Cadet Virgil Barnard, Topeka senior, puts a rock drill into motion during a KU Army ROTC training day at Fort Riley on April 12. Barnard assigned soldiers to teams and let everyone know their role for the upcoming simulated missions.
STUDENTS TO SOLDIERS
BY ERIN SOMMER
esommer@kansan.com
Virgil Barnard is hunched over a small notepad near fallen branches in a wooded area when he hears the first shot. His mind is racing. He has minutes to communicate orders to his 10-man squad. Barnard and half of his men will leave their cover in the woods and run across an open area to gather intelligence for the commander back at base. But now the gunfire. He has to change his plans.
"Bound back 300 meters!" Barnard yells to squad members. They hit the ground and crawl away from the blasts. After he establishes that the group is safe, he tells the squad to reorganize and continue its mission.
Half the squad — the bravo team — defends its position and the other half — the alpha team — follows Barnard across the open area. One cadet screams that he's been hit.
Barnard calls for help, but medics reply that Barnard must secure the area before help can come.
The scene is an Army ROTC training exercise, where the guns are filled with blanks and the injuries are pretend. But the future for these University students is real. They've made commitments to the Army, and after they graduate and are commissioned as officers, they will likely head to Iraq or Afghanistan.
That reality is especially daunting given the location of their training — Fort Riley. The same week in April of these simulated
The same week in combat maneuvers, the Army reported that a soldier from the base was killed in Iraq, bringing the total number of fatalities from Fort Riley to 148.

"The Army is forecasting out and putting more scholarships out there," Culbertson said. "With that means, we can recruit a lot more."
Basso said the need for more Army officers and the increase in money for scholarships has everything to do with the war in Iraq.
"If we weren't in a war in Iraq, wed all be saying that our Army is plenty large," Basso said.
Basso said the Army was recently told that it needed to increase to 547,000 soldiers, up from 482.000 soldiers a few years ago. He said that, to date, about half of that increase had already happened.

"It's sort of a double whammy of being in the middle of an unpopular war and having to bring more people in," he said.
Of the 81 cadets enrolled in the program, 33 receive federal scholarships, which includes full tuition, $1,200 toward books, and a stipend of $300 to $500 per month, depending on the cadet's rank. An additional four cadets receive Kansas Board of Regents Scholarships, which pay up to 70 percent of tuition. To receive these scholarships, cadets must have a 2.5 cumulative GPA, have passing scores on physical fitness exams and be medically qualified. After they graduate and the Army commissions them as officers, the scholarships require an eight-year commitment — eight years of active duty or four years in active duty and four years in the National Guard or Army Reserve. Culbertson said several cadets also received scholarship money

When graduate student Deepthi Sriram first arrived at the University of Kansas from her hometown in Chittoor, India, two years ago, the KU Cultural India club was instrumental in helping her to feel at home.
"I feel I've grown quite a lot as a person from my experiences in the club," Sriram said.

She took her involvement a step further when she became the vice president of the club, organizing activities and events.
"The club's goals are to showcase Indian culture in its all glory and to do our bit to forge a feeling of amity between India and the rest of the world," Sriram mid.
The club accomplishes these goals by sponsoring cultural programs during Indian holidays such as Independence Day; Diwali, the Festival of Light; and Holi, the Festival of Color, as well as by organizing picnics, dance parties and movie showings throughout the year.
"Being a part of the club allows Indian students to feel closer to home as they take part in Indian cultural events and celebrate Indian festivals," Sriram said.
"Non-Indian students, too, are encouraged to become a part of the club to get a true feel of what India is by making friends with Indian students," Sriram said.
The club is not open solely to Indians, however.
The club includes over 250 graduate students, undergraduates, faculty and other members of the Lawrence community. In addition to equipping its members with a platform for creativity and intellectual expression, Sriram said the club provided the means necessary to facilitate healthy interactions among Indian and American students.

arranges for pick up from the airport, as well as temporary accommodations for the newcomers.
"The events organized by (the club) provide a great venue for individuals to come forward to present their respective talents in support of Indian culture," Srivastava said.
"This provides a two-fold result. The Indian students who are here have an opportunity to
celebrate with each other while at the same time introducing these customs to the general public here at the University."
Priyanka Saxena, Lucknow India, graduate student, is the president of the club. She said the club showcases Indian culture to the world.

KJHK wins 11 awards at state competition
Winners include seven first-place pieces
BY LUKE MORRIS
Imorris@ku.edu
KJHK 90.7 FM has a few more plaques to add to its studio walls. The University's student-run radio station won 11 awards from the Kansas Association of Broadcasters, including seven first-place awards.
Tom Johnson, station general manager and adviser, said that the seven first-place awards were a record for the station.
"I'm really impressed with how much success students have had,
namely in news reporting," Johnson said. "They should be happy someone recognized their professional efforts."
Johnson said he wasn't surprised that the station fared well because the station submitted a heavy volume of nominations for awards.
Yelena Pavlik, KJHK news director and Plano, Texas, junior, said she was proud of the work the station's news staff put in, especially work done to put together "As Heard from the Hill," a new public affairs program.
"I'm really impressed with how much success students have had, namely in news reporting. They should be happy someone recognized their professional efforts."
Some of the first place awards KJHK won include best public affairs program for "As Heard from the Hill," best complete news feature for "Street Musicians of Lawrence" and best promotional event for "2007 Farm Fresh Sounds."
The Kansas Association of Broadcasters' Student Broadcast Awards are considered the state's highest accolade in student broadcasting. Award winners were invited to attend an awards ceremony on April 14 in Wichita.
"The show, being new last year, was a completely redesigned format. It took a lot of hard work and talent from everyone involved," Pavlik said. "It was a unique experience to have the kind of show we did with completely student-recorded and produced content."
TOM JOHNSON
KJHK general manager
Wh it Bones, Tulsa, Okla., senior, apparently caught onto the hang of radio journalism quick. Bones won best undergraduate documentary for his first ever story, "State of
the Arts - 3 pieces."
"I had no idea I'd be contending for an award, let alone winning it, especially since the series was my first experience with any journalism," Bones said.
Bones said that it was a great time to be at the University and Lawrence, amid all the recent accomplishments.
"Lawrence and KU are doing so well, winning everything from sports to radio to art." Bones said. "It's exciting to be part of a winning community."

NATURAL DISASTER

Suffolk resident Barbara Banker, right, hugs a neighbor as they wait to retrieve their pets at a police checkpoint in Suffolk, Va., Tuesday. Three tornadoes smashed houses, piled cars on each other and injured more than 200 people Monday.
Residents allowed to sift through tornado rubble
BY BOB LEWIS ASSOCIATED PRESS
SUFFOLK, Va. — Residents gathered at a school Wednesday, carrying black garbage bags and backpacks as they waited to be taken to their tornado-ravaged neighborhoods to gather necessities from their homes.
Several said they were upset that officials were allowing them only 10 minutes at their houses.
"I understand the need to make sure more people don't get hurt but it's still frustrating," John Catania said.
Worried state officials had said earlier they didn't know if residents would encounter new dangers including damaged power lines and natural gas mains.
Catania got his first look at his flattened house Wednesday, and said it "looked like somebody took a broom and swept the pad clean."
"These guys don't know what's under the debris, but that's the way it is in these situations. We like to do these things ourselves," state emergency management spokesman Bob Spieldenner said Tuesday.
Police listed condemned homes that homeowners wouldn't be allowed to go into Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the day after tornadoes struck the region, firefighters poked through mounds of rubble sometimes 6 to 8 feet high to make sure no one lay beneath them, and utility crews
worked around the clock to make sure electricity and gas lines presented no danger.
In disasters like these, Spieldenner said, the aftermath can bring as much danger as the storm itself.
"That's the way it was with Hurricane Isabel," in 2003, the Virginia Department of Emergency Management spokesman said, referring to the last major natural calamity to hit Suffolk, a city of 80,000 west of Norfolk.
"There were more people injured in the cleanup after Isabel than in the storm itself. We had people die of carbon monoxide (from running generators indoors), falling off roofs, falling out of trees," he said.

KU ARMY ROTC FACTS
— The KU chapter of Army ROTC was established in 1918 after World War I. It was the first ROTC program on campus.
in World War II the ROTC provided military leadership and helped mobilize the Army.
- More than 2,000 Army officers have been commissioned through KU ROTC.
The University is one of 50 in the nation with all branches of the military represented in its ROTC

CADETS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
from involvement in the Army Reserve and National Guard. Basso said every cadet had the opportunity to receive a scholarship.
Paying for college was one of the reasons John Meier, a Leavenworth senior who will be commissioned this July, chose ROTC.
Meier, who said he turned down an opportunity to attend the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to come to the University for a regular college experience, has a father who is retired from the Army. Meier said he knew from his childhood that the military always takes care of its own.
"I knew in high school that I really wanted to be in the Army," Meier said. "A huge part of it was paying for college."
Even with monetary benefits, Culbertson said recruiting during wartime has challenges, especially when talking with the worried parents of potential cadets.
"That's the big elephant in the closet," Culbertson said. "I tell them I don't know what we're going to be doing in four years."
'THE ONLY LIFE I KNOW'
Tyler Abel didn't have to persuade a worried father to allow him to join Army ROTC. Service in the Army and involvement in the KU Army ROTC is a family tradition.
Tyler was born two weeks after his father, Wade Abel, was commissioned as an Army officer. As an Army brat. Tyler struggles to name a hometown, but identifies Billings, Mont., as home because it's where his grandparents live.
Tyler also lived in Georgia, Germany, Alaska, Louisiana, New York and Oklahoma, before the Abel family moved to Kansas in 2004.
His decision to follow in his father's bootsteps wasn't immediate. He spent a semester on the Washburn campus, unsure of what he wanted to do, before a routine trip to Fort Leavenworth with his
Tyler will graduate in December from Washburn University, but he participates in the KU Army ROTC program, where his father is an instructor and the battalion executive officer.
"It's actually a lot of fun," Basso said. "My hunch is that Major Abel is tougher on Tyler."
Basso, who teaches the senior-level military science course that Tyler is in, said it was common for cadets to come from military families, and the father-son relationship between the Abels wasn't an issue at school.
Wade Abel said having his son in the military during wartime would be a different experience from being in the military himself
Wade Abel said he wanted to be sure not to interfere with other faculty members who taught his son.
Tyler, who lives with his parents in Lawrence, said that when he and his father were at home, they sometimes discussed ROTC, but they usually didn't talk about his ROTC classes.
"As a parent, you're always going to be worried," he said. "You always know in the back of your head that when you sign up, odds are you're going."
'EVERYONE THINKS THEY'RE SUPERMAN'
Some cadets have already gone. One-third of the current Army ROTC cadets already serve in the National Guard or Reserves, Basso said. As part of a Guard or Reserve unit, these cadets could be asked to deploy at any time, but as full-time students and officers-in-training, they can choose to defer deployment to continue school.
THE CADET CREED
I am an Army Cadet. Soon I will take an oath and become an Army Officer committed to defending the values which make this nation great. Honor is my touchstone. I undertake mission first and people always.
I am the first — the third of those warriors who have made the final sacrifice.
I am the present commander and appointee, enhancing my skills in the science of warfare and the art of leadership.
But above all, I am the future — the future warrior leader of the United States Army. May God give me the compassion and judgement to lead and the gallantry in battle to win.
I will do my duty.
When Specialist Virgil Barnard learned his National Guard unit would deploy to Iraq, he knew he wanted to go even though he could get out of it.
"He just did it," Wade Abel said.
"When he's here, it's 'sir' or 'Major Abel.'
mother to renew his Army ID card made him feel like the Army culture was right for him.
Not Dad.
Wade Abel said the transition from having a father-son relationship to having an officer-subordinate relationship wasn't difficult.
"I realized this is where I needed to be," Tyler said. "Army life is the only life I know. It just feels right to me to do it."

Barnard, Topeka senior, is in an infantry unit of the National Guard
- based in Lawrence - and will be commissioned as an officer in July.
He served overseas for 18 months, 13 of which were spent in Iraq, but one day in particular stands out for him - May 20, 2006.
Barnard and 18 other U.S. soldiers exchanged heavy gunfire with insurgents for 33 minutes.
Barnard said it was the largest firefight he participated in. He and his fellow soldiers shot off 1,800 rounds, and Barnard, team leader and sawgunner that day, personally fired 200. Barnard said that nobody in his platoon was hurt, but that afterwards, they had to walk through fields looking for opposition forces who died in the firefight.
He said that, on this day, they didn't find any.
Barnard said family history in the military was one reason he enlisted, but he ended one family tradition when he came back alive
from Iraq.
"I was the first person from my family ever to come back from war" he said.
His paternal grandmother's brother and his maternal grandfather's brother were members of the 101st Airborne Division and died on D-Day in France during World War II.
Barnard said he didn't give much thought to the possibility of dying when he was in Iraq.
"I was in an infantry unit, and we all joke around about it, but everyone thinks they're Superman," Barnard said.
Barnard said being shot at in Iraq made him realize the value of the training he did in the Army. He said that leading his squad in the ROTC training at Fort Riley provided good practice giving orders and making life-saving decisions.
"When you get to the real situation, you start to realize that there was a reason for everything you were doing and it wasn't as stupid as it seemed at the time," Barnard said. "ROTC doesn't train people to be in the Army. They're not going to teach you to clear a room in a building or anything like that. What ROTC does is it makes you make decisions, stand by your decisions and train to be a leader."
Barnard, 25, will graduate from Washburn in May with a 4.0 GPA and is one of four candidates for the Sibberson award, a large monetary gift given to the top student in Washburn's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
It's a feat for anyone, but Barnard in particular has reason to be proud. He graduated from high school with a cumulative GPA of 2.25.
"I was an idiot in high school," Barnard said.
He also knows his future will involve another deployment to Iraq.
Barnard said that the structure and discipline he had received from his involvement in the military made him grow up and set him up for success in college. He said he knew he would spend his whole career in the military and hoped to earn a graduate degree along the way.
'UNIMAGINABLE UNTIL YOU SEE IT UP CLOSE'
Once cadets graduate, they can no longer defer deployment.
Nicholas Potter, who graduated from the KU ROTC program in May 2006 and was commissioned the day after graduation, just returned from serving six months in Iraq.
He enrolled as a freshman in 2002, before the United States entered Iraq, but Potter, now a First Lieutenant in the Armor Branch, said he knew going to war was a possibility the whole way through his ROTC experience.
That possibility came to fruition in September 2007 when he was sent to Iraq. Because he served on a base, Potter said he experienced little violence, but the experience impacted him.
"Going out and seeing the absolute poverty that the people live with every day made one of the biggest impressions on me while I was there." Potter said. "They live such an impoverished existence

that is unimaginable until you see it up close."
He said his day-to-day routine was the same each day in Iraq and he missed the variety of life experiences in the United States.
"There was a feeling of being detached from the things happening back home, by missing birthdays, holidays, New Year's and other events." Potter said.

Potter said the ROTC program was the foundation for all his Army training, and being in Iraq allowed him to grow.
"Professionally it was a way to put all my training into practice, and I continued to learn from the others over there whod been in the country longer than me," he said.
He said he valued the unique experiences he had in college because of his involvement in the ROTC.
"How many students can say that over the weekend they went to Fort Leavenworth and qualified with an M-16 and caught a ride back to Lawrence on a Blackhawk helicopter?" Potter said. "My Freshman ROTC class started with 20 to 30 cadets and by senior year, there were only six of us who stuck it out all four years."
Virgil Barnard, who returned to KU Army ROTC after a deployment to Iraq, said his military science professor, Basso, called on him in class to share his Iraq experiences, and he said cadets sometimes approached him with questions.
Cadets getting ready to be commissioned said they valued learning from those who had been in a war zone.
'I NEVER GO INTO DETAILS'
"I just tell them what my basic job was," Barnard said. "I never go into details. I guess you just don't want to think about it."
Basso said he recounted his personal Iraq experiences in class when it could help illustrate a point, and parts of the curriculum included discussion of the Army's current situation. He said the cultures of countries where soldiers may serve was especially emphasized.
The cadets can also ask questions of the instructors, all of whom have been to Iraq and some of them, such as Basso, more than once.
"What we're trying to avoid is that we become so focused on Iraq and Afghanistan that we lose other cultures," Basso said.
Basso also said classes were meant to prepare cadets for leadership in all potential situations.
Basso, who acknowledged the general unpopularity of the Iraq war in the United States, said he and the cadets hadn't heard negative comments on campus from being associated with the Army.

Basso said ROTC teaching jobs were coveted in the military because officers enjoyed interacting with future soldiers, and because working on campus provides a break from the rigor of the typical military lifestyle.

"What we're fighting for, I've never seen anyone be disrespectful against," Basso said. "It's more interesting to be in a place with diverse opinions."
'EVERYONE IS A LITTLE BIT SCARED'
The cadets' feelings about deploying to a war zone are mixed — some express excitement, some nervousness, and some a combination of emotions. They all say that it will be a learning experience and they accept it as a result of their roles as soldiers.
"A deployment is in everyone's future," said Jessica Adkison, a St. Louis senior who will be commissioned May 19. "It's certainly something you think about."
Dan Flynn, a St. Louis senior who will be commissioned with Adkison, said, "If it's not Iraq, it's Afghanistan. I don't worry about what I can't control. I'll go over there and do my very best and let what's going to happen, happen."
John Adam Keuhn, Leavenwortn senior, said the opportunity to serve
in Iraq was one of the main reasons he joined the Army ROTC.
"I really want to get deployed," Keuhn said.
John Meier, who will be commissioned in July, said that going to Iraq would be an opportunity to learn in a hands-on environment.
"Everyone is a little bit scared to be in a combat situation," Meier said. "The thing that makes me the most nervous is being in a situation where my decisions affect people's lives."
Basso, who said 49 soldiers in his brigade were killed during his second tour in Iraq, said part of the leadership training of ROTC involved learning how to handle death when serving.
"You really have to think hard about what you do to keep your platoon going." Basso said.
Basso said that KU Army ROTC tracked its graduates carefully, and he said he knew of no ROTC graduates who had died in either of the current conflicts.
The cadets have more training in front of them. After graduation and being commissioned, they go to Basic Officer Leader Courses, including tactical training and training specific to the branch where they will be assigned.
After that, the future for these 81 cadets, and the Army, is uncertain. As presidents and policies in Iraq and Afghanistan change and are debated, the lives of these soon-to-be soldiers will change, too.
The cadets said their ROTC leadership experience would be invaluable wherever their military careers take them.
"It's gotten me as far as it can get me — to go to the first unit," Kuehn said.

"He's definitely someone I look up to," Tyler said.
Wade Abel said he treated his son as he did other cadets when he and Tyler are at school.
"I don't want him thinking I'm looking over his shoulder," Wade Abel said. Tyler, who is a senior at Washburn University, joined the Army ROTC in spring 2005, after his father joined the KJ ROTC faculty.

Blaine sets record on Oprah show
BY TARA BURGHART
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — David Blaine took on a Zen-like appearance in the water tank as the minutes ticked by during his attempt to set a new breath-holding record. Oprah Winfrey, however, was anything but calm.
She fidgeted in her chair, pursed her lips, placed her head in her hands, and kept seeking reassurance from the doctor at her side about the 35-year-old magician's persistently high heart rate.
"I'll be glad when it's over. I don't like suspense," she told the audience during a commercial break.
Soon enough, Winfrey — and Blaine — could breathe a lot easier.
Submerged in a water-filled sphere on the stage of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" during a live broadcast, Blaine held his breath for 17 minutes and 4 seconds. That bested the previous record of 16 minutes and 32 seconds, set Feb. 10 by Switzerland's Peter Colat, according to Guinness World Records.
Blaine had a smile on his face soon after his head rose above the water and he took several deep gulps of air. Within about a minute, he was able to hold a microphone and tell Winfrey, "I feel great," later adding that breaking the record was a fulfillment of "a lifelong dream."
Before his attempt, Blaine was allowed to inhale pure oxygen for up to 30 minutes, although he inhaled for only 23 minutes. A Guinness World Records judge was on hand to certify the feat.
In May 2006 as a finale to a week spent in an aquarium with an air mask at New York's Lincoln Center, Blaine tried to set another type of breath-holding record. Without breathing pure oxygen beforehand, he tried to break the existing record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds for an attempt of that type.
Blaine was in much better shape after Wednesday's attempt. He walked unassisted down a set of stairs to join Winfrey for an interview. He told her he had doubted while in the water whether he held able to break the record because of his high heart rate.
Blaine had expected his heart rate to drop perhaps as low as under 20 beats per minute while he was in the water. But for most of the attempt, it was over 100 beats per minute, then started dropping and fluctuating rapidly during the last 2 1/2 minutes.
But he had to be rescued shortly after 7 minutes when he was unconscious and having convulsions.
While training, Blaine said he would meditate to lower his heart rate. But amid the hubbub of a live studio audience, and with a record at stake, Blaine admitted he had trouble forgetting his surroundings.
The lower the heart rate, the less oxygen is consumed.

COMMENTARY
Despite national title, Lawrence still lacks
JESSE BROWN
Lawrence seems to be at the pinnacle of its awesomeness.
It has the best college in the nation, the University of Kansas, which was the Men's Basketball 2008 National Champions and the Orange Bowl Champions. It is one of the smartest towns in the nation, and has an excellent music scene. All of these achievements bring pride to the town of Lawrence. It makes me proud that I live here in Lawrence now more than ever.
I love movies. Before I moved to Lawrence, I would go see movies all the time. But I just can't bring myself to going see a movie in Lawrence's Southwind Theater. It makes me want to wait for the movies to actually come out on DVD.
But with all the pride I have for this town, there are a few things that stick out like an ugly sore thumb like its poor excuse of a movie theater and its pothole ridden streets.
The best word I could use to describe Southwind Theaters is mediocre. Lawrence deserves a top-notch movie theater with comfortable stadium seating and a surround sound with great speakers. We are eight years into the new millennia, so why does Southwind Theaters look like a theater that is outdated? Why did AMC Theaters skip Lawrence?
Anyone who daily drives the streets of Lawrence can testify to Lawrence's pot holes. I'm glad that we, KU students, are proud of our school's achievements and I'm also glad we get to ride in style bumping around like we all got shocks. I know I felt really cool on that glorious Monday night when we beat Memphis for the championship and I rode around yelling "Dicky V. could eat his heart out, that ACC loving sluit!" while I appeared to be white water rafting on Lawrence's shoddy streets. Actually, nothing that night could have ruined the high I was on for our school winning the National Championship, but the problems still persist.
"We got our swagger back," exclaimed Athletic Director Lew Perkins at the celebration on Tuesday following the championship. He was right, KU did. Now it's time for the rest of Lawrence to step in line in becoming the best college town in the nation.
By participating in the glory of our victory on Massachusetts Street, I forever forged a special bond with KU and Lawrence. I only wish to exclaim that Lawrence has no faults in its awesomeness. I want to tell anyone that is plenty of fun stuff to do here in Lawrence, whether you want to see a good movie comfortably, see a good band in one of Lawrence's venues, or to simply root for the Jayhawks in any of the Lawrence's restaurants and bars.

'Illegal' label still important in debate
》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR
This is in response to Ms. McNaughton's column last Thursday
how to submit
As an immigrant myself, I also support immigration. However, as a legal immigrant to the United States, I stand firmly against illegal immigration. Another thing I stand firmly against is misrepresenting an issue that many people have very strong feelings about.
The proponents of immigration are quick to cite all the strife these immigrants endure to physically reach our country and the many that die in an attempt to cross the border. What they fail to mention is that these people are illegally trying to cross the border, hence the dire conditions and many deaths. If all these people were not illegal and breaking a law, crossing our borders would not have such a high mortality rate. This is a point that many pro-immigrant proponents fail to mention when presenting their

I am not for building a wall, but I am also not for opening our borders like floodgates. Much of what pro-immigration proponents seek by allowing these illegal immigrants in — people with a strong work ethic, stable economy, and diversity — can be achieved through legal immigration. Let's not misconstrue such an important matter by omitting "illegal" from immigrants when presenting your case.

COMMENTARY
Honest facts about writing this column
MHRC
DENNIS MERSMANN
How did I get this job? What qualifications do I have? Don't I have anything better to write about? From time to time, readers of the Kansan Opinion page have questions and post them on the UDK Web site. I would like to take this opportunity to answer these queries posed to me and my fellow columnists.
At best, three people thought I was a good writer, which isn't a ringing endorsement. At worst they hired me simply because I wanted the job.
My application was reviewed by 0 to 3 people, and I was called for an interview that ended up never happening.
HOW DID I GET THIS
WHAT ARE MY QUALIFICATIONS?
JOB?
I wanted it, plain and simple. I filled out the application, answered some questions and submitted a writing sample, which included two pieces. One about why I love Meat Loaf and the other about why Jamie Kennedy needs to find a new line of work.
Max Rinkel
Someone who goes by the hand
vladslaskl asked my fellow columnist Nick Mangiaracina "What are the qualifications for being a UDK writer, really?"
Nick is far more qualified than I. He's a journalism major. He's also senior writing for an award winning paper. Chances are good that he will be employed in this field in the near future.
This is my second foray into the newspaper world. My first was last year when I reviewed movies for the Kansan. As you can see, it doesn't take much to get my job.
DON'T I HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO WRITE ABOUT?
My qualifications are almost nonexistent. I've taken (and passed!) several writing courses. I've been trained by KU's finest on sentence structure and word choice. However, there are no journalism classes on my transcript.
This has been asked of me and other columnists. Linguo_the_grammar_robot specifically asked me, "Do you have anything better to right [sic] about?" in a post about my plagiarism column. The answer, plain and simple is no.
My main qualification: I wanted the job and took thirty minutes out of my life to ask for it, even though being published means my full, real name runs along with a photo.
Becoming an opinion columnist for the Kansan is a low-risk, high-reward situation. Thirty minutes for a semester of fame. If you feel that the other columnists and I are doing a less than satisfactory job, then why not pick up an application and show us how it's done?
I am an opinion columnist and my task is simple: write about my opinions, and this is precisely what I do. The topics I discuss are ones that my opinions revolve around.
Really, what would be better to write about in an opinion column than issues I take stances on? I'm blasé about steroids in professional sports. It would be irresponsible of me to write about them. Barry Bond's head could swell to the size of a watermelon for all I care.

A lot of opinion columns revolve around politics, and maybe that's what the readers of the Kansan are clamoring for. But politics don't interest me and don't inspire me to write, so I never addressed them. Are politics more important than cover charges and Roy Williams? Maybe, but politics aren't the only thing going on in the world. I felt that it was best to leave the elections to people who are passionate about them.
These are my honest responses to these questions. Hopefully they've been informative. Keep the comments coming, positive or negative. They are appreciated. Even if you just want to say that I'm not qualified to hold an unpaid position in a free newspaper, I won't cry ... much.

Are you there, God? It's me,
global warming.
When I logged on to Facebook the other day, I was disturbed to see that my two least favorite things (organized religion and Yahoo! Inc.) have friend requested my best buddy, the Green Movement.
According to the article, the Pope has made a decent fuss about environmental problems, enough so to scare some churches to invest in eco-palms for this year's Palm Sunday.
edge and combat the climate crisis. In fact, Vatican announced plans last summer to become the world's first carbon-neutral state. Yahoo's article said that photovoltaic cells have been installed and that the Church has discussed the consequences of global warming.
In a story posted on Yahoo! Green (which I had no idea existed until 12 hours ago), the Catholics' second-in-command declared pollution a sin.
And the Green Movement accepted their friend request.
Even though pollution is now one of the seven deadly sins, recent studies show that fewer Catholics are attending confession. It's okay, sinners, the rest of the human race doesn't want to own up to global warming yet either.
While Catholics only have a few new sins to steer clear of, I've compiled the Green Movement's 10 "Greenmandments" to make sure the rest of us can also avoid eternal damnation.
As much as I disagree with everything else the Pope stands for, I like seeing a major religion anckrow-

Federal Reserve cuts interest rates Wednesday
Rates cut to lowest point in nearly four years as nation teeters on edge of recession
BY JEANNINE AVERSA ASSOCIATED PRESS
CITY MARKET
WASHINGTON — Scrambling to shore up the faltering economy, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates to the lowest point in nearly four years Wednesday as the nation teetered on the edge of recession.
》 ECONOMY
Wall Street rallied at first but then pulled back, concerned that the reduction might be the last for a while.
Traders and Specialists look at a monitor on the trading floor at the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday while the Fed announced its decision to cut a quarter point interest rate, the seventh reduction since September.
In fact, the Fed's trim was smaller than those of recent months amid indications the central bank might pause to see if months of powerful rate-cutting medicine and billions of dollars in stimulus checks will be enough to lift the country out of its slump.
Chairman Ben Bernanke led a divided Fed, in an 8-2 vote, in slicing its key rate by one-quarter percentage point to 2 percent.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In turn, the prime lending rate for millions of consumers and businesses
average up more than 178 points — lifting it above 13,000 for the first time since early January — right after the Fed action. Then traders' caution returned, and the index ended the day 11.81 points below where it started.
fell by a corresponding amount, to 5 percent. The prime rate applies to certain credit cards, home equity lines of credit and other loans. Both rates are the lowest since late 2004.
The Federal Reserve, which has been dropping rates since last September, turned much more forceful early this year when housing, credit and financial problems worsened. Rate reductions in January and March alone marked the most aggressive intervention in a quarter-century in an effort to reenergize consumers and businesses
Although the Fed didn't take another reduction off the table, a growing number of economists believe the central bank is winding down its rate-cutting campaign. Barring another hit to economic growth, they believe rates probably will stay where they are — perhaps through the rest of this year — in part because the Federal Reserve is concerned that further cuts could join with galloping energy and food prices and spread inflation dangerously higher.
"The Fed didn't completely shut the door on rate cuts but they closed it part way."
By all accounts, the country's

The economy crawled ahead at a pace of just 0.6 percent from January through March as housing and credit problems forced people and businesses
Both men have a reputation for being especially vigilant about fighting inflation. At the Fed's previous meeting in March, they opposed cutting rates by a whopping three-quarters point and preferred a smaller reduction.
Two members — Charles Plosser, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, and Richard Fisher, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas — opposed cutting rates Wednesday, a crack in the usually unified front the Fed often shows the public.
"The Fed didn't completely snut the door on rate cuts but they closed it part way," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Economy, com. "I think the overall message was they've done a lot already to help the economy and this will be enough. But they stand ready to do more if that is needed."
At the same time, many economists believe the economy already is declining.
"Recent information indicates that economic activity remains weak," the Fed said. "Household
Bernanke's juggling act is getting harder. Fed policymakers are trying to bolster economic growth, and at the same time they are mindful that they can't let inflation get out of hand. The very rate reductions the Fed depends on to energize the economy can also sow the seeds of inflation down the road.
and business spending has been subdued, and labor markets have softened further. Financial markets remain under considerable stress, and tight credit conditions and the deepening housing contraction are likely to weigh on economic growth over the next few quarters."
Under one rough rule, if the economy contracts for six straight
months it is considered to be in recession. However, that didn't happen in the last recession — in 2001. A panel of experts at the National Bureau of Economic Research that determines when U.S. recessions begin and end uses a broader definition, taking into account income, employment and other barometers. The bureau's finding is usually made well after the fact.
Job losses for the first three months of the year neared the staggering quarter-million mark, and a government report on Friday is expected to show that employers shed jobs again in April. The unemployment rate, now at 5.1 percent, also could creep higher in April and hit 6 percent early next year, analysts say.
to hunker down, the Commerce Department reported hours before the Fed's action. Growth had been just as feeble in the prior quarter.
The Fed's previous rate reductions, which take months to work their way through the economy, should help lift growth in the second half of this year. The government's $168 billion economic-stimulus package — including tax rebates that started flowing to bank accounts on Monday — also should help energize activity, the Bush administration, Bernanke and private economists have said.

