The body was identified as 54-year-old John Lundmark of Lawrence. Police identify body as 54-year-old man By Susan Schwarz sschwarz@kansan.com Police have identified a body found near campus earlier this month. According to a police report filed Tuesday, the body was identified as 54-year-old Lawrence resident John Lundmark. The report said Lundmark lived in the 1200 block of Ohio Street. Police do not suspect foul play, but said the investigation was ongoing. Lundmark has a brother who lives in Lawrence, but he could not be reached for comment. The body was found June 19 hanging in a shed behind a home at 12th and Louisiana streets and police said it was unclear how long the body had been there. Residents at the home found the body when investigating a foul odor. Edited by Ben Smith BOARD OF REGENTS Tuition compact approved Plan will guarantee frozen four-year tuition for freshmen By Maggie VanBuskirk mvanbuskirk@kansan.com Melissa Melling has a lot in common with her two older sisters, Molly and Marianne. She will live in the dorms, root for the basketball team, and like Molly, she will go through sorority recruitment. Freshmen do not have to enroll "It gives students a fixed, stable tuition rate from freshmen to senior year, or 48 months,"Bretz said. "It help makes the cost of college known and certain." One thing Melissa, incoming Leawood freshman, won't have in common with Molly, currently a senior, or Marianne, currently a junior, is worrying about tuition increases. The Kansas Board of Regents approved a plan Thursday, which guarantees tuition for first-time freshmen will not increase during the four years they attend the University. The freshmen class of Fall 2007 will be the first to sign on for the fixed-tuition plan. The plan is called the Four-Year Tuition Compact. Lynn Bretz, director of communications for the University, said it gives freshmen the costs of tuition as well as campus and course fees for four years in advance. On-campus housing rates will also be fixed in an optional two-year contract. The plan helps students plan for their college career. in a maximum or minimum number of hours for the plan. However, after a student attends the University for 48 months, if they are not ready to graduate, tuition returns to the standard rate, which current students and incoming transfer students pay. Because the compact tuition rate stops after four years it motivates students to graduate on time, Bretz said. "Graduating in four years is an incentive,"Bretz said. "Students will know to buckle down and get their degree now while tuition is at a stable rate." Programs that take longer than four years will be covered by the plan until the four years are up, then students will pay the standard tuition rate. Education majors pay the standard rate at the graduate level for their post-baccalaureate year. Along with tuition, course fees and required campus fees are also established for students each year. Course fees are set on a per-credit-hour basis. Course fees for Fall 2007 are $377.75. Hannah Love, Dodge City, senior, and Student Body President, said Student Senate began an initiative in 2005 asking the University to adopt a fixed tuition rate plan. Love, who pays her own tuition, said Student Senate approached the administration to stabilize tuition for the benefit of students' and parents' pocketbooks.

"It's hard not knowing." Love, a self proclaimed 'budgeter,' said when she was in high school she constantly checked the University's tuition rates. She thought the money she made working with the Dodge City Courthouse was enough to get by in college. After researching and realizing the University's tuition was on the rise, she knew she had a lot more work to do and a lot more money to save. Love said most students don't have a clue how much college costs.

Duensing is a graduate student from Blue Rapids who is starting her own photography business, Photography by Kimberly, to help supplement her income as she prepares for her career as a teacher. "Photography has been a passion of mine," Duensing said. "And teaching, though it's my dream, won't pay all the bills." During her freshman year of college four years ago, Duensing's boyfriend beat and raped her. Retrospectively, Duensing said that there were two reasons she stayed with her abusive boyfriend for 3 and-a-half years. "I was scared that if I left hed come and hurt me more, and I was scared of being alone," Duensing said. "Because it wasn't always him hitting me 24/7. He had his moments when he could be the most sensitive, caring and loving individual." Duensing said it was her newfound friends at Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall who talked to her about getting away from her boyfriend. "Some of them wanted me to press charges and go after him because of the rape," Duensing said. "But I felt I just couldn't do that without telling my parents." Duensing said that living in Margaret Amini was probably what saved her from falling into a depression and helped her get past the initial trauma. "It took those girls and a few other friends that I met in class at KU to help me realize that I couldn't do it alone, and that it was okay to lean on friends," Duensing said. Laney Allbritten, University graduate, is one of Duensing's friends who knew her during her troubled relationship. She described Duensing as "the rare type of friend that will bend over backwards to help you out if she can." Allbritten described Duensing as one of the most perseverant people she knew. "Something I've always particularly admired about Kim is that even if things weren't going smoothly, she always put her academics first," Allbrritten said. "She never hesitated to take on an extremely busy class load and many extracurricular activities. What's more, she managed to do them all exceptionally well; giving everything she was involved in her best." ALEXIS "Despite any troubles in her personal life, Kim has always managed to excel academically and within her work." Allbriten said. "When some might have just curled up in a ball in bed, Kim has always somehow found the motivation to continue to focus on what was most important to her: family, friends, and journey to becoming a teacher." Jon Goerina/KANSAN Duensing said that her friendships, as well as her relationships with her family, her instructors at the University, and now with God all helped her overcome the bad experience of her past and move on towards achieving her goals of graduating from college and becoming a teacher. Kimberly Duensing, Blue Rapids graduate student, started a photography business to help supplement her income as she prepares to career as a teacher.

By Sam Carlson scarlson@kansan.com For two nights each week, the billiard tables at The Pool Room are neglected. The action moves instead to a cluster of four poker tables in a wood-paneled corner of the bar, located at 925 Iowa St. Poker enthusiasts filled each of the 32 seats — eight per table — Wednesday night. The group that plans the events is The Poker Pub, a Lawrence-based company that organizes free poker leagues in the community. Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN The Poker Pub league schedule Monday and Tuesday The Pink Flamingo Club, 501 N. Ninth St. Games at 7 and 10 p.m. Wednesday and Sunday The Pool Room, 925 Iowa St. Games at 7 and 10 p.m. Thursday and Saturday Conroy's Pub, 3115 W. Sixth St. Games at 6 and 9 p.m. All games are free and seats are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information visit www.thepokerpub.com. Melissa Nagy, Lawrence Area Poker Pub Manager and 2004 University of Kansas graduate, said that the turnout is smallest in the summer due to the absence of students. The company, which was started in 2004 by Nagy's fiance, Leo Magsalin, has grown in the last few years from one franchise in Lawrence to several others in such cities as St. Louis, Kansas City and Phoenix. Although the Poker Pub in Lawrence usually only has one tournament per night, while Kansas City runs three or four, the operation in Lawrence is significant, Nagy said. "Lawrence holds a special place in the Poker Pub's heart," she said. "Even though our numbers are a little smaller, we try to keep it going." One possible reason for the company's subsistence is the attractiveness of the prizes offered. Nagy said that winners used to receive chip sets. Now they earn points that can be used toward a variety of items, such as iPods and laptops. Once a year, winners from the various franchises compete in a tournament in Las Vegas. The champion of that contest earns a seat at the World Series of Poker tournament. Considering the normal cost of a seat is $10,000, there is a huge incentive to winning. Tamera Stanley, a Provo, Utah, graduate student, wanted a barbecue pit. Stanley said she has won about eight tournaments in Lawrence since she participated in her first event last November and was saving up her points for a barbecue pit. She also said the action is livelier during the fall and spring because of student participation. "A lot of the students really get into it," she said. "They're really competitive." Others,however,are drawn to the games for different reasons "I do it for the social environment," said Lawrence resident David Wiglesworth. Wiglesworth said he is one of the many people who have been swept up in poker's recent popularity. "I prefer to participate rather than watch," Wiglesworth said. - Edited by Ben Smith WEDNESDAYS: Enjoy the best special in town $1 ALMOST ANYTHING ...only at THE HAWK SUMMER IS BEST EXPERIENCED AT THE HAWK VOTED BEST BAR BY KU STUDENTS TUESDAYS $1.75 Domestic Bottles $1.50 Wells FRIDAYS $3.50 Double Bacardi Drinks $2.50 Domestic Bottles $2.75 Corona & Pacifico SATURDAYS $3.50 Double Admiral Nelson, Beam & Skyy Drinks $2 Big Beers THIS WEEK: OPEN JULY 3 AND JULY 5-7 Jayhawk CAFE LAWRENCE WWW.JAYHAWKCAFE.COM We’re open every Tuesday through Saturday this summer! 1340 Ohio • 843-9273 • landlord problems • internet scams • speeding tickets, etc. Free Legal Advice LSS LEGAL SERVICES FOR STUDENTS 312 Burge Union • 864-5665 • Jo Hardesty, Director *CONTRIBUTING TO STUDENT SUCCESS STUDENT SENATE SUMMER IS BEST EXPERIENCED AT THE HAWK VOTED BEST BAR BY KU STUDENTS Jayhawk CAFE LAWRENCE WWW.JAYHAWKCAFE.COM We're open every Tuesday through Saturday this summer! 1340 Ohio • 843-9273 Save your parents the headache, call us for Save your parents the headache, call us for • landlord problems • internet scams • speeding tickets, etc . .

Claeys, 29, is trying to stop the restaurant from expanding because he says that the construction of the new restaurant is doing irrevocable damage to the historic building in which he lives at 742 1/2 Massachusetts St. The owners of Wa purchased the lower level of the building in February in hopes of opening their new location by January 2008. The owners began construction on the new location in March, but were ordered by the city to stop three days later when Claeys alerted officials that damage was being done to his home. "They basically smashed into my house and didn't give a damn," Claeys said. "The insurance people told me that there was upwards of $20,000 in damage done." Claeys said. Claeys, who lives on the upper level of the building, is trying to stop the restaurant's construction by claiming that the owners have purchased only the interior and have no right to alter the outside of the building. Jun Kim, one of Wa's owners said that the construction is having no effect on the exterior of the building and that Claeys is fighting a battle that he can't win. "He has been left with no legal options," Kim said. Kim said that the people at Wa have nothing personal against Claeys, and he said though that Claeys shares the same feeling. Kim said he was hoping to get a permit from the city sometime in the next two weeks that would allow construction to continue. Claeys said that if Wa gets its permit, he will have no choice but to sue the city. "I think hed be putting up the same fight if it was any other tenant." Kim said. "I can't let something like this go on, especially from one of my neighbors," Claeys said. On Thursday, Claeys put signs up in his windows in the upper level of the building that read "BOYCOTT WA" and asked customers to visit his Web site at www.boycottwa.com. The site lists alternative sushi restaurants in the area and provides a link to a form that visitors can fill out to receive free anti-Wa T-shirts and flyers. "The purpose of the boycott is to give the people at Wa an economic incentive to stop doing what they're doing," Claeys said. Jon Goering/KANSAN Kim said that he was actually happy Claeys decided to put the signs up and started the Web site. The restaurant even has a new item on its menu, the "Boycott Wa Roll." Lawrence resident Shelley Ford said that Claeys protest wouldn't stop BOYCOTT WA RESTAURANT BOYCOTTWA.COM DON'T EAT THERE In protest to construction near his home at 742 1/2 Massachusetts St., Jeremy Claeys, Lawrence resident, put up a sign to encourage people to boycott the Wa restaurant. her from visiting what she said was the best sushi restaurant in the area. "How they're building the new site and who it's angering doesn't make the food taste any differently," Ford said. - Edited by Ben Smith Don’t Stand IN LINE – GO ONLINE BUY 2007-08 PARKING PERMITS ONLINE 3 STEP PROCESS 1.

KU PARKING & TRANSIT The University of Kansas LAWRENCE 7/7/07 lucky for brides, businesses Date popular for summer weddings By Maggie VanBuskirk mvanbuskirk@kansan.com The commercial: A man trying to open his garage door forgets the keypad code. Over his shoulder, he asks his wife for the number. She simply says it's their anniversary. The man, feigning recognition, turns back to the keypad and, terrified, stares at the numbers in blank bafflement. For Lance Willmann, 29, the solution to such a problem is simple: Get married on an unforgettable date, 7/7/07. Not only is it the most popular date to wed this summer, but it is a godsend for forgetful husbands. "I've been engaged for the last two years and none of my guy friends have forgotten the date," said Willmann. Besides being easy to remember, the consecutive sevens in the date are considered lucky. It has become a blessed day for brides, grooms and local businesses. Christa Vagnozzi, senior editor for The Knot magazine, said, on an average Saturday in July, approximately 12,000 couples get married. But for 7/7/07 more than 38,000 couples plan to tie the knot, making it the biggest wedding date in history according to The Knot. Couples across the country are choosing this unique date and incorporating different themes like Vegas and "lucky in love." "It's fun for it to become our big day. And it will become a big day for a lot of people." Willmann said. "We did not have a lot of problems booking things because we started early. Originally, Willmann and his fiance Reagan Mainz, 22, planned to get married on July 14. After checking the calendar and noticing the triple sevens, Willmann suggested the couple move the nuptials up a week. Despite the date's popularity, Willmann and Mainz said they have had no trouble planning the event. Last year we went to a bridal fair, which really helped," Willmann said. "I'm sure if we waited it would have been difficult" Local businesses also prosper from the lucky date. Jerry Yates, owner of Randall's Formal Wear, said this was the first time July had beaten out May and June for hosting weddings. He estimated Randall's July business had increased three times as much because of the "seven phenomenon." "We really enjoy helping make their special day count," Yates said. "The more the merrier. And we are thankful for the increase in business" Larry Ojeleye, owner and manager of Affordable Limousine Service, has been asking himself why everyone wants this date. Affordable Limousine, 952 N. 3rd St, has booked four limousines for weddings on 7/7/07. It is the business' busiest weekend in July. Ojeleye said he usually expects this kind of demand only in June. Ashley Roth, cake decorator at the 6th Street Hy-Vee, said two wedding cakes are ordered for 7/17/07. One reservation was made a year in advance. Roth, Olathe senior, said many people reserved the date but most cancelled because of difficulties finding venues. Roth, who has heard brides-to-be at the bakery complaining about booking troubles, thinks the date's popularity has scared everyone off. One couple avoided the planning stress associated with 7/7/07 by choosing 7/6/07 as their nuptial date. Amy Smith and Andrew Hill, 2005 KU alumni, first considered getting married on July 7. Smith said she reserved a venue but had trouble getting a florist and photographer. Because of the short amount of time to plan — he proposed in December — they opted to wed on July 6, which was also their dating anniversary.

Taylor Miller's column made an interesting point that the government shouldn't have control over what profanity people are exposed to. For me, the column raised the issue of the role journalists — and newspapers in particuar — play in the obscenity discussion. For example, should The Kansan not MATTHEW JEFFERSON print obscenity in the paper at all or only on the opinion page or in Free BY RYAN SCHNEIDER BY RYAN SCHNEIDER KANSAN EDITOR RSCHNEIDER@KANSAN.COM The answer to speech restriction questions aren't easy to answer.

However, The Kansan has the right to determine what part of Free for All comments, letters to the editor and guest columns appear in print. The answer is simply that there isn't one. Decisions about obscene language are made on a case-by-case basis — and that's the way it should be. Just as Miller said in his column, decisions about obscentiy in society should be left to the people, not to the government. Want to see your opinion here?

LOS ANGELES — "Grey's Anatomy" star Isaiah Washington said racism was a factor in his firing from the hit ABC series after he twice used an anti-gay slur. Washington, who initially used the epithet during an onset clash with a co-star, told Newsweek magazine that "someone heard the booming voice of a black man and got really scared and that was the beginning of the end for me." He tried to make amends by expressing remorse and volunteering to enter a counseling program to understand how the confrontation got out of hand, he told Newsweek. "My mistake was believing that I would get the support from my network and all of my cast mates across the board. My mistake was believing I could correct a wrong with honesty and sincerity,"he said in the interview posted online Thursday. "My mistake was thinking black people get second chances. I was wrong on all fronts." he said. Associated Press UNLOCK YOUR FUTURE...

Results were released Tuesday by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Underwood, 24, a Grammywinning country singer, won the title in 2005. Eubanks, 49, leader of NBC's "Tonight Show" band, is a newcomer to the winner's circle. Eubanks leapt ahead of his competitors with help from Jay Leno, who encouraged viewers to vote for Eubanks and "bring honor" to the late-night NBC talk show. "I'm gonna keep this campaign going," Leno said during a recent show after sharing a photo of a shirtless Eubanks with his audience. Leno said the shot, in which Eubanks is holding a backpack and posing against a woodsy backdrop, wasn't doctored. Runners-up in the contest, which the animal rights group said drew more than 110,000 votes on its Web site, included Joaquin Phoenix, Milo Ventimiglia, Kristen Bell, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jared Leto and Lisa Edelstein. Last year, Prince and Bell, who starred on the "Veronica Mars" TV series, were picked as the two sexiest vegetarians. Previous winners also include Natalie Portman, Andre 3000, Coldplay's Chris Martin, Shania Twain, Tobey Maguire, Lauren Bush, Josh Hartnett and Alicia Silverstone. Associated Press Woman released after rapper fails to testify NEW YORK - A woman charged with assaulting and robbing Foxy Brown was released from jail after the rapper failed to appear before a grand jury to testify against her. Roshawn Anthony, 23, was released from Riker's Island on her own recognizance Thursday but still faces charges of robbery, assault and grand larceny in the alleged attack last Saturday, according to a spokesman for the Brooklyn district attorney's office. She has denied the charges. Police say Anthony and three other people teamed up to rob Brown of a Louis Vuitton bag, $500 in cash and credit cards in the East New York section of Brooklyn. The 27-year-old rapper, whose real name is Inga Marchand, is no stranger to violence. She pleaded guilty last year to misdemeanor assault charges stemming from a fight with salon workers over payment for a manicure in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. Brown is on probation in that case. Associated Press PARIS — Stella McCartney will co-host a virtual anti-fur protest next month in the online fantasy world known as Second Life.

