to campus in 2003. Along with the two ESPN Regional contracts, Kansas is in the second year of a seven-year, $26.67 million athletic apparel and equipment contract with Adidas.
Host holds multimedia contracts with at least 10 major universities, including Big 12 Conference schools

The coaches focus in preparation for this year's meet was to bring in more high-quality collegiate teams, and Donley's familiarity with other school's track and field programs helped achieve that goal.

"The last minute details are the big thing," Donley said. "It's sort of like a small tidal wave, there's a little water at first and a lot of water at the end, and we just need to make sure all the little things get done."
"We have to thank coach Donley because he knows a lot of the coaches out there and was able to bring some of those teams in," head coach Stanley Redwine said.
The Kansas Relays begin at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Memorial Stadium.

Bourdais races from 13th to third
BY MIKE HARRIS ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONG BEACH, Calif.
Sebastien Bourdais isn't used to failure, and the weeks leading up to the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach were a worrisome time.
His version of the Panoz DP01 race car that everyone in the Champ Car World Series is using this season had some gremlins in the fuel system and transmission in preseason testing.
Then, at the season opener in Las Vegas, Bourdais had the worst race weekend of his Champ Car career. He had an electrical problem on the first day, hit the wall in qualifying the next day and, after overcoming three tire punctures, crashed and finished 13th.
"You do have some doubts after things like that happen," Bourdais said.
To get ready for Long Beach Bourdais took a day early in the week to relax and refresh himself by driving his wife and baby from Las Vegas to Southern California in a motor home.
"It gave me time to think and just remember how good my team is," he said. "I knew we would bounce back."
Indeed they did.
Bourdais dominated Sunday leading 58 of 78 laps on the way to his third straight victory in the streets of Long Beach.
"The team didn't panic after Vegas, which was crucial," the 28-year-old Frenchman said. "A lot of teams could really blow apart after a weekend like that. We didn't."
"That race was like a bad dream.
This is a whole lot nicer."
Bourdais, who has won 24 of 61 starts and three straight Champ Car titles, was certainly the class of the field here. He started from the pole and raced away to a nearly 25-second lead — about a third of a lap on the 1.968-mile, 11-turn
circuit - and appeared on the way to a rout.
But that lead disappeared when rookie Simon Pagenaud slid into a tire barrier on lap 53, bringing out one of three full-course caution flags.
After pit stops by the leaders, Bourdais found himself trailing rookie Tristan Gommendy, who was on a different pit strategy and had pitted last on lap 39. With surprising runner-up Oriol Servia conserving fuel and not pushing the leaders, Bourdais chose to be patient and wait for Gommendy to make his final stop.
"I made one try to pass Tristan and I decided it was better to back off and wait because he was pretty fast at that point," Bourdai said. "I didn't want to make a mistake and embarrass myself by winding up in the tires."
Bourdais regained the lead on lap 68 and stayed out front the rest of the way, easily holding off Servia on a restart on lap 77 after the last caution period.
It's the longest winning streak at Long Beach since Al Unser Jr. won a record four in a row from 1988 through 1991.
Servia, the 2005 series runner-up as Bourdais' teammate, started the weekend without a ride but took over for Paul Tracy after the 2003 series champion injured his back in a crash during Saturday's practice.
"I did a great job, but nothing compared to what the team did," Servia said of his Forsythe Championship Racing crew. "I had to adjust to the car, but I'm a race car driver. The team had to adjust to me and they gave me a fabulous car and great pit stops."
The victory moved Bourdais all the way from 13th to third in the standings.

Kobe Bryant carried the Los Angeles Lakers into the playoffs and left the Clippers and Golden State Warriors to fight for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
spot for Los Angeles. He scored 50 or more for the 10th time this season, the third-highest total in NBA history behind Wilt Chamberlain's 45 times with 50 or more in 1961-62, and the center's 30 times the following season.
"We feel much better. We needed this type of win," Bryant said.
Bryant said that when the playoffs begin, he may score a lot of points and he may not.
"If the jumper is on, we'll ride it
out," he said. "If it's not, we'll have to find another way to win. Our defensive continuity is going to be our biggest challenge."
Phil Jackson has never missed the playoffs in his 17 years as an NBA coach.
The Lakers, who have one regular-season game remaining, will finish seventh or eighth in the Western Conference and face either Dallas or Phoenix in the first round.

Pittsburgh gets 3-2 victory against St. Louis; Cards 1-5 at home since World Series
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS - Albert Pujols popped up with the bases loaded for the final out, and the Pittsburgh Pirates got an excellent pitching performance from Ian Snell in a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night.
Snell threw seven innings of three-hit ball and Xavier Nady had two RBIs, helping the Pirates snap a four-game losing streak. Salomon Torres escaped a bases-loaded jam in the ninth, retiring Chris Duncan
on a shallow fly to left and Pujols on a foul pop-up to third.
Anthony Reyes barely made it out of the first inning for the Cardinals, who are 1-5 at home since clinching the 2006 World Series. St. Louis swept a three-game series at Pittsburgh last week, beating Snell even though he allowed only one run in seven innings.
Freddy Sanchez singled and tripped for the Pirates, who are 5-2 on the road after finishing 24-57 away from home last year — the worst record in the National League. Pittsburgh, which returned to action
after two rain-outs at home last weekend, was 1-13 on the road to start 2006 and didn't win its fifth road game until June 5.
Snell (1-1) allowed one run with six strikeouts and four walks, two coming in his final inning when the Cardinals got an RBI single from Adam Kennedy and had the bases loaded with one out before pinch-hitter Skip Schumaker fouled out and David Eckstein grounded out.
Scott Rolen singled twice for the Cardinals, one with two outs in the first and the other leading off the seventh. Between those at-bats, Snell
His toughest inning by far was the seventh, when he faced seven hitters.
retired 16 of 17 batters with the stretch interrupted only by Yadier Molina's two-out walk in the fifth.
Jim Edmonds drove in his first run of the season with a bloop single off Damaso Marte that cut the deficit to one in the eighth. Torres worked the ninth for his fifth save in six chances, completing a six-hitter.
Reyes (0-2) needed 47 pitches to escape the first, allowing three hits and walking two while the Pirates took a 3-0 lead. The first run scored
on Jason Bay's bases-loaded, full-count walk, and Nady followed with a two-run single.
Reyes held off the Pirates his last four innings, stranding Sanchez after a leadoff triple in the third and getting Adam LaRoche on a double-play ball with runners on first and third to end the fifth. In five innings, Reyes gave up three runs and six hits.
Duncan was 1-for-5 for the Cardinals, making him 8-for-15 the last four games. Much criticized for his outfield play last season, Duncan also made the defensive stop of the
game with a diving grab on Sanchez's sinking liner for the first out in the eighth.
Notes:
》 Pirates LHP John Grabow (elbow irritation) allowed two hits and struck out one in a scoreless inning in his second rehab appearance for Triple-A Indianapolis
Pittsburgh went 64 innings without an error before LaRoche botched a slow grounder to first in the ninth

DE JESUS 9
Royals lose in Detroit
Duane Burleson/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Detroit Tigers shortstop Carlos Guillen avoids Kansas City Royals' David DeJesus to turn a double play on Jason LaRue in the sixth inning of a baseball game Monday in Detroit.
Rodriguez leads Tigers with 6 RBI grand slam in 12-5 victory
DETROIT - Seven months later, the Detroit Tigers managed to beat the Kansas City Royals.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
He added a two-run double in the second off Jason Standridge that put the Tigers ahead 7-2.
Ivan Rodriguez had a grand slam and six RBIs to back Justin Verlander's first win of the season in the Tigers' 12-5 victory against the Royals on Monday night.
After the Tigers loaded the bases on a single and two walks in the first against Zack Greinke (1-2), Rodriguez fouled off a pair of two-strike pitches before driving a 1-2 offering over the wall in right-center. It was the sixth career slam for Rodriguez, a drive estimated at 423 feet.
He allowed three runs and five hits in six innings, struck out six and walked none.
Verlander (1-0) had not allowed any earned runs in 13 innings coming in, but didn't get a decision in his first two starts.
Carlos Guillen had four RBIs for the Tigers, who were swept by lastplace Kansas City on the final weekend of last season, costing Detroit the AL Central title. As a wild-card team, Detroit beat the New York Yankees and Oakland in the playoffs, advancing to its first World Series since 1984 before losing in five games to St. Louis.
Detroit has three slams in 13 games — Curtis Granderson hit one on April 4 against Toronto and Craig Monroe had one in Baltimore on April 11. There was one grand slam in the entire National League entering Monday.
Greinke, who had been 6-0 in his prior eight starts against the Tigers, lasted just two-thirds of an innning,
the shortest of his 60 major league starts.
Kansas City did close to 4-2 in the second on RBI doubles by Emil Brown and John Buck, but Tony Pena Ir. misplayed Magglio Ordonez's potential double-play grounder to shortstop in the bottom half as Placido Polanco scored, and Rodriguez's double put the Tigers ahead by five.

moving Alex Gordon to shortstop and Pena to second. LaRue hadn't played third since 2001, and Gordon and Pena were making their major league debuts at those new positions. The moves came after second baseman Esteban German left with a sore shoulder. He is day to day.
Mach's two-run double put Oklahoma State (27-9, 8-4 Big 12 Conference) ahead 2-0 in the first inning.
Rodriguez fouled off a pair of two-strike pitches before driving a 1-2 offering over the wall in right center.
The Cowboys led 4-1 in the third inning after a solo home run by Rebel Ridling, but fell behind 5-4 in the top of the fourth as Kansas State (23-13, 5-7) scored four runs, two on a single by Derek Bunker.
Oklahoma State regained the lead in the bottom of the fourth on a two-run single by Mach. The Cowboys added three insurance runs in the seventh on a solo home run by Corey Brown, his 15th of the season, and a two-run homer by Jordy Mercer.
Justin Friend (4-2) relieved Matt Gardner in the fourth inning and picked up the pitching win for the Cowbys. Friend allowed three hits and struck out four in 5 1/3 innings.

》 ROYALS LOYAL
Any day at the 'K' a memorable one
BY DANIEL MOLINA
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
DMOIAL@KANKSAN.COM
Now that "second winter" has come and gone, the time is ripe to head east on Interstate 70 and catch a Royals game. It's an annual tradition for most baseball fans in the Kansas City area, yet the stadium has traditionally struggled to lure college students from Lawrence.
It took me a while to pin down the reason why so few KU students make the trek to the Truman Sports Complex, home of Kauffman Stadium and Arrowhead Stadium. Try to rule out the home team's horrid performance. Kansas City's lackluster play has gotten so much media attention the last few years it almost became "cool" to be a Royals fan at one point.
The second and most probable reason a majority of Jayhawks haven't flocked to the Kauffman, or the "K," routinely is that it really is the hidden beauty of Major League Baseball.
You don't have to be a baseball purist to enjoy the subtle simplicity of the place. You don't even have to enjoy baseball. Like social interaction? How about social interaction set in a stadium that rivals our own campus in terms of outdoor appeal?
Whatever the case, a day at the "K" is worth it. My Kauffman memories number almost 60, the team's total wins from the last five years.
I've gone when the first-inning score looked more like a perfect record for a football team than a score that would give a Royals fan any glimpse of hope for the following eight to come.
I've gone when the brutal midday sun and Midwest humidity damn near melted all the cheap John Buck
jersey giveaways.
I've gone when the wind chill in the teens shivered the life out of everyone in the stadium, players included. This was the only time in my life I have ever envired "Sluggerrr" and his warm costume
There is one common thread in each of those experiences: not once did I leave the ballpark upset or feeling like I wasted two and a half hours. How could you when you just witnessed America's pastime being played by some of the world's best - OK maybe not always - players in one of the most beautiful parks in the nation?
The scene set at Kauffman, even on the worst days, is picturesque. The fountains frame the outfield and are arguably the most distinguisable feature. Every park has its own special feature. Fenway has the Green Monster. Wrigley has its ivy vines, Kaufmann has its fountains.
There are also the two vehicles beyond left field. They would be out of place in any other venue but are strangely right at home in the "K." The Ford F-150 sits atop a perch that never stops spinning, while the Dodge Durango that is sit uated by the visiting team's bullpen has a "Hit it here!" sign that taunts right-handed hitters.
In a nutshell, the park oozes that good ol' Midwestern charm. When the dust settles on the upcoming planned renovations, I'm sure some part of me will miss the old "K."
Ever since I can remember, Kauffman has been a humble place, not too high on itself to show off a gazillion scoreboards that display random and useless statistics. ("Oh look, Mike Sweeney is 7-for-18 with runners in scoring position and a full moon in the sky!")
Whatever the end product of the renovations, let's hope the product on the field gets revamped as well.

Limited shirt sizes disappoint

Ah, the good of' University of Kansas football spring scrimage, where the tackling isn't too hard and the T-shirts are free of charge. But are they too large?
Seriously, good luck fitting into one of the complimentary T-shirts you get from the Athletics Department. Fans who
What about people like me, the victims in this case? My metabolism is abnormally fast. I stay skinny no matter what I eat. The weight-gaining impaired should be able to wear a free T-shirt that fits. After all, this is the United States.
"We've found most people want shirts that are a little bigger," Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said. "That's what we stuck with."
How hard would it be to make some mediums, or smalls for the kiddos? It's not about the money, Marchiony said, but that too many options may slow down entrance to an event, with people taking more
time to choose a shirt size.
Marchiony is right to an extent. Some people I talked to love the shirt sizes, but they were all males.
Yeah, people like Breanne Russell.
"My preference is large," Richie Schlozman, Overland Park freshman, said. "I can imagine there are people who they wouldn't fit, though."
"I use them as night shirts, or give them away to my dad," the Topeka senior said. "They are even too big for him."
Of the seven T-shirts I've collected at KU sporting events, five are folded up somewhere in the back of my closet, while the other two are decorative pillow cases for my living-room couch (thanks for the tip.
Mom). For me, wearing one makes me look like a ten-year old playing dress up with big-people clothes.
"We want to make everyone happy, but sometimes that's not possible," Marchiony said. "Most people are just happy to receive a free shirt."
"If they'd fit, I'd wear them more," Russell said. "I'm not angry, just kind of like 'kee'."
But if the sizes were more diverse, I guarantee you'd see those free T-shirts more often around campus.

Kenya takes first individual, overall in Boston Marathon
BY JIMMY GOLEN ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — The runners were soaked, the pavement slippery, and Robert Cheruiyot knew exactly where trouble was waiting along the Boston Marathon route.
So 48 hours before the start of Monday's race, after his more traditional training was complete, the defending champion headed to the course to test the traction of the finish line. It was at the end of the Chicago race, 26 miles and 384 yards in, that he slipped — nearly costing himself a race, if not a career.
"I don't want myself to think about falling down in Chicago," Chernuiyot said after overcoming from a concussion from that slip and the remnants of a noreaster to win his third Boston title. "It
is like telling someone something very bad."
Cheruiyot, who also won in 2003, earned his third Boston title standing up. He outkicked countryman James Kwambai on the way into Knennie
Square to win in 2 hours, 14 minutes, 13 seconds — slower than the course record of 2:07:14 he set last year but enough to win by 20 seconds.

Russia's Lidiya Grigoryeva captured the women's crown in 2:29:18, winning by 20 seconds and sending Latvia's jelena Prokocuka to her second consecutive second-place finish. Grigoryeva, who set the course

record in Los Angeles last year, veered to the stands to grab a Russian flag just before crossing the finish line.
Top American hope Deenaa Kastor fell back after stomach problems diverted her from the course for a minute near the midpoint, Kastor, the defending London champion, American record-holder and Olympic bronze medalist, still finished first in the U.S. national championships, a race within a race that carried a $25,000
bonus.
"It's hard to deal with a disappointing performance when you've prepared for so much better than you did out there," she said.
Cheruyiot spent two nights in a Chicago hospital in October after slipping on the finish line as he raised his arms to celebrate his victory. He couldn't sleep for more than a month, had trouble with his back, along with headaches that persisted until six weeks ago.
"I thought maybe it was the end of my career," Cheruiyot said after arriving in Boston.
On Saturday, as he prepared to defend his title, he accompanied a TV crew to the finish line, bending over to touch the nonskid surface. By the time he came that way again Monday, the skies had cleared, the winds had settled and he passed over it with ease, holding his arms to the side and blowing a kiss to the crowd.

Weekley secures Masters spot
RICK BROOKS
Kristin Goode/THE ISLAND PACKET
Boo Weekley watches his tee shot from the 13th hole during the final round of the Verizon Heritage golf tournament at Harbour Town Golf Links at Hilton Head Island, S.C., Monday. Weekley won the tournament.
BY PETE IACOBELLI ASSOCIATED PRESS
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.
— Augusta National, get ready for
Boo Weekley.
Now, after his first PGA Tour victory at the Verizon Heritage on Monday, Weekley's got a spot in next year's Masters.
Perhaps one no fits the mold of the staid, in-control PGA Taur pro less than Weekley, the 33-year-old country boy from the Florida Panhandle. He punctuates answers with "reckon" and "aint," and one time, in Texas, got so angry with his play, he put a hole in his golf bag with a club.
"I don't think the plaid's going to fit," said Weekley, picking at his tartan winner's coat. "I'd like to have a green one to go along with."
Weekley got that chance with a pair of dramatic, par-saving chips on the 17th and 18th holes.
Along with $972,000 and a PGA Tour exemption through 2008, Weekley becomes the first PGA Tour winner to qualify for next year's Masters after Augusta National chairman Billy Payne restored a privilege taken away in 1999.
Weekley had gained the sympathy of golfers everywhere last month when he missed a three-footer on the 72nd hole of the Honda Classic that would've given him the outright victory. Instead, the 33-year-old Weekley fell into a four-man playoff eventually won by Mark Wilson.
Weekley got it done this time.
He nearly squandered a three-shot lead at Harbour Town Golf Links before his heart-stopping finish.
Weekley made bogey on the 16th, then muffed a chip behind the 17th green. He followed the blunder with a 40-foot, par-saving chip to keep a one-stroke lead.
But then Weekley had his troubles on Harbour Town's lighthouse hole, No. 18. He chipped across the green and into the fluffy rough down a short slope. Once again, Weekley's short game saved him, this time rolling it from 36 feet away.
Weekley never thought about his
Honda gaffe from last month, confident his time in the spotlight would come.
When his first chip fell, Weekley thought "this could be my day." He knew it about 15 minutes later when he repeated the feat to close out the victory.
"Unreal." Weekley said. "This is unreal."
The Big Easy, bidding for his
first tour victory since 2004, lost his chance on No. 17, driving into the hazard behind the green for a bogey. Els made things interesting, though, putting his second shot — and last opportunity to
tie — at the 18th inside two feet.
Masters champion Zach Johnson continued his inspired play a week after slipping on the green jacket with a 71 to finish sixth.
Difficulties with the weather Sunday forced the tournament to finish Monday.
"Right now, it feels good. It ain't all sunk in yet."
"I don't think I want to see this replay." Els said, smiling.
The Verizon Heritage probably has never had a champion like Weekley, whose nickname comes from Yogi Bear's sidekick, Boo Boo. Weekley

mind the Sunday delay until Monday because he had stayed up too late Saturday playing cards. Weekley's preparation for the final round last night? "Ate about a handful of jelly beans and called it quits," he said.
He didn't
Els had opened the tournament with two 65s and appeared ready to pick up his first tour victory since 2004. Still, it's his seventh top-10 finish here in nine visits to Harbour Town.
Jerry Kelly, who used a hole-in-one Saturday to take the third-round lead, was still two shots in front at 15 under after an eagle on the par-5 second. His chance to end a nearly five-year-old victory drought slipped away when he drove into the water on No. 10. He finished with a 77.
Winds, though not as fierce as Sunday, continued to whip off Calibogue Sound, tilting flagsticks on Harbour Town's three closing holes when play resumed at 8 a.m.
Weekley had his troubles with the conditions, too, just less than his competitors. Now that he's a PGA Tour champion, Weekley expects to be the same fun-loving golfer who's spent the past four seasons on the Nationwide Tour.
"I ain't going to change," he said, grinning. "I ain't got no reason to."
BULLFIGHTING
BY MARK STEVENSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY — A 14-year-old matador who left Spain to escape his home country's ban on young bullfighters was nearly gored to death in a Mexican ring, his lung punctured by a 900-pound bull.
Jairo Miguel, who has been bullfighting professionally in Mexico for about the past two years, was fighting at the Aguascalientes. Monumental
Aguascaliente Bull Ring on Sunday when a bull named Hidrocalido rushed him at top speed and lifted him in the air, appearing to carry him several yards with one horn firmly lodged in his thorax.
But in Mexico, some start as young as 12 or 13, and there appears to be a rush toward ever-younger fighters who have become a growing attraction in Latin America.
official from the Royal Bullfighting Federation of Spain.
In his two years in the Mexican ring, Jairo has scored some victories that earned him the right to cut off the defeated bulls' ears. But he has also been trampled and knocked around.
"Normally, it's the parents of these children — and they are children — who put them into bullfighting schools."
"I'm dying, Dad, I'm dying," government news agency Notimex quoted jairo as saying immediately after the goring.
"These are injuries that happen. He's a great bullfighter," Hernandez Sanchez said.
Dr. Carlos Hernandez Sanchez said Jairo was the youngest gougst victim he had ever treated. But he does not think he was too young to be in the ring.
INAKI NEGRETE Bullfighting spokesman
In Spain, an aspiring "torero" must be at least 16 to begin training with small bulls but is not allowed to kill a bull in the ring before he or she is 18, said an
Jairo's father, Antonio Sanchez Caceres, is also a well-known bullfigher who came with him to Mexico from Spain and was reportedly at the ring on Sunday when his son was injured.
Jairo was billed as the youngest matador in the world when he came to Mexico almost two years ago at age 12, apparently to escape Spain's ban on bullfighters younger than 16.
Dr. Luis Romero, the surgeon who operated on Jairo at Aguascalientes' Guadalupe Clinic, said the bull's horn brushed his aorta and came about an inch from his heart.

"He was lucky, if you can call
If the four-inch gash had been one inch closer to the heart, "this surely would have been a catastrophe where it would have been very difficult to control" the bleeding.
Jairo was connected to a respirator on Monday but doctors were confident they could restore much of his lung function and expected him to recover.
Juan Carlos Lopez, the manager of the Aguascalientes ring, said there have been even younger fighters in the ring there, but he would not give their ages.
Inaki Negrete, of the Mexican Association of Fighting Bull Breeders, said the responsibility for young bull fighters rests largely with their families, who are often the ones who encourage their sons to go into bullfighting in the first place.
"Normally, it's the parents of these children — and they are children — who put them into bullfighting schools," Negre said.

Shields announces retirement from NFL on Web site
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Veteran John Welbourn, who filled in at right tackle last year with mixed results, will probably take over for 12-Pro Bowl right guard Will Shields, Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson said Monday.
"We've already made preparations for this by acquiring some talented
His retirement was not unexpected, but will no doubt leave a hole in what had been for many years one of the NFL's finest blocking units.

Shields, 35, announced on his Web site Sunday that he was stepping down after an illustrious 14-year career in which he made 231 consecutive starts, counting playoff games, and tied the NFL record for most Pro Bowl selections.
veterans as well as younger offensive linemen," Peterson said. "I would say without question, nobody's going to fill those shoes. Nobody's going to be quite as good as Will Shields. That would be very, very difficult."
Through his "Will to Succeed Foundation," Shields has made many charitable contributions while working behind the scenes on behalf of community projects.
"You're not going to miss the off-season program," Peterson said he told Shields. "You're not going to miss training camp. But when that first Sunday rolls around, you're gong to miss it. You will miss it because it's been such an integral part of your persona for all these years. It's like a metabolic clock going off in your body. It's tough."
Peterson said he had a long conversation with him Monday morning and they talked about Shields maintaining some connection with the club.
Neither Peterson nor anyone else with the Chiefs knew for sure that Shields had decided to step away until it appeared on his Web site.
"The decision to hang up my cleats has not been an easy one to make for me, but one I knew I would eventually have to make," Shields wrote. "Today, I am letting everyone know that I am putting away my pads."
Shields, who strongly contemplated stepping down after the 2005 season, wrote on his site that the physical requirements of the game had become more difficult with each passing day.

Edmonds weathers slump Cardinals outfielder starts slow after shoulder surgery
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Jim Edmonds has stayed patient throughout his early slump, reminding himself that he got a late start in spring training.
The St. Louis Cardinals' center fielder was batting .233 with no RBI in 30 at-bats entering Monday night's game against Pittsburgh. His swing has looked a lot better the last few games, though, and he was able to shrug off a couple of nice defensive plays that robbed him of hits against the Brewers on Sunday.
"I've played this game too long," Edmonds said. "Given the circumstances of not having very many at-bats and what I'm going through, I just kind of shake it off."
Brewers right fielder Corey Hart made a diving catch on Edmonds' drive in the first inning and second baseman Rickie Weeks snared his smash up the middle in the third,
turning it into a double-play ball. Edmonds ended up 0-for-4 with a walk, and manager Tony La Russa anticipated frustration.
"At the end of the day he got an 0-fer, but it wasn't really an 0-fer," La Russa said. "It has a way of getting under your skin and you can come out of your name."

DENVER — The rain stayed away, and the San Francisco Giants finally squeezed in another game.
San Francisco hadn't played since Friday night because of rain in Pittsburgh. In a game played under overcast skies, Barry Bonds was one of five San Francisco players and coaches to wear Jackie Robinson's No. 42 — a tribute pushed back a day because of the
Barry Zito gave up three hits in six innings for his first victory with San Francisco, and Ray Durham and Bengie Molina hit back-to-back homers in the third as the Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 8-0 Monday night.
"I've surprised myself how I've been able to do the things that I've actually wanted to do," Edmonds said. "There's been a couple of bad swings that haven't felt great, but there have been way more good swings than bad, so I'm happy with that."
Bonds was 1-for-3 with a walk, narrowly missing his fourth home run of the season. His fourth-inning drive to right landed just below the yellow line on the fence, and the ball hit so hard off the wall that Bonds had to hold at first with a single.
Zito (1-2) combined with three relievers on a six-hitter. Zito, just 12-17 in the month of April during his career, struck out four and walked three as he improved to 86-4 when his team scores four or more runs.
After Colorado loaded the bases with two outs in the fifth, Zito struck out Jamey Carroll. Relievers Vinnie Chulk, Kevin Correia and Steve Kline pitched an inning apiece.

Jeff Francis (1-1) lasted only five innings and gave up seven runs and nine hits. He was pushed back from Sunday as he completed a five-game suspension, assessed after the commissioner's office said he intentionally threw at San Diego's Kevin Kouzmanoff during a spring training game.
Omar Vizquel had four singles, scored twice and drove in two runs. Durham had a three-run homer to right and Molina followed with a solo shot to left in the Giants' five-run third inning. It was the first home run of the season for both. Durham now has a hit in all 11 of San Francisco's games this season.
Colorado was blanked at home for the first time since a 1-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Aug. 1.

PHOENIX — Tony Clark is a graybeard among all the youngsters in the Arizona Diamondbacks' line-up, and he gave the kids a lesson in power hitting on Sunday.
Clark drove in three runs with

two homers and the Diamondbacks beat Colorado 6-4 to take two of three from the Rockies.
It was the 22nd multi-homer game for the 34-year-old Clark, one of many major leaguers who wore a No. 42 jersey to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's major league debut.

Orlando Hudson, another who wore No. 42, went 2-for-3 for Arizona for his eighth multiple-hit game this season, pushing his average to .412. Todd Helton hit his first home run of the season for the Rockies; a solo shot in the fourth.
After getting the first two outs in the ninth, Jose Valverde walked Helton and Matt Holliday. Valverde then struck out Jeff Baker looking for his sixth save in seven chances.
The Diamondbacks jumped on Colorado's Byung-Hyun Kim for four runs in the first inning after the Rockies had scored a pair off Doug Davis. Kim, the
former Diamondback, was on the mound because scheduled starter Rodrigo Lopez was pushed back to Wednesday because of right elbow inflammation.
Arizona loaded the bases without an out on a walk to Stephen Drew and singles by Alberto Callaspo and Orlando Hudson. Two scored on sacrifice flies by Chad Tracy and Eric Brynes, then Clark hit a 2-0 pitch 420 feet onto the walkway in center field, a two-run homer that made it 4-2.
Willie Taveras' suicide squeeze bunt brought Troy Tulowitzki in from third to make it 4-3 in the second inning, then Helton _ who had singled in a run in the first _ lined one into the left-center seats to tie it at 4.
Clark's second homer, leading off the fourth, put Arizona ahead 5-4. Kim (1-2) left after that with a bruised right thumb. The ex-Diamondback closer pitched three-plus innings, allowing five runs on five hits.

THE CHRISTMAS EVERYONE LOVES IS THE ONE WITH THE CROSS.
Nichole Stenbak, Vancouver, Wash., graduate student, gets a hug from Brandon White, Antioch, Ill., graduate student, during a candlelight vigil held at the Campanile on Tuesday evening. The vigil was held to honor those affected by the Virginia Tech shooting.
Victims remembered
Community reflects on lives lost at memorial
BY JOE HUNT
The mood was reflective and somber during a candlelight vigil held at the Campanile on Tuesday night for those involved in Monday's Virginia Tech shootings.
Anna Faltermier/KANSAN
More than 100 people participated in a candlelight vigil to honor those affected by the Virginia Tech shootings Monday. The vigil was held at the Campanile.
TRENDING
About 120 students, faculty and communicy members attended. Maroon ribbons and white candles were passed out, and anyone who wished could sign a banner that will be sent to Virginia Tech.
The vigil only ran for 15 minutes, although many chose to stay longer. Chancellor Robert Hemenway opened with a short speech.
Matt Drake, Woodbridge, Va., graduate student, had previously attended Virginia Tech. He followed Hemenway's speech with a brief one of his own.
"It's sad to say, but the memory I have tonight is standing in this exact-same spot after 9/11," Hemenway said during the speech. "Twenty years from now we will remember we were at the Campanile the night after 32 people died."

STUDENT SENATE
Some platforms have a long way to go
BY ASHLEE KIELER
Hannah Love, Dodge City junior and president-elect, and running mate Ray Wittlinger, Olathe junior, campaigned on platforms ranging from free parking at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center to providing Microsoft Office for all students. Love and Wittlinger take office this fall.
The United Students coalition secured the presidential and vice presidential seats in next year's Student Senate, running on a number of platform issues. But can these platforms become a reality next year?
PARKING
Many of Love and Wittlinger's platforms deal with improving parking on campus.
Setting up 24-hour parking spots at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center to allow students to work-out without being ticketed was one of those platforms.
Hultine said that designating the spots for center use would be possible but determining who actually used the spots could be troublesome.
Donna Hultine, director of parking and transit, said the campus doesn't offer any free spots, but they could possibly use a combination of permits in the area.
"We can't monitor where students go after parking," Hultine said. "It would be hard to keep the spots available for the recreation center."
A similar method was used for Watkins Memorial Health Center

Scott Toland, Iola freshman, has spelled difficult words during spelling bees since competing in the sixth grade. He has bragging rights to be able to spell the longest word in the English language. Toland is one of seven students who will be a crew member for the Scripps National Spelling Bee held in Washington, D.C.
BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT
Scott Toland's recitation spelling of the longest word in the English language is rapid at first.
"P-n-e-u-m-o-n-o," Toland, the lola freshman, begins. "l-t-r-a-m-i-c-r-o-s-c-o-p-i-c-s."
He slows his pace, thinks for a moment, and wraps up the 45-letter word.
"l-1-i-c-o-v-o-l-c-a-n-o-c-o-n-i-o-s-i-t"

The word means lung disease caused by inhalation of volcanic gasses, and Toland smiles as he finishes the spelling. This is the life of a spelling bee champion.
said. "It's what I've always wanted to do in spelling."
Toland, who covers intramural sports for The University Daily Kansan, was recently accepted as one of seven students to work for the Scripps National Spelling Bee from May 26 to June 2 in Washington, D.C., this year. The process is selective, and he said it was an honor to be chosen.
Toland's road to spelling was started by his older sister. Carol Toland, who is a second year School of Law student at the University of Kansas, won the school spelling bee when Scott was in grade school. The next year, his older brother Mark won the bee. Soon, the family spelling gene made its way to Scott, the third oldest of four children.
He won his school bee in both sixth and seventh grades, which advanced him to the state spelling bee.
The state bee goes in alphabetical order by county. Iola, which is in Allen county, landed Toland as the first speller.
"I was just nervous I was going to be the first one out," Toland said. "I just kept hanging in there, though."
Toland hung in not only to avoid being the first speller eliminated, but managed to finish 12th of Kansas'

Genuine Imitation is a choir comprised of 13 male and female KU students. The group is a contemporary a capella bellion Jenkins said she didn't enjoy classical music as much,
"The people in the group are really fun to be around," jenkins said.
so the choir gave her the opportunity to sing songs she enjoyed while having a good time with other students.
She contacted Tina Towle, the choir's director from 2005-2006, and asked her about joining the group. Towle told Jenkins to come to auditions and when tryouts were finished, Jenkins had earned a spot as an alto.
She didn't participate in the choir her freshman year, because as an out-of-state student, she wasn't aware of all the KU vocal groups. However, she had heard other a cappella choirs sing in Ohio and had also done some a cappella in high school. Toward the end of her freshman year, Jenkins decided to pursue her love of singing.
The group practices for two hours every Tuesday and Thursday night. They rehearse songs from artists
Working with Lofgreen has taught her how to better arrange songs, and she planned to use these skills as the director of Rock Chalk Revue for her sorority, Chi Omega. Her involvement with Rock Chalk Revue will probably keep Jenkins from participating in the choir next year, but she said she hoped to audition and return to the group when she's a senior.

The choir performs around the Kansas City area, and, in February 2007, the group traveled to Champaign, Ill., to compete in the International Competition of Collegiate A Cappella. Jenkins said that even though they didn't place, the group had lots of fun.

Police remind British to drive on right side
FLERS, France — Police in a small town in northern France have launched a poster campaign to remind British expatriates and tourists to drive on the right side of the road — literally.
Lt. Eric Turmet, a police official in the town of Flers in the Normandy region, said there have been two deadly accidents in the past two years caused by Britons driving on their customary left side of the road
"We had to act to avoid further tragedies" he said.
The English-language posters peppering restaurants, hotels and campgrounds in the town say:"For your safety, keep right on French roads."
Police have also printed 3,000 stickers so British families who live in town can put the message on their cars.
Thousands of British families and retirees have moved to the area because it's close to ferries that cross the English Channel.

Tiffany Springgs, Princeton, W. Va., graduate student, looks down at her candle during the vigil held at the Campanile on Tuesday evening to honor those affected by the Virginia Tech shooting. Springgs, who grew up near Virginia Tech, said her friend's father is a professor at the Tech, but he wasn't on campus the day of the shootings.

"If you're supporting Virginia Tech students, you're supporting higher education and everything we stand for," Drake said during his speech.
Danielle Coffyn, Prarie Village junior, said that she and her younger sister came to show their support.
"We've both been watching the news a lot and we're really affected by it," Coffyn said. "Virginia Tech's campus is very similar to KU's and it's in a small town too."
Kendra Price, Jefferson City, Mo., junior, said she too felt she could relate to the students at Virginia
Tech.
"This feels like a way to let out some of my own grief." Price said.
For Tiffany Spriggs, Princecon, W.Va., graduate student, the tragedy hit closer to home. Luckily, none of her loved ones were victims of the shooting.
"My hometown is about 30 minutes from there," Spriggs said. "My friend's dad is a professor there, but he wasn't on campus."

PROFILE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"Anybody I could find to give me words to spell, I would do it," Toland said. "They were pretty helpful with that."
The next year he returned to the state bee and won, earning a spot at the national bee. When his spelling career ended in eighth grade, Scott began coaching his younger brother, Kent, who qualified twice for the national bee. While Scott and his family were in Washington, D.C., for the bee last year, his mother Karen was forced to fly home to Iola to care for Scott's father John, who had cancer. Scott stayed alone with his younger brother to coach him
in the nationally televised bee. After Kent was eliminated in the final rounds of the bee, the brothers flew back from Washington. On May 2, just hours after they arrived, their father passed away.
Karen Toland said she was thrilled when she found out Scott had been chosen to work on this year's staff, because it was a full circle for the family.
"Their father loved the kids' spelling ability," Karen Toland said. "We've been so blessed, and spelling has been a great relief for us."
"I knew he was the person for the job," she said. "I was so happy for him. All his work really did pay off."
Today, spelling is taken as seriously by parents as any other sport or activity. The Scripps National
Spelling Bee is one of ESPN's most popular events and is broadcast annually. Toland said some kids were forced to go to spelling camps. He said knowing that angle of spelling made him appreciate the support he had received from his parents to do whatever made him happy.
"They never pressured us to study, and they never made us do it." Toland said.
At the beginning of his first year in college, some of the Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall residents searched Google for one another's names. When they discovered Toland's spelling prowess, they were surprised.
"I don't just go around telling people, you know," Toland said. "They sent out an e-mail letting
everyone know, though."
He said his friends occasionally found words and tried to trip him up, but they were usually not successful.
He said his understanding of spelling didn't affect his everyday life.
"When a teacher spells a word wrong or something on the overhead, it stands out," Toland said. "Normally though, I don't think about it much."

"Actually it was 'daguerreotype,' she said, offering to spell it out. A daguerreotype is an early photograph printed on a copper plate, and Harrigan said she had been exposed to the word as an art major.
"I'll probably see it for the rest of my life and it will drive me crazy," she said.
Hartigan said she won spelling bees in both elementary and middle schools, but the furthest she ever advanced in those competitions was the county level.
Annie Harrigan, Prairie Village junior, confidently spells the spelling of a word during Tuesday night's spelling bee hosted by Spellington Bee. Harrigan won the competition and Grisswin Worsley, Forsyth III., sophomore, placed second.
She said she had a photographic memory and could remember how to spell a word after seeing it only once.
"I like testing my own intelligence against people who are having as much fun as I am," she said.
Sarah Leonard/KANSAN
Harrigan's victory won her a $50 gift certificate for downtown businesses, while Griswold's second-place finish was worth a $25 downtown gift certificate.
Third-place winner Margaret Tran, Derby freshman, spelled "aberration" followed by "facsimile," and took home a spelling-oriented board game called "Upwards" and a box of Honeycomb breakfast cereal.
Amanda Hallier, Overland Park
junior and SUA films coordinator, said she and Bowers started planning the spelling bee late last semester. She said they wanted to screen a documentary film and pair it with a fun event.
"Everyone loves spelling bees," she said. "We all did them as kids."
The movie "Spellbound," a documentary film about schoolchildren competing in a spelling bee, was shown after the event.

》 HOMELESS SHELTER
City approves permit extension
Community building will stay in current building for three more years
BY MATT ERICKSON
The Lawrence Community Shelter can stay in its current building at 10th and Kentucky streets for at least three more years after the city commission extended its permit Tuesday night.
Voting 4-1, the commission gave the shelter a three-year permit instead of a one-year one, which was favored by some neighbors of the shelter who wanted to speed up its search for a new location.
Loring Henderson,the shelter's director, said the shelter would need longer than a year to find a new location, which he hoped will be larger and more handicapped-aces.
"There's really no 'other side of the tracks' in Lawrence," Henderson said. "Every neighborhood is pretty hot in real estate terms."
"Before I went to the shelter, I was afraid of homelessness. That changed the day I walked in there two and a half years ago."
with some comfort and some safety"
Henderson said the shelter tried to cooperate with the nearby Oread Neighborhood, which lies between campus and downtown, by communicating with property owners and instituting disciplinary rules.
Other neighborhood members who spoke at the commission meeting said they'd had problems with trespassing and defection in yards and had seen people near the shelter using illegal drugs.
DUSTIN ALLEN
Topeka junior
Dustin Allen, Topeka junior, spoke at the meeting to support the shelter. He said his time volunteering at the shelter had eliminated misconceptions that most homeless people were dangerous drug
But Peter Zacharias, who owns a house at 10th and Ohio streets, said people in the neighborhood had had homeless people follow them home, accost them and cause them to worry for their safety.
"Before I went to the shelter, I was afraid of homelessness," Allen said. "That changed the day I walked in there two and a half years ago."

Allen said the shelter provided many

valuable services for the homeless.
During 2006, Lawrence Community Shelter helped 21 people find jobs and 27 people move into housing. It served 376 people during the last six months of 2006.
Commissioner Dennis "Boog" Highberger said the shelter and the city would need to work to find a location for the shelter that would meet the needs of the shelter and the surrounding area.
"Even when we find a new location, wherever it goes there are going to be unsatisfied neighbors." Highberger said. "I think we need to make sure this doesn't unnecessarily burden any neighborhood."

KJHK wins five Kansas broadcasting awards
long talk shows like "The Sporting Life" can take four to eight hours per week to prepare for.
When Ian Hrabe was broadcasting a comic-book-oriented radio show with two other students on KJHK last November, it never crossed his mind that it might win an award.
Habe, Olathe junior, and the two other co-hosts — Annie Harrigan, Leawood junior, and Joe Noh, Overland Park junior — of "The Panel," a radio show on the student-run radio station, won second place at a Kansas Association of Broadcasters awards ceremony earlier this month.
Hrabe said the purpose of the "The Panel," which placed in the entertainment category, was for the co-hosts to de-stigmatize comics as something for kids. In the November episode, the three co-hosts interviewed an artist who had been writing a comic per day for seven years.
"We did it because we all love comics," Hrabe said. "To get some recognition on it, it's sort of nice."
"It's good to illustrate that the station is multi-faceted and we're not just about playing independent music," Johnson said. "We do pay attention to production qualities and production values."
He said another second-place award was handed out for a documentary by Harrigan about visiting violinist and composer Daniel Bernard Roumain.

FITNESS
Clinic offers advice on form, flexibility
BY DANAE DESHAZER
Running problems can be blamed on many factors - from posture and flexibility to the way you tighten your shoeelaces.
Students can correct their running style and prevent injury at the Watkins Runner's Clinic, held at Watkins Memorial Health Center. The clinic began Tuesday and runs today from 9 to 11 a.m at the south entrance of Watkins.
The clinic offers students a two-part free screening that analyzes the factors that go into a successful run.
Physical therapists conducted the static exam, which included flexibility, strength, and posture analysis. The clinic also offered a running exam, which videotaped participants and played the tape back to analyze their running form.
"We are helping to improve performance," Karen Loudon, physical therapist, said. "If runners have poor form and are not efficient in their movement, they may be expending too much energy and will not be able to run as fast."
This clinic is strictly a screening and tells runners what is wrong with their style, Loudon said. If they want further instruction, they can make an appointment for a one-on-one analysis and correction.
Anyone in the University community is welcome, Loudon said. If people wanting to participate don't secure a time slot, further appointments may be available through the physical therapy department. An appointment would cost around $50, Loudon said.
Other information is available to
runners to assist in choosing the correct shoes and socks, preventing blisters and callouses, and how to lace your shoes according to the type of foot you have.
A representative from Francis Sporting Goods, 729 Massachusetts St., brought many different styles and brands of shoes to show participants and offer advice to what kind of shoe would be most beneficial. Scott Bennett, Overland Park senior and Francis representative, said shoe type was based on a combination of the arch of the runner and the rotation of a runner's heel-to-toe motion.
"We have different types of shoes to correct their running styles," Bennett said. "Most running injuries do occur from the wrong pair of shoes."
Delphine F-Nurdin, Dijon France, doctoral student, admitted she wasn't a runner but had participated in other sports while living in France. But since coming to the University seven years ago, she's begun running.
F-Nurdin said last semester she experienced a muscular body weakness because of stress. After not being able to run for the past couple of months, she wanted to get back into it.
"I came here today because I care about my health," F-Nurdin said. "My goal is to be in good shape and to get out of the University with my Ph.D. in my pocket."

》 STAND-UP COMEDY
Chappelle sets record
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Now that he's back on the standup circuit, Dave Chappelle has a lot to say.
The comic, who walked out on a $50 million deal to continue his TV show and briefly took a respite in South Africa, shattered the Laugh Factory's endurance record by taking to the comedy club's stage for six hours and seven minutes on Sunday.
Masada said the previous record of three hours and 50 minutes was accomplished earlier this month by Dane Cook. But until then the mark
"He was absolutely amazing, for six hours making people laugh," the club's owner, Jamie Masada, said Tuesday.
Chappelle walked out on the third season of his hit Comedy Central show last May, leaving fans and industry observers to question his motives and even his sanity.
had stood at two hours and 41 minutes since Richard Pryor set it in 1980.
He has said since that he didn't feel he could be himself on the show.
"The bottom line was, white people own everything, and where can a black person go and be himself or say something that's familiar to him and not have to explain or apologize?" he told Esquire magazine.
He has since returned to the stand-up circuit and released the documentary "Dave Chappelle's Block Party."

PLATFORMS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
parking in the past but now short term meters are in place, Hultine said.
Another platform called for evening transportation for students parking in inconvenient locations on campus.
Hultine said a type of night shuttle could be set up to transport students.
"It would depend on what the Transportation Board could decide on services based on their budget," Hultine said.
Setting up a satellite parking office in the Kansas Union would enable students to pay parking tickets and purchase permits without trekking to the Parking Department, located at the parking garage near Allen Fieldhouse.
"This is an idea that we have explored." Huline said.
Love and Wittlinger said that renovations to the shack would make it better used by students.
The renovation of the Jayhawk Central Information Shack, located between Bailey and Stauffer-Flint halls, along Jayhawk Boulevard, became a platform issue for United Students.
She said the satellite office would be full-service but that students probably wouldn't be able to address ticketing issues. Hultine pointed out this was the first year candidates had come to her to discuss ideas before releasing their platforms.
JAYHAWK CENTRAL INFORMATION SHACK
Mark Reiske, associate director of design and construction management, said he could recall two times when Senate requested studies to see what could be done to renovate the shack in the past.
"The studies looked at things like adding electronic information systems and storage," Reiske said.
Reiske said the renovation was possible, but was just a matter of finding the financial support.
RELOCATING THE UNIVERSITY CAREER CENTER
The University Career Center helps prepare students transitioning from college to the real world and assists students in career development.
Love and Wittlinger's platform called for the movement of the Career Center to Javihawk Boulevard
as a way for students to take better advantage of the center's services. A new location was not specified in the platform.
David Gaston, director of the University Career Center, said the move would benefit students.
"Moving to where students attend most of their classes would be a huge benefit," Gaston said. "It's a hike to get to where we are currently at."
TECHNOLOGY INCREASES
Improving technology on campus is an issue Love and Wittlinger addressed with two platforms.
The Microsoft Campus Initiative would provide Microsoft Office for students.
Each student would receive the programs for a small fee after the University invested in the initiative.
The KU Bookstores at the Kansas Union sells the new Microsoft Vista, which ranges in price from $160 to $400. The cost for students under the plan could be around $50 or $60, depending on other funding for the initiative, said Allison Lopez, public relations and marketing manager for information services.
Lopez said the University could work out a contract with Microsoft and pay one big fee to get the package. She said a contract would depend on student demand for the programs.
"Some students wouldn't need the programs because they already purchase it with their computers," Lopez said.
The second technology platform asks for the University and the Kansas University Endowment Association to provide updated technology in classrooms. The Endowment Association receives donations and is usually asked to spend the donation in a certain way, said Rosita Elizalde-McCoy, senior vice president for communication at the Endowment Association.
Elizalde-McCoy said typically 95 percent of donations were designated to a specific area and the last five percent are for unrestricted use. Chancellor Robert Hemenway determines where the need exists for funding and the executive committee of the Endowment Association approves the funding.
"Last year Endowment gave the University about $99 million, of that about $7.1 million was for unrestricted use." Elizalde-McCoy said.
She said that some of that money
went to improve technology in class rooms.
Lopez said there would need to be more data on the use of the technology.
"We would need to know if instructors would use the equipment on a daily basis or only every once in a while," Lopez said.
She said each department had different needs technology-wise.
RECYCLING
Love and Wittlinger proposed a platform to add permanent recycling bins to the Park and Ride lots. The drop-off sites would be more convenient for students who recycle.
Jeff Severin, director of the center for sustainability, said there had been trailers set up by Memorial Stadium, but there wasn't a lot of participation.
Severin suggests setting up a designated time for drop-offs.
"Recycling on campus would be more convenient since students are already coming to campus," Severin said.
ADAMSCAMPUS
Increased awareness for the Adams Campus Challenge was another platform addressed by Love and Wittlinger. The Adams Campus Challenge is a course of outdoor activities by Clinton Lake that use ropes, tree logs and cables.
Making groups become more aware of the challenge and possibly adding a center to hold meetings were included in the platform.
'A' GUARANTEE AND ACADEMIC DEAD WEEK
The feasibility of Love and Wittlinger's academic platforms
— creating an "A" guarantee for the credit/no credit option and instituting a "dead week" before finals — were reviewed by University officials last week.
Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, and Rich Hale, University Senate president and associate professor of aerospace engineering, both said policy changes were possible if students made a case before University governance.

Hilton ordered to court for probation violation
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Paris Hilton was ordered Tuesday to appear in court May 4 for allegedly violating her probation in a reckless driving case by driving with a suspended driver's license.
City prosecutors are seeking to revoke Hilton's probation on grounds that she violated its conditions, which could result in a sentence of up to 90 days in jail.
In January, Hilton pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving stemming from a Sept. 7 arrest in Hollywood and was sentenced to 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.
On Feb. 28, she was ticketed for misdemeanor driving with a suspended license after her car was pulled over on Sunset Boulevard. Police said they saw her car speeding with its headlights off.
Hilton, 26, wasn't present for
Tuesday's hearing before Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer. The hearing was conducted almost entirely with lawyers at the bench speaking in hushed tones with the judge.
Outside court, Hilton's attorney, Howard Weitzman, was asked whether the matter was close to being resolved. "It is," he said without elaboration.
The prosecutor didn't comment to reporters.

» DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
Sebelius backs repair funds
Gov. wants $63 million for initial maintenance of universities
Charlie Riedel/ASSOCIATED PRESS
CABIN 1038
Bret Baer, right, and Matt Meimig put new mortar between massive limestone blocks in the basement of the west wing of the Kansas Statehouse Thursday in Topeka. The work is part of ongoing renovations throughout the state, including the $663 million backlog at universities.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Gov. Kathleen Sebelius wants legislators to spend nearly $63 million as a first installment on long-needed repairs to state universities. Legislative budget chiefs say there will be additional money, but how much remains up in the air.
The deferred maintenance money was part of the governor's request presented Tuesday for an additional $203 million in the upcoming budget year. The money would be added to the final budget bill lawmakers will consider when they return April 25 from their annual break.
Legislators already have sent the governor the $12.3 billion main budget to finance state government after July 1.
The governor's request includes $47.7 million as a one-time appropriation to address the top priority needs on seven campuses, plus $15 million for unspecified maintenance projects.
"Earlier in this legislative session, I proposed a more comprehensive plan for dealing with university deferred maintenance. However, neither my plan, nor any other, has been enacted," Sebelius said in her request to the House Appropriations and Senate Ways and Means committees.
Sebelius also asked for an additional $56.8 million for the current year, with most of that for growth in social service programs and to repay some Medicaid funds to the federal government.
The House panel began working on the budget bill Tuesday and the Senate committee will begin work Wednesday. The final version will be worked out by negotiators from the two chambers.
The governor and the Kansas Board of Regents have urged legislators to address the backlog of $663 million worth of projects.
Budget experts met this week to review state revenue and said that while the economy was in good shape, legislators didn't have large surpluses to take care of all funding requests, including state buildings, expanding social services or making huge tax cuts.
The question is what legislators eventually will do with the governor's request for the campuses.
"I have no idea at this time how much of it will stay, but it probably will be in that ballpark," said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Sharon Schwartz, R-Washington.
Schwartz said she wanted legislators to have more oversight of how the money will be spent.
"There ought to be policies approved by the Legislature rather than a line item in the budget," she said. "It's a big enough issue that the full Legislature needs to weigh in on it."
Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dwayne Umbarger said deferred maintenance would be a serious contender, but just how much it will remain depends on what legislators decide.
"I'm fairly confident that we are going to designate significant resources to deal with deferred maintenance," said Umburger, R-Thayer. "It is always the process of prioritizing and seeing where the dollars are most needed."
Umbarger said universities were the best judges of their most pressing needs.
"The institutions are more capable of prioritizing their list than we under the dome. I want to make sure we don't replace their knowledge with our perceptions," he said.
The issue of deferred maintenance at the various campuses has been a lingering one, with legislators doing little to make a significant dent in the backlog.
The last major legislative effort to deal with deferred maintenance was in 1996, when legislators authorized about $164 million in bonds to pay for repairs in a program dubbed "Crumbling Classrooms."

Veteran holds family hostage
Fort Riley soldier surrenders after promise of psychiatric help
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HERINGTON — A veteran of the Iraq war who held his family hostage and wore military armor during a standoff with police surrendered only after being assured he would receive help for post-traumatic stress disorder, police said.
The 33-year-old Fort Riley soldier, whose name was not released because he had not been charged, locked himself and his family inside his Herington home Sunday night. He released his family shortly after the incident began but surrendered only after talking to a Herington police officer who had befriended him, police Chief John Pritchard said.
Police went to the man's home about 8.30 p.m. after receiving a call that he was holding his wife and four children hostage. After releasing his family shortly after officers arrived, the man put on military body armor
Pritchard said Tuesday that the man would undergo psychiatric evaluation at Fort Riley before the Dickinson County attorney will decide what, if any, charges will be filed.
"Our first concern was to get help for the family and him," Pritchard said. "At the same time, we're finishing our investigation so the county attorney can determine how to proceed."
and said he wanted to "go down in a blaze of glory" Pritchard said.
Pritchard said the man had nine loaded firearms, including two assault rifles, in the house. The man did not point a weapon at officers during the standoff, but officers saw him with a weapon in a backyard several times, he said.
After refusing to talk to other
officers, the man said he would talk to Herington police officer Curtis Hartman, who had befriended the man and visited him at his home. Hartman talked to the man for about an hour before the soldier agreed to surrender.

"When he surrendered, he told the officer,'I did this for you. You treated me like a person,and I appreciate it."
"I think it was that rapport that helped resolve the issue the way it was," Pritchard said. "When he surrendered, he told the officer, 'I did this for you. You treated me like a person, and I appreciate it.'"

Kansas cities compete for biodefense lab
WASHINGTON — A week before site selection teams visit Kansas, the state's congressional delegation is ramping up the push for a new federal biodefense lab to be built in Leavenworth or Manhattan.

MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT
Political gown deemed offensive
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MARÍA DEL REY
MEXICO CITY — Miss Mexico is toning down her Miss Universe pageant dress — not because it's too slinky or low-cut, but because its bullet-studded belt and images of hangings from a 1920s uprising have outraged Mexicans.
Milenio Diario de Tampico, Julio Nevero/ASSOCIATED PRESS
The floor-length dress is accented with crosses, scapulars and a sketch of a man facing a firing squad. Designers who helped select the dress from among 30 entries argued it represented the nation's culture and history, especially since Mexico City is hosting the pageant in May.
Miss Mexico, Rosa Maria Ojeda, poses with a floor-length dress, belted by bullets and accented by sketches of hangings during Mexico's Roman Catholic uprising in the 1920s. The dress has outraged Mexicans who said it was inappropriate for the Miss Universe pageant, the world's most important beauty contest.
Cut from a traditional natural cotton called manta, the dress depicts scenes from the 1926-1929 Cristero War, an uprising by Roman Catholic rebels against Mexico's secular government, which was imposing fiercely anti-clerical laws. Tens of thousands of people died.
"We wanted a dress that made you think of Mexico," Hector Terrones, who served on the selection committee, told La Jornada newspaper. "The design should grab people's attention and have impact without giving too much information."
But many Mexicans weren't happy about the history the dress evoked, especially at a moment of debate about the Catholic Church's role in politics and its stance against a Mexico City proposal to legalize abortion. Others said it glorified violence in a country where a battle between drug gangs has brought a wave of killings and beheadings.
Miss Mexico, Rosa Maria Ojeda, presented the dress March 29, showing off the billowing, hoop skirt adorned with sketches of Catholic rebels hanging from posts. Rosaries and scapulars hung from the bullet-studded, bandolier belt; a large cru
"It is inappropriate to use images of this Cristero war that cost so many lives and was so pointless," said Guadalupe Loaza, a contemporary Mexican writer.
cifix necklace, black halter top and wide-brimmed sombrero completed the outfit.
The gown's designer, Maria del Rayo Macias, told La Jornada that "we are descendants of Cristeros. Whether we like it or not, it's a part of who we are."
La Jornada columnist Jorge Camil said a dress was not the place to recount the event.
"It would be like Miss USA wearing a dress showing images of the Ku Klux Klan in the deep South, with their hoods, their burning crosses and beer cans," he wrote. "A beauty contest is very far from being the right place to vent political and religious ideologies."
Ojeda's representatives said in a statement that the dress would be modified due to "the concerns that have surfaced regarding the design." Pageant spokeswoman Esther Swan said the skirt would have ribbons and ruffles and no pattern, while the top would remain the same.
Mexican church officials also argued that using the war as a fashion statement was disrespectful to the thousands who died, some of whom were later named saints.
The conflict was the culmination of a century of bloody attempts to slash the power of the church, which was an arm of the Spanish colonial government for three centuries, that owned vast tracts of land and savagely persecuted rival religions.
The secular government that emerged from Mexico's revolution toughened anti-clerical laws, which set off a conflict in which churches and convents were shuttered, foreign priests were expelled and mobs sacked sanctuaries. Raiders responded by blowing up passenger trains and attacking government forces.
By the time the U.S. Embassy helped mediate an end to the violence in 1929, only a few hundred priests remained in Mexico.
"It's not right for Mexico, in an important international event like Miss Universe, to remember this sad and unfortunate fact of our history," Monsignor Felipe Arizmendi Esquivel told La Jornada. "This traditional outfit alludes to events that opened wounds."
JAPAN
Organized crime boss murders mayor
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO — The mayor of the Japanese city of Nagasaki was shot to death in a brazen attack Tuesday by an organized crime chief apparently enraged that the city refused to compensate him after his car was damaged at a public works construction site, police said.
Mayor Icho Ito, 61, was shot twice in the back at point-blank range outside a train station Tuesday evening, Nagasaki police official Rumi Tsuimoto said.
One of the bullets struck the mayor's heart and he went into cardiac arrest, according to Nagasaki University Hospital spokesman Kenzo Kusano. Ito died after emergency surgery, said Nagasaki prefectural police official Hiroki Ito.
The shooting was rare in a country where handguns are strictly banned and only five politicians are known to have been killed since World War II.
Tetsuya Shiroo, a senior member of Yamaguchi-gumi, Japan's largest organized crime syndicate, was wrestled to the ground by officers after the attack and arrested, police said.
He later admitted to shooting Ito with a handgun with the intent to kill, Nagasaki chief investigator Kazuki Umebayashi said at a news conference.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called for a "rigorous investigation."
It was the second attack in the last 20 years against a mayor of Nagasaki.
In 1990, Mayor Hitoshi
Motoshima was shot and seriously wounded after saying that lapan's emperor, beloved by rightists, bore some responsibility for World War II.
Tuesday's attack appeared to involve a more trivial matter, however.
Shiroo reportedly clashed with Nagasaki city officials in 2003 after his car was damaged when he drove into a hole at a public works site. He tried unsuccessfully to get compensation from the city after his insurance company refused to pay up, according to Japanese broadcaster NHK.
Shiroo also sent a letter to broadcaster TV Asahi to protest recent money scandals linked to Ito, including hidden accounts and public works contracts, Kyodo reported.
Backed by the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, Ito was campaigning for his fourth term in office before Sunday's elections. He was an active figure in the movement against nuclear proliferation, heading a coalition of Japanese cities calling for the elimination of nuclear weapons.
"Mayer Ito had a strong and boundless passion for peace," said Sunao Tsuboi, leader of a survivors' group based in Hiroshima, a city also flattened by a U.S. atomic bomb in 1945.
Commonly known as yakuza. Japan's organized crime groups are typically involved in real estate and construction kickback schemes, extortion, gambling, the sex industry, gunrunning and drug trafficking.

》 SPRING NOR'EASTER
Northeast residents sift through ruins

Residents view the damage done to two homes destroyed by a severe nor easter that lashed the East Coast on Tuesday in the Ferry Beach section of Saco, Maine. The homes are on the verge of being swept into the ocean.

MAMARONECK, N.Y. — As the floodwaters receded Tuesday homeowners picked through ruined belongings and priceless keepsakes trying to determine what theyd lost.
Hundreds of thousands were still without power from Maine to North Carolina and nearly as many residents of Bound Brook, N.J., were still barred from their homes Tuesday as flooding persisted from the spring noreaster that has claimed at least 17 lives.
In Mamaroneck, described by Gov. Eliot Spitzer as the "the epicenter of the damage done here in the state." discarded belongings damaged by the flooded Sheldrake River lined an avenue.
Trash in the middle-class neighborhood included refrigerators, stoves, mattresses, dressers, a karaoke machine, even a 30-gallon aquarium somehow ruined by water.
An upright piano, its veneer peeling, made only off-key noises when its warped keys were pounded.
"I've been collecting this stuff since I was 14," said Robert Jackson, 39, a disc jockey, as he poked through his trove of old record albums, including some 78 rpm platters and many disco-album records. Like his deejay equipment, the records had been submerged when the water reached five feet high in his basement.
On Mamaroneck Avenue, the
village's main road, merchants were assessing the damage caused by 6.75 inches of rain and floodwaters from the Sheldrake and Mamaroneck rivers that reached as high as five feet in their stores.
Vincent Marconi, owner of Tri-City Auto Parts, said the store lost $75,000 in equipment. Flood insurance had been too expensive, he said.
You work your whole life and you
find something like this," Marcomi said.
In New Jersey, electricity had been shut off to the low-lying central community of Bound Brook
which received 9 inches of rain and the stench of heating oil from flooded basements hung in the air.
Nearly 1,000 residents were still barred from their homes until crews could determine the structures
were safe, said Hal Dietrich, Bound Brook's emergency management coordinator.
"If they go in too soon and turn something on that's not right, they could kill themselves," Dietrich said. "We lost four houses during the flood that caught fire and burned to the ground because we couldn't get the fire trucks to them through the water."
NEW JERSEY
Injured governor's SUV hit 90 mph
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TRENTON, N.J. — The sport utility vehicle carrying Gov. Jon S. Corzine was traveling about 91 mph moments before it crashed, the superintendent of state police said Tuesday.
The governor was critically injured when the vehicle crashed into a guardrail on the Garden State Parkway just north of Atlantic City last week. He apparently was not wearing his seat belt as he rode in the front passenger's seat.
The speed limit along that stretch of the parkway is 65 mph.
The state trooper-driven SUV was in the left lane with its emergency lights flashing when a pickup tried to get out of its way. Instead, it set off a chain reaction that resulted in the crash.
Corzine broke his left thigh bone, 11 ribs, collarbone and chest bone. He also fractured a vertebrae in his lower back.
He remained in critical but stable condition Tuesday and doctors were assessing when he might be ready to breathe without a ventilator. Spokesman Anthony Coley said Tuesday the governor was showing improvement.
Doctors have said he doesn't have brain damage or paralysis, and is doing well for someone who
sustained so many injuries.
The driver, Trooper Robert Rasinski, could be charged if the state police Motor Vehicular Pursuit Review Board determines the crash was preventable, Superintendent of State Police Col. Rick Fuentes said.
Fuentes said speed was a factor in the accident. A black box inside the SUV recorded the speed of the SUV five seconds before the crash. He said the executive protection unit has the discretion to move through traffic by stepping up its speed and using flashing lights when necessary.
"If it's a non-emergency situation, we would ask them to obey the traffic laws and the speed laws in the interest of safety," he said.
Rasinski and an aide to the governor were not seriously hurt. The trooper will remain out of work until he is cleared by a doctor to return, Fuentes said. The driver of the pickup truck was not charged.
There is no timetable for when Corzine might resume governing the state. Sen. President Richard J. Codye is acting governor.
Once Corzine is breathing unassisted, he should be able to speak. That milestone would make it possible for physical therapists to do more to help him regain use of his leg.

Cold weather damages Kansas' wheat crops
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA - Spring freezes and a storm that brought heavy, wet snow have caused extensive damage to Kansas' winter wheat crop, with preliminary reports estimating nearly 70 percent of fields hurt to varying degrees.
In addition, the state's first cutting of alfalfa hay has been lost and some early corn sown in southeast Kansas will have to replanted, according to agricultural experts.
Kansas Agriculture Secretary Adrian Polansky, whose own wheat crop suffered freeze damage, said Tuesday that the hardest-hit part of the state is a corridor running from north-central to south-central Kansas. The most significant damage is around Salina and McPherson.
It will take another week to 10 days to assess the significance of
wheat-crop losses statewide, he said.
"I certainly believe that there will be a significant reduction in the Kansas wheat crop this year from several days of cold temperatures. I
think I can say that without doubt," Polansky said.
Polansky, who had just come from a state emergency board meeting on the topic, said the Agricultural Statistics Service would do a survey around May 1 in which it will be able document fairly accurately the yield losses so the state can seek emergency disaster declarations for affected counties.
Service reported Monday that just 31 percent of the winter wheat crop had escaped freeze damage. It estimated freeze damage to the rest of the crop as 25 percent light, 26 percent

percent severe.
"That has been devastating to the first-cutting alfalfa crop, but the good thing about alfalfa, it can come back," said Jim Shroyer, Kansas State University Extension wheat
specialist. "Wheat is not a perennial; it is an annual. If it is dead, it is done."
Damage to the wheat crop was related to the cloud cover during the Easter weekend freeze. It
was several degrees warmer in the western part of the state, where the cloud cover helped moderate temperatures, Shroyer said. But temperatures plummeted in the eastern and central parts of the state.
Freeze damage symptoms are showing up mostly in the eastern two-thirds of Kansas, he said.
Kansas farmers are trying to determine how destructive the freeze was, and fields are still too wet to replant.
"We can't plant corn. We can't plant anything." Shroyer said. "Nobody is doing anything other than wringing their hands."
Although some damaged winter-wheat acres may have to be torn up, Kansas farmers who had applied certain residual herbicides to their fields will be limited in what crops they can now plant, he said.

VIRGINIA TECH SHOOTING
23-year-old gunman identified
South Korean student described by peers as increasingly violent, erratic
VRGINIA TECH
Charles Dharapak/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Virginia Tech students, from left to right: Felix Gabathuler, 20, from Lynchburg, Va.; Michael Bell, 20, from Vienna, Va.; Natasha Shebiani, 19, from Great Falls, Va., and Margaret Riggs, 19, from Vienna, Va., stand with thousands of others in an overflow stadium during the conconervation memorial attended by President Bush following the shootings on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Va. on Tuesday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BLACKKSBURG, Va. — The gumman in the Virginia Tech massacre was a sullen loner who alarmed professors and classmates with his twisted, violence-drenched creative writing and left a rambling note in his dorm room raging against women and rich kids.
A chilling picture emerged Tuesday of Cho Seung-Hui — a 23-year-old senior majoring in English — a day after the bloodbath that left 33 people dead, including Cho, who killed himself as police closed in.
News reports said that he may have been taking medication for depression and that he was becoming increasingly violent and erratic.
Despite the many warning signs that came to light in the bloody aftermath, police and university officials offered no clues as to exactly what set Cho off on the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history.
"He was a loner, and we're having difficulty finding information about him," school spokesman Larry Hincker said.
A student who attended Virginia Tech last fall provided obscenity and violence-laced screensplays that he said Cho wrote as part of a playwriting class they both took. One was about a fight between a stepson and his stepfather, and involved throwing of hammers and attacks with a chainsaw. Another was about students fantasizing about stalking and killing a teacher who sexually molested them.
"When we read Cho's plays, it was like something out of a nightmare. The plays had really twisted, macabre violence that used weapons I wouldn't have even thought of," former classmate Ian McFarlane, now an AOL employee, wrote in a blog posted on an AOL Web site. He said he and other students "were talking to each other with serious worry about whether he could be a school
shooter."
"We always joked we were just waiting for him to do something, waiting to hear about something he did," said another classmate, Stephanie Derry. "But when I got the call it was Cho who had done this, I started crying, bawling."
Professor Carolyn Rude, chairwoman of the university's English department, said Cho's writing was so disturbing that he had been referred to the university's counseling service.
"Sometimes, in creative writing, people reveal things and you never know if it's creative or if they're describing things, if they're imagining things or just how real it might be," Rude said. "But we're all alert to not ignore things like this."
She said she did not know when he was referred for counseling, or
what the outcome was. Rude refused to release any of his writings or his grades, citing privacy laws. The counseling service refused to comment.
Cho — who arrived in the United States as boy from South Korea in 1992 and was raised in suburban Washington, D.C., where his parents worked at a dry cleaners — left a note in his dorm room that was found after the bloodbath.
A government official, who spoke of condition of anonymity because he had not been authorized to discuss details of the case, said the note had been described to him as "anti-woman, anti-rich kid."
The Chicago Tribune reported on its Web site that the note railed against "rich kids," "debauchery" and "deceitful charlatans" on campus. ABC, citing law enforcement sources, said that the note, several pages long, explains Cho's actions and says, "You caused me to do this."
Col. Steve Flaherty, superintendent of the Virginia State Police, said there was no evidence so far that Cho left a suicide note, but he said authorities were going through a considerable number of writings.
CAMPUS SAFETY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas Campus threats forced lock-downs and evacuations at universities and grade schools in seven states on Tuesday, a day after a Virginia Tech student's shooting rampage killed 33 people.
One threat in Louisiana directly mentioned the massacre in Virginia, while others were reports of suspicious activity in Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, North Dakota, South Dakota and Michigan.
In Louisiana, parents picked up hundreds of students from Bogalusa's high school and middle school amid reports that a man had been arrested Tuesday morning for threatening a mass killing in a note that alluded to the murders at Virginia Tech.
Schools Superintendent Jerry Payne said both schools were locked down and police arrested a 53-year-old man who allegedly made the threat in a note he gave to a student headed to the private Bowling Green School in Franklinton. Both towns are in southeastern Louisiana.
"The note referred to what happened at Virginia Tech," Payne said. "It said something like, 'If you think that was bad, then you haven't seen anything yet.'"
In Rapid City, S.D., schools were locked down after receiving reports of a man with a gun in a parking lot at Central High. No shots were
fired and no injuries were reported, police said. The high school students were taken to the nearby Rushmore Plaza Civic Center, where parents were allowed to pick up their children.
In Austin, authorities evacuated buildings at St. Edward's University after a threatening note was found, a school official said.
Police secured the campus perimeter and were searching the buildings, St. Edward's University spokeswoman Mischelle Amador said. She declined to say where the note was found and said its contents were "nonspecific."
Amador said the university's reaction was not influenced by Monday's attack at Virginia Tech.
"No matter what day or when this would have happened, we will always take the necessary precautions to protect our students, our faculty, our staff, the entire university community," she said.
In Bloomfield Hills, Mich., police attributed a 30-minute lockdown at the exclusive Cranbrow Schools complex in response to jittery nerves following the Virginia slavings.
School officials called police after parents and students reported spotting a 6-foot-tall man in a skirt, high heels, lipstick and a blond wig near a school drop-off area outside Cranbrook's Kingswood Upper School, Lt. Paul Myszenski said. Police were unable to find anyone meeting the man's description.

ENTERTAINMENT Gay, lesbian family cruise
removes Bermuda stop
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — A summer cruise for gay and lesbian families organized by Rosie O'Donnell has cut Bermuda from its planned itinerary because of possible protests by church groups in the British island territory.
O'Donnell's charter company said it would replace the Bermuda stop with two ports of call in Florida and a stop at a private island. The
tour is scheduled to leave New York in July on a ship owned by Miamibased Norwegian Cruise Line.
The charter company, R Family Vacations, said on its Web site that it wanted to avoid the type of protests that greeted passengers when one of its cruises stopped in Nassau, Bahamas, in 2004.
in the statement, the company said Bermuda's prime minister had assured them they would be welcome as tourists and they had also received hundreds of supportive e-mails from people who live in the
In 2004, about 100 protesters chanting anti-gay slogans met one of the company's cruises when it arrived in Nassau with about 1,150 passengers.
Still, organizers felt they couldn't be sure there would be no protesters greeting them upon arrival.

The University Daily Kansan responds to the Virginia Tech tragedy
Whether we were directly affected, the tragedy at Virginia Tech touches us all. What is most horrifying about this massacre is that it could have been us. On Monday the University of Kansas could have woken up to the sound of gunshots resounding through Jayhawk Boulevard, or had its students hide under desks dodging bullets. Instead we woke up to the familiar sound of the campus whistle and sat peacefully through lectures in Budig, stopping only to silently huddle around televisions and cell phones to watch the violence unfold hundreds of miles away. It could have been us, but it wasn't. Because we are part of a university community we share a profound understanding of the impact of this senseless act of violence. As university students, professors, faculty and staff members ourselves we share a common thread. As a forum for University opinions we've dedicated this page to comments, reactions and opinions about this tragedy. We'll be open to your feelings, in whatever form they may come; from letters to the editor, to Free For All comments to editorial cartoons. We'll continue to print your submissions as long as you send them.

》 OUR VIEW
Amidst tragedy, University should remember and rally
And let no one say that violence is the courageous way, that violence is the short route, that violence is the easy route. Because violence will bring no answer: It will bring no answer to your union; it will bring no answer to your people; it will bring no answer to us here in the United States, as a people.
— Robert F. Kennedy
This morning, thousands of KU students awoke to their peaceful lives, took a sharp breath of fresh April air, and began their collective Wednesday. Few, if any, of our lives have been shattered by violence; little, if any, of our calm has been disrupted by the cruel winds of fate. The sun still shines in idyllic Lawrence, as it will tomorrow and the next day.
Hundreds of miles away in Blacksburg, Va., 32 others are not so lucky, their lives snuffed out too soon by a man who held no grudge, bore no umbrage, against them. To say their deaths were senseless is to understate the matter — their premature departures are simply and cruelly unfair.
In the days and weeks to come, the U.S. will begin a national self-examination, peering inside its heart, its soul, searching for some explanation or justification for this violence. We will likely find no answer, but such is the nature of illogical violence. What we will find is a host of

alleged culprits: violent video games and the sometimes lonely souls who play them, frequently lax gun laws and their loophole-laden texts, the torturous pain of adolescent love and the tumultuous transitions of college campuses.
We will find those eager to place blame, desperate to lay this horrific tragedy at the feet of some wrongdoer. Their pursuit will be sadly
understood, affirmed with a quiet nod as we all try to make sense of tragic events. But in our rush to find some archetypal cause upon which to pin the culpability, let us not recoil in fear
or cower in trepidation, afraid to live our lives.
Is it so hard to imagine such an act happening on our beloved campus? The horror struck a university of about the same size, in a college town of equally placid stature. The thought of such an event occurring here or in any number of schools is terrifyingly believable, but this should not create an atmosphere of constant terror.
We will stand tall in the face of violence and fear. We will not dread those cowardly souls who find their only voice in the barrel of a gun. We will not allow the
depraved selfishness of murderers to force adjustments in our lives to their contemptible and malicious whims.
In the final analysis, we students must carry on the best we can, equipped with the sad knowledge that those steadfastly determined to kill and be killed can rarely be deterred, only contained. And as we watch the peaceful calm of campus enclaves, which semester by semester recedes before us, we remain ever vigilant, ever unyielding, ever hopeful.

Healing and reactions shouldn't begin with anger
My roommate told me his response to the Virginia Tech tragedy involved anger. Every time he flipped on the TV, he said, he became more and more furious. While I understand why he feels this way, to me his anger seems too easy of an emotion, too selfish of one. We need to get beyond this rage and start responding differently. Instead of miroring the Virginia Tech killer's rashness and lack of rationality with unchecked passion and outbursts, we must rise above and seek more meaningful approaches to make sure something like this doesn't happen again.
and discrimination. I worry now we will go through a similar process of unfounded conclusions about the killer and build harmful stereotypes upon his personality or beliefs.
If there's one thing I hope 9/11 and our country's spiraling reactions afterwards taught us, it's that making decisions or shaping beliefs out of anger is wrong. After 9/11, many in our country ignorantly feared Islam was a violent religion and that all Arabs were untrustworthy and acted upon these fears through racism
Perhaps the worst thing a tragedy like the Virginia Tech shootings can indicate is that in our own backyard, in apple pie America, something like this can happen. That means something deeply troubling, because we are all products of our society and culture. Hard questions arise: are we doing all we can in America to prevent violence? How do we ensure safety? I do not mean to absolve the young man of his crimes; they deny any possible acquittal. Instead, I merely ask that we examine the conscience of our larger culture and ourselves. Let the search for the prevention of further violence begin there, not with anger.

University should reevaluate security in wake of tragedy
In light of the tragic events that recently unfolded at Virginia Tech, I think we need to take a close look at lacking security measures at our universities. As a university student, I can tell you that security on university campuses across the nation, including the University of Kansas, is extremely inadequate.
While most campuses boast an efficient Department of Public Safety, they lack one of the most important communication tools needed during times of crisis. While the University has an efficient method of mass electronic communication through its Website and through e-mails, it doesn't have an effective way to let all people on campus in every building know that there is an imminent emergency unfolding. A public address system or warning siren system should be installed in every university building as well as along Jayhawk Boulevard to let KU students, faculty and staff know that
a dire situation is unfolding and lock-down is necessary. From what I understand, Virginia Tech had some sort of PA system and/or warning sirens, and the gunman was still able to massacre 32 people
I fear what the toll could have been if a warning system had not been in place. I'm sure the University has an emergency response plan but few students are actually aware of it, rendering it useless in an actual emergency. The University should make a better effort at informing students about proper procedures during an emergency. After Columbine, security measures were greatly improved in American high schools, but little was done for American universities. I hope that action to increase security on college campuses follows this horrible event.

Day-to-day images of violence desensitize culture
Sadly, an old wound has to be reopened. Every few years, it seems another senseless act of violence forces us to reevaluate where we, as a society, stand on things such as violence in the media, and the availability of guns. In the late 1990s, there was a long and bitter debate over the role of the media in the Columbine massacre, and while it is not as strong as it once was, it never quite died down. Unfortunately, the assault on Virginia Tech by one of its own students forces us to look again at where such horrific acts of violence can come from.
It seemed as if people who blamed video games and music videos were just zealots trying to water down the entertainment industry. I myself used to believe this, but it is hard to be sure any more. The most prominent acts of gun violence in the last ten years have been by
young people, who are the target audiences for video games featuring heavily-armed criminals who rarely have to face consequences for their actions, movies featuring
shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later heroes and a general glorification of what one person can do with the right amount of ammunition.

In 1998, two middle school students in Jonesboro, Arkansas killed five people, and wounded several others. In 1999, two high school students laid siege to a school in Littleton, Colorado and left thirteen people dead and several others wounded. In 2004, a crazed fan in his twenties shot and killed rock musician Dimebag Darrell
Abbott onstage at a concert, along with three other people. The death toll of the attack on the campus of Virginia Tech has been placed at over thirty
people. Accounts
from survivors describe having to be locked into classrooms to protect themselves from the gunman and barricading a door to keep him out
Mass murders do not just happen. Someone, or something, must put it into the minds of those who carry these acts out that what they are doing is the right thing. When we are surrounded by images of violence on a day-to-day basis, it is more than likely that at least some of us will be desensitized to them at some point. The question then is
begged, what is the solution? Would greater restraint by the entertainment industry, or even something as extreme as censorship, be what it takes to keep the seeds of horrific violence out of the heads of young people in America? Or do we need to reevaluate gun culture in general? Countless vehicles are adorned with stickers expressing the respective driver's love of their firearm, while the National Rifle Association would have us believe that owning a gun is a greater display of freedom and national pride than freedom of speech.
Regardless, there must be a solution. How many more innocent lives have to be lost before we wake up and realize that something is wrong?

From our front porches
Photographer sees Lawrence's beauty through camera lens
BY ALISON CUMBOW
Ben Gerrard is a laid-back guy from Adelaide, Australia.
He sees everything a normal University of Kansas student sees. Lawrence streets named after states, the gigantic trees that line them, and the houses on every corner — but he sees it all through a camera lens.
He takes pictures of what most would consider ordinary; scenes from his front porch at Eighth and Arkansas streets.
Gerrard began taking an interest in photography while living in Athens, Georgia.
"I started photographing local bands, which is where I really began exploring the digital medium," he said.
In August of last year, upon moving to Lawrence, Gerrard began working for Lawrence.com as its "party pics" main man.
"The opportunity really forced me to capture any images I could with artistry because I didn't have time to set up or look at my shot," he said.
When Gerrard first arrived in Kansas, he said he wrongfully compared Lawrence to his previous college town in Georgia.
It wasn't until he decided to exhibit some of his work and began generating ideas for photographs that he saw the simplistic beauty Lawrence had to offer
"It took seeing things through a camera to make me stop and realize what I was really looking at," Gerrard said.
With the goal of an exhibition, Gerrard began to work from the front porch of his house.
"I was struck by how beautiful West Lawrence is with all its big trees, and I wanted to capture that aspect from one spot. I wanted to master the ability to take a compositionally beautiful photograph," he said.
"I feel I have an eye for it, because I come from somewhere very foreign to
here. I do not look at Lawrence with the familiar eye that those who have lived here their whole lives do," he said.
Now on display in Starbucks on Massachusetts Street, Gerrard's vision has given many people something not only to look at, but also to question.
"I think it is really cool that someone would aspire to take pictures like this, and I would definitely buy some of them if I had the extra money." Katie Crowley, Lawrence junior, said.
Gerrard's photography ranges in price from $65 for an unframed print to $85 for a framed print.
"The prices are low, because I want people to enjoy and appreciate what I do, and I want students to be able to afford my pictures." Gerrard said.
His pictures have been on display since April 1, and will be on the walls of Starbucks until the end of June.
Gerrard's photos seem to give the coffee shop an edge worth going in for. While most of his work isn't edited, some of the close-ups have been cropped, and others have been experimented with digitally.
The most commercially popular picture is one in which Gerrard changed the color of the sky.
"I took out a gray sky and replaced it with a chocolate one," he said. "It made it look richer than before, and it gave more warmth to the photo. It had a spooky effect, which I really liked. I wanted to show I was capturing nature at its finest."
Some people spend a lot of time in Starbucks, whether for studying or socializing with friends.
Gerrard works part time at Starbucks and loves the feedback he gets from both the customers and his co-workers.
"I think his pictures are very representative of Lawrence, and the fact that he isn't even from here but is able to capture our town in this way, is awesome," said Whitney Downum, a Sedelia, Mo., senior, and co-worker of Gerrard.
As for the future, Gerrard plans to work on a bachelor of social work degree while his fiancée does a doctoral internship at the University.

10-part talent Senior finds niche as decathlete
BY TAYLOR BERN
For most people, excelling in one track and field event is more than enough to keep them satisfied. But for Kansas senior Josh Kirk, it took 10.
Kirk, who will compete in the Kansas Relays decathlon that begins today, took a while to find his niche as a decathlete for the Kansas track team because coming out of high school he was unsure which sport he wanted to pursue.
"I kind of wanted to play basketball and soccer as well," Kirk said. "I went to Johnson County which ended both of those for me, but then they suggested the decathlon and I tried it and caught on quick."
Kirk excelled immediately, earning All American honors for finishing second in the decathlon

at the 2004 NJCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. He then followed vertical jumps coach Tom Hays when he made the jump from Johnson County to Kansas.
In his junior season, Kirk finished fifth in the decathlon at the Big 12 Championships and placed 14th in the pole vault at the Kansas Relays. Along with the pole vault, Kirk feels his best events are the 400-meter dash and 1,500-meter run. That variety is what makes the decathlon perfect for him.
"I don't think I could do just one event, I think I'd get bored with it," Kirk said. "Being able to practice several different things everyday is very appealing."
The 10 decathlon events are the 100, 400, 1500, 110 hurdles, long jump, high jump, javelin,

The Jayhawks will face No. 10 Wichita State at 7 tonight at Eck Stadium in Wichita. The Shockers defeated the Jayhawks 18-3 last month.
Jayhawks face rematch
BY ALISSA BAUER
It was April 1992 the last time Kansas endured a 15-run beating at the hands of Wichita State.
Until last month's 18-3 loss to the Shockers, the Jayhawks (19-22) have held their own against the state's most historic baseball program. In the Ritch Price era, Kansas was dead even with No. 10 Wichita State (30-8) until the loss March 14, giving Wichita State the steal 6-5 advantage. The Jayhawks will travel to Wichita for a rematch against the Shockers at 7 tonight.
"Obviously we need to get that game under our belt then have some momentum for the weekend," Price said. "We've just got to keep playing. Our guys are playing as good as they can play."
The Shockers not only have Eck Stadium's nearly 8,000 fan capacity advantage, but the hosts are also the hotter team. Earning their top 10 in the nation status, the Shockers are 7-3 in their last 10 contests. They've
also taken their last six straight, including a weekend sweep against Missouri Valley Conference opponent Southern Illinois.
In sharp contrast, the lajahwaks are 3-7 in their last 10 games. While Wichita State was sweeping a conference nemesis, Baylor was handling Kansas its fifth straight Big 12 series loss.
"I still think when they're done, they'll finish fifth." Price said of Baylor. "They opened the season in the Top 25 and that's the best pitching that we've seen all year in our conference."
Albeit young, the layhawks will likely see more quality pitching tonight in Wichita, a club known more for its pitching than its offense that put up 18 runs against the layhawks a month ago.
Freshman lefty Tyson Fugett (0-0, 3.12) is scheduled to take the mound for the Shockers. Fuget has thrown just 8 2/3 innings in five appearances but has struck out nine.
junior right-hander Andres Esquibel (5-3, 5.76) will look to hold the run count to a much slimmer number than the teams' last match-up. In 45 1/3 innings of work, the midweek starter has sat 45 opponents down on strikes.
Esquibel has also allowed just five home runs this season, which could prove quite helpful. Although they've only knocked 14 out this season, the Shockers tallied three home runs against Kansas in their last outing.
On the other side of the ball,
The layhawks, however, love the long ball and have 36 home runs as a team. Nevertheless, Wichita State still carries the offensive edge heading into tonight's game.
Before taking on Oral Roberts on Tuesday night, eight of Wichita State's staring nine position players were hitting .300 or better. Last week's MVC player of the week, Conor Gillaspie, had an outstanding week going 8-15 with seven runs, four doubles, a triple and five RBL.
Yet, the sophomore third baseman ranks third on the team with a .353 average.
The jayhawks are bringing a hot bat with them, as well. Freshman third baseman Roby Price went 6-for-12 with a pair of RBI this weekend against Baylor, tallying a hit in each game of the series.
One more testament to the Jahvayhins being down, but not out.
"It's big," Erik Morrison, junior shortstop said, referring to Kansas' sole ownership of the Big 12's last place. "The top eight teams get a chance to go to the Big 12 tournament and that's our goal as of right now. We've got our work cut out for us."

Kansas looks to rebound
BY EVAN KAFARAKIS

The Jayhawks have dropped six of their last seven conference games in a league that features four ranked teams. The team was outscored 20-0 last weekend by No. 5 Texas A&M.
Kansas' young softball team is getting quite the welcome to Big 12 Conference play.
Kansas (27-16-1, 3-6) hopes to break its three-game losing streak today against Missouri (30-18, 6-1). The Tigers are in town for a doubleheader at Arrocha Ballpark. Game one will begin at 3 p.m., followed by game two.
"This league is not forgiving and there are no breaks," coach Tracy Bunge said. "When you're playing as good of competition as the Big 12 as you are and we're not playing
Coming into the season, senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys was expected to be one of the Big 12's best. While she boasts a 13-9 record and 162 strikeouts, Humphreys struggled in her last start, giving up four runs. That outing was uncharacteristic considering Humphreys gives up less than three runs a game.
The Kansas softball team hosts Missouri this afternoon for a doubleheader at Arrochio Ballpark. First pitch is set for 3 p.m.
Bunge said she and her coaching staff were staying positive with the young group because they saw the effort, but maybe that effort was too high, adding extra pressure.

really well on defense and we're not getting the pitching and people are struggling offensively, its tough."
The Tigers win with offense, ranking third in the Big 12 in team batting average (.297), second in runs scored (284) and first in doubles (76). The Tigers average 5.92 runs per game.
Pitching has been the trouble for the Tigers this season. They rank last in the conference with a 3.88 team ERA.
"We got to go out and we got to battle and we got to keep working to get better and we just have to stay positive because they're beating themse'ves up." Bunge said. "This is a group that we're not going to get down on."
The layhawks have won the last two games against the Tigers and hope they can extend that streak today.
"We're just trying to put up W's now," senior first baseman Nicole Washburn said. "Especially big ones against Missouri."

Rush will benefit from one more year
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
KANSAN COLUMNIST
SPORTS@KANSAN.COM
As a Jayhawk next season, Rush will be a preseason All-American and ultimately a consensus first team All-American at the end of the season, which would earn him the right to have his jersey retired.
If Brandon Rush returns next basketball season, his jersey will be hanging in the Allen Fieldhouse rafters in five years.
By staying at Kansas, he'll be put in the role as the go-to guy again, but he'll have one less person to compete with for possessions. I really believe next season he will come around and as the super talent everyone says he can be. He's been really good, if not great as a Jayhawk. But he can be elite next season.
If Rush leaves now, he'll wind up a lost soul in the NBA. He'll see few minutes, and when he does it will be roaming the perimeter as a spot-up three-point shooter, but nothing much more than that.
Unlike Wright, what Rush needs to work on he can't do while riding the bench in the NBA. Rush needs to work on his assertiveness and his willingness to take a game over in the clutch. Those are intangibles you can't learn watching games from the sideline.
Rush has been moderately close to earning the All-American title but hasn't yet achieved it. As a junior he would finally get over the hump, earn first-team honors and stand at center court and watch as the Athletics Department unveils his retired jersey, after the mandatory five-year waiting period.
V
However, this is all contingent on Rush returning for his junior year. If Rush decides to leave for the NBA, he will probably fall somewhere in the second round, especially considering the amount of talented players declaring everyday. Rush can truly benefit from another year of college ball.
Julian Wright is never going to be a go-to shooter like Rush. They both have the potential to be great players in the league, but they will be different types of players — Wright a Marvin Williams-like player and Rush a Shawn Marion-like player. Wright can work on his shot while being a bench player in the NBA.
Rush can bring it all together, make a run at a national championship and have a shot at national player of the year. He likely would have made a run at a player of the year award next season regardless of early departures by players to the NBA this offseason.
Next season his only competition will be North Carolina forward Tyler Hansbrough, North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson, UCLA point guard Darren Collison, possibly Marquette guard Dominic James and then whatever sleep-

NCAA BASKETBALL Wichita State recruit collapses, dies Monday
NEW HAMPTON, N.H. — A Wichita State recruit died Monday night after collapsing on a basketball court at New Hampton School, a school spokesman said.
Guy Alang-Ntang, a senior, was playing in a pick-up game at the Smith Gymnasium on the prep school campus. He was on the court, away from the action, when he apparently lost consciousness and fell backward about 7 p.m., spokesman Peter Miller said.
He was taken by ambulance to Speare Memorial Hospital in Plymouth, where he was later pronounced dead.
Alang-Ntang is survived by his parents, who live in Cameroon, Africa.
In a written statement late Monday, the Wichita State athletic department said it was saddened by Alang-Ntang's death.