Democrats continue to chase superdelegates
WASHINGTON - Barack Obama is closing in on Democratic presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton's advantage among superdelegates, building on his lead in the primary race even as he faces troubled times.
Party leaders are encouraging superdelegates to pick a side by late June to prevent the fight from going to the national convention in August, and it seems some are listening as the race enters its final five weeks of voting.
Chelsea Clinton got a superdellegate for her mom while campaigning
in Puerto Rico on Wednesday, just as Obama press secretary Bill Burton sent out a statement announcing the support of Rep. Lois Capps. The statement didn't mention the personal connection — Capps is Burton's mother-in-law.
Clinton had a big jump start among superdelegates, many of whom have ties to the Clintons and backed her candidacy early on. But most of the superdelegates taking sides recently have gone for Obama, who has won more state contests.
Obama trails Clinton by just 21 superdelegates, 243-264, cutting her lead in half in less than two months. This week, he picked up seven delegates to her four.
About 230 superdelegates remain undecided,and about 60 more will be selected at state party conventions and meetings throughout the spring.
The superdelegate chase is a key piece of good news for Obama in what has been a bad week. The Illinois senator is coming off a big loss in Pennsylvania, steeped in controversy surrounding his outspoken former pastor while Clinton
fares better against Republican likely nominee John McCain in the latest Associated Press-Ipsos poll.
Superdelegates are nearly 800 elected leaders and Democratic party officials who aren't bound by the outcome of state contests and can cast their ballot for any candidate at the national convention. They are especially valuable in this race since neither Clinton nor Obama can get enough delegates to win the nomination through the primaries and caucuses held
But the problems aren't stopping his ability to win support from superdelegates who are likely to cast the deciding votes in the Democratic race.
across the country.
Obama now leads in the delegate count overall 1731.5 to 1598.5 for Clinton. A candidate needs 2,025 delegates to win the nomination. About 230 superdelegates remain undecided, and about 60 more will be selected at state party conventions and meetings throughout the spring.
Clinton had stalled in drawing their support as Obama won more states than she, but Clinton won Pennsylvania last week and has been able to announce a new supporter every day this week — two on Wednesday.
Two of the most important superdelegates to sign on this week come from the states that vote next — North Carolina and Indiana, which hold primaries on May 6 and are the largest states left to vote. Obama got the support of Rep. Baron Hill of Indiana, while Clinton won the backing of North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley even though Obama is expected to win the state.

Remains of last Romanov family members discovered
JAMES SCHNEIDER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANASTASIA Girgorenko, a post doctoral student, works with DNA samples in a laboratory at the Irving and Betty Brudnick Neuropsychiatric Research Institute in Worcester, Mass. Remains found last year were announced to be those of Alexei and Maria Romanov.
BY MIKE ECKEL ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — For nine decades after Bolshevik executioners gunned down Czar Nicholas II and his family, there were no traces of the remains of Crown Prince Alexei, the hemophiliac heir to Russia's throne.
Some said the delicate 13-year-old had somehow survived and escaped; others believed his bones were lost in Russia's vastness, buried in secret amid fear and chaos as the country lurched into civil war.
Now an official says DNA tests have solved the mystery by identifying bone shards found in a forest as those of Alexei and his sister, Grand Duchess Maria.
The remains of their parents — Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra — and three siblings, including the czar's youngest daughter, Anastasia, were unearthed in 1991 and reburied in the imperial resting place in St. Petersburg. The Russian Orthodox Church made all seven of their saints in 2000.
Despite the earlier discoveries and ceremonies, the absence of Alexel's and Maria's remains gnawed at descendants of the Romanov dynasty, history buffs and royalists. Even if Wednesday's announcement is confirmed and widely accepted, many descendants of the royal family are unlikely to be fully assuaged; they seek formal "rehabilitation" by the government.
"The tragedy of the czar's family will only end when the family is declared victims of political repression," said German Lukyanov, a lawyer for royal descendants.
Nicholas abdicated in 1917 as revolutionary fervor swept Russia, and he and his family were detained. They were shot by a firing squad on July 17, 1918, in the basement of the Yekaterinburg house where they were being held.
Rumors persisted that some of the family had survived and escaped. Claims by women to be Anastasia were particularly prominent, although there were also pretenders to Alexei's and Maria's identities.
"It was 99.9 percent clear they had all been killed; now with these shards, it's 100 percent," said Nadia Kizenko, a Russian scholar at the university at Albany, State University of New York. "Those who regret this news will be those who liked the royal pretender myth."
Alexei was one of the more compelling of the victims, drawing sympathy because of his hemophilia. His mother's terror of the disease and fear that he would not live to gain the throne were key to her falling under the thrall of the hypnotic and sexually ravenous self-declared
holy man Rasputin, who exerted vast influence on the royal family.
Researchers unearthed the bone shards last summer in a forest near Yekaterinburg, where the royal family was killed, and enlisted Russian and U.S. laboratories to conduct DNA tests.
Eduard Rossel, governor of the region 900 miles east of Moscow, said tests done by a U.S. laboratory had identified the shards as those of Alexei and Maria.
"This has confirmed that indeed it is the children," he said. "We have now found the entire family."
He did not specify the laboratory, but a genetic research team working at the University of Massachusetts Medical School has been involved in the process. Eugeny Rogaev, who headed the team that tested the remains in Moscow and at the medical school in Worcester, Mass., was called into the case by the Russian Federation Prosecutor's Office.
He told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he delivered the results to Russian authorities, but said it was up to the prosecutor's office — not him or his team — to disclose the findings.
The test results were based on analysis of mitochondrial DNA, the genetic material passed down only from mothers to children. That DNA is more stable than nuclear DNA — the material inherited from
the father's side — especially when remains are badly damaged.
In this case, the bone fragments were so shattered and burned that Rogaev's team first had to determine whether enough uncontaminated genetic material still existed for testing.
The delicate work proved that, indeed, useful DNA could be extracted from a very small amount of the material - a critical fact, since they wanted to preserve as much of the bone fragments as possible out of respect for the victims.
With the mitochondrial analysis completed, the team is working on the nuclear DNA analysis and comparing the samples to paternal relatives of the czar's family.
It was unclear if the Russian Orthodox Church will recognize them as genuine. The church's press service said no one could comment on Wednesday's announcement.
It was also unclear whether the descendents of the royal family would accept the identification. Lukyanov said neither he nor his clients had received confirmation.
Lukyanov's efforts to get the government to declare the royal family victims of political repression have been repeatedly rejected by Russian courts, which have said the family's killing was premeditated murder, not a political reprisal.

White House regrets flying 'Mission Accomplished' banner
BY TERENCE HUNT ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The White House said Wednesday that President Bush has paid a price for the "Mission Accomplished" banner that was flown in triumph five years ago but later became a symbol of U.S. misjudgments and mistakes in the long and costly war in Iraq.
Thursday is the fifth anniversary of Bush's dramatic landing in a Navy jet on an aircraft carrier homebound from the war. The USS Abraham Lincoln had launched thousands of airstrikes on Iraq.
"Major combat operations in Iraq have ended," Bush said at the time. "The battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on Sept. 11, 2001, and still goes
on." The "Mission Accomplished" banner was prominently displayed above him — a move the White House came to regret as the display was mocked and became a source of controversy.
After shifting explanations, the White House eventually said the "Mission Accomplished" phrase referred to the carrier's crew completing its 10-month mission, not the military completing its mission in Iraq.
"President Bush is well aware that the banner should have been much more specific and said 'mission accomplished' for these sailors who are on this ship on their mission." White House press secretary Dana Perino said Wednesday.
She said what is important now is "how the president would describe the fight today, It's been a very tough month in Iraq, but we are taking the fight to the enemy."
At least 49 U.S. troops died in Iraq in April, making it the deadliest month since September when 65 U.S. troops died.
Now in its sixth year, the war in Iraq has claimed the lives of at least 4,061 members of the U.S. military. Only the Vietnam War (August 1964 to January 1973), the war in Afghanistan (October 2001 to present) and the Revolutionary War (July 1776 to April 1783) have engaged America longer.

"Even the most successful business deals come up with some legal problem," Roberts said.
Roberts said that despite the fact that the most fertile lands in the world were part of the deal, different representations of the constitution almost made the deal fall through. He said if this were the case, Kansas would be much different today.
"Instead of 'Go Jayhawks,' Roberts said, "they would be saying 'Viva La Jayhawks.'"
Roberts said the Supreme Court played a key role in making hard decisions in constitutional law.
Adam Davis, third-year law student, asked Roberts whether he

Roberts said the constitution was just a piece of paper. He said although it was one of the most important pieces of

"We're not elected." Roberts said, "so if people don't like what we are doing, it is kind of too bad."
"It made it engaging," McCray Pearson said, "and the time went by quick."
Joyce McCray Pearson, director of the Wheat Law Library, said the lecture's design was great because it allowed students to be interactive with the chief justice.
Annie Van Allen, Clearwater junior, asked whether the judge felt uncomfortable allowing the first amendment to shield people who do harm to others.
Roberts said separating personal and legal issues was imperative in the Supreme Court, and many aids were available, such as past cases and rules of court, to make sure it achieved that goal.
Roberts said the appointment process was justified because someone had to protect citizens' constitutional rights even if they were unpopular.
He said the Supreme Court's opinions were just another part of the decision-making process. He said they allowed future courts to understand the reasoning of Supreme Court verdicts.
Roberts said the job came with some harsh demands to protect people based on the law and not on

Robert's said deals like the Louisiana Purchase show the value of

Sara Zafar, a third-year law student, said the lecture was not about processes and legal matters as she expected.
"I heard that it was sold out right away, but I didn't see all the seats filled." Zafar said. "This is a pretty big deal for the University."
The sold-out lecture was streamed lived into an auditorium in Budig Hall.
Roberts's speech was a part of the annual Vickers Memorial Lecture Series in memory of J.A. Vickers Sr., and Robert F. Vickers Sr.

Pitcher poised for season's final games

Despite changing line up, Nick Czyz remains strong as a weekend starter
Junior pitcher Nick Czyz throws a pitch against Texas A&M Saturday afternoon at Hoglund Ballpark. Coach Ritch Price said he has seen Czyz mature as a player in Czyz's three years at Kansas.

Weston White/KANSAN
Tuesday night Shaeffer Hall took the mound for Kansas, serving as a reminder of the Jayhawks' original 2008 weekend rotation.
That weekend rotation included Hall, a sophomore left-hander, and junior left-hander Sam Freeman. The same weekend rotation later featured sophomore left-hander Wally Marceliel and was eventually supposed to be anchored by junior left-hander Andy Marks, who was recovering from an injury.
It's the same weekend rotation that traded those lefties for two right-handers; senior Andres Esquibel — who had previously been a staple of the Kansas bullpen — and freshman and invited walk-on T.J. Walz.
Junior closer Paul Smyth was even slated to start a Sunday game a couple weeks ago, but a relief appearance earlier in the weekend nixed that plan.
With so much commotion surrounding a simple three-man rotation, it's easy to forget the arm that's been there all along — that of junior left-hander Nick Czyz. Even as tumultuous as Kansas' pitching situation has been — a 5.26 team ERA, for instance — it's hard to imagine just how bleak it would be without Czyz as the cornerstone of the staff.
Every Friday night, Czyz strolls to the mound, knowing he's matched up with the opponent's ace. Some pitchers aren't mentally tough enough to handle that responsibility. There was a time when Czyz himself wasn't. But this year he welcomed it and is on the brink of flourishing as a Friday-night starter.
"It's been awesome," Czyz said. "You get to go toe-to-toe with, honestly, some of the best pitchers in the nation. You kind of get to see where you're at on a weekly basis."
After appearing in 17 games his freshman season — including a victorious five and one-third inning effort in the 2006 Big 12 Championship game against Nebraska — Czyz was a frontrunner to head Kansas' pitching rotation as a sophomore. He is also the younger brother of Don Czyz, who was an all-American his senior year, which increased the hype surrounding Nick. However, the lofty expectations never came to fruition.
Despite a 4.60 ERA and 62 strikeouts in 72 and one-third innings, which were all second best on the team, he also had a 4-8 record, a 1.77:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, a 1.58 WHIP and he averaged just more than five innings per start.
Part of the problem was his throwing shoulder — which wasn't at full strength most of the season — but his maturity was also a factor. He took losses hard, sometimes declining to talk to media.
A year later, Czyz is hardly the same pitcher. His velocity has increased from the 84-86 mph range to 88-91 mph and
he's gained the confidence in his play to pitch inside to hitters. Not only is his arm sound, but his mind is too.
"It takes incredible maturity to pitch on Friday night," Kansas coach Ritch Price
In the past, Price said he's had pitchers who weren't willing to accept the challenge of being a Friday-night starter, but Czyz has.
said. "You know it's going to be a 2-1 or 3-2 ballgame, you know you're pitching against a potential high draft pick and it takes great maturity and great competitiveness to want to be that guy."
"I think it's about time I take that
pressure on," Czyz said. "I'm a little disappointed that it took this long to do it.

Jayhawk advances to regional while team finishes 10 in Big 12
BY JOSH BOWE

jbowe@kansan.com
After completing the 2008 Big 12 Tournament this past weekend, sophomore Emily Powers qualified for the NCAA Golf West Regional Tournament.
Each regional tournament includes 21 teams and three individuals who have qualified to compete.
Powers, who's from Quincy, Ill., has been the Jayhawk's top golfer, finishing the year with a 75.53 scoring average and playing in all 11 events this spring. She was the top Jayhawk finisher in eight tournaments this year and was second on the team in the other three. Powers also has on her résumé finishing in the top-10 in five tournaments, with her best being a second place finish at the Kitahara Inviational in Fresno, Calif.
Coach Erin O'Neil wasn't surprised by the success of Powers.
The Jayhawks as a team failed to qualify for the West Regional. They finished in 10th place at the Big 12 Championship, dashing all hopes.
in February.
"I knew coming in that she would be an impact player," O'Neil said.
With a team that lacked seniors, Powers not only raised her game on the course, but she raised her leadership skill as well by leading a young Jayhawk team.

Country singer admits to relationship with pitcher
BY JOHN GEROME ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fouled attempt
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Mindy McCready has "caught her breath" and gone back to work on a new album following her admission of a long-standing relationship with Roger Clemens, a representative for the country star said Wednesday.
"The first day was really difficult for her. She really has caught her breath," her management consultant, John Dotson, told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "She did vocals yesterday and will do vocals today.
McCready told The New York Daily News on Monday that she "cannot refute anything" in the newspaper's original report posted Sunday night on its Web site. The story said Clemens and McCready met in a Florida karaoke bar when she was a 15-year-old aspiring singer and he was a 28-year-old pitcher for the Boston Red Sox and a married father of two.
in inappropriate or improper relationship with her, said Hardin, who described McCready as a longtime friend of Clemens and his family.
"This is Roger's situation to deal with and we've come back to work," Dotson said. "We didn't go looking for this. They called us. We have a record to make and are in the middle of negotiating a deal on a reality show."
Still, the report could undermine Clemens' reputation, which is central to a defamation lawsuit he filed against former personal trainer Brian McNamee.
Citing anonymous sources, the newspaper said McCready went with Clemens to his hotel room after their first meeting, but that they did not have sex. The relationship turned intimate after she later moved to Nashville and became a country star, the paper said.
McNamee contends Clemens used performance-enhancing substances during his major league career.
The 32-year-old McCready came to Nashville in 1994 with tapes of her karaoke vocals and earned a contract with BNA Records. Two years later, her song "Guys Do It All the Time" hit No. 1 on the country charts.
At no time did Clemens engage

But her subsequent albums didn't sell as well, and she lost her record deal. Attempts to restart her career tanked.
McCready, who's currently signed to Denver-based Iconic Records, has had a string of legal and personal problems in recent years and was sentenced last September for violating probation from a 2004 drug arrest. She was released from jail Dec. 30.
Rangers
The newspaper reported that Clemens sent cash to McCready to help her with legal issues and reached out to her when she was in jail.
Dotson said McCready will be meeting with a New York-based public relations firm this week to "see what to do next."
"We want to be sure we don't inadvertently do something wrong," he said.

Fans favor Danica to win Indy 500
BY MIKE HARRIS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Danica Patrick will be among the favorites to win the Indianapolis 500 when practice officially begins Tuesday for the May 25 race.
That's not so much because of her historic first victory two weeks ago in the IRL IndyCar Series race in Japan as it is because of her feeling at home at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It's a place where Patrick has felt welcome and comfortable since she first arrived there as a 23-year-old rookie in May 2005.
"I like Indy a lot," Patrick said. "I
feel very confident there.
"But, at the same time, the place demands a little respect. It's never easy and you can't take speed for granted there. You have to really stay with the car and push it to its limit."
She became an instant sensation at the famed Brickyard by doing just that. And the fans quickly latched onto the tiny, fearless girl with the long black hair and the very fast car.
From the moment she put a wheel onto the 2.5-mile Indy oval, Patrick was quick.
Each day in practice, she was at
or near the top of the speed chart and only a bobble that nearly sent her into the wall on the first of her four qualifying laps kept Patrick from winning the pole.
Still, she kept her head, kept her foot on the gas and qualified fourth, the best that any woman had done at the speedway.
Thus began "DanicaMania," a national reaction that saw her attractive visage nearly everywhere — on TV, magazine covers, billboards and commercials.
Then, in the race, Patrick led 19 laps and survived a collision with another car to finish fourth.

COMMENTARY
Successful draft could change Chiefs' direction
The Kansas City Chiefs had a great draft. That's correct, you did not missed The
You did not misheat. The Kansas City Chiefs, the same team that drafted bucks in Ryan Sims, Trazelle Jenkins and Junior Siavii in the past, showed the other teams how successful a draft weekend could be.
This was unprecedented. It was like David Spade winning the Oscar for Best Actor, MTV coming out with meaningful television or Mike Tyson being named "humanitarian of the year". The Chiefs went into the draft as an aging team with a questionable future and fans canceling season tickets, and they left the draft with renewed optimism and talks of Super Bowl contention in three years.

Defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey, Louisiana State University, acknowledges fans after being announced as the fifth overall pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL draft Saturday in New York. ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mel Kiper Jr., a famous draft pundit, said the Chiefs had the best draft of any team the first day. The second day was not a let down,either.
The draft immediately started with success, with defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey somehow dropping to pick No. 5. Dorsey was considered by many teams to be the top prospect in the draft. Taking advantage of the other teams' ill-advised decisions, the Chiefs found the anchor of their defense for years to come. The franchise regarded the 299-pound tackle from Louisiana State University as a savior after it witnessed him over
with a 416-carry season, said goodbye to several veteran offensive linemen without having designated replacements and turned an aerial attack into an offense with the same entertainment value as an ant farm. Peterson is 19 years into a five-year plan to turn the Chiefs into contenders, and Chiefs fans have been calling for his head for years.
That all changed during the weekend. Suddenly, Edwards was a shrewd rebuilt, and Peterson was an unmatched negotiator.
come injuries to dominate at the college level. He can not only get to the quarterback himself but free up blockers for the defensive ends, which will be instrumental without the presence of All-Pro defensive end Jared Allen.
Ten picks later, Peterson saw his favorite offensive lineman still on the board. He traded up two spots with the Detroit Lions, giving up a fifth rounder and switching spots in the third, to obtain the 15th pick and use it on Branden Albert, the combo guard/tackle from Virginia. The Chiefs expect him to be the left tackle on a line that last year would have had trouble keeping a senior citizen with a cane from sacking the quarterback. In
many mock drafts, draft "experts" thought the Chiefs would pick Albert at five.
The good fortune did not end in the first round. At pick 35 in the second round, they were thrilled to see that Brandon Flowers was still on the board. Flowers, a cornerback out of Virginia Tech, was graded by the Chiefs as a first-round prospect. The Chiefs let Ty Law go this offseason after a down year, and Benny Sapp was signed by the Vikings, so there was a hole as big as the Grand Canyon in their secondary. Jayhawk fans can remember Flowers as the player who anchored the Virginia Tech defense that tested Kansas in the Orange Bowl. He will immediately be entrust to the starting role.
After the first day was over, there was not an analyst anywhere with negative things to say. Mel Kiper Jr., a famous draft pundit, said the Chiefs had the best draft of any team the first day.
The second day was not a let down, either. With three picks in the third round, the Chiefs added Texas' Jamal Charles as a backup running back to give Larry Johnson much-needed relief; Brad Cottam, a 6-foot-8 tight end out of Tennessee, to be the understudy to future Hall-of-Famer Tony Gonzalez; and Dajuan Morgan, a safety from North Carolina State who many had ranked as the second best safety in the draft. Charles ran a 4.32 second 40-yard dash and could challenge Speedy Gonzalez in a footrace. Cottam is a towering red-zone threat and Morgan is a fierce tackler.
In the next round, they added Will Franklin, who is familiar to many Jayhawk fans as a receiver from the Missouri Tigers. He should challenge Jeff Webb and Devard Darling to start opposite of last year's first rounder, Dwayne
Bowe. The rest of the draft consisted of cornerback Brandon Carr, offensive tackle Barry Richardson, wide receiver Kevin Robinson, defensive end Brian Johnston and tight end Michael Merritt — all players who should be on the roster come opening day.
The Chiefs should not expect
the playoffs this year, as they have an inexperienced team that has to adjust to NFL speed. However, with the talent amassed over the weekend, Kansas City should be competitive in all games rather than resembling a group of confused Boy Scouts who were thrown onto a football field. While they may
not experience a winning season this year, it should be entertaining to watch our talented rookies develop into potential Pro Bowlers. It has been a while since Chiefs fans could say that.

Castillo hits homer ending Giant's drought
BY JOSH DUBOW ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Jose Castillo ended a 450 at-bat homerless drought with a tiebreaking shot to lead off the seventh inning and Fred Lewis preserved the lead with a diving catch in the eighth that sent the San Francisco Giants to a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday.
Castillo's homer to left field off Ryan Speak (0-1) was his first since Aug. 14, 2006, for Pittsburgh against Milwaukee. It gave the Giants a 3-2 lead they struggled to hold onto.
With a runner on second base and two outs in the eighth inning, Willy Tavares hit a sinking line drive off Tyler Walker to left field. Lewis charged and made a headlong dive to make the catch, popping up and pumping his fist after the play. Walker was also excited with an exaggerated fist pump on the mound and pointing out at Lewis in appreciation.
Aaron Roward also homered for the Giants, who finished their homestand with a 3-3 record. Merkin Valdez (1-0) pitched 1 1-3 hitless innings to earn his first career win and Brian Wilson got three outs for his ninth save in 10 chances.
Ryan Spilborghs hit an RBI double and Garrett Atkins also drove in a run for the defending NL
champion Rockies, who have lost nine of 11 and are in need of a day off Thursday. Colorado has played for 16 straight days, going 6-10, and could be without reigning NL Rookie of the Year Troy Tulowitzki for a while.
Tulowitzki returned to Denver on Wednesday to have an MRI on his left leg. Tulowitzki injured himself fielding a ball in the first inning Tuesday and could be headed to the disabled list.
The Rockies got both of their runs in the fifth inning against Jonathan Sanchez with help from a rare bunt single by Todd Helton. After Tavares walked to lead off the frame, Helton laid a bunt down the third-base line. Catcher Steve Holm fielded the ball but his throw to first was too late to get Helton.
Tavarez scored on Atkins' one- out sacrifice fly and Spilorbos followed with an RBI double that gave Colorado a 2-1 lead. The Rockies loaded the bases but Sanchez avoided further damage by getting Jonathan Herrera on a groundout.
The Giants tied the game at 2 on Randy Winn's RBI single that knocked Ubaldo Jimenez out of the game with one out in the sixth inning. Jimenez allowed two runs and three hits in 5-13 innings.
Sanchez allowed two runs, five hits and five walks in 5 2-3 innings.

reaching the seventh inning in his last three starts.
Now, the last step for Czyz is to make his stat line more pleasing to the eye.
In 10 starts this year, Czyz has a 2-5 record, a 5.72 ERA, a 1.72:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a 1.65 WHIP. However, these numbers are exaggerated by three poor starts for Czyz. In his first two starts of the season, against Hawaii-Hilo and a ranked Vanderbilt club, and one against Northwestern, Czyz allowed 17 earned runs on 21 hits and seven walks in 10 and two-thirds innings.
But with at least three starts left in the season. Czyz is poised to take his final step to have his statistics reflect the strides he's taken.
"It just sucks for me because I had a rough start, had a couple really bad outings where it blew up my statistics." Czyz said, "but I'm looking to get that down."

Trainer takes two to Derby
Bill Mott is optimistic about his chances in Kentucky
BY RICHARD ROSENBLATT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — At least two trainers with a chance to win the Kentucky Derby on Saturday have been wearing New York Yankees caps this week — Eoin Harty and Bill Mott.
"I work for Steinbrenner, so I got mine for free," Mott boasted the other morning at Churchill Downs, the blue cap fitting snugly on his head. "It's unfortunate his horse didn't make it to the Derby this year."
Yankees' boss George Steinbrenner's Majestic Warrior won't be around Derby day, but two other Mott-trained 3-year-old colts will — Court Vision and Z Humor. Harty, who trains Colonel John but does not have
horses with Steinbrenner, said he bought his Yankees' cap.
For Mott,
two Derby
horses is heady
stuff. The Hall
of Famer with
more wins
at Churchill
Downs than
Mott has been able to join in just three times, with poor results. His best finish was eighth by Favorite Trick, the second betting choice in the field.
"It's a slightly empty feeling if you're not in it," the 54-year-old
any other trainer has never won the Derby, never been close on the rare occasions he had a horse in the race.
"I'm excited about the Derby, but I try to be realistic about the whole thing."
For nearly 30 years, Mott has watched hundreds of Derby horses parade past his barn on a path leading to the track, calling it "a great scene and nice to be part of in the years you're able to"
Mott said, "I suppose you have to wait your turn."
This could be the year, though. Court Vision, winner of the Hopeful Stakes as a 2-year-old, has been a solid performer this year.
The son of Gulch finished third in the Fountain of Youth Stakes and the Wood Memorial in his two preps, and will be ridden by Garrett Gomez, the nation's leading rider last year.
"There's a lot to like about Court Vision," said fellow Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas. "First, you've got Bill Mott and second you've got the best rider in the country on him. Neither one has a Derby, and maybe if they hold hands and do it together it might come to pass."
Z Humor comes into the Derby
BILL MOTT Trainer
off a third-place finish in the Illinois Derby. Rene Douglas has the mount.
"I feel pretty good about both horses," Mott said. "They both have pedigree that say they
should get the trip (of 1¼ miles), and Court Vision's running style certainly indicates he can."
Mott is not the most emotional trainer in the game, with a wry smile about the best reaction you'll get out of him after he wins. And he's won a lot, more than 3,700 times, including 584 at Churchill. He says he's passionate about winning, and a Derby triumph would be a thrill.
"I care," he said. "I don't like to lose. Winning and losing sort of determines your whole mood."

Whatever happens in the
"I've already been lucky enough to maybe train the best horse I'll ever train," he said, "but that doesn't mean that we're going to stop looking and hoping and try to get something as equally good. I was very lucky to have Cigar."
Mott, who lives in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., with his wife and four children, grew up around horses in South Dakota. His father was a veterinarian, and Mott owned and trained his first horse, a $320 mare named My Assets, when he was 15. He opened a public stable in 1978.
For years, Mott has trained some of the top older horses, winning the Breeders' Cup Turf with Theatrical in 1987 and Fraise in 1992, and the BC Distaff with Ajina in 1997 and Escena in 1998.
Last year, he was back in the 2-year-old business for the first time in years. Besides Steinbrenner's Kinsman Farm sending him juveniles, Zayat Stables sent him Z Humor and WinStar Farm sent him Court Vision, co-owned by IEAH Stable. He nominated 10 juveniles to the Triple Crown races, following a summer in which he won the Saratoga training title with 27 victories — 11 by his 2-year-olds capped by Majestic Humor's win in the Hopeful Stakes.
"I'm excited about the Derby, but I try to be realistic about the whole thing," he said. "We've been here before and we'll try. And if we don't succeed this year, we'll be back next year and hopefully try again."
Unbeaten in three career starts, Florida Derby winner Big Brown was stamped the 3-1 favorite for Saturday's 1¼-mile Derby after drawing the far outside No. 20 post position. Eight Belles, taking on the boys for the first time, drew the No. 5 post and was 20-1 on the morning line set by Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Big Brown's all in and so is the filly Eight Belles, a perfect combination for an intriguing 134th Kentucky Derby.

MADRID, Spain — McLaren's pursuit of F1 leader Ferrari is suddenly not just about matching the Italian team in the technology department. A violent crash at the Spanish Grand Prix has created an emotional hurdle, too.

Olvey expects the FIA to investigate how it can remove unconscious drivers more quickly. He also won't be surprised to see Kovalainen driving at Istanbul.

Bush applauds Giants
White House ceremony thanks Super Bowl winners

President Bush takes a hand off from the Super Bowl XLII most valuable player, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington on Wednesday. The president honored the Super Bowl champion New York Giants football team
BY BEN FELLER ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Add this to the lore of championship ceremonies at the White House: President Bush believes in the Jessica Simpson jinx.
Bush, a Texas guy, lauded the New York Giants on Wednesday for winning the Super Bowl. Any football championship is big to the team and its fans, but this one was all the sweeter because it required a riveting, comeback effort against the New England Patriots, who were heavily favored and had not lost all year.
The president noted that along the way the Giants vanquished a team from his home state — the Dallas Cowboys. Many Dallas fans pinned their team's surprise playoff loss not on the Giants, but on Simpson. Seems the singer-actress was accused of being a distraction to her boyfriend, Dallas quarterback Tony Romo.
Apparently, Bush bought in.
"I'm a good sport," Bush said at the South Lawn ceremony. "We're going to send Jessica Simpson to the Democrat National Convention."
Everything is political.
The Giants beat the Patriots, 17-14, in what was considered one of the biggest upsets in pro-football history.
Even Bush, an early-tobed leader
With players and coaches gathered behind him on a comfortable spring day, Bush praised
latives. "It turned out to be really one of the great, legendary football games in our nation's history," he said Wednesday.
"I'm a good sport. We're going to send Jessica Simpson to the Democrat National Convention."
PRESIDENT BUSH
stayed up late that February night to watch the Giants pull ahead and hang on.
He didn't skimp on the super-
the team for its resilience. The president gave a detailed recap of the Giants' season, from the shaky start to the road victories to the final game of the regular season, when the Giants lost to the Patriots but gained confidence.
"You won the gratitude of
your fans. The New York Giants fans love these Giants," Bush said, drawing a burst of cheers from fans in Giant blue.
Behind Bush was Giants quarterback Eli Manning, who endured enormous scrutiny in New York and emerged as the Super Bowl's Most Valuable Player.
The president, as usual, also thanked the players for their off-the-field volunteer work.
The team visited wounded troops at Walter Reed Army Medical Center earlier in the day. Some star players said that experience moved them even more than hanging out with the president at the White House.
"To see their spirit, and the way they reacted to us, was just very special," said center Shaun O'Hara. "That's going to stick with me."

No more hanging out at the casino in Monte Carlo or attending parties hosted by a prince in Dubai.
"I'm having a lot of fun," Speed said last Friday, just hours before going out and getting his first ARCA stock car victory at Kansas Speedway.
These days, Scott Speed spends down time playing video games in his motor coach or hanging out with other drivers. And
"Even outside the racing, just being back in America in general has been super easy," he said. "Everyone's been very friendly. It's been great."
"He has an understanding and feel for tires and for the car and the truck."
to win, you had to keep moving up. So it been great."
Jay Frye, Red Bull Racing's new general manager, is impressed with what he has seen from Speed, and that's why the original plan to have Speed run only the full ARCA schedule this season has been amended to include 11 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races in a Bill Dacing Race

This is "Stock Car Racing 101" for Speed, who was fired midway through last season by the Toro Rosso (Red Bull) Formula One team. But Red Bull, which helped him get to F1 as part of its driver development program, has stuck with the 25-year-old Californian, giving him the opportunity to work his way up to NASCAR's Sprint Cup series.