Beaten so fiercely that most of his tail feathers fell out, the bird was euthanized, said Richard Gentles, a spokesman for the city Center for Animal Care and Control. The peacock, a male several years old, wandered into a Staten Island Burger King parking lot and perched on a car hood Thursday morning. Charmed employees had been feeding him bread when the man appeared. He seized the iridescent bird by the neck, hurled the creature to the ground and started kicking and stomping the animal, said worker Felicia Finnegan. Asked what he was doing, she said, the bird-beater explained, "I'm killing a vampire!" Employees called police,but the attacker ran when he saw them. Authorities were looking for the attacker,described as being in his teens or early 20s. It was not clear how the bird made his way to the Burger King, but a Staten Island resident who raises peacocks said he had given some to a person who lives near the restaurant. Associated Press Daytona Beach strippers forced to put clothes on — Erotic dancers in adult bars in most parts of this spring break city are going to have to wear as much clothing as most people on the beach. A federal appeals court upheld municipal zoning and nudity ordinances on Thursday after the city and Lollipops Gentlemen's Club made their cases before the court on March 23. "The bottom line is the 11th Circuit Court (of Appeals) upheld the city's authority to enforce its zoning regulations and public nudity ordinance with regard to the adult entertainment establishments,"City Attorney Bob Brown said. In other words, dancers at adult clubs that serve liquor are required to wear conservative bikinis. G-strings and pasties won't be enough to meet that requirement, the court said. Both sides were trying to reverse previous rulings. Associated Press Associated Press Ace, birdie, par, bogey, Moose? CHEYENNE, Wyo. A Wyoming golf course had more hazards this week than the usual sand traps, ponds and deep rough. They had moose. The three young moose ambled around the first three holes, took a dip in a pond, got a drink, then rested Thursday at the Little America Hotel and Resort, according to Eric Fedell, the resort's grounds and golf manager. Crews rerouted golfers around the moose, which rarely are seen so far east in Wyoming. Game and Fish Department workers later tranquilized the animals and shipped them to the Snowy Range, about 100 miles west of town. They probably came from the Pole Mountain area more than 20 miles west of Cheyenne, Game and Fish spokesman Eric Keszler said.

Two films about the Iraq War will be shown in the Solidarity! Revolutionary Center & Radical Library, 1109 Massachusetts St. "What better time to raise awareness?" said Ellen Waters, Springfield, Mo. junior, and Solidarity volunteer. Waters said she didn't want the Fourth of July to become a symbol of Americans "blindly accepting the system." "That's wonderful if someone wants to celebrate their nation," said Nancy Deleau, a Solidarity volunteer. "My concern would be that there's a whole lot of celebration without consciousness." Deleau said the films will aim to correct that problem by making people more aware of what's going on in Iraq. The first film, "Battleground: 21 Days on the Empire's Edge," is the story of two filmmakers who spent time on the front lines. The second feature, "The Dreams of Sparrows," is told by five Iraqi filmmakers and illustrates the climate of Baghdad after the United States military presence. Joe Carr, a Solidarity volunteer and a member of the Kansas Mutual Aid, said that people should avoid "mindless patriotism" and know the history behind Independence Day in order to understand what they're celebrating. "Recognize that what we think of as our freedom is coming at the cost of other people, from American Indians to enslaved blacks to the third world today that supports our entire way of life," Carr said. "If we're interested in true freedom... we need to stand with the people of the third world or the oppressed people in this country." On June 25, Solidarity volunteers joined anti-war protestors in a march down Massachusetts Street. before congregating in South Park to discuss ways to help end the war. "Some people will be reached better by a film festival and some will be reached better by a protest or a march and therefore both are necessary," she said. Deleau said that although a film festival lacks the intensity of a march, it is still an effective method of getting a message across.

Source: www.lawrencefiremed. org/fireworks Safety first on the Fourth City ordinance protects public from injury and property damage By Susan Schwarz sschwarz@kansan.com Dan Burnstein said watching fireworks has been a part of his Fourth of July celebration for as long as he can remember. Burnstein, Chicago senior, is spending his first summer in Lawrence and said the city's ban on fireworks is not likely to affect his use of them this year. Lawrence mayor Sue Hack said the ban was implemented because of citizen requests and fires that could result from the use of fireworks. Hack said that fireworks are still sold in the county and that she understood the city can not stop all fireworks from being shot off in the city, but that the police department will respond. Burnstein said most people probably associate the Fourth of July with fireworks because people always see increased marketing for the items around that time. He also said that he has never been hurt using fireworks because he has been cautious. Burnstein said that if people are not careful it is likely they will get hurt. Eve Tolefree, chief of support services for the Lawrence Fire and Medical Department, said the greatest danger people face on the Fourth are injuries to the eyes and face resulting from fireworks. Tolefree said the best way to keep the community safe is to follow the ordinance set by the city that bans fireworks. "Even though fireworks are illegal for possession, use and sale, novelty items not classified as fireworks are permitted. These are also classified as 'Safe and Sane' fireworks, which usually means fireworks that do not fly or explode." Tolefree said. Tolefree said she hopes people Such items like party poppers and sparklers were acceptable under this proviso, Tolefree said. will follow the ordinance and supervise children when they use any type of fireworks. Sergeant Paul Fellers of the Lawrence Police Department said the police will respond to both complaints of fireworks and fireworks heard while patrolling. City prosecutor Jerry Little said that last year he saw two or three cases come through the court system regarding fireworks. "A lot of the times the officers will just take the fireworks instead of sending them through the court system," Little said. The fine for the first offense of shooting off fireworks is a minimum of $100 and a maximum of $200. For the second offense the fine remains the same and the person charged can also face up to six months of jail time, Little said. Edited by Ben Smith Firework stands open for seasonal business FREDDY FREW JOY Extra day of sales keep wet weather from dampening summer celebration Kelly Campbell, Eudora, rings up fireworks for Madison Furden, 4, and her grandmother, Judi Mahaley, of Lawrence. Campbell is an employee at the Bartz Brothers Fireworks tent on the corner of 6th Street and K-10. By Tyler Harbert tharbert@kansan.com While drizzly days aren't ideal for shooting fireworks, sellers said they expect large crowds to buy Fourth of July novelties over the next three days because wet grounds are safer to use as launching pads than the usual dry grounds during the holiday. "It should make it a good year for fireworks because there's less hazard of fire," said Jim Pine, owner of Pine's Fireworks, located north of town at the teepee, off Highway 59 near Lawrence Municipal Airport. The Pine brothers, Jim, Marvin and Jerry, and their father, Howard, have operated the fireworks stand for 60 years, but Jim Pine said this will be the tent's final year because none of the brothers' children want to continue running the business. Jon Goerina/KANSAN Pine said he had $5,000 invested in the business, which paid for the land, the tent, a fireworks sales permit and a credit card system. He said the money doesn't include what he paid for the Crazy Daizys, the Knockout Brocades and all the other fireworks he bought from Walden Company Fireworks in Greenwood, Mo. For the first time in Douglas County, fireworks could be sold beginning July 1, giving stands an extra day of business. Pine was surprised at the number of people who came out to buy the novelties on Sunday. "I didn't think wed have hardly anybody but we haven't done too bad so far." Pine said. Judy Stone, administrative officer for Douglas County zoning and codes, said although tent operators have one extra day to sell this year, the same regulations — such as selling and shooting fireworks only outside of Lawrence city limits and only on private property — were still in effect. She said 17 sellers received fireworks permits this year. He said business was slow Sunday morning, but he expected sales to be up later in the day if the cloud cover lifted. He said fireworks shooters wouldn't have to worry about where they light their fuses this year because of the wet grounds. One of those permits was issued to Gary Bartz, owner of Bartz Brothers Fireworks, located on West 6th Street, near the K-10 exit. Bartz has operated his tent at the same spot for four years, and said he was preparing for his busiest day. July 4, by stocking up on employees and an extra cash register. His favorite fireworks are artillery shells, which are balls that when loaded into a narrow shooter cylinder explode high in the air and produce a colorful array of sparks.

The Wichita River surpassed its record flood level and sent floodwaters throughout the city and low-lying areas. River swells, residents flee Texas WICHITA FALLS, Texas High water from the Wichita River had forced evacuation of two neighborhoods, part of the severe flooding across Texas, and residents were uncertain Sunday when they could return. Water had risen to about 4 feet deep overnight in one neighborhood where 175 people left, although water had started gradually receding in another neighborhood of the city in north Texas, city spokesman Barry Levy said. City officials had urged residents to leave Friday and weren't sure when they could return because of concerns about contaminants in the water, he said. Around the city of Weatherford, residents who had gone back home after one evacuation were keeping on the Brazos River, which rose again after flood gates were opened at overloaded upstream reservoirs. The Brazos was expected to swell back up to around 26 feet _ a foot above flood stage _ after the opening of a fourth flood gate at Possum Kingdom Lake. The Brazos peaked above 27 feet Thursday, prompting Parker County to order a mandatory evacuation of 2,000 people. Everyone was allowed to return home by Saturday, but authorities encouraged them to seek higher ground again as the reservoir excess moved downstream Sunday.

Tainted toothpaste found in Canadian store Amusement park ride kills another worker Gabriela Garin, 21, of White Plains was killed Friday night after fastening some late-arriving riders into their seats on the Mind Scrambler, the same ride where a 7-year-old girl was killed three years ago at the landmark Playland Amusement Park in Rye. The ride was immediately shut down for the rest of the summer. Garin was "a very conscientious worker;" Tartaglia said. Garin was operating the ride, a spider-arm-shaped attraction that spins riders around in two-seat cars, park spokesman Peter Tartaglia said. She had changed shifts with a new ride operator but continued to take on a few new passengers before leaving for the night, he said. It was the fourth fatality at the park in less than four years. Associated Press He looked up, noticed Garin still on the ride and shut it down 15 to 20 seconds after it began, Tartaglia said. But Garin, who started working at the park when she was 14, already had been thrown from it, he said. The woman told the operator she would fasten the last riders into the car, and the new operator, whose name wasn't immediately available, stepped into a booth and started the ride, Tartaglia said.

Security measures were tightened in some U.S. airports Saturday after two men rammed a flaming Jeep Cherokee into the main terminal of Glasgow airport in Scotland. Travelers face taut security British incidents increase security, but not terror level By Deb Riechmann Associated Press KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine U.S. airports and mass transit systems will tighten security in response to apparent terrorist incidents in Britain, the Bush administration said Saturday. The United States, however, is not raising its terror alert status. President Bush's spokesman and the Homeland Security secretary said. "There is no indication of any specific or credible threat to the United States — no change in the overall security level," Tony Snow told reporters in Maine. Britain raised its security alert to the highest level possible, an indication that terrorist attacks are imminent. Snow said after this step was announced in London that the British government had notified the White House in advance, and that it did not provoke any change in the threat assessment in the United States. Still, U.S. officials were wary. Acting out of "an abundance of caution" during the upcoming Fourth of July holidays, Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff said the government is putting in place plans to increase security at airports, on mass transit and at transportation facilities. "Some of these measures will be visible; others will not," he said in a statement. Chertoff added that "at this point, I have seen no specific, credible information suggesting that this latest incident is connected to a threat to the homeland. We have no plans at this time to change the national threat level, although we remind everyone that the aviation threat level has been raised to orange since last fall." Orange is No.2 of five levels and indicates a high risk of terrorist attacks. The current national threat level is yellow, or the third highest, indicating an elevated threat. The Transportation Security Administration is posting more agents outside terminals at some airports, Snow said. Police stepped up curbside patrols with canine units at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates Newark Liberty in New Jersey and John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia airports in New York, took "a number of measures as we always do to respond to security situations immediately," spokesman Steve Coleman said.

"If they don't cooperate, yes I'll go that far," said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.

The boy escaped the fire, which had suddenly changed direction, but 43-year-old Tracy Houston and the boy's grandfather, 63-year-old George Houston, were killed by the flames, authorities said. A third man, 75-year-old Roger Roberson, was flown to Salt Lake City and died overnight, officials said Saturday. The fire started north of Neola, about 100 miles east of Salt Lake City, on Friday morning. By Saturday afternoon, about 23 square miles, including part of Ashley National Forest in the northeastern corner of the state, had been consumed. "A fire wall came over that hill," Utah County Sheriff Jeff Merrell told the Deseret Morning News. "The officers who were here said it just started sucking up all the air." Trevor Quick, a friend of the family, said the men apparently told the boy to run. Gov. Jon Huntsman requested aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency after being flown over the area. In California, evacuated residents were returning to their burned-out streets Saturday after a separate wildfire near Lake Tahoe destroyed more than 200 homes and charred 3,100 acres, displacing about 3,500 people.

In Utah, wind gusts Saturday were expected to reach up to 25 mph, fanning the flames even more. The cause of that wildfire was unknown. Meanwhile, north of Los Angeles, fire crews had a 19-square-mile blaze 80 percent contained, state fire department spokesman Rick Espino said Saturday. "We still have some areas of concern, but it's looking pretty good." Espino said. Four crew members had been injured battling the blaze that destroyed 12 homes and six buildings since it broke out Sunday night in steep canyons south of the San Joaquin Valley, officials said.

Father who starved kids sentenced to more jail WICHITA — The father of two young girls found starving in their home last year has been sentenced to more than five years in prison. Alex Wood was arrested last July with his wife, Jennifer Wood, after a social worker found the girls, ages 6 and 7, starving and dehydrated in the basement of their south Wichita home. Wood had pleaded guilty to two counts of felony child abuse. His wife, Jennifer Wood, had pleaded guilty to those counts, as well as one count of aggravated battery. However, the sentence Alex Wood received Thursday is about 18 months longer than the one handed down to his wife on June 8. Sedgwick County District Judge David Kaufman said he did not let the length of the wife's sentence influence his decision. Kaufman faulted Alex Wood for not protecting his daughters and seeing "that they are dying before your eyes." Wood's public defender, Jama Mitchell, had argued that although Wood neglected his girls, he did not starve them. Associated Press [Image] You probably don't care what an origination fee is.

Hornets take former Jayhawk with 13th pick in Thursday's NBA Draft Car Troubles?? * Repair & Maintenance Import & Domestic * Machine Shop Service * Computer Diagnostics Former Kansas forward Julian Wright said he was excited to be heading south to join the New Orleans Hornets as the 13th pick in the 2007 NBA Draft. Wright slid to the Hornets at 13 in what some NBA analysts called the deepest draft of the decade. Some mock drafts had Wright being selected as high as No.6. "I'm happy the Hornets took me. It's a great opportunity," Wright said by phone from New York on Thursday night. "Chris Paul is an outstanding point guard for their team and I'm looking forward to the chance to play with him." cel workouts for multiple teams. He said that despite watching players get drafted before him, he was never worried that he would fall out of the draft lottery. The lottery is comprised of the 14 NBA teams with the worst records from the previous season. Wright said before draft day that he hadn't had any contact with the Hornets and didn't know where he was going to land until right before he was chosen. Prior to the draft, Wright injured his ankle, forcing him to can- Wright left Kansas after his sophomore season to become the first Jayhawk picked in the lottery since Kirk Hinrich went 7th to the Chicago Bulls and Nick Collison went 12th to the Seattle Supersonics in the 2003 draft. Wright said he was excited to help restore a city that suffered great devastation from Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Wright said he hoped to help the city become a better place once he got there. Hornets coach Byron Scott called Wright a "poor man's Magic Johnson." Wright said it was nice to receive such a comparison, but he couldn't let the hype keep him from staying grounded. "I believe Julian made the right choice for his family and to have a career," Self said. "He made a good business decision. You can't second guess, he could have gotten hurt. He's been a good representative for KU." "I feel fortunate to be chosen," Wright said. "The NBA is tough, I'm going to play to the best of my ability. I don't have to be a scorer to help my team." and led the Jayhawks in rebounding with 7.8 boards per contest. Wright was an All-Big 12 first team selection and an honorable mention All-American. He said he was looking forward to his new career. Kansas coach Bill Self said he expected Wright to contribute immediately in the Hornets' rotation. He said Wright made a good decision to stay in the draft. Wright averaged 12 points per game during his sophomore season — Edited by Joe Caponio MLB Royals lose Sunday finale, series to White Sox By Doug Tucker Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. Jon Garland, aided by Paul Konerko's 15th home run, maintained his mastery over Kansas City on Sunday and led the Chicago White Sox past the Royals 3-1. The victory closed out a 6-1 road trip to Tampa and Kansas City for the White Sox, who had lost 11 of 13 away from home before that. Garland (6-5) went seven innings and allowed one run on seven hits and raised his career mark against Kansas City to 15-5 in 28 starts, more wins than Chicago's veteran right-hander has against any other club. In his last 11 starts against the Royals, he's 8-1 with an ERA of 2.43. The Royals loaded the bases with two out in the seventh on two singles and the only walk Garland allowed. Esteban German, on a 3-2 pitch, hit a hot shot up the middle. But Garland got a glove on the ball and slowed it down, and shortstop Alex Cintron ran in and made an outstanding play to nip German, who appeared to hesitate a second while getting out of the batter's box. Boone Logan relieved starting the eighth. Bobby Jenks pitched the ninth for his 22nd save in 24 chances. John Thomson (1-1), signed on June 22 after being released by the Toronto organization, was not quite as effective as he'd been in beating the Angels last Monday in his Royals debut. Chicago leadoff hitter and left fielder Scott Podsednik left the game after the top of the first inning with what the club said was a strained left rib muscle.