Sorenstam sits out Golfer aims to return by end of May
ASSOCIATED PRESS
REUNION, Fla. — Annika Sorenstam was on her feet for nearly two hours, hosting a golf clinic for children, speaking to sponsors and dignitaries from behind a podium, cutting the ribbon to officially open the Annika Academy and giving her guests a tour.
Then it was time to slip into something more comfortable.
So she put on her neck brace
Sorentam sat in a conference room, resting her right arm on a table, unable to lift it over her shoulder. She gently rubbed an area at the base of her index finger that she said was numb. Her goal is to return to the LPGA Tour by May 31 for her new tournament, the Ginn Tribute Hosted by Annika, but even that is in doubt because no one knows the extent of her injury.
She has a ruptured disk in her neck and a bulging disk in her back, which explains why she is off to her worst start since 1999.
But that might not be the only thing affecting her game.
Not even an MRI can detect desire. Nor can a neck brace keep the 36-year-old Swede from looking more content than ever.
Sorenstam once found her fulfillment on the golf course, whether that meant shooting a 59, teeing it up against the men at the Colonial, winning the career Grand Slam, pursuing the calendar Grand Slam and otherwise establishing herself as the
greatest of her generation
"I do want to make clear that the competition still means a lot," said Sorenstam, who is third on the LPGA career list with 69 victories and fourth with 10 majors. "There's nothing like going down the 18th fairway with your adrenaline pumping, and when I get that chance, I don't think about other things."
"But when you've got the tournament weeks, the practice ... until you get to Sunday, it's tough to get the match lit."
What motivates her more these days is building a brand. She opened the 5,400-square-foot academy Monday and has plans to design a golf course. Sorenstam is so involved with details that she even picked out the carpeting in the academy.
"Right now, this is what excites me. That's really the truth," she said. "I've tried to motivate myself at times. I know I can play. If I really have to gear up for an event, I can do it. But it's almost like, I've done that so many times! This is thrilling to me. This is more about giving back. I'm very complete right now."
Sorentstam has dropped casual hints during the last several years that she wants more out of life than a collection of trophies, even as they were piling up at a ridiculous rate. She won 43 times in a five-year span starting in 2001. After each season, it seemed inevitable that she eventually would challenge the record 88 victories by Kathy Whitworth. That record now looks out of reach.

The Kansas tennis team takes its season-high six-match losing streak into today's final road match of the season at Oklahoma.
The match begins at 1 p.m.
The jayhawks had their last victory on March 10 — a 5-2 victory against the Nebraska Cornhuskers
Kansas (4-14, 2-7 Big 12 Conference) takes on the Oklahoma Sooners (7-11, 4-5), who are coming off consecutive losses to Nebraska and Oklahoma State.
After a 14-11 record a year ago, Kansas is in danger of equalizing its 2005 record of 4-17. After the its midweek match with Oklahoma, the team will close out the regular season at home against Texas A&M on Sunday.

"Some girls are getting frustrated",
Hall-Holt said after their sixth consecutive loss against Colorado on Sunday.
"We talk about keeping a positive attitude on and off the court."
On the individual side, sophomore Yuliana Svistun's seven victories are tied for second for most wins at No. 5 singles in the Big 12. Junior Elizaveta Avdeeva and Horvath — who were once 6-1 in the conference — have dropped two straight and sit tied for second in wins at No. 1 doubles.
"I admire the girls that step up and continue to play; Hall-Holl said. "But in the long run, I'd rather have healthy players. I don't want any major damage done to the girls."
With its 2-7 conference record, Kansas is tied with Texas Tech for 10th in the conference. Kansas should finish no worse than 11th with perennial conference doormar Iowa State firmly implanted in the cellar at 0-9 in the Big 12.

Competitors receive a certain amount of points for their performance in each event, and a running tally lets everyone know who leads after each event, which is an advantage for the athletes.
"You perform through your ups and downs, and at the end the best overall athlete wins," Kirk said.
Freshman Jacob Breth will join Kirk in the decathlon for Kansas, while freshman Chelsea Helm represents Kansas in the heptathlon. Both competitions are spread out between two days.
The first Kansas Relays event is the 100-meter dash portion of the decathlon at 10 a.m. today in Memorial Stadium.

Rush can compete with all of them, if not beat them all in an MVP race. If he leaves now, maybe he can manage to improve into a starting NBA player. If he stays, he will gain so much more. His confidence, hunger and competitiveness will all improve. He will finally get that All-American bid and eventually have his jersey retired. Then he will be a high lottery pick next year and immediately help an NBA team improve.
That's if he stays.

COMMENTARY
Positive forecast for 2007 Spring Scrimmage shows promise for fall season
beautiful Sunday afternoon, a large crowd (relatively speaking), and a free T-shirt.
Everything was set up perfectly off the field for the Kansas football Spring Scrimmage Sunday at Memorial Stadium. Here's what I was able to walk away with following the play on the field:
Positives
The secondary is much improved from a season
BY KAYVON SARRAF
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
KSARRAF@KANSAN.COM
MISSED OUT
improved from a season ago
— In all fairness to Anthony Webb, a true freshman should not be thrown into the fire in Big 12 Conference football. Junior college transfer Kendrick Harper appears to have solidified the No. 2 corner spot and a healthy Darrell Stuckey was all over the field Sunday. Tang Bacheyie, filling in for senior Jerome Kemp, did not have to make any plays but he sure passes the looks test.
The man is huge and can run.
Joe Mortensen looks more comfortable at middle linebacker
— Whether he remains the starter in the middle in front of Mike Rivera remains to be seen, but Mortensen looked at home attacking the line of scrimmage from the middle of the field as opposed to chasing down running backs off the edge, where his speed more closely resembles Tank Johnson than Derrick
Johnson.
Anthony Collins is a monster — It was difficult to find the defensive end Collins was blocking as he was usually five yards downfield on the ground. The switch from right tackle to left tackle with Cesar Rodriguez is going to show how dominant Collins, as Todd Reesing/Kerry Meier will no longer be hearing footsteps from their blind side all game long. Collins appears ready to take his game to the all-conference level.
Kyle Tucker appears to have regained his sophomore form — Tucker may have let his nomination for the Ray Guy award as the nation's top punter two seasons ago get to his head because he was flat out abysmal last season, routinely shanking punts into the crowd and booming punts into the end zone from 40 yards out. The old Tucker needs to return for Kansas to be as good as it can be.
— Mangino is yet to have one quarterback stay healthy an entire season, so whoever the starter may be, it will need to have a backup come in without much drop off.
Two competent quarterbacks
A new offensive coordinator — Ed Warriner's playbook appears it may actually have more than five plays in it. The new no-huddle offense looked to throw the ball downfield more than it did in any game last season, giving big and fast wide receivers Marcus Herford and Marcus Henry an opportunity to make plays.
Negatives
Depart at offensive line
Mangino needs to hope nobody gets injured up front because the second-string offensive line ushered blue jerseys to Reesing/Meier all game long.
Mistakes from the quarterback
- While Reesing and Meier each proved they could run the offense with success, each needs to learn to take care of the football. Meier threw an interception to Stuckey, while Reesing still carries the football like a loaf of bread when scrambling.

Chiefs, defensive tackle
agree to three-year deal
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed veteran defensive tackle James Reed to a three-year contract on Tuesday. Terms were not disclosed.
Reed, a free agent, started 15 games for Kansas City in 2006, including the Chiefs' 23-8 playoff
loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The former seventh-round pick out of Iowa State had 42 tackles, 10 quarterback pressures and a sack.
The Kansas City defense ranked 16th in the league last season, Reed's first with the Chiefs. It marked a big improvement over 2005, when the Kansas City defense ranked 25th and allowed nearly 330 yards per game.
The Chiefs already resigned defensive linemen Jimmy Wilkerson and Ron Edwards, and agreed to a four-year contract with former Chicago Bears backup Alfonso Boone. But the defensive line remains a priority heading into the draft, along with cornerback, wide receiver and offensive line.

3 - Agib Talib, 6-2, 180, junior
Four weeks of spring practices cleared up the picture on the offensive line and at the wide receiver spots, but questions remain at quarterback and running back. Sophomores Todd Reesing and Kerry Meier have played their way to a deadlock and should both see plenty of playing time this fall. Sophomore Jake Sharp has secured the tailback position but it remains to be seen how many carries senior fullback Brandon McAnderson will receive.

7 - Patrick Resby, 6-2, 195, junior
This spring the Kansas defense looked more impressive than the much maligned and often scored upon 2006 version. The addition of junior cornerback Kendrick Harper from Butler County Community College gives the defense what it has needed for the past two seasons: a second capable cornerback to lineup opposite All-Big 12 first-team nominee Aqib Talib. Juniors Joe Mortensen and Mike Rivera are in a battle for the middle linebacker position, proving the Jayhawks have some quality depth at the linebacker position.

The special teams should once again be one of Kansas' strong suits in 2007. Senior kicker Scott Webb has been consistent throughout his career and is one of the Big 12 Conference's best. Senior punter Kyle Tucker was sloppy at times last season but was always capable of pinning the opponent deep in its own territory with a booming punt. Junior cornerback Gary Green will take over as the punt returner with little competition from sophomore safety Darrell Stuckey, who struggled to field routine punts in the Spring Scrimmage.

Disabled vets sue Michigan
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — A disabled veterans group sued the University of Michigan on Tuesday, saying there weren't enough spaces for wheelchair users at Michigan Stadium, one of the largest football stadiums in the country.
The federal lawsuit, filed by the Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America, claims university officials are intentionally sidestepping the rules of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
A $226 million renovation is planned for the 107,000-seat stadium, which currently has 90 wheelchair-accessible seats. The schools says the renovation work will increase that to 282 seats, but the suit argues that about 1,000 wheelchair-accessible seats are required.
"It's extremely disappointing that it had to come to this," Richard Bernstein, attorney for the plaintiffs, said.
Michigan spokeswoman Kelly Cunningham said that although university officials had not reviewed the lawsuit, the ongoing renovation met ADA standards.
"The university is very concerned with providing accessible seats to all of our fans," Cunningham said.
Wildcats schedule tougher games in effort to improve
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Just imagine a Kansas State football fan who wakes up today after a 15-year nap and takes a look at his team's nonconference schedule.
What happened to Bill Snyder's famous, stubborn insistence on loading up with cream puffs? Did Ball State and Northeast Louisiana and their ilk quit playing football?
There's a new man in charge with a new approach.
He would think he must still be dreaming. Could these be the Wildcats who are opening their regular season at Auburn and closing it at Fresno State?
Not at all. The philosophy of almost never playing anyone who might offer even the mildest challenge has, like Snyder, gone into retirement at Kansas State.
"Where we are in the development of our team and our program, I think having the opportunity to go play those kind of opponents will do nothing but benefit us," coach Ron Prince said Monday.
Prince maintains it's a philosophy that already paid dividends after the loss to a nationally ranked Louisville team last year in Prince's first season as Snyder's replacement.
"I was very much in favor of adding that game," Prince said. "It gave
us a chance to really find out where we were going into conference play"
almost never playing a challenging nonconference game hurt the program's national image, painting the Wildcats' as bullies who were scared to pick on anybody their own size. Prince figures his new approach could have the opposite effect.
"I think having the opportunity to go play those kind of opponents will do nothing but benefit us."
RON PRINCE Kansas State coach
"I don't think we would have won the Texas game. I don't think we'd have been able to play the way we played (against Texas) without having played the Louisville game." Prince said. "It gave our kids, it gave our staff a chance to see where we really were. I think we're counting on the same with this year's schedule."
"The Auburn game will be very well covered. The Fresno game, they're going to be back to the
"It's an opportunity for us to play on both coasts in major markets," he said.
Many felt Snyder's insistence on
top of their game this year. So that will give us exposure on the West Coast. So from a standpoint of getting out the message about Kansas State and having our logo behind those talking heads on television, that's what this is about."

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
New Iowa State coach debuts at spring game
BY BRETT MCINTYRE
IOWA STATE DAILY
AMES, Iowa — Fans got their first look at ISU football coach Gene Chizik's Cyclones inside Jack Trice Stadium on Saturday at the annual spring game.
The game had new faces on the sidelines and a new "offense vs. defense" format and scoring system with starters and backups rotating every series. There were a couple moments when fans needed programs to identify players, but it was some old names that lifted the
offense to a 31
22 victory.
Quarterback Bret Meyer was 11-for-16 passing for 196 yards and a touchdown, while Jason Harris broke off an 81-yard touchdown run in his return to running back from safety.
Seven different receivers caught passes, and Alvin Bowen and Jon Banks led the team with seven tackles in what Chizik called a successful spring practice.
"I think wed played pretty well," Chizik said. "We made some mistakes, but it was good to get out there and do this in front of some fans. I'm very appreciative of everyone who came out to watch us today."
"We made some mistakes, but it was good to get out there and do this in front of some fans."
Meyer said it was not only great to play in front of fans, but great to play in temperatures in the 50s.
"Last Saturday it was like eight or 10 degrees wind-chill out there," Meyer said. "It was a lot more fun going out there today especially with fans in the stands."
Culbertson. The offense managed to get on a roll, highlighted by Jason Harris' 81-yard TD romp before the intermission, taking control of the game, but the defense made a bit of a "comeback" before everything was said and done, showing effort that Chizik said he loved.
The offense got off to a slow start, going three-and-out on the first two series of the game before the offense managed a drive to set up a 37-yard field goal from Bret
"As I told the players before we went out there, the two things I don't want anybody to be able to watch us and say is we don't give great effort or we don't play physical." Chizik said. "Everybody has a question
GENE CHIZIK Iowa State coach
of how good we'll be on offense, how good we'll be on defense
- those questions are still up in the air.
I don't know the answer to those. But I know that I don't ever want to walk
of the field and say somebody, saw us play where we didn't give effort or play physical."
While Chizik was pleased with the overall effort, Meyer said there were plays left on the field that he would have liked to make.
Meyer was sacked twice, and was heavily pressured several times. Add in a few pass drops on passes from both Meyer and back-up Austen Arnaud and there was plenty of room to preach consistency.
"I felt OK today," Meyer said. "There's always plays you want to have back. Obviously we had two three-and-outs right away and you want to have a better start than that. We definitely need more consistency"
Chizik was also not pleased with the sacks given up by the Cyclones. Iowa state ranked near the bottom of the league last season, giving up 38 sacks through
the course of the year, making it an area of concern.
"We're still holding on to the ball too long and we're still giving up too many sacks," Chizik said. "Sacks are unacceptable. You either block the guys up front or get rid of the football. We're trying to stay out of negative plays and if we don't, that's very disappointing."
The offense also had some turnover problems, fumbling at midfield, and another fumble by receiver Matt Scribbins after catching a 63-yard pass off of a deflection inside the 5-ward line.
"We turned the ball over today," Chizik said. "That is unacceptable. You cannot win football games by putting the ball on the ground or throwing interceptions. It's that simple.
"And defensively we gave up way too many explosive plays. Those are backbreakers."
R. J. Sumrall had a big game for the receivers, catching six passes for 134 vards and a touchdown.
"I think I'm in a position where I can step up and contribute to the team," Sumrall said.
"Everybody wants to be great. We want to be great. We didn't do that great last year and we want to change that."
According to Chizik, fans did not get to see senior receiver Todd Blythe in action because of a few minor injuries.
"This has been a very physical spring practice," Chizik said. "Todd is such a competitor — he wanted to play — but he got banged up a little bit in our last practice and we didn't want to risk four months of training if he were to get hurt. He could have gone today if we were getting ready to play someone, but we didn't want to risk it."
Fans won't have another chance to see the team for four months until Iowa State opens the season against Kent State on August 30.

Nebraska quarterback Sam Keller receives a snap during the football team's annual Red-White spring game in Lincoln, Neb., Saturday. Keller transferred from Arizona State in April.
'Husker QB spot up for grabs
>> BIG 12 FOOTBALL COMMENTARY
Spring practices fail to establish frontrunner for starting job
BY JONATHAN CROWL
DAILY NEBRASKAN
LINCOLN, Neb. — The spring season failed to fill the most obvious blank spot on the Nebraska football depth chart. Even though the starting quarterback job was never going to be awarded, the spring game failed to present a clear favorite, even in the minds of the fans.
Senior Sam Keller has the arm. Junior Joe Ganz has foot speed. Both put up impressive numbers.
Both went against the second-team defense.
The difficulty in establishing one as the clear-cut favorite lies in what makes them good. Ganz and Keller are different quarterbacks. You don't need jersey numbers to tell them apart.
But start distinguishing individuals' combination of strengths — tempered with weaknesses — and it becomes a gray area. If nothing else, fans who shot down the notion of a quarterback battle at the start of spring might rescind their confidence.
Nebraska coach Bill Callahan said the team would refrain from naming a starting quarterback until the end of training camp in August.
"We felt very good about how Sam Keller and Joe Ganz performed," Callahan said. "When you look at some of the numbers they posted (Saturday), it's pretty impressive, and
I was really pleased with everything they did."
"I'm going to continue to evaluate our quarterback situation."
Often times the most valuable aspect of spring practice is integrating new players into starting positions. This lessens the transition and adjustment period when freshmen arrive in the fall.
The opportunity to integrate players was valuable for the defensive line, which will feature four new starters in 2007. In other areas, individuals such as sophomore safety Rickey Thenarse get the chance to compete for the first time with returning starters.
ers, getting used to one another and playing more like a team"
Potter said the most important thing between now and the season opener Sept. 1 against Nevada will be building on the strides made in spring. Rather than taking steps backward, Potter said there are things to work on individually and as a team.
"When you look at some of the numbers they posted (Saturday),it's pretty impressive."
No matter what else is said,
For some positions, experience and talent are in good supply. The wide receivers and linebacking corps are possibly the strongest, most talented groups on the field. Even so, those positions still have to deal with new personnel throughout the lineup.
BILL CALLAHAN
Nebraska coach
"The improvement we made through the spring was awesome," junior defensive end Zach Potter said. "We got, I think, around 1,500 reps this spring. That helped us out a lot working with the other play-
though, the eyes of Husker Nation will be focused on that open starting slot at quarterback. What was once viewed as a reserved seat has quickly evolved into a neck-and-neck battle that few saw coming.
It seems clear after Saturday's scrimmage that all reservations have been cancelled.
"It was just an awesome feeling going out with the first team and not going out with the backup role or anything," Ganz said. "The only thing I couldn't show was my ability to scramble too much because I wasn't live. I couldn't make anybody miss. But other than that, I think I took advantage of everything that we needed to take advantage of."

Red Raiders shift focus to academics after busy spring
BY ADAM COLEMAN
DAILY TOREADOR
LUBBOCK, Texas — After numerous practices and the Red-Black Spring Game, the Texas Tech football team is looking forward to
some on time before the summer.
Monday's practice marked the end of spring workouts, and with the end of the semester approaching, senior safety Joe Garcia said this part of the off-season gives him

"Right now, just finish up school," Garcia said. "Everybody (has to) work on their studies. Everybody (is) a little bit behind, so we catch up, knock those grades out and we get a little bit of a break, and come back for the summer."

Tech coach Mike Leach said many players had a chance to work Monday, and as a result, the last practice of spring turned out well.
"We got a lot of people
involved," Leach said. "Today's focus was that (we) have a good practice and then let our (third string) get a little bit of work."
Besides studying, some players plan to continue to work on their techniques at their respective position.
Junior quarterback Graham Harrell said he plans to help the quarterbacks and receiving corps
continue to gel together.
"More than anything, I think we just have to continue to grow as a unit, as a team," Harrell said. "We'll throw some (passes) our own. We just have to continue to get on the same page as the receivers and all the young guys. If we continue that, we're going to be really good."
The seniors have been through many spring practices throughout out their career, and the completion of Monday's practice marks their last as a member of the Tech football team.
Overall, Garcia said the final practice of the spring turned out to be a good way to end leading into summer workouts.
"I thought it was good," Garcia said. "I thought it (went) really well. We had intensity out there (these) last days. It was fun."
Leach said the team improved this spring, but there are still some areas to work on before the 2007 season starts.
"I think we accomplished some things," Leach said. "I think we can improve, but we'll steadily do that and continue the best you can."

Cardinals swept by Pirates
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tom Gorzelanny and Matt Capps combined on a four-hitter and Adam LaRoche hit a three-run homer in a 6-1 victory against St. Louis on Tuesday that gave the Pittsburgh Pirates a two-game sweep.
"They're the big dogs in our division, and it's good to get out there and shut them down," Gorzelanny said. "If we can keep doing that, you're going to be seeing a lot of good things out of us."
The Cardinals' 6-7 start is the worst by a World Series winner since the 1998 Florida Marlins were 1-11. St. Louis completed a 1-3 homestand, scoring 10 runs in a victory over Milwaukee and totaling five runs in the losses. After going
49-31 last season, the NL's secondbest home record, the Cardinals are 1-6 at Busch Stadium.
After So Taguchi doubled with one out in the ninth and Pujols walked, Capps came in and struck out Scott Rolen and Preston Wilson.

son. "It's exciting that I have gotten off to this kind of start."
In his first game at Busch Stadium since striking out the Tigers' Brandon Inge for the last out of the World Series, Adam Wainwright (1-1) gave up five runs — four earned — and eight hits in six innings. He has allowed 11 earned runs in 17 2-3 innings against the Pirates, a 5.60 ERA.
Gorzelanny (2-0) fell just short of his first complete game in 15 major league starts, allowing one run and four hits in 8 1-3 innings with two strikeouts and three walks. He faced the minimum through four innings, benefiting from a pair of double plays, and had a 12-inning scoreless streak before the Cardinals scored in the fifth on a pair of hits and Gary Bennett's sacrifice fly.
"Everyone expects to do well, and that's what I expect," said Gorzelanny, the Pirates' minor league pitcher of the year last sea-
"I threw a lot of pitches over the plate, just bad, bad pitches," Wainwright said. "I'm really getting tired of telling all the media folks that it wasn't good because I feel like I've been doing that a lot lately. So results-wise, it finally caught up to me."

Injury forces Cubs to reshuffle
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Just when the new-look Chicago Cubs began to play some winning baseball, Alfonso Soriano went down with an injury.
The star outfielder came out in the fifth inning Monday night after straining his left hamstring while attempting a diving catch in Chicago's 12-4 rout of the San Diego Padres at Wrigley Field.
The Cubs hoped to know more about the injury after an MRI exam Tuesday. Even if the test reveals no tears, Soriano thought he would miss at least five days.
"It's not that bad," he said.
Soriano, who limped out of the clubhouse after the game, was shaken up on a night when the Cubs shook up their lineup.
Chicago began the day last in the NL Central at 4-7 and entered with five losses in six games, so manager Lou Piniella shuffled a few players around.
The biggest change was moving Jacque Jones from right field to left and dropping him to sixth in the batting order. Matt Murton started in right, batted cleanup and delivered two hits and two RBIs.
Piniella said before the game he
was just "changing things up a little bit. Nothing more, nothing less."
He also said one move that's not under consideration at the moment is moving Soriano out of center field, even though he entered with a .234 average and no homers. Of course, the bigger issue afterward was his health.
"I don't like to get hurt," Soriano said. "I know that I'm not going to be able to play tomorrow, so it's sad for me because ... I like to play every day. We'll see how I look tomorrow."
Jason Marquis (1-1) allowed one run in six innings to win for the first time since signing a $21 million, three-year contract with the Cubs. He beat Clay Hensley (0-3), who was tagged for 10 runs and 11 hits in five-plus innings.
Soriano, who signed a $136 million, eight-year contract, and Marquis were key components in the Cubs' offseason makeover.
"I've had some injuries in my career, and I know when you sign a contract the last thing you want to do is get hurt," Cubs outfielder Cliff Floyd said. "Hopefully, it's not that bad, and we'll get him back as soon as possible."
up changes with season highs for runs and hits (14). Michael Barrett, Mark DeRosa and Floyd homered for the Cubs, who were 0-7 against San Diego last season.
Chicago responded to the line.
Dodgers 5, Diamondbacks 1
At Phoenix, Nomar Garciaparra drove in two runs with a homer and a double as Los Angeles won for the ninth time in 11 games. Brad Penny (3-0) allowed one run in seven innings.
Brewers 10. Reds 6
At Cincinnati, Bill Hall broke out of a 1-for-22 slump with his first career grand slam, a seventh-inning shot that powered Milwaukee. It was the Brewers' first slam since J.J. Hardy connected on Sept. 7, 2005, also in Cincinnati. Rickie Weeks hit a solo homer off Eric Milton (0-2) to back winner Chris Capuano (2-0).
Astros 4, Marlins 3
At Houston, Morgan Ensberg singled home the winning run with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth. Right before his big hit, Ensberg hit a foul popup down the right-field line that should have been caught. But right fielder Joe Borchard crashed into Dan Uggla, knocking the ball out of the second baseman's glove.

》 NFL SECURITY
Officials ask to reinstate pat-downs
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — The Tampa Sports Authority called pat-down searches at Tampa Bay Buccaneers games an essential layer of security in an age of terrorism and urged a federal appeals court Tuesday to reinstate them.
Tampa is the only NFL city where the pat-downs have been successfully challenged, although lawsuits have also been brought in Chicago, Seattle and San Francisco, according to attorneys in the Florida case.
Pat-downs are legal because a game ticket is a legal contract between the authority and the fan, one that can be revoked for virtually any reason, said Rick Zabak, an attorney for the sports authority, a governmental board that owns and operates Raymond James Stadium.
He also said adequate notice was
The U.S. Justice Department has sided with the sports authority.
given about the pat-downs, which the NFL instituted in 2005, and that Johnston's attendance at several games indicated his consent.
"NFL games are attractive terrorist targets," said Jonathan Cohn, a deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department's civil division. "There's no constitutional right to watch a football game live."
A message left Tuesday evening with an NFL spokesman was not immediately returned.
At least two of the three judges on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel appeared sympathetic to the searches, which are NFL policy at stadiums nationwide.
Senior Circuit Judge Peter T. Fay wondered whether terrorists had to attack a sports venue before such steps are taken.
"So there's got to be an explosion at some stadium? What would it take?" Fay asked lawyers for high school civics teacher Gordon Johnston during oral arguments.
Johnston's attorney, John Goldsmith, argued that Johnston never gave his consent for the searches and that the general threat of terrorism does not justify broad pat-downs without specific cause for concern.
"There has to be some concrete and real danger," Goldsmith said.
Circuit Judge Stanley F. Birch Jr. seemed troubled by that argument, given the changes in security at public events since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"Do you think there's a reasonable expectation of privacy any more?" Birch asked.
The judges did not indicate when they would rule.

Saint Louis basketball coach Brad Soderberg won't be on the sidelines for the Billikens next season. Soderberg was fired Tuesday after five seasons at Saint Louis despite the school's first 20-victory season since 1998.
Billikens fire head coach
Soderberg let go despite leading team to 20-win season
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUISE — Saint Louis coach Brad Soderberg was fired Tuesday after five seasons, a move tied to the school's new $80.5 million arena under construction and his failure to produce an NCAA tournament bid.
The school announced the move in a statement that said the success of the Chaifetz Arena, scheduled to open for the 2008-09 season, was contingent on a program that could contend for conference championships.
Saint Louis was 20-13 last season, Soderberg's first 20-victory season and the school's first 20-victory season since 1997-98, and finished in the middle of the pack in the Atlantic-10 Conference. But the Billikens haven't made it to the NCAA tournament since 2000.
Soderberg produced NIT bids in his first two seasons at Saint Louis, but the school did not make it to the postseason his final three seasons. He's 80-74 overall with a career record of 211-147 and was let go with two years remaining on a five-year contract he signed in November
The Billikens bottomed out with a 9-21 record in 2004-05, but rebounded with 16 victories the following season.
The school said it will begin the search for a replacement immediately. It said Soderberg was fired after an "extensive review of the state of the men's basketball program" since the end of the season. In the statement, the school said it did not "anticipate" making further comments regarding the change.
A call to Soderberg's cell phone seeking comment was not immediately returned.
The move came two days after the annual team banquet and six days after Soderberg signed a pair of recruits to national letters of intent.
Saint Louis' new arena is named for Richard Chafetz of Chicago, a 1975 graduate of the school whose $12 million donation for the arena was announced in February. Chafetz founded ComPsych Corp., a provider of employee assistance programs, in 1984.
The school said it is $7.5 million short of its fundraising goal.
Also on Tuesday, a favorable decision by the Missouri Supreme Court frees the university to use $8 million in special tax financing to develop the arena.
The arena will be the new home for the school's men and women's basketball and volleyball teams, as well as a venue for concerts, family shows, sporting events, trade shows and other events. The projected seating capacity is 10,600, which is not a huge increase from the team's average of more than 9,000 per game last season in the Scottrade Center.
Saint Louis finished its season with a 60-40 loss to George Washington in the semifinals of the Atlantic-10 tournament semifinals. The school moved to the Atlantic-10 in 2005-06.
The school will have four starters back next season, losing only senior center Ian Vouyoukas.

Grizzlies G.M. to quit in July
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jerry West left retirement and the comforts of California to see if he could transform the woeful Memphis Grizzlies. Five years later, the Lakers great decided to stop trying.
He said Tuesday he would leave as the Grizzlies' director of basketball operations July 1 at the end of his contract. Injuries, losses, weariness and uncertainty became too much.
"I'm not a youngster anymore," said West, who turns 69 next month.

Heisley brought in West in April 2002. But West never had the advantages he enjoyed in the large market of Los Angeles, where he signed Shaquille O'Neal and traded Vlade Divac for Kobe Bryant.
"We were going nowhere with the team we had. We could not continue to do what we did."

enjoy a postseason victory. This season, there were problems on several fronts: The Grizzlies not only had the worst record in the NBA but were up for sale.
West said "the wear and tear of the season, particularly like this," took a toll.
West, whose silhouette from his playing days forms the NBA logo, disclosed his plans during a 20-minute session with reporters. But his departure had been the worst kept secret in Memphis, with his contract up after this season. He put his 18-room home up for sale in February, calling that a "downsizing" move after his son left for college.
Billionaire owner Michael Heisley said Monday night the team would be off the market if a viable offer doesn't come by May 1.
West is staying through June 30 and will advise Heisley on his replacement and a new coach and in a draft that could deliver 7 foot center Greg Oden or college player of the year Kevin Durant. Then he said he would be open to working as a consultant.
"We need a big tough rebounder, and there's a kid who's a big tough rebounder in this
early days. The Grizzlies landed the No. 2 pick overall in the 2003 draft. West never got to decide between Car m e l o Anthony or Dwayne Wade becausethatpick went to Detroit to complete a 1997 trade.
"We've got some very good players," he said. "Pau Gasol is an AllStar, but we need a superstar. And if that doesn't turn the people on, then I wouldn't know what would do that."
His biggest deal? Ridding the Grizzlies of Jason Williams in a five-team trade in August 2005. His trade of Shane Battier to Houston for rookie Rudy Gay shows promise.
West lured Hubie Brown out of TV and to the bench. Brown won NBA coach of the year honors with 50 victories in 2004, the year West was honored as the league's executive of the year.
When Brown retired unexpectedly, West replaced him with
Mike Fratello. But the Grizzlies were swept out of the playoffs in 2004, 2005 and 2006. They started a youth movement to rebuild and save money.
West fired Fratello in December and replaced him with Tony Barone Sr. after the worst start in the NBA. It didn't help. The Grizzlies, 21-60 entering Wednesday night's finale at Minnesota, clinched the worst record in the league last week and their poorest victory total under West.
Not easy for someone who never handled losing well, whether as a two-time All-American at West Virginia or player, executive or general manager for the Lakers, where he won a combined eight titles.
"We're probably better off where we are, even though it was painful for everyone and our fans, walking out of here some nights when we were just horrendous," West said. "It was painful for everyone to watch that."
West said he thought Heisley needed two people to replace him: a general manager and a vice president of basketball operations. As for the next coach, West wouldn't name names, but a possibility could be Phoenix assistant Marc Iavaroni.
In any case, West said the next coach needed to know the franchise must work to build a team for years, not make the playoffs one season, then have the league's worst record the next.
"We were going nowhere with the team we had," West said. "We could not continue to do what we did."
In the end, neither could he.

BIG 12 BASKETBALL COMMENTARY
Bennett never had fair shot
BY JEFFREY RAKE
KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN
MANHATTAN — Shed a tear for Jason Bennett, because it's probably only a matter of time before he's as good as gone.
Bennett, as you might already know, is considering transferring to another school, perhaps somewhere closer to his native Jacksonville, Fla. After a disappointing season, a year in which he scored just 1.9 points and collected only 2.6 rebounds per game, Bennett's legacy will not be a memorable one.
Instead, he'll end up being the answer to a trivia question or the punch line of a crummy joke. And that's too bad, because Bennett was set up for failure at K-State and wasn't given a fair chance.
It had been years since K-State landed a player of Bennett's caller when he signed last spring. People couldn't wait to see him showcase his five-star talents. He was a guy many experts considered a top-30 prospect.
Only Bennett wasn't what people expected. He couldn't score, couldn't defend the low post and
couldn't keep his temper. In fact, he could do much of anything.
At one point last year, I remember comparing him to a Furby, one of those interactive toys from the late '90s. It's kind of a stretch — a 7-foot-3 athlete and a six-inch talking toy — yet it's a fair comparison.
You see, Furby was the holiday hit, a toy that could eat and talk and play games. There was nothing Furby couldn't do. Or at least that's what the advertisements made you believe.
But when Furby was removed from its package, its flaws were painfully obvious. Furby had a small vocabulary; it could not dance. It played a poor game of hide-and-seek and did not have a strong grasp of the English language.
Furby, much like Bennett, was perceived to be a total flop. Most people became so impatient with Furby they decided to put it in the microwave, the electric chair for electronic toys.
However, once many people gave up on Furby, the success stories started popping up all over the Internet. Turns out, Furby can be trained to do many of the things
it was advertised to do. Furby can repeat familiar words,can learn names and tell iokes.
The moral here is that Furby just needed some time and patience.
That brings us back to Bennett. He got off to a tough start at K-State. Fans expected him to put up a double-double every night, and that simply wasn't going to happen. He needed a chance to develop.
Realistic fans knew what the plan was all along. Former coach Bob Huggins wanted to tear Bennett down before he could build him back up. He wanted to put him through the grinder, question his toughness, see how hed respond. Ask his teammates, and they'll tell you he showed up to practice each day with a willingness to learn and get better. That's what a freshman season is all about.
If the end of Bennett's time at K-State truly is winding down, I wish him the best. Heck, I'll even miss the guy. Hopefully he will find a school that's a better fit for him, and with any luck, he can avoid unreasonable expectations and unnecessary pressure. And the microwave, too.

San Antonio Spurs forward Tim Duncan, back left, looks toward the court after a technical foul was called against him as he sat on the bench during the second half of a basketball game against the Dallas Mavericks in Dallas on Sunday. Spurs guard Michael Finley argued the call with official Joe Crawford (17).
League suspends referee
Crawford reprimanded after ejecting, provoking Duncan
BY BRIAN MAHONEY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Crawford's suspension will last
NEW YORK — NBA referee Joey Crawford was suspended indefinitely by commissioner David Stern on Tuesday for his conduct toward Tim Duncan, who contends the official challenged him to a fight.
Crawford, who has worked more playoff games than any active reef, ejected Duncan from a game in Dallas on Sunday. He called a second technical foul on the San Antonio Spurs star while he was on the bench.
"He looked at me and said, 'Do you want to fight? Do you want to fight?' Duncan said. "If he wants to fight, we can fight. I don't have any problem with him, but we can do it if he wants to. I have no reason why in the middle of a game he would yell at me. 'Do you want to fight?' "
at least through the NBA finals. He may will have to meet with Stern after that to discuss reinstatement.
NBA spokesman Tim Frank said the league hadn't ruled out any penalties against Duncan. The Spurs said they did not yet have a comment.
Stern said Crawford's actions "failed to meet the standards of professionalism and game management we expect of NBA referees."
"Especially in light of similar prior acts by this official, a significant suspension is warranted," Stern said in a statement. "Although Joey is consistently rated as one of our top referees, he must be held accountable for his actions on the floor, and we will have further discussions with him following the season to be sure he understands his responsibilities."
Crawford comes from an officiating family. His brother, Jerry, is a major league umpire, as was his father, Shag.
Crawford is in his 29th season as an NBA referee. He has officiated more than 2,000 games during the regular season and 252 in the playoffs, including 36 in the NBA finals.
But his temper has got him noticed before, especially in Game 2 of the 2003 Western Conference finals, a match involving the same teams as in Sunday's game. Crawford called four technical fouls in the first 10-plus minutes, leading to ejections of then-Mavs coach Don Nelson and assistant Del Harris.
Duncan said Sunday that Crawford has a "personal vendetta against me."
Speaking to a pool reporter before Duncan spoke, Crawford was asked about Duncan thinking he had done nothing to warrant the ejection.
"That's his opinion," said Crawford, adding that Duncan referred to him with an expletive. "Is that nothing?"

Local roaster uses coffee to support growers, get closer to God
STORY BY NATHAN GILL • PHOTOS BY AMANDA SELLERS
Tom Wheat scoops and bags fragrant coffee beans from a cooling vat as the temperature gauge on the antique gas fired roaster hits 400 degrees and the beans inside crackle and snap like popcorn.
Wheat, 58, a KU graduate, has no time to stop and smell the coffee as he toils over a hot roaster in a friend's Lawrence garage. He has more beans to roast and deliveries to make. His business is the antithesis of corporate coffee — part religious mission, part environmental cause, part Christian concern for poor coffee farmers, and ultimately a reliable source of high quality, shade grown, fresh roasted coffee he personally buys in Venezuela, imports and roasts, then delivers to Lawrence coffee houses and other outlets.

Kansas Relays rich in history
2007 marks event's 80th anniversary
BY KYLE CARTER
The Kansas Relays opened Wednesday at Memorial Stadium with events from the heptathlon to decathlon, marking the 80th anniversary of the relays.
During the eight decades of competition, the relays has featured some of the finest athletes in the world. Olympian Glenn Cunningham competed for Kansas in the mile run, which is now named after him. In the 1960s, Jim Ryun represented the Jayhawks in the mile, winning four titles in that event. More recently, Kansas' Charlie Gruber won three titles at the relays and later went on
to compete in the 2004 Olympics. Basketball star Wilt Chamberlain even competed at the relays, finishing third in the triple jump in 1956 and second in the high jump the following year.
Candace Dunback, curator of the Booth Family Hall of Athletics, first competed at the relays in 1995 as a high school senior from Nevada. Mo., while being recruited by Kansas. Though she hadn't told the coaches yet, Dunback said she had already decided she wanted to be a lavihawk.

City grants money for fire sprinklers
Light Massachusetts Street buildings will receive grants from the city this year to pay for fire sprinkler systems.
However, nearly 75 percent of the commercial buildings downtown will still lack sprinklers.
The / $250,000 downtown fire sprinkler incentive program will reimburse the selected businesses for up to 75 percent of the cost of a sprinkler system. Each system
could cost downtown buildings from $30,000 to $50,000. Five more businesses could receive help if any money is left over. The city received applications for 35 buildings.
Kevin Doyle, city infrastructure and development coordinator, said about 170 of the 202 downtown commercial buildings lacked sprinkler systems or needed upgrades. He said he had expected fewer than half of them to apply for the program.

Pregnant coyote takes officials on foot chase
DETROIT — A cagey urban coyote that eluded authorities in a nearly hour-long foot chase through downtown Detroit is expecting.
An animal rehabilitator licensed by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources discovered the pregnancy while running medical tests, the Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday.
The female coyote led two animal protection officials and Detroit police on a chase past a federal courthouse and beneath parked cars before heading toward the Detroit River.

WHO WAS YOUR HERO WHEN YOU WERE GROWING UP? I admired Henry Clay because he was an interesting statesman and he had the interest of the nation at heart.
WHY SHOULD STUDENTS BE INTERESTED IN POLITICS? You cannot be a good citizen if you are not knowledgeable about politics.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST. ABOUT THE LAWRENCE COM-MUNITY? I like how the community is culturally active, diverse and lively. I appreciate how squabbles on issues show people at least care about the community they live in and are taking an interest.

Scientist lives underwater to promote sustainability
SYDNEY, Australia — An Australian scientist emerged Wednesday after spending nearly two weeks underwater in a steel box, pedaling a stationary bicycle to generate his own electricity and growing algae to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen.
Marine biologist Lloyd Godson was at the bottom of a lake in the bright yellow capsule to make a point about sustainable living.
Godson used solar panels and a pedal-powered generator to create electricity and recharge his laptop, and kept an algae garden to absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen for breathing.
Godson had to recycle his own urine and waste, but a team of divers delivered food and drinking water to the submárine.

Dunback cleared 5-7 in the high jump that evening and won the event.
At Kansas, she went on to compete in the heptathlon, although for two of her years at the University, the relays were canceled while a press box was being built at the stadium.
Former meet director Tim Weaver named the event after her.
Many other former athletes also still have ties to the meet. Former middle-distance runner Steve Heffernan competed for
the Jayhawks from 1987 to 1990 and now coaches at Lawrence Free State, which will compete in the high school portion of the relays.
"The shoe came off halfway at first and he tried to run with it, but that wasn't working so he just kicked it off."
Heffernan said his fondest memory from his time competing in the meet was the 4x800 relay his junior year in 1989. He said the team knew it had a chance to win before the race, but doubts arose during the second leg of the race when the Kansas runner lost his shoe with a lap to go.
"The shoe came off halfway at first and he tried to run with it, but that wasn't working so he just kicked it off," Heffernan said. "He always wore tube socks so he had about eight inches of sock flopping around."

However, Smith said that last month during county-sponsored severe weather classes only about 30 percent of those surveyed had an emergency kit with food, water, a flashlight and other items for emergency situations.
"It's not just Douglas County," she said. "We're all looking back and looking for improvements and training we can provide."
Smith said emergency management coordinators of neighboring counties often depend on each other for help in a disaster.
"We are family in a lot of ways in emergency management," she said.
The coordinators, who were from Johnson, Douglas, Shawnee, Franklin and Wyandotte counties, also talked about their experiences in emergency situations, which included blizzards, floods and tornadoes.
The discussion was the final meet

The sessions were led by Scott Morris, 1992 University of Kansas graduate and Dole Institute of Politics Republican fellow this semester.

Morris, who flew from Florida every Wednesday for the study group, said he wanted to show the "big picture" of emergency management to the public.

>> ABORTION LEGISLATION
Conservatives ban procedure
Majority votes 5-4 in landmark victory
BY MARK SHERMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court's new conservative majority gave anti-abortion forces a landmark victory Wednesday in a 5-4 decision that bans a controversial abortion procedure nationwide and sets the stage for further restrictions.
For the first time since the court established a woman's right to an abortion in 1973, the justices said the Constitution permits a nationwide prohibition on a specific abortion method. The court's liberal justices, in dissent, said the ruling chipped away at abortion rights.
It was a long-awaited and resounding win that abortion opponents had hoped to gain from a court pushed to the right by President Bush's appointees.
The 5-4 decision written by Justice Anthony Kennedy said the
Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act that Congress passed and Bush signed into law in 2003 does not violate a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.
Siding with Kennedy were Bush's two appointees, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, along with Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.
The law is constitutional despite not containing an exception that would allow the procedure if needed to preserve a woman's health, Kennedy said.
In dissent, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said the ruling "cannot be understood as anything other than an effort to chip away at a right declared again and again by this court."
Doctors who violate the law could face up to two years in federal prison. The law has not taken effect, pending the outcome of the legal fight.
Dr. LeRoy Carhart, the Bellevue, Neb., doctor who challenged the federal ban, said, "I am afraid the Supreme Court has just opened the door to an all-out assault on" the 1973 ruling in Roe Wade.
SPRINKLERS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"There were a lot of businesses that have talked about how tight things are economically," Doyle said. "Their 25 percent portion is still a sizable investment."
Bob Schumm, owner of Buffalo Bob's Smokehouse, 719 Massachusetts St., said it would cost about $50,000 to install a sprinkler system in his building — more than he could afford to pay without help.
Buffalo Bob's was one of the eight businesses selected for the program.
He said the fryers and smokers his restaurant used put the building at serious risk of a fire. One fire
at Buffalo Bob's in 1980 destroyed much of the building's second floor, and an earlier fire burned up a back room where meat was smoked.
Schumm said he was concerned about fires in both his business and the rest of the downtown area.
"The real problem is if we have a single fire get out of control through wind or through poorly constructed buildings that are way behind on code," he said.
Mark Bradford, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical chief, said most downtown buildings were very old and lacked interior separation walls
that could stop the flow of a fire.
Also, the closeness of the businesses essentially creates huge buildings, each one a block in length.
"There's a lot of ability for a fire to spread from building to another without much resistance," Bradford said.
Doyle said this year's sprinkler program would contribute to downtown fire safety significantly because three of the buildings selected had large assembly spaces that would be especially dangerous in case of a large fire. Those three buildings are Buffalo Bob's, Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St.;
and the Masonic Temple building, 1001 Massachusetts St., which currently does not have a tenant.
The other businesses selected to receive the incentive were Hobbs, 700 Massachusetts St.; Silverworks, 715 Massachusetts St.; Goldmakers, 723 Massachusetts St.; The Bay Leaf, 725 Massachusetts St.; and The Casbah, 803 Massachusetts St.

COFFEE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Though Wheat runs a business, he says he's not trying to make money for himself and that he's on a mission from God.
The mission
Wheat founded New Mission, Inc., a Lawrence-based non-profit company with one employee, himself, after visiting Venezuela on a mission trip in 1992. The Lawrence Lions Club and Trinity Episcopal Church sponsored the trip with the goal of giving used eyeglasses to the poor and the church ordained Wheat a missionary before he left Lawrence. He left with one mission and returned with an entirely new one that included coffee and Christ.
"Our whole point is that we help the people who do the work so that they can eat for 12 months of the year," Wheat said.
The new mission began when a Venezuelan bishop he met took him to Teresen, a village in Venezuela, to visit its small Christian community. Wheat ate dinner with a local family who sat guests, including the bishop, at one table and reserved another for the family. The family sat Wheat at their table.
"It was as if they were reserving a place for some person and I happened to be there." Wheat said.
A few days later the bishop took Wheat to a run-down coffee plantation nearby and asked him to find a way to make money from the land for the community. Wheat said yes.
"I'm obligated to fulfill my promise," Wheat said. "I will or I will die, whichever happens first."
It's been 15 years and about 20 trips to Venezuela since Wheat made his promise.
The growers
About 2,800 miles separate Wheat from the people he buys his beans from, but that hasn't stopped him from forming a personal connection with them.
"I'm their family, and they're my family." Wheat said.
Richard Bean, a friend who visited Wheat in Venezuela in 2004, attested to Wheat's personal relationship with his growers.
people I've ever been around." Bean said. "They treat him as one of their own."
"They're some of the sweetest
Bean, who has known Wheat for about 10 years, got the chance to see what life was like for the coffee farmers. "I realized how much hand labor picking coffee is," he said.
Wheat agreed. "Many of the people who do the coffee work live right among the crops," he said. "They often live in houses made of sticks and mud with a tin roof."
Although most of the people of Teresen have access to basic education, clean water and some medical care, he said a family's furniture might include a few chairs with rebar frames and woven plastic seats and that only a few people owned cars, mostly battered American vehicles from the 1970s or 1980s. He said a farm family's primary tools were their hands.
Andrew Roberts, shift manager at The Community Mercantile, which sells Wheat's coffee, visited Teresen in 1997 and toured a building where farmers stored and packaged coffee beans. The technology used was not state-of-the-art, although "I'm pretty sure they had electricity," recalled Roberts, 24, a KU alumnus in environmental studies who had Wheat as his youth counselor at Trinity Episcopal Church.
Wheat said that the people of Teresen did not consider themselves impoverished because they shared what they had. He said that if a mango tree dropped its fruit the tree's owner would gather the fruit and share it with neighbors.
"I saw very generous and kind and loving people meeting the needs of the neediest in very simple means," Wheat said of the people in Teresen. "They were living like they did in the Book of Acts. They were living like people talk on Sunday mornings."
The teacher
Wheat learned to roast coffee from a master roaster in Teresen named Luisa Alfaro, whom he met through a priest. He said Alfaro was a legendary roaster whose primitive equipment included firewood, a black pot propped up with rocks and a keen, almost magical knowledge of coffee.

"She watches and smells and listens." Wheat said about Alfaro's roasting techniques.
The Merc's Roberts said he was amazed when he first tasted fresh coffee that Alfaro had brewed. He said Alfaro's brewing method was not like getting up and making a cup of Folgers, but was more like a ritual.
"I think guru has a certain connotation to it, but that wouldn't be far from the truth," Roberts said about Alfaro. "She probably has some shamanistic medicine tricks she could do."

Wheat said, "She has a little garden and she roasts some coffee. She sometimes chastises or encourages her grandchildren or neighbors. She prays for people and sits on the porch and bids you good day when you go past."
John Bowden, who owns the roaster and garage used by Wheat, said roasting was more a science than an art.
Tom *Wheat* turns and sorts coffee beans in his cooling vat, checking a batch for damaged or burned beans. Wheat will weigh, bag and label his beans before delivering them to local coffeehouses and stores. This is the end of a long process that began more than 2,800 miles away in Teresengua. Venezuela.
"There's a lot involved," Bowden said. "Time is a factor, as well as the size of the beans, the moisture content of the air, the roast time, the flame temperature..."
The roaster
Bowden lets Wheat use his 1895 Royal No. 5 coffee roaster in exchange for fresh coffee and money to buy the natural gas that fuels the roaster.

"They probably want that roaster back," said Bowden, former owner of Cafe Nova at 745 New Hampshire St., now the location of Mirth Cafe. "It's rare, it's collectable, and they sold it to me too cheap."
Wheat lives in Iola, where he cares for his elderly mother, and drives his late father's 1995 Buick LeSabre to Lawrence three times a week to roast, package and distribute coffee to buyers.
Bowden, who is now out of the coffee business, said Wheat roasted about 300 pounds of coffee per week.

Bowden bought the roaster, similar to ones used to roast peanuts at county fairs, about 15 years ago from a coffee company in Louisville, Ky.
Wheat sells three varieties of coffee beans: Corozal Estate, Caripe and Black Mountain. He said the varieties derived from the same genetic strain, Arabica borbon, and that the beans were not blended or mixed with other coffee crops. Wheat said that the distinct flavor of each variety came from the three different climate conditions in which they were grown.
The coffee beans grow on a mountain ridge near Teresen in northeastern Venezuela near the Atlantic coast. Wheat said Corozal was cultivated on the seaward side of the
ridge, Black Mountain on the landward side and Caripe on the ridge's summit. He said that each part of the ridge had a unique climate, and that subtle differences in sunlight, precipitation and soil type contributed to each crop's distinct flavor.
"Soil is alive," Wheat said. "It's part of a community of things that live together."
He said every morning warm, moist Atlantic air ascended the ridge and condensed into fog over the Caripe plants. "That top-dresses the plants with seawater mineral salts that then influence the flavor." Wheat explained.
Katy Wade, a senior in Latin American studies and barista at Mirth Cafe, which serves Wheat's coffee, said Caripe, a light-coat fruit, had a fruity, citrus flavor.
Wade said she liked that Wheat's coffee was shade grown under jungle canopy. She said coffee grown in a cleared forest required fertilizers and that direct sunlight was bad for a coffee's flavor.
"You can never go wrong with a light roast and you should only buy shade grown." Wade said.

The need
Greg Renck, Mirth manager, said the cate bought all its coffee, except decaf, from Wheat. He appreciates Wheat's personal involvement with the coffee. "He sees it from when it
Wheat said his wholesale price for coffee was about $7 to $8 a pound. He said that by the time a pound of coffee was roasted, it had already cost him more than $4 to buy, import and package. At $7 a pound, the New Mission gets less than $3 in profits.
"Any less than that, someone is not being paid for their work," said Wheat, who supports himself by working as a carpenter and audio technician. "I'm not getting paid for my work."
Money doesn't mean much to Wheat, who said Christian standards like balance and equality were part of New Mission's business model. He is following his Christian ideals by converting good coffee into a living wage for the Venezuelan farmers who grow it.
"These are people who need to eat and they grow great coffee," Wheat said.
But Wheat doesn't think of them as poor, as he explained in Spanish: "Si hay dignidad, no hay pobreza," which translates: If there is dignity, there is no poverty.

Entrepreneurship courses prove popular
BY ELIZABETH CATTELL
Augusta graduate student Christina Spires is a CEO at age 25. She and three other students run Abacus LLC, a model business for data retrieval software.
They are enrolled in a new venture creation course, which teaches students how to develop a business plan and market products created by University of Kansas faculty.
This course is one of many new initiatives in entrepreneurship education at the University of Kansas that may give students, and the Kansas economy, a boost in the business world.
- Entrepreneurship education has grown considerably at KU in the past year.
The School of Business recently added graduate and undergraduate degree programs in entrepreneurship.This addition placed the University in the top 50 business schools in the nation.
Wallace Meyer, director of the entrepreneurship programs, said there was significant student demand for entrepreneurial courses. After just three semesters, the Introduction to Entrepreneurship class has 116 students, making it the largest elective offered in the School of Business.
Spires, a 2002 KU graduate, said she wished the school offered entrepreneurship courses when she was an undergraduate.
"If I went to work for a company, I would be able to assist with a business plan or do research for a new product," Spires said. "These programs will give undergraduates an edge going into the workplace."
But that edge could help more than students' careers. If Spires and her team do well, their business will go public, adding one more venture to the Kansas economy.
Meyer said commercializing products is a primary goal of the program.
"Entrepreneurship education directly addresses startup companies and growth of small firms," Meyer said. "It better prepares anyone who attends KU to be able to participate in startups and small businesses and thereby contributes directly to the economic growth of "Lawrence, Douglas County and the state of Kansas"
Caleb Asher.
Asher said encouraging entrepreneurship education has been a goal of the state since the Kansas Economic Growth Act was enacted in 2004.
"Entrepreneurship education directly addresses startup companies and growth of small firms."
director of communications and marketing for the Kansas Department of Commerce, said educating students in entrepreneurial skills has a large impact on the Kansas economy.
Asher said many students think they can't be successful as entrepreneurs if they stay in Kansas after graduation.
"We call it 'brain drain'. Not only do students not go back to their hometown, they don't even stay in the state," Asher said. "We need those students right out of college to find that there is a place for them here."
Justin McAuley. Houston senior and minor in entrepreneurship, said he thought there was more opportunity for business on the coast.
The act addressed economic needs of the state identified by business leaders and economic developers.
WALLACE MEYER Entrepreneurship director
The act also established the Kansas Center for Entrepreneurship to help connect entrepreneurs to available
resources in Kansas, Director Steve Radley said the center supplies entrepreneurs with three basic tools: economic resources, expertise and education.
Radley said entrepreneurship education is important at a
collegiate level, because it encourages students to think with innovation and adapt.
"Entrepreneurship is job creation. It's the key to our competitiveness in the global market," Radley said. "I think entrepreneurship offers opportunities for people who want to stay in Kansas."
Meyer said he is working to open a similar center at the University, allowing students and faculty to connect with local resources.
The USSmall Business Association says small businesses and ventures represent more than 99.7 percent of all U.S employers.
a small business, Meyer said entrepreneurship education should matter to all students.
The Kansas Economic Growth Act also addressed the importance of expanding entrepreneurship outreach beyond citizens already involved in business.
The Kansas Technology Enterprise Corporation started.KTEC Pipeline Innovators, a program to mentor budding entrepreneurs in Kansas who come don't come from business backgrounds.
One of the creators is Lisa Friis, professor of mechanical engineering. She said students of all majors can use entrepreneurial skills to develop their ideas.
Fiiis is currently working with Meyer to begin a new product development course for engineering, business and industrial design students. The course would allow students from the three departments to collaborate their skills.
Frisis said that developing entrepreneurship education programs at KU would encourage students to pursue business ventures and ultimately contribute to the state economy.
"We have a responsibility to serve our constituents, not just in education and research for students here, but I also believe we have a role in economic development," Fries said. "I think we're doing our state and the region a disservice if we don't promote that."

ART
Local stores help Lawrence artists Selling on consignment benefits both
BY JESSICA SAIN-BAIRD
Your neighbor may be making a business out of his photography, paintings and handmade jewelry and you don't even know it.
The buying and selling of handiwork, notably at consignment, has become a growing trend in Lawrence.
"We're able to carry a lot more work by more artists," said Maria Martin, owner of Southwest and More, 727 Massachusetts St. "It allows us to try new styles."
Consignment work in stores is featured for free. The artist, sometimes with the aid of store owners, decides on the selling price. About 15 percent of Southwest and More's work is on consignment, mostly paintings, pottery and other fine art pieces by more than 40 artists, Martin said. Her store's policy is to give 70 percent of the item's selling price to the artist.
The Third Planet, 846 Massachusetts St., sells consignment items to keep money in Lawrence and not have to put capital in some merchandise, said manager Melissa Padeet.
They sell jewelry, artwork, T-shirts and stickers on consignment, she said, and added that locally printed T-shirts became popular during election seasons.
About 10 to 15 percent of the Third Planet's products are on consignment and they give 60 percent of an item's selling price to the artist, Padgett said. She said consignment
has been profitable for the store.
Alina Scalora, Manhattan sophomore, sells hemp necklaces at the Third Planet when she has time. She's sold a few so far, but expects business to increase in the summer, she said.
Some stores opt to buy handmade items outright rather than carry pieces on consignment. MissFortune's Creation Station, 726 Massachusetts St, buys and sells handmade glass pieces, jewelry and clothing items, said owner Jennifer Fortune.
About 15 percent of their products are handmade,which contribute to 20 percent of the store's overall profits. Fortune said.
Southwest and More employee and Lawrence freshman Bridget Lavaveshkul said featuring items on consignment was beneficial to a business, because they never lost money if a featured item didn't sell.
She said consignment work was difficult because of the paperwork and keeping in contact with artists.
None of the stores are concerned about consignment and the business of handiwork losing steam. Martin said she thought one-of-a-kind products would always be in demand.
Consignment and buying handmade work outright is a benefit to both businesses and artists, Martin said.

KANSAS LEGISLATURE

State universities to receive funding for repairs
BY CARL MANNING ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — The House Appropriations Committee announced a plan Wednesday to provide $152 million in the next budget year to deal with long-needed repairs at state universities, one day after Gov. Kathleen Sebelius asked lawmakers to spend nearly $63 million for such projects.
While most of the funding would come from state revenue, the plan calls for the six state universities and the communities where they are located to come up with some of the funds.
The proposal includes such things as freeing up $15 million annually by repaying 1996 "Crumbling Classroom" bonds; allowing counties with state universities to impose a 0.10 cent sales tax for repairs;
and repaying $20 million in Regents Research Bonds and shifting $10 million from that to deferred maintenance.
The House plan also would provide $300 million in low-interest revolving loans for schools; require universities to retire old or obsolete buildings; and identify funding for future maintenance projects and operations of new buildings built with nonstate funds.
Also, the regents would receive the interest earned on tuition and student fees to pay for maintenance. The Regents Deferred Maintenance Oversight Board would be created to help keep tabs on the repair projects.
"I am very,pleased we have developed a long-term solution that doesn't rely on one source of funding and will ensure our universities and community colleges are able
to provide safe learning environments for Kansas students," said Chairwoman Rep. Sharon Schwartz (R-Washington).
She also said the oversight board will "make sure Kansas tax dollars are used wisely."
House members will consider the plan when lawmakers return April 25 from their annual break.
The Senate Ways and Means Committee has not released its maintenance proposal, but expects to do so in coming days. Any proposal likely will be worked out by House and Senate negotiators.
Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran said the governor's office had not received a copy of the proposal. She noted, however, that some parts of the House plan are similar to what Sebelius proposed, including freeing up Crumbling Classrooms money, revolving loans and funding
sources for maintenance of buildings constructed with nonstate dollars.
Regents Chairman Nelson Galle, who met Wednesday with House Republicans, called the plan "a serious proposal" to address the projects. The regents have identified a backlog of $663 million worth of projects.
"While this proposal certainly represents an impressive and positive step forward, it does not provide an ultimate solution," Galle said.
He said the regents would continue to work with legislators to find a comprehensive funding proposal.
Sebelius proposed spending nearly $63 million next year on university repairs, using existing revenue
Earlier this year, Sebellus outlined a plan for providing $575 million to universities over six years, but the idea was a nonstarter among most legislators.

>> SUSPICIOUS DEATH
Volunteer found in river bed
Julia Campbell, 40, dies on hike; police suspect foul play
BY OLIVER TEVES ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANILA, Philippines — The last entry in Peace Corps volunteer Julia Campbell's Internet blog said she was "buhay pa," a Filipino phrase for "still alive."
The Jan. 13 posting, which detailed her experiences surviving a typhoon, explained that she had adopted the phrase soon after arriving in the country two years ago, calling it the most familiar response when Filipinos are asked how they are doing.
Family and friends were hoping for a similar message from her after she disappeared April 8 while on a trip to see the famed mountainside rice terraces of Banaue, in a remote part of Ifugao province.
But on Wednesday, soldiers found Campbell's body buried in a shallow
grave in a dry river bed in the area of the northern Philippines where she was hiked by herself. Police said they believed foul play was involved.
Campbell's family has said the daughter of a former U.S. Marine captain was an "alert and careful traveler" who would not easily be duped by people with "malevolent intent."
"She knows how to look out for herself, Julia Campbell is not an easy target," the family said in a profile they put together during the 10-day search for her.
In Washington, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the U.S. did not have any information on what happened to her.
"We're working very well with the Philippine authorities. They're taking this case quite seriously. And we are going to work with them until we are able to get to the bottom of this
and get all of those answers for Julia's family," he said.
Senior Superintendent Pedro Ganir, Ifugao's provincial police chief, told The Associated Press that a stray dog had dug out one of Campbell's feet by the time soldiers discovered the body, which was covered with dirt in the creek.
A pair of reading glasses and a sandal were found nearby, he said.
Ganir said Campbell was last seen buying a soda at a store in the town of Batad. She had bought a bus ticket to return to Manila by April 9, indicating she did not plan to extend her stay or embark on a long hike, he said.
A former long-distance runner from Fairfax, Va., Campbell, 40, had worked as freelance journalist for The New York Times, Fox.com, CourtTV.com, People magazine and Star magazine.

U.S., Israel try to halt Iran arms program
BY LOLITA C. BALDOR ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEL AVIV, Israel — Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Wednesday that diplomatic efforts to resolve the standoff with Iran over its nuclear program are working and should get a chance to succeed.

Both the U.S. and Israel accuse

The United States and its allies have led
Both the U. Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons, which Tehran denies. Gates said many nations are "united in telling Iran what it needs to do with respect to its nuclear program."
RHS words appeared aimed at diffusing suggestions in Israel and the U.S. that the Pentagon is moving toward a strike against Iran.
At the same time, Gates confirmed the U.S. commitment to Israel.
"I think the fact that I have come here in the end of my fourth month as secretary illustrates the importance
"We agreed it was important to deal with the Iranian nuclear problem through diplomacy, which appears to be working."

"We agreed it was important to deal with the Iranian nuclear problem through diplomacy, which appears to be working." Gates said at a news conference with Defense Minister Amir Peretz.
"These things don't work overnight, but it seems to me clearly the preferable course to keep our focus on the diplomatic initiatives, and particularly because of the united front of the international commu-

Discussing Iraq, Gates decried the attacks Wednesday in Baghdad that killed more than 170 people. The violence, he said, is "horrifying"
and he blamed al-Qaida.
He said the attackers were trying to show that the U.S. security plan for Baghdad was failing, "These terrorists are killing innocent men, women and children who are Iraqis. They're killing their countrymen," Gates said.
Gates, on his third trip to the region as defense secretary, reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to Iraq and to protecting allies in the area. In Washington, the Democratic-controlled Congress and the administration are nearing a showdown about bringing an end to the war.

》 ANNA NICOLE PATERNITY CASE
Stern not fighting for baby
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Larry Birkhead has only kind words to say about Howard K. Stern, his former adversary in the Anna Nicole Smith paternity case.
"People blame him a lot, but Anna had her own mind too." Birkhead, the father of Smith's baby daughter, tells OK! magazine. "She had a choice and we were arguing and that what happens. I'm thankful that everyone can get along for Dannielynn. How could you not?"
Birkhead, 34, a Los Angeles photographer and ex-boyfriend of the late Playboy Playmate, had feuded with Stern, her longtime lawyer-companion, over the paternity of now 7-month-old Dannielynn. A court in the Bahamas ruled last week that DNA tests proved Birkhead is the father. Stern said he would not fight to retain custody of the baby.
Father and daughter are featured on the cover and inside the magazine's latest issue, on newstands Friday. A representative for OK! — which pays for its exclusive interviews — wouldn't disclose the terms of its deal with Birkhead to The Associated Press.
The magazine also has photos of Birkhead and Dannielynn.
Stern has been helpful, Birkhead said. "It seems unlikely, but he's been a great help. He's been with Dannielynn the last several months. He knows her likes and dislikes and things that could help me. He gives me credit when I'm doing good things and gives me tips on things I should do a little different."
Birkhead said Stern, who was listed on the birth certificate as Dannielynn's father, invited him to meet the baby about a month ago.
Dannielynn has been living in an oceanfront home in the Bahamas with Stern.
Birkhead isn't as generous with his comments on Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, who is seeking visitation rights.
"It's puzzling for her to display affection to me and then for the attorneys to say she's going for custody and Larry was just a sperm donor and a one-night stand," he said.
"Then they all come and shake my hand. You've gotta scratch your head and say, 'What's going on here?'
"I'm willing to listen to see what people want, but that doesn't mean I'm going to agree," he said. "I hope I don't have to fight for the baby."
Smith gave birth to Dannielynn in September in a Bahamas hospital, days before her 20-year-old son, Daniel, died from a lethal combination of drugs at her bedside. Smith died in Florida in February at 39, also from a lethal combination of drugs.
Is Dannielynn healthy?
"The doctors say she's fine and has met all of her developmental milestones," Birkhead said. "She's a really curious, alert baby."

Kitty Carlisle Hart star of opera, film passed away at 96 from pneumonia
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY ULA ILNYTZKY ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - Kitty Carlisle Hart, whose long career spanned Broadway, opera, television and film, including the classic Marx Brothers movie "A Night at the Opera," has died at age 96, her son said Wednesday.
Christopher Hart said his mother had been in and out of the hospital since contracting pneumonia.
"She passed away peacefully" Tuesday night at her Manhattan apartment, said Hart, who was at her side when she died. "She had such a wonderful life, and a great long run, it was a blessing."
She had been touring around the country in her one-woman show "Here's to Life" until getting sick.
Lewis said when he once asked her "why she would attend events every single night of her life, and dress up and be the grand dame Kitty Carlisle Hart, she said that the grim reaper was lapping at her feet. She had to outpace him."
David Lewis, her longtime musical director, said: "The show was about everyone she had known: Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and her wonderful relationship with her husband, Moss Hart."
A December appearance in Atlanta was her last, her son said.
Hart had appeared for years on the popular game show "To Tell the Truth" as a celebrity panelist.
The entertainer was also an advocate for the arts, serving 20 years on the New York State Council on the Arts. In 1991, she received the National Medal of Arts from the first President Bush.
Well known for her starring role as Rosa Castaldi in the 1935 movie "A Night at the Opera," her other film credits included: "She Loves Me Not" and "Here Is My Heart," both opposite Bing Crosby; Woody Allen's "Radio Days"; and "Six Degrees of Separation."
She began her acting career on Broadway in "Champagne Sec," and went on to appear in many other Broadway productions, including the 1984 revival of "On Your Toes."
She made her operatic debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1967 in "Die Fledermaus," and created the role of Lucretia in the American premiere of Benjamin Britten's "Rape of Lucretia."
From 1956 to 1967, she appeared on the CBS prime-time game show "To Tell the Truth" with host Bud Collyer and fellow panelists such as Polly Bergen, Johnny Carson, Bill Cullen and Don Ameche. The show featured three contestants, all claiming to be the same person. The panelists asked them questions to determine which was telling the truth. (The popular show also had runs, sometimes including Carlisle, in daytime and in syndicated versions.)
Hart's late husband was a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright who wrote
"You Can't Take It With You" and "The Man Who Came to Dinner" with George S. Kaufman and won a Tony for directing "My Fair Lady" on Broadway.
Carlisle's film career began in 1934; in "Murder at the Vanities," she sings "Cocktails for Two," a song later made famous in a spoof version by Spike Jones.
"A Night at the Opera" the following year was the Marx Brothers' sixth film and their first for MGM, where they shifted after their career at Paramount sagged at the box office. MGM's Irving Thalberg added more romance to the Marxes' formula, bringing in Carlisle and Allan Jones to play the young opera singers in love, and the film became a huge hit.
Elegant and sophisticated then, and now — with hair, makeup and dress perfectly in place — Hart has been called a "great dame."
In a piece on CBS "60 Minutes" in 2000, Marie Brenner, author of "Great Dames: What I Learned From Older Women," said: "A great dame is a soldier in high heels. ... They lived through the Depression. They lived through the war.
"They were tough, intelligent and brassy women," said Brenner, who described Hart as a great dame.

Such cases against celebrities — often filed by publicity seekers — are common in conservative India. They add to a backlog of legal cases in the country that has nearly crippled the judicial system.

The complaints filed Tuesday came a day after angry crowds in several Indian cities burned effigies of Gere after he wrapped Shetty in his arms and kissed her several times on her cheeks during an AIDS awareness event in the Indian capital.

>> VIRGINIA TECH SHOOTING
Simon Cowell says reaction misinterpreted
BY LYNN ELBER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Cowell rolled his eyes and raised
LOS' ANGELES — An annoyed look from "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell as a contestant expressed sadness over the Virginia Tech shootings was drastically misinterpreted, Cowell and the show said Wednesday.
his eyebrows as contestant Chris Richardson of Chesapeake, Va., followed his performance on Tuesday's show with a comment about the 32 people killed on the campus by a student.
"My hearts and prayers go out to Virginia
The show went into damage control Wednesday, with Cowell known for his acerbic comments
— and a series producer denying that he had heard what Richardson said.
Tech. I have a lot of friends over there... Be strong," Richardson said on stage.
Instead, he was talking to Abdul about Richardson's contention that he deliberately sang "Mayberry" in a nasal tone, Cowell told "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest on Seacrest's radio show Wednesday.
"This is a sad time for everyone, so it is especially disheartening that a quick camera cutaway could have been misinterpreted."
The camera caught Cowell's expression and showed him tapping his hand once, in apparent impatience, on the table in front of him and fellow judges Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul. In contrast, Abdul could be seen nodding in approval.
NIGEL LYTHGOE Executive Producer
"I was saying to Paula, 'What does he mean, he sang nasally on purpose? I didn't understand what he was saying.' So I hadn't even heard what he did. Then my eye rolled, given what I was saying to Paula," Cowell told Seacrest.
"I've never heard so much rubbish," added Cowell, a British record company executive.
"I did want to clear this one up because, you know, this is a very very sensitive subject. The irony is that we did want to try and set the right tone on the show. And then something
Cowell said he supported Richardson's comments.
like this happens, and it just starts fanning the flames," Cowell said. "And people need to understand, there are families involved. It's not right."
Series executive producer Nigel Lythge came to Cowell's defense.
"This is a sad time for everyone, so it is especially disheartening that a quick camera cutaway could have been misinterpreted," Lythgoe said in a statement Wednesday, noting that Seacrest opened the show with a statement of sympathy for Virginia Tech.
Although the Internet was awash in discussion about Cowell, the network said it had received few complaints about him. One Fox affiliate forwarded two e-mail complaints to the network, which declined to identify the station and its city.
But the Fox station that serves Blacksburg, Va., where Virginia Tech is located, hadn't received any complaints as of midday Wednesday, WFXR station manager Dave Bunnell said from Roanoke, Va.
In Seacrest's opening remarks on the show Tuesday, he said: "At this difficult time, we want to say to all those affected by the terrible tragedy at Virginia Tech our thoughts and prayers are with you."

World concern can change environment
Last Wednesday at the University of Kansas, Robert F. Kennedy posed the following question about the environment: Why should we care? For students, this query begs immediate attention.
On a daily basis, we find food quickly; water flows in abundance from faucets in our homes. Gasoline is available with the swipe of a credit card. From our perspective, there is no pressing need to imagine particles of poison in our air or to visualize massive forests being toppled along with treasure troves of undiscovered species.
Products of a capitalist economy, we have been guided in the world by a dream of fast profit. We encourage unsustainable and exploitative policies, explicitly or implicitly, because they make cheaper products. We stand idly as profiting industries discredit environmentalists as crazed tree-huggers and politicians evade looming ecological concerns. Often, we disregard environmental topics as mundane issues on a liberal agenda.
Yet the environment, far more than a source of political issues, is the infrastructure in which we are inextricably entangled. It is the water, air and land that sustain life, the materials used to build cities, the resources that enable transportation and invention. It is, as Kennedy poignantly stated, our sole connection to that which is spiritual.
For its vital role in our lives, we should care. We should care because, piece by piece, we have been destroying this infrastructure. The consequences of our carefree behaviors are grim.
Chemical pollutants in our air spur sometimes-deadly respiratory illnesses. Toxins in our water damage our reproductive systems and cause retardation
in retuses. A 2007 report by The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change asserts that tens of millions will face food and water shortages by 2020 due to a lack of rainfall caused by global warming; the poorest will be hardest hit. The national security think-tank, the CNA Corporation, recently released a report authored by military admirals and generals that asserted that resource shortages caused by global warming are likely to spur "civil strife, genocide and the growth of terrorism."
Meanwhile, ecosystems are crumbling. The World Resources Institute reports that over 80 percent of natural forests on the planet have already been destroyed. The World Conservation Union lists thousands of animals that are threatened with extinction and asserts that humans are 99 percent of the cause for species' endangerment. The Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that, as a result of devastating fishing techniques, more than 70 percent of all fish species are dangerously exploited or depleted. Numerous other organizations spew sobering data on the deteriorating structure in which we live.
In a highly developed nation, we may be able to temporarily evade effects of environmental abuse. Ultimately, however, we cannot avoid the consequences, and the costs of our actions will be monumental. Our future generation will be particularly burdened, facing increased costs and risks and fewer opportunities to enjoy nature's unspoiled beauty.
If not for us, then for them, we should care.

Massacre should prompt more gun control
Just days ago, 33 students were killed in a tragic shooting at Virginia Tech.
I've spent almost no time in Virginia, nor do I know a single student who attends the university. I do know that they all woke up for class on the morning of April 16th just as you and I did. Groggy from the lack of sleep the night before, just like you and me, they dressed. Future doctors, businessmen, architects, social workers and engineers; they were simply living the only tragedy they should've had to: Monday morning. None of them should have become the headline on countless newspapers worldwide. Not on April 16th, 2007. These students should have been on the front page of the April 16, 2017 paper as Nobel Laureates or Pritzker Prize winners.
Though not a gun owner, I myself have shot a 9mm Beretta handgun and, believe me, it is not used to kill pheasant or deer. It is used to kill people. Students like you and me that didn't need to die so long before their time. Something beyond a week's coverage on CNN and a half-hearted apology from the NRA needs to be done to fix the gun problem in this country. There is no reason for these guns to fall into any hands, let alone the wrong ones. There must be change, or April 16th's Hokies may be tomorrow's Jayhawks.
1966, and Columbine High School of 1999 be remembered by equally terrible events like Virginia Tech of 2007? Why must we always have the hindsight in knowing that events like this could be avoided?
Why must awful tragedies like the University of Texas-Austin of

COMMENTARY
"So it goes."
Author's books not the same without him
I'm sure I'm not the first to say it regarding the loss of Kurt Vonnegut, but I'd like to think I am.
And so it did. I learned about his death from my roommate around 2 a.m. last Thursday morning. Instead of exchanging casual greetings or at least trying to not wake me up, he plainly informed me, "Kurt Vonnegut died."
It was this feeling of defeat. I suppose it's a sort of universal feeling, when an icon dies, because we have a couple of choices: a. pick up the heavy load that he carried and continue his cause. Or b: think, that's too bad and send in a few dollars to the new charity established in his name.
I'd like to stick with option a. I feel I owe it to Kurt. In my very secular life, he was the closest I
ever came to a religious experience; a copy of "Slaughterhouse-Five," a pack of his famous unfiltered Pall Mall cigarettes, and a little cynicism.

Well, maybe a lot of cynicism.
And armed with my book and a tightly rolled piece of tobacco filled symbolism, I began reading and trying not to slobber too much on the cigarette's tip, because when you do, the tobacco has a way of sticking either too or in between your teeth.

People don't smoke to look cool, they smoke to practice coordination: try reading with one hand, ashing with the other, and using your tongue to flick tiny pieces of
tobacco out of your mouth, all while crossing your legs.
And so it went.
I felt I was really reading the novel, not just turning pages or preparing for a

test, but somehow, really preparing for life.
Like I said, maybe a lot of cynicism.
There is such a huge difference between having the book and having the man: the book can grant the experience, but it's the author who can continue to write them. In my brief experience, I felt like I was communing with the living man, because I knew he was out there doing the same as I was. With him gone, can it be the same to sit and smoke with the book, knowing he will never light one up again?
And in the midst of my preparation, he dies. And I'm back to those initial two options. As I flip through the New York Times, I'm pressed to decide quicker than ever. I get this feeling while reading a story about his life that we'll make a big deal about it now.

》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Students should be allowed right to defend themselves
Although the smoke hasn't cleared from the horrific tragedy at Virginia Tech on Monday, it's never too early to take a look at how to prevent such incidents from ever occurring again. If the wave of school shootings of the late 1990s are any indication, a strong risk of copycat shootings exists.
With this in mind, campuses such as ours that have banned all firearms are in danger. I think now is the time to seriously reconsider
giving students the rights to defend themselves, just in case. In a worst case scenario, campus safety probably would not get there until it's too late. Somebody intending to do damage isn't going to heed the existing laws, which only serve to penalize those who want to exercise their right of self defense.

Hope springs from tragedy
Thirty two people were killed a couple of days ago at Virginia Tech. My heart goes out to each and every family that lost someone. Losing a loved one is never easy. It is even harder when they are lost in an unexpected and senseless act. It is not hard to look at the situation with anything but despair. We wonder to ourselves how anyone could do such a thing. But we mustn't lose hope at a time like this. We need hope now more than ever.
It isn't easy to have hope after tragic events like this one. But let us not overlook the acts of heroism that took place. While the bullets that were flying, amidst the chaos
that was that tragic morning one professor sacrificed everything for his students. Seventy-six-year-old professor Liviu Librescu used his body to block the door so that the gunmen couldn't enter the classroom. He gave his life so that others could live. On that morning in Blacksburg, Va., one act of pure evil was countered with one act of pure good. That action cost the professor his life. When the dust settles and this tragic event is just a memory we will remember the violence but let us not forget the acts of heroism.

Gunman mails videos to NBC during massacre
BY MATT APUZZO ASSOCIATED PRESS
BLACKSBURG, Va. — Midway through his murderous rampage, the Virginia Tech gunman went to the post office and mailed NBC a package containing photos and videos of him brandishing guns and delivering a snarling, profanity-laced tirade about rich "brats" and their "hedonistic needs."
"You had a hundred billion chances and ways to have avoided today" 23-year-old Cho Seung-Hui says in a harsh monotone. "But you decided to spill my blood. You forced me into a corner and gave me only one option. The decision was yours. You have blood on your hands that will never wash off."
NBC said the package contained a rambling and often incoherent, 1,800-word video manifesto on CD, plus 43 photos, 11 of them showing him aiming handguns at the camera.
The package arrived at NBC headquarters in New York two days after Cho killed 32 people and committed suicide in the deadliest one-man shooting rampage in modern U.S. history. It bore a Postal Service time stamp showing that it had been mailed at a Blacksburg post
office at 9:01 a.m. Monday, about an hour and 45 minutes after Cho first opened fire.
That would help explain one of the biggest mysteries about the massacre: where the gunman was and what he did during that two-hour window between the first burst of gunfire, at a high-rise dorm, and the second fusillade, at a classroom building.
"Your Mercedes wasn't enough, you brats," says Cho, a South Korean immigrant whose parents work at a dry cleaners in suburban Washington. "Your golden necklaces weren't enough, you snobs. Your trust funds wasn't enough. Your vodka and cognac wasn't enough. All your debaucheries weren't enough. Those wereen't enough to fulfill your hedonistic needs. You had everything."
Earlier in the day, authorities disclosed that more than a year before the massacre, Cho was accused of sending unwanted messages to two women and was taken to a psychiatric hospital on a magistrate's orders and was pronounced a danger to himself. But he was released with orders to undergo outpatient treatment.
The disclosure added to the rapidly growing list of warning signs that appeared well before the student
opened fire. Among other things, Cho's twisted, violence-filled writings and sullen, vacant-eyed demeanor had disturbed professors and students so much that he was removed from one English class and was repeatedly urged to get counseling.
Some of the pictures in the video package show him smiling; others show him frowning and snarling. Some depict him brandishing two weapons at a time, one in each hand. He wears a khaki-colored military-style vest, fingerless gloves, a black T-shirt, a backpack and a backward, black baseball cap. Another photo shows him swinging a hammer. Another shows Cho holding a gun to his temple.
He refers to "martyrs like Eric and Dylan" — a reference to the teenage killers in the Columbine High massacre.
The package was sent by overnight delivery but did not arrive at NBC until Wednesday morning, apparently because it had the wrong ZIP code, NBC said.
An alert postal employee brought the package to NBC's attention after noticing the Blacksburg return address and a name similar to the words reportedly found scrawled in red ink on Cho's arm after the bloodbath, "Ismail Ax," NBC said.

Texting not appropriate in NCAA recruitment
PETER KOHL
BY JONATHAN KEALING
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
JKEALING@KANSAN.COM
The NCAA is about to fix a loophole in the rules that has been allowed to exist for too long.
Rules have always been in place that prevent coaches from making excessive and repeated phone calls to potential recruits. With text messaging, though, rules don't apply. And therein lies the problem. Not only could coaches have unlimited, unregulated, instantaneous conversations with players, but they could also use a text message to prod the recruit into making a phone call to the coach.
KANSAS RELAYS
Recruits are allowed to make as many calls to coaches as they'd like. The three most prominent coaches at the University of Kansas have all acknowledged that they rely on text messaging to communicate with recruits. Men's basketball coach Bill Self will even tell the story of how standout freshman Darrell Arthur committed to the University via text message. His use of text messaging, as well as that of football coach Mark Mangino and women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson, is prominent and entirely legal. But it's just not right, especially when recruits or their parents could be faced with a large bill for those incoming notes.
Finally, however, the NCAA seems poised to make changes to its policies and ban text messaging
The proposal, brought to the NCAA by the Ivy League, had two different options: One would have totally banned text messaging, while the other would limit the number of messages coaches could send.
- The NCAA Division I management council has recommended banning all electronic communication — including instant messages, but not e-mails or faxes — between coaches and recruits. This seems like a bit of an overreaction. Just as phone calls and other forms of communication are limited by number and frequency, text messages should be as well.
- Of course, the counterpoint to this is text messages in and of themselves depend on volume. A

Josh Kirk was the favorite entering the first day of the Kansas Relays decathlon competition Wednesday.
After the first five events, the Kansas senior found himself on top with a 70-point cushion, finishing the day with 3,686 points.
"it's pretty comfortable as long as I do what I need to do, because tomorrow is really my strong day," Kirk said.
Kirk started with a decent 100-meter dash and then won

the long jump, his only victory of the day. Kirk's most impressive performance came in the third event, the shot put, where he set a personal record with his throw of 40 feet and 1 inch. The mark is nearly a foot and a half farther than his previous personal best.
He said the change was due in large part to his dedication to the event.
"In the off-season I was trying to lift a lot and gain some weight so that my throws could increase." Kirk said.
Kirk then tied a personal record in the high jump before finishing second in the 400-meter dash to freshman teammate Jacob Breth.

For the first time since his arrival, Price and the Jayhawks finished their series against the Shockers at Wichita State without achieving their goal.

them in scoring position," coach Tracy Bunge said.
Leaving six batters on base in each game was frustrating for Bunge, who said she believed the team deserved to win.
"Offensively, we are not getting the job done," Bunge said.
Senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys, however, made sure the defense was getting its job done.
Humphreys threw a complete game, striking out seven Tiger batters in the second game.
"She was tremendous, the entire ball game, she was on," Bunge said. "She had command, she located well, she did a great job for us."
Humphreys found herself in trouble in the sixth inning with runners on second and third and two outs, but struck out the next batter, diffusing the situation.
The Jayhawks started the bottom of the sixth inning with a single by senior first baseman Nicole Washburn. Washburn was replaced by freshman pinch runner Ally Stanton, who advanced to second on a sacrifice hit by sophomore shortstop Stevie Crisosto. Kansas couldn't come through and grounded and popped out, ending the threat.
"We are not coming through with clutch hits and if you can't score, you put more pressure on the pitching staff," Bunge said.
Although Kansas, escaped the sixth inning threat by Missouri, the
Tigers found themselves with the bases loaded with one out in the top of the seventh.

The offense showed some promise for the Jayhawks, as freshman right fielder Amanda Jobe hit her sixth double of the year. But the squad had trouble capitalizing the opportunities with runners on base. Kansas lost the first game of the double-header to Missouri 3-0.
The offense got three total
hits and were walked four times, but clutch hits with runners on base were absent.
Sophomore Valerie George (9-
4) got the start for the Jayhawks
throwing four innings, allowing

George struck out three and walked two of the 16 batters she faced.
Freshman Sarah Vertelka came in for relief for two innings, allowing one earned run on two hits.
An error by second baseman Sara Ramirez allowed a run to score for Missouri.

The City of Lawrence, Kansas Human Relations Department and The Lawrence Human Relations Commission are pleased to present:
Text messaging had to be regulated, and the proposal on the table is a good first step toward ending some misbehavior. The proposal, if approved by the NCAA Board of Directors at its April 26 meeting, will probably need to be revisited regularly to stay out in front of modern technology.
are rarely tracked, which essentially means the only way to enforce a rule like this is through education and a student-athlete reporting a coach who misbehaves.
That, however, would still be costly. For a recruit to receive and reply to that many text messages could cost as much as $2 a week. If more than one coach is recruiting that player, which is almost always the case, recruits could be spending $40 a month, just on text messages to and from coaches.
KEALING (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
BY RUSTIN DODD
Kansas dropped their seventh straight duel in excruciating fashion, blowing an early lead and falling 4-3 at Oklahoma on Wednesday. Kansas fell to 4-15 and 2-8 in the Big 12, while Oklahoma improved to 8-11 and 5-5 in conference play.
Things looked promising early for Kansas as they won two out of the three doubles matches. Junior Elizaveta Avdeeva and sophomore Edina Horvath beat Irina Lykina and Gabby Baker at No. 1 doubles and junior Lauren Hommell and freshman Kunigunda Dorn disposed of Christi Baxley and Monica Purice in the No. 2 spot. The only doubles slip up came when sophomore Yuliana Svistun and junior Stephanie Smith fell to Rachael Cox and Chelsea Orr at No. 3 doubles. Kansas had been 4-0 on the season when winning doubles point.
Still, it's good to see this regulation come out of the NCAA. Potential student-athletes deserve to have a little more distance between themselves and overzealous coaches.

With a 1-0 lead heading into singles, Kansas picked up another point as Daveele cruised to a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Gabby Baker at No.1 singles. Skvistun grinded out a 7-6 (0), 7-6 (4) win over Orr, giving
Perhaps the biggest problem with this proposal will be enforcement. Text messages themselves
good text message "conversation" can drag on over four or five or six sent and received messages. For that to make sense, then, youd have to limit a coach to something like 10 sent text messages per recruit per week.

Dorn lost a close third set 6-4, giving Oklahoma's Lykina a 7-6 (2), 4-6, 6-4 victory. The meltdown was complete when Horvath squandered a one set lead and dropped her match to Purice 3-6, 7-6 (3), 6-2. Avdeeva's and Horvath's victory at No. 1 doubles broke a two match skid and improve their conference record to 7-3 at No. 1 doubles.

Then things started to crumble. Kansas dropped four three-set singles matches, leaving Kansas reeling, and Oklahoma celebrating a 4-3 comeback victory. Smith was downed 6-1, 3-6, 6-2 by Anne Carter at No. 6 singles and Hommell fell t Baxley 7-5, 1-6, 6-1 at No. 4 singles. Those two losses left Kansas up 3-2 with Dorn and Horvath both locked in three-set battles.
While also citing the potential for major expenses, the NCAA also mentioned that technology is adapting so rapidly that it is nearly impossible for a narrowly tailored rule proposed one year to still be german by the time it's implemented the next year.
In a season full of difficult losses, this one might hurt the most.

KANSAS RELAYS
ONE LOVE
3B
Relays show off Kansas athletes'talents
Maybe the boundless Kansas plains tempt kids to race to the horizon.
Maybe the humidity that settles in each summer and chokes the energy out of everyone prepares Kansans for the pain that comes from pushing the body to its limit.
Whatever the reason, Kansas has produced some of the best runners in U.S. history. Glenn Cunningham, Wes Santee, Jim Ryun and Maurice Greene all hail from Kansas. Same with one of the country's best meets, the Kansas Relays.
This year's installment started Wednesday night and continues through Saturday. Since 1923, all that homegrown talent has wowed crowds at the relays.
Cunningham, who once held the U.S. record for the mile, won several distance events in the mid 1930s. Ryun set a meet record for the mile with a time of 3 minutes, 54 seconds.
- Santee and Greene's stories are the best to tell.
Fortunately for us, Neal Bascomb
wrote a wonderful book, "The Perfect Mile," that gives an in-depth look at Santee's life. The book chronicles Santee, John Landy and Roger Bannister's chase for the first sub-four-minute mile in the early 1950s.
BY MARK DENT
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
MDENT@KANSAN.COM
As a kid in Ashland, Santee ran. He ran to the barn. He ran to the grain silo. He ran five miles to school. He ran far away to the University of Kansas to escape his sometimes abusive father.
All of the running prepared him to take center stage in the race for the first 3:59 mile. After a few sub 4:06 times, Santee thought he was finally ready for the big one. Of course, he wanted to do it at the Kansas Relays.
A then record large crowd sat on the edge of their seats waiting for the mile race on April 18, 1954. A little before the race, a drop of rain fell from the sky. Then another. Soon, the cinder track turned into a Slip 'n Slide.
Crews finally cleared off the flooded track, but the conditions
were terrible. Standing puddles doted the outside lanes and a sharp wind blew. That didn't stop Santee. He ran the gutsiest race of his life. After three laps, he had the chance to be the first runner under four. Fifty-five seconds and 440 yards stood between him and immortality.
But it didn't quite work out. The wet surface and harsh winds were too tough to overcome. Santee finished with a 4:03.1 time, the second fastest U.S. mile at the time. It was also the best mile time at the Kansas Relays until Byun ran faster in '67.
After the eras of Santee and Ryun, something happened to track and field: Americans began preferring long home runs instead of long distance runs. They began watching cars zoom around a track, not people.
Apathy towards the sport also hurt the relays. Attendance lagged in the '80s. In 1998 and 1999, renovations to Memorial Stadium caused the event to be cancelled. By 2000, the Kansas Relays were in danger of extinction. That's when Kansas City, Kan., native Maurice Greene helped save it.
Thousands rushed to see the world's fastest human, who would win the gold medal in the 100-meter dash later that year at the Olympics. Spectators stood and cheered when he strutged along the track before his 4x100 meter race. They crammed into the front row on the stadium's west side to get the best view while he did his warm-ups. They flashed cameras when he received the baton in his anchor position.
Then, the commotion stopped. Everyone held their breath and admired Greene as he glided down
the homestretch, perfect stride all the way, for a first place finish. The Kansas Relays were back.
This year there are plenty of Kansas natives on the Jayhawk roster to carry on the tradition — Matt Baysinger, Lisa Morrisey and Josh Kirk.
To me, Paul Hefferon sticks out. Hefferon, who's from Overland Park, was an All-American in the 5,000 meter last year and placed sixth in the mile at the 2006 Kansas Relays.
He's probably not going to run a mile in less than four minutes or attract a record crowd. That doesn't mean he won't do something that will make people gasp with excitement.
After all, he's a Kansan. And Kansan know how to make the relays special.