"He certainly has exceeded our expectations, so we've accelerated the process based on his performance to date," Frye said Tuesday in a phone interview.
He said the team was particularly impressed by a situation that came up in the truck race in March at Atlanta.
"Right off the bat in the truck race he had a tire going down," Frye said. "He immediately pitched and it was the right call. The tire wasn't going down, the wheel was loose.
"He has an understanding and feel for tires and for the car and the truck. He's very, very far along in that. ... His ability to communicate to the team what he is feeling is really, really good."

Speed has
That's OK with Speed, though because this is all a big learning process.
"We certainly had a top-10 truck, and even with all the penalties, we still ended up coming back in that same spot," Speed said. "It was a lot of good practice passing trucks out there and running with the guys at the top end of the field."
The most recent of those came Saturday night in Kansas, where he learned some NASCAR lessons.
Beyond the less glamorous surroundings, the biggest difference for Speed is driving the bulky cars and trucks, compared to the small, agile F1 cars.
"I'm not worried about winning and impressing people right now, I'm just worried about learning."
Speed has raced in five ARCA events since late last year and three truck races so far this season, finishing 10th and eighth in the last two.
"But the racing's really good and I love it. I fell in love with it right away because it's really close, you move, hit some people right away, you rub on them and (it's) just good quality racing."
"I think to drive the car fast is quite a bit easier and less stressful because the cars react a lot slower and it brings back a lot of driver feel," Speed said. "You know, there's no on-board computer here. The only decisions being made on the car are based on what you feel. And you feel a lot because the car moves around a lot. ... It's very old school."
He was given back-to-back drive-through penalties, the first for passing on the wrong (left) side on a restart and the second for speeding upon entering the

Although he says the other F1 drivers were "cool." Speed has been impressed with how much help he has gotten from the drivers on the Red Bull
"Driver wise, Mike Skinner and Brian Vickers have been really helpful," he said. "I mean, over the top. They don't hold anything back. They give me everything I need."
If Speed continues his progress, Frye said he could make at least a couple of Cup starts in 2009. But Speed insists he isn't on a strict timetable. He's just happy to be racing.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — St. Louis Cardinals left-hander Mark Mulder gave up nine runs in three 2-3 innings Wednesday in his

Salt Lake City hit three home runs off Mulder, who allowed nine hits while taking the loss for Triple-A Memphis. Seven of the runs were earned.

"I've been saying there's no hurry for him," La Russa said. "He doesn't need to come back until he's ready."
Mulder allowed four runs in five innings in his previous rehab start while pitching for Double-A Springfield, but he had been optimistic while attributing three first-inning walks to getting accustomed to a higher arm angle than he was able to reach in previous starts.
Mulder has been limited to 20 major-league starts the last two seasons because of shoulder woes. He made only three starts last year, going 0-3 with a 12.27 ERA.

Rangers move on without Avery, hope for comeback
BY IRA PODELL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — If the New York Rangers are going to pull off one of sport's biggest comebacks, they will have to do it without premier motor mouth Sean Avery.
The agitating forward will spend the next few days in the hospital after lacerating his spleen during Tuesday night's loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
News of Avery's hospitalization created quite a stir Wednesday, following a report that the 28-year-old had suffered a cardiac arrest and was not breathing when he arrived at the hospital.
"The first time I saw the news, it was really concerning," said Detroit Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom, Avery's former teammate. "I heard cardiac arrest. We
got [to practice] and heard ruptured spleen. It's still a severe injury, but sounded a lot worse."
Still, New York will be without Avery as the Rangers try to stave off elimination Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, stuck in a 3-0 series hole against Pittsburgh.
Avery was injured during Tuesday night's 5-3 loss from a hit, possibly in the first period, but played throughout the game despite worsening pain.
He took seven shifts in the first period, five in the second and seven in the third. He spent 4 minutes, 58 seconds on the ice in the final frame — only 10 seconds fewer than the first.
Rangers spokesman John Rosasco said Avery was evaluated at the arena, then rode in a car with team physician Andrew Feldman to St. Vincent's Medical Center and
walked in shortly after the game.
A CT scan revealed the lacerated spleen, the team said, and it didn't require surgery. Rosasco said Avery is expected to make a full recovery.
"He was never in a life-threatening situation," Rosasco said.
The spleen is an organ about the size of a fist on the left side of the body, behind the stomach. It helps the body fight infection and filters the blood. A person can live without a spleen, although they lose some of their ability to fight infections.
The Daily News first reported Avery had been hospitalized, quoting sources who said he was rushed to St. Vincent's Medical Center in cardiac arrest and not breathing around 3 a.m.
"Not true," Rangers coach Tom Renney said after practice. "Our.

medical were quick to react to that and did a great job. On my way home I knew that he was on his way to the hospital, and I got home before 3 a.m."

Avery's mother, Marlene, told the Toronto Sun that Avery's spleen had not ruptured, but he had internal bleeding. Michael Fagan, spokesman for St. Vincent's, said the forward was in "stable" condition.
16 RANGER
Although the Rangers know they will be without Avery as they try to extend their season, the status of centers Chris Drury and Blair Betts was unclear. Renney said Betts might have facial fractures after he was struck while blocking a shot in the second period.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Drury was hampered by a torso injury that also occurred in the middle frame.
"Outside this room I don't think there is many people who think we can turn it around." Rangers captain Jaromir Jagr said. "But what's important is that I think we do. I think because we have nothing to lose, it makes us a very dangerous team."
"We'll see how they're doing [Thursday] morning as to whether or not they can participate," Renney said.
Avery will be missed by the Rangers, 33-14-10 with him this season and 9-13-3 when he was out with injuries. He was acquired from the Los Angeles Kings in February 2007 and sparked the team's playoff run in which the Rangers went 17-6-6 in games he played.
"It's a tough loss to lose him.
Only two teams in NHL history have won a series after trailing 3-0.
— the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs in the finals versus Detroit, and the 1975 New York Islanders in the second round against Pittsburgh.

but we've got a lot of guys in here.
Guys have to step up, and we have to concentrate on the next game," forward Ryan Callahan said.
Avery had an assist on the Rangers' second goal Tuesday.
"He's an important part of our team, obviously," forward Brandon Dubsinky said. "At the same time, we have a job to do, and it starts [Thursday] night. We can't sit here feeling sorry for ourselves and being sad and having the 'poor me' thought because one of our players is out."
Avery, set to be an unrestricted free agent after this season, is known for pushing the envelope on the ice and off it.
In the Rangers' first-round victory against New Jersey, Avery frustrated Devils' goalie Martin Brodeur. The highlight came in game three when Avery planted himself in the crease with his back to the action and faceguarded the goalie.
The NHL moved the next day to forbid the activity with the so-called "Avery Rule".
Nonetheless, Brodeur was so incensed by Avery's crease crashing and trash talking that he refused to shake his hand after the Rangers' clinching victory in game five. Avery tied for the team lead with three goals in the series.

Detroit Tigers' Kenny Rogers delivers a pitch against the New York Yankees in the fifth inning of a baseball game Tuesday at Yankee Stadium in New York. The Tigers looked like all-stars at the beginning of the season, but have not lived up to that potential.
After barely a month, the major leagues are in full swing
This is the greatest time of year for all of you baseball fans out there who spend hours each night watching your hometown team on www.mlb.tb. College basketball season is over, the weather is starting to warm up and baseball season is fully underway. The Major League Baseball season is barely a month old, but there have been several surprises so far in 2008. Here's a look at some of them.
THE BAD
Detroit Tigers - On paper, the Tigers looked like they were going to walk into the World Series as the best team in baseball. But a 2-10 start, including a three-game sweep by the Royals to start the season, has the Tigers trying to figure out what's going wrong. They are playing better of late but still sit in last place in the American League Central standings. The Tigers pitching staff, which added Ace Dontrell Willis from the Marlins in the off-season, has an ERA of 4.99, which ranks 28th out of 30 teams.
BY B.J. RAINS
BJRAINS@KANSAN.COM
Barry Zito – After signing a seven year, $126-million contract before the 2007 season, Zito has turned into one of the worst pitchers in baseball. Zito is 0-5 with a 7.53 ERA this season and has been sent to the bullpen with a fastball that is barely hitting 84 miles per hour. Most of his contract was back-loaded so the Giants still owe Zito $116 million over the next five and a half years. That's a large chunk of change for a Cy Young Award winner ... but for a relief pitcher? General manager Billy Beane sure knows what he is doing in Oakland.
THE GOOD
Tampa Bay Rays – For a franchise that has never had a winning season, a winning April may be the sign of things to come for the now just Tampa Bay 'Rays'. The Devil is gone from the name and the Rays are playing like a team who might stay in the race for most of the season. After being bad for so many years, the Rays' top draft picks are finally starting to make an impact on the big league club. Evan Longoria, BJ Upton, Carl Crawford and last year's comeback player of the year Carlos Pena lead a young team that has fans including season ticket holder Dick Vitale excited about the upcoming summer of Rays baseball. And the team's best pitcher, Scott Kazmit, comes off the disabled list to make his first start of the season on Sunday.
St. Louis Cardinals – After losing Scott Rolen, Jim Edmonds and David Eckstein to trades and free agency, most thought the Cardinals would be one of the worst teams in the national league. But with the third best ERA in baseball, the Cardinals are perched atop the NL Central standings with a starting staff that nobody has heard of including Todd Wellermeyer, Braden Looper, Kyle Loshe and Joel Piniero, who make up four-fifths of the Cardinals starting rotation. But when you have Albert Pujols, the best player in baseball, you always have a chance to win no matter who you have on your team.

Cardinals surge past Reds with 5-2 victory
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Braden Looper worked six solid innings and Rick Ankiel had three hits and two RBIs, helping the St. Louis Cardinals hand Aaron Harang another tough luck loss with a 5-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday.
Aaron Miles had a pair of RBI singles and Jason Isringhausen earned his ninth save in 11 chances for the surprising Cardinals, who won a franchise-record 18 games the first month of the season. Last year's team needed 43 games to win No. 18, and the total surpassed the previous best set in 2000 and 2006.
A heavy early home schedule helped the Cardinals, who are 12-6 at 3-year-old Busch Stadium. They took two of three from the Reds and have won four of five overall.
The opening mouth also has been a good one for Looper (4-1), who allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings while throwing a career-high 114 pitches. Looper,
who moved to the rotation last year after a long career as a closer and setup man, is 7-2 with a 2.88 in 11 career first-month starts.
Ankiel was 8-for-13 with a homer and five RBIs in the series and has the go-ahead RBI in six of St. Louis' victories.
Harang (1-4) has worked at least six innings in each of his seven starts and has little to show for his 2.98 ERA because the Reds have totaled 23 runs in his outnings. He allowed three runs on seven hits in six innings.
Edwin Encarnacion hit his team-leading seventh home run for the Reds, who are 3-5 since Walt Jocketty was named general manager. Jocketty was the Cardinals' GM for 13 seasons prior to this year.
Encarnacion homered for the first time in seven games leading off the second. Left fielder Chris Duncan just missed a leaping attempt in the corner as the ball went slightly under his glove and bounced off the top of the wall. Joey Votto followed with a double and scored on Ryan Freel's two-out infield hit.

editor's note
YOU ARE MEN'S DAY
When my older sister moved away to college, my mom and I were worried we might kill each other.
Seriously.
Since before I can remember, I always got the feeling that my older sister was my mom's favorite. That's not to say she mistreated me, or even made it completely obvious, but after hearing "Why can't you be more like your sister?" a few thousand times, a kid begins to wonder.
My older sister had always acted as a kind of involuntary buffer system between my mom and me. So, as I stood waving, watching my sister drive off into the distant sunset, I feared what the next two years would be like, just my mom and me. I envisioned a lot of yelling and crying and cursing. I assumed the worst.
But, as the old saying goes, "assuming only makes an ass of you and me," or something like that.
We actually got along famously. We went to movies together, we went to dinner together, we went to parties together (thrown by her friends, not mine). But it wasn't mom overload, either. We were both busy during the day, and neither of us went out at night, so that was when we bonded. I told her about boys I liked and girls I hated, and she told me about work and whatever drama there was between her friends. She treated me like an adult, and I treated her like a best friend.
Nowadays, we're closer than ever. We talk almost every day, either on the phone or on Skype. We still fight and disagree about a lot of stuff, but we have a very honest relationship that I wouldn't give up for the world. I can't imagine it any other way.
Read Chris' story on page 15 about his relationship with his father, and the turning point at which he was finally able to accept his father for who he was.

"I've often had cell phone conversations going on during class," Barnett says."I took a cell phone away from one girl and she seemed so surprised.That's always unpleasant."
Despite such uneasiness, Barnett, who teaches Media and Society in Budig 110,says there are perks to teaching such a big class. Because students often feel anonymous, they offer better feedback about what works, what doesn't
Barnett says teaching a large class gets better with time, though She first taught the class five years ago, and at that point, she says she hated it and thought, "It isn't teaching, it's herding." But after her first semester, she took workshops and learned how to better interact with students.

Coming to America
A grueling process stands between immigrants and U.S. citizenship
By Chris Bell cbell@kansan.com
Citizenship is something many of us take for granted. The rights to vote or to obtain a U.S. passport are guaranteed to us when we are born. We don't have to work for it like some people do. International students and other immigrants looking to become permanent residents or citizens have to cut through a forest of red tape to apply, and sometimes must spend years playing the waiting game with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Ebenezer Obadare, assistant professor of sociology and a native of Nigeria, works at the University on an H1-B visa, which he received when he arrived in the United States. According to the USCIS Web site, H1-B visas are reserved for those employed in "specialty occupations," or jobs that require formal
"You wonder why, in a country like this, you couldn't make the process more humane." Obadare says.
According to Lauren Reinhold, a Lawrence immigration attorney, Obadare was lucky just to receive an H1-B visa. Reinhold says the U.S. government gives out only 65,000 H1-B visas each year. While that seems like a lot, Reinhold says that in 2007 more than 133,000 applications for H1-B visas were submitted within two days of becoming available. In addition, she says the U.S. government gives out 20,000 other H1-B visas to those with master's degrees or above, a category that Obadare falls into because he has a Ph.D.

The process doesn't get any easier after obtaining an H1-B visa. Reinhold says people seeking green cards, which grant the holder lawful permanent residence, face a wait of up to four

education or experience.
Grant Huang, St. Louis senior and a native of Taiwan, holds his certificate of naturalization. The document is issued by the U.S. government, and certifies that Huang obtained citizenship legally.
Obadare has spent the last year and a half waiting on his petition to become a permanent resident. He likens the process to chasing the bureaucracy. He says that once he submitted his application, he was assigned a registration number that allowed him to monitor the process online. After that, he says that USCIS does numerous background checks, which slow the process down.
"There's nothing you can do about it," Obadare says. Any attempts Obadare makes to speed the process up are met with resistance, as well. All phone calls are answered by a machine, which does little to actually answer questions. Obadare says he understands that the United States has become much more security-conscious the past few years, but he can't help but feel frustrated by the process.
years, even those with high-level or specialty degrees. After that, there's the application for full citizenship, which can take another year.
Grant Huang, St. Louis senior, received his citizenship two years ago. He has been a permanent resident of the United States since he came to the country at the age of 12 from Taiwan. Huang says the process took a year, and involved multiple trips back to his hometown of St. Louis—where he started the process—for interviews and fingerprints. Huang says the benefits are worth it. Before gaining citizenship, any international travel required temporary visas that cost him time and money. Now, with his U.S. passport, Huang says international travel is a lot cheaper and easier.
International students interested in remaining in the United States after graduation should start preparing
early, Reinhold says. She recommends they seek out an immigration attorney during their freshman year, preferably one who is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Reinhold also suggests that these students get their degrees in technical fields, which would make the H1-B visa
application easier. She advises students to seek additional assistance from the International Student & Scholar Services office on campus as well. Students closer to graduation can also choose to continue their educations, or seek employers that will sponsor them for an HI-B visa. Reinhold says the No.
I thing students must do is be prepared and always have a backup plan.
The path to U.S. citizenship is a long and difficult process for immigrants, and while there isn't much that can speed it up, working with the right people and planning ahead can make the burden a little easier to bear.

NAKATIONS
Are you worried that last year's swimsuit will be out of season on your beach vacation this summer? Do you find yourself sitting on your luggage in order to zip up your bag? Well, fear not, because you can now travel without a single fashion worry thanks to Naked Vacations.
That's right; traveling in the nude.The buff. Buttnaked.
Naked Vacations, or "Nakations," as they're called by the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR), based in Kissimmee, Fla., are no longer simply for hippies reliving their glory days. Instead, they're becoming part of luxury travel.According to AANR, nude travel has grown into a $400 million worldwide industry.
"The relaxation on nakations is phenomenal," says Carolyn Hawkins, AANR public relations coordinator. "When you shed your clothes, you shed your stress. We have a tendency to be judgmental. If you're at a nudist resort, you don't get to know how much money people make. You know them from the heart, who they truly are."
OssiUrlaub, an online German travel agency, has announced an all-nude flight between Erfurt in
Some luxury cruise lines, upscale hotels, resorts and even airlines are offering vacation options that aim to pamper these free-spirited guests. The Hidden Beach Resort near Cancun offers oceanfront suites with rose petals on the bed, and even serve champagne to those who prefer to be au natural. The resort, with rates beginning at $215 per person per night, offers nude dining, nude bars and even a nude disco.

Closer to home, naturalists can enjoy all-nude relaxation at the Sea Mountain Inn in Desert Hot Springs. Calif. The spa resort offers both day-spa and overnight options.

The 11th Hour Review
If modern environmentalism isn't dead, it should be.
Environmentalism today means changing to compact fluorescent light bulbs, signing a petition here or there and generally being dissatisfied with the government's lethargic pace on environmental protection.
PRODUCED & NARRATED BY LEONARDO DI CAPRIO
THE 11TH HOUR
TURN MANKIND'S DARKEST HOUR INTO ITS FINEST
Environmentalists say they want to move beyond the status quo—our biggest enemy, responsible for inefficient homes, gas-guzzling automobiles and clothing made in countries we can't even locate on a map.
But even so-called environmentalists still abide by the status quo.We still get our power from coal. We still drive,We still buy clothes made in the Philippines.
And an unlikely candidate, Titanic-babe Leonardo DiCaprio, is sinking with the environmentalism ship, as well.
Riding in on the Four Horsemen of the Environmental Apocalypse,
DiCaprio's recently released documentary, The 11th Hour, rehashes the environmental movement's newest catch phrases about melting ice caps, deforestation and sustainability.
Fortunately, I don't think he mentioned accomplishing anything outrageous by 2050, the politicians' favorite year.
But the documentary is a stark reminder that the environmental movement is failing. We can answer almost all of the questions thrown at us: How much carbon dioxide is in the atmosphere? How much warmer is the planet? What is causing this?
But we still can't answer the public's most important question: So what? Why should I change my everyday life?
The I lth Hour is the noblest attempt so far at posing this question. From opening images of a human fetus to talking heads reminding us that people depend on nature for survival, the documentary attempts to connect the dots that string mankind back to the natural world.
Unfortunately, this string gets tangled up in the whirlwind of interview subjects—Leo brings on 55 guests in 91 minutes, and they try to cover every environmental topic under the sun.
And, like the rest of the environmentalists, they forget the most important: relevance.
How are the effects of Hurricane Katrina applicable to the general population? Why should we care if Arctic ice melts away?
It's tough to relate, and it took me a long time. But I don't buy locally grown food because I'm worried about the polar bears. I buy it because I'm worried about myself.
Documentaries and news stories should change the approach they take when covering climate change. Instead of filling the public mind with lofty facts and figures about corn subsidies and the environmental consequences of ethanol, they should be telling people about why the price of food and beer is increasing, how it is going to drain their bank accounts, and only later connect these personal problems to the larger picture.
From its title, The 1 I th Hour is obviously a gloom-and-doom, "with this big of a carbon footprint, I should kick my own ass" type of film. At the end, Leo, barely saving the audience from wanting to drive off a cliff in a Prius, concludes with as much optimism he can muster.
But that optimism isn't going to make humankind feel anything if we can't connect the dots between the individual and the planet.
Until environmentalists can reframe their argument and make the environment relevant to the general public, it will be our movement's 11th hour.

There's no business like LARP business
After a weekend of LARPing, I decided to investigate the development of a LARP so I delved into the womb of a baby LARP.
Society in Shadows is a LARP-in-progress, developed by KU graduate student Jen Decker and her company, Six Stones. I visited Decker's business while she and her staff were preparing for the Midwest Area Gaming Enthusiast (MAGE) convention (or "con," in gamer lingo) that took place April 25 through 27 in Sioux City, Iowa.
Jen operates Six Stones out of her house. She has a comfortable set-up. The staff works from TV trays while sitting in armchairs in her living room.Eight of the 13 regular staff members were present, but the house seemed even cozier because of the five cats and the large, roaming black dog.
Some of the staffers were preparing materials like player handbooks and props that will be used at the con. Others were writing the plot that will serve as the storyline of the game.
"One thing about making a game is that you have to generate an entire world and political structure. When you're trying to cover the basis of people's imagination, that's quite a task," says Vanessa Ren, Six Stones staff member and KU Medical Center student.
Decker has been running and developing the game for 13 years.She usually hosts four events a year. Each event is a chance to test new rules and further develop the game.Eventually, Decker and her staff plan to publish a finalized version of the game in the form of a book that describes background rules and powers,and how to play.
"This is a creative outlet," says Six Stones staffer Robert Ren. "But in the end, we are trying to make something a finished product that we can put on the shelves, that we can have published, that we can have people buying that haven't been to our conventions before. It's a combination of wanting to succeed at business, and creating something that's lasting."
Society in Shadows players don't pretend they are in a different world, like in NERO.The game takes place in present day in the present locationwhich usually happens to be a con.This is where the game gets its name.The gamers play supernaturals interacting as a society in the shadows of the human world.

impeccable swordsmanship.
I am in the heart of Spider Wood in the central region of the continent of Avalon in the world of Tyrra. I am a young, jaded holbing named Elmore Hawkborne.
In reality, I am at a YMCA compound called Camp Hammond in Berryton, which is located almost directly between Lawrence and Topeka. I am three hours into my first live-action role-play (LARP) experience.
What the LARP?
LARP is gaming on steroids. Or maybe acid. Or maybe just good old imagination. LARPs come in all forms. Grown up or otherwise, LARPs have emerged
forms and sizes. Groups have organized
science fiction LARPs, horror LARPs.
military-based LARPs, fantasy LARPs. You name the literary genre, and there's probably a LARP for it. Some LARPs' fight dragons, and some zap aliens in a dystopian cyberpunk future world.
Almost everyone has LARPed at some point in his or her life. But most people stop once they hit puberty and find themselves incapable of playing make-believe—either because of creative restraints or social inhibitions.
The LARP I participated in is fantasy-based It is a game called NERO. Find a cauldron; throw in improvisational theater, Dungeons and Dragons, a couple J.R.R. Tolkien novels and fake weapons; boil and stir and you will cook up a steaming crock of NERO.
NERO (New England Role-playing Organization) was founded in Boston in 1989. It is one of the oldest, most established LARP organizations in existence. Now NERO has about 50 chapters all across America. These chapters host gatherings, usually monthly, at which players come, dress up and play an extraordinarily convoluted game.
A character is born
After a 17-mile drive, I see the dilapidated "Camp Hammond" sign. I pass under the wooden threshold and know that there is no turning back now.I'm extremely nervous.After all, I haven't fought with foam weapons since the days when NERF commercials ruled the Nickelodeon airwaves.
I continue on a gravel road until I come to a well-lit cabin. Inside the lodge, aquariums filled with reptiles line the walls. I see piles of Ranger Rick magazines and camping supplies scattered about. A man sits behind a desk with a laptop and a portable printer. It's obvious he has set up a makeshift headquarters in this room. He introduces himself Joe Bearden.
Bearden, Lawrence graduate student, is the mind behind the Kansas chapter of NERO, called NERO
Central. He founded the chapter two years ago. Bearden has officially been LARPing for 17 years, but he says his first true LARP experience was playing "cowboys and Indians" when he was a child.
Bearden stands up to welcome me. He is tall, with a handlebar mustache and long, curly hair. His overall appearance and stature make him seem as if he would be just as comfortable in a fantastical archaic world as he is in this one.
I sign a liability waiver, and he sets me up with a character. We decide I will be a hobling because I fit the description well.According to the NERO Rule Book,"Hoblings are peaceful people and generally are smaller than average. They have furry feet and hands, as well as bushy sideburns and eyebrows."Bearden decides I am from the Hawk tribe.This also seems to be an appropriate role because Hawks are known as storytellers.
Players usually come with their own outfits, but I am a special case. Bearden puts together a costume for me. He dresses me in layers of earth-tone tunics, vests, rope and feathers. He gives me a bone-shaped mace as my weapon. It's made of PVC pipe, foam and duct tape, like all the other players' weapons. These weapons, called "boffers," are made for safe playing.
Bearden takes me outside and gives me a brief overview of combat technique and rules. We hold a mock battle and he teaches me the ways of combat.
Each of my strikes are worth two "normal" points. So every time I hit someone, I must shout "two normal" or the hit won't count. The players deduct points each time I hit them. This seems like a simple enough idea, but it requires spontaneous calculations that my collegiate education has not prepared me for.
Nevertheless, I am ready for battle. At least, that's what I tell Bearden. But I soon discover that fighting is only one component of this game.
All the camp's a stage
I am directed to another cabin, and just as I enter, the game begins and the fear sets in.
The room is dark, only faintly lit by lamp lights that encircle an urn in the corner. I see framed drawings on the walls that portray whimsical creatures and fictional, weathered maps. The table in the center of the room is covered in fake ivy, feathers, gobbles and plastic bones that you might find at a head shop. People are wearing face paint and elf ears. Horns are protruding from foreheads.
I am so freaking out right now.
Suddenly I realize why there is a strict "no drug or alcohol" policy.
Bad Shark of the Deathcafter tribe (Phil Layman) sits down in front of me and asks me if my people stand by the Deathcafter or the Earth tribe.
I panic.
I'm going to ruin the story. Deathcraft, Earth, Deathcrafter, Earth. Which do my people stand by?
He is a member of the Deathcrafters. He is scary, dressed in black from head-to-toe, and he is undead. I cave and tell him that my people support the Deathcrafters.
"Really I was under the impression that the Hawks supported the Earth," says Bad Shark, staring at me witt

cold, beady eyes.
Shit.
Then a gypsy pulls me aside. He realizes that I am young and impressionable. He introduces himself as Captain Alec Alberdeen (John Kildare). He wears a red and black outfit. He has a fake Russian accent and the showmanship of a used car salesman. He tries to convince me to join the Bloodguard—a group of adventurers who band together, saving others for a fee. He wants to recruit enough members to fight the undead of Numenando, a bewitched neighboring town. I tell him I am just passing through, but I will consider the offer.
At this point, I realize that NERO is not just a game where people dress up in costumes and play with fake swords. This is a theatrical event that involves strategy and politics.
I am thoroughly entranced, observing these
relationships develop. Suddenly, Bearmark of the Earth tribe (Larisa Hines) enters the cabin, beating on a bongo drum. She announces the commencement of the Birth of the Year Festival.
"We'd like to thank our ancestors, who are full of life," Bearmark says.
Beats drum.
"They guide us, they teach us, they help us.
We must welcome the elders.

We feast on meatballs, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies and animal crackers.
A gypsy prince named Buxtehude (Dale Gilliante) offers me an "intoxicated." I say no at first, but he seems offended.
"You don't want intoxicant?" Buxtehude asks sternly.
I grab a clear plastic Solo cup from a nearby pile, and he pours me a glass of green tea from his bottle. He tells me he has traveled here from another land, searching for a white Gryphon who saved his family.
I realize it is after midnight and I have yet to see a lick of battle. Watching the spectacle of character interaction is fascinating, but I know too little and have too few powers to participate in the power trading and political conversing.
Excluding me, 15 players participated in the weekend activities. In more favorable weather, NERO Central usually has around 30 participants. But some LARP events draw in thousands of players.
I look around and realize that I have been sitting in a dark room for more than two hours with people who have not once broken character. To my left sits a 15-year-old boy with horns. To my right sits a middle-aged man dressed as a gypsy prince. As soon as the two begin trading powers, I hear a cry for help outside of the cabin.
Be all that you can't be
Everyone runs outside into the rain, weapons in hand. We go forth to slaughter an eight-legged monster that had attacked one of our companions. This was the first of many battles to come.
in the woods with long red capes, brandishing PVC swords, throwing bean bags at each other and yelling 'lightning bolt', you have reason to be afraid of it because you don't know what it is," says Dr.J. Patrick Williams, sociologist and editor of Gaming as Culture; Essays in Reality, Identity and Experience in Fantasy Games. Williams has extensively researched gaming cultures and fantasy gaming, and says LARPing provokes an unnecessary negative bias.
"Look at the people that paint their faces, or paint letters on their chest and to go topless at sports events." Williams says. "From a certain perspective, that's pretty freaky, but since they're fans of mainstream sports, they're not seen as troubled or deviant."
Flight of the Kobolds
It's 3 p.m. Saturday—the second day of NERO. Last night's activities didn't wind down until around 6 a.m., so the group has gotten a late start. We are on our second adventure of the day, searching for a cave filled with Kobolds—evil, menacing, reptilian gobiloids.
A flock of Kobolds flies out from the woods, quickly approaching us from behind.The mob of crimson-dressed figures is especially alarming when they emerge from the washed-out colors of a winter-struck forest.
I see them first and shout to the rest of my bloodthirsty comrades.
"Look. Running. Red. Things," I yelp heroically.
The men, draped in red cloth, flap their arms and make high-pitched "skwa" sounds, taunting us, encouraging us to attack.
My crew slaughters the Kobolds. We move on, triumphant.
No more than two minutes later; we meet another onslaught of demon birds. I decide to
"If you're stuck in a cubicle all week, on the weekend you get to be the knight in shining armor that slays the dragon and gets the girl, and you don't have to worry about the cover sheet on your TPS report."
Larisa Hines, NERO Central staff member and host of larppodcast.com
Many LARPers are just looking to escape from the routine normality of everyday life.This is summed up in NERO's motto:"Be all that you can't be."
The LARP community has spawned an "annual" LARPy Awards Show (even though there have only been two and they were more than a year apart), LARP magazine, and a LARP museum.All these are testaments to the LARP following.
"If you're stuck in a cubicle all week, on the weekend you get to be the knight in shining armor that slays the dragon and gets the girl, and you don't have to worry about the cover sheet on your TPS report," Hines says. In addition to playing the character of Bearmark, Hines is a NERO Central staff member and host for www.larppodcast.com.
However, it's not always easy to balance one's LARP life with real life. LARPing may sound unusual to people who have never heard of the activity. Hines says that since her boss started asking her to work on Saturdays, she has to choose her wording carefully when explaining why she can't work some weekends."I told him that I volunteer at a camp to teach creative problem solving, team-building skills and conflict resolution." Hines says.
Hines is not alone. LARP is far from accepted in mainstream culture, forcing LARPers to keep their hobby inside the cave.
"If you go to a public place and you see people
All of these assaults are actually brought on by the same group of men. Each time we attack them, they wait awhile, then move farther down the path to attack us again. I find this more frustrating than entertaining. The pests just won't die. The rest of the clan does not seem to mind. We lose a couple of good men to a laughing spell that renders them giddy and useless. One war-torn fighter must be carried back to camp.
Bearmark, who had stayed at camp to prepare lunch, warmly welcomes me back. "How was your adventure?" she asks.
Or at least that's how I'd like to think it went.
And I try to think of the last time that I was outside and wasn't walking to campus, cursing the weather. I try to think of the last time I experienced the unparalleled stress relief of beating the shit out of something. I try and think of the last time I even attempted to grease the rusty wheels of my imagination.
step forward and prove myself. I come upon an especially large one. I swing to the right, but my mace is blocked by a red saber. I swing to the left. Blocked again. The bastard creature strikes and hits me. Fortunately, I am wearing strong armor. I lunge forward, thrusting my mace against the beast's shoulder, knocking off its arm and leaving it to drown in a puddle of its own blood.
"It really wasn't such a bad adventure," I reply.