But these adults aren't the only ones gearing up for the games every wee knight. Officials from LawrenceParks and Recreation said that on any given night, it's not uncommon to see entire softball teams full of college-aged players on the fields. "Every person that's played baseball, I think ends up playing slow-pitch softball at some point." players that are from KU but I know many college-aged people are involved." The wide appeal is apparent when watching a co-ed game that sports a gray-haired, middle-aged man in the outfield and a high school girl standing on second base. The only requirement to participate in the league is that every individual must Bob Stanclift, adult sports supervisor for Lawrence Parks and Recreation, said that between the spring and summer leagues, approximately 5,800 adults participate in softball alone. He said he's glad to see the involvement of college students participating in the activities offered. JAMIE HOUSTON Lawrence senior "We try to appeal to as wide of a base as possible," Stanclift said. "It's hard to keep a head count on the exact amount of be 16 years of age. Lawrence Parks and Recreation even offers a feature on their Web site that allows people who might not have a team to play on to place a profile with information about themselves and their softball background, much like a virtual free agency market. Stanclift said this feature gave those who may not be able to form an entire team a chance to play. "Often times people who move into the Lawrence area would like to play but don't know anyone. This allows them that opportunity." Stanclift said. "If all else fails, I always tell people to just get out to the games and put their name out there to teams they like." The Lawrence Parks and Recreation adult sports leagues will bring in an estimated $225,000 in revenue in 2007. Jamie Houston, Lawrence senior said he enjoyed playing with friends while still being competitive. "Every person that's played baseball, I think ends up playing slow-pitch softball at some point," Houston said. "Having fun and trying to make that spectacular play keeps me coming out." Houston takes a lighthearted approach to the game. Those who do not fixate their anger with bad calls on people like Avery Brow. Brow is a sophomore who is umpiring his first year in the parks league. When players unleash their anger over calls they disagree with, Brow winds up on the receiving end of their rage. He said he didn't mind players' behavior too much because he enjoyed getting a piece of the revenue pie. "I ump about 12 games a week. I enjoy the money, and other than that it's fun to call strikes," Brow said. "Every night there's that one player you get a lot of crap from. Really, you just have to ignore it." —Edited by Joe Caponio MLB Hargrove resigns as Mariners manager By Gregg Bell Associated Press SEATTLE - Mike Hargrove resigned as manager of the Seattle Mariners on Sunday, saying his "passion has begun to fade" for baseball even though his team is the hottest club in the majors. Hargrove, who managed Sunday's game against Toronto, will be succeeded by John McLaren, his bench coach. McLaren's first game will be Monday against Kansas City. "There are no dark, sinister reasons for this decision. This has been my decision," the 57-year-old Hargrove said about 90 minutes before his final game with Seattle. "I've daily challenged my players to give me the best that they've got, 100 percent of what they've got that day — physically and mentally. And they've done that. Without fail, they've done that. "I have never had to work at getting that level myself — ever — until recently. I've found that I've had to work harder in making that same commitment to my bosses, to my players and to my coaches. And that's not right," Hargrove said, turning away and choking back tears. "They deserve better. They are good people. There is a good thing going on here. And it's time for me to leave." Hargrove's voice often cracked. His eyes were moist and red, remnants of a meeting he called with stunned players moments earlier. He said he initially made his decision June 20, just after a six-game losing streak. General manager Bill Bavasi said that on a scale of one to 10 on being caught off-guard, Hargrove's departure was "an 11." Hargrove agreed with Bavasi to delay leaving until the All-Star break, and Bavasi and McLaren tried to talk Hargrove into reversing his decision. "We've won seven in a row and the feeling hasn't changed. I never thought it would end like this. And I am grateful that it has," he said, adding this is probably his last job. His announcement came hours before the team tried to extend its longest winning streak in more than four years. And just before spring training, Hargrove said this was the most excited he was for any of his 16 seasons as a major league manager, which included five consecutive division titles and World Series appearances in Cleveland in 1995 and '97. Mariners chief executive officer Howard Lincoln stated before the season that Hargrove and Bavasi were on his "hot seat" after three consecutive last-place finishes in the AL West. 25% OFF TATTOOS JOE'S BODY ART 840-9553 WALK-INS WELCOME 2-6PM TUES-SAT KANSAN Coupons $300 rent or deposit On new applications only and one credit per apartment.

In May, a man crashed his pick-up truck into the front of the house, located at 1345 West Campus Rd. No injuries from the accident were reported. Chelsie Harper, Chi Omega President and Hugoton senior, said the house is livable and sorority members will be able to move into the house in August for recruitment. @ "You know as far as our house being intact fully, I think it is something that the girls will understand," Harper said. The front of the house may not be finished by the time prospective members come through fall formal recruitment in August, Harper said. She said she hoped that visitors to Chi Omega empathize with their situation. @KANSAN.COM The construction on the damaged area of the house took some time to begin, Harper said. She said the repairs A photo gallery of the damage at the Chi Omega house. to the house's exterior proved difficult because the building is a historical landmark. Because of this, the construction crews must comply with several requirements from the National Register of Historic Places. All construction materials must be of the same type as those of the pre-existing structure. Once the materials — such as limestone — are delivered, the construction could begin. No completion date has been released. A piano and other furniture in the house were also damaged by the truck. Harper said the furniture needs to be recovered and the piano needs to be sanded. Edited by Ben Smith 2017 Jon Goering/KANSAN Construction began to repair the Chi Omega house after a truck being chased by police crashed into the house in the early morning hours of May 6. The truck, a Dodge Dakota, being driven by a 23-year-old male, was traveling at speeds up to 80 mph and narrowly missed a group of students relaxing in the Chi Omega fountain.

Jon Goering/KANSAN The institute's summer program is in its fourth year at the University. Piano professor Jack Winerock said the University's well-respected piano division and its location in the middle of the country made it an ideal host for the program.

Mike Repper, a 16-year-old high school student from Laguna Niguel. Calif., said the program is not all business. "It combines a lot of learning with a lot of fun," said Repper, who is participating in the program for the seventh consecutive year. Winerock said the month-long event was especially important to the University and the future of its piano program. With so much young talent in one spot, the event serves as an excellent recruiting tool, he said. Edited by Joe Caponio Two more Gala recitals will follow, one on July 18 and one on the final day of the program, July 25. Winerock estimated that there were around 10 current students majoring in piano who participated in the program before enrolling at the University. in the program. Susi said the course of study not only provided him with a network of friends, but it also gave him an opportunity to strengthen his relationship with Winerock, who Nick Susi, St. Louis junior, is one such student. Susi, a student in the 2004 program and a counselor in 2005, said his college choice was greatly influenced by his experience he met in 2004. "If he didn't teach here, I wouldn't be here," Susi said.

Students and faculty can officially begin using Park and Ride lots in August, even if they do not have a Park and Ride permit, the Parking Department announced this month. The move is aimed at reducing campus congestion. Lots now open to all permits in effort to reduce campus congestion By Maggie VanBuskirk mvanbuskirk@kansan.com Park and Ride has opened its lots to all KU parking permits officially beginning in August. Parking Department officials said accepting any permit will encourage students to utilize the lot and help decrease congestion on main campus. Campus parking is becoming increasingly difficult for students especially with construction on lots 91 and 94 near Memorial Stadium said Danny Kaiser, assistant director for the parking department. He said opening the Park and Ride lots is a viable alternative for students and faculty having trouble finding open parking spaces. "You don't have to hunt for a place to park," Kaiser said. "You can park immediately and hop on a bus to go to campus." Kaiser said Park-and-Ride lots hold 1,400 spaces. The parking department has sold only 900 Parkand-Ride permits this year. Park and Ride permits are still available for purchase. They cost $205 and include a KU on Wheels bus pass. Kaiser said when the Park and Ride permits begin to sell out, the lots will return to only accepting Park and Ride permits. Students and faculty must have a KU parking permit to park in the Park and Ride lots or they can park in the meters, Kaiser said. He said violators will be ticketed. Edited by Joe Caponio China joins list of 2008 study abroad locations The University plans to start its first ongoing study abroad program in China for Summer of 2008. The program would allow University students to study at Central China Normal University in the eastern town of Wuhan, which is located about 300 miles inland from the port city of Shanghai. The program would run every summer for five to six weeks. William Tsutsui, director of the Confucius Institute, said that a good deal of the program's expenses will be covered by scholarship funds, making it relatively inexpensive for students. Tsutsui said that having an ongoing study abroad program in China available to University students was vital because of the importance of China in today's world. "There's so much interest in China now that it's important to promote the language and culture, especially in an area like Kansas City where it's hard to find good information about the country," he said. Tsutsui said more information about the program would become available to interested students in the fall semester. — Joe Caponio Learn Your Own Way KU Independent Study Study and learn wherever you are Choose from 150 available courses Enroll and begin anytime 785-864-5823 www.ContinuingEd.ku.edu Check with your academic advisor before enrolling.

The University announced late last week that Roberts will be the speaker at the Vickers Memorial Lecture in the Lied Center, April 30. Emily Williams, Overland Park senior who is currently interning for the National Democratic Party in Washington, D.C., this summer said that Kansas is Y Roberts quickly becoming a political battleground and it is great to see the University bringing in speakers of a higher quality and profile. Williams said she is looking forward to hearing Roberts's speech because he is likely to speak on something that will affect everyone. "Political bipartisanship aside, he is making a contribution to our @ KANSAN.COM Vote in our online poll about Chief Justice Roberts' visit to campus nation, and we as students of KU should give him a warm reception and honor our university," Williams said. Williams said the University has many student leaders not only in the democratic and republican parties but in Student Senate as well. Williams said she thought these people will benefit from hearing Chief Roberts speak. The lecture series is named after a KU alumnus, J.A. Vickers. Toni Dixon, director of communications for the business school, said the unique part about this year's lecture is that it is in cooperation with the School of Law. Traditionally the School of Business would engage a speaker for the Vickers Memorial Lecture, which started in 1969. Dixon said that Stephen McAllister, professor of law, once worked as a clerk for the Supreme Court and used his connections to help plan the visit. Dixon said Roberts had to be scheduled a year in advance. and that the focus was on getting Roberts for the 2008 lecture. Dixon said the goal of the lecture is to bring important public officials to the University to discuss topics of interest. The topic Roberts will address has not yet been set, but Dixon said she expected the lecture to appeal to a number of people since the decisions Roberts makes affect them as citizens. "It is a rare opportunity to hear from someone placed that highly in the judicial system." Dixon said. Dixon said the business school hopes for a variety of people to attend the lecture and said she expected people in the Kansas City community would want to attend as well. The lecture will be held in the Lied Center, which seats 2,000. Though the event is free, a ticket will be required for admittance. A certain amount of tickets will be held for both business and law students, but they will become available to the public in 2008 but the exact date has not been announced.

OFF" "SPF 3000" Grant Snider/KANSAN 》 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR 'Big Brother'a big disappointment for Kansas The news that two Kansans, including a University of Kansas student, may be spending parts of their summer on national television should be exciting. However, I feel just the opposite about the news. The reason is simple — this is not the show that will put Kansans or Jayhawks in the right light. Carol Journey and Jessica Hughbanks will both certainly gain national followings and popularity for their roles on the reality TV show, but is this really the best way to become a star? Especially this summer, when CBS is banking on viewers tuning in three days a week to watch feuding friends battle it out on national television. In the end, both will likely come out of the experience with numerous embarrassing moments, along with a reputation for maintaining what appears to be a meaningless high school feud. Despite the likely chance of lifelong humiliation, the show has BY RYAN SCHNEIDER KANSAN EDITOR RSCHNEIDER@KANSAN.COM "It's a major point of gossip at this point," Lisa Wehkamp, girl's dance coach at Campus High School in Haysville told a Kansan reporter. "It's national exposure." excited the small town of Haysville, because two of its own have made it to national television. It certainly is national exposure, but is this really the way the town of Haysville wants to be portrayed in front of the nation? Critics may say that the show provides mindless entertainment and a glimpse into the life of people being confined in a house for a summer. While that certainly is true, that viewpoint leaves out the near certainty that people around the nation will form an opinion (true or not) about Kansans and KU students.

Montgomery has decided to participate in the Ringside World Championships in July along with a few others who train at the gym. Two graduates hope to spark renewed interest in sport with new gym Jon Goering/KANSAN By Alaide Vilchis Ibarra avilchis@kansan.com Two University graduates recently realized that there was no place in Lawrence for residents to practice boxing, so they took matters into their own hands. Justin Montgomery and Walter Ewert opened the first boxing gym in town last month in North Lawrence. "We did a lot of stuff. We put in a lot of sweat equity on this," Montgomery said. "My business partner and I are very good with our hands, so we built and did most of the work ourselves." After talking to the owner of a gym that was closing in Leavenworth, Montgomery and Ewert bought the gym's equipment for a fraction of the retail price. Ewert said that after they found a building to invite for practice — they had previously trained in Montgomery's basement — they started inviting friends to train with them. But They opened Walt's Boxing Gym, 1845 E.1450 Rd., without having to interest grew beyond their circle of friends, and the idea developed into a business.

Today, the gym has about 20 paying costumers, and Montgomery said he expected more people to join after students came back to town in the fall. He also said that although he does not know the specific date, he wants to have a formal grand opening to the gym to call more attention to it. The gym offers classes aimed at people who want to experience the workout of a boxer without actually having to fight. "I'd like to grow in Lawrence to support local fights in Lawrence," Montgomery said. "Some sort of a community effort to maybe see if boxing can have a comeback." "We want to help people understand they can work out as a boxer without ever getting punched." Montgomery said. Basic conditioning takes place from Monday to Thursday evenings from 5:30 to 7 and from 7:30 to 9. If a member wants to actually box and participate in competitions, Eric Riley, trainer at Haskell Indian Nations University's boxing club, trains boxers and finds them other opponents at a beginner's level to fight against. The gym's fees vary. Members can sign a contract for six months and pay $44 per month. People can also buy a punch card that includes a number of classes for $5 per class. Walk-ins are $10 for up to two one-and-a-half-hour sessions.

Udall Foundation is celebrating its 10th anniversary through a year-long celebration. The culmination of the celebration is a cross-country bus tour, which stopped in Lawrence on July 9. The Udall Foundation was established by Congress in 1996 in honor of Morris K. Udall for his service in the U.S. House of Representatives. The foundation awards scholarships, fellowships and internships for studies related to the environment and Native American issues. "We have a 'cooking oil to bio-diesel' plant that is just getting up and running, a Center for Sustainability that is only a semester old and a renewable energy and sustainability fund that just got passed in the Student Senate elections," Red Corn said. Thirteen Udall alumni are traveling on the tour, which began in Washington, D.C. in June and ends in Tuscon, Ariz., in August. They are traveling in the first ever "green certified" bus. Eli Zigas, communications manager for the Udall Legacy Bus Tour said the tour is a way to highlight the work of Udall alumni and the initiatives of their communities. He said there are a number of University Udall alumni, which made Lawrence a destination on the tour.

The Lawrence visit was the group's 16th stop on the tour, with visits to 15 more cities planned, including Denver, San Francisco and Seattle. Severin said considering the number of communities on the tour, it is a privilege Lawrence was chosen. "Its really an honor to be included among the other cities the tour bus is visiting and it's an opportunity to show what we are doing in Lawrence," said Severin. The Udall bus will head to Colorado next. —Edited by Ben Smith Domestic LAWRENCE & Foreign AUTOMOTIVE Complete DIAGNOSTICS Car Care INC.

Christopher Johnson, professor of music and associate dean of the School of Fine Arts, completed a report, recently published in the Journal of Research in Music Education which said that the quality of music programs relates to participating students' test scores. Although there have been other studies that have looked at how students involved in music programs have scored on their standardized tests, Johnson said his was the first to study how the quality of the music program related to test scores. Johnson studied 4,739 elementary and junior high school students from across the country. He found that the students who participated in good music programs scored higher on standardized tests than students who participated in weaker programs or no programs at all. EDUCATION Johnson said the publication of the report The National Association for Music Education determined the quality of each program studied. The report, which Johnson worked Do you think music makes you smarter? Vote in our online poll. on for about two years, gained attention even before its publication. In February, Johnson was invited to present his findings to members of Congress. @ KANSAN.COM @ "There is a high level of contingency on being focused and concentrating and doing it right," he said. "There's also a need for making it perfect." Johnson compared music with other subjects to illustrate his point. PATRICK KELLY Lawrence Public Schools comes at a crucial time, as people are speculating that some music programs around the country are being cut. As for Johnson's thoughts on the possible explanations for his research findings, he said that music demands discipline and intensity, skills that can transfer over to other aspects of students' lives.

Ten feet away, five observers in shorts and T-shirts stood by and watched the combatants' feet and hands move through the various motions of medieval field warfare. All of a sudden the clashing stopped and the two men stepped away from each other. The practice session ended. John Kearbey, one of the fighters, removed his helmet. "I hope you had fun," Kearbey said to his opponent. The other fighter nodded. He had had fun. They are the Society for Creative Anachronism Inc., an international group that focuses on recreating pre17th century Europe. They meet every Tuesday from 6:30 to 7 p.m., in South Park to practice their medieval fighting skills and exchange historical information. "We are all history geeks for the most part with an interest in medieval life," said Richard Jones, a Lawrence resident and 27-year society member. Jones is known in the SCA world as Richard Wolfwood, a 10th or 11th century Hasting Anglo-Saxon. Members of SCA choose the name @ @ KANSAN.COM Photo gallery of the Society for Creative Anachronism. of a person who lived prior to the 17th century. Through research the members choose clothes and weapons fitting to their chosen medieval personage and become that historical character. Travis Wittner, another SCA member, plays Udutaitoghan, a 13th century Mongol. "We research very heavily everything that we do," Wittner said. "We try to exclude as much of the modern world as possible except for medicine in case someone gets hurt in a battle." SCA holds events worldwide but members regularly attend those held in their "kingdoms." The "Kingdom of Calontir," to which the Lawrence chapter belongs, includes chapters in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and parts of Arkansas. Events include a tournament, staged battles involving up to 300 people and individual jousting. Wittner said he had been a 20 year member and he still loves it. "To hear the cannons go off it just fills you with endorphins and adrenaline and you go rush each other and hear the clash and clatter of everyone hitting. There is nothing like it," he said. Each member wears protective gear from the era which is either handmade by the members or bought at SCA events. Not all SCA members participate in the fighting. As Jones put it, the fighting is just the "easy to see part." Meg Brandt, a non-traditional student from Hillsboro who makes 14th century costumes, said she has tried fighting but can not bring herself to hit a friend. Brandt got into the SCA when she was 17 years old. Now, nine years later, she said she used SCA activities to unwind and get away from everyday life. "It's like kind of stripping away from the modern world for a little while," Brandt said. She said that people experience a "magic moment" when they separate themselves from the modern world. "It's that moment when you see modern things but you don't register them," Brandt said. "Sometimes its speeding, sometimes it lasts forever. You have hours where you forget where you are without ever really losing track of yourself." Brandt said that, because of her age, she doesn't fit in with other students so she spends most Friday nights with her SCA friends. After Tuesday's practice, while Kearbey and his opponent divested themselves of their armor, other group members talked about a member who was recently knighted. When they had gathered up all of their equipment they finally retired to the Jackpot Saloon for a beer.

