Many students work full time during the summer to pay for the school-year's expenses. The routine of waking up early, going to work and coming home to watch TV can get old. But staying in Lawrence does not have to be boring.
In addition to strolling down Massachusetts Street or going to garage sales, here are five fun, affordable activities you can do this summer without leaving Lawrence:
Clinton Lake Marina Location: Highway 10, just west of the Clinton Parkway intersection. Boat rentals: from $100 to $200
all day
Students with a free day and a group of friends can enjoy a trip to Clinton Lake Marina. Although the boat rentals can be expensive, there are many activities in which to partake.
The marina offers boat rentals for fishing, skiing and sailing.
Julie Ohse, who goes to the marina at least twice a week, said that watching the sunset or sunrise at the lake is one of the best things to do.
Lee Kennedy, Clinton Lake Marina manager, said that students should plan their paddling for weekdays to avoid crowds and receive discounts.
Bloomington East Swimming Beach
Hours of Operation: 8 p.m. to 10
p. m.
Location: Southeast side of Clinton Lake
**Price:** $1 per person; up to 4 people per car
Taking a trip to the Bloomington East swimming beach is a bit like taking a mini-road trip.
It is far enough away from the city that the trip allows for long road trip style conversation.
The beach offers more of a family environment, but students can bike and swim.
Brent Moses, a frequenter of
Bloomington Beach, advises visito to avoid the beach after rain becau of floods.
Wells Overlook Park Hours of Operation: 6 a.m. to 10
p. m.
Location: Three miles south of Lawrence along county road 458
Price: Free
Wells Overlook Park is rarely crowded. The wooden tower on top of a hill offers students a view of the entire city. Picnic tables and a small hiking trail are also available for use.
The park offers peace and quiet, but also a great romantic environment for dates. The park is not lit at night, so a day trip is the best option.
Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center
Hours of Operation: 1 p.m. to 8:45
p. m.
Location: 7th and Kentucky
Price $3.75 per student, Monthly
and seasonal passes available.
Collin Ghlebak, Rowlett, Texas senior and head lifeguard, describes the patrons of the aquatic center as "the Lawrence hometown crowd."
With two slides and a big pool, it is a fun weekend locale.
The Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center offers students a way to cool off on hot summer days.
Suzannah Gohannes, a University
graduate and pool regular, said that getting the pool pass for $16 per month is the best bet for those intending to swim often.
Ghlebak recommends going after 5 p.m. to avoid mid day crowds. If you plan to tan from 1 to 3 p.m.
Downtown Lawrence Noir Festival
Hours: First Thursday of the month starting at 8 p.m.
Location: 9th Street and New Hemisphere Street, grass area Price: Free
Starting this Thursday at 8 p.m. and continuing the first Thursday of each month, the Lawrence Noir Festival will offer live music and prizes for the public as well as a movie which will begin at 9:15 p.m.
Plan to make a whole evening out of it: Eat dinner downtown, go to the movie and maybe hit a bar afterward.
Rick Marquez, Downtown Lawrence Inc., administrator, said some restaurants will stay open late for the crowd and that downtown expects between 200 and 300 people to attend.
Marquez recommends bringing blankets and chairs.

ROSE VERDICT
Jason Allen Rose, the 21-yearold Lawrence resident charged with setting the deadly Boardwalk Apartment fires of October 2005, was found guilty on three counts of involuntary manslaughter, one count of aggravated arson and seven counts of aggravated battery on May 11.
Nicole Bingham, University of Kansas student, electrician Jose Gonzales, social worker Yolanda Riddle, died in the fire, and 20 others were injured.
Although Rose faced first-degree murder charges for the crime, the jury found that Rose had not intended to kill anyone, and optioned for the lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter. Rose faces a maximum of 122 months in prison and is scheduled for sentencing on June 18.

WESCOE HALL RENOVATIONS
The $3.5 million Wescoe Terrace construction project which started last spring, should be completed by the week's end.
Mike Carney, project superintendent, said only a few "final touches" to the exterior remained, but "mostly it's just cleaning up."
The 24,000 square-foot addition of office space for the department of history, as well as the Spanish and Portuguese departments, will alleviate crowding in Wescoe Hall.
University students, faculty and guests are reminded to steer clear of construction areas as workers near completion.

SPENCER MUSEUM OF ART'S ART APPRECIATION CLASS
The Spencer Museum of Art invites young,aspiring artists to

ROAD CLOSURE
From 7 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Saturday, Mississippi Street will be closed from Jayhawk Boulevard north to Memorial Drive while crews use a crane to replace a transformer at Lippincott Hall. Motorists and pedestrians should exercise caution when traveling near the construction area during the times listed.
"It's a way to keep the construction area safe for everybody," said Mike Miller, assistant director for Project Management with the University's Facilities Operations. Barring inclement weather, no delays are expected, Miller said.
Angie Rae Solomon, a St. Joseph, Minn., doctoral student, won $5,000 at the 2007 Naftzger Young Artists Auditions, May 4 and 5, at Wichita State University.

Two kids, a Russian tutor and a pet snake get kidnapped by 1980's-music-loving aliens wearing baseball uniforms. After being taken to Russia in a magical Geo Prism hatchback, the captives attempt to thwart the aliens' plot to "poison" a party's vodka supply with vinegar while a teenage couple attempts to re-enact the famous Romeo and Juliet death scene using a squirt gun.
This is "Alien Invasion," just one of the numerous screenplays and stories Mandy Marling, Topeka senior, wrote in her creative writing classes at the University of Kansas.
"It was just really fun to write. It's an adventure, and I'd never written an adventure before." Marling said.
Marling started writing stories in high school, but she was much more recognized for her dancing skill.
"Lots of people knew me as "The Dancer." She said. "I w.cs one of the only people that really knew how to

dance, so I was usually in the chorus line in a lot of plays."
Marling said that her diminutive stature made dancing a natural thing for her.
"I'm pretty small, so it's easy for people to pick me up and throw me and do cool stuff." She said.
When developing an idea, Marling said she lets her mood dictate what comes out in her stories.
"Comedy is fun, but I write some serious stuff too. If I'm writing something dramatic," she said. "It usually means I'm depressed or I'm trying to get something out."
One of Marling's stories centers around a teenager named "Hurricane" who shoots and kills himself on stage in front of his classmates.
"With a name like Hurricane, he had to do something dramatic," said Marling, jokingly. Still, she prefers to go for laughs rather than tears in her writing.
Marling's earlier writing habits were much more sporadic as she spent more time doing "active"
things in high school, like dancing theater, and schoolwork.
Marling began her career at the University as a theater major. After taking a few courses, Marling decided that theater wasn't for her. When an advisor in her Honors English course suggested she take a creative writing class, she changed her major and never looked back.
"I really like fiction writing," Marling said. "It's the only kind of writing there is for me. I respect non-fiction, but I like to use non-fiction to inspire fiction. It's just a lot more personal, and no matter what you write, you don't get in trouble if you call it fiction."
Marling also met lots of great people in her creative writing courses. Making new friends is a favorite activity of Marling's regardless of her surroundings, whether working at a theater camp for children, waiting tables at Paisano's or working on group projects.

》 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
KANSAN EDITOR
RSCHNEIDER@KANSAN.COM
This summer, we will continue to be your daily source for the campus and Lawrence news you care about most.
To do this, we'll be updating kansan.com daily with the latest news and sports stories. Along with the work of our reporters, be sure to check our Web site for photo galleries, audio clips and discussion in our comments section.
The reason we're doing this is simple — kansan.com, not the print edition, is the best resource we have to serve you. The future of journalism is online and The Kansan staff
is doing our best to stay ahead of the curve.
As for that print edition you're holding, you may have noticed some changes from the spring semester's paper, and even last summer. This is part of our continuing efforts to make The Kansan more reader friendly. We want to keep you up to date on how the latest campus and Lawrence news affects you, as well as let you know about upcoming events.
The best way to make sure The Kansan is as reader-friendly as possible is through open communication. We want to know your news and we want to know what you think of what we're doing. The door to my office in the newsroom in Stauffer-Flint Hall is always open. Myself, as well as the staff, would like to know what's on your mind.
Have a great summer and thanks for reading The University Daily Kansan.
》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR
E. Coli among many reasons to eat veggie burgers instead of beef
Here's yet another reason to eat veggie burgers instead of hamburgers:
Davis Creek Meats and Seafood recently recalled 129,000 pounds of potentially E. Coli-contaminated beef that was sent to distributors and retailers in Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Studies have shown that when contaminated meat is recalled only about half of it is actually recovered-the rest remains in grocery stores.
You can protect yourself and your loved ones from E. Coli and other bacteria that live in the intestinal tracts and feces of animals by leaving meat and other animal
products at the grocery store. Most farmed animals are crammed into filthy sheds and slaughtered on killing floors that are contaminated with feces and other bodily fluids. These unsanitary conditions have led to a rise in foodborne bacteria.
Plant-based foods, on the other hand, don't normally harbor E. Coli or other fecal bacteria.In fact, according to the USDA, 70 percent
of food poisoning is caused by contaminated animal flesh. When fruits or vegetables do become contaminated with E. Coli, it is because animal manure was used to fertilize crops or leaked into waterways. Cross-contamination can also occur when fruits and vegetables are placed on the same surface as meat.
As more people adopt a meatfree diet, our dependence on cows
and other farmed animals will diminish, therefore lessening the threat of E. Coli contamination-and saving human and animal lives. For more information, veggie burger recommendations and recipes, see www.GoVeg.com.

Alert system still under development
University continues work to utilize emergency text messages for students
By Maggie VanBuskirk mvanbuskirk@kansan.com
Last week's hunt for an alleged campus gunman had University of Kansas students checking their text messages. In May, Provost Richard Lariviere requested that students, along with University faculty and staff, submit telephone numbers and service providers for an emergency text messaging system.

An e-mail was sent to University students, faculty and staff notifying them of the situation. Police completed their search and said there was no evidence of a threat.
On the morning of June 1, a University of Kansas employee reported seeing a man carrying what he thought was a rifle on campus. University of Kansas Public Safety officers, Lawrence Police Department and the Douglas County Sheriff's Department responded to the call. Officers searched

According to Mike Reid, director of marketing for Kansas Memorial Unions, text messaging is the quickest way to contact students because of the number of cell phones on campus today. Reid estimates that 90 percent of the student population carry cell phones, making it a faster tool than computer e-mail for releasing emergency information.

Coverage of Friday's security scare
Friday's first emergency e-mail had a 40-minute delay because of a coincidental maintenance test being performed on the University's computer system at the same time the events were unfolding. Bretz said.
"We are in the process of developing the system," Bretz said. "We have to have everyone's cell phone number and carriers for it to work, and that information is still being collected."

Lariviere's e-mail was sent on the last day of spring classes. Despite the late request for emergency contact information, more than 5,000
students have submitted the information. Bretz said it was a good start but the University still needs student cooperation.
Robert Turvey, director of student information systems, said the University will promote the need for students to update and add emergency contact information more prominently on Enroll & Pay.
The emergency text messaging system is scheduled to begin in
sports and educational departments. Building closings and changes in bus schedules may also be sent.

》 ROTC
Enlistment remains steady
By Joe Caponio jcaponio@kansan.com
University officials said that the number of students enrolling in the Army ROTC program has not changed since President Bush's implementation of a major troop deployment to Iraq.
Maj. Gary Farley, assistant professor of military science and operations officer in the Army ROTC program, said that other than a spike shortly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the number of students who joined and completed the program has remained fairly steady since then.
15 students graduated from the Army ROTC program in both 2006 and 2007, and program officials expect that number to increase to 18 in 2008.
"We haven't seen much change at all," Maj. Farley said.
In his January State of the Union address, President Bush announced his intention to send an additional 21,000 troops to Iraq. According to the Congressional Budget Office, that number could eventually grow to 48,000, raising the total number of U.S. troops in Iraq to more than 180,000.
Maj. Farley said that part of the reason students aren't being discouraged by the push to send more troops to Iraq is that the students are still months away from facing the possibility of deployment.
"I don't think that what's going on over there has a great impact on a student who is set on joining," Maj. Farley said.
The completion of the ROTC program is just the first of three phases that each cadet must complete. While in the ROTC program, the cadets are taught military values, problem solving skills and ethics through various activities.
Following graduation from the University, the cadet is sent to a four-week training session at either Fort Sill, Okla., or Fort Benning, Ga. where they learn basic tactical leadership skills.
The third and final phase for cadets is officer basic training. This is a three-to-six month program where the soldiers learn the specialized skills needed for their specific branches and jobs.
Matt Fortier, Overland Park senior, said that becoming an officer in the U.S. Army is something he has wanted to do since childhood.

Replay named as one of country's 50 best bars
By Ben Smith
REPLAY Rabbit Rabbit
bsmith@kansan.com
The Replay Lounge was featured as one of the top 50 bars in America in a recent article by Esquire magazine. The Replay Lounge is located at 946 Massachusetts St.
Jon Goering/KANSAN
With crashes and clatters bringing about cheers and encouragement, patrons of the Replay Lounge send softballs hurling at blue and white beer cans arranged in the manner of bowling pins.
Pinball inspired murals decorate the walls, and memorabilia from The Simpsons and Spinal Tap hang over the bar. The Replay, 946 Massachusetts St., has served Lawrence residents as an arcade, bar and live-music venue since it opened in 1993.
Esquire Magazine named the Replay in its second-annual listing of "The Best Bars in America" in its June issue. The list included 49 other bars throughout the country, as some of "those harmonious and radiant places that serve us drinks, keep us company, and put up with our regrettable behavior."
Steve Topping, a Replay regular, said it was only fitting that the Replay be recognized on a list of the best bars in the United States.
With weekly events like Pabst Blue Ribbon Bowling, the Replay's patrons and bartenders participate in back-patio sports while waiting for the almost nightly musical entertainment to arrive and set up.
Roy "Buddy" Kite, an assistant editor at Esquire, said that he and other staff writers and editors for the magazine pooled together their backgrounds to write the article about venues like the Replay.
"We have guys from all over the
country, which is a pretty helpful resource," Kite said. "We also reached out to all of our freelancers all over the country."
The Esquire list included such bars as John D. McGurk's in St. Louis and The Red Key in Indianapolis. Kite said that the editors of Esquire intended to highlight the qualities of a good bar and compile a helpful list for travelers.
"Any place that is inviting and comfortable and caters to the local community is a good bar and that varies a great deal from city to city," Kite said.
Magazine editors reached out to several writers in Kansas for input as to which bars were worthy of consideration. "The name, Replay Lounge, kept coming up," Kite said. "It seemed different from what youd expect of a bar in Kansas."
Kite said that one of the deciding factors was the Replay's diversity as a live-music venue.
"We just kept hearing about how strong a music pull it had," Kite said.
Competent bar tenders, reasonable prices, good food and a tasteful lineup of music were all taken into consideration when deciding which watering holes would make the grade, Kite said.
Topping said that Lawrence was the perfect place to find the best bar in Kansas.
"Probably 15 bars in Lawrence could have made it on the list," Topping said. "The Bottleneck, The Granada, Harbour Lights, Louise's, Quinton's, dot-dot-dot. The bottom
line is that they looked in all 50 states and picked only one bar in each one."
Jason Supernaw, bartender at the Red Lyon Tavern, said he felt that some of the Replay's good attributes included the patio area as well as the drink prices and the music.
"It's a really nice place to drink with a lot of cool people," Supernaw said.
He declined to say anything negative about the Replay on account of
Kite said that Esquire is planning on expanding the online list to provide a forum allowing reader commentary making the list interactive and "more democratic."

Nick Carroll, owner of the Replay, said that though the writers of the article had never actually come to the bar, he was proud and honored that his bar had been mentioned.
Libby sentenced to prison for 30 months in leak case
WASHINGTON — Former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison Tuesday for lying and obstructing the CIA leak investigation.
Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, stood calmly before a packed courtroom as a federal judge said the evidence overwhelmingly proved his guilt and left the courthouse without commenting.
Libby was convicted in March of lying and obstructing an investigation into the 2003 leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.
ROANOKE, Va. — The neo-Gothic building where a gunman killed 30 people and himself on the Virginia Tech campus will be reopened for offices and laboratories, but will never again be used for classrooms, the university announced Tuesday.
Virginia Tech's Norris Hall to reopen as offices
Norris Hall will open June 18 for the engineering science and mechanics and civil and environmental engineering departments.

The second floor classrooms where the victims were gunned down will remain closed.
Fourth suspect in JFK plot surrenders in Trinidad
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad — A Guyanese suspect in an alleged plot to attack New York's John F. Kennedy Airport surrendered to police Tuesday in Trinidad, a police official said.
Abdel Nur turned himself in at a police station outside the Trinidadian capital of Port-of-Spain, police spokeswoman Wendy Campbell told The Associated Press.
Nur is the fourth man in custody in the allege plot to blow up fuel lines that feed the airport. Two
other men are already in custody in Trinidad and the fourth is in the United States.
PRAGUE, Czech Republic — President Bush risked further stoking a testy dispute with Russia over a new U.S. missile defense system on Tuesday, saying Moscow has "derailed" once-promising democratic reforms.

Wakarusa brings tunes and smiles to music lovers and businesses alike
Green energy, sustainability prime issues at concerts
By Sam Carlson
scarlson@kansan.com
This year's Wakarusa Music & Camping Festival will focus on more than great music. For brief periods
throughout the four-day festival, the environment will steal the spotlight.
"One of the biggest changes this year will be on environmental sustainability,"said Heather Lofflin, media coordinator for the event.
"It's to get people to start thinking about where our energy comes from."