Q&A
with Lisa Loeb

GARDEN CITY
Lisa Loeb
Most people remember Lisa Loeb for her 1994 No.1 single, "Stay (I Missed You)." As a 26-year-old unsigned artist, Loeb quickly made a name for herself with the song, which was featured on the soundtrack for the movie Reality Bites. Loeb has since made various career moves, including appearing on the reality TV show No.1 Single. The show aired in spring 2006 on E!, and was about Loeb's search for love in New York City. Loeb's latest project is an album of children's songs called Camp Lisa, which will be released on June 3.
If you could see anyone in concert, dead or alive, who would it be?
Jimi Hendrix. I just heard that he was a magical guitar player and, from what footage I've seen, I want to see that in real life.
We've heard you love to cook. What is your favorite meal to make for yourself? I like petan-crusted salmon and beet salad and roasted brussel sprouts. That sounds so gross, but it's delicious.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
When people make that crinkly sound with snack bags that chips come in, especially when women with really long nails do it on the subway.
What kind of music do you listen to?
I listen to a lot of Led Zeppelin, and just classic rock.
I also really like more underground music, which seems to be getting more popular now.
You were on the show No. I Single. What did you like about doing it?
I enjoyed the creators and the production side of the show, such as deciding where we were going to shoot and what situations would be on camera. I thought the show told a story that people could relate to, and it represented me well. I also liked representing a sector of the community, women in particular, that seems to be left out of reality television.
How do you think the show affected your career?
I definitely had more exposure to the general public, and people became more aware of me if they hadn't heard of me in awhile. It also gave me more flexibility
and personal freedom as a singer, because I think it gave a more well-rounded presentation of myself. Too often, people have known me for my quiet acoustics, and now they can see a broader side of me.
Who inspires you?
Natalie Goldberg. She's a writing teacher who inspires me because she encourages people to just write and not edit yourself. This is something that I didn't learn growing up, and it has been helpful advice.
Why did you decide to write music for kids?
This is my second children's album, but this one has camp songs because those were my favorite songs when I was a kid. Kids music made a big impact on me when I was young, and because I have nieces, I wanted to make music for them that they could relate to. I also just wanted to be up for the challenge.
What things do you write about now that you wouldn't have 20 years ago?
The biggest difference is that I liked music that was abstract when I was younger. I never knew what people were talking about and I thought that was a strength in their writing. Now, I like to write songs that are more straightforward. It's hard to look at things the way they really are, but I think that challenge to be honest has made my music better and easier to relate to.
I'm excited, because I don't really feel old. I feel wise and have more perspective, but it feels surprisingly normal. I thought my life would be settled and put into this neat package by now, but it's the same.I'm still driven, just less hyper.
You turned 40 in March. How do you feel about this milestone?
this weekend
I see him every once in awhile, but we don't hang out now or anything. He was really supportive and helpful back then, though. When he directed my video for "Stay," it helped put a lot of attention on the video.
Ethan Hawke had a big influence on your career in the '90s. Do you ever see him these days?

SPENCER ARTS FESTIVAL
MUSEUM OF ART
Head to the Spencer Museum of Art, 1301 Mississippi St., this Saturday between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. for its first Arts Festival. The event will feature live music, live arts performance pieces and an art sale on the museum's front lawn. Attendees can also help create a painting installation and practice unique painting methods, such as painting with their feet. More activities will be held inside the museum, such as additional craft activities and face painting. Megan Turner, Oathe senior and president of the Spencer Museum of Art
Student Advisory Board, says the committee wanted to make the event something everyone in the community would enjoy." There will be a nice collection and examples of art from not only on the KU campus, but also artists in the Lawrence community," Turner says. "We thought this was something lacking on campus, and it's an opportunity for people to get a feel of what's happening art-wise right now."

Household health
Staying healthy is as easy as keeping clean
By Jeff Briscoe
jbriscoe@kansan.com
Michael Sanders spent weeks this past winter living at friends' houses. He would only go back to his apartment to grab new clothes, all the while covering his mouth and holding his breath. For months, the Topeka senior had been coughing and having trouble breathing. He suspected it was from the clearly visible mold growing in his bathroom.
College living often presents such health concerns. Experts say the problems are often of students' own making and can be quickly fixed. jeffrey May, author of My House is Killing Me! The Home Guide for Families with Allergies and Asthma, says living with dust and mold is a bigger problem than people realize. May specializes in pinpointing the causes of people's household misery and then cleaning them up.
"Some people have neurological problems or headaches, or their sinuses react when they get a headache." May says. "Few doctors are clued into the problem. Often, clients clean up the house and get better."
May says not having circulating air in a room can be problematic, noting that window units often don't have good filters that can clean potential hazardous allergens and mold spores from
dust, allergens and mold that might cause respiratory problems. May says. While thin carpet is better than thicker, shaggier carpet, both carry residue from everyone and everything that has lived on them. May suggests using a steam vapor machine to clean your carpet. The machine produces pure

a soft
steam that can wipe away dust and kill anything else that might be causing problems.
Other likely household sources of mold and allergens are sofas, chairs and beds. May says he had a client who only needed to get rid of one piece of furniture to rid himself of a chronic cough that had been plaguing him.

circulating back through the room.Sanders plans on moving out after this semester, leaving his mold to someone else.
Besides mold causing you health problems, bacteria can also be dangerously prevalent in the apartments and dorms of college students. Bill Picking, professor of biosciences at the University, says clean living is especially important in communal living areas.With so many people creating a mess in dorms or apartment complexes,the amount of food for bacteria to grow on increases.
Picking says we live around bacteria all the time, and only very little of it is pathogenic, a big word meaning "it's bad for you." Staying away from such bacteria means cleaning dishes and not letting food pile up so bacteria can grow on it.
Still, even if you do have dangerous bacteria growing in your living area, Picking says direct contact is necessary for illness. Dish rags used to clean areas where raw meat has touched should be immediately washed. Picking suggests using bleach and hot water to ensure you are safe. Rags can pick up bacteria everywhere they touch and spread it just as easily.Washing your rags frequently can reduce the risk of spreading nasty bacteria when
you think you are really cleaning.
Perhaps more disgusting. Picking says every time we flush a toilet, an aerosol of fecal matter gets released into the air and the bacteria released can cause diarrhea.
Still, he says, the kitchen is probably more dangerous, because bacteria has more of a chance of making direct contact with you or being ingested.
Just because flu season has ended doesn't mean college living has suddenly become safe again, so stay healthy by staying clean.

good for you/ health bad for you OPEN CONTAINERS
AIR BASE
After drinking half a can of pop and eating half a bowl of food, you decide to save the rest of your meal for later. You will probably put your leftovers in the refrigerator until you want them again. However, if you don't cover the can and the bowl, you might come back to a meal that contains more than you bargained for.
Annalbe Hecht, author of The Unwelcome Dinner Guest: Preventing Food-Borne Illness, says that keeping open containers in your fridge can produce a lot of bacteria within the food. Cross-contamination can occur between foods that have not been covered, meaning that one container
ACID FAT & MILK
may harbor several kinds of bacteria that it picked up from other open containers in your fridge. One bacterium can multiply into four million bacteria in fewer than eight hours given the right conditions, Hecht says. Because of the cold temperature, bacteria grow at a slower rate in refrigerators, but last night's dinner can easily have more than one million new ingredients by dinnertime today if it's left in an open container. If you eat or drink anything that has been left open and has a large amount of bacteria in it, you have a good chance of becoming sick, Hecht says. She recommends keeping all containers, both food and beverage, sealed tightly in your fridge. She also says it's good to have air circulating inside your fridge, so don't pack containers in too close together.
Not only will covering your containers keep you from getting sick, but it will also keep your refrigerator lasting longer. Open beverages increase the amount of moisture deposited onto the cooling coil in your fridge, says Donald Grummet, author of Steps to Help Refrigerators Live Longer. Grummet says the extra moisture can cause the compressor in your fridge to run about four hours longer than it normally would each day. If your compressor works harder than it's supposed to, it stops working much sooner than expected.
So, keep your body and your fridge healthy: Cover those containers.

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay
Harold and Kumar are back, only this time they aren't after a fast-food craving, but are trying to break free from Guantanamo Bay and prove their innocence. Picking up a mere five minutes after its predecessor, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay finds the duo traveling to Amsterdam to follow Harold's dream girl, Maria, when the guys are mistaken for terrorists on the airplane and sent to Guantanamo Bay.
Harold and Kumar manage to escape the prison, and find themselves trying to get to Texas, as Harold believes Kumar's ex-girlfriend's fiance—whose father works with the president—can bail them out, while Kumar is plotting to win back his ex.
Along the way, the boys crash a Ku Klux Klan meeting, meet an inbred family, and even manage to smoke weed with none other than President Bush.

MEETING OF THE MINDS
Jimmy and his family
ARINE SURVEY OC
I used to hate my father for becoming a pastor,but now I admire him
Everyone always says I look exactly like my father. Don't get me wrong, I'll be glad to have a full head of hair when I hit my 60s, especially because all the other men in the Bell family lost their decades ago. Still, I always used to take comparisons to my father as insults, because for a long time I couldn't stand him.
I was in second grade when my father decided to quit his full-time job and follow a call to the ministry. I would like to say I was supportive of his decision to follow the path that was best for him, but at the time I was anything but. I was a selfish little second grader who had never wanted for anything, and now I was being forced to leave behind the spoiled city-boy lifestyle that I knew to follow my dad into uncharted territory.
Top: Chris' extended family, including his three half-siblings and their spouses and kids. His parents are in the back, with his dad in his dress robes that he wears for baptisms, weddings and the like. Bottom: Chris and his father in third grade.
During a period of four years, we moved three times, going from Texas to Kentucky to Indiana, and finally to Kansas. Every time we moved, I had to leave behind all the friends I'd made and start over, and even though I'd come to appreciate what my father was doing, that selfish little kid inside me still resented him for it.
Upon reaching Kansas, we finally settled down. We lived in Kinsley, a little town in western Kansas that's about as far from the rest of the world as you can get.And so that little town became my world from sixth grade all the way through high school.We hadn't been there long when my mother insisted that we stay until I finished high school, despite the fact that the United Methodists like to move their pastors around every two years or so.Thankfully, the members of the Kinsley United Methodist Church liked my dad enough to keep him around until I graduated high school.
Church became another wedge between my father and me. As a pastor, his entire life was wrapped up in the church, and I remember plenty of family visits.
many dimers and other plans that were scrapped because of some church committee meeting. Mom tried to be understanding, but many times she couldn't hide her irritation. Dad was always apologetic, but that never seemed to bring about any changes in scheduling.
It didn't help that both of my parents complained about these constant committee meetings. I became a cynic about all matters relating to the church. I'd been raised to see the church as
1
a house of God, existing only to praise his name and do his works. Instead, I saw a bureaucratic monster, driven by a few old idols who were so caught up in "tradition" that they couldn't be made to understand reason. I wanted nothing to do with the church after that, but my parents still forced me to attend all the way through high school. I hated the church for being everything it wasn't supposed to be, and I despised the idea that my father was wrapped up in all of it.
Throughout middle school and high school, I spent as little time with my father as I could. We
By Chris Bell
had very different interests, so it wasn't that difficult. He loved to go out and play golf, while I preferred to sit at home and play HalfLife or Final Fantasy. He enjoyed watching sports, attending almost every high school football or basketball game. I wanted to be out with my friends, cruising around town with the car stereo blaring The Offspring or Linkin Park at dangerous, and most likely illegal, levels.
The only passion that we shared was our love of music, but our tastes in music were completely opposite. Well, my father didn't like most of the music I listened to, and I wouldn't admit to liking all the classic rock he did. And even then, our approach to music was completely different. He loved to
perform in front of people, often playing guitar and singing at church. I preferred to lock myself up in my room when no one was home and sing along with my stereo, completely avoiding the public eye. I wasn't comfortable with the idea of singing in front of other people, and I was envious of my father because he could do it without a second thought.
While in high school, I started talking to my father. The church was a block away from the school and was
almost always stocked with pop, so I would walk or drive over after school. I didn't go often, as I typically avoided spending time with my father, but the free pop forced my hand. Usually, we just played foosball and talked about school and work, but eventually I started asking questions about things I would hear on the news or at school. It started with the creationism vs. evolution debate, which I thought was ridiculous. I'd always believed that the two ideas complemented each other, but people on both sides of the issue were too stubborn to accept it. Of course, with his involvement in the
church. I expected my dad to take the stereotypical conservative Christian standpoint on the side of creationism. In all honesty, I didn't care about the issue. I was just looking to prove my dad wrong.
The conversation was awkward for me at first, as my conversations with my father were usually confined to the general afternoon banter of "How was your day?" I remember arguing my point so forcefully that I was almost daring him to contradict me. Instead, my dad just leaned back in his chair and explained calmly to me that he agreed, and that he thought the people making such a huge fuss about the issue were giving Christians a bad image. I almost tried to argue with him, because I'd been so
sure he would disagree with me.
I continue to have these little debates with my dad. We don't see eye to eye on every issue, but he is always willing to listen and discuss my point of view, even when he completely disagrees with it. We may be opposites in many respects, but I discovered that my dad is just like me in more ways than I'd ever realized. We think alike. We have a very logical way of looking at things and we deal with them in a sequential manner; but all of our decisions are tempered by emotion. And today, the one thing that made me resent him for so long is the reason I look up to him the most: He followed the path that was right for him.

A question of identity
Comanche Nation says professor shouldn't benefit from unsubstantiated heritage
The Comanche Nation has disputed the claims of a KU professor that he is a Comanche Indian, and accused him of benefiting professionally and financially from his unconfirmed ethnicity.
Ray Pterotti, associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology who also teaches in the indigenous nations studies program, told The University Daily Kansan in an e-mail that he has never identified himself as an officially enrolled member of the tribe. However, he has claimed to be Comanche in numerous public forums and in a federal discrimination lawsuit he and his wife, Cynthia Annett, filed against the University of Kansas.
While Ray Pierotti acknowledges he is not an enrolled Comanche, he claims Comanche ethnicity, which has a role in
University hiring and personnel matters.
University hiring and Although at one time being an ethnic minority could result in discrimination, today it can be an attractive asset to job applicants as universities seek to increase diversity among faculty and staff. The University keeps track of the ethnic makeup of faculty, but
Pierotti
equal-opportunity officers said faculty and applicants identified their own ethnicity and the university, unlike tribal authorities, did not require them to provide evidence. Racial and ethnic identity have long been contentious issues. The issue has become more prevalent since equal opportunity
laws have passed and Americans have been asked to identify their racial and ethnic backgrounds more frequently.
Pierotti, who said in an e-mail that he was not teaching this semester because he was on "bereavement-related Family Medical Leave," declined repeated requests by The Kansan to discuss his ethnicity or the allegations that have been raised against him. One of his brothers, David Pierotti, said in a telephone interview from his home in California that their mother told him that her mother was a Comanche from Oklahoma. However, another brother, Nick Pierotti, and an uncle and cousin said that Pierotti's great-grandparents on their mother's side were Polish and immigrated to the United States from Europe.
Comanche Nation officials have sent
two letters to KU administrators, the latest to the Chancellor's Office in January, informing the University that Pierotti was not an enrolled member of the Comanche Nation. In the January letter, they asked the University to post disclaimers on publications or Web sites that identify Pierotti as Comanche. Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost Richard Lariviere declined requests for interviews to discuss Pierotti's claims or the Comanche Nation letters.
Students of Pierotti's said that he had been a great mentor who had gone out of his way to help them and had brought an Indigenous perspective to the science curriculum. Clouding the debate are claims by David and Ray Pierotti that a family dispute over the care of their late father, who died in October, motivated their brother Nick
to send an e-mail alleging that Ray Pierotti is not ethnic Comanche as he claims to be. The e-mail was sent in late October to people in several departments at KU including The Kansan and to offices of several other Native American Studies departments and tribal organizations across the United States.
Official enrollment in a tribe is controlled by tribal governments, who see it as their sovereign right to determine their own members. Enrollment typically requires proof of a percentage of Native blood and can carry with it tribal voting rights, access to benefits and a share of financial rewards in tribal businesses and land.

Studies show that we all have the tendency to daydream an average of 70-120 minutes a day. Day dreaming is classified as a level of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness, it occurs during our waking hours when we let our imagination carry us away. As our minds begin to wander and our level of awareness decreases, we lose ourselves in our imagined scenario and fantasy.

BY SAMANTHA FOSTER sfoster@kansan.com
During the Vietnam War, protests and anti-war pamphlets were in abundance at the University. Veterans of the war were denounced and few students and faculty were not opposed to the war. In April 1970, arsonists burned down the Kansas Memorial Union and in response University officials enacted a strict curfew on students. Yet in 1982, less than a year after the dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., the Student Senate passed a resolution to honor the University's 57 students and alumni who lost their lives in the war with a campus memorial.
Opponents of the memorial responded to the decision with pamphlets and editorials. Many stated that any memorial would only serve to glorify a war which "was fundamentally wrong." Others simply argued that it would be ridiculous for the University to spend $20,000 on a Vietnam War memorial while it was in the midst of financial difficulties.
thy plan that should not resurrect the politics of the war but serve to recognize the sacrifice of those who gave their lives." The memorial, they argued, should not renew the argument about whether the war was right or wrong but honor the soldiers who died.
However, students, faculty and other community members showed a great amount of support for the project. A member of the editorial staff of the Lawrence Journal-World wrote, "It is a wor-
In 1984, the Memorial Committee worked out a plan to build the monument in Marvin Grove, to the southwest of the Spencer Art Museum. According to Tom Berger, Vietnam veteran and co-chair of the committee, the location was ideal for the memorial. "Its serenity and peace and its proximity to Memorial Stadium and the Campanile make it perfect," he said.
The KU Vietnam Memorial Committee raised $30,000 for the project and announced a design contest asking students to submit architectural plans for the monument. The winning design was submitted by student John Onken, and the committee planned to use the Chandler Court of the Burge Union as the site, but neither the design nor its location made it past the planning stage. In 1984, it was decided that the location would not be conducive to the solemn atmosphere that the memorial was intended to inspire, and Onken's designs were pronounced too expensive for the funds that had been raised.
Do You Know KU?
Memorial Stadium and the Campanile are both memorials to University students who died in the World Wars.
It was in the fall of 1985 that a design was created which satisfied both the Memorial Committee and the University. The design was created by student Doran Abel, professor Stephan Grabow, and Greg Wade, the University's landscape architect for facilities planning. The monument plan consisted of a wall similar to the national memorial in Washington, D.C., made of limestone and bearing the names of the 55 students and alumni of the University who were known to have been killed, declared missing, or POWs in Vietnam. It would also bear the inscription, "Lest we forget the courage, honor and sacrifice of our fellow students."
Vandalism took place both during and after the construction of the monument, both times denounced as "cowardly" and "dishonorable." In spite of the considerable delays and vandalism, the memorial was dedicated on May 25, 1986. Over 300 friends and family members of the soldiers being remembered were present at the ceremony.
"Now we gather in tribute," said Chancellor Gene Budig at the ceremony. "This memorial will keep their sacrifice before us always."
The official ground-breaking for the memorial took place on November 11, 1985, Veteran's Day.
As Tom Berger reflected on the support for the memorial shown by University students, he told the Journal-World, "They've learned to separate the war from the warriors... Its most important message must always read: Here we remember the price they paid."

Project to benefit multiple sclerosis
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
dodd@kansan.com
Everyday Kelly Mesi lives with uncertainty.
Mesi, a La Grange, III., senior is one of 400,000 people who live with multiple sclerosis in the United States.
"One day you could wake up and have to take a midterm, and you're unable to, because you can't see," Mesi said.

Mesi has dealt with the uncertainty since May of last year. People with MS can't predict when the symptoms will surface.
Students on the Event Planning committee in communications 342 plan for the MS Society fundraiser their class is organizing for this Saturday. Events include open bowling at Royal Crest Lanes, 933 Iowa St., from 1 to 3 p.m. and a beer pong tournament at Jet Lag Lounge, 610 Florida St., from 5 to 8 p.m. The students are, clockwise from right, Amanda McConnaught, Overland Park senior, Chelsea Veire, Eden Prairie, Min. senior, Amy Abrams, Leawood senior, David Stutz, Leawood senior, Rachelle Saathoff, Lawrence senior, Liz Decker, St. Louis junior and Zach Wisdom. Manhattan junior.
Taryn Myers, Shawnee Mission senior, was studying abroad in Europe with Mesi when Mesi had her first episode, the term people with MS use to describe the symptoms.
"It's the inconvenience of it," Mesi said.
So when Myers "Problem Solving in Teams and Groups" class had to plan a fundraiser, Myers stood up in front of her class and sold her classmates on the idea of a project benefitting multile sclerosis.
One of those classmates is Maggie McGuire, a Mission Hills senior and a friend of Mesi and Myers.
"We wanted to do a project that actually meant something," McGuire said. "If you know someone who has
been through it, you're more likely to help out"
This is the first year that Communications classes are organizing charity events as part of the course curriculum. In the past, students in the class used the semester to create and market a board game. LaChrystal Ricke, a graduate teaching assistant, was the visionary behind the course format change.
"I was a little frustrated with whether the students were getting out what they should have gotten out of the class," Ricke said.
"I really wanted to give the students something tangible," Rickie said. "This will be an experience students can take with them. They will be able to use what they've learned from this experience and apply it in their future careers."
At the beginning of the semester, Ricke stood in front of the class and said, "Here is my vision for what I want this semester."
Students spent the semester in groups, pooling their resources and organizing the event.
The students decided on a charity bowling event and a beer pong tournament to raise money for the cause. The class' semester of planning will become a reality on Saturday. The bowling event, "Strike out MS," is at Royal Crest Lanes from 1-3 p.m., and the beer pong
tournament is at Jet Lag Lounge from 5 - 8.p.m.
The project has caused a lot of excitement among the class members.
"They've really taken to it," Ricke said.
Three of the "Problem Solving in Teams and Groups" class sections are still using the old curriculum, but Ricke said she was hopeful the service learning project will stay part of the class.
PARKS AND RECREATION
"We've done a pilot system and it has been successful" Ricke said.
Kelly Mesi, La Grange, Ill., senior, center, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis last year. Her friends, Maggie McGuire, Mission Hills senior, right, and Taryn Myers, Shawnee Mission senior, are in a communications class that is planning a benefit for MS.
Todd Brown, Shawnee junior, and another member of the class said the event should raise $4,000 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. "If you ask me, that's a lot of cash," Brown said.
For now Mesi is able to live a relatively normal life, but she's still motivated to help the approximately 2 million people around the world who are affected by multiple sclerosis.

Myers said. "She's so determined."

Activists demand U.S. citizenship
BY SOPHIA TAREEN ASSOCIATED PRESS
From Washington to Miami to Los Angeles, immigrant rights activists demanded citizenship opportunities for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. and an end to raids and deportations.
CHICAGO - Thousands of chanting,flag-waving immigrants and activists rallied in cities across the country Thursday, attempting to reinvigorate calls for immigration reform in a presidential election year in which the economy has taken center stage.
"We come here to fight for legalization. We're people. We have rights," said Eric Molina, an undocumented factory worker who immigrated to Zion, Ill., from Mexico.
Molina, his sister and his 13-year-old daughter Erika, a U.S. citizen, were among about 15,000 people who rallied in Chicago in one of the largest demonstrations of the day.
Turnout has fallen sharply since the first nationwide rallies
in 2006, when more than 1 million people — at least 400,000 in Chicago alone — clogged streets and brought downtown traffic to a standstill. Activists say this year's efforts are focused less on protests and more on voter registration and setting an agenda for the next president.
Some said participation likely was lower because many immigrants increasingly fear deportation.
Margot Veranes, a volunteer organizer in Tucson, Ariz., — where 12,000 took to the streets last year but early estimates Thursday put the crowd at about 500 — blamed the turnout on aggressive enforcement by Border Patrol and police.
"People have been stopped and deported in the last week. This is a community living in fear," said Veranes, a researcher for the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades. "You never know when you're going to be stopped by Border Patrol and now the police."
But she said that's also why people were marching.

Pierotti has been at the University since 1992. In that time, he has mentored Native students and was named Tribal College/University Mentor of the Year in 1998 by the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science. He is identified as "a member of the Comanche Nation" in his biography for that award.
Pierotti is also identified as a Comanche in the 2004 annual report for the National Science Foundation; a 1997 article in Earth Science magazine; a KU news release about the 2005 Big 12 Native American Student Leadership Conference at KU; in BioHawk, a privately funded annual newsletter produced by the Division of Biological Sciences of KU; and in an article published in the Journal of American Indian Education.
A Web site soliciting nearly $400,000 in funds for a documentary that Pierotti was involved with, "Powwow for the Planet," described him as "a Penatek Band Comanche and one of a very few tenured Native American scientists in U.S. universities." The Web site was taken down after the allegations were raised last semester. It is back up now, but there is no longer any mention of Pierotti's Comanie heritage.
Attempts to reach Pierotti by telephone were unsuccessful. His wife said in an e-mail to The Kansan that after consulting his doctors, her husband would not consent to an interview for this story.
In 1998, Pierotti and his wife, Cynthia Annett, filed a lawsuit against the University claiming that he faced racial discrimination because of his Native ethnicity and that she had been a victim of gender discrimination. The acts of discrimination that he cited included: removing laboratory space from him, revoking his position as chairman of the department of Syntematics and Ecology's Minority Affairs Committee and "denigrating" his award for mentoring minority students.
Ray Pierotti said in an e-mail that allegations by his brother Nicholas were the result of "an ugly family tragedy." David Pierotti echoed that statement. However, complaints that Ray falsely claimed to be Comanche arose long before his brother's e-mail.
Heidi Mehl, a third-year graduate student who has worked with Pierotti, said she didn't believe the allegations when she heard about them.
"I've never had any reason to question it," Mehl said of Periotti's ethnicity. "Anyone who knows him knows the claims don't hold any water. It's really easy to make those claims when you have other motives. That's an easy subject to attack. Identity is a really thorny issue to get into."
WHAT COMANCHES SAY:
The Comanche Nation first complained about Pierotti's claims when Monnarhae Henry, the tribe's enrollment director at the time, sent a letter to the interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences in 2006 saying that Ray Pierotti was not an enrolled member of the Comanche Nation. Copies of
the letter were sent to Michael Yellow Bird, who was the director of Indigenous Nations Studies at the time, and the Office of the Provost. The University said it did not become aware of allegations against Ray Pierotti until Fall of 2007, nearly a year after the letter was sent, but Yellow Bird said he received the letter.
Wallace Coffey, chairman for the Comanche Nation, said they were first alerted about Ray Pierotti about five years ago by Comanche students from KU and Haskell.
" The y are not the type of individuals who would judge or make any a s u m p tions," Coffey said. He said the students started asking basic kinship questions about Pierotti's famil
"Tribes get to say. It's really not a genetic issue; it's a tribal sovereignty issue."
The tribal leaders asked the University to apologize for failing to acknowledge the first letter and to include a disclaimer that said "Raymond Pieroti is not an enrolled member or citizen of the Comanche Nation" on all University Web sites that identified Pieroti as a Comanche.
Lynn Britz, director of University Communications, said that the KU
Coffey said he had not received any response from the University.
exclusive criterion is tribal enrollment."
LINDA SUE WARNER President of Haskell
"He just couldn't respond," Coffey said. "Our people would say it's just another white man professing to be Native and using what little knowledge he has to try to take advantage of us."
On Jan. 4, 2008, the Comanche Nation Business Committee, made up of elected leaders of the tribe, sent a second letter to the Office of the Provost. The letter, signed by eight tribal leaders, said Ray Pierotti still was not an enrolled member of the Comanche Nation.
The letter stated in part:
"The Comanche Nation is the only entity that can determine Comanche Nation citizenship. Pierotti's self-identification as Comanche and the University of Kansas' lack of effort to substantiate his claims shows disrespect to our tribal sovereignty and is an affront to the legitimate Comanche people. In essence, he is benefiting professionally and financially from unsubstantiated claims of Comanche identity for which the
administration could not discuss matters relating to personnel because of the individual's right to privacy.
Bretz said when the University was first made aware of allegations against Ray Pierotti last fall,
the University reviewed them and discussed them with Pierotti. Bretz said the University took matters of academic integrity and scholarly misconduct seriously. She said the University had a serious review process that included listening to complaints and gathering evidence.
According to University Senate Rules and Regulations, academic misconduct for an instructor includes: "grading student work by criteria other than academic performance, willful neglect in the discharge of teaching duties, falsification of research results, plagiarizing of another's work, violation of regulations or ethical codes for the treatment of human and animal subjects, or otherwise acting dishonestly in research."
The Comanche Nation, a federally recognized tribe, requires that those who enroll for membership must be able to trace their lineage back to the 1887 Dawes Act and must be at least one-eighth Comanche as determined by blood
quantum, which is the calculation of an individual's Indian blood.
To enroll, an ancestor with Comanche heritage must first be enrolled. Pierotti's parents are both deceased and people cannot be enrolled posthumously.
Ray Pierotti said in an e-mail that he wrote to the Comanche Nation and told them that he had never identified himself as an enrolled member of the tribe. However, he declined to discuss the specifics of his Comanche ethnicity.
Others have also expressed concerns about Pierotti's claimed heritage. After Nick Pierotti sent the e-mail with the allegations about his brother Ray, Devon Mihesuah, professor of indigenous nations studies, sent him a reply thanking him. Her e-mail reply was intended only for Nicholas Pierotti, but he posted it online on discussion boards without Mihesuah's consent.
In her response, Mihesuaah said that she had questioned Pierotti's Comanche identity and challenged his ability to teach in the indigenous nations studies department. She said she complained "endlessly" to KU administrators and even asked to be removed from the department. Her husband, Joshua Mihesuah, is an enrolled member of the Comanche tribe. In the message, she said that they had "been aware" of Pierotti's claims for almost 10 years, and that she was "frustrated that KU chose to look the other way".
Devon and Joshua Mihesuah both declined to comment for this story.
TRIBES DETERMINE:
Angelique EagleWoman, visiting assistant professor of law, said that tribal nations are sovereign and thus determine their own members. She said institutions like the University should contact the tribe before they identify faculty or students as American Indian.
The National Native American Bar Association created guidelines about tribal identity for public
institutions in 2007. They encourage institutions of higher education to require individuals who identify as Native American to provide information that will support their claim to ethnicity.
EagleWoman said people who are descendants of a tribe but are not eligible for enrollment should identify themselves as descendants. She said if institutions honored tribal sovereignty, ethnic fraud would not be a problem.
Linda Sue Warner, the president of Haskell Indian Nations University and an enrolled Comanche, said it was important that tribes determined who to include as members.
"Tribes get to say," Warner said. "It's really not a genetic issue; it's a tribal sovereignty issue."
When Warner became president of Haskell, the Comanche Nation had a celebration in Lawrence to honor her achievements. Coffey said that he did not see Pierotti during the celebration.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
DEBATE:

Others say that tribal enrollment is an oppressive construction that alienates some
"I think it's whitewash," said Michael Yellow Bird, associate professor of indigenous nations studies. "It's a colonial invention of the U.S. government. I don't believe in it."