By Tyler Harbert tharbert@kansan.com The reality is that a 21-year-old student left the University — as well as her role as a Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader — to enter a contest for a chance at $500,000. The entertainment value of her situation is that she has to be secluded within a camera-filled house with 12 total strangers who are trying to outfox her for their own stakes at $500,000. Oh yeah, and one other house mate is her arch-rival, a nemesis dug up from a past conflict in her life. The student's name is Carol Journey and her biography on the CBS Web site for the "Big Brother 8" reality television program is similar to the other cast members. She lists her favorite actresses, her favorite alcoholic drink and her favorite sports team: Hers happens to be the Kansas Jayhawks. Journey, a junior in business at the University, was a Rock Chalk Dancer for three years until she tried out for and made the Kansas City Chiefs cheering squad, where she would have worked this fall had the filming for "Big Brother" not overlapped with cheer rehearsal times. Cat Jarzemkoski, spirit squad coordinator at the University, said she knew Journey was involved with something, but Journey couldn't tell her what. Jarzemkoski wasn't surprised that Journey was picked for the show or as a Chiefs cheerleader. "She's incredibly talented," she said. "She's pretty much a go-getter." Lisa Wehkamp, the girls' dance team coach at Campus High School in Haysville, thinks that the conflict between the contestants could stem from a fight between Journey and her freshman-year friend Jessica Hughbanks. "I don't know the details." Wehkamp said. "They typically don't tell teachers those things." Wehkamp had both Journey and Hughbanks on the dance team when the girls were in ninth grade. After the first year, Hughbanks became a cheerleader and Journey stayed with the dance team for her remaining three years of high school. "I do know that at the beginning of ninth grade they were friends and by the end of ninth grade they weren't @ KANSAN.COM Updates on Carol Journey's life in the Big Brother house. friends," Wehkamp said. Despite the controversy, Wehkamp said it was a big deal when a major television network plucked two small-town women out of their lives and plugged them in front of cameras for 24 hours a day. She said the entire town will be watching. "It's a major point of gossip at this point," she said. "It's national exposure." What exactly Journey will be exposed to or exposing during filming has her father Phil feeling apprehensive. "Absolutely," said Phil, a Wichita attorney who is also a Kansas Senate republican from District 26. "There's always that possibility she does something that leads over to my life." Phil can't legally discuss the specifics of Carol's situation on the show because of a contract with CBS. He couldn't even talk to people about the show when a network camera crew came to his home several weeks ago, shot a quick profile of Carol and her family and then pulled her away from the Midwest and took her to Los Angeles. Phil said Hughbanks might not be Carol's biggest struggle. "I'm sure she's going through electronic withdrawal," he said. When Carol told her father she was selected for the show, he immediately started researching the program on the Internet. He said he found Web sites that featured "every nitty-gritty detail" about cast members from previous seasons. He said he won't worry about what people say online about Carol. "I'm kind of a computer guy, so I'm pretty familiar with Internet behavior," Phil said. "It's different from how we actually converse." How long does he think his daughter will last on the show, where one house member usually gets eliminated from the show once a week? Though Carol has already been nominated for elimination, she is still in the house as of press time. "She'll make it at least halfway through," Phil said, and he hopes he'll be able to watch the show without having to shield his eyes. "The last thing I told her was, 'Daddy' will be watching." — Edited by Joe Caponio The show airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. and Thursdays and Sundays at 7 p.m. on CBS.

Some members of the 28th annual summer workshop were quick to point out the difference between "sci-fi," which they said was a term reserved for cheesy television shows and movies about ray guns and space ships, and science fiction. They also said that there were many camps of science fiction writers, sci-fi fans and enthusiasts. Gunn, professor of English, hosts a summer workshop and a summer course dedicated to "SF" writing every year where he and his students work to create quality science fiction. The workshop finished on July 4, and the summer course began Monday. What distinguishes the workshop from others, Gunn said, was its brief duration. Most workshops tend to be about six weeks long. "I wanted to offer people the opportunity to get as much as they could out of two weeks as they could get out of six." Gunn said. "In other workshops there are a lot of assignments. I wanted to deal with stories that people had already written." The workshop writers dined together at Mrs. E's and discussed the nature and theory of "SF" literature. Eighteen people from all over the world came to live on the fourth floor of Lewis Hall and work with Gunn from June 26 to July 4. Two of the 18 have also stayed to attend the regular summer class as students of the University. Apart from having taught at the University since the late 1950s, Gunn is the author of several novels and short stories in the science fiction genre. He began writing short stories in the late 1940s and was recently named a Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America. The summer class requires students to read Gunn's fourbook series, The what made the "SF" story format unique. "Unlike the mystery, the western, the gothic, the love story or the adventure story, to cite a few of the categories to which it is often compared, science fiction "There's no better way to teach students philosophy than to wrap their minds around science fiction." Road to Science Fiction, which starts with the epic of Gilgamesh and continues through contemporary "SF." In an essay entitled Teaching Science Fiction, Gunn talked about RYAN NICHOLS Philosophy teacher has no identifying action or place," he said. "Readers do not recognize it, as they recognize other genres, because of some defining event or setting. As a consequence, science fiction can incorporate other genres." Ryan Nichols, philosophy teacher at California State- Fullerton, is one of the two students staying on to take Gunn's class. "There's no better way to teach students philosophy than to wrap their minds around science fiction," Nichols said. Gunn spent the first few minutes of the last workshop reading excerpts from his collection of original short stories, Future Imperfect, and talking about his encounters with writers such as William S. Burroughs, Frederik Pohl, Isaac Asimov and James Campbell. Gulserene Dastur, novelist and workshop attendee from Geneva, Switzerland, called Gunn a remarkable man. "He's part of the golden age," Dastur said.

Writing 'I love you' carries harsh punishment KATY, Texas — Writing "I love Alex" on a school gymnasium wall brought a 12-year-old the same punishment as if she had made terrorist threats. The Katy Independent School District rated the message, written with a baby blue marker by sixth-grader Shelby Sendelbach, as a Level 4 infraction — the same as for threats, drug possession and assault. Associated Press Only murder, gun possession, sexual assault and arson are considered more severe by the suburban Houston district. School district spokesman Steve Stanford said the district was just following a state law, saying it requires assignment to an alternative school for graffiti. Leaf-covered man robs New Hampshire bank MANCHESTER, N.H. — Leaf it to New Hampshire, where a bank branch was held up by a man disguised as a tree. Just as the Citizen Bank branch opened Saturday morning, a man walked in with leafy boughs duct-taped to his head and torso, and robbed the place Police said the leafy man didn't say anything about having a weapon, just demanded cash, and was given an undisclosed amount. Although the branches and leaves obscured much of the man's face, someone who saw images from the bank's security camera recognized the robber and called police. Officers said James Coldwell, 49, was arrested early Sunday at his Manchester home and charged with robbery. Arraignment was not expected until Monday. Associated Press BONNER SPRINGS — Nearly 4,800 fluorescent yellow golf balls are missing from a suburban Kansas City golf course after someone raided the facility's driving range. 4,800 golf bails stolen from KC area golf course Sunflower Hills Golf Course head professional Jeff Johnson said it would have taken someone hours Sunday night to pick the balls up from the range, where they were scattered after being hit earlier in the night.

Liquor and convenience stores in the state's largest city started selling alcohol Sunday after an attempt to force a citywide vote to continue the ban of sales on the first day of the week had failed. Liquor store owners and employees around town said Sunday's sales rivaled those of Saturday as some outlets offered discounts to attract customers. The Wichita City Council approved the expanded sales in April, but the law didn't go into effect until this week because opponents tried to force a citywide vote to keep Sundays dry. Associated Press Reward in Smith case to be divided three ways LENEXA — A $27,000 reward will be divided evenly among three people whose tips led to the arrest of a man accused of abducting a teenager from a Target store parking lot and strangling her. During a news conference Monday in Lenexa, members of the Greater Kansas City Crime Stoppers TIPS hot line declined to identify the three tipsters. Members of the Crime Stoppers board formally approved the distribution of the reward during a meeting earlier in the day. Car Troubles?? Car Troubles?? * Repair & Maintenance Import & Domestic * Machine Shop Service * Computer Diagnostics Associated Press The reward was offered after 18-year-old Kelsey Smith's June 2 kidnapping from an Overland Park Target store was captured on surveillance cameras. Her body was found four days later in a park on the Missouri side of the Kansas City metropolitan area,after a barrage of media coverage that helped generate 1,400 tips,including a record 160 calls to the TIPS hot line during a single eight-hour shift. DON'S AUTO CENTER "For all your repair needs" 841-4833 920 E. 11th Street Wild West World closes after poor attendance WICHITA — Blaming the poor weather for attendance woes, Wild West World filed for bankruptcy just two months after the $30 million destination theme park opened in suburban Wichita. The theme park, which opened to the public in Park City on May 5, announced Monday it would close immediately and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company said it was looking for a new buyer with "deeper pockets" to run the park. The bankruptcy leaves hundreds of unpaid creditors — including Park City, which is owed more than $2 million for industrial revenue bonds and other equipment in a lurch. The bankruptcy filing lists millions more owed to banks, ride manufacturers, vendors and season ticket holders. Associated Press STATE STOPAGE ASSOCIATED PRESS Coffeyville residents displaced by the recent flood await their turn to board busses for a tour of the restricted area Monday in Coffeyville. Coffeyville residents return to homes after flood, oil spill By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press City officials gave residents bus tours into once-flooded sections, but kept people on the buses because of fears about health hazards left behind by the contaminated water. WICHITA — Floodwater receded from most sodden neighborhoods in Coffeyville, giving many residents Monday their first well-orchestrated glimpse of the devastation left behind by an oil spill amid the torrential rains that flooded their town. "A flood can pose more human health hazards than a tornado because floodwaters carry contaminants and bacteria. Fecal coliform levels is just one example of the concern," said Sharon Watson, spokeswoman for Kansas Emergency Management. Two floodwater samples from Coffeyville showed the level of fecal coli form bacteria was more than 130 times the standard, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said. The bacteria can cause stomachache, fever, vomiting and diarrhea. A cut or a wound at the point of contact with the bacteria can lead to fever, redness and swelling, the EPA said. Even though most of the floodwater has receded, people would have to walk through some pockets of it or touch it as they go through their homes.

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People delegates from across the country gathered Monday and marched about a quarter-mile to Hart Plaza for a ceremony and rally. Along the way, two Percheron horses pulled a pine box on top of which sat a bouquet of fake black roses. The N-word has been used as a slur against blacks for more than a century. DETROIT - There was no mourning at this funeral. Hundreds of onlookers cheered Monday afternoon as the NAACP put to rest a long-standing expression of racism by holding a public burial for the N-word during its annual convention. Delegates from across the country marched from downtown Detroit's Cobo Center to Hart Plaza. Two Percheron horses pulled a pine box adorned with a bouquet of fake black roses and a black ribbon printed with a derivation of the word. The coffin is to be placed at historically black Detroit Memorial Park Cemetery and will have a headstone. "Today we're not just burying the N-word, we're taking it out of our spirit," said Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. "We gather burying all the things that go with the N-word. We have to bury the 'pimps' and the 'hos' that go with it." He continued: "Die N-word, and we don't want to see you 'round here no more." The N-word has been used as a slur against blacks for more than a century. It remains a symbol of racism, but also is used by blacks when referring to other blacks, especially in comedy routines and rap and hip-hop music. "This was the greatest child that racism ever birthed," the Rev. Otis Moss III, assistant pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, said in his eulogy. Public discussion on the word's use increased last year following a tirade by "Seinfeld" actor Michael Richards, who used it repeatedly during a Los Angeles comedy routine and later issued a public apology. The issue about racially insensitive remarks heated up earlier this year after talk show host Don Imus described black members of the Rutgers University women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos" on April 4. McCain presidential campaign officials fired WASHINGTON — John McCain's campaign manager and chief strategist are gone from their leadership roles, a major staff shake-up for the struggling Republican presidential candidate who is all but broke and trails in opinion polls. In statements, Terry Nelson, a veteran of President Bush's successful 2004 re-election effort, said he resigned as campaign manager effective immediately and John Weaver said he stepped down from his post of chief strategist on Tuesday. But other officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid discussing private conversations, said Nelson was fired. Associated Press White House urges more patience in Iraq WASHINGTON — A report citing a lack of progress by the Baghdad government is only "a look at the starting line" of the U.S. troop surge and shouldn't be used by critics to demand withdrawal, President Bush's spokesman said Tuesday. "What Congress will get this week is a snapshot of the beginning of the retooling of the mission in Iraq," said Snow, who defended the administration's war policy and argued that it's too soon to be talking about end-game strategies. "Some of the benchmarks have been made, some of them haven't;"said Snow, confirming comments that a senior administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, made to The Associated Press earlier.

Spokeswoman Kathy Holleman wouldn't release their names but said the injuries were minor. Both were expected to make a full recovery. Collette and her band, The Finish, were among the acts that appeared Saturday at the Sydney edition of Live Earth, the global concert series that aimed to raise awareness about global warming. Soon after the concert, Knowles arrived at the hospital, said head nurse Darryl Williams. "She was just very concerned about the people injured in the audience," Williams said. "It was unannounced and we kept it very low-key so that she could spend time with them." Collette was nominated for an Academy Award in the best supporting actress category for her role in 1999's supernatural thriller "The Sixth Sense," and her more recent roles include a mother in the dysfunctional family comedy "Little Miss Sunshine." It will be the first child for the 34-year-old Australian actress and her musician husband, Dave Galafassi. Knowles, 25, met with the fans for about 45 minutes. "I just thought it was a great thing for someone of her stature to do," Williams said. A spokesman for Houston-based Music World Entertainment, which represents Knowles, declined comment. — Toni Collette had been leaning toward motherhood roles, and now she thinks she knows why: The Oscar-nominated actress confirmed Monday that she's pregnant. "It is strange the last three films I've done I have been pregnant," said Collette, who is currently in Sydney with her side project, a rock'n'roll band that includes Galafassi on drums.

KANSAN FILE PHOTO Arthur injures leg, out at least a month Stress fracture in lower leg will cause sophomore to miss FIBA U19 games By Dylan Schoonover dschoonover@kansan.com For the second time this offseason, a Jayhawk basketball player will be sidelined with a leg injury. Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur suffered a stress fracture in his lower left leg and will be forced to miss the 2007 FIBA U19 World Championship in Serbia. Arthur said in a press release that he was disappointed to miss the World Championship. He had been playing with the injury since July 3 but said he didn't think it was a fracture. "I thought it was just tendonitis or something and I would be able to play through it," Arthur said in a press release. "The trainer told me to see the doctor and after some tests he confirmed it was a stress fracture and I would be out a month or two. When I heard it was a stress fracture, I was surprised." Arthur was one of 12 players selected nationally to represent the United States Under 19 squad. According to the press release, Arthur said he had never traveled overseas and would have enjoyed the opportunity to play in Serbia. @ KANSAN.COM Get the latest news about the Jayhawks at the Jayhawk Sports Report blog. Kansas coach Bill Self said in the press release that he understood Arthur's disappointment. Self said the injury should be healed in four-to-six weeks. "He did very well in Dallas and was expected to play well in Serbia representing our country," Self said. If this had to happen, it was good it happened now because we expect a complete recovery and for him to be at full speed before the start of school." Arthur will return from practicing in Dallas and begin treatment this week in Lawrence. Both Arthur and junior Brandon Rush have suffered leg injuries this summer. On May 29, Rush tore his ACL before working out for NBA teams. Rush had surgery and is expected to be out until at least November. - Edited by Joe Caponio 25% OFF TATTOOS JOE'S BODY ART 840-9553 WALK-INS WELCOME 2-8PM TUES-SAT *740 minimum KANSAN Coupons $300 rent or deposit On new applications only and one credit per apartment.

Jon Goering/KANSAN She said she rarely strays from a balanced demeanor and isn't going to be the player in the locker room hyping the rest of players up before a game. She prefers to lead by example, letting her game do the talking. Off the court, the sophomore guard's voice is heard more often. She said she calls her mother five times a day. She also communicates daily with Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson, the woman who makes McCray feel like "family" and persuaded McCray to come to Kansas, instead of national power Duke. "I talk to coach Bonnie every day that she is in town," McCray said. "A lot of players love to talk to our assistants but I'm the only one that has the close bond in talking to coach. She even calls and talks to my mom, too." McCray said Henrickson always stayed on her to get better on the court but helped her grow as a person as well. McCray said that while in high school, the competition didn't challenge her. She said she was a little overweight coming into college and hadn't taken practice as seriously as she should have. McCray has since slimmed down and learned that practice is often more important than the game. "Coach Bonnie and I really are like the same person," McCray said. "She never yells but she'll come over and tell me the negatives with my playing. I like it though, it motivates me to prove I'm better than that." McCray said she loves playing for Kansas, but prior to Henrickson coaching at the University, McCray had her sights on other places. "When I moved to Kansas, I came to a KU game and I didn't like this school," McCray said. "I remember they got blown out by 30 to K-State and I didn't like that." McCray said that when Henrickson became the coach, her perception about the school started to change. She said while Duke only communicated to her through the assistant coaches, Henrickson talked directly to her and her family. The personal connection may be paying off. In five of the final six games last season, McCray scored in double figures, including a careerhigh 25 points in a double-overtime victory against rival Kansas State. McCray said she had begun to accomplish her goal of starting a winning tradition at Kansas similar to that of the men's team. She said she hoped that her time at Kansas could define the path of the program for years to come. Despite being second on the team in scoring and named to the All-Big 12 freshman team, McCray said she felt she underachieved last season. She said this year she would make the transition to guard after being a forward last season. Over the course of the summer, McCray has used the time to improve her ball-handling skills and lifts weights to strengthen her inside game. She said she enjoyed working Henrickson's basketball camps and watching the children playing around her. She said it was fun signing autographs for the children who look up to her and her teammates. McCray and her teammates will leave August 3 on an exhibition tour against semi-pro teams in Australia. The team will play four games during the tour and get to take in some of the sights in Australia during the off days. "Ive never been out of the United States," McCray said. "I picture playing like these big girls with weird Edited by Joe Caponio uniforms. Either way I know it will be a great experience." Administrator takes job as UNC-Wilmington AD Kansas senior women's administrator Kelly Mehrtens was named the new athletics director at UNC-Wilmington, the school announced Monday. Mehrtens had been at Kansas for nearly four "I'm extremely excited about the opportunity to lead the UNCW athletic department," Mehrtens PRESIDENT Mehrtens said. "We have a terrific group of coaches, staff and student athletes who are committed to athletic and academic excellence." At Kansas, Mehrtens assisted on the University's fund-raising team for athletics that raised $19 million for facility improvements in three years. At UNC-Wilmington, she will make the same $171,000 per year she made at Kansas. — Kansan staff report NEED CASH? Get Instant Money Today Donate plasma.