The festival has partnered with Zephyr Energy of Lawrence to launch a "sustainability symposium," according to a news release from the company. Speakers will give presentations on such environmental topics as coal-fired energy and wind energy in between selected acts.
SARAH HILL-NELSON Zephyr energy representative
Recycling at the event will also be emphasized, Lofflin said.
"We anticipate doing twofold the amount of recycling we did last year," she said.
The festival has purchased from Zephyr Energy what are known as Green Tags, which offer renewable
energy, however, will be clean, in the form of either wind or solar energy.
"It's to get people to start thinking about where our energy comes from," said Sarah Hill-Nelson, a Zephyr energy representative.
"One of the themes were trying to stress is that living sustainably can be fun"
Other changes
The festival aims to be more user-friendly with help from customer service representatives known as St. Bernards. Lofflin said that these "roaming information booths" will answer any question a patron might have, from "where's the closest bathroom?" to a need for first aid.
For those patrons looking for a little extra relaxation, yoga classes will be offered in the morning, said
Dave Barrett, a festival coordinator. Hanuman, a famous yoga instructor, will lead the exercises from 8 to 11 every morning.
But all of the extra activities have not taken away from the main goal of the festival: providing musical entertainment. More than 100 bands are scheduled to perform on six stages over the course of four days.
Ben Harper, Widespread Panic and the Yonder Mountain String Band are considered some of the festival's highlights.
"I think you'll find that every genre is represented," Barrett said of the lineup.
The diversity of the music could be one reason the festival has gained attention around the world.
Tickets have been sold in all 50 states and five foreign countries, including Germany, Japan, Australia, South Korea and England, Barrett said.
"Lawrence is really on a national stage for four days," he said.
Although tickets for the festival are not sold out, Barrett recommends getting tickets as early as possible.
A four-day pass, as well as passes for individual days, can be purchased at www.wakarusa.com.

AR Ale
By Tyler Harbert tharbert@kansan.com
Jam band fans aren't the only people who enjoy the annual Wakarusa Music Festival.
Local restaurants, hotels and liquor store employees are ready for an expected increase in business this weekend thanks to the festival.
"We get a pretty big spike and just about double our normal weekend business," said Derron McMorris, manager of Parkway Wine and Spirits, located at 23rd and Kasold streets.
Because of its proximity to the four-day-long festival at Clinton Lake, McMorris said his store prepared for the coming slew of music lovers by scheduling additional
workers and over-ordering some products, such as New Belgium and Pabst Blue Ribbon brand beers.
He said the store did even more business two years ago, before stricter regulations banned glass containers at the festival.
Matt Dolly, Lawrence resident and store clerk at Parkway Wine and Liquor, stocks a display in the store in preperation for the Wakarusa crowds. The location of the liquor store on Clinton Parkway makes it a popular stop for people attending the festival.
"A lot of them are dirty and they haven't showered because they've been out there for days at a time," he said. "It never gets wild, just a little bit more people."
McMorris, who has worked at the liquor store for two years, said the all-day crowd at his store has never been a problem, smells aside.

"Last year, if it wasn't nailed down they took it," Jennifer Larsen,
The cost of a room for one night at the Hallmark Inn during the festival was $79.95,$20 more than any other weekend night. The reason for the price increase, she said, was to make up for the mess festival goers left behind them.
"They were a little bit messier," Larsen said. "Yeah, we had quite a party at our pool last year."
She said with the large number of visitors coming in, proximity to the festival did not affect hotel business.
"There aren't that many hotel rooms for events like this here,"
she said.
Location is the number one reason Everardo Cazares's business gets a boost during the yearly festival.

Wakarusa, however, isn't just any festival, Genauer said.
"It's been a great way to get in front of a lot of people who have a predisposed liking to our style of music," he said, adding that the beautiful setting of Clinton Lake State Park enhances the experience.

Sarah Sims, a 2007 University graduate, is an employee at Sunrise Garden Center, 1501 Learnard Ave., which traded a variety of plants to be used in backstage and VIP areas at the festival in exchange for tickets to the festival.
Sims, a Lawrence native, said the majority of her money for the festival will be spent on beer. She said she will be staying overnights on Wakarusa campgrounds, but she said that many other festival goers will be coming into town to spend the evening.

The band "Assembly of Dust" will perform Saturday from 3:15 to 4:15 p.m. at the Campground Stage. They will perform again Sunday from noon to 1 p.m. at the Sun Down Stage.
the group's music is uncertain, the origin of the band's name is also a bit unclear.
"I would categorize it as uplifting and fairly happy music. It's not all that dark. I felt like the band needed a little darkness," Genauer said of the choice of name.
The band released their newest album, Recollection, in March.
Genauer said there's no substitute for watching them live.
"I think you get a more true read on the band by seeing us live," he said.
Assembly of Dust will play Saturday from 3:15 to 4:15 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 1 p.m. Tickets are still available at www.wakarusa.com.

PROFILE (CONTINUED FROM 4)
"I love meeting new people," said Marling. "Meeting new people is like exploring the world. I really want to get to know them. I ask lots of questions. I don't just want to know what they're like, I want to know why."
Angela McNulty, Olathe senior,
and Marling's co-worker at Paisano's,
said that Marling's personality allows
her to make friends easily.
"She's very outgoing and talkative. She's always laughing and making jokes," said McNulty. "At work she'll always be in a good mood, even when none of us want to be there. She makes the best out of a bad situation."
Meeting new people is also a method to generate new stories. "Real life inspires most of my stories," said Marling. "I like to pay attention to the quirky things about
people and smash them all together for a story."
Marling hasn't had any of her work published, although that's not a pressing concern. Ultimately, she writes for one audience.
"I write for me. Outside of writing, I don't think I'm very creative. Everyone has a recreation that makes them feel good. Writing is what I do."

ROTC (CONTINUED FROM 6)
"Our disposition in Iraq does not act in any way as a deterrent to my enrollment in ROTC," he said.
Sgt. 1st Class Antonio Talbert, a recruiter at the Lawrence Army National Guard Recruiting Center, 2223 Louisiana St., said that much like the ROTC program on campus, the recruiting center hasn't seen any
drop off in enlistments since the announcement of the troop surge.
"It's not just about Iraq,it's about wanting to be a soldier and taking advantage of the benefits that the service offers." Sgt. 1st class Talbert said,"People who join up do it to protect the freedoms of their country and their kids and their grandkids. That doesn't change, regardless of what conflicts are going on."

》FOOTBALL COMPLEX CONSTRUCTION
Stadium addition removes, will replace trees
MAT STADIUM 4A OTTO CHNELLSACHAN
By Dylan Schoonover
dschoonover@kansan.com
Construction crews work to clear trees around Memorial Stadium. The construction of the new football facilities has resulted in the removal of more than 100 trees.
The $31 million-dollar expansion of practice fields, weight rooms, and coaches offices at Memorial Stadium is destroying more than 100 trees in the area, including nearly a dozen oaks and maples that are almost 60 years old.
The University plans to plant more than 200 trees for the loss incurred during construction. Mark Reiske, associate director of design and construction management, said the campus will be more beautiful once the landscaping is completed.
"We are going to plant two or three trees for every one lost," Reiske said. "We will try to replace all the hardwoods that are being cut down."

Even so, the construction has angered those who picnic in the area and even enjoy climbing the trees.
Andrew Flanery, Kansas City, Kan. senior and president of the KU Tree- Climbing Club said he was saddened by the loss of the trees in that area because his club enjoyed climbing the large specimens.
"The football team is already treated like royalty," Flanery said. "I don't think they needed that large of an area for football."
Despite the frustration of losing acres of natural landscape, he said they will continue to climb throughout campus. Flanery also said he was pleased that his group wouldn't lose the entire climbing area south of Memorial Stadium where many of the larger trees are located. The University has taken extra measures to diminish the loss of the older oak and maple trees. A promised $414,000 is expected for landscaping replacement, with $200,000 of that directly going to tree replacement.
University Architect, Warren Corman, said he hates to see the trees fall, but the limited space for the project didn't leave them a better option during the design stages. He said that not everything could be saved when reconstructing nearly 35 acres of land.
"Cutting down trees, especially old ones is a pet peeve of mine," Corman said. "But you can't have a tree in the middle of a practice field."
Corman said one of the primary
goals of the addition was to save practice time. He said the team lost nearly one quarter of their allotted practice
time every day due to the busing back and forth between the old practice fields southwest of Allen Fieldhouse and the football stadium.
"The NCAA only allows so much time for practice and coach felt losing that to transportation really hurt,"
Corman said. "Other Big 12 schools like Kansas State and Oklahoma have their facilities all together and KU should too."

Along with the loss of trees, Mississippi Street will be closed from Jayhawk Boulevard to
9th Street while a new lane for bus transit will be put in and is planned to be complete by the fall.
University spokesman, Todd
"When everything is complete we hope to have a bigger and more complete area around the stadium."
Cohen, said the temporary inconvenience will greatly benefit campus transportation in the long run.

Rush's surgery successful Leading scorer's rehabilitation to begin immediately
By Dylan Schoonover
dschoonover@kansan.com
Kansas basketball fans can be optimistic of Brandon Rush's recovery process following successful surgery on the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
Kansas coach Bill Self said in a press release that he was pleased by the results of the surgery and expected Rush to begin rehab immediately.
"The surgery couldn't have gone any better," Self said. "Brandon is
well on the road to recovery."
Before Self's announcement that Rush had torn his ACL, Rush said that his knee injury in a pick-up game did not play a part in his decision to return to school.
Rush announced that he was pulling his name out of the NBA draft on Friday, May 25. The next week, word came out that Rush had torn his ACL.
This past year Rush was an All-Big 12 first team member and John Wooden Award All-American. He also was the team's leading scorer
with 13.8 points per game and second on the team in rebounding with 5.6 boards per contest.
With the return of Rush, the Jayhawks will have 13 of 14 players back from last year's Elite Eight squad that went 33-5.
"We have a great team returning and I love my teammates," Rush said in a release. "The people at Kansas and the fans have treated me so well. It is hard to pass up the opportunity to experience another year of that."

In his freshman season, Arthur averaged 9.8 points a game and led the team with 56 blocks.
"I love it when players from our program get selected to try out for a national team," coach Bill Self said in a statement. "This will be a great experience for Darrell to play against some solid competition and learn some valuable lessons from head coach Jerry Wainwright. Hopefully he makes the team and gets the opportunity to represent the country."

Pan-American Games choose Jayhawks for tryout
Guards Sherron Collins and Mario Chalmers have both been selected to tryout for USA basketball men's Pan-Americat Games team. The tryouts are at Haverford College in Pennsylvania and will be held July 12-14.
"Sherron and I have been going extra hard ever since we got the call." Chalmers said. "This is going to be a great opportunity for us against some very tough competition."
Last season, Chalmers was the co-Big 12 defensive player of the
year, leading the conference in steals for the second straight year. In his freshman season, Collins averaged 11.3 points a game in Big 12 play.
Self acknowledged junior guard Brandon Rush's recently tcn ACL.
"This is a great opportunity for Mario and Sherron but unfortunately Brandon was not able to try out due to his injury," Kansas head coach Bill Self said in a statement. "It's a stacked squad and both of them are going to have to be in great shape and play very well in order for them to make this team."
Team USA will be coached by Villanova coach Jay Wright.

NATIONAL RANKING
Architecture school honored
By Joe Caponio jcaponio@kansan.com
The University of Kansas School of Architecture and Urban Design has been named as the best architecture program in the Midwest by a private firm that analyzes the field.
The firm, DesignIntelligence, also listed the University's architecture program as the sixth best in the country in its eighth annual rankings.
John Gaunt, dean of the School of Architecture, said that although accurate rankings were difficult to formulate for architecture programs because of the field's subjective nature, he was happy the University's program is being honored.
"It's always nice to be recognized, no matter what," Gaunt said.
DesignIntelligence comprised the rankings by questioning various professional architecture firms about recent graduates from various universities.
Gaunt said he thought the program was chosen as the best in the Midwest for several reasons.
"I think that our graduate programs, highly-qualified faculty, excellent students and study abroad program all contribute to our reputation," he said.
Keith Diaz Moore, associate professor and chair of architecture, said that preparing students for future changes in the field was a major point of focus in the school's programs.
"We try to get students as much exposure as possible to real world situations," Diaz Moore said.
Diaz Moore said he hoped being named a top school by DesignIntelligence will allow the school to make more connections throughout the profession.

A touch of Irish
However, he said that he did not think being named the best architecture school in the Midwest will help the program recruit more elite students because the school already receives applications from qualified applicants.
Michael Swann, associate dean of the School of Architecture, said more than 700 students applied for 28 available studio spots in the school for the fall semester. Accepted applicants had an average GPA of 3.97, and most had ACT scores in the high 20s or low 30s.
"It is helpful because there are so many styles, types, sizes or ways of designing architecture, so having so many professors specialized in different areas really helps the students get a balanced education and find out what they want to do," Luk said.
Kai Sun Luk, Hong Kong senior and architecture student, said that he thought the school's faculty is what set the program apart from other architecture schools.
Gaunt said that the honor is important as it confirms that the school's students were being seen in a good light by the people who matter the most.

Students risk coverage lapse
Switching insurance providers may prove tricky to some
By Susan Schwarz

Rebecca Goldberg, Dallas graduate, faces two surgeries and a gap in her health insurance.
"My job doesn't insure me until I have been employed there a month."
Goldberg said. "And my parents insurance drops me the first day of employment."
Goldberg said she thought she was safe because she had employment lined up after graduation. She did not know there would be a gap in her cover-

age. Goldberg said she could not afford complications from her surgeries this summer as the financial burden would be too much.
"They think nothing is going to happen," Davis said, "then something does and they are out ten or 12,000 dollars."
"Most students are covered under their parents' insurance so not a lot of people have to think about it."
Tomlinson said he would like to
MAI DO Marketing coordinator, Student Health Services
Bob Tomlinson, deputy commissioner for the Kansas Department of Insurance, said insurance companies drop students from their parents' policies anywhere between the ages of 22 and 24, but some as low as 21.
Mike Davis , senior vice president of the Alumni Association, said the main reason the Alumni Association provides health insur-
see graduates taking interest in both their health insurance and their health.
Many students' lack of insurance may be caused by what to mollson called "under-employment".
Students facing a lack of immediate employment are not able to find their ideal jobs after graduation. These students often face a lack of health coverage, Tomlinson said.
Though Tomlinson said the department would like to have incentive programs for these employers to provide health care, he said he was unable to mandate employers to provide health care because the mandate would cause employers to simply eliminate jobs without provided health care.
Mai Do, marketing coordinator for Student Health Services, said that health insurance is not high on the list of priorities for KU graduates.
"Most students are covered under their parents' insurance so not a lot of people have to think about it." Do said.
Do said that recent graduates should think ahead about their insurance coverage.
"It should be something they look ahead for," Do said. "Not something they look for on an 'as needed' basis."
Jessica Studin, Alabama graduate, will attend the University of Georgia in the fall for her graduate degree. Studin said she thought she was still covered as a full-time student under her parents' policy but she said she was unsure of her coverage because her parents handled her insurance.
University of Kansas students have the option of receiving health insurance through the University for the duration of their time spent at school. The health coverage, underwritten by MEGA Life and Health Insurance Company, is available through Watkins Memorial Health Center, east of Robinson Center.

Festival goers stay awake into early morning hours

When Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals closed out the Sun Down Stage around midnight Friday at the Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival, the show was far from over.
Around 2 a.m., Yonder Mountain String Band finished their set at the Revival Tent, and thousands of festival attendees had to make a choice: sleep or stay up?
"I'll probably stay up until 5 or 6 and chill around the fire," said Kenny Holloway, a 19-year-old from Miami Beach, Fla.
Holloway wasn't about to call it a night after seeing Yonder, one of his favorite bands. He wanted to get the most experience for his money, and he was arguably getting a good deal. "I got tickets to the whole four-day show for a pack of smokes," he said.
He said his friend ordered her tickets in advance, received them in the mail, and then craftily picked up an additional set of tickets in the will call line when she arrived at the festival. She then traded the extra tickets to Holloway for a $4 pack of Camel Lights.
Holloway had a good time seeing Yonder thanks to the box office's mistake. "They rocked out dude."
Holloway didn't bring a tent to the campgrounds, but he was equipped with a blanket and a pillow so he could "sleep wherever." He found a temporary home with friends parked in a campground located where two of the festival's adopted street names

"I'm going to go back to 5th and Crazy and get a little more crazy," Holloway said.

intersect.
Volunteers run the booth during the festival, helping people search for lost and found items and answering festival goers' questions.
"The big two questions are schedules and water," said Bailey, a Lawrence resident.
The Sunshine Cafe and Catering booth, also near the Revival Tent, was still serving turkey legs, rice and bratwurst at 2:30 a.m. Worker Wayne Tortora was happy any time even a single customer stopped by the booth for a snack. "I was getting lonely man," Tortora said to a customer in a gray hooded sweatshirt who purchased a bratwurst.
Tortora said he, his boss and one other worker split up booth shifts during the festival for as long as 19 hours each. He said the booth was busiest during breakfast, lunch and dinner hours, and he said he had already turned down the propane tank that heated the deep silver serving trays that held the food.
He said as long as he made $80 an hour in sales he would keep the booth open, even if that meant all night. The majority of his customers this late were "probably either insomniacs or intoxicated," he said.
Tortora, who lives in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., guessed he would probably close the booth around 6 a.m., Saturday. Then he too would make the decision to either "stay up, hang out or pass out," he said.
The choice was clear at 3:45 a.m., for Branden Day, who arrived at the festival Thursday morning from Montrose, Iowa. "I got something to eat," he said, "and I'm passed out."
He lay deep within a fold-up chair under a tree at his campsite, drank his final beer of the night, and said that day he had seen "a lot of good shows and cool people."
Sonja Bjordad was still going strong, smoking a cigarette with a group of about 50 campers who surrounded a fire pit in the Campground Village section at 4:30 a.m.
"You get energy when you come to a festival," she said.
Bjordad arrived at Wakarusa around the time Ben Harper finished his set Friday night. The massage therapist from Duluth, Minn., said she came strictly to hear Widespread Panic Saturday night.
She didn't bring a tent and said she had "no idea where I'll sleep."
When the dawn began to rise above the trees that surround Clinton Lake around 5 a.m., Saturday, many eyes were still open to see it.