Yellow Bird is Sahnish and Hidatsa. His official blood quantum level is 28/32, while several of his brothers and sisters have a perfect blood quantum level of 4/4 even though they have the same parents.
"In my perspective and in my view, Dr. Pierotti is as much Native as I am. His spirit, his heart is truly indigenous."
"A lot of people don't regard tribal enrollment systems with a lot of respect and credibility," he said.
full-blooded Indians cannot register with certain tribes because their blood quantum is so diverse among different tribes, she said.
Abrahamson has worked under Ray Pierotti and taken several of his classes. He is her adviser in the Indigenous Nations Studies department at KU. She said Pierotti inspired her to come to KU for graduate school.
Yellow Bird said what mattered was the performance of a person. He said Pierotti had guided a lot of students through KU and Haskell, many of whom have become successful scientists. Yellow Bird said students gravitated toward Pierotti.
She said what matters is being proud of your heritage and who you are, and Ray Pierotti is.
"I asked him and he said he was," Yellow Bird said of Pierotti. "That was good enough for me."
Abrahamson said she and other students had been made aware of the allegations by an e-mail that

"In my perspective and my view, Dr. Pierotti is as much Native as I am," she said. "His spirit, his heart is truly indigenous."
She said that was problematic because many Natives don't have a high enough blood quantum for any one tribe to enroll. Even some
A copy of the letter from the Comanche Nation's enrollment office was sent to Yellow Bird in 2006 when he was director of the indigenous nations studies department. Yellow Bird said he wasn't concerned because many people who are Native are not enrolled members of a tribe and because some people who are enrolled members aren't really Native.
"He was a good mentor." Yellow Bird said. "He showed up to meetings (of the First Nations Student Association) when no other faculty did."
Abrahamson is a full-blooded Shoshone Indian. Shoshones and Comanches are considered cousins.

was sent out to a select group of students and faculty members in the indigenous nations studies department last semester. She said the e-mail was "mean and hurtful and ugly."
WHAT THE FAMILY SAYS:
Nick Pierotti said in a phone interview that his brother decided to create a false Comanche identity many years ago in order to take advantage of affirmative action when he was struggling to get a job. He said Ray chose Comanche because the Comanche Nation didn't keep good records of family history.
David Pierotti said the brothers were not immersed in their Comanche heritage growing up in a middle-class suburban neighborhood, but that he remembered stories his grandmother would tell about animals and growing up in the West.
David Pierotti, Ray's other brother, said their grandmother on their mother's side was Comanche. He said Nick made up the allegations as an act of retaliation.
As an adolescent, David Pierotti said his heroes included Crazy Horse and Tecumseh. He said his family was not interested in gaining tribal membership, which he said was for people who were trying to receive tribal benefits. He said his mother tried to find out more information about their Native ancestry but was unable to.
David Pierotti said he and Ray both worked with Native groups and that they had never sought or received any gain from it. He said he thought it had actually hurt his brother's career, but that Ray got a lot of gratification from helping Native students.
"He and I have both done this kind of thing because we felt a sort

of obligation to help." David Pierrotti said.
Joe
David's wife, Josephine, said she recalls his mother telling stories about her background — both Polish and Comanche — on "many many occasions."
Nick said that their mother was aware that Ray identified himself as Comanche and that she thought it was wrong.
"There were never any stories told around the kitchen table that we were Native American," Nick said.
Their grandmother died before Nick was born, when David was just four years old and Ray was eight-years-old. Her son Joe Orie
— uncle to the Pierotti brothers and brother of their mother — said in a phone interview with The Kansan that his mother was not Comanche. He said she was born in Natrona Heights, Penn., and lived her entire life in that area. He said his mother's parents were of Polish descent and came to the United States from Europe.
Jack Orie — cousin of Ray, Nick and David — corroborated that statement. He said he and his family were "shocked" when they heard about the claims of Comanche heritage. Ori's father, John, could not be reached for comment.
Orie said that he had not seen his nephews, the Pierotti brothers, for many years but that he talked to their mother (his sister) on the phone every few months until her death in 2003.
THE IDENTITY ISSUE:
Linda Fund, assistant director of the KU Office of Human Resources and Equal Opportunity, said that for University purposes, it was up to each individual to identify his or her ethnicity and the University did not require faculty to provide evidence.
According to the most recent survey of faculty done in Fall 2007, 11 faculty members, including three associate professors, identify as American Indian. American Indians had the smallest representation of any ethnicity out of 1,534 total faculty. The University declined to say whether Pierotti was one of the 11.
Fund said that the University did not give special consideration to applicants of a minority ethnic group, but that the University did strive to ensure that the KU campus was reflective of the population's diversity and demographic make-up.
In his statement about diversity, Provost Larivière has stated: "The community of KU reveres individual worth and dignity and believes that advocacy for diversity and inclusion is a major responsibility entrusted to all campus community members."
Marilyn Harp, executive director of Kansas Legal Services, said there was no law that made it illegal to falsely identify oneself as being
of a certain ethnicity but that people had been terminated from jobs for breaching the trust of their employers.
"Because race isn't supposed to be a factor, to say that has something to do
with his hiring and success suggests that the laws aren't working well." Harp said. "Except people are paying attention to race, which isn't supposed to be a factor."
In his article, "The Morale of Faculty, Students, and Staff under a Corporate Model: The Case of the University of Kansas," Pierotti wrote that he was only "the second Native American tenure-track faculty member at KU."
room and on grant applications and to gain support and academic acceptance for his scholarship.
He is also identified as Comanche on an annual report for a research
"Any claim that he would be getting rich off of some claim to Native American identity is ludicrous."
The Comanche Nation expressed concern to the University that Pierotti was using his claims of Comanche heritage to acquire employment-related benefits, to enhance his credibility in the class-

program he led, Recruiting NATIVE American Students into Environmental Sciences, for which he and others received more than $400,000 in grant money from the
National Science Foundation. The report states: "Being of a Native American (Comanche) heritage and familiar with many of the problems faced by Native students planning careers in environmentally oriented research, Dr. Pierotti acts as a mentor ..." As of 2002, the reports for that program stated that it had helped more than 25 Native students to graduate with science
degrees from the University, some of whom went on to attend graduate school.
Mehl said she had benefited from Pierotti's grants as one of his students.
"Any claim that he would be getting rich off of some claim to Native American identity is ludicrous. I've never met two people who are more honest or more transparent," Mehl said of Pierotti and his wife, Annett. "They go out of their way to provide opportunities to students through those grants."
Mehl said Pierotti should be commended for his actions.
Abrahamson said Pierotti brought an indigenous perspective to science. Instead of looking at land as something to exploit as many do, Abrahamson said Pierotti taught his students that they were equal with nature.
Mehl said she appreciates Ray Pierotti's indigenous world view and holistic approach to sciences. Mehl said Pierotti teaches that everything is connected.
Mehl said people who are trying to reconnect with their heritage should be embraced.
But if Pierotti is not Native, he is teaching under false pretense and could be denying a job to someone who is a Native.
"They're being taught Native values by someone who isn't," Nick Pierotti said, "There are plenty of Natives that could be holding the position that my brother is in."
The question that has been raised by Nick Pierotti and others is not whether Ray Pierotti is an enrolled member of the Comanche Nation, which he is not, but rather whether he is Comanche at all.
Cornel Peeweyardy, who is a member of the Comanche Nation and taught at the University from 1996 to 2005, said that falsification of tribal identity was like identity theft.
Pewewardy said that he didn't know Ray Pierotti well but that he saw him at pow-wows for the First Nations Students Association and that they were on a committee together.
"There was all kinds of conversation," Pewewardy said about Pierotti's claims about his ethnicity. "I'm pretty sure he's not. He contends that he is."
Pewewardy said a basic element of identity is knowing who you're related to. "If nobody knows you from back home and they've never heard of you, it becomes suspect," Pewewardy said.

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
Bush urges approval of $770 million in food-aid
BY JENNIFER LOVEN ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Bush urged Congress Thursday to approve $770 million to help alleviate escalating food prices that threaten widespread hunger and social unrest around the world.
In a surprise midafternoon appearance at the White House, Bush announced he is asking lawmakers to approve the additional funds for global food aid and development programs. The money — to be directed primarily at needy African nations — is being included in a broader $70 billion Iraq war funding measure for 2009 that the White House sent to Capitol Hill on Thursday.
President Bush delivers a statement about food distribution Thursday in the Diplomatic Room of the White House in Washington.
"In some of the world's poorest nations, rising prices can mean the difference between getting a daily meal and going without food," Bush said. "The American people are generous people and they're a compassionate people. We believe in the timeless truth 'to whom much is given, much is expected.'"
"America's in the lead, we'll stay in the lead and we expect others to participate along with us," he said.
The new funds are aimed at meeting immediate needs with direct shipments of food aid, and the White House said they would allow for millions more people to get help. Emergency aid accounts for $620 million of the request, said Steve McMillin, deputy director of the president's Office of Management and Budget.
The new money comes on top of $200 million Bush ordered released two weeks ago for emergency food aid. It also is in addition to a pending $350 million request for emergency food aid funds. Because the new funds are part of a 2009 budget, they wouldn't be available for distribution until the start of the fiscal year on Oct.1, even if they are approved sooner.
Even so, Bush called it "just the beginning" of the U.S. effort to help. He said the United States would spend a total of $5 billion this year and next on food aid and related programs.
The funds also have long-term aims, with $150 million aimed at boosting U.S. programs to help farmers in developing countries increase productivity and make cash purchases of local crops, so communities are less in need of emergency help in the first place.
The issue has become more urgent recently because of food shortages and rising prices that, combined with high gas costs and rising home foreclosures, are putting a huge squeeze on families at home and abroad. What has been termed the first global food crisis since World War II has resulted in cries for help from United Nations officials and raised questions about how Bush will respond.
Some have blamed the food crisis in part on Bush-backed policies that push food-based biofuels such as ethanol as alternative energy sources. Bush says diverting corn and soybeans into fuel is still a smart approach, though he favors increasing funding for research into using wood chips or switchgrass rather than food crops.
Bush's top economic adviser, Edward Lazear, said ethanol made from corn is responsible for just 2-3 percent of the overall increase
in global food prices, which are 43 percent up this year over last year.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, an active farmer and a longtime defender of ethanol, acknowledged that the corn-based fuel is "being clobbered right now" but argued
that it was a "myth" to blame farmers — or ethanol for the soaring food prices. The main factors include energy costs and trade policies to hoarding and a drought in Australia, he said.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bush's announcement drew
praise from several quarters.
"Millions of people around the world may be saved from starvation if we can quickly move forward with the president's request," said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. "Global aid is not only the right thing to do;
it's the smart and safe thing to do. I commend the president for his leadership."

Obama's rift with Wright challenges pastors
BY ERIC GORSKI ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sen. Barack Obama's break with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright is putting black pastors and their congregations in a difficult position, their loyalties divided between a politician who could be the first black president and a celebrated preacher who many believe has been vilified.
The situation is complicated, ministers say, because there's a sense that both men have been treated unfairly — and that both have made mistakes.
Many black ministers defended Wright when his more incendiary remarks became an Internet sensation in March, saying context was needed to understand the black church's tradition of challenging injustice.
But Wright lost some of that support after his Monday appearance at the National Press Club in Washington, during which he claimed the U.S. government was capable of planting AIDS in the
The performance was enough for Obama to denounce Wright's comments as "divisive and destructive." That was just six weeks after he portrayed Wright, in a well-received speech on race, as a family member he couldn't disown.
black community, praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and suggested that Obama was acting like a politician by putting his pastor at arm's length while privately agreeing with him.
"What I am disappointed in is Rev. Wright's continuing to be in the public eye," said Bishop Charles H. Ellis III, senior pastor of 6,500-member Greater Grace Temple in Detroit. "If he has a point to get across, make your point. We as ministers have to be very careful about our timing."
Another pastor in Detroit — where Wright received a standing ovation Sunday at a dinner for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People — directed his anger at the Democratic senator.
The Rev. William Revely, pastor of 300-member Holy Hope Heritage Church, questioned Obama's truthfulness in claiming he had not heard some of Wright's contentious remarks from the pulpit.
"Anybody who has heard Jeremiah preach has heard that," said Revely, who has known Wright since the 1970s. "Jeremiah,
he's a pastor, and as a pastor you have to see things as they are. Politicians see things as they want them to be."
The punches and counter-punches thrown by Obama and Wright are leaving black churchgoers angry at both, said the Rev. Bennie Whiten, a retired United Church of Christ minister.
INTERNATIONAL
Al-Jazeera cameraman returns from Guantanamo
BY OMAR SINAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO, Egypt — An Al-Jazeera cameraman was released from U.S. custody at Guantanamo Bay and sent home to Sudan on Thursday after six years of imprisonment that became the subject of worldwide protests.
Many of Sami al-Haj's supporters saw his imprisonment as punishment for a network whose broadcasts angered U.S. officials. The military alleged he was a courier for a militant Muslim organization, an allegation his lawyers denied.
Al-Haj was believed to be the only journalist from a major international news organization held at Guantanamo. Al-Jazeera reported he was en route to the Sudanese capital Khartoum on a U.S. military plane.
Al-Haj was seized by Pakistani
forces on December 15, 2001, apparently at the behest of the U.S. authorities who suspected he had interviewed Osama bin Laden, said Reprieve, the legal action charity that represents 35 Guantanamo prisoners including al-Haj.
But that "supposed intelligence" turned out to be false, Reprieve said in a news release.
"This is wonderful news, and long overdue," said Clive Stafford Smith, Reprieve's director, who has represented al-Haj since 2005. "The U.S. administration has never had any reason for holding Mr. Al Haj, and has, instead, spent six years shamelessly attempting to turn him against his employers at Al-Jazeera."
A Pentagon spokesman, Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon, declined comment on the report.

Walters admits to affair
Former 'Today Show' host remembers relationship
BY FRAZIER MOORE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - After three decades, Barbara Walters disclosed an affair with married U.S. Senator Edward Brooke, whom she remembers as "exciting" and "brilliant."
Appearing on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" scheduled to air Tuesday, Walters shares details of her relationship with Brooke that lasted several years in the 1970s.
A moderate Republican from Massachusetts who took office in 1967, Brooke was the first African-American to be popularly elected to the Senate. Both he and Walters knew that public knowledge of their affair could have ruined his career as well as hers, Walters says.
At the time, the twice-divorced Walters was a rising star in TV news and co-host of NBC's "Today" show, but would soon jump to ABC News, where she has enjoyed unrivaled success. Her affair with Brooke, which never before came to light, had ended before he lost his bid for a third term in 1978.
Brooke later divorced, and has since remarried. Calls to a listing for Brooke in Miami were not immediately returned Thursday.
On "Oprah," Walters recounted a phone call from a friend who urged her to stop seeing Brooke.
"He said, "This is going to come out. This is going to ruin your career," then reminded her that Brooke was up for re-election a year later. "This is going to ruin him. You've got to break this off."
Winfrey asks Walters if she was in love.
"I was certainly — I don't know
— I was certainly infatuated."
Also during the show, Walters choked up while describing the struggles of her older sister Jackie, who was mentally retarded. Walters confessed that she sometimes felt embarrassed by Jackie.
"I was certainly involved," Walters says. "He was exciting. He was brilliant. It was exciting times in Washington."
"People made fun of her. People made fun of me," Walters said. "I didn't bring friends home. I felt terribly guilty because she was very loving and I didn't always feel that way."
jackie died in 1985 of ovarian cancer.
"When I think of her, because she was beautiful and loving and all of that, it makes me cry."

It's not quite as easy to get what you want for the next few days. If you're quick, you can get into a good position to see what's going on. Don't draw attention to yourself.

The whole job won't be easy. There will be difficult decisions, some of them very soon. If you do the research ahead of time, you'll have the right answers ready. Study up.
You're under pressure at work, but you can get around it. One way is by getting better at what you do. The other is to relax. That's getting easier.

It's a bad day when you have to buy mace
ANNIE SIMMERMON
Then I got mugged and my universe was once again set aspin. "Why, WHY!" I guess a scrawny blond girl walking to her car at night alone is the perfect target.
I gave in today and bought some mace. Now my already ridiculously bulky keychain has entered the realm of absolute absurdity. I feel like a seventh grader, and all I need now is a beanie baby carabeaner hanging from my backpack, and I will be set.
Who would've guessed. I know, stupid right. But after being robbed in one form or another three times last year, I started feeling helpless, and I have to say it really sucks. I am afraid of all men now, well, actually I'm afraid of any person who looks like they could take me, which happens to be a vast majority of the population.
I grew up in Kansas City, and I never felt afraid. I thought all Kansans had this special love for each other and never wanted to hurt one another.
Surprisingly, it took me a while to finally break down and buy the mace, it was like I didn't want to admit to myself that the place I call home isn't as safe as I thought it was.
It's the random acts of violence that bother me the most. I mean, the guy who mugged me, he probably did it cause he needed money (sorry that there was only $15 and giant obsolete cell phone in there), but when there is no rhyme or reason why a crime is committed, it's scary. Two of my good male friends were walking home from Mass. Street last year and were called over to a car by
a couple of guys who said they needed directions. When they got to the car the guys maced them and sped away. I mean, what is that? It's disgraceful, and that was in Lawrence.
Lots of people who live here feel invincible, like they can walk around at night alone, drunk or whatever, but times are changing and you just have to be more careful. It's the sad truth.
When people are so scared of each other that some think carrying a concealed weapon is justifiable, it changes the playing field. How far will the line between self-defense and murder have to be blurred until people start realizing that giving guns to the everyday American might not be the brightest idea.
How many 4-year-olds need to get shot, how many schools gunned down before policy changes and people start to realize guns are bad. From someone who has been held at gunpoint by a less-than-stable person, I can tell you giving guns to the public is ludicrous. Alas, it's too late now. There are way too many guns in the this country to get rid of them all. Armed robbery, shot to death, driveby, there are places in the world where these terms don't exist.
I'm not saying that everyone should go buy mace and be scared. It's more about just being aware and conscious of your surroundings. I'm not one of those people who chain-emails horror stories around. I'm really not. I'm pretty normal, but I do worry when it's after dark, and I'm alone. If being cautious saves you from becoming a victim, then believe me, it's worth it. We work hard for the things we own and having them or your dignity snatched away in an instant isn't worth living life naively and thinking you're indestructible.

>> LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Russian brides: Asset or liability?
The costs for mail-order brides can vary greatly, from $4,000 – $15,000. To obtain a permanent visa, the bride must remain married for a minimum of 2 years. Assuming that a $6,000 bride doesn't receive citizenship until after three years, that works out to
Dating over the Internet has become a cultural norm. By comparison though, mail-order brides are still somewhat disapproved of. Why is this the case? I can personally, without much hesitation, think of a few benefits of such a social contract. Of course an axiomatic benefit is sex. But moving beyond this, the vendee also inherits a maidservant.
$5 a day. Purchasing a maid and someone to sleep with, in such a slow economy for a few dollars a day, are benefits enough to pursue this adventure.
However, there is more. Like an automobile you can choose year, color, and make. Who wouldn't want such choices in life? A final benefit is what the bride actually receives, citizenship. Of course there are many more benefits, but these are a few key elements in why mail-order brides are ideal commodities in this society

COMMENTARY
Yale artist raises serious basic questions about art
JORDAN RYAN
Some people would say that contemporary artists are phonies who present shocking or disgusting works like vacuumums or excrement that only deserve the label "weird", never art.
According to David Cateforis, associate professor of art history, people who claim that something is not art either dislike or disagree with the piece and are attempting to take away its status as meaningful by trying to deem it unworthy of the title.
The trouble with this issue, news-wise, is that Yale claims that Shvarts explicity told University officials that she did not engage in these acts, yet Shvarts maintains that she did. Because she will not make an official statement admitting that she lied to the press and because the project includes human blood, Yale will not allow the piece to be shown.
Professor Cateforis teaches my Art after 1945 class, and we spoke for quite a while after I heard about the controversy surrounding Aliza Shvarts, a Yale senior art student. In fulfillment of her senior art project, she repeatedly artificially inseminated herself with donated sperm and induced miscarriages with legal, herbal drugs over a period of nine months. She had planned to project video footage of the miscarriages onto an installation piece incorporating the blood from the miscarriages to be put on display from April 22-May 1 in Green Hall on Yale's campus, but the University announced the day before its opening that it would not be shown.
The issue of truth, however, is not important to the meaning of the actions as a work of art. The knee-jerk reaction of most people who hear this story is that of disgust, but it is unfair of any person to assume that he or she has the power to name something "art," or take that name away from it.
Shvarts had honest artistic intentions when she completed these actions, and she meant to promote discourse about the politics of the female body and reproductivity, and call attention to the way that we ascribe names to physical objects to give them meaning; she said it "is at its heart an ideological act, an act that literally has the power to construct bodies. In a sense, the act of conception occurs when the viewer assigns the term 'miscarriage' or 'period' to that blood." These are Shvarts' words, taken from her column published in the Yale Daily News on Friday, April 18th stating her artistic intentions. Although her explanations are very heavy with big academic words and theoretical ideas, a very simple reading sums it up: Talk! Talk about what you believe and challenge yourself.
If we take the title of "art" away from this work, we are "refusing the challenge it raises of forcing us to think about what we believe" said Cateforis. "Art has the ultimate freedom to explore and question everything, and this successful provocation reminds us that the art arena is one where subjects are more open." This "provocation" refers to the incredible amount of media attention this issue has received, from blogs to the Washington Post to Perez Hilton.
I believe that this incident, whether true or false, is one that will cause more negative results in its controversy than positive. Due to the nature of the vast majority of people to very vehemently oppose it, and the potentially negative light it may shed on the pro-choice movement, this call to challenge beliefs may be left unheard. Shvarts can and will be connected to the pro-choice movement by many pro-life advocates, but NARAL's official stance, taken from its Web site, is "While it's critical to promote policies that help prevent unintended pregnancies and make abortion less necessary, NARAL Pro-Choice America also fights to protect the right to safe, legal abortion." Because this is such a hot topic in politics and morality, I believe that the weight of controversy and scandal will overshadow a positive aspect to this work and
give conservatives everywhere a chance to link Shvarts to the prochoice campaign.
The issue as important as the negative effects of this matter is: If we keep the title of art from this project, we are not challenging our beliefs. One's convictions are the most powerful when they have been challenged, and by ignoring the ability of this work to promote discussion, we refuse to confront our preconceived beliefs and the opportunity to challenge or alter them.
As for what Yale students think, I asked my childhood friend Cassie Mitchell, a junior at Yale, and she reported that "because time has passed and Aliza has done some incredible work in writing her oped and refused to say anything else, she's attracting more positive attention. Especially with Yale completely bailing on her. I mean, it's not every day that Dean Salovey, arguably one of the best loved men on campus, calls a student's work reprehensible."
I have my fair share of opinions about this work which I am happy to discuss, but they are secondary to my opinion that this performance should be seen as having a positive artistic intention that is ultimately coming to fruition through all of the controversy and dialogue in the press regarding its artistic intentions, morality, and political implications. You should assess all of this for yourself with an open mind rather than putting this paper down and saying "Eeew. This girl is crazy." More first-hand news on Shvarts and the details surrounding this case can be read at www.yaledailynews.com.
Although blood has already been drawn in the name of art when Chris Burden performed "Shoot" in 1971 in which a friend shot him, and the issue of naming first appeared when Marcel Duchamp turned a urinal upside down, signed it with an alias and called it "Fountain," Shvarts' work deserves to be seen as a work of art and deserves to be viewed with a critical mind and not a closed one.

Soldiers with felony records on the rise
As the conflict in Iraq enters its fifth year with no end in sight, the capability of the country's armed forces is being challenged by extended combat assignments.
In a disturbing sign that standards are being lowered to fill the ranks, the number of felons granted waivers to serve in the Army more than doubled this year from last, rising to 511 from 249. Even the Marine
Corps, whose slogan is "The few, the proud, the Marines," accepted 350 recruits with felony records last year, a jump from 208 in 2006.
Offenses waived included convictions for armed robbery, arson and burglary. Both services also granted increases in the number of waivers for misdemeanors.
One reason recruiting highly qualified young people for the armed forces has become so difficult is that they see the unfair and seemingly endless

An exhibit shows how nature and architecture overlap as branches grow out of columns. The exhibit is part of the Commons, a new initiative on campus to promote science and art on the KU campus.
Collection shows Kansas culture
BY MARY SORRICK
BY MART SCHNICK
mscrick@kansan.com
msorrick@kansan.com The Commons, a new initiative that blends the arts, sciences and humanities, recently completed construction in its new home on campus.
Housed in Spooner Hall, it is a collection of art exhibits, scientific workshops, lectures and performances that explore how human and natural systems overlap.
It developed out of a partnership joining the Biodiversity Institute, the Hall Center for the Humanities and the Spencer Museum of Art.
Thomas Hardy, Salina senior and president of the Natural History Museum's Student Advisory Board, said the Commons was like an ambassador to the cultural push for green living.
"It's especially good for Kansas because a lot of people say New York and L.A. create all the culture," Hardy said, "but in reality, Kansas has culture that they don't and the Commons would be a
good example."
Jordan Yochim, acting director of The Commons, said it was a unique initiative at the University and he didn't know of anything like it existing elsewhere in the country.
A primary focus of the Commons will be the exploration of different ways in which people and nature clash.
One ongoing feature for students has been free daily showings of the Discovery Channel's "Planet Earth" series from 2 to 3 p.m.
Niche, a subversive art exhibit created by local artists, is another unique aspect of the Commons.
Michael Stolzle, Wichita graduate student and student worker for The Commons, said the art in Niche offered a new perspective on common environmental issues related to recycling, plastic bags and bottled water consumption.
One of the exhibit's pieces depicts a water buffalo struggling to survive in a sea of blue and
white plastic water bottles. Another features root systems made from plastic bags and junk mail hanging from the exhibit's walls.
Yochim said he hoped students would take advantage of the space as it developed further.
"Eventually wed like to be able to offer it as a drop-in place where people could come between classes, plug in a laptop and do a little work." Yochim said.
Though The Commons is still in the early stages, Hardy said upcoming additions, such as a soundtrack of natural and city sounds, would continue to improve the space over time.
"A lot is in the works right now"
Hardy said. "The really good stuff is to come."
The Commons is free and open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. between Tuesday and Saturday every week.

Debate team ends season on top University first in rankings for second time in three years
COMPETITION
BY LUKE MORRIS
Imorris@ku.edu
The Kansas debate team didn't need a miracle to get to No.1. Hard work year round was enough to propel them to the top of season-ending rankings.
The team finished its season on top of the rankings for the second time in three years by earning more points at debate tournaments than other universities.
"It's neat to be part of a program that's that good," said Kyle Shernuk, Overland Park senior and member of the debate team. "It's a nice reward for having worked hard, and it looks good for the school, too."
Shernuk said the team had to work hard from September to March to get to the top.
"We're very proud of achievements and work that we put in," said debate coach Scott Harris. "We're very pleased."
Brent Bricker, Wichita senior and debate team member, said that he and his debate partner put in 40 to 50 hours a week practicing. Their practice included researching topics and participating in speech and debate drills.
"It's good to have something to show for all the hard work we put into debate," Bricker said.
Bricker and Shernuk both said that this year's national No. 1 meant more to them because it was their senior years.
"It means a lot more to me this year because I had a more influential role," Bricker said. "This year my partner and I did a lot of the work, so it was a little more fulfilling."
During the season, the team won first place at four tournaments and took second at six others. The tournaments featured anywhere from more than 170 to fewer than 30 teams.
Wake Forest won the National Debate Tournament, but Kansas still had more overall points at the end of the season. Wake Forest took fifth in the final rankings. Harris explained that the ranking were based on a point system that calculated total victories, size of tournaments and the quality of competition at those tournaments.

Houses in various stages of construction dot the landscape in Greensburg April 23. The town is slowly rebuilding nearly a year after an F-5 tornado destroyed most of the community of 1,400 May 4, 2007.
Greensburg reconstruction green Town rebuilds in wake of devastating tornado

GREENSBURG — A year after it was practically wiped off the map by a tornado, Greensburg is rising again — and going green, too, with solar panels, wind turbines, tinted windows, water-saving toilets and other energy-efficient technology.
Now the water tower is back, the town's one traffic light has been replaced, and neighborhoods are showing signs of life.
Environmentalists and civic leaders have seized on the disaster as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to re-engineer the town.
On May 4,2007,an F-5 twister blasted Greensburg,killing 11 people in the town of 1,400 and flattening its turn-of-the-century brick buildings,Victorian and prairie-style houses.Townspeople found themselves disoriented after most
of Greensburg's manmade and natural landmarks were erased.
"I would never say the tornado happening was a good thing. I would never wish that on anybody," said Kim Alderfer, assistant city manager, "but given the opportunity, we have to do it right — to make it better."
She said she and her husband did not intentionally build their house
for energy-efficient design.
"It will be ter, greener community," said Erica Goodman, a newly elected city councilwoman. "I think the green initiative is really what will set Greensburg apart from every other

"I think they are going too far with it. But if they have the money,it is fine."
About 40 homes have been built to environmentally-friendly specifications, with added insulation, double-pane windows and high-efficiency compact-fluorescent lights. Some buildings have extra-large, south-facing windows that take advantage of sunlight to heat and illuminate the home. Many returning homeowners are also using recycled materials, including lum-
nity in the United States."
"It will be a stronger, better, greener community."

Greensburg City Councilwoman
Returning homeowners and businesses are being encouraged to think about such things as energy-saving lights and rainwater collection systems as they rebuild. The town government has resolved to erect public buildings that meet the stringent LEED Platinum standards
ber and bricks salvaged from the twister.
The John Deere farm equipment dealership has put up a wind turbine, as has the town's brand-new arts center. Others are planned.
Builders are installing water-efficient faucets, shower heads, toilets and appliances, and a few homes will also have solar panels to provide power.

green, but put in things such as an efficient hot water heater and insulation to cut their energy costs.
"In a way, I am for it some," she said of the town's green effort. "I think they are going too far with it.
But if they have the money, it is fine"
LEED Platinum buildings cost about 5 percent more to construct but generally save 30 to 50 percent on energy bills, according to Jack Rozdilsky, a University of North Texas professor who has studied Greensburg's rebuilding effort.
A commemoration of the disaster, dubbed "Tragedy to Triumph — Greensburg Rising," begins Friday and culminates on Sunday with President Bush delivering the high school commencement address. But questions persist about Greensburg's future — green or not.
Since the storm, 131 new home permits have been issued. But about half the town's residents have yet to come back. Some cannot afford to rebuild, while others have moved on to other opportunities and settled elsewhere.
Many of the 700 people who remain in Greensburg are still living in "Femaville," the mobile home park set up by the Federal Emergency Management Agency on the outskirts of town.