Despite all the attention focused on the Kansas Relays, distance coach Doug Clark still has his mind set on what's best for his runners.
With that in mind, several Jayhawks will run in events in an effort to help them get ready for next week's meets.
"A lot of the races tonight are to prepare us for races later in the year," Clark said.
Clark said at next week's Drake Relays and Cardinal Invitational he expected his runners to go after regional qualifying times.
"The relays are great, but it's really serious training that will get us ready for what's coming up." Clark said.
Clark said less than stellar spring weather was one reason several athletes have been unable to make a legitimate run at a regional qualifying time. He said that's why he wanted to send runners out to Stanford,

Junior Paul Hefferon, a 2006 outdoor All-American, will run in the unseeded 1,500-meter run tonight. He will then head out to Stanford next week for the 5,000 and 10,000 meters.
Hefferon holds the Big 12 Conference's fourth fastest time this outdoor season in the 5,000 meter with 14:03.50.
He also finished sixth in the mile a year ago at the Relays with a time of 4:12.70
Both junior Jason Schweitzer
and freshman Bret Imgrund will compete in tonight's 1,500. They will then travel to the Drake Relays to compete in the 5,000-meter run.
Junior Colby Wissel will run unattached in the seeded 1,500 at 2:35 p.m. Saturday. Wissel is seeded with the fourth fastest time. He will be joined by All-American Benson Chesang, a fifth seed.
Junior Alicia McGregor and sophomore Hayley Harbert are set to race in the 3,000-meter run tonight. Both will run in the Drake Relays next week for the 5,000.
The distance events start tonight at 5 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.

time. On Friday fans will get a chance to see sophomores Egor Agafonov and Zlata Tarasova in the hammer throw at the Kansas Relays.
Agafonov
At last year's Kansas Relays, Agafonov finished in second place behind Nick Welihozkiy of Pac-Bay Track Club. This time around he has his eyes squarely on first.
"We're doing as much as we can in practice and both coach Andy (Kokhanovsky) and I hope to do better than we did last year," Agafonov said.
Agafonov won the weight throw at the 2007 NCAA Indoor National Championships, avenging his last year's second place finish.
"I think it's a little different than it was before," Agafonov said. "I understand what's happening and I know what I can do."
Agafonov already has a NCAA regional qualifying mark and leads the Big 12 Conference. He has won his two previous outdoor competitions this season at the Texas Relays and the John Jacobs Invitational.
Tarasova also finished second at last year's Relays, falling just three inches behind the record-setting throw of Kansas State's Laci Heller.
Senior Cody Roberts will also compete in the weight throw with Agafonov. Their competition starts at noon today. The women's hammer throw will follow at 4:30.

points and finishing at fifth place at the end of the first day.
Along with victory in the 400, Breth finished the high jump with five and 10 inches, more than six inches higher than what he said he was hoping for.
"I'm completely satisfied with my performance," Breth said. "I was in seventh before the 400 so I jumped up two spots with that."
In the heptathlon, freshman Chelsea Helm garnered 2,282 points through four events, placing eighth after one day of competition.
Helm's time of 16.4 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles was a new personal best.
"There are things that I'm proud of and things that I need to work on." Helm said in a press release. "I think I did the best in the 100-meter
hurdles. I have had some trouble with those, and I got through the whole race, so I was proud of myself."
The first decathlon event begins at 8.30 a.m. today, which means that athletes need to be on the track around 7:15.
This may be a difficult task for someone like Kirk who, he said, struggles to get to sleep early.
"It's hard for me to go to bed by eight or nine o'clock because I'll be thinking about the events," Kirk said.

Golf legends finally get nod
curtis Strange holds the U.S. Open Championship trophy over his head after defeating Nick Faldo in the fifth round playoff at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., in 1988. Strange and Hubert Green were each selected to the World Golf Hall of Fame on Wednesday.

"I never really thought much about the Hall of Fame until Hubert would call me every year about this time and say, 'Did you get the call?' Strange said. "And I would say, No. You?"
Strange, the dominant American golfer of the 1980s whose career was defined by his consecutive U.S. Open victories, was elected through the PGA Tour ballot with 70 percent of the vote, easily getting the required 65 percent.
The call finally arrived for both Wednesday.
SAVANNAH, Ga. — It almost became a rite of spring for Curtis Strange and Hubert Green, two players with Hall of Fame credentials and blunt opinions who kept watching their peers get one of the highest honors in golf.
Green won 19 times and two majors, no victory more memorable than the 1977 U.S. Open at Southern Hills when he was told of a death threat on the back nine of the final round and handled it with fearless tenacity.

Burton close to points lead
BY STEPHEN HAWKINS ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jeff Burton is still chasing a championship. And he hasn't gotten dirty.
Almost 40 years old and nearly three years after a team switch that had some writing off the once up-and-coming star, Burton is only eight points behind Jeff Gordon for the Nextel Cup points lead.
"I feel like I'm new at it again," said Burton, in his 14th Cup season. "My enthusiasm is as high as it's ever been, my excitement is as high as it's ever been and I hope that people look at me and say I can do it again."
Burton's coming off his first victory of the season at Texas, where his only lead came after he passed former Roush Racing teammate Matt Kenseth on the backstretch of the final lap.
Instead of trying to push Kenseth out of the way on the closing laps, Burton raced clean and waited for his chance to pass. It was the same strategy he used last month at

Bristol's short track, when he refused to bump Kyle Busch on the last turn and finished second.
"Racing for the win with Burton is the same as racing for the win with Mark (Martin). You know the guys are going to give you room, you know they are going to race you fair", Kenseth said. "But they're going to drive it for everything it's worth."
Burton became the first two-time winner in the 13 Nextel Cup races at Texas, where in 1997 he got the first of his 19 career victories in the inaugural race on the 1 1/2-mile high-banked track.
When Burton won at Texas a decade ago, it was the first of 17 victories for Roush over a five-season span (1997-2001). He finished in the top five in season points four times and was 10th the other.
By 2004, his ninth season with Roush. Burton was racing without a primary sponsor. After 22 races that year, Burton left Roush for Childress and was replaced in the No. 99 by up-and-coming Carl Edwards, who won four races the following season.
"We were contending for championships and then things got to the point when we couldn't contend at all," Burton said. "We were 12th in points, 12th in points and then 18th. Everyone wrote that off as disgusting, but if you look at the whole scheme of things, it wasn't that bad."
Now in his third full season with Richard Childress Racing, Burton has finished lower than sixth only once in the first seven races. That was a 15th-place finish at Las Vegas after a late penalty for going on pit row when it was closed.
His next race is Saturday in Phoenix, where Burton has won twice — including his last victory for Roush in October 2001.
With Burton, Childress finally might have another championship contender.
Childress last won a title in 1994 when the late Dale Earnhardt won the last of his seven season championships — six of them for Childress.
"It's way too early to start picking where you're gonna be," Childress said. "I think Jeff Burton has all the ability to be a champion. He will be a champion."
"It's the best I've ever gotten off to a start. I'm sure Richard has gotten off to a better start with Earnhardt," Burton said. "I can't imagine getting off to a better start."
Only Gordon, a four-time Cup champion, can match Burton's six top-10 finishes this season. Both have finished in the top five in all but two races.

Former closer pitcher Braden Looper finds success opening for St. Louis

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Braden Looper walks around the mound during a game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday in St. Louis. A need in the rotation prompted the St. Louis Cardinals to convert the former closer to a starter after 572 major league relief appearances and 103 saves.
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Three starts into his new career as a starting pitcher, there's no looking back for Braden Looper.
A pressing need in the rotation prompted the St. Louis Cardinals to convert the former closer to long work after 572 major league relief
appearances and 103 saves. Looper likes everything about his new role: the worry-free days in between starts, the chance to flesh out his repertoire, the realization this is where he can make a difference for the World Series champions.
"I didn't do this to make 10 starts and then go back to the bullpen," Looper said. "This is what I want to do now, and I'm extremely comfortable doing it. And, I enjoy it a lot."
"The No. 1 thing you want to do with every player is what benefits the team the most."
So far, pitching coach Dave Duncan's brainstorm is a success. Looper gets his next chance to build on that on Friday at San Francisco.
"He's got real talent and he's going about it right," manager Tony La Russa said. "If you're just taking one for the team, you don't have the same kind of motivation."
La Russa stops short of calling it a permanent move, pointing out needs constantly change.
"We plan to leave him alone," the manager said. "But who knows
TONY LA RUSSA
Manager
what's going to be thrown at you?
"The No. 1 thing you want to do with every player is what benefits the team the most."
Positive results have helped shed the notion that this is an experiment. Looper is 2-1 with a 2.37 ERA, getting the only victory in the just-completed 1-3 homestand, and has quickly become comfortable with the endurance aspect of starting
by working six or more innings in all three outings
His latest start also was evidence that he can succeed with less than perfect command. After,giving up two runs on three hits to the Milwaukee
Brewers in the first inning on Sunday, Looper allowed only two harmless hits and no more runs his last five innings.
This, despite starting off 10 straight batters with a ball between the second and fifth innings and throwing strike one to only eight of 25 batters overall. That count puts the hitter at the advantage, and yet Looper found ways to retire them.
One of the ways was to rely on his defense. He struck out only three while benefiting from left fielder Chris Duncan's leaping catch at the track to rob Brewers pitcher Ben Sheets and another nice running catch by right fielder Preston Wilson.
year" Looper said. "I'm not a guy who's going to strike out a ton of guys, but when we have a defense as good as we have, I probably should let them do their job."
To scuffle, overcoming early trouble and a perceived tight strike zone, and yet still succeed, was a nice confidence boost.
The Brewers didn't get any spring previews of Looper since they train in Arizona and the Cardinals' base is Jupiter, Fla. They noticed a pronounced difference in the former closer.
"He's not throwing as hard as he used to, and he uses that to his advantage," Bill Hall said. "He was very effective."
"I'm definitely pleased with the way things have gone, but I'm not going to dwell on it." Looper said.
GOLF
Wichita-area golf course to host Pro-Am event
GOLF
NEWTON — Newton's Sand Creek Station golf course will host a professional-amateur event this summer.
The 2007 Wichita Open will host a pro-aim tournament July 31 at the new course. The tournament will pair area amateurs with members of the PGA Nationwide Tour participating in the Wichita Open, which starts two days later.
"It's a very competitive industry," Sand Creek Station general manager Chris Touhey said. "We have a relationship with the Nationwide Tour now. It puts us in a class with nobody else."
The Wichita Open started in 1990 and runs Aug. 2-5 this year at the Crestview Country Club. The nationwide tour is golf's AAA tour. Wichita Open tournament director Roy Turner said the Newton event is the first time the Wichita Open has gone off site.
Chiefs sign back-up kicker who played at N.M.
NFL
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs signed kicker Aaron Barret to a two-year contract Tuesday.
Barret played football at New Mexico and Hawaii. He appeared in three games for the Bakersfield Blitz of Arena Football League 2 last season.
Barret is expected to back up Lawrence Tynes, a restricted free agent who signed a one-year contract offer from the Chiefs.
MLB Haren picks up first win as A's knock off Angels
MLB
OAKLAND, Calif. — Dan Haren outpitched John Lackey for his
first win of the season and Eric Chavez drove in two runs to help the Oakland Athletics beat the injury-depleted Angels 3-0 on Wednesday, handing Los Angeles its sixth straight loss.
Nick Swisher also drove in a run for the As.
The Angels' offensive woes continued without their top two hitters. Vladimir Guerrero and Howie Kendrick were both out of the lineup after getting hit by pitches. They flew back to Los Angeles to see a hand specialist.
Haren (1-2) allowed four hits in seven sharp innings. He did not walk a batter and struck out three in a game that took just 2 hours, 9 minutes. Huston Street earned his fourth save.
Lackey (2-2) lost to the A's for only the third time in 20 career starts. He allowed three runs over seven innings.
Orioles beat Devil Rays, move to 8-4 on season
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Erik Bedard won his third straight start, Kevin Millar lift a tiebreaking double and Baltimore beat Tampa Bay.
Miller's fifth-inning double off Gary Glover (0-1) gave Baltimore a 4-3 lead. Miller then scored to make it 5-3 when Jon Knott, who singled, was tagged out in a rundown between first and second.
Nick Markakis homered for the Orioles, who won twice in the three-game series. Baltimore is 8-4 since being swept in a three-game series at Minnesota.
Bedard (3-1) gave up four runs and seven hits in 5 2-3 innings. He struck out eight. Chris Ray fanned all three batters in the ninth for his fifth save.
Tampa Bay starter Scott Kazmir departed after throwing 100 pitches through four innings. Rocco Baldelli hit a leadoff homer for the D瓦 Rays.

INDY CAR SERIES
Graduate to debut in KC
BY STEVE BRISENDINE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — With only 16 days between her first laps in an Indy car and her first open-wheel race, Milka Duno had better learn fast.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Duno prides herself on being a quick study. After all, she earned three of her four masters' degrees in a 2 1/2-year span.
The difference is when you blow an answer on an engineering paper, you don't run the risk of smacking into a wall at more than 200 mph.
"You can't compare the two, because they're different circumstances." said the 34-year-old Venezuelan, who is scheduled to make her IndyCar Series debut April 29 at Kansas Speedway. "But they're both very difficult things."
CITGO CITGO CITGO
Difficult enough, in fact, that Duno ranks the switch from sports car racing to open wheel competition among the three biggest challenges of her life.
"There was studying for four years to be a naval engineer. That was very hard," said Duno, whose first time in an Indy car was a rainshortened 140-lap test on April 12. "Then there was taking three master's degrees simultaneously.
Mika Duno will take her first laps April 29 in the IndyCar series at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City. Kan.Duo has simultaneously completed four masters' degrees but said Indy car racing ranks among one of the biggest challenges of her life.
The high speeds involved in oval track racing present several challenges Duno — who is following Sarah Fisher and Danica Patrick into the IndyCar Series — never had to face in sports cars.
"Now," she said, "there is Indy."
"The normal race car driver, in the road course racing, has a screw loose," Duno said with a laugh, twirling a finger at her temple for emphasis. "To drive on an oval, we
have two screws loose."
There's the unrelenting G force, for starters.
"It on you all the time, and your body feels that," she said. "I am having to train even harder, do more cardiovascular training, everything."
Keeping an open-wheel car in a groove is radically different, too, from maneuvering on a road course.
Duno said that on a road course, all the steering makes you tired "and you know that you are working hard," she said. "Here, you don't move too much but you feel the same, so tired, like you do on the road course."
The emphasis on downforce in IndyCar racing also means a different setup process.
That's where Duno's engineering background gives her an edge, Samax Racing owner Peter Baron said.
"A lot of drivers can just say, 'It's tight, it is loose, it oversteers' — very simple terms," Baron said. "She understands how a suspension works, can talk with the engineer about how a shock absorber works, all the aero effects."
And just as in her student days, Duno doesn't mind staying up late to work out problems.

Kansas City Royals' John Buck hits a solo home run in the 10th inning to beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3 in a baseball game Wednesday in Detroit.
Royals edge Tigers in 10th
BY LARRY LAGE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT -- The Kansas City Royals snatched away a victory from Detroit, one day after blowing a late lead themselves.
John Buck hit a leadoff homer in the 10th inning and Kansas City rallied past the Tigers 4-3 on Wednesday to end its six-game losing streak.
"That's a big win for us," manager Buddy Bell said, "especially after last night."
The Royals were leading after six innings Tuesday night before Detroit scored a run in both the seventh and eighth to win 7-6.
Gil Meche didn't earn the victory in the series finale, but he gave the Royals a chance to come back from a 3-0 deficit.
He didn't allow an earned run over eight innings, dropping his ERA to 2.22. He gave up six hits and three walks while striking out six.
"He's a great pitcher," Tigers starter Jeremy Bonderman said after allowing one run in seven innings. "That's why he got the money he did."
Mache signed a $55 million, five-year contract with Kansas City in the offseason, and the team's losing streak weighed heavily on his mind before he went to the mound.
"That was on my mind from the time I tried to sleep last night," Meche said. "That's why you paid me to come here. I knew that going
against Bonderman was going to be tough, and he pitched great. But we hung in there."
Mike Sweeney hit an RBI single in the seventh and Kansas City tied it with two runs in the ninth against closer Todd Jones.
"It was great to see us come back in the ninth against one of the top closers in the game," Bell said.
David Dejesus drew a leadoff walk, moved to second on a ground-out and scored on Mark Teahen's double. Sweeney's single put runners at the corners before Ross Gload beat out a potential double-play ball, allowing Teahen to score the tying run.
It was the first blown save in eight chances this year for Jones, who gave up his first runs of the season. He wasn't upset that the game was tied on a play that was almost a double play, but he was disappointed in himself for walking DeJesus to start the inning.
"That's a cardinal sin," Jones said. "I don't have the stuff to get out of those jams anymore."
One iming later, Buck hit a 2-0 pitch from Fernando Rodney into the left-field seats.
Rodney (1-3) has struggled this season, giving up six runs in seven innings for a 7.71 ERA and taking the loss in half of Detroit's defeats.
"He's been out of whack for a little bit," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "We need him to be good to be successful."
Joakim Soria (1-0) struck out four in two scoreless innings for his first major league win. With a runner on first, he fanned Gary Sheffield and Carlos Guillen to end the game.
"Soria was great in the ninth and 10th," Meche said.
Detroit went ahead 3-0 in the sixth with three unearned runs.
Brandon Inge's walk and Curtis Granderson's bunt single left Meche in a two-on, none-out jam for the second time. He almost pitched out of it again.
Placido Polanco hit a grounder to third baseman Alex Gordon, who botched a possible double play by throwing wide of second base. Inge scored on the error.
With two outs and the bases loaded, Craig Monroe hit a two-run single to make it 3-0.
"I'll take the blame for the sixth," Meche said. "I made the first mistake on Granderson. I should have made the play on the bunt."
Kansas City (4-11) pulled within two in the seventh on Sweeney's RBI single. Joel Zumaya pitched a perfect eighth for Detroit, but Jones couldn't hold a 3-1 lead in the ninth.
"We put ourselves in a pretty good situation," Leyland said. "It looked like Todd was out of sync for the first batter because he doesn't walk people, and that's what got it started."
Bonderman allowed three hits, struck out six and didn't walk a batter.
》ATHLETICS RECRUITING
Letter ends up at high court
BY JENNIFER C. KERR ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A 1997 letter from a football coach became the focus of heated questions at the Supreme Court on Wednesday during arguments over limits on recruiting high school athletes.
At issue is whether a private school in Tennessee has a free-speech right to contact prospective students about its sports programs, even though the school belongs to an athletic association with anti-recruiting rules that bar such contacts.
Justice Antonin Scalia expressed doubt about Brentwood Academy's free-speech rights in relation to the letter, which invited 12 eighth-graders at other schools to attend spring training at Brentwood.
"It was a letter from coach," said
Scalia. "I mean, that to a young kid,
that is recruiting."
Justices Stephen Breyer and David Souter also had pointed questions for James Blumstein, the attorney representing Brentwood, a wealthy prep school south of Nashville.
Blumstein argued the letter was harmless and was sent only to students at other schools who had already signed an "enrollment contract" and planned to attend the academy in the fall.
Souter quizzed Blumstein about the small percentage of students who signed the enrollment contracts, but then go to other schools. Why isn't there a legitimate interest in preventing recruiting among those youngsters. Souter asked.
The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association, which governs high school sports in the state, found
the 1997 letter from Coach Carlton Flatt to be a violation of its recruiting rule. Brentwood was hit with a $3,000 fine and four years' probation by the association.
"Enforcement of the rule here imposed only a minimal burden on speech." Maureen Mahoney, an attorney for the association, told the justices. Athletic recruiting, she said, is harmful to young adults and puts too much of an emphasis on sports.
Brentwood voluntarily joined the association and was bound by its rules, she said.
Chief Justice John Roberts appeared skeptical and questioned whether letters informing students of dates for spring practice could be seen as permissible speech.
The case is Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Assn. v. Brentwood Academy, 06-427.

Rangers sweep Thrashers in first round series
Atlanta leaves first-ever playoffs without a peep

Atlanta Thrashers' Garnet Exelby, left, dives to knock the puck away from New York Rangers' Petr Prucha during the second period in NHL hockey action Wednesday at Madison Square Garden.
BY IRA PODELL ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Matt Cullen banged in a shot off the crossbar and bounced the New York Rangers into the second round of the playoffs for the first time in a decade.
Cullen fired a rolling puck from just inside the blue line that smacked the iron and dropped on its side just over the goal line 2:06 into the third period Wednesday night. It withstood a lengthy video review and snapped a tie, and the Rangers completed a four-game sweep of the Atlanta Thrashers with a 4-2 victory.
New York, which earned its first home playoff victory since 1997 a night earlier, won a postseason series for the first time since that year. It was the Rangers' first sweep since the opening round of the 1994 playoffs — the year the Rangers last won the Stanley Cup — and quickly ended the Thrashers' initial venture into the postseason.
Fresh off a 7-0 victory in Game 3 on Tuesday, the Rangers had a much tougher time with goalie Johan Hedberg than Karl Lehtonen. Hedberg stopped 37 shots in a 2-1 loss in Game 2 but Thrashers coach
Bob Hartley made the curious decision to go back to Lehtonen, the 4-3 loser in the opener, at Madison Square Garden.
Michal Rozsival and Brendan Shanahan wiped out one-goal advantages and put Cullen in position for the game-winner. Jaramir Jagr sealed the victory with an empty-net goal with 1:33 remaining.
Cullen stepped into his series-
winning shot, meeting the puck as
to teammate Petr Prucha, while Hedberg strolled during the 5-minute video review. Finally, referee Mike Hasenfratz hung up the phone with the NHL office in Toronto and pointed to center ice. Cullen was
it rolled on edge. It smacked the bar and landed as it was when Cullen let it go. Play continued for another 16 seconds until Hedberg stopped another scoring chance.
Cullen stretched and talked
mbosed by teammates at the bench as Hedberg shook his head in the crease.
"They can take all night as long as they get it right," Rangers coach Tom Renney said.
Hedberg stopped 27 shots.
Keith Tkachuk and Greg de Vries scored for the Southeast Division champions, who will have to wait at least a year for their first playoff win.
Henrik Lundqvist made 24 saves for the Rangers, who held a 17-6 scoring edge and 143-99 shots advantage in the series.
New York will have about a week off before facing either Buffalo, Ottawa, Pittsburgh or Tampa Bay in the next round. The Rangers are the first team this year to advance.
De Vries gave the Thrashers their second short-lived lead of the series with 7:34 left in the middle period, when he ripped a pass from Pascal Dupuis past Lundqvist during a delayed penalty.
New York tied it 5:52 later on Shanahan's 56th NHL playoff goal, fifth among active players and his third of the series.
Marian Hossa, who scored a career-high 100 points this season, assisted for his only point of the series.
It was a shot Hedberg, who was sharp throughout the second period, would want back.
Sean Avery made a stellar clear from the Rangers' zone by wrapping the puck around the boards out to Shanahan.

Nets beat Bulls, qualify for No. 6 seat; Bulls lose No.2 seat
BY BRIAN MAHONEY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Vince Carter is headed back to Toronto. Chicago was left with an unwanted rematch against Miami.
The New Jersey Nets beat the Bulls 106-97 Wednesday night, clinching the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference and preventing Chicago from finishing second.
New Jersey will open the post.
season against the Atlantic Division champion Raptors in Toronto, where Carter is likely to hear boos every time he touches the ball. He starred for the Raptors for more than six seasons before his unhappiness
forced Toronto to trade Carter to the Nets in December 2004.
A Chicago victory would have set up a Bulls-Nets series in the first round. Instead, the Bulls fell to the No. 5 seed and will open the postseason against the defending champion Heat.
Miami took the first step toward its title last year by beating Chicago in six games in the first round. But the Bulls had the better overall
record, so they get the extra home game against the Heat.
The Cleveland Cavaliers captured the No. 2 spot after beating Milwaukee on Wednesday. The playoffs open Saturday.

White Sox lefty pitches no-hitter; Rangers defeated 6-0 in Chicago
BY RICK GANO ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEXAS
CHICAGO — Mark· Buehrle pitched the first no-hitter of the season Wednesday night — and he was nearly perfect, too.
Nam Y. Huh/ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Chicago White Sox left-hander faced the minimum 27 batters in a 6-0 victory over the Texas Rangers, picking off the only hitter he walked and throwing his team's first no-hitter since 1991.
Working quickly and efficiently in a dominant performance, Buehrle allowed only one baserunner.
Texas Rangers' Mark Teixeira leaves the batter's box after striking out against the Chicago White Sox during the second inning Wednesday.
He walked Sammy Sosa with one out in the fifth inning, then promptly picked him off first base.
"I can't believe I did it," Buehrle said. "Perfect game would have been nice, too."
On a chilly 40-degree night,
Buehle threw 105 pitches.
His previous low-hit game was a one-hitter against Tampa Bay on Aug. 3,2001.
It was Chicago's first no-hitter
since Wilson Alvarez threw one at Baltimore on Aug. 11, 1991.
before a crowd of 25,390 at U.S. Cellular Field.
Buehrle, who retired 20 of the final 22 batters he faced in his previous start against Oakland, had some stellar defensive plays behind him
Three of the closest plays came on grounders.
Jerry Hairston hit one to Joe Crede at third in the third inning and was called out at first after a headlong slide.
Replays showed Hairston was out, but he was ejected by first base bumpire James Hoye for arguing and had to be restrained by first base coach Gary Pettis when he returned to the field.
Tadahito Iguchi made a diving stop of Hank Blalock's grounder in the hole, got up and threw him out to end the fifth.
That came one batter after Sosa spoiled the perfect game bid by drawing the walk.
And in the seventh, Chicago shortstop Juan Uribe went into the hole to get Ian Kinsler's grounder and got him at first, thanks to a nice scoop by first baseman Paul Konerko.

BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
can't wait that long.
Still, Kansas cracked the scoreboard first Wednesday night, using the Shockers third pitcher. Leffhander Anthony Capra entered the game in the top of the fifth in a jam. Jayhawk first baseman Ross Kelling stood at home plate with a full count while junior right fielder Brock Simpson was at second after a leadoff double.
With one pitch, Capra struck out Kelling, but he wasn't as lucky with Simpson. Simpson stole third and scored when Capra threw a wild pitch to the fence.
Better prepared after what must have been a stressful entrance, Capra struck out the side the layhawks next time up. He didn't surrendered a single hit.

tion to that and just try to go out there and do my job," Esquibel said. "They're 10th in the country they've got some good pitchers."
Capra was just one of several pitchers that brought their ace material to the mound on Wednesday. After Esquibel's exit, lefty Wally Marceli threw three more scoreless innings. He surrendered a hit to the first batter he faced.
"It's a tough loss, no doubt about that," Price said. "I couldn't have asked our pitchers to do any better job today, they were absolutely outstanding for us."
Like Marcel, junior right-hander Hiarli Garcia also gave up a hit to the first Shocker he faced.
The Shockers that pounded out 18 runs against the Jayhawks in March sealed the deal with just two on Wednesday when Gillaspie singled past a diving Ryne Price to knock in the winning run in the bottom of the eighth.
"We came in here just trying to redeem ourselves, trying to play as hard as we can" Esquibel said. "It was tough. It's tough to lose by a run."
Sophomore catcher Buck Afenir singled in the top of the ninth as the Jayhawks looked for the comeback, but pinch runner Nick Faunce was caught stealing at second to end any threat.

He went 1-for-4 with a single and three strikeouts. In the field, three grounders and a blooper came his way, which he fielded cleanly, and he tagged out an attempted base-stealer.
Unfortunately for Price, his strikeouts and defense have become the subject of scrutiny.
What has hurt Price's image is how he's performed lately. In his
"He'll be fine," coach Ritch Price said. "He's the most competitive guy on my team."
It's true. Ryne leads the layhawks in errors and strikeouts — two of the most infamous evils a baseball player can commit. But for Kansas, keeping Price at second base and in the heart of its order — despite his 17 errors and 50 strikeouts — is a necessary evil.
During a four-error series against Baylor last weekend, Kansas fans began to wonder out loud why he's the only Jayhawk who hasn't taken a game off this season. Nevertheless, he's keeping his head up.

For his career, Berner has a .923 fielding percentage, which is just 22 points higher than Price's fielding percentage this season.
So, would Kansas be better off with Price at designated hitter and someone else at second? Actually, no.
"He'll be fine. He's the most competitive guy on my team."
If anything, Price should be hitting higher than his usual sixth spot in the order.
Junior Matt Berner is next on the depth chart at second base, but there's no guarantee he'd be any better in the field than Price and he

Thanks in part to Price, who leads the Big 12 in errors, Kansas is at the bottom of the conference in fielding percentage.

But for the most obstinate of critics, there's still the question of whether Price is doing more harm than good.
This season, Price's 17 errors have led to 18 runs for Kansas' opponents.
By comparison, junior shortstop Erik Morrison, who is second on the team with six home runs, is far behind Price in runs created at 23.
However, with the help of sabermetrics, it's clear that Price is the most effective run-producer on the team.
Sabermetrician Bill James devised a statistic known as "runs created," which calculates how many of a team's runs any one player is responsible for.
The equation is simple: [(hits + walks) x total bases/(at-bats + walks)] and according to it, Price is responsible for creating 31 of Kansas' 285 runs this season.

sport specs SWIMMING
The history
Modern competitive swimming dates back to the 1896 Olympics when swimmers swam in a port in Athens, Greece, says Clark Campbell, head coach of women's swimming at KU.
The workout
Swimming can be a good compliment to an overall
fitness plan, Campbell says. Because it's an aerobic sport, swimming should be done for at least 20 to 30 minutes. For a more mentally stimulating workout, rest for 10 to 20 seconds every 25, 50 or 75 yards, a method known as interval training.
PHOTO CONTRIBUTED BY JEFF AND LAURA JACOBSESS OF KANAS SASTH, INC.
P
A workout utilizing all four strokes — freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly — trains all muscle groups. Swimming for an hour can burn up to 1,000 calories Campbell says.
The alternatives
For the non-swimmer, there are other aerobic activities that can be done in the water. Grab a kickboard — a tombstone-shaped piece of floating foam — hold it with your arms stretched out in front and kick away. Not only does using a kickboard keep your head out of the water, but if done for at least 20 to 30 minutes the exercise works your legs and cardiovascular system. Interval training can also be done with
a kickboard.
Aqua jogging is a great way for people who like to run to get in the water. Use a flotation device to stabilize yourself while you mimic the motion of running in water that is too deep to stand in.
If you don't know how to swim, find someone to teach you, Campbell says. Also, keep your expectations within reach. Interval swimming is a good way to accomplish your goals without getting too tired. Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center, 4706 Overland Dr., offers swimming lessons for adults. For more information, visit their Web site at www.ci.lawrence.ks.us/lprd/aquatics/iac.world.
Get involved
The pool in Robinson Center is open for student recreational use from 5:50 to 8:15 p.m. Monday through Friday and 2 to 4:45 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

DRINK BLACK TEA TO HELP PREVENT CAVITIES AND BAD BREATH
Though nothing can replace proper tooth-brushing, drinking black tea on a regular basis can help prevent cavities and gum disease, says Christine Wu, professor of periodontics and associate dean of research at the University of Illinois-Chicago College of Dentistry.
Wu and other researchers found that black tea infusions and extracts affect the growth of oral bacteria associated with cavities, gum disease and bad breath. Black tea leaves contain fluoride, which inhibits the growth of bacteria in the mouth, she says.
In Wu's study, research volunteers rinsed their mouths 10 times a day with black tea for a week
I
and 10 times a day with water for a week. The outcome showed that rinsing with black tea decreased the amount of plaque on participants' teeth.
So if you can't brush after meals, try sipping on a cup of black tea after you eat to rid your mouth of cavity- and bad breath-causing bacteria.

A BITE-SIZED HABIT
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION/ SARAH LEONARD
The long and short of nail biting
by Elyse Weidner
Shaina Meyers has always believed that long nails don't belong on small fingers.
"I have incredibly small hands and little fingers, and they just don't look right with really long nails," she says. Her paws are so petite that they're earned her the nickname "Carnie Hands" from her friends, and Meyers, Omaha, Neb., senior, swears that even her 10-year-old cousin has hands much larger than her own.
Meyers says her desire to keep her fingernails short led to a lifelong habit of biting and picking at her nails. The subconscious behavior began when she was young, and the bitten, rigid and weak nails crowning the tips of her small hands today are evidence of an unrelenting attack.
More than one third of children under the age of 10 bite their nails at some point, says Robert Steele, a pediatrician at St. John's Regional Health Center in Springfield, Mo. Although the number of nail biters generally
decreases with age, those unable to quit by adolescence or adulthood continue to struggle with the habit as they grow older.
The physical act of nail biting and picking comes only after what Brown calls the "secondary habit," when nail biters methodically scan their fingertips for any tear, flaw or irregularity in the skin or nail. Imperfections give nail bitters the justification needed to begin the "primary habit," which
For adults to stop biting their nails, Steele says they have to consciously recognize the behavior as it begins to develop. In Stop Your Nailbiting! Permanently, author Gilbreth Brown defines nail biting as a two-step process that nail biters need to understand before they can permanently surrender the habit.
"Pretty much every time I start biting, I try to stop and stick my hands in my pockets," says Sean Henning, Leawood senior. "But it's frustrating because I'm doing it subconsciously."
Brown defines as "the habit of periodically and habitually biting, picking, tearing, ripping, gnawing, gouging, licking, smoothing, pruning or performing any other self-inflicted action targeted toward mutilating the ends of one's fingers."
And these actions are not solely confined to the fingernail. Often, Brown says, the entire fingertip is targeted during heavy picking. Besides short and disfigured nails, consequences of nail biting and picking can include painful swelling, bleeding and infection.
Despite the sore and aching aftermath of an intense biting session, battered and tender fingertips find their way back to the mouths of habitual nail biters. Constant biting weakens the nails and makes disfiguring them again fairly easy, Meyers says, reinforcing the behavior.
A tense ending to a sporting event is often described as a "nail-biting finish," and any pictorial depiction of an individual gripped with anxiety usually includes a person with his hand to his
mouth, nervously gnawing at the ends of his nails. Steele says there isn't one specific cause behind the behavior, but that nail biting is often a convenient way to pass times of stress or boredom."When people are passively monitoring something and can't sit and
KICKING THE HABIT
Take these steps to prevent nail biting before it begins:
Paint your fingernails with bitter-tasting polish or place Band-Aids on each fingernail so you recognize and stop biting upon initial contact.
Wear a loose fitting rubber band around your wrist and draw it out and snap the underside of your wrist each time you bite your nails.

watch, they turn to bouncing their knee, twiddling their thumbs or picking at their nails." he says. Other reasons people bite their nails include overactive grooming habits, self-punishment and parent-child modeling.
Henningrememberswatching his mother bite her fingernails before he picked up the habit as a child. He also says that when he works with his hands as a bike mechanic during the summer, he has little time to bite his nails. "it's when I'm sitting in class and not being asked questions or not answering questions and I want something to do with my hands — that's when I start biting," he says.
Because little research has been done on nail biting, the causes behind the behavior aren't fully understood. So if the clicking sound coming from the nail bitter to your right sends shivers up your spine, wait a second before giving them the evil eye and remember that your hair twirling, ear lobe tugging or foot tapping could be equally aggravating to the person sitting to your left.

GRAD CHECK
Rick Younger Year: 1972 Hometown: Kansas City, Kan. Degrees: Journalism and English
Back in the day: Younger played in a rock n' roll band and worked at the Rock Chalk, a bar and grill that once stood where the Crossing is today. He took part in Strike Day on April 8, 1970 to protest the Vietnam War and 12 days later witnessed the chaos of the Kansas Union burning.
BUTTONS
When he wasn't working or playing music, Younger was going to concerts. He met his future wife during his sophomore year in college. Back in 1970, men had to bring dates to get into some concerts, so he and a buddy called the dorms ahead of time and said they'd take the first two girls down the stairs to the show. He claimed the taller of the girls before they even walked out; her name was Debbie.
The grad life: After graduation, Younger lived in St. Louis and toured with his band until his now late ex-wife, Debbie, was finished with her education degree. After touring for a few years, he went back to school to study accounting and later worked for the state government in Topeka.
MUSIC THAT MOVES YOU
In 1988, at a wedding in Topeka, the owner of Bogart's bar on Vermont Street in Lawrence asked Younger to bartend and he accepted immediately. Later, the owner sold the bar to Younger, who renamed it Rick's Place to avoid legal battles over naming rights. Although the bar is now in its third location — 846 Illinois St. — Younger is still doing the same thing.
Today: Younger says he only gets four hours of sleep a night, so he has plenty of time to focus on his bar. Sometimes he's in there all day, he says, and other times only for a few hours. If he's not in the bar, he's working at home or staying active in the Lawrence Beverage Association fighting the city's smoking ban. Younger says he was frustrated that after collecting so many signatures to request that a citywide vote be held on the ban, the LBA's petition was denied by the city government.
He says: "I'm still the prettiest man in Lawrence. That's about the only thing I've got going for me."

Water covers about 70 percent of the earth's surface. That should keep Andy Dzialowski busy for awhile.
by Sam Carlson
Most people look at a pond, a stream or a lake and see water. Andy Dzialowski sees his past, present and future.
As a young boy living in Kalamazoo, Mich., Dzialowski spent time on Lake Michigan with his brother, Ed. They walked along the streams that fed into the lake, catching frogs and hanging out with friends.
Dzialowski, a postdoctoral research associate in the Kansas Biological Survey, a research unit of the University of Kansas, has always had a special relationship with the environment.
"Amazingly, you can do that for a job," Dialowski says.
Dzialowski is currently researching the water in Clinton Reservoir, the same water many Lawrence residents drink. The chemical released from dead
These days, he spends time researching "invasive species," organisms that invade other organisms' habitats in the ecosystem. Studying zooplankton — microscopic organisms that eat algae — might not seem very exciting, but Dzialowski, 32, enjoys knowing his research positively affects people.
"I'm not just like some old scientist in the back corner office, studying this organism that no one cares about," he says.
algae in the water has caused the water to have a strange taste and odor in past months, he says. The chemical, known as geosmIn, can be removed at the water plant using activated carbon but the process is a costly one, he says. That's why he and his team are attempting to find ways to predict when large amounts of the chemical will appear, so that the carbon can be used more efficiently.
"Even though he studies science in a pure form, he's very interested in the applied aspects of his research," says Dzialowski's wife, Amy, who graduated with a degree in environmental studies from the University of Kansas.
Although he's wrapping up the current session of water sampling at Clinton Reservoir, Dzialowski hopes to receive more funding so he can continue his research.
For example, Dzialowski's research helps the Environmental Protection Agencysetregulations on the nutrient content for lakes and streams. These criteria allow the quality of the water to be managed and restored more efficiently.
Dzialowski's time on Lake Michigan led him to pursue his interests in college and he graduated from Michigan State University in 1996 with a degree in zoology, the biological study of animals.
His concern for the environment then brought him to the University of Kansas, where he received his master's degree and doctorate in ecology. His doctoral research attempted to determine what factors exist in a habitat in which invasive species such as zooplankton — thrive
He now teaches a senior-level environmental studies course in
the fall and spends his summers doing fieldwork, visiting lakes in Kansas and other states.
The summer projects are team efforts, usually consisting of two or three scientists who set out in a boat to collect water samples.
According to his peers, Dzialowski works well in such an environment.
"He's somebody who not only has capabilities and gets things done, but he has a personality that people are comfortable with," says Val Smith, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.
Smith, who served as Dzialowski's primary mentor during his doctoral research, considers him one of the finest field scientists he's ever worked with.
"He's comfortable outdoors and has the right skills." Smith says. "If you need to go sampling
USE LESS, SAVE MORE
When cooking, save 10 to 15 gallons of water per meal by peeling and cleaning vegetables in a large bowl of water instead of under a running tap.
When hand-washing dishes, save 15 gallons of water by soaking dirty dishes in the basin before rinsing them.
Take short showers instead of baths. Showers use an average of five to seven gallons per minute, three times less than the water used for a bath.
Install a low-flow shower head.This will cut water use in the shower to just three gallons per minute and still provide an invigorating flow.
Source: Kansas Department of Health and Environment
Turn off the water to brush teeth, shave and soap up in the shower. Filling the sink to shave uses only one gallon, while letting the water run can use 10 gallons or more. Turning off the water when you brush your teeth can save up to four gallons of water.
or go out for outdoor research, he's definitely somebody you want in the boat."
The young scientist isn't all about work, though. In fact, he says he and his colleagues play basketball in a city league, and occasionally get together for barbecues and potlucks.
Amy Dzialowski says she sees her husband's interest in his work on a daily basis. She says he will take a "scientific perspective" on every pond or puddle they pass while hiking or spending time outdoors.
But no matter where he is or what he's doing,he's conscious of Mother Nature.
Dzialowski says he and Amy recycle and try their best to limit their water use around the house. Amy says they try to be careful about which products they buy, making sure they are eco-friendly whenever possible.

HOW WE met
While working at a summer camp before her junior year of college, Devin Sinnott, Chicago senior, saved a kitten after a camper heard it screeching in the bushes. When Sinnott found the kitten, its tiny, fluffy head was caught in a tractor tire. After lathering the kitten's head with vegetable oil, Sinnott freed the cat and later named it Lawrence, after the boy who first heard its cries.
"I saved Larry's life and every day he saves mine," Sinnott says.
Sinnott and Larry will be friends for at least nine lives, she adds.

No War in Iraq: Not in Our Name. The banner bearing these words was signed by hundreds of people and torn down from where it hung outside Ecumenical Christian Ministries numerous times during the buildup to the war in Iraq before Thad Holcombe, ECM's pastor, decided to start bringing it in at night. The banner hasn't seen much action since then; at least not until recently.
Last month, four University students took the banner to an interfaith Christian protest against the war in Washington, D.C. They have since reached out to other religious and non-faith-based organizations on campus to form a coalition to protest the war. The group, Christian Peace Witness, includes members of the four Protestant denominations that make up ECM, 1204 Oread Ave., and is currently seeking recognition as an official campus organization.
"We wanted there to be some
sort of visual representation of students on campus that were showing opposition to the war," says Sonia Marcinkowski, Blue Springs, Mo., junior, about the banner. "The atmosphere on campus has been very apathetic."
Jon Dennis, Hutchinson senior and a member of Christian Peace Witness, has approached representatives of local churches to invite them to attend the weekly peace vigil that takes place at noon every Monday at Danforth Chapel. Christian support for the war should end because peace is a deeply rooted tradition in Christianity and because the war in Iraq is unjust, Dennis says. It does not hold up the theories of just war developed by formative Christian philosophers such as St. Augustine, he says.
Members of Christian Peace Witness say they want people to listen to these Christian messages of peace because they fear the
dominant rhetoric about the war in Iraq sends the wrong message to the world. Beth Ruhl, Lawrence sophomore, says President Bush's references to the war as a holy crusade can mistakenly be combined with the Christian doctrine of religious conversion to create the appearance that many Americans believe Muslims should be converted to Christianity.
To send a different message, Ruhl says the group has invited all religious groups on campus to support their mission. When she hands out fliers in front of Danforth Chapel, Ruhl says that many Middle Eastern people approach her and say, "I'm from there. I really support what you're doing. I really want peace."
Ruhl encourages students to go into Danforth to reflect on those hurt and killed in Iraq and the families who love them. Visitors can tie black ribbons to a net in the pulpit and contemplate the war as
they listen to a Gregorian chant or other music that rings across the dark, hard wood roof beams of the dimly lit chapel. The small chapel is unusually intimate and the peace vigil usually only sees two or three visitors at any time.
So far, only KU Peacebuilders and a few Lawrence churches have responded to the group's invitation to attend the vigil. Reverend Holcombe also invited the various members of the Kansas University Religious Advisors, but says that none have responded.
The group isn't just for students or members of specific religious groups, Holcombe says. "Faith traditions are important," he says, "but they aren't going to keep us from making a joint expression about our opposition to the war."

How to outfit your
By Elise Weidner
When looting for apparel
suitable for a trek up the hill and a
seat in a lecture hall, some students
search no further than their
bedroom floor. Piles of rumpled
T-shirts and hole-ridden jeans can
provide endless wardrobe options
for students with little desire, time
or cash to invest in fashion. On
campus there is no requirement
for how many times each week you
must shower, shampoo or shave,
and if you're still wearing socks
adorned with Christmas trees in
August, no one will disapprove.
At Sprint, after years of keeping the employee dress code strictly "business," the company has recently made the switch to "business casual." But adding the "casual" doesn't mean employees can throw out their suits and head to work in the laid-back apparel they donned during their college years. Blue jeans, T-shirts, shirts with offensive logos, tennis shoes and revealing clothing are still not considered suitable attire for Sprint employees, says Diane Shoemaker-Katz, director of human resources and employee relations at the company.

But when you leave the casual campus atmosphere for a professional working environment, you're going to have to trade your sweats in for something nicer, something cleaner and in most cases something that fits in the category of "business casual."
However, Guilbault says that whenpreparing for aninterview,it's always better to give a little more in the area of self-presentation than it is to slack off. Take the extra

"If I went into an interview and the applicant was in sneakers, shorts or jeans, right off the bat I sense that this person isn't taking the interview very seriously," she says. "So I ask myself, 'How seriously would they take the job?' Guilbault describes the dress code for employees at Reebok as casual and "pretty lenient." Sneakers are clearly a standard, jeans are OK as long as they are not ripped, and several men and women within her office wear multiple earrings in their ears as well as nose and eyebrow piercings, she says.
interviewing for a position it is imperative to dress professionally. People will judge you first by what they see and how you smell, says Tammy Edwards, director of diversity and inclusion for Sprint Nextel.
Wearing a business suit reflects your judgment and professionalism and demonstrates to the interviewer that you care about the interview and the prospective position, says Nancy Burford, staffing manager for Sprint.
First impressions should never be a deciding factor in whether to hire an applicant, says Laura Guilbault, a media production specialist at Reebok, but they do serve some purpose.

STRAIGHT FROM THE EXPERTS
Robbie Laughlin: Dishes out fashion and style advice on the E! Network's The Daily Ten and created makeovers for Bravo's 2005 series Queer Eye for the Straight Girl.
Kathy Swanson: Owner of Spectators, 710 Massachusetts St.
Kathryn Finney: Blogs under the alias The Budget Fashionista and wrote How to Be a Budget Fashionista.
STAPLES FOR WOMEN:
The business suit with accompanying trouser and/or skirt
Robbie says:
Kathy says:
Having a basic suit gives you several classic pieces you can draw upon and add to for additional looks.
Onceyouenter the professional world, you should invest in quality clothing that will last for a few years, so spend time researching the different suit cuts and colors available.
There are few rules when it comes to fashion today, so feel free to choose narrow or wide skirts, long or cropped pants, high-waist or low-waist bottoms, and jackets with or without added detail. The key is to find
pieces that fit your body well and complement your style.
The Budget Fashionista says:
Your first professional purchase should be a basic black three-piece suit. Buying the pieces in black allows you to get a lot of wear out of the suit without people noticing you are wearing the same thing over and over again. The skirt should hit mid-knee or a bit below to accentuate the thinnest part of your leg. Avoid jackets with heavy embroidery or detail; this distinction will give away the fact you wear the outfit often.
The blouse
The blouse Robbie savs:
Wearing tops adorned with feminine touches such as ruffles, lace, ties or bows underneath a suit jacket can add texture to a classic look.Pair the same trousers or skirt with different blouses to create multiple outfits.
The color, style and fabric weight of a blouse depend entirely on the comfort level of the individual. However, you'll get the most wear out of blouses that aren't too sheer, fussy or trendy.
The Budget Fashionista says:
Kathy says:
Adding color to the basic suit can be done with sweaters and tops. Blouses and tops in basic and muted colors are best if you're
entering a conservative industry. But if you're working in a more liberal environment, colorful blouses are a great way to show off your personal style.
The dress
Robbie says:
The wrap dress is flattering on all women's body types. A simple change in shoes and accessories can instantly transform the casual dress into a more formal look.
Kathy says:
A dress should never be too short or revealing. Make sure to shop around and find a cut that fits your body well. Many dresses can be worn in the office if paired with a jacket or sweater.
The dress shoes Robbie says:
Pointed and round-toe pumps have never gone out of style. Buying a pair of black and brown pumps allows you to combine them with any outfit.
Dress flats are appropriate for work, but never sandals. If you wear an open-toed heel or flat, make sure your pedicure is a subtle color rather than anything too distracting. Save loud, bright polishes for your time away from the office.
Kathy says:
The intimates The Budget Fashionista says:
Invest in high-quality undergarments. Go to a department store and get properly fitted. A tight bra can give the appearance of a third boob and poor-fitting underwear leaves your midsection clumpy and bumpy.
To keep everything smooth and moving in the right direction, buy shaping undergarments such as ASSETS by Sara Blakely (the same woman who invented SPANX).
Single- and two-button suits are flattering on every body type. Buy your first suit in a dark charcoal or gray color. This classic color palette gives you the opportunity to dress it up and add color with a bright tie or button-up shirt underneath.
The Budget Fashionista says:
Whether to wear panty hose or stockings is left to your personal style and work environment. If everyone around you is wearing panty hose under their skirts, you should be wearing them as well. If your profession permits, patterned hosiery and stockings can also be a fun — and inexpensive — way to add style and personality to your outfit.
The fit of a suit is a sort of status symbol among men. You should always go to a store and be custom fitted for your suit. There should be no indentations in the shoulder or armpit area — if there are, either the body or the sleeves of the jacket are too large. The sleeves should land slightly past the wrist and the pants should make a break at the tops of your shoes. Make sure that any patterns, such as pinstripes, match from top to bottom and are all going in the same direction.
STAPLES FOR MEN:

For a man in the professional world, you don't want to go crazy with shoes.It's always best to select a more conservative and classic shoe to go with a pair of slacks or trousers. You can never go wrong with a classic wingtip, loafer or lace-up.
The dress shoe obbie says:
Men need to invest in a good pair of shoes and keep them polished and looking great.
STAPLES FOR BOTH SEXES:
Robbie says:
The Budget Fashionista says:
The trench coat Robbie says:
In addition to being extremely trendy right now,trench coats really do stand the test of time. Buying them in black, tan or khaki allows you to wear them year round and with any outfit. Make sure to buy a coat that hits you just at or above the knee, no longer.
The Budget Fashionista says:
All men and women should own a trench coat with removable lining, which they can wear most of the year. Buying a three-quarter length black or khaki trench coat allows you to wear it with both dressy and casual outfits.
The jeans
Robbie says:
Everyone should own two great-fitting pairs of jeans. Find the cut that's most flattering for your body type and understand that the style and cut that works best for you might not be the one on the cover of every magazine.
For men, dressing up jeans for work can be as simple as topping a pair with a stylish button-up or T-shirt under a blazer. When picking out a boot or a loafer to dress up your denim, pick a pair with a lot of style. Because you're pairing this shoe with jeans, it doesn't need to be as conservative as the pair you wear with slacks.
For women, wearing your favorite pair of jeans with an embellished heel or boot can instantly add style to a simple look. Wearing a fitted, feminine jacket over a pair of jeans and shirt can make jeans suitable for the office.
Once you start working professionally, you don't need to spend as much money on building the casual section of your closet because you don't wear these clothes as much. Unless the office dress code allows you to wear jeans to work, don't spend more than $50 on a pair.
If you have extra money in your budget, spend it on accessories such as bags and watches. You can wear these pieces with any outfit.
The Budget Fashionista says:
The accessories Robbie says:
Jewelry you wear to work should never be too trendy or make a lot of noise.
Kathy says:
The Budget Fashionista says:
Use necklaces and bracelets to jazz up your business suit, but don't spend a lot of money on these pieces.

time the night before an interview to assemble your look and iron your outfit. Being greeted by an applicant wearing a wrinkled shirt and mismatched socks immediately alerts the interviewer that you aren't serious about the position.
For Burford, the worst interview experiences usually involve poor personal hygiene or inappropriate clothing worn by the applicant. Always wash your hands before you enter the meeting and shake the interviewer's hand. Because you'll be doing a lot of talking during the interview, bring along a few mints to keep your breath crisp and fresh. Also, Burford says to remember to make sure the interviewer can see your face. She once met with an applicant who left his sunglasses on during the interview, without explaining why he was wearing them. He probably didn't get the job.
Edwards advises that when interviewing for a job — and even after you get the position — to keep personal hygiene and grooming habits simple and tasteful. You don't want unnecessary distractions, such as too much makeup or too much cologne, to derail your career, she says. She also recommends
that skin exposure for both men and women always be kept to a minimum. For most working environments, Edwards says skirts should be no shorter than a hand's width above the knee, shirts and blouses should always have sleeves and there should be no visible cleavage for women.
Appropriate apparel in the workplace can vary as much as individual style. A person who works at a bank will be expected to dress differently than someone working at a coffee house, Edwards says. And while dress codes at Reebok and Sprint are becoming more casual, the opposite could be happening at the company to which you are applying.
Seeking the advice of someone in your field before heading to an interview can give you a better sense of what is expected of you and your style. But, when in doubt, pick something clean, something professional and something in which you feel comfortable.
No matter how casual the office dress code, you will undoubtedly have to make a few new clothing purchases upon entering the working world. Take some advice from the experts on what every working man and woman should own.

"But on days when I meet with clients, it probably takes an hour longer to get ready because I want to look my best."
Fashion funds: "I'm only using money I earned for making these purchases, but I don't mind because besides the two suits, everything else can be worn out to the bars, to nice dinners and the theater."
Next buy: "I've been buying a lot of brown tops lately, but as we get to summer I want to get more patterns."

Fashion funds: "It's just been a really slow process. It means you don't go out to lunch every day. I'm trying to pace myself because I'm outfitting my condo at the same time."
Style guru: "The magazine is a little bit different. It's business casual, but some of the girls wear some crazy things. The environment has gotten me out of my comfort zone and I'm trying to prove that I'm not the little girl from Kansas."
Adam Reeze 2006 Graduate

Tip: "I go to the office each day with a suit on minus the tie, but I keep a stash of them at work just in case I need one at some point during the day."

I ASKED A GIRL FOR HER NUMBER
LAST WEEK. SHE TOLD ME SHE HAS A
BOYFRIEND, BUT I THINK SHE MIGHT
HAVE BEEN LYING TO ME JUST BECAUSE
SHE WASN'T INTERESTED. IS THERE
ANY WAY I CAN FIND OUT? SHOULD I
CONFRONT HER?
— JUSTIN SOPHOMOR
JUSTIN, SOPHOMORE
Whoa! Confront her about it? Did she dis your mama or just tell you she has a boyfriend (which may or may not be true)? Having a talk with her about it will only make you the creepy guy who won't leave her alone instead of the sweet guy who made her day and flattered her by showing interest.
Whether she lied to you or not, she is not interested. So it doesn't matter whether she has a boyfriend — either way, you're not getting her number.
Be thankful she let you down easy and don't take the rejection personally. She doesn't even know you, so it's not really you' s rejecting (this might be difficult to grasp, but it's true). Go find another girl who doesn't have a boyfriend (real or pretend) to put in your phone.
with Niloofar Shahmohammadi
Please send your questions and concerns to bitch@kansan.com
MY BEST FRIEND IS A GIRL WHO'S STILL A VIRGIN. IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE SHE HAS NO SEXUAL DRIVE WHATSOEVER, BUT WHEN I TELL HER THIS SHE JUST SAYS SHE'S WAITING FOR THE RIGHT PERSON AND THE RIGHT TIME. I FEEL LIKE SHE'S MISSING OUT. I'M STARTING TO WONDER IF SHE'S MAYBE EVEN ASEXUAL OR SOMETHING. IS THAT POSSIBLE?
STEVE, JUNIOR
I'm a little confused.Are you saying you want to bang your best friend? Or are you genuinely concerned for her sexual liberation and enjoyment of life's pleasures?
The "problem" might simply be that she's female and thinks differently than you. I don't mean to stereotype here, as there are people of both genders who view sex in all sorts of ways, but generally speaking, women find it harder to engage in sexual acts unless they are fully and emotionally engaged in a relationship. A woman has a better sexual experience if she feels she's emotionally connected to her partner and that by having sex she is taking the relationship to a new emotional level. This requires a lot of trust and usually time. A lot of women end up feeling used if they don't allow a chance for enough emotional growth.
So this girl is probably telling the truth when she says she's just waiting for the right guy and the right time. This doesn't mean she's sexually inhibited. She probably has quite an active sex life in her mind and when she's alone in her room at night.
But then again,maybe she is just asexual.

Women's rugby players kick butt and form friendships
by Laura Evers
Rugby, a combination of football and soccer, is physically demanding; during the game, players must carry, pass, kick and ground the ball, all while working to score as many points as possible. Although some people have stereotypes about what women can do, the KU women's rugby club team is setting out to prove them wrong.
Founded in 1993, the club plays other teams from area schools, including Mizzou and
K-State. The 15 players and three alternates on the team find nothing more exhilarating than the time they spend on the field. "It's cool to say you play rugby," says Kristen Odell, Linds borg freshman. Ingrid Perez, Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.
graduate student, adds," it makes you feel like a badass."
a player can score a "try," similar to a touchdown in football. To do this, a player must touch the ball down in the opponents' goal area, scoring five points. The next way to score is by kicking a field goal, earning the team three points. Finally, if you score a goal after a try, the team receives two points.
FUN RUGBY FACTS
The first Rugby World Cup was played in 1987 and won by New Zealand.
In rugby, teams are divided into two sections, forwards and backs. The forwards generally have a bigger build and are in charge of running and tackling.
Rugby was once an Olympic sport and was last played at the 1924 Olympic Games In Paris.
There are three ways to score in a game of rugby. First,
The first rugby balls were made from pig bladders.
The backs are smaller and quicker and are responsible for getting the ball out and trying to score.
One of the best parts of the game for the players is building the team right after recruitment. The team hosts an annual wine and cheese
party where new members can begin to form friendships with players already on the team. The initiation is a great way to
"AFTER THE FIRST GAME, YOUR FEARS KIND OF GO AWAY. WHEREAS EARLIER YOU WERE INTIMIDATED BY THE OPPOSING TEAM, BY THE END YOU REALIZE YOU CAN TAKE THEM." TRISTAN NETH, WICHITA JUNIOR
start building friendships and communication among the players.
Because the majority of the players have never played rugby before they join the team, it takes some time before they acquire the skills necessary to "kick butt." Being successful in the game requires enough stamina to get through the two non-stop 40-minute halves. Fortunately, veteran teammates are always patient with new team members. "If you make a mistake, it's OK," says Tristan Neth, Wichita junior. "People don't point out your flaws."
To build stamina, team members don't rely solely on their practices to stay in shape. Many rugby players jog, lift weights and participate in endurance training. Although they work hard outside of practice, Julie Skolnik, Chesterfield, Mo., junior, says the games themselves are a workout. "I lost 30 pounds in the first 15 months just from
practice alone," she says.
Neth also had some apprehensions about joining the team, mostly because of her fear of the opposition. "After the first game, your fears kind of go away," she says. "Whereas earlier you were intimidated by the opposing team, by the end you realize you can take them."
Joining the team can be intimidating for someone just starting out. Perez says she didn't initially want to play at all. "When the recruiter was describing the game to me, I thought,'Do you want me to get killed?''" After some convincing, Perez went to her first practice in February 2005 and has gone ever since.
Even though the team certainly lives up to this, the intensity of the sport — which is often as violent as football but played without padding — can lead to injuries. According to Louis Disney, the team's assistant coach and a
former rugby player, the girls on the team play differently from their male counterparts. "They play at a slower pace," he says, "but it's faster, too, because unlike gays, they fight for the ball."
Perez alone has endured a sprained ankle, broken pinky, dislocated shoulder and a torn MCL in her right knee. Although the risk is high, new team members are trained within the first few practices on how to avoid an injury. While serious injuries are rare, bruises are common. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, "I love my bruises," Skolnik says."Usually if I'm really bruised after a game, I wear skirts the next day to show them off."
In the end, it's more about having fun than winning the game. "It doesn't matter if you're strong enough or fast enough," Neth says. "You just need to have a good time."
Regardless of losses or the inevitable injuries, the important thing is the sisterhood that comes from being part of a team. "You meet a lot of new people," Odell says. "You become more than just good friends. You become a family."
Rugby players tackle each other but rarely sustain serious injuries.

BRIGHT EYES
CASSADAGA
Longtime indie/folk favorite Bright Eyes returns with the follow up to the ambitious 2005 dual release of I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn. Cassadaga, named after a Florida town known for its wealth of psychics and spiritualism, finds Bright Eyes tapping into new territory with a thicker, lush country sound.
Singer, guitarist and songwriter Conor Oberst is once again joined by frequent
Bright Eyes collaborators and now full-time members Nate Walcott and Mike Mogis. Several guests appear on the album, including Sherri and Stacy DuPree of Eisley, M.Ward and Janet Weiss of Sleater-Kinney.
"Make a Plan to Love Me" sounds like it could be in a musical, with its swirling strings and soft background vocals. "Middleman" has a mysterious folk feel complete with violin and heavy percussion. "No One Would
Riot for Less" is haunting with its slow build. "Coat Check Dream Song" is a psychedelic trip that's reminiscent of Sufjan Stevens with its use of vibraphone and electronics.
The one thing missing from Cassadaga is the strong emotional appeal of Bright Eyes' previous albums. But instead the songs are full of new sounds and experiences.
Perfect Stranger
★★★★
Chris Brower
MOVIE
THE CHRISTIAN LUCKY PAPER CENTER
Every so often, a movie comes along that reminds audiences just how terribly wrong a "sexy thriller" can go. Enter Perfect Stranger.
Halle Berry plays Roweena, a strong-willed ex-newspaper reporter whose childhood friend is found dead at the bottom of a lake. Citing a sordid affair with the dead friend as a motive, Roweena targets big time ad executive Harrison Hill (Bruce Willis) as suspect number one. To crack the case, she takes a job at Hill's ad agency and slowly seduces him, all the while playing cat and mouse with him in a private chat room posing as someone else. With the help of
computer geek and hopeless admirer Miles (Giovanni Ribisi). Roweena uncovers information that reveals that not everyone is as they seem.
Never has a movie been less sensual or less suspenseful. This wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't trying so hard to be sexy and thrilling. Of course, an exciting pace is hard to keep up when the movie falls back on flashbacks every six minutes. But style is not completely to blame.
The script is riddled with plot holes and inconsequential scenes. This, of course, could be meant to distract the viewer from the absolutely ridiculous climax. To give you an idea, the
filmmakers actually had three different endings filmed, each with a different killer. Some might say that having so many different endings is a sign of good screenwriting (see: Clue), but here it's just Russian roulette and a cheap ploy to boost DVD sales when the time comes. By then, however, Perfect Stranger will be the perfect torture device.

WOMAN'S BEST FRIEND
I had no idea how much company an animal could provide until Abbie was gone
When I was little, I liked being an only child, the sole recipient of my parents' attention. But when my parents separated when I was in second grade and my mom and I had to

move to a more affordable house in a different neighborhood, being an only child felt lonely. My mom sensed how hard the change had been on me and thought I needed a friend to help me through it.
by Lindsey St. Clair
We planned to pick up the puppy on the way to my grandma's house. After driving through miles of winding country roads for what seemed like forever, we arrived at the breeder's.I was nervous.Before then, dogs scared me.Our next-door neighbors had a rust-colored golden retriever who jumped up and slobbered on me.
10
But what I saw at the breeder's house was not scary at all—little funny-looking long-haired creatures scampering around. The breeder greeted us and explained that most of the puppies had been sold; only the runt was left. We asked if we could see her. The first time I saw her furry little 4-pound body wobble around on the floor, I
She decided on
a Shih Tzu. My mom contacted breeders who told her that their dogs had just had a litter of puppies. My mom bought books about the breed, which I began reading incessantly. I even picked a name — Abbie.
When it was time to go to bed and my mom tucked me in, she could tell something was wrong. I knew it too. I blurted out, "I want to give her back." My mom couldn't believe it. I knew she was hurt. "But I got her for you," she said. She told me to sleep on it and we would talk
knew she was the one. She was white with black ears and had a black spot on her back. The breeder asked if we wanted to wait until the next litter, but I had to have that one, right then
At my grandma's, I eagerly showed off my new puppy. She was so adorable. The only problem was everybody else thought so, too. For the next few hours, all my grandparents and mom talked about was the new puppy. They took pictures and played with her. For the first time, I wasn't the center of attention and I felt jealous of the attention focused on Abbie.
My mom did the paperwork while I sat on the floor holding my new dog.
On the way to my grandma's house, Abbie snoozed on my lap while warm sun poured in through the car windows. We weren't sure the last time she
went to the bathroom, so we stopped at the old Howard Johnson Hotel on Highway 54 near the Lake of the Ozarks. My mom put the tiny bright pink collar and leash I had picked out on Abbie. We took her for her first walk. Then we got back in the car and went to grandma's.
the next day.
PHOTOS COURTESY OF LINDSEY ST. CLAIR
In the morning I felt the same way, but we took Abbie home anyway. When I took her out in the front yard, the neighborhood kids wanted to play with her. Because I was new in the neighborhood, I welcomed the attention. Abbie might not be so bad after all, I thought.
Over the years I realized that I didn't love Abbie for the attention she got me; the company of an animal has more value than just making me friends. But I had no idea how close we'd become until I came close to losing her. During Thanksgiving break my sophomore year of college, Abbie wasn't acting like her usual self. After my mom took her outside one day, Abbie ran
up the stairs from our basement, wobbled around like the first day I saw her and fainted.
“What’s wrong with Abbie?” I exclaimed. Abbie wasn't getting up. I began bawling, ran into my room, shut the door and sat on my bed. I couldn't bear to see her like that. She woke up, but wouldn't get up. My mom asked for my help to take Abbie to the animal hospital, but I couldn't. I locked my door and buried my face in my pillow while my mom scooped up her limp body in a towel to take her to the vet.
My mom said that after just a few minutes in the car, Abbie was back to her old self, trying to look out the window. But the vet told us she had an enlarged heart, not uncommon for her breed, and that we would have to give her pills for the rest of
her life. Otherwise, she was fine, so we followed the doctor's orders.
I had no idea when I went home for Easter my junior year that it would be the last time I'd ever see her.
About a week after returning to school, my mom called and said Abbie was getting sick. I thought it was no big deal, because she'd always had allergies and caught the doggie flu when I was in fifth grade. It wasn't until about a week later, when I had just settled down at a computer in Anschutz Library to work on a project when I got the call. My mom's voice quivered on the other line. "What's wrong?" I asked. I'm not sure how she said it because I was in shock, but the message was clear: Abbie was gone. My
mom had the vet put her to sleep that morning because her organs were failing and the vet said there was nothing he could do. It was Abbie's 13th birthday. I quickly packed my things at the library and walked home. I sat on the futon in my room and let it all out. I felt like I had lost a piece of myself. My mom took it pretty hard, too. When I went home that summer, things weren't the same without Abbie. Now that my mom was all alone, I tried to convince her to get another dog to keep her company, like she did for me when I felt lonely. But she insisted she wasn't ready. Finally, over fall break, we adopted a Maltese puppy my mom named Bailey. She isn't Abbie, but she is adorable and keeps my mom company, like Abbie did for me.

》MESSAGE BLOX
Texts to alert students of danger
BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS
In an effort to improve communication between faculty and students and improve emergency response time, the University of Kansas will implement Message Blox. The program will send out text messages to students and faculty members' cell phones alerting them of class cancellations, weather-related KU activity cancellations, weather reports and emergency situations.
"After the microburst, we really realized that we have no effective way to handle rare emergencies like that," Frank DeSalvo, associate vice provost for Student Success, said.
The University's concern about establishing an effective form of
communication heightened after the massacre that took place at Virginia Tech on Monday.
Reid said that eventually he wanted to link Message Blox with Blackboard and other systems at the University and to give student groups the opportunity to send mass messages through the system.
"It just points out that there is a real need for a system like this," Mike Reid, director of marketing for KU Memorial Union, said. "It could have helped get the message out sooner than the 2 hours time it took at Virginia Tech. They found e-mail

Mail-order matrimony
Internet churches make ministers of the masses
BY THE REV. BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
When two KU journalism graduates recited their marriage vows last Sunday in Des Moines, Iowa, the presiding "minister" was Mohamed El-Hodiri, an observant Muslim and a reverend of the Universal Life Church ordained via the Internet with a quick click of a mouse.
Johanna Maska and C.J. Jackson,
both 2004 graduates, said they preferred having their good friend and former professor officiate their wedding rather than a "standard minister" presiding at a "typically religious ceremony".
El-Hodiri, professor of economics, could marry the couple because he had joined the 20 million people the Universal Life Church has claimed to have ordained, entailing them to preside at funerals, baptisms, blessings and weddings (but not circumcisions, according to the church Web site). Seminary for El-Hodiri,
Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, actor Tony Danza, the late gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, Beatles John, Paul, George and Ringo, and millions of other instant ministers consisted of a cost-free, five-minute application process.
Founded by the late Kirby Hensley in 1959, the original mail-order ministry doesn't require tuition or attendance at a seminary, adherence to doctrine or even belief in god. Even though Kansas and most states once restricted wedding officiates to judges, ship captains, and a specific list of ministers, Hensley's church challenged and overturned those restrictions on First Amendment grounds.
At least two other University faculty or staff have officiated at weddings, and one irreverent student became a reverend just to raise holy hell with organized religion. Mainline Lawrence ministers warn that being an effective counselor for a couple planning to marry requires training

Panties raise violence awareness
BY TYLER HARBERT
The GaDuGi SafeCenter, along with Sexual Violence Education & Support Services and the One in Four student organization, spread awareness Thursday about one form of violence that affects 25 percent of college women nationally; sexual assault.
It is estimated
that 83% of
women with
a Disability
will be
sexually
assaulted
in their life
"Regardless of whether or not you're sexually assaulted, you'll probably know someone who has been or will be assaulted," said Kristen Abell, program coordinator for Sexual Violence Education & Support Services.
Abell sat at a table that was covered with panties that belonged to survivors of sexual assault. The panty-line project Thursday was part of Sexual Violence Awareness Month.

Repairs would stimulate economy
BY NATHAN GILL
Spending money to repair Kansas universities would be good for the state's economy, according to a Kansas Board of Regents report released in late March.
The report, produced by the Docking Institute of Public Affairs at Fort Hays State University, said that if the university's estimated $727 million maintenance backlog was addressed, it would produce more than $1.6 billion for the Kansas economy.
Brett Zollinger, director of the institute, said that each dollar spent had an affect of more than $1. He said that an economic effect, called a multiplier, took place whenever money was spent.
According to the report, every million dollars spent on deferred
"A way of thinking about the multiplier is that money is spent as it is passed along," Zollinger said.
.
tenance would produce a $2.2 million increase in gross state product, a $644,500 increase in earnings and 19 new jobs. If the full $727 million was spent, those amounts would be $1.63 billion, $468.5 million and 13,964
iobs, respectively.
"It's going to have a trickle down, or ripple effect all around the state."
KIP PETERSON Kansas Board of Regents spokesman
Kip Peterson, Regents spokesman, said that spending money to fund such a large and costly construction project was bound to have a profound economic effect on Kansas.
Carl Parker, an institute policy fellow who prepared the report, explained that maintenance money would filter through the industries involved with construction projects. For example, if a company were paid to fix a building, that company would pay another business for related materials. That business would use the money to pay its employees, who would spend the money in their communities. The money, in effect, would multiply.
"It's going to have a trickle down, or ripple, effect all around the state," Peterson said.
Parker said the communities in which project money would be spent - university towns including Lawrence - would benefit the most, but that the state's entire economy would be affected.

Sarah Leonard/KANSAN
A clothesline was attached to a fold-up chair next to the table 'to string up additional pairs of panties.
"It was just one night to you ... but it will be with me FOREVER." Each pair of undergarments was decorated by either a victim of sexual assault or a family member.
"Keep out," was written on a white pair of flower-imprinted panties. Another pair of black Hanes Her Ways were painted with the message, "This used to be my favorite pair of underwear, now it is ... EVIDENCE."
The survivors had written messages of fear, hate and hope on the panties.
Ten percent of survivors are men who are assaulted by other men who are generally heterosexual, Abell said.
On a pair of blue boxer shorts, the message, "Men are objectified too," was written as a reminder that men, too, are sometimes victims of sexual assault.
Will Sellers, Sterling, Va., senior and president of One in Four, said his group formed to educate men about the prevalence of sexual assault and to develop ways for them to help victims cope.
He said he wanted the pantyline project to impact passersby and educate them about the nationwide sexual assault problem.
"The items speak for themselves," Sellers said. "Students should take an awareness of sexual assault. It's real, and it happens to 25 percent of college women."
People don't have to be victims to get involved. Abell said men could help each other, as well as women, prevent becoming a victim.
"It's important for men to look out for each other and make sure they're being respectful." Abell said.
She said there were ways women could lower their likelihood of being victimized.

BLOX (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"Every cell phone user could go to a Web site and select which text messages they want to receive," he said. "We could have an unlimited amount of message groups separated by faculty and students and their interests."
Reid said he was unsure what criteria student groups would have to meet in order to have access to the mass-messaging system because the University had not developed the system enough to have a policy on that yet.
Each group or department at the University that receives approval to use Message Blox will select a system administrator. System administrators will log on to the Message Blox system on the Internet when they want to send a message. When a message is sent through the Message Blox system to users' cell phones, it is also sent to their e-mail and is posted on television monitors located in the Kansas Union and other hot spots on campus.
The capability to receive messages from the University is already included in Sprint phones bought from the KU bookstore in the Union. The University began selling Sprint
phones on March 26.
The University plans to offer Message Blox to all students and faculty regardless of their cell phone provider. Negotiations regarding who will fund the program are still underway among the Office of the Vice Provest of Student Success, the University's marketing department, and other departments at the University who will most benefit from Message Blox.
During the first six months Message Blox is running at the University, it will be free to Sprint users who buy their phones from the KU Bookstore in the Union. Visix Inc., which owns Message Blox, will provide the service for free as a trial period to the University.
The University plans to use central institutional funding to provide Message Blox to the rest of the University. Central institutional funding is money provided not by one specific department or departments, but from core institutional resources like the provost or chancellor's funds. If there is not enough money in the fund or the administration does not endorse using the fund to provide the program to all students and faculty,
those who wish to receive text messages from the University will have to pay a $5 fee.
"The assumption is whatever program we are going with will be available to incoming students," said David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Union. "Our focus is to be ready for orientation. We would like to get (Message Blox) up and running through the summer."
Desalvo said the University was implementing Message Blox because most people did not use their e-mail anymore or they deleted important messages from University administration because they thought they were spam messages.
DeSalvo said it was Sprint's idea to utilize Message Blox for Sprint users. The University saw the program as a solution to the question of how to alert students and faculty more quickly than through e-mail.

While ordination is free, the church tells new ministers that parking permits, press passes and various credentials are available for purchase via Universal Life Church's Internet boutique.
Shortly after El Hodiri applied online, he received a congratulatory e-mail from the church entitleting the divine applicant to "all privileges and courtesies normally offered to members of the clergy"
El-Hodiri was Maska's Honors counselor at the University. She began going to El-Hodiri's house every Friday to drink wine and talk about the world, she said. Topics ranged from religion to the culinary arts. Maska said the student-teacher friendship between her and El-Hodiri was like daughter-father.
Mohamed El-Hodiri dances with his bride. Johanna Maska, at the wedding reception Sundav.
El-Hodiri said that after the ceremony, "Everybody was in such a rush to go to the bars, they forgot to have me sign the certificate." For that, he charged the couple a $1 late fee, even though the wedding itself was free of charge.
Jackson said having the wedding officiated by El-Hodiri, who turned 70 the day before the ceremony, allowed the couple to tailor the ceremony to their own personalities.
"I went into college and expected to have friendships with my professors," Maska said, "but with Mohamed, he's my guardian angel."
At the wedding, El-Hodiri, who wore a prayer shawl over his shoulders, and recited a five-line verse from Proverbs 31 in three languages: Hebrew, Arabic and English. After the couple's vows and marriage blessings both the
"I'm sure there are some members of our family who wish we were in a church." Jackson said, "but it's not who we've been for a while."
To pay El-Hodiri for his minister services, Maska and Jackson gave him a new baseball cap that read "Rabbi Mohamed," adding to his eclectic collection of hats with sayings such as, "I'm big in Europe," and, "Trust me, I'm a liar."
Instead of instructing the bride and groom to kiss, he simply prompted, "You guys go do your thing."
parents and the entire audience, ElHodiri pronounced them "spouse and spouse."
Mail-order holv order
Tim Miller, professor of religious studies who specializes in alternative religions, said at one point Kansas had an official list of officiators. Nowadays, the Internet makes it easy for anybody who wants the title without the work to become ordained, he said. Other online churches offering ordination include the Love Church and the Church of the Latter-Day Dude.
Kansas law once limited who could perform weddings but now doesn't even require an officiate.

Miller said Hensley founded the Universal Life Church to "break up the monopoly" of the holy order
"If you've got the spirit, God will give you the on-the-job training," Miller said.
Budding business
Still, some instant ministers take it seriously. Jenna Coker, business manager for the geology department and part-time Universal Life Church minister, has performed five weddings for friends and patrons since she was ordained Feb. 10, 2004. Coker said she converted good will offerings she received from ceremonies to grocery store gift certificates, which she donated to homeless people. She said she lived by the Universal Life Church's only maxim, "Do only that which is right." She is a former Episcopalian subdeacon.

She once performed a wedding in her home garden, which has more than 100 varieties of perennial flowers. She said it seemed appropriate, comparing a marriage to "a piece of artwork in bloom constantly."

Sarah Graf, 24, a Lawrence resident, found Coker's ad in The Mere's newsletter and asked her to perform a celebration of life ceremony for her newborn son, Oliver Matthew Graf, born in February.
"It's sort of a welcome-to-the-world type thing," Graf said. She and her husband, Orion, didn't want the event to be "churchy," she said, but "more relaxed, sort of a family get-together."
Coker said her wedding customers also preferred informal ceremonies. For many marriages, the bride and groom will say their vows and exchange rings, and Coker will say, "I, as an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church, announce that they are husband and wife."
Officiation optional
While states can't dictate which clergy can perform weddings, all states, including Kansas, require marriage licenses, fees and witnesses. Under Kansas law, any ordained minister, religious authority or judge could wed a couple or the couple could declare themselves married without any officiator at all.
Doug Hamilton, clerk of the Douglas County district court, said Kansas law allowed a husband and wife to marry without an officiating person by mutually declaring themselves husband and wife. Hamilton also said it wasn't a court clerk's job to check background information on clergy who officiate.
"It hasn't been an issue in Lawrence," he said, "People ask, 'Well,
billy Billy-Bob marry me and Mary-
ann? And we can't answer that."
One irreverent reverend who hasn't yet performed a wedding is Dan Ryckert, an unlikely clergyman whose long brown hair and beard give him a Jesus-like look. A professed atheist, he carries a condom in his wallet right next to his certificate from Universal Ministries, proclaiming him a man of the cloth.
Ryckert, 22, an Olathe senior, said the minister's certificate is "kind of a fun thing to whip out" in Lawrence bars.
"Any jackass with a computer can be a minister," Ryckert said. "It's ironic how easy it is."
A precise practice
Pastor Jerry Powers, interim minister at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Lawrence, attended seminary in Fort Wayne, Ind., from 1985 to 1991.
While becoming a minister is easy through the Internet, Professor Miller said most mainline American churches required clerics to earn a seminary degree.
Powers, born and raised in Nebraska, used to be a chemist for Hughes Aircraft. A "second-career pastor", he said seminary was "almost like a boot camp" for ministers.
He says marriage is a holy institution that needs trained ministers to counsel couples, blaming the high divorce rate on a lack of marriage counseling. Still, "an intelligent person could go online, get ordained and do it well," Powers said.
Jenna Coker, business manager for the geology department and an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church, holds her necklace adorned with a St. Christopher medal, Medical Alert medal and Japanese symbol. Around her wrists, bracelets such as Buddhist prayer beads, a green Karma bracelet and the serene prayer represent various religions. "I've got all my bases covered today." Coker said.
Melanie Rendall
Jenna Coker sits in front of Watson Library with the black book she uses for ceremonies. The vows are usually adapted to a couple's specifications. Coker is adamant about involving the couple as much as possible with the vows.
Many couples aren't looking for counseling, Powers said, but instead, they are shopping for a nice church to hold their wedding. He doesn't want to be a "marriage mill," so he seldom performs the ceremonies.

Powers, whose specialty is translating Greek and Hebrew biblical texts to and from English, says being an effective minister requires discipline and experience.
"Would you want to undergo neurosurgery by a person with an online certificate?" he asked.
Profession of love
Another couple who chose an officer with an online certificate was Brooke Hesler and Kyle Ramsey, wed in August 2005 on stage at Liberty Hall in front of about 170 friends and relatives. Both are KU journalism graduates.
Hesler said the wedding was a big party with their former teacher presiding. Malcolm Gibson, general manager of The University Daily Kansan and a faculty member in the School of Journalism, wed the couple after Universal Ministries ordained him. Hesler said when she and Ramsey were in school, Gibson would always joke with us that we would end up getting married, I said, Yeah right, and you can be the one marrying us," she recalled.
Gibbon said he was honored that two former students would want him presiding at one of the most significant moments in their lives.
"Until you do it, you don't know what a huge responsibility it is. It's not like teaching a class or anything," Gibson said. "I was the most nervous person there."
Religious relevance
At one time, it was illegal for instant ministers to officiate a marriage.
Online ordination led the State of Utah to take the Universal Life Church to court in 2001. However, a
U. S. District Court judge ruled that a Utah law that prohibited Internet and mail-order ordinations violated the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which bans government from favoring one religion or barring the exercise of any religion.
If somebody who isn't a religious authority signs the marriage certificate in Kansas, statutes still say they can be fined $100 or jailed for six months. Yet with a couple clicks of the mouse, anyone can be a minister.
"If you can ordain your pet goldfish, there's obviously not much control on it," Professor Miller said.
That means ministers can be a self-described "immature jackass," like Ryckert, a respected professor, like El-Hodiri, or a sensitive woman like Coker, who donates her ministry earnings to the homeless.
At ceremonies she officiates.
Coker likes to recite Native American
prayers. One of her favorites for weddings says, "Go now to your dwelling place, to enter into the days of your togetherness, and may your days be good and long upon the earth." That's part of the "Benediction of the Apaches," she explained.
"You can be funky and way out there with it," Coker said, "or you can use it like I do."
Rev. Lewis-Jones, who was cyber-ordained by the Universal Life Church on Feb. 5, 2007, while conducting research for this article, is not available for funerals, baptisms or blessings and expects that the only person he will marry will be his future wife.

WAR IN IRAQ
War is lost, surge not accomplishing anything'
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday the war in Iraq is "lost," triggering an angry backlash by Republicans who said the top Democrat had turned his back on the troops.
The bleak assessment was the sharpest yet from Reid, who has vowed to send President Bush legislation calling for combat to end next year.
Reid said he told Bush on Wednesday that he thought the war could not be won through military force and only through political, economic and diplomatic means.
"I believe myself that the secretary of state, secretary of defense and — you have to make your own decisions as to what the president knows — (know) this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday," said Reid (D-Nev.)
their lives every day, are going to react when they get back to base and hear that the Democrat leader of the United States Senate has declared the war is lost," said Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, (R-Ky.)
The exchange came as the House headed toward a vote Thursday on whether to demand that troops leave Iraq next year. Last month, the House passed legislation that funded the war in Iraq but ordered combat missions to end by September 2008.
The Senate passed similar, less-sweeping legislation that would set a nonbinding goal of bringing combat troops home by March 31, 2008.
The Pentagon says it has enough money to pay for the Iraq war through June.
The Army is taking "prudent measures" aimed at ensuring that delays in the bill financing the war do not harm troop readiness, according to instructions sent to Army commanders and budget officials April 14.

The fires in southeast Georgia threatened the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, one of the nation's best-preserved wetland areas, with one reaching the outer edges of the refuge, said Eric Mosley, spokesman for the Georgia Forestry Commission.

PET FOOD RECALL
FDA investigates chemical 'spiking'
BY ANDREW BRIDGES ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - Imported ingredients used in recalled pet food may have been intentionally spiked with an industrial chemical to boost their apparent protein content, federal officials said Thursday.
That's one theory being pursued by the Food and Drug Administration as it investigates how the chemical, melamine, contaminated at least two ingredients used to make more than 100 brands of dog and cat foods.
So far, melamine's been found in both wheat gluten and rice protein concentrate imported from China. Media reports from South Africa
suggest a third pet food ingredient, corn gluten, used in that country also was contaminated with melamine. That tainted ingredient has not been found in the United States, the FDA said.
"What we expect to do with our inspections in China will answer some of those questions." said Michael Rogers, director of the division of field investigations within the FDA's office of regulatory affairs.
Wilbur-Ellis Co., the U.S. importer of the tainted rice protein, said Thursday it was recalling all the ingredient it had distributed to five U.S. pet food manufacturers. The San Francisco company in turn urged its customers to recall any products that may be on store shelves.
tamination was deliberate.
Chinese authorities have told the FDA that the wheat gluten was an industrial product not meant for pet food, Sundlof said. Still, melamine can skew test results to make a product appear more protein-rich than it really is, he added. That raises the possibility the con-
"Melamine was found in all three of those. It would certainly lend credibility to the theory that it may be intentional. That will be one of the theories we will pursue when we get into the plants in China", Stephen Sundlof, the FDA's chief veterinarian, told reporters.
So far, just two of those companies have done so: Natural Balance Pet Foods and Blue Buffalo Co.
"Melamine was found in all three of those. It would certainly lend credibility to the theory that it may be intentional."

FDA investigators, meanwhile, are awaiting visas that would allow them to visit the Chinese plants where the vegetable protein ingredients were produced.

dry cat food.
Blue Buffalo, of Wilton, Conn. followed Thursday by recalling 5,044 bags of its Spa Select Kitten dry food.
Calif. announced a limited recall Monday of its Venison and Brown Rice canned and bagged dog foods, Venison and Brown Rice dog treats and Venison and Green Pea
The company intercepted most of the kitten food before it reached distribution centers,company cofounder Billy Bishop said.
FDA officials would not release the names of the other two manufacturers that Wilbur-Ellis supplied, citing its ongoing investigation.
The FDA and Agriculture Department also were investigating whether some pet food made by one of the five companies supplied by Wilbur-Ellis was diverted for use as hog feed after it was found unsuitable for pet consumption.

one of the projects she's funding
in Malawi.
MASEKESE, Malawi — Madonna wore a T-shirt proclaiming "Love" and danced to the rhythm of a pop song at the opening of a day care
The 48-year-old singer, who carried toddler David Banda in her arms, was greeted by singing children as she toured the center, run by local charity Consol Homes.
14 months old, from an orphanage in Malawi in October and took him to her London home. She is hoping to adopt the child.
Her latest visit is to check on projects run by her Raising Malawi organization.
"You should not expect much from me alone,but we are working together as a partnership."
Madonna picked up David, then
Local children performed the Paul Simon-Joseph Shabalala hit "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes," playing traditional instruments and singing.
MADONNA Musician
"You should not expect much from me alone, but we are working together as a partnership," she told local officials.
Consol Homes Director Jacinta Chapomba said parents would be able to bring their children to the center knowing they would receive a basic education and food.
The center will eventually provide education and food for up to 4,000 children from surrounding rural areas.
Tight security accompanied Madonna on her visit this week, and it was unclear whether she had met with David's father, who sent him to an orphanage after the boy's mother died. Yohane Banda said he was too poor to care for his son.
Madonna, who is married to filmmaker Guy Ritchie, has two other children, 9-year-old Lourdes and 6-year-old Rocco.

FACE/OFF: ABSTINENCE-ONLY EDUCATION
It refuses to adapt to an ever-changing world
A recent study commissioned by Congress revealed last week what pragmatists have long suspected: that abstinence-only sex education is failing. The study found that students who participated in abstinence education programs were not only just as likely as non-participants to have sex, but also frequently had the same number of sexual partners.
Programs that promote abstinence more than safe sex have been criticized for years as ignorant and wholly impractical, and perhaps even dangerous, in their opposition to birth control. Not surprisingly, the debate has often been heated and fraught with theological implications. Further, the implementation and execution of abstinence programs in American schools has cost taxpayers around $175 million a year, making it an issue that affects every taxed American.
Though many critics will tell you differently, the primary problem of abstinence education has never been its admittedly unsettling religious overtones, which can come perilously close to religious education in public schools. The real problem with abstinence education is that it is rooted in absolutism, and thus refuses to acknowledge both adaptations and realities of the evolving world around it.
The programs make one dangerous assumption: that with proper motivation, hormone-saturated teenagers can be convinced to overcome their most primal urges. This goal is noble in purpose and perhaps someday achievable in practice, but, as this study confirms, has proven both impractical and costly in practice.
In the face of increasing teenage sexual activity, the answer is not to retreat into a shell of blind ignorance of the world around us. Uncomfortable though it may make us, educators must acknowledge and address practical solutions.
The roads of history are littered with institutions and organizations that refused to adapt to changing realities - sex education is
too integral to children's health to become one of those institutions.
The study did include one positive note: students in abstinence programs were no more likely to have unprotected sex than those in other programs. A criticism of abstinence programs has been that their ignorance of birth control can lead to more unprotected sex, but this study dispels that point. At the very least, we can take solace in this result of abstinence programs.
Abstinence-only programs may someday be suitable in American education, but for now they have proven too costly and too unfeasible. Proponents of such programs would do well to recall the strange and new tension of their own teenage years, and to recognize that absolute and unilateral solutions rarely fit complicated health dilemmas.