Lead singer finds balance
The Kansan sits down with Assembly of Dust's frontman
By Sam Carlson scarlson@kansan.com
Assembly of Dust hails from New York and New Hampshire. The band was scheduled to arrive Friday night, which would have left plenty of time before their 3:15 p.m. show Saturday. However, the group's flight was cancelled and they didn't get into Lawrence until Saturday morning.
The Kansan caught up with frontman Reid Genauer after the band's performance on Saturday.
Genauer, 35, lives in Manhattan, N.Y.
Kansan: Are most of your shows on the East Coast?
Genauer: Yes and no. That's definitely where our core fan base is from, but we play all over.
Kansan: Do you notice any difference between this year's festival and last year's?
Genauer: Hard to say. I got here before the set and just had time to knock back a water.
Genauer: I have a one-year-old son and a wife.
Kansan: Do you have any family?
Kansan: How does traveling affect family life?
Genauer: I try to balance it so I'm not gone too much. I definitely enjoy watching the little
critter grow. But I've been doing this for a lot of years and my wife has been with me for most of them, so she sort of gets it. She's pretty tolerant.
Kansan: How often do you guys perform?
Kansan: How did the band come together?
Genauer: We do probably 70 gigs a year.
Genauer: All of us were friends, so we knew each other already. I think we all share a similar musical aesthetic, and that's the point of commonality.
Genauer: It's hard to say. We're from the Northeast and there's a little more fervor and intensity in the Northeast. That's just how people are. In places that are far from home, there tends to be more inquisitive looks from people.
Kansan: Do you notice any differences between the people here and those from other locations at which you play?
Genauer: Next week we're in Maine and then the weekend after that, I forget where we are. But we've got a lot more festivals this summer.
Kansan: What does the immediate future hold for Assembly of Dust?
Kansan: As for followers, do you recognize people in the crowd?
--years past. Wempe said this may be attributed to the publicity of law enforcement at last years' festival.
Genauer. Absolutely. Even from festival to festival, there are people I've seen that I know from Massachusetts here, and there are people I've seen from California within four feet of where we're standing. It's kind of cool. But it's really cool to come to Kansas and see an audience full of people singing the words back to you. It's really rewarding.
Kansan: Do you think you'd like to come back next year?
Genauer: Absolutely. This is what it's all about. Part of the reason that festivals are so great, and this one in particular, is that people are here for the music. They're going to catch a buzz as well, but primarily it's music fanatics. It's really gratifying to play to a lawn full of people who are there to soak it in.
Kansan: How do you determine which songs you're going to play for a given act?
Genauer: We try to mix it up. It's almost like what you have for dinner every night. You try to have a balanced night, and so we try to do that with our set list. We try to include slow songs, ballads and more up-tempo tunes, and tunes that have a guitar solo versus a keyboard solo.
Illegal drug activity down at Wakarusa Festival

Police officers saw less illegal activity at the Wakarusa Festival this year.
Kari Wempe from the Douglas County Sherrif's Office said the officers did not see the same amount of drug use or intent to sell as in
"I think there was a presence out their last year," Wempe said. "We set a level of expectation. We have laws we are going to maintain."

》 LOCAL TRANSIT
City bus system could see change
By Alaide Vilchis avilchis@kansan.com
Students might not have the option to buy a Lawrence bus pass through KU on Wheels next semester because of a budget crisis in the City of Lawrence.
Currently, students are able to get a year-long pass to ride "The T" by paying an additional $25 when purchasing a University bus pass.
Cliff Galante, Lawrence public transit administrator, said the program might "disappear" as a way to increase funding for the Lawrence
bus system by $450,000 next year.
The possible end of the program, which is currently used by 300 students, was discussed Tuesday night The public transit advisory committee met to make its recommendations to the city commission.
"Based in our budget challenges and considering that such a small percentage of the general student population really utilizes that service really it doesn't make sense for the city to continue to offer those kinds of discounts," Galante said.

Because of changes to the city's bus system, "The T", students might not have the option to purchase a "T" pass with a KU on Wheels in the fall. Eliminating the program could increase funding for the bus system by $450,000.
One of the alternatives to replace the special discount for University
students is a reduced fare.

"Students will definitely be affected by the changes," Miller said. "Ridership might very well decrease because of this."
Galante said that if the city commission does not find the money to fund "The T" next year, the transportation system will have to cut Saturday bus services, reduce hours and service area.
This reduction in prices, however, might not help students' pockets much if the city commission passes another suggestion for funding of "The T." The transit department has suggested that buses change their fares from 50 cents to $1, the same cost as a ride on the University buses.
Larry Miller, bus driver of route eight, which travels through campus, said that about 60 percent of the people who ride his bus are students.
The bus would stop running at 6 p.m. instead of 8 p.m. Buses would run on 80-minute intervals compared to the current 40 minutes.
@
Era'me Spearman, Kansas City, Kan., senior, said she depends on "The T" to go to work during the summer and said her schedule would have to change drastically to accommodate any changes.
- Results from Tuesday night's city commission meeting
said. "I would have to get ready earlier, and leave my house earlier and I just wouldn't want to do that."
KANSAN.COM
"I don't want to sit there and wait at the bus stop for long to catch another bus to go to work." Spearman
May Davis, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said it was too soon to tell if the possible budget cuts would affect the talks about closer cooperation between University and Lawrence buses.
According to the city budget calender, the city commission will release "The T's" budget for next fiscal year by the end of this summer.
Galante said that although the budget deficit would not affect the efforts of the two transit systems to cooperate it might affect the services they can provide together.

Rebecca Smith, director of public relations and advancement for KU libraries, said the new library signage is part of a broader service quality initiative that focuses on increasing staff training and expanding services.
"The goal is to provide top quality customer service," Smith said. "We
want to ensure the directional and informational signs are useful for students, faculty and staff and are as easy to use as possible."

The signage committee will use information gathered from surveys to create a proposal to present to Lorraine J. Haricombe, dean of KU libraries. Components of the proposal will be implemented this fall as recommendations
"We want to ensure the directional and informational signs are useful for students, faculty and staff and are as easy to use as possible."
REBECCA SMITH Director of Public Relations, KU Libraries
updates will occur throughout the 2007 school year and students welcome the improvement.
Jimmy Haver, Tulsa, Okla., senior
and funding are approved.
Sarah Couch, KU libraries service policy coordinator and head of the signage committee said she hopes to have new directory signs in Watson by the beginning of Hawk week in August.
Further improvements involve restrooms, payphones, workstations, stacks and collection signs. These
said he has trouble finding certain things in the library stacks.
"It will be beneficial for people who are unfamiliar with the library," he said.
Despite slower University traffic in the summer, Couch said there
are still many students, faculty and visitors on campus who can provide feedback.
Summer survey responses may be used for temporary, paper-based replacement signs in the fall. The larger student population can then provide input on the signs.

>> A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
Graduation special section contained name errors
We at The Kansan have received numerous phone calls and e-mails about our graduation special section that was printed at the end of the spring semester. At issue was the number of names — or lack thereof — of candidates for graduation. After consulting with spring editor Gabriella Souza, I'd like to offer an explanation as to why many names didn't appear in print. In fact, there are a few reasons why some of the names didn't appear in the section.
The first explanation is that some students didn't check the box at the bottom of the graduation application that allowed the University of Kansas to use
BY RYAN SCHNIEIDER
KANSAN EDITOR
RSCHNEIDER@KANSAN.COM
their name for promotional use. That promotional and media use includes The Kansan's graduation special section. The second explanation is that some students didn't apply for graduation before May 1.
There's another problem that Kansan editors discovered after
ed. Many names throughout the section — and in various schools and colleges — aren't in alphabetical order. So, if a name wasn't where you expected it, there's a chance it was there—just not in alphabetical order. We're not exactly sure why this error occurred, but we'll try in the future to make sure it doesn't happen.
If not seeing your name in the graduation section caused any undue worry or stress, we certainly apologize. As always, The Kansan welcomes your questions or comments about the job we're doing.

KANSAS UNION
Business slow during summer
By Ben Smith
bsmith@kansan.com
Now that summer classes have begun, rhythm has returned to the Kansas Memorial Union, although it is a rhythm different from the steady traffic of the fall and spring semesters.
Emily Willis, owner of the Salon Hawk, said that for the first two weeks following the end of classes in May she had to look out the window to make sure that the world hadn't ended.
"The only person I saw was the FedEx guy," Willis said.
With the general student population diminished after spring classes let out, Willis said that business was slower.
"We seem to squeak by in the summer," Willis said. "But business picks up again in August."
Ruth Lichtwardt, a 19-year employee of Oread Books, said though traffic is generally slower in the summer, it is far from dead.
"We'll have large groups of people who come for New Student Orientation," she said. "A lot of people who haven't come through before are trying to learn their way around because they're new."
With books on display that discuss college survival and getting through freshman year, Oread Books caters
to the incoming students.
"In the summer we sell a lot of Lawrence maps and give away a lot of campus maps." Lichtwardt said.
Sales in general are lower, however with the decrease in campus population. Lightward said that business is "more sporadic during the summer with little lulls and bursts."
Rebecca Swearingen, business manager with Union Programs, said that though the summers are slower, that doesn't mean that nothing is going on.
"Full-time employees are just as busy in the summer time as they are in the spring and fall," she said. "We can actually set and focus on one project as opposed to multitasking.

Justin Skinner, a cashier at the Kansas Memorial Union, waits for customers to come through his line Tuesday morning. Summer classes and new student orientations help business in the summer.

With fewer students coming in, Swearingen said it was a good time for the full-time Union employees to
settle in and begin focusing on planning for the upcoming year.

》RENOVATIONS
Construction of Wescoe offices completed
By Andy Greenhaw editor@kansan.com
The University of Kansas completed its construction of a $3.5 million addition to Wescoe Hall last week.
The University converted and enclosed the southwest side of
Wescoe that faces Budig Hall into two floors of office space, which adds about 24,000 square feet to the inside of the building. Construction began last summer and took nearly a year to complete.
Steve Scannell, assistant director of the design and construction management department, said the addition was made to accommodate 80 to 100 new faculty.
"People are starting to move in now," Scannell said as he helped with elevator inspections last week. "I think move-ins will be done by Monday, June 18, but they may be finished sooner."
Jon Goering/KANSAN
The renovations on Wescoe are almost complete, and faculty began moving in to their new offices this summer. The Spanish and Portuguese department faculty have moved to level 2 1/2.
Most of the Spanish and Portuguese department is moving to the second floor of the newly constructed wing. The third floor will be the new home for most of the history department. The philosophy department will occupy some of the Spanish department's old location on the third floor, and the English administrative offices will use the history department's vacated space on the third floor.
"The new area for the English department will have only one entrance with a receptionist to guide students where they need to go," said James Gunn, a professor in the English department. "The new area should be a lot more efficient and easier to interact with students."

Alyssa George won the 2007 Miss Kansas title last weekend at Pratt Community College in Pratt, outshining 21 contestants over a weeklong session of talent showcasing competitions and on-stage interviews.
George, Minneapolis, Kan., senior represented Sedgwick County in the competition. In addition to her title as Miss Kansas, George will receive a $5,000 scholarship and also earned the opportunity to represent the Sunflower state in the Miss America competition.
"I am still shocked and amazed at the opportunity I have in front of me," George said. George was in Wichita on Monday where she began her yearlong tour as Miss Kansas. This was George's third year as a Miss Kansas contest, having also competed in 2004 and 2005.
“This year my goal was to make the top five," George said. "I didn't

Alyssa George, Minneapolis, Kan., senior is crowned as the 2007 Miss Kansas by 2006 Miss Kansas Michelle Walthers on June 9. George, a member of the Chi Omega sorority, will take a year off of school to perform her duties. She will compete for Miss America next year.

think I would really win."
As part of the victory, George also won one of two swimsuit competitions and was named the pageant's best instrumentalist for her piano performance. She earned two other scholarship awards totaling $750.
The pageant was held from June 6 to June 9 when George was announced the winner.
George's plans to enter the University as a senior this fall will have to wait. Her responsibilities as Miss Kansas are full-time and prevent her from taking classes. But it's a sacrifice George is willing to make to achieve a lifelong goal: becoming Miss America.
During the next year, George will travel the state and country speaking to youths in schools about bullying in the classrooms. George has spoken with more than 6,000 school
children since starting her push to rid schools of bullies as a junior in her hometown high school. "Bullying: The Bystander Effect," was George's Miss Kansas platform, a subject near to her heart since eighth grade when she was terrorized by a bully. George said she wants to show students and teachers how valuable witness collob-
ration is in eliminating the problem.
Her focus on tackling such a topic for so long made George an ideal candidate for Miss Kansas.
Michelle Walthers, a judge and spokeswoman for the Miss Kansas Pageant, said a large part of Miss Kansas' responsibilities included speaking with children in schools across the state, something Walthers says George has nearly perfected.
"Alyssa was very thorough and extremely prepared, something we really looked for in our contestants," Walthers said.
Prior to the pageant, all 21 contestants were instructed to write tentative business plans as if they were
Miss Kansas. Walthers said George's plan was well-organized and stood out among the other contestants'.
"A big part of Miss Kansas is talking with kids and when I looked through her platform, it was evident she was concerned about young people," Walthers said. "She personified the image of Miss Kansas and Miss America."
After falling short of the Miss Kansas title in 2004 and 2005, George
took a year off from the pageant to focus on her studies as a business major at the University and her volunteer work through Chi Omega as Rock Chalk director. George's route to becoming Miss Kansas started in August of 2006 when she was selected as Miss Sedgwick County. Her mother, Mary Beth George, said the year between pageants allowed her to mature into the person that won Miss Kansas.
"Ive always known she was the full package, I just didn't know when it was all going to culminate," Mary Beth said. "But I knew she was going to be Miss Kansas."

Downtown restaurateurs open new venues
Two new restaurants provide variety of far-out fares
By Tyler Harbert
tharbert@kansan.com
New downtown restaurants are hoping students have a taste for unique foods.
Owners of Genovese Restaurant, 941 Massachusetts St., and Ingredient, 947 Massachusetts St., said they can be successful in the crowded Lawrence restaurant market if residents and hungry students, are willing to sample their cuisines.
"That is the most important part, good service and quality food," said Subarna Bhattachan, who owns Genovese along with Alejandro Lule and Armando Paniagua. "If we don't have a good product then it is pointless."
Bhattachan said his restaurant, located in the former Mass St. Deli, features a northern Italian cuisine, serving a variety of fresh and dry pastas for $10 to $12, as well as salads for $6, pizzas for $10 to $12 and entrees such as rib eye steaks and salmon dishes from $14 to $25.
Bob Schumm, owner of Buffalo Bob's Smokehouse,719 Massachusetts St., and the former owner of Mass St. Deli, said he has already sampled Genovese's cuisine and enjoyed it. He said he sold his restaurant to the new owners because "they made me an offer I couldn't refuse."
While Schumm said he thought the new owners would be successful, he said additional downtown restaurants would crowd an already saturated market.
"It's going to be very difficult for everyone to do as well as they want," he said.
Bhattachan said Genovese's owners researched the market and plan to control their labor and food costs.
"You have to do your homework correctly," he said.
correctly, he said. Bhattachan said he will rely on word-of-mouth advertising and walk-up traffic to make Genovese a success. Bhattachan also owns La Parrilla, 814 Massachusetts St., and Zen Zero, 811 Massachusetts St.
Zen Zero, 811 Madison
He said more than half of his 50 employees are University students, but Bhattachan said the most important thing owners need to do in order to be successful is be willing to work at any time, even upwards of 100 hours a week.
The restaurant's hours are from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday and until 11 p.m. from Thursday to Sunday.
Steve Kerner is one of the owners of Ingredient Restaurant, which will open either Friday or Saturday in the building that once housed Qdoba. Kerner said the three keys to attracting enough customers to a restaurant were the freshness of its food, the restaurant's atmosphere and the price.
Ingredient customers can choose five from more than 80 ingredients to customize their salads or pizzas, which range in price from $7.50 to $11.
Kerner said customers will order their food through a counter like a fast-food restaurant, but a server will bring their orders to them with regular china and silverware like a sit-down restaurant. He called it a "gourmet fast casual restaurant."
"It's different," he said. "It's not your average fare."
Kerner, who has experience in restaurants and catering in Kansas City, said all of his ingredients would be brought in from Kansas City markets and from some local farmers.
"Whatever they have growing we'll bring in as special ingredients," he said.
With a philosophy of freshness and a variety of ingredients such as caramelized almonds, pine nuts and grilled pineapple, Kerner said Ingredient would fit in with the Lawrence attitude toward food.
"We think it's the perfect market for it," Kerner said.

odd news
Woman sues ex-husband over baseball tickets
ATLANTA — A woman is crying "Foul Ball!" about the way her ex-husband is distributing their behind-home-plate tickets to Atlanta Braves games.
H. Elizabeth King, a psychologist, accuses her ex, Charles Center, a lawyer, of breaking their 2002 divorce agreement on how to divide the tickets.
Before their divorce, King and Center had four tickets to 27 home games as part of a threeway, season-ticket partnership. Under their divorce agreement, he got the first home game, then each got 13 games.
But one of the partners died last year and King's ownership increased to a full third.
At the court hearing Tuesday, King claimed that Center, who is in charge of dispensing the tickets to the partners, goes out of his way to give her games that conflict with her schedule, and implied he gave her day games because she had skin cancer.
Center testified that he distributed tickets the way he always had: sequentially, according to a mathematical formula, adjusted when people asked or if there were conflicting schedules.
Superior Court Judge Melvin K. Westmoreland ruled he would not cite Center with contempt and urged the exes to settle it out of court.