Nicole Cauzillo's first glimpse of life in Ethiopia came from the back seat of a van as it swerved through the streets of the capital city, Addis Ababa.
Long after dark, drivers honked and jockeyed for position in Addis Ababa's chaotic traffic. Children played in the streets. Cauzillo, a Northville, Mich., senior, sat back in her seat, taking it all in.
Hours earlier, Cauzillo and the rest of the Charlotte Eagles, a women's semi-pro soccer team made up of former college standouts, had been greeted by local media and members of their sister队 — the Addis Ababa Eagles — almost immediately after stepping off the plane.
It was the beginning of a whirlwind 15 days, from April 1-16, spent using soccer to introduce the word of God, perform mission work and support Ethiopia's fledgling women's professional league and its players. In the process, the Eagles overcame the Ethiopian women's national team 3-2 behind two Cauzillo goals, all while battling the withering heat and struggling to adapt to an altitude of more than 7,000 feet.
"We got tired when we first got there just bringing our bags up the stairs," Cauzillo said of the draining conditions.
that self-fertilized and occasionally interrupted play.
Cauzillo said she quickly learned soccer in Ethiopia was completely different than the game she played in the United States. Mountains and a picturesque lake dominated by a herd of hippos flanked the team's training camp outside Addis Ababa at Lake Lagano. The fields were more dirt than grass, and the grounds crew consisted of dedicated herds of cattle
But the players and love for the game? No different. Cauzillo said it was inspiring to see the hope and excitement the game of soccer brought the women and children she met during her two weeks in Ethiopia.
"There is so much poverty, hard work and all these things that take their joy
away', she said. "Soccer is one thing that really gives them joy."
After completing her career at Kansas by leading the team with 5 goals last fall, Cauzillo said she was looking for an opportunity to continue playing when then Kansas volunteer assistant coach Jenny Anderson-Hammond, a former Eagles player, approached her with an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Eagles' coach Sam Casey was looking for a player to fill out his roster for the team's trip to Ethiopia. Cauzillo was offered the spot. She said the opportunity to combine her love of soccer and religious beliefs through mission work in Africa was impossible to pass up. Cauzillo said she had always wanted to perform mission work in Africa, but she never would have expected the effect the people
there would have on her.
"I went to Ethiopia thinking 'I have so much to give these people. I'm really excited to change their lives and fill up their lives," she said. "But I left being completely changed by them."
Casey said although Cauzillo joined the group late, the team welcomed her with

COMMENTARY
BY BRYAN WHEELER
8WHEELER@KANSAN.COM
With this year's NBA draft less than two months away, 51 underclassmen at colleges across the country have declared intentions to go pro. Since the National Basketball Association made it a rule in 2006 that a player must be 19 years of age and one year removed from high school to enter the draft, college basketball has seen a drastic change in its landscape.
The result of this rule is that college basketball, at many schools, has turned into minor league basketball. Players such as this year's NBA Rookie of the Year Kevin Durant and Kansas State freshman Michael Beasley have been delayed from going pro because of the two-year-old regulation. If not for the rule, Durant would have likely won NBA Rookie of the Year last year, and Beasley would have won it this year.
The NBA policy can be best summed up by the Beach Boss song "Wouldn't Be Nice."
Ironically, freshman Kevin Love of UCLA is a cousin of Brian Wilson and a nephew of Mike Love, who sang on the 1966 hit single. Kevin Love is one of the 12 freshmen who have declared early entry for the draft and will likely be a lottery pick.
Until something is done to change the current draft rules in place, universities across the nation will play host to future NBA stars for a year or two before the players punch their time cards and go pro. In a sense, NCAA basketball is turning into a minor league system for the NBA.
"Wouldn't it be nice if we were older/ Then we wouldn't have to wait so long/ And wouldn't it be nice to live together/ In the kind of world where we belong."
will leave. If not, he will spend another year down in "the minors."
High school basketball stars play at a college of their choice for a year while professional scouts get a chance to evaluate them. After each season is finished, NBA teams can evaluate a player even more. If the player is good enough to make it to the big leagues, he
Unlike the NFL and MLB, the only party benefitting from the rule is the NBA. In the National Football League, a player must be three years removed from high school. In Major League Baseball, a player from a four-year college must have completed at least his junior year. By requiring a player to spend a few years in college, the incentive to graduate is much greater.
In the current state of college basketball, universities are leasing players who should go pro. The players don't like it, the fans hate it when their star decides to bolt to the NBA after a year, and the notion that players are student-athletes is becoming a joke.
LAPHO 91
As of now, NBA commissioner David Stern looks like a genius. He has created a minor league basketball system in just two years at the expense of the NCAA. The NCAA needs to develop a system within college basketball requiring athletes to either go pro after high school or stay in college for at least two years. If the other two major college sports are doing it, why not basketball?
In an interview with the Associated Press in mid-March about Beasley's decision to turn pro, Kansas State coach Frank Martin indirectly summed up what this rule has done for college basketball.
The decision for Beasley was obvious. Martin is right by saying not to worry about the school, the team or the fens, but this process is undermining the whole concept of college athletics. Just to give you an idea just how right it was for Beasley to look out for himself, former Texas star Kevin Durant made more than $4 million in his rookie season alone. Last time I checked, there aren't too many jobs a college graduate could start out with a salary like that in their first year, let alone a whole career. Can we really blame these stars for going to the NBA after a year or two?
Junior running back Jake Sharp takes a handoff during the Spring Game March 14 at Memorial Stadium. Sharp will share time next season with junior running back Jocques Crawford, a junior college transfer.
"He's got to make sure that he does what's right for him and for his family. That's what my advice will come from," Martin said. "Not what's best for Kansas State, not what's best for John Doe. It's what's best for Michael Beasley. He's going to do what's best for him."

Mangino confident in transfer running back

Last season, Kansas football boasted the 31st-ranked rushing offense in the nation, plowing its way to nearly 200 yards per game on the ground. The 2007 Jayhawks accomplished those feats on the shoulders of Brandon McAnderson — a converted fullback — and Jake Sharp — an undersized third-down back.
Plug last year's junior college offensive player of the year into the equation, and this year's Kansas ground game could top the team's 2007 accomplishments.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino may have been thinking along those lines when he reeled in Jocques Crawford, a 6-foot-1, 230-pound junior running back out of Cisco Junior College in Texas.
"He looks really good on tape, and he's a really good-looking guy in person," Mangino said. "He has explosion, he has that next gear everybody talks about and he's powerful. He's a very well-built, muscular guy that can break tackles as well as make people miss."
Crawford led all junior college players with 1,935 rushing yards last season
and scored 19 touchdowns. One year earlier, he tallied 1,069 rushing yards and eight touchdowns. Crawford's sterling stat lines stretch back to his prep days at Cordova High in Memphis, Tenn., where he rushed for 1,381 yards and 19 touchdowns as a junior.
"I'm just trying to come in and earn the starting spot, but I'm not asking for it to be given to me," Crawford said. "I really like my chances."
The junior college import will face
"He looks really good on tape, and he's a really good-looking guy in person."

Two years later, Crawford is prepping to become a Jayhawk — potentially the team's featured running back.
Crawford's impressive high school numbers drew the attention of Division I programs, and he signed to play at Texas Tech. But when he ran into legal trouble, Texas Tech dropped Crawford. Eyen with the running back's personal problems behind him, he had to turn to junior college to continue his football career.
competition for carries from junior runner backs Jake Sharp and Angus Quigley.
Sharp was a major contributor early last season and ranked 12th in the Big 12 in rushing yards per game, but his production dropped off significantly late in the season. He carried the ball 10 times for 33 yards in the final two
games of 2007, and gained zero yards from scrimmage against Missouri.
At 6-foot-2 and 222 pounds, Quigley looks the part of star running back, but has struggled with injuries and inconsistency throughout his time at Kansas. Last year he played in parts of six games and gained 98 yards on 17 carries. Sophomore running back Carmon Boyd-Anderson, who showed promise in four early-season games last year, could also be in the mix

The final say on who carries the load for the Jayhawks will be up to Mangino, and he hasn't handed the reins to Crawford just yet.
"Joquces will come in here and compete like every other guy on the team," Mangino said. "We were hoped he'd come in and have an immediate impact — that's our hope. But he has to prove that just like the rest of the team."

Recruit commits for 2010
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
It was almost two months ago when Royce Woolridge met his coach, Dan Mannix, for a friendly chat about the NCAA Tournament.
They sat in Mannix's office at Sunnyslope High School and talked about the games. Mannix wanted to know what Woolridge thought about the players and the teams since he'd be playing at the same level in two years. Then, he asked him which school hed play for if he had his pick.
Woolridge told him Kansas.
"The first one he said," Mannix noted.
Now, his dream is reality. Woolridge, a 6-foot-2 sophomore guard from Phoenix, committed to Kansas yesterday, becoming the first member of the Jayhawks' 2010 recruiting class. He had also been considering Arizona, Arizona
State, Georgetown, Cal and others.
Kansas' interest in Woolridge picked up considerably in recent weeks. He played in tournaments in Las Vegas and Denver in the last month, and according to Mannix, Kansas offered him a scholarship in that time. Without even visiting, Woolridge gave Self his word that he'd come to Kansas.
It's tough to blame Bill Self and his staff for promising a scholarship to a player as young as Woolridge. He averaged 16 points a game this season for Sunnyslope despite facing double teams and box-and-ones nearly every game. His shooting range extends to 23 feet.
"It's uncanny," Mannix said.
Although Woolridge is only a sophomore, early commitments aren't that unusual anymore. Five of the top 10 players in the class of 2010 have already committed to a school. Southern California offered a scholarship to a player
last summer before he had even chosen a high school.
"If you're 15 years old and a good looking girl asks you to dance." Mannix said, "of course you're going to say yes. These are the national champions and they're going to offer you a scholarship."
It'll be two years before Woolridge gets to suit up for the Jayhawks. He might grow - his father, Orlando Woolridge, is 6-foot-9 and played in the NBA. He might rise to the top of his recruiting class. He might get injured. Who knows.
Mannix is confident Woolridge will improve. He's a straight A student, and Mannix praises his work ethic.
"I always tell him there are lots of guys your size," Mannix said. "What's going to separate you? Time will tell."

Richard Hamilton hit his first five shots during Detroit's overpowering start, and the Pistons rolled into the second round of the playoffs by crushing the Philadelphia 76ers 100-77 on Thursday night to win the series 4-2.
The Pistons convincingly won the last two games of a series that wasn't expected to last this long and will play host to the Orlando Magic, who eliminated Toronto in five games, on Saturday in the opener of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

They were all on the bench for nearly the entire fourth quarter, when the lead ballooned over 30 points. Detroit held Philadelphia without a field goal for nearly
the first 6 minutes of the game, ending any real hopes the Sixers' had of forcing a Game 7 back in Michigan.
Hamilton finished with 24 points, 13 in the decisive first quarter when he outscored the 76ers by himself. Chauncey Billups added 20 and Tayshaun Prince had 12 for the Pistons, who reached the second round for the seventh straight season.
Andre Iguodala scored 16 points and Andre Miller had another quiet game with 11 for the Sixers, who outplayed the heavily favored Pistons for the first 3 1/2 games of the series but never really had a chance after that.
The second-seeded Pistons won 59 games during the regular season, second-best in the NBA behind Boston.
As easy as the Pistons' 98-81 victory in Game 5 was, they had even less trouble in this one, racing to a 10-0 lead and never giving the disappointing crowd of 14,130 a chance to get into the game.

Pole-vaulting in a foreign land
BY DANNY NORDSTROM
dnordstrom@kansan.com
KA
Weston White/KANSAN
Senior pale vaulter Kate Sultanona looks down while clearing the bar at the Kansas Relays. Sulivanova finished second overall while finishing at 4.05 meters.
Kate Sultanova was completely terrified. The senior pole-vaulter was in a foreign land where she knew no one, couldn't speak the language and could still remember exactly how she had gotten to the University of Kansas.
"It was scary for me because you're just going to another planet basically," she said. "I was thinking, I don't know what kind of people they are. Are they mean or nice? I can't speak the language."
Only one week earlier Sultanana was in her hometown of Krasnodar, Russia, completely unaware that she was about to embark on an incredible journey across the world.
"My dad decided everything," she said. "He gave me a week before I had to say goodbye to my friends. He didn't want me to think about it. He said that he knew it was best for it, and I trusted him."
A former Kansas pole-vaulter and friend of Sultanova had informed her father that KU was looking for female athletes. Sultanova's father, who is a professional track and field coach, then made all necessary travel arrangements and explained the situation to his daughter.
Sultanova said that her biggest influence in life has been her dad. Growing up in a Russian town of 800,000 people, just northeast of the Black Sea, Sultanova was introduced to track and field at a very young age.
"My dad was always taking me to meets because he was a track coach," she said. "I was five years old, and I was already holding the pole."
Originally involved in rhythmic gymnastics, Sultanova's father felt his daughter would make an excellent pole-vaulter. Sultanova was reluctant at first, but eventually followed her dad's advice to "just try it."
At age 16 she began competing in the pole vault for her high school. Initially Sultanova was not
entirely excited about the sport.
"When you start you don't know the technique," she said. "You don't get the feeling like I do now."
Several years later Sultanova landed in Kansas, and the rest is history. The once terrified freshman, who could only say phrases like "Hi, my name is Kate from Russia," transformed into the four-time All American and three-time Big 12 champion that she is today.
More recently, Sultanova placed third at the 2008 Indoor National Championships in Fayetteville, Arks. and took home second place at the Kansas relays two weeks ago.
When not winning track and field meets Sultanova simply enjoys relaxing with her friends.
"I'm always hanging out with my American sister, Laura," she said with a laugh. "She's my best friend,
that's why I call her my sister."
Sultanova also enjoys spending time with her eight-year-old niece who is involved in rhythmic gymnastics just like she was at the same age.
After graduating this May, Sultanova hopes to continue her pole-vaulting career. She said that she wanted to compete professionally and eventually coach track and field.
"It's just me," she said. "I've been in sports all my life."
This weekend, Sultanova will travel to the University of Arkansas where she will compete in the Arkansas Twilight Meet. With the conference championships only two weeks away, she will be that much closer to bringing home another Big 12 title.

Jayhawks split two-game series against Nebraska
BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH
kbreckunetch@kanansan.com
The University of Kansas softball team split its second straight series on Wednesday night. A one-run loss in the first game of the night led the Jayhawks to salvage the series with a victory in the late game.
In the first game, the team trailed by one run going into the sixth inning but rallied for three runs in the top of the sixth. The Jayhawks couldn't contain Nebraska though, which scored three runs of its own in the bottom of the sixth to win 5-4. Junior third baseman Val Chapple and shortstop Stevie Crisosto both had two hits in the game and Chapple had one run and one RBI. Junior pitcher Valerie George allowed 11 hits during the course of the game and only struck out two batters in the loss.
Freshman pitcher Allison Clark has come on strong in the last part of the season and sees the pitching staff working together now to overcome tough outings.
The second game went much better for the Hawks. Clark pitched a complete game to earn the 6-3 victory in extra innings. Senior left fielder Betsy Wilson, sophomore second baseman Sara Ramirez and freshman catcher Brittany Hile all had multiple hits in the game and Wilson and Ramirez both drove in a run for the team. The second game was full of errors, as Kansas committed three in the game while Nebraska had four. Clark allowed only one earned run and has come on strong at the end of the season.
Clark said the Jayhawks' tough loss in the opening game was what motivated her in the second game.
"We're going through struggles, but we're helping each other out and we're getting the job done when we need to," Clark said.
"That's why I came out in the second game and I was like, 'You know what, I'm gonna shut this
The Jayhawks now prepare for their final series against Iowa State at Arrocha Ballpark this weekend. It will be the last series at home for Wilson, senior first baseman Addy Lucero and reserve catcher Sara Sidebottom.

team down," Clark said.
The game on Saturday will start at 1 p.m. and Sunday's game will be at noon. Then, the Jayhawks will move on to the Big 12 conference tournament.

open arms. He said her enthusiasm, compassion for helping others and megawatt smile was contagious.
"The season's really long and we're all pretty tired, but we all just have to fight and find that little fire within ourselves," Clark said.
"She loves people," Casey said. "I felt like every person she met, every kid she met, she was just so excited to meet them and speak with them. She always had a smile on her face."
Cauzillo said she would remember the countless friendships she made among the women she played with and against for the rest of her life. None more so than the friendship that developed between herself and 19-year-old Ethiopian women's national team prodigy and Addis Ababa Eagle, Birtukan.
Edited by Jared Duncan
"She is the Michael Jordan of women's soccer there," Cauzillo said.
After spending nearly two weeks training and playing together in Addis and at Lake Lagano, the two went head to head in the Eagles' final game of the trip in front of a raucous crowd at the Ethiopian national stadium in Addis.
Following Cauzillo and the Eagles' dramatic victory against Birtukan and the Ethiopian national team, the two swapped jerseys. a traditional sign of respect between players. Cauzillo said after the game Birtukan brought her to her home and introduced her to her family, an experience she will treasure the rest of her life.
In fact, Cauzillo promised to travel back to Ethiopia in December for a week to visit. She is even considering an offer to
return in the summer of 2009 to play for the Addis Ababa Eagles in Ethiopia's women's league.
While Cauzillo plans on returning to Ethiopia, Birtukan may get the opportunity to make the trip to the U.S. Casey said the Eagles had already begun the process of getting Birtukan a visa to play in Charlotte this summer.
As for Cauzillo, she said she was counting the days until she can return to Ethiopia. After all, she made a promise.

"Mentally and physically I wasn't there," said Ponson, who battled injuries when he pitched for St. Louis and the New York Yankees in 2006. "I told my agent, I ain't playing. I'm going to go home, chill and relax, get everything out of my mind."
The 31-year-old Ponson (1-0) signed a minor league deal this spring, and was recalled Saturday for his first start with the Rangers. He allowed five runs, only one earned, over 5 1-3 innings vs. the Twins.
Against the Royals, Ponson benefited from two double plays and picked off a runner to face the minimum three batters in the fourth through seventh innings. He struck out five and walked two while throwing 76 of his 108 pitches for strikes.
C. J. Wilson worked a perfect ninth for his sixth save in seven chances.
Kinsler lined a 1-1 pitch into the left-field seats for his second lead-off homer of the season. Vazquez followed with a single before Greinke retired 12 straight — half of those on strikeouts. Rookie Brandon Boggs singled leading off the fifth and the only other to reach base was Vazquez, on his one-out homer in the sixth.
"First at-bat to Kinsler, it was over the middle, shouldn't have, and he hit it," Greinke said. "I settled down from there. Ponson was great. His sinker was really moving. The wind was blowing straight out, it helped his sinker and helped my curveball. It might have been an advantage to him."
Greinke scattered four hits without any walks and struck out nine, fanning All-Star shortstop Michael Young three times. Greinke's ERA actually rose, from 1.25 to 1.47, still second-best in the American League.
"Zack was really good," manager Trey Hillman said. "We got the pitching back but couldn't put the offense with it. ... They were good enough against Zach on two swings to get the ball out of the ballpark."
Notes:@ Young's 14-game hitting streak ended. It was the longest active streak and matched Boston's Dustin Pedroia for the longest in the AL this season. ... The getaway day game lasted 2 hours, 10 minutes, following games of 3:41 and 3:28 in the first two games of the series. ... The Rangers had planned to use Milton Bradley in RF on Thursday, which would have been the first time since knee surgery last year that he would have played consecutive games in the field. But he came out of Wednesday night's game with a hamstring cramp, and didn't play Thursday. Washington said Bradley was fine and would play Friday.

Exercise rider Michelle Nevin takes Kentucky Derby hopeful Big Brown for a workout at Churchill Downs Thursday in Louisville, Ky.
Big Brown is Derby favorite
BY RICHARD ROSENBLATT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — No one knows Big Brown better than Michelle Nevin.
The exercise rider for the unbeaten Kentucky Derby favorite has ridden the big bay colt more than 100 times, and she remains awed by his graceful stride and powerful running style.
ning style.
"The horse just floats over the ground," Nevin said in her Irish brogue following Big Brown's final workout before Saturday's Derby. "You don't feel like you're going that fast at all."
"The horse just floats over the ground. You don't feel like you're going that fast at all."
He just lengthens his stride. It's very smooth. It's very comfortable. He's like a powerhouse underneath you."
35. 40 seconds, Big Brown barely worked up a sweat and walked back to the barn with a bounce in his step.
Big Brown is all that, and more. The colt with three victories by a combined 29 lengths has created quite a backstretch buzz at Churchill Downs.
Dozens of photographers followed Big Brown to the track for Thursday morning's tuneup. Fans gawked at the striking colt, with one hollering, "There goes the Derby winner."
After breezing three furlongs in
Asked if she was concerned about any of the 19 other horses in the field, Nevin smiled.
Big Brown has overcome tender front feet to take all involved on quite a ride. Trainer Rick Dutrow Jr.
"Not after that." she said.
MICHELLE NEVIN Big Brown's exercise rider
is telling everyone he has the best horse and plans to bet as much money as he can on Big Brown to win. Jockey Kent Desormeaux is as confident of victory as Dutrow. And IEAH Stables was so taken
with the colt after his first victory, it paid a reported $3 million to own a 75 percent share.
The horse is named for UPS, a client of minority owner Paul Pompa Jr., and that has generated additional interest. During Dutrow's news conference, a UPS man dressed head-to-toe in brown wheeled up a bale of hay and made a mock presentation. The shipping label read: "To Big Brown, Kentucky Derby winner's circle."
Big Brown will have to deliver from the outside No. 20 post, where only one other Derby winner started from (Clyde Van Dusen in 1929). Also, Big Brown will attempt to become the first Derby winner with just three previous starts since the filly Regret in 1915.
"We're not worried," Dutrow said. "It's all good, babe."
No one seems concerned.
Dutrow & Co. — "my people" he calls them — have been enjoying every minute of this. But the trainer knows he wouldn't be at his first Derby without a horse like Big Brown.
"His talent and his ability got us here, not my training technique," Dutrow said. "Any good enough
horseman can do what I've done with this horse. Any jockey can do what Kent has done with this horse. Any groom, any hot-walker. It's the horse making the whole game go."

Big Brown won his career opener at Saratoga last Sept. 3 by 11% lengths. A few days later, Pompa

"I watched it on TV and called Rick at his house in Saratoga and told him I have to own that horse." IEAH co-president Michael Iavarone said.
started slowly for Big Brown, who missed training for two long periods with quarter cracks, the first cracked hoof on the left front foot, the second on the right front foot.
"I can find a stall for him," he said.
"His talent and his ability got us here, not my training technique."
RICK DUTROW JR.
Big Brown's trainer
When Big Brown arrived at Dutrow's barn at Aqueduct, the trainer wasn't bowled over.
"He did not take your breath
away," Dutrow said. "He looks like he does now, maybe a little bit bigger. We were happy to have a chance with him."
Shortly after Big Brown resumed training, the first quarter crack
appeared. The colt missed 45 days while an abscess healed. In mid-December at Palm Meadows in Boynton Beach, Fla., the second one appeared and Big Brown did not go to the track in January.
Ian McKinlay, a hoof specialist from New York, fitted Big Brown with special rubber-tipped, glue-on shoes at $550 a pair.

Colorado shortstop injured, could be out for months
CLEVELAND
BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Best case scenario is six weeks. The realistic one is a few months," agent Paul Cohen told The Associated Press on Thursday. "We're hoping it's a couple months, but we won't know until they do further medical tests."
DENVER — Colorado Rockies star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki tore a tendon in his left quadriceps and could be out until the All-Star break, if not longer.
Cohen said team doctors will have a better feel for a timeline next week after "massive swelling and bleeding" subside. "It's a non-surgical tear, which could be a good thing."
Tulowitzki, the runner-up for NL Rookie of the Year last season, was injured while charging a grounder in the first inning at San Francisco Tuesday night, and he underwent an MRI exam on Wednesday, which found a complete tear of the tendon near his hip.
The injury is rare in baseball but is not uncommon in soccer players.
Following his sensational rookie season, Tulowitzki signed a $31 million, six-year deal, the largest contract ever signed by a non-japanese or Cuban player with fewer than two years' of major league service.
"He's just so disappointed for his

teammates and the fans," Cohen said. "He just can't believe it, really. It's still sinking in."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Rockies' first NL pennant was fueled by the 23-year-old star's phenomenal performance in the field, at the plate and in the clubhouse. Tulowitzki became a respected leader among established veterans including Todd Helton and Matt Holliday despite having played barely a year in the minor leagues.
He led big league shortstops in fielding percentage, got to many more balls than anyone at his position and even turned an unassisted triple play, just the 13th in major league history.
He also set an NL rookie record for home runs by a shortstop (24) and batted .291 with 99 RBIs as the Rockies surged to their first World Series.
The crowds at Coors Field began a rhythmic chant for Tulowitzki, and Colorado set a big league record for fielding percentage.
His October exposure, however, created a thick book on Tulowitzki, and he had a hard time in April adjusting to pitchers armed with new scouting reports who busted him high and inside with fastballs before getting him to chase pitches down and away.

San Francisco Giants pitcher Barry Zito rests on the hitting cage during batting practice before their baseball game against the Colorado Rockies in San Francisco. Barry Zito was embarrassed by his poor pitching this season for San Francisco. Zito has struggled under the $126 million contract and the pressure that comes with it. Zito has started 0-6 with a 7.53 ERA.
Zito gets benched after losing streak
BY JANIE MCCAULEY ASSOCIATED PRESS
The idiosyncratic left-hander, brought in with a gaudy $126 million contract to be the face of the Giants in the post-Barry Bonds era, delivered an underwhelming first season in 2007, going 11-13.
SAN FRANCISCO — The boos began before Barry Zito even took the mound for the San Francisco Giants home opener.
This year, the heckling has only grown louder.
Zito has lost all six of his starts and posted a 7.53 ERA. Earlier this week he was demoted to the bullpen, and on Friday he will miss what would have been his seventh
start — the first time in his career he's missed his turn to pitch.
Z it o plays guitar, observes a personal dress code that's quirky to say the least and has practiced yoga. The lat-
will be available out of the bullpen Friday for the first time.
"From my standpoint, this is a bump in the road,and it's a big bump."
Before Zito signed his contract and crossed San Francisco Bay, his eccentric personality was well-established.
est turn in his career is a lot to meditate over.
"We don't have a target date when he's going to go back into the rotation — I think sooner than later," manager Bruce Bochy said. "He's had slow starts before, maybe not to this extreme. He'll come out of this, and I think he'll be stronger for it, too."
BARRY ZITO Giants pitcher
"From my standpoint, this is a bump in the road, and it's a big bump." Zito said. "It's a battle. It's stuff that I've gone through, but there hasn't been the scrutiny around it because of the market or the contract. But I've gone through this."
When the Giants open a weekend series at Philadelphia, Pat Misch will start in Zito's place. Zito
Today Santana owns the only pitching contract richer than Zito's, at $137.5 million. He's 3-2 with the New York Mets — or exactly three more wins than Zito has notched this year.
His velocity is down significantly, his command has been off and his trademark nasty curveball is fooling hitters less than ever.
He's been known to pair garrish, pulled-up striped socks with plaid shorts. He's taken special pillows on the road, as well as candles and bath salts on the road to help soothe himself the day after a

start.
In a single off season while he was with Oakland, he managed to play guitar on late-night TV, appear on "The Howard Stern Show" and guest star on "Aril$."
He's used
to being known more for those personal quirks, and for winning.
So far, he has faced the setback with his typical positive mindset and answered every question from reporters.
"I'm not going to get the attitude of sequestering myself from the team, you guys. I take everything in stride," Zito said. "I don't resist the microscope. It's a new challenge. There's a lot of growth and strength that comes out of these things."
In May 2006, the Giants did something similar when Matt Cain struggled, skipping his turn in the rotation once and using him in relief before he returned to his starting role.
"Zitto's a guy we're always going to look up to," Cain said. "He's a different kind of leader. He's a quiet guy. I think it will be good for him. He's having a rough time right now, but he's a competitor and this is not going to stop him. He's not going to quit. We want him to have the same success he had in Oakland."

LAST TIME OUT
Kansas got back on track Tuesday,shutting out No.15 Missouri,3-0,at Kauffman Stadium.That victory came on the heels of a winless weekend in Stillwater,Okla.,against No. 9 Oklahoma State — Kansas' third sweep at the hands of a Big 12 foe.

LHP Nick Czyz - Alz although Czyz took the loss last Friday against Oklahoma State he
couldn't have done much better against the Cowboys' high-octane offense. In 6.1 innings, he allowed three runs
— two earned — on four hits and five walks while striking out three. Oklahoma's offense is solid, but it's a notch below Oklahoma State's, so a similar performance from Czyz could earn him his first victory since April 11.

Walz - it's been an up and down last couple weeks for the Omaha native. Two
Sundays ago he beat a ranked Nebraska team in his home state and the performance landed him on the College Baseball Foundation's National All-Star Lineup. Last week against Oklahoma State, he struggled to command his pitches, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in three innings. As the Sunday starter, it may be up to him to clinch the series and keep Kansas' Big 12 Championship hopes alive.

RHP Andres Esquibel— As reliever, Esquibel was lights out. Other than his eight-inning, one-run outing against Texas Tech, Esquibel has allowed 19 earned runs in 14.2 innings in his four Big 12 starts. Miraculously, his 4.68 ERA leads the team. Esquibel needs to prove why he was moved to the weekend rotation in the first place.

SHAKY'PEN MAY HURT SOONERS Jayhawks face top hitting team in the Big 12
KANSAS VS. OKLAHOMA 6 p.m. Hoglund Ballpark, Lawrence
Kansas (26-22,5-13)
PITCHING
The Jayhawks pitching staff can't look to strike out every Sooner it faces this weekend because it won't happen. Oklahoma is in the bottom half of the Big 12 in strikeouts, averaging just more than six a game, and it is first in the conference in hits. The Sooners will make contact, so it's up to the Jayhawk pitches to use that to their advantage and let their defense record the outs. Junior left-hander Nick Czyz (2-5) has improved in this area of late. He's gotten into the seventh inning his last three starts and in six Big 12 starts he has a 4.01 ERA, which is $ 10^{\mathrm{th}} $ best in the Big 12, compared to his 5.72 season ERA. Unlike Czyz, who will start Friday, senior right-hander Andres Esquibel's ERA has ballooned since conference play started. Saturday Esquibel (3-4) will look to let some of the air out of his 6.23 in-conference ERA and bring it closer to his 4.68 season ERA. Freshman right-hander T.J. Walz (3-0) will take the mound Sunday in hopes of rebounding
from his last outing, when he allowed Oklahoma State's leadoff man to reach every inning before being pulled in the fourth. Still, in his three Big 12 starts, Walz has a 3.38 EPA and a 2-0 record to show for it. He may be young, but if the series comes down to his start in the series finale, Kansas has to feel good about its chances.
Oklahoma (29-17-1,6-11-1)
★★★★
PITCHING
The Sooners come to town with the fourth-best team ERA in the Big 12 at 4.42. Oklahoma has a good team ERA, but its pitchers have also thrown the most innings of any Big 12 team and this has been a problem. The Sooners have relied on starting pitcher Ryan Duke to carry the team so far this season. Duke's 5-3 record and 3.06 ERA has been a key component to the Sooners success. With a thin bullpen, Oklahoma needs its starting pitchers to have good outings to be successful.
★★★☆☆
OFFENSE
OFFENSE
The Jayhawks are probably hoping the gusting winds that are sure to come this weekend will be blowing out during their at-bats. In its last five games, Kansas is averaging 2.8 runs. Its 10 games before that, Kansas was averaging 7.2 runs. Kansas is still getting production from its big three — left fielder John Allman, right fielder Ryne Price and shortstop Erik Morrison — in conference play, though. The senior trio is hitting .323, .300 and .299, respectively in conference and have combined for eight home runs. Price jacked his $10^{th}$ home run of the season Tuesday, which leads the team, but close behind is junior catcher Buck Afenir who has seven home runs on the season and is hitting .292 in the Big 12. Kansas' problem in Big 12 play has been stringing rallies together. Often times, unless someone hits a two- or three-run homer, the Jayhawks use outs to sacrifice men into scoring position and come away with one-run innings. Kansas relies heavily on sacrifices because it's basically a station-to-station offense. Of the Jayhawks' 26 stolen bases this season, only three have come in conference and those are thanks to Morrison's aggressiveness on the bases. If a team can't steal bases, it takes pressure off the opposing pitcher and saddles it onto its own offense. Kansas' 368 strikeouts this season are a reflection of that.
★★★☆☆
★★★☆
Oklahoma is a team that likes to hit and is very good at doing so. The Sooners have three of the league's top hitters in designated hitter Mike Goose, right fielder Jamie Johnson and center fielder Aljay Davis. Goose leads the Big 12 in doubles at 20 and is second in hits at 73. With a top-to-bottom lineup of hitters, the Sooners are a powerful offense. Leadoff man Johnson is hitting .371 this season with 4 homeruns. The Sooners have a very balanced attack and have six of the nine starters hitting better than .300. Oklahoma is a force to reckon with lineup is a threat.