Michelle M. Bhaskar, Overland Park freshman, was reported by her boyfriend to have been taken in her car by what were described by police in an early press release as two unidentified black males, one of whom was armed with a gun. Bhaskar's boyfriend said that he had been sitting in the car talking to her when the two men approached. The boyfriend told police that Bhaskar was then taken by the two suspects who drove away, leaving him at the scene. Police found Bhaskar's car four blocks south of Brush Creek Park a few hours after the abduction was reported. Three K-9 units and a two-man helicopter unit searched the area. A little more than eight hours later Bhaskar was recovered after she telephoned a family friend Darren Snapp, Kansas City, Mo., police officer, said along with the K-9 Units and helicopter, about 20 officers worked the separate crime scenes, while the rest of the Kansas City Police Department searched for Bhaskar. who in turn contacted police. Police said Bhaskar had no reported injuries and was questioned by detectives until late Sunday night. More interviews were scheduled for Monday. Snapp said that the police were not treating the incident as a hoax. However, the accounts from the witnesses to the abduction were incongruous. "We're getting different stories for different witnesses," Snapp said. "We now have information that she doesn't want to press charges." The investigation is ongoing and Snapp said there was very little the police could do if Bhaskar declined to seek prosecution. Media relations with the Kansas City, Mo., police department said Tuesday that there were conflicting reports about whether the family would press charges and that those reports were still being resolved.

Several stores will be discounting products for the sale. By Tyler Harbert tharbert@kansan.com Ion Goering/KANSAN Massachusetts Street business owners are preparing for the annual summer sidewalk sale Thursday in downtown Lawrence. Merchants traditionally slash prices on a portion of their wares and toss them onto tables in front of their stores for the sale as hoards of Lawrence bargain hunters try to stake their claims to the discounted merchandise. The crowds coupled with the usual hot temperatures are reasons enough to get to the shops early, even if it means rising before the sun. "It's really insane from 5:30 to nine in the morning," said Willie Wilkerson, manager of Jayhawk Spirit, 935 Massachusetts St. "Some people can't take off of work for the sales so they come before they go." Wilkerson, who has managed the store since 1998, will mark down the entire inventory of University-licensed clothing and gear during the sidewalk sale by as much as 50 percent outside the store and 20 percent inside. He said he had been doing it long enough to know exactly how to plan for the city-wide blue light special, and his preparations involve overstocking the store with supplies from its warehouse @ @KANSAN.COM Vote online, "Will you shop at the Downtown Lawrence sidewalk sale?" the night before and scheduling employees so that all of them have to work for at least two-thirds of the 15-hour day. He said he still gave his employees adequate breaks — especially from the heat. "We do a lot of rotating in and out of the store for air conditioning," he said. He also said some of his employees would be experiencing the sales for the first time this year. "A lot of them are used to the heat, but it's a good way to get a tan or just relax." Wilkerson said. The store will be open from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. Misfortunes Creation Station, 726 Massachusetts St., is also going to mark down the prices of its entire inventory. Layla Adams has only worked at the store and lived in Lawrence for about six months, so she's never experienced the sidewalk sale, but she said the store would prepare by scheduling longer shifts and opening an hour early at 9 a.m. She didn't anticipate any major problems. Adams said the store will slash all of its prices by 15 to 50 percent, including its downstairs supply of clothing, tapestries and eccentric jewelry, and its upstairs supply of T-shirts and tobacco supplies. tables of discounted shoes outside for the sidewalk sale, and apparel, such as warm up gear, for no more than $15. "It's definitely a very good day for the store," he said. "It's a good way to clean house and make way for new stuff." Having worked at the store for three years, Bennett said he didn't mind the increase in foot traffic during the sale. Even downtown non-merchants benefit from the yearly event. "It's like a parade day; a lot of people," said Craig Nowatzke, who owns the Sun Dog Hot Dog stand at 9th and Massachusetts streets. Nowatzke will be selling hot dogs, sausages and drinks to burned-out shopers during the event from his stand for the third year. He said each year the sidewalks are packed with people by 6 a.m. "I kind of dread it, but it's worth it," he said.

I've promoted the joys of KU every where I've been — Chicago, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Washington D.C., Oklahoma City, and Los Angeles, where I currently live. Ever since I graduated, I have received mailings from you, entreating me to join (and donate to) the KU Alumni Association. Had I the means, I would have done so. Unfortunately, I haven't, and I still can't. And yet the mailings still come. No matter where I live, you track me down. I have moved frequently over the years, and I have never, once, provided you with a new mailing address. And despite that, I have always received a new mailing from you, asking me to join the KU Alumni Association. Until now, I often wished I could become a member of the Alumni Association, and I was flattered to discover that you had tracked me down, and had I the money, I would have contributed. This goodwill ended today. Last week I received a mailing from you stating the following: "Now we can save you $327.96 or more a year on auto insurance." Everything you say, and everything you do, affects all of the students of KU, past, present, and future. My time at KU was priceless. Don't cheapen it by selling car insurance. As a graduate of KU, I find this despicable. The KU Alumni Association is an association that should be setting standards for excellence. It is an association that should be sponsoring proud activities that people like me can gather their friends together around. It's an organization that sets the tone for all past and future students.

Grant Snider/KANSAN 》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR Distortion and deceit are heart of every good relationship I've finally figured out why establishing and maintaining romantic relationships fail. It is because of honesty that "best policy" people continue to zealously ignore! Yes, it is true; the perfect relationship is one that relies completely on distortion (1/2 truth) and lying (no truth). Distortion comes into play in establishing a relationship. Males rely on distorting their image with excessive displays of material wealth, wretched insults, and preening. Females rely on pungent perfumes, tight-fit clothing, and makeup to distort their image. Both do so to make each seem greater than each is. However, once in a relationship, distortion takes the back seat to lying. This is because distortion becomes too hard to pull off. Knowledge of the other partner's habits, actual material wealth, and appearance ruin its primary usefulness. Though it's actually easier to disprove a lie (since it is less true) both partners expect the other to tell the truth so don't immediately recognize lies. It is through questions that these lies become apparent and eventually lead relationships to destruction. Eventually you'll find out your partner lied about something important to improve his or her ego and it will create conflict. You'll find your conscience clean, but you'll also find yourself alone—perhaps slobbering over a ten-dollar bottle of wine while listening to Manfred Mann's "Blinded By the Light." The reason people avoid telling the truth in a relationship is because its usefulness is far less than that of lying. Lying will never be able to trump what the imagination can manufacture, because the imagination can produce the perfect response to any question. Also, truth is too often inconvenient—whereas lies or distortion are never inconvenient. Thus, the perfect relationship is one where both sides are always lying or at least deceiving one another through some type of distortion. Both tactics only ever fail because the lie or distortion isn't creative enough to convince the other person you're telling the truth, or because an outside source intervenes to tell the truth. Tattle tail... Likewise, the worst relationships involve the most truth. To the comment, "Do you like my dress?" you wouldn't reply, "I thought it was above average, but not as good as Angelina's at the Oscars." Or, you wouldn't reply to, "What did you think of my story?" with, "I thought it was shallow and immature." Remember to duck when the swinging arm comes your way. Again, truth is an evil thing in romantic relationships. Realistically, avoid it as much as possible! A healthy relationship will find both sides continually bored and speaking in platitudes. Also, remember to stock an arsenal of romantic comedy clichés and euphemisms and you'll be fine.

Creative Quarterly features the work of college art and design students from across the country and Canada. Rottinghaus said her teacher mailed her work in at the end of the spring 2007 semester when Rottinghaus left for a three-week study abroad trip in Germany and Italy. When she returned she received the news that she had won. Rottinghaus said she wanted to create something hip and fun for young women that would provide do-it-yourself help on everyday technological tasks. "I was really surprised. Being a sophomore, you don't really expect to be able to compete with people all over the nation who are upperclassmen," she said. The contest also gave Rottinghaus a chance to see how the design program at the University stacked up against other schools, she said. "Competitions give us a chance to kind of critique each other without actually being in the same classroom," she said. Andrea Wertzberger, assistant professor of design, said Rottinghaus surpassed her expectations.

Joan Hunt, a distinguished professor and lead researcher at the University, said it's not verbal communication that is being studied, or even music or drug interactions. Hunt said that researchers are analyzing the placenta and how the fetus interacts with the mother. The research is a collaborative effort and is broken into three groups. Hunt's group studies proteins and molecules. The two other research groups study genetic factors and features of the immune system. Specifically, Hunt is looking at the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene, which is a molecule made by the placenta. Hunt said the HLA helps the mother's body understand it needs to carry the baby and not reject it. "HLA programs mothers to accept baby and tells them it is good;" said Hunt, vice chancellor for biomedical research infrastructure. Hunt said some mothers cannot make enough HLA and that is associated with reproduction problems like infertility and miscarriages. She said she hoped to help women with part of the problem by studying molecules. Hunt said with science becoming so complicated, the collaborative effort helps researchers talk about better ways to complete what they are doing and leam from one another. — Maggie VanBuskirk WEDNESDAYS: Enjoy the best special in town $1 ALMOST ANYTHING ...only at THE HAWK TUESDAYS $1.75 Domestic Bottles $1.50 Wells FRIDAYS $3.50 Double Bacardi Drinks $2.50 Domestic Bottles $2.75 Corona & Pacifico SATURDAYS $3.50 Double Admiral Nelson, Beam & Skyy Drinks $2 Big Beers NOW OPEN ON THURSDAYS Jayhawk CAFE LAWRENCE WWW.JAYHAWKCAFE.COM We're open every Tuesday through Saturday this summer! 1340 Ohio • 843-9273 SUMMER IS BEST EXPERIENCED AT THE HAWK VOTED BEST BAR BY KU STUDENTS Jayhawk CAFE LAWRENCE WW.JAYHAWKCAFE.COM We're open every Tuesday through Saturday this summer! 1340 Ohio • 843-9273 WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 2007 | NEWS | WWW.KANSAN.COM THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 11 ENTERTAINMENT 'Evil Business' on the shelves KU alumnus offers perspectives on evils of society along with suspense formula By Sam Carlson scarlson@kansan.com The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center infuriated one KU alumnus so much that he wrote a book. John Nienstedt, a 1961 KU graduate from Emporia, spends his days writing and leading management seminars for corporations and government agencies. A former U.S. Navy captain, Nienstedt returned from service in the Gulf War and began his career as a public speaker. Then came his life as an author. It wasn't just the attacks that influenced his latest novel, "Evil Business," it was people's responses to them. Nienstedt said the event brought the words of Mahatma Gandhi to his mind, "The only devils in the world are those that are running around in our hearts, and that's where the battle needs to be fought - within ourselves," he said. Nienstedt said he thought Americans acted as if some "evil force" were after them, although the terrorists believed their actions were justified. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO [Picture of a man in a striped shirt] One such example of evil in the book is seen when Nienstedt mentions his alma mater. One of the characters is an overly competitive KU basketball player who is willing to do anything to win. Parts of the book take place in Kansas City, where Nienstedt lived for 17 years. "You've got to write about what you know about," he said. After he penned a pair of self-help books, he turned his focus to fiction writing, "See the Monkey: A Tale of Two Evils," published in 2002, is the prequel to "Evil Business." Both works center on mediocre newspaper columnist Norman Fuller, who often encounters the "Voice of Evil," an invisible character that exposes Fuller to various evils in society, such as greed. John Nienstedt, a 1961 University of Kansas graduate, recently published his latest novel, "Evil Business." Nienstedt said he has fond memories of his time on campus. ers in suspense. And to prove his confidence, he said he tells his readers that he'll reimburse them for the book if they figure out the ending before reaching it. "That's my objective, to entertain in a way that causes people to think," he said. Nienstedt said he spent two years writing "Evil Business," and completing it was only part of the satisfaction he got from writing it. He said that in fiction writing, the characters begin to take on lives of their own, and seeing how the story turns out is the most exciting part. The last bit of satisfaction depends on the reader. Edited by Ben Smith Nienstedt said he is confident the book will entertain and kept the read- CAMPUS KU to offer masters in interactive design By Maggie VanBuskirk mvanbuskirk@kansan.com Starting in the spring, the University of Kansas will be the first to offer masters degrees in both interactive design and design management. "The programs in themselves are very sought after," Thomas said. "With KU being a state school it will offer a more affordable education than the other two." In the past, there were only two universities in the country that offered separate masters programs for each. The ITT Institute of Design in Chicago offers design management and Stanford Institute of Design offers interactive design. The Board of Regents approved the two new masters in its June meeting. Greg Thomas, chairperson and professor for the department of design, said that the University will offer key classes in the fall semester for the degrees that will count as credit for the spring semester. According to their proposal, interactive design is defining and creating how consumers interact with a product. Students will learn how to enhance the usability, usefulness and desirability of a product for consumers and businesses. Design management teaches students management and design skills, which will enhance innovation and product value according to the proposal. Thomas said the two-year programs are geared toward people who have been in the work force and want to advance in their careers. "You can only go so far with a B.A. before you want to go up another tier," Thomas said. "Direct management will allow you to move up another ladder as a working professional." As for interaction, Thomas said it was one of the most sought after areas of study today. "Everything you come in contact with has most likely had the input from an interactive designer," Thomas said, citing the example of the new iPhone. "If you watch the commercial, the way you use the phone has actually reinvented it." Currently, the department of design is trying to collaborate with Zollverein School of Design and Management in Essen, Germany. Thomas said it was one of the first schools entirely dedicated to design management. He also said that businesses in Kansas City, like Sprint and Hallmark, had inquired about the program and wanted to be a part of it. - Edited by Joe Caponio I am so happy I can be a child again.

"It makes me feel like I'm back at home, even when I'm hundreds of miles away," he said. Unfortunately for Harris and other Internet radio listeners, the amount of live streaming music available online could soon be drastically lessened. Jennifer Doyle "As a small station, it's more than likely that this could hurt our online listenership because we can't pay the fees," said Janet Campbell, director of KPR, which has its studios located at 1120 W. On March 2, the Copyright Royalty Board announced new regulations that would force Internet webcasters to pay greatly-increased fees to record companies for the rights to stream music online. The regulations do not differentiate between commercial radio stations and non-commercial stations like the University-run Kansas Public Radio. 11th St, near Memorial Stadium.

"That is how we're going to keep listenership under the allotted time so we don't go over and have to pay the fees," Campbell said. JANET CAMPBELL Director of Kansas Public Radio Campbell said that the station's live stream had about 7,400 listeners in June, and the site averaged more than 1,500 hits a day. The station had developed a plan to limit their stream to only 250 listeners at a time, as opposed to the 4,000 listeners that the stream fees. But in the week leading up to the implementation of the new regulations, which was originally supposed to take place on July 15, those enforcing the regulations were pressured by industry groups and policymakers and delayed implementing the Jon Goerina/KANSAN Laura Lorson, KPR All Things Considered host, practices during an off-air break Monday afternoon in the KPR studios. KPR recently upgraded its Web site as part of an effort to drive traffic to the site and gain online listeners. As of press time, KPR had held off on making any changes to their online stream as they waited for official word on the implementation of the new fees. For KPR, any limit in the number of online listeners it can allow could cause a shift in the direction in which the station pushes its listeners.

CityCommissionerRob Chestnut said the city is continuously reviewing the fees regarding the criminal justice system. Chestnut said the cost for the criminal justice system increases yearly just like other fee-based services the city provides. If the Lawrence City Commission passes an ordinance calling for an increase in some municipal court fees, DUIs and MIPs may become more expensive. Chestnut said the city's recent budget concerns would be affected by the fee increases. "The fee increases will contribute to general fund revenues that are now out of balance," Chestnut said, Chestnut said the fees represent a fraction of what it costs the city to provide law enforcement for the community. Among other things, the ordinance calls for a $100 increase to the cost of going on diversion. @ KANSAN.COM - Results from Tuesday night's city commission meeting Diversion is a method that allows people to avert prosecution of a case by completing conditions of a diversion agreement over a set period of time. After this set time period, if all conditions of the agreement have been met, the charge is dismissed. City prosecutor Jerry Little said the increased diversion fee will have some financial effect on students, but not much. Little said students will still have time to pay their fees or do community service to pay off their fines. For each hour of community service, students can work off $7 of the fine, Little said. The standard diversion fee for an MIP will increase to $400 if the city passes the ordinance. Becky Wasserman, Dallas junior. said she was glad she got her MIP last year. "Trust me, $352 was enough of a punishment." Wasserman said. Wasserman said she thinks the potential fee increase is going to be a struggle for some students. "It is a substantial amount of money to pull out all at once," Wasserman said. The city commission passed the ordinance through on its first reading July 10. If the ordinance passes through the second reading it will go into effect once published. The increased Municipal Court fees will include a $150 probation fee and $10 fingerprinting fee. The ordinance also calls for a $52 per day fee from people jailed by the city as reimbursement to Douglas county for the cost of their incarceration. The Municipal Court judge will have the ability to assess if the defendant has the ability to pay this fee. If the defendant does not, they will not be responsible for the cost. —Edited by Ben Smith HIGHLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE •KS residents $91 per cr hr (includes book rental) •Smaller class size •Offering general education classes •Now offering daytime classes 785-597-0127 perry@highlandcc.edu AFFORDABLE EDUCATION WITHIN 15 MILES OF LAWRENCE IN PERRY, KS 》 ENTERTAINMENT Local band makes break for the big-time Musicians question effectiveness of national publicity in enticing fans By Alaide Vilchis Ibarra avilchis@kansan.com Recently the local band The Only Children received national recognition for their new album, Keeper of Youth, released in May. Despite the national recognition, Ryan Benton, the band's drummer, said that the attention does not necessarily mean people are coming to their concerts in droves. "I don't know if people have the On their MySpace page, people from Houston, Philadelphia and Chicago have written them to ask if they'll tour through the cities. After being reviewed in Rolling Stone magazine and landing spots as artists of the day on spin.com and MySpace. During their last tour, The Only Children attention span to see a review and look for the music," Benton said. "I don't know if people would remember the name of the band for that long." "Id much rather be in a magazine like No Depression — a smaller-circulation music magazine than Rolling Stone," Berwanger said. "Because you know that the people actually listen to the whole music and the whole CD and try to understand it." Josh Berwanger, the frontman who formed the band in 2004, said that even though the band has been featured in national magazines, he doesn't think the publicity has helped the band bring in more people to concerts. He also said he did not care much for the coverage the band is receiving because, he said, to do the reviews of small bands in big magazines, reviewers only listen to the first three songs in an album. played to audiences ranging in size from 12 to 150 people. Berwanger started the band after his previous band, The Anniversary, broke up. Before that he was a University student for one semester majoring in film before he decided to drop out to go on tour with The Anniversary. Ten years after the band broke up, Berwanger said he is at a point in his life when he is enjoying making good music. "I don't know if people have the attention span to see a review and look for the music." "I feel like we are pretty good and everything that we do I totally believe in but I understand that's not enough to get huge and make money," Berwanger said. "That is not as important to me as it is to put out a good record and having fun." Benton said he has mixed feelings about the national coverage. RYAN BENTON Guitarist, The Only Children "Its kind of cool but I don't know if it means anything really great is going to happen." Benton said. "I think it's cool to have one person in the middle of nowhere or in a big city that is into you." Benton describes The Only Children's music as the type that "feels like it's the kind of music that was popular 40 years ago." Their music sounds like old rock and roll with a hint of something modern, Benton said. With this CD, Benton said he and the band were going for a "dirty sound," something not overproduced. "In the shit that is popular today you would never hear some sort of error. Everything is so produced it makes it sounds like a product not music." Benton said. "People are human, you have to make mistakes." The Only Children are scheduled to play at 7 p.m., Sunday at McCoy's. 4057 Pennsylvania Ave., Kansas City, MO.