Witnesses see likeness of deceased man in tree
ROSEMONT, III. — Donald Stephens spent more than half a century at the helm of this Chicago suburb. Now, less than two months after his death, some say an eerie likeness of the late mayor's face has appeared in the peeling bark of a 50-foot sycamore.
The image is fueling speculation and wonder in the village of 4,200 residents - the town Stephens is credited with transforming from a tiny enclave of just a few dozen people to a bustling community with one of the nation's largest convention centers.
"He told me, you screw things up, I'm gonna haunt you," said Bradley Stephens, the mayor's 44-year-old son who was appointed to complete his father's term.
The tree was twice slated to be torn down. It was saved each time because Stephens intervened. Now, It's guarded by a barricade, and a single candle placed by well-wishers stands nearby.

Teen drives car through front of N.Y. mail
MASSEQUA, N.Y. — Many teenagers spend their afternoons cruising around shopping malls, but one young man's jaunt through a corridor landed him in hot water with police.
Dwight Thomas, 19, crashed his car through the main glass doors at the Westfield Sunrise mall Thursday evening and cruised the corridor, knocking over a klosk and sending shopper scurrying before exiting the building and leaving his car, police said.
A passer-by restrained Thomas until police arrived and took him into custody, officer Thomas Brussell said.
There were no serious injuries. One person suffered minor cuts to the foot after stepping on broken glass, police said. The crash caused about $60,000 worth of damage, they said.

Man robs grocery store of whiskey, lettuce
GRAND CHUTE, Wis. — One robber's list of things to steal included whiskey, a thermometer and lettuce.
Police were called to a grocery store late Thursday after witnesses said a 46-year-old man from Brown Deer threatened employees. The workers said the man gestured as though he had a concealed gun and told them he would shoot.
Associated Press
The man left with 12 bottles of whiskey, two heads of lettuce and a digital thermometer, police said. Officers found a vehicle in a nearby neighborhood that matched a description given by store employees. The man was identified from store surveillance video.

Actor Robbins jams with small-town band
The 48-year-old actor, who was in Edwardsville for his upcoming movie, "The Return," brought a guitar and played classic R&B at Laurie's Place on Wednesday evening.
EDWARDSVILLE, III. — Patrons of a downtown bar in this city of 24,000 people were surprised when Tim Robbins strolled in and started jamming with a local band.
"I have never had a big celebrity come in and sit in with the band," said Laurie Chavez.
Robbins had wrapped up a day of filming for the drama, also starring Rachel McAdams, before coming into the bar for the impromptu concert. The crowd, snapping pictures with cell phones and filming with camcorders, grew as the news of Robbins' minic concert spread
"I gave him a T-shirt and had him autograph my wall," Chavez said. "He then shook my hand. He fit right in here, without a doubt."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — If you saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers whispering to Al Gore when they accepted their Grammy Award for best rock album in February, that's the moment they committed to playing Live Earth.
Gore said he met with band members for more than an hour before this year's televised awards show,trying to persuade them to perform at one of the concerts.
While receptive to the idea, they weren't sure they could fit the July 7 concert into their schedule, Gore said Friday.
The former vice president, who lost the 2000 presidential election to George Bush despite winning the popular vote, is promoting the Live Earth concerts to raise climate change awareness.
"I was pushing and pushing them that no matter how difficult it was,that it was important."

COMMENTARY
Jayhawks will rebound with bowl victory
Mark your calendars for Dec. 31. On this date, the Jayhawks will complete their nine-win season with a victory against Illinois in the Insight Bowl. Illinois fans will have more to gripe about with Kansas athletics than Bill Self leaving the Fighting Illini to coach Kansas basketball in
2003. Mark Manghgo will be a genius and Kansas football will have posted their best season in more than 10 years. All of this may sound crazy, but there is reason to believe in this year's football team.
You may ask 'how can Kansas improve its record after losing the Big 12 Conference's leading rusher and school record-setting running back,

is much closer than the match-up in 2005.
On the road, Kansas will have to face its demons. It has suffered a 3-16 road record over the past four years. This season it will face Kansas State, Colorado, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State on the road. If the Jayhawks can manage a victory in just one of these road games, they could potentially go into their final regular season game against the Tigers at 8-3. Missouri is the hype of the Big 12 North this season, and it would be nice if Kansas' defense could tame quarterback Chase Daniel enough to pull away with an upset victory and possibly win the Big 12 North.
Jon Cornish? The popular belief amongst pundits is that Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas State will improve off of winning seasons, leaving no room for Kansas in the Big 12 North.
Cornish will not be in the backfield this season, but that's OK. Look for Jake Sharp and Brandon McAnderson to carry the ball a lot this season. Sharp, who averaged 6.1 yards per carry last season, will add speed, while the 235-pound McAnderson will be effective running up the middle.
At the quarterback position, the decision of whether to start Kerry Meier or Todd Reesing is still up in the air, but the position will be improved. Ed Warriner has returned to Kansas as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, and he will provide more consistency at the position by calling the audibles himself.

On defense, the Jayhawks have eight returning starters, including Aqib Talib, arguably the best cornerback in college football. Last season, opponents racked up a
This year, Kansas will make up for its fourth quarter meltdown against Baylor on the road last season and likely repeat its blowout victory against Iowa State. During the past three seasons, the Jayhawks have put up an impressive fight against the Cornhuskers, including a shellacking of the 'Huskers two years ago in Lawrence. The Jayhawks lost 14-8 to the 'Huskers in 2004, and 39-32 in overtime last season in Lincoln, Neb. Kansas will come up with a victory at home once again, but likely in a game that

by defeating Central Michigan. Victoria against Southeast Louisiana and Florida International will come easily, and the Kansas will seek revenge against Toledo after a heartbreaking road loss last year.
Since the Big 12's inception in 1996, Kansas has not posted a record better than 3-5 in conference play. If Mangino and his team can build off of their success of the past few seasons, then we may see the Jayhawks battle the Fighting Illini on New Year's Eve in Tempe, Ariz.
whopping 269 passing yards per game against the Jayhawk defense. With the return of Talib, opponents will rarely test him, so the Jayhawks will need the other cornerback, Kendrick Harper, to step up if they want the defense to improve.
At home, the Jayhawks have compiled a record of 19-5 during the past four seasons, and there is no reason this success will not continue. In non-conference play, Kansas is hosting games against reigning Mid-American champions Central Michigan, as well as Southeast Louisiana, Toledo and Florida International. Since 1991, Kansas is 14-2 in their home openers and will hit the ground running

Four Jayhawks selected in MLB draft
Price, coaching staff credited for draft day success in past five seasons
By Dylan Schoonover
dschoonover@kansan.com
For the fourth straight year, more than three Jayhawks were selected in the Major League Baseball draft.
Senior Kyle Murphy and underclassmen Brock Simpson, Zach Ashwood and Erik Morrison all heard their numbers called in the 2007
NY
draft. Within the past two years, the Kansas baseball program has had 11 players drafted - nine of those coming in the top 20
rounds.
From Murphy's viewpoint, the team's success on draft day can be attributed to the coaching staff.
"Coach Price and his staff bring in quality players," Murphy
said. "Skill level isn't all that matters though, the coaching staff knows how to make you far better than when you arrived."
Y
Coach
Morrison
Ritch Price said he was excited for the players drafted. He said he thought junior pitcher Zach Ashwood — drafted in the 16th
round by the Chicago Cubs — and outfielder Brock Simpson — taken in the 46th round by the Cleveland Indians — would forego their final years of eligibility to make the jump to the pros. He said the recent success of the baseball team
left him with great optimism for the future.
"We've made great progress in the draft," Price said. "In the past five years at KU more players have been drafted than the previous 25 years before that."
YANKEES
Murphy
For a player, being drafted to play for a professional baseball
team is not as simple as finding out where they are drafted. Murphy said it was a lengthy process that included talking with all the teams and filling out paperwork for each club that expressed interest prior to
draft day. He said he was surprised the Texas Rangers selected him in the 19th round — 590th overall — because they were not one of the teams he had spoken to.

"I didn't know until a week before the draft they might take me," Murphy said. "Regardless, this
Simpson
is a dream you think about growing up and I am so excited to have the chance to continue playing."
Murphy's jump to the Major League wasn't a smooth process. During his junior year, he had trouble with hitting. At the beginning of his senior year he started the season last in the batting order. Murphy said it was head coach Rich Price who helped him rebound from the tough start during his junior year.
"Coach Price is unreal," he said. "I struggled my junior season, but he didn't give up on me. He helped me get back to where I am now."

"We are excited about that result but we aren't content, we plan to build off this success."
Junior Julius Jiles set a new Kansas record in the 110-meter hurdles. Jiles set the record in his first qualifying run with 13.81 seconds. During the semifinals later in the day, Jiles erased that record with a mark of 13.66 seconds. In the final, he finished eighth with a time of 13.95.
He is the first Jayhawk to earn All-American honors in the 110-meter hurdles. He said with the tough start he endured during the indoor track season, it was rewarding to run well in the outdoor championships.
STANLEY REDWINE Track and field coach
Senior Egor Agafonov, pictured here at the Kansas Relays, finished fourth in the hammer throw at the NCAA Championships.
"The indoor season was frustrating. I was so tired of not running fast and losing," Jiles said. "Going into the final I was so nervous, I didn't know what to do. I've finally regained my confidence to win."
Along with Jiles, Abby Emsick, Eric
Babb, Egor Agafonov, Crystal Manning, Barrett Saunders, Ashley Brown, and Kate Sultanova earned All-American honors. Agafonov finished fourth at the NCAA Championships with a toss of 229-02 feet. For his career, he finished as a four-time All-American in the hammer throw.
"I'm very proud to have finished with another All-American performance," Agafonov said. "It was a very tough competition with some strong opponents, but I did my best today and I'm happy about that."

》 BOARDWALK FIRE
Sentence handed down in Rose case
By Susan Schwarz
sschwarz@kansan.com
Jason Allen Rose was sentenced Monday to the maximum penalty of 122 months in jail for the 2005 fire at the Boardwalk Apartments complex.
Rose was convicted in early May of setting the fire, which killed three people, including University of Kansas student Nicole Bingham and injured 20 others.
A jury found Rose guilty of one count of aggravated arson, three counts of involuntary manslaughter and seven counts of aggravated battery. Though Rose faced a charge of first-degree murder, a sentence with the penalty of 20 years to life in prison, the jury found him guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jason Rose leaves the courtroom Monday after being sentenced in connection with an October 2005 fire that killed three people at the Boardwalk Apartments.
Maureen Gonzales, sister of lose Gonzalez who was killed in the fire, spoke to the courtroom before sentencing. She said she did not agree with the jury's verdict of involuntary manslaughter.
"I find no peace in the fact that his life meant nothing to you," Gonzalez said.
Nancy Bingham, mother of Nicole, recounted her daughter's life before the sentencing Monday.
"Moms are supposed to protect their children and not let anything happen to them but that is not always possible." Bingham said.
District Attorney Charles Branson said in his remarks to the judge that Rose set the fire where it would not be easily detected, so that it could not be seen until it had already spread.
Kansas law states that a sentence cannot be greater than double the time of the greatest charge. In the case of Rose, a single count of aggravated arson holds a maximum 61 months sentence. Rose was convicted of three counts of that charge.
The state asked that Rose serve the three sentences consecutively while defense council asked that they be served concurrently. Judge Murphy ruled Rose would serve his sentences consecutively. Rose will be credited for the 614 days he has already served and can reduce his sentence by 15 percent with good behavior.
Before Judge Murphy read the sentence for Rose he said, "many of the people here wish you were getting a greater sentence than you are."

Tyson removes contaminated beef from Wal-Mart shelves
Tyson Fresh Meats removed more than 40,000 pounds of ground beef from Wal-Mart stores in 12 states including Kansas.
Ground beef products produced by Tyson on June 2 and shipped solely to Wal-Mart stores were pulled from the shelves because of possible contamination, said Wal-Mart spokesman Kory Lundberg.
The company sent word to their stores June 6, to the remove possibly contaminated beef.
"Everything that had been recalled had to be taken out that day," Lundberg said. "There should not be anything in Kansas or any other store."
Lundberg said Wal-Mart also placed a sales restriction on the product. If a customer finds a package of the Tyson shipment and brings it to the register, the product will not scan. Lundberg said when an employee sees that the product will not scan the employee
According to the product recalls on the Wal-Mart Web site, the recall includes the following products:
1. 5-pound trays of "Angus steak burger all natural, 85/15, 6 — 1/4 pound patties."
1. 33-pound trays of *Angus steak burger all natural*, 85/15, extra thick, 4

Wichita's Big Ditch needs millions in repairs
WICHITA The Big Ditch, which protects a large section of Wichita from flood damage, has suffered erosion damage and needs millions of dollars in repairs, city and federal officials say.
The ditch, formally known as the Wichita-Valley Center Flood Control Project, stretches 18 miles along western Wichita and has 50 miles of connecting channels and more than 90 miles of levees. When necessary, water is diverted into the ditch from the Arkansas River, the Little Arkansas River, Cowskin Creek and Chisholm Creek.
The water inside the ditch usually is shallow, but it has been bank full in recent weeks and an annual inspection by the Army Corps of

Engineers last week found erosion. The corps plans to complete a damage report within 90 days.
The ditch was built in the 1950s by the corps and is maintained by the city and Sedgwick County. An application for money from the Federal Emergency Management Agency sought up to $6 million for repairs, but final cost estimates will depend on the corps'final report.
Bush backs Palestinian leader in battle with Hamas
WASHINGTON President Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Tuesday sought to bolster Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in his battle with Hamas for primacy, calling him a moderate voice and the only true leader of the Palestinian people.
Bush and Olmert, before meeting in the Oval Office, both spoke positively to reporters of the prospect for new talks between Abbas and the Israelis.
Bush called Abbas "the president of all the Palestinians" and "a reasonable voice amongst the extremists."
Bush and Olmert met in the aftermath of turmoil that left Abbas, a Western-backed moderate, in control of one Palestinian government in the inland West Bank and his Islamist rival Hamas in control of the separate Gaza Strip on the coast.

For Susan Craig, more than a decade of work — most of it done without the help of a computer is finally being recognized.
Craig, head of the Murphy Art and Architecture Library at the University of Kansas, recieved the Art Libraries Society of North America's Worldwide Books Award for Electronic Resources for her electronic book, "Biographical Dictionary of Kansas Artists (active before 1945)."
"It's a record of cultural history for the state," Craig said.
Craig began the project in 1981 when she came to the University, after she realized that no such resource on Kansas artists existed. Craig worked on the manuscript throughout the '80s, but abandoned the project after plans to publish the book fell through.
Along with national recognition, Craig said she continues to receive notes from people who have relatives listed in the dictionary or own a piece of art by one of the listed artists.
"I literally shelved it in my attic," she said.
The book lay untouched until 2005 when Craig decided to continue her project utilizing Internet and other computer resources to track down a good deal of information that had previously eluded her.
The eBook, published in August 2006, is a free dictionary of artists who were either born in Kansas or produced art while they lived in
the state.
Craig said she chose online publication instead of traditional publication because she had found so much free information on the Internet.
"I wanted to share the work that I had done that same way," she said.
Some of the entries contain as much information as an artist's birth and death dates, a list of artworks, awards received, and other biographical information. Other entries are less complete, including only the names of people who "lived in Kansas and called themselves artists at certain times," Craig said.
She said she used 1945 as a stopping point because it marked an important shift in art history. The movement of people and the development of art institutions after World War II changed the way art was produced, Craig said.
Charles Eldredge, professor of the history of art said that the resource could benefit collectors, students, archivists and history preservation professionals alike.
"It's the kind of fundamental resource tool that is far too seldom encountered," said Eldredge.
"The Biographical Dictionary of Kansas Artists (Active before 1945)" can be found online at KU ScholarWorks.
Craig said she will continue to expand the dictionary's information and plans to release a second volume, though she didn't know an exact date.