There was a time when facing a base-stealing team would worry the Jayhawks. It used to be up to Kansas' pitchers to control opponents' running game. That's not the case anymore with the Afenir's development as a backstop. Once a liability when facing running teams, Afenir is proving that runners who test his arm are at risk of getting nailed. That's significant this weekend because Oklahoma is aggressive on the base paths. The Sooners have stolen 60 bases in 83 attempts, so they aren't likely to shy away from challenging Afenir. It'll be up to Afenir to make them pay. If he can, Kansas pitchers can focus more on batters than runners.
DEFENSE

QUESTION MARK
The Sooners rank second-to-last in the Big 12 in team fielding and have been known to kick the ball around this year. With 66 errors as a team, the defense has often been a source of frustration. Oklahoma has been letting runners reach base on errors, then has had problems keeping them there. The Sooners have allowed 34 stolen bases on 56 attempts this year and have let runners move to scoring position early and often. Oklahoma will need to keep these numbers down to make a late-season run.

-Tyler Passmore
Same story, just a different weekend: What will Kansas get out of its starting pitching? As a whole, Kansas plays better at home and that seems especially true for its pitching staff. In its last home conference series, Kansas held Texas Tech to eight runs in three games. With their next eight games at home - seven of which in conference - the Jayhawks are hoping that's the start of a trend.
QUESTION MARK
While the Sooners offense scores as much as the football team, will the defense commit errors and let teams back in the game? After the starting pitchers, the Sooners bullpen has some inexperience and has been shaky as of late. If the Sooners pitching and defense show up, Oklahoma can be hard to beat.
OU FIRST PITCH
LAST TIME OUT
BY THE NUMBERS
Down three runs in the bottom of the ninth, the Sooners found themselves struggling to stay alive against the Wichita State Shockers. With one out, first baseman Aaron Baker sent a three-run blast over the wall and sent the game into extra innings. Just as the Shockers scored two runs in the top of the ninth, they scored another in the top of the 10$^{th}$. Once again however, the Sooners got heroics from their best hitter, as Goose hit a two-out, two-RBI double to win the game 12-11.
73 - Gosse's number of hits this season. He's second in the Big 12
20 - Mike Gosse's number of doubles this season. He leads the Big 12
.392 - Gosse's batting average. He's third in the big 12
66 - Number of errors Oklahoma has committed this season. It is second worst in the Big 12

DH Mike Gosse —
UP TO BAT
O
Gosse has been on a tear in 2008 and has shown no sign of slowing down.
Atop almost every batting category in the Big 12, Gosse provides the Sooners with an air attack that makes the middle of their lineup lethal. Coming off a 3-5 performance against the No. 14-ranked Shockers, Gosse provided the winning double.
ON DECK
RF JAMIE Johnson — While Gosse gets all the publicity, Johnson is someone

who has been flying under the radar. As a leadoff batter, Johnson has been hitting .371 and is getting on base, allowing the middle of the order to drive him in. Not only does Johnson get on base with a great average, but he has also hit four home runs this season.

To hell and back
A fight outside Naismith Hall began
Thor Nystrom’s year-long journey into
the depths of the mental health system
BY THOR NYSTROM
tnystrom@kansan.com
Editor's note: Kansan reporter Thor Nystrom was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder his senior year of high school in Minnesota and prescribed the drug Adderall. When he developed anxiety, a side effect of Adderall, he was prescribed Paxil. The two drugs, mixed with the beer he consumed as a KU freshman, led to behavior that culminated in a fight in a Lawrence parking lot, his arrest and his entry into the mental health system. Using his own medical records, police records, his own diaries, interviews with family and his own recollections, he wrote this account of what he calls his descent into the "depths of hell" a journey with an ending that neither he nor his parents saw coming. This is his graduation story.
Seven and a half months before the day I should have died I am in the parking lot of Naismith Hall. I am a 19-year-old freshman. I have just gotten a ride home from the bar, and I am drunk. I have again ignored the red sticker on my orange bottle of Paxil warning against drinking alcohol with the medication. My head throbs, and my thoughts race.
A group of students across the parking lot yell and swear. I walk over and tell them to shut up. They curse me. I curse back. I take a swing at the tall one, and I miss wildly. His friend lands a blow to the left side of my forehead that knocks me to my knees.
I rise and put my hands behind my back and tell them to take their best shot.
A tall guy with dark hair hits a glancing shot across my jaw and I stagger. I scream: HIT ME. HIT ME. They close in.
His friend lands a shot directly into my right eye socket, and I drop heavily. I stay on the ground. They laugh and they kick. One lands in my diaphragm. My wind is gone, and it feels like I am breathing out of a straw. I'm drooling blood that pools with dirt on the concrete near my face.
Soon I hear the sirens. An officer puts me in handeuffs and drives me to the hospital. We're at the counter, and I am disoriented and sad and as drunk as I have ever been. I nod toward his holstered gun and ask him to kill me.
"Shoot me in the head. No one has to know."
shoot me in the head. No one has to know. The officer puts his hands on my shoulder and looks me in the eye.
"We're going to get you help; OK?"
I'm transported to Stormont Vail Regional Medical Center in Topeka via squad car in the early morning hours of October 10, 2003.
I meet with the psychiatrist on a Sunday morning. We are alone in a sparsely decorated room. I take the empty chair across the table from him.
"Why did you ask the police officer to kill you?"

PORT CHESTER, N.Y. — A New York bride and groom arrested at their wedding reception after the bride trashed a set of conga drums in a spat with the band have pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.
The bride was also accused of breaking a speaker in a dispute over the music at the April 5 reception. Fabiana Reyes has been sentenced in Village Court to the six days she already spent in jail.The 41-year-old also paid the band $1,500 for the damage.

A new Illinois law bans smoking in public places. That's taken some of the steam out of this weekend's Chicagoland International Pipe & Tobacciana Show in St. Charles.
The event draws 4,000 pipe collectors from more than 60 countries. Organizers tried to get around the new law by arguing their gathering was a private club meeting. Police and health officials said no.
Instead, a large smoking tent has been set up 15 feet away from the Pheasant Run convention center.

KUJH, students win awards
BY JESSICA WICKS jwicks@kansan.com
The University of Kansas television station, KUJH, won five first-place awards from the Kansas Association of Broadcasters this year.
It received awards for best complete newscast, station Web site and three enterprise news packages.
Dick Nelson, station manager, said that compared with previous years, the station did rather poorly. He said this was the least amount of awards that he remembered the station getting.
"Our individual winners may deserve more than the usual credit." Nelson said.
Sam Knowlton, Lawrence senior, who won first place for his enterprise story on biodiesel, credited Nelson and Rick Musser, journalism professor, for providing guidance along the way.
"It was a collaborative product," Knowlton said. "They are committed to doing the best they can to help turn out the best product."
He said the hardest part was having to reschedule.
"That was kind of tedious, but it really wasn't a difficult story," Knowlton said. "I tend to want to do my best at stuff like that. I was not doing it for KAB, I was doing it for us."
Alex Wiebel, Allen, Texas senior, who put together the Web portion of the video, said it took a lot of polish-

"It ites pretty good," Wielbel said. "It is a good way to end my career at KU."
Wigebel also won a KAB award for radio his freshman year.
Heather Brummitt, alum, firstplace winner of the complete news feature, said it was just the daily routine of excellence in the school that led to the awards.
"It was the repetition of having to go out every week and find a story."
Brummitt said. "Striving for something unique and different and going off campus to find story ideas."
She said that she did the video that won near the end of the semester when they kept cancelling classes. That made it difficult for her, but things fell into place, she said.
"It's an honor to have someone else recognize and compliment your work."
The University won first-place awards in nearly a third of the categories. Although Pittsburg State University had the most awards overall, Kansas still won best station.

CELEBRATION
Cinco de Mayo: under the influence Mexican roots of holiday get lost in U.S. celebration
BY ANDREW WIEBE
awiebe@kansan.com
Stansifer said the holiday wasn't necessarily focused on Mexican nationalism in the U.S., but that it represented a day to celebrate Mexican heritage and culture in the U.S. He said although most
Today thousands of Americans will celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Mexican food and drinks, such as Coronas, margaritas and enchiladas. What they may not know is that Cinco de Mayo didn't even originate in Mexico.
According to a paper published by the UCLA Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture in 2007, Cinco de Mayo was first celebrated in California in 1863, one year after Mexican troops defeated the invading French at the Battle of Puebla. Cinco de Mayo isn't even a federal holiday in Mexico. Banks and government offices remain open, and the holiday is widely only celebrated near the site of the battle in Puebla. Charles Stansifer, professor emeritus of history, taught Mexican history at the University of Kansas for about 20 years. He said Cinco de Mayo received more attention in the United States because celebrations, parades and events were widespread unlike in Mexico.
celebrations in Mexico centered on the Mexican Independence Day of September 16, the Battle of Puebla was just as significant, if not more so, during the fight for independence.
"If you compare the two events, Cinco de Mayo marked a greater step toward what I would call national independence and pride in being Mexican," Stansifer said.

Not to be left out, Lawrence businesses are poised to reap the rewards of today's festivities. Bars, restaurants and liquor stores are all preparing for additional business

Clerks at Ray's Liquor Warehouse, 1215 W 6th St., said sales in Mexican beer and tequila had already climbed above their average sales on Sunday, and the store expected even more sales today.

SOUTHEAST ASIA Cyclone kills more than 350 people in Myanmar
YANGON, Myanmar — A powerful cyclone killed more than 350 people and destroyed thousands of homes, state-run media said Sunday. Some dissident groups worried that the military junta running Myanmar would be reluctant to ask for international help.
Tropical Cyclone Nargis hit at
a delicate time for the junta, less than a week ahead of a crucial referendum on a new constitution. Should the junta be seen as failing disaster victims, voters who already blame the regime for ruining the economy and squashing democracy could take out their frustrations at the ballot box.
Some in Yangon complained the 400,000-strong military was doing little to help victims after Saturday's storm.
"Where are all those uniformed people who are always ready to beat civilians?" said a trishaw driver who refused to be identified for fear of retribution. "They should come out in full force and help clean up the areas and restore electricity."
Myanmar, also known as Burma, has been under military rule since 1962. Its government has been widely criticized for human rights abuses and suppression of
pro-democracy parties such as the one led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been under house arrest for almost 12 of the past 18 years.
Last September, at least 31 people were killed and thousands more were detained when the military cracked down on peaceful protests led by Buddhist monks and democracy advocates.
The Forum for Democracy in Burma and other dissident
groups outside of Myanmar urged the military junta Sunday to allow aid groups to operate freely in the wake of the cyclone — something it has been reluctant to do in the past.
It would be difficult for other countries to help unless they received a request from Myanmar's military rulers.
"International expertise in dealing with natural disasters is urgently required. The military
regime is ill-prepared to deal with the aftermath of the cyclone," said Naing Aung, secretary general of the Thailand-based forum.
At least 351 people were killed, including 162 who lived on Haing Gyi island off the country's southwest coast, military-run Myaddy television station reported. Many of the others died in the low-lying Irrawaddy delta.

I'll just stick to the text that is clearly visible.
Early on October 10, 2003. Thor Nystrom initiated a fight in the Naismith parking lot that would lead to his lengthy struggle through the mental health system. Years later, when Nystrom would walk from the recreation center to his car after a workout, he would look at Naismith and remember
Rachel Anne Seymour/KANSAN
NYSTROM (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"My mind was kind of racing. I guess it is just what I felt at the time. It was like a voice inside my head was telling me to say that. Telling me I should die; that I deserved to die; that I should hurt myself."
"Did you want to die?"
Did you want to die? "At that moment, yes."
"At that moment, yes."
"What about right now?"
"You mentioned voices. Do you often hear voices in your head telling you to do stuff?"
"it's hard to explain. I feel like I have two tracks of thought. Like, you know how you see people with an angel and a devil on their shoulder in movies?"
"I guess in a matter of speaking, yes."
"So one of the voices sounds like the devil?"
The young doctor's brow is tw rowed as he scribbles notes.
"What you are describing sounds to me like schizophrenia. Have you heard of it?"
Nod.
"The auditory hallucinations you have been experiencing are symptoms of schizophrenia. This may have changed your sense of reality, and it explains the delusions and suspiciousness. You have a chemical imbalance in your brain, and I can prescribe you medication that will make you better."
There isn't much time to discuss the diagnosis. This on-call psychiatrist had other patients to see. He rises and shakes my hand. I've given him the right answers to get me discharged.
I had no way of knowing then that this doctor's diagnosis would start a year-long journey into the mental health system and the depths of hell. It would feature seven different diagnoses, 13 different mind-altering drugs, more than a dozen psychiatrists and psychologists, hundreds of hours of therapy, drug overdoses, self-mutilation, a suicide attempt, a weight
gain of 140 pounds and being committed by the state of Minnesota for four months into three separate mental institutions.
It will end with one last-ditch attempt at a self-imposed cure.
I return to my room in Naismith Sunday evening with a black eye and a handful of prescription bottles. With the drugs coursing through my body the rest of the semester, I am sluggish and lazy. My mind is cloudy and my thoughts come in fragments. I am profoundly sad. I brood when I have the dorm room to myself and I cry. The anxiety that caused me to be put on Paxil just before I left for college is a distant memory. Now I can't stand being awake, which is a jail inside cloudy and hateful thoughts.
I become despondent over the failure of the new medication. I begin to drink more. Sometimes when my roommate leaves, I turn off the lights, flick on the TV without the volume, sit on the futon and drink beer by myself in the dim gray light.
I go home for Thanksgiving. I am miserable. I am withdrawn and depressed. I don't want to interact with my family. They act like everything is fine, but I'm different, and we all know it. My mom notices that I am constantly twitching. My legs and arms sporadically spasm. My head twitches to each side. My face is expressionless, but I am in a constant state of agitation. Although I often feel tired, I am at the same time restless, and I lie awake in bed staring at the ceiling until exhaustion finally takes me away.
When my mom takes me back to the airport to return to school, I can only talk about Her. I shouldn't have broken up with Her. I should get back with Her. I can't stop thinking about Her. The negative thoughts have found an unlikely resting place, a former girlfriend. It is the last time I remember true happiness, and I latch onto it.
I finish the semester and move back in with my family in Baxter, Minn. My friends are away at college, and I have no one to hang out with. I sleep 15 hours a day, but I have stopped dreaming; I haven't had one in months. I tack a beach towel over my window to block sunlight entering my bedroom.
I have difficulty keeping grasp of my thoughts-my mind is in a perpetual haze. I sign up for classes at the local community college, but I have lost my capacity to think creatively. I hire a friend to write the assigned papers for me; it helps me pass the course.
I don't work out. I inhale junk food, and my medication lives up to its warning label by slowing my metabolism. I'm growing fat. I go outside only when I have to. I hole
up in the basement. I don't care about my appearance. I don't brush my teeth, shower or wear deodorant. I stink.
In March,
Bryce, my best
friend, visits
and drives me
15 miles to
a cabin party. I
drink until I vomit in the snow. I rinse out my mouth and start drinking again.
I ask Bryce to drive me home.
He laughs as he talks. I think he is making fun of me.
I throw punches before I know what I am doing. He hides behind his arms to block the onslaught. I don't stop until I am pulled off him by three guys. I am laughing.
As the son of a pharmacist, it is only natural to accept the diagnosis of medical professionals and believe the prescribed medications will make me better.
At home, I take out the sleeping pills. Half the bottle is left, and I swallow them all. I tell my 18-year-old sister, Quinn, what I have done, and she tells my mom, who helps me to the bathroom. I vomit for the second time that night, heaving out
the small white pills. They float in the toilet bowl.
I lose many friends that night.
I become increasingly testy and combative around the house. One day, my 12-year-old brother, Will, won't clean up after the dog, and I push him into the wall. Sometimes I ignore my stay-at-home mom and pharmacist father. Other times I yell and argue.
The next day, I call Bryce. He refuses my apology. I don't blame him. I hate me, too.
I have more free time than I have ever had. I have no job, and I don't do my schoolwork. The time I spend awake I think about the past. I think of Her. Obsessively. Blonde and smiling. She is still in town, a year younger than me, going to high school. I want Her to save me. I call Her. She's dating someone else, and she doesn't want to talk. It infuriates me. I become enraged when she hangs up. I throw my phone and smash my fist into the wall.
I have lost faith in the therapy, which
I suffer through twice weekly. They remain convinced that I have schizophrenia. I am convinced. I say I have many voices in my head, including Satan's. I descend further into darkness when they increase the doses of my medication. I no longer remember the person I was just six months ago, going off to Kansas. I am a miserable schizophrenic, and I am convinced I do not deserve to live.
Every night I pray: "God, take me tonight."
I will find out later that one side effect of the Geodon I'm now taking is "depression, suicidal thoughts." In the not-yet-developed mind of a teenager, especially one who has
become an abuser of alcohol, these side effects are exacerbated.
One day my psychiatrist changes the diagnoses. Now I have Bipolar Disorder. I am put on Risperdal and the antidepressant Prozac. I will find out later that Prozac has a warning stating: "Before using this medication tell your doctor or pharmacist of any prescription drug (such as Risperdal) that is specially removed from your body by certain liver enzymes." The psychiatrist doesn't heed this warning. There is only so much the liver can handle, and the excess goes back into the bloodstream, effectively multiplying the stated dose. I am also on Trazodone, an antidepressant used to induce sleep.
I don't understand the clinical jargon, but I take every medication they prescribe and go to every therapy session they require. How could I not? As the son of a pharmacist, it is only natural to accept the diagnosis of medical professionals and believe the prescribed medications will make me better.
My behavior becomes increasingly irrational. I start shoplifting. It gives me a much-needed thrill. I steal sports trading cards from Target and Wal-Mart. One day, at a Target in St. Cloud, I carry two boxes past the security guard into the bathroom. I lock a stall and put the seat down. I open the packages and drop the cards onto the floor.
The security guard comes in, and the cops are called. I am arrested.

Late May arrives, the night of my sister's high school graduation and just when I should be finishing up my freshman year at KU. I tell my mom goodnight, but not goodbye. She will tell me later through tears that this hurt her deeply.

As she walks down the hallway to her bedroom, she has no idea that her oldest son is about to ingest 10 times the maximum recommended dose of prescription sleeping pills. She has no idea that he decided earlier in the evening that things would never get better. She has no idea that a suicide note has been typed onto a downstairs laptop. It begins and ends "I'm sorry."

I walk to the garage and place the rags in the exhaust pipe of the Jeep. I seal it with layers of duct tape.
I start the Jeep then walk back around to check that the tape has held.
I lie alone on the cool grey leather in the dark garage. I shut my eyes tightly. I concentrate on my slowing heart beat. thump... thump... thump... thump...
I climb into the back, curl into a ball on the leather seat and pull the hood of my sweatshirt over my head.
I am content. I've made a decision for myself, and I find it hard
not to respect that.
Quinn, my sister, finds me in the garage at 5:15 a.m., groggy but alive, the car still running. The high school held a Grad Blast for all seniors, and they were released at five. Sometimes during the night the tape broke. The rags dislodged.
Quinn remains convinced that her presence in the garage that morning was a miracle from God.
An emergency session is scheduled with the psychiatrist. It takes an odd twist when she turns on my parents. She is outraged they didn't call an ambulance and have me hospitalized. She threatens to report them to social services if it happens again. She offers me two choices: be hospitalized or attend an out-patient program for depression at a hospital in St. Cloud, four days a week. She insists on an extensive neuropsychological evaluation.
The neuropsychological testing also takes place in St. Cloud. I am administered an extensive two-day battery of tests. They give me a questionnaire. It has hundreds of yes/no questions. I resent it, but I am honest.
Yes.
I am depressed
I blame my problems on others
No.
I hate myself.
Yes.
I think others are out to get me. No.
I have frequent suicidal ideations.
Yes.
I feel like I am alone.
After I am done, the middle-aged doctor talks to me. He speaks very slowly. I show him the cuts on my wrist. I show him the scab on my left hand from where I recently put out a lit cigarette. I tell him I am returning to the University of Kansas in the fall.
The doctor shares his results with my parents and me one week later.
Yes.
"Thor will look very much like a social introvert, have high levels of anxiety, and probably has a social anxiety or social phobia. His scores on the MCMI-III would strongly suggest a borderline personality disorder with tendencies to be dependent, avoidant, depressed and self-centered."
I am smirking. I won the "Class Clown" award in high school.
"I recommend that Thor not return to a highly competitive university, which will overwhelm him emotionally and subsequently affect his ability to function cognitively. He will tend to lose touch with reality when placed under periods of stress. My results show that Thor's academic skills were generally average, but he has a slowed processing speed."
Now I am livid.
My mom looks puzzled. I was

editor of my high school newspaper, always had respectable grades and did well on the ACT.
"Assume that your mind is like a meat grinder," the doctor says. "For Thor, it does grind, but it comes out a little slower. The way he processes information is just slower."
The rage builds up in me. I ball my hands into fists. My face is red. My heart is pounding, and I can hear it.
I stand and snarl, "You're wrong." I'm out the door, and it slams behind me.
Three weeks later, on a bright sunny day in early July, we have a family session with the psychiatrist. On this day, like most, I am agitated. I don't want to be here.
"Thor, if you have suicidal thoughts, will you alert your father?" she asks.
I stare at her and don't respond.
The mentally ill in Building No. 6 are among the last residents in this ghost town that would shut down completely soon after my release.
"You tell your father?"
"No."
"If you have suicidal thoughts, will you tell your father?"
"Then I have no choice; you must be hospitalized."
Like hell I do, I think, as I run from the room and then the building. It is the last act of freedom I will have for four months.
My dad catches me down the road. He urges me to go back, but I refuse. As we talk, a squad car pulls up beside us, and two armed officers jump out. One grabs my arm and puts me in the back of the car. I see my mom staring at me as we drive past the psychiatrist's office.
Because there are no beds available in Brainerd, the town next to my hometown, I am transported via a police van to St. Cloud.
I am put in a white, tiled room with two beds. The beds have metal bars on the side. I refuse to talk to anyone that day. All doors going out are locked.
When mom comes the next day,
I don't acknowledge her presence.
We sit in silence.
"I'm leaving," she says and stands.
Then I start talking, but I am still seething. I'm furious at the psychiatrist, furious at my parents.
On day three, I get a roommate. Jonathan is in his 30s and has spent time in prison. He holds eye contact incessantly. He has a look in his eye I have never seen before; I will come to know it is the look a man gets when he no longer has any connection with reality. Jonathan occupies his own world, stars in his own daily movie. He scares me.
"Do you smoke?" he asks. Eye contact.
Although I insist to the hospi
I look away. "Some."
"OK."
Eye contact. "I have something to show you."
He breaks eye contact to pull a cigarette from his pocket.
"Gotcha."
"Snuck it in. In my armpit. They never look there."
He produces a paper clip and a foil gum wrapper.
"Come here." He is at the electrical outlet between the beds.
damaged. The thousands of residents, insane, addicted, indigent and retarded, have moved to smaller group homes. The state had decided that institutionalization was not the best form of treatment. Just a few buildings are still open. The mentally ill in Building No. 6 are among the last residents in this ghost town that would shut down completely soon after my release. I join them in the middle of July when the grass is just beginning to brown.
He hands me the cigarette
"Now just hold this until I say so."
He jams the paper clip into the outlet and jerks it around. I can't believe what I am seeing. He has a spark. The foil wrapper smolders with embers on one side.
"Cigarette," he says hurriedly.
I hand it to him. To my amazement, he gets it lit. He offers me a puff, but I decline. He hasn't taken four or five puffs before we hear footsteps. Jonathan puts the cigarette out on his tongue. It sizzles. He rushes to the closet and puts the butt beneath a stack of shirts. Two attendants walk in. They pull Jonathan from the room.
When it is time for bed an hour later, I can't fall asleep. Jonathan is in the bed next to me, and I can't bear the thought of closing my eyes. He falls asleep as I lie in the darkness. His snores are throaty and loud. I grab my pillow and blanket and head to the front desk.
"I can't sleep in there. He snores."
The attendant tells me I can sleep in the seclusion room. It is just like the movies—a white padded room.
"This'll be fine."

After a week, a bed opens up in Brainerd, and I am transferred back. The dozen low-slung brick buildings strewn across green manicured lawns were built in the 1960s; a self-contained city for the
tal psychiatrist that I have no suicidal ideas, he puts me in the suicide watch unit. They take my sleevelaces and belt. I wear slippers, a T-shirt and flannel pants.
The bathroom stays locked, and I must ask for permission to go. Once inside, the attendant waits outside the door. Suicide watch patients must be observed taking a shower. I have no intention of letting a stranger see my naked body, anyway, because I have gained almost 100 pounds in a year. Fat hangs over my waist band. My torso is streaked with stretch marks.
We have no planned activities. We read old magazines and fight for control of the TV all day. After a week, I graduate to the next unit on the other side of the building. The bathrooms are not locked, and
I can also receive visitors. My family is diligent. I receive multiple visitors a day. Mom, Dad, Quinn, Will, aunts, uncles, grandparents from both sides. The few friends who have stuck with me come, too. This is a major inconvenience for the staff, because they must check each one in and out after locking up keys and wallets. Their ideal resident is utterly alone and under complete control.
For the first week, I refuse to go the mandatory group therapy session. Instead I read books in my bed. My routine: wake up, breakfast, take pills, return to bed and read, lunch, read in bed, dinner, read, watch TV, meds, bed. Repeat.
One day I read "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest." It gives me an amusing perspective on my situation. I begin referring to a condescending and tyrannical staffer who wears too much eyeliner as Nurse Ratched. I meet a giant Native American with a long ponytail who has frequent seizures and anger problems. I call him Chief to everyone but not to his face. I am told to get out of bed and attend groups or my visitor privileges will be revoked. From then on, I just carry the books with me.
Unlike my three previous stops,
I make an attempt to get to know people. My roommate, Paul, is college-aged. He is nice, but he always talks about the evils of sex and says he has too much respect to do it. He talks in his sleep, but he doesn't snore.
Sheena is a 19-year-old meth and coke addict. Her fiancé is in prison. She cheats on him often and brags about it. She says her mom hired the neighbor to tape her having sex in the family truck. After it was done, Sheena beat her momma's ass. She says she will have sex with me for $800.
Archie is in his mid-20s. I like him until one day in the common room he is sitting next to me and shouts: "I'm gonna fucking kill myself, man! I CAN'T TAKE THIS SHIT ANYMORE. I don't want to live anymore." His eyes roll back in his head, and he shouts words that are not words. One staffer runs to the med room and returns with a syringe while another locks Archie in a bear hug. When they inject him in the arm, the words taper off, his eyelids droop, and his body goes limp.
I enjoy talking to an older woman. She has white hair and wears cardigan sweaters. I call her Grandma. She is delusional and talks down to everyone. She frequently tells a story about how she once got offered $100 for sex from a black man but declined. Whenever a new person is admitted, I tell her to go tell them the story, and she does. She frequently states, "This place is evil," and "This place makes you sicker than you are." I don't disagree.
"How could I possibly get that kind of money, Sheena?"
I say I'll think about it, but I don't.
"Your parents."
With the closing of the facility now planned and the job eliminations that followed, it was clear the staff had one foot out the door. We were supervised, and so long as we didn't act up, we were ignored. If we caused a problem, they confined us and took privileges.
While I see other patients allowed to go outside, inside a fenced area, I am never on the list. I spend six consecutive weeks in the dark, tiled, sterile, flickering fluorescent-lit building before my mom complains.
"He could have gone outside, but he never requested it," she's told. This is a lie.
I am rebellious. I mouth off to staffers, especially Nurse Ratched. I don't clean my portion of the room. I leave books, magazines and newspapers on the floor. I get into confrontations with fellow patients. One night, I instigate a confrontation with David, a homophobic patient in his 40s, after he angers me. I use Grandma as my go-between to send messages to him about how we should kiss and make up. Then I wink at him. David is on his feet ready to "whip my ass" when staffers are upon us and send us to our rooms.
I stop acting up when I'm told that good behavior will allow me to receive night passes. My mom picks me up on my birthday, Aug. 28. As we drive into town, she says I am acting like an alien from another planet. I see a McDonald's. We could pull over and eat if we wanted. There is a movie store. We could pick out a movie if we wanted. We are in a car, and we could drive anywhere. The idea of freedom is much better than the cake and presents I will soon receive. But those are good, too.
The next day, I'm called to a meeting with the psychologist.
"No, I feel fine."
"I can't imagine about what."
"I can't remember in my history a patient who managed to alienate an entire unit. You do know what I am talking about, correct? Is something the matter?"
LAYLAW JOB
"Well to name a few, I was told you have been antagonizing several patients, almost instigated ficticus last evening, inappropriately call one patient Grandma, whipped a patient with your towel, snuck a cell phone with a camera onto the unit, and have made several lewd comments to the staff. Mr. Nystrom, is this how you act at home?"
While in therapy, the psychiatrist changes my diagnosis. I am so used to this that I don't even pay attention to the new illness. This doctor says I don't have schizophrenia or Schizoaffective Disorder, or Bipolar Disorder or any other psychotic illness. Now I have Borderline Personality Disorder, an emotional dysregulation featuring extreme sensitivity and a short fuse.
"I have just gotten done talking to a group of about, oh, 15 patients outside, all of whom have serious qualms with your behavior."
The doctor says most people with BPD were abused. Were you abused?
He is mildly surprised that I have no interest in his pontifications on my illness and his perceptions on my life. I'm done humoring these people. I want to go back to my room and read.
"I already told you. No."
The doctor says the diagnosis is unusual for a young man and calls me unique. By way of explanation, he tells me I have built an "invalidated environment" where I have not learned to care for myself emotionally. Then he drones on about my emotions.
A few days later, I have a court date for a commitment hearing. They give me an attorney. I tell him I'll do the talking. Inside the courtroom, in the basement of a campus building, I tell the judge: "I understand I was put here because people thought I was a danger to myself. I don't dispute this. But I am no longer. I'd really like to get on with my life. I don't see how anyone is served by me being locked up out here."
"OK."
The judge tells me I have articulated myself better than any patient in his history of coming to the institution. He commits me anyway, citing the strong recommendations to do so from my psychiatrists.
They send me to the Regional Treatment Center in Willmar, Minn. They treat BPD with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT.
29. 8/16/04
When I first get to Willmar, I hate it. The campus looks much like Brainerd's, with brick buildings, tiled floors and fluorescent lights. My unit, for those diagnosed with BPD, is full of middle-aged women. They are all emotionally fragile and can be easily set off. I try to be nice and not cause problems, because when they get upset, they burst into tears and talk about their sad lives. For the first week I rebel and refuse to go to group while requesting a transfer back to Brainerd.
The patients are starkly different from my previous stops. Everyone is friendly. No one yells or has seizures or talks about killing themselves or has vacant looks in their eyes. Many come from abuse and do not open up, but they still want to
They allow me a cell phone and an iPod. They give me free time to play PlayStation. They give me weekend passes to go home. We have nightly group outings to McDonald's or Burger King. I savor being out.
In the second week, they tell me if I complete the eight-week program, I can leave. They say they cannot force me to go to groups, but when I call, the clock will start ticking. This is all I need to hear.
Willmar has structure. We are required to go to DBT groups. The leaders in group speak of "Interpersonal Effectiveness" and "Emotional Regulation" and using our "Wise Mind." Some of it is bunk, some makes sense. The group leaders seem to care about us, the older women and me. I am no longer taking anti-psychotic meds, and they have lowered the doses of my anti-depression pills. I start to feel better. The fog is lifting from my brain, and I think more clearly.

I am intoxicated with freedom. Sometimes I drive around Lawrence when I don't have anywhere to be. Sometimes I decide to skip class. Sometimes I do homework. Sometimes I play poker.

When I return to the States and the University, I restart my diet. I don't stop until I weigh 180, 150 pounds less than my peak. I go to the recreation center everyday.