The recent findings about the failure of abstinence-only education shouldn't be surprising, for several reasons. First, there's the question of how much classroom content is remembered or understood at all. Frequent dismal test scores show that understanding it well enough for a test is hard enough, let alone in the heat of a puppy-love moment. Could you currently pass your 11th-grade history final? Diagram a sentence?
Then there's the matter of what abstinence education has to compete with. Any women's magazine is replete with advertisements for the pill. Rap songs, pop songs, rock songs, jingles, commercials, and most prime-time TV shows feature sex as a primary subject, object, end-goal, punchline and selling point. Teenagers — who, as a demographic, spend enormous amounts of time on the Internet — are bombarded with advertisements for lotion that makes your skin sexier; pills that make your penis larger; perfume that makes you irresistible. How can some stodgy lesson about the satisfaction of hand-holding
It can't. But that doesn't mean we — as parents, teachers or taxpayers — should throw up our hands and say, "They're going to do it anyway — might as well slip a condom in the bookbag."
Because teenagers, despite the raging hormones and those godawful moments of angst — aren't idiots, and they aren't animals driven exclusively by hormones. In every civilization but our post-World War II Western one, teenagers were expected to have jobs, help support a family, get married and have children. That a person reaches adult size and proportions at that age isn't an unfortunate mistake; it's a biological indication of some adult capability.
To be sure, a return to arranged marriages for 16-year-olds would be awful, and all those other civilizations had less freedoms and equality. Also, teenagers are often hysterical, emotional and impulsive — which is why they can't buy alcohol and are tried differently for crimes.
So it's not that teenagers aren't capable of waiting. Holding off on sex isn't as difficult as running into a burning house. Though more education about sex is better than less, abstinence isn't a lost cause.
But they are capable of making difficult decisions. Last year, a
Reducing teenage pregnancy, STI's and out-of-wedlock children are essential goals. But an attitude that those things are inescapable without contraception is extremely dangerous. It's insulting and demeaning and lends itself too easy to excuses and a lack of accountability.
Before calling for a hold on abstinence-only education, consider the danger of telling 7 percent of the population they can't control what they do.

Shooter showed an indifference worse than hate
Shootings indicate tragic absence of belief and value
On Monday morning, Cho Seung-hui left his dorm room at Virginia Tech with two handguns and proceeded to brutally murder 32 people. He then committed suicide.
10
BY PATRICK LUIZ SULLIVAN
DE OLIVEIRA
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
School shootings have happened before. Columbine and the University of Texas in 1966 are both well-known examples. What is troubling about school massacres similar to Virginia Tech is their apparent nihilism — their lack of adherence to any belief or value. When a student opens fire against his colleagues there is no struggle against authority attached, no idealistic answer in the stains of blood.
The tragedy of school massacres is that there is a loss of value in the lives of the victims and murderers alike. The victim's life loses value as soon as he or she is shot indiscriminately. As the bullets pierce through the victim's flesh, he or she is deprived of individual significance, becoming one in the mass of 32.
There is only the sickening feeling that nothing will ever be enough to comprehend that act. Every single person connected to the 33 killed will have to live with that feeling forever.
A crime of passion has an exquisite human element; there is some kind of connection between victim and assailant. But, in the case of school shootings there is no relationship, healthy or twisted, between the victims and the
shooter. Even hate, when directed at someone, recognizes that person's individuality, but Cho did not hate those 32 people as individuals. He was simply indifferent to them, something even sadder.
The murderer's life, as a part of humanity, lost its value long before he committed the atrocity. To engage in this kind of mindless destruction a person must first lose his or her sense of belonging - both to the community and to the overall human existence. That is why at the end the shooter turned the gun at himself.
People across the political spectrum will try to politicize this tragedy. Arguments for both stronger and more lenient gun control laws are already being made. However, these are not silver bullet solutions. Although school massacres are relatively rare, the phenomenon is almost exclusively American
- countries with both more liberal or stricter gun laws do not experience them in the same degree.

Even if we were to classify these individuals as mentally ill, it still does not explain the geographic concentration of the tragedies. Perhaps it is the local sociological expression of a greater world trend of violence, which includes the high suicide rates in former Soviet states and the mindless violence perpetrated in large cities in Brazil.
There is always a search for meaning in the midst of a tragedy. What caused Cho Seung-hui to brutally murder these 32 individuals? The paradox when of these nihilistic actions is that they do not have a nihilistic origin in itself — something meaningful caused Cho to act as if nothing were meaningful. Something went incredibly wrong in his relationship with human beings; something that made the bond that intrinsically connects humans to each other — and forms the wonderful and diverse human race — break. Cho did not feel part of this patchwork.
Perhaps through this tragedy we can learn to value, celebrate and strengthen the connection we share with our fellow humans, and hope that by doing that we prevent further tragedies. That is all that is left: Hope.

Experts call Cho Seung-Hui 'textbook case' of school shooter
Violence has familiar marks
BY MATT APUZZO AND
SHARON COHEN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Virginia Tech Marching Band serenades patients at the Montgomery Regional Hospital on Thursday in Blacksburg, Va. Several of the Virginia Tech shooting victims opened their windows and waved to the band.
When he finally did one day, his classmates laughed, pointed at him and said: "Go back to China."
As such details of Cho's life come out, and experts pore over his sick and twisted writings and his video-taped rant, it is becoming increasingly clear that Cho was almost a textbook case of a school shooter: a painfully awkward, picked-on young man who lashed out with methodical fury at a world he believed was out to get him.
BLACKSBURG, Va. — In high school, Cho Seung-Hui almost never opened his mouth.
Montgomery Regional Hospital
VIRGINIA TECH
When criminologists and psychologists look at mass murders, Cho fits the themes they see repeatedly: a friendless figure, someone who has been bullied, someone who blames others and is bent on revenge, a careful planner, a male. And someone who sent up warning
was his turn, said Chris Davids, a Virginia Tech senior and high school classmate.
"In virtually every regard, Cho Is prototypical of mass killers that I've studied in the past 25 years," said Northeastern University criminal justice professor James Alan Fox, coauthor of 16 books on crime. "That doesn't mean, however, that one could have predicted his rampage."
After the teacher threatened him with an F for participation, Cho began reading in a strange, deep voice that sounded "like he had something in his mouth", Davids said.
"The whole class started laughing and pointing and saying, 'Go back to China,'" Davids said.
Stephanie Roberts, 22, a classmate of Cho's at Westfield High, said she never witnessed anyone picking on Cho in high school. But she said friends of hers who went to middle school with him told her they recalled him getting bullied there.
"There were just some people who were really mean to him and they would push him down and laugh at him." Roberts said. "He didn't speak English really well and they would really make fun of him."
Once, in English class at Westfield High School in Chantilly, Va., when the teacher had the students read aloud, Cho looked down when it
He was accused of stalking two women and photographing female students in class with his cell phone. And his violence-filled writings were so disturbing he was removed from one class, and professors begged him to get counseling.
Regan Wilder, 21, who attended Virginia Tech, high school and middle school with Cho, said she was sure Cho probably was picked on in middle school, but so was everyone else. And it didn't seem as if English was the problem for him, she said. If he didn't speak English well, there were several other Korean students he could have reached out to for friendship, but he didn't.
Cho, who killed 32 people and committed suicide Monday, cast himself in his video diatribe as a persecuted figure like Jesus Christ. Cho, who came to the U.S. at about age 8 in 1992 and whose parents work at a dry clearers in suburban Washington, also ranted against rich "brats" with Mercedes, gold necklaces, cognac and trust funds.
Classmates in Virginia, where Cho grew up, said he was teased and picked on, apparently because of shyness and his strange, murribly way of speaking.
Among other things, the 23-year-old South Korean immigrant was sent to a psychiatric hospital and pronounced an imminent danger to himself.
signs with his strange behavior long in advance.
He rarely looked anyone in the eye and did not even talk to his own roommates.
》 LAWRENCE
The 47-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of three counts of aggravated criminal threat. He lived in a Lawrence apartment where authorities say they recovered the phone used to make the threats. No bomb-making materials were found, Lawrence police Capt. David Cobb said.
Man arrested for calling bomb threat
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAWRENCE — Police arrested a man accused of making vague threats Thursday that prompted dozens of schools, already nervous after the shooting rampage at Virginia Tech, to increase their security, authorities said.
At one point Thursday, Lawrence schools Superintendent Randy Weseman said all entrances and exits to each of the district's 15 elementary school buildings, four junior highs and two high schools were monitored.
Cobb said the man was not affiliated with a school and did not provide a motive.
"We don't believe the threats were really meant for the schools," Cobb said. "That was something he used to get everyone's attention."
At least three elementary schools called off music programs planned for Thursday night, and Southwest Junior High in Lawrence called off a track meet and all other clubs and activities slated for Thursday evening.
"At 6:46 a.m., another call was received and a male voice told telecommunicators there was a bomb at a school and at city hall," police said in a news release.
Officers began investigating after Douglas County Communications began receiving a series of five calls to the 911 center. Nothing was said during the first call, which was made about 5 a.m.
Because the caller did not identify the school or the city that were targets of the threat, several districts were alerted.

BY TAYLOR BERN
At the second day of the Kansas Relays, four Jayhawks came out of Memorial Stadium with victories.
Senior Josh Kirk blew away the competition in the decathlon. He finished with 7,152 points, a 556-point margin of victory.
He won four of the 10 events and his pole-vault height of 15-03 feet was a new outdoor personal record. Kirk's point total will give him a chance to qualify for the NCAA regional meet.
Junior Egor Agafonov had no trouble taking the title in the hammer throw, finishing at 227-05, more than 20 feet better than second place.
The 2007 NCAA indoor weight throw champion avenged his second-place finish at last year's Kansas Relays, and enjoyed the support from the stands from fellow Russian and men's basketball player Sasha Kaun.
Sophomore Zlata Tarasova made it a Kansas sweep of the hammer throw with her toss of 203-02.
Four of Tarasova's six throws would have been good enough to win the event.
In the 3,000-meter steeplechase, sophomore Victor Chesang used a smart game plan and a late surge to take the gold.
"It's good to win here at home, especially since it has been a while since I have won," Chesang said. "It was a good atmosphere."
The Kansas Relays continue today at the stadium. The first Jayhawk athletes compete at 11:30 a.m. in the women's shot put. The event continues through Saturday.

Texting recruits could be prohibited
Council votes to restrict text messaging, awaits approval from board of directors
BY MARK DENT
"How many pts did u, scor last nite?"
"U should com 2 visit my school
;) "
Text messages like these have become as much a staple in the recruiting world as scouting reports and the ABCD Camp. But coaches might have to say "TTFN" to their texting ways.
The NCAA Management Council voted to restrict coaches from sending text messages to recruits earlier this week. The Council meets with the board of directors April 26 to gain approval. If the rule passes, it will take effect in August.
Bonnie Henrickson belongs in the latter group. She frequently sends text messages to prospects.
Some Kansas coaches support the decision, while others aren't as excited.
"It's at an all-time high now," Henrickson said. "There isn't a day that goes by that I don't text."
Henrickson would be at a disadvantage if she didn't. Women's basketball was the first sport to use it as a recruiting tool. Right now texting is only disallowed on a prospect's game day. That lack of limitation gives coaches the chance to sell their school when they can't call or visit in
person, actions that are regulated by the NCAA.
Henrickson said she texted to build early relationships with recruits and to get them to call her (athletes can call coaches without violating NCAA rules). The first message she always sends is to ask if the prospect is comfortable with text messaging. She said she only texted to the athlete
"If it's costing them money, we're not going to do that," Henrickson said. "But some people might not be as conscientious of it as we are."
wanted to and had an unlimited text messaging plan.
She's right. Not all coaches are as responsible with texting as Henrickson. That's one reason the NCAA wants to do away with text messages. With no rules for texting, there's nothing to stop a coach from running up an athlete's phone bill.
"I've been through it with my own kids," Francis said. "They're going over the amount of messages they're allowed."
"The best players are getting 30 to 40 messages a day," Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said. "It's too much on the kids."
Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price only sends text messages on two occasions: to confirm plans for an

"I think it's overrated," Price said. "There's a point where you can turn kids off by repeatedly doing
Freedom could actually be a problem if the new rule passes. Coaches would still have too much of it when it comes to texting. University compliance departments have no way of regulating text messages that coaches send.
it. I respect the kids' freedom.'
"We are very concerned from a compliance standpoint with how in the world we are going to monitor this," said Theresa Becker, associate athletics director for compliance. "They basically would be asking us to document something that would be impossible."
KU's Compliance Department can monitor phone calls. A computer system organizes each call by coach, prospect and date. But it can't track text messages.
Coaches would be the only ones who could report their text messaging. Because there's no way to verify their word, coaches could easily cheat.
If the rule does get passed next week, recruiting will change. Coaches would only be able to contact recruits in dead periods by calling them once a week and sending e-mails or faxes. That doesn't mean coaches won't be able to keep in close contact with recruits without text messaging.
"It boils down to people's integrity and honesty," Becker said. "You hope they do the right things."
"It's just an additional form of communication," Henrickson said. "It has its purpose, but it's not the only way."

BY RUSTIN DODD
The Jayhawks struggling offense has caused the team to drop five consecutive games, including a two-game sweep at the hands of rival Missouri on Wednesday.
For 30 consecutive innings the Kansas softball team's bats have gone scoreless.
On deck for the layhawks is a Texas Tech team that stopped an eight-game slide with a win against Iowa State last weekend. Kansas, 27-18-1, and 3-8 in the Big 12, has beaten Texas Tech (18-21, 1-7) seven straight times.
On the offensive side, Kansas's leading hitter, sophomore Stevie
Crisosto, saw her average fall to .317 after a 0-6 series against Missouri. Freshman Amanda Jobe and senior Nicole Washburn have been providing the hot bats as of late. Both Jobe and Washburn have hits safely in four of their last six games.
Despite the offensive woes, the Kansas pitching staff had a strong showing against Missouri, surrendering only four runs in 13 innings pitched. Senior Kassie Humphreys (13-10) delighted in the second Missouri game, sprinkling four hits and a run in seven innings.
Coach Tracy Burge will call on Humphreys to help Kansas break out its five-game funk.
The game will start at 2 p.m. Saturday, while the Sunday contest will begin at noon.

ROWING
Minnesota looms large Crew prepared following Knecht Cup
BY CATHERINE ODSON
The Kansas rowing team will follow last week's East Coast competition by facing a single Midwestern powerhouse: Minnesota.
Minnesota's first varsity eight boat is ranked No. 8 in this week's U.S. Rowing poll. That ranking may or may not describe the strength of the entire team, coach Rob Catloth said.
"Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't," he said. "They're deep across the board. They're a really strong team."
The regatta begins at 10 a.m. on Lake Lanfein in St. Paul, Minn.
boston also competed at last year's regatta. Kansas placed third in the first varsity eight, 13.25 seconds behind first-place Minnesota. Kansas' second novice eight won its race, but every other boat finished last. The Jayhawks' goal this year is to get as close to the Gophers as possible, which will help them in the first regional rankings that come out next week.
Senior rower Tiffany jeffers said the boat would be trying to get
closer to Minnesota than region foes Wisconsin and Iowa did last weekend. The Gophers won both races by about nine seconds.
With the race on Lake Phalen, the Jayhawks will race on a lake for the first time this season. But Catloth said the water conditions would be similar to those of the Knecht cup in Camden, N.J.
"The boat bounces around a lot more, but it shouldn't make a difference on boat speed," Catloth said.
The Jayhawks first varsity eight boat finished fourth of 29 boats at the Knecht Cup, which featured many traditionally strong rowing programs.
"Last weekend was a good confidence builder," Jeffers said. "We just felt as a boat what it was like to race really hard and how to get there again."

The crew club will compete in Topeka this weekend at the Great Plains Rowing Championships. The team also continues to prepare for the Dad Vail Regatta on May 11 and 12 at Schuylkill River, Penn. It is the largest collegiate regatta in the United States.
"We start crew in August, working towards going to Dad Vail," Rogers said. "That's where we go to compete for the national standings."

TENNIS
Slumping tennis team to end regular season
BY RUSTIN DODD
A lot has happened in the last 41 days.
The Kansas men's basketball team lost to UCLA in the regional final. The football team had its spring game. But one thing hasn't happened.
The Kansas tennis team hasn't notched a single victory. The team — winless since March 10 — will take a seven-dual losing streak into its regular season finale against No. 21 Texas A&M on Sunday.
To keep the streak from reaching eight, Kansas has to beat Texas A&M, which sits at 17-5, and 7-2 in the Big 12, following a 4-3 loss to Texas on Wednesday. In addition, Texas &A M owns three 7-0 victories against opponents that beat KU this season — Missouri, Texas Tech and Colorado.
Senior Anna Lubinsky leads the way for the Aggies at No.1 singles. Lubinsky, a former first-team AllBig 12 selection, is ranked 24th in country in singles.
Kansas, attempting to rebound after a 4-3 loss to Oklahoma on Wednesday, is trying to avoid a second 16-loss season in three years. While doubles woes have been the season-long foil for the Jayhawks, it was poor singles play that doomed Kansas to its seventh straight loss. Both the No. 1 doubles duo of junior Elizaveta
Avdeeva and sophomore Edina Horvath and the No. 2 duo of junior Lauren Hommell and freshman Kunigunda Dorn gained victories, but Kansas lost four out of the dual's six singles matches.
A loss on Sunday would give Kansas an 11th place finish in the conference, meaning Kansas would play the sixth seed in the first round of the Big 12 Championships on April 26. That scenario would mean a rematch with Oklahoma if the season ended today.
While the team sits at the bottom of the conference, Avdeeva, Horvath and sophomore Yuliana Swistun can climb up the Big 12 individual rankings Sunday. If Swistun wins on Sunday, she will finish with a 9-2 conference record at No. 5 singles, guaranteeing her at least a tie for the top mark in the conference at No. 5 singles. Svistun is 14-5 overall this spring.
Adeveena and Horvath are sitting at 7-3 in conference, with the No.28 doubles team in the country — Sarah Foster and Tiffany Clifford of Texas A&M — looming on Sunday. A victory would guarantee that they finish no lower than second at No.1 doubles.

BOXING
Meet TV's newest dysfunctional family
Floyd Mayweather Jr. agrees to participate in HBO boxing reality show
BY TIM DAHLBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS
There's whackings, and 'then there's just plain wacky.
Watch "The Sopranos" on Sunday nights, and you're sure to see one. Stay tuned to HBO a half hour later and you'll get the other.
Some 1.4 million U.S. households did just that the other night, and for many it was their first glimpse into the life of Floyd Mayweather Jr., a boxer HBO would love to turn into a household name — and quick.
Oscar De La Hoya is already that, of course, or as much of a household name as anyone who hits another person in the head for money these days can be. He's the Golden Boy, and he's the reason Mayweather will be making millions to fight May 5 for the 154-pound title.
People pay to watch De La Hoya, who has built up a nice franchise for himself as the most popular fighter in the game. Now HBO is betting a prime-time spot that Mayweather will give even more people reason to cough up $54.95 for the fight.
Officially, the title of the show is "De La Hoya/Mayweather 24/7." The premise is that it's a reality show taking you inside the lives of De La Hoya and Mayweather as they prepare for one of the most anticipated fights in recent years.
The run will be short, with only three more episodes planned before the fight itself. But there may be more of a future in this series
than the suits at HBO originally thought.
First, though, a bit of advice for the people at the studio: toss out De La Hoya's part. He's too perfect for reality television, with his instant smile, beautiful wife, singer Millie Corretjer, and sprawling estate in Puerto Rico.
There's only so many times you can watch him drink a cup of espresso, watch the Masters on television or play with his five dogs. It's cute when he spars playfully with his wife, but the only drama in his life comes when he steps into the ring.
Bring in Mayweather and his clan, though, and you've got mustsee Sundav night TV.
Mayweather, you see, is the bad guy in this fight promotion, and he plays his part well. He taunts De La Hoya, calls him names you can't repeat here or on network TV, and even went so far as to steal his bag during their 11-city tour promoting the fight.
He's been kind of a bad boy in real life, too, even while building a 37-0 record and'a reputation as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Mayweather likes to toss $100 bills around in nightclubs, has been in and out of courtrooms, and fancies himself as a sort of rap producer.
At one point in the first show, Mayweather is shown with his entourage getting a haircut in his Las Vegas mansion. Through a
doorway comes raiser 50 Cent, riding a Segway into the scene.
"He's the villain in rap music," Mayweather says. "I'm the villain in boxing."
Rappers are ing, but it's Mayweather's relationship with his family that makes the most compelling TV. They're the first family of boxing, but this family is more dysfunctional
usually interest-
"(50 Cent) is the villain in rap music. I'm the villain in boxing."
mercial than a reality series. Maybe that's because I already know the principal players and the story lines, and it took a good half hour to introduce those who don't to the various plots and subplots.
than the one run by Tony Soprano.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER, JR.
Boxer
His father is an ex-con and exfighter who spouts his own form of homegrown poetry and trains fighters. Floyd Sr. trained De La Hoya for five years and was going to help him beat up his son, but De La Hoya wouldn't meet his $2 million salary demand.
Mayweather's uncle is also an excon and ex-fighter who now trains fighters. Roger Mayweather was in jail much of the past year, but got out just in time to resume training Floyd Jr. for this fight.
Son and father didn't talk for years before reconciling a few months ago. Father and uncle still don't talk, which makes for some interesting moments in the gym.
Reality TV doesn't get any more real than this.
Actually, to me, the first show seemed almost more like an info-
But the 40 percent or so of viewers who stayed 'tuned after"Entourage" still got a taste of what's to come, and there's promises of better stuff ahead.
Will Floyd Jr.
and Floyd Sr. regain their father-son relationship? Will Floyd Sr. and Roger start talking to each other? Will Floyd Jr. allow his father to work his corner in the fight? Will 50 Cent fall off his Segway?
Will De La Hoya throw a fit if his espresso machine breaks?
Give HBO credit for doing the show, even if it is a bit self-serving since the network is trying to sell a fight for its pay-per-view division. Boxing is in a world of hurt these days, and anything the network can do to get people talking about it again is a positive for the sport.
The fight itself will be one of the biggest in years, and should Mayweather win as the oddsmakers expect him to, he could rival De La Hoya as the biggest draw in boxing.
Especially if those new reality show offers start coming in.
PGA TOUR
Rookie wants to be next circuit first-timer
BY BRETT MARTEL ASSOCIATED PRESS
AVONDALE, La. - Never heard of Kyle Reifs?
Neither had numerous people in the gallery in the opening round of the Zurich Classic, whom Reifers could hear mispronouncing his name.
Teeing off for only his eighth time on the PGA Tour, Reifers (pronounced RYE-furs, for future reference) shot a course-record 8-under 64 on the 7,341-yard TPC Louisiana on Thursday, giving him a two-shot lead.
Tim Petrovic, who won the only other PGA Tour event held on this course in 2005, finished his round in a four-way tie for fourth at 67, along with Lucas Glover, Jason Schultz and Tom Johnson.
His closest challenger was seasoned pro and 1989 British Open champion Mark Calcavecchia, who shot a 66. Calcavecchia acknowledged that even he did not know much about the man he was chasing.
The PGA Tour stop in New Orleans has a way of bringing out the best in guys who've never won on the tour. And if Reifers keeps this up, hed become the fifth tour pro to take his first victory in New Orleans in the last six years.
"I know what he looks like," Calcavecchia said. "Ive introduced myself to him."
The freckle-faced rookie, thick hair curling in from under the
sides and back of his baseball cap,
emerged from the scoring tent having
no idea he had just broken the course record of 65, set in 2005 by Chris DiMarco and Arun Atwal.
"That's the least of my worries," Reifers said. "It doesn't really mean much to me right now. ... At the end of the week, hopefully it will mean a lot."
Reifers barely emerged from last year's PGA Tour qualifying tournament with his tour card for 2007, making an 18-foot putt in the final stage to tie for 29th. No one who finished worse qualified for this year's tour.
At the same time, it's not as if he came out of nowhere. The Wake Forest graduate finished second in the 2006 NCAA championship, then turned pro immediately, winning a Tar Heel Tour event in Charlotte, N.C., the next week. One week after that, he won his first Nationwide Tour event at Chattanooga, Tenn., where he also set a course record with a 61 on the final round and sank a 15-foot put to win in a playoff hole.
This year, he has entered six prior events, making the cut in three of them and cracking the top 25 only once, when he tied for 12th at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando a month ago.
KANSANCLASSIFIEDS
Thursday night marked the first time he would try to fall asleep knowing he was in the lead of a PGA Tour event.
"I'm more happy than nervous." Reifers said.

BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Jayhawks in coach Ritch Price's time at Kansas. The Jayhawks dropped the second game of the two-game series Wednesday night in Wichita. The loss was a tough one, said the game's starting pitcher Andres Esquibel, but the close 2-1 margin of defeat actually gave the Jayhawks a little momentum.
"I know definitely if we had won this game, we would have been going in there doing pretty good," Esquibel "said on Wednesday. "I think after doing well here and knowing that we can play, and pitch and field, I think we're going to do really this weekend."
Because Kansas faces an opponent enduring similar struggles, Esquibel's words could ring true. Though Texas Tech has a commanding 22-10 all-time record against Kansas, the Red Raiders have not won a series against the Jayhawks since 2004.
Both squads are also striving to reach consistency at the plate, but have yet to completely reach it. Kansas is at the .281 mark as a team, whereas Tech is at .288. On the opposite side of the ball, each is facing a 5.00 ERA. The Jawhawks are just under it at 4.91 as a staff for the advantage over the Red Raiders' 5.23.
Both bring, similar strengths to this weekend's match-up, as well. Red Raider right-handed starter AJ Ramos (7-2, 4.48) ranks fourth in the Big 12 with 63 strikeouts, while his Friday counterpart, lefty Andy Marks (3-4, 6.87) is tied for first with 68.
Marks and junior lefty Zach Ashwood will welcome left-handed freshman Wally Marcel to the rotation this weekend. Marcel is slated to start Sunday after tossing three scoreless innings of relief against
Wichita State on Wednesday.
The three will have their hands full with the Red Raider lineup. They don't have many victories to show for it, but three of the starting nine nitters are at the 10-home run mark. Outfielder Roger Kiesnick leads the way with a .329 average and 39 runs scored. Catcher Matt Smith, another Red Raider with 10 home runs, leads the team with 37 RBI.
On the Jayhawks' side, junior right fielder Brock Simpson leads the team with 33 RBI, despite posting just a .260 average. Simpson was the only Jayhawk to score in their last time out, which was an offensively sluggish game not expected to be repeated.
"They had some good arms on the mound, but this club is pretty offensive", said sophomore catcher Buck Afenir, one of four Jayhawks to collect a hit on Wednesday. "So I think it was just a cold night with the bats."

Seniors say goodbye at ceremony

For an awards ceremony being held in honor of the 2006-07 Kansas women's basketball season, there sure was a lot of talk about the future.

Fans may have been surprised by Katie Smith winning the "Ms. Jayhaw Award," but anyone associated with the program knew she was

the award and when asked if she was deserving, Henrickson showed no hesitation with her answer.
"Absolutely," she said, "she is incredibly selfless. She takes on whatever role we ask her to"
Shaquina Mosley was recognized for her selection to the All Big 12 Second Team, but more importantly gave fans something to cheer about during the two videos shown.
Mosley's shot under the basket with .4 seconds left to beat the Texas Longhorns was shown four times during the ceremony. It served as an unforgettable moment in an otherwise forgettable 11-20 season.
"If you know me well, you know I have a dry and sarcastic sense of humor," Henrickson said. "If we would have played half as good as we look tonight, we would have won a lot more games."
That was the only cynical statement all night. The focus was clearly on the legacy Smith and Mosley left after they fought through adversity to lead Kansas to five wins in its last nine games.
Even with the gloomy feeling of having to say goodbye, the excitement for what the future entails was undeniable.
"I hope to be remembered as a person instead of just a defensive stopper," Sharita Smith said. "I want to be remembered as the teammate that was always there."
"Late Night will be here before you know it," Henrickson said.

Oden declares himself eligible for draft
BY RUSTY MILLER ASSOCIATED PRESS
"There will be a release in the morning from Ohio State. Greg Oden will be hiring an agent," said Al Powell, who has been a party to meetings between Oden and two other Buckeyes freshmen stars considering the draft.
As for the two others, Powell was less specific.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State freshman Greg Oden will make himself available for the NBA draft Friday, a family friend said Thursday night.
"Mike Conley Jr. and Daequan Cook will not be hiring an agent at this time," said Powell, a paid assistant coach at Dayton's Dunbar High School who helped coach all three players when they played AAU ball.
If Conley and Cook don't hire agents, they'll retain the option of returning to school next fall. College underclassmen have until midnight April 29 to declare whether they intend to make themselves available for the draft.
Dunbar coach Pete Pullen Cook's high school coach and the current coach of Oden's brother, Anthony also said Oden would be announcing his intention to enter the draft Friday and that the other two players hadn't yet decided whether to hire agents.
Ohio State spokesman Dan Wallenberg said Thursday night that he was unaware of any announcement from Ohio State or any news conference regarding the three players involving the university.
- "I think Greg is making the right choice for him and his future," Pullen said.
Coach Thad Matta was unavailable because he's out on the road recruiting players.
The decision to enter the draft is not irreversible until players sign with an agent. Players can work out for NBA teams and gauge interest as long as they do not have an agent and have until June 18 to withdraw their names from the draft pool.
They could still retain their Ohio State eligibility at that point.
The players are expected to be represented by Conley's father, Mike Conley Sr. He won the Olympic gold medal in the triple jump in 1992 in Barcelona.
In addition to running a company Sport Chicago that helped garner that city the U.S. bid for the 2016 Summer Games, he also has created another sports-representa $ ^{a} $
tion company Mac Management Group and applied to the NBA to be a plaver agent.
A message seeking comment was left at his business number Thursday night.
Oden, who turned 19 on Jan. 22, is a two-time player of the year in high school who lived up to all of that promise after getting a late start at Ohio State.
He and Conley friends and teammates since the sixth grade in Terre Haute, Ind. led Lawrence North High School in Indianapolis to three consecutive state championships and a 103-7 record.
Cook signed with Ohio State first and helped coax Conley and Oden to join him.
Oden underwent surgery on his right (shooting) wrist to reattach ligaments on June 16, 2006.
MEMORIAL KU athletics distributes Virginia Tech T-shirts
LAWRENCE — More than 700 athletes, coaches, trainers and staff from the University of Kansas will honor the victims of the Virginia Tech shootings on Friday by wearing orange and maroon Virginia Tech T-shirts during the day.
The idea was brought to Athletic Director Lew Perkins by women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson.
Associated Press
The school announced that 500 shirts would be distributed, but Henrickson estimated that the number would grow to over 700 because others, including janitors, have asked to wear a shirt.

>> CRICKET MURDER
BY ROHAN POWELL ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jamaican authorities investigate players
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Pakistan cricket players could be called to testify next week at a coroner's inquest into the homicide of team coach Bob Woolmer at the World Cup, a senior Jamaican investigator said Thursday
Woolmer was found unconscious in his hotel room March 18 and pronounced dead at a hospital the morning after his powerhouse Pakistani squad was upset by Ireland on St. Patrick's Day.
A pathologist who conducted Woolmer's autopsy initially ruled that the cause of the death was inconclusive but four days later determined he had been strangled.
His death shocked the global cricket fraternity and cast a pall over the World Cup, being played in nine Caribbean countries through late April.
Deputy Police Commissioner Mark Shields declined to say which players might be called to give testimony to a coroner's inquiry that begins Monday in the Jamaican capital of Kingston.
Shields, a former Scotland Yard detective, said Jamaican investigators are in the Caribbeah islands of Grenada and Barbados to interview members of the West Indies and Ireland cricket teams, which were staying in the same hotel where the 58-year-old coach was slain.
"Some Pakistani players are expected to be called to the inquest, but I'm not prepared to say who they are," Shields told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
The inquest will be presided over by the Jamaican government coroner, who has declined to speak with the media.
A jury is expected to review testimony from witnesses, some who will testify in person and others through written statements.
Shields has said Woolmer likely knew his killer or killers because there was no sign of forced entry at his hotel room.

Warriors barely sneak in to playoffs

and it'll be a new day and I'll have a new challenge." Warriors coach Don Nelson said. "But at this particular time I'm going to sit back, drink a cold beer and enjoy the moment. Seize the moment, if you will."
"I'm glad it's over. I don't think I will be able to sleep for about two days."

The Warriors did just that, beating Portland 120-98 Wednesday night to clinch the No. 8 seed and their first postseason trip since 1994 — when Nelson was their coach in his previous stint in the Bay Area.

JASON RICHARDSON Warriors guard
the regular season was Chicago, which fell 106-97 in New Jersey. A victory would have given the Bulls the No.2 seed and dropped the Nets to seventh, setting up a first-round series in the Eastern
Conference.
Instead, the Bulls tumbled to fifth after Cleveland beat Milwaukee 109-96.
The Cavaliers grabbed the No. 2 seed and forced Chicago to open the postseason against Miami — which beat the Bulls in six games last year to kick off its run to the title.
"We know that we've been in (the playoffs) for quite a while," Bulls coach Scott Skiles said. "Our seeding came down to this one game and we didn't play very well. There's no reason not to say that because we didn't. We have to get to the gym, get to work and get ready to play Miami."
The Heat are ready, even though the Bulls have home-court advantage this time because of their better record.
"Chicago feels that they can beat us," Heat guard Dwyane Wade said as he watched the final minutes of the Bulls' loss. "Kirk Hincrie came out and said it. We'll find out."
There will be two other rematches from last year in the first round.
The Lakers' 117-106 victory over Sacramento gave them another shot at the Phoenix Suns, who rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat them. Cleveland has a good chance to eliminate Washington again, since the Wizards are without All-Stars Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler.
"They're a team that gave us trouble last time we played them," Cavs coach Mike Brown said. "Eddie Jordan is an experienced coach with an experienced team. They've been to the playoffs the last three, four years, so we have to make sure we have the right mind-frame"

Suspended player has hope
If Williams reinstated, Dolphins may work trade with Rams
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Ricky Williams, who has applied for reinstatement in the NFL after a one-year suspension for substance abuse, could find a home with the St. Louis Rams.
Coach Scott Linehan, the offensive coordinator when Williams played for the Miami Dolphins in 2005, said Thursday he'd consider adding Williams to the roster as a backup. The Rams need depth behind Steven Jackson.
"He's proven himself with me," Linehan said. "I know there would be a certain amount of risk involved based on that, but I would just because he deserves that based on what he was able to do."
Williams, who will turn 30 in May, played in Canada last year and is eligible for reinstatement after April 27. Earlier this month Williams' agent, Leigh
Steinberg, sent a letter asking that he be allowed to return to the Dolphins.
If that request was granted, the Rams would have to work out a trade with Miami.
Williams, a former Heisman

Trophy winner at Texas, rushed for 1,853 and 1,372 yards in 2002 and 2003 with the Dolphins before retiring shortly before training camp in 2004. He returned in 2005 as the
front of teammates who still wanted a piece of him from the year before," Linehan said. "He basically took all of the responsibility for what he did and he didn't make any excuses. He said 'I'm sorry.'"

Linehan said he needed to know more about the details of Williams' latest suspension, the fourth of his career, before going further. Williams has gained 7,097 yards on 1,757
carries with 47 touchdowns during his career.
"I would have to look into it a little bit more," he said. "But based on how he played and the kind of person he was to be around, I would certainly consider it."

relay. Brown made great strides during the indoor season, and at the Texas Relays on April 7, she ran a career-best time of 13.55 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles. Brown has had to deal with injuries in the past, and now that she's healthy, there's few limits to her potential.

For fear of being intimidated, Jiles never looks at whom he'll be racing with before lining up to start, but now competitors need to worry about him just as much as he does them.

She also compete in the long jump of Saturday. Manning is extremely athletic and she's performed as well as anybody during the outdoor season. The Terrell, Texas; native will seriously compete for both titles this weekend.

but it's been tough to get going during the outdoor half because of the weather. Wind and rain kept her sidelined until the John Jacob Invite, where she cleared a regional qualifying height of 13-01 feet. At national, Sultanova tied a Kansas record by clearing 14-01 feet, and she has the ability to approach that height again if she can get the repetitions.

Wissel was one of several winners at the John lacobi Invite last week, taking the 5,000 meters with a time of 14.12.11, just eleven hundredths of a second away from a regional time. On Saturday, Wissel will run unattached in the invitational 1,500 meters, giving him a chance to face professional competition before attempting to get a regional time in the 5,000 meters next week.
Kansas posts high rankings Thursday
Jayhawks sweep hammer throw; personal bests met
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Sophomore Zlata Tarasova's victory in the women's hammer throw made it a clean sweep for the Jayhawks in the event Thursday.
Earlier in the afternoon, her teammate Egor Agafonov won the men's event. In the women's event, Tarasova entered the day seeded second behind Loren Groves of Kansas State, who was competing unattached.
Tarasoula mark of 202-03 was close to her personal best of 204-05.
"I did pretty well," Tarasova said. "We took this as a practice round today."
Although her best mark of the
day came on her last throw, Tarasova had four other throws that would have beaten Groves.
It was Tarasova's second victory in as many weeks.
She won the John Jacobs Invitational last weekend. Her throw of 200-31 feet in the Texas Relays was an NCAA Regional qualifying mark.
Kansas Relays Notes:
Thursday night's distance carnival opened with the women's unseeded 800 meters. Senior Melissa Moody finished in 14th place in a time of 2:18.24. That time is the best of her four-year career at Kansas. Also competing for Kansas was junior Laura Major, who finished 20th in a
time of 2:18.94. It was her best time of the season.
— In the women's 3,000 meters, junior Alicia McGregor recorded a personal record. She ran 18.187 and her previous personal best was 10.36.11.
— Josh Kirk's victory in the steeplechase marked the first time a layhawk had won the two-day event since 2000. The event had not been held the last three years.

Decathlete widens margin of victory during second day
BY TAYLOR BERN
Entering day two of the decathlon, Kansas senior Josh Kirk needed only to maintain his performance from day one to come away with the crown.
Instead he stepped it up a notch and won the pole vault, javelin throw and the overall title with 7,152 total points.
23
While Kirk's prowess in the pole vault led to a comfortable lead, his three-inch edge in the javelin came as a bit of a surprise.
"I did better in all of my weaknesses, and worse on all of my strengths, so I guess that's good news," Kirk said in a press release. "Whenever all of those are up to par, it will be a pretty good score."
Kirk opened the day at 8:30 a.m. with a time of 16.35 seconds in the 110-meter hurdles, good for fourth place. His off-season strength training then paid dividends in the discus with a second place throw of 119-05 feet.
Kirk's third event, the pole vault, is admittedly his best event of the decathlon, and that showed on Thursday as the Olathe native cleared 15-03, a new personal outdoor record.
After that it was smooth sailing.

"I knew I had the victory wrapped up after the pole vault. I was just going strictly for points," Kirk said.
His javelin distance of 185-09 edged out Tulsa's Thomas Stoltz by three inches for first place, and then Kirk closed out his day in the 1,500 meters with a third place time of 4:38.63.
Freshman Jacob Breth finished his first Kansas Relays in sixth place with 5,826 points.
hurdles and then took third in the discus, fourth in the 1,500 meters and set a personal record in the javelin'by more than 30 feet.
The camaraderie of the Kansas Relays is something that really appealed to Breth, a Wichita native.
"We've been hanging out with each other for two days. We talked with, cheered and motivated each other," Breth said. "I just had a great time. I can't wait to do it again."
Breth struggled on the 110-meter
Freshman Chelsea Helm finished the heptathlon with 3,812 points for seventh place.
"There are a couple things I need to work on, but, overall, I was pleased," Helm said. "The corrections I know that I need to make are ones that I'm capable of, so it went OK."
With an eye toward nationals, Kirk's point total puts him right on the cusp of last year's cut-off, and while that's on his mind he's still focused on enjoying himself.
"It's fun, especially here at home," Kirk said. "I had never won the relays in any event, so I'm excited."

Egor Agafanov places first in hammer throw; Sasha Kaun comes out in support of Russian
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
When Egor Agafonov tossed the winning throw in Thursday's Kansas Relays hammer throw competition, his biggest fan was there to watch.
Men's basketball player - Sasha Kaun sat in the stands, a Russian flag draped over his shoulders. He also held a handmade sign that, roughly translated from Russian, meant, "Go Russia. Egor is champion."
"I love the kid," Kaun said after Agafonov wrapped up the victory. "I'm proud of what he's been doing."
He certainly had reason to be happy for his fellow Russian. Agafonov's winning throw, 227-05 feet, was the fourth farthest toss in the nation this year. It was also the second farthest winning toss in relays history.
"I think it was pretty good," Agafonov said. "It's my PR (personal record) this year."
The winning toss came on his third and final throw of the preliminary competition that advanced him to the finals. Agafonov came close to that mark again in the finals, with a throw of 227-03 feet.
It was Agafonov's third win in
'tree tries this season. He won the hammer at his two previous meets, the Texas Relays and John Jacobs Invitational.
Even with the success, his coach, Andy Kokhanovsky, said there was still much for Agafonov to improve on.
"Nobody's perfect," Kokhanovsky said. "He's got a lot to get better at. It all comes down to mental and physical preparation."
Still, based on his performance Thursday, it was hard to find much to critique. Agafonov won the event by more than 20 feet. His closest competitor was Chris Rohr, who was competing unattached from Missouri, who had a best throw of 207-02 feet.
After his final throw, Aganfonov cracked a smile as Kaun approached him. The two friends, who have known each other for two years, laughed as they posed for a photo with the poster and flag.
"All the guys I wanted to watch me were here," he said.

Hefferon places third after hot start during his first 1,500-meter race
BY TAYLOR BERN
In preparation for his first collegiate 10,000-meter race next week, junior Paul Hefferon ran in his first collegiate 1,500-meter race at the Kansas Relays and found out that it's a whole different breed.
Hefferson mistakenly jumped out to an early lead and stayed there for most of the way before running out of gas and dropping back for a third place time of 3:55.22.
"When it started, I tried to go out at what I thought was a moderate pace and it turned out to be a lot faster than it should have been," Hefferon said.
After opening the race with a 13-second 100 meters, when the desired range is 15 to 16 seconds, Hefferon realized that he would have to lead for most of the race.
That played into his hands, however, as Heferon's goal with the race was to increase his power and overwork his "quick-twitch" muscles, which only get used at the end of a
10,000-meter race.
At one point during the race it took the encouragement of teammate Benson Chesang, senior, to keep Hefferon charging toward the front of the pack. Chesang finished the race in fourth place with a time of 3:55.55.
In the final stretch, Hefferon underestimated the speed of Illinois freshman Jared Richardson and Lewis, Ill., senior Andy Tremble, who sprinted past him while he attempted to push to the end.
KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS
Sophomore Victor Chesang, nephew of Benson Chesang, looked impressive in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, jumping over hurdles and through water to win the race in a time of 9:53.16.
Freshmen Kellie Schneider, Casi Sokol and Allison Knoll race in the unseeded 1500-meter run at Memorial Stadium on Thursday night. The four annual Kansas Relays continues through Saturday.
"I calculated when some people took off early," Chesang said. "I was waiting for them until the last and then I did my thing."
Victor was steady through the first half of the race, then charged through the pack in hopes of reaching the front.
Sarah Leonard/KANSAN
In the 3,000 meters, junior Alicia McGregor finished at 10:18.97 for second place, followed by sophomore Hayley Harbert in third with a time of 10:40.17.
McGregor's time is a personal
record by nearly 18 seconds.
Both McGregor and Harbert will run in the 5,000 meters at next week's Drake Relays and used this race as a training session, much like Hefferon.

Roughly 100 volunteers arrived at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St., at 8 a.m. to model in the show. It took all day for seven Lada stylists to do the models' hair and makeup.

Many of the models were KU students, and four talent scouts attended the show to find potential professional models. The four scouts pledged to award $1,400 to one model.

Free-throw contest to benefit diabetics
BY KYLE CARTER
Nearly one hundred people participated in a free-throw contest organized by Christian Moody last weekend at the Lawrence Community Building, 115 W. 11th St. The event benefited the Leo Center, One Riverfront Plaza, Suite 100, where Moody serves as the development director.
Joe Reitz, chief executive officer of the Leo Center, said the proceeds would go to a new program to help uninsured diabetes patients. The program is designed to treat the center's 150-plus patients that suffer from diabetes by providing
healthy food, test strips to gauge their blood sugar levels and opportunities for regular exercise.
Reitz said the program cost $80,000 for the first year. Two grants awarded to the medical clinic cover $17,500 of the cost, and Reitz said he would continue to apply for more. At $20 an entrant, the free-throw contest raised about $2,000 for the program.
Reitz said diabetes care for uninsured patients was an issue in need of attention.

ODD NEWS Police capture alligator sunbathing in town pond
HUNTINGTON, N.Y. — Humans weren't the only species basking in the Northeast's warm weekend weather, as police helped capture a small alligator sunbathing by a small pond in this Long Island town.
It was a startling sight on Saturday in a community just 35 miles from Manhattan. The American alligator is native to the South and it is against New York law to own one, said Ray Gross, chief of the Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Green with yellowish stripes and roughly 2 feet long, the animal appeared to be about 3 years old Gross said.
County police helped capture the alligator, which "wasn't too happy to see us," said Officer Vinny O'Shaunnessy.
"We were incredulous at first,
but then we knew that we had to do something about it," he said.
The SPCA is looking for whoever may have released the alligator. That person could face animal cruelty charges, Gross said.
He said the animal had probably been raised in captivity and would be unable to fend for itself in the wild.

LINCOLN, Neb. — This little piggy had $600. Its rightful owner now has none.

The 8-inch tall pig weighed about 30 pounds and was filled about halfway with personal change, owner Beth Borgmann said Saturday.
Lincoln police had no suspects, but believed the pig was stolen sometime Wednesday evening or early Thursday, Capt. Genelle Moore said.

》 SCHOLARSHIP HALLS
Community center opens for students
Former physical education professor donated house, $300,000 to renovate
BY KATY BLAIR
Scholarship hall students and housing department faculty gathered in anticipation Saturday for the dedication of the Wilna Crawford Community Center, 1346 Louisiana St. Once a run-down house, the center now provides a refuge for scholarship hall students to relax and study.
"It's wonderful, we've already used it," said Niki Thiessen, Topeka sophomore. "I'm really excited about the lawn with the weather getting nice."
The house was refurbished to include a kitchen, conference room, event room and living and office area for the scholarship hall complex director. It is the first permanent office space available to the All
Scholarship Hall Council.
The lawn was landscaped with white and purple pansies and shrubs and had a stone patio and fountain on the front lawn. Diana Robertson, interim director of housing, said the transformation took a lot of work, but was successful.
"We ran into a few unexpected challenges along the way." Robertson said. "One important thing we tried to do was honor the history of the house and yet update it."
The lawn was dedicated to Juanta and Reginald Strait, who donated the house to the Kansas University Endowment Association. Reginald was a professor of physical education at the University of Kansas, and Juanta served as a surrogate mother for some KU students. At the dedication, Chancellor Robert Hemenway said Juanita Strait hoped the house could be used to continue helping students in their absence.
Janette and Tom Rudkin, KU alumni, donated $300,000 to have the house restored for the University's use. The house was dedicated in memory of Janette Rudkin's mother, Wilna Crawford.
Rudkin reminisced with her sister, Nancy Calderwood, about their mother's kindness and creativity to explain why they wanted the house be dedicated to her.
"In my mom's memory and to carry on her traditions of hospitality, we hope the students of the scholarship hall community will make this house their home," Calderwood said.
Tom Rudkin, a former resident of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall, said scholarship hall living was important for the University's students and environment. Rudkin said that while helping his daughter search for a college to attend, they didn't come across another university with residence life like the University of Kansas.
"I would have to say that it is a very great pleasure to continue to support what I think is the greatest living arrangement on this or any campus in the country," Rudkin said.

CONCERT
'Rock-A-Thon,' nice weather draw crowd
BY BETHANY BUNCH
Pearson Lawn Rock-A-Thon, an outdoor concert held in the front lawn of Pearson Scholarship Hall, 1426 Alumni Place, attracted a lively crowd Saturday night.
Students sat on blankets on a hill near the stage and enjoyed free hamburgers and hot dogs, 80 degree weather and live music by the local bands Marry Me Moses, Hella Ivy, Adam's Eve and Lloved Likes Mike.
Two audience members, David Burchfield, Shawnee sophomore, and Hadley Galbraith, Topeka junior, were so moved by the music of Marry Me Moses that they got up and danced during a song that Ted Kritikos, the lead singer, characterized as "a little bit country."
Burchfield and Galbraith said they weren't embarrassed to have danced in front of the crowd.
Galbraith said last year the event was moved inside to the kitchen of Pearson Hall because of rain. Although she enjoyed the concert last year, she said she preferred the nicer weather.
Brendan Shaw, Milwaukee, Wis., junior and president of Pearson Hall, said the weather Saturday was amazing, without a cloud in the sky.
"It was a perfect day to sit on the grass and listen to music" he said.
Shaw said the concert was an incredible success and that the only thing that could have been better was to have had the road blocked off.
"We didn't get the street blocked off, but I think it was more fun to have cars driving through a live concert or to watch the cars decide to reverse and drive down another street," Shaw said.

Shaw said in previous years the crowd began to thin as the food disappeared. This year, however, he said the audience stayed through all four sets and was responsive and enthusiastic to the bands.
and Adam's Eve are current and former residents of Pearson Scholarship Hall. Both bands performed at the event last year.
which is the scholarship halls biggest social event. The event is free for students and paid for by Pearson Hall's social and food budgets.
Saturday was the seventh year for the Pearson Lawn Rock-A-Thon.

CONGRESS
U.S. representative dies
BY ERICA WERNER ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Rep. Juanita Millender-McDonald (D-Calif.) died early Sunday of cancer, an aide said.
Millender-McDonald, who was 68, died at her home in Carson, Calif., said her chief of staff, Bandele McQueen.
McQueen provided no details on what form of cancer Millender-McDonald had. He said she had been receiving hospice care.
The congresswoman had asked for a four- to six-week leave of absence from the House last week to deal with her illness.
She was in her seventh term representing a heavily Democratic Southern California district that includes Compton, Long Beach and parts of Los Angeles.
"California and the nation have lost a great friend and public servant," said California Democratic Party Chairman Art Torres, who served with Millender-McDonald in the California state Legislature. "She was a champion for the consumer and fought injustice wherever she saw it. She always valued public service and served her state and nation with grace and honor."
This year Millender-McDonald became chairwoman of the Committee on House
Administration, which oversees operations of the House and federal election procedures.
The congresswoman, a native of Birmingham, Ala., worked on former Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley's unsuccessful 1982 gubernatorial campaign and other local races as a volunteer before getting elected to the Carson City Council in 1990.
She went on to serve in the California state Assembly, and in 1996 sought a U.S. House seat during a special election to replace Rep. Walter Tucker III, who had been convicted of taking bribes while mayor of Compton, Calif., and of cheating on his taxes.
She won the special election, and in March beat out Tucker's wife, Robin, in a primary that featured nine Democrats. She won a full House term in November 1996 and has subsequently won re-election easily.
Millender-McDonald had recently worked on issues including election reform and opposing the genocide in Darfur.
She drew national attention in 1996 when she took then-CIA director John Deutch to Watts to address the community following a newspaper report alleging that profits from domestic sales of crack-cocaine were funneled to the CIA-backed Contras in Nicaragua.

"If I can get paid to wear clothes, that's awesome," Mathisen said. "There's a couple of modeling agencies out here, so we'll see what happens."
Two of the more than 100 models, have their hair styled in the basement of Liberty Hall on Saturday night. Lada Salon and Spa sponsored the Earth Day Fashion show and silent auction.
Other students, such as Natalie Collar, blonde-haired Lenexa senior, participated just for fun.
"I was working at Milton's, and this guy liked my hair and asked me to be in the show," Collar said. "I would absolutely do it again. It was a lot of fun."
The show ended with a Hollywood segment that consisted of several models in their late teens and early 20s passing balls back and forth and pretending to have a fun day on the beach in the sun as Red Hot Chili Peppers music blasted from the speakers. Women dressed as movie stars entered the stage in a mock limousine and men wearing button-down shirts and large-framed sunglasses took their pictures.
Lada owner Mark Chapman has put the show on for three years. Shani Andersen, one of 120 volunteers not modeling in the show, said that the goal was to raise $5,000 for the Clean Water Fund. The show surpassed the goal and raised about $8,000. Andersen said.
"Clean water is something you don't think about every day until you don't have it." Andersen said.
"This is East Coast — West Coast, the hair is over the top, the makeup is over the top, the fashion is over the top," Andersen said.
During the show, a silent auction was held with about 100 donated items up for sale. Items ranged from paintings and jewelry to a voucher for one free personal concert from a local emo band.
Andersen said that the show was a bigger event than most would

Baker, who is now married to former Kansas Sen. Nancy Kassebaum Baker, was famously quoted as saying, "What did the President know and when did he know it?" while he was vice chairman of the Senate Watergate Committee.
"I still sort of thought it was essentially a political concern and did not have great substance to it," he said about the Watergate scandal. "Every day it went on, I found there were forces there I did not understand."
Four Dole Leadership Prizes have been awarded by the Dole Institute of Politics to such politicians as former New York City Mayor Rudi Giuliani and former U.S. Sen. George McGovern. With the prize, Baker also received $25,000, which he is giving to the Landon Center on Aging at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Baker, a native Tennessee, served as Senate majority leader and then Senate minority leader from 1977 to 1985. He was also the U.S. ambassador to Japan from 2001 to 2005, and said that a good relationship between the United States and Japan was essential to "preserve stability in the Far East."

Baker was named White House chief of staff in 1987 by President Reagan during the Iran-Contra Affair, a time Baker said "was not the not the high point of the Reagan presidency." Lacy told Baker's role as White House chief of staff essentially allowed Reagan to salvage his presidency.
Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute of Politics, said the Dole Leadership Prize was given to an individual with a long career in public service and encourage people to think positively about politics.
Baker said one of his proudest accomplishments was injecting bipartisan relations in the Senate.
"I have no recommendations for anybody else to serve 18 years," Baker said. "In my case, that's long enough."
Baker said the photographs he has taken were, "the nearest thing I have to a diary"
his first date with Kassebaum Baker, where he put on his "best blue suit" and took her out to dinner. He also noted his passion for photography, something that started in the Boy Scouts of America "as soon as I discovered I wasn't good at tying knots," he said.

CHILD CUSTODY BATTLE
5A
Baldwin apologizes for criticizing daughter
BY SANDY COHEN ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — As Alec Baldwin's angry words to his daughter were being broadcast around the world, the 49-year-old actor explained himself Friday on his Web site.
"Although I have been told by numerous people not to worry too much, as all parents lose their patience with their kids, I am most saddened that this was released to the media because of what it does to a child," he wrote. "I'm sorry, as everyone who knows me is aware, for losing my temper with my child. I have been driven to the edge by parental alienation for many years now. You have to go through this to understand. (Although I hope you never do.) I am sorry for what happened. But I am equally sorry that a court order was violated, which had deliberately been put under seal in this case."
A voiceemail Baldwin left for his 11-year-old daughter, in which he can be heard calling her "a rude, thoughtless little pig," was published Thursday by celebrity news site TMZ.com.
Baldwin and his ex-wife, Kim Basinger, have been engaged in bitter custody disputes over their daughter, Ireland, since the couple divorced in 2002.
"In such public cases, your opponents attempt to take a picture of you on your worst day and insist that this is who you are as a person." Baldwin wrote. "Outside the doors of divorce court, I have friends, I have respect from people I work with and I have a normal relationship with my daughter. All of that is threatened whenever one enters a court room."
Meanwhile, Baldwin's attorney, Vicki Greene, said she filed a court order "to determine how the tape got leaked and to determine whether actions should be taken against Kim Basinger, or her attorneys, or Harvey Levin (who runs TMZ.com) and anybody else associated with the leaking of the tape and the violation of the court orders to keep the proceedings closed."
ple
Greene told TV's "The Insider" that "anyone involved in this case should want to protect Ireland, so whatever happened was either intentional, reckless or negligent."
The matter is set for a hearing June 5, Greene said.
Basinger's attorney, Neal Hersh,
weighed in on the family saga
Friday on TMZ.com.
"I am concerned that Mr. Baldwin's recent statement, wherein he attempts to shift responsibility to Kim and her lawyers for his issues with Ireland, shows just how out of touch he is with the reality and gravity of the situation," Hersh said.

Basinger's spokeswoman had no comment Friday.
Alec Baldwin and his daughter Ireland are seen in July 2005 in New York. The festering bad blood between movie-star exes Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger flared up Thursday when an angry phone message from Baldwin to his daughter Ireland was made public.

Stone directs TV spot to bring troops home
Stone, 60, is donating his services. Howe said.
LOS ANGELES — Oliver Stone will direct a TV commercial as part of a campaign by MoveOn.org and VoleVets.org to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq.
The Oscar-winning director and Vietnam veteran will direct a 30-second spot that will air in about three weeks on national TV. It will feature a U.S. veteran of the Iraq war or the family of a veteran discussing the war's impact.
"We have leaders in Washington who say they're 'supporting our troops' — but the people who suffer most from their policies are the troops themselves," Stone said in a statement Thursday.
Video interviews of the finalists will appear on MoveOn.org's Web site' and on YouTube.
The soldier or family in the commercial will be chosen from some 20 finalists by MoveOn.org members in an online vote.
"I decided to participate in this project because, as a veteran, I know that America needs to listen to our servicemen and women. They've been there and they know what's really going on. They need to be part of this debate."
"Stories from veterans and family members have poured in over the past few years and we wanted

Madonna opens day care

LILONGWE, Malawi — Madonna jetted out of Malawi on Sunday after a six-day visit to the impoverished homeland of the toddler she wants to adopt, carrying the boy in her arms as she boarded her plane.

Madonna and her husband, film producer Guy Ritchie, took custody of David Banda last October after finding him in an orphanage. Critics said the 48-year-old star used her celebrity status to circumvent Malawi adoption laws — allegations she denies.
Madonna holds David Banda in her arms Thursday at Consol Homes, a day care center that she is funding in the village of Masekese, Malawi. Madonna on Thursday visited a new day care center she is funding in Malawi, one of the world's poorest. most disease-stricken countries.
The 20-month-old toddler waved to the bodyguards and driver who had escorted him during the visit. Madonna, wearing her now familiar straw hat, did not look back as she disappeared into the silver jet, with her daughter Lourdes following.
The star and her entourage spent their time visiting orphanages, projects for street children and agricultural development programs as well as opening a new day care center funded by her charity, Raising Malawi.
Madonna, who lives in London,
made one visit to the Home of Hope
orphanage, where David lived after
the death of his mother in childbirth.
There was no sign that Madonna
had met with Yohane Banda, the
peasant farmer who placed his son
in the orphanage saying he was too
poor to care for him.
It was also unclear whether Yohane Banda, met alone with his son, as he had hoped.
David's mother died of complications in childbirth and his two siblings died of malaria in infancy.
Although a coalition of human rights groups challenged Madonna's adoption plans in the courts, many
locals say they are happy that the celebrity has drawn attention to Malawi, which usually makes news because of drought, hunger and the occasional political scandal.

Money raised to replace damaged instruments
NEW YORK — A fundraising auction of music memorabilia from Jimi Hendrix, The Edge, Bono, Paul McCartney and others brought in $2.4 million, some of which will go to a charity that replaces musical equipment lost to hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
"It was the best sale we've ever done," said Darren Julien, president and CEO of Julien's Auctions, which ran the event benefiting Music Rising.
Other highlights included a pair of sunglasses donated by Bono that went for $24,000, a guitar from Bob
Music Rising was co-founded by The Edge, the U2 guitarist who donated his favorite instrument, a 1975 Gibson Les Paul that he has played for years. The guitar had been expected to bring $60,000 to $80,000, but it went for $288,000, including the commission.
The event Saturday night at the Hard Rock Cafe was so popular that bidding went on for three hours after the scheduled conclusion, Julien said.
A guitar owned by Jimi Hendrix was sold for $480,000.
The final amount going to the charity had not been tallied yet, he said.

You drink too much.
I only drink to dull the pain.
What pain?
You know, the pain. The constant hurting pain. Always hurting ... always.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you had such a good reason. Drink on, dear friend.
Hey, could you get me another beer? I would get it myself but, you know, the pain.

Anticipate resistance and don't be dismayed when you get it. Try to look at the situation from the other point of view. Doing that will help you with planning.
Don't tell anybody what you're doing until you can show solid evidence. Prove your hypothesis beyond a shadow of a doubt.

EDITORIAL: Yet another shooting should prompt reconsideration of gun control laws to prevent more violence in the United States. See Kansan.com for more opinions and Free for All comments
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
OPINION
PAGE 7A
OUR VIEW
Gun control laws need examination
In the aftermath of the Virginia Tech tragedy, the hot debate on gun control will inevitably arise, along with the tired mantra of the NRA: Guns don't kill people.
We all know that guns don't walk around and pull their own triggers. People shoot guns, guns spit bullets and bullets cause deadly physical damage. It should be relevant, however, that distressed loners and enraged exes specifically reach for guns in their murderous rages because guns are highly effective killing tools that are too easily available.
Some believe that violent episodes such as the recent school shooting would not occur if more persons protected themselves with guns. If we all had guns and someone started unloading bullets in an innocent crowd, we would have a war, not peace. Even if a few law-abiding citizens with good aim managed to quickly quell the havoc, there would be far more incensed and disillusioned people that would use guns to begin conflict.
Yet gun control is severely lacking. In Kansas, there are no restrictions on the number of guns that can be purchased, no record on gun sale and no requirement that guns be registered with law enforcement. Assault weapons are as available as hunting rifles. Customers do not need a license or training to purchase a handgun and it is not necessary to buy a child-safety lock. There is no waiting period on gun sales after the criminal background, which occurs only at federally-licensed gun stores and not at other venues, such as gun shows. In 1999, the Harvard School of Public Health found
two-thirds of grade school and high school students reported that they could obtain a gun within 24 hours.
Such lenient gun control has caused countless tragedies. In 1998, the Centers for Disease Control found that 57 percent of gun deaths involved suicide and 40 percent involved homicide.
Far more plentiful than armed outlaws, however, are crushed, confused and irrational individuals near boiling point whose first crime begins with a rash decision to reach for an easily available gun. As history demonstrates, their hasty crimes can leave an indelible scar in society.
Another famed NRA slogan asserts "when guns are outlawed, only outlaws have guns."
According to a report by the US Secret Service and the US Department of Education, two thirds of students involved in nearly 40 school shootings from 1974 to 2000 obtained their guns from their own home or a relative's home. A child's risk of committing suicide is also greater when guns are available in the home.
In the wake of yet another school shooting, we must begin to realize the relation between gun availability and gun-related deaths. Capping freedom is a touchy topic, but we all already understand that individual freedoms are reasonably and necessarily limited. Most significantly, it is wrong and illegal to kill another person. Why, therefore, should it be legal to easily sell and trade guns primarily used to kill people?

Wacky style goes far for Idol contestant
Season six of American Idol has proved vexing for many of its fans. Not only have America's votes been all over the place, but the focus of this year's competition has changed from the performers' singing to their fashion sense. It's no wonder fans are confused about who to vote for.

Contestants have caught on to this new trend, though. Two of the Top 24 contestants used their fashion sense for weeks to further themselves in the competition. Haley Scarnato, from San Antonio, made it all the way to the Top 8, and Sanjaya Malakar, from Federal Way, Wash., made it into the Top 7, finally getting voted off last week.

One other performance sticks out in the mind. During jazz night, Malakar came out in a white suit with a black shirt underneath.

one remember the song he sang while sporting this do? No. Why? Everyone was laughing through the entire performance and asking themselves, "What the f***?"
It's obvious his style choices were intentional. If not, spectators and radio talk show hosts wouldn't have been blabbing on and on the day after each show, dissecting Malakar's looks.
In his last performance, Malakar sported a red bandana that he must have thought shouted "I'm all country!" Instead, his look was reminiscent of a Diana Ross-bad hair day that couldn't be tamed by product so instead had to rope-in by a bandana. A hoe-down might have been more suitable complete with cowboy hat, chaps, a big belt buckle
For those of you wanting to try out for American Idol next season, don't forget that incorporating eccentric looks into your wardrobe isn't necessarily a bad thing to do on this show. If this trend continues, a crazy fashion sense might just what you need to get you into the Top 12. From there, No. 1's not so far away.

University should reconsider safety options
>> LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I want to thank you for your outpouring of support and the condolences that you sent to Virginia Tech students, professors and their families. We are profoundly sadened by this tragedy. So thank you for taking the time to express your support and concern. It helps to hear and see a visible expression of your sympathy.
However, this tragedy requires a few more words and observations. Maybe they will help you and the chancellor as you decide what changes to make at the University of Kansas. I grew up in Fairway and graduated from the University in 1969.
Why? So they can quickly give unvarnished recommendations directly to the chancellor without fear of disagreeing with their boss. The University's current system may be perfect. But, whatever it is, it needs to be tested with real life scenarios on an annual basis. The Montgomery County, Va., Hospital that received most of the injured patients runs real time drills twice a year. They say that those drills and the changes they inspired, insured that they would be ready to deal with multiple casualties and save multiple lives.
I came to Charlottesville, the home of the University of Virginia, in 1971 and assumed my first professional position as the assistant to the city manager, who was also a KU graduate. From here I went on to become the city manager of Roanoke, Va. Roanoke is 35 miles from Virginia Tech and has the same
supportive and emotional connection to the university as we did living in Fairway, with the University of Kansas. My son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren live there today.
City managers are required to make many decisions that affect the safety of the residents and visitors to their city. The difficulty of those decisions is of no interest to the population. They want the right decision made at the right time. Citizens have a right to make such a demand. Speed and efficiency are highly valued and required in city government.
Universities operate in a different environment. Speed and efficiency are not as highly valued. The time to write, do research and debate is a higher value than efficiency and it should be. Fundamental research and the writing of books can take years, if not decades to complete.
Unfortunately, these two cultures can collide when a public safety
Best wishes, stay safe, ask questions and only accept concrete and measurable solutions.
Bern Ewert Charlottesville, Va.
You must be asking: "What can we do to insure that the University of Kansas campus is as safe as possible?" I suggest the following for your consideration. First, tell the chancellor what emergency information you want, when you want it and how you want to receive it. Second, tell the chancellor when you want this system in place. Third, look at the lock down procedures and see if they are acceptable. Fourth, look at the experience and credentials of the individual responsible for public safety and to whom they report. In my opinion, they should probably report directly to the chancellor.
crises arrives or is anticipated. The Daily Progress, our local newspaper, said that the president of the University of Virginia will install an instant messaging system for emergencies by the beginning of next academic year and that Virginia Tech has been considering installing such a system for many months. These are not speedy decisions.
Do we care? If so, what can be done to change it?
There are many academic issues arising from this tragedy that should be discussed next academic year.

Virginia Tech students prepare to resume classes
MERCADO
Mary Altaffer/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Julie Huff, left, and Annie Ellis, both of Vienna, Va., and Vanessa Tumminia, right, of Hillsboro, N.J., carry their belongings into West Ambler Johnston Hall on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., on Sunday. Students are returning to the campus as classes will resume Monday.
BY JUSTIN POPE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BLACKSBURG, Va. — Still grieving and increasingly wary of the media spotlight, Virginia Tech students returned to their beleaguered campus Sunday, preparing to salvage the final weeks of a semester eclipsed by violence.
The scene on campus resembled move-in day in late summer, with parents helping their children carry suitcases into dormitories. There were tears and hugs. But instead of excitement for the year ahead, there was simply determination to endure and regroup in the fall.
When classes resume Monday, the university will give students three choices: They can continue through the end of the semester next week, take a grade based on what they have done so far, or withdraw from a course without penalty.
"I want to go back. It's just really strange to just stop going," said Paul Deylerle, a sophomore from Roanoke who was helping a friend move belongings from the dormitory where another close friend, Ryan
Clark, was among those killed in the worst shooting massacre in modern U.S. history.
A number of students living in West Ambler Johnston Hall have asked to be relocated elsewhere.
"I need to keep going back," Dyerle said, struggling for words. "It seems like every other facet of my life is different now, so I have to."
A number of students said they had been drawn to the comforts of home immediately after the shooting, but now were drawn back to the tight-knit Virginia Tech community.
"When we hit Route 460 and we could see the campus, we both started crying," said sophomore Aushleigh Shifflett, eating a picnic lunch with her sister Regan near memorials to the victims on campus. "I was happy to see my family, but I felt like I needed to be here, and when I came back here, it was like I'm home."
Virginia Tech officials say their top priority is the victims' families, who were given a private e-mail address and direct phone number for President Charles Steiger.
Administrators have canceled big events such as the spring football
game and postponed a fundraising campaign. The goal is to begin restarting academic life without pushing the university's 26,000 students too hard.
"I don't know what else you could do," said John Rossi, chairman of the math department. "A student, I don't know how much they're going to be able to learn at this point. Maybe some can. But I think some students are just not going to be able to come, so why would you penalize them? There's going to be some faculty dealing with that, too."
Students say they welcome the outpouring of support they have received, but they have grown noticeably weary of the news media. The Student Government Association asked reporters to leave by 5 a.m. Monday, before classes begin.
"Our students are ready to start moving forward, and the best we can do that is to get the campus back to normal," Liz Hart, director of public relations for the SGA, said in a telephone interview. Students don't want "anything external remind to us it will be a difficult road. We know that."
》 PLANE ACCIDENT
Navy Blue Angel pilot dies attempting stunt in air show
BY BRUCE SMITH ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEAUFORT, S.C. — A somber crowd watched as six jets flew overhead in formation at an air show where a Navy Blue Angel pilot died in a crash the day before.
Smoke streamed behind one of the jets as it peeled away from the others to complete the "missing man formation," the traditional salute for a lost military aviator.
Sunday's air show at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort began with a tribute to the Navy Blue Angel pilot whose aircraft plunged to the ground Saturday as the elite aviators were coming together for their final formation.
"The spirit of the pilot is in the arms of a loving God," said Rob Reider, a minister who was the announcer for the air show.
The Navy identified the pilot Sunday afternoon as Lt. Cmdr. Kevin
J. Davis, 32, of Pittsfield, Mass.
Witnesses said metal and plastic wreckage — some of it on fire — hit homes 35 miles northwest of Hilton Head Island. William Winn, the county emergency management director, said several homes were damaged. Eight people on the ground suffered injuries that were not life threatening, said Capt. Sarah Kansteiner of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.

An investigation has begun, but Kansteiner said Sunday that she could not say anything about the cause of the crash.
The crash took place in the final minutes of Saturday's air show, said Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Walley, a Blue Angel pilot. The pilots were doing a maneuver which involved all six planes joining from behind the crowd to form a triangle, said Lt. Cmdr. Garrett D. Kasper, spokesman for the Blue Angels. One plane did not rejoin the formation.

A Navy statement said the pilot had been on the team for two years, but this was his first time to be a demonstration pilot.
"Our squadron and the entire U.S. Navy are grieving the loss of a great American, a great Naval officer and
a great friend," Walley said.
Kasper said all possible causes of the crash were under investigation, and it could take at least three weeks
for an official cause to be released.
John Sauls, who lives near the crash site, said the planes were banking back and forth before one disappeared and smoke shot up.
"It's one of those surreal moments when you go, 'No, I didn't just see what I saw,' Sauls said.

Clock ticks as Rush weighs career options
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
With only six days remaining to declare for the NBA Draft, there's still no word on Brandon Rush's decision, and don't expect one anytime soon.
The sophomore guard has said he would leave for the draft if he thought he would be the 20th pick or better. Three draft-projection Web sites have him ranked as 20, 21 and 22.
other strong NBA prospects to stay in school so his name moves up in the rankings.
He'll have to make his decision by this Sunday. The NBA has given players until midnight to state their intentions.
Even if Rush declares for the draft, NBA rules
PETER HALVIN
Rush
allow him to withdraw within the next couple months after visiting and
working out with teams interested in him. That's what Rush did out of high school. He tested the professional waters and backed out when he realized he would not be a high selection. He then came to Kansas.
A player is only allowed to withdraw from the draft twice, so if Rush were to go down that route this year, he would be unable to in the future.
This week turns into a waiting game as Rush takes stock of the draft landscape. Scouts say there is a strong case for him to stay as well as turn pro.
His age is one factor that is repeatedly mentioned. He is only a sophomore but turns 22 before the 2007-2008 NBA season starts. With short career spans, professional basketball players have a small window of time in which to make their money, which could fuel his desire to turn pro sooner.
As a guard this season, Rush was the only player to start all 38 games for the team. He was the key player in several games, notably the tournament victory against Southern Illinois.
During the tournament, and since the season ended, he has maintained that he has not made a decision about the draft. He reportedly met with coach Bill Self on Thursday before Self left for a weekend recruiting trip but that meeting was only to touch base and was not about any specific decision.
NBA scouts love Rush's athleticism and size. He's 6-foot-6 and made 43 percent of his three-pointers this season. However, at times he hesitated to take shots and lacked a consistent playmaking ability.
Rush's teammates said they would like him to stay but would support him whatever decision he made. With the loss of Rush and sophomore forward Julian Wright, the Jayhawks would be set back for next season.
No matter which way Rush decides, it is unlikely he will make his decision known early this week.

Final day sees Jayhawk winners, world-best time
BY TAYLOR BERN
Fans saw several great performances at the final day of the 80th Kansas Relays.
The main attraction, Bershawn "Batman" Jackson, put up the best time in the world this year in the 400-meter hurdles, crossing the line in 48.75 seconds.
"I feel had there not been so much wind, I would have easily ran sub 0:48," Jackson said. "I had (adjust my strategy) because the
wind threw me off."
Also, in the men's invitational pole vault leaf Hartwig soared above the competition to win the event with a clearing height of 18-09.
Nichole Denby narrowly beat 2004 Olympic champion Joanna Hayes in the 100-meter hurdles, winning the race by 0.06 seconds.
Kansas had plenty of success on Saturday as well, with sophomores Sha'Ray Butler and Victoria Howard each getting victories on the track
Howard finished the 100-meter dash in 11.58 seconds while Butler ran a personal-best time of 59.44 seconds in the 400-meter hurdles.
and senior Eric Babb winning the long jump.
Babb was the real surprise story for the Jayhawks, jumping from the middle of the pack to the top of the podium.
"Now that the weather is nice, I felt like I could out and run a nice race." Butler said.
"It was pretty crazy to see my winning mark," Babb said. "I wasn't expecting my first jump in the finals to do so well. When I saw that mark, I knew I was going to be able to jump well today."
Junior Ashley Brown competed in the invitational 100- and 400-meter hurdle races, getting close to the Kansas record in the 100-meter hurdles. Brown finished with a sixth place time of 13.33 seconds in the 100 hurdles and then came in fourth in the 400
hurdles with a season-best time of 58.48 seconds.

Kansas comes out of slump
Jayhawks conquer Red Raiders in Texas
BY EVAN KAFARAKIS
The team took out a recent slump on Texas Tech (18-23, 1-9) this past weekend in Lubbock, Texas, sweeping the Red Raiders 4-1 and 5-3.
Kansas was finally able to put a run on the board after four games and 31 innings.
The layhawks have a nine-game winning streak against the Red Raiders that dates back to May 2003.
Kansas (29-18-1, 5-8) was off to an early lead in Sunday's game, something the team hasn't done in two weeks.
"We haven't proven all year that we are a good come-from-behind team," coach Tracy Bunge said.
Instead of having to come from behind, the Jayhawks had to strike first. They are 25-3 this season when they put the first run on the board.
Kansas' early offensive problems with runners on base were corrected right away when sophomore designated player Elle Pottorf hit a single with the bases loaded in the first inning, bringing in two runs.
The scoring continued as Kansas scored one run each in the second, third and fourth innings.
Pottorf led the offense, going 2-for-3 with two RBI, along with freshman second baseman Sara Ramirez, who went 2-for-3 with two solo

Jayhawks avoid weekend sweep in Lubbock
BY ALISSA BAUER
Allowing just one run in 5/2/3 innings of work, Marceli (4-2) and the Jayhawks picked up their first series finale victory of the conference season Sunday against the Texas Tech Red Raiders, 8-1.
Nearing their first series Big 12 Conference sweep this season, coach Ritch Price and the Jayhawks put their hopes of salvaging the weekend on freshman left Wally Maricel.
He came through.
"I've been really proud of his development," Price said. "He hasn't even allowed an earned run in the month
Marciel's first Big 12 start was decided after fellow left-hander Nick Czyz was taken out of the rotation for the weekend because of a sore tricep. Marciel's start, however, looked like anything but a first. And with the help of the offense Kansas has been more accustomed to in past seasons, Marciel had plenty of room to get confy.
of April, except for that home run today. He pitched the Hawaii high school pitcher of the year today."
Kansas (20-25, 6-12) took its first lead on a two-out rally in the top of the second. With two down, junior second baseman Ryne Price reached on a third
strike that got away from catcher Matt Smith. A single from junior utility man Casey Larson, who filled in at first base on Sunday, kept the inning going for junior designated hitter Joe Servais.
Servais took off on a pitch from Cory Large. Large, who made his fourth appearance of the season after being injured for two months, surrendered the first Jayhawk lead of the weekend as Servais' double scored Price.
The Red Raider designated hitter did some damage in the bottom of the third. The first and only home run of the weekend came when Chris Richburg led off the inning with a solo
Junior left fielder John Allman kicked off the scoring rally and the next four lawhaves walked safely to base.
Using three different Red Raider relievers, three walks, one beamed batter and just one hit, the Jayhawks put three runs on board in the top of the sixth to taking back the lead.

All boats lose to Gophers
Loss exposes team's weaknesses, helps prepare for Big 12 Invitational
BY CATHERINE ODSON
The Kansas rowing team was over-manned in its loss at Minnesota on Saturday.
Kansas coach Rob Catloth said the Gophers' size and experience helped them sweep the lajahaws in windy conditions on Lake Phalen in St. Paul, Minn. The Gophers first varsity eight boat is ranked No. 8 in the country, and Catloth said their other boats, especially the second varsity eight, were equally strong.
Kansas' first varsity eight fell behind early in the race and Minnesota continued to pull away as the race progressed. The Gophers finished the race in 7 minutes, 1.10 seconds, 24.4 seconds ahead of the Jayhawks, who finished in 7:25.50.
Catloth said Minnesota's lead helped the boat build on it.
"As you're rowing, you can see what's going on behind you and it sort of gives you an emotional lift," he said. "You know they're behind you. You don't have to look over your shoulder to see where they are. It spurs you on to add
more to the race or to the lead."
The closest race was the first novice eight, where Kansas lost by 12.2 seconds. Kansas' first novice eight won grand finals at the Knecht Cup in Camden, N.J., the week before.
Kansas' second novice eight finished nearly 17 seconds behind Minnesota but convincingly ahead of the novice boat from the St. Thomas club team. Minnesota finished in 8:17.35, Kansas in 8:34.00 and St. Thomas in 9:51.60. Minnesota also raced an extra varsity eight against St. Thomas.
The regatta was Kansas' last before Sunday's Big 12 Invitational against Kansas State and Texas in Kansas City, Kan.
Catloth said the team was "too up" for the race and didn't race together as a group, something they would work on before the Big 12 Invitational. Minnesota exposed the team's weaknesses, he said, giving the Jayhawks something to focus on this week.
"Sometimes when you race a team faster than you, it really puts the pressure on you, and you learn real fast what you need to do to compete
at that level," Catloth said.

Royals redeem themselves
After loading bases in the first, pitcher retires 16, allows only one run
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jorge De La Rosa got into a groove after working out of a jam in the first inning.
De La Rosa pitched a career-high eight innings Sunday and retired 16 in a row during one stretch to lead Kansas City to a 3-1 victory against the Minnesota Twins, helping the Royals win their first series of the year.
De La Rosa (2-1) worked out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the first, striking out Justin Morneau with a curveball and getting Torii Hunter to fly out to the warning track in center to end the inning.
"I thought that was the biggest out of the game," De La Rosa said of striking out Morneau.
Maybe he fed off of that. Whatever he had going, I like it. I'd like to see more of it."
The Twins did not get another base runner until the sixth.
De La Rosa allowed five hits, struck out four and walked one. He entered the game 0-3 with a 7.02 ERA in five career outings, including three starts, against the Twins.
"No doubt that was a huge moment," Royals catcher John Buck said. "A couple of games past, it seems like we came out of that the other way. That was a crucial point and it happened to be in the first.
"After the first inning he was as good as anybody we saw this year for us or against us," Royals manager Buddy Bell said. "He pitched outstanding."
Mike Sweeney went 3-for-4 for Kansas City and Ross Gload hit a two-run home run in the third, his first of the season.
"I took one good swing today and got us two runs and De La Rosa pitched great," Gload said.
De La Rosa retired 16 in a row after the Twins loaded the bases in the first. Joe Mauer, who went 2-for-4 to raise his average to .393, singled with two outs in the sixth, went to second on a passed ball charged to Buck and scored on Michael Cuddyer's double down the left-field line.
"We had a chance to get to him in
the first inning with the bases loaded, but after that not much out there," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He was starting guys off with fastballs and changeups. After the first inning, he got into a nice little groove. His changeup got better as the game went along. His fastball was jumping out of his hand. You could see his confidence growing."
Ramon Ortiz (3-1) limited the Royals to seven hits and three runs over seven innings.
"Gload hit a good pitch, a changeup, but he hit it," Ortiz said. "Everything was working, my fastball and my slider down and away. It was nothing different from my previous starts. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose."
Gload homered to center on a 1-1 pitch from Ortiz with Tony Pena Jr. in the third. Sweeney's twoout single in the fifth scored Esteban German, who led off the inning with a double.
Rookie Joakim Soria, a Rule 5 pick from San Diego, worked the ninth to pick up his second save in as many opportunities.

No.2 doubles secures lone victory
Aggies dominate matches, coach still positive about remaining season
BY RUSTIN DODD
It it didnt feel like this team had just lost its eighth-straight match.
Moments after Kansas fell 7-0 to Texas A&M to fall to 4-16 and 2-9 in the Big 12 Conference, the team broke the post-game huddle with an overly enthusiastic "lajahwacks." It wasn't just the players, coach Amy Hall-Holt gave her players a thumbs up for effort after playing the No. 21st ranked team in the country.
"A&M is ranked 21st in the nation, and we were out there and we competed with them today," Hall-Holt said. "It's been a trying year, but ending it today the way we did, I couldn't be happier."
"We're clicking now," Hommell said, "We won a couple matches, and we just had nothing to lose today."
Kansas secured its lone victory against Texas A&M with a victory from junior Lauren Hommell and freshman Kunigunda Dorn at the No.2 doubles spot. With newfound confidence Hommell and Dorn picked up an 8-7 victory in a close tiebreaker.
The Jayhawks were unable to gain a point from doubles when both the No.1 and No.3 doubles duos were defeated. Junior Elizaveta Avdeeva and sophomore Edina Horvath fell 8-4 at the No.1 spot, and junior Stephanie Smith and sophomore Yuliana Svistun lost 8-4.
Down 1-0 going into the singles portion of the match, Kansas watched as Texas A&M turned up the intensity and won six singles matches in a row. Horvath and Smith both lost hard-fought three-set matches at No. 2 and No. 6 singles respectively. Horvath dropped the first set 6-2, but fought back to even the match with a 6-2 victory in the second set. Horvath ran out of gas in the decisive third set, falling 6-4.
"In the third set I played hard." Horvath said. "But I felt I was a little bit tired, and I just started to
miss a little bit."
The closest match of the day came in the last one, with Stephanie Smith falling in a 3rd set tie breaker. In a back and forth tie breaker, Smith fell just short falling 11-9 in the tie breaker after splitting the first two sets.
In the other singles matches, Svistun had a rare loss at No. 5 singles, dropping her Big 12 record to 9-3. Avdeeva, Dorn and Hommell all fell in straight sets at No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 respectively.
MLB
Despite the lopsided 7-0 score, Hall-Holt expressed delight in the fresh start the team has in Thursday's Big 12 Championships.
"I told all the girls that if we take this energy level in to the Big 12 Championships, we can do some damage," she said.

Cardinals win high-scoring game
CHICAGO — Albert Pujols hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning. Scott Rolen had a career-best five hits and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs 12-9 Sunday after blowing a two-run lead in the ninth.
Preston Wilson singled to start the 10th against Ryan Dempster (0-1). One out later, David Eckstein singled off Aramis Ramirez's glove at third. Pujols then a drove a long homer to center field, his fifth of the season.
The Cubs tied the score in the ninth on Mark DeRosa's two-out, two-run bloop single off closer Jason Isringhausen (1-0). It was
Isringhausen's first blown save in five chances.
Michael Barrett singled and, two outs later, pinch-hitter Alfonso Soriano — who had missed five straight games with a strained hamstring — hit a double past third on an 0-2 pitch.
DeRosa's fly ball down the rightfield line fell beyond the reach of second baseman Aaron Miles and in front of right fielder Preston Wilson for a two-run single.
Tyler Johnson and Russ Springer combined to pitch a hitless 10th for St. Louis.
Rolen's two-run triple in the ninth gave the Cardinals a 9-7 lead. Rolen finished 5-for-6.
Ramirez's three-run homer off St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright
tied the score at 7 in the sixth
On a 75-degree day with the wind blowing out at 18 mph, it was a home run hitter's delight.
Duncan hit a two-run shot in the fifth off Wade Miller, giving St. Louis a 6-4 lead. One out later, Rolen hit to left-center, his second homer of the season.
Adam Kennedy, batting .196 with just two RBIs entering play, hit a two-out, two-run double on a 3-2 pitch in the fourth to tie it at 4.
Barrett hit a two-run drive to center that made it 4-2 Chicago in the third.
Jim Edmonds' first homer of the season, a two-run shot in the second, tied it at 2 and matched Edmonds' RBI total coming into the game.

Men's club wins final home match
The KU men's club rugby team defeated Northwest Missouri State University 28-10 in its final home match of the season on Saturday at the Westwick Rugby Complex south of Lawrence.
The team scored tries on several long scrambles as well as a maul in which senior Zach Nelson was stopped momentarily until
his teammates smashed into the mob of tacklers and pushed him into the try zone.
Sophomore jumper Adam Lauridsen was injured during the match, forcing several of the Jayhawks to play out of position.
This was the first match-up in the history of the two club
teams. Northwest Missouri State's team was not formed until recently.
"We matched up evenly in size, but it just came down to us being the more experienced team," Lauridsen said.

BASEBALL
Faunce, Snowden invaluable role players
BY SHAWN SHROYER
The Iayhawks role players' performances have been lost in the midst of Kansas's subbar season.
"I've tried to identify what the strengths of those players are and put them in the situations where they can succeed," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "In the five years I've been here, it been the most productive our bench has been."
In its series with Texas Tech (23-17, 7-10) alone, Kansas (20-25, 6-12) had a handful of bench players step up in place of the team's everyday start.
On Sunday, junior Casey Larson got his first start at first base because health issues kept sophomore first baseman Preston Land from making the trip. Larson went 1-for-2 with an RBI in Kansas three-run sixth that helped salvage the series.
On Saturday, junior infielder Matt Berner was thrown into the starting lineup because junior shortstop Erik Morrison was ejected following Friday's game and couldn't play in game two. Berner went 1-for-3 with a double and scored Kansas' only run of the game.
But performances such as these are nothing new for the hawfaws.
Players like sophomore Nick Faunce and junior Eric Snowden haven't played much this season, with only one start between them, but when Price has called their numbers, Snowden and Faunce have been invaluable.
"Nick Faunce is one of the best teammates and role players I've had in the five years I've been here. He knows what his roles are, he's into the game the whole time and he's not complaining about not getting to start," Price said. "Eric barely played his first three years and now he's been pinch hitting for us at crucial times."
Faunce has predominantly been a
pincher runner and defensive specialist for Kansas, but one of the highlights of his season came in the final game of the Missouri series.
After junior right fielder Broinck Simpson failed to run out an infield pop-up in the first inning, Price replaced him with Faunce.
"It was good that it was that early in the game because I was still warm from the warm-ups and I still had my heart rate going," Faune said.
Faunce went 1-for-4 in the game and his single in the fifth drove in two of Kansas' nine runs.
Snowden, on the other hand,
has been Kansas' top pinch hitter
—a role that suits him just fine. He's
excellent, batting .370 this season
with a home run and seven RBI.
"I like getting into the game in pressure situations. It's a rush," Snowden said.
In the first game of a double header with Northern Colorado,
Snowden had a Roy Hobbs moment,
hitting a game-winning home run in
the sixth at Price's request.
"Coach Price told me to get in the game and put one up in the air for him, and I just put a good swing on a ball and put it out." Snowden said. "There's no better feeling than to come into the game as a pinch hitter and get the job done."
With fewer and fewer games left to qualify for the Big 12 Tournament, Kansas will depend on these role players to reach postseason play.
"They say your team's really defined by your pinch hitters," Faune said. "If they're successful, your team can have a better opportunity to win."

home runs to lead off the second and fourth innings, sending both home runs over the left-field wall.
On defense, all three pitchers saw some action in the game and secured the victory.
SeniorpitcherKassieHumphreys (15-10) started for the layhawks and threw four innings, allowing three hits and walking two.
SOFTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
She struck out six batters, five of them swinging on the third strike.
She was replaced by sophomore pitcher Valerie George who got her third save of the season, retiring the last three batters of the game.
Humphreys gave up a home run in the bottom of the second inning and showed signs of fatigue from Saturday's game where she threw the complete game.
The weekend victories snapped the jayhawks' five-game losing streak.
Freshman pitcher Sarah Vertelkame in to relieve but struggled, allowing two runs on four hits in her two innings of work.

Kansas' third run of the game. Servais
chipped in again with an RBI ground-

While Kansas continued to build its lead, Texas Tech squandered away chances to close the gap. By the end of the sixth, the jayhawks had pushed the score to 4-1, their largest lead in their

last seven games. Meanwhile, after Richburg's home run, the Red Raiders left 10 runners on base.
sophomore catcher Buck Afenir congratulates junior left fielder John Allman at home plate on Sunday. Allman had two runs and two RBI.
"The big thing about being a head coach, you've got to be positive," Price said. "There's going to be peaks and valleys in this game, and if you panic the pressure just rises. You've got to keep with them."

The Jayhawk bats plowed forward, scoring twice in the seventh and another pair in the ninth.
A trio of singles from senior center fielder Kyle Murphy, Allman and sophomore catcher Buck Afenir brought yet another Texas Tech pitching change and two more runs for the visiting team.
Choosing to ride it out, Red Raider reliever Brian Cloud remained in the game for its duration, allowing the two ninth inning runs. Murphy led off the ninth with his third consecutive hit of the afternoon before freshman third baseman Robby Price reached on a mistake by left field Doug Thennis.
Both players scored on RBI hits from Allman and Afenir to cap off the jayhawks eight-run day. Despite
outscoring the Red Raiders 10-7 on the weekend, the Jayhawks' 8-1 blow-out on Sunday was the only victory they brought home. Although they lost the series, the Sunday victory was immensely important. Entering the weekend, Texas Tech was ranked second to last, with Kansas sitting just below. Avoiding the weekend sweep, the Jayhawks are now keeping their Big 12 Tournament hopes alive.
"I think it saved our season today," Price said. "When you have your back to the wall you have to come up with a plus performance, and that was one of our best today."

game one
Texas Tech 1, Kansas 0 Sophomore lefty Andy Marks (3-5) cruised through almost six scoreless innings after giving up a run in the bottom of the first. Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, Texas Tech starter AJ. Ramos (8-2) pitched through nine scoreless innings. Kansas tied a season low when the offense recorded just four hits
in the series opener, Ramos's shut out was the first against Kansas since Missouri's Nathan Culp did the same last March. Right fielder Roger Kicknick did the bulk of the work for the Red Raiders. He went 3-for-4 at the plate and drove in the only run of the game.

gametwo
Texas Tech 3, Kansas 1
The Jayhawks were able to get their bats going, in the second game of the series, out hitting the Red Raiders 8-6, but couldn't pull off the victory. Junior Zach Ashwood (3-4) threw the first four while Andres Esquibel came in for the fifth. Senior left Colt Hynes (3-4) took the lead his team gathered in the second into the eighth inning before Travis
Young came in for his second save of the season. Left fielder Doug Thennis knocked in a pair of runs when he took an Ashwood delivery for a triplet. Thennis scored on a ground out. Junior third baseman Matt Bemer doubled in the top of the third. He scored when freshman Robby Price drove him in with a double of his own.