Marine Gen. Peter Pace said that he and the chiefs of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force are developing their own assessment of the situation in Iraq, to be presented to Bush in September. That will be separate from the highly anticipated report to Congress that month by Gen. David Petraeus, the top commander for Iraq. The Joint Chiefs are considering a range of actions, including another troop buildup, Pace said without making any predictions. He called it prudent planning to enable the services to be ready for Bush's decision. The military must "be prepared for whatever it's going to look like two months from now," Pace said in an interview with two reporters traveling with him to Iraq from Washington. "That way, if we need to plus up or come down" in numbers of troops in Iraq, the details will have been studied, he said. Pace, on his first visit since U.S. commanders accelerated combat operations in mid-June, said another option under consideration is maintaining current troop levels beyond September. There are now about 158,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, reflecting a boost of about 30,000 to carry out the new strategy Bush announced in January. The plan is focused on providing better security for Iraqis in Baghdad, but the intended effect — political reconciliation between Sunnis and Shiites — has yet to be achieved, and many in Congress are clamoring to begin withdrawing troops soon. WORLD Government agency warns of possible Al-Qaida attack By Katherine Shrader Associated Press WASHINGTON — The terrorist network Al-Qaida will likely leverage its contacts and capabilities in Iraq to mount an attack on U.S. soil, according to a new National Intelligence Estimate on threats to the United States. The declassified key findings, to be released publicly on Tuesday, were obtained in advance by The Associated Press. The report lays out a range of dangers — from al-Qaida to Lebanese Hezbollah to non-Muslim radical groups _ that pose a "persistent and evolving threat" to the country over the next three years. As expected, however, the findings focus most of their attention on the gravest terror problem: Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network. The report makes clear that alQaida in Iraq, which has not yet posed a direct threat to U.S. soil, could become a problem here.

Patinkin leaves 'Criminal Minds' after two seasons KU graduate leaves CBS job after "creative differences" Associated Press NEW YORK — Mandy Patinkin is leaving CBS' "Criminal Minds," saying his departure is the result of creative differences. Patinkin, 54, asked to be released from his role as FBI profiler Jason Gideon last week, CBS Paramount Network Television and series producer ABC Studios said Monday in a statement. Patinkin is a University of Kansas graduate. His exit will be explained in an early episode this fall and wasn't related to a contract renegotiation or salary issues, the statement said. A new character will be added to the show, which debuted in 2005. In a separate statement, Patinkin said his departure was the result of "creative differences" but didn't elaborate. Patinkin won an Emmy for best actor in 1995 for his portrayal of Dr. Jeffrey Geiger in the CBS medical series "Chicago Hope." His films include "The Princess Bride" and "Dick Tracy."

Jessica Osborne, 20, received the gift from a family of regulars at the Pizza Hut where she works in this northeastern Indiana town. The family — a mother and two sons — stopped in recently for their usual: two Mountain Dews, a cup of hot water for tea and a large Meat Lover's Stuffed Crust pizza. They requested Osborne as usual and chatted about their lives. She said she told them how she had started college twice but had to drop out because she didn't have enough money. They told her of their plans to move away, and she asked that they say goodbye before leaving town. They returned last week and Associated Press Handcuffs. Headaches. Hassles.

Elvis still the king of rock ('n' roll) in Colorado ESTES PARK, Colo. — You can't think about rock without thinking of Elvis. Not this rock, anyway. Rock collector LaDell Alexander, 60, has found a stone she swears has the face of Elvis Presley on it. You don't have to think Elvis is everywhere to see it: A pattern on the rock resembles a human head with dark hair and the king of rock's trademark muttonchop sideburns. Alexander, who splits her time between Estes Park and Texas, said the rock was one of many she bought in various places last summer. She didn't notice the pattern until she took the rocks to Texas and cleaned them before using them to decorate her yard. The Alexanders plan to sell the rock on eBay in August and donate the proceeds to one of Presley's foundations. Associated Press Summer is almost over. Do you know where your Daily Kansan is?

The stars of the Kansas basketball team straggle in shoulder-to-shoulder with spectators who are interested in seeing professional basketball talent. It's three minutes to game time and half the players are still getting their shoes on as the announcer asks players for the third time to that only contains bleachers on one side of the court. At Allen Fieldhouse it's impossible to understand, let alone hear a player talking when sitting courtside, but 15 rows up in the corner at Penn Valley Community College it's easy to hear the profane words "At UCLA I partied too much and made some bad decisions.Here my family keeps me grounded" sign in at the scorer's table. Brady Morningstar slides his jersey over his shoulders as his Jayhawk teammates Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur, slap hands with the half-capacity crowd as they make their way to a seat in the stands. JARON RUSH KC Pro-Am League player The Kansas City Pro-Am basketball league doesn't contain a fraction of the electricity that a Big 12 Conference contest would on any given night. The games are held at a small community college in downtown Kansas City JaRon Rush is directing at an official who appears to have missed a foul call the pervious position. In the stands, Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur are on their feet yelling and laughing as Morningstar catches an ally-oop pass for a dunk. Arthur said getting to know the basketball talent around Kansas City has been a worthwhile experience for him even though he can not participate because of a stress fracture in his leg. "I still like watching the guys play," Arthur said. "Brady told me he was gonna dunk one tonight. JaRon was telling me he can still play when I got here, so I'm just seeing what he's got." JaRon, elder brother of Kansas' Brandon Rush and a former star in his own right at UCLA, is joined in the league by NBA players Kirk Hinrich, Billy Thomas and local Kansas City products Tyronn Lue and Earl Watson, who are also in the NBA. JaRon said playing against local talent is about as much as he does with a basketball these days. His quickness might be gone, but his scoring ability hasn't deteriorated. His seven straight points for his team, Fadeaway, sparked a comeback victory over Morningstar and Team Holmes. "My mother and grandmother were here watching my game," Rush said. "My family supports me here. I've played a lot of places; at UCLA I partied too much and made some bad decisions. Here my family keeps me grounded." Co-director of the league and former Kansas basketball player Terry Nooner said Lue, point guard of the Atlanta Hawks, pushed him to organize the eight-team league. He said they tried to mirror the league after programs established in Chicago and Dallas. "KU players have been very receptive to the games and the fans watching," Nooner said. "Everything has run smoothly except for a few e-mails saying we put big names on rosters as draws but then players don't show up." The grumblings of eager fans do have some merit. Nooner is busy scurrying around the scorer's table — checking rosters and talking to sponsors Nearly a month into the season, Hinrich, the point guard for the Chicago Bulls, hasn't made the trek from Chicago to play for "The seats have been filled most nights and the players take this seriously.

The Jayhawks will face a tough non-conference road schedule with visits to USC, Boston College and Georgia Tech. In a home-and-home commitment, the Jayhawks will have the opportunity to avenge last year's loss to DePaul when they face the Blue Demons on Dec. 8 at Allen Fieldhouse. The second game of the season against the University of Missouri-Kansas City will be the first game of the Jayhawk Invitational. The tournament will feature six schools in a round-robin format that concludes Nov. 25 when the Jayhawks face the Arizona Wildcats. The Jayhawks have not fared well against the Wildcats in recent years. Most recently in 2005, the team lost to the Wildcats at the Maui Invitational 61-49. In 2003, the Jayhawks blew a 20-point lead and snapped a 25-game home winning streak when the Wildcats beat the Jayhawks in Lawrence 91-74. This year's match-up will also be part of the first installment of the Big 12/Pac-10 Challenge. Every team from both conferences will square off in the challenge with two Pac-10 schools playing twice. A change to this year's schedule is the absence of a game at Kemper Arena. With the completion of the Sprint Center in October, the Jayhawks Dec. 15 game against Ohio University will be moved into the new arena. The Sprint Center will also be home to the Big 12 Championship March 13-16 in Kansas City, Mo.

Officials at the center expect the $6.3 million addition to be completed by May 2008. Jon Goering/KANSAN By Dylan Schoonover dschoonover@kansan.com A $6.3 million addition to the north end of the Student Recreation and Fitness Center will not be completed during the spring semester as originally planned. Instead, the addition to the nearly four-year-old center won't be complete until at least late May 2008, after the semester is completed. Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, said that spring and summer rains, coupled with rising lumber costs related to Hurricane Katrina, have contributed to the delay. The bid for lumber costs was placed before the hurricane struck. She said the center hoped to have the entire infrastructure in place by the end of summer. "We're pulling all the pipes and wiring," Chappell said. "We're going to have to close some of the track area in certain places." The addition includes four new multi-purpose courts, an expansion of the 2,000 square-foot free-weight area and two additional racquetball courts. The track will be temporarily closed as it is expanded to stretch nearly a full quarter-mile around all four courts. Along with the track, the fitness area used for aerobics, yoga and martial arts will also be closed @ KANSAN.COM A photo gallery of the construction at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center once the structural part of the new addition begins. Chappell said she hoped to only close these areas during holidays, when the recreation center would not be as busy. She admitted that probably wouldn't be the only time areas on the north end would have to be closed but said she hoped to keep the closures to a minimum. While the recreation center won't be completed on time, it will bring more to students than just extra space and equipment. Jason Krone, director of sports programs, said that two of the new multi-purpose courts will be made of a synthetic, plastic material. That means the courts can serve more than just basketball or volleyball. "Certainly the courts will be used for basketball but a sport like indoor soccer is an underserved population," he said. "Enclosed walls around the field allow us to look at expanding floor hockey and adding indoor soccer and possibly roller hockey." During the spring semester, Krone said that 80 teams played eight-oneight outdoor soccer. He said he hoped the new addition would allow scheduling for six-on-six indoor soccer during the the winter when the players want to keep playing. One student who said he would jump at the opportunity to play more soccer is Dane Hanson, Overland Park graduate student. He is part of a soccer group that meets every Sunday. He said he traveled to Kansas City at least once a week last year to play in an indoor soccer league when it got too cold to play outdoors. "I didn't even know they planned to put in a surface that soccer could be played on," Hanson said. "I think it's easier to injure yourself in indoor soccer but I'd definitely be interested in playing." Chappell said the addition would accomplish the center's goal of cutting down on the wait time. She said it was not uncommon to have every basketball court filled and teams lined up waiting to get into games. "We're excited there will be more space for more people and more activities," she said. — Edited by Joe Caponio COURTS Penalties increase for MIP court fees By Susan Schwarz sschwarz@kansan.com Students and Lawrence residents will be paying $100 more for diversion. The changing fees include a $150 fee for supervised probation, a $10 fee for fingerprinting done through the municipal court, an approximate $52 per day fee cost incurred by the city for incarceration and a $100 increase on the cost of diversion. The City Commission passed its increased municipal courts fees on July 17, increasing several fees that students could end up paving. The ordinance took effect after its publication over the weekend. The previous diversion fee for an MIP was $300 has increased to $400. According to the municipal court's annual report, the number of MIPs in Lawrence has increased since 2003. The municipal court prosecuted 438 people for minor in possession charges last year. If each of the same number or people charged with a MIP chose to go through diversion and have the charge dismissed there will be an additional $43,800 in the court's annual revenue. Rob Chestnut, city commissioner, said the fees are only a fraction of what the city needs to provide law enforcement to the Lawrence community but the added funds would help. The Municipal Court's annual report said yearly revenue was down 5 percent from 2005 to 2006.The City has also faced some budget concerns in the past months.

Students receive tuition relief post-disasters The University announced that it will offer students from 10 of the Kansas counties hit hardest by natural disasters during the past few months an option to defer tuition payments for the fall semester. Students who are eligible for individual federal assistance from five storm-damaged counties, Edwards, Kiowa, Osage, Pratt and Stafford, and five flooded counties, Elk, Miami, Montgomery, Neosho and Wilson, are eligible for the University's offer. Todd Cohen, director of University relations, said that the University is offering the deferred payments to do whatever it can to help residents from the counties designated as disaster areas by the governor. "We know that they have more important things to worry about like getting a household back together than making tuition payments," Cohen said. Usually, a $100 fine is given to students who have not paid their tuition by the deadline, which this year is Aug. 15. Additional penalties are then levied against students for each month that their bill goes unpaid. Cohen added that under the deferred payment option offered to students from the disaster areas, the University will work out payment schedules based on each student's individual needs. The University has implemented similar plans in the past to assist students whose hometowns have been damaged by natural disasters. Most recently, a similar offer was given to students from the Gulf Coast region after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

A researcher at the KU Medical Center determined that there was no link between Wescoe Hall and a string of brain tumors found in employees of the building during the past 10 years. By Susan Schwarz sschwarz@kansan.com KANSAN FILE PHOTO After a year of investigation, it has been determined that there is no link between Wescoe Hall and brain tumors. A report done by epidemiologist John Neuberger concluded that the proximity of the tumors was likely due to chance and unrelated to occupancy in the building. Previously, it had been believed that there could have been a link between the building and the tumors. Jason Oruch, Plano, Texas junior said he was relieved to hear Wescoe did not have any link to brain tumors. However, he also said that it would have made for a good reason to stay out of classes there. "I mean, I am happy that going to class isn't going to cause me harm," Oruch said. "But that would have been a valid reason not to show up for a discussion or two." Neuberger works at the University Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. The investigation began when five people with offices in Wescoe were diagnosed with brain tumors during the past 10 years. Three of those tumors turned out to be benign. According to a University press release, Neuberger conducted an air quality investigation. He concluded that the building is environmentally safe. The investigation did find that the building had some airflow problems. The University has decided to change the air systems in the first three levels of Wescoe Hall. The project is scheduled to last two years and cost $3 million. Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said the construction would cause professor and graduate teaching assistants to move their offices over the course of months. Cohen said the biggest effect on students would be meeting with teachers. space around to move people. He added that the movements of offices have not been planned out yet because there is not a lot of empty Cohen said that moving offices is likely to happen during breaks. He said that moving during breaks would keep the disruption of classes to a minimum and students would not have to locate a new office mid-semester. He said the classrooms in Wescoe would not be affected by the construction being done to the office space. Edited by Joe Caponio ORGANIZATIONS Greensburg relief mission canceled By Alaide Vilchis Ibarra avilchis@kansan.com A trip that would have taken student volunteers to Greensburg to aid in the disaster relief efforts was canceled because students weren't volunteering. The Student Involvement and Leadership Center organized a trip to volunteer in Greensburg after a tornado in early May left 95 percent of the town destroyed. Although the center sent an e-mail last week, no student organizations signed up to go on the volunteering trip. Quisenberry said he had no idea and did not want to guess as to why only one organization and two individuals showed any interest in the trip but didn't confirmed. Aaron Quisenberry, associate director of the SILC, said he thought that because of students having more free time during the summer, more people would be able to volunteer. "If we don't get anybody, I might still go out all by myself." Quisenberry said. "There will be more trips organized I'm sure because there still is a lot of work to do." While in Greensburg, they would have done different tasks including cleaning up debris and picking up trees. Quisenberry is from a town 15 minutes away from Greensburg. Students who registestered would have left today and come back Sunday. Matthew Podszus, Coordinator of Greensburg Relief, said that every volunteer makes a difference in Greensburg. To organize the trip, the SILC paired up with Greensburg Relief, an organization that provides volunteers and monetary aid to Greensburg disaster relief. "If you help one family it may not seem that much, but there really is a domino effect that happens," Podszus said. "If two or three homes start going up it starts making people say 'Maybe I want to come back to the town'." To sign up for another trip, students need to contact Aaron Quisenberry at aquisenberry@ku.edu.