NCAA rule walks dangerous line
The NCAA's actions last week against a reporter for The Courier-Journal of Louisville, Ky., blogging at a Super Regional baseball game are a serious threat to the First Amendment rights of journalists around the country.
If you haven't followed the news, The Courier-Journal's Louisville reporter, Brian Bennett, was asked to leave the press box by an NCAA official after being caught blogging about the game on the newspaper's Web site.
The NCAA claims it has the right to ban reporters from blogging about game action, because they have rights holders, like ESPN in this case, that pay millions to broadcast games.
While the NCAA certainly has
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
KANSAN EDITOR
RSCHNEIDER@KANSAN.COM
That is essentially what the NCAA is doing with their ban on blogging about game action. The content and editorial decisions of the newspaper belong to the editor, not the NCAA.
As soon as the home run is hit
or strike three is called and broadcast on television, that play becomes public knowledge. At that point, the information should be free for publication, meaning a reporter could post what he saw on a blog.
This is yet another example of how the law, or in this case rules, have not kept up with changing technology. Though nothing has been filed yet, several media reports have said The Courier-Journal is exploring a lawsuit against the NCAA.
Whatever the outcome of the situation, expect more media outlets to challenge the NCAA next spring during the men's basketball tournament. And if they do, I'll be glad to see journalists again challenging a rule that limits their rights.

GREENSBURG TORNADO
Students return home to desolation
The home of Kelly McKinney, Greensburg junior, was destroyed by the tornado that hit the town in May. McKinney said her family plans to build a new home on the foundation of the house that was destroyed.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO BY KELLY MCKINNEY
University students returned to Greensburg two weeks after an F5 tornado destroyed their hometown May 4.
With the town still barely operable a month later, the students are experiencing a different summer than they anticipated. The reality of the extent of the destruction is still sinking in.
"I've been living the last three months in a disaster area," Zach White, sophomore, said. "It's so hard to grasp and accept what has happened. After a while, it's numbing."
Zach's sister, Stephanie, a KU graduate student, said only five percent of the houses in Greensburg remained livable after the storm. After graduation Stephanie visited home for a week. At first, she said she felt disoriented at the sight.
The Whites' house suffered window, siding and roof damage but the destruction did not force the family to relocate. It is one of 10 houses currently livable with working electricity, sewer and water systems.

A photo gallery of the destruction in Greensburg
reconstruction starts.
Most Greensburg residents had no other option but to move because of the severe property damage.
"There is so much debris that when the town is rebuilt it will be farther south than it was before," Stephanie said. "There is so much glass and metal all over the place that remaining facilities, like the football field, won't be safe for use. It's like starting from zero."
Zach said he still meets with friends from his hometown but it's difficult with them scattered to towns like Wichita, Pratt and Coldwater as much as two hours away.
Kelly McKinney, junior, said her family relocated to Coldwater, 30 miles south of Greensburg.
Kelly said the tornado tore down her house's outer walls and left no trace of any interior walls except for those of two bathrooms.
The family recovered only a few items: a couch, a chair and a refrigerator. Items found in their basement were mostly unusable because
of water damage and everything upstairs was completely gone, Kelly said.
The Whites plan to return to Greensburg in October or November and build a new house on the foundation of their old one.
The students are unsure of Greensburg's future.
"Greensburg will never be normal in the aspect of what it was before," Kelly said. "But eventually it will get back on its feet and I hope to see it grow."
Greensburg still has a 10 p.m. curfew, Stephanie said, because there are still no streetlights or storm shelters. The rebuilding of Greensburg depends on the reconstruction of U.S. Route 54, a major highway that ran through the town.

Show raises hundreds for Greensburg
By Sam Carlson
scarlson@kansan.com
The small fee of $2 was all it took to see live music and help the city of Greensburg on June 13.
At least 150 people attended for an event at the Eighth Street Tap Room, 801 New Hampshire St. Matt Toplikar, local musician and organizer of the event, said the show raised $420 for the Greensburg Relief Fund to help rebuild the city that was devastated by a tornado in early May. A donation jar raised money in addition to the profits made from the cost of admission.
The dark room at the Tap Room became so crowded that a few members of the audience sat on the floor as nine different acts, both solos and duets, performed for longer than three hours.
"I think everyone had a good time. It was good to see that people came out
during the week," Toplikar, 25, said.
He said he felt the need to contribute to the rebuilding after his friends visited the city and assisted in the cleanup. "I was just thrilled to see Matt wanting to do something," said Jeremy Sidener, Tap Room manager.
Toplikar, who was the first act of the night, said he had been planning the benefit show for about a month. He had played shows at the bar before and knew all the musicians personally, so all that was left for him to do was get approval from management, set the date and put up flyers.
Bar patrons filled every seat in the room and many stood, lining the walls and the rear of the room. The attendance surprised Sidener, who said Wednesday night is usually an off-night for the bar.
"He definitely made something out of nothing," Sidener said.

Fans bid Barker farewell
Group gathers at Crossing to view host's final show
By Ben Smith
bsmith@kansan.com
As a large hound named Willie Nelson slurped up eggs from a paper plate on the floor Friday morning, his owners and other patrons parted down while watching a historical television event on a large projector screen.
The final broadcast of the CBS game show "The Price Is Right" with Bob Barker as host aired at 10 a.m. to a rowdy group of guys who rented out The Crossing, 618 W. 12th St.
Willie didn't really seem to care about the show with its shouting contestants and commercial breaks featuring products from The Scooter Store. But patrons couldn't help but notice the irony of having the large dog present for Barker's final sign off thanking viewers for allowing him into their homes for 30 years and "remember to control the pet population. Have your pet spayed or neutered. Goodbye everybody."
Willie isn't fixed. As Barker, the host since 1972, said his last line, people patted the dog's head and smiled.
Brandon Siekman, Leawood senior, was the organizer of "The Price Is Right Kegs and Eggs" party Friday morning. He and a dozen friends arose early to prepare biscuits, gravy and eggs as they drank beer and cheered each showcase.
Siekman said his idea for the little party started out as a minor joke but slowly gained momentum.
"In the beginning it was just a stupid idea," Siekman said. "But then it evolved into something more."
As Siekman and a hand full of his friends sat on the front deck of The Crossing, he said he was planning to "shed a tear" at the show's end.
"I'd always grown up watching the man," Siekman said. "I took afternoon kindergarten classes and in the mornings I watched The Price Is Right. And when I was home sick from school, all the way through high school, I'd watch two shows, SportsCenter and The Price Is Right."
Matt High, a graduate from Topeka, said the show and its host were both institutions that appealed to college students.
"Ive seen a hell of a lot of college kids on the show in the last few years," High said. "And for a man 80 years old, Barker still appeals to college students."
New funding plan proposed
Games that party-goers played included "Drinko," a game inspired by the familiar Price Is Right game of Plinko, and a game in which participants guess the six showcase games that would be featured on Barker's final show.

University expects to receive $25 million from April bill
By Maggie VanBuskirk mvanbuskirk@kansan.com
After a deferred maintenance bill was passed by the Kansas House in April, the University submitted a proposal of how it will spend the additional funding for campus repairs to the Board of Regents. The board will review the proposal in its June meeting.
The deferred maintenance bill provides a five-year funding plan that will begin in the 2008 fiscal year. Throughout the duration of the plan, $90 million will be distributed for campus repairs at the University and
five other state universities.
According to Jim Modig, director of design and construction management, the University expects to receive $25 million during the five years of the plan. The first year, it will receive $9.9 million.
"The five-year plan is prioritized," Modig said. "With the initial five years of funding we plan to make improvements on the tunnels and eleven buildings."
The University proposed to use funding for tunnel repairs and mechanical improvements in Wescoe Hall and Haworth Hall during the first year of the plan. That includes
new air handling units in Wescoe and new exhaust hoods in Haworth's labs. Modig said the tunnels, which are a century old and provide heat to campus buildings, will either be replaced or repaired.
Funding from the deferred maintenance bill comes from the Statewide Maintenance and Disaster Relief Fund. It could be available to the University in August to hire consultants for the design and construction of repairs. By Spring 2008, Modig said he hoped the University would have bids for all the year's projects.

Here are examples of projects Student Senate is currently working on:
RECREATION CENTER PARKING
Student Senate is working with the Recreation Center and parking administration to open up access to Rec Center parking for more students. Completion of this initiative would allow more students to park at the Rec center and utilize the facility while classes are in session during the day.
COKE PARTNERSHIP WITH STUDENTS
Student Senate recently implemented card readers in select Coke machines on campus to allow students to purchase beverages with KU Cuisine Cash or Beak Em' Bucks. Currently, Student Senate is reviewing the program with the intention of possibly expanding the program to include more Coke machines on campus.
CAMPUS SAFTEY REFORM
SAFEBUS
Student Senate is working to restructure the Campus Safety Advisory Board to address women's safety and self defense education. Student Senate is also working with Public Safety officers to designate dangerous areas of campus that are in need of improvement projects such as better lighting and the construction of permanent crosswalks in areas with high traffic.
The Transportation board has been working to finalize the routes of this bus system that was voted on by students in Spring 2007. SafeBus will run from 9:00 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights and serve both on-campus and offcampus. SafeBus will serve three different routes, with two buses on each route. The area covered will include the downtown area near Massachusetts Street, residence halls, apartments, and many other housing establishments.
JAYHAWK BOULEVARD INFOSHACK
The info shack on Jayhawk Boulevard is currently out of date and unable to serve students as an outdoor resource. Student Senate is taking preliminary steps to renovate the info shack to add televisions that will run Union AxisTV and a GPS map of the bus locations.
MICROSOFT CAMPUS
Student Senate is working on signing an agreement with Microsoft to offer campus-wide licenses that provide all students Windows and Office at a low price.

Construction crews work on the road in front of Phoenix Gallery, 919 Massachusetts St. "It's dusty," said Sam Bennet, an employee at the gallery. "But, it has still been busy because of Father's Day." Employees said they haven't noticed a significant decline in foot traffic as a result of the construction.
Not everything in historic downtown Lawrence is worth saving.
That's why for the third consecutive year, portions of downtown Massachusetts Street are blocked off and crews are working to replace underground water lines, some of which date back to the late 1880s.
Philip Ciesielski, utilities engineer for the city of Lawrence, said the project to install new water mains on both sides of Massachusetts Street was needed to improve reliability and capacity. Nonetheless, businesses in the downtown shopping district hope the replacement project will soon end.
Jade Tittle, women's team lead at Urban Outfitters, 1013 Massachusetts St., said the project was imposing because of the awful din.
When construction shifted from the east side to the west side of the street last week and closed southbound traffic in front of Urban Outfitters, Tittle said her businesses saw a decrease in sales.
Ciesielski said the project was originally planned to span three summers. This year's project began April 23, and by May 19 the first phase of work from 11th Street to North Park Street was already completed. The next phase of repairs on the 900 to 1000 block of Massachusetts Street was finished May 21, putting the project 30 days ahead of schedule, Ciesielski said.
The original completion date was
Sept. 7, but Ciesielski said it could be done by mid-August. He said the project was ahead of schedule because the company doing the repairs, Nowak Construction Co., Inc., has had three summers to find a learning curve for doing the most efficient job.
Greg Post, project manager for Nowak Construction, said his company's experience has put the project ahead of schedule, but he realized most downtown businesses won't miss him.
"We're trying to stay out of everybody's way, but it's hard to do," Post said. "Whenever you have a construction zone in front of your business it's going to hurt your business."
Post said in addition to installing the new lines on both sides of the street, his company has installed new water hydrants and electrical outlets
in some areas as part of the project.
The cost for this summer's work is $1.9 million and the total three-year project has cost $4.2 million, not counting design fees. The project was funded strictly through the Lawrence utility department's water and sewer service, Ciesielski said.
Brian Baggett, manager of Supersonic Music, 1023 Massachusetts St., said loyal customers who know his store are still coming in to buy the things they need, so construction in front of the store has only affected one aspect of his business.
"Window shoppers have probably declined, but they aren't responsible for the majority of our sales anyway," he said.

The University offers a number of affordable services to help students achieve fitness goals.
The Student Recreational Fitness Center is open from 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m on weekends.
Lawrence offers other fitness venues for students besides the recreation center.
The Lawrence Arts Center offers ballet, modern dance, tap, jazz, lyengar Yoga, yoga-lates and a muscle toning class for $60 per hour for a semester.
Jenny Roberts, personal trainer at the recreation center, said even with gym access, many students find it difficult to find motivation to work out.
Free personal training sessions are available to students by signing up in a designated date at the recreation center. The next sign up date is July 3rd.
Students also can pay $10 per session with a personal trainer.
If students are looking for group training, the recreational center offers group summer classes through KU Fit. A summer KU Fit pass costs $25.
KU Fit offers classes in yoga, pilates, zumba, and kick boxing.
This semester they added shorter classes to fit schedules better.
"In the industry classes have been becoming shorter and more niche based," Amber Long, Coordinator of Fitness at the recreation center said.
"So more people can get in maybe do only one portion of the workout in the aerobics studio and maybe go complete the rest of it in the treadmill or the weight room."
Some students participate in group classes for a more energizing work out.
"It's a different way of exercising without just being in the elliptical machine or the treadmill," Heather Wood, Wichita graduate student said.
Students can also exercise outside.
"I can't get into the rec center, so I try to do things like biking and running outside during the summer," said Theresa Rohlfs, Topeka senior.
Long said that students can find motivation by setting goals.
"I can't do that during the winter, so I have to take advantage of it."
"Finding a little run, maybe a little 5K and setting a goal to say I'm going to be able to run this 5K," Long said. "It gives you a reason to want to go out and exercise and do something. That is really helpful."

Motorcycle enthusiasts who have an interest in the Civil War can fill their craving for the open road while taking in history during the third annual Border Raiders motorcycle ride, which kicks off June 23 at Free State High School.
Four Lawrence residents, Paul Corcoran, Jim Turner, Tim Timmons and Jim Baze created the ride, to incorporate various ideas into a unique experience.
"We wanted to do something that would tie in all the surrounding states as well as draw people in with the chance to see some history, "Corcoran said.
The ride will last eight days, covering 500 miles through four states. After beginning in Lawrence, the riders will head north to Nebraska and continue through Iowa and Missouri before ending back in Kansas.
During the past two years, the ride has generated money to help build children's playgrounds in small towns in northern Kansas.
Last year, the ride contributed more than $600 to the town of Hamburg, Iowa, which used the money to renovate a theater.
Riders pay a registration fee of
$245. The fee covers lodging and baggage transportation.
The route was planned so that riders could visit important sites from the early stages of the Civil War in the Midwest. Participants will ride through the areas once occupied by the Free State Jayhawkers, Quantrill's Raiders, the Border Ruffians and outlaws such as Jesse James.
Organizers expect more than 150 riders to participate.
Turner said tying the Civil War into the ride was an idea that evolved over time. After originally planning to follow the Lewis and Clark Trail, the organizers realized they were missing the most interesting part of the region.
"Once we got out there and toured the museums and sites,we decided that visiting places from the war would make for a more interesting ride," Turner said.
Another goal was to provide riders with a challenging route that would bring charitable opportunities to non-profit organizations in towns along the route.
"We didn't want it to seem like we were just blowing through, so we wanted to give back to some of those towns that are already struggling." Turner said.

Oprah returns to top of Forbes' Celebrity Power List
NEW YORK Oprah Winfrey continues to take over the world. The media mogul is back on top of Forbes annual "Celebrity 100 Power List," which ranks the rich and famous based on earnings and buzz.
Winfrey, who came in third last year, was the top money-maker with an estimated income of $260 million during the past 12 months. She last topped the list in 2005.
"The woman is making history every single year," said Lea Goldman, a Forbes associate editor who oversaw the list. "It's not as if she's sitting on her laurels enjoying the show."
Winfrey's Harpo Productions is a partner on celebrity chef Rachael Ray's popular syndicated daytime talk show, which debuted last September. Golf tycoon Tiger Woods, who pulled in $100 million, ranks second. Madonna, absent from the list last year, is No. 3. The pop star's "Confessions" world tour — the highest-grossing tour by any female artist in history, Goldman said — and her adoption of a baby boy in the African country of Malawi put her back in the spotlight.

Guinness names newest oldest people
TOKYO — At 111, the world's oldest man keeps a daily diary, drinks milk and stays away from drinking alcohol and smoking.
"I don't want to die," Tomoji Tanabe told reporters Monday, while receiving a certificate from the Guinness World Records at a ceremony in southern Japan.
Tanabe, who lives in the southern city of Miyakonojo, was born Sept.18, 1895, and certified by Guinness only earlier this month following the January death of Emiliano Mercado Del Toro, of Puerto Rico, who at 115 also the title of oldest living human.
Tanabe, a former city land surveyor, thanked his children and grandchildren for caring for him over the years and described Monday's event as "nothing special."
Coincidentally, the new title

Hare traffic controls airport in Italy
MILAN, Italy — wild nares at Milan's Linate airport seem to have only one thing on their mind, and their excessive mating and growing numbers have blocked takeoffs, landings and radar systems.
Officials on Sunday mounted a daylight raid to keep these furry creatures off the runways.
Blowing whistles and waving their arms, some 200 volunteers spooked the hares out of their holes into waiting nets. The animals — 57 hares and four wild rabbits were put in crates and transferred to a wildlife preserve, officials said.