In front of a crowd filled with friends and world-class athletes alike, senior Eric Babb stunned the field, the crowd and himself with a personal record leap of 25-09 feet to win the long jump.

"I felt good," Babb said in a press release. "I" had all my family here today so it was a great accomplishment for me."

Babb, a 2006 first-team Academic All-Big 12 Conference, surprised himself with his early success.

Record setting
Hurdler sets record for 400 meters this year
The lack of big name athletes in this year's Gold Zone competition resulted in a lack of fans in the stands.
Nothing, however, could stop Bershawn "Batman" Jackson from putting on a show and running the fastest time in the world this year in the 400-meter hurdles.
Jackson came in at 48.75 seconds, the fastest time this year by more than a second. The victory makes him a three-time defending Kansas Relays champion.
"There are a lot more good things to come," Jackson said. "Every athlete has expectations for their first race of the season. You train so hard in the fall, and your first race often determines how your season will turn out. I am happy with the time."
Jackson, the Nike team member, also described himself as an "88 out of 100" right now and promised that he would reach 100 by August for the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Japan.
In the 1,500 meters, Mike Teagankamp led wire-to-wire, beating out Kansas junior Colby Wissel for the gold with a time of 3:43.01.
"This is the first time I've run back in the Kansas City area since I was in college, so it has been six years now," Teagankamp said. "It's nice to get close to my hometown
(Lee's Summit) and go out and give the crowd some excitement. It was a really good time."
Teagankamp's time translates to a four-minute mile, but the winner wishes he could just run a mile instead of the 1,500.
"I think the overall crowd can relate better to a mile," Tegankamp said. "It is easier for them to understand a four-minute mile than it is for a conversion to a 1,500 (meter). I think it is something that would have been nice, maybe next year."
In the invitational pole vault, Jeff Hartwig, the oldest competitor in the field, cleared 18-09 feet to win the event. At the beginning of the season Hartwig announced that it would be his last, but his early success has made that decision a bit more difficult.
In one of the most exciting races Saturday, Nichole Denby edged out 2004 Ojlympic Gold medalist Joanna Hayes by 0.06 seconds to win the 100-meter hurdles. Denby's time was 12.72 seconds.

"Change is this new constant," Heinzl said. "You have got to recognize this, so you can jump at' it and not let it slip by."
The Doctors Without Borders program provides humanitarian medical aid to impoverished people in Third World countries.
The lecture, "Lessons from Abroad: The Opportunities of a Borderless World," was sponsored by Student Health Services and Student Union Activities. It was a Ralph Canuteson memorial lecture and a part of Student Health Services' centennial celebration. Canuteson was the first doctor for Student Health Services and ran

He detailed his first experience abroad in facing the arrival of a hundred thousand Kurdish refugees fleeing toward his base camp in Turkey during the early 1990s. Shortly after their arrival to the site, Heinzel and his three colleagues were informed that they would be providing all humanitarian assistance to the refugees.
"We just stared at each other, trying to look confident," Heinzl said. "Our jaws dropped, and we just pushed them back up."
He said none of them had done this before, but they knew they were going to have to find a way. Experiences like these, Heinzl said, taught him the most.
"Success can be a poor teacher," Heinzel said. "I was lucky to have role models who said it was okay to be non-conventional and who applauded creativity."
When in Cambodia, Heinzl described the most exciting day for the townspeople — the day a Frisbee arrived in the mail. He said the kids learned very quickly how to use it and eventually how

Cheese covered the roadway
Until the early 1940s, only unmarried women were admitted to the nursing school at the University of Kansas, and they had to remain single until they completed the program.
Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Marcel Bright said the semi driver had to swerve to avoid crashing into a car that had cut it off at about 1:35 a.m. Although the truck driver avoided the crash, the trailer spun out, turned over and broke in two.
Crews spent more than nine hours cleaning up the scene of the accident and removing the truck and trailer. All lanes of traffic were closed southbound until 10:30 a.m., when one lane of traffic was reopened, Bright said.
Girl stops speeding van, saves mother, brother
Some of the cheese had come out of its packaging, so the cleanup crews had to pick it up by hand, Bright said.
CHICAGO — It was unseasonably warm — but not baking — and that probably helped save a portion of the Chicago Skyway from turning into a gigantic, Windy City-style deep-dish pizza.

Nurse convicted after body parts found
BY DANIELA FLORES ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — A jury convicted a nurse Monday of killing her husband, hacking up his body and stuffing the parts into
three suitcases she tossed into Chesapeake Bay.
M el an i e McGuire, who sobbed as she heard the verdict, was convicted of murder, desecration of a corpse, perjury and a weapons offense.
She was
During the six-week trial, prosecutors said McGuire, 34, organized William McGuire's 2004 murder using her expertise as a nurse so she could begin a new life with her lover, her boss at a fertility clinic.
The Middlesex County jury was
The body parts of William McGuire,39,a computer programmer,were found in matching Kenneth Cole luggage that washed ashore in May 2004 near Norfolk, Va.
acquitted on two counts of hindering prosecution and falsifying evidence. Authorities charged that she wrote anonymous letters in an attempt to thwart investigators.
anty jury was told that two days before her husband was last seen alive, McGuire bought a gun and bullets that matched those found in her husband's body.
The body partsofWilliam McGuire, 39, a
computer programmer, were found in matching Kenneth Cole luggage that washed ashore in May 2004 near Norfolk, Va., nearly 300 miles from the couple's Woodbridge, N.J.
apartment.
The verdict from the jury of nine women and three men came after about 13 hours of deliberations over four days.
McGuire's attorney, Joseph Tacopina, had argued that the petite nurse was physically incapable of killing her 6-foot-3, 210-pound husband.
Assistant Attorney General Patricia Prezioso told jurors McGuire forged a prescription for a powerful sedative, chloral hydrate, using the name of a patient from her clinic April 28, 2004, the day her husband disappeared.
During his closing argument, Tacopina also said it would have been impossible to carry out such a bloody crime in the couple's apartment without neighbors hearing something and without leaving behind physical evidence.
Preziose told jurors that McGuire most likely had an accomplice, but
no one has been named or charged. The prosecutor acknowledged that there were some unanswered questions, but said there was still "overwhelming" evidence to convict the mother of two.
Prosecutors also highlighted Internet searches made from the couple's apartment on topics such as "undetectable poisons" and "ways to kill people."
Tacopina said the defense did not call McGuire to the stand because the jury had heard the key elements of what she had to say when audio recordings made by two men close to her, who were cooperating with authorities, were played in court.
The recordings were made by Dr. Bradley Miller, with whom she was having the affair, and her good friend, James Finn. In the recordings, McGuire repeatedly says she had nothing to do with her husband's death.

JOURNALISM INDUSTRY
Tribune Co. to cut 250 jobs
BY DAVE CARPENTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — The Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times disclosed plans Monday to reduce their staffs by as many as a combined 250 jobs, the latest cutbacks in a newspaper industry reeling from a falloff in advertising and circulation.
The actions by Tribune Co.s two largest dailies, which had been expected for months, come on top of earlier cutbacks by both papers.
The Times said it hoped to cut its staff of 2,625 by up to 150 employees, or around 6 percent. The Chicago Tribune said it intends to trim its staff by as many as 100, or 3 percent.
The company will make the
cuts by a mix of closing vacant positions, attrition, buyouts and layoff
"The actions being undertaken at our newspapers reflect fundamental changes going on across the media industry," Tibune Co. spokesman Gary Weitman said. "We cannot still; as revenues have slowed, our newspapers are scaling expenses accordingly."
Tribune said it will redeploy its resources to areas that can best generate growth, as it is now doing with Internet-focused ventures.
The Times said up to 70 jobs could be cut from its news operations, which would reduce the newsroom staff to about 850 people. The Times news operation employed about 1,200 when it was bought by Tribune in 2000.
Times Publisher David Hiller, who took over last October when Jeffrey
Johnson resigned after protesting Tribune's proposed cuts, said the newspaper must continue to change its business model in the face of industrywide challenges.
"It is also crucial we reduce resources, including some of our people, in areas of our core print business where revenue is declining." Hiller said in a statement.
Tribune, the nation's second-largest newspaper publisher, last week reported a first-quarter loss of $15.6 million because of continued declines in classified advertising.
The struggling company, which owns 11 daily newspapers, 23 TV stations and the Chicago Cubs baseball team, accepted an $8.2 billion buyout offer from real estate tycoon Sam Zell earlier this month to become private.

Relatives of the alleged victims react after a jury found convicted sex offender Kenneth Glenn Hinson, who was accused of raping two teen girls in an underground bunker, not guilty of kidnapping, sex crimes and assault with intent to kill, Monday in Darlington, S.C.
Verdict leaves prosecution 'shocked and stunned'
BY MEG KINNARD ASSOCIATED PRESS
DARLINGTON, S.C. — A jury acquitted a convicted sex offender Monday of raping two teenage girls who police say escaped after they were left to die in an underground bunker he had built.
Kenneth Glenn Hinson, 48, appeared to cry after the jury read its verdict, which followed about four hours of deliberations.
"I think the verdict says it all" he said as he was escorted from the courtroom.
Authorities accused Hinson of snatching the 17-year-old girls from their bedroom last year and dragging them one at a time to the underground room, raping them and binding them with duct tape. Prosecutors said Hinson expected the girls to die because the room, under a tool shed, had no air supply.
He was charged with kidnapping, sex crimes and assault with intent to kill.
"We are shocked and stunned. We believed Mr. Hinson was guilty as
charged. We still believe he is guilty as charged," said Attorney General Henry McMaster, who helped prosecute the case.
Hinson testified that the girls had consensual sex with him. He said they made up the story so they would be able to take drugs from the bunker, which he used to store marijuana.
Hinson said he panicked when he saw police cars arrive at his property and hid in nearby woods. He assumed they were after four pounds of marijuana stashed in the bunker, he said.
The two young women were not in the courtroom when Hinson was acquitted. Their mothers and other relatives wept. They declined to comment after the verdict.
Hinson had faced a mandatory life sentence without parole under the state's two-strikes law because of a past conviction for raping a 12-year-old girl in 1991.
Hinson remained in custody on a federal firearms charge because he is accused of having a gun when he was arrested. Convicted felons are not permitted to carry weapons.

ENTERTAINMENT Anna Nicole shows silliness in film to be released May 1
MAX RINKEL
LOS ANGELES — Anna Nicole Smith was never considered a serious actress, and she's unlikely to win any posthumous film awards for her final role as a goofy, flaunted superhero who's part of a trio of alien babes protecting Earth.
Yet the low-budget B-movie
comedy "Illegal Aliens" does show an intriguing side of Smith — a person aware of the silliness surrounding her persona and someone willing to go to extremes to make fun of it. The movie is meant as a spoof of action flicks.
Early on in the movie — which comes out May 1 on DVD, three months after Smith's death — there's a clip from Smith's reality-TV show, in which she devours a life-size cake made in her own
image.
"Eating her own image, that's what she does in the movie," said David Giancola, director of "Illegal Aliens," on which Smith was a producer and her late son, Daniel Smith, was associate producer. "She really wanted people to laugh. Anna and Daniel wanted to make a movie that satirized Hollywood and ourselves to a great extent."

》 OUR VIEW
Virginia Tech police deserve compassion
In this time of national tragedy it's discombobulating to have so many questions yet so few answers. Perhaps the lack of answers as to why these senseless shootings occurred on Virginia Tech's campus has led to some unnecessary finger-pointing. The Virginia Tech Police Department personnel have been easy targets for outraged parents. Fox News and other media outlets have reported several cases of parents calling for Virginia Tech campus police chief W.R. Filchum's firing.
Although some police procedures probably should have been done differently to protect students and capture the shooter, hindsight is 20-20. Everything can always be improved upon. There's no doubt that these police were doing the best they could under the unexpected circumstances to do their jobs.
While better emergency lock-downs and drills should be imposed, how can a large campus like Virginia Tech really be prepared to face something like it did last Monday? That's not to say that these
types of emergency plans shouldn't be thought out and on hand just in case. However, if police and administrators could successfully plan for and prevent every possibly harmful event, they would. Nothing bad would ever happen if everyone knew the way to prevent it.
The gunman shot himself, which is a cowardly way to avoid the responsibility for his evil actions. If he were alive, we could all easily, and deservedly, point our finger at him. However, because there's no living guilty party, some have chosen to point it at people, like the police, who were trying to help. Perspective is difficult to maintain on a regular day, the ability to examine the larger picture in the midst of this tragedy is even more difficult. However, the Virginia Tech campus police should not be treated like they consciously did a wrong.

Prince William has willing prospect in married columnist
Allow me to be among the first million to declare to Prince William my availability. Sure, I might already be married, but there's probably some small legal point on which to question my marriage's validity. I don't think the royal family will have a problem with that; after all, they invented the idea of ending marriages on technicalities.
Of course, I still love my wife,
but I've got my future to think

Throwing my wife under the bus might seem extreme, but these are extreme times. When else is there going to be a hot item like William on the market, with a nearly-canonized mother and eleventy zillion dollars in change beneath his couch eushions?
And I could always maintain an affair with my wife on the side. That's another thing the royals do well.
I admit, William has a face like a constipated horse who has just caught a glimpse of a birthing video. He's heir to the throne of a country
full of people who regularly eat animal organs that weren't used here even in Upton Sinclair's day. His nation is responsible for all the annoying people around here who say "spot on." But

Even if I ignore what I get out of this, I'd be a fool to not do this for my children. The royal family can afford way more Thomas the Tank Engine toys than I can. A why buy plastic My Little Pony toys when
there are real live ponies in the world?
Some opportunities only come once in a lifetime. I'm not getting any younger, or skinnier. William is on the rebound right now, and I might end up only being used, but my television has recently developed weird color splotches on the picture and I can't afford a new one. If William is prepared to buy a new one for me, I saw "use away!"

Relevant and timely story left unreported
After reading, and rereading Thursday's edition of The University Daily Kansan, I was faced with the startling realization that 183 people were murdered the previous day and the paper didn't even mention it. Granted these people were Iraqi, and granted it seems that every day another bomb blows up and kills some number of people, but this is definitely newsworthy.
It is newsworthy because it is a significant loss of human life, people who have families and who deserve to live just as much as we do. It's newsworthy because we invaded their country and we still have troops fighting there. These are troops who are mostly the same age as the majority of us who attend the University of Kansas.
Instead of printing this we were informed about a local philanthropist coffee roaster. We saw a picture of some old ladies in funny red hats and we got to read pleas from one person who wants more gun control and one who wants less so that all students would be free to bring guns to class.
Certainly the printing of the above-mentioned things can be justified, as they all apply to us in some way. I simply wish that there would have been at least a short little article from the Associated Press about the tragedy in Iraq. It's important that KU students be informed about what is happening outside of Kansas, and it's our newspaper's job to make sure that this happens.

Shooting reveals ethnocentric attitude
What happened at Virginia Tech on April 17 was horrifying and senseless, a tragedy in every sense of the word. But amid the consistent front-page headlines and 24-hour CNN coverage, there is something else about the situation that is terribly wrong.
While we are shocked and deeply appalled by the recent school violence, we also seem to have forgotten that many more people are dying around the world daily in equally senseless violence.
Wednesday 127 people died in a Baghdad market, just part of the 183 who died in Iraq that day. The people who died there are no less human than the people who died at Virginia Tech, but you wouldn't know it by the amount of media coverage.
We are so disturbed by the VT shooting because the victims were young, rich and American. It
The University Daily Kansan's most recent editorials only highlight this attitude. It is no excuse to say things like "Things like this shouldn't happen in America, at a school." Entire villages are regularly razed in Africa by governments, just

for belonging to the wrong ethnic group. So why are things like this "not supposed to happen to us"?
I think that says something very distressing about our value systems. And the narcissism of American culture is beginning to make me sick. The Darfur region has suffered 400,000 deaths; Iraq, 62,000; U.S. soldiers fighting in the war in Iraq, 3,200.
Every single one of those people had a mother, a father, sisters and brothers. Every one had infinite potential, just as much as our friends and neighbors, and the innocent victims at Virginia Tech. None of them had to die. But we don't hear about people halfway around the world; we don't care. And that is truly tragic.

Former Russian president dead
BY DOUGLAS BIRCH ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — Boris Yeltsin, who kicked the props out from under the totering Soviet empire and then struggled to build a nation from its wreckage, died Monday after seeing many of his democratic reforms rolled back. The former Russian president was 76.
Larger than life during his tenure, Yeltsin shrank from public view following his retirement on New Year's Eve 1999, and in recent years has rarely given interviews. But the big, bumptious politician with the soft pink features and wave of white hair could be seen again Monday in file footage on Russian television.
President Vladimir Putin spoke to the nation four hours after the announcement of Yeltsin's death to praise briefly Russia's first freely
elected president as a man "thanks to whom a whole new epoch has started"
"New democratic Russia was born, a free state open to the world; a state in which power truly belongs to the people," Putin said.
Yeltsin will be buried Wednesday in Moscow's historic Novodevichy cemetery, the resting place of such diverse figures as writer Anton Chekhov and former Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. Putin postponed his annual state of the state address from Wednesday to Thursday in deference.
Yeltsin was, according to Andrew Kuchins of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, "a revolutionary leader at a revolutionary moment," a reformer who battled the Communist Party from the inside, an exultant wrecker of the U.S.S.R.'s totalitarian regime.

"You get to know the city a lot better," he said. "It's great to breathe the fresh air."
The guest lecturer after the movie, Simran Sethil, who works for the environmentally oriented Web site treehugger.com, said she failed her first environmental class in college, so there is still hope.
"We're all just trying to figure it out" she said.
Sethi presented a Power Point lecture called "Relationships and Choices; Personalizing Sustainability", which dealt with waste and ways of preventing it. Some of the biggest contributors to waste are coal
burning, water waste and those little plastic bottles full of water, soda and juice.
"Plastic is basically here forever," Sethi said. "It doesn't go away."
She also discussed a number of startling statistics., such as how a standard T-shirt is made with a third of a pound of a variety of chemicals and consumption of office paper has risen 43 percent since 1999 during the digital age.

"Our world is so borderless," Heinzl said. "Even the little Frisbees can diffuse almost effortlessly worldwide."
Technology is "double-exponentially" growing around the world. Heinzl said because the curve of new technology was so extreme. So many people are smart and capable to learn new things, especially children, he said, and half the population is under 20 years old, which
shows that young people are very capable of turning into something extraordinary.
"The world's youth is essential," Heinz said. "In a blink of an eye, those kids are our world's future."
Heinzl encouraged the young people in the audience to take a year off and travel and do something artistic and altruistic. He said it used to be viewed as frivolous to get education in one area, but work in another.
"Now, being non-conventional is
sometimes a successful way to go," Heinzl said. "When you're handed a piece of lined paper, write the other way."
Marisa DeGennaro, Overland Park junior, and friend Erin Perkins, Olathe junior, were both drawn to the lecture because of their interests in this profession. Both pre-medicine students, DeGennaro and Perkins were impressed by the inspiration and the humanitarianism Heinz provided in his lecture.
DeGennaro said she was inter

ISLAM (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
misconception that Muslim women were oppressed.
"God puts men and women in the same space, there is no question whatsoever," said Raiz Alam, Chittagong, Bangladesh, senior. "God said they are the same."
Alam and Halim explained that in the Islam religion, men and women had societal roles that were different but equally valuable. Men were expected to provide for their family and women were supposed to take care of the family. Muslim men and women were supposed to adhere strictly to rules regarding their interactions with one another to preserve their integrity. For example, some women wear a scarf over their face, called a hijab.
Ali Agha, Paola senior, said it was not the Muslim religion that oppressed women. "Some bad husbands, yeah. Bad in-laws, of course, but you have that everywhere," Agha said.
Alam said interpretation was a
culprit in cultural misunderstanding
He said a professor translated the word "friend" to a Western Civilization class to mean Muslims couldn't be friends with Christians or Jews. The phrase actually meant that Muslims shouldn't follow other religions, although Alam said Muslims didn't look down on other religions.
"If you want to learn religion from the core, you have to know the language it was built in," Alam said. Students at the center also addressed how racism against Muslims had evolved since Sept. 11.
Michiko Takei/KANSAN
Alam recalled hearing from a British news outlet that a Muslim student was killed trying to save his professor during the Virginia Tech incident.
"But it never came out in the American media," Alam said.

Halim blamed a lack of cultural understanding partially on the United States' geographic location.

Student tries to qualify for '08 Olympics

An Olympic flag hangs in Scott Russell's office in Robinson Gymnasium as a simple reminder of his goal: to throw the javelin in the Olympics.
"That flag will stay there until I make an Olympic team," Russell said.

Russell, a Windsor, Ontario, graduate student and teaching assistant, is a former track-andfield athlete at the University of Kansas. He received a bachelor's degree in athletic training from the University in 2002, but returned last year to earn a master's degree in physical education.
Since his graduation from the University in 2002, Russell has been throwing the javelin in international track meets. According to the International Association of Athletics Federations, he is ranked first in Canada and 31st in the world. He hopes to make the Canadian Olympic team in 2008.
Last weekend at the Kansas Relays, Russell made his first attempt at a qualifying throw for the 2008 games. His throw of 264.8 feet won the competition but did not meet the Olympic qualifying standard of 267.65 feet.
"I wasn't too worried about it," Russell said. "I had a lot of years left."
This year isn't Russell's first time trying to qualify for the Olympics. He tried in 2000, but didn't make a qualifying throw.
Russell said he had thought 2004 would be his year to compete in the Olympics. He wrote "I am going to the Olympics" at the top of each page in a journal that he logged all of his workouts in that year. But
Russell strained before the Olympic trials. He threw almost 20 feet below the Canadian qualifying standard that year.
"I remember getting a phone call," said Candace Dunback, a friend and former KU track-and-field athlete." He was absolutely heartbroken."

White Sox defeat Royals
Chicago's home runs sink K.C.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mark Buehrle didn't pitch another no-hitter. Paul Konerko made sure didn't need to.
Buehrle allowed five hits in seven innings, leading the Chicago White Sox against the Kansas City Royals 7-4 Monday night.
Konerko, who had not homered since opening day, hit a pair of two-run homers and drove in five runs for the White Sox, the 20th multihomer game of his career. He connected in the sixth off Gil Meche to tie the score 2-2, then homered in the eighth on David Riske's fifth pitch of the night for a 5-3 lead.
Last Wednesday against Texas, Buehrle pitched the major leagues' first no-hitter of the season. He didn't get very far in his quest to match Johnny Vander Meer's feat of consecutive no-hitters, allowing a two-out double in the second to Esteban German, who had entered 0-for-6 against him.
Buehle had retired 38 of his previous 39 batters, allowing only a walk to the Rangers' Sammy Sosa — who was picked off.
Buehrle (2-0) gave up two runs, struck out four and walked one, improving to 16-6 against the Royals. Bobby Jenks worked

Talib settles in on offense Junior shows impressive skill on both sides of the ball

Talib merely showed hints of his promise in his offensive debut last season. After a month of work at wide receiver this spring, the junior has begun to grasp the nuances of the position.
"I didn't work on offense much last year at all," Talib said. "I've been working on it a little bit every day during the spring. I'm a lot more comfortable right now."
During the Spring Scrimmage, Talib lined up as the slot receiver several times with the first string offense. He did not appear to be the best route-runner on the field, but he used his speed and leaping ability to secure two receptions for 31 yards. Talib's second catch was an impressive 26-yard grab of a high delivery from Meier that not many receivers would have been able to reach.

Despite indications that Talib will see plenty of playing time at receiver, fans need not fear Talib's transition to a full-time offensive player — the jayhawks' best defender is staying on defense.

Bourdais grabs 25th victory of 62 career starts
HOUSTON — Sebastian Bourdais followed rookie Tristan Gommendy closely late in the Grand. Prix of Houston, waiting for the frontrunner to run out of gas.
With faulty brakes and laps running out, Bourdais was getting nervous.
But, as it always does in Champ Car these days, things eventually broke Bourdais' way and he ended up with the victory on Sunday.
The 28-year-old Frenchman won for the second straight year in Houston, passing Gommendy on the 87th lap and grabbing the inside track for his fourth consecutive Champ Car title.
"I had the feeling where it's either going to go our way and we were going to win it," Bourdais said, "or it's going to go his way and he's going to win it. That's racing, I guess."
Bourdais earned his 25th career win in his 62nd start, continuing his unprecedented dominance of the circuit. Brakes
or not, Bourdais decided to finish his second win of the season in style, turning his fastest lap (58.018 seconds) on his 93rd and final trip around the 1.69-mile street course next to Reliant Stadium.
Bourdai has won 14 of his last 24 starts and boosted his point total to 73, three ahead of previous points leader Will Power, who finished 11th.
"I have to say, it was not an easy win," Bourdais said. "We have quite a few things to look at with the car. Toward the end, it was not the same car. I was just glad it turned out all right."
Bourdais went for a pit stop on the 68th lap, while Gommendy stayed on the track, gambling that he wouldn't have to stop again for fuel.
If a caution flag had come out, the drivers would've held their positions and Gommendy would've been able to save gas and cruise to victory.
"Any yellow was going to buy him a win," said Bourdais. "They pushed it as far as they could."

MISSOURI (28-12, 9-6)
SERIES: MISSOURL 2-1
SEMIUS, MISSOURI, 2-7
**UP:** Missouri designated hitter Jacob Pridway is a key contributor as the Tigers outscored the Bears 28-23. He went 7-for-15 with four RBI, five runs, three extra-base hits, a stolen base and no strikeouts.
IN THE HOLE: Baylor's starting pitching put it in a hole all weekend as Jeff Mandel (5-6), Randall Linebaugh (2-4) and Kendal Volz (5-1) allowed 13 runs in 11-1/3 combined innings.
ON DECK: Baylor will play the first game of its series with Texas A&M this weekend at home, but then travel to College Station for the last two games. Missouri will try for consecutive Big 12 series victories this weekend against Texas Tech.
TEXAS TECH (25-17, 7-10)
VS. KANSAS (20-25, 6-12)
SERIES: TEXAS TECH. 2-1
UP: Texas Tech starting pitchers AJ Ramos (8-2) and Colt Hynes (3-4) had stellar outings. Ramos threw a complete-game shutout on Friday, striking out five and allowing only four hits. Hynes, who entered the weekend with only 43 strikeouts, added nine in 7-1/3 innings on Saturday as he gave up only one run.
IN THE HOLE: Kansas outscored Texas Tech 9-5 during the weekend, but eight of the Jayhawks' runs came on Sunday, wasting incredible performances by Andy Marks (3-5) on Friday and Zach Ashwood (3-4) and
Andres Esquibel (5-3) on Saturday.
ON DECK: Texas Tech hits the road this weekend for a series at Missouri. Kansas will also play Missouri this week, but only in a non-conference game at Kauffman Stadium on Wednesday. Kansas then plays at Oklahoma, still in search of its first conference series victory.

SERIES: OKLAHOMA, 2-1
UP: Oklahoma shortstop Aaron Reza was a catalyst for the Sooner offense as it outscored the Wildcats 38-23. He went 5-for-14 with two home runs (2, 3), four RBI, five runs and a stolen base.
IN THE HOLE: Forced into the game in the second inning and given no defensive support, Saturday's 20-6 loss was a forgettable one for Kansas State reliever Todd Vogel (2-0). In four innings of relief, Vogel surrendered 10 runs — half of which were earned — on nine hits and a walk.
ON DECK: Kansas State will have a tough road contest at Nebraska on its hands while Oklahoma will play host to Kansas this weekend.
NEBRASKA (23-17, 8-10)
VS. NO. 5 TEXAS
(33-12, 14-4)
SERIES: TEXAS, 2-1
IN THE HOLE: Following a complete-game, two-hit shutout from Tony Watson (4-2) on Friday, Nebraska starting pitchers Johnny Dorn (6-2) and Matt Foust (1-2) allowed 13 runs in 6-1/3 combined innings on Saturday and Sunday.
ON DECK: Nebraska remains at home to face Kansas State this weekend while Texas stays on the road to face Oklahoma State.
UP: After an 0-for-4 day on Friday, Texas right fielder Kyle Russell resumed his onslaught on opposing pitchers. On Saturday and Sunday, the nation's home run leader went 6-for-9 with two home runs (22, 23), five RBI and three runs.
NO. 18 TEXAS A&M (32-10,
9-8) VS. NO. 12 OKLAHOMA
STATE (31-10, 10-5)
SERIES: OKLAHOMA STATE,
UP: Oklahoma State left fielder Ty Wright had a solid series, going 6-for-12 with three RBI and five runs, but his series-clinching home run (5) on Sunday was the highlight of his weekend.
IN THE HOLE: Texas A&M couldn't find the starting pitching to follow-up Kyle Nicholson's (9-1) victorious nine-strikeout performance on Friday. Kyle Thebeau (2-4), who started for the Aggies earlier this season, came in late in Saturday and Sunday's games only to let the Cowboys pull ahead.
ON DECK: Texas A&M will try to recover with two home games this weekend against Baylor, while Oklahoma State will challenge the top team in the conference, Texas, at home.

Golfer hits 132-yard shot to win Zurich Classic
AVONDALE, La. — Third-year PGA Tour pro Nick Watney was in New Orleans, with all of its renowned restaurants, and ate at a fast food restaurant for dinner.
"I think I'll be the same person, but I get to play The Masters and go to Kapalua (Hawaii) to start the year, so I'm very excited," Watney said Sunday evening, shortly after his 3-under 69 on a tough TPC Louisiana course gave him a three-stroke victory over Ken Duke.
Maybe now that he's taking home nearly $1.1 million in prize money for winning the Zurich Classic, the lanky, clean-cut 25-year-old will treat himself to fancier fare. Or maybe not.
Watney had never tasted victory on the tour before he arrived here.
He had never even led an event after three rounds, which might explain why he didn't have the appetite for a refined, multi-course meal

best through his opening four holes, two of which he bogeyed to quickly squander the two-shot lead he had taken during the third round.
His response to the early adversity was to drain the shot of the tournament — a 132-yard approach that he hit with a wedge on the par-4 fifth,
said. "I mean, any time you hole a shot there's a little luck involved, so it was definitely my week. I'm proud that I was able to handle it."
Watney's highest previous finish was fifth
in two tournaments last year. And it looked as though he may fall short again when he lost the lead to Duke by missing a 3-foot par putt on the par-4 10th. He bounced back with a birdie on the par-5 11th and went in front for good with a birdie on the par-3 14th.

Four straight home runs lead Red Sox to sweep
Injuries ravage Yankee pitching
BY JIM LITKE ASSOCIATED PRESS
After decades of study, scientists revealed nearly three weeks ago that a disease may help explain the long-running feud between the Hatfields and McCoys. Had those same researchers asked, Red Sox fans could have suggested something much simpler.
Envy.
Sunday night's extravaganza between the Red Sox and the Yankees marked the 1,975th time the two teams met in the regular season since 1903, and rarely has it produced a more satisfying weekend in Boston. The Red Sox came from behind to win all three games, sweeping a series against the
Yankees in Fenway for the first time since 1990. Boston hit four straight home runs in the span of 10 pitches in the third inning of the last one, a feat that's been accomplished only five times in major league history.
By the end of that back-to-back-to-back-to-back sequence, it was harder to tell whether the better party was taking place in the Red Sox dugout or the stands, jammed with a crowd of 36,905, the second largest at Fenway since World War II.
For all that, though, New York left town still holding a 191-game lead in the regular-season tally, with 14 ties, not to mention 26 World Series titles to Boston's half-dozen.
With five more series scheduled between the division rivals even before a possible playoff matchup, Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell cautioned the locals not to get too excited.
"You've got to keep it in perspective," said Lowell, the hero of Sunday's night'sug-of-war. "It's April."
Besides, the Red Sox had just about everything in their favor. Manager Terry Francona's rotation happened to align just perfectly for the series, with Big Three starters Curt Shilling, Josh Beckett
and Daisuke Matsuzaka prepared to give the Yankees a preview of what to expect should the two teams meet in October.
"We didn't maneuver to have it work out
this way," Francona said as the weekend began, "but we're not going to apologize for having those three going."
"You've got to keep it in perspective. It's April."
the disabled list and with only one rehab start, on Saturday, then coming back with Chase Wright, making just his second major league start, on Sunday. But it wasn't as if he had a choice. Thanks to a variety of aches and pains, the top of his rotation — Chien-Ming Wang,
On the other hand, Yankee manager Joe Torre should have apologized for throwing Jeff Karstens, fresh off
MIKE LOWELL Boston third baseman
Mike Mussina and Carl Pavano — wasn't available for anything more strenuous than playing catch.
During a mid- inning interview on TV, Torre bravely mumbled something about playing with "the team you have" rather than the "one you wish you had." The Yankees still have the largest payroll in baseball — $195.2 million, with Boston next at $143.5 million—and four of the top seven names on the
salary list. And if the guy at the very top, Alex Rodriguez, wasn't having one of the most productive months in history, general manager Brian Cashman might have his checkbook out already.
The last time the teams met in Boston, the Yankees swept a fivegame series in August that in effect locked up the American League East title. Karstens had still not thrown a pitch in the major leagues and Wright had yet to make a start above Class Double-A.
Matsuzaka, meanwhile, was still in Japan, not yet the central figure in a bidding war that would eventually cost the Red Sox $103.1 million to lure him to Boston. He gave up six runs in seven-plus innings, but he got a lot more support than in his two previous starts and had the good sense to say about his good fortune, "There's no way I can be satisfied."
Once the buzz from the weekend
quiets down, Red Sox fans would be wise to take those words to heart. Their World Series title in 2004 raised expectations considerably, and the cost of doing business by even more.
They caught the Yankees as short-handed as they're likely to be the rest of the way. They beat closer Mariano Rivera to get one win, and collected two more by beating kids who asked their new teammates for advice on how to handle the atmosphere at Fenway and still pitched like they didn't have a clue.
New Yorkers still like to joke that the rivalry between the two towns resembles the rivalry "between a hammer and a nail," and thorough as the beating was over the weekend, there was nothing to indicate the Yankees plan on being on the receiving end for long.
"We didn't play well and we lost three games," said Yankee captain Derek jeter. "But we've got 147 left."

New York bans metal bats
BY SARA KUGLER ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Metal bats will be banned from high school baseball in the nation's largest school system starting this September after the City Council on Monday overrode a mayoral veto of the bill.
The measure outlawed metal bats under the theory that they produce balls with greater velocity and raise the risk of injury because of less reaction time. Opponents, including Little League Baseball and equipment suppliers, say there is no evidence metal bats are more dangerous.
Youth leagues and lawmakers are proposing similar bans in other areas, including New Jersey, where
a 12-year-old boy went into cardiac arrest and suffered serious injuries after a batted ball struck him in the chest.
In New York City, Mayor Michael Bloomberg vetoed the bat ban this month, saying the issue should be left up to those who run the youth leagues, not the government. But the City Council overwhelmingly knocked down the veto by a vote of 41-4.
"What we're trying to do is reduce risk," said Councilman James Oddo, the sponsor of the bill.
Opponents argue that there is no scientific evidence proving metal bats pose a greater danger than wood bats and that the anti-metal movement relies on emotional anecdotes instead of data.
Shortly after the council's vote, a group of opponents announced plans to file a federal lawsuit seeking to block the ban.
Donald Douglas, director of the Public Schools Athletic League, joined the suit and said in a statement that baseball "is safe and thriving a generation after metal bats were introduced." He said there was "no compelling reason to make a change."
Little League president Stephen D. Keener, who was not part of the suit, issued a statement saying the organization is "disappointed in the action taken today by the New York City Council to override the logic and sensibility of Mayor Bloomberg's veto."

Colts honored at White House
BY BEN FELLER ASSOCIATED PRESS
Apparently, President Bush has taken notice while flipping the channels.
WASHINGTON — Even when football season ends, superstar quarterback Peyton Manning is hard to miss on TV. He has become such a marketable pitchman that his commercials — a sports drink here, a credit card company there — seem endless.
"So a lot of people here in the White House compound have been really looking forward to seeing Peyton Manning," Bush said Monday on the South Lawn. "They wanted to see a guy who gets more
air time than I do."
The good-natured poke came as Bush welcomed another championship team to the White House: The Indianapolis Colts.
The Colts beat the Chicago Bears, 29-17, in a pounding rainstorm last February to become Super Bowl champs. On Monday, players basked in the sunshine below the South Portico, as Bush hailed them for ignoring naysayers and playing as a well-balanced team.
Soaring above
As he usually does at these events, Bush played up the theme of perseverance. He liked that the Colts fought through ups and downs.
"Isn't that what life is about, isn't it really?" Bush said. "Through the ups — it's easy to fight hard in the ups. It's when the downs come that
you've got to be a fighter."
The team's coach, Tony Dungy, became the first black coach to win a Super Bowl. Long one of the most respected figures in the National Football League, Dungy coped with the suicide of his son, James, in late 2005. Bush alluded to that.
"He is a man who has used his—a position of notoriety to behave in a quiet and strong way in the face of personal tragedy that has influenced a lot of our fellow citizens." Bush said of Dungy, who stood next to him on stage. "And I want to thank you for your courage."

Kansas City Royals' John Buck watches as the ball goes over the left field wall for a two-run homer during a baseball game against the Chicago White Sox in the fifth innning Monday.
By beating Jimmy Gobble (0-1), who allowed Jim Thome's double leading off the eighth, the White Sox won for the first time in five decisions against left-handers this year. Kansas City's bullpen dropped to 0-6 with five blown saves in nine opportunities.
Pinch-hitter Reggie Sanders cut the lead to 5-4 with an RBI single off Andrew Sisco in the bottom half of the eighth. Thome hit an RBI single in the ninth and Konerko had a sacrifice fly.
John Buck's two-run homer in the fifth had put Kansas City ahead.
Konerko's sixth-inning homer was his first in 64 at-bats, and they were the first earned runs Meche allowed in 22 innings. Meche gave up three runs and eight hits in seven innings, his ERA rising from 2.22 to 2.55.

Rockies lack power
BY MIKE FITZPATRICK ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — John Maine has been on top of his game all season for the New York Mets, and now Carlos Delgado is beginning to find his power stroke.
Maine pitched into the eighth inning and Delgado hit his first home run of the year, leading New York
over the punchless Colorado Rockies 6-1 on Monday night.
Jose Valentin had a three-run homer and four RBI, while Moises Alou went 3-for-3 with a walk and two runs to help the Mets rebound after losing two of
consecutive three-hit game for Colorado, which has lost 14 of 15 at Shea Stadium from 2003 on. Once known as the Blake Street Bombers, the Rockies have not homered in six straight games, matching a franchise record that was accomplished twice in 2002.

Hurdle, at a loss to explain the power outage. "It's slowing things down. The consistency is what we are lacking, one big knock to loosen things up."
Playing their
first game outside the NL West, the Rockies (8-12) lost for the fourth time in five overall. They have only seven homers all season, fewest in the major leagues.
"We've got a lot of good hitters.
We get a couple guys going and it'll
be contagious," Holliday said.
After taking a no-hit bid into the seventh inning during his previous outing Wednesday at Florida, Maine (3-0) allowed seven hits in 7 2-3 innings to lower his ERA to 1.71. He has lasted at least seven innings in three of his four starts.
"I've been working hard on conditioning, things like that, and it's paid off," Maine said. "My goal coming into the season was going out there and pitching at least six innings each time out there. I had a tough time with that last year."
The 25-year-old right-hander walked two and struck out five, including No.8 batter Clint Barmes three times.
"It's nice to watch him," Delgado said. "He's one of the key components of this ballclub. If he does good, we're going to do well. And he's been a big difference from last year. He's a little bit more mature, he's a little bit more under control."
Barmes also fanned in the ninth against Ambiorix Burgos, who walked three before retiring Garrett Atkins on a game-ending foul popup.

Vancouver advances after defeating Dallas
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Vancouver Canucks got past the first round for the second time since 1995. The Dallas Stars are going home early for a third
straight season.
Trevor Linden scored the goahead goal on a power play seven minutes into the third period to lift the Canucks to a 4-1 Game 7 win on Monday night, ending the Stars attempt to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the best-of-seven series.
Linden, a former Canucks captain playing in his ninth career Game 7 for Vancouver, tipped Mattias Ohlund's quick point shot through the legs of Stars goalie Marty Turco, the puck barely trickling over the goal line inside the far post.

A few women appear to hang on her every word, while others shift uncomfortable in their seats as she flips on the buzzing vibrators and begins passing them around for closer inspection.
Some women examine the toys from every angle, while others quickly pass them on as if it's going to burn their hands.
The woman in front of the room, Danielle Hay, is putting on a Slumber Party - a gathering of women in private homes where sex toys are shown and purchased much like housewares and cosmetics at Tupperware and Mary Kay parties.
Slumber Parties — although designated to sell products — are designed to educate and empower women to take control of their sexuality, Hay said. On this particular night, Hay is empowering college-age women in Lawrence.
The home-based parties offer women a chance to view and test some products exclusive to Slumber Parties in the company of their friends rather than in a public store, where they could run into their professors or other people they know

School adds two graduate degrees
ENGINEERING
BY NATHAN GILL
The University of Kansas School of Engineering will offer two new graduate degrees in bioengineering next semester, contributing to the rapid growth of biosciences in Kansas and the nation.
The two new degrees will be a masters and doctoral of sciences in bioengineering.
Stuart Bell, dean of engineering, said that bioengineering, the application of mechanical processes to
the human body, was one of the fastest growing fields of engineering.
He said that the growth in the life sciences industry in Kansas, fueled in part by millions of dollars in state investment in universities and
"We've definitely had a lot of interest in it. It seems to be an up-and-coming popular degree."

start-up companies, was one of the reasons for starting the new degree programs.
"Our overriding goal is to match up our programs with this regional emphasis as well as our national emphasis in bioengineering," Bell said.
Glen Marotz, interim director of bioengineering, said bioengineers were in a people-serving profession. He said the work of bioengineers could include improving drug delivery and manufacturing methods to developing better prostheses and
Marotz said the program was the only such graduate program in Kansas, and that it combined faculty researchers and instructors from the various engineering fields, such as mechanical and chemical, and medical fields like pharmacy and biochemistry. He said the school had been recruiting faculty for the program for the last four or five years. The school has also been renovating space in Learned Hall for a new Bioengineering Research Center.

"We're preparing to see pretty big growth in this area," Marotz said.
Nickie Lee, graduate recruiter for engineering, said that 10 graduate students were currently committed to KU
bioengineering for the fall, which she said was good for the first crop of students. She said many students interested in the program were engineers who had an interest in medicine, but not patient care.

"We don't know that much about it," Hosey said. "We haven't received any letters and we are not going to go approach them."
Union representative Pat Stewart said that letters were sent to Construction Design and Management and the Office of External Affairs. Stewart said the union had problems with Midwest Drywall Co.

Stewart said the University should still be held responsible even though the University was not directly responsible for hiring Midwest Drywall, a Wichita-based company.
"Midwest Dryland does not pay an area standard wage, including
fully paying for and providing for health care and pension to all their carpenter craft employees on all their projects," Stewart said. "We're running a public awareness campaign to spread that information."

Who's Who at KU Ellen Stolle
BY RACHEL BURCHFIELD
Ellen Stole, a double major in biochemistry and genetics, wants to become a surgeon one day.
Stolle, a Prairie Village junior, already has experience in the medical field as a volunteer at a local health clinic and has also prepared herself for her future career in another way. Thanks to her busy schedule due to her enormous amount of involvement on campus, she is prepared to handle her future career.
"I know that being a surgeon will be demanding of my time, but as busy as I've been here it won't be too hard to adjust," she said. "My diverse
involvement will help me maintain other things outside of my time-consuming career"
Last week Stolle won the Outstanding Woman Student in Leadership Award from the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and with good reason - not only is Stolle a cheerleader and the president of the Student Alumni Association, she also held offices in her sorority, Gamma Phi Beta, and is involved in several other activities ranging from the Board of Class Officers to the Chemistry Club.
Stolle is a member of many honor societies on campus and works with the Office of Admissions and
Scholarships on its Hawk Talk program. She said she never really considered herself a leader until she was nominated by her sorority sisters for the leadership award, which she later won.
"It was a really big honor," she said. "That my peers thought that I was doing the right thing made me realize that I am a leader, and I have an opportunity to influence younger students."
Stolle describes herself as a motivator who tries to get others involved. Getting involved at the University wasn't difficult for Stolle. She was involved in high school at Shawne Mission East and because the University of Kansas "felt like home," she said she wasn't worried about adjusting.
"It was easy to get involved with so many different things," she said.
To budget her time she relies heavily on her planner, which is filled with different things to do every day.
"In my free time, I do what I need to do for school," she said. "I have to stay organized to keep on top of
things."
Though finding time for everything can be challenging, Stolle said that it was important to become involved on campus.
"On a huge campus it is so easy to get lost in your own little world," she said. "Being involved opens your eyes to all kinds of people at KU from all kids of different backgrounds."
A year from now, she will be preparing to graduate from the University and move on to medical school. She wants to be remembered as someone who gave her all in everything that she did and as someone who encouraged others to do the same.
"I want to be remembered as well-rounded and someone who was pretty involved," she said. "I want to be known as someone who put 100 percent into everything that I did, and that I did everything that I could while I was here and I gave other students opportunities."

odd news
Mineral found in Serbia resembles kryptonite
A mineral recently discovered in Serbia has the same composition as kryptonite — the fictional substance that robots Superman of his powers — the British Museum said Tuesday. While the material is not a perfect match, its chemical breakdown is strikingly similar.
A drill core of the unusual mineral was unearthed in Serbia by the mining group Rio Tinto PLC.
The material is white, powdery and not radioactive — unlike the glowing green crystals usually depicted in the Superman comics. It will be formally named Jadarite when it is described in the European Journal of Mineralogy later this year.

NO AL ABORTO
Anti-abortion activists, wearing skull masks, protest near the City Legislator on Tuesday in Mexico City as legislators prepare to vote on legalizing abortion this Tuesday. The proposal, which would take effect with the leftist mayor's expected signature, has alarmed Mexico's conservative ruling party and prompted the Vatican to send its top anti-abortion campaigner to the Mexican capital.
Mexico City legalizes abortions
BY MARK STEVENSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY — Mexico City lawmakers voted to legalize abortion Tuesday, a decision likely to influence policies and health practices across Mexico and other parts of heavily Roman Catholic Latin America.
The proposal, approved 46-19, with one abstention, would take effect with the expected signing by the federal district's leftist mayor. But abortion opponents have already vowed to appeal the law to the Supreme Court, a move likely to extend the bitter and emotional debate in this predominantly Catholic nation.
The law alarmed Mexico's conservative ruling party and prompted the Vatican to send its top anti-abortion campaigner to the Mexican capital.
Nationally, Mexico allows abortion only in cases of rape, severe birth defects or if the woman's life is at risk, and doctors sometimes even deny the procedure under
those circumstances. The new law will require city hospitals to provide the procedure and opens the way for private abortion clinics.Girls under 18 would have to get their parents' consent.
The procedure will be almost free for poor or insured city residents, but is unlikely to attract patients from the United States, where later-term abortion is legal in many states. Under the Mexico City law, abortion after 12 weeks would be punished by three to six months in jail.
U.S.military charges minor
》 WAR CRIMES
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — The U.S. military filed a murder charge Tuesday against the Canadian son of an alleged al-Qaida financier, who was captured at age 15 in Afghanistan and has spent almost five years at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay.
Al-Qaida-trained teenager allegedly threw grenade at soldier
Omar Khadr, now 20, allegedly joined the Taliban in Afghanistan and threw a grenade that killed a U.S. Green Beret soldier in July 2002. He was captured as he lay wounded after that firefight at an al-Qaida compound in eastern Afghanistan.
The U.S. military charged him with murder, attempted murder, providing support to terrorism, conspiracy and spying under rules for military trials adopted last year and first used to try David Hicks, the Australian sentenced to nine months in prison after pleading guilty.
The military. said the Torontoborn Khadr would be arraigned within 30 days. He faces a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
Khadr's Pentagon-appointed defense attorney, Marine Lt. Col. Colby Vokey, said the U.S. would become the first country in modern history to try a war crimes suspect who was a child at the time of the alleged violations. The conspiracy charge is based on acts allegedly committed when Khadr
was younger than 10, Vokey said.
The attorney urged Canada and the United States to negotiate a "political resolution" of the case to spare Khadr from a guaranteed conviction by "one of the greatest show trials on earth."
Opponents of the detention center at Guantanamo Bay criticized authorities for subjecting Khadr to
the same military trial system as adult terror suspects. In any other conflict, he would have been treated as a child soldier, said Jumana Musa, advocacy director of Amnesty International.
28, of Albuquerque, N.M., and wounded Army Sgt. Layne Morris, of West Jordan, Utah. The charges say those acts were carried out "in violation of the law of war," but did not elaborate.
Speer's widow and Morris filed a civil lawsuit against Khadr and his father. In February, a judge awarded them $102.6 million.
"From the beginning, he was never treated in accordance with his age. He was treated like any adult taken into custody."
JUMANA MUSA Amnesty International
"This was, in fact, a child," Musa said. "From the beginning, he was never treated in accordance with his age. He was treated like any adult taken into custody."
The U.S. military said Khadr hurled a grenade that killed Army Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer,
"The Defense Department will continue to uphold the law and bring unlawful enemy combatants to justice through the military commissions process," he said.
A Pentagon spokesman, Navy Cmdr, Jeffrey Gordon, said Khadr must be held accountable.
The military alleges that Khadr also conducted surveillance of U.S. troops and planted land mines targeting American convoys.
Khadr allegedly received a month of basic training from al-
Qaida in June 2002 that included the use of rocket-propelled grenades, rifles, pistols and explosives, according to the charge sheet signed by Susan J. Crawford, the convening authority for the military commissions.
Several of Khadr's family members have been accused of ties to Islamic extremists. His Egyptian-born father, Ahmad Said al-Khadr, was killed in Pakistan in 2003 alongside senior al-Qaida operatives. Canada is holding Khadr's brother Abdullah on a U.S. extradition warrant accusing him of supplying weapons to al-Qaida.
Suicide bombing kills nine Americans
BY KIM GAMEL ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — An al-Qaida-linked group claimed Tuesday that it used "new methods" in staging a double suicide bombing with dump trucks that blasted a paratrooper outpost in volatile Diyala province, killing nine Americans from the 82nd Airborne Division and wounding 20.
The attack underscored the ability of guerrillas of the Sunni Arab-dominated insurgency to wage war
in traj four years after the U.S.-led invasion, and it came in a region that has seen violence escalate since U.S. and Iraqi troops launched the security crackdown in Baghdad.
The first truck hit outlying concrete barriers surrounding the outpost at Sadah and exploded after soldiers opened fire. A second truck rammed into the wrecked vehicles, dragging it and other rubble before it exploded 30 yards from the building housing the post's troops, said Lt. Col. Michael Donnelly, U.S. military spokesman in north Iraq.
According to a senior Pentagon official, at least some of the casualties may have been caused by two walls of the former two-story schoolhouse collapsing from Monday's blast. The official said 15 of the wounded soldiers had returned to duty.
All the casualties were in the 5th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, which has been conducting operations in largely impoverished villages in the area.
April is now the deadliest month of the year for the U.S. military.

WAR IN IRAQ
NFL star's death misconstrued
BY ERICA WERNER ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — An Army Ranger who was with Pat Tillman when the former football star was cut down by friendly fire in Afghanistan said Tuesday a commanding officer had ordered him to keep quiet about what happened.
The military at first portrayed Tillman's death as the result of heroic combat with the enemy, Army Spc. Bryan O'Neal told a congressional hearing that when he got the chance to talk to Tillman's brother, who had been in a nearby convoy on the fateful day, "I was ordered not to tell him what happened."
"You were ordered not to tell him?" repeated Rep. Henry
Waxman (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
"Roger that, Sir," replied O'Neal, dressed in his Army uniform.
The revelation came as committee members questioned whether, and when, top Defense officials and the White House knew that Tillman's death in eastern Afghanistan three years ago was actually a result of gunfire from fellow U.S. soldiers.
Tillman's death received worldwide attention because he had walked away from a huge contract with the NFL's Arizona Cardinals to enlist in the Army after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Tillman was awarded a Silver Star based on fabricated accounts — who fabricated them still isn't clear after several investigations.
Susan Walsh/Associated Press

"We don't know what the secretary of defense knew, we don't know what the White House knew," Waxman said. "What we do know is these were not a series of accidents, these stories. They were calculatedly put out for a public relations purpose. ... Even now there seems to be a cover-up."
Kevin Tillman, brother of NFL star-turned-Army Ranger Pat Tillman, who was killed by friendly-fire in Afghanistan, testifies Tuesday before the House Oversight and Government Reform hearing.
Kevin Tillman was in a convoy behind his older brother, a former NFL star, on April 22, 2004, when Pat Tillman was mistakenly shot by other Army Rangers who had just emerged from a canyon where they'd been fired upon. Kevin Tillman didn't see what happened. O'Neal said he was ordered not to tell him by then-Lt. Col. Jeff Bailey, the battalion commander who oversaw Tillman's platoon.
"He basically just said, Sir, that uh, 'Do not let Kevin know, he's probably in a bad place knowing that his brother's dead," "O'Neal testified. "He made it known that I would get in trouble, Sir, if I spoke with Kevin."
O'Neal said he was "quite appalled" by the order.
Bailey's superior officer, thenCol. James C. Nixon, has testified to the Defense Department's inspector general that he ordered that information on the facts of Tillman's death be shared with as few people as possible so that the Tillman family would not learn those facts through news media leaks. That, in turn, shaped Bailey's guidance to his troops.
The Army said initially that Tillman was killed by enemy gunfire while trying to help another group of ambushed soldiers. The family was not told what really happened until May 29, 2004, a delay the Army blamed on procedural mistakes.
Kevin Tillman and Tillman's mother, Mary Tillman, also testified Tuesday but were not in the room when O'Neal spoke.

Planet 120 trillion miles away shares characteristics with Earth
BY SETH BORENSTEIN ASSOCIATED PRESS
SUNIT
WASHINGTON — For the first time astronomers have discovered a planet outside our solar system that is potentially habitable, with Earthlike temperatures, a find researchers described Tuesday as a big step in the search for "life in the universe."
Swiss astrophysicist and director of the Geneva Observatory, Michel Mayor, left, and Swiss astrophysicist Stephane Udry, right, hold an artist rendering on Tuesday showing the planetary system around the red dwarf Giese 581. Mayor and Udry have discovered a planet outside our solar system that is potentially as habitable as Earth, at left, with similar temperatures, they announced.
Habitable planet discovered
The planet is just the right size, might have water in liquid form, and in galactic terms is relatively nearby at 120 trillion miles away. But the star it closely orbits, known as a "red dwarf", is much smaller, dimmer and cooler than our sun.
There's still a lot that is unknown about the new planet, which could be deemed inhospitable to life once more is known about it. And it's worth noting that scientists' requirements for habitability count Mars in that category: a size relatively similar to Earth's with temperatures that would permit liquid water. However, this is the first outside our solar system that meets those standards.
"It's a significant step on the way to finding possible life in the universe," said University of Geneva astronomer Michel Mayor, one of 11 European scientists on the team that found the planet. "It's a nice discovery. We still have a lot of questions."
The results of the discovery have not been published but have been submitted to the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.
》 OUTER SPACE
like Earth, which is what the prevailing theory proposes, it has a diameter about 1 1/2 tines bigger than our planet. If it is an iceball, as Mayor suggests, it would be even bigger.
785. 856.5848
Alan Boss, who works at the Carnegie Institution of Washington where a U.S. team of astronomers competed in the hunt for an Earthlike planet, called it "a major milestone in this business."
The planet was discovered by the European Southern Observatory's telescope in La Silla, Chile, which has a special instrument that splits light to find wobbles in different wave lengths. Those wobbles can reveal the existence of other worlds.
What they revealed is a planet circling the red dwarf star, Gliese 581. Red dwarfs are low-energy, tiny stars that give off dim red light and last longer than stars like our sun. Until a few years ago, astronomers didn't consider
Based on theory, 581 c should have an atmosphere, but what's in that atmosphere is still a mystery and if it's too thick that could make the planet's surface temperature too hot, Mayor said. However, the research team believes the average temperature to be somewhere between 32

The discovery of the new planet, named 581 c, is sure to fuel studies of planets circling similar dim stars. About 80 percent of the stars near Earth are red dwarfs.
and 104 degrees and that set off celebrations among astronomers.
The new planet is about five times heavier than Earth. Its discoverers aren't certain if it is rocky like Earth or if its a frozen ice ball with liquid water on the surface. If it is rocky

The new planet seems just right or at least that's what scientists think.
"This could be very important," said NASA astrobiology expert Chris McKay, who wasn't part of the discovery team. "It doesn't mean there is life, but it means it's an Earth-like planet in terms of potential habitability."

ENTERTAINMENT Film critic plans return to public eye at festival
CHICAGO — Roger Ebert plans to attend his annual festival for overlooked movies this week, returning to public view for the first time since having cancer surgery.
The 64-year-old film critic had surgery June 16 to remove a cancerous growth on his salivary gland. He also had emergency surgery July 1 after a blood vessel burst near the site of the operation.
In a column in Tuesday's Chicago Sun-Times, Ebert wrote that what happened was cancer of the salivary gland had spread to his right lower jaw. A segment of the mandible was removed, and two operations to replace that segment were both unsuccessful, "leading to unanticipated bleeding."
A tracheostomy, which opens an airway through an incision in the windpipe, was done, meaning Ebert cannot speak.
"The doctors now plan an approach that does not involve the risk of unplanned bleeding. If all goes well, my speech will be restored," he wrote.
Ebert will watch the ninth annual overlooked Film Festival, which begins Wednesday night at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, from the audience. "I will be wearing a gauze bandage around my neck, and my mouth will be seen to droop."
"I was told photos of me in this condition would attract the gossip papers," he wrote. "So what?"
Ebert wrote that friends were worried about unflattering photos of him being taken and unkind comments being written. He wrote that he doesn't care. "We spend too much time hiding illness."

Willie Nelson and his tour manager were spared jail time Tuesday after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor count of marijuana possession.
Nelson, tour manager plead guilty to possession
for Ebert during his recovery.
Nelson and tour manager David Anderson, along with Nelson's sister, Bobbie Nelson, and two drivers, were issued citations on Sept. 18 after state troopers said they found marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms on the country legend's tour bus during a commercial-vehicle inspection on Interstate 10.
State District Judge Paul deMahy fined Nelson and Anderson $1,024 each and put both on probation for six months. As part of a plea agreement, the citation against Bobbie Nelson was dismissed.

》 OUR VIEW
Youth find little hope in politics
Trouble is brewing in our nation's capital — so goes the storyline of our national press corps, anyway.
The current debate over the pending war spending bill, the symbolic battleground for PresidentBush and his Congressional opponents, is being billed in the
national media as a "showdown" of titanic proportions, a "fierce clash" between opposing ideologies that will determine who holds sway in post-midterm Washington. In short, it's a legislative skirmish that will alter our war policy for the foreseeable future.
Unfortunately for those engaged in an actual, tangible clash overseas, this debate is a showdown in name only, a nominal and semantic fight over who can make the best case to the voters in 2008. The Democrats, their bill already laden with the kind of earmarked pork they promised to purge from Congress, see the installation of benchmarks and timetables as the best way to become the party that supports soldiers the most. President Bush, apparently psychologically incapable to accept any kind of compromise, test he be seen as conceding, promises to veto any bill that includes those benchmarks. This "debate" is nothing more than an electoral chicken run, with each side hoping the other bails first.
Young people are weary of the war, and not simply because we grew up in what has been termed a 'holiday from history.' We are depressed instead by the shifting foundations, absence of feasible ideas and prospects for the future.
little to nothing to the war effort, keeping us from emotional investment beyond the ideological. New tactics are rolled out every few months by war planners in an effort to stem the tide of violence, a sort of Noke Coke way of policymaking that is so far failing. Futile
Meanwhile, the actual war drags on and on, mostly out of sight and mind for American voters, a product of the almost total absence of shared sacrifice. Most of us are asked to give
strategies become little more than pop culture buzzwords for myopic planning, while touring politicians praise the "openness" of street markets as they are protected by scores of accompanying soldiers.
As we have disturbingly seen so many times before, what was supposed to be political debate has instead devolved into political theater, a scripted competition between two sets of performers. Each side jockeys for linguistic position, speaking in lofty platitudes about the "signs of progress" and "failure of leadership", while each clamors to be seen, in carefully refined voter research, as the party with the most support for troops.
Young people are weary of the war, and not simply because we grew up in what has been termed a "holiday from history." We are depressed instead by the shifting foundations, absence of feasible ideas and prospects for the future. While our elected leaders bloviate, the hopes of young citizens grow dimmer and dimmer.

COMMENTARY
MTV doesn't follow its own original motto
Recently I saw a commercial for some multicolored phone as anorexic looking as its intended purchaser, and in this commercial I heard a song entitled "Love Today" by Mika. Hearing this song reminded me of when, a few months back, some friends of mine had heard this song on a commercial on MTV promoting either the Real World, Road Rules or one of the competition programs between the two. When I realized it was the same song I'd heard months before on MTV, I thought "Man, those people at MTV sure know their music." Then I realized that was the most ridiculous thought I have had in my entire life. Of course MTV should know their music. My surprise made me realize how long it had been since I completely wrote them off as a waste of time.
When MTV debuted in 1981 it was amazing. It rode on the new
technology of cable and only played music, kept a generation up with the pulse of the industry. It seemed to maintain the integrity of this pursuit for years afterwards.
just playing music, as its name seems to suggest. In the late 1980s it created new programs which, although not entirely music, did at least relate. Shows like "Yo MTV Raps!" deviated from the straight-up music video approach, but at least focused on music. Even into the early 1990s, shows like "Beavis and Butthead" showed the two talking about music videos.
BY ZACH WHITE
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
Then one event occurred that changed the purpose of the channel forever. "The Real World," about seven people who know little to
nothing about music "picked to live in a house to find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real," first aired in 1992. For the past 16 years, MTV
has had little more than "unscripted" footage of drunk people yelling at each other in a house, or an RV, filled out with occasional asinine and unnecessarily provocative dating shows. Oh, and "jackass."
To be fair they have heard the cries of the disappointed masses over the sweet melody of cheap production costs and ever increasing ad revenue from everyone wanting to cash in on that hip teen demographic. Even as far back as 1985, they debuted VH1 to take some of the music playing burden, and then again in 1996 with MTV2. But just like their predecessor, these stations have left their intended paths and become a collection of cultural retrospectives, and MTV reruns and cast-offs respectively.
I understand that it's nothing new to criticize MTV for apparently forgetting what the first letter of their name stands for. It's not unlike something the comedian Todd Barry said of roasting Chevy Chase. That it's "not so much like shooting fish in a barrel, as looking at fish in a barrel, or being somewhere near a barrel." It's just that it's disheartening to see the tiniest glimmer of MTV's past glory and purpose, but only as a means of promoting the crap that corrupted it.

》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Students should be provided with free forums of expression to prevent isolation
I think back to Columbine almost eight years ago. I remember the shock that gripped me immediately afterwards. I literally had no idea how such a thing could happen outside of the "Well the guy was just crazy" stock response. The vicious shooting occurred in the spring in Littleton, Colo., a quiet middle-class suburban town. Of all places, why did it happen there? Fast-forward to the spring of 2007, and here we are again asking the same question after the Virginia Tech shootings.
I have noticed one recurring theme with these school shootings. In an Associated Press article about the Virginia Tech shooter what most stood out to me was that he was described as a "loner." This is the same way the Columbine
shooters were described in 1999. Coincidence? I think not.
It's isolation that is the driving force behind school shootings. In this specific case, like Columbine, the specific culprit was again suburbia.
According to the AP article the shooter grew up in suburbia. This repressive environment is the one I was subjected to for almost fifteen years. This was the place where anything thoughtful or controversial often received a "you can't talk about that here" or "moving on" from both students and teachers.
What both the Columbine and Virginia Tech massacres illustrate is the problem of silencing people's voices either through insistence that what they have to say doesn't matter, or by compliance without
an opportunity to get ideas out in the form of a public forum. My high school was considered one of the best in the country, and the school only sanctioned a literary magazine that came out once a year and a newspaper that was not receptive to controversial issues. Likewise, this alienated many people. The Virginia Tech shooter too, grew up in suburbia and became a creative writer, probably because he felt he had no voice at school.
The persistent message of "We really don't care who you are," was one that dominated my high school and angered others. Perhaps this is what the shooter was thinking when he opened fire on that crowded classroom. Whatever the case, he no longer viewed these people as people, which justified this behavior to him. No pattern to the killing emerged following the shooting, though according to a note he left he cited "rich kids," "debauchery" and "deceitful charlatans" as people he rallied against.
In conclusion, what I take from the Virginia Tech shootings is the story of a 23-year-old man fighting for an identity in an environment that repeatedly told him his identity doesn't matter. What we can learn from this is that if we do not provide students with a public forum to stretch their creative wills they will turn to violence expressing all of their pain in greater and greater tragedies.

During the private meeting a woman can try on Hay's limited supply of lingerie. Hay offers a discount if the women show at least one party guest the outfit. Each distributor chooses their own supply of lingerie.
Hay said her decision to become a Slumber Parties distributor wasn't all about money. She liked the idea of educating women about their needs in the bedroom.

He said the knowledge she has gained from medical school also helped her educate her clients.

He said, for example, that there was only one type of orgasm but numerous ways to achieve an orgasm, contradicting what Hay said about four kinds of orgasms.

WEATHER
WEATHER Rain, snow, tornadoes pummel Midwest states
DENVER — A storm system piled more than a foot of snow on the Colorado foothills Tuesday and hit the Plains with violent thunderstorms, flooding rainfall and hail.
A tornado damaged several buildings near the small town of Wild Horse about 110 miles southeast of Denver, but no injuries were reported, the Cheyenne County Sheriff's Department said. The department did not immediately have details on damage.
"I was terrified," said Wild Horse resident William Skimmer, 47, of
Wild Horse. "It was right there, by my neighbor's, just about 200 feet away."
A second twister was reported near the Colorado-Kansas line about 35 miles east of Wild Horse, but there were no immediate details.
High winds caused some damage in the Dallas-Forth Worth area, and two tornadoes were reported. It was unclear whether the twisters caused the damage.
Evergreen, Colo., in the foothills west of Denver, reported 16 inches of snow, and other foothills towns had up to 14 inches.
"There's cars sliding off the roads everywhere," said Rick Olde, owner
of Olde's Convenience Store in Evergreen.
Some schools were closed in the mountains and foothills.
Tumbling boulders, a fallen power line, accidents, slick pavement and poor visibility forced nearly a dozen door closures, including on interstates 25 and 70.
A jackknifed semi backed up traffic for nearly 20 miles on south-bound I-25 between Denver and Colorado Springs.
Hail the diameter of quarters peppered parts of southeastern Colorado, and authorities said some rural roads were blocked by flooding from heavy rain in northeast Colorado, northwest Kansas
and southwest Nebraska.
Up to 7 inches of rain was likely in parts of Nebraska, said National Weather Service meteorologist Cindy Fay in Hastings, Neb.

COURTS
NY lawyer disbarred after aiding imprisoned terrorist
NEW YORK — A civil rights lawyer convicted of helping an imprisoned terrorist sheik communicate with his disciples was disbarred Tuesday. The New York Supreme Court's Appellate Division denied Lynne Stewart's request to
voluntarily resign from the practice of law.
Stewart was convicted in 2005 of providing material support to terrorists. She had released a statement issued by one of her clients, Omar Abdel-Rahman, a blind sheik sentenced to life in prison for plotting to blow up five New York landmarks and assassinate Egypt's president.
The appellate panel said Stewart became subject to losing her law license immediately upon being convicted of a felony.
Her request to resign was in a letter dated Nov. 14, 2006, after she was convicted, and therefore could not be accepted, the court said.
Stewart was convicted of one count each of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to provide and conceal material support to terrorist activity and providing and concealing material support to terrorist activity. She also was convicted of two counts of making false statements. The state appellate court said the federal convictions of making a false statement were analogous to a state felony statute against filing a false written statement.
Stewart was sentenced to 28 months in prison. Government prosecutors had asked for a sentence of 30 years.

The Kansas Jayhawks and the Missouri Tigers will meet for the fourth time this season. The game will be considered a nonconference game because of the neutral field, which will be Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

Kansas, Missouri face off again
Border rivals meet as nonconference opponents at Kauffman Stadium
BY ALISSA BAUER
First pitch at the "K", in Kansas City, Mo., is at 7 p.m.
Tonight Kauffman Stadium will serve as more than simply the home of the Kansas City Royals. The major league ballpark will provide neutral ground for border rivals Kansas and Missouri, this time as nonconference opponents. It will be considered a nonconference game because of its neutral site.
The jayhawks (20-25, 6-12 Big 12 Conference) were one out away from taking the Big 12 series in Columbia, Mo., earlier this month when Tiger center fielder Evan Frey belted a two-run walk-off shot to center off sophomore closer Paul Smyth. Frey's
winning homer was just his second of the season, and he hit one since.
Smyth hasn't surrendered a home run since that game either.
Although the right-handed closer took the loss a week ago today against No. 10 Wichita State, his teammates have faith in the hurler that could be called upon to close in tonight's match-up.
"He's still the same Paul," junior right-hander Andres Esquibel said after the Wichita State game. "They just got little hits, nothing too major. We could've had a couple of those falling for us, but they just didn't go our way."

Frey, however, has had plenty going his way. Leading the Tigers (28-12, 9-6) in their series victory against

Baylor last weekend, Missouri's center fielder went 9-for-14 against the Bears. Frey went a perfect 5-for-5, even though Missouri missed the series sweep on Sunday.
Holding down the third spot in the Big 12 standings, Missouri has hit a hot streak by winning three of its last five. Kansas, on the other hand, is still in pursuit of consistency
as the team has dropped four of its last five, which included its fifthstraight Big 12 series loss to Texas Tech last weekend.
"I don't think they were down," Price said about his team during last weekend. "But they were obviously disappointed."
Nevertheless, the Jayhawks enter tonight coming off a victory, and the Tigers enter the pair's fourth contest of the season after a loss. Missouri holds a higher standing in the Big 12 and this season's series advantage against Kansas, but the Tigers are hitting just .282 compare to the Jayhawks' .278. The Jayhawks failed to homer this weekend, but their 36 home runs this season nearly doubled the
Tigers' 19.
An inconsistent weekend for his team had little effect on senior center fielder Kyle Murphy. Murphy had a hit in each game against the Red Raiders last weekend, going 5-for-13 for the series. He ranks second on the team with a .315 average and went 5-for-13 with four RBI against Missouri last month.
Junior lefty Zach Ashwood (3-4, 5.88) will try his hand at the mid-week starting spot, shifting out of his usual weekend slot.

Jayhawks look to continue road success tonight at Nebraska
BY EVAN KAFARAKIS
Opposing ballparks have been comfortable for the Kansas softball team this season. The Jayhawks have a 22-9-1 record away from Arrocha Ballpark.
Kansas (29-18-1, 5-8 Big 12 Conference) will take its road-winning ways north to square off against Nebraska (34-15, 7-6) tonight at 6:30. The road trip continues with a double-header against Creighton (32-10-1, 14-3-1 Missouri Valley Conference) on Thursday.
Both Nebraska and Creighton could have RPIs in the top 50 by
the end of the season, so victories this week would look good on the jayhawks' postseason resume.

Positioned in the middle of the pack after day one of competition, the Kansas men's golf team looked poised to make a run in the second and final day of action at the Big 12 Championship on Tuesday.
However, the course got the best of them. The Jayhawk golfers finished a combined 77 strokes over par, good for 10th place. Oklahoma State won the tournament.

in the second day of the event. The performance allowed him to jump 19 spots on the leader board and finish in a tie for ninth overall.
His effort garnered him a place on the all-tournament team, a feat accomplished by 10 other Kansas golfers during the 11-year history of the Big 12 Tournament.
Sophomore Walt Koelbel and his career-best round of 69 proved to be one of only a few highlights
The sophomore's outing was even more impressive considering the unforgiving qualities of the course. Not a single Big 12 golfer finished at par or better for the event.

COMMENTARY
NBA playoffs offer even casual fans excitement
BY KAYVON SARRAF
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
KSARRAF@KANSAN.COM
Fortunately, now is the time the real NBA season begins. This year's NBA playoffs offers plenty to whet the appetite of the casual sports fan even though the amount of professional basketball interest in Lawrence lies somewhere between NASCAR and Kansas men's basketball recruiting.
PASCAL MONTAGUE
As a naive young child, I once asked my dad, "What does NBA stand for?" The wise elder told me, "Not before April, son."
The fourth ex-Jayhawk in the playoffs, and the one with the best chance to walk away with a ring, is Jacque Vaughn with the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran point guard who headlined the powerful Kansas teams of the mid-'90s has somehow not learned how to make an open jump shot after 10 years in the league. Regardless, Vaughn gives the Spurs 11 solid minutes per game while starting point guard Tony Parker whispers sweet nothings to fiancée Eva Longoria on the bench.
Nevertheless, Gooden knows his role with the Cavaliers: rebound, play defense and make layups when James gives him the ball under the basket. He has done just that to the tune of 11 points and 8.5 rebounds, which makes him one of the league's rebounding leaders, per game. Also when watching Cavalier games, one can find another ex-Jayhawk in Scot Pollard simply by looking for the goofy haircut on the bench.
Three of the eight first-round playoff series include former Kansas Jayhawks, and each team has a legitimate chance to reach the NBA Finals.
While this year's regular season was full of teams openly trying to lose games in order to improve their lottery position
Kirk Hinrich is the heart and soul of the Chicago Bulls, which is one of the league's most entertaining teams. Hinrich became a fan favorite in Chicago and Lawrence because of his gritty play. It was always fun to see him routinely beat everyone down the court and then hear coaches afterward call him "deceptively athletic." The Dwyane Wade and Hinrick match-up is always exciting, with Hinrich having a history of frustrating Wade, the reigning Finals MVP.
Drew Gooden is one of the league's most fortunate big men in that he gets to play in Cleveland with LeBron James. Gooden the professional pales in comparison to Gooden the Jayhawk. It is rare to see Gooden consistently bring the effort, like many NBA players, that made him the No.4 pick of the 2002 draft.

Cubs struggle early in season... again
M. Spencer Green/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chicago Cubs manager Lou Pinelli walks from the dugout to question a call during one of the Cubs' many losses. Pinella's Cubs find themselves in last place once again early in the season.
BY RICK GANO ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — His hands jammed into his back pockets, his blue cap pulled tightly over graying hair, Lou Piniella prowls and paces the dugout daily, intently studying the game in front of him. So far, he's been watching a rerun.
Yes, it's early. And it's also so familiar.
The Chicago Cubs are in last place.
The swagger Piniella envisioned with a team that was overhaulied in the offseason — with $300 million committed to contracts present and future — has yet to surface.
"We broke spring training really thinking we have a championship ballclub," said Mark DeRosa, one of
the offseason acquisitions. "If you went around and still asked the same question, to a man we think we do."
But there have been baserunning mistakes, letdowns from the bullpen, an ace with just one victory, a star outfielder with no homers and one RBI, an offense that has been erratic, some bizarre plays and several devastating losses.
Hoping to get off to a quick start, especially with a favorable home schedule in April, the Cubs dropped to 3-8 at Wrigley Field after a 5-4, 12-inning loss to Milwaukee on Monday night in which they blew a four-run lead. They began Tuesday 7-12, last in the NL Central.
Piniella didn't even show up for his postgame news conference after the deflating loss, a rarity for a man who often is blunt, entertaining and humorous during exchanges with
reporters. And his hitting coach, Gerald Perry, could be heard having an angry exchange with the umpires in the tunnel leading to the duseout
— Piniella had a similar incident with umps last week.
The loss was the second straight in extra innings — the Cubs are now 0-3 in extra innings this season
— and dropped them to 0-5 in one-run games.
So far, a team that's gone almost a century since its last World Series title in 1908 is getting much the same results it experienced last season under Dusty Baker.
one his favorite introductions. "We've been in every game we've played. Our pitching for the most part has been pretty darn good. Defensively we've actually played really good baseball. We just need to start scoring some runs and that should come," he said. "So what's happened here in the past I really don't care about. What I care

All of this is part of Piniella's introduction to Cubs baseball. So far — as he acknowledged earlier — he can see so what's made winning so elusive for so many years. He's vowed to fix that. Whether he can is still to be determined.

Royals recall right-hander for game against Chicago
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals recalled right-hander Brian Bannister from Triple-A Omaha to start Tuesday night's game against the Chicago White Sox.
Bannister, facing the White Sox for the first time, will make his seventh major league start. He was 1-1 with a 2.61 ERA in four starts at Omaha.
His father, Floyd Bannister, was 16-14 for the Royals in 1988-89. The two are the third father-son combination in club history, behind Hal and Brian McRae and John and
Dusty Wathan.
To make room on the roster, the Royals optioned left-hander Neal Musser to Omaha. Musser made two short relief appearances since being called up Friday, with no record and a 0.00 ERA.

"If you would have told me I would have made one bogie, all those pars and two birdies, I would have taken that in a heartbeat," Koelbel said. "It felt awesome playing that good today. I'll take that every time."
Also braving the venue was senior Gary Woodland. His final-round 76 put him at a tie for 14th in the final standings and also notched him his second career top-20 finish at the Big 12 Championship.
While every golfer found the course challenging, coach Ross Randall noted that Woodland had a considerable disadvantage teeing off in Hutchinson.
"This isn't the course for Gary," Randall said. "He can't utilize his strength on this course the way he would like to."
Other notable Jayhawk finishes included senior Barrett Martens' 40th-place finish and junior Joey Mundy's 55th-place finish.
The Jayhawks will return to Rich Harvest Farms Golf Course for the NCAA Central Regions. The site was also a venue for the Jayhawks back in the fall when they competed and finished fifth in the Rich Harvest Farms Intercollegiate.
Kansan sportswriter Daniel Molina can be contacted at dmolina@ kansan.com.

Senior Gary Woodland chips on to the 13th green during the second round of the Big 12 Championship on Monday at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson. Woodland finished tied for 14th.

Kansas had not scored a run in 31 consecutive innings entering the Texas Tech series.
In the month of April, the Jayhawks are 4-8 averaging just under two runs per game offensively.
Senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys had a solid weekend against Texas Tech. In 12 innings of work against the Red Raiders, she held the team to just four hits and two runs.

Kansas snapped a five-game losing streak at Texas Tech this past weekend, sweeping the Red Raiders and possibly putting the offensive woes behind them.
With 10 games to play, she ranks fifth for runs scored with 30 and is in a tie for third with four home runs and her nine doubles and 12 stolen bases are tied for fifth in their respective categories all-time among Kansas sophomores.

DeBuhr (17-7) was named last week's Louisville Slugger/NFCA Coplayer of the Week. She is second in the Big 12 with 229 strikeouts, averaging 9.21 strikeouts per outing.
Kansas is 3-5 since the loss earlier this month and has won those three games on the road.

Most of all, it is nice to see the world's best basketball players actually play like they care. Now that the calendar reads April, it is finally worth the time to turn on the TV.
Ultra-talented and oft-injured Golden State point guard Baron Davis has already proven that as an eight seed the Warriors will give the league-best Dallas Mavericks all they can handle. Allen Iverson and Carmello Anthony combine to form a dangerous duo in Denver while Steve

OBITUARY Acclaimed journalist dies in car accident
SAN FRANCISCO — David Halberstam, the journalist whose acclaimed books included a towering study of the Vietnam War and a poignant portrait of aging baseball stars, died while heading to an interview for a new work.
Halberstam was riding in a car that was broadsided by another vehicle in Menlo Park, about 25 miles south of San Francisco, authorities said. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and the cause appeared to be internal injuries, according to San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucault.
"The world has lost one of our greatest journalists,"said Arthur Sulzberger Jr., publisher of The New York Times, where Halberstam won a Pulitzer Prize in 1964 for his Vietnam coverage.
The 73-year-old writer was killed in a car crash Monday while working on a book about the legendary 1958 NFL championship game between the Baltimore Colts and the New York Giants. He was on the way to interview Hall of Fame quarterback Y.A. Tittle while researching "the greatest game ever played."
Halberstam's 2003 book "The Teammates: A Portrait of a Friendship" told the story of Boston Red Sox great Ted Williams and his decades-long relationship with teammates Bobby Doerr, Johnny Pesky and Dom DiMaggio.

Marketing agent faces felony charges
BY DAVE SKRETTA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A marketing agent representing former Oklahoma Sooner running back Adrian Peterson is facing felony
charges of commercial bribery and theft
Bill Henkel, managing director of 10 Sports Marketing, turned himself in to the Johnson County, Kan., sheriff's office on Friday, deputy Tom Erickson said. Henkel post-
tor of International Management Group's football division, negotiated involving San Diego Chargers star LaDainian Tomlinson, the Johnson County prosecutor's office said.
In August 2005, Henkel allegedly solicited a kickback for a marketing deal involving the Pro Bowl run-
"To make it clear, there are no charges against LaDainian Tomlinson."

office.
A message left for Henkel by The Associated Press on Tuesday was not immediately returned. His attorney, Cheryl Pilate of Wyrsch, Hobbs and Mirakian in Kansas City, Mo., said the case will be "very vigorously defended."
"Mr. Henkel has said he'll allow the loyalty of the players he represents to speak for itself as the matter gets resolved," Pilate said.
A spokesman for IMG had no immediate comment.
Among the witnesses listed on the district attorney's complaint are Tomlinson, his business manager, Lamar Andrews, and his agent, Tom Condon.
Condon, who also represents Peyton and Eli Manning, worked for IMG until last year, when he left to join Creative Artists Agency. A message left for Condon by The Associated Press on Tuesday was not immediately returned.
Cleveland-based IMG filed a lawsuit against Henkel last year, accusing him of breaking the nonsolicitation part of his employment agreement by trying to steal clients when he founded 10 Sports Marketing in Overland Park, Kan.
Tomlinson supported IMG's claims in a signed affidavit, stating Henkel tried to persuade him to leave IMG for Henkel's firm.

Some of the letters contained various powdery substances, which the FBI laboratory determined was an insecticide. An FBI spokeswoman declined to identify the chemical. No injuries have been reported, authorities said.

Pitcher tests elbow, return date uncertain
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter played catch for the first time in two weeks on Monday, testing an elbow injury that has sidelined him since the season opener.
Carpenter, a 15-game winner last year and the NI. Cy Young winner in 2005, made about 45 throws from flat ground while gradually increasing the distance to 120 feet. If all goes well he'll play catch on Tuesday, more long toss on Thursday, and then throw off a mound on Saturday.
Team medical personnel are hopeful rest and therapy will allow Carpenter to get through the season without surgery. Pitching coach Dave Duncan said
Carpenter's workload on Saturday would approximate warmups for a starting assignment.
"Each day you find out how he's feeling, you progressively increase the effort level, and that will be a big date," Duncan said. "If he comes back from that without any problems, that's a good sign."
Carpenter, the lone holdover from the World Series championship team's rotation to start the year, has been on the 15-day disabled list since April 2 with impingement caused by bone spurs combined with mild arthritis.
Carpenter reported no problems Monday. Then again, he had no issues on opening day, when he gave up five runs in six innings in a loss to the Mets, until after he got home and noticed the elbow had puffed up.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Missouri offense sports new edge
BY DAN ANGELL
THE MANEATER
COLUMBIA, Mo. — With eight starters returning from last season on the offensive side of the ball, the focus of the annual football Black and Gold Game was completely different than a season ago.
But the scrimmage still held meaning for the offense, which wanted to prove itself worthy of the expectations for the upcoming season after finishing with the nation's No. 8 offense a season ago.
"When you come to a game like this, I think what you look at is the No. 1 defense and No. 1 offense and how they' did." Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "The No. 1 offense scored twice. I thought that was good."
Pinkel has said he would work the backup quarterback into the offense more than he did a season ago.
Incumbent starter junior Chase Daniel only appeared in 15 plays before freshman Dominic Grooms joined junior Chase Patton at quarterback of the Black squad.
Patton said he was excited about the opportunity to finally get some playing time after sitting behind a combination of Brad Smith, Brandon Coleman and Daniel for his first two years of eligibility.
"I've been trying to earn my shot for a while, and I feel like I've done a better job this spring. There's definitely stuff I need to build on, but I'm glad that I could get some confidence from the coaches that I could run this offense," he said.
Patton threw for two touchdowns on Saturday. After the game, Pinkel confirmed that Patton will enter the fall in the backup quarterback spot, but final decisions on every position would wait until a week before Missouri's season-opener.
No matter who the quarterback is, senior tight end Martin Rucker expects the return of the majority of last year's offense will help the Missouri offense get closer to their optimal position faster.
"It just kind of helps you out, knowing people's styles. Someone might come out there not really feeling it that day, but you know how to get them motivated," he said.
Senior wide receiver Will Franklin said a year of working together last season helped the offense improve this spring.
"The experience we have together is bringing us closer," he said. "That's the best thing that could have happened: Everyone came back. I can just tell there's going to be a lot of scoring."

who was serviceable in his first action since finishing his career 26-0 at Raymore-Peculiar High School (Mo.) in 2005, Coffman led the White team on two touchdown-scoring drives and completed 12 of 29 passes for 69 yards.
MANHATTAN — Since the first day of spring practice, K-State coach Ron Prince has been all about "The Power of One," the theme of this year's football team.
But the poor play of quarterback Josh Freeman, who wears jersey No. 1, is all the buzz after his Purple squad lost 19-0 to the White team Saturday in the annual Spring Game at Snyder Family Stadium.
KU
"You couldn't ask more from a quarterback," said White team linebacker Ian Campbell. "He got the 'W' for us."
Afterward, Coffman did not tip-toe around questions regarding his status on the depth chart, saying he planned on competing for the starting quarterback job.
Coffman also received glowing remarks from his teammates.
Whether his performance in a scrimmage — which did not much resemble a game-day atmosphere with a crowd of 16,732 — will hold any ground remains to be seen. At the very least, however, Coffman might have erased some doubts about his ability. Then again, Prince said he believed in Coffman all along.
K-State opens its season Sept. 1 at Auburn.
"If I did anything less, I would be cheating myself," he said.
Kentucky looks past bowl victory
NCAA FOOTBALL
BY TRAVIS WALDRON
KENTUCKY KERNEL
LEXINGTON, Ky. — As the sun beat down on Commonwealth Stadium for Saturday's Blue/White Spring Game, several Kentucky football players stood at midfield with their eyes glued to one of the stadium's big screens, which showed video of UK's Music City Bowl victory against Clemson.
Almost immediately after the video showed one of the most memorable plays of that game — punter Tim Mastthay's fake punt and pass to safety Marcus McClinton — the coaching staff emerged from the stadium tunnel onto the field.
At the first sound of a whistle, the players went back to the warm-ups and drills of spring practice, the monumental victory a good memory from the past but not the main focus of the day.
And that's exactly how head coach Rich Brooks wanted it.
"Now we have to move forward.
and we can't move forward while looking back," Brooks said. "The Music City Bowl becomes a thing of the past and now we have to think about ... opening up the coming season."
UK's Blue team (offense) earned the victory, defeating the White team (defense) 65-50 in front of 5,000 fans.
Because of injury problems, the scrimimage was formatted to pit the offense against the defense, leading to the inflated score.
Though the defense led for much of the scrimmage, quarterback Andre Woodson brought the Blue team back for the victory with a 14-
play, 68-yard drive that ended with Maurice Grinter's 1-yard touchdown run. The touchdown gave the Blue a 54-50 lead that it didn't relinquish.
Woodson finished the game 17-for-28 for 245 yards and two touchdowns, leading an offensive attack that racked up 530 yards on 20 possessions.
NOW DELIVERING
Even though the offense earned the victory, Brooks said he was pleased with both teams.

Rush still hush on future plans
Depending on who you listen to, Brandon Rush has declared for the NBA Draft, decided to stay in school or is still torn.
About the only thing he hasn't done is announce he's running for the presidency. Given this week's events, it would probably take more than that to shock lajawhah fan

Rush
This is what is known: Rush, a sophomore guard, has until midnight on Sunday to decide if he
wants to make himself eligible for this year's NBA Draft. If he does, he still has the option of backing out before June 18, provided he doesn't hire an agent.
Kansas coach Bill Self met with Rush on Wednesday afternoon to discuss the situation. Rush has been meeting regularly with Self throughout the process to seek the coach's advice. He's also talked to his brother Kareem, who played in the NBA for five years. But there's been no word as to when a decision will be made.
Rush has previously said that he would enter the draft if he would be taken among the top 20 picks. That goal looks increasingly unlikely as several underclassmen declare their
draft eligibility. Currently, NBA scouts are projecting that Rush will be taken in the late first round or early second round.
The difference between a first and second-round pick is huge. First-round players – the first 30 picks
The same can't be said of Rush. The waiting game will likely continue through May, which would make it difficult for Self to replace Rush if he left for the NBA. Most of the top recruits will have already committed to schools by then.

Transforming trinkets into art
Artist creates collectibles armed with trash, glue gun BY TYLER HARBERT
The neighbors are already asleep as Honey Boy bends over and unlatches the old wooden door to the cellar on the back of his house. He plods down the cement staircase and fumbles for the light switch in the cold, musty basement—his studio.
As the room becomes illuminated with light, Honey Boy pulls three clear plastic bags off a splintery wooden shelf, one filled with a colorful assortment of beads, another with various fake jewelry and the last one with aquarium rocks.
His gaze shifts to a metal lamp with a plain white shade as he sits on a stool in front of his workbench. He plants a cigarette between his lips and plucks a bead out of one of the bags. He will convert trashy trinkets and hot glue into art until he goes to bed.
His collectables, some of them politically incorrect, have been met with distaste or downright disgust. Walker said he understands why, but insists those objects have their place.
Walker has spent his life in trash dumps and salvage shops, collecting garbage and calling it art, which he sells along with strange collectables from booth number 150 in the basement of the Lawrence Antique Mall, 830 Massachusetts St.
Honey Boy (his artistic pseudonym) is Randy Walker, a Lawrence artist who takes nothing and turns it into something.

>> FINANCIAL AID
Students attempt policy reforms
BY TYLER HARBERT
Getting caught smoking a joint could cost a college student thousands of dollars in federal financial aid.
That's why Carrie Wallace, Lawrence senior, and Dana Maher, Omaha, Neb., senior, are trying to raise awareness about a provision in the Higher Education Act that denies federal aid to convicted drug offenders. Wallace and Maher are trying to form a student organization in connection with the national Students for Sensible Drug Policy organization.
"It's unfair that drug convictions are the only ones that lose aid," Wallace said.
PROFILE
First-time marijuana offenses are treated as misdemeanors in Lawrence, but in other states, drug possessions can be treated as convictions.
Students with drug convictions must disclose that on their FAFSA form, which could affect their eligibility for financial aid.
Wallace and Maher said although they were promoting looser marijuana policy, they're not potheads.