Huse then became the latest Internet whiz kid to take a run at the game's most hallowed title, peaking as the tournament's chip leader on the second day, before finishing 128th and winning $58,570. Huse came to the University as a novice in poker. He began playing competitively in cash games on the third floor of McCollum Hall. He soon began playing cash games online. "I really enjoyed playing poker when I was in college because you can play whenever you want," Huse said. "You don't have any responsibilities as far as going to work." Huse quickly accumulated tens of thousands of dollars. "My friends and I have all bought some crazy things," Huse said. "We all have big screen TVs. One thing poker players are extravagant about is their computers. My computer is really expensive. It's stupid. It's like buying a Ferrari to drive down your neighborhood street or something like that." Huse said he would be responsible with the winnings from the tournament. Garrett Beckman, a 22-year-old former University student from Garnett, has lived with Huse for the last year and stayed with him in Las Vegas. He said saving money after big wins was difficult. "It's very weird to know you can buy about whatever you feel like; expensive computers, TVs, electronics, cars, whatever," Beckman said. "Sometimes it is hard to not spend a lot right after a big win. The toughest part about making money young is keeping a hold of it." OZARKA WATER 3 48 PUMPED. 5 IFTER BOTTLES 24 ea.

OHIOANA, LAWRENCE Over 21 Hours Everyday Huse estimated that 80 percent of the college-aged poker players he knew that had success at online poker had dropped out of school. "That is one of the worst drawbacks of poker," Huse said. "I know a lot of kids that have dropped out of college due to poker. My grades suffered, definitely. I graduated with an OK GPA, but I would have had a lot higher GPA if I didn't play poker. I win $5,000 or lose $5,000 in a day and I don't feel like doing my homework some days." "It's kind of a surreal experience because when I started playing poker I watched the World Series telecasts," Huse said. "So it was kind of surreal being at that tournament and playing in it, especially late when I had so many chips in front of me." Despite playing in his first Main Event, Huse didn't set out with a strategy. Homework was not a major concern for Huse at the 12-day Main Event in Las Vegas. Huse said the most intimidating aspect of the Main Event was its mystique. "Experienced players know that you can't really have a strategy," he said. "Obviously in tournament play you have to be really aggressive, but you just have to see who is at your table and what the players are capable of." Huse ended day one of the Main Event with about $40,000 in chips, when the average player had about $55,000. Day two would be much more lucrative and give Huse the highlight of his tournament, courtesy of poker star Gus Hansen, nicknamed, "The Great Dane." "In this tournament there are so many amateurs, I just never really felt like I wasn't one of the best players at the table." "Late in the day, I had just won a really big pot and I was up to about $455,000 chips," Huse said. "They came over the loudspeaker, and they say, 'We have a new chip leader, his name is Gus Hansen.' They said he had $445,000 chips and I am sitting there with $455,000 chips. Then everyone at my table was kind of like, 'Hey we have the chip leader!'" Day three wouldn't prove as kind. Huse was two-outtered on two occasions, poker vernacular for when all the money is in the pot and a trailing Huse battled back more than $500,000 in chips early on day four. But he could not avoid misfortune when he called an all-in late in the day with pocket kings. His opponent flipped over aces, which held. Huse's charmed run was over. opponent only has two cards remaining in the deck that can win the hand and beats the odds. Beckman is a full-time Internet poker pro and said he believed Huse's laid-back demeanor helped him in the WSOP, where some players become overwhelmed by the large number of players and variances of luck. "He is more calm and collected than most poker players I know," Beckman said. "Patrick is an all around nice guy who will be very successful in the future." "Anyone in the world would have done what I did, so I can't really say that I played bad," Huse said. Huse said he would take some time off before deciding on a job. In the meantime, he will be working on his poker game and dreaming about the $8.25 million dollars that went to this year's WSOP winner. NEED CASH? Get Instant Money Today Donate plasma.

COMMENTARY When uniforms become too uniform If you didn't know the University of Kansas had an official font,you certainly will be reminded this fall. ALEXANDRIA HAYDEN In case you hadn't heard, BY RYAN SCHNEIDER KANSAN EDITOR RSCHNEIDER@KANSAN.COM the Kansas Athletics Department has said that it will incorporate the University's Trajan font into more of its uniforms this fall. Most notably the change will affect the football and men's basketball teams. Whatever the reasons behind the move are, I have a hard time agreeing with the change. For nearly 20 years, fans across the country could identify Kansas basketball by its unique font with the swirls and curls at the ends of letters and numbers. That's a visual identity that the Athletics Department has plastered on t-shirts, posters and numerous other items sold and given away at basketball games. Kansas men's basketball is the department's and the University's most well-known commodity. Why the University would want to alter a carefully constructed brand is confusing to me. So why the change to Trajan? The University has made a concerted effort in the two years since adopting its new identity to plaster it across campus. From buses, to construction signs, to the Jayhawk logo, the Trajan font is everywhere. Now, the Athletics Department is following suit. The problem is that symbols, or in this case logos and fonts, evoke certain feelings in people. In sports, logos and identities should invoke different feelings than in the world of academia. The block font that the football program had used on helmets and jerseys in the past five years invoked feelings of strength and power. The font unique to the men's basketball team gave off feelings of history and tradition, appropriate considering the program's past accomplishments. The KU logo in the Trajan font certainly invokes a distinguished, academic feel, but those same feelings don't easily translate to sports. The Trajan font? Personally, that invokes feelings of corporate, sterile conditions. That's not exactly the feeling students and alumni should have toward their University. At some point, the University's desire to unite the school under one color and font goes too far. This is that point. I understand the desire, from a marketing standpoint, to present a united brand for the University of Kansas. However, the need to change an established brand and image to a relatively unknown one could backfire in the end. Will fans snatch up the new jerseys featuring the Trajan font? It's hard to tell, but that's a question that can be answered in a few months. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN RYAN SCHNEIDER, EDITOR 864-4854 OR RSCHNEIDER@KANSAN.COM ERICK R.

Albert Einstein said this. But did he ever think how difficult it could be to explain a scientific observation to a college student? A student's hearing level may be better than granny's but when it comes to environmental issues, their comprehension and interest level may be the same. Aaron Scurto is beginning to take actions to improve communication between scientists and non-scientists on topics of sustainability. Scurto, professor in the chemical and petroleum engineering department, used Einstein's quote to describe his efforts. Scurto is reaching out to campus media outlets for participation in a developing initiative. He proposes that students in the sciences work on projects that they will present to student media outlets. The two groups of students would then work together to decide how to present the information to the public. Scurto said the initiative would help students in the sciences and students in the fields of communication learn to present topics in science, technology and society more effectively to the public. It would also keep the University and Lawrence community educated on "green" topics, he said. "Scientists and nonscientists can get together and learn how to communicate together and with the community," Scurto said. Danielle Basci, KJHK station manager, said Scurto approached the station on the heels of its decision to cancel its AP-wire news programming, which is being replaced with a twice-weekly, one-hour news magazine. Basci said the station offered Scurto's team a weekly news segment or educational series on its new program. Basci said that nothing official had been decided but that she thought Scurto's initiative was a great opportunity for the station and its listeners. "Bringing an environmental beat to our news programming will benefit KJHK listeners because they live in a community where environmental sustainability is held with great importance, and we're thrilled to put our airwaves to good use in order to acknowledge this cause;" Basci, Houston senior, said. Scurto said students would cover topics in energy, recycling, sustainability and the environment and how they relate to everyday tasks like doing laundry or choosing which light bulbs to buy. He is still in the early planning stages of the initiative but hopes to have things in motion in the next fourto-six months. He is beginning to write proposals for funding agencies, like the National Science Foundation, to help support his efforts.

BOSTON — People who drank one or more diet sodas each day developed the same risks for heart disease as those who downed sugary regular soda, a large but inconclusive study found. The results surprised the researchers who expected to see a difference between regular and diet soda drinkers. It could be, they suggest, that even no-calorie sweet drinks increase the craving for more sweets, and that people who indulge in sodas probably have less healthy diets overall. The study's senior author, Dr. Vasan Ramachandran, emphasized the findings don't show diet sodas are a cause of increased heart disease risks. But he said they show a surprising link that must be studied. diet (drinks)," said Barry Popkin, of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, who has called for cigarette-style surgeon general warnings about the negative health effects of soda. "It's intriguing and it begs an explanation by people who are qualified to do studies to understand this better," said Vasan, of Boston University School of Medicine. However, a nutrition expert dismissed the study's findings on diet soda drinkers. "There's too much contradictory evidence that shows that diet beverages are healthier for you in terms of losing weight that I would not put any credence to the result on the WEDNESDAYS: Enjoy the best special in town $1 ALMOST ANYTHING ...only at THE HAWK SUMMER IS BEST EXPERIENCED AT THE HAWK VOTED BEST BAR BY KU STUDENTS TUESDAYS $1.75 Domestic Bottles $1.50 Wells FRIDAYS $3.50 Double Bacardi Drinks $2.50 Domestic Bottles $2.75 Corona & Pacifico NOW OPEN ON THURSDAYS Jayhawk CAFE LAWRENCE SATURDAYS $3.50 Double Admiral Nelson, Beam & Skyy Drinks $2 Big Beers WWW.JAYHAWKCAFE.COM We're open every Tuesday through Saturday this summer! 1340 Ohio • 843-9273 SUMMER IS BEST EXPERIENCED AT THE HAWK SUMMER IS BEST EXPERIENCED AT THE HAWK VOTED BEST BAR BY KU STUDENTS Jayhawk CAFE LAWRENCE WW.JAYHAWKCAFE.COM We're open every Tuesday through Saturday this summer! 1340 Ohio • 843-9273 Jayhawk CAFE LAWRENCE WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 2007 | NEWS | WWW.KANSAN.COM THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 11 12 PROFILE 'Free runner' takes unique paths Wall climbing, handstands among distinct activities for grad student By Alaide Vilchis Ibarra avilchis@kansan.com People recognize Jared Suppasansathorn by the utility belt he wears everywhere he goes. When asked why he wears it, he calmly answers that he uses it in case he wants to do a handstand. "Sometimes, I just feel like doing a handstand somewhere. I used to carry the stuff in my pockets but all my change would fall out." For Suppasansathorn, a graduate student, doing random handstands on the street is not uncommon. He does "freestyle running," a physical art where runners try get through everyday obstacles as smoothly as possible by jumping or climbing walls and doing acrobatics, among other things. "It's like you make an obstacle course of the world and you just run through it," Suppasansathorn said. Suppasansathorn remembers a time when he saw a man climbing a wall and jumping off of it to a railing on campus. He said other students looked at him confused and disapprovingly. "It's something that you are sort of conditioned not to do and that is exactly the reason to do it," Suppasansathorn said. Suppasansathorn said that he had been climbing walls and jumping over obstacles his whole life. But recently, a friend invited him to go to Topeka on Thursdays with a group of others who "freestyle run." Ptoldly Brenner, who "freestyle runs" with Suppasansathorn on Thursdays and has asked for his nickname to be used in the story, said "freestyle running" in groups had a lot of advantages. Jon Goering/KANSAN "There is a little bit of competition," Brenner said. "But doing it in groups helps us push each other and share tips on how to do things." Walking downtown, Suppasansathorn suddenly stops and stares at a brick wall that looks "interesting." In the blink of an eye, he is already several feet away from the ground, grabbing onto bricks. TABLE 1. FUNCTIONAL BASED VARIABLES IN HUMAN BEHAVIOR People walking by do not seem to mind the man with a green utility belt and hiking shoes climbing the wall. He touches the top of the wall and lets go, falling with both feet on the ground. He continues walking. "In day-to-day life you are supposed to just walk down the sidewalk, you are supposed to just take this certain path and, you know, that is sort of annoying," Suppasansathorn said. "I want to cut through the grass, I want to jump over the bush, I want to do a handstand on the trash can." Brenner said that "freestyle running" gives freedom. "I definitely feel freer than other people," Brenner said. "You do feel like you are video game where you can go whatever you want to go without anyone stopping you." Jared Suppasansathorn, KU graduate student, demonstrates a "freestyle running" trick on a tree in South Park. Suppasansathron recently joined a group of "freestyle runners" in Topeka. Suppasansathorn talks with a soft voice. He describes himself as being shy, yet he is not scared to jump from a building downtown. "The more I do it, the more I find myself just doing things., Suppasansathorn said. "If I thought more about it maybe I wouldn't have done it because I was too embarrassed or scared." Suppasansathorn keeps walking down the street with his green utility belt and khaki shorts. He stops in a grassy area and does a handstand. All of his change remains intact in his pockets.

"They will likely threaten to sue the city to continue the destruction"he said Claeys claimed that the construction on the lower level of the building caused upwards of $20,000 to his home.

Emmons' death at Yello Sub ruled an accident Joe Caponio The Douglas County Coroner's Office autopsy found drugs and alcohol in Justin A. Emmons'body. Emmons' body was found July 16 at the Yello Sub near campus. The Coroner's preliminary report said Emmons' urine tested positive for marijuana, alcohol, and cocaine.

Michelle M. Bhaskar, Overland park sophomore, was reported by her boyfriend to have been taken in her car by two unidentified males one of them armed with a gun. Bhaskar's boyfriend said he had been sitting in the car talking with her when the two men approached, forced him out of the car and then took off with Bhaskar leaving him at the scene. Bhaskar was returned to her family unharmed almost eight hours after the alleged abduction. Kansas City, Mo., police said that there was little the department could do since the woman refused to press charges and the case is now inactivated.

The papers turned out to be graded blue books and essays, along with add/drop forms. All documents contained student information, some including grades and identification numbers. The story below is Harbert's account of how the materials were left in public and the University's response. As of Tuesday evening, all documents were returned to the University for disposal. When construction began on the first floor of Wescoe Hall several weeks ago, doors were flung wide, furniture hauled out and debris scattered. Left to the wave of office remodeling was anything the former occupants didn't deem worthy of saving. Some of those items included blue books, graded student essays and schedule change forms containing student names and identification numbers. "We regret it," said Lynn Bretz, director of University communications. "It shouldn't have happened." A number of private records can be accessed with a student's school identification number. Calls were made to several offices, including the Bursar's Office, Watkins Memorial Health Center and the Office of the University Registrar, in an attempt to access records over the phone using only the reporter's name and identification number. The Bursar's Office released financial information, including tuition balance as well as scholarship and financial aid information. The Office of the University Registrar said an online form would need to be filled out to get a transcript copy. The reporter said he could put his address, name and student identification number on the form, but that he had lost his Social Security number. The office said the student number would suffice for a copy of his transcript. The health center referred questions to an online authorization for use disclosure of information form at www.studenthealth.ku.edu. Joe Gillespie, associate director of Information Management at the health center, said the center doesn't expect a Social Security number when records are accessed, but it does need a student's birth date and identification number. "We take this very seriously," Gillespie said. "There have been times we've had a concern and we say to the person, 'We need to see your face.'" "We do compare signatures," Gillespie said. "If we have any concerns we call that person ask them to come in and show identification." He said students trying to access their records do not have to go to the center in person. About a dozen of those items were recovered from several offices on the first floor of Wescoe before a new white wall and a sign that read "Danger construction site authorized personnel only" blocked the entries to the construction zone. Aaron Childers, a supervisor with Olathe-based RMT Construction Co., which was contracted for the Wescoe remodeling, said all of the desks and materials that could be salvaged from downstairs Wescoe were kept or recycled. "Basically when we took this space our contract said anything here was ours to dispose of;" Childers said. He said all of the notebooks and paperwork were taken to N.R. Hamm Quarry Inc., 16920 Third St. The documents that weren't taken to the quarry have remained locked in The Kansan newsroom and removed only to contact the students they belong to. "Honestly, I don't know what it was doing there in the first place," said Rachel Hoge, Olathe senior, when told that a schedule change form belonging to her was recovered in Wescoe.