Freshman Reed fulfills dream
By Dylan Schoonover
dschoonover@kansan.com
Tyrel Reed is a household name in Burlington.
As a four-time All-State selection and Gatorade Player of The Year, Reed warranted a lot of attention from folks at Burlington High School. For the incoming freshman, joining the Kansas men's basketball team is the culmination of a life-long dream to become a Jayhawk.
Like many children who grew up in Kansas, Reed followed the Jayhawks and attended basketball camps every year in Lawrence. These days Reed is the one helping with
days Reed is the coach Bill Self's camp during the summer.
"During the scrimmage of coach's camp it kind of hit me," Reed said. "I looked up at all the campers watching us and I realized I'd made it."
The spotlight
"I grew up around here. I've sat in those stands and watched the games.The other programs were great schools, but Kansas was the best place for me."
TYREL REED
Guard
Reed said he was excited about playing for Self, who had visited him numerous times during the past three years during the recruiting
process. He said the coach expected him to bring leadership to the team
"I grew up around here. I've sat in those stands and watched the games," Reed said. "The other programs were great schools, but Kansas was the best place for me."
"I could be considered a gym rat, since my dad was my coach growing up, I always had access to a gym," Reed said. "Coach Self wants me to get my teammates in to play pick-up as much as possible."
being cast upon Reed isn't a new situation for the freshman. He was taut as the 14th best point guard in the country coming out of Burlington High School, according to rivals.com. He received recruiting interest from Georgia Tech, Stanford, Missouri, Kansas State and former Kansas coach Roy Williams at North Carolina, who ran some of the camps Reed attended while growing up. Ultimately, Reed said the tradition and excitement that surrounded Kansas basketball made his decision easier.
Reed spends about five hours on basketball-related activities each day, divided between the weight room, conditioning in the morning and scrimmaging with teammates in the evening. He said when he isn't working on basketball he is adjusting to dorm life, as he moved into the Jayhawker Towers last week with his roommate and fellow freshman Cole
Aldrich.
"Cole got a new flat screen TV but we can't seem to get the cable to come in right," Reed said. "At least I can play 'Halo 2'; I play that video game a lot."
When asked about being ribbed by some
of the older players on the team. Reed laughed and said everyone liked to clown around. He mentioned one specific instance when Darrell "Shady" Arthur pranked him.
"The other day Shady randomly nailed me with a water balloon," Reed said. "It's okay though, I already feel like I mesh well with the team, so it's fun to joke around sometimes."
Reed said that students should feel free to welcome him to campus any time they see him because he loves talking to people.
"I like to meet new people. It's cool to think that more people will know me since I play basketball here." Reed said. "More importantly though, I'm not going to get a big head. I feel that if you are nice to everyone, hopefully they will be nice to you."

Self's camps underway
Jon Goering/KANSAN
Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur goes up for a dunk Tuesday afternoon. The bleachers at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center were full of campers attending the Bill Self's camp.
By Dylan Schoonover
dschoonover@kansan.com
Last week, Bill Self's basketball camp kicked off with more than 800 campers taking the courts.
Kids ages 8 to 18 of all different skill levels received instruction from Kansas players and coaches. The 5-day camp let kids get up close to their real-life heroes. During the final full day of the camp, former Jayhawk players returned to play a game against the current players. The campers yelled and holdered for their favorite players and jeered the team that they didn't want to win. Former player and current administrative assistant Brett Ballard helped serve as master of ceremonies for the event.
Seniors Russell Robinson and Sasha Kaun are experiencing their last Bill Self Basketball Camp while incoming freshman Tyreel Reed is switching from being the camper to the coach. He said growing up attending Roy Williams' Basketball Camp always left him dreaming about one day playing in Allen Fieldhouse.
"You guys have got to get loud," Ballard yelled. "Let the players hear it. If they lose there won't be ice cream at dinner tonight."
The players and coaches put in several hours each day. A college or high school coach, plus at least one current player, help with drills across the school district to offer instruction to kids at a 1 to 9 coach to camper ratio.
"I remember being the kid staring up at the players," Reed said.
@
Four former Jayhawks, including Aaron Miles, Michael Lee, Nick Bradford and Billy Thomas returned to offer their basketball insight as well as put on a show for the campers. Miles and Thomas will both participate in the NBA's developmental summer league in hopes of returning to the NBA where both have played partial seasons in the past. Miles will play for the San Antonio Spurs, while Thomas will join the Milwaukee Bucks. Thomas played for the Washington Wizards during the 2005-2006 season and said he wants another shot at the top level.
"I've been fortunate with my opportunities," Thomas said. "I feel

good - I think I can get back to that level, but if not teams from Europe have already been calling me."
have directly. For current standout Brandon Rush, hobbling around the gyms with his leg heavily bandaged isn't the ideal experience of being a coach to the kids. Self said Rush was limited in his activities outside of attending his physical therapy.
Tomorrow, the second and last session of Self's camp will conclude. Once the session closes, the players will be back in their regular summer routine of conditioning
in the morning, followed by weights and pick-up games in the evening. During July, Self and his staff will spend the majority of their time on the recruiting trail.

Big 12 commissioner resigns, heads to Big Ten
The Big 12 Conference announced late last week that Commissioner Kevin Weiberg is resigning next month to take a job with the Big Ten Conference.
Weiberg has been head of the conference since Dec. 4, 1998.
"I am proud of the growth and progress of the Big 12 over the last nine years." Weiberg said in a statement. "By working together our members have excelled competitively, significantly grown revenues, and established a strong national presence and leadership position among the major conferences."
Among Weiberg's achievements is increasing the conference's annual
distribution to schools. In 2006, the Big 12 handed out $106 million. By comparison, the conference handed out $54 million in
its first year.
"Kevin has done a terrific job for the Big 12 Conference," Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins said in a statement."I have known Kevin for
DANIEL K. HARRIS
Weiberg
more than 25 years and have always respected the work he's done. He led the Big 12 through its formative years, and leaves the conference in great shape, poised well to face the future."

University to discontinue dial-up access on campus
As of August 31, students who use the University's dial-up connection to access the Internet will have to switch to a cable or DSL connection or find another dial-up service provider.
According to Bill Myers, director of information services for KU Libraries, the University currently has a dial-up connection that students, faculty, staff and retirees may subscribe to. However, because of the dwindling numbers of subscribers, Myers said the connection has become expensive to maintain.
"When we had 7,000 subscribers it was worthwhile," Myers said. But now that there are 600 users out of a maybe possible 30,000, it's not."
Myers said if a student using dial-up wishes to continue doing so, he or she would have to find another provider, like AT&T. Students who choose this option will still be able to access the KU network and their KU account in the fall.

Jayhawk Blvd. to be closed at 14th Street intersection
Jayhawk Boulevard will be closed for construction near its intersection at 14th Street beginning June 27 and lasting until the start of the fall semester.
The boulevard will be closed to through traffic in both directions for the construction of a new traffic booth to be located at the south end of the intersection of Jayhawk Boulevard and 14th Street.
Lilac Lane and 14th Street will remain open with signs posted ahead of the construction site to divert traffic to Mississippi and 14th Streets. Buses will use Mississippi Street as an alternate route.
Mike Krings, University spokesman, said the new booth is going to replace the temporary traffic booth near Danforth Chapel that was placed at the intersection during the construction of the Docking Family Gateway at 13th Street and Oread Avenue in 2006.
Krings said that Jayhawk Boulevard will not be closing completely.
"You just won't be able to go through that one intersection," he said.

CAMPUS
Program helps freshmen adapt
Summer institute allows newcomers to meet friends, learn about campus
By Alaide Vilchis Ibarra avilchis@kansan.com
On the 6th and 7th floors of Lewis Hall, 53 incoming freshmen are learning about the University through the Freshmen Summer Institute, a program designed to give incoming freshmen a taste of University life before school starts in the fall.
The institute has been part of the University for 10 years, but this was the first year that it was a four-week session. Previously, the program consisted of two three-week sessions.
Jessica Ward, graduate coordinator for the FSI, said that the change came because the two sessions were not diverse. The first session would have more in-state students and the second session consisted of more out-of-state students.
"They wanted more of an even mix," Ward said. "I think we have that. We are half and half male and female, and in-state and out-of-state."
Lisa Moore, FSI resident assistant, said that one more week would help the students bond with each other and get to know the
campus and its traditions better in order to be "a step ahead of all their peers."
Students also said that one week makes a big difference when it comes to the FSL.
"I don't think three weeks is enough time to get everything that we would like to know and
get to know the people that we are trying to get to know." Ashley Magana-Garcia Hutchinson freshman, said.
Although students take two classes, the learning experience that the FSI has to offer has

will certainly help us not feel as much as freshmen."
The freshmen also do a community service project and are encouraged to attend different floor activities on campus.
Students
can go out at night with other FSI participants or stay in and play video games, watch TV or make puzzles. On the 6th floor, there are three different unfinished puzzles on a table in front of the elevator.
The social aspect also plays a big part for students participating in the FSI.
Magana-Garcia came to the FSI
to meet other students because she would not be living in the residence halls during the fall. She said the FSI was a good place to meet those students she might not have the chance to meet living in an apartment.
Sam Arkin, Chicago freshman said that the friendships he has formed at the FSI would help him get better acquainted with the University and dorm life in the fall.
"This is like beginning freshman year early and when we start out with everybody we have friends that we know from the summer and we will all still be friends," Arkin said.
Some students said the FSI helps them to come back in the fall a step ahead of most other freshman that have not had such exposure to campus life.
"I have the upper hand, especially when 1,000 and 2,000 more freshmen don't know where they are going. I could just literally laugh at them... not that I will or anything," Arkin said.

Crowd walks against 'racist war after documentary showing
By Sam Carlson
scarlson@kansan.com
The anti-war movement took to the streets Monday evening as a group of more than 100 protesters marched down Massachusetts Street as restaurant patrons and passers-by looked on.
The crowd slowed traffic at times and chanted "One, two, three, four, we don't want your racist war!" on their way to a vigil at South Park. The crowd began the march at Liberty Hall after viewing "Sir! No Sir!" a documentary film about the G.I. resistance movement during the Vietnam War.
Betsy Hatch, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said she came to watch the documentary, but decided to stay and take part when she heard about the march.
*Yes, the Campbell Conference book signing will be back here next year!
"I was thinking how great it is when people can come together for something that they really feel is important," she said. "I think our message got across."
The film told the story of American soldiers in Vietnam who opposed the war and the tactics they used to make their voices heard. Certain parts of the film, such as when a veteran of the war called his peace symbol necklace
his dog tag, received cheers and applause from the audience.
The event was sponsored by Films for Action, Kansas Mutual Aid, and the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice.
After arriving at South Park, the crowd held candles and gathered at the park's pavilion to listen to a speech by an Iraq veteran from the Kansas City chapter of the Iraq Veterans Against War. An open forum followed, and several members of the crowd, including Vietnam veterans, spoke about various topics such as the media's role in the war and the presence of G.I. resistance in the Vietnam and Iraq Wars.
One person encouraged everyone to write their congressional representatives and voice their disapproval of the war. Another person urged those in attendance to take part in the anti-war movement by cutting down on their oil usage.
James Piller, 2007 graduate, said although he was impressed by the discussion, he felt more needed to be done.
"It's a good sign that they're actually here and being seen but it's very different from actually doing something about it," he said.

Government shouldn't control public's intake of profanity
In the ongoing profanity battle between the FCC and Corporate- TV-USA, FOX recently scored ground: Fleeting expletives are F***ing-OK. With the ruling came a sigh of relief from the once vulgar Cher, Nicole Richie, and yes, Dick Cheney. But the decision
is already in the process of an appeal.
the process of an appeal.
I grew up with essentially profanity-free programming,
jaded only by the words behind the bleeps of
the Jerry Springer
Show, but
Although the freedom of expression is explicitly protected in the Constitution the government has consistently approved its limitations. The lynch pin in this idle prattle is deciding when profanity becomes obscene.
I wasn't a better person because of my ignorance. I still embarrassed my parents, got spanked, and hated my sisters.
A commentator once noted that, "[a person]...with four lifetimes and a burning desire to find out whether he may scream 'Fuck!' in a crowded theater will come away in confusion if he looks for his answers in the opinions of the Supreme Court."
Although the freedom of expression is explicitly protected in the Constitution - the government has consistently approved its limitations. The lynch pin in this idle prattle is deciding when profanity becomes obscene.
Linguists have consistently supported the categorical conception of "fuck," dividing its connotations into two camps: "Fuck" as a verb literally meaning to conjugate and "fuck" as a substitutive word in phrases designed to have "offensive force." Because of its connotative versatility, its meaning can vary depending on the person,
situation or physical context of its utterance. The fact that "fuck" can be substituted for God or hell, shows that the evolution of this word has lost all intrinsic denotative and connotative value.
In the 1950s, the FCC declared that in order for profanities to
be considered obscene,they must allude to "excretory organs and prurient interests." This standard held precedent for many years,even as far as 2004 when Bono stood before the Golden Globes and received the statuette for best original song by exclaiming "...this
is really, really fucking brilliant! "
After this incident, the FCC rewrote regulations on "fuck," that, in their new definition intrinsically connotes sexual imagery effectively using soap to wash out the mouth of television.

However, in an earlier case, Miller v. California, courts ruled that profanities must meet 3 standards to be considered obscene: 1) A reasonable person using community standards would consider the utterance to have prurient interests. 2)
change dramatically if it HAD met these standards, and frankly I'd be concerned for the statuette if it did.
In Cohen v. California, a man bearing a "Fuck the Draft" jacket was arrested for walking through a court-house. The Supreme Court overturned his conviction and said if people didn't agree with the message, they could avert their eyes. They also said that profanities, many times, have emotive value -- important in generating audience response.
It must depict or describe sexual conduct. 3) And it, as a whole, must lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value. What Bono meant when he said, holding up that award, "...this is really, really fucking brilliant!..." would
I say, shielding viewers from such programming is unnecessary. Simply because a show is profane doesn't mean it has persuasive powers on the feeble minded. I got a good kick out of Maury Povich, but I never wanted to fight a dwarf or marry a goat. And at the end of the day, Cain killed Abel LONG before there was television.
Concerned parents are trying to protect their children as long as possible from those who take up precious air to execute all over the

LAWRENCE
City shelter sees spike in homeless population
Residents noticing a summer increase in numbers look for cause of influx
By Tyler Harbert tharbert@kansan.com
Good summer weather and flooded camp grounds are causing many Lawrence shelters to notice an increase in the visibility of the homeless around town.
Brenten Antholz, a 2007 Fort Hays State University graduate who took some of his courses at the University this spring, said he'd
seen an increase in the number of homeless people coming into the shop where he works asking for spare change or cardboard boxes to make signs.
"The weather's better so of course, you're going to see more down there."

"I used to give money, but not anymore," he said. "I'm a little hardened now that I've lived in Lawrence."
Michelle, a homeless woman who wished to withhold her surname, has lived at the community shelter since January 2006. She had been engaged to a man in Kansas City, Mo., until he was placed in a state mental health care facility and

"If I go to a college town it's a more nurturing foundation," Michelle said. "I'm very

She said shed noticed more homeless people here in Lawrence lately, probably because of rain that
flooded out the local campgrounds. She doesn't work and said she was just trying to figure out her own living arrangements.
"I don't know where exactly I should be," she said.
Liz Coleman, shelter manager at the Salvation Army, 946 New Hampshire St., said the summer months are historically a travel time for larger numbers of homeless individuals.
That's part of the reason the average number of nightly shelter visitors rose from 20 in May 2006 to 43 people the same time this year. The other cause for the spike has been recent rainfall.
"I would say it's a weather thing," Coleman said. "It's been too wet to pitch tents or make fires."
Currently the majority of the Lawrence homeless population are men, said Donnie Hornberger, director of community relations for the

The difference between the community shelter and the Salvation Army is the shelter is open, mean-

He said the commission estimated there are 100 homeless individuals each night in Lawrence, although they
may stay with friends or camp on the banks of the Kansas River or under the Kansas River bridge.

SISTER CITY
Local residents take barbecue to Germany
Students bring home-town cuisine to Eutin to help celebrate 750th anniversary of north German town
By Maggie VanBuskirk
mvanbuskirk@kansan.com
For 14 University students studying in Eutin, Germany, there's no cuisine like Kansas barbecue. The students didn't have to click ruby red slippers, however, to get a taste of home while overseas. In celebration of the city's 750th anniversary, home-town cooking came to Eutin.
The students, who have been living in Germany since May 25 along with 20 delegates visiting from Lawrence, co-hosted a "Kansas night" to celebrate their sister city's anniversary. The cooking for the event was led by Bob Schumm, owner of Buffalo Bob's Smokehouse.
"We had cornbread, coleslaw and barbecue," Scott Seeger, director of the Summer Language Institute for 2007, said. "It was quite the event."
The Lawrence-Eutin relationship began in 1966 when the University began sending students to study in the northern German city. The two towns became sister cities in 1989. According to Seeger, events like Eutin's anniversary and "Kansas night" rejuvenate the feelings of connection between Lawrence and Eutin
and makes the links stronger.
"It helps you see how intensely Lawrence and Eutin really are connected with one another. 'Kansas night' felt like a bunch of good friends meeting again and spending time together," Seeger said. "It always impresses me the amount of friendship and exchange that is put into the program."
The rib nibbling and beer-steinclicking camaraerie of the evening began with a rendition of Kansas' state song "Home on the Range." It was sung by KU students and Lawrence guests. According to Seeger, the performance set a good tone for the night.
"Since the chorus is the same, more and more of the crowd began to sing along as we sang." Seeger said. "The feelings, especially among KU students, was real excitement."
For the event, Kansas flags hung on the walls and students and Lawrence visitors wore blue bandannas. Regina Kroh, graduate student and assistant director of the program, confessed to having taken a large portion of coleslaw and thought "there are no antelopes in Kansas" while singing the state song.