Professor proves teaching does more than pay bills
[Image of an elderly man with white hair and a grey beard, wearing a striped shirt and suspenders, sitting on a couch in a living room.]
Harry G. Shaffer, professor emeritus of economics, has been teaching at the University of Kansas for 51 years.
BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
"Good afternoon," Harry Shaffer customarily says to his class of about 450 students.
Sometimes, he'll repeat the phrase with his mild and scratchy Austrian voice to get the proper student response, but he said the first time usually worked.
A professor of economics, Harry began teaching at the University of Kansas in 1956. Fifty-one years later, he now teaches an introduction to economics course for non-majors. His wife of almost 20 years, Betty, said his course had inspired some students to replace
。
their majors with Harry's field of study. Coincidentally, an introduction to economics course originally inspired Harry to study the subject, write 11 books and teach in Lawrence for more than half a century, despite a persistent vocal chord condition that has left him voiceless at times.
"I don't plan to retire unless I absolutely need to," said Harry, who was born in 1919 in Vienna, Austria. He joked that his tentative retirement age would be 108 and said his students, five teaching assistants and

MELBOURNE, Fla. — A doctor dressed as Captain America was arrested after groping a woman at a bar and fighting with her boyfriend, authorities said.
Man dressed as super hero arrested after bar fight
Patrons at the bar were dressed in costumes as part of a bar crawl Saturday night, police spokeswoman Jill Frederiksen said.
A man carrying a burrito and dressed as Captain America approached her, began to say dirty things and touched her inappropriately, police said. He then brawled with her boyfriend, authorities said.
Several patrons who had dressed as the super hero were asked to step outside so the woman could identify the suspect, Frederiksen said.
After he was arrested, he tried to flush marijuana down a toilet at a police station, police said.
She picked out Raymond Adamcik, 54, police said.
Adamick was released on a $2,500 bond and faces charges of possession of marijuana, destruction of evidence, disorderly conduct and battery.
A secretary at Adamick's office said he was on leave and that the office was not accepting messages for him.
Long-time feud climaxes with coffee mug fight
KEY CENTER, Wash. — A local fire commissioner was jailed after a fight in which a fellow commissioner was attacked with a coffee mug, apparently the latest incident in a long-standing feud.
Vanity bashed Bosch repeatedly on the head with a coffee mug, Troyer said.
The commissioners, 71-year-old Allen Yanity and 64-year-old Jim Bosch, both of Lakebay, got into a heated exchange Tuesday during a break in a meeting as they were standing with their wives, sheriff's Detective Ed Trover said.
Yanity, elected to the Fire Protection District 16 panel last year, has accused Bosch of trying to force him off the commission by extortion. Bosch, first elected in 1998, has accused Yanity of harassing and intimidating him.
Bosch, 64, was taken to Tacoma General Hospital for stitches and other treatment.
Yanity was jailed for investigation of second-degree aggravated assault, a felony, Troyer said. He was released after posting ball and was to appear in court Wednesday afternoon
The Pierce County sheriff's department didn't immediately return phone calls Wednesday to The Associated Press.

Rich Breden, of Duluth, Minn., fishes at sunrise off a rock near the mouth of the French River, Minn., April 18. Breden and a couple of dozen other anglers lined the shore near the French River, prospecting Lake Superior's shallows for Kamloops rainbow trout. The fish are supposed to be here, staging offshore and making their spawning runs up North Shore streams. Steelhead, Lake Superior’s “wild” rainbow trout, should be making their spawning runs up streams, too. But action has been light for both steelhead and Kamloops rainbows.

Woman criticized after keeping livestock in van
“The van is kept clean,” Buhr said. “We’ve checked several times. There’s really nothing in ordinances or state statutes that says she can’t do that.”
Despite protests from some residents, city animal control officer Ray Buhr said Weidt isn't violating any laws or treating the animal cruelly.
SHERIDAN, Wyo. — Shirley Weidt says people should stop complaining about the goat in her minivan. After all, there's plenty of room in the ba-a-a-ack with the seats removed.
Weidt said it's "nobody's business" if she keeps her goat in a van. The goat is in the van so it won't escape, she said.
Beverly Saxton, who lives near property Weidt owns thinks keeping the goat in the minivan is cruel.
Buhr said he doesn't like the goat being in the van either, but he said the animal has food and water, and the back seats have been removed for more room.
"A farm animal should have the opportunity to graze and exercise," Saxton said. "When it's trapped in a van, it doesn't have those possibilities. That's not an environment for an animal. That's hideous."

AID (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"We're not pot smokers, but we have enjoyed it in the past." Wallace said. "It's not a habit and that's the nice thing about marijuana."
Stephanie Covington, associate director of the Office of Student Financial Aid, said although it hasn't been a huge issue on this campus, the University complies with the federal requirements.
"The FAFSA is what we have to take into consideration," Covington said.
Janet Roecker, associate director of the Office of Student Financial Aid, said if students indicate that they have a drug conviction on the FAFSA, they are required to fill out an additional worksheet that determines when their conviction occurred and if the student completed a drug rehabilitation program.
Students could then bring in the worksheet to the financial aid office to determine if they could be eligible for aid at some point during the semester, she said.
Covington said students who
apply for tuition grants or awards from the University must still fill out the FAFSA.
Diane Lindemann, director of student financial assistance for the Kansas Board of Regents Office, said the board also follows the same federal guidelines.
"It actually has never come up for us," said Lindelman, who has worked for the board for seven years.
Both Wallace and Maher said they knew people who had been kicked out of residence and scholarship halls at the University for marijuana use.
Wallace said while the department of student housing has a clear-cut policy on alcohol, its policy on drug use doesn't specify what happens to students if they violate it.
The handbook on the department of student housing's Web site states, "Manufacturing, possessing, selling, transmitting, using or being party to any illegal drug activity, controlled substance, or drug paraphernalia is a violation of university and housing policy as well as a violation of the law"
Maher said harsh drug laws had affected him as a child because his stepfather, who owned a successful catering business, was convicted of possessing a small amount of marijuana and was imprisoned.
"It caused my mom a huge burden and it was totally unfair," Maher said. "It also hurt the local economy, because his business was gone."
Wallace said in order to get the drug provision in the Higher Education Act changed, students should call their U.S. Senators and tell them they want the provision removed.
Wallace said it had been tough so far to gauge student interest.
"People think it's awesome and it's great but they don't want their name involved," she said. "It's really important to speak out on policy."

Iran schedules new talks about uranium program
ANKARA, Turkey — Senior Iranian and Western envoys on Wednesday scheduled a new round of talks in two weeks after speaking of progress in trying to break the deadlock over Tehran's refusal to meet U.N. Security Council demands that it freeze its uranium enrichment program.
European Union senior foreign policy chief Javier Solana and senior Iranian nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani spoke after their second meeting of the day — unscheduled dinner talks that documented potential headway in the dispute even before the announcement of a new round in coming weeks.
"We will have some talks tomorow and in two weeks," Larijani told reporters at the end of the two rounds of discussions that ran nearly six hours. He described them as "pleasant talks."
Solana spoke of a "very constructive dinner,"adding the talks "will continue tomorrow and in the coming weeks also."

SHAFFER (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
wife kept him young. Betty drops him off on campus and picks him up after he teaches his class.
The couple met in 1984 in New York City's Penn Station during a March blizzard. Betty was a school social worker from Newport Beach, Cal., going to visit her son at Harvard University when Harry was on his way to Harvard to give a lecture.
Harry said he pursued her relentlessly, sending her roses with homemade cards and calling her daily.
"It's the Austrian romantic part of Harry," Betty said.
The "Austrian romantic" left his native country at age 18 in 1938.
"When Hitler came, it wasn't big enough for him and me," Harry said. "He didn't want to leave, so I left."
After leaving Austria, Harry lived in Cuba for two years while his
United States immigration visa was pending. He then served with U.S. Army intelligence during World War II as a German translator.
After the war, the G.I. Bill of Rights paid for four years of school at New York University. In four years, he received both his bachelor's and masters degrees in economics and completed a course toward his doctorate.
"I want to make my living talking," Harry recalled thinking when he was young.
After Harry taught economics at Concord College in Athens, W. Va., for a year and a half, he taught at the University of Alabama for six years.
In 1956, Authorine Lucy was the first black woman to be admitted to the university. Harry said three thousand students protested against her.
The University of Alabama
expelled Lucy on charges of defamation after she claimed the university did not provide her with adequate protection, Harry said he and 28 other professors felt they couldn't be honorably associated with the University of Alabama and decided to leave the school.
"And that's how KU got lucky enough to get me," Harry said.
When he came to Lawrence from Alabama, Harry said the University had less than 10,000 students. There was no required permit for parking on campus and one-way streets. There was no need to lock his house on Alabama Street at the time, he said. He only locked his car when tests were inside.
Laura Dague, Washington senior and head teaching assistant for Harry's introduction to economics course, said Shaffer's jovial rapport
with students helped them understand economics on an individual level.
As a testament to his popularity, a Harry Shaffer fan club on Facebook has more than 700 members.
"it's nice to have a broader perspective than just a theory," she said.
Harry said the point of his economics classes was to portray the social issues of economics, using examples to illustrate and generate interest about the national debt or inflation.
"Wherever I go, I have people coming to me saying 'Professor Shaffer, I took your course.' Some come to me and say 'Professor Shaffer, my father took your course,' " he said. "Only once did I have somebody say 'Professor Shaffer, my grandfather took your course.'"
Harry has also advocated social issues in Lawrence. He led a desegregation advocacy group when he
moved to the town in 1956, and later marched in protest of the Vietnam War.
Today, he said he is adamant about equality of all people. He has protested the Iraq war at 11th and Massachusetts streets and continues to write letters to the editor for such papers as the Lawrence Journal-World.
"These aren't all economic issues," he said. "For me, they're moral issues."
Even though he has raised his activist voice, Harry's speaking volume is often inhibited by non-malignant papillomas on his vocal chords that return no matter how often they are removed. He said his first operation was in 1947. He expects his 25th operation will be this summer.
"They cut them off, burn them off, freeze them off, they always come back," Harry said. "It's very unfortunate for a teacher, but it's a
fact of life."
Despite temporarily losing his voice after operations, Harry continues to teach economics and tries to keep it somewhat simple, giving real examples for theories introduced within the course.
He said one of the biggest highlights of his career was receiving the 2003 Career Achievement Teaching Award. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences threw him a party to celebrate the award, with many of his fellow teachers and students in attendance.
"If we all loved doing what we do as much as Harry does, it would be a great world," Betty said.

Right: Booth 150 is stationed at the bottom of the stairs in the Lawrence Antique Mall downtown. Walker has his own art work ranging from a chest of drawers with random items hot glued to it along with other unique things he has collected over the years.
FOLK ART (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"Some peoples' definition of art is if you can sell it," he said. "As long as it suits some expression that you have or some feeling and you get something out of it, that's all that matters isn't it?"
Booth number 150 is a mixture of the bizarre featuring retro clothing, artwork from the paint-by-numbers school, an array of pink porcelain statuettes of naked women and antique pictures of corpses in coffins.
In the middle of the booth stands a waist-high dresser with three drawers that Honey Boy crafted. Images from both teen idol and professional wrestling magazines coat every inch of the wooden surface of the dresser.
Glued on top of the pictures is a random assortment of beads, shells, fake flowers, toys, body parts from broken Barbie dolls, a toy frog and countless other trinkets. A note attached to the dresser said it took 400 hours to complete and has an asking price of $400.

He's currently the house chef for
the sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, 1301 West Campus Rd. When he's not cooking, he frequents auctions, resurrecting what he called, "odds and ends of peoples' existences." His home at 1012 New York is a kind of museum that pays homage to such existences.
He lived in Europe briefly as a child, where he said his parents made him aware of the architecture and art there before the family moved to Overland Park when he was 13. His father was a Lutheran minister and his mother sold insurance, but she also collected dishes and bells.
Walker worked in thrift stores
Walker started his own collections of unwanted treasures in high school after sifting through flea markets and visiting his grandparents in Iowa, who would take him to their local garbage dump.
when he could and restaurants when he had to pay the bills.
Walker's collections began with bread-bag mats he started hoarding because the mats, made of tightly woven bread bags, resembled similar crafts his grandmother had created, and because of their durability. "I've had them for 20 years; you can't kill them," he said.
He has collections of dolls made from bottle caps, metallic flowers made from antique antifreeze cans, and a piece of elephant dung one Kansas City artist molded and painted in the likeness of Adolf Hitler, titling the piece, "Adolf Shitzler."
"That's definitely something out of nothing." Walker said.
He has cow hairballs, ashtrays and lamps made out of hooves and animal legs, and the hind sections
of dogs mounted on plaques that have antlers attached to their fur and pseudo mouths strategically positioned over their anuses. He said the latter, bought in Montana, repulsed him and he bought them to show people how stupid they were.

He said he started collecting pictures of dead people because there was a market for them. The antique pictures originated when cameras were new and travel was difficult. When people would die, and relatives couldn't travel to their funerals in time, they took pictures of the deceased to show the family. Walker explained.
In one room of Walker's houss more than 200 sock monkeys are thrown on two of two couches. Walker started collecting the sock monkeys about ten years age and has opened somewhat at a museum in his hour.

Going to estate sales disturbed him when he could tell someone was disposing of a dead relative's precious belongings. "I know what happens when you die, meaning mostly what happens is if the kids don't want your stuff, it goes out to nowhere," said Walker, who finds those possessions sacred.
He has a dozen different labels for the things he collects. Some are folk art, some found art, some kitsch and others functional art like the bread-bag mats. Some are just arts and crafts. Walker said some are good and some bad, but that it's all subjective.
Larry Billings, who has owned the Lawrence Antique Mall for 15 years, said Walker's collections are sometimes met with surprise.
"I very seldom get any comments on him, but there have been a few," he said.
On a couch in a room lit with only a single light bulb are more than 200 monkeys—musty smelling old socks that were stitched together by rural mothers and grandmothers, and painted with stupid smiles to match big buttoned eyes.
The bread and butter of Walker's diverse collections are his sock monkeys. Walker has transformed his home into a sock monkey museum, and guests often drop by to view his collection.
Seeing the orgy of cloth and beast on Walker's couch was enough for Lawrence author Pam Grout to include Walker in her book, "Kansas Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities and Other Offbeat Stuff", which features more than 200 different Kansas artists.
"He collects quirky people and of course, so do 1." Grout said. "I felt like he was a kindred spirit."
Despite his unique passions, Walker gets along well with members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, where he cooks, according to house president David Albers, Dallas junior. He said Walker is "one of those guys who you can talk to about anything."
He said sometimes Walker will spend time with the house residents on the weekends and he even traveled with them recently to The Woodlands, a dog racing track in Kansas City, to teach them betting basics.
"Nobody's creeped out by him," Albers said about.
Walker's collections started out as a hobby, until he realized he could buy old items cheap and sell them at much
higher prices. That's Walker, the businessman. Honey Boy is the artist.

He has sold about 150 pieces of his own folk art signed by Honey Boy and other pseudonyms over two decades
He has crafted picture frames and jewelry boxes decorated with random trash, many lamps including one covered with Rice Krispies Cereal stickers, and a suitcase caked with bar codes.
He fashions his art using a glue gun and random objects he pulls out of dumpsters or buys at auctions.
Walker said he started putting pictures of Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and professional wrestlers in his trashy picture frames to add more luncy to the work.
He sold one once for $25, later saw the same piece priced higher at an antique store in St. Joseph, Mo., and then later on a trip to Omaha saw the same picture being sold by an antique dealer for $125.
"Everybody made money on the deal except the last guy," Walker smiled. "He's probably still got it."
Walker admits he stole some ideas for his work from the Dickeyville Grotto in Dickeyville, Wis., which sits on the Holy Ghost Parish grounds. The grotto is a sprawling religious shrine completed by Father Mathias Wernerus in 1930, according to its Web site.
"I know way back, people would see how it was put together and do the same thing in their backyards," Steffen said. "If it promotes folk art in other places, that's fine."
Rev. Francis J. Steffen, pastor of the church, said in a phone interview that he didn't see any problem with Walker or anyone touring the grounds and stealing ideas from the shrine for their own work. The stone is covered with anything imaginable, from broken glass to trinkets.
Most of his antique freak cards are autographed by the performers themselves, including his favorite of Robert Wadlow, who at 8 feet, 11 inches was touted as the tallest man who ever lived.
"I understand the degrading factors and all that but they made money from it," he said.
While Honey Boy progresses with his art, Walker is pursuing his latest fetish for freak memorabilia, such as trading cards similar to baseball cards that were once sold by side-show performers for extra money.
"There are a lot of people chasing after his ass," Walker said about the card.

Randy Walker, who collects odds and ends of people's existence, is one of them, while his alter-ego Honey Boy continues to toil away late into the night creating new treasures from old trash.

Man suspected of mailing pipe bombs
HARRISBURG
Jeremv Portie/ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY MIKE ROBINSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
Federal agents investigate a storage unit at the Penn Place apartments in Dubuque, Iowa, on Wednesday. The units are believed to have been used by Iowa machinist John P. Tomkins, 42, who is believed to be an alleged mail bomber. Tomkins is suspected of sending dud pipe bombs and threatening letters to companies in Denver and Kansas City and signing the messages "The Bishop."
CHICAGO — A former parttime Iowa letter carrier was arrested and charged Wednesday with mailing pipe bombs and threatening letters to investment firms and others to terrify them into forcing up stock prices.
John P. Tomkins, 42, of Dubuque, Iowa, a family man with a job as a machinist, was accused of being the source of letters signed "The Bishop" that threatened to kill those who received them, their families and neighbors unless shares in Navarre Corp. and 3COM Corp. moved higher.
He is charged with one count of mailing a threatening communication with intent to extort and one count of possession of an unregistered explosive device. Officials said the pipe bombs would have exploded had just one wire been connected. His federal defender, Rose Lindsay, declined to comment.
"Just think, it could be as simple as mailing a package, just like the Unibomber used to do it," said one of 16 letters that were mailed out to executives of investment firms and other companies.
The Bishop remarked on how easy it was for Washington sniper Boyd Malvo to attack his victims ad for the kidnapping of children as will, adding: "When you stop and think about how easy (it is) to kill somebody it is almost scary."
tomkins, a husky man with a mo of dark hair and a mustache, appared briefly Wednesday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Sidney I Schenker. When asked if he understood his right to remain silent and I be represented by an attorney, he sai "yes" to both.
Scenkier ordered Tomkins held in custody pending a hearing Monday afternoon on whether he should be released on bond. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark E. Schneider said the government wants him locked up pending trial as a risk of flight and dangt to the community.
"Tat's a very serious matter to frighten people and try to affect the stockmarket," U.S. Attorney Patrick
J. Fitzgerald told a news conference in Chicago.
Tomkins was arrested on his way to a Dubuque manufacturing plant Wednesday morning and federal agents began to search his home and
a storage facility that he used. Officials say he left the Postal Service as a one-day-a-week, fill in letter carrier last year.
Authorities said they searched for months for the identity of The Bishop. They said the turning point
"That's a very serious matter to frighten people and try to affect the stock market."
The other was addressed to a person at American Century in Kansas City. Each package contained a letter that said: "BANG!! YOU'RE

came when Securities and Exchange Commission experts pointed Tomkins because of his ownership of a combination of stocks and options in two small companies.
The pipe bombs were mailed in January from a post office in Rolling Meadows in Chicago's northwest suburbs. One went to a person at the investment firm of Janus Small Cap
DEAD."
"There is enough gun-powder and steel shot in that tube to kill anyone in a 10-foot radius when it goes off," the letters said.
that could be used in the pipe bomb with his own credit card, officials said.
And when one executive received a threatening letter with a photo of his home taken from a car, agents were able to identify the make and model of the car — a 1993 Chevrolet Lumina four-door.
of the auto's interior showing in the photo matched Tomkins' car.
Tomkins owns the same make and model and experts said the sliver
ATM records put Tomkins near the place where threatening letters were sent, officials said. They said bank records place Tomkins at a Kissimmee, Fla., location when threatening letters may have been mailed from there.
Officials cited records showing Tomkins acquired shares of 3COM Corp. shortly before the first threatening letters were mailed.
A letter sent in May 2005 said shares in the Marlborough, Mass-based company would have to rise by $6.66 by the end of October.
Exactly why the letters were signed "The Bishop" was not clear, authorities said. One theory was that Tomkins was inspired by a Charles Bronson movie, "The Mechanic," in which Bronson played an Arthur Bishop.
One prominent line was, "Bang, you're dead." But federal officials indicated they had no evidence to suggest that the movie inspired Tomkins.
VIRGINIA TECH SHOOTINGS
Lack of evidence puzzles investigators on campus
BY KRISTEN GELINEAU ASSOCIATED PRESS
BLACKSBURG, Va. — The massacre inside a chained-shut Norris Hall went on for nine minutes as Seung-Hui Cho fired off 170 rounds, killing 30 people before shooting himself in the head, police revealed Wednesday. But they said investigators still don't know why Cho launched the bloody attack on his fellow students at Virginia Tech.
"We talk about possible motives and theories and whatnot, but we don't have any evidence to suggest anything," said State Police Superintendent Col. W. Steven Flaherty.
He said investigators had searched computer files, cell phone
records and e-mails, and had compiled 500 pieces of evidence from Norris Hall alone.
Yet so far, nothing indicated a motive or close link between the 23-year-old loner and his
was the first victim.
It is not known how Cho got in.
Witnesses place Cho outside West Ambler Johnston shortly before 7:15 a.m., when he fired the two shots that killed Hilscher and 22-year-old senior Ryan Clark, a resident assistant at the dorm, Flaherty said.
Police searched Hilscher's e-mails and phone records looking for a link. While Flaherty would not discuss exactly what police found, he said neither Cho's nor Hilscher's records have revealed a connection.
"We talk about possible motives and theories and whatnot, but we don't have any evidence to suggest anything."
In addition to the 170 rounds Cho fired inside Norris, investigators found unused ammunition in the building, though Flaherty was unsure how much was left.
COL. W. STEVEN FLAHERTY State Police Superintendent
victims, Flaherty said.
Two hours before Cho chained shut three public entrances to Norris Hall and started his rampage there, he gunned down his first two victims in a dormitory across campus. In between, a package was mailed to NBC containing Cho's videotaped tirade and written manifesto about rich "brats" and their "hedonistic needs."
Flahery, who is overseeing the investigative team looking at the shootings, said police have been unable to answer one of the case's most vexing questions: Why the spree began at the West Ambler Johnston dormitory, and why 18-year-old freshman Emily Hilscher
Flaherty cautioned that it could be months before the case is closed. The investigation will begin slowing down as authorities examine evidence, he said.
Flaherty
said they found no link between Cho and Clark, who was also killed at the dorm where he was a resident assistant. Nor do investigators know why Cho, an English major, selected Norris Hall — a building that is home primarily to engineering offices.
Frustrating their effort is the fact that Cho revealed himself to so few people. Even family members have said they rarely heard him speak.
"I guess the thing that is most startling to me, I say startling, surprising, is a young man who's 23 years old, that's been here for a while, that seemed to not know anybody," Flaherty said.

Storms claim 11 victims
Tornadoes kills 10 in Texas; lightning kills one in Louisiana
BY MICHELLE ROBERTS ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAGLE PASS, Texas — Dozens of search and rescue crews scoured the mangled remains of houses and trailer homes Wednesday for more victims of tornadoes that killed at least 10 people in this border community and its Mexican neighbor. An 11th victim died in Louisiana.
Twisters cut across a nearly 4-square-mile area in a rural community southeast of Eagle Pass on Tuesday night, destroying two empty elementary schools, a church, business and homes. Several mobile homes were still missing Wednesday as searchers with dogs went lot to lot.
A family of five — a girl, her parents and two other relatives was killed when the winds blew their mobile home across the street and slammed it into Rosita Valley Elementary School.
"It was a whole family, and they were all together, probably like they were wuddling," said police officer Ezekiel Navjas, who arrived Tuesday night just as crews were pulling from the wreckage the body of the girl, believed to be about 5 years old.
"I've never seen nothing like this," he said, shaking his head as he walked down a dirt road lined with homes cut in half like doll houses and mesquite treetops torn from their trunks.
Across the Rio Grande in Piedras Negras, three people were killed and 300 homes were damaged. About 1,000 people sought refuge in shelters in Piedras Negras, where 32 people were killed by a tornado three years ago.
One of the dead was found in a house, and the other died after being taken to a San Antonio hospital, authorities said. More than 80 others were injured, and at least four remained in critical condition Wednesday.
Neither Eagle Pass nor Piedras Negras had a siren warning system like those used to help people evacuate ahead of the same storm when it flooded streets and peeled roofs off homes in North Texas. No injuries were reported there.
Lightning was blamed for an 11th death Wednesday as the huge weather system plowed through the Mississippi and Ohio valleys. The bolt started a fire near Shreveport, La., that killed a 101-year-old man,
authorities and the man's family said.
The sprawling front also spun of tornadoes Tuesday in Oklahoma and Colorado, caused flooding in Iowa and Nebraska and piled snow more than a foot deep in the Rockies.
About 350 residents from Eale Pass were in shelters and were begged from their homes until rescels could complete their search of the area. Search teams made up of peace, firefighters, Border Patrol agent and National Guard soldiers were piking their way through homes, knocking on doors, calling out to residents and marking searched buildings with spray paint.
Eagle Pass resident Becardo Tijerina, who rode out the wisters with his six children in a hove near the school, said he saw the reather roll in and expected a typical spring storm.
"I saw some clouds, but never imagined it was going to *so* that bad," said Tijerina, whose children, ages 5 to 15, crowded under their beds while he watched a neighbor's trailer roll off its foundation.
The tornado hit near Eagl Pass around 7 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.
BUSINESS
Delta Air to exit bankruptcy Company expected to be worth $9.4 billion to $12 billion
BY VINNEE TONG ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A federal bank-ruptcys judge approved on Wednesday a Delta Air Lines plan to exit bank-ruptcys after the nation's third-largest airline spent nearly 20 months in a wrenching reorganization that cut 6,000 jobs and slashed $3 billion in costs.
More than 95 percent of creditors voted to endorse the plan for Delta to leave bankruptcy as a stand alone carrier. That plan had been put in jeopardy by a $9.8 billion hostile takeover bid launched last fall by Tempe, Ariz.-based US Airways Group Inc. Delta successfully persuaded creditors to back its blueprint to emerge from bankruptcy
Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines Inc. expects to emerge from court protection Monday. It estimates it will be worth $9.4 billion to $12 billion, after Delta reduced labor costs, restructured its fleet and terminated a pilots pension plan.
and reject the buyout offer.
Now that it is leaving court protection, Delta may sell off its regional carrier subsidiary, Erlanger, Ky-based Comair, which has received poor marks for lost baggage and flight delays.
Delta's board will also choose a successor to Chief Executive Gerald Grinstein, who plans to retire. Grinstein, who is 74, has said the two leading internal candidates are Chief Financial Officer Ed Bastian and Chief Operating Officer James Whitehurst.
Delta will celebrate its emergence Monday in Atlanta. Shares in the reorganized Delta, with the ticker symbol DAL, are scheduled to begin trading again next Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange.
Delta's reorganization plan will give unsecured creditors between 62 percent and 78 percent of the value of their allowed claims as shares of new Delta stock.
The company's existing stock, which will be worthless, continued
to trade until the court's approval of the plan.
Since then, passengers on all airlines have experienced growing flight delays as staffs are rimmed and fares go up, driven by rising fuel costs. While in bankruptcy, Delta had expanded its international flights and will continue growing that part of the business, focusing on John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.
Since January 2001, the company has lost a total of more than $18 billion. In recent months, hough, Delta's financial situation has improved, with the company projecting a 2007 pretax profit of $816 million, excluding special charges and reorganization costs.
Delta entered Chapter 11b in Sept. 14,2005, amid high fuel pices and the burdens of soaring loor and retirement benefits expense.
Next week, 39,000 Delta employees are expected to receivecash and new stock in Delta wortha total of $480 million.

Investigation questioned by faculty
BY PAULA PANT COLORADO DAILY
BOULDER, Colo. — Nine professors, seven from the University of Colorado, allege the university's investigation of professor Ward Churchill was "shoddy" and are asking CU to retract its findings.
Last year a faculty investigation found Churchill plagiarized and misrepresented some academic work.
But this week an ad hoc group of professors sent CU an open letter stating "we have found the [investigative] report to contain violations
of standard scholarly practice that are so serious we are considering filling charges of research misconduct against the authors of the report."
But some faculty say Churchill didn't "misrepresent" history; he provided an alternate point of view.
Churchill was charged with plagiarism and scholarly misrepresentation of historic events.
The investigative report was based on flawed sources, didn't include

Tobacco farmers giving up tradition Growing 'golden leaf' not paying off
BY MARGARET LILLARD ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
RALEIGH, N.C. — The Troxler family grew tobacco for generations in North Carolina. A few years ago, with federal price supports about to vanish and time to tend the labor-intensive crop becoming scarce, Steve Troxler decided to stop.
That decision by Troxler, made just after his election as North Carolina's agriculture commissioner, encapsulates the eroding power of the signature crop of a state where the names of cities, universities and even sports teams reflect the legacy
of the "golden leaf."
Decreased domestic demand, fewer farmers, an influx of newcomers and continuing alarms over the dangers of smoking have even opened the door for lawmakers to consider what once seemed unthinkable here;
a broad ban on indoor smoking across North Carolina.
"it's done so much good over the years, it's hard for tobacco farmers
co industry. It's completely for our industry and what we think is fair.
"I think it's very historic, when you consider that we were the tobacco state and still remain THE tobacco state in the nation." Troxler said. "I think about all the things the crop of tobacco has done — it's built the schools, the universities, the list goes on and on. And now we're to the point we want to ban smoking."
"I think it's very historic, when you consider that we were the tobacco state and still remain THE tobacco state in the nation."
Though employment has dropped over the past decade, nearly 1,800 people still worked in tobacco farming and more than 11,500 had tobacco manufacturing jobs in 2005, according to data compiled by Duke University.
STEVE TROXLER North Carolina agriculture commissioner
North Carolina is the nation's top tobacco state, producing 43.1 percent of the domestic crop in 2005
— the first year without the price stabilizing quota system created by the federal government in the 1930s. Two of the three largest U.S. cigarette makers are still based in the state.
"It's still a legal commodity. It's still something this state's history and economy were built on," said Keith Parrish, executive director of the National Tobacco Growers Association.
Still, the same argument against banning public smoking heard around the country is being used here. Opponents don't talk about tobacco's legacy or the money and jobs it brings to the state, but instead cite their belief that business owners should be able to control the activity allowed on their property.
like myself to see this discrimination, given all the tax dollars we've contributed to the state's coffers," he said.
And decreasing demand means tobacco's contribution to North Carolina's economy has been gradually dropping for
"We believe it should be a matter of choice between the consumer and the operator," said Paul Stone, head of the North Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association, one of the ban's chief opponents. "Our position has nothing to do with the tobac-
more than a quarter-century, said Michael Walden, an economist at N.C. State University.
"The incidence of smoking in the United States — if you look at smokers as a percentage of the population — has been going down since the '60s" he said. "As tobacco has waned in its influence, those who are nonsmokers have been able to make their voices heard more."
The most dramatic change for the industry was the quota buyout approved in 2004, in which the federal government paid farmers for their "quota" — the amount of tobacco they were allowed to grow under the Depression-era price support program — and left the crop's fate to the free market. Rather than make changes needed to compete in a free market, many farmers simply stopped planting tobacco. Acres harvested dropped from 156,000 in 2004 to 126,000 in 2005. While the acreage has rebounded — up to 159,000 harvested in 2006 and about the same projected this year, that land is held by fewer farmers, Troxler said.
At the Statehouse, only four lawmakers include "farmer" among their occupations. Parrish believes that has contributed to moves against tobacco.

Rosie O'Donnell is photographed through a closed window as she is driven from the ABC television studios after the taping of "The View," on Wednesday in New York. O'Donnell announced at the show's start that she would be leaving, saying in a statement, "my needs for the future just didn't dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me. This has been an amazing experience," she said, and "one I wouldn't have traded for the world."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Her tenure short but hardly sweet, Rosie O'Donnell said Wednesday she will leave "The View" in June after less than a year of feuds, headlines and higher ratings for ABC.
O'Donnell says goodbye to 'The View'
Walters was frequently left to clean up the damage after O'Donnell.
"We have had, to say the least, an interesting year," Walters said. But she said O'Donnell's exit is "not my doing or my choice."
- Saying she was "very fond" of Murdoch, Walters pointed out that "Rosie's view is not always mine."
DAYTIME TELEVISION
The opinionated host said she and ABC couldn't agree on a new contract — she wanted one more year. ABC wanted to lock her up for three. So she decided to leave, although she will appear occasionally next season for things like a planned one-hour special on autism.
In the Trump imbroglio, O'Donnell was reportedly mad that Walters did not come more swiftly to her defense, while Trump said Walters told him she didn't want O'Donnell on the show — a claim Walters denied.
Trump quickly went on Fox
O'Donnell made more than $3 million for her season on "The View." ABC was willing to spend more to keep her, but wanted a three-year deal so it didn't have to worry about O'Donnell as a potential competitor.
O'Donnell has helped increase the chat show's audience by about a half-million a day. But her outspokenness has caused continual controversy, including a nasty name-calling feud with Donald Trump that placed "The View" creator Barbara Walters squarely in the middle.
"It it didn't work," she said on the show Wednesday, "and that's show biz. But it's not sad because I loved it here and I love you guys and I'm not going away."

"Barbara's the happiest person in the world that Rosie's been fired." "Trump said."
Bill Carroll, an expert in the syndication market for Katz Television, said he's inclined to believe the explanation that it was a contract dispute that ended O'Donnell's stay. If ABC was fearful of what she would say, O'Donnell wouldn't be kept on the air until June, he said.
O'Donnell was good business for ABC, owned by the Walt Disney Co. Through mid-April, "The View" has averaged 3.5 million viewers since O'Donnell joined, up 17
Her departure is a real challenge for "The View." O'Donnell was clearly the show's centerpiece, and she had replaced Meredith Vieira, who was effectively the moderator.
"It just didn't work and that's show biz. But it's not sad because I loved it here and I love you guys and I'm not going away."
ABC needs someone well-known to step in, Carroll said. "It would be difficult, in my judgment, to try to replace Rosie," he said. "The best course of action would be to find someone who would be similar to what Meredith was."

Dow Jones industrial average hits historic levels
STOCK MARKET
Investors continue to worry about economy
BY MADLEN READ AND TIM PARADIS ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — It looks like a cause for celebration: The Dow Jones industrial average surged from 12,000 to 13,000 in just six months. But appearances can be deceiving, and there may be more reason to worry rather than rejoice about Wall Street's latest accomplishment.
Stronger-than-expected profits from several large companies helped push the stock market to historic heights. But many big corporations, including the Dow components, made a chunk of that money overseas, where economies are growing faster than in the U.S. And many of the same worries that weighed on investors earlier in the year remain: rising energy costs, a slumping housing market and a possible credit crunch.

Still, the stock market's best-known indicator surged past its latest milestone shortly after trading
The broader market shared in the rally. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 15.01, or 1.01 percent, to 1,495.42, after reaching 1,496.59, a six-and-a-half-year high. The technology-dominated Nasdaq composite index advanced 23.35, or 0.92 percent, to 2,547.89, after hitting a six-year high of 2,551.39.
And the Russell 2000 index, which reflects the performance of smaller companies, also had a record close, rising 5.71, or 0.69 percent, to 832.07.

It took the Dow just 129 trading days, since Oct. 18, to make the trek from 12,000 to 13,000, far less than the 7 1/2 years the blue chips took to go from 11,000 to 12,000. But the swiftness of this latest trip does recall the days of the dot-com boom when the major indexes were soaring and it took the Dow a mere 24 days to

The Dow Jones industrial average shot past 13,000 for the first time, powered by better-than-expected corporate earnings that boosted investors' confidence in the U.S. economy.
About two-thirds of U.S. companies so far have reported earnings that were in line with or higher than analyst expectations, said Jim Herrick, director of equity trading at Baird & Co.

"We've had pocket's of companies report better earnings, and in light of the Fed not appearing to 'raise rates anytime soon, that bodies well for the market," said Herrick. "Going forward, the market's going to be data-driven. The market's going to focus on economic data to get a hint about what the Fed will do in the latter half of the year."
Wednesday's advance gained even more momentum from the Federal

Democrats approve subpoenas
BY LAURIE KELLMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Putting their congressional control to work, Democrats approved new subpoenas Wednesday for probes ranging from the prosecutor firings and White House political activities to President Bush's justification for the war in Iraq.
Democrats said the broad array of investigations represents a revival of Congress' role after six years of little oversight of the Bush administration by Republican lawmakers. The White House is pushing back, refusing to allow officials to testify under oath about the firings and arguing that top officials already have answered questions about the administration's now-discredited claim that Iraq was seeking uranium for a bomb.
"I am beginning to wonder whether the White House has any interest in the American people learning the truth about these matters," said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick
Leahy (D-Vt.).
Congress' effort isn't driven solely by Democrats. Republicans have barely restrained their disdain for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' accounting of the firings, including his claims of a faulty memory.
Sen. Arlen Specter co-signed a letter with Leahy Wednesday urging Gonzales to freshen his memory and provide answers within a week.
Lawmakers say they want *to force into the open the story of why the eight U.S. attorneys were fired.

WASHINGTON - Democrats brushed off a White House veto threat and pleas for patience from the top U.S. commander in Iraq Wednesday and pushed toward a vote demanding that troops begin coming home this fall.
Bill could bring troops home Bush threatens veto, pleads for patience from Capitol Hill
Their insistence guaranteed a historic showdown with President Bush, the first on the war since Democrats took control of Congress in January.
BY ANNE FLAHERTY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"We need to claim victory for our soldiers," said Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Texas). "They have done their job. It's time to bring them home now."
Late Wednesday, the House was expected to pass a $124.2 billion war-funding bill that would require troop withdrawals to begin Oct. 1 with the goal of completing the pullout six months later. Bush has promised to veto the bill and has enough Republican votes to sustain his objection.
Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.), said ending the war would be handing a victory to terrorists. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), called on Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)0, to resign for saying the war was lost.
Emotions ran high.
Bush dispatched his Iraq general, David Petraeus, and other top officials to Capitol Hill to make his case: Additional forces recently sent

to Iraq are yielding mixed results and the strategy needs more time to work.
Under the bill, troops could remain in Iraq after the 2008 date but only for limited non-combat missions, including counterterrorism operations and training Iraqi forces.
The bill, already negotiated with Senate leaders, is expected to reach the president's desk by early next week following a final Senate vote Thursday.
would have to take fighting directions from legislators 6,000 miles away on Capitol Hill," Bush said this week. "The result would be a marked advantage for our enemies and a greater danger for our troops."
"We need to claim victory for our soldiers. They have done their job. It's time to bring them home."
Whether Democratic leaders had enough votes to pass the bill in the House has been in question. The
SHEILA JACKSON-LEE Representative (D-Texas)
Democrats view the November elections that allowed them to take control of the House and the Senate as a referendum on Bush's conduct of the war.
"For the first time, the president will have to be accountable for this war in Iraq." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, said Tuesday. "And he does not want to face that reality."
Bush, however, says he stands firm on his latest strategy for winning the war and dismisses as counterproductive the Democratic call for withdrawal.
"That means our commanders in the middle of a combat zone
original House bill included a binding timeline, demanding that combat end by September 2008. Several of the 218 members who approved that bill said they agreed though they wanted troops home sooner.
Republicans on Wednesday focused on Reid's comment that the war was lost. Reid said last week that he believed strides in Iraq could be made only on the political and diplomatic fronts.
"It is fairly irresponsible rhetoric at a time of war to make such a sweeping declaration," said Rep. Adam Putnam (R-Fla.). "It certainly doesn't do anything to help the morale of our troops in harm's way."
House Majority Whip Roy Blunt told reporters he was not concerned about GOP defections despite the unpopularity of the war. But Blunt, (R-Mo.), said progress must be made soon or that could change.

'Soul mates' no longer
Former Spice Girl says Eddie Murphy left relationship, kid
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Melanie Brown says Eddie Murphy left her with a baby, a tattoo of his name and no explanation for their sudden split.
Brown, 31, known as Scary Spice when she performed with the '90s hit pop group, gave birth to Angel Iris Murphy Brown on April 3 in Santa Monica. She listed Murphy's name on the birth certificate. Murphy, 46, has said he's not sure he's the father.
The former Spice Girl, in an interview with OK! magazine, said she and Murphy were "soul mates" who got tattoos to proclaim their love and were mutually delighted with her pregnancy — until Murphy said on TV they were through and asked for a paternity test.
"A friend of mine called me to tell me. I was shocked, then I felt disgusted. We were madly in love with each other, and then this happens," Brown told the magazine.

Web-savvy guitarist adds online TV show to Internet repertoire
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Dave Navarro has signed with Denver-based ManiaTV to do a show on the Internet.
The weekly hour-long "Spread Entertainment" will debut May 17 from the Dragonfly nightclub in Hollywood, Calif.
"It's like a looser version of 'Donahue' in a nightclub," where the studio audience can get up for a drink or smoke during his show, Navarro said Tuesday. "I wanted to create a party atmosphere."
Navarro already has an FM radio show plus an Internet radio show broadcast from his home through a Web site with his blog and podcasts.
The 39-year-old former Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction guitarist said he was attracted to a show on the Internet, where there's no censorship and more freedom.
"It's time for people to take back what it is they want to see," he said.
"I want to use the Internet to support artists and see things that are out there that other corporate structures aren't allowing us to see. It seems with satellite TV, the Internet, magazines — there's almost so many options, and we're only seeing the same five things."

Rachael Ray joins fight against childhood obesity

School of Public Health professor who found that former "Today" show host Katie Couric's televised colonoscopy increased appointments for the procedure 20 percent.
There is, however, a difference between making an appointment for a procedure and making lasting lifestyle changes. And though Fendrink thinks it certainly will help, he says it has yet to be seen whether the
celebrity factor can overcome that sort of inertia.
Ray says her plan was inspired by the efforts of other food celebrities, including Jamie Oliver (who led a televised crusade to revamp England's school lunches) and Alice Waters (whose Edible Schoolyard program in Berkeley, Calif., helps schools serve healthy food).
And she is borrowing from Paul Newman's philanthropic model, which donates the profits of his food products to charity. Ray is developing various products, including children's cookware and books, the profits from which will go to The Yum-o! Organization.
Much of The Yum-ofOrganization's work will be pursued via existing programs. She plans to encourage children to join Nickelodeon's Go Healthy Challenge and will funnel money to hunger relief programs throughout the country.
She also wants to use her contacts in the food industry to pressure food service companies to offer schools healthier options. And schools that make changes will receive financial incentives, such as money for scholarships.

Hindu activist files complaint, says Hurley mocked customs

The wedding of actress Elizabeth Hurley has drawn the ie of a Hindu religious activist who said Hurley's wedding mocked Hindu customs.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - Elizabeth Hurley is putting on a happy face amid the drama surrounding her wedding in India to businessman Arun Nayar.
The British actress-model and Nayar, 42, were married last month in a lavish and traditional Hindu ceremony in Jodhpur. The event drew the ire of a Hindu religious activist, who filed a complaint saying it had mocked Hindu customs.
Meanwhile, tabloids in England and India carried reports that Nayar's father, Vinod Nayar, severed ties with his son after he was thrown out of the wedding on Hurley's urging.
When asked how this has affected the couple, Hurley told AP Television News that it has made her "incredibly grateful for the nice people" in her life.
"We're so lucky for the good things that we kind of turn a blind eye to the bad things," said Hurley, who called her family "fantastic."
The 41-year-old actress, who attended an event for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in New York on Tuesday night, said she hasn't "settled down into real life yet."
Hurley and Nayar first wed in a private civil ceremony in a castle outside London.
"The whole wedding took forever. The wedding itself took eight days; planning it took considerably longer; recovering from it; I'm still not sure I have," she said.
The complaint about their Hindu wedding says Hurley wore revealing clothes and didn't remove her footwear while walking around the sacred fire at the ceremony.
The petition was filed under a section of the Indian Penal Code that makes it an offense to upset any religious feelings with "deliberate and malicious
intention."
India's legal system is notoriously slow, and it could take months or years before complaints come up for hearing.
Hurley has a 4-year-old son, Damian.

》 OUR VIEW
Address issues and find help to improve mental health on campus
The tragic school shooting at Virginia Tech united students in sadness and disbelief. At the same time, and somewhat paradoxically, it spurred a series of school bomb scares and students' copy-cat threats nation-wide. It was as if certain kids, in lieu of uniting in sorrow, were thinking, "I guess this is what it takes to get attention."
When the killer's name was released, the descriptions of his personality were eerily familiar: much like Harris and Klebold before him, the kid was clearly
disturbed, troubled and "not right." On multiple occasions, teachers had contacted authorities to report concern about the intelligent yet quiet boy who was obsessed with violence.
Their active attempts to guide attention to the boy floundered, and perhaps no one who saw the signs of distress could have done anything more to alert authorities. Yet in the wake of yet another school shooting tragedy, and in response to the hollow threats that echoed across the country for days afterwards, we
must begin to ask ourselves what we can do differently.
Inevitably, we will question America's obsession with violence and individualistic culture. At the end of the day, however, little is known about the exact incidents that spur school shootings.
Our only prototype for the persons who do the deed is a distressed male.
With so many questions unanswered, we must begin to take the warning signs more seriously. Cries of desperation
such as recent copy-cat threats may very well be signals that a person is an active volcano nearing eruption.
Students, teachers, parents and neighbors should work together to listen more attentively to the dissatisfied voices around and within us. A bout of depression rarely leads to an act as grievous as last week's school shooting, but addressing psychological health is nonetheless important, if only because our state of being affects our daily actions and interactions as
well as others' emotional well-being. At a basic level, we can all do our part to address mental health issues by watching out for one another. In doing so, we should make it a daily practice to listen to others' concerns and to offer our emotional support in others' times of need. We should be aware of counseling services, such as CAPS at the University of Kansas, which can be contacting at 864-2277 and HQ Counseling Center downtown, which offers help around the clock and can be reached at 841-
2345. Lastly, we should recognize our own moments of desperation in which we must swallow our pride and request help.
These acts of consideration are menial but important. By being attentive and compassionate we produce healthier, happier relationships with ourselves and with others. We may even prevent a walking time bomb from exploding.

COMMENTARY
Fliers cause far more harm than good
Fliers are as much a part of campus life as cramming for tests and 3 a.m. fire alarms. When they're pinned up on bulletin boards or featured on Web sites, they don't

really cause a problem. It is only when they are passed out to students on campus that there are problems.
Some students just ignore the filers and walk past the advertisers, creating awkward situations for both parties. Some take them only to throw them away shortly thereafter. Campus is littered daily with discarded filcers and inserts and someone has to pick them all up.
Doug Riat, director of The University of Kansas Facilities Operations , said that fliers were a hassle for his crews to pick up every day. Advertising inserts in the Kansan are to blame as well. His employees have a daily routine of picking up fliers and Kansan inserts, which he said were mainly dropped by students on accident, flying out of the paper when it's picked up.
If you want people to actually read your ads and not just litter, then post a few on bulletin boards next to the other things that students are selling. When students want a cheap car or stereo or want to know about
upcoming events, they look at the bulletin boards. If you really want to advertise something, put it in the classifieds.
Even consider Facebook fliers, eBay, Cars.com.
Filers are useless. Handing someone a piece of paper on campus has the same effect as tossing a bunch on the ground. Sure, people have a constitutional right to free speech. People also have a right — and a duty — to help keep our environment clean.
Craig's List, and the myriad advertising Web sites out there. The people who visit these Web sites are looking for something specific, so they really care about what you're selling.
The sheer amount of traffic generated by those websites is amazing. According to statbrain.com, Facebook gets around 4.5 million hits per day, Cars.com gets 1.5 million, Craig's List gets 5.6 million, and eBay gets a jaw-dropping 8.6 million.
The litter and annoyance created by fliers isn't worth the possible effect of changing someone's thinking. Especially when there are such great online opportunities.
But inevitably, fliers will continue to litter our campus. When someone hands you a flier, don't just throw it on the ground. Consider reading the flier and then throw it away in a nearby trash can or recycling bin.
Don't use the excuse that you couldn't find one. Trash cans on this campus are as innumerable as filled parking spaces. You'll save the maintenance crews a lot of work by just recycling the fliers, or better yet, by not handing any out at all. Go for eBay.

>> LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Law can't help Guantanamo prisoners but writing letters can
I was fortunate enough to spend a portion of my career at a law firm that represents several detainees at Guantanamo. A former co-worker, once walked in on the suicide attempt of our client, Jumah Al-Dossari, who was hanging by his neck and bleeding from a gash in his arm. Jumah survived and has since tried to kill himself three times.
Jumah has been at Guantanamo for more than five years. He hasn't been charged with a crime. He has been short-shackled, threatened with death, beaten and held in indefinite isolation. There is noth-
inging the current law can do to help him.
Last year, Congress passed the Military Commissions Act, which mandated that the courts dismiss all habeas cases in favor of an alternative process. Lawyers for the detainees challenged the Act as unconstitutional, but in February, a federal appeals court ruled against them on the grounds that they have no rights.
The Supreme Court recently refused to hear Guantanamo appeals until these ineffective alternative procedures are exhausted. This means detainees will have no
chance to produce evidence of their innocence that the military didn't consider, or to challenge the use of evidence obtained through torture.
Action against Guantánamo won't free terrorists or endanger our country. The objective is to make sure that these men are given fair hearings and if, there is no evidence of wrongdoing, to send them home.
As a member of the U.S. House Committee on Armed Services, Representative Nancy Boyda (D-Kan.) could play a key role in a much-needed resolution. Contact her office and ask that she persevere
for an amendment to the Military Commissions Act that once again allows detainees fair hearings. Contact as many congressional offices as possible. Without your voices, nothing will change.
These are United States actions for which we all must take responsibility. It sickens me to think that Guantanamo is reflecting our country, but I am strengthened by the fact that it does not reflect our Constitution, or our people.

Bin Laden may be to blame
CAIRO, Egypt — A top Taliban commander said al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden was behind the February attack outside a U.S. military base in Afghanistan during a visit by Vice President Dick Cheney, according to an interview shown Wednesday by Arab broadcaster Al-Jazeera.
Bin Laden planned and supervised the attack that killed 23 people outside the Bagram base while Cheney was there, said Mullah Daddullah, the Taliban's main military commander in southern Afghanistan who has had close associations with al-Qaida.
"He planned that operation and guided us through it. The operation was a success," Dadullah said of bin Laden.
A U.S. counterterrorism official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the information's sensitivity, said al-Qaida would likely have used more than a single explosion outside the base's main gate if it were targeting Cheney.
TERRORIST ATTACK
He did not say how he knew bin Laden planned the attack, and it was not clear when the interview took place.
In addition, the official said, it takes bin Laden significant time to communicate from where he is hiding. That wouldn't offer him the flexibility to order an attack on Cheney, whose stop at Bagram was kept secret in advance of his arrival, the official said.
The Feb. 27 bombing killed 20 Afghan civilians, a U.S. soldier, a U.S. contract worker and a South Korean soldier outside Bagram while Chenee was meeting with officials inside the base. The Taliban claimed the attack was aimed at Cheney, but officials said it posed no real threat to him.
The U.S. military had said previously it was unclear whether the Taliban knew about Cheney's visit or whether the timing of the attack was a coincidence.
The attacker did not try to penetrate even the first of several U.S.-manned security checkpoints at Bagram, instead detonating himself among a group of Afghan workers outside the base.
Dadullah insisted bin Laden was alive and well. "Thank God he is alive. We get updated information about him. Thank God he planned operations in both Iraq and Afghanistan," he told Al-Jazeera in excerpts that were translated into Arabic.

2008 PRESIDENTIAL RACE
McCain defends candidacy
Senator attempts campaign revival tries second time for White House
BY LIZ SIDOTI ASSOCIATED PRESS
Presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), addresses a McCain 2008 campaign rally in Manchester, N.H., on Wednesday evening. McCain officially announced his candidacy for president during a campaign rally in Portsmouth on Wednesday afternoon.
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — It wasn't supposed to be this way.
John McCain was the presumptive Republican front-runner, the next in line for the nomination in a party that historically respects hierarchy.
Now, he's trying to revive his troubled campaign. He is making the case for his candidacy by stressing his decades of experience in wartime and Washington and claiming he has the will to make tough, and sometimes unpopular, choices to heal the nation's woes.
A loser in 2000 to George W. Bush, McCain chose to officially enter the presidential race in New Hampshire — the state's primary was the political high point of his last bid. He selected Prescott Park, which sits across the Piscataqua River from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
"I am qualified. I am ready to serve. I need no on-the-job training. And I have the vision and capability," the four-term Arizona senator, ex-Navy pilot and former Vietnam prisoner of war, said Wednesday after formally declaring his second attempt to win the White House.
As McCain talked of the country's challenges at home and abroad, the shipyard served as a backdrop and a reminder of his military past.
"I know how to fight and how to make peace. I know who I am and what I want to do," he said in his speech. "I'm not running for president to be somebody, but to do something; to do the hard but necessary things not the easy and needless things."
Simply a formality, the event did, however, give McCain an opportunity to lay his vision for the
country's future and jump start his campaign after months of struggle. He had spent years building an unrivaled national organization and positioning himself as the inevitable GOP nominee — only to see his campaign falter.
"It's John's last chance to make a first impression again," said Ken Duberstein, a White House chief of staff under President Reagan. "He has to wipe the slate clean from the last several months. That's easier said than done, but I think he has the chance to do it."
McCain's popularity has fallen in national polls; he trails former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. He
struggled to raise money, coming in a disappointing third in fundraising and cash-on-hand among Republicans in the first test. Rival Mitt Romney, in single digits in most polls, finished first. McCain revamped his finance operation and trimmed staff as a result.
He's been dogged by a few verbal gaffes, an ever-present danger of his straight-talking persona. He's perhaps forever linked to the Iraq war as the top pitchman for Bush's troop increase. The decline in his popularity has mirrored the waning public support for the four-year-old conflict.

>> WAITING TO GRADUATE
Rush can't be blamed for draft temptations
---
BY JONATHAN KEALING
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
JKEALING@KANSAN.COM
At least once a day for the past week - and usually more frequently - I've discussed with someone the merits of Brandon Rush declaring for the NBA.
For some reason, probably the two years I spent covering Jayhawk sports for The Kansan, I've taken a rather dispassionate, analytical view of the declarations for the draft.
Once it started with sophomore Julian Wright, I knew it was only a matter of time till the departure started to add up. If not this year, then next.
In terms of Rush, it only makes sense for him to enter his name into the NBA draft. It would have even made sense for him to do that last year.
What wouldn't make sense is for him to hire an agent. Barring a miraculous performance in the pre-draft camps, Rush isn't going to go in the lottery.
Without being a lottery pick, Rush isn't guaranteed the major payday he can rightly hope to make. If he's staring at a late first round or an early second round selection, it makes sense for him to come back to school.
If he comes back to school, he should focus on improving his scoring. Not to the detriment of the team, mind you, but to the point where the team can depend on him as their go-to guy.
None of this is rocket science. And, really, I only say this because so many fans seem convinced that for Rush to even dabble in the draft is a major mistake.
It's just not. You have to respect a guy who has the basketball talent and skills that Rush possesses. If you could leave school now and make millions, you would. Even more likely, if you could take a month off of school and examine the odds of you making millions with almost no penalty, to say you wouldn't be certainly to be disgenuous.
Don't hold basketball players to a standard you can't observe yourself.
The men's basketball team was called to the Athletics Department offices Wednesday for some type of meeting. While I still don't know what was said in that meeting, the most valid assumption is that Rush told his teammates just what his plan for next year will be. For my money, Rush let his teammates know that he's about to test the NBA waters.
The dream circulating after the Elite Eight loss of returning the entire Kansas team was nice, but it was just that. A dream. Kansas recruits players that are good enough to play in the NBA after a year, maybe two. Players will come and go, and it doesn't mean you should scorn or ridicule them on message boards.
It's just the territory with a team that is expected to compete for a

Coach signs extension Reports say Henrickson receives five-year deal, raise
BY ASHER FUSCO
Henrickson has held the head coaching position at Kansas for three seasons. She previously coached at Virginia Tech where she made seven postseason appearances. On the surface, Henrickson's 40-49 record at Kansas does not look very impressive. However, she inherited a program that was wallowing in mediocrity under her predecessor, Marian Washington.
Several media outlets have reported that Kansas women's basketball head coach Bonnie Henrickson has agreed to terms on a contract extension.
In the three seasons prior to Henrickson's arrival, Kansas won a total of five conference games. In the past three seasons under
According to reports, an announcement should come in the following days.
The deal is reportedly for five years and will result in a pay raise for Henrickson, who is already one of the highest-paid coaches in the Big 12 conference.

Last season the team posted only four conference victories, the worst showing of Henrickson's career at Kansas. But the graduation of All-Big 12 honorable mention guard Erica Hallman and All-Big 12 First Team center Crystal Kemp were partly to

Boston Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka made his Major League debut in Kansas City, Mo., against the Kansas City Royals on April 5.

Five years ago, Hayakawa didn't speak a word of English. There were no helpers, no Japanese-speaking media, almost no Japanese people period in Lawrence upon his arrival.

Postseason offers new chances
BY RUSTIN DODD
The words "postseason play" bring to mind an array of images.
But for a Kansas tennis team that suffered through a 4-16 regular season, and is currently riding an eight game losing streak, the Big 12 Championships will offer something more — a chance at redemption.
Postseason play means a fresh start, a rise in intensity, and a "winor-go-home" atmosphere.
Kansas' shot at redemption comes in the form of an opening
round match with Oklahoma, the same Oklahoma team that delivered Kansas a gut-punching defeat eight days ago.
The 11th-seeded Jayhawks will take on the sixth-seeded Sooners at 1:30 p.m. today at the Plaza Tennis Center in Kansas City, Mo.
"The girls are just pumped. They want them back again," coach Amy Hall-Holt said, "They want that match, I think we'll definitely step it up a notch."
The team has good reason to be motivated. Riding a six match losing streak, the lajhawks traveled
down to Norman, Okla. on April 18. Kansas jumped out to a 1-0 lead by winning two out of the three doubles matches and securing the doubles point. Kansas then looked in control of the match after straight set singles victories from junior Elizaveta Avdeva and sophomore Yuliana Svistun at No. 1 and No. 5 singles respectively.
But Oklahoma rallied to win the final four singles matches—three in epic three-setters—and squeaked out a 4-3 victory.

blame for the poor record.
The young Jayhawks struggled at the beginning of the conference season but improved enough to upset Oklahoma State in the first round of the Big 12 Conference tournament. The victory in the conference tournament was Kansas' first since 2003.
Other highlights of Henrickson's tenure at Kansas include a Jan. 3, 2006 victory over then-23rd ranked Texas and a victory over Northern Iowa in the first round of the WNIT later in the same season.
Henrickson's crowning achievement during her tenure has been her strong track record in recruiting. Forward Taylor McIntosh and guard Shaquina Mosley, both members of Henrickson's first recruiting class, floured toward the end of the 2006-07 season.
Left with little returning talent heading into 2006-07, Henrickson was able to secure a seven-player recruiting class that enjoyed a promising first season. Guards Kelly Kohn and Sade Morris joined forward Danielle McCray as immediate contributors to the team.

national title year in and year out. It's either build a team of NBA talent, and make a run into the postseason virtually ever year, or settle for waiting for the right group of seniors to find success.
Kansas fans don't have the stomach for the inconsistency of the latter option.
While Rush has until Sunday to officially declare his intentions, you can bet that everyone will know his plans before the week is out. If he does end up staying in the draft, or for some inexplicable reason decides to sign with an agent, it's hard to blame him for wanting to start
making money.

NORMAN, Okla. — OU men's basketball player Bobby Maze will not return to the team next season,
the university announced Tuesday.
Maze, a point guard who would have been a sophomore next season, averaged 5.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 18.6 minutes per game during his freshman campaign in 2006-07. Maze came to an agreement with OU head coach Jeff Capel
"Bobby and I met last week and we came to an agreement that he and our program will part ways," Capel said in a statement. "This decision is best for Bobby and for our team. I appreciate Bobby's efforts this past season and certainly wish him well in the future."
basketball, said Capel declined further comment.
"As they said in the quote, they just came to an agreement so we'll have to leave it at that." Houdt said.
Maze's departure leaves junior Austin Johnson, sophomore Tony Crocker and senior David Godbold as the only returning guards for the team.
The team has two incoming guards in Tony Nesmith from Norcross, Ga., and Cade Davis from Elk City, Okla.

NFL player helps out Hokies

While the tragedy is still raw in the minds of those associated with the university, Hamilton believes the first football game next year will have a positive impact on the Tech community.
"For everyone to come together and to unite once again for a positive cause, obviously the victims will be remembered, and it will be a sad time," Hamilton said. "I'm sure there will be a dedication at the beginning of the game, but then fans will be able to cheer, root for guys, scream, yell, and smile. There's just healing through coming together for sporting events."
"To be able to play a game right there in Lane Stadium, and to see the football team united and obviously playing for a greater cause than just winning a game," he said. "I'm sure those 32 victims were fans, and to honor them, play for them and remember and recognize them, I think it will be powerful."
MIRACLES - do they exist?
Do they exist? Last week, at a meeting where miracle believing people were gathered, a KU student named Komica shouted out that she could see. Prior to that night she could only see from one eye at a time because while one eye would see forward the other one would look to the side. A few minutes after receiving prayer, the bad eye snapped into the correct position.

TENNIS (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"It was definitely a heartbreaker," said junior Lauren Hornell.
It's rare that a team with a 4-16 record, playing at the 11th seed has such a favorable match up. However, that is exactly what the fayhawks have.
The improved play hasn't translated to wins, but the team's weakness — its doubles play — has steadily improved over the last three weeks.
Oklahoma finished at sixth in the Big 12 with a 5-6 conference record, but struggled overall 8-12. Kansas, on the other hand, has been playing better lately.

"Number two doubles the last three or four matches have just come up a different level." Hall-Holt said. "I'm really proud of how they've come together."
The No. 2 doubles duo of Hornell and freshman Kunigunda Dorn has won three out of their last four matches, including a victory over the nation's 39th ranked doubles team from Texas A&M.
The Kansas tennis team will travel to Kansas City, Mo., for the Big 12 Tournament today. The 11-seeded Jayhawks are looking to redeem themselves from a 4-16 season by defeating the six-seeded Sooners.
Add in the consistent play from Avdeeva and Horvath at No.1 doubles and the team-leading 13 wins from Swistun at No.5 singles and the Jayhawks have the necessary ingredients to score an upset at the Big 12 championships.
Hall-Holt also said that the team benefits from playing so close to home in Kansas City, Mo.
If Kansas wins, it will play No. 3 seed Texas A&M at 6 p.m on Friday.
"Being down in our territory in Kansas City, and having our fans around, I think it's going to be big boost," she said.

Big 12 South favored to dominate championship
BY RUSTIN DODD
Kansas plays host to the 2007 Big 12 Tennis Championships at the Plaza Tennis Center in Kansas City, Mo. Starting today, 12 women's tennis teams hit the court in a single elimination team tournament to decide the Big 12 women's tennis champ. Here is a closer look at two teams that could win, and one team that most definitely will not.
THE FAVORITE — BAYLOR BEARS, OVERALL — 19-6, BIG 12 — 10-1
Tennis — like golf and baseball — is a warm weather sport. The schools in the Big 12 South have a distinct advantage when it comes to crucial things like recruiting and suitable weather for practice time. It's no coincidence that Baylor, Texas and Texas A&M finished one, two and three, respectively, during the regular season. The Baylor Bears are simply a cut above the rest of the conference. The defending
champs finished the regular season ranked 15th in the country, and boast convincing 6-1 victories over Texas and Texas A&M. The Bears have won 11 team matches in a row and have a former NCAA Singles Champion, 19th ranked Zuzana Zemenova, playing at the No. 1 singles spot. Baylor also features Zuzana Cerna and Lenka Broosova, ranked 51st and 62nd in the country in singles, respectively. You've probably never heard any of these names before, but if we were talking basketball, Zemenova, Cerna and Broosova would be Wright, Rush, and Chalmers. The Point? Baylor is scary good.
The Buffs don't quite garner the attention that the Baylor, Texas, and Texas A&M trio does. Of course, they did finish ninth in the conference last year, and Boulder, Colo. isn't exactly a tennis mecca; so maybe the disrespect is justified. With that being said, this is
THE SLEEPER — COLORADO
BUFFAOLES, OVERALL — 16-6,
BIG 12 — 9-2
a new year, and Colorado has shown that they are a new team. The Buffs are riding a six-match winning streak, and have climbed to 35th in the national rankings. More importantly, Colorado is the only Big 12 team to knock off Baylor — an impressive 5-2 victory on March 4. So, with all the praise being lavished on the teams from Texas, don't be shocked if Colorado takes the title back to the Rockies.
The Iowa State tennis program is historically and monumentally awful. In the last 10 years, the program is 4-109 in the Big 12. Let's repeat that. Four and one hundred and nine. Now, we are not here to judge the Iowa State women's tennis program, but, if Iowa State were to win the Big 12 Championship, it would be the most shocking upset since, well—ever.

KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
MDENT@KANSAN.COM
How about going to see "Disturbia"? Yes, Shia LeBeouf is the best young actor in America, but you can see that anywhere, anytime.
The quality of tennis matches the atmosphere. Baylor is especially a treat to watch.
Ah, I got it. Watch world-class tennis. Through Sunday, the Big 12 Tennis Championships are at the Plaza Tennis Center in Kansas City, Mo.
You can't get this kind of entertainment anywhere near Lawrence for the rest of the year. The professionals play in Cincinnati and Indianapolis later this summer, but that's a long drive. The Kansas City Explorers also play World Team Tennis, but it's not as interesting as the Big 12 Championships.
Just look at what they have to offer.
First off, the venue. The Plaza Tennis Center is almost too beautiful to be in Kansas City. Try sitting high above center court and peering at the Italian style buildings and fountains of the Plaza. You'd be lying if you said you didn't feel like you were in Florence.
basketball and football teams fit better in Letterman jokes, not a major conference. But tennis is a different story. The Bears own the Big 12.
This year Baylor won its sixth men's conference title in a row. Not an easy task considering how strong the Big 12 is. All six of the other teams that have men's tennis — Texas, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Texas A&M and Nebraska — are ranked in the Fila Collegiate top 75. Being ranked in that poll is equal to being in the AP or USA Today basketball and football polls.
Yep, that Baylor. The Bears' men's
The Baylor women won a share of the title. The Bears are ranked 15th in the nation and join Texas A&M, Texas and Oklahoma State in the Fila Collegiate Poll.
Baylor might be the toast of the tournament in terms of team strength, but the most exciting player belongs to Oklahoma State. Oleksandr Nedovyesov could be a professional one day. The freshman has been moving up the rankings every week since January to his current spot at 25.
Nedoviesos, who is from Ukraine, plays like the person who's impossible to buy gifts for; He returns everything. Once he gets his first serve down he'll be one of
the best players in the country. What about Kansas?
What about Kansas?
The Jayhawks have had a long season. Really long. In January, they were ranked 59th in the country. Now they are 4-16 and 11th in the Big 12.
A lot of the reason for the subpar season has to do with Ksenia Bukina. Bukina was All Big 12 last year and Kansas' first or second-best player. She got injured in her first two matches and hasn't stepped on a tennis court since.
The loss of Bukina meant the Jayhawks only had six players. It's tough to do well in team tennis when you only have six players. You see, college games consist of six singles matches and three doubles matches. That means each KU player gets tired playing a doubles match before her singles match. And if one gets injured? She has to forfeit or play through it.
That doesn't mean Kansas has no chance of advancing against Oklahoma today. The Jayhawks beat the Sooners in doubles and No. 1 singles a week ago. They had the match in the bag. Then Oklahoma came back to break the Kansas players' hearts with a 4-3 victory. Now each player wants revenge.
I'm not going to guarantee a Kansas win in the first round. But I will guarantee this: You won't regret it if you go watch tennis at the Plaza this weekend.

Spring practices reveal talent
DAILY COLLEGIAN
BY COREY MCLAUGHLIN
DAILY COLEGIAN
UNIVERSITY PARK. PA
- Heading into spring practices, Penn State coach Joe Paterno knew he had enough talented linebackers on the roster.
But he wasn't so sure where that talent would be best used, or what position (inside or outside) suited each player.
"One of the concerns that Joe had was let's move the linebackers, get them out there playing and whoever the best three guys are, we could adjust," Penn State defensive coordinator Tom Bradley said after Saturday's Blue-White game. "We've got some good linebackers. We have to work them in different places."
Dan Connor has moved from outside linebacker to inside to replace likely first-round NFL draft pick Paul Posusny, the most recent player to uphold Penn State's tradition as "linebacker U."
Sean Lee, who finished third in tackles last season, figures to have solidified his starting job as a strong side outside linebacker heading into his junior season.
Connor was second on the team in tackles behind Posluszny last season, and has expressed the desire to be both the leader and player that the All-American Posluszny proved to be in his final season.
But the weak side job appears to be still undecided as of now. That's the position where talent is still being moved around.
Redshirt freshman Navorro Bowman started alongside Connor and Lee for the Blue team on Saturday, but Bradley said after the game that both the 6-foot-1, 288 pound Bowman and rising junior Tyrell Sales have practiced at what the Penn State coaching staff calls the "Fritz" position.
"We've been moving them around to see what they can do at different spots." Bradley said. "From there, at least we'll have good
evaluation when the time comes."
Lee said Bowman has "that special trait," needed to play 'backer' and has impressed him all spring and continued to Saturday.
"It's been a battle all spring," Lee said. "We have a bunch of guys that have done really well, but he's definitely made himself better and he's a guy that we need to get on the field."
Sales, though, didn't hurt his case for an increased role with a game-high 11 stops for the White team.
Nor did rising sophomore Jerome Hayes, who added 10 tackles and appeared to be calling the defensive signals for the White team while playing inside.
And there's also redshirt freshman Bani Gbadyu, who teammates say is the fastest linebacker of the group.
After the game, the 6-foot, 217- pound Gbadyu said he was second on the depth chart behind Bowman at the weak side position.

Bruins' secondary shows depth in final week
BY BOBBY GORDON
DAILY BRUIN
LOS ANGELES — When freshman Alterraun Verner came into the game against Utah last season and ran an interception back for a touchdown, it signaled that the UCLA secondary had a lot more depth. In the final week of spring practice, that has only become more clear.
Redshirt junior cornerback Michael Norris is returning from injury to back up redshirt senior Trey Brown, adding even more
depth to the unit.
"He's looking pretty good," defensive coordinator DeWayne Walker said of Norris. "We were thin last year at that position, (and) in the Pac-10 you need as many corners as you can get. So we're real happy that he's back, and so far so good."
The cornerbacks are led by a battle-tested pair of returning starters, with Brown holding down the left side and senior Rodney Van starting on the right. The Kansas native led the team in interceptions with four, a count good enough for seventh in the Pac-10.
Verner will be backing up Van and should get a lot of reps because of his strong 2006 campaign. The freshman garnered a lot of attention for returning both of his interceptions on the season for touchdowns and earned Freshman All-American honors.
On the other side, the familiar face of Norris gives the coaching staff even more viable options.
Norris missed the 2006 campaign because of a knee injury, but did not lose the year of eligibility. A season before going down with the injury in the preseason.

for what college life in America was like. This helped when Yo dropped the idea of wanting to take off for the U.S.
Thus, the two embarked on making plans.
"In my high school, it's pretty much focused on playing baseball," Hayakawa said. "We just practiced, practiced, practiced. I never really had a chance to study at all. Like I usually would go to class and fall asleep. I still

tion where he could succeed in both baseball and academics. America,he knew, was full of such places.
Toward the end of that high school road. Yo realized that academics were part of the schooling process for a reason. These reasons, however, were much more difficult to find in an environment that had him and his teammates in practice every day from 3 to nearly 7 p.m. on top of scheduled individual workouts.
Rather than fall into a similar pattern in college, Yo began to narrow his focus toward an institu-

mation on the Internet about the University of Kansas and its association with the baseball-heavy Big 12 Conference, things started to click.
"Me and my dad were like 'All right, let's go!" Hayakawa said.
"I didn't know what the campus looked like. I didn't know what the baseball field looked like. I didn't know anybody but I was all 'All right, let do it.'"
Adding to the stress of moving half way around the world, Kansas baseball was in complete remodeling mode five years ago. Coach Ritch Price and assistant Graves had just arrived to build the scene that Havakawa was trying to break into.
When he showed up to request a tryout, he approached Steve Abney, the pitching coach at the time whom Yo had mistaken for the head coach. The only instruction Abney could
give was to show up for walk on tryouts later in the fall.
"The best thing about him is I don't think there is any quit in him," Graves said. "I know he'd probably wanted more innings over the span of his career, and he's worked hard at gaining those innings and he's worked everyday at getting better. The best thing about it is he's probably a month and a half away from being done and he's working as hard now as when he started."
If he hadn't made the team, he still would have contemplated staying at Kansas. But, he was a hit.
After being picked up as a walkon his freshman year, Hayakawa has had his work cut out for him as he transformed from a starter in high school to a reliever in college. Because of NCAA international eligibility rules, he spent two semesters at Kansas as a red shirt before making an impact out of the bullpen in the 2004 season. During which time, he learned how to "Americanize" as he put it. Although he would still opt for fish once in a while over the team's typical steak dinner after games and is still amazed at how big all of the players are in the States.
Although he refused to admit to the amount of courage needed to maintain an attitude like his, Hayakawa described his first encounters with the baseball team as
very quiet ones. Price, who regards Yo as one of his favorite players from the 29 years he's been coaching, still remembers practices where his pitchers would work on situations such as pick-offs and communicating drills with Hayakawa was nearly impossible. Hayakawa guessed almost two years passed before he could speak English with any affluence.
Disaster stunned his sophomore season.
Yo made just one appearance in 2005 before bone spurs in his elbow forced him to sit the year
out for surgery. Still struggling with English, Hayakawa now had to communicate pain to a world that couldn't understand him. Yet, he never once thought of returning home.
"He's a pretty mentally tough
the frustration you're having, but he handled it great. I never got the feeling that he was thinking about going home. He just kept working and doing everything he could to get back to healthy."
Healthy again, Hayakawa is putting up career numbers in his final season as a jayhawk. In 12 appearances this year, he is 0-2 with a 6.35 ERA, but has struck out 16 batters compared to giving up only two walks in a role that he said fit his personality.
Hayakawa is constantly giving the credit to someone else. His graff

"That is a miracle," Hayakawa said in a fit of laughter. "I don't know how I did that. I was so impressed."
Impressive is the progress Yo has made in a quick five years. He is the last of the guys who started with Price and Graves, after his closest friends Ritchie Price, Don Czyz and Matt Baty finished their collegiate careers last season.
The young man who, a few short years ago sat next to Czyz at restaurants and gestured the same order as his teammate because he didn't know enough English to speak for himself, will graduate next month with a degree in economics and four years on a Division I roster.
"He'll be one of these guys that 10 years from now, when I'm done here, he'll have a legacy," Price said. "Everybody loves that guy. He's always up off the bench congratulating you. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He is truly special."

Hendrick's philosophy finally catching on
After 23 years, he finally has everyone on board and HMS has been rewarded with the hottest start in its history.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — As his NASCAR operation grew to four competitive cars, Rick Hendrick continuously preached his one-team philosophy — with mixed results.
His message sometimes was lost among egos, jealousy and an unwillingness to share. But the car owner remained convinced that Hendrick Motorsports would reap unlimited benefits if everyone subscribed to his plan.
Hendrick cars have won five of the first eight races this year, including all three events that used the NASCAR-designed Car of Tomorrow. Jeff Gordon is leading the Nextel Cup standings, defending champion Jimmie Johnson is fourth and Kyle Busch is sixth.
"This year more than any other year, we've got folks that are working together better, willing to share information better and make sure the cars are good for their teammates," said general manager Marshall Carlson. "There has been this sense of unity that has been building for some time, but I think we are starting to see the fruits of it now."
>> NHL
Although Hendrick is routinely in the upper echelon of NASCAR, the organization has never been this dominant across the board. Only Casey Mears, in his first season with Hendrick, is struggling and the team has made getting Mears up to speed its top priority.
"The only thing he ever asks of everyone is that we all work together," said Carlson. "There are two things that he always says in management meetings, in employee luncheons, in all forms of his businesses. He says, 'You can't sink half a ship, all of us together are going to be stronger than one of us alone.'
Currently 35th in the standings and the only Hendrick driver without a win this season, Mears is adapting to a new team, a crew chief he was paired with the week before the season began and also learning how to drive a Chevrolet after four years of driving a Dodge.
But the HMS resources already have kicked in, and it shouldn't take long to get Mears on track under the philosophy that Hendrick preaches in auto racing and auto sales.
"And he says, 'No great organization will ever be brought down or torn down from the outside. Success starts and ends from the inside.' We've been very vigilant about getting all hands on deck with both of those ideas."
Sabres defeat Rangers
BY JOHN WAWROW ASSOCIATED PRESS
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Thomas Vanek and the Buffalo Sabres sure looked like the cream of the crop Wednesday night.
Vanek scored twice, sparking a three-goal second period, and Ryan Miller stopped 32 shots in a 5-2 win over the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference semifinal playoff series opener. Jason Pominville and Ales Kotalik also scored for a Buffalo team that played much better after struggling to eliminate the New York Islanders in five games in the first round.
Marcel Hossa and Brendan Shanahan scored third-period goals for the Rangers, who lost their first game this postseason after sweeping Southeast Division champion Atlanta. The Rangers went 1-for-5 in power-play chances, but failed to score during a 2-minute, two-man advantage early in the third period.
The Sabres were particularly motivated after Rangers coach Tom Renney said this week that top-seeded Buffalo wasn't the NHL's "cream of the crop" team.
The Sabres never allowed the Rangers to within a goal in the third, and Drew Stafford sealed the win with an empty-netter.

Chiefs trade Hall for fifth-round pick
Riddell 28
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dante Hall will suit up for the St. Louis Rams next season after being traded from Kansas City on Wednesday. The 28-year-old Hall filled the Rains' need for a strong kick returner. He has returned 11 kickoffs and punts for touchdowns in his seven-year NFA career.
BY JIM SALTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams' long search for a return man ended Wednesday when the team picked up one of the best in NFL history, acquiring Dante Hall from Kansas City in exchange for a fifth-round pick in this weekend's draft.
"We have filled a need with one of the top players in football at his specialty, returning punts and kicks," Rams coach Scott Linehan said. "Dante will fit nicely on our special teams and can be utilized as a receiver in certain situations."
The trade could have draft-day implications for St. Louis. The Rams had expressed strong interest in Ohio State's Ted Ginn Jr., as much for his return ability as for his resume as a receiver. St. Louis also has several needs on defense.
Hall, 28, has returned 11 kickoffs and punts for touchdowns in his seven-year career, including four (two kickoffs, two punts) in 2003. Brian Mitchell holds the record with 14 kick-return touchdowns, followed by Eric Metcalf with 12.
Hall also needs one more kickoff return for a touchdown to break the record of six he now shares with Ollie Matson, Gale Sayers, Travis Williams and Mel Gray.
Hall was the NFI's top returner from 2002-2004. His production declined the last two season, though he had one punt return for a touchdown last season, on Oct. 1 against San Francisco.
In 2003, he averaged 25.9 yards per kickoff return and 16.3 yards per punt return.
Last season, Hall averaged 22.8 yards on 53 kickoff returns and 8.9 yards on 27 punt returns. He also caught 26 passes, two for touchdowns.
For his career, all of it with Kansas
City, Hall has averaged 24 yards per kickoff return and 10 yards per punt return.
Meanwhile, the Rams have struggled for years on kick returns. Last season, St. Louis averaged 7.8 yards
A Chiefs spokesman confirmed the trade and said the team would comment later.
per punt return. Only five teams were worse. The Rams were 26th in kickoff returns, averaging 21.3 yards.

Pacers fire coach after missing playoffs
BY CLIFF BRUNT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Rick Carlisle was fired Wednesday after four tumultuous years as Indiana Pacers coach, following
a season in which the team failed to make the playoffs for the first time in a decade.
The Pacers finished the season 35-47, their worst since 1988-89. Indiana was 29-24 shortly after the All-Star break, but lost its

next 11 games to fall out of the top eight in the Eastern Conference. A loss to Detroit on April 3 clinched the Pacers' first losing season since 1996-97.
Team president Larry Bird said Carslile had
an option to return to the team in another capacity.
"We mutually agreed it was probably time for him to move on and us to move in another direction and put
this behind us" Bird said at a news conference.
"He had a lot of ups and downs," Bird said. "With some of the problems we've had over the past few years, it's been tough on everyone. He's been awfully good for this franchise."
In the Pacers' first year under Carlisle in 2003-04, they went 61-21 for the best record in the NBA, and the club reached the Eastern Conference finals. Indiana started the 2004-05 season in similar fashion, winning six of its first eight games.
Then came Nov.19,2004.
Artest went into the stands after a Detroit Pistons fan he thought doused him with a beverage, and some of his teammates joined in the melee. Artest was suspended for 73 games and the playoffs, and teammates Jermaine O'Neal, Jackson and Anthony Johnson were given shorter suspensions.
The remaining Pacers clawed their way to a 44-38 record and the second round of the playoffs, but Pacers fans were upset that Reggie Miller's final season ended that way.

Ohio State Scarlet's J.D. Larson catches a pass as Gray's Malcolm Jenkins defends during Ohio State's annual spring football game Saturday in Columbus, Ohio.
Ohio State has high hopes for 2007
BY JOSH LEHMAN THE LANTERN
COLUMBUS, Ohio — You make me sick. Maybe not you specifically, but the general "you" make me gag like Chad Henne in a critical drive. All I'm hearing in the wake of a somewhat sloppy Spring Game is that Ohio State football will have, by our standards at least, an awful year. Predictions I hear rarely stray above 8-4 and hover around 7-5 on this year's record.
Have you forgotten which university we're talking about here, or have the Florida Gators given this campus a permanent inferiority complex? Sure, Troy Smith, Ted Ginn and Anthony Gonzalez are gone, but it's not like this team doesn't have talent. OSU means that we don't rebuild, we reload.
Obviously, Todd Boeckman isn't going to be winning the Heisman Trophy any time soon, but I saw a few things I liked on Saturday. The man has a good touch on his deep ball, and you know he won't turn it over much. Sounds like another
quarterback I know. That guy wore No. 16 a few years back.
On top of that, the Buckeyes won't need Boeckman to be like his predecessor. The personnel just isn't there to run the four and five wide receiver sets anymore. No, the days of 35-point first halves are gone my friends. Instead, Chris Wells will be pounding the ball left and right. After that, expect "Beanie" to hit the hole again in a way that would make Woody Hayes proud.
Not to say that there won't be any big plays for this team. Brian Robiskie and Ray Small are certainly capable wide receivers, though not in the Ginn/Gonzo class. Moreover, thanks to the wonder of a little thing I like to call "recruiting," a young man by the name of Brandon Saine is on his way to Columbus.
In case you haven't heard of Mr. Saine, next time you're looking for a way to put off your homework, try a YouTube search for him. A word to the wise though: have a change of pants ready. You'll need them. Three words: Reggie. Bush. Reincarnate.
More than anything though, the
reason I'm confident about this season is the defense. They may be young, but they're fast. Playmakers like Vernon Gholston, James Laurinaitis and Malcolm Jenkins give this unit big play potential at every level. Linebacker, Larry Grant looks poised for an impressive senior season, and incoming freshman Eugene Clifford (another YouTube distraction worth checking out) is exactly the type of safety this team needed in Arizona.
Make no mistake about it, there's really only one worrisome spot on the 2007 Bucks. The offensive line needs to show that they're the unit that gave Troy Smith all kinds of time in 2006, not the Swiss cheese/ wet paper bag combination that broke down against the Gators four months ago. This is huge. Boeckman does not have the mobility to make the plays when protection breaks down. Fortunately, he's not the type of guy to throw the ball up for grabs; he'll take the sack and Tressel-ball will live again.
doesn't scare me. John Cooper thinks Michigan's a bunch of chokers. Penn State and Wisconsin have as many question marks and holes to fill as we do, so I don't see any reason to think a third straight Big Ten Championship is out of reach. Have a little faith. We're Buckeyes, remember? A lucky bounce here or there, and we could be talking national title in New Orleans. More likely though, this team will win 10 or 11 games and go to the Rose Bowl or Fiesta Bowl.
Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but any team coached by Lloyd Carr

Terrapin tight end makes an impact Next season's top players emerge
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — He's far from a household name, but tight end Jason Goode has made the No. 15 jersey popular on the Terrapin football practice fields this spring.
At Saturday's scrimmage, Jordan Steffy dropped back and sailed a pass in Goode's direction. Gaining separation from his defender, Goode made an over-the-shoulder catch and dashed up the sideline all the way to the end zone.
That's the kind of impact Goode, who will be a senior next season, has had on the Turps this spring as part of a deep tight end position. He has given Steffy and the other quarterbacks a big target with soft hands while many receivers are struggling to hold on to the ball.
Coach Ralph Friedgen said

of the top pass-catchers last season. Goode has exemplified the drastic improvement at tight end this past month. Goode has illustrated better route-running, runblocking and catching skills, even beyond what he showed during the season.
The tight end trio of Goode, Joey Haynos and Dan Gronkowski has been extremely versatile as a group and has allowed the Terps' offense to do more things.
Goode had a foundation to build on though, thanks to the Terps' game plan against Georgia Tech. Leading up to the game, Goode practiced lining up at wide receiver and was split out to that position several times against the Yellow jackets.
"My blocking's come a long way. I try to improve in every aspect to the best of my abilities."
good hands. He's developing into a better blocker. He gives us some flexibility; he can play out wide or he can play inside"
Sam Hollenbach went to Goode early and often, throwing toward him four times on the first drive of the game. Goode made a clutch fourth-down catch on that drive.
"We can definitely all do everything," Haynos said. "Maybe some of us are better at some things, like Jason's a better route-runner than us, but what we lack in one thing we make up in other ways."

It was a new stage and new spot, even for a player who had seen plenty of game action at tight end in 2005.
"I was a little anxious," Goode said. "It was a little different for me. [I was] a
little nervous, thinking what I was gonna do. But once I got a few reps in the game, I was very loose, got a couple catches under my belt and I felt real in tune."
In tune is exactly what Goode and the other tight ends have been this spring. Frieden said the wide receivers have made progress, but acknowledged they have dropped the ball several times. The Terps have also dealt with depleted depth on the offensive line. In both cases, the tight ends filled in with catching and blocking duties thanks to the depth at the position.

Rutgers' Rice proves predictions wrong
BY DANE TRUXELL DAILY TARGUM
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. Rutgers running back Ray Rice is not large in stature by any means, measuring in at just 5"9" and 200 pounds.
Last season though, Rice proved all doubters — in him and in Rutgers — wrong by shouldering the vast majority of the offensive workload on his short frame and acting as the team's personal battering ram on the way to its first ever bowl win, earning him The Daily Targum's Male Athlete of the Year.
"Our success in our season came due to hard work," Rice said. "I couldn't have done what I did without my teammates, without my fellow teammate Brian Leonard and my offensive line."
The sophomore halfback scored 20 of the Scarlet Knights' 38 total.

As a sophomore, Rice had a season to remember, rushing for 1,794 yards, ranking him second in the nation behind only Garrett Wolfe, and an average of 5.4 yards-percarry.
Rice's season rushing total shattered the previous school record of 1,353 yards set in 1973 by former tailback LL lennines.
touchdowns on the season, and much of his success comes from his ability to wait for, and see, running lanes open up in the offensive line.
"I'm a patient runner. I like to let my O-Line work for me, and I'll do my thing afterward," Rice said. "I've been playing running back all my life, so I think it's one of those things that I'm gifted with and I just kept going with it. ... I never try to do too much, that's just the kind of football player I am."
Rice also had an uncanny ability to get better as games got into the fourth quarter. No game exemplified this more than the Louisville game when he rushed for 75 yards in the final 15 minutes of the game.
"Just mental toughness, when the game gets tough, I never get down on myself," Rice said. "The coaches believe in me, and I trust in myself. It was just one of those games where I was able to come through. Everybody dug deep, and I was able to help my team win."
Rice's trip to Rutgers was an unusual one, as he had originally
"That was the window of opportunity that we had and were able to talk to Ray again," Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano said, "because he had committed to them in the late spring. So, it was a done deal until they made that change. So, really we were blessed with the opportunity, and then we like to think that we did things the right way."
committed to Syracuse, but when former head coach Paul Pasqualoni was fired in 2005, Rice decided to attend Rutgers, likely changing the fortunes for both programs.
"The whole family feeling [in the program is why I came]," Rice said. "I live an hour from Rutgers, so it made it easier. But, knowing the type of guy [Sichiano] was, and feeling him out, it made me more comfortable about making my decision."
Rice, and the rest of the Scarlet Knights are now preparing for the 2007 season, trying to once again improve their position.
Rice, a New Rochelle, N.Y., native, said Schiano's presence in the program was a big reason why he came.