Journey spent 14 days in the "Big Brother" house and was sequestered in Los Angeles for a week before the show started. The Kansan recently talked to Journey about her experience on the show. Kansan: Do you regret what took place on the show, or even going on it in the first place? Journey: It was an alright experience. Definitely the part that I enjoyed the most was getting off the show. I've had a lot of fun since I've gotten off this past week talking with fans and people who liked who I was. Journey: Yeah. I have to get my degree. I cannot wait. Kansan: So you are coming back for the fall semester? Kansan: The premise of the show was to have an enemy from your past confront you in the house. Can you tell me what the experience was like and what you were thinking when you saw her for the first time? Journey: It was very, very uncomfortable. I did not want her there and she took away so much of the enjoyment I could have gotten out of it. When I saw the enemy thing, I thought our story was pretty ridiculous compared to the other two sets of enemies on the show because their stories were so much more tragic than ours. I kind of feel like me and Jessica were placed on the show more for comedic relief, as a way of making fun of two little girls from eighth grade. Kansan: What was the situation with your enemy? Journey: Basically, all it is was we were really good friends for a few years in middle school and we got into a fight, I don't even know what the fight was really about, she claims it's over $5, but I don't think that's true at all, and basically we just never made up and went through high school completely ignoring each other. Then we graduated and she still lives at home with her mom and dad and I moved away to KU and never talked to each other again, I guess. Kansan: Is there still bitterness then? **Journey:** For me, I was over it. I hadn't even thought about her in three years. She obviously was still bitter and angry enough that she would mention my name through the audition process. I'm not going to lie, leaving the show, I'm now a little bitter with her again, but I was over it so long ago. Kansan: Which cast member are Previous stories about Carol Journey and the 'Big Brother' house. KANSAN.COM you pulling for now? Journey: I'm really wanting Mike to win the whole thing, simply because he's a good guy, he's got a good heart and he deserves it. He really does. He works hard and I think that he'll play the game in a decent manner. He won't be like manipulative or deceiving through the process. I think he's going to do it with dignity. Kansan: Why do you think the other cast members singled you out and eliminated you first? Journey: There were several different reasons. For one, I didn't really want to be there in the first place and I whined every single day about how I all wanted to do was go home. So they all knew I was homesick and I didn't want to be there, so that contributed to it. Secondly, I was not a very good player. You really have to be strategic and know what you're doing and I had no idea what I was doing on the show because I was recruited and had never watched the show before. I had the votes from what people tell me and from watching the show. I had six votes which is what I needed to stay but an alliance was formed and should they have all voted for me they would have exposed themselves so they didn't vote to keep me simply because they wanted to keep their alliance a secret and they didn't want everybody else to use that against them later. Kansan: What were the best and worst aspects of the show? Kansan: What's next? Are you going to record an album? Journey: I've had "Playboy" thrown out there a couple of times. I don't think I could ever do that. That's not gonna happen. Maybe "Maxim." Kansan: Is there anything you would completely rule out? Edited by Ben Smith Journey: Um, no. Actually, since being off the show I've gotten a few job offers because I've talked about being a marketing major. CBS kind of threw out offering me a spot on another reality show, but I don't know if I want to do that. I don't know. I have no desire to act or sing or do anything like that. I just want to get my degree and a job. There have been offers but we'll see. I've been told the offers really pick up once the show gets over, so if something amazing gets thrown at me I might consider something else. Journey: The worst part about being on the show was the lack of privacy, always being on TV. When you're in there, you kind of forget about the cameras and forget that there are people out in the United States watching you and listening to conversations you had. I regret a few of the things I said, but you can't hold back everything you have. Honestly, this past week since I've been out of the house has been awesome. I've had so much fun doing interviews. I've probably done a few dozen TV programs so far and I did several days of radio interviews where I just got to talk to different radio stations across the nation that asked me about Big Brother. That was a lot of fun and getting to talk to people who watched the show has been great too. @ Enjoy the summer nights @ The Yacht Club Wednesdays: • .30 wings starting at 5 pm • $5.00 2 liter domestic towers • $7.50 3 liter domestic towers • $2.00 Jager bombs Thursdays: • $5.99 BBQ chicken salad • $2 Boulevard Pale Ale • $2.50 Mexican beers best patio in town! ights @ The Yacht Club Thursdays: • $5.99 BBQ chicken salad • $2 Boulevard Pale Ale • $2.50 Mexican beers wn! something for everyone Parkway Commons 3601 Clinton Pkwy 842-3280 Highpointe 6th & Iowa 841-8468 Canyon Court 700 Comet Lane 832-8805 Chase Court 19th & Iowa 843-8220 Saddlebrook 6th & Folks 832-8200 1, 2, and 3 Bedroom Apartments and Townhomes over 20 locations in lawrence THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM NEWS WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 2007 LAWRENCE Film festival gives insight into life along the rails By Sam Carlson scarlson@kansan.com The train has long been a means of transportation for people, and not just the ticket-buying passengers of Amtrak. A whole culture of freight train hoppers that took off during the Great Depression still exists today, according to a documentary film festival that took place at the Replay Lounge on July 16. A mixture of full-length feature films and YouTube shorts that made up the Hobo Film Festival told the stories of those who hitched free rides on freight trains across the country. Shawn Lukitsch, owner of the small film production company that produced some of the films and organized the festival, said he "I really cannot explain what it's like to be out there," he said. "If you want a kick in the ass, this is it." About 30 people sat inside the bar, located at 946 Massachusetts St., to get a glimpse at the rarely-seen side of the railroads. had been riding freight trains since 1994. He said he thought that train riding was the last remaining form of "red-blooded American adventure." One movie told of the camaraderie between the hobos, who were defined as traveling workers. Tramps were defined as traveling non-workers, and bums as non-traveling non-workers. The film also explained that the rails provided hobos with a forum to get together and tell their tales. LIBERTY HALL 644 Mass. 749-1912 SUNSHINE(R) Lukitsch said that the hobo culture consisted of people from all walks of life who were in search of adventure. He said he's met a wide variety of people on the train, including neurosurgeons and psychologists. He added that the term "hobo" shouldn't carry a negative connotation. "They're not scumbags, they're professionals," Lukitsch said.

"A lot more people are traveling for free and no one knows it," she One movie contained interviews with former hobos sharing their stories about life on the rails. The hobos strummed guitars and sang songs while others described the "hobo stew" that was commonly eaten. At least one audience member didn't think the films accurately portrayed hobo life. "A lot of it is romanticized," said Manny Manzani, a Lawrence resident. "It's a lot about good times. Being a hobo isn't just about good times." The Hobo Film Festival tour began in Asheville, N.C., earlier this month and will make more than 20 stops across the country before ending at the National Hobo Convention in Britt, Iowa.

Matt: I really don't know. You pick a name that you all agree on and then you go online and Google it and there'll be like 10 other bands all over the world.

"Good can come out of episodes like this,"Bretz said. — Edited by Joe Caponio and Ben Smith Bush warns public that al Qaida is still a threat CHARLESTON, S.C. President Bush on Tuesday lashed out at critics who say that al-Qaida's operation in Iraq is distinct from terrorists who attacked the United States on Sept. 11,2001. "The merger between al-Qaida and its Iraqi affiliate is an alliance of killers and that is why the finest military in the world is on their trail."Bush said. Citing security details he declassified for his speech, Bush described al-Qaida's burgeoning operation in Iraq as a direct threat to the United States. Bush accused critics in Congress of misleading the American public by suggesting otherwise. "That's like watching a man walk into a bank with a mask and a gun and saying, 'He's probably just there to cash a check," Bush told troops at Charleston Air Force Base. Bush is up against highly skeptical audiences with 18 months left in office. The public has largely lost faith in the war, Congress is weighing ways to end it, and international partners have fading memories of the 2001 attacks against the U.S. In Washington, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said Bush "is trying to scare the American people into believing that al Qaida is the rationale for continuing the war in Iraq." But Kerry said Bush presented no new evidence to back that up, and added: "The president is picking the wrong rationale for this war. Al-Qaida is not the principal killer of American forces in Iraq." In broad strokes, Bush linked the Iraq war to an event that Americans remember deeply — the Sept. 11 attacks, not the sectarian strife among Iraqis, which has caused some to question U.S.military involvement.

Conn. town first to offer ID cards for illegal immigrants NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Dozens of people lined up at City Hall on Tuesday for municipal identification cards,the first city-issued ID cards specifically designed to bring illegal immigrants out of the shadows and give them access to community services. The cards, available to New Haven's entire population, are meant to help anyone without a state- or federal-issued ID open a bank accounts and use other services that would otherwise be inaccessible. Advocates argue that if immigrants can open bank accounts, they will be less likely to carry large amounts of cash, a practice that makes them easy targets for robbers. An estimated 10,000 to 12,000 of New Haven's 125,000 residents are believed to be in the country illegally. The mayor said the federal government had failed to address immigration-related issues, forcing cities to find ways to manage them. New Haven is simply acknowledging the people who already live there, he said. Associated Press You probably don't care what an origination fee is. As long as you don't have to pay for it.

Border police noticed the boat trying to land on the Chinese side of the Beilun River,which marks the border with Vietnam, early on Sunday. Xinhua said four people carried bags off the boat, but jumped into the river and swam away when they saw the police. It said police found that the bags and other bags on the boat contained 270 crocodiles, which are on China's wildlife protection list.

Booker West was splashing his hands in a birdbath in his grandparents' northern Colorado back yard when the snake slithered up to the toddler, rattled and struck. Five-pound Zoey jumped in the way and took the blites. "She got in between Booker and the snake, and that's when I heard her yipe," said Monty Long, the boy's grandfather. The dog required treatment and for a time it appeared she might not survive. Now she prances about.

Less than two weeks out of rehab, with another drunk driving case pending, Lohan had a blood-alcohol level between .12 and.13 percent when police found her about P Lohan 1:30 a.m., Sgt. Shane Talbot said. Authorities had received a 911 call from the mother of Lohan's former personal assistant, said Officer Alex Padilla. The assistant had just quits before, he said. "The mother was afraid," Padilla said. "She wasn't quite sure what was going on so she called the police saying she wanted to make sure everything was going to be OK." The woman apparently didn't realize it was Lohan who was behind her, Padilla said. Police said the woman drove her black Cadillac Escalade into the parking lot of Santa Monica's Civic Auditorium, about a block away from the Santa Monica Police Department, followed by Lohan driving a Denali sport utility vehicle. Authorities arrived and saw Lohan and the woman in "heated debate," Padilla said. Lohan and the woman each had two passengers in their vehicles, Padilla said. After a field sobriety test, the 21-year-old movie star was booked on two misdemeanor charges of suspicion of driving under the influence and driving on a suspended license and two felony charges of possession of cocaine and transport of a narcotic, Talbot said. During a pre-booking search, police found cocaine in one of Lohan's pants pockets, Talbot said. Several hours later, Lohan was released on $25,000 bail. A call to Lohan's publicist, Leslie Sloan Zelnik, and attorney, Blair Berk, were not immediately returned. Padilla said he didn't know why Lohan was trying to catch the woman, whom he didn't name. Last week, Lohan turned herself in to Beverly Hills police to face charges of driving under the influence in connection with a Memorial Day weekend hit-and-run crash. celebrity buzz Ja Rule, Lil' Wayne arrested on weapons charges NEW YORK - Ja Rule and Lil' Wayne have been arrested and charged with criminal possession of a weapon in separate incidents, police said.

Officers spotted Carter, 24, and another man smoking marijuana by a tour bus near 61st St. and Columbus Ave.at about 11:30 p.m., police said.The officers took the two men into custody,finding a.40-caliber pistol.Both were charged with criminal possession of a weapon and marijuana. Atkins, 31, was arrested about an hour earlier on West End Avenue. Police said he was in a luxury sedan that was going too fast. Officers stopped the car and arrested the occupants — Atkins, the driver and another man — and found a .40-caliber gun, police said.

Kansan staff report >> ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT Uniforms to adopt official University font Football, men's basketball to be first teams with Trajan'font on uniforms for 2007-08 seasons KU Photo illustration by Drew Bergman/KANSAN Although no official photos or renderings of Kansas' new football uniforms and helmet with the Trajan font have been released, here's The Kansan's best guess as to how the helmet would look. Previous published reports have suggested that the helmet will feature the Trajan KU, instead of the block font from past years. By Dylan Schoonover dschoonover@kansan.com The University's nearly $90,000 lettering will become more prevalent this fall. The Kansas Athletics Department said the uniforms used by the football and men's basketball teams for the upcoming seasons would remain mostly the same, but would include the Trajan font that the University adopted two years ago. Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said the colors wouldn't change and the look wouldn't be much different except for the font on the uniforms. "It's all part of the University's effort to unify the graphic look," Marchiony said. "This year basketball and football will change over. When other programs uniforms wear out, they will be changed as well." The department pledged four years ago to follow the University's lead in incorporating its new graphic design standards. Football helmets will feature @ KANSAN.COM How do you feel about the switch to Trajan? Vote online. the KU logo lettering in Trajan. In Mark Mangino's five years as head coach the helmets have had a KU logo in a block font. Numbers and letters on the football jerseys will also change to Trajan. The new uniforms are expected to be released at Kansas' media day later next month. For nearly 20 years, the men's basketball uniforms have featured some version of the same font, called "western" or "circus" by many. While the new visual identity, including the new KU logo and changes to the Jayhawk, cost the University $88,900 in 2005,the athletics department will not be forced to pay for the new uniforms because of its contract with Adidas. —Edited by Ben Smith Buy Now or Wait (in line) Later Buy your 2007-2008 Bus Pass now and avoid a long wait in August!

Rush said he hoped to return to the court by December. By Dylan Schoonover dschoonover@kansan.com The NCAA tournament is eight months away, but the media in Allen Fieldhouse were still eager to learn about the status of Brandon Rush and his knee rehabilitation. Rehab is a place Rush has become familiar with. He's there multiple times, three days a week, and he works on an exercise bike in between therapy sessions. Rush said he watched the entire 2007 NBA Draft knowing he could have had his name called. "It was kind of tough watching the draft, but I kept in mind that that's going to be me next year," Rush said. "I just have to look at it differently." Rush said he had talked a few times to Julian Wright, who is in New Orleans "livin' the life." Wright told Rush that he was buying a house for himself and a house for his mother. While Wright is enjoying the perks of the NBA, Rush has to start attending classes again Aug. 16. Rush said he wasn't depressed but he also wasn't looking forward to going back to the classroom. He won't be able to start running for another three months. He said that his therapists wouldn't let him come back on the court until he was fully recovered. Rush is busy spending several hours each day rehabbing his knee hoping to be 100 percent by the start of December. He said he knew that if he didn't do the necessary exercises to help heal his knee, he may end up with the limited mobility of his brother, which is currently seen at the Kansas City ProAm league. "I've been there, I had the same injury," JaRon Rush, Brandon's brother, said. "I've lost explosiveness from not rehabling it right. He's got to rehab it constantly." Kansas coach Bill Self said that another year in school could help Rush develop better ball-handling and passing skills. He also said it could give him time to address work ethic. "I told him it's no one's fault. If it had to happen, it was better to happen weeks before the draft process," Self said. "I expect this season to be his last year." Rush said he was looking forward to being able to dunk a basketball again once his therapists gave him the green light. He said he was feeling pretty good and even shooting a basketball a little bit. He said along with his family, his best friend Mario Chalmers had helped him keep his head up during the frustrating time. Prior to the knee injury in May, Rush hadn't had a serious injury since he broke his wrist when he was 10. Rush said he would be busy helping out during games and practices even though he couldn't play. "Coach Self may not want a lot of coaching help." Rush said. "He's already got five assistants." — Edited by Joe Caponio Learn Your Own Way KU Independent Study Study and learn wherever you are Choose from 150 available courses Enroll and begin anytime 785-864-5823 www.ContinuingEd.ku.edu Check with your academic advisor before enrolling. By Dylan Schoonover dschoonover@kansan.com Darrell Arthur can't remember a time in his life when he had an injury that kept him out of more than one basketball game. Arthur I am ready to help you. Forward expects to return by September Arthur Arthur not concerned about injured left leg MEN'S BASKETBALL "I'm young, I'll have the chance to play another world championship, hopefully," Arthur said. "Now instead of playing, I'll be in getting therapy the same time as Brandon." Archivo Arthur was the second Jayhawk injured during the past few months after junior guard Brandon Rush tore the ACL in his right knee in late May. said suffering the stress fracture in the lower part of his left leg in early July frustrated him because not only did it cause him to miss the 2007 FIBA U19 World Championship in Serbia, it also hasn't allowed him time to participate in summer leagues and morning conditioning that would have strengthened his game during the offseason. Arthur said the therapy would consist of a ball stimulation that runs over the top and sides of his lower leg, near the shin. He said the therapy was not painful but it was important to take seriously because if not done right, the injury would persist. "There's just a small pain in my leg," Arthur said. "Everybody around me says to take it day-by-day and most importantly rehab back completely." Kansas coach Bill Self said in a press release that this type of injury wasn't uncommon. He said he understood the disappointment for Arthur but if it had to happen, the summer was the better time. Missing games during the upcoming season shouldn't be an issue for Arthur. He is expected to return from the injury by the beginning of September at the latest. While he said he wasn't in any hurry to return, Arthur was confident the injury would heal quickly and he would be able to get back to playing. He said he had to stay positive during the summer. So far, Arthur was only able to log one official game in Kansas City playing for team Fade Away in the Kansas City ProAm league. It could be worse, however: If Arthur suffered this injury during the year, the Jayhawks could have been without two potential starters. "I'm not worried about it too much. It's getting better, I just have to stay off it," Arthur said. "I'll be back by the first practice for sure." — Edited by Joe Caponio Handcuffs. Headaches. Hassles.

The boathouse is expected to house storage areas, along with offices and a locker room. There is no timetable for the completion of the building. New $6 million boathouse gets city commission approval By Dylan Schoonover dschoonover@kansan.com The Kansas rowing team moved one step closer to its own facility July 17. The Lawrence City Commission approved a measure that allows city staff to continue negotiations with Kansas Athletics about the planned student-funded boathouse near the Kansas River, which is expected to cost nearly $6 million. The new building will serve as a storage area for boats and provide a locker room and a training facility for the 72-member team. University leaders promised to build the rowing team this facility when it began competing at varsity status in 1995. Commissioner Mike Amyx said completing a new state-of the-art building on the riverfront would enhance the park along the river. "There is always safety issues by the river and at night it is dark along there." Amyx said. "The new facility with the new lighting will bring a sense of safety and security to the area." Construction on the new facility will be funded by a student fee referendum passed in the spring of 2006. Under the terms of the referendum, students will contribute $4 million to the project. That referendum also calls for Kansas Athletics Inc. to cover any additional costs of the construction. @KANSAN.COM @ "It will give a feeling of a home base," Catloth said. "It will serve as a point of team unity and certainly boost our recruiting abilities, which is an ease to running a program." Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said KAI expects to contribute around $1 million for the project. He said that money would come from private fund raising. View additional renderings of the proposed rowing boathouse "It will give a feeling of a home base. It will serve as a point of team unity and certainly boost our recruiting abilities." Head coach Rob Catloth said having a boathouse will contribute to the team's success for years to come. He said the new facility will have a substantial impact on the women's rowing team as well as the Student Recreation and Fitness Center crew team. ROB CATLOTH Rowing coach Design plans show that the building will have two stories, and has also been designed to handle potential flooding according to FEMA's standards. The first floor will contain boat storage only. Catloth said the new boathouse would hold 72 boats on its ground level with rowing machines and locker rooms allocated to the second level. The crew team will share the boathouse facilities with the women's varsity squads, Catloth said. The next step for the project is for the University to receive approval to lease part of the park. It must also receive approval from the Planning Commission and eventually the city commission. The city commission did not release a date for these next steps but they are expected to be approved soon. —Edited by Ben Smith FOOTBALL KU ASSSOCIATED PRESS Kansas football coach Mark Mangino answers questions during the Big 12 Conference media day in San Antonio on Monday. Mangino promises better season in 2007 Associated Press Kansas lost twice in overtime and two other times by three points or less last year. The Jayhawks also blew a 35-17 halftime lead against Baylor and gave up 42 second-half points in a loss to Oklahoma State. "Just like anything else, there's no simple answer," Mangino said. The finishes were so frustrating coach Mark Mangino and his staff spent a chunk of the offseason breaking down every play. Their conclusions? "There are situations where we had some physical breakdowns by players, mental breakdowns, coaching decisions. And we put it all together. We say, 'You know, we all share the blame for this thing. Let's make it better." The Jayhawks finished 6-6 and their inability to finish games cost them a bowl bid. Mangino said all the problems are "fixable" and promised a better season. He said the players showed renewed dedication to their summer training regimens. Don't Stand IN LINE – GO ONLINE BUY 2007-08 PARKING PERMITS ONLINE 3STEP PROCESS 1. LOG onto the Kyou Portal 2.