Where is Eutin?
Eutin, one of Lawrence's sister cities, is located 216 miles northwest of Berlin, the capital city. Eutin has a population of more than 18,000.

For Kroh, who grew up in Mecklenburger, Germany, this was her first return home since January. She said while living in Lawrence she craved dark German breads. But now after returning to Germany, she missed American food. Kroh first moved to the U.S. in 2000 for a school exchange program.
"I lived the most part of my life in Germany and I will always be German. But I do very well in both countries and I miss one when I am in the other." Kroh said,
Audrey Deeken, sophomore, said she enjoyed eating American food while drinking German beer, especially since it was not legal for her to drink in the U.S. Deeken said she was excited to have her host family try the Kansas cuisine and the event made her feel at home in Eutin.
"The Lawrence-Eutin connection is nice because we get to participate in things like 'Kansas night' and we are treated like very special guests the entire time," Deeken said.
Lawrence further helped commemorate Eutin's anniversary this summer by dedicating an art sculpture, "Eternal Spring," to the town. It was created by a Lawrence resident and sits on the bank of the Great Eutin Lake.
The students will continue studying in Eutin until they leave on July 18. In September, Lawrence representatives will travel to Eutin to continue the celebration at a ceremony in which an opera singer from Lawrence and a KU graduate who plays the piano will perform.

As a tradition of the Eutin, Germany, Study Abroad Program, KU students Audry Deeken, Helen Drawn, Katie Sangha and Michelle Whitshell sign the book of the city. The students signed the book as special guests of the city on June 4 at a reception at Eutin's city hall.

Sophia Ostlund, 6, and Amelia Cartarr, 7, dance together during La Fiesta Mexicana Friday night at St. John's church. The celebration raised money for local Catholic charities. The event included music, dancing and food while emphasizing Spanish-language education. "For me, I just don't think you can start too early on a second language," said Frank Lemus, a chair for the festival.

26th annual Latin fiesta garners funds via food
Food and music celebrate community and cultural combo
BY TYLER HARBERT tharbert@kansan.com
A sign bearing the word "Bienvenidos" greeted hungry crowds Friday and Saturday nights at the 26th annual Mexican Fiesta at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, 1234 Kentucky St.
The sign, which means "welcome" in Spanish, hovered above an already busy food line at 5 p.m. on Friday.
Frank Lemus, a church parishioner and chair of the festival, said the variety of Mexican dishes — such as tacos, tostadas and burritos — were the real draw for the hundreds of people who come to the annual event.
More than 200 volunteers helped with the festival this year, Lemus said, preparing dishes, selling T-shirts and standing in the small vendor tents for a few hours during the hot evenings.
The event featured two bands, Son Venezuela and Grupo Picante. Lemus said the salsa-style music was just another way to celebrate Mexican culture in Lawrence.
"I really think now we're a Lawrence tradition, not just a St.
John tradition," he said.
The celebration required a full year of planning. Lemus said, and the money raised at the event would benefit a new Spanish language class at St. John elementary school.
"For me, I just don't think you can start too early on a second language." Lemus said. "I'm not fluent in Spanish like I should be, so I want my kids to get a jump on it."
Elliot Bryant, a Haskell Indian Nations University senior, is a Navajo language speaker. Friday night he waited for Son Venezuela to begin playing so he could communicate through dancing.
"The music tells you how to dance," he said. "It moves you."
He demonstrated some of his dance moves, alternating his feet back and forth three steps at a time, and said he liked the similarities between Latin American and Native American dancing. Bryant planned to get some food and attend the festival Saturday also, and drink plenty of water so he could keep moving.
Judy Parker stood in a line for food early Friday, waiting to buy a
taco and a tostada before beginning work in the food building. The St. John Social Service Ministry worker and church attendee had attended each festival since 2000. She said her favorite aspect of the event was the sense of community it promoted that and the food.
"Everything is handmade" she said. "It's all good and fresh."
Marta Carvajal-Regidor and Gaby Otero, Lawrence High School sophomores, volunteered in a roasted corn booth for two hours, serving the hot treats with various seasonings.
The two volunteers, who attend a youth club at the church, said they were looking forward to their friends joining them Saturday to play carnival games at the festival. But first, they had to serve roasted corn and try not to enjoy too much of it.
"I like it the Mexican style and with lemon, Parmesan cheese, chili powder and mayonnaise." Carvajal said.

Mix up causes interruption in bus service
Two students stranded as Lawrence Bus Company drivers fail to show up for work
By Susan Schwarz
sschwarz@kansan.com
KU on Wheels' recent decision to switch bus driver providers caused a lapse in operation on June 18.
PASSENGER BUS
May Davis, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said Lawrence Bus Company workers did not show up in the morning, leaving the buses without drivers.
Davis said the company would not tell her why the drivers didn't show up.
She said the situation could be connected to the switch from Lawrence Bus Company to MV Transportation.
Davis said that KU on Wheels would be switching to a new company, MV Transportation, to supply the drivers for the University bus system. The switch will happen on June 29 for SafeRide and July 1 for KU on Wheels.
Students were left without KU on Wheels service on June 18 after drivers from the Lawrence Bus Company failed to show up for work. The company declined to comment on the situation.
The Lawrence Bus Company would not comment on whether the switch of companies was the reason their drivers did not show up.
She added that KU on Wheels switched companies because MV
Transportation "had a more cost effective proposal with new ideas involving new technology"
Davis said she spoke with the Lawrence Bus Company and does not expect to have this problem in the future.
Two students waited for nearly 30 minutes for the bus from Park and Ride. Ashley Coleman, Kansas City senior, and Steven Witherspoon, Wichita senior, said they noticed there were no cars around.
Coleman and Witherspoon decided to drive to class to avoid being late. Coleman made it to class in time, but Witherspoon said did not.
Jon Goerina/KANSAN
Coleman said she picked up two friends waiting at the bus stop by Jayhawker Towers on her way to park behind Frasier Hall. "They would probably still be sitting their today if I hadn't picked them up," she said.
Coleman said she looks for cars in the parking lot to make sure the buses will be running that day. Coleman said she wished she had received an e-mail alerting her to the situation.

Students take digital ideas to New York competition
By Joe Caponio jcaponio@kansan.com
Five University of Kansas journalism students are working on creating new ideas that could shape the ways of digital media in the near future.
The five students; graduate students Chris Raine, Nate Martin and Courtney Farr, and seniors Brian Lewis-Jones and Sam Knowlton, are part of the Knight Brothers 21st Century News Challenge.
In the challenge, students from various universities work together to create and develop ideas that would help improve the global community through digital media.
Raine and Farr are former University Daily Kansan staff members, and Lewis-Jones is a current staff member.
The students will each receive two credit hours of coursework for participating in the challenge.
Each member of the team was asked to come up with 10 ideas for digital media, and then narrow them down
to one idea to present to bring during a meeting at Ithaca College in New York in early August. Some of the original ideas on the list included everything from a Web site that would allow people to get medical advice from doctors without having to schedule an appointment to a database that would track the luxurious items purchased by elected public officials.
On Tuesday, the team met to narrow down their list of ideas. One of the ideas that was discussed in detail was a "local wiki," a site similar to wikipedia.com where the residents of a community could post anything from news stories to restaurant reviews to crime statistics.
The site could be incorporated with a Google map, making it easy for users to find information about buildings or businesses in a particular area.
"I think it can develop into a site where people share personal stories, sort of a virtual block party," Raine, Lawrence graduate student, said.
The team is still in the process of
deciding on their final idea.
Knowlton said that he initially became interested in participating in the challenge because he felt it had great potential.
There are six other universities participating in the challenge. They are Kansas State, Michigan State, NevadaLas Vegas, Western Kentucky, Ithaca College and St. Michael's College
Patrick Lafferty, multimedia newsroom coordinator at the William Allen White School of Journalism, is the coordinator for the school's project.
"It will be valuable for the team members to think outside of their comfort zones while developing the idea," Lafferty said.
"It looked like it could be a different, new and interesting experience," Knowlton said.
6. 5.2.19 (a) Find the value of $y$ in the equation $y = \frac{1}{3}x^2 + 4x - 8$.
At the meeting in Ithaca, the KU team and students from the other participating universities will incorporate their ideas into one proposal that they will present to an online board association in Toronto in October.

Apartments shun unwanted swimmers
Property managers use various tactics to try to keep non-residents out of pools
By Susan Schwarz
sschwarz@kansan.com
Get caught, get kicked-out: Lawrence apartment complexes are busting intruders for stealing residents' sun-time.
Jessica Stewart, manager for Tuckaway Apartments, said Tuckaway attempts to keep nonresidents out of their pools by stopping people they do not recognize. Stewart said she knows most of the Tuckaway tenets by appearance and all by name. Management asks people to leave if they do not live at the complex.
Stewart said she expects students to use apartment pools they do not belong to.
"It's pretty typical. I went to pools in college that I didn't belong to.
It's not a huge deal, but it does take away from the tenants that live here," Stewart said.
Two weeks ago, Tuckaway had
to drain their pool to remove glass fragments. Stewart said this was a result of the "party scene" that occurs when unwanted guests leave their beer bottles and cigarette butts behind.
Nicole Weitkamp,
was walking to the pool. Weitkamp explained to the employee that her friend, who lived at the complex, said she could swim there.
"It's pretty typical. I went to pools in college that I didn't belong to. It's not a huge deal, but it does take away from the tenants that live here."
JESSICA STEWART
Tuckaway Apartments Manager
Overland Park graduate, attempted to use the Tuckaway pool earlier this summer. She said a Tuckaway employee questioned her as she
"If I had another month," Weitkamp said, "I would probably try again if I was going with other people."
Weitkamp said the employee told her she could not use the pool and asked her to leave. With Weitkamp's time in Lawrence winding down, she said getting caught once was enough and she might not try again.
Kelli Scheuerman, community manager for The Reserve, said The Reserve had problems with damage caused after hours. This caused the staff to close the pool the following day to clean it and balance the chemicals.
Scheuerman said The Reserve has several tools to keep intruders off of their property, one of them being a digital camera system.
Erica Rowe, Kansas City, Mo., senior, who lives at The Reserve, said the unwanted guests at the Reserve pool caused her to stop visiting the facility.
"I do know a lot of people from around Lawrence come to our pool who don't live here." Rowe said. "I am kind of annoyed by that because they bring all of their alcohol and leave bottles and cans everywhere and sometimes in the pool."
Susan Rinky, property manager at The Legends, said her apartment complex does not have a set way to monitor for unwanted guests. Rinky said all guests must be accompanied by a resident. Rinky said unwanted guests have not become a problem at The Legends, but if any guest or resident gets rambunctious, they are asked to leave.
Sarah Mann, Overland Park junior, goes to The Legends pool with her sister, who lives in the complex. Mann said she thinks a lot of people are kept out of The Legends because they need a key to get into the pool.

Most recently, the band enjoyed some quality time at Montana Mike's Steakhouse, 1015 Iowa St.

The Pharmacy has also had a few run-ins with the law.
In New York City, Rubicz had to go to the police station after his friend was involved in an altercation.
In Kentucky, the group said they were almost arrested for swimming in a closed public pool.
"I spent like four and a half hours there just talking to all these cops. It was like NYPD Blue," Rubicz said.
The experience helped the band define its type of music their. Rubicz showed an officer some pictures of the band and the officer said, "Oh, so you're one of those grunge-punkpsychedelic bands." The band still uses the descriptor today.

Motorsports team earns highest ranking ever
Jayhawk Motorsports placed second in the endurance portion of the 2007 Formula SAE West Competition on June 13 in Fontana, Calif., its highest placing ever.
The team built, designed and drove a formula-style race car for the competition where the car was judged in categories such as track endurance, acceleration and presentation.
Robert Sorem, faculty adviser for the team, said the team has been fully working on the design since last August.
The team also earned $4,300 for placing high in sponsored awards and placed in the top 10 in different events of the competition sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers.
"I think it will reflect on the Engineering school positively," Sorem said, "It shows our students showcasing their abilities."
Jayhawk Motorsports competed against 80 other teams around the world and placed 14th in the overall competition.

Six actors don stiletto heels and evening gowns as part of summer theatre farce
By Sam Carlson
scarlson@kansan.com
In a traditional beauty pageant, contestants try to demonstrate their style, dignity, and grace by donning evening gowns, bathing suits and scads of make-up. And so, the Miss Glamouresse beauty pageant is quite normal. There's just one difference.
The contestants are all men.
The Kansas Summer Theatre musical production "Pageant" will hit the stage at Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall this Friday at the University of Kansas.
Bill Russell, director and cowriter, said "Pageant" is not a drag show, but rather a parody of beauty pageants.
"This show is really about the way beauty is sold to women in our culture," Russell said. "They go through things and do things that we would never expect men to do."
The six contestants — Miss Industrial Northeast, Miss West Coast, Miss Deep South, Miss Bible Belt, Miss Great Plains, and Miss Texas — sing and dance, hoping to earn the top honor at the end of the show. But the contestants
don't know who will take home the prize each night. That's because the five judges are picked from the audience at the beginning of each performance, meaning there potentially could be a different winner each night.
"We want the audience to be a part of it," said Ben Cook, Plano, Texas, senior. "We don't want them to just sit there in the dark."
Cook, who plays the part of Miss Texas, said he was already familiar with the mentality of Texas women.

the same age range as Miss USA contestants. The theatre contains a stage leading to a runway with tables on both sides and the actors go backstage only to change outfits. And, because the audience chooses the winners, the actors are truly pushing themselves to become Miss Glamouresse, Cook said.
"It actually has turned into a competition between all the actors;" he said.

Greensburg in need of city workers
GREENSBURG — Helping Greensburg rebuild from the devastating May 4 tornado that destroyed most of the town will require a big jump in city employees.
The town isn't having much luck filling 12 positions, including five just dealing with community development.
Among the city's biggest staffing needs is in the building codes and planning department. The department currently is being staffed with volunteers from the Heart of America Chapter of the International Code Council.
City Administrator Steve Hewitt said city leaders are grateful for the help, but they know it can't last forever and they're looking forward to bring in permanent replacements.
"We're no longer the small town
we used to be," Hewitt said. "In terms of building and inspection, I've heard speculation that we may issue as many building permits in the next year as Johnson County."
The need for full-time help is underscored by the sheer number of permits being issued as the town clears away the rubble and struggles to replace destroyed homes and businesses.
The city's new positions would be subsidized by the state until federal dollars become available. City officials said they plan to begin talking at local colleges and vocational schools about their openings, hoping to draw recent graduates and students who could work as interns and develop into full-time employees.

Immigration bill set to return to Senate floor
WASHINGTON The Senate voted Tuesday to jump-start a stalled immigration measure to legalize millions of unlawful immigrants.
President Bush said the bill offered a "historic opportunity for Congress to act," and appeared optimistic about its passage by week's end.

The pivotal test-vote was 64-35 to revive the divisive legislation. It still faces formidable obstacles in the Senate, including bitter opposition by GOP conservatives and attempts by some waverers in both parties to revise its key elements.
Blair to become special envoy in Middle East
WASHINGTON. — Outgoing British Prime Minister Tony Blair will be named on Wednesday as special envoy for the international diplomatic Quartet on the Middle East with a portfolio focused on Palestinian economic and political reform, a senior U.S. official said.
Members of the Quartet, the United States, United Nations, European Union and Russia, will give their public blessing to the post and announce that Blair has agreed to take the job in simultaneous statements from Washington, New York, Brussels and Moscow, the official told The Associated Press.
The official, who insisted on anonymity because the statements are still being drafted, spoke after being briefed on a meeting of quartet representatives held earlier Tuesday in Jerusalem.
Three U.S. officials said Monday that discussions on naming Blair to the post had been completed and the issue was on the Quartet's Tuesday agenda.

Murdoch close to owning Wall Street Journal
NEW YORK Rupert Murdoch moved closer to his dream of owning Dow Jones & Co. Tuesday as an initial agreement was reached on measures to ensure the editorial independence of The Wall Street Journal, a person familiar with the matter said Tuesday.
It still wasn't clear whether the deal on the issue — a key sticking point in the talks over Murdoch's $5 billion offer
would pass the approval of Dow Jones'controlling shareholders, the Bancroft family, who initially rebuffed Murdoch's offer in early May.
Dow Jones and News Corp. didn't immediately respond to calls for comment.
Murdoch's media conglomerate News Corp. and Dow Jones' board have agreed in principle on ways to ensure the Journal's independence, with some items yet to be decided, according to a person speaking on condition that he not be named because the agreement was not yet public.

Pro wrestler involved in double murder suicide
Authorities also said they are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths of Benoit, his wife and their 7-year-old son. Steroid abuse has been linked to depression, paranoia, and aggressive behavior or angry outbursts known as "roid rage."
ATLANTA — Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in his weight room, a law enforcement official close to the investigation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
"We don't know yet. That's one of the things we'll be looking at," said Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard. He said test results may not be back for weeks.