Draft winners, losers picked for 2007 season

LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell is expected to be drafted No. 1 by the Oakland Raiders during this weekend's NFL Draft.
BY DAVE GOLDBERG
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — No one in the NFL disputes that Calvin Johnson, the wide receiver from Georgia Tech, is the one "can't-miss" prospect in this weekend's draft.
The problem is wide receivers are not normally worth the first overall pick. That honor is usually reserved for a harder-to-find star; a franchise quarterback or a pass-rushing defensive end like Mario Williams, whom Houston took No. 1 last year, byypassing Vince Jones and Reggie Bush.
So far, that looks like a Texas-size mistake. So have been some No. 1 QBs, notably Tim Couch, taken by Cleveland in 1999, its first year back in the NFL as an expansion team. (No, Ryan Leaf wasn't No. 1 overall in 1998, although being No. 2 is bad enough.)
The Raiders could take Johnson and are considering it. But if they do, they have only Andrew Walter to throw him the ball and little hope for the future. Their offense scored just 12 touchdowns last season.
This year's top pick belongs to Oakland,
That means, most likely, JaMarcus Russell of LSU, who moved into the "best quarterback available" spot in the Sugar Bowl by outplaying the previously designated No. 1, Brady Quinn of Notre Dame. It was a very quick transition, certainly abetted by the fact Russell's teammates on both offense and defense were a lot better than Quinn's — at least two more LSU players are likely to go in the first round.
Russell fits the profile for an Al Davis quarterback — he reportedly can throw the ball 80 yards in the air. Not that anyone completes passes like that in a game, but it fits the "vertical" offense Davis has been fond of since he coached the team 40 years ago and Daryle Lamonica was going deep on nearly every play.
So assuming Johnson can't throw the ball to himself, Oakland takes ...
JAMARCUS RUSSELL, QB, LSU.
2. DETROIT
If anyone at the top trades down, it will be Detroit because Matt Millen took wide receivers three years in a row (2002-2004) and two of them were busses. So he probably doesn't take Johnson, but might dangle him for Tampa Bay or Washington. Then he could go down and choose DE Gaines Adams of Clemson, the pass rusher he covets.
Because we don't do trades here
3. CLEVELAND.
GAINES ADAMS, DE, Clemson.
3. CLEVELAND
Does anyone think Jamal Lewis, who shows every sign of being worn down, is really an every-down back? Charlie Flyte may not be a long-term QB, but ADRIAN PETERSON, RB, Oklahoma is a 1,500-yard per season euv
4. TAMPA BAY.
Jon Gruden REALLY wants Johnson. He also needs a stud left tackle like Joe Thomas. Can Jeff Garcia or Chris Simms find Calvin if they're getting buried? Gruden might have to trade up to get him if Davis or Millen feints taking him. But in any event ... CALVIN JOHNSON, WR Georgia Tech
5. ARIZONA.
The logical need is offensive line. And the "word" is that new coach Ken Whisenhunt and sidekick Russ Grimm aren't sold on Thomas. Disinformation to get Thomas to fall this far? JOE THOMAS, OT, Wisconsin.
6. WASHINGTON.
The Redskins are picking this high because Dan "The Fan" Snyder tries to run the draft, something an owner should never do. If someone tells him that he needs youthful AMOBI OKOYE, DT, and Dan takes that advice, he'll probably be doing the right thing.
7. MINNESOTA.
Brady Quinn could go here. But the Vikings still like Tarvaris Jackson, last year's drafted quarterback, and LEON HALL, CB, Michigan is a need for a secondary that got torched a lot last season.
8. ATLANTA.
The Falcons need a pass rusher
to replace PAT Kerney, JAMAAL ANDERSON, DE. Arkansas.
9. MIAMI.
The Dolphins have been looking for a QB since Dan Marino retired a decade ago. BRADY QUINN, QB, Notre Dame isn't Marino. But he's not Joey Harrington either. Especially if the Dolphins get Trent Green to stand in for a year.
10. HOUSTON.
The Texans can hope that Peterson slides here, a possibility that would help them overcome the ridicule they got when they passed last year on Bush. But they also must protect new QB Matt Schaub. LEVI BROWN, T, Penn State.
11. SAN FRANCISCO.
a lot of free agents, overpaying for all of them. They still need defense and ADAM CARRIKER, DE, Nebraska, can play either 3-4 or 4-3, a good player for Mike Nolan's schemes.
12. BUFFALO.
The 49ers spent a lot of money on
The Bills have done some strange things in the offseason. But they can finish at .500, which seems to be their level, with defense. PATRICK WILLIIS, LB, Mississippi.
13. ST. LOUIS.
The Rams have taken a lot of defensive tackles high and none have really panned out. ALAN BRANCH, DT, Michigan, has the ability although there are questions about his work ethic.
fun if the Panthers took Southern Cal receiver Steve Smith to team with incumbent Steve Smith. Except that the younger Steve is pegged 20-30 picks lower. Besides, LaRON LANDRY, S, LSU is a top-10 quality pick.
14. CAROLINA.
For confusion's sake, it would be
15. PITTSBURGH.
A lot of folks think they'll take undersized linebacker Lawrence Timmons because he's a lot like the departed Joey Porter. But the Steelers like locals, as long as they're good. PAUL POSLUSZNY, LB Penn State.
16. GREEN BAY.
Vernand Morency, Brandon Miree, Noah Herron? MARSHAWN LYNCH, RB, California.
17. JACKSONVILLE.
He's still here, so REGGIE NELSON, S, Florida is the perfect fit.
18. CINCINNATI.
Two Bengals CBs are on the team's deep arrest list. DARRELLE REVIS, CB, Pitt, hasn't had any off-field problems. He also can cover and return kicks.
. OK, Vince Young is the future.
But he needs someone to catch the ball,
DWAYNE BOWE, WR, LSU.
19. TENNESSEE
20. NEW YORK GIANTS.
The Giants really need cornerbacks and can use linebackers, too. But it's harder to find a left tackle. JOE STALEY, OT, Central Michigan.
21. DENVER.
One reason the Broncos missed the playoffs last season was the decision to start Jay Cutler at QB and let him develop. But they also had no pass rush. JARVIS MOSS, DE, Florida.
22. DALLAS.
Terry Glenn is aging and Terrell Owens is, well, Terrell Owens. TED GINN Jr., WR, Ohio State can return kicks until he learns to run routes.
23. KANSAS CITY.
Yes, the Chiefs need a wide receiver and replacements for Will Shields and Willie Roaf, the rocks of an offensive line that carried them for so long. ERIC WRIGHT, CB, UNLV, who has had off-field issues, but may be the most talented player at his
position in this draft
24. NEW ENGLAND.
25. NEW YORK JETS.
Bill Belichick got this pick from Seattle for Deion Branch. "We couldn't get anyone as good as Deion here." Seattle's Mike Holmgren says. With Asante Samuel, the franchise player, sounding like Branch did last season, take AARON ROSS, CB, Texas.
26. PHILADELPHIA.
The Jets are moving their training base to New Jersey. GREG OLSEN, TE, Miami, comes from New Jersey. Good reason to mock draft him, and let him play in the same stadium as another Miami TE. Jeremy Shockey
The Eagles don't like taking linebackers this early. So they take a safety, BRANDON MERIWEATHER, S, Miami, who has some behavioral damage that might keep him from going higher.
27. NEW ORLEANS.
It's good to be drafting this low because it means you won a lot. Does Jason David solve their problems at CB? Maybe. So try LAWRENCE TIMMONS, LB, Florida State.
28. NEW ENGLAND.
The Patriots have a small draft board made up of players who fit Belichick's schemes. It might contain ANTHONY SPENCER, DE-LB, Purdue, a guy like Willie McGinest and Adalius Thomas from the school that produced Rosevelt Colvin.
29. BALTIMORE.
Edwin Multilato is gone. Jonathan Ogden may be going, OL help is critical. JUSTIN BLALOCK, G. Texas.

LSU football plans special opener for fall season
BY CASEY GISCLAIR THE DAILY REVEILLE
BATON ROUGE, La. — When the LSU football team takes the field Sept. 8 in Tiger Stadium for its home opener, nearly five months would have passed since 32 students were shot and killed at Virginia Tech University.
But the LSU Athletic Department will not turn a blind eye to the nation's largest shooting ever, as LSU plans to honor the Hokies when the Tigers host Virginia Tech.
"Now it's our turn to give something back to people who are in need of something positive."

LSU Senior Associate Athletic Director Herb Vincent told The Daily Reveille early Tuesday in an e-mail that LSU is being cautious about how to handle the situation. He said LSU is trying to figure out the appropriate way to recognize the tree.
*edy in order to respect Virginia' Tech's fans.
But he also said LSU will be in communication with Virginia Tech officials in the near future to discuss the best way to handle the situation.
LSU Sports Information Director Michael Bonnette went beyond Vincent, saying there will definitely be a tribute to the Hokies.
"We don't have anything definite set yet, but there will be something done that day to honor the victims and Virginia Tech," he said.
According to the Interim Athletic Director for Student Government Dixon McMakin, plans are currently being made with the Athletic Department to make the Virginia Tech game the annual "Gold Game," in which the entire student section is urged to wear gold shirts.
McMakin said sales from next season's shirt would go to the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund.
Two seasons ago, LSU was the recipient of other schools' generosity, as most of the Tigers' 2005-06 opponents donated money to the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.
Graduate student Blake Thibodaux said LSU is doing the right thing. "When we were in need, we were given hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions of dollars, from the other schools," he said. "Now it's our turn to give something back to people who are in need of something positive."
Gymnastics senior Nicki Butler, football sophomore defensive back Joe Maltempi, and track and field sophomore Christina Porter are the only LSU athletes from Virginia.
Rockies crush Mets at Shea
MLB
Colorado has season-high 20 hits in game
BY HAL BOCK ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Willy Taveras got five of Colorado's season-high 20 hits and the Rockies snapped out of an offensive drought Wednesday with an 11-5 rout of the New York Mets.
Todd Helton had four hits and three RBIs and John Mabry added a three-run homer. The Rockies salvaged the victory after managing just one run in each of the first two games of the series against the Mets.
Jose Reyes had two doubles and two singles for New York. He would've had a fifth hit, too, but Taveras sprinted into the left-center field gap and caught Reyes' first-inning drive near the wall.
Josh Fogg (1-1) retired the first nine New York batters and contributed a pair of singles. He scored twice as the Rockies roughed up
Fogg took a shutout into the sixth inning, a turnaround from his last start when he was tagged for 11 hits and eight runs in just three innings against San Diego.
Mike Pelfrey (0-2).
The Rockies pushed across a run in the first when Troy Tulowitzki walked, stole second and scored on Helton's bloop single to center.
Colorado then tagged Pelfrey for five runs in the third, bunching four singles for two runs before Mabry broke open the game with his home run.
Fogg opened the inning with a single and Taveras beat out a bunt, setting up RBI singles by Matt Holliday and Helton. Mabry then hit his first home run — it was just the eighth all season for the Rockies, the lowest total in the major leagues.
The five runs in one inning were more than Colorado has scored in any game in the last week.

NASCAR creates modern car with competition, safety advantages
TECHNOLOGY
BY MIKE HARRIS AP AUTO RACING WRITER
NASCAR's grand experiment, the Car of Tomorrow, took the next step last Saturday night in Phoenix, and it was not a big hit with many of the Nextel Cup drivers.
Other than an exciting late-race duel between eventual winner Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart, the 312-lap Nextel Cup race on the 1-mile oval at Phoenix International Raceway appeared to most be a ploiding affair.
The COT is the culmination of a seven-year project by NASCAR's research and development division, an effort to make a safer car and one that also provides better competition passing and side-by-side duels.
The Phoenix race was the first COT event on a track longer than a half-mile and what the drivers considered the first real test of the aerodynamic features of the new car.
If this is what they have to
Strangely, one of the drivers who complained the most was Denny Hamlin, who overcame a speeding penalty on pit road that set him back to 31st and ended up finishing third. To do that, he had to pass more than half the cars
"I only saw what was around me, but it didn't look like a good race, really, to me," Biffle said. "I didn't see a lot of side-by-side. I didn't see the big, everybody equal. I saw everybody sliding all over the place.
"And NASCAR's claim to fame is they want them hard to drive. Well, it's not that they're hard to drive, it just that they're not like driving a race car. They're like giving us Pinewood derby cars and saying, 'OK, everybody, this is what you're going to race.'"
"I could see the leaders almost the whole race, and it was like we all were just out there running the exact same lap times."

they have to look forward to as the COT continues to be worked into the schedule, nobody is going to be very happy.
Greg Biffle, who finished two spots ahead of Earnhardt in 17th, wasn't too thrilled with the new car, either.
"I could see the leaders almost the whole race, and it was like we all were just out there running the exact same lap times," said Dale Earnhardt Jr. "It was a parade. I was bored."
"To be as nice as I can ... it's frustrating," Hamil said. "People will say, 'But you went from the back to the front.' But weak it

car series and been in development since 1981.
"Our car was just that much better than everyone else. ... I don't know how we're going to run these cars on bigger tracks without changes."
Robin Pemberton, NASCAR's vice president of competition and a longtime crew chief, said it isn't surprising that drivers are complaining, because the COT is very different from the cars that have been raced in the top stock
"We are satisfied with the progress that's been made by the teams," Pemberton told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "The races were good, with fewer DNFs (did not finish) than we've seen historically, and the finishes were close.
"And, from my viewpoint, there was more racing going on around the whole racetrack. I'm really pleased about what I see behind third place, the intensity."
Pemberton noted that drivers
such as the 26-year-old Hamlin haven't been through major changes before.
"We have a lot of very, very young drivers and this is the first rule change some of these guys have ever gone through," he said. "They don't understand how you work through these changes and they don't have the same feel for it as somebody like Jeff Gordon or Mark Martin, who have lived through changes before."
The drivers who aren't happy with the new cars will need to start making those mental adjustments soon because the COT will be raced
13 more times this season and will be phased into the entire 36-race schedule by 2009 for sure, and possibly by 2008.
"I would say some of the teams, like Hendrick and Gibbs and Earnhardt, have had good cars in this race," Pemberton said. "They obviously have worked real hard to get a leg up on the other teams.
"The places where all the teams are making strides is learning how to work on these cars, how to make them better for their drivers."
And not all of the drivers are unhappy with the car now.

Cardinals fight through losing record
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, who rode out the team's stuttering finish last season before the team righted itself in time to win a World Series, seems committed to enduring the team's early struggles this year.
The Cardinals were 8-11 entering Wednesday night's game against the Cincinnati Reds, including a 1-7 record at home. They had been plagued by slow starts, getting outscored 15-3 in the first inning and 21-6 the first two.
La Russia said it's much too early for a shakeup or roster infusion from the minor leagues.
"We're looking at it all the time," La Russa said. "I'm just thinking that you don't draw big conclusions before you're out of the month of April."
The Cardinals had scored first in only four of the first 19 games, and had scored three or fewer runs in 11 games, going 1-10 under that scenario. It's put considerable pressure on a rebuilt rotation minus all five starters from opening day 2006 given that ace Chris Carpenter has been on the 15-day disabled list with an elbow injury since pitching on opening day.
Braden Looper, who started Wednesday, and Adam Wainwright
were starting for the first time in their careers. Wainwright, second-year pitcher Anthony Reyes and Kip Wells, coming off a two-win, injury-plagued 2006, all have been spotty.
"I would
given consecutive Sunday outbursts of 10, 10 and 12 runs leaving table scraps for the other games.
assume that a pitcher going out with a lead would be more comfortable on the mound and settle in a little easier," Scott Rolen said. "It's a pretty easy formula to figure out."
"This team since I've been here has been putting three, four, five runs up a night, and if somebody deals against us we're going to scratch out two and see if somebody
"We need to score some runs and take some pressure off"
"I'm just thinking that you don't draw big conclusions before you're out of the month of April."
The Cardinals were averaging about 3 1/2 runs, a misleading total
TONY LA RUSSA
Cardinals manager
can hold them to one," Rolen said. "We're putting zeros and ones and twos up there and we're doing it late."
St. Louis won four in a row the second week of the season, but had lost six of eight entering
Wednesday's game.
Jim Edmonds had four RBIs and a .196 average in 17 games after missing most of spring training recovering from foot and shoulder surgeries. Rolen was 7-for-9 the last two games, but before that his average had been below .200. Albert Pujols was struggling with a .230
average while dogged by minor leg woes.
The three players who have started in right field while Juan Encarnacion rehabs from offseason wrist surgery, Preston Wilson, Scott Spiezio and Skip Schumaker, were hitting a combined .214 with one homer and 10 RBIs. Second baseman Adam Kennedy, the only addition to the lineup from last season, was at .212 with four RBIs.
"If we stand at my locker enough, I think you'll hear me say the word consistent or wanting to be consistent or trying to be consistent," Rolen said. "I haven't had a consistent three weeks.
"When you don't have a consistent three weeks and hitting in the four-hole, you're going to go up and down."
La Russa said he began checking with trainer Barry Weinberg at 11 a.m., eight hours before game time, to assess Pujols' condition.
"In the time he's played he's played the majority of games with ouches, and he's always hit," La Russa said.

NBA PLAYOFFS Spurs rally from 17 points behind to beat Nugetcs
SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs nearly headed to Denver down 0-2. After sanquering most of a 17-point fourth-quarter lead, the Spurs held on for a 97-88 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night to even the first-round playoff series.
Manu Ginobili had eight points
in the fourth quarter and Tim Duncan added seven points in the final 12 minutes to save the Spurs from losing two home games.
Duncan led San Antonio with 22 points and five blocked shots. Tony Parker had 20 points, Ginobili had 17, all but two in the second half, and Michael Finley added 14.
The Nuggets got within 91-88 on a 3-pointer by Allen Iverson with 45 seconds to play, but Duncan's layup and free throws by
Finley and Parker put the Spurs on even footing with Denver, which won Game 1 95-89 on Sunday.
Carmelo Anthony led the Nuggets with 26 points and 10 rebounds, Iverson added 20 points, Nene had 17 points and Marcus Camby had 10 points and 18 rebounds.
Game 3 in the best-of-seven series is Saturday in Denver.

Dorm-life is supposed to be a taste of freedom. Leaving parents — and their rules — behind usually means setting your own curfew, deciding for yourself who can sleep over and running your own life. But for me, dorm-life meant more rules, not fewer.

I entered GSP in 2004, and left before 2005. Living in an all-girl's dorm was too much of a shock after my mom's relaxed parenting techniques. During high school, my mom let me make my own decisions about what was right and wrong; I was rarely told when to be home at night, and I could choose who to have in my room and when to have them there.
After reading Laura Evers' article about getting along with your parents after experiencing freedom (page 10), I realize that I should have sat down with my resident advisor and had a talk about boundaries. Maybe then I could have had a guy stay in my room on a Tuesday night.

Q&A with Dr. Drew
Dr. Drew Pinsky — medical doctor, relationship expert, television personality and, most famously, radio host — has been dishing out sexual, health and addiction advice for decades. Dr. Drew answers layplay's questions about sexual health and safety on campus.
Q: WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE BIGGEST SEXUAL HEALTH CONCERN ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES TODAY?
I think the biggest concern is no different than in any other phase of life. It's about finding relationships and being happy. In college, the social constraints are so unnatural that people try to negotiate the hook-up culture.
Q: YOU'VE BEEN VOCAL ABOUT HPV FOR A WHILE NOW. WHAT SHOULD COLLEGE STUDENTS KNOW ABOUT THE VIRUS?
Everyone should be vaccinated; it's been given approval for those aged 9 to 26.The earlier you get it,the more effective it is.The almost 4,000 deaths a year from cervical cancer caused by some strains of HPV can almost be eliminated.Fifty percent of college-aged people have the virus. Everyone should be vaccinated, use condoms and take careful risk measures.
Q: HOW CAN STUDENTS BE SAFER AND MORE HEALTHY WHEN GOING OUT?
One of the big issues that we're constantly dealing with is that if you look at every adverse health situation, like sexually transmitted diseases and even pregnancy, you find drugs or alcohol. People are getting loaded to handle the intensity of this unnatural social construct. They need to think of less intense ways to handle this social construct like having meals and sitting down together and giving each other one-on-one contact.
There's no single recipe for staying safe, but using less drugs and alcohol has an impact on staying safe.It's not about thinking that everyone needs to live up to the normative standard of the hormones-raising 17-year-old male. People are not happy when they just rely on the hook-up experience for a social life.
Q: WHAT ABOUT DISCOVERING NEW THINGS?
Enjoy college. It's a time to spread your wings a bit and discover things on your own. Yet to constantly do the hook-up as your primary goal is wrong. Many of my patients with addictions and problems have shown that it starts in college. Their problems may not have spun out of control in the same way had they not been endorsed in college.

GRAD CHECK
Sofia Galarza Liu
Year: 2000
Degree: Art History
Hometown: Lawrence
Back in the day: As a freshman, Liu's interest in art led her to volunteer at the information desk at the Spencer Museum of Art. She eventually became a paid employee, earning her money as a membership assistant. She spent her weekends at the fine arts building working on studio projects. Liu was also involved with the Hispanic American Leadership Organization throughout her undergraduate career and became the group's vice president during her senior year. She also spent a semester
studying in Golfito, Costa Rica.
The grad life: After Liu graduated, she took a job at Art Frames, 912 Illinois St. She didn't stay gone for long, however, and she returned to the University for graduate school less than a year later. While working toward her master's in museum studies, she intered at the Spencer Museum of Art and later began working there full-time.
Today: As collection manager at the Spencer Museum of Art, Liu
says there's no such thing as a normal day. She says she enjoys the museum because it attracts interesting people — especially her co-workers — who care about the arts.
She says:"Don't just be involved with what you're studying but also be involved with extracurriculars and work.I think it's really important to work when you're in school because it broadens your horizons."

From Albania to Zimbabwe, KU students come from all over the world
by Jennifer Denny
On a campus where 70 percent of the students are from Kansas, the 1,614 international students at KU are in the minority. Despite being thousands of miles from home, some international students have become more independent, but, like most students, they still miss home.
The decision to study abroad isn't easy, and for some international students, like Julio Castillo, Sucre, Bolivia, junior, boarding a plane destined for the United States is the first time they have left their country.
Castillo followed his sister's footsteps in leaving Bolivia to study electrical engineering at KU because the universities are much better in the United States, he says."At the beginning, I was excited about coming to the United States, not exactly Kansas," he says with a laugh. "I only heard about the Manhattan side of Kansas."
Despite his original perception of Kansas, Castillo has grown to like the state and has gotten involved as a student ambassador for the Global Awareness Program, an initiative that recognizes undergraduates' international experiences through study abroad, foreign language study and international co-curricular activities. He is also involved
with the International Students Association, where he met Jakub Lichwa, an international student from Ropczyce, Poland.
Lichwa, unlike Castillo, made his decision to study abroad months before enrolling at KU. After picking up a Newsweek magazine in Poland, the junior studied tuition rates and national rankings of American universities before calling family in Philadelphia for advice. He completed the Test of English as a Foreign Language (a test international students must take to demonstrate at least a limited proficiency of the English language), sent his admission application to KU and began classes two months later.
Don't let the quick decision fool you, though; Lichwa has always been interested in studying here. "If you have an American degree in Europe, you have doors opened to you," he says. For international students like Lichwa, the cost of attending KU is the same as out-of-state tuition for domestic students.
Opting for the more independent approach to orientating himself to the University, Lichwa skipped the traditional New International Student Orientation held the week before classes start in August. The New International Student Orientation allows
students from 113 countries to meet new people, learn about KU and the U.S., and offers information sessions on topics such as enrolling, cultural adjustments, healthcare and safety. Although he doesn't regret not attending, Lichwa says he was frustrated with the lack of classes related to his major that were available when he finally enrolled only a few days before the semester started.
Even more frustrating than enrolling, which every KU student knows is a pain, is the bar scene in Lawrence, Lichwa says. In Europe, 18 is the legal age for driving and drinking, but because 21 is the minimum age for admittance into most Lawrence bars, Lichwa says, "You have to be 21 to basically get out of your apartment." However, since turning legal age in September, he has been able to enjoy Lawrence more and has visited Las Vegas and Miami, two vacation destinations he says he cannot get enough of.
Lichwa even gets to go home more often than most international students because he takes advantage of winter and summer breaks and easy flight connections out of New York City. Imran Ghazali, Karachi, Pakistan, junior, isn't always as fortunate to return home.
Ghazali has been home only

once since enrolling at the University in August 2004. "I wasn't as excited as some other people were about starting classes at KU," he admits, but he has enjoyed the freedom of living independently of his parents. Moving more than 7,500 miles away from home has given him the autonomy of making his own decisions, so he can choose to eat at 3 a.m. or hang out with friends until late, he says. But he says he still misses his parents, family, friends and native food.
Ghazali has certainly made the decision to get involved while studying at KU, which was briefly interrupted when he transferred to Johnson County Community College to save money on
tuition his sophomore year. He is now on the executive board of the International Students Association, an organization that promotes international representation and activities on campus such as International Awareness Week, game nights and a Halloween party. He also helps organize concerts for the Pakistani Club, plays with the Cricket Club and attends Muslim Students Association meetings. "I feel like I should put some time into my studies, but I would rather be involved," he says.
Ghazali spends so much of his time with his organizations that most of his friends are also international students from various countries that he met in these clubs, but as his classes get smaller in the School of Business, he has made more American friends, he says
Even halfway around the world, some things in class are the same for Ghazali. At home in Pakistan, most of the lectures in high school and college are conducted in English, so he doesn't find his classes here too difficult. However, he says sometimes he thinks he needs extra time to understand the content properly, like during exams.
Dr. Joe Potts, director of the International Student and Scholar Services, says he is delighted
that international students have brought their world to Lawrence to share with other students. "Ninety-five percent of the world is un-American, so an education is incomplete and parochial unless it acquaints students with their entire world and not just the American sliver of it." he says.
As for these three international juniors, each is looking forward to graduation in May 2008, but each will pursue a life as different as their cultures.
Castillo wants to remain in the United States and is looking at graduate schools, where he is considering studying biomechanical engineering. If he stays, he will need to adjust to the food, which he currently hates because everything is frozen and processed, he says.
Lichwa's love of Miami forces him to quickly say he will live in Florida and fish and play golf every day, but he too will be looking for a job to match his finance major. Unlike the other two, he says he wouldn't mind returning to Europe to work in London.
And in true upperclassmen style, Ghazali says, "That has become a tricky question now." Even though he still has a year left to study at KU, he says his plans will depend on whether he gets a job, but his parents would like him to return home.

Girl! I think it's great that KU offers Yiddish, but I think it's because the Chancellor's son converted to Judaism.
Professor: Still, Yiddish in Kansas. It's great.
Girl 1: I really need a B in my chem class.
Girl 2: So are you gonna have sex with the teacher?
Girl 1: Well, he is about 70 years old. So... absolutely!
Girl 1 (on phone): Yeah, I think it'll really affect my grade dramatically.
Girl 2 (whispering to)
Girl 3: Did she just say "dramatically?"
Girl 3: Yeah, I think so.
Guy (on phone): Nah, man.
I don't have to go to class at all next week, so I ain't trippin'.
Girl: I was so excited about 4/20. I was even writing it all over my notebooks and doodling. Then I realized that I couldn't even celebrate it because I have so much shit to do. Dammit!
Girl (on phone): So I woke up this morning naked. My car was gone and I had no idea how I got home or what I did last night.
**Guy 1:** Is it true that that Wallflowers song "One Headlight" is about erect nipples?
**Guy 2:** I doubt it.
**Guy 3:** Well, it's just that in pornos I've heard people refer to erect nipples as "headlights."
**Guy 4:** Oh, yeah. I see it.
**Professor:** Oh look, I've found a dime. Did anyone lose a dime?

WHAT it's LIKE
TO WORK AT KU INFO
Do you know how many trees there are on campus? Lauren McCoy, Overland Park junior, does.
McCoy works at KU Info and says the job itself isn't difficult, and is more an exercise in resourcefulness than. in being particularly knowledgeable.
"It's not about knowing the answer to every question," McCoy says. "It's about being able to find the answers."
People most frequently ask about campus telephone numbers and because of their popularity McCoy has memorized many of the main telephone numbers, including those for the Bursar's Office, the Student Recreation Fitness Center and the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, she says.
08 ⇒ JAYPLAY 04.26.2007
Some questions are not as common, but McCoy is armed and ready. With the help of search engines like Google and Web sites like Wikipedia, McCoy quickly looks up answers online, making her job easier and more efficient than it would be without the Internet.
"Most of the questions are things that
KUinfo
people could look up themselves," McCoy says,
"I just get paid to look it up for you."
Having worked for KU Info for more than a year, McCoy has encountered bizarre questions including "how big is the average walrus penis?"
McCoy is only obligated to answer questions about KU and the campus, and never has to answer questions that make her uncomfortable. But, she says, she is willing to answer random questions as long as the callers aren't rude about it.
Just for the record, McCoy estimates there are about 18,000 trees on campus.
KU Info can be reached at (785) 864-3506 or online at kiufo.ku.edu.

TRY THESE RECIPES REQUIRING SPRING INGRIEDIENTS
103
Chuck Haren, Stillwell sophomore, says he enjoys going grocery shopping with no meal in mind and picking ingredients based on what looks good. He created this "simple, fast, easy and pretty delicious" pasta dish last week.
PHOTOS/ ANNA FALTFRMFIEI
>
1/2 lb pasta
1 large red bell pepper, cut into large chunks
1-2 cloves chopped garlic
Small handful of fresh basil
Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
For other spring recipes, head into The Community Mercantile and check out their recipe corner or talk with the vendors at the Downtown Lawrence Farmers' Market.
Cook pasta according to package instructions. Heat olive oil and chopped garlic together over medium heat. Add red pepper chunks, basil and salt and pepper, and sauté for a few minutes until soft. Toss with cooked pasta and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Serves 3-4.
Fresh herbs are abundant in spring and give dishes much better flavors than dried herbs, says Hilary Brown, owner of Local Burger. Here is her recipe for dairy-free pesto, which substitutes white miso for Parmesan cheese and walnuts for the pine nuts found in the traditional Italian recipe.The miso and walnuts add essential fatty acids and omega-3s,which benefit the brain,increase metabolism and keep blood sugar levels stable.
1/3 cup olive oil
5 cups loosely packed fresh basil
1-2 small garlic cloves
SPRING EATS
1/2 tablespoon light white miso paste
by Katrina Mohr
1/2 cup walnuts
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
Put the basil in a food processor first and pulse a few times. Add the walnuts and pulse a few more times and then add garlic, miso, olive oil and salt. Blend until smooth and add more garlic or salt to taste. Makes enough for a small crowd to use as a dip or spread, or enough to serve over pasta for 6-8 people.
After months of hearty comfort food, a variety of fresh spring ingredients are now available in Lawrence. Take advantage of the spring harvest, and enjoy a clean, healthy meal you can linger over while sitting outside and embracing the warm weather.
When you don't want to cook
Many Lawrence restaurants use local seasonal produce in their menus. Pachamama's, 800 New Hampshire St., and Local Burger, 714 Vermont St., are two that take advantage of what every season has to offer.
Pachamama's
Spring is a new beginning, says Ken Baker, owner and executive chef of Pachamama's. "It's my favorite time of the year," he says. Lots of crops are coming up and there are many fresh ingredients available.
Pachamama's changes its menu every month so that the items contain the best seasonal ingredients, many of which are producedlocally.Bakersays.Some of Baker's favorite ingredients to include in his spring menu are morel mushrooms, fava beans, asparagus, snap peas and young chicken or lamb.
For a taste of spring, try the 24-hour leg of spring lamb with vidalia onion, minted pea cream, pea shoots, curry oil and lentil crispes ($12) or the taglietelle with blonde morels, chive crème fraiche and Parmesan ($13) on Pachamama's April menu.
Local Burger
Spring produce has good energy and flavors, says Hilary Brown, owner of Local Burger, 714 Vermont St. "I like the colors and the freshness," she says.
"They really make meals come together."
Local Burger emphasizes sustainability and awareness of where food comes from. Dishes are made using local and regional ingredients. "Buying local produce does so much, from benefiting the economy to tasting better and being better for you," Brown says.
Trythechickensaladmadewith local chicken, parsley, peas and thyme ($7.50) or a turkey burger topped with feta and pesto ($8) paired with a strawberry hemp milk smoothie ($4).
When you do want to cook
Lawrence has plenty of grocery stores,but to find local produce the options are a little more limited. Here are your best bets for finding fresh local ingredients.
The Community Mercantile
Seasonal staples such as asparagus, fresh herbs and peas will be at The Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa St., in abundance very soon, says Laura Cowden, produce manager at The Merc. Now that spring has arrived, people are buying more fresh foods and ingredients they don't have to cook to enjoy, she says. The Merc has more than 125 produce items in store during the year and has the only USDA Certified Organic Produce section in Lawrence.
Chuck Haren, Stilwell sophomore, says he shops at The Merc because of the great selection of organic produce. "I buy organic because I like the idea of putting pure food into my body that has no pesticides or chemicals," he says.
Buying quality organic food is often more expensive than the non-organic alternatives,but Haren says it's worth it because
he feels better and it's better for the environment. As a college student, Haren says he has to make time to cook, but he enjoys cooking, so he makes it a priority. "You have to be open-minded. I sometimes go shopping with $6 and get what I can and make something delicious," he says. "It's kind of a challenge."
The Downtown Lawrence Farmers' Market
The Downtown Lawrence Farmers' Market is the oldest farmers' market in Kansas and includes more than 80 vendors. Everything offered is grown or made in northeast Kansas.
Buying directly from the vendors at the market allows people to ask questions about how the product was grown or raised. Vendors also encourage people to try ingredients they wouldn't otherwise use because they can advise people about how to prepare an unusual ingredient, Taylor-Puckett says.
Mercedes Taylor-Puckett, market coordinator, says the local community aspect is what makes shopping at the market different from shopping at a grocery store. "Food at the market is fresher and more nutritious because it only has to travel an average of 15 miles to get to Lawrence compared to hundreds of miles some food has to travel to get here," she says.
The market offers a variety of products ranging from herbs, greens, vegetables, fruits, cheeses, meats, preserves and baked goods. The market won first place for best fresh vegetables in the Best of Lawrence 2006 survey. It's open from 7 to 11 a.m. at 824 New Hampshire St. on Saturdays and from 4 to 6 p.m. at 1020 Vermont St. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Home is where the FIGHT is
Going home can be a struggle, but it doesn’t have to be the end of your relationship with your parents
By Laura Evers
Growing up, I had a great relationship with my mom. I looked forward to coming home from school and telling her about my day. She listened intently as I went into detail about boys I thought were cute and why my best friend was making me mad. She was my rock and in many ways I was hers. I felt that I couldn't make a decision without her by my side and always knew everything would be OK as long as she was in my life. And then... I went to college.
The struggle for independence
Before college, I never planned on pulling away from my parents. They were who I turned to for comfort and were always my best supporters. But once I arrived at KU, I felt needed to branch out and do things on my own. I wanted them in my life, but I needed room to grow as an adult.
Some of us struggle to gain independence from our parents when we first come to college. Whether it be doing our own laundryorpayingbills,wegradually become adults. Although learning to be independent is important, it often causes families distress when we return home during the school year.

WHEN I BEGAN TO WITHDRAW, MY MOM STARTED TO POP UP EVERYWHERE. SHE JOINED FACEBOOK, MYSPACE AND EVEN XANGA, OFTEN LEAVING MESSAGES FOR ME AND EVEN MY FRIENDS.
Bcausestudentsbecomemore responsible and self-sufficient while away at school, they are often faced with the challenge of re-introducing themselves to their parents when they arrive home, says Andrea Medea, author of Going Home without Going Crazy.The best way to do this is by showing your parents how you've matured.
"Be mindful not to fall back into old habits," Medea says. "When you do this, you'll have a harder time convincing your parents that you've grown up." Don't refuse to pick up your dirty clothes or address your parents in a whiney tone when they're upset with you. Doing this will only make your parents treat you like a 14-year-old, because these things are typical of a 14-year-old's behavior. Instead, address your parents in a deeper, more adult tone. This will surprise the parent and help them realize you've grown up and matured, Medea says.
Many arguments begin because the returning student feels he
must push away in order to prove his independence, often causing tension in the household. "It's a hard transition for families," says Jeff King, a marriage and family therapist in Lawrence. "Parents don't know if they still have authority or if they should act as their child's peer." This uncertainty can often create apprehension in the family.
Unwanted advice
The problems between my mom and I arose about a year after I moved out. I had recently begun dating a guy who lived in my dorm. Because I hadn't dated in the past, it was a new experience for both of us. For the first time in my life, I was experiencing something that I wanted to keep to myself. Almost immediately after discussing my new relationship with my mom, I started receiving several e-mails a day.
The subject lines included "making a relationship last" and "the fundamentals of dating," among other things. I knew she
was trying to be helpful, but it made me feel like I was being told what to do. I had turned to her in the past for advice, but in this situation, I really just wanted to figure out the relationship on my own. This was a very confusing time for her because, in the past, I had told her everything that was on my mind and all of a sudden I was more guarded.
Adjusting to new ways of communication can be difficult for both parents and their children. "It's a process of growing up and re-negotiating the most important relationships of your life," says Harriet Lerner, author of The Dance of Anger: A Women's Guide to Changing Patterns of Intimate Relationships. "When you go home, it's an anxious time. If your mother manages anxiety by giving advice, she will do it more."
Avoid distancing
I never knew how to handle the advice I received from my mom. Eventually, I stopped returning many of her phone calls and didn't reply to her e-mails. But isolating yourself from your parents only makes the problem worse." If your parents call 12 times a day, your tendency may be to distance,
which causes your parents anxiety." Lerner says. "If your parents are being intrusive, the challenge is to be clear about what is best for you without being emotionally distancing."
Instead of getting mad, Lerner suggests approaching the situation with humor. She recommends saying something like, "Mom, you're acting like the American Red Cross here. Do I look like I need rescuing?" After this is done, parents usually back off. It's a way to set personal boundaries.
Check in
When I went home for summer breaks, my parents usually wanted to know what time I would get back from a night out with my friends. When I was a child, I felt that it was all right for them to wait up for me and worry, but now that I was on my own, I felt these questions were unreasonable.
Andrea Crawford, Overland Park senior, had a similar experience. "I don't get a lot of independence when I go home," she says. "I can't really go out anywhere very late because my parents can't sleep until I get back." Parents want to know their child is safe, but the questions they asked when their
child still lived at home are no longer appropriate for a college student.
Lizzie Hartman, Shawnee freshman, has also experienced the shock of coming home and being re-introduced to curfews. At school, she could stay out as long as she wanted, but when she went home she was surprised that her parents got upset after she returned home a couple of hours later than she had told them she would. Fortunately, she's reached a compromise with her parents. "They get concerned that something has happened to me," Hartman says. "The rule now is I just have to call, say where I am, who I'm with and let them know I'm going to be late. I feel that if that's all I have to change, than I can deal with that."
Set boundaries
Besides wanting to know when you'll be home, parents often try to find out the basics of their child's life. Christina Gekas, Eden Prairie, Minn., senior, says she was often frustrated by her mom's attempts to find out about the boys in her life, even turning to her brother to find out more information.
Although it's good to keep

parents updated on some things in your life, it's also important to establish boundaries to your conversations. "One of the most important things to remember is not lash out at your parents because you're frustrated," Medea says. "In the end, lashing out only invites more unwelcome questions and therefore you don't get what you want." Instead, she suggests responding respectfully by saying that the question was too personal and decline to answer. "This causes parents to do a double take," Medea says. "It's a very adult thing to do."
Arguments are inevitable when families are adjusting to you being away from home. If an argument does happen, it's good to sit down with your parents and lay down some ground rules of what you will and will not talk about with them. If you prepare ahead of time, it decreases the possibility of your parents asking random questions, says Ed Bloch, a clinical social worker and therapist. Explain to your parents that although you still love them, you need to be able to build relationships with your peers because they are the ones who ultimately will support you while you're at school, he says.
In these situations, it's important to avoid coming off as critical, King says. If someone blames, criticizes or accuses their parents of doing something wrong, their parents get defensive and a fight begins. An alternative way to deal with the situation is to demand their respect but also remind them that you still need their input, King says. It's important to make sure they know you don't want to get rid of them.
It's hard for them, too
To avoid possible resentment from parents, keep in mind that they are having a difficult time as well. Susan Schwartz, Memphis, Tenn., junior, says that her dad often sends her a text message to see if she can talk. If she doesn't respond, he'll call and if she doesn't pick up, he sends another text message. Although she explains that sometimes she doesn't want to be disturbed, she says she realizes that her parents don't see her every day and have a right to worry. Offentimes when students feel hounded by their parents, they can become frustrated and avoid contact with their parents.
When I began to withdraw,
my mom started to pop up
Many families struggle to adjust when students return home. "It's a hard transition for families," says Jeff King, a marriage and family therapist in Lawrence. "Parents don't know if they still have authority or if they should act as their child's peer."
everywhere. She joined Facebook, MySpace and even Xanga, often leaving messages for me and even my friends. I began to feel digitally claustrophobic. I couldn't escape her presence and unfortunately, it made me avoid her even more than I had before.
It wasn't until a couple of months ago when I was talking to her on the phone that she said, "All I want is to feel like I'm part of your life, but you never call me anymore." Her words stung me because before I had felt that she was the problem. She was too intrusive. She was overbearing. But after she said those words, I realized that I had neglected her.
If you, like me, have been guilty of avoiding your parents when they begin to become more intrusive, there are some ways to reassure them that you still want them in your life. First of all, push them for time. This may seem crazy considering they already seem intrusive, but spending quality time alone with your parents can help give you some space. Medea
suggests taking mom out for breakfast or helping dad fix the car. During your time together you can tell them what's going on in your life while asking them questions as well. This not only eases their fears about what you're up to, but also shows them that you're mature enough to have adult conversations.
Gekas says that during her first years of college her mom expressed worry that their relationship was becoming more distant. At the time, Gekas was confused because they talked frequently. She says she realized later that her responses to her mom's questions were often one word and without substance."If there's not quality in your conversation, it's worthless," she says.Now she makes a point to expand upon her answers to create more meaningful conversation.
Parents want what's best for their children, often finding it hard to let go when they still question themselves on whether they did a good job raising us. They have

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 become accustomed to having control. The thought of losing that and allowing their children to run their own lives can leave them with fear for their child's future, King says.
"THERE'S A MYTH THAT WHEN YOU GO AWAY TO COLLEGE, YOU SHOULD SEPARATE FROM YOUR PARENTS AND THEY SHOULD 'LET GO.' " HARRIET LERNER
Pam Allen, a clinical social worker in Topeka, says that parents want so much for their child to do well that it sometimes hurts the relationship. "Parents struggle with trusting their children to make the right decision," she says. "Sometimes the fear can be so big that it puts a barrier in the relationship."
Besides worrying about you, parents also struggle to redefine their own place in the world after you move out." I got really depressed during this time," my mom told me. "All of a sudden I had all this extra time and no one to mother." It's very difficult to go through what King calls the "launching stage," the period when a young person gradually becomes more independent. "So far, they've been defined as being a parent," King says. "They experience a sense of loss. They need their kids to still need them."
Coming home is also stressful for parents because they know your visit is short-lived and you will leave again. To connect more with her mom while she's away at school, Gekas is trying
to teach her mom to use Gmail chat. That way they can talk more frequently and her mom won't feel as much distance between them, she says.
Learn to communicate
A leading mistake among families is their lack of communication. According to Bloch, families must put it out there that they are going through a difficult transition. "There is an expectation that it should be easy to handle," he says. "It's better to talk about your feelings than hide them."
A
Allen says it's important to recognize the time as an adjustment. The transition will not be smooth at all times, but not communicating and losing the relationship can only cause harm to the student involved. "If a young adult can maintain contact with their parents, they will most likely be more stable and grounded," she says. "On the other hand, if a student is cut off from their parents, they
can become more vulnerable to develop a problem with alcohol or drugs."
I've changed a lot of things in the past few months. Now when my mom calls, I call her back and make an attempt to ask her about her day. Although our relationship isn't perfect, (but whose is, right?) I realize now why it got to the point it did. We both made mistakes, but we'll overcome them because we love each other.
"There's a myth that when you go away to college, you should separate from your parents and they should 'let go,' Lerner says. "This notion is fairly unhealthy and inaccurate because if things go well, family is forever."

SERIAL SHOPPERS
HOW DO I AVOID SPENDING TOO MUCH?
Natalie Kelley, Wichita senior, says she uses "retail therapy" to distract her from stress.
PHOTO/AMANDA SELLERS
*Just don't go shopping. Try to avoid going to expensive places.Instead, shop somewhere cheap.* — Nick Bideler,
Fort Smith, Ariz., Junior
"I'm no saint when it comes to spending money, but in order to avoid overspending, check your finances online so that you can be aware of how much money you spend and how much money you have coming in the next few weeks. If your friend wants to go shopping, leave your money and credit cards at home!"
— Caitlin Feighny, Topeka senior
"If you randomly buy something and don't wear it within two weeks, return it because you obviously don't need it. Try to shop sales and avoid buying anything at full price."
— Natalie Kelley, Wichita senior
The highs and lows of compulsive consumption
by Jaime Netzer
When Caitlin Feighny wants to head downtown to go shopping, she has a sorority full of 80 girls she can invite along. Feighny goes clothes shopping about once a week and almost always asks if any of her sorority sisters want to join her on the way out the door. Usually they just browse, she says, but sometimes several of her friends will go shopping together with a specific purpose, like finding an outfit for an upcoming theme party. "If someone's birthday is coming up and we all want to look really good, we'll go together," Feighny says.
Feighny, Topeka senior, is not alone in her habitual attire-hunting habits. Women and men of all ages regularly use shopping as a form of entertainment, a platform for conversation and even a (relatively) inexpensive type of therapy.The Americaneconomy is fueled by consumption, and so, we consume. But while the purchases made in a retail store might be external goods, the allure of shopping is not just superficial. There are physiological reasons why shopping feels good — the catch is that the shopper's high, however sweet, is always short-lived.
The emotional high shoppers feel right before they purchase an item is actually a release of dopamine, the same chemical in the brain that makes an addict crave and anticipate a drug fix. Dopamine activity in the brain increases in anticipation of many different types of rewards, from gambling-related rewards to monetary and social rewards, says Dr. Susan Bookheimer, assistant professor of the Brain Mapping Division and Brain Research Institute at the University of California, Los
Angeles School of Medicine.
Unfortunately, after the initial excitement of an anticipated purchase fades, consuming can turn sour and shoppers may be left with buyer's remorse or a sadly skinny wallet.
Nick Bideler, Fort Smith, Ariz., junior, overspent earlier this month and says he already owns more jeans than he needs. By his own estimate, Bideler could avoid doing laundry for up to three weeks and not run out of jeans to wear.
Feighny, who works 15 hours a week and is taking 20 hours of classes this semester, says she rewards herself by shopping. "I don't have time to go see movies," she says, "so I take that $14 that I would have spent on two movies and spend it on something that will last me even longer."
Feighny says that she gets excited to open her closet and see a new top, but that her lift in mood is short-lived. "It's nice to get lots of compliments on something new," she says, "but ultimately I recognize that it's a superficial thing."
Some people do not share Feigfiny's rational take on shopping; as many as 15 percent of young Americans suffer from a psychological disorder called compulsive consumption, says Tim Kasser, associate professor of psychology at Knox College in Galesburg, Ill., and author of The High Price of Materialism. These people feel an overwhelming sense that they need to consume something, Kasser says, and end up shopping compulsively, not unlike a binge eater, to assuage stressful situations.
Even healthy people shop because it feels good. Shopping is an American pastime, Kasser says. He says that after 9/11, when George
W. Bush was asked what the average American could do to help, he responded with one simple command:"Shop."
Most people of Generation Y define themselves by the clothes they wear and the music they purchase, Kasser says. Clothes are one of the main ways by which we express our identities and are also our main avenue for attracting the sexual attention of our desired mates, he says.
Spending time developing relationships is one part of a set of values that Kasser says are ultimately more satisfying than materialistic endeavors. Kasser says that developing a sense of identity, nurturing relationships with friends and loved ones, and fostering a sense of community involvement through volunteering ultimately makes people happier than external endeavors like shopping.
Natalie Kelley,Wichita senior,says that her clothes are of a reflection of her personality and mood. Kelley, who works at Gap,736 Massachusetts St.,says she usually shops at least twice a week. Kelley and her closest friend shop together,and actually call each other and request "retail therapy"when they are stressed out or upset. But Kelley says she would usually rather spend her time doing more productive things like going to the gym or hanging out with her friends.
"There are studies that show that people who shop religiously are actually not happy people," Kasser says, "and there are also studies that show that people who volunteer regularly are the happiest of all."
Focusing on these intrinsic values, Kasser says, will create more satisfaction than a great sale every time.

GOING THE DISTANCE
Do you have what it takes to maintain a long-distance relationship?
by Nicole Korman
When a coupon comes in the mail — free chips and a drink, buy one get one free anything — what's the catch? To get a little you have to give a lot. You get ready to leave for college and you meet the man of your dreams. The catch? He goes to school 221 miles away.
Kim Calabrese, Tula, Okla, senior, has been in a long-distance relationship with Grant Parker, a senior at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Okla., for the past four years. The two began dating the summer before their freshman year of college, but didn't believe it would become a long-term relationship. Calabrese wasn't sure whether the relationship would work out because she hadn't built up enough trust in Parker and was only going to see him once every two months, she says. But a month into school, the two decided to give it a try.
Being "geographically challenged" is not exactly ideal
for a relationship, but millions of people live through it every day. The Center for the Study of Long Distance Relationships estimates that 7 million couples in the United States are in a long-distance relationship and about 78 percent of college students have been in one at some point during their time at school.
Not all students are capable of handling a long-distance relationship. It helps if you're an independent person who would spend a lot of time away from your partner if you were in the same city, says Caroline Tiger, author of The Long-Distance Relationship Guide: Advice for the Geographically Challenged.Long-distance relationships are more manageable in college because there is an end point — you will be together in the summer or after graduation, she says.
Being in college can also make long-distance relationships more difficult, "It's been the hardest thing I've ever had to do," Calabrese says. "It takes a
bigger chunk of your life than you think."
Communication, trust and being able to handle the distance are essential in making a long-distance relationship last.
Can you talk the talk?
Calabrese says that she and Parker talk at least two to three times a day depending on their schedules. Long-distance relationships often force couples to talk about feelings they might
Expressing your feelings is key in sustaining the relationship, but you have to learn how to talk to your partner. Because long-distance relationships lack face-to-face communication, many people search for interaction elsewhere. Some people may find a "stand in" boyfriend or girlfriend, often a close friend with whom they develop a relationship stronger than the one they have with their partner, Tiger says. To avoid this conflict, make sure you talk to your partner daily.
UNLESS YOU WEAR A SIGN AROUND YOUR NECK THAT SAYS "TAKEN," YOU'RE FAIR GAME TO ALL THE OTHER FISH IN SEA, AND IF YOU TEST THE WATERS, NO ONE WILL KNOW ABOUT IT BUT YOU.
not discuss otherwise and may strengthen the relationship, says Jeff King, a marriage and family therapist in Lawrence.
Calabrese says Parker has a tough time expressing his emotions over the phone, which strains their relationship. She advises couples to learn how to talk on the phone and express emotion through words. If you can't do that, a long-distance relationship might not be a good idea.
The oath of secrecv
Unless you wear a sign around your neck that says "taken," you're fair game to all the other fish in sea, and if you test the waters, no one will know about
it but you.
Stephanie Ferguson, Wichita junior, has been dating her boyfriend, Phil Witkek, a junior at Wichita State University, for two years. She says you really have to trust the other person, especially in college. Ferguson doesn't care if Witkek calls her from parties because she expects him to go out, but when she calls him, the tables turn. People are more likely to become jealous while in a long-distance relationship because of the lack of face-to-face contact, Tiger says. Jealousy can be avoided if you set the boundaries early on and make a pact to tell each other where you're going, she says.
Sometimes love just isn't enough to overcome the miles of highway that stand between you and your partner. When Parker told Calabrese he was going to stay at school for the summer, she told him it wouldn't work. "I didn't want to be pushy, but summer was our only time together, so I told him he had to
make a choice." she says.
Parker ultimately decided to spend the summer at home with Calabrese and they have been dating ever since.
Though her long-distance relationship has lasted, Calabrese says if she could do it all over again she would've gone through college without it. She says she feels lucky to have found someone she genuinely cares about, but wishes she would have met Parker after college, rather than before.
"Keep in mind that college is a playground and might not be the best time for a serious long-distance relationship."Tiger says. Going the distance is not for everyone — it takes a certain type of person to handle the tribulations of a long-distance relationship.
"The key for keeping them going," King says, "is learning and growing as a person independent of the relationship while exploring your lives together."

For some, a key to your place symbolizes a key to your heart. The huge ordeal probably isn't as much about having the key as it is about the fact that you won't let her have it. She probably feels you aren't totally letting her into your life.
So do some thinking — why don't want to let her in? Is it that you just don't want someone else having a key to your place or is it an emotional issue? Are you afraid of commitment? Why? Are you afraid of committing to her? Or maybe you just don't like giving out keys because you never get them back.

MY GIRLFRIEND WANTS TO HAVE A KEY TO MY PLACE, BUT I DON'T SEE WHY SHE NEEDS ONE. SHE TOLD ME IT'D BE A LOT EASIER THAT WAY, SINCE SHE SPENDS SO MUCH TIME AT MY PLACE AND SOME OF HER STUFF IS THERE, TOO. IS THIS REALLY THAT BIG OF A DEAL?
*Some restrictions apply
Explain that to her and tell her you aren't married and you like that you have your place and she has hers. You're together when you want to be and apart when you want to be. And this way you never have to worry about her trashing your place if you break up, or having to pay a locksmith to prevent that from happening. If she doesn't understand the terms or needs more than that, she's free to leave. And you can lock the door behind her.
MY BOYFRIEND AND I HAVE BEEN DATING FOR A FEW MONTHS AND WE RECENTLY DECIDED TO MOVE IN TOGETHER. OUR FRIENDS THINK IT'S A BAD IDEA. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
— CLAIRE, SOPHOMORE
If you have a place to go when this blows up in your face, then you're welcome to try it. I'm not saying this hasn't worked for some couple somewhere, but if you've only known him a few months, you should really spend more time getting to know him (from your separate places) before making such a huge step. If your relationship proves strong enough to stand the test of time and you reach a point when moving in together seems like the natural next step, then go for it. I'm of the opinion that living together before marriage often does more harm than good).
Enjoy the honeymoon stage while you can. Living apart allows you to get excited to see each other and think about each other when you're not together. And there are no financial issues or dirty dishes or laundry to wash.
It sounds like you're moving really fast, pun intended. I realize you might be crazy about each other right now, but remember that the flame that burns twice as brightly
burns half as long. Wait a little longer and you could set the house on fire (in the good way).

sport specs HORSESHOES
The sport: Called a traditional American pastime by the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association of America, horseshoes makes for an easy summer backyard game.
The gear: Horseshoes, two stakes and an even number of people with strong arms are all you need to get a game of horseshoes going. Sporting goods stores such as Dick's Sporting Goods, 15280 W. 119th St. in Olathe, carry horseshoe sets that include shoes and stakes starting at $19.99.
The rules: Set up stakes 40 feet apart. Designate a foul line (for women, the line is usually 27 feet from the stake; for men, the line is usually 37 feet from the stake). Then, split the players into two equal teams. Each team receives two horseshoes. Decide which team will throw first and have the first player from that team throw both shoes from the
designated foul line. Tally points from the first player's throw. If a shoe lands within six inches of .the stake or touches the stake, the team receives one point. If the shoe encircles, or "rings" the stake, the team receives three points. After the first team's player pitches the shoes, the first player from the opposing team throws from the same side. Alternate sides until every player has thrown. Play until one team reaches 40 points.
The Kansas connection:
The first horseshoe throwing tournament open to anyone in the world took place in Bronson, Kan., in 1910, according to the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association of America. Frank Johnson, Blue Mound resident, won the tournament and received a world championship belt
C
embellished with horseshoes. Jackson held onto the championship title until 1913, when Rosedale resident Robert Pierce claimed the championship. Jackson regained the title in 1914 and 1915 and no Kansas native has held the championship title since then. The current world champion is Alan Francis of Defiance, Ohio. Francis has held the title since 2003. The 2007 world tournament will take place in Ardmore, Okla., from July 23 to Aug. 4.

that's disgusting HOUSEFLIES
Summer barbeques usually include food friends and, unfortunately, the pesky presence of flies. These bountiful bugs bring dangerous and disgusting health conditions to the table.
Because they feast on animal waste and garbage, houseflies often carry
bacteria
Diarrhoe

that
fro
bacteria and viruses. Diarrhea, eye infections and food poisoning are a few examples of the illnesses that can be picked up from flies.
A study published in the June 2006 issue of Applied and Environmental Microbiology by
the department of entomology at Kansas State University found that certain houseflies deposit a type of bacteria resistant to antibiotics. Of the 260 houseflies gathered from five food-handling and serving facilities, 97 percent tested positive for Enterococcus faecalis, a bacteria responsible for many human infections and known for its resistance to antibiotics.
The number of effective antibiotics used against human infections continues to decline and bacteria and infectious diseases are now the third leading cause of death in the U.S, says Lilia Macovei, Kansas State research associate and author of the study.
So whether it's by swatting, sticky flypapers or bug sprays, find a way to keep the flies off your plate this summer.

MOVIE
MOTEL
VACANCY
The only Oscar-winning performance in Vacancy goes to that teenage couple sitting in the third row, who need to act frightened for an excuse to cuddle while the seats around them become the same as this film — vacant of anything redeemable.
Quarreling spouses David and Amy Fox (Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale) walk into a Bates Motell-inspired death trap where the quirky innkeeper (Frank Whaley) gets his kicks recording and then selling torture tapes starring his unfortunate guests. Their relationship rekindled in the face of danger,David and Amy agree to put past problems behind them and start anew - if they can survive.
★★
laughable: Wilson's character seemingly comes back to life, showing that this R-rated movie hasn't outgrown the self-limiting need for a happy ending.
Vacancy ranks right up with your typical cornball slasher flick in predictability, despite the fact that it avoids going overboard with gore. Director Nimrod Anal and writer Mark L Smith could
have learned a few things from Hitchcock about creating suspense by withholding motives until the end (pardon the gross understatement and ridiculous comparison). Instead, Vacancy reveals all its blah tricks in the first half hour, leaving a sedated audience lazily awaiting a twist that never comes. The only "surprise" is downright

HIDING DADDY
I tried to block the person I needed most
I've endured the stares, the comments and the surprised eyes when people see me with him. I've answered countless questions about what life is like with him. I did my best to hide him during my junior high and high school years. But for one important moment of my high school career, I wanted him to be there.
My father is 80 years old. Before I hit my teen years, the 59-year age gap didn't faze me
SPEAK
Kim Wallace poses with her parents, Kiu Loc and Daniel Wallace, after high school graduation ceremonies.
PHOTOS COURTESY OF KIM WALLACE
We'd eat ice cream at Braum's on lazy Sunday afternoons and stop at the gas station after school to buy candy. When people joked about their parents remembering when ice cream and candy cost a nickel, I never
thought twice about the fact that my dad really did remember when they cost a nickel. I never questioned when Dad drove his 1986 wood-paneled station wagon 25 mph on a 40 mph street. That was all I knew.
When I made it to junior high, the questions from friends and teachers started to bother me. "Why is your mom so young?" "Is that your grandpa?" Nobody seemed to understand that I was a product of the Vietnam War and I couldn't expect them to understand the circumstances of my parents' union. My mother was one of the 220,000 "war brides" who came to the United States after the war when Vietnam ended. My dad, an Army veteran, brought home a half-Chinese, half-Vietnamese wife and started a family of four children born between 1975 and 1985. Mama was 33 when she gave birth to me; Daddy was 59.
M.D. RHINO
by Kim Wallace
By age 14, I was becoming more insecure with my father's age. I made him drop me off in the back of the junior high so I
could avoid any other potential questions about him from friends. I made him pick me up at the grocery store across the street. Daddy figured this was a good way to avoid the traffic jams in front of school; I figured differently. For a while, this seemed to be a good tactic to avoid intimate questions about my dad's age.
Then, one day in junior high,
my best friend posed a burning
question:"What's going to
happen when you graduate?"
WHEN PEOPLE JOKED ABOUT THEIR PARENTS REMEMBERING WHEN ICE CREAM AND CANDY COST A NICKEL, I NEVER THOUGHT TWICE ABOUT THE FACT THAT MY DAD REALLY DID REMEMBER WHEN THEY COST A NICKEL.
Jessica's brown eyes locked with mine. I knew exactly what she meant. What if my dad didn't live to see me graduate from high school? It wasn't a completely unreal question. My dad was 73 and a two-
My father had certain expectations of me. Though my three brothers were active in sports when they were in school, I was the one who wasn't allowed to participate in anything my father deemed distracting to a girl's education. This ruled out choir, cheerleading and track. At that point in life, my relationship with my father became bitter and strained. I couldn't understand why I wasn't allowed to do these things. No
I broke down. Hot tears streamed down my cheeks. I feared that my father would not be at the stadium the night I would walk across the stage, donned in a baby blue cap and gown. It would be the night I lived for, because of the way my dad pushed me to excel in school. I didn't want all those years of hard work and discipline to go unseen by the man for whom I had tried to make myself perfect.
pack-a-day, non-filtered Pall Mall smoker for more than 60 years. He had a hacking cough and would choke for oxygen at times.
matter how many times I would bring home straight A's or how many complimentary notes my teachers would send home to my parents, nothing was good enough to make my dad loosen his grip on my education. I resented my father for treating me differently, yet I longed for his approval.
As high school came to an end, I pretended not to care that Daddy wasn't at the basketball court to see me crowned homecoming queen, or that he wasn't really involved in my prom. Those kinds of things, according to Daddy, weren't as important as me being an honor student and going to a good college. I tried not to let it bother me;
In high school, I didn't have to work as hard to hide my father. I got my own car my sophomore year and was freed from Daddy's snail-paced driving. I was so involved in the school newspaper that I dismissed the fact that my father's control over my extracurricular activities was what led to my interest in journalism. I knew my dad was proud of me for being a leader, though he never dared to compliment my efforts.
From the field, I scanned the bleachers to spot my family. My eyes quickly focused in on my father, hunched over in his seat reading the graduation pamphlet. I laughed to myself knowing that he was probably cursing the sticky Arkansas heat as he compared the other kids' scholarships and college decisions to his own daughter's achievements and school choice.
I figured if I traded off those milestones for the last hurrah of graduation night, things would be on my side.
I began my countdown to graduation. Daddy, 76 going on 77, was in for the home stretch. My brothers would chauffeur him to the event that four years earlier I had cried my eyes out thinking he wouldn't be alive to attend. The wood-paneled station wagon would stay home that evening. Graduation would be the night that made everything that was wrong with our relationship right.
After hours of waiting for the last section of the alphabet to rise for their diplomas, I felt tears form in my eyes once again.
"We made it" one friend said to me as we walked slowly to the platform that we would soon
CLASS OF 2004
Home of the Rebels
walk across."He made it,"is all I could think as I walked across the stage.
After accepting my diploma, I shot a glance up at my father. He was gazing proudly down on his last child and only daughter as she graduated from high school. My bitterness for him subsided, if only for the night.
I think back and commend my father's strength and will to stick it out with me, both mentally and physically, through high school. He quit smoking when I was a sophomore, when he began to feel himself slowing down. He put up with my rebellious attitude and overactive mouth when I was still figuring out who I was. We both took care of ourselves and matured gracefully enough to make it to graduation.
Kim Wallace's high school graduation announcement from Spring 2004.
I can't help but worry Daddy won't be there to watch me walk down the hill in May 2008. Every time I miss a call from home and Mom leaves a desperate voicemail to call her back, I prepare myself for the worst news. I've learned, though not to dwell on something I can't control.
Even though he may not be there to walk me down the aisle or see me become a mother, those were never the life priorities he instilled in me. He only cared that I would be able to take care of myself, for he knew that one day he would no longer be there to watch me with every milestone I passed in my life.

Off-campus bookstore will offer better prices
BY MATT ERICKSON
The new off-campus bookstore opening for the spring textbook buyback season will look markedly different from Lawrence's existing bookstores - it will sell nothing but textbooks.
Beat The Bookstore, at 12th and Indiana streets, next to Yello Sub, opens next week. It won't offer iPods, KU basketball T-shirts, or even pens and paper. And it will use a business model different from most college bookstores that its owners say will translate to lower prices and higher buyback offers.
The Lawrence franchise will be
"The business concept is buy books for more and sell them for less," said Dan Keating, the store's co-owner. "And we cater more to students."
More than 90 percent of the textbooks the store offers are used books. Comparatively, KU Bookstores, used inventory is 38 percent, which is still higher than the industry average.
"We offer the student the real
the 25th Beat The Bookstore location to open across the country. Each store uses the network of stores to its advantage.
David Monk, co-founder of Beat The Bookstore, said that bypassing wholesalers allowed Beat The Bookstore franchises to keep prices lower than other college bookstores, which must factor wholesaler mark-ups into their prices.
SEE BOOKSTORE ON PAGE 4A
Beat The Bookstore can mostly bypass the wholesalers that many college bookstores use to obtain used books, instead shipping used books between the company's different franchises around the country.
The wholesalers used by textbook stores such as KU Bookstores buy used books from bookstores and sell them to other stores at marked-up prices.
"The network of stores allows us to have our own virtual wholesale network." Keating said.

KU plays host to conference

BY DANAE DESHAZER
Forty-two brightly hand-painted red and blue pieces of steel lay ready for construction for the University of Kansas steel bridge. The project was for the American Society of Civil Engineers Mid-Continent Regional Conference on Thursday afternoon in Lawrence. The conference started Thursday and lasts until Saturday, with all Saturday events at Lone Star Lake.
Team co-captain Justin Clay, Kansas City, Kan., senior, said he was nervous and worried about their assembly, as he watched the team before them finish up.
"Ive seen how good the other bridges look and how fast they were assembled," Clay said.
Eleven university teams registered to participate in the Steel Bridge Competition, which is only one of the 10 categories of the Mid-Continent Conference. The Mid-Continent Conference was held in Lawrence this year, the first time in about 10 years.
For the Steel Bridge Competition, each team is allowed one hour to assemble their designed steel bridge over a "river." However, after 30 minutes they are penalized. The

BY NATHAN GILL
The organizations sent The University Daily Kansan a copy of the letter by e-mail.
Eight graduate student organizations at the University of Kansas sent a letter to Provost Richard Lariviere on Wednesday, expressing discontent about the loss of voting privileges on committees that hire new faculty to the University.
The organizations' letter asked Lariviere to reinstate the graduate voting practice.
Lynn Bretz, University spokeswoman, said that before Fall 2006, some academic schools and departments let graduate students vote, along with faculty, to recommend prospective faculty to academic administrators. She said that early last fall, Lariviere, who was concerned that the University's academic departments did not have a unified hiring system, met with University officials and decided that graduate students should not vote to recommend new faculty.
Erin Questad, Lansdale, Penn., graduate student and president of the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Graduate Student Organization, signed the letter. She said that graduate students offered a valuable perspective to the hiring process. Some graduate students seemed disenfranchised and less involved since losing the vote, she said.
Lariviere was unavailable for comment, but Bretz said his decision
"It is something that is really important to graduate students," Questad said. "We serve the University in so many different ways, and we don't always get respected like wed like to be"

Brandon Rush to make decision over weekend
Sophomore guard Brandon Rush is expected to announce whether he will return to Kansas for his junior season by Sunday.
The deadline for Rush to declare for the NBA Draft is midnight Sunday. Even if Rush declares for the draft, he could withdraw his name by June 18 and return to Kansas, as long as he doesn't hire an agent. Rush has previously said he would enter his name if he was guaranteed to be selected among the top 20 picks. See kansan. com throughout the weekend for updates on this story.

in this photo provided by Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, three 11-week-old male cougar cubs are shown together during their debut at the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom on Thursday in Vallejo, Calif. The trio made one of their first forays out of the parks nursery where the siblings are being hand-reared. The orphaned cougar cubs, named Ashkii, Takada and Yazhi, were acquired from Idaho Fish & Game in March after it was determined they could not be returned to the wild.

Only baseball misses academic goal
BY KYLE CARTER
The NCAA recognized both the men's and women's cross country teams as well as the men's golf team for exceptional performance in the academic progress report released Thursday by the Athletics Department. The baseball team was the only varsity sport that failed to meet the yearly goal.
The NCAA recognized teams that scored in the top 10 percent of their sports within their division. The three teams at the University that received recognition, women's and men's cross country and men's golf, placed the University in the top three of the Big 12.
Each sport was given an individual score based on how many athletes maintained
The NCAA will release a related report on May 2 that will reprimand schools that failed to score at least 900 during the last three years. The baseball team's three-year average
tors caused the team to lose a partial scholarship. Associate Athletics Director Paul Buskirk said that the Athletics Department appealed the ruling and could have avoided the punishment if the team improved its score sufficiently this year. It did not, but Buskirk said the team had already taken away the partial scholarship for this season because it anticipated missing the mark.
Three teams at the University of Kansas that received recognition, women's and men's cross country and men's golf placed the University in the top three of the Big 12.
Sports that averaged less than 900 for the last three years will receive public reprimands from the NCAA and face losing more scholarships, along with practice time and the right to play in the postseason, if their scores do not improve in future years.
academic eligibility and stayed in school If every athlete on the team met both requirements, the team received a perfect score of 1000. Sports that scored less than 925 for the year could lose scholarships if any athletes left school in poor academic standing.
The baseball team failed to score 925 in last year's report and had an athlete who left the team in poor academic standing. Those two fac-
was only two points greater than the cutoff.
Athletes that leave school early to play professional sports, such as Julian Wright, do not hurt the team's score if they leave in good academic standing. Buskirk se
the NCAA made an exception for athletes that left for medical reasons or,o pursue professional careers.
Wright can help the team's progress rate if he finishes his degree in the future, as former jayhawk Kirk Hinrich did when he graduated in December 2005. Buskirk said former players Alonzo Jamison (1990-1992) and Luke Axtell are scheduled to graduate this year, which will benefit the basketball team in next year's report.

Plates to raise money for cure
>> CANCER FUNDRAISER
BY DANAE DESHAZER
A license plate designed by KU professor Greg Thomas will be available for purchase by this fall. The plates, adorned with a pink breast cancer ribbon and the words "Driven to Cure," will raise money for cancer research and education.
A Senate bill for the license plate design was created by Sen. Barbara Allen, a breast cancer survivor. The bill was passed and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius will sign the bill Friday morning in Topeka. The plates will be sold for $85, and $50 from each plate will be donated to the KU Cancer Center.
Thomas, professor and chair of design, said the plates were a "call to action". He said he first started thinking about helping others with cancer after he had an operation for kidney cancer in 2000.
"When you're sitting in a bed in an ICU ward and you're all stapled up, you keep thinking to yourself, 'What have I been doing with my talent all these years?' " Thomas said. "I am going to do something

Director of the KU Cancer Center, Roy Jensen, said cancer research in Kansas did not have one central
"It doesn't end with the signing. We need to sell these things and get people interested in buying this."
Thomas started working with Sen. Allen, who had already worked on a bill that allowed taxpayers in Kansas to check a box on tax return forms, to donate a percentage of their funds to cancer research.

"Potentially, some cancer biologists would locate specifically on West
Campus"Jensen said."There is a goal that would create a comprehensive cancer facility with basic translational and clinical research and care all in one."
Jensen said he wanted to reach the entire state in one direct way. This would take funding from the license plates for research nurses
and staff to support breast cancer clinical trials. Jensen said he hoped for success like that of the University specialty plates. He said KU and Kansas State plates have raised several hundred thousand dollars during the past five to 10 years.
Although everything will be ready to go after the signing of the bill today, Thomas said there was still a lot of work to be done. For production to start, the KU Cancer Center must raise $10,000 for the Kansas Department of Motor Vehicles and guarantee the sale of at least 500 plates. Thomas said he would be working on private donations, a fundraiser, brochures and marketing material to generate interest and funding.
"It doesn't end with the signing," Thomas said. "We need to sell these things and get people interested in buying this."

POLICE
Officer charged with criminal sexual conduct
BY COREY WILLIAMS ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — A police sergeant is accused of pulling couples over with his cruiser and forcing them to engage in sex acts while he watched, threatening them with penalties if they refused.
Detroit Sgt. Roosevelt Tidwell, 39, pleaded not guilty Thursday and has been suspended from his job with pay.
A 21-year-old Detroit woman told investigators that she and a male friend were driving through
Chandler Park early on Feb. 7 when a Detroit police officer pulled them over.
The officer took their identification and got in the back seat of her car, then told the male friend to perform a sex act on the woman, according to court records. He threatened them with a a $500 ticket if they didn't, according to court records.
The woman said the officer also fondled her breast and forced her to fondle him. The officer then told her to get out of the car and demanded her cell phone number.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said Tidwell later called the woman several times. The woman secretly taped at least one call and gave the tape to investigators.
Tidwell confronted two other women and two men early April 14, Worth said.
They told investigators the officer pulled up to their vehicle in a police car, took their identification and told them they could go to jail or perform sex acts while he watched.
The women were told to perform sex acts on the two men, and one
couple was forced to have inter-
course, according to court records.
The victims said that the officer shone his flashlight on them and that they saw him masturbating. When a second patrol car approached, they said, the officer told them to stop and "be cool" before waving the other patrol car away.
A magistrate entered the not guilty plea to charges including five counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Tidwell is being held in the Wayne County jail in lieu of $1 million bail.

The fully constructed University of Kansas bridge is judged after its completion Thursday afternoon. Eleven universities participated in the Steel Bridge competition as part of the Society of Civil Engineers Mid-Continent Regional Conference.
BRIDGE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)

bridges, once assembled, are judged on display, construction speed, lightness, stiffness, efficiency and overall performance.
During the judging for KU's steel bridge, the infrastructure collapsed. Josh Crain, Overland Park junior and team co-captain, said the company who made the red box trusses that lined the base structure did not weld them correctly.
A total
of 2,500 pounds is used in the weight judging. When the load got to 1,250 pounds, the welding went out.
"It was really disappointing," Crain said. "But there is a momentum going into next year to help the program grow."
The collapsed did not disqualify the team, but did heavily penalize
Crain said the team was young and had a lot of room for improvement. He said the University's program was different than others, because it was all voluntary and an out-of-class commitment. He said Kansas State University's program got credit through a mandatory class, making it easier for people to get involved.
their overall score, ranking the team in the bottom half, Crain said.
Clay said that last year the KU team was disqualified for a similar problem. After weight had been placed on the structure, it deflected an inch — which was the disqualification length.
The KU team of about 20 engineering students has been prepared
CAAE
ing since September, when they started designing the structure. Joe Pattison, Overland Park junior, said the team looked at what other successful teams had done to create its own original design.
Anna Faltermeier/KANSAN
After creating a design the team liked, the design was sent to Builder's Steel Co. in North Kansas City, Mo., to create the steel pieces. Only six members of the KU team actually constructed the bridge. The team worked to weld and create holes in the pieces to lessen the weight.
Pattison, a first-year member, said he was impressed with Kansas State University's assembly.
Justin Clay, Kansas City, Kan., senior, looks over at teammate Paul Cross work while holding up part of the University of Kansas' bridge. Claver was captain of the KU Steel Bridge team this semester.
"K-State looked like they didn't even use nuts and bolts," Pattison said. "Everything just clicked into place. It only took them about six minutes."
Pattison said there were many intricate rules while constructing the bridge, including dropping anything in the "river" and the way it's assembled. Pattison said the team needed tall members to reach across the "river" and attach the pieces together. The KU bridge was
constructed in 24 minutes.
Other members of the KU chapter of ASCE took positions as conference chairs and coordinators. Kris Finger, Lawrence junior, is the fundraising chair for ASCE, and decided to be a conference chair. He brought back the concrete bowling ball competition. He is one of the four individual competitors, who will create a concrete bowling ball and have it judged on appearance, shape, and ability to roll down a lane.
Theresa Rohlfs, Topeka senior, chose to be the Steel Bridge competition chair. She said she had been working to prepare for the competition since last Spring. "It's great to see it all come together," Rohlfs said. "For a few moments, you kind of wonder if it's all going to come together. And now it's finally happening."

"It's a provost's prerogative to make that decision and he did," Bretz said. "It was done in full debate and with a lot of discussion."
"I think delivery is mainly for pizzas and Chinese food," Zuniga said.
Kansan staff writer Nathan Gill can be contacted at ngill@kansan. com.
Bretz said that the current interpretation of the University's code was that graduate students could vote on policy issues within their departments, but not on personnel issues, which include hiring, promoting or giving tenure to faculty. She said that last fall's change, which made the hiring process more uniform across the University, helped promote fairness in the hiring process. She also said it protected the University from potential lawsuits
"Faculty vote on faculty,"Bretz said. "It would not be appropriate for graduate students to vote on faculty."
Bretz also said that since faculty advise and grade graduate students,
He said he couldn't make enough money from burrito delivery orders to justify the overhead costs of hiring delivery drivers and buying insurance.
some students might feel pressure to please existing faculty by voting for some hires over others.
Bretz said that in many academic departments, undergraduate and graduate students were involved in recommending faculty hires — but not voting. She said that such students were involved in the recommendation process by listening to presentations made by potential hires and by giving their opinions to voting faculty.
"That doesn't mean that a student's opinion wouldn't be influential." Bretz said of last fall's change. "Student input is part of that process, and it's important."
Emmons said that cooperation with The Crossing had helped spread word about Big 12 Burrito. He said word of mouth about the restaurant had spread so fast that several people, unaware that the restaurant was only open until midnight, left phone messages after it closed Saturday night pleading for burrito deliveries.
He said Big 12 Burrito and The Crossing would offer joint promotions when the fall semester started.

Zuniga said Big 12 Burrito could find success, but he said no burrito business in Lawrence would be able to make a fortune. He said he had seen several Lawrence burrito restaurants close since Burrito King opened 12 years ago.

World's oldest college student ready to graduate at 95
BY CARL MANNING ASSOCIATED PRESS
HAYS — Sitting on the front row in her college classes carefully taking notes, Nola Ochs is more likely to answer questions than ask them.
That's not the only thing distinguishing her from fellow students at Fort Hays State University. She's 95, and when she graduates May 12, she'll be the world's oldest college graduate.
She didn't plan it that way. She just loved to learn as a teenager on a Hodgeman County farm - and as a teacher at a one-room school on the plains after graduating from high school, then as a farm wife and mother.
"That yearning for study was still there. I came here with no thought of it being an unusual thing at all," she said. "It was something I wanted to do. It gave me a feeling of satisfaction. I like to study and learn."
The record Ochs will break, according to Guinness World Records, belongs to Mozelle Richardson, who at age 90 in 2004 received a journalism degree from the University of Oklahoma.
"We should all be so lucky and do such amazing things. Her achievement challenges us all to reach for our own goals and dreams," said Tom Nelson, AARP chief operating officer in Washington.
She's getting offers for television appearances, and reporters show up wanting to interview her. She acknowledges enjoying it.
"It brings attention to this college and this part of the state. Good people live here," she said. "And I still wear the same size hat."
But she added: "I don't dwell on my age. It might limit what I can do. As long as I have my mind and health, it's just a number."
On Thursday, the Kansas Legislature honored Ochs, with the House and Senate praising her efforts and giving her standing ovations.
Ochs is proudest of being the matriarch of a family that includes three sons — a fourth died in 1995
— along with 13 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.
"They're all such fine boys," she said. "Our main crop is our children, and the farm is a good place to raise them."
Ochs started taking classes at
Dodge City Community College after her husband of 39 years, Vernon, died in 1972. A class here and there over the years, and she was close to having enough hours for an undergraduate degree.
Last fall, Ochs moved the 100 miles from her farm southwest of Jetmote to an apartment on campus to complete the final 30 hours to get a general studies degree with an emphasis on history.
At 5-foot-2, her white hair pulled into a bun, she walks purposely down hallways to classes with her books in a cloth tote bag. Students nod and smile; she's described as witty, charming and down to earth.
"Everybody has accepted me, and I feel just like another student" she said. "The students respect me."
Coming out of a classroom, Skyla Foster, a junior majoring in history, sees Ochs and calls out to her. To everyone on campus, she's "Nola," not Mrs. Ochs — and that's the way she wants it.
"She is pretty neat, a very interesting person and very knowledgeable," Foster said.

Pet food manufacturer sues provider for contamination
BY JOHN HANNA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA - A pet food manufacturer that recalled 60 million cans of its products last month has sued another company, alleging that an ingredient the second firm supplied was contaminated.
Menu Foods Midwest Corp., based in Emporia, is seeking damages "substantially in excess of $75,000" and wants to force ChemNutra Inc., of Las Vegas, to pay costs associated with the recall of dog and cat food.
Wheat gluten sold to Menu Foods by ChemNutra contained melamine, a chemical found in plastics and pesticides and not approved for use in U.S. pet food by the Food and Drug Administration, according to the lawsuit.
Menu Foods filed its lawsuit Monday in Lyon County District Court, based in Emporia, about 50 miles south of Topeka.
"ChemNutra represented itself to Menu Foods and the North American food market as a business that imports high-quality nutritional and pharmaceutical ingredients
from China to the United States,"the lawsuit said.
Menu Foods recalled its products after 16 pets, mostly cats, died from eating contaminated food. Other manufacturers also recalled animal food; Menu Foods said it now faces more than 50 lawsuits.
But ChemNutra said a Chinese supplier is responsible for its shipments of contaminated wheat gluten. In a statement posted on the company's Web site, chief executive officer Steve Miller said a Chinese company was recommended to ChemNutra by a "reliable source" and provided
apparent proof that its wheat gluten was safe.
"We are concerned that we may have been the victim of deliberate and mercenary contamination," Miller said in the statement.
An attorney for Menu Foods in Kansas City, Mo., was not available and did not immediately return a message left at his office. A spokesman for ChemNutra said he was reviewing the lawsuit and planned to respond later Thursday.
ChemNutra is the only defendant in the lawsuit. Suing it were Menu Foods Midwest Corp., and three
other affiliated firms, Menu Foods Limited, Menu Foods Holdings Inc. and Menu Foods Inc.
The lawsuit said most of the wheat gluten from ChemNutra went to a Menu Foods plant in Emporia. Wheat gluten is a vegetable protein, and Menu Foods used it in "cuts and gravy" pet foods.
The lawsuit accuses ChemNutra of breach of contract and breach of implied warranties about the safety of the wheat gluten and its fitness for use in pet food. It said each shipment of wheat gluten came with a certificate saying it met Menu Foods'
requirements.
"ChemNutra knew that Menu Foods was relying on ChemNutra's skill and judgment to supply high-quality wheat gluten," the lawsuit said.
In his statement, Miller said ChemNutra didn't know melamine was an issue in its wheat gluten until notified by the FDA, two weeks after Menu Foods initiated its first recall.
"In fact, we had never heard of melamine before," he said. "It's simply not a chemical on the radar screen for food ingredient suppliers."

Gere takes P.D.A. too far
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW DELHI — A court issued arrest warrants for Hollywood actor Richard Gere and Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty on Thursday, saying their kiss at a public function "transgressed all limits of vulgarity," media reports said.
Judge Dinesh Gupta issued the warrants in the northwestern city of Jaipur after a local citizen filed a complaint charging that the public display of affection offended local sensibilities, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.
Gupta earlier viewed television footage of the event, which he called "highly sexually erotic," saying the pair violated India's strict public obscenity laws.
Gere and Shetty "transgressed all limits of vulgarity and have the tendency to corrupt the society," PTI quoted the judge as saying.
Such cases against celebrities often filed by publicity seekers are common in conservative India.

COMMENTARY
Small hometowns yield great students
I am from a small farm town in south central Kansas that could hardly fill Budig 110. There were 27 people in my graduating class. About a half of them went to college and the rest of stayed in Norwich to take over their families' farms. My high school offered no AP credits. I had the same teacher for English, math, social science and science all four years of high school.
Because of this I grew up thinking that I lacked the proper education and knowledge to make it at a big-time university.
But as I end my sophomore year at the University of Kansas, I now know that my small town taught me more than I realized.
Norwich taught me to be friendly and polite. Not everyone here is a snob or cold-hearted, but back home everyone waves or smiles as you drive by. People stop to ask how you are doing or how your family
is. Here people do not seem to be as sincere and people rarely smile as you pass them on the sidewalk.
I also learned how to have fun doing nothing. Norwich does not have a Wal-Mart or even a
M. Donalds. We don't have a stop light, most of our city roads are dirt and we lost our post office and grocery store. The lack of entertainment forced my friends and me to find a way to have fun doing nothing and to appreciate the things we did have.
learned how to connect with people in a time when technology puts up barriers between true connections. As corny as it sounds, we learned to appreciate things like friends and family.
In Norwich, you cannot skip classes and you cannot turn in assignments late.
We would drive up to the Farmer's Co-op, the tallest structure in town, where wheat is weighed, and weigh our cars. We would sit around a field watching stars and talk about our hopes and fears. We
My high school also gave me an excellent education. Although from my description it may seem below average, my teachers
taught important values. My largest class had 25 students, but most averaged about 10. Small numbers allowed teachers to pay close attention to each one of us and it allowed me to speak my mind. It's intimidating to raise your hand in Budig 120 but in a class of 10 you don't even need to raise your hand — you just participate.
In Norwich, you cannot skip classes and you cannot turn in assignments late. If you do, your teacher will ask you, your sister whom they teach later in the day or your best friend where you are or why you're slacking. This close inspection taught me to be responsible. I got into the habit of turning in my assignments on time and attending class regularly.
So before "cultured" people make a wise crack about how small town kids "don't know anything" think about how our backgrounds have taught us to be hard-working, friendly and responsible. We may not have grown up with the best of everything, but we grew up appreciating what we have.

Archbishop abuses power with remark
On Monday a high-ranking Vatican official denounced gay marriage. No shock there. What was unsettling was that he likened gay marriage to "terrorism with a human face." Now Archbishop Angelo Amato either has a horrendous speech writer, or he's making one of the more asinine comparisons ever to be spread by the media.
Amato loses his point when likening
suicide bombers and hateful killers. The comparison is so outrageous and blatantly stupid that Amatto's insult backfires with more firepower that he had originally placed in that statement.
Amato loses his point when likening two people in love to suicide bombers and hateful killers.
already. Religion has the power to unify just as easily as it does to divide.
With all the tragedies occurring in today's world, perhaps Amato should focus on a more unifying and positive sacrament that the world should attempt to strive for. Surely the principles behind the Sacrament of Penance can apply to everyone. There isn't enough self-realization, reconciliation and attention
Yes, marriage is one of the seven sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church. However, divorce violates the "lifelong" element of what defines a marriage. Yet Amato isn't calling divorced Catholics terrorists. Amato and the Catholic Church don't have to embrace gay marriage. As a senior official in one of the world's largest — and oldest — religious institutions, Amato is in a tremendous position to do good, inspire people and spread charity. So it is immature and wrong to pick a fight about gay marriage as a vehicle of fear and hate when the world is overflowing with these things
to those that need

our help. What a wonderful expression of religion it would be if Amato rallied any willing and able-bodied person to throw themselves into reconciliation with others and repent selfishness
Church should be a place where people seek solace, learn how to help themselves and love each other. Lowly, divisive tactics and messages of hate are better served for the Jerry Springer show. All churches and places of worship have some uplifting messages to spread to the masses.
Hopefully comments like Amato's don't overpower all the good religion can do.

》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Sex toys can't truly satisfy
The April 25 story about sex toys prompted me to think not so much about sex but about the way we use words. What seems to be simple reporting of facts often contains implicit messages about what we value. The use of the word 'empowerment' in the article sends the message that selling sex toys is some kind of philanthropy.
Didn't the word 'empowerment' used to describe causes such as women's suffrage or civil rights? Pursuits that promote the good of the whole human person?
It's no secret that humans, along with all animals, can experience pleasure in sexual stimulation. But as humans we
want more than self-serving pleasure; we want love and a purpose in life.
Without a purpose, we get bored and try to distract ourselves with more and more types of pleasures — but does our fulfillment in life really increase with the number of sexual positions we are capable of? Sex has lost its purpose when it is not a gift of self, a sign of love for another person in a relationship. If we look beyond self-serving pleasure for a moment to as about the purpose of our lives, maybe we'll finally get some satisfaction.

Astrophysicist floats free in zero-g
BIO G
Peter Cosgrove/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking is assisted off the tarmac at the Kennedy Space Center by his caregiver, Monica Guy, as he is applauded by members of the flight crew after completing a zero-gravity flight on Thursday in Cape Canaveral, Fla. Free of his wheelchair and tethered only to heart rate and blood pressure monitors, Hawking on Thursday fulfilled a dream of floating weightless on a zero-gravity jet, a step he hopes leads to further space adventures.
BY MIKE SCHNEIDER ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla. Free of his wheelchair and tethered only to heart rate and blood pressure monitors, astrophysicist Stephen Hawking on Thursday fulfilled a dream of floating weightless on a zero-gravity jet, a step he hopes leads to further space adventures.
The modified jet carrying Hawking, a handful of his physicians and nurses, and dozens of others first flew up to 24,000 feet over the Atlantic Ocean off Florida. Nurses lifted Hawking and carried him to the front of the jet, where they placed him on his back atop a special foam pillow.
The jet then climbed to around 32,000 feet and made a parabolic dive back to 24,000 feet, allowing Hawking and the other passengers to experience weightlessness for about 25 seconds.
Hawking, a mathematics professor at the University of Cambridge who has done groundbreaking work on black holes and the origins of the universe, has the paralyzing disease ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
The 65-year-old was the first person with a disability to experience the flight by Zero Gravity Corp., which has flown about 2,700 people out of Florida since late 2004 and began offering the flights in Las Vegas this week.
"As you can imagine, I'm very excited," Hawking told reporters before the flight. "I have been wheelchair bound for almost four decades. The chance to float free in zero-g was wonderful."
Unable to talk or move his hands and legs, Hawking can only make tiny facial expressions using the muscles around his eyes, eyebrows, cheek and mouth. He uses a computer attached to his wheelchair to talk for him in a synthesized voice by choosing words on a computer screen through an infrared sensor on a headpiece that detects motion in his cheek.
He raises an eyebrow to signal "yes" and tenses his mouth to the side to indicate "no"
"I want to demonstrate to the public that anybody can participate in this type of weight-
Hawking's personal physicians were on hand to make sure nothing went wrong. The physicist was attached to heart, blood pressure and oxygen-measuring monitors during the flight. Medical equipment sufficient for a min-intensive care unit also was on
board, said Dr. Edwin Chilvers,
Hawking's personal physician.
"I'm anticipating everything to nothing," Chilvers said before the flight.
Others on the flight included financial backers of Zero Gravity and passengers who bid a total of $150,000 toward charities to go on the flight.

"The reason for the veto was insignificant to the important part of the bill of statewide licenses being administered only by the attorney general," said Journey, R-Haysville. "The cities obviously exceeded the original intent of the law. It's easier to clarify the law than have a test case in court."
The bill also would require information — including date of birth, gender and race — be "immediately forwarded" to the FBI when a court finds a person be a danger to themselves or others. It also would prohibit the issuing of permits to those convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.
When she vetoed the bill April 13, Sebelius said she felt it posed "new threats to public safety." The bill removed by the Senate were seen by local officials as necessary if they were to keep hidden guns out of zoos, festivals and other open-air events. Some legislators said the provisions were vague enough that their interpretation could vary from city to city. The veto was supported by the League of Kansas Municipalities, which said the bill would prevent local governments from keeping concealed guns not only out of open-air events but out of private businesses as well.

House turns down second Sebelius veto
If the Senate does override, it will be second time in two years a veto by the Democratic gov-
TOPEKA — Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' veto of a bill preventing local governments from imposing additional restrictions on Kansas carrying concealed guns was overridden Thursday in the House, but she will have to wait to see whether the Senate follows suit.
Last year, the Legislature overturned her veto of the bill allowing law-
error has been overridden by the Republica-controlled Legislature, each time over legislation dealing with concealed guns.
The 98-26 vote — 14 more than the two-thirds majority required — was the first step toward handing Sebelius her second veto defeat.
The Senate had planned to take up the override effort later Thursday, but postponed action because a senator who supports it was absent. The chamber passed the bill 29-11 and it takes 27 votes to override and allow the bill to become law.
"It's not a real surprise," Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran said of the House vote.
abiding Kansans who meet state requirements to get a four-year permit to carry a concealed gun. Since January, the attorney general's office has issued some 6,500 permits.
Sen. Phil Journey, who plans to make the override motion, said there are more than enough votes to nullify the veto.
"The message to the governor and the people is that elected officials in the House support the Second Amendment."
governor said she didn't oppose an attempt to make concealed gun rules consistent statewide but the bill became flawed when the Senate reworked it.
Ruff called the governor's decision "an unfortunate turn of 'events'," adding she agrees with Sebelius on 98 percent of her positions.
Rep. L. Candy Ruff, who helped lead to override effort, called the vote margin "encouraged."
Speaker Melvin Neufeld, R-Ingalls said the vote was about what he expected.
MELVIN NEUFELD R-Ingalls
"The message to the governor and the people is that elected officials in the House support the Second Amendment and people's rights under it," he said. "The governor never supported the Second Amendment. It's not a surprise she didn't this time."
"It shows a determination by the House to have concealed carry consistently applied," said Ruff, D-Leaventworth. "We occupy the field of concealed carry, period."
The bill was a reaction to efforts by some cities, especially in Johnson County, to impose their own requirements.
Supporters say the state should set the requirements for concealed guns
so they will be uniform statewide, avoiding the possibility of someone unknowingly violating some local concealed gun ordinance that goes beyond state law.
Sebelius said she believes the bill took too much power away from local governments to regulate concealed guns, especially at outdoor events and locations such as parks.

Last-ranked Kansas needs weekend win
BY ALISSA BAUER
While Kansas sat in the rain waiting to start play against border rival Missouri on Wednesday, Oklahoma was watching it pour for the second consecutive night in Texas before its scheduled game against Texas Arlington.
The fact that both games were eventually called off could prove quite beneficial for the layhawks, (20-25, 6-12 Big 12 Conference) who enter this weekend's series against
the sooners (27-15, 7-8) needing a series victory
RAIN
With neither team playing since last week end, Kansas won't be denied the upper hand by canceling its second midweek game in three weeks.
The Jayhawks are hoping cancellations have the same effect on Oklahoma.
Though they've won just two of their last five, the Sooners took the series victory from Kansas State last weekend. After dropping the first game to the Wildcats, the Sooners scored 32 runs, taking the series.
"Our first four weeks we swung the bats really well,but we didn't pitch that well.Now we're getting the pitching."
The last time Kansas took on Oklahoma, the Jayhawks rolled over them, 7-2, during their tear through the Big 12 Tournament in Oklahoma City last May.
RITCH PRICE Coach
Price noticed that on Friday nights after his team didn't play, his guys had trouble at the plate in the opening game of the series.
"It makes it tough," coach Ritch Price said about continuously missing midweek contests. "One of the things that happens in midweek games is keeping your batters up with velocity. You play those midweek games to stav weekend-ready."
Kansas isn't nearly that hot this time around, but the team refuses to stay down. They've gone 1-4 in their last five games, but still earned a victory against Texas Tech in their last game, avoiding the series sweep.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Despite 12 conference losses and holding down the last place spot, the Jayhawks have not been swept in a Big 12 series this year.
Kansas will face the Sooners this weekend after its midweek game was rained out. Last time Kansas faced Oklahoma, the Jayhawks won 7-2 in last season's Big 12 Tournament.
"They've done a really nice job." Price said of his guys staying level headed during the rough stretch.

Second no-draft year shows poor coaching

KANSAN COLUMNIST

It looks like Kansas will go another year without having a player drafted in the NFL draft. Yes, Jon Cornish might get selected in a late round (sixth or seventh), but it's not likely. It might benefit Cornish to slip through the cracks, so he can sign as an undrafted free agent with whichever team wants him.
Last year, Charles Gordon and Charlton Keith went undrafted
and both are currently on NFL rosters; Gordon is with the Minnesota Vikings and Keith recently signed with the Oakland Raiders. But, if Kansas goes
coach Mark Mangino's recruiting classes? He'll get a few good, but never great, players.
Mangino has done a good job of finding diamond-in-the-rough players such as Gordon and cornerback Aqib Talib, but he hasn't brought in high-profile recruits that would turn KU into an elite program. Entering year six of the Mangino era, it doesn't seem likely he will, either. But, this wouldn't have been a problem if a coaching change had been made when it should have — back in 2004.
This isn't a knock on Cornish. He was the best player on the team last season and he deserves a lot of credit. But it's hard to project him as a lock to play in the NFL. Cornish ran the 40-yard dash in 4.62 at the Scouting Combine and 4.51 at the Pro Day at Kansas. To cut it at the NFL as a special teams player, which is Cornish's best shot, he needs to improve his speed. Experts have Cornish as a guy that is good, but not great, at a lot of things.

Mangtno kept his job after a 4-7
season. The "best" 4-7 season in Kansas football history was what some fans called it. People were ecstatic that the Jayhawks were somewhat competitive and lost football games by one touchdown instead of three touchdowns like they were accustomed to in the Terry Allen era. Mangino got the pass because he took the team to a bowl game the year before, too. But this was the year Kansas could have brought in a well-respected coach and good recruiter — such as Zook.

Tiebreaker decides first-round outcome

BY RUSTIN DODD
Avdeeva and sophomore Edina Horvath got the better of Baker and Irina Lykin in the No. 1 doubles match, winning 9-8 (5). But with the team score knotted up at 3-3, Avdeeva and Baker again hooked up in another epic tiebreaker to decide the team outcome. This time Kansas' No. 1 singles player was all out of magic. Avdeeva fell 7-3 in a second set tiebreaker giving Baker a 7-5, 7-6 (3) victory and Oklahoma a 4-3 win in the opening round of the Big 12 Championship.
KANSAS CITY, MO. — For the second time in three hours at the Big 12 Championship, Elizaveta Avdeeva found herself locked in a tiebreaker with Oklahoma's Gabby Baker.
STEPHEN MARSHALL
After her team's season ended with a 4-17 record, Coach Amy Hall-Holt tried to put a positive spin on the close loss.
The match had an eerie similarity to the last match Kansas played against Oklahoma — Kansas fell 4-3 at Oklahoma on March 14. In both matches, Kansas won the No. 1 and No. 2 doubles matches to take the doubles point, but lost four out of six singles matches to lose 4-3.
This time, Kansas got an 8-6 win from junior Lauren Hommell and freshman Kunigunda Dorn at No. 2 doubles to compliment Avdeeva and Horvath's victory at the No. 1 spot.
As the match moved to singles, Kansas saw Hommell quickly go down, losing 6-2, 6-0. Then Horvath and Dorn were the next to fall. They lost 6-4, 6-1 at No. 2 singles and 6-1, 7-5 at No. 3 singles respectively.
"The girls put it out there in both singles and doubles," Hall-Holt said. "This," she said while looking around the Plaza Tennis Center, "Is what competition is all about."
The Jayhaws ended their season Thursday with a first-round loss to Oklahoma. Their record for the season is 4-17.

Home may be where the heart is,
but it's not where the wins are for the
Jayhawks this season.
After a long day in Nebraska on Thursday the Kansas softball team returns to Lawrence to conclude its 2007 season at home this weekend.
"It's frustrating not getting the home wins, but I love how we're playing on the road," coach Tracy Bunge said.
Kansas (31-18-1, 6-8 Big 12 Conference) will play No. 3 ranked Oklahoma (34-16, 7-7 Big 12 Conference) at 2 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday.
Being the final home series, the Jayhawks will recognize the seniors, pitcher Kassie Humphreys and first baseman Nicole Washburn, in a pregame ceremony.
"Right now, we're playing with confidence and I think we'll be able to give Oklahoma a run for their money," Bunge said.
The team is winless at Arroba Ballpark this season against Big 12 teams; though on the road the team is 6-1 against the Big 12 with victories against Nebraska (34-14, 7-5 Big 12 Conference) and Creighton (32-11-1, 13-3-1 Missouri Valley Conference).

"Not many teams could handle what we went through and for us to get wins was important," Bunge said.
Two of the Big 12 top pitchers squared off in a close knit game that opened up late.
Lincoln, Neb., after the game was postponed Wednesday because of wet conditions. They then traveled to Omaha, Neb., to play one game against Creighton, which was originally a double-header.
Humphreys threw a complete game, struck out four batters and walked eight.
Senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys (16-10) gave up three runs on three hits, but got the offensive support the team has been lacking in recent weeks to give her the victory.
Squaring off against the Kansas offense was Nebraska's senior ace Ashley DeBuhr.
DeBuhr, who shut out the Jayhawks in their first meeting, threw for six innings and struck out seven Jayhawk batters.

Kansas prepares for Big 12 rematch
Tricia Sawtelle was a bit skeptical when the members of the Kansas rowing team were told to close their eyes and row.
BY CATHERINE ODSON
"We were kind of nervous because we were afraid someone was going to get an aar handle in the back," Sawtele, a senior rower, said. "After we did it the first time, we thought, 'Oh, that was easier than we thought it would be', and just had fun with it."
Senior rower Lindsey Miles said the team wasn't sure whether to take the idea seriously at first, but the exercise helped them focus on moving together during a stressful point in the race.
Sawteille said that the rowers had to trust each other and depend on what they felt because they couldn't see what anyone else was doing.
"The start is a very hectic, nervewracking time, and we have a tendency to get over hyped up." Miles said. "We're not as in sync as well as we can be."
Starts have caused problems for the Jayhawks this season. Kansas first varsity eight boat fell behind early against Minnesota, and three Kansas boats did the same against Kansas State on April 7. It's one of the things the Jayhawks will try to improve in Sunday's Big 12
Invitational in Kansas City, Kan.
Kansas coach Rob Catloth said the exercise wasn't a "magic potion" but would help the rowers be aware of more than what they saw in the boat.
"It's just a little trick to help you think about things a little differently and get your focus on things that will help you so faster," he said.
Sophomore coxswain Katie Brosious said the team was ready to "get after" the title.
Kansas will race against Kansas State and Texas, the only other Big 12 Conference universities with rowing teams. Kansas finished second to Texas in all six races on March 24. The Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats in Lawrence to capture the Kansas Cup two weeks later.
"I think we're ready to take the cup," she said. "Texas has had it way too long."
Kansas and Kansas State tied for second behind Texas at last year's invitational, Texas has won the past five years.
The regatta begins at 11 a.m. Sunday on Lake Wyandotte in Kansas City, Kan.

TRACK AND FIELD
BY TAYLOR BERN
The Jayhawks will have athletes at two different locations in the hopes of bringing home more regional qualifying marks.
Most of the track and field athletes will take the trip to Des Moines, Iowa, for the Drake Relays, while a small contingent of distance runners will travel west for the Cardinal Invitational at Stanford.
Sophomore Zlata Tarasova, also competing in the hammer throw, will look to build on her eighth place finish a year ago.
At last season's Drake Relays, a meet very similar to the Kansas Juniors, junior Egafonov won the hammer throw with his career-best toss of 233-0 feet. Agafonov won the Kansas Relies this year with a season-best throw of 227-05 feet and is the favorite heading into Saturday's competition.
Fresh off his Kansas Relays victory, senior Eric Babb takes on the long jump, with junior Barrett Saunders providing some friendly competition.
Junior Kate Sultanova will compete in the special section of the pole vault on Saturday, while freshmen Kirk Cooper and Jordan Scott each get their first Drake experience as a college athlete on Friday in the pole vault.
Throwing the discus will be senior Cody Roberts, and hurling the shot put will be senior Abby Emsick and sophomore Stephanie Horton.
KANSAS 68
BUILDER 42
HOLLYWOOD 39
Headlining the group of distance runners that will be heading to Stanford are junior All-Americans Paul Hefferon and Colby Wissel.
Hefferon and Wissel each ran in the 1,500 meters at the Kansas Relays in order to prepare themselves for this weekend's races. The goal was to work on certain muscles that the runners will need at the end of a long race.
Amanda Sellers/KANSAN
Julius Jiles, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, keeps pace with other runners during the men's 100-meter dash on April 20. Jiles finished his heat with a time of 10.96.
Wissel will run in the 5,000 meters and Heffernon is scheduled to run his first-ever 10,000-meter race.

Longest torch relay in history covers sensitive ground
BY STEPHEN WADE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
and reach Mount Everest.
BEIJING — Organizers for the 2008 Beijing Olympics announced Thursday what will be the longest torch relay in the history of the games, tracing a route that covers five continents and makes politically sensitive stops in Taiwan and Tibet.
The head of Taiwan's Olympic Committee, however, said it would not participate in the relay, because it "downgraded" the island's sovereignty.
"It will be a relay that will cover the longest distance and be most inclusive and involve the most people in Olympic history," said Liu Qi, the head of Beijing's Olympic organizing committee.
The relay is the latest grand plan associated with an Olympics that organizers and IOC officials have said should set a new standard for the games. But it also takes the games into politically tricky terrain.
At a Beijing ceremony attended by senior members of China's ruling Communist Party and the International Olympic Committee, organizers said the route would cover 85,000 miles, last 130 days
Stops in Taiwan and Tibet, where Mount Everest towers, have generated controversy ever since Beijing telegraphed its intentions to include them on the route years ago. Taiwan has resisted Beijing's overtures — and sometimes threats — to unify after splitting amid civil war while
China's often-harsh 57-year rule over Tibet has been widely criticized.
Four American activists were detained by Chinese authorities Wednesday on Mount Everest after they unfurled a banner calling for Tibet's independence.
Beijing is hoping that the torch relay will bolster its claims over both territories.
In a compromise, however, the torch will pass from Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City to Taipei, Taiwan's capital, and then to Chinese-controlled Hong Kong. The route allows Taiwan to say it is part of the international leg, while allowing China to blur the distinction between the domestic and international parts.
But Tsai Chen-wei, chairman of
Taiwan's Olympic Committee, said less than two hours after the Beijing meeting that the island would not participate in the torch relay.
"This route is a domestic route that constitutes an attempt to downgrade our sovereignty." Tsai said. "It is something that the government and people cannot accept."
Tsai's comments contradicted an April 13 statement by another Taiwanese Olympic official, who said the island could accept a spot on the torch route that involved geographical contiguity with Hong Kong.
Taiwan's governing Democratic Progressive Party has long pushed for a torch route that would reflect Taiwan's separateness from China, from which it split amid civil war in 1949.

SHOOTING

Player files suit against school
BY JOE MANDAK
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSEURGH — One of five Duquesne University basketball players shot on campus last year has sued the school, alleging it failed to provide adequate security at a dance.
The lawsuit, filed late Wednesday in Allegheny County Common Pleas Court, says university officials did not take action once they knew of potential criminal activity. A doorman let two armed men into the dance even after their friend asked if the men would be frisked, according to the lawsuit.
"Rather than alerting the campus police who were present inside the ballroom about (the frisking inquiry), or taking other similar reasonable steps, the doorman simply responded that they would not be frisked," and allowed the men to enter the lawsuit states.
The player who filed suit. Stuart Baldonado, was one of five shot early Sept. 17, 2006, as they walked back from the dance. Also wounded were
Aaron Jackson. Shawn James, Kojo Mensah and Sam Ashaolu, who was shot twice in the head.
Baldonado, a junior transfer from Miami-Dade Community College in Florida, was shot in the arm. The bullet, according to the lawsuit, hit an artery and then continued through his chest, missing his spine by a centimeter.
Two alleged gunmen and two
Two alleged women who allegedly helped facilitate the shooting are awaiting trial. Each has pleaded not guilty.
The school will not discuss the lawsuit, but is committed to its students' safety, spokeswoman Bridget Fare said.
Baldonado remains a scholarship player and works out with his teammates, after taking a medical redshirt last season because of his injuries, said Teresa Torisea, his attorney.
said, "was a totally unprecedented event for Duquesne,"
The bullet damaged Baldonado's elbow and back "preventing him from doing the full range of things he did as a basketball player," Toriseva said.
"The university has a longstanding, proven record of providing a safe living and learning environment."

FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 2007
BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"That shows their maturity. You recognize that you have to play 27 games, all nine weekends. We're sitting at the bottom of the Big 12 standings looking up at literally two to two-and-a-half games separate us from last to fifth place."
Price has a point. Entering this weekend's series, Oklahoma sits in fifth place in the Big 12 with seven conference victories. Kansas sits in last with six.
Nevertheless, Kansas needs to win starting now. Senior center fielder Kyle Murphy will be a likely candidate in making that happen. Murphy led the offensive effort in his team's last time out on Sunday, going 3-for-5 in the 8-1 routing of Texas Tech. Murphy is second on the team with a .315 average on a team hitting just .278.
Oklahoma, on the other hand, continues to keep the bats hot despite the four game losing streak that was snapped in Manhattan last weekend.
Shortstop Aaron Reza leads the team, hitting .341. His 3-for-6 Sunday performance included a solo shot. Right fielder Joe Dunigan also tagged one on Sunday for his team-leading eighth homer of the season. He barely trails Reza, hitting .340.
"Our first four weeks we swing the bats really well, but we didn't pitch that well," Price said. "Now we're getting the pitching."
Kansas will again start freshman lefty Wally Marceli this weekend. However, he will replace junior Zach Ashwood and sophomore southpaw Nick Czyz will return to a rotation that Price said is giving them more chances to win.
Both will be on display in Norman, Okla., at 7 p.m.

DAVISON (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Zook has coaching roots at Kansas, and Illinois isn't more appealing than KU. Yes, Illinois has struggled so far under Zook, but look at the recruiting classes he has brought in the past two seasons. Zook's last two classes, according to Scout.com, are No. 28 and No. 20. Mangino's are No. 47, and No. 78.
Mangino has done a respectable job of getting KU competitive, but he clearly isn't the coach that can take the football program to the next level. This season should have been a cakewalk — easy schedule
without Oklahoma and Texas, weak Big 12 North. If KU didn't blow the Toledo, Baylor, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State games, this team would be eyeing the Big 12 championship. But wait, shouldn't we just be satisfied that the football team is "in" these games — just like in 2004?

ond inning. The team scored on a fielding error and took the lead 1-0.
SOFTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
But the Kansas offense reemerged and capitalized on DeBuhr in the sixth inning, scoring four runs and giving Humphreys a big enough lead to put the game away.
"We've got momentum since the Tech game and that has lead to our confidence going up which leads to good things." Bunge said.
the sixth inning offensive explosion began with leadoff hitter, sophomore outfielder Dougie McCauley, who hit a single with one out, which broke up DeBuhr's no hitter.
Senior first baseman Nicole Washburn reached on base on a fielder's choice moving McCaulley to second.
Freshman outfieldier Amanda jobe was walked to load the bases.
Sophomore shortstop Stevie Crisostome hit an infield single to
bring in McCaulley and advance the other runners one base.
Sophomore catcher Elle Pottorf hit a sacrifice fly to bring in Washburn and advance the runners.
Humphreys came up and took a 2-2 pitch to left field for a single that brought in Lobe and Cristo.
The execution with runners on base troubled coach Bunge a week ago against Missouri, but the team got the clutch hit they were looking for.
"When you're feeling good about yourself things go your way." Bunge said.
GAME TWO:

Two runs in the second inning were enough for the Jayhawks to defeat the Creighton Blue Jays and extend the Kansas winning streak

to four games.
Freshman Sara Ramirez laid down a sacrifice bunt that advanced the runners and sophomore third baseman Val Chapple's single to right field brought home Cristost.
Freshman outfielder Ally Stanton brought in Potorf with a fielder's choice hit.
Sophomore Valerie George started for the Jayhawks and threw for 3 1/3 innings.
Senior Kassie Humphreys came in as a reliever and got out of a jam to pick up her 17th victory of the season.

Nuggets coach's son recovers from cancer surgery
BY PAT GRAHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Coby Karl went through dribbling and shooting drills on the far corner of the Denver Nuggets' practice court.
He put himself through quite a workout as some of the Nuggets players scrimmaged at the other end.
"It feels good to get a sweat going," the Boise State basketball player said Thursday. "I'm tired,
but it's a good thing. You know you're getting better"
Karl, the son of Nuggets coach George Karl, underwent a seven-hour surgery on April 2 to remove cancerous lymph nodes. It was his second operation in 13 months.
But he's feeling better. He's slowly getting back into basketball shape and the 3-inch scar below his chin from where the doctors performed the operation is starting to fade.
"I hope they (NBA teams) like me," Karl said.
"it's tough," Karl said of getting back his conditioning. "The beginning is the hardest part."
There's definitely one that does his father.
"He's obviously a little biased," Coby Karl said with a laugh. "Hopefully I can play well enough in Orlando (at the NBA pre-draft camp) to impress some other teams and hopefully start a buzz."
Karl was diagnosed with papillary carcinoma, a form of treatable cancer, in January 2006 and had his thyroid removed three months later. He also underwent chemotherapy to kill off any remaining cells, but the cancer returned.
Karl was in town to visit his dad and take in a couple of Nuggets playoff games against the San Antonio Spurs. Then it's back to Boise State, where he'll graduate in May with a degree in mass communications.
After that, Karl's attention will be solely focused on basketball. He's hoping to be selected in the NBA draft in June.
in April, his father left the Nuggets following a game in Seattle so he could be with his son.

George Karl, who was treated for prostate cancer in 2005, said at the time of his son's surgery that it was hard to wait for him to come out of the long operation.
Karl will have blood work done in a month to see how he's recovering. However, he isn't living in fear of the cancer.
"The word is kind of scary," Karl said. "It's cancer and it's a big deal. But what my doctors have told me about it, it's very treatable. I've just got to keep going."
"When it goes longer and longer, you always think the worst, and start worrying about things like being under anesthesia that long and all the nightmares you have about surgeries," George Karl said.

Now, Coby Karl is almost back to his old self. His touch was returning Thursday as he swished one shot after another. Karl finished third on Boise State's career scoring list with 1,698 points. He's also the school's career leader in games played, 3-pointers made and attempted.
"I'm not in the shape I have been in the past," Karl said. "But I'm feeling good and that's big."

tight three-set match. After she won the first set, Smith struggled in the second, but rallied in the third to take the match, 6-2, 2-6, 6-3. Smith's victory gave Karnas their third and final point of the day.
The loss ends a disappointing season for the Jayhawks, but afterward, Coach Hall-Holt was anxious to talk about the future.
"We got everybody back next year and were adding a few to the lineup," Hall-Holt said. "I told the girls that we have to start tomorrow getting ready for next year."
In a season that will be remembered for its close losses and the team's miragd of injuries, Hall-Holt said there is one thing she will remember about this team. "They never let up," she said, "They had a lot of heart."

Tennis doubles give nail-biting performances
-Edited by Trevan McGee
TIE-BREAKERS
K
NSAS CITY.Mo.
They make fans'
best at a little
He is best a little bit faster. They make a few more drops of sweat trickle down an athlete's face We've all seen them or played in them.
They're the moments of the game, meet or match where everything matters.
Thursday at the Big 12 Championships, two of Kansas' matches came down to one of these moments: the tie-break.
A good tie-break to decide the outcome of a match is as exciting as any other pressure moment in sports. It's in basketball when Sherron Collins goes shoeless and still drives for the game-winner against Missouri. It's in football when Todd Reesing burns his red-shirt and scurrils across the field to evade Colorado's umpet bid.
The tie-break has the same bite-your-nails tense feel. The concept for one is simple; score seven points and win by two before your opponent does.
It didn't take long for one of these moments to take place. Elizaveta Adeveha and Edina Horvath played back and forth their entire doubles match against Oklahoma's Gabby Baker and Irina Lykina. They went up 6-4 before Baker and Lykina tied it back up. Then they went up 8-7 and had a chance to serve for the match. Baker and Lykina wouldn't let them win.
Let the tie-breaker begin.
BY MARK DENT
Well, sort of. Avdeveva and Horvath's rackets didn't start moving for a while. Horvath drilled a shot right in to the net. Lykina nearly ripped Avdeveva's head off with a forehand. All of a sudden, Lykina and Baker had a 4-0 lead.
Anyone who follows Kansas tennis knows this isn't a good sign. Avdeeva and Horvath have to win. Not should. Not ought. They have to win. The Jayhawks haven't won a match as a team this season when they didn't win the doubles point.
BY MARK DENT
KANSAN COLUMNIST
MDENT@KANSAN.COM
Aveeva must have known this, because the momentum immediately changed. She started executing
and Baker did the exact opposite: she made an error. After a seemingly endless rally, Baker hit the ball into the net. She hit it long. She hit it long again. It was 4-4.
Baker and Lykina won the next point. Avdeeva and Horvath then tied it up 5-5. Now this was really one of those pressure-packed moments. The rush-hour traffic on Cleaver Boulevard was stopped so passengers could watch. People stopped walking on the sidewalks to peer inside the chainlink fence.
Athletes can either melt under the pressure or live up to it. Avedeva lived. Baker melted. Avedeva ripped a serve in the middle of the box and Baker tapped it back into the net.
On the next point, Horvath and Baker battled against each other on the baselines. Finally, Baker pushed a forehand long. Kansas won the doubles point. The Jayhawks' chances for advancing looked good.
But college tennis matches are really long. There's always plenty of time for redemption. Players who mess up in doubles can think about it for a while and make up for it later on in their single match.
Kansas and Oklahoma had played even in the rest of the singles matches. The team score was 3-3. Avdeeva and Baker battled on center court to determine which team would advance to the second round.
Like their earlier doubles match, it was back and forth. Baker jumped out to an early lead in the first set. Avdeeva broke her and led 5-4, but Baker came back to win the first set 7-5.
The second set was almost opposite. Avdeeva led early but had to come back to tie the second set at 6-6.
Let the second tie-break begin.
Baker won the first couple points but Avdeyea answered back. The score was 3-3. It was one of those moments again. With all the other matches finished, both teams swarmed around center court. Fans whispered to each other, realizing the importance of each point.
Avdeeva hit a serve long. Fault one. She hit her next one into the net. Double fault. On the next point, Baker rifled a forehand winner. Avdeeva made another error. She was down 6-3. One more mishap and the match was Baker's.
Avdeeva and Baker each hit the ball a couple times to each other before Avdeeva finally missed. Game, set and match Oklahoma.
Avdeeva walked to the bench. Her teammates console her. Baker yelped out a cheer — she was soaking in the moment.

Schilling's bloody sock rumor recirculates in Baltimore
BY JIMMYGOLEN ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — No paint, no ink, no ketchup.
Nothing but Curt Schillings blood was seeping through his socks in the 2004 postseason, current and former Red Sox said Thursday after a rumor resurfaced that the pitcher milked his injury for drama while helping Boston end its 86-year title drought.
On Wednesday, Baltimore announcer Gary Thorne said during his broadcast of the Red Sox-Orioles game that Boston backup catcher Doug Mirabelli admitted it was a hoax.
"It was painted." Thorne said. "Doug Mirabelli confessed up to it after. It was all for PR."
Thorne backed off Thursday after talking to Mirabelli before the Red Sox played the Orioles. Thorne said Mirabelli had been ioking.
"He said one thing, and I heard something else. I heard what I
said", Thorne said. "Having talked with him today, there's no doubt in
"He said one thing, and I heard something else. I reported what I heard and what I honestly felt was said."
GARY THORNE
Baltimore announcer
reported what I honestly felt was
my mind that's not what he said, that's not what he meant. He explained that it was in the context of the sarcasm and the jabbing that goes on in the clubhouse.
"I took it as something serious, and it
wasn't, thorne said.
Mirabelli confirmed the story.
saying, "He knows that I believe 100 percent that I thought the sock had blood on it. It never crossed my mind that there wasn't blood on that sock. If he misinterpreted something said inside the clubhouse, it's unfortunate."
Mirabelli said he spoke with Thorne in the Boston clubhouse about six months after the 2004 playoffs.
"As he was walking away he asked, 'How about the bloody sock?' I said, 'Yeah, we got a lot of publicity out of that, and that was all he can recall me saying.' Mirabelli said. "He said he assumed what I meant was that the sock was fake and that it was just
a publicity stunt. That by no means is what I meant. There was never a doubt in mind there was blood on the sock."
After an ankle injury hampered Schilling in Game 1 of the 2004 AL championship series against New York, team doctors jury-rigged a tendon in his right ankle to keep it from flopping around. With blood seeping through his sock, the pitcher came back to beat the Yankees in Game 6.
The Red Sox completed an unprecedented comeback from an 0-3 deficit to reach the World Series, and team doctor Bill Morgan repeated the procedure before Schilling's
Game 2 start against St. Louis. Boston beat the Cardinals en route to a four-game sweep and its first championship since 1918.
The bloody sock has become symbolic of Boston's comeback, and the Red Sox don't take kindly to those who question its authenticity.
Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said the team "would not dignify (Thorne's) insinuations with extensive comment ... other than to remind everyone that we remain steadfastly proud of the courageous efforts by a seriously injured Curt Schilling - efforts that helped lead the Red Sox to the 2004 World Series championship."

Twins defeat Royals 1-0 in 11th inning
Greinke beaning two fuels Minnesota offensive momentum
MINNEAPOLIS — Torii Hunter's beaming gave the struggling Minnesota Twins a little spark.
Mike Redmond's run-scoring single in the 11th victory Thursday gave the Twins a 1-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals that ended their four-game losing streak.
Justin Morneau and Jason Tyner hit back-to-back singles on Todd Wellemeyer (0-1) with one out in the 11th. Redmond, who hurt his left shoulder earlier in the game on Tony Pena Jr's backswing, then hit a line drive to right-center field to bring home Morneau.
Juan Rincon (1-0) pitched a scoreless 11th for Minnesota, which also ended a four-game home losing streak and won for just the second time in five games against Kansas City this season.
After watching Hunter get hit in the face by Zack Greinke's 2-2 fastball leading off the second inning, the Twins were fired up. Players were hopeful the victory could provide momentum and help snap
their offensive slump.
charging Greinke before changing his mind, had three stitches to close a cut on the inside of his lip but said he plans on playing Friday night at Detroit.
Greinke hit Jason Bartlett with a pitch later in the second, drawing boos from the crowd. Twins reliever Matt Guerrier hit Royals cleanup hitter Reggie Sanders with a pitch in the seventh, and Sanders veered toward the mound briefly as he walked slowly up the first-base line — but nothing more happened.
Greinke said he didn't intend to hit either of the batters.
"You don't want to do that ever," Greinke said about the Hunter bearing. "I just felt bad about it. He's a good guy. Everybody knows that."
Guerrier claimed he didn't hit
"Nobody likes that to happen, and as teammates that makes us mad," Redmond said. "Fortunately for us today, we came back and got that win."

"We had so many chances," Kansas City manager Buddy Bell said.
Jim Mone/ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Royals wasted seven shutout innings from Greinke, who allowed four hits and walked four. He struck out one and lowered his ERA from 4.82 to 3.51.
Kansas City is looking for a breakthrough season from the 2.3-year-old Greinke, who spent most of last year in the minors after he underwent counseling for social anxiety.
"Zack was outstanding," Bell said. "He was working both sides of the plate."
Minnesota Twins' Torii Hunter fools around in the dugout against the Kansas City Royals in a baseball game Thursday in Minneapolis. Hunter was hit by a pitch in the mouth from Kansas City's Zack Greinke in the second inning and was taken to a hospital, where he received three stitches.
Bonser wasn't nearly as efficient; needing 108 pitches to get through five innings.
"It's coming around, but seven walks — that's just not .me," said Bonser, who hasn't won since Sept. 25.
Bonser walked the bases loaded with one out in the fourth but got out of the jam by getting Pena to hit into a forceout at home and David Delesus to fly out to left field.
The Twins have scored 11 runs in their last five games. They were relieved to pick up a win before heading into a series against the defending AL champion Tigers.
"He pitched out of it, but it was finger painting. It wasn't art," Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said.
"Guys are getting after it as hard as they can," Gardenhire said. "Offensively, we're not quite where we want to be right now, but we got three hits in the last timing, and that's all that matters."

Johnson weighing options as Chief
BY DAVE SKRETTA ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs quickly dispelled rumors they are shopping Pro Bowl running back Larry Johnson before this weekend's NFL draft.
Team spokesman Bob Moore said Thursday the Chiefs have not offered Johnson to anybody and that no team has been given permission to speak with him.
"Anybody who is reporting it's true is simply not telling the truth." Moore said.
The 27-year-old Johnson has been participating in the Chiefs' offseason program. He signed a seven-year contract in 2003, but he can void it down to a five-year deal after the final
before next season.
"Yeah, to cover myself because I know how fickle the NFL can be as far as age and contracts and running backs," he said. "I would be an idiot to think that I would be taken care of in the long run if I happen to get hurt next year."
"Obviously the numbers could possibly drop. I could possibly not be getting all I could get. If I turn around and play another year I could get the franchise tag. A lot of things
"I think one thing the fans don't really understand is I don't have a 9-to-5 job. I can't work until I'm 40, until I'm 45."
Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson slips past San Diego Chargers' Donnie Edwards as he goes in for a 11-yard touchdown run of a football game on Oct. 22, 2006, in Kansas City, Mo.

Johnson was asked on Sirius NFL
Radio if he would welcome a trade
game of the 2008 season because of play-time incentives. He has not yet publicly indicated whether he plans to do so.
I think one thing the fans don't really understand is I don't have a 9-to-5 job. I can't work until I'm 40, until I'm 45. I've got to get what I can get now to take care of not only my future
Rumors that Kansas City wants to trade the brooding back, who carried the ball an NFL-record 416 times last season, surfaced as the team scrambles to acquire draft picks. The Kansas City Star, without citing a source, reported Thursday that the team had offered Johnson up for trade.
Ed Zurga/ASSOCIATED PRESS
"When you have a veteran football team, that's very, very good." Edwards said recently. "But at the end of the day, you have to acquire young players along the way."
Kansas City unloaded return specialist Dante Hall to the St. Louis Rams for a fifth-round pick on Wednesday, falling in line with coach Herm Edwards' desire for a more youthful roster built via the draft.
family but my future family's kids and also my grandmother, my aunt. There's a lot of things that play into it when it comes to money."
The Chiefs invited four running backs — California's Marshawn Lynch, Ohio State's Antonio Pittman, Florida State's Lorenzo Booker and Louisville's Kolby Smith — for interviews, and have said they are willing to draft a running back in the early rounds.

But Johnson expects team owners Daniel and Clark Hunt to keep him.
"Obviously a lot of things play into it and I have to look at my situation as it goes deeper into June and July," Johnson said. "I've got to sit back and make a decision, but I'm not really ready to make that decision yet as far as what I want to do for my future, as far as covering myself.
"And I think things will work out in the end. I've got the two best brothers as far as owners in the league. Daniel and Clark Hunt take after their father and they're a very compassionate family. I'm pretty sure they would do everything they can to make sure I'm a Chief forever."
But trading Johnson might make sense to those who view the Chiefs as undertaking a major rebuilding effort.
Kansas City is poised to start the season with untested second-year quarterback Brodie Coyle and journeyman Damon Huard, who played last well season when Trent Green missed parts of eight games with a concussion.
The offensive line is full of holes, after the retirement of 11-time Pro Bowl tackle Willie Roaf last season and 12-time Pro Bowl guard Will Shields earlier this month. The wide receiving corps has little depth

The Miami Dolphins have reached a tentative agreement with Green, who will be 37 when training camp opens. But the teams have not agreed on compensation, and it is becoming increasingly unlikely a trade will be done by the start of the draft.
"He's still a guy in his prime," said former Houston Texans general manager Charley Casserly, who believes the Chiefs will sign Johnson to a contract extension. "I don't know what they could get to replace him.
Another way the Chiefs could acquire more draft picks is by dealing Green, the two-time Pro Bowler who returned from his concussion midway through last season, but never played at the same level.
Johnson's value has never been higher, either. After rushing for 1,750 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2005, he gained 1,789 yards and had 17 touchdowns last season. His 2,199 yards from scrimmage accounted for 43 percent of the Chiefs' total offense.
Certainly a draft choice isn't going to replace him.

Rush enters draft, return unlikely

While Rush can still return to the team by withdrawing from the

draft before June 18, coach Bill Self isn't expecting that.
"The team we have returning now is our team," he said. "Anything else would be a bonus."
The Jayhawks are unlikely to add another scholarship player to the team for next year, as almost all of the elite players have already committed to various schools.
Self had advised Rush to wait and
see how many other players would enter the draft. On Wednesday, the two met for most of the afternoon, with Self laying out pages of information for Rush about how NBA scouts saw him and what he could gain by staying or leaving.
At the end of the meeting, Rush told his coach that he was probably

Jason Neal, Monett, Mo. senior, Becky Anderson, Meriden junior, Emily Robbins, Overbrook sophomore, and Colby Farlow, Tecumseh junior, try to keep afloat in their concrete canoe Saturday afternoon at Lone Star Lake, southwest of Lawrence. The concrete canoe contest was part of the 2007 American Society of Civil Engineers Mid-Continent Regional Conference. Neal, captain of the KU concrete canoe team, said the team has been working on designing and constructing their canoe since September.

Engineers test concrete canoes in races at local lake
Three winded KU engineers paddled hard against the tranquil waters of Lone Star Lake on Saturday. Though racing against the clock and other boats, they were content in the simple fact that their concrete canoe stayed afloat on its maiden voyage.
Eleven teams of engineers raced canoes on Lone Star Lake, located southwest of Lawrence, as part of the 2007 American Society of Civil Engineers Mid-Continent Regional Conference. The conference was a three-day event with 10 engineering competitions. Teams from 11 regional universities entered the concrete canoe contest, which saw them design, build and race their ships according to an extensive rule book.
"We just have to make it less dense than the water so it floats," said Emily Robbins, Overbrook sophomore, and one of seven members of the KU team.
Robbins said her team canoe, a 20-foot, 250-pound boat named the Koncrete Uproar, was able to remain allot because it wasn't made of normal concrete. Instead of rocks and
pebbles, the concrete mix included glass pellets' and latex, which made the canoe lighter, more flexible and less permeable by water.
Jason Neal, KU team captain and Monett, Mo., senior, said that to compete in the day's races teams had to first pass a dunk test to make sure the canoes wouldn't line the bottom of the lake if capsized. After passing the dunk test, the teams competed in five races of speed and endurance, trying to paddle through buoys and straight-aways without tipping their canoes.
He attributed the overturn to rough paddling and a sharp turn, which sloshed water into the back of the canoe. The weight caused the canoe to dip into the water, causing the rowers to abandon ship and leave it bobbing just below the lake's surface.
"That water is really cold. We don't want to go in it," Neal said about a half-hour before he and two others overturned Koncrete Uproar and had to swim it back to shore.
“You never know how it’s going to act until it gets in the water” Neal said.
Participation in a technical writing competition was a required part of the competition.
The teams were judged on the aesthetics of the boat, racing performance and a presentation of their canoe and design to judges.
According to unofficial results, the KU team finished ninth out of 11 teams. The winning team would be eligible to compete in the National Concrete Canoe Competition in June in Seattle. However, Becky Anderson, Meriden junior and team spokeswoman, said the competition
was more about fun than winning.
"We wanted to get the canoe to look the best that it could, and when it came to rowing it we just wanted to have fun," Anderson said.

Paw patch detects stress levels in cats and dogs
TOKYO — Wondering if your dog or cat is stressed? Just stick a special patch on the bottom of its paw and you'll be able to tell, according to a Japanese company.
The patch, developed by Japanese company Medical Life Care Giken, purports to measure the stress level of dogs and cats by detecting excessive sweat secretion — believed to be a sign of stress — the Nikkei Weekly reported Sunday. The round, pin-sized patch is applied to the center pad of the animal's paw and changes color depending on how sweaty the pet is, the Nikkei said.
The company, which makes a similar patch for humans, said it worked with researchers at Toyama University to study the sweat patterns of dogs and cats, which secrete sweat from their paws, the Nikkel said.
The patches are expected to go on sale in Japan this year.
800-pound pig subject of new horror movie
ALAPAHA, Ga. — Hogzilla, a near-mythical monster hog that roamed south Georgia, is about to get a little bigger.
An independent filmmaker is producing a horror movie about the super swine called "The Legend of Hogzilla" and has even enlisted the beast's killer on the set as an adviser.
A National Geographic team confirmed the pig's existence in 2005 after exhuming the behemoth's remains. While the experts said the hog didn't exactly live up to the hype
— local hunters said the pig was 12 feet long and weighed 1,000 pounds — they still discovered a mighty big hog. They estimated it weighed around 800 pounds and was probably about 8 feet long.

going to turn pro, leading Self to think that Rush was leaning that way all along.
"What I wish had happened was, if he knew all along what he was going to do, we'd be better off with him doing it," Self said. "If he made the decision three weeks ago, I think we would have had a good opportunity to replace him."
Because the door is still open for Rush to return, the Jayhawkes can't add another scholarship player just yet. Because of NCAA sanctions against the team, they have one fewer scholarship available than other teams next year. The team was at capacity under the sanctions, but Rush's departure would free one up.
To return to Kansas, Rush cannot hire an agent or accept any money or other benefits while he works out for NBA teams. He'd have to pay his own way to the NBA draft camps as well as any other events he wished to attend. Self also said that there's a large mental hurdle to clear as well.
"I think that whenever guys declare that are going to be high draft picks, I think it's difficult for a lot of those guys to come back," Self said. "Nothing would surprise me, but I told him that if he does this, he needs to go for it."
Currently, Rush is being projected as a late first- or early secondround pick. First-rounders receive guaranteed contracts, but players chosen in the second round have to make the team, then negotiate for their salary.
Rush can improve his stock with a strong showing at the NBA Pre-Draft Camp, which takes place in Orlando, Fla., in the last week of May. It won't be his first time at the camp. Rush attended his senior year of high school, before he decided to come to Kansas.
"He performed really well the first time around," Self said. "I'm sure that's a high-anxiety event, and I'm sure he will be a little bit calmer because he knows what to expect."
Rush was not available to comment for this story. He said after making his decision that he would not be holding a press conference to discuss it.
NBA commissioner David Stern has called this year's draft the strongest since underclassmen first began jumping pro in the early '90s. Players across the country, including Rush's former teammate, Julian Wright, are going pro this year.
"You see people all over the country doing it," Self said. "It's a popular thing to do."
For Rush, age was one of the factors. He will turn 22, the age of a college senior, this summer. He's nearing the peak of his career and is ready to get some NBA experience under his belt.
That leaves next year's Kansas team with a mix of old and young players. Veterans like Russell Robinson and Darnell Jackson will mix with Sherron Collins and Darrell Arthur. Several players on the team have NBA potential, but this year were unable to step up into a starring role because of Rush and Wright.
Newcomers Cole Aldrich and Tyrel Reed are also expected to be able to contribute minutes right away.
Self said part of the reality of coaching at Kansas is dealing with early departures for the NBA. Rush almost skipped being a Jayhawk to go pro straight out of high school.
"We were hopeful to get him for one year when we signed him," Self said. "To get two years was a bonus."

AWARDS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
As a new tradition, the Shirlie Anne Vaughn Outstanding House Director award was presented in memorial of a former house director of Delta Upsilon. Vaughn's son, David, took the

The masters of ceremonies, Ryan Lonergan, Mission Hills junior, and Julie Niggle, Overland Park junior, congratulated all Greek houses for their excellence in academia. For the fall semester, the all-Greek GPA was 3.10, slightly higher than the all-University GPA at 2.92.

that the Outstanding House Director award had been named in her honor," Vaughn said. "It wasn't until after her death that we really got a handle on how much influence she had and all the people she touched."
Other awards included the Intramural, Blood Drive and Highest Grade Point Average awards.
RYAN LONERGAN Mission Hills junior
Six overall chapter excellence awards were given out, all to University sororities: Chi Omega, Delta G am m a , Delta Delta D e l t a , Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha Theta
and Kappa Kappa Gamma.
Although women dominated the chapter excellence awards, the men of Beta Theta Chi won the most awards of any chapter. Eight awards went to the fraternity, which received first place in all three of the highest GPA categories for fraternities.
Only one award was not given this year, the M. Angela Carr
Greek Unity award. This award is based on nominations made by Greek chapters for other chapters on campus. Greek chapters were encouraged to nominate for the next year's awards ceremony so it could be given to a deserving chapter; no one was nominated this year.
Lonergan said he and Niggle began planning for the award ceremony in January and were pleased with the result.
"The main thing is that we were able to recognize all the chapters that are contributing to the University of Kansas," Lonergan said. "We put in a lot of time, but it's good to see it done."
Tanner Burns, Wichita junior and Interfraternal Council vice president of public relations, said it was pleasing to see Lonergan and Niggle's hard work pay off.

HAPPINESS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
continued in English, occasionally stopping for word clarification from a translator.
Rinpoche said to achieve happiness, people needed to stop listening to their "monkey mind." He said everyone had self-created suffering because of their monkey mind, which was constantly talking and telling them what to think. He described someone looking into a mirror, complaining of differing cheek sizes, crooked nose and a forehead pimple.
"You say to yourself, 'What should I do? I'm ugly,'" Rinpoche said. "And your neurons say, 'Yes, you're ugly.' And the other neurons in your brain all agree, 'We think you're ugly too.'"
He said these feelings increased as each week passed, and people became more and more self-conscious about their flows
which affected their studies, relationships, actions, fears, thinking and appearance. The monkey mind changes our perception of ourselves, making us unhappy.
Rinpoche said.
To counteract this talkative monkey mind, Rinpoche suggested meditation exercises and concentration.
"If you recognized your own perception, that is the best way to liberate yourself from this suffering."
"If you recog- nized your own perception, that is the best way to liberate yourself from this suffering."
MINGYUR RINPOCHE
Tibetan Buddhist author
Rinpoche explained his first experience with meditation and how it balanced his own monkey mind. He said that he started having panic attacks when he was 6 years old
On a three-year retreat in India as a teenager, his panic attacks worsened, and he tried meditation to battle them.
"I looked at panic face-to-face and used that image for my meditation." Rinpoche said.
Rinpoche said that after recognizing his panic and addressing it through concentration, he had inner peace and a stable mind. He said we should not confront our negative emotions, but change our perception of them through recognition.
Audience member Leigh Ann Livingston, Lawrence graduate student, said she had been non-spiritually meditating since 1988. But when she started experiencing panic attacks in 2002, meditation helped her overcome them like Rinpoche
had.
She said she experienced panic attacks because she would feel overwhelmed with her family, her house, her job and maintaining success in all of these areas.
"When I wake up, I'm calm," Livingston said. "But at night the whole world starts to fall apart. It all caves in."
She said that before she went to bed it negatively affected her to think of solutions to her problems, or to try to find answers. Instead, she said she allowed herself to say, I'm okay, I'm experiencing panic right now'. If she recognizes the problem instead of trying to fight it, she becomes calm.
"This happens to a lot of people," Livingston said. "We want control. Fear isn't something that we are comfortable with. We can all learn to have this calm abiding in the face of uncertainty."
In times of extreme happiness or extreme suffering, Livingston said those emotions are short-lived, and people shouldn't run toward the emotion.
"Whichever of the two occurs, be patient," Livingston said.

KANSAS CITY SHOOTING
BY HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH ASSOCIATED PRESS
Gunman kills two
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A shooting at a Kansas City shopping center has left at least three dead, including the gunman, police said.
Two of the victims were shot about 3:30 p.m. in the parking lot of the Ward Parkway Center in south Kansas City. The gunman went inside the mall and is believed to have fired more shots, wounding at least two people, police spokesman Tony Sanders said.
The man was shot to death inside the mall, but police were still trying to determine exactly who shot him, Sanders said. His body remained there early Sunday evening.
Sanders said the entire incident began about 2 p.m. at another location, when police went to a home to investigate a report of a person who had not been seen by relatives for days. The person was
found dead and his car was missing, Sanders said.
Around 3:15 p.m., an officer was shot in the arm after pulling over a man who was driving the victim's car. The officer, whose wound was not life-threatening, returned fire. The car took off and was later seen at the mall.
Police received several calls from people who saw a man with a "long gun" at the mall, Sanders said. The gunman shot two people in the parking lot, killing them, then went inside the mall and fired more shots, Sanders said.
TRAFFIC STOPS
The mall, one of the city's busiest shopping centers, was shut down and officers were going through each store. Sanders said.
Preliminary witness accounts gave conflicting accounts of exactly where the shootings occurred. Television video showed a window shot out at a Starbucks coffee shot but some witnesses said the shooting occurred near a Target store.
Study reveals color disparity
Justice Dept. reports African Americans, Hispanics more likely to be arrested
BY MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — AfricanAmerican, Hispanic and white drivers are equally likely to be pulled over by police, but African Americans and Hispanics are much more likely to be searched and arrested, a federal study found.
Police were much more likely to threaten or use force against African Americans and Hispanics than against whites in any encounter, whether at a traffic stop or elsewhere, according to the Justice Department.
The study, released Sunday by the department's Bureau of Justice Statistics, covered police contacts with the public during 2005 and was based on interviews by the Census Bureau with nearly 64,000 people age 16 or older.
"The numbers are very consistent" with those found in a similar study of police-public contacts in 2002, bureau statistician Matthew R. Durose, the report's co-author, said in an interview. "There's some stability in the findings over these three years."
Traffic stops have become a politically volatile issue. Minority groups have complained that many stops and searches are based on race rather than on legitimate suspicions. African Americans in particular have complained of being pulled over for simply "driving black."
"The available data is sketchy but deeply concerning," said Hilary Shelton, director of the NAACP's
Washington bureau. The civil rights organization has done its own surveys of traffic stops, and he said the racial disparities grow larger, the deeper the studies delve.
"It's very important to look at the hit rates for searches — the number that actually result in finding a crime," Shelton said. "There's a great deal of racial disparity there." He called for federal legislation that would collect uniform data by race on stops, arrests, use of force, searches and hit rates.
"This report shows there are still disturbing disparities in terms of what happens to people of color after the stop," said Dennis Parker, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's racial justice project. He also said better reporting is needed.
Like the 2002 report, this one contained a warning that the racial disparities uncovered "do not constitute proof that police treat people differently along demographic lines" because the differences could be explained by circumstances not analyzed by the survey. The 2002 report said such circumstances might include driver conduct or whether drugs were in plain view.
Traffic stops are the most frequent way police interact with the public, accounting for 41 percent of all contacts. An estimated 17.8 million drivers were stopped in 2005.
African-American, Hispanic and white motorists were equally likely to be pulled over by police — between 8 percent and 9 percent of each
group. The slight decline in African Americans pulled over — from 9.2 percent in 2002 to 8.1 percent in 2005 — was not statistically significant, Durose said, and could be the result of random differences.
The racial disparities showed up after that point:
African Americans (9.5 percent) and Hispanics (8.8 percent) were much more likely to be searched than whites (3.6 percent). There were slight but statistically insignificant declines compared with the 2002 report in the percentages of African Americans and Hispanics searched.
African Americans (4.5 percent) were more than twice as likely as whites (2.1 percent) to be arrested. Hispanic drivers were arrested 3.1 percent of the time.
Among all police-public contacts, force was used 1.6 percent of the time. But African Americans (4.4 percent) and Hispanics (2.3 percent) were more likely than whites (1.2 percent) to be subjected to force or the threat of force by police officers.
People interviewed described police hitting, kicking, pushing, grabbing, pointing a gun or spraying pepper spray at them or threatening to do so. More than four of five felt the force used was excessive, but there were no statistically significant racial disparities among the people who felt that way.
Two years ago, the Bush administration's handling of the 2002 report and its finding of racial disparities generated considerable controversy.
MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
Doctors explore new ways to operate Procedures include surgeries through natural openings in bodies
BY MALCOLM RITTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — A 4-year-old boy lay on an operating table a few weeks ago with a tumor that had eaten into his brain and the base of his skull. Standard surgery would involve cutting open his face, leaving an ugly scar and hindering his facial growth as he matured.
But doctors at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center knew a way to avoid those devastating consequences. They removed much of the tumor through the boy's nose.
Since then, doctors in New York and in France have announced they removed gall bladders through the vaginas of two women. And doctors in India say they have performed appendectomies through the mouth.
It's a startling concept and a little unpleasant to contemplate. But researchers are exploring new ways to do surgery using slender instruments through the body's natural openings, avoiding cutting through the skin and muscle.
Many questions remain about that approach. But doctors say it holds the promise of providing a faster recovery with less pain and no visible scars. And in the brain, it can avoid a need for manipulating tissue that could disturb brain and eye function.
For abdominal surgeries, going through the mouth, vagina or
rectum would avoid the need to cut through sensitive tissues. And deep inside the body, where tissue doesn't feel lasting pain, the procedures themselves might be less traumatic.
Some abdominal surgeries like bowel operations can require patients to spend a week or more recovering at home. With the natural-opening surgery, the theoretical hope is that "they really can go back to work the next day" said David
Rattner of Massachusetts
Gener al
Hospital.
"It would be like going to the dentist and getting a root canal," Rattner said. "It's not trivial, but it also isn't disabling."

DR. MARC BESSLER On punctures during surgery
Sometimes doctors even pass up one natural body opening for another. On the same day they treated the 4-year-old, doctors in Pittsburgh operated on neck vertebrae of an elderly man through his nose. Usually, this operation would have been done through the mouth.
However, entry through the nose isn't feasible for brain tumors in some locations. That's why doctors had to remove the rest of the 4-year-old's tumor another way, by going through the side of his skull. They used an incision designed to hide behind his hairline.

But going through the nose meant the patient could start eating right away rather than waiting a few days. And he avoided the risks of a feeding tube and a surgical hole in his throat to help him breathe, said neurosurgeon Dr. Amin Kassam.

Sound familiar? It's much like laparoscopic surgery, which revolutionized the operating room more than 15 years ago. For many operations, long incisions have been replaced with three or four holes, each maybe a quarter-inch to a half-inch wide. That has vastly reduced pain and recovery time.

METHAMPHETAMINE
Drug cartel devastates Wyoming reservation
Sagaste-Cruz ring part of larger problem of facing Native Americans
BY ANGIE WAGNER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WIND RIVER INDIAN RESERVATION, Wyo. — Just off the deserted highways, the silver pickup truck eases down quiet streets, its driver offering a numbing tour of a remote reservation framed by the beauty of snow-capped mountains.
There, Leon Tillman says, over there — the house on the right, a white, two-story building set off by itself. It used to be a big drug house. Now it's shuttered, its owners in prison.
A man dressed in an army green shirt and pants appears on the side of the road, his thumb up, looking for a ride. "That's a meth head," Tillman says. "He's bumming right now."
A few more drug houses and Tillmaris tour of the despair of methamphetamine ends.
Not long ago, most people here had never even heard of meth. But today, most know someone on meth or in prison because of it. Tillman, 39, knows too many to count.
Indeed, Native Americans have been especially hard hit by meth. Drug cartels have targeted Native American Country because the people were vulnerable, and law enforcement struggled to keep up.
But the story of how meth came to this remote reservation is really quite remarkable.
Like a cancer, a Mexican drug gang permeated the reservation and its families. It left behind a landscape strewn with broken lives.
Some 12,000 Native Americans — members of the Northern Arapaho and the Eastern Shoshone tribes — live on 2.2 million acres, an area so vast many homes are separated by miles of barren land.
Poverty and unemployment are high, alcoholism is rampant and the police department is so understaffed — patrolling such a large area — that the average response time is 15 to 20 minutes.

Jesus Martin Sagaste-Cruz eventually received a life sentence for selling methamphetamine on Native American reservations in South Dakota, Wyoming and Nebraska. This arrest photo, provided by the Drug Enforcement Administration, was made on March 8, 2004.
Authorities learned of the Sagaste-Cruz drug ring back in 1997. Sagaste-Cruz and his Mexican gang had already been selling around reservations in South Dakota and Nebraska.
But it was an article in The Denver Post that changed the way they did business. The story talked about how a Nebraska liquor store near the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota did millions of dollars in business. Sales were especially high immediately after Native Americans received their per capita checks — their share of their tribe's income.
Sagaste-Cruz figured if there were already so many Native Americans addicted to alcohol, it would be easy enough to addict them to metham-phetamine.
"They came to a place where people don't have anything," said Frances Monroe, who works in the Northern Arapaho Child Protection Services office.
So around 2000, the Mexicans moved in and near Wind River Reservation.
They started with free meth samples. The men pursued Native American women, providing them with meth even as they romanced them and fathered their children. Eventually, the women needed to support their habit, so they became dealers, too — and they used free samples to recruit new customers.
For the next four years, the gang sold pounds and pounds of meth, much of it 98 percent pure. The

drugs came from Mexico, then on to Los Angeles; Ogden, Utah (where Sagaste-Cruz lived); and finally Wyoming, where gang members had a handful of local distributors, each with their own customer base.
Customers became dealers and
Customers bee recruiters, and their customers did the same.
Before, meth was barely mentioned on the reservation. Police reported only sporadic arrests.
But now the reservation was saturated with it, Crime soared. From 2003 to

The Wind River reservation is not alone. The Bureau of Indian Affairs found that methamphetamine was listed as the greatest threat to Native American communities by police departments.

Native Americans.
Here on the Wird River,
a tribal judge,
Lynda Munnell-
Noah, was arrested in a 2005 drug ring bust and accused of trying to assault and murder a Bureau of Indian Affairs law enforcement officer.
Resources are few and most reservations don't have treatment centers. Between 2000 and 2005, the number of methamphetamine contacts in Indian Health Services facilities increased by almost 250 percent.
In his 2008 budget, President Bush proposed a $16 million increase in law enforcement funding in Native American Country to help combat methamphetamine, a
godsend to police departments like Wind River's, which has only 10 police officers.
"The heartbreaking part of it is,it's had this absolutely devastating effect on our community," Thompson said. "I have tribal leaders coming to my office all the time just crying. I mean, how do you fight this? How do you function as a government when 30 percent of your tribal employees are now using meth?"
Inside a tribal office, a bulletin board displays meth's effects This is a place where people mostly keep to themselves. They know meth is a huge problem, but they don't want to talk much about it. They fear retaliation.
A jury found that the Sagaste-Cruz ring had distributed more than 99 pounds of meth — an amount that had a street value of between $4.5 to $6.8 million, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. The gang also sold meth on the Rosebud, Pine Ridge and Yankton reservations in South Dakota and Santee Sioux reservation in Nebraska, authorities found.
Sagaste-Cruz and 22 other people were given a life sentence, in Sagaste-Cruz' case. His brother, Hilio Caesar Sagaste-Cruz, remains a fugitive.

ENTERTAINMENT Buttafuoco serves time for possession of ammunition
SAN FERNANDO, Calif. — Joe Buttafucoo, whose 17-year-old lover shot his wife in the face more than a decade ago, was released from jail after serving three months for illegally possessing ammunition, authorities said.
Buttafuco, 50; walked out of Los Angeles County Jail just before 9 a.m. Saturday, according to the Sheriff's Department Web site. His release was first reported by the syndicated
television program "The Insider."
Buttafuoco pleaded no contest in July to illegally possessing ammunition. The case stemmed from a search of his Chatsworth home in 2005 by the Los Angeles County Probation Department.
At the time, Buttafuoco was on probation for a felony insurance fraud conviction. Prosecutors had said that Buttafuoco, who co-owned a San Fernando Valley auto body shop, told undercover investigators how to file false claims and cheat insurance companies.
Fisher, nicknamed the "Long Island Lolita," served seven years in prison. Buttafuco pleaded guilty to statutory rape and served four months in jail.

Buttafuoco was running an auto
His wife, Mary Jo, recovered. The couple remained together after the Fisher affair but divorced after moving to California.

Carbon neutrality craze catching on
Soon to be gracing the esteemed covers of your favorite celebrity tabloid, along with celebrities' weight loss and divorce numbers: a given star's carbon neutrality statistics.
The newest crop of envirocelebs Clooney, Leo, Gore, et al. — is leading the charge for carbon neutrality, along with a host of businesses rushing to offset their own emissions by buying "credits" in environmentally beneficial operations. The result, in theory, is that your munificent donation to such an entity counterbalances your contribution to the destruction of the planet.
This trend, along with the popularity of the latest fashionable humanitarian crises and responses, indicates the rise of cause as commodity, in which our responses to assorted and impending problems is dictated in part by the status of that cause. This commercialization of altruism reveals itself in a variety of ways, be it through "Save Darfur" shirts or the support of arbor-replacement organizations.
Admittedly, commercial charity is preferable to the absence of charity. Given the potentially perilous state of our fragile environment, efforts at carbon neutrality and the "greening" of corporate America is an encouraging sign. But in our rush to embrace the latest humane endeavor, let us not overlook the core mission of these goals: to help those in need, not those whose suffering is timely.
Before carbon neutrality camp anti-deforestation efforts, solar panels, and hybrid cars. Before Darfur came Rwanda, Bosnia, and Tibetan freedom, the Ur-humanitarian trend. We are saddled now with Product Red, the brainchild of professional savior and sometime musician Bono, which seeks corporate synergy to help fight AIDS. A noble goal to be sure, but the results have been dismal, raising in charitable funds just a fraction of the massive marketing costs expended.
Modern charitable drives have begun to slip into peculiar territory as the sort of hot nightclub of activities, a venue in which to see and be seen. Opposing the horrific genocide in Darfur is not as important as being seen as opposing the horrific genocide in Darfur. Product Red shirts allow you to declare in the most expository of manners your support for the fight against AIDS, but allows for little else. The commodification of charity can unfortunately breed an atmosphere of symbolic contribution; the presence of a Livestrong bracelet, for example, indemnifies you from accusations of apathy and makes you a visual supporter.
Let's remember the roots of these causes, not merely their trendy consequences. The need for assistance, not just the appearance and figurative guise of assistance, is what's needed most. Consider bypassing the trendy crusaders' organizations entirely, and pledging your support instead to a direct assistance group.

Massachusetts Street is a downtown gem
>> COMMENTARY
I thought spring had come a couple of weeks ago and then it snowed. But with the recent return to warm weather, I decided to cautiously peek my head out of winter hibernation and reacquaint myself with life outdoors, starting with Massachusetts Street. First, I created an eclectic On-the-go play list on my iPod. With Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" playing louder than necessary, I induced nearly-halucinogenic over-caffeination and took to the streets to catch up with the heartbeat of city, the essence of Lawrence's charm, the regulars of downtown. This is my story: from 11th Street to 6th Street and back.
Don McLean - "American Pie"
Cat Stevens ~ "The First Cut is the Deepest"
Even before Jefferson's wings, Massachusetts' bombardment of the senses starts with the music, which coincidentally, is not dead. Street musicians are a staple downtown. The corner of 7th and Massachusetts Streets houses the one-man-and-a-saxophone "Concert for Peace" several nights a week. While his smooth jazz is a personal favorite of mine, there are dozens of other regular acts up and down the street. A couple of times I've even seen a dreadlocked girl with a tip jar playing only the maracas. There's something for everyone

Chumbawamba-
"Tubthumping"
Full of "whiskey drinks, vodka drinks, lager drinks and cider drinks," you'd be hard pressed to take a trip downtown without running into at least one drunk. You'll probably find some spitting, cursing miscreants spilling out of bars
and unknowingly jaywalking across the street to the Antique Mall to ride the miniature three-horse carousel
I still remember the first time I met the "Honk-4-Hemp" Guy in his all-hemp leisure suit as a freshman. Coming from smooty, conservative Johnson County and seeing him put that giant thumb to his nose in defiance of "the Man," I knew I'd made the right college decision.
The Beatles - "Lovely Rita"
The only local demographic hungrier for your loose change than Lawrence meter maids are the panchandlers. Despite appearances, some may actually be professionals. Confrontational self-starters committed to scraggling his or her beard and hair each morning can earn up to 6-figures of untaxed income in a year according to a drunk I spoke to at a party once. I was accosted once by a not-so-young urban professional in the middle of an intersection. He put his hands on my shoulders and shook me a bit, although to be fair he may have just been trying to maintain his balance. Something of an actor myself, I was
inclined to humor his performance, despite the sign changing to "Don't Walk" and my swirling thoughts about the Mercedes he had parked around the corner. He was charming in a not-getting-stabbed-may-be-wishful-thinking sort of way.
Backstreet Boys "《Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely》
As I secretly lamented not being born a decade sooner so I could have joined a boy band in the late '90s, I realized it was getting late and I was the only one left walking the street. I also realized being alone meant I could sing as loud as I wanted without judgment.
If Massachusetts Street is the heart of the city, then these happy men, women and animals are the oxygen-saturated hemoglobin proteins in the red blood cells. Carrying life-giving joy to everyone they pass, the Downtown All-Stars are a microcosm of Lawrence itself, on one condensed five-block strip. Hopefully these comfortable temperatures last and everyone can rediscover the wonders of downtown. It's almost May, but you can't predict the weather. The forecast on my iPod: John Legend's "Refuge (When it's Cold Outside)."

Pictures of aborted fetuses should stay off sides of semi trucks, public displays
While waiting at a busy Lawrence intersection, I was assaulted by the graphic images of dismembered aborted fetuses. The 27 x 13 images grace the sides of a fleet of semi trucks.
Regardless of your abortion stance, you have to admit this campaign does more harm than good for the anti-abortion movement. Extremist tactics will only serve to alienate many moderate anti-abortionists from the movement, not wanting to associate with the cause of zealots.
After visiting a Web site listed on the truck, I discovered these pictures were a part of a slick campaign
Laws exist to restrict access or viewing to only consenting adults in other forms of media, but fortunately for the Center, poor taste is protected by the First Amendment. Although the group's tactics run perilously close to being advertising speech — to which the First Amendment offers less protection — it is still legal.
designed by a California-based organization, the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform. Lawrence isn't the only lucky city to be graced by this group's presence. The trucks are a part of a traveling marketing campaign designed to make sure no American'eyes escape unscathed by these pictures.
I'm not hoping to bend the First Amendment, nor do I want to. All I'm asking is that you remain skeptical about this particular group's tactics; if you already support this group, I'd encourage you to examine what its actions really say about its values.
The next time you see these trucks drive through your neighborhood, rejoice that you live in a country where it's legal to drive around town with pictures of bloody, dismembered corpses on the side of a vehicle, but it's indecent to do the same with pictures of a naked human body.
Some argue the only way to show the "evils of abortion" is to show other Americans "what abortion looks like," while other proponents liken its images to those of concentration camp victims during the Holocaust. If this group cares so much for children, why must it dehumanize the fetus by displaying its mangled body for the entire
world to see, or for that matter,
display an image certain to disturb
plenty of young children? You see,
these people don't really care about
children; all they care about is causing a scene.

Liam Hoey-Kummerow, 5, of Lawrence, works on an art project during a children's art appreciation class in Spencer Art Museum. Saturday's class was entitled "Art in Nature." The students learned about different approaches to art and then created their own masterpieces.
Children ages 5 to 14 gathered Saturday at the museum to learn how contemporary African artists performed reverse glass painting. After the lesson, the participants had a chance to create their own paintings based on the techniques they learned.

"Be careful because the paintings have eyes and they watch wherever you go," 11-year-old Tienna said.
Lauren Kernes, youth and family outreach coordinator for the museum, said the classes were important because they introduced art concepts to children in a way they might not learn otherwise.
Two Saturdays each month during the school year and every Saturday during the summer, participants are invited
to the museum for children's art appreciation classes like this one.

Iran joins effort to curb violence
WAR IN IRAQ
BY QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD — Iran agreed Sunday to join the U.S. and other countries at a conference on Iraq this week, raising hopes the government in Tehran would help stabilize its violent neighbor and stem the flow of guns and bombs over the border.
In an apparent effort to drive home that point, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told an Iranian envoy that the persistent violence in Iraq — some of it carried out by the Shiite militias Iran is accused of arming — could spill over into neighboring countries, including those that are "supposed to support the Iraqi government."
Iraq's other neighbors as well as Egypt, Bahrain and representatives of the five permanent U.N. Security Council members have agreed to attend the meeting Thursday and Friday in the Egyptian resort of Sharm El-Sheik.
The conference will also include Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, raising the possibility of a rare direct encounter between high-level U.S. and Iranian officials.
In Washington, Rice would not rule out a meeting with the Iranians, whose delegation will be led by Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki.

Oklahoma too much on Senior Day
BY EVAN KAFARAKIS
Seniors Kassie Humphreys and Nicole Washburn played their final game at Arrocha Ballpark on Sunday and had one word to describe it.
"Emotional."
In its final home series of the season, the Kansas softball team (32-19, 1-7, 7-9) split two games with No. 3 Oklahoma (49-7, 14-4).
The Jayhawks beat the Sooners 20 on Saturday for their third victory
against a ranked team this season. It was also the highest-ranked opponent they've beaten since defeating No.2 Texas last season.
The 735 fans in attendance for Sunday's game watched a 13-4 loss that might have looked one-sided, but wasn't to coach Tracy Bunge.
"I'm really pleased with the way our team has come out and played recently," she said.
The lahawks found themselves behind 2-0 after the first inning and after a six-run third inning made the
score was 8-0 in favor of the Sooners.
"A lot of teams you get down 8-0, you give up and take it home, but our kids made Oklahoma scratch and claw." Bunge said.
"Kassie didn't quite have the stuff she had yesterday." Bunge said.
Humphreys threw a two-hitter complete game, striking out six in
Saturday's victory. She said the difference between the two games was Oklahoma's patience at the plate.
"I just couldn't keep them off balance," Humphreys said.
Sophomore Valerie George came in for Humphreys and pitched three innings, allowing five runs on five hits striking out four. A blister on her right hand bothered her enough that freshman pitcher Sarah Vertelka came in the game finish the game.

Undrafted Cornish heads north to CFL
BY ASHER FUSCO
Jon Cornish will play professional football this season just not in the United States
After not being selected in this weekend's NFL Draft, Coraish, a former Kansas running back, has reportedly turned down NFL free agent offers to sign with the Calgary
Cornish
Stampeds of the Canadian Football League.
the Stampeders retained the rights to Cornish after selecting him in the second round of
last year's CFL Draft, despite the fact that he returned to play his senior season. Cornish is a native of New Westminster, British Columbia.
Cornish will begin his CFL career after the end of the spring semester so he can finish his psychology degree. CFL training camps begin in May and the regular season starts in June.
Repeated attempts to contact Cornish were unsuccessful.
Cornish was projected by some NFL Draft experts to be a sixth- or seventh-round pick. His fall off the draft board could be attributed to teams selecting lowly regarded

Jayhawks record first Big 12 series victory
BY ALISSA BAUER
It took less than five seasons for coach Ritch Price to move up on the Kansas baseball leader board.
Entering the weekend, former Kansas coach Bobby Randall reigned with the third-most layhawk victories at 166. With Sunday's 9-4 victory in Norman, Okla., Price picked up number 167.
"I did not even know until yesterday," Price said about when his sports information director informed him of his pending achievement. Without pausing, he said he then asked "So how many more do I need to be second?" Because I know how many Floyd (Temple) has."
In addition to his personal accomplishment, Price led the jayhawks to their first Big 12 Conference series victory of the season. After a 8-0 blowout loss to Oklahoma (28-17,
"There's no doubt about it." Price said about the series victory holding more importance. "Having played six series and not being able to win one has been tough and then to come down here and take two-of-three on the road was big."
8-10) on Friday, Kansas (22-26, 8-13) rebounded in a big way, winning back-to-back games and closing out the weekend.
Starting pitchers Nich Conaway (4-3) and Wally Marciel opened the game in opposite directions. In the first three frames, Conaway flew through the Jayhawk lineup as Kansas went three, up-three down in two of the first three innings, capped off by a four-pitch third.
Meanwhile, Marcel got hit hard from the leadoff man on.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Early NBA jumps now the norm
Rush's, Wright's departures add to growing Jayhawk exit trend
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
What was once a rare event at Kansas could be turning into an annual event. College players first
ing school prematurely in the early '90s, although the legendary Wilt Chamberlain gave up his Jayhawk uniform early at a time when freshmen weren't even allowed to play varsity college basketball.
Former coach Roy Williams made it a point to recruit players he thought would contribute to the team for four years, so Kansas was mostly immune to the trend.
But with a new coach comes a new philosophy. Bill Self has been recruiting the nation's best players, guys who are coming to Kansas to sharpen their skills before taking the next step.
"You recruit guys that you hope are good enough to play at another level, and you hope they put themselves in a position to benefit the University." Self said.
The trend is unlikely to end with Julian Wright and Brandon Rush. Freshman Darrell Arthur will almost assuredly be a lottery pick in next year's draft, and guard Mario Chalmers may not make it past his junior season.
With a new age limit for NBA players, the days of high schoolers turning pro are gone. Now, the top players in the country are looking for schools that will accommodate their one- or two-year stay, and coaches like Self are having to change the way they recruit and handle players to adjust to the new system.
After Wright left, Self said he wasn't going to waste any time moping around, because high school players saw a fayhawk turning into an NBA lottery pick after two years at the University.
"It's not a totally bad thing," he said. "That's very attractive to some guys out there."

Kansas finishes second in Big 12 Invitational
BY CATHERINE ODSON
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Kansas' first varsity four was the only Jayhawk boat to win a race at the Big 12 Invitational regatta against
Freshman rowers Kaitlin Squier, Kerri Emel and Brittany Belford row in the second novice eight race Sunday afternoon at Wyandotte County Lake during the 2007 Big 12 Invitational. The boat lost its race to Texas, but Kansas placed second overall in the meet.
The Jayhawks' first varsity four of sophomore coxswain Lexie Peterson and sophomore rowers Brooke Castrop, Hailee Jones, Abbi Huderle and Kristin Deckert jumped to an early start, but Texas stayed close for the first half of the race. Kansas started to push in the middle 1,000 meters and pulled away in the third 500 meters of the 2,000-meter race.
Texas and Kansas State on Sunday at Wyandotte County Lake in Kansas City, Kan.
"You see them and you want to go for more," she said.
Peterson said that once the team pulled away, it was motivated by the boats behind it.
SEE ROWING ON PAGE 2B
Kansas finished in 8:31.0, 10.8 seconds before Texas (8:41.8). K-State finished third in 9:29.5.
"After our start, we got into it, got relaxed and just kind of pulled in front of Texas," Peterson said.
"It was a pretty good battle between them and Texas all the way down. Texas did get us in the end, but we were second by just about less than a boat length."

Kansas' performance varies across nation
BY TAYLOR BERN
TRACK AND FIELD
The Kansas track and field team competed at four different meets this weekend. It traveled across the country in search of better competition and returned with mixed results.
Sophomore Zlata Tarasova finished third in the hammer with a throw of 199-09. Both Agafonov and Tarasova have regional-qualifying marks.
At the Drake Relays, junior Egor Agafonov continued his dominance with a season-best throw of 228-04 feet, winning the hammer throw. Agafonov avenged a second place finish at last year's Drake Relays and has won every outdoor meet this season.
Sophomore Victoria Howard, fresh off of her Kansas Relays victory in the 100-meter dash, won both the 100 and 200.
In the pole vault, senior Lara Gjerde and sophomore Ryan Hays swept the event for Kansas.
Gjerde cleared 12-9 feet, ahead of second team teammate junior Libby Harmon at 11-11, while Hays soared over 15-5.
The most success for the Jayhawks this weekend came at the UMKC Invitational.
Competing in the long jump, senior Eric Babb failed to follow up his success at the Kansas Relays. Babb came in 10th with a distance of 23-10 feet. Junior Barrett Saunders tied for 18th at 23-00.
Brown had a 14th-place time of 13.80 in the 100-meter hurdles, while Jiles' time of 14.25 in the 110-meter hurdles also left him in 14th. The top eight advanced to the finals.
Junior Maresia Pencil won the 800-meters in 2.13.41, and freshman Mary Lacy placed second in the discus with a throw of 126-06 feet.
Howard came in at 12.20 seconds in the 100-meters, and then crossed the line in 24.45, winning the 200.
At the Penn Relays, junior hurdlers Ashley Brown and Julius Jiles each failed to make it to the finals after disappointing preliminary times.
Results from the Cardinal Invitational were not available Sunday.

running backs like Thomas Clayton and Justin Hairston before Cornish. Clayton played just five games in his senior season at Kansas State under first-year coach Ron Prince. Hairston was a relative unknown from Division I-AA Central Connecticut.
Cornish enjoyed great success as a running back in his final two seasons at Kansas, but many NFL talent evaluators thought him too slow to be a major contributor at the professional level.
At the NFL Scouting Combine and the Kansas Pro Day, Cornish posted 40-yard dash times in the 4.5 to 4.6 second range. Elite running back prospects ran the same distance in anywhere from 4.3 to 4.5 seconds.
In the weeks leading up to the draft, Cornish said he expected to be selected in the sixth or seventh round. If he was not taken, he said he would try to sign with an NFL team as a free agent.
Cornish's list of feats at Kansas is a long one. He set the Kansas single-season rushing record in 2006 with 1.427 yards, in the process leading the Big 12 Conference in rushing. As a senior he received All-Big 12 First Team honors and averaged 5.8 yards per carry, a Jayhawk record.
Overall, 28 former Big 12 players were selected. Texas sent seven players to the NFL, the most of any Big 12 school.

Texas finished first in the team standings, followed by Kansas and Kansas State. It was the sixth straight year the Longhorns claimed the Big 12 Invitational title.
The Jayhawks' first varsity eight boat closed the gap with the Longhorns, finishing just under four seconds back. Kansas finished 10 seconds behind Texas earlier this season on the Kansas River.
Kansas quickly pulled into second, but all three boats stayed close for the first 500 meters. In the second 500 meters, Texas pulled in front and K-State began to fall behind. The Jayhawks made up some of the lost water on the Longhorns, but they never caught up. Texas pulled away in the final strokes of the race.

Senior rower Lindsey Miles said the weather was a factor.
"The headwind really took it out of us to stay with them that far, and the sprint was not usually as high as we have it," she said. "We were pulling as hard as we could with the headwind."
Kansas' next competition will be May 12 and 13 at the South-Central Regionals in Oak Ridge, Tenn.

Mariners defeat Royals in odd inning
MLB
BY TIM BOOTH ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Cha Seung Baek took a no-hit bid into the sixth, and Willie Bloomquist two-out, two-run double in the seventh inning broke a 1-1 tie in Seattle's 5-1 victory against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
Baek overpowered the Royals for six innings and needed to as Seattle managed just four hits off Kansas City starter Brian Bannister (0-1). Mark Grudzielanek got the Royals' first hit on a line drive
single to center with two outs in the sixth.
Brandon Morrow (2-0) got the final two outs of the seventh and pitched a perfect eighth.
Bloomquist got a second chance in his decisive at bat and came through with just his second hit of the season. Bloomquist fouled off a 3-2 pitch from Bannister, but the ball lodged behind catcher John Buck's chest protector and didn't hit the ground. Buck tried to jig off the field, claiming the inning was over. Home plate umpire Chris Guccione conferred with the rest
of the crew and ruled it a foul ball. Rule 6.05b states the batter is not out if the ball is caught in the catchers' equipment or clothing unless it hits his hand or glove first.
Bloomquist then lined the next pitch into center field and David Dejesus' diving attempt came up empty. Jimmy Gobble replaced Bannister, but Ichiro Suzuki greeted him with an RBI single that scored Bloomquist.
Richie Sexson added an RBI single in the eighth, his first single of the season in his 69th at bat. All nine
of his previous hits in April were doubles or home runs.
Dejesus and Alex Gordon were the only Royals' to reach base before Grudzielanek, both on walks.

Cardinals pitcher dies in car crash
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIAED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Josh Hancock, a key member of the bullpen that helped the St. Louis Cardinals win the World Series last season, was killed in a car crash early Sunday.
The Cardinals postponed their home game Sunday night against the Chicago Cubs. It was the second time in less than five years that a St. Louis pitcher died during the season. Darryl Kile was found dead in his hotel room in 2002.
Police said the 29-year-old Hancock was alone in his 2007 Ford Explorer when he struck the rear of a tow truck at 12:35 a.m. The truck was in the left lane assisting another vehicle that was involved in a prior accident, officer Pete Mutter said.
Hancock was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the tow truck, whose name was not released by police, was in the truck at the time of the crash but was not injured. The medical examiner's office said Sunday morning that an autopsy had been scheduled.
"All of baseball today mourns the tragic and untimely death of St. Louis pitcher Josh Hancock," baseball commissioner Bud Selig said. "He was a fine young pitcher who played an important role on last year's World Series championship team."
News of Hancock's death began to circulate around the majors on Sunday morning. Seattle Mariners pitcher Jeff Weaver, who won the World Series clincher for St. Louis in October, got a call from Cardinals reliever Randy Flores.
"I never really had a phone call like that before. It's kind of mindboggling. Just a few days ago I had talked to him on the phone, touching base again because we were pretty good friends at the time," Weaver said. "We spent a lot of time together. It was just hard to believe."
three or four days ago just to chat, and asked if Weaver had received his World Series ring.
Hancock was remembered at ballparks around the country. The Cleveland Indians observed a moment of silence before their game
Weaver said Hancock called him
against the Baltimore Orioles, with Hancock's picture displayed on a giant scoreboard.
"It's terrible, another terrible event," said Rockies manager Clint Hurdle, who was the Colorado hitting coach when Kile was a part of
the Rockies' staff in 1998 and 1999. "The young man had done so well last fall and had a promising career."
A Cardinals-Cubs game also was postponed in June 2002 after Kile died in Chicago. The pitcher died of a coronary artery blockage.
I will always have your support.
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Braden Looper gets a hug from Chicago Cubs manager Pinelli after he spoke to the media about the death of Cardinals pitcher Jihann Hancock on Sunday in St. Louis. Hancock was killed early Sunday morning in an auto accident on Interstate 64 in St. Louis.

The second day of the NFL draft hardly was without big names and drama. No, Sunday couldn't match the slide of Brady Quinn and the dealing of three 2008 first-round picks. But it had some juicy angles, including Smith, the Ohio State quarterback, going to the Ravens on the final pick of the fifth round. That's 174 picks overall, the ninth quarterback and seventh Buckeye chosen.
NEW YORK — Troy Smith is taking his Heisman Trophy to Baltimore. Randy Moss is bringing his sinking reputation to New England.
"The wait, that's not a concern for me," Smith said. "The concern was the chance to be a part of an organization which is the ideal fit, playing for a winning team and a winning organization and getting a chance to learn from guys like Steve McNair, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, coach (Brian) Billick and Ozzie Newsome."
Baltimore's seasoned roster of winners is a major reason Newsome grabbed Smith.
Heisman winner falls to 174th pick
"I said, 'Here you are, coming off a big time career at Ohio State, playing in the national championship game, the Heisman Trophy winner, and you're probably going to be a nobody because we've got some Hall of Famers that are in that locker room.' And you know what? He really relished that opportunity."
NFL DRAFT
"We felt this was the best scenario for both the Raiders and Randy," Oakland coach Lane Kiffin said.
GOTKASOLD
785.331.2222
Moss, who made five Pro Bowls in seven seasons with Minnesota, had 102 catches for 1,558 yards and 11 touchdowns with the Raiders. But he had career lows last season with 42 catches for 553 yards and three touchdowns.
So did Moss, who refuted the impression he has a bad reputation in the NFL.
"I have a microscope (on me) and my microscope is very big," he said. "The people that talk about me, as far as my work ethic and my competitive nature and me going out there and playing football, the best thing I can say to you, male or female, all you have to do is line up against me and see what happens."

Moss never took advantage of his few opportunities with the Oakland Raiders and was dealt to the Patriots on Sunday for a fourth-round pick, No. 110 overall.

The Raiders pumped up their offense by taking quarterback JaMarcus Russell of LSU at the top of the draft; tight end Zach Miller of Arizona State in the second round; wide receiver Johnny Lee Higgins of UTEP and tackle Mario Henderson of Florida State in the third; and Bush.
Oakland selected defensive back John Bowie of Cincinnati with the pick for Moss.
"Just really last night me and coach (Bill) Belichick really talked for the first time about what's been going on," Moss said. "He asked me how excited I (would be) if the opportunity would present itself for me to become a Patriot and, really, I was overwhelmed because I didn't expect to hear from coach Belichick."
It took him two years to become a pariah with the woeful Raiders. Less, actually, because the former All-Pro receiver in Minnesota even admitted he didn't always go all-out
New England never has shied from taking on other teams problem players — perhaps most notably running back Corev Dillon
— and has succeeded with them. Now the Patriots have Moss to bolster their receiving corps, and they chose safety Brandon Meriweather of the Miami Hurricanes in the first round. Meriweather played a prominent role in Miami's brawl with Florida International last season.

"He ran over there and made a bad decision. I don't think that's who he is," coach Bill Belichck said of Meriweather. "I spent time with him (and) a lot of people in that program and I think football's important to him."
Then there was Michael Bush, a likely first-rouder before breaking his leg in Louisville's opener last season. The big, fast running back was the opening pick of the second day after the Raiders had nearly 12 hours to contemplate the selection.

weekend recap
GAME ONE
Oklahoma 8 Kansa
As coach Ritch Price predicted after last Wednesday's game was rained out, the Jayhawks' bats were cold in the opening game of the series. They came up with just six hits to the Sooners 13 en route to Oklahoma's eight-run routing of Kansas.
Sophomore lefty Andy Marks (3-6) was lifted in the sixth, down just two runs. Entering the fifth inning, the onslaught of Sooner runs had not even begun. Junior right-hander Andres Esquibel took over for Marks but with little success.
Esquibel surrendered four runs in 1 1/3 inning of work. Sooner starter Stephen Porlier (6-4) did just the opposite, shutting the Jayhawks down through seven innings.
Price moved into the tied spot for third all-time coaching victories at Kansas with former coach Bobby Randall, after taking gam two of the series against Oklahoma.
GAME TWO Kansas 6. Oklahoma 3
The jayhawks got on the board much earlier in round two, chalking up three in their second at
bat of the afternoon, Sophomore catcher Buck Afenir and junior second baseman Ryne Price led off the inning with walks before junior right fielder Brock Simpson knocked them both in with a triple to right-center. Designated hitter Joe Servais drove in the third run of the inning and increased the lead to 3-0.
The run support allowed sophomore lefty Nick Czyz (3-6) to earn his first conference victory of the season. Czyz gave up just two runs on six hits in his six-inning start.

FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE
In the past year, some Kansas coaches have achieved milestone victories.
Price has Kansas on track
Men's basketball coach Bill Self collected his 300th career victory and his 100th at Kansas while women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson ended Kansas' 12-game losing streak against Kansas State. And any time football coach Mark Mangino musters a victory, it's a cause for celebration.
This weekend, yet another Kansas coach earned a landmark victory at baseball coach Ritch Price surpassed Bobby Randall for third place on Kansas' all-time wins list with a 167-138-1 record. The accomplishment is just one of many for Price since he came to Kansas in 2003.
Price also reached the 100- and 150-victory plateaus at Kansas faster than all of his predecessors. His .546 winning percentage at Kansas is the highest among Jayhawk coaches with at least 100 games coached.
When he wins his 250th game at Kansas, he will move into second place on Kansas's all-time wins list. Floyd Temple holds the all-time record with 438 victories at Kansas.

"I hope I'm here long enough to get that accomplishment — second place or that first-place spot — but with an accomplishment like this, it's something I owe to my players," Price said.
With the help of his players, Price's victory against Oklahoma on Sunday was significant for another reason. It clinched Kansas' first Big
12 Conference series victory of the season as the Jayhawks (22-26, 8-13) climbed out of last place in the conference standings and inched closer to claiming a spot in the Big 12 Tournament.
To be one of the top eight teams in the Big 12, Kansas needs to finish ahead of two of three other teams battling to reach the tournament — Texas Tech (7-13), Baylor (8-13) and Kansas State (7-11).
With 10 baseball schools in the Big 12, the top eight qualify for the conference tournament. Although it took the Jayhawks seven tries to win their first Big 12 series, their ability to avoid being swept during conference play has them in a tie for eighth place and thousandths of percentage points out of seventh.
The Red Raiders, Bears and Wildcats did the Jayhawks a few favors this weekend. Texas Tech was swept and Baylor and Kansas State lost their series. The remaining series for these three schools won't get much easier, either.
Texas Tech has two more Big 12 series remaining with No. 12 Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. However, Texas Tech benefited from
the cancellation of one of its games with Texas A&M earlier this season. The Red Raiders likely would have lost that game and they're just behind Kansas and Baylor in Big 12 winning percentage as a result.
Baylor also has two more Big 12 series left with Nebraska and Kansas State. The Bears' series with the Wildcats will be pivotal in deciding who makes the tournament.
It'd be surprising if Texas Tech, Baylor and Kansas State navigated those remaining games with winning records to separate themselves from Kansas, but Kansas can't leave its tournament hopes in their hands.
With three series remaining, Kansas State can cement its place in the tournament or fall by the wayside. Kansas State will play Kansas this weekend, then No. 18 Texas A&M before taking on Baylor.
Kansas must follow its series victory against Oklahoma with another one against Kansas State. Then if Kansas can avoid a sweep at home against Nebraska and finish its Big 12 slate with, at worst, an 11-16 record, it could finish as high as seventh in the conference.
If the Jayhawks solidify a spot in the Big 12 Tournament with a late-season rally, it will speak even louder to what Price can do at Kansas than his record.

BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Center fielder Aaron Ivey led off the game with a single to center. The Sooners' leadoff man destroyed the majority of the jayhawks' staff, collecting three hits in each contest.
Second baseman Alaj Davis followed his lead with a single of his own to center field. After facing just two batters, Marcel and the jayhawks were down 1-0.
The freshman lefty struggled again in the Sooners next at bat, giving up three quick singles and another RBI in the bottom of the second. But while the Sooners were racking up hits, Marciel wasn't quite as reticent to give up runs.
Oklahoma tallied six hits in the first two innings but left three on as Marcel coaxed double-play ground outs in the first and third innings. Although he held the Sooners at bay for the most part, his four-inning outing proved fairly stressful.
Junior left fielder John Allman led off the inning with a single to left. Fellow junior Erik Morrison put him out at second base when he reached on a fielder's choice. Morrison also left the bases quickly, but for a more javhawk-friendly reason.
His offense eased the stress in top of the fourth.
With one on and one out, sophomore catcher Buck Afenir crushed a home run to left field, tying the game 2-2.
Afenir shifted a game looking to be dominated by a rolling Sooner offense and reset the momentum.
"It was huge," Price said. "With

"With the bases loaded, he gets out of it in the fifth." Price said. "Then he gets the double plays in the sixth and seventh. He was absolutely fabulous. Wally did a nice job, too."

The run that Ivey scored in the bottom of the fifth after the Sooners loaded the bases before Marceli could record an out almost swung the momentum back in Oklahoma direction.
The Esquibel who struggled in Friday's game one in Norman, Okla., was nowhere to be found as he refused to let the Sooners creep closer. He threw into another set of

Allman again led off with a hit in the seventh. This time it was a solo blast to deep center field, putting the Jayhawks up, 7-3. In the bottom of the seventh, the Jayhawk defense's fourth double play of the afternoon, the most turned in a game under Price, put Kansas back at the plate to further extend its lead.
double plays in the sixth and seventh before Kansas blew the game wide open.
The 9-3 game was out of reach by the time the Sooners chalked one more up in the bottom of the ninth. Entering the weekend 19-4 at home, the Jayhawks not only stole the show at L. Dale Mitchell Park, but they've also pulled the glimmers of the Big 12 Tournament into a clearer focus.
Senior center fielder Kyle Murphy was happy to do so. Down to the last out of the eighth, Murphy combined his power with the wind to tag his third and fourth RBI of the afternoon when he sent the long ball to left.
With no time to rest, Kansas will play host to Saint Mary at 6:30 p.m. tonight.
"Now it puts us in position where we can control our own destiny," Price said. "It won't be easy, but at least we can control our own destiny."

Sophomore catcher Elie Potterf hit a home run in the fourth inning of Sundav's game. Potterf added one run and an RBI for the Jayhawks.
SOFTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Kansas was able to close the gap to 8-2 in the fourth inning with sophomore catcher Elle Pottorf's lead-off home run that soared over the right-field fence.
Humphreys followed with a walk and advanced to third on a double by sophomore third baseman Val Chapple. With two outs, junior left fielder Betsy Wilson singled up the middle to bring in sophomore 'Erika Simington, who pinch ran for Humphreys.
Oklahoma answered in the top of the fifth with two solo home runs. The Sooners offense got four home runs from four different batters and had 14 hits.
Bunge said she was pleased with the team's relentless play in the past six games and said the team wasplaying with more confidence, energy and intensity.
"We continue to fight, no matter what the score is," Bunge said. "Our kids do not quit and I'm proud of them for hanging in there."
"It was a tough day and a tough loss on Senior Day, but I'm proud of the way we're playing," she said.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Dan Whelldon has seen too many close finishes at Kansas Speedway — from just behind the winner.
But for one of them, he might be a two-time defending IndyCar Series champion.

"We're ready to go for the big one now," said Wheldon, who won at Indy in 2005 on his way to the season points title.
It was Wheldon's second victory in four races this year and the 13th of his career. The victory gave him a shot of momentum for the race that matters most to him — the Indianapolis 500.
Milka Duno, whose debut Sunday made the race the first North American open-wheel series event with three women in the field, stayed out of trouble all day and finished 14th. Sarah Fisher was 12th.
Wheldon led 111 laps in each of his two previous Kansas City races but eventually lost both races.