Officials close to finding cause of forest fire
MEYERS, Calif. — A raging forest fire at the southern tip of Lake Tahoe had destroyed more than 275 buildings by Tuesday morning, but firefighters said they had slowed its advance and were close to pinpointing the cause.
The danger to homes diminished during the night after firefighters got a badly needed leg up on the inferno, which was still burning along rugged, uninhabited slopes, fire officials said.
It was about 40 percent contained, they said.
Residents whose houses were only moderately damaged were to be allowed to return home Tuesday, and by Thursday authorities plan to begin escorting residents to destroyed homes.

Victoria Beckham accepts damages after suing magazine
LONDON — Victoria Beckham accepted undisclosed damages Monday from a celebrity magazine that claimed the crew of her U.S.TV show considered her "picky, demanding and rude."
The former Spice Girl sued Star magazine over an April article that claimed staff working on the NBC show had also described her as "full of herself and not very nice."
Beckham's lawyer, Gerrard Tyrrell, told Britain's High Court that filming hadn't started at the time the story was published.
"The story was therefore completely inaccurate and defamatory of Ms. Beckham," he said.
Northern & Shell PLC, which publishes the magazine, apologized and agreed to pay Beckham's legal costs and "substantial" damages. The amount of damages wasn't disclosed.
Beckham, 33, is married to soccer star David Beckham. The couple recently moved to the U.S., where her husband is due to join Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy next month.
"Victoria Beckham: Coming to America" will air July 16.
L.A. prosecutor in Hilton case admits to wrongdoing
LOS ANGELES — When Paris Hilton was sprung from jail early, few were as outraged — and as outspoken — as the prosecutor who put her there.
But City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo's complaints of a two-tiered jail system where "the rich and powerful receive special treatment" have come to back to haunt him.
Soon after Hilton was sent back to jail earlier this month, he acknowledged his wife had committed a similar infraction driving with a suspended license. Among other things, he also admitted sticking the taxpayers with the bill after his wife crashed his city-issued car in 2004, and acknowledged that staffers have occasionally run personal errands and baby-sat his children.
The disclosures have led the California bar and the city Ethics Commission to open investigations of one of Los Angeles' highest-ranking law enforcement officers.

LOS ANGELES Tom Sizemore was sentenced Monday to 16 months in state prison by a judge who ruled the alleged discovery of methamphetamine in the actor's car had violated his probation in a previous drug case.
Sizemore "has been in every program, and here he is again," Superior Court Judge Cynthia Rayvis said.
Rayvis recommended Sizemore be sent to the R.J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego County because of its noteworthy drug treatment program.
Sizemore, whose screen credits include "Saving Private Ryan" and "Black Hawk Down," didn't speak during the hearing. He wore orange jail clothing.

Rosie O'Donnell, former host of "The View," announced Monday that she will not replace Bob Barker as host of "The Price is Right! Barker had earlier said that O'Donnell would make a fine host for the show.
'Price isn't right for Rosie O'Donnell won't move to LA to take over for Barker
NEW YORK — Rosie O'Donnell says she's out of the running to replace Bob Barker as host of "The Price Is Right."
O'Donnell, a superfan of the CBS game show, said on her blog Friday that she had a "nice lunch" with the show's producers.
Barker, 83, retired earlier this
month after 35 years with the show, which is filmed in Los Angeles.
Although O'Donnell has said she would love to fill Barker's shoes, the 45-year old comedian has changed her mind.
"Well, here's the thing: I don't really need a job. I'm in a weird position.I don't need the money."
money."
"So to get my entire family uprooted from their lives and move them across the country so that I can have a fantasy childhood indulgence, you know, job ... it just doesn't seem fair."
O'Donnell lives in Nyack, N.Y., near New York City, with her
"Well, here's the thing: I don't really need a job," O'Donnell says in a video posted Sunday on her Web site. "I'm in a weird position. I don't need the

partner, Kelli, and their four children. She recently left ABC's "The View" after a heated on-air squabble with co-host Elisabeth
Hasselbeck.
"You know, if they were able to do it in New York, it would be a different story," O'Donnell says. "But it looks like it's — ain't
gonna happen."
But Barker told The Associated Press last week he never meant to endorse any potential host and has no role in choosing his replacement.
Barker told reporters at the Daytime Emmy Awards he had "no doubt" that O'Donnell would make a fine host for the show.
"The Price Is Right" is on hiatus until the new season starts in the fall.
Victoria Beckham accepts damages after suing magazine
Associated Press
LONDON — Victoria Beckham accepted undisclosed damages Monday from a celebrity magazine that claimed the crew of her U.S.TV show considered her "picky, demanding and rude."
The former Spice Girl sued Star magazine over an April article that claimed staff working on the NBC show had also described her as "full of herself and not very nice."
Beckham's lawyer, Gerrard Tyrrell, told Britain's High Court that filming hadn't started at the time the story was published.
"The story was therefore completely inaccurate and defamatory of Ms. Beckham,"he said.
Northern & Shell PLC, which publishes the magazine, apologized and agreed to pay Beckham's legal costs and "substantial" damages. The amount of damages wasn't disclosed.
Beckham, 33, is married to soccer star David Beckham. The couple recently moved to the U.S., where her husband is due to join Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy next month.
"Victoria Beckham: Coming to America" will air July 16.

L.A. prosecutor in Hilton case admits to wrongdoing
LOS ANGELES — When Paris Hilton was sprung from jail early, few were as outraged — and as outspoken — as the prosecutor who put her there.
But City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo's complaints of a two-tiered jail system where "the rich and powerful receive special treatment" have come to back to haunt him.
Soon after Hilton was sent back to jail earlier this month, he acknowledged his wife had committed a similar infraction — driving with a suspended license. Among other things, he also admitted sticking the taxpayers with the bill after his wife crashed his city-issued car in 2004, and acknowledged that staffers have occasionally run personal errands and baby-sat his children.
The disclosures have led the California bar and the city Ethics Commission to open investigations of one of Los Angeles' highest-ranking law enforcement officers.

Actor Sizemore sentenced to 16 months for drug possession
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Tom Sizemore was sentenced Monday to 16 months in state prison by a judge who ruled the alleged discovery of methamphetamine in the actor's car had violated his probation in a previous drug case.
Sizemore "has been in every program, and here he is again," Superior Court Judge Cynthia Rayvis said.
Rayvis recommended Sizemore be sent to the R.J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego County because of its noteworthy drug treatment program.
Sizemore, whose screen credits include "Saving Private Ryan" and "Black Hawk Down," didn't speak during the hearing. He wore orange jail clothing. Associated Press

Crime scene investigation in Australian town goes to the dogs
MELBOURNE, Australia — Crime scene investigation is going to the dogs.
Animal control officers in one southern Australian city are being trained and equipped to gather DNA clues at the scene of every dog attack on a human or pet, officials said.
The Port Phillip City Council announced that the officers will receive swabs, gloves and other equipment to collect evidence from fur, saliva, blood and excrement so they can track down dangerous animals and their owners.
A Pomeranian was being walked on a leash when it was mauled to death by two dogs in Port Phillip in 2004. DNA taken from fur and feces positively identified the offenders, which were destroyed. A magistrate fined the dogs' registered owner $7,244 for failing to control them, in what the council calls the first Australian use of dog DNA to prosecute an owner.

N.C. prison death row becomes lover's lane for one couple
RALEIGH, N.C. — It began with an inmate pen-pal program. It blossomed into poetry. It led to a marriage.
James Lewis Morgan and the former Tracy Cope are husband and wife. She, formerly of Nottinghamshire, England. He, of death row at Central Prison in Raleigh.
Tracy Morgan began her courtship of convicted killer James Morgan 41/2 years ago, visiting him in prison from England five
times before she moved to Raleigh with her 15-year-old son.
James Morgan, 52, was convicted of the November 1997 stabbing death of 34-yearold Patrina Lynette King. His new wife said they talked about the crime and it was no longer a concern to her "once I found out all the details."
The state Department of Correction said Morgan is one of two people to get married at Central Prison in the past five years. He's the only one on death row.
Prison officials allowed the couple to hold hands, hug and kiss during the wedding ceremony. But their visits will last about 1 1/2 hours a week with a glass partition.

Existence of albino mountain goat confirmed by forest rangers
MILAN, Italy — Forest rangers in the northern Italian Alps have confirmed for the first time the existence of an albino mountain goat and named him "Snowflake."
Rangers took photos of the albino capra ibex climbing with its mother Sunday at about 10,000 feet above the Les Laures valley in the northwestern Val d'Aosta region, said Christian Chioso, a regional wildlife official.
He said albinism is rare in any species and has not been previously documented among the capra ibex, a type of wild mountain goat with large curved horns that lives in mountainous areas.
Hikers had been reporting seeing a white animal at higher elevations for months, and forest rangers have been keeping a lookout, Chioso said.

The Chinese Crested dog "Elwood" appears at the 2007 World's Ugliest Dog Contest on Friday in Petaluma, Calif. Elwood, who weighs in at just six pounds and was rescued as the result of a New Jersey SPCA investigation, has won the title of World's ugliest dog of 2007.
Repugnant pooch praised World's ugliest dog resembles Jedi master
SONOMA, Calif. — Elwood, a 2-year-old Chinese Crested and Chihuahua mix, was crowned the world's ugliest dog Friday, a distinction that delighted the New Jersey mutt's owners.
Elwood, dark colored and hairless is often referred to as "Yoda" or "ET"; for his resemblance to those famous science fiction characters.
"I think he's the cutest thing that ever lived," said Elwood's owner, Karen Quigley, a resident of Sewell, N.J.
Most of the competing canines were also Chinese Crested, a breed that features a mohawk, bug eyes and a long, wagging tongue.
Elwood also earned a $1,000 reward for his owner.

Takeru Kobayashi shoves hot dogs in his mouth during last year's Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Competition in New York. Kobayashi, the six-time champion of the annual Fourth of July contest, may be sidelined by an arthritic jaw.
Injured jaw may sideline hot dog champ Kobayashi says he may sit out Fourth of July contest in N.Y.
TOKYO — The competitive eating world is already chewing on this bit of breaking news: The champ may not be able to chomp.
Takeru Kobayashi of Japan, the sixtime champion of the annual Fourth of July hot dog eating contest, may be sidelined for next week's event by an arthritic jaw.
Last year, the 165-pound Kobayashi won his sixth straight Yellow Mustard Belt at the Independence Day competition in Coney Island, N.Y., by devouring a then-world record 53 3/4 frankfurters in 12 minutes.
That mark was smashed earlier this month by Joey Chestnut of San Jose,
Calif., who gobbled up 59 1/2 hot dogs and buns at the Southwest Regional Hot Dog Eating Championship at the Arizona Mills Mall in suburban Tempe, Ariz., _ one of the qualifying events for Coney Island.
Chestnut nearly beat Kobayashi in 2006, downing 52 hot dogs and buns at the contest, which is sponsored by Nathan's Famous Inc.
But Kobayashi, 29, may not be able to defend his title. Earlier this week, he said on his Web site that his "jaw has abandoned the frontline" during his training.
"Already I can't open my jaws more than just a little bit" he wrote. "There's
no pain only if I open my mouth about enough for one finger. More than that is painful and I can't open it."
A specialist diagnosed him with arthritis of the jaw, he wrote.
"To tell the truth, I'm desperate about healing completely before the July 4 contest," he said, adding that he had begun receiving treatment at a hospital and from a chiropractor.
On Tuesday, his United Food Fighters Organization said on his Web site that Kobayashi has found a doctor he can trust and was "creating an environment in which he can dedicate himself to healing"

Gator pulls golfer into pond
VENICE, Fla. — A man who lost his ball in a golf course pond nearly lost a limb when a nearly 11-foot alligator latched on to his arm and pulled him in the water, authorities said.
The alligator latched on to Burger's right forearm and pulled him in the pond, said Gary Morse, a spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Burger used his left arm to beat the reptile until it freed him.
"I saw him reach down to get his ball and he yelled for help," said Janet Pallo, who was playing the fifth hole and ran over to drive the man to the clubhouse.
Bruce Burger, 50, was trying to retrieve his ball Monday from a pond on the sixth hole at the Lake Venice Golf Club.
Burger, from Lenoir City, Tenn., was taken to a hospital but was not seriously injured, Morse said Tuesday.
It took seven Fish and Wildlife officers an hour to trap the one-yed alligator, which measured 10 feet, 11 inches, Morse said.
The pond at the sixth hole has a "Beware of Alligator" sign.
"Unfortunately, that's part of Florida," course general manager Rod Parry said. "There's wildlife in these ponds."

Lee tries to keep basketball dreams alive
By Dylan Schoonover
dschoonover@kansan.com
Michael Lee has found that chasing the dreams of playing a game he's loved since he was a child can be painstakingly lonely.
The former Kansas basketball standout's college career ended more than two years ago against Bucknell in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Since then Lee has played basketball in other countries, toured the U.S. with a basketball team known for its flare not its national ranking and played in gyms that wouldn't hold half the fans of Allen Fieldhouse.
It doesn't get any better than playing basketball at Kansas, Lee said. He said if you don't make it to the NBA, you don't get treated as well as when you're a student athlete. After touring with the Harlem Globetrotters early in 2006, Lee accepted an offer to play in France, but recalled the time as a painful learning experience.
"If I wasn't on the court, I was miserable," Lee said. "The first day I had my car I got two speeding tickets and then got my car towed. I didn't
speak French. I couldn't communicate well with anyone."
Lee never made it past the transition process that looms for many American players in Europe. Despite the solace he received at the time from fellow European player and former teammate Aaron Miles, Lee returned to the U.S.
A fresh start waited back in Kansas with the U.S. Basketball League's Kansas Cagerz in Salina. Soon after the Cagerz point guard went down with an injury, Lee immediately faced another change in his playing career.
Instead of playing the shooting guard position that he had been familiar with his entire career at Kansas, the Cagerz cast Lee into the point guard position.
"Playing the point has made me a more versatile player," Lee said. "I feel comfortable leading and making decisions on the court now."
Lee's unstable career continued with the Cagerz. Diving for a ball, Lee's left arm went numb and ligaments inside it tore, ending his season.

Lee said returning to the University with Miles for Bill Self's Kansas Basketball Camp during the past two weeks has brought back memories of successful times in Lee's career. He said the shoulder injury is healing and he has enjoyed playing with the younger Jayhawk players. He doesn't tell the current Jayhawks more than they ask, but he does make sure to let the players know how good of a life they have at Kansas.
Lee said he was unsure whether he would ever play professional basketball again. Dealing with the unstable atmosphere of the semi-pro game is a situation Lee is still weighing. He said he may go back to college if he doesn't find a good fit with a basketball team. Despite the frustrations since college, he said he's matured and learned far more about himself through the trials.
"I can say KU is the best place in the world." Lee said. "Coach Self was so good at making sure every player improved, not just the stars of the program."
"I've learned that if nothing else, everyone is a leader of themselves," Lee said. "Right now, I like that I have options. Only time will tell where I end up."

Former Jayhawk ready to go pro
Woodland credits KU coaching staff with helping him develop into standout
By Dylan Schoonover
dschoonover@kansan.com
Gary Woodland's career as a standout performer for the Kansas golf team has concluded, but his pro-
just beginning to take flight.
Woodland ended his tenure as a Jayhawk tying for 25th at the NCAA Central Regional Tournament on May 19. Despite
Woodland
the disappointing finish, Woodland captured three tournament victories during his senior season.
Since the close of the season, Woodland has been on the amateur circuit developing his game. In September, he plans to become a professional golfer.
"I'm trying to continually better myself each day," Woodland said. "I'm excited about the chance to
become a professional."
Playinggolf wasn't Woodland's first love upon graduating from Shawnee Heights High School in Shawnee. He signed a scholarship to play basketball at Washburn University, where he continued developing his golf game on Washburn's golf team.
In relation to his golfing peers, Woodland is relatively young to the sport.
"I loved playing basketball. I had great success in the sport," Woodland said. "What it came down to was, that for me, basketball was a four-year sport. Unlike basketball, I knew in golf I might have the opportunity to play professionally."
After playing for the U.S. team in the United States-Japan Collegiate Championship on July 11-13 in Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., Woodland will be back in Kansas for one tournament before heading to Texas to continue improving with his teaching pro Randy Smith. Smith served as a second coach for Woodland throughout his senior
season.
"Ive been with Randy for over a year and a half now," Woodland said.
"Like today, I had a bad round pulling the ball, so I called him up. He calmed me down and gave me advice on what to change tomorrow."
Along with Smith, the Kansas coaching staff of Ross Randall and Kit Grove had an effect
"He has that X-factor you can't teach and when he does need help he's like a sponge learning from everything."
"Gary can do things with a golf ball that very few people can," Grove said. "He has that X-factor you can't teach and when he does need help
on Woodland's success. Woodland describes Randall as a second father to him and said Grove will be a great coach after Randall's retirement.
KIT GROVE Assistant coach
Kansas assistant coach Kit Grove said Woodland possessed skills that separated him from other players. Grove said Woodland's potential was unlimited because of his ability to build off of every round he plays.
he's like a sponge learning from everything."
Wood land said he hoped to qualify for the Walker Cup that takes place at the Royal County Down Golf Club in Ireland on September 8-9. After that event, he will choose his
sponsors and make the leap to the pros.
"Id love to play in the Walker Cup," Woodland said. "That is my final goal as an amateur."