I always leave the rec bone-tired. As I trudge out, I see Naismith Hall to my left. I look into the parking lot and remember a boy bleeding on the pavement. I can see his hurt. I feel it in my heart. I want to talk to him. I want to tell him to chill out, that it will all get better. Sometimes I walk to my car and tears come. Then I remember that if the boy hadn't asked for death that night, he would never have been reborn. He wouldn't have this understanding of life and death and friendship and courage and loyalty and family. Sometimes I want to turn around and walk right back into the gym and work myself until I collapse. But I always return home to get ready for the next day—one step closer to where I want to be.
I began scribbling "L2BA" on school papers, daily planners, calendars and notebooks. I get it laser-inscribed on the back of my iPod. It means Lucky to Be Alive. And I don't want to forget it. I am playing with the house's money for the rest of my life. A man who should be dead shouldn't have problems taking chances and forgiving his own faults. He should be thankful every day knowing that for whatever reason, he was meant to be here.
I am.
I will graduate on May 18. The diploma's text will read: "Thor Reabe Nystrom, The University of Kansas, Major Emphasis in Journalism, Minor Emphasis in English." But that's not everything it will say. That piece of paper will say: Determination. Resolve. Fight. Conviction. Purpose. Willpower. Persistence. Success. Failure. Happiness. Sadness. Life. Death. Blood. Sweat. Tears.
A broken man will accept it. He will look at it and he will whisper to himself that he doesn't deserve it; to never, ever think that he does. But there will be another voice in his head telling him that he has never deserved anything more in his entire life.

Lohan's mugshot used in advertisement
THE BAYER'S FIRST YEAR
In this July 24, 2007 file photo, Lindsay Lohan, is shown in a booking mug released by the Santa Monica Police Department, Santa Monica, Calif., after her arrest on suspicion of drunken driving.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY DERRIK J. LANG ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan is not exactly toasting her latest public appearance.
A mugshot of the 21-year-old actress, who has been in and out of rehab after two arrests last year on drunken driving and cocaine charges, was prominently featured Friday in an advertisement attacking legislation for devices that measure a driver's blood alcohol level before their vehicle can start.
The full-page black-and-white ad appeared in USA Today on Friday and was paid for by the American Beverage Institute, a trade group that supports the interests of the alcohol industry. The ad reads "ignition interlocks are a good idea for" above Lohan's mug shot from her July 24, 2007 arrest and "But a bad idea for us" above smaller photos of people drinking.
"The reason that we used Lindsay Lohan is because she's had multiple DUIs that have been high profile," American Beverage Institute managing director Sarah Longwell told The Associated Press. "We needed to create the distinction for the public what someone with multiple DUIs looked like versus a low blood-alcohol-level first-time offender."
Lawmakers in several states have passed bills that would require drunken driving offenders to pay for and install an ignition interlock system. Under many such laws, the interlock requirement extends to first-time offenders driving while "highly intoxicated" — or with a blood alcohol level of 0.15 percent or higher.
The ad suggested that ignition interlocks were fine for "hardcore" drunk drivers, but suggested they would bring an end to champagne toasts at weddings, wine at dinner and ballgame beers.
"USA Today is idiotic to run such an irresponsible advertisement suggesting that drinking and driving is some kind of American 'tradition' we should protect," Lohan's lawyer Blair Berk said in a statement. "Not identifying that this ad was paid for by the liquor and restaurant industries is profoundly reckless.
"Drunk white businessmen, drunk housewives out for girls night out and drunk wedding parties should be kept off the roads of America," Berk continued. "Lindsay Lohan fully endorses ignition interlock devices, which have been well-proven to save lives."
The American Beverage Institute stood by its use of Lohan's image.

Concerned citizens should vote Democrat
>> LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In light of recent events such as the troubled economy and the continuing struggle in Iraq, there has been renewed interest among the general populous in politics.
It's a shame that this interest had not been there all along, but it is never a bad time to start having a critical eye on those running the country and ultimately our everyday lives.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about elections is that when people are really pressed to make a decision and actually go out and vote, incredible leaders can emerge.
In the past four years, our country has been run by nothing more than a band of buffoons whose only interests lie in raping the pockets of the general American citizen.
Unfortunately for them, though, is that their theft of the American Dream will actually come full circle to bite them in the rear if things are not changed as soon as possible.
When asked by local governments of border towns what Bush was going to do about the strain that illegal immigrants are putting on the governments of these towns, Bush responded by saying that it is not the federal government's responsibility.
Just this past week, President Bush said that government subsidies for farmers are "luxuries," when subsidies for farmers actually benefit the general population by ensuring farmers are not forced to plant profitable crops that destroy the food market for years to come.
The argument for going into Iraq was that American lives
would be saved as a result, but more than 4,000 Americans have been killed in the fighting, and the whole world is ticked off at us now.
I have a lot of friends I know are good people but align themselves as Republicans.
The Republican Party's stance on issues like family values is incredibly attractive and even overriding to many people who would otherwise vote for Democratic candidates.
But if we continue to prance around the world like a bully, injecting ourselves in business that is not ours, we can expect a prison-style gang-up with WMDs instead of shanks being used against us.
If our government continues to implement stupid, reverselogic domestic policy that undermines the whole purpose of our democracy, then we can be sure our political infrastructure will collapse like a house made of cards.
So please — now more than ever — put aside petty differences. We need to think about the survival of the greatest nation in the world and all who encompass it.
When the clock rolls around to the second Tuesday in November, make sure you get up and vote for a candidate who believes the American government should be both for and by the people. Please vote Democrat.
Love, America
Ryan Shaffer, Omaha, Neb. senior

Bill Self deserving of his own street?
As I've told many of my peers, this year's cataclysmic, epic, tear-inducing national championship was the greatest thing that's ever happened. Why not commemorate that event with a much-deserved name change of a 150-year-old city? Why not go larger? I've always thought that the name "United States of America" has
Local radio station Lazer 105.9 is promoting an online petition intended to "rename the section of 19th Street between Iowa and Lousiana Streets to Bill Self Boulevard." According to the Web site, "Bill Self exemplifies a strong leader by exercising high integrity and consistently putting others before himself. His generosity in giving back to the community, players, and fans sets a fine example for what we should strive to emulate." The petition is online at ipetitions.com and currently has 1,138 digital signatures.
Why stop at just a street?
Lawrence has been a great name for this city, but a more deserving moniker has emerged. I'm open to any kind of variation, but I suggest "Bill Self," "Selfsville," or "Championship Peak at Bill Self Town."
CORBAN GOBLE
Anyone who has been reading my columns knows that I haven't minced words about my love for our national championship-winning basketball team. So when the question of whether a street bearing Bill Self's name should exist, another question pops into my mind—is that enough?
But why stop there? After all, he won us a national championship in basketball, which is, after all, the real reason why we're here at the University of Kansas, paying thousands of dollars to ensure our sports ratings are higher than our GPAs. In fact, this feat is so great we should rename the city of Lawrence to be Billsville or Self City. No, wait! Why not the world? Or the universe? With valuable taxpayer dollars we can send up a sign into space: Bill Self Universe.
In all seriousness, if we are going to rename anything on or off campus after a person, that person should have done something that has impacted humanity for the greater good. And all the championship has done is increased alcohol and T-shirt sales and inflated our egos.
Should we re-name 19th Street to be Bill Self Boulevard?
JENNY HARTZ
Of course!
+
ANGELIQUE MCNGAUGHTON
Who cares?
Bill Self Boulevard. Sounds catchy, but I'm not sure that the street name change is a necessary homage to a great coach.
Honestly, I wouldn't care one way or the other; it would just be another street I pass by or drive along.
I acknowledge that Self has done great things over the past five years: Big 12 championship titles, winning seasons, not to mention that little title he gave our boys this year; champions!
When the time is right to honor Self as one of the greats, we will have a better suggestion as to how to do it. Instead of taking someone else's name off of a building or renaming a street, we should honor Self in a way that only his legacy could be tied to the unique tribute.
Self said hed stick around and as much as we would all like to believe it, we never know.
Renaming a street doesn't feel right
BRANDON T. MINSTER
There was a time when basketball fans in this town thought as much of Roy Williams as they now think of Bill Self. Few feel that way now. Naming a street after someone is something best left until he or she at least retires.
College athletics is a fickle business, and no one can say what the future holds for Self and KU. He might spend the rest of his career here, or he might be successful for the next few years and leave for something more challenging and rewarding, or he might stumble and be forced out or fired.
Johnny Depp once got a tattoo that read "Winona Forever," but when his relationship with Winona Ryder ended, he either had to find another woman named Winona to love or get his tattoo changed. Imagine the limited size of the coaching pool from which KU would have to select Self's replacement if he had to be named Bill Self. Wait until Self retires to name a street after him. Old people love that kind of crap, anyway.
JAKE LERMAN
Our University is a huge part of Lawrence, but there's more to this city than just KU athletics. If we were to name a street after Bill Self we would be ignoring the importance of many of Larry Town's very own that deserve street sign recognition as much as our beloved coach.
One who jumps to mind is William S. Burroughs, the beat generation genius behind the books "Naked Lunch" and "junkie." He surely has had great enough impact on our city as well as the nation to warrant his own avenue, or at least a cul-de-sac.
Heat waves off Mass Street hoards can distort and make us forget our city's famed children from ages past; so before immortalizing the heroes of today, bear in mind the great Lawrencians of yesteryear.
MATT HIRSCHFELD
Never have I felt so proud of a town or an institution. The only reservation I've been wrangling with is the root of this pride. It's indescribable to me at this point in time. I can't imagine how a person who cares for basketball felt that night of triumph. I know it will stay with me long beyond my time here at the University.
I don't think renaming a street is the right route to go, but something needs to be established in Self's name for future students and alumni to look up to, walk across or drive through when they come to or come back to the University.
I consider myself lucky for attending here concurrently with a championship. We won, though, not out of luck, but because of the leadership of Bill Self.

Veteran receives award on behalf of Bob Dole
BY JESSICA WICKS
jwicks@kansan.com
Army Sergeant Matt Lammers, an Iraq War veteran from Olathe who lost three of his four limbs in Iraq last June, accepted an award on behalf of Bob Dole Friday night at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics.
The department of special education named the award after Dole for his lifetime work for people with disabilities as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said, "I can't think of a better way to celebrate special education than we have been able to do it tonight."
Dole, who could not be there because of scheduling conflicts.
personally requested that Lammers accept the award for him.
"I am just another soldier," Lammers said. "I am not greater or better than anyone else."
It has not even been a year since Lammers lost both of his legs and his right arm in an explosion, and he is already standing, walking and joking about how his new arm can rotate 360 degrees.
"I picked my arm up off the ground," Lammers said, remembering the day of the explosion, "and I was more worried that I had messed up my tattoo than anything else. I paid $100 for that thing."
Gary Lammers, Matt's father,
said that he never knew where
Matt's life would take him next.
"Matt has always wanted to be of
service in a large way." Gary said, "and while we would have chosen different ways, we have still been supportive of that."
"I always joked about getting blown up," Lammers said. "I guess you should be careful what you joke about."
The KU department of special education is number one in the United States according to a US News and World report. Chriss Walther-Thomas, department chair, said the need for people in special education was high, but the school was making strides on a national level to benefit people with disabilities.
She said that after 50 years, it was a good time to stop and reflect on all the work they had done.
"Each person here represents thousands of people that we could have invited who have been touched by special education at KU."
Walther-Thomas said that Dole was a fabulous role model for the department on its 50th anniversary and Lammers was the perfect person to accept the award.
Lammers said Dole befriended him. He said Dole and his wife, Elizabeth, picked deserving war veterans to help instead of giving each other birthday and anniversary gifts. He said they found him when he was at the hospital.
Lammers said the worst part of the whole thing was at the hospital.
"I hate making women cry," Lammers said, "and when I got back, one of the nurses told me that
I made them all cry."
But the hospital wasn't all bad.
"When I woke up, I had all these beautiful women around me," Lammers said. "I thought I must be in heaven."
"But he said it was OK," Lammers said.
Lammers never remembered losing consciousness during the aftermath of the explosion, and he even recalled telling another soldier he was sorry for getting his uniform bloody.
Lammers has two daughters who look up to him.

CHINA More than 4,500 children infected with virus
A common illness that typically causes little more than a fever and rash has killed 24 children in China, and health officials fear the worst may be yet to come as outbreaks occur in neighboring countries.
China's Health Ministry issued a nationwide alert over the weekend after the enterovirus 71 virus, or EV-71, which causes hand, foot and mouth disease, infected more than 4,500 children in central Anhui province.
The outbreak in China comes as the country gears up for the Olympic Games. But Hans Troedsson, The World Health Organization's country representative for China, said the disease should not disrupt the Beijing games, which start Aug. 8.
Hand, foot and mouth disease is a childhood illness found worldwide that spreads through contact with saliva, feces, fluid secreted from blisters or mucus
from the nose and throat. Symptoms typically include fever, skin rashes and sores inside the mouth and on fingers and toes.
There is no vaccine or specific treatment, but most children affected by the disease typically recover quickly without problems.
However, EV-71 can result in a more serious form of the illness that can lead to paralysis, brain swelling or death. Many of the severe cases in China did not exhibit typical symptoms, and the children eventually died from respiratory problems, which kept Chinese experts puzzled about the cause of the outbreak, Troedsson said.
He told reporters Sunday that while more cases are expected, he is confident the outbreak does not pose a serious threat.
A major enterovirus outbreak hit Taiwan in 1998, infecting up to 300,000 children with hand, foot and mouth disease and killing at least 55, according to WHO.

Freshman hurls 62/3 innings; Jayhawks earn sweep
Weston White/KANSAN
BY SHAWN SHROYER sshroyer@kansan.com
How many times does it seem to happen that a player starts a rally after making a gold glove play in the field? Well, it happened in the seventh for Kansas.
With two outs, a runner on second and the score 5-4 in Kansas' favor, sophomore second baseman Robby Price made a diving catch on a laser up the middle to end the inning.
"That was a great play. That takes the tying run off the board, and they're not still hitting, and who knows what would have happened with the next guy in their lineup," Kansas coach Ritch Price said.
Robby Price then led off the bottom of the inning with a bunt single. One batter later he touched home on a double by senior left fielder John Allman. Junior catcher Buck Afenir capped off the inning with a two-run home run to left field to stretch Kansas' lead to 8-4.
The clutch inning sparked by Price helped clinch the weekend sweep for Kansas (29-22, 8-13) against Oklahoma (29-20-1, 6-14-1) as the Jayhawks won by a final score of 9-4 Sunday at Hoglund Ballpark. The victory moved Kansas within a half-game of sixth place in the Big 12.
"You always start to get hot late in the season, and I've been here long enough to see trends like that," Aliman said. "Every year it seems like we get rolling about this time - once the weather starts to perk up, we start swinging the bats better and the pitchers start feeling it a little better - and we're just getting that synergy back as a team."
While Robby stole the show in the seventh, his brother, senior right fielder Ryne Price, struck first in the bottom of
the second with his 11th home run of the season. It just wouldn't have been fitting for the first run of the game not to come via the long ball.
Not until the ton of the fourth did Oklahoma scratch its first run off Kansas right-hander T.J. Walz (4-0).
Center fielder Aljay Davis was the catalyst in the inning, hitting a leadoff double to left. Back-to-back fly balls advanced him to third and then home to make the score 3-1.
Ryne Price earned a walk, stole two bases and scored in the bottom of the inning, though, to negate Oklahoma's run. Oklahoma right-hander Ryan Duke (5-4) exited the game in the inning, having allowed four runs in 3 2/3 innings on five
hits and two walks.
But Walz' outing wasn't much easier as the Sooners continued to chip away in the fifth. After allowing a one-out single, Walz gave up a two-run home run to shortstop Matt Harughty. The home run ball took off Allman's glove as he reached over the fence to catch it. It also brought Oklahoma to within one, 4-3.
"I thought I got up to it, but my wrist kind of broke on the fence, and I lost my glove," Allman said.
The teeter-tottering of runs continued in the bottom of the inning. Roby Price led off the inning with a single and scored three batters later on a throwing error by Harughty as he tried to turn a double play.
However, Walz ended the scoring streak
in the top of the sixth.
After getting two quick outs to start the inning, Walz allowed back-to-back hits and found himself with two runners in scoring position. Kansas pitching coach Ryan Graves came to the mound to talk to Walz, but he stayed in the game and induced a foul pop out to get out of the jam.
"He just asked me if I had any more in me, and I said, 'Yeah,' Walz said.
But the Sooners inched back in the top of the seventh, ending Walz' afternoon.
Hurrayth led the inning off with an infield single and went from first to third on a base hit. Hurrayth scored on a sacrifice fly from Davis. With that, Walz called it a day and was relieved by junior left-hander Sam Freeman.
That's when Robby Price came to the rescue with his diving nab.
Kansas carried the momentum into the bottom of the inning to put the game out of reach and added a run in the bottom of the eighth. Junior reliever Paul Smyth came in for his 10th save of the season.
In 6 2/3 innings, Walz allowed four runs on nine hits and a walk, and he struck out two in the winning effort. With all the runs Kansas was scoring in the series 39 in all; the most in a Big 12 series for Kansas Walz felt at ease on the mound.
"You feel like you have a lot more breathing room, and you don't feel like you have to be perfect," Walz said.

Laura Bricks, Topeka resident, said it was a great time meeting the players. As she followed the team around, she gathered plenty of autographs on the back of her basketball national champions shirt.
The players then visited the state Senate and House of Representatives. Legislators, particularly the ones from Douglas and Johnson counties, sang praises of the teams and the University.

Chancellor Robert Hemenway, Athletics Director Lew Perkins, other Kansas athletics staff and many coaches walked through the halls with the players.
"It was pretty surreal because we don't get press conferences or parades after winning a big tournament."
"I've never got to meet these guys that I love so much before, so this is a blast for me," Bricks said.
Fans followed the teams everywhere they went, asking for pictures and autographs, and the players were happy to oblige.

Jayhawks hit season-ending split
BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH kbreckunitch@kansan.com
The University of Kansas softball team ended the regular season with another series split, this time against the Iowa State Cyclones. The Jayhawks started off the series a little shaky with a 2-1 loss in the first game but came back to finish the weekend with a 6-2 victory in the second game.
The team had a rough time from the offensive side in the first game. Freshman right fielder Liz Kocon had two of the three hits in the game, while sophomore first baseman Amanda Jobe added the third. Junior pitcher Valerie George did as much as she could to limit the Iowa State offense, but big hits helped earn the Cyclones a victory. Sophomore catcher Alex Johnson hit a home run for the Cyclones and sophomore Amanda Bradberry drove in the only other run of the game. George did force Iowa State to strand seven runners on base, but the offense could not give her enough run support to get the victory.
Coach Tracy Bunge said senior day was a very big deal going into the second game of the series. "The team really wanted to get one today for them," Bunge said.
The second game was a lot different for the Jayhawks. The team compiled five hits and got on base with five walks. Freshman catcher Brittany Hile kick-started the offense with a solo home run in the second inning and junior third baseman Val Chapple followed that with a three-run home run in the third inning. Freshman pitcher Allie Clark was able to minimize the damage from Iowa State's offense. Clark gave up two solo home runs in the game, but she forced Iowa State to strand eight runners on base. She also struck out six Cyclones. Junior center fielder Dougie McCaulley and Sixon added some insurance runs in the sixth inning to cushion the team's lead. George relieved Clark in the sixth inning and finished out the game to get the save.

even bigger. "That was obviously a big hit for us with two outs right there and two runners on base and gave us a little bit of breathing room," Bunge said.
"Those kids, you know, they fought hard, and they gave us a lot, and today was a little bit about a gut check for a lot of kids," Bunge said.
The team finished the regular season
with a 37-18 record, the most wins for a KU team since Bunge's first year as coach at Kansas. The Jayhawks now prepare for the conference tournament where they will be the seventh seed. Bunge and a lot of her players won't be worried, though, because they said through the season that they enjoyed being the underdog.

OLYMPICS Torch travels through China with no protests
Protests are relatively rare in Macau, a tiny city on China's southern coast, and the relay went smoothly with no disruptions as two columns of police in blue shorts jogged on each side of the torch bearers.
Spectators waved flags, cheered wildly and chanted "Go Chinal" as the flame toured the former Portuguese enclave that returned to Chinese rule in 1999 and is the only place in the country where casino gambling is legal
MACAU — Runners carried the Olympic torch past glitzy Las Vegas-style casinos and pastel colored colonial buildings on Saturday in the Chinese city of Macau — the world's most lucrative gambling center.
The torch arrived from Hong Kong, where it completed a relay Friday that also was not disrupted by protesters — a contrast from many other stops during the torch's 20-nation tour. In several cities, the torch run was marred by pro-Tibet protesters and others demonstrating against China's human rights record.
The torch parade here often seemed to be more about Chinese pride than the Olympics. One group of students from mainland China wore white T-shirts that said, "I love China." Others posed with the Chinese flag in front of colonial-style buildings.
Another group held a banner that said, "Love the Chinese race. Build up our country's reputation."

Rockies' Cook halts losing streak Colorado breaks four-game skid; Dodgers win-streak ends at eight
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER—Aaron Cook doesn't consider himself a stopper, but he's certainly pitching like one.
Cook gave the Rockies the strong outing they needed, Matt Holliday had two hits and two RBI and the Colorado Rockies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-2 on Sunday to end a four-game losing streak.
It was the fifth time Cook (5-1) stopped a Rockies' losing streak, and for the third straight start he ended a four-game losing streak. The Rockies are 6-1 when Cook starts and 6-18 in other games.
"That's a title you guys gave me and I'll never put it on myself," Cook said of the stopper label. "I'm just trying to be consistent."
Since giving up four earned runs in losing his first start of the season, Cook has been stingy. He's given up 13 earned runs and averaged seven innings in his last six starts — all of them Colorado victories. He hasn't walked a batter in his last two starts.
"He has a real good balance on the mound right now," Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said. "He has good command of his pitches and he's attacking the strike zone."

The Jayhawks bats came alive this weekend and with their combined 39 runs in three games, swept the Sooners. The 39 runs the Jayhawks scored in the series set a record as the most runs scored for the Jayhawks in a Big 12 series. Throughout the series, both teams managed to score runs in bunches, and the two teams
combined for 68 runs over the three game series. For fans, the Jayhawks offense provided excitement early and often. During the course of the weekend, eight different Kansas players hit home runs,
Alongside the freshman duo, a number of upperclassmen reaped the benefits of the Sooners pitching staff. Senior center fielder Casey Larson went 6-14 over the series and racked up four RBI.

Pistons defeat Magic in Game 1
Chauncey Billups scores 19 points in Detroit's 91-72 victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUBURN HILLS, Mich.
— Hedo Turkoglu's uncontested dunk early in the second half gave the Orlando Magic their first lead. Less than a minute later, the Detroit Pistons took over.
Chauncey Billups had 19 points, seven assists and played a key role in the decisive run of the game, leading Detroit to a 91-72 win over Orlando on Saturday night in Game 1 of the second-round series.
Dwight Howard had a relatively quiet night with 12 points, eight rebounds and three blocks after being the first player since Wilt Chamberlain to score 20 points
and grab 20 rebounds in three playoff games since Wilt Chamberlain did it in 1972.
Howard played for much of the second half with blue tape wrapped around his left hand, seemingly to protect his thumb he injured after trying to grab a rebound.
After the Magic took their last lead with 10:08 left in the third quarter, Billups' layup capped an 8-0 run as Detroit started a 21-3 burst to take a 64-49 lead.
Orlando rallied to trail by just seven points entering the fourth despite making only 1-of-10 3-pointers and 7-of-16 free throws.
Jason Maxiell squashed any comeback hopes the Magic had.
Detroit's power forward, starting again for Antonio McDyess, scored 10 of his 12 points in the fourth quarter with surprising touch on jumpers and free throws.
The Pistons will play host to Game 2 Monday night.
NEW ORLEANS — David West scored a career playoff-high 30 points to lead the Hornets to a victory over the Spurs in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series.
HORNETS 101, SPURS 82
Chris Paul added 17 points, 13 assists and four steals for New Orleans, which trailed by as much
as 11 in the first half but stormed into the lead for good in the third quarter.
Tim Duncan had a rare terrible night, going 1-of-9 from the field for a career playoff-low five points and only three rebounds.
The Hornets swarmed Duncan with double teams throughout the game, forcing San Antonio to look for points from outside.
Tony Parker led the Spurs with 23 points and Manu Ginobili had 19. Bruce Bowen added 17 points and Michael Finley 13, but San Antonio needed more help inside from Duncan and Kurt Thomas, who had only two points and two rebounds.
MLB BRIEFS Royals pitcher breaks hand after punching door
CLEVELAND — Kansas City Royals left-hander John Bale, already on the disabled list due to a tight shoulder, broke his pitching hand punching a door at the team's hotel Friday night.
A club spokesman said Bale informed team officials he had pain in his hand after arriving at Progressive Field for Saturday night's game against Cleveland. Xrays were taken during the game, revealing the fracture on the side of his hand.
Bale returned to Kansas City Sunday morning. He will be examined by team doctors, possibly as early as Monday.
Ironically, Bale was making progress with his shoulder problem and it was hoped he would come off the DL in the next few days. He threw a simulated game Friday and was due to throw live batting practice early in the week. Following Friday's throwing session, manager Trey Hillman was optimistic Bale was close to being activated.
St. Louis Cardinals demote pitcher Anthony Reyes
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals optioned sputtering reliever Anthony Reyes, who has a 5.27 ERA in nine appearances, to Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.
The 26-year-old Reyes was considered one of the team's top pitching prospects after beating the Tigers in the 2006 World Series opener. But he was 2-14 with a 6.04 ERA last year and lost out for rotation spot in spring training. He began the year as a long man in the bullpen.
Reyes has been a starter throughout his career, making two relief appearances last season and three in 2006 when he first came up. He has a 1-1 record and has been scored upon in his last three outings, surrendering six runs and 10 hits in seven innings.

Golfers land unexpected victories
Creamer wins SemGroup Championship; Kim takes first PGA Tour victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BROKEN ARROW, Okla.
- Paula Creamer made two long birdie putts to pull away from the field Saturday in the SemGroup Championship, only to drop two shots on the closing holes for the third straight day to give her challengers a chance.
But that small group chasing her doesn't include the player everyone expected to see. Lorena Ochoa, going for her record-tying fifth straight LPGA Tour victory, lost momentum with back-to-back bogeys and wound up eight shots behind, needing the best comeback of her career.
It doesn't look likely, even with Creamer still trying to figure out how to stop making bogsys with the finish line in sights. A three-putt on the 16th and a bogey from the bunker on the 18th gave her a
2-under 69 and a two-shot lead over Juli Inkster.
Inkster, a 47 year old with two daughters and seven majors, turned in a tournament-best 67 in more blustery conditions, ending her solid round with a 20-foot par putt on the 18th hole after trouble in the trees.
Creamer was at three-under 210 and will play in the final pairing Sunday with Inkster, at 212 the only other player under par.
Brittany Lang, who tied for second at the 2005 U.S. Women's Open while still an amateur, had a 71 to finish at 1-over 214, with Angela Stanford (71) and Leta Lindley (72) another shot behind.
Ochoa closed with six pars for an even-par 71 and was at 5-over 218, putting her in unfamiliar territory. She has won five of her six tournaments this year by a combined 37 shots.
WACHOVIA
CHAMPIONSHIP
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Anthony Kim closed in on his first PGA Tour victory, shooting a 6-under 66 in the Wachovia Championship to take a four-shot lead over Jason Bohn and Heath Slocum after the third round.
Kim, a month shy of his 23rd birthday, had a 13-under 203 total on the Quail Hollow Club course. Bohn recovered from a poor day of putting with a chip-in for par on the 18th for a 72 and a second-place tie with Slocum (68).
Stewart Cink (65) and Dudley Hart (70) were 8 under, and Geoff Olgilvy (69) and Jim Furyk (71) followed at 7 under.
FEDEX KINKO'S CLASSIC
LAKEWAY, Texas — Nick Price
moved a step closer to his first Champions Tour victory, shooting a 5-under 67 to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the FedEx Kinko's Classic.
Price had a tournament-record 12-under 132 total on The Hills Country Club course.
Scott Simpson and Loren Roberts, who teamed together last week in the Legends of Golf tournament, were tied for second after matching 66s.
Tim Simpson (69) and Denis Watson (70) were five strokes back at 7 under.
SPANISH OPEN
SEVILLE, Spain — Spain's Ignacio Garrido shot an even-par 72 to take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the Spanish Open.
Garrido had a 15-under 201 total.

Clint Bowyer wins Crown Royal 400 Sprint Cup
BY JENNA FRYER ASSOCIATED PRESS
RICHMOND, Va. - Richard Childress always tells his drivers that luck occurs when preparation meets opportunity.
Clint Bowyer proved the boss right on Saturday night.
88 NATIONAL GROUND BANK 18
Bowyer was a surprise winner at Richmond International Raceway, stealing a win that first seemed destined for Denny Hamlin, then Dale Earnhardt Jr. Neither made it to Victory Lane, though, because of a wild ending that saw three drivers denied the trip Bowyer made to Victory Lane.
"He was prepared tonight, and the opportunity was there," Childress said after Bowyer's first win of the season.
Hamlin, the hometown favorite, ran away with the race and led a record 381 of the 400 laps in search of his first cup victory at Richmond. Nobody came close to challenging him until a leaking right front tire allowed Earnhardt and Kyle Busch to catch him.
that regrouped the field and gave Busch a chance to race Earnhardt for the win.
The two drivers split Hamlin as they moved past him, with Earnhardt emerging as the leader with 18 laps to go. Hamlin's tire finally failed with eight to go, and NASCAR accused him of intentionally bringing out the caution
Dale Earnhardt Jr., (88) leads Kyle Busch (18) to the start finish line in the closing moments of the NASCAR Crown Royal 400 Sprint Cup auto race at the Richmond International Raceway in Richmond, Va., Saturday. The two got tangled in turn three later in the same lap.
The two staged a strong battle for the lead when the race resumed, but contact between the two cars in turn three sent Earnhardt into the wall.
"Everybody probably is racing around the race track scared to death of wrecking Dale Earnhardt Jr., so why wouldn't I be any different?" Busch said. "But that was just a product of good hard racing and I apologize that it happened and I hate it that it did. If I wanted to do it deliberately I would have waited until the last lap where I probably still could have won the race."

"They were putting on a show for a while, they were racing hard and that's what racing at Richmond is all about — it just didn't work out," Bowyer said. "I told the cops when they were escorting me (after), I told them they better get over there and escort Kyle Busch out of here.

Without seeing a replay, Earnhardt guessed that it wasn't deliberate. But as his winless streak reached 72 races on the two-year anniversary of his last victory, he wondered if Busch would need security help exiting the track amidst the angry Earnhardt fans.

Tony Lewis, a then KU freshman, sits at his computer entranced in the video game "World of Warcraft." With swift clicks of his mouse and precise strokes of his keyboard, he serves as virtual puppeteer for Surnek Nemaya, a virtual healing druid. Surnek casts healing spells on hunters and warriors as they fight hordes of enemies.
The phone rings, but the puppeteer doesn't answer. When Lewis eventually listens to his voicemail, his boss' voice asks why he missed his shift at the nearby Phillips 66. The boss tells Lewis not to worry about coming in. He's fired.
Lewis is jobless, but his immediate concern is not how he'll pay the bills, or that he hasn't showered since the last time he showed up at work six days ago, or that he hasn't talked to family or friends in a month.
Lewis is focused only on the game, a place where for hours on end he can heal anyone — except for himself.
Lewis is among a growing number of young men who have an obsession with video games, which some call an addiction. Camera, like Lewis have
fallen into a daily rut and can't quit playing — failing classes, losing social contact with friends and family, forgetting to bathe and one even committing suicide at his computer with the game still on the screen. Friends and family look for

STORY OF A DROPOUT
Lewis says he enjoyed playing the online computer game "World of Warcraft" a bit
- Extended audio from interviews with video game addiction experts
- Interactive poll about gaming addiction
subscription for
the game
Lewis said that he soon replaced class time with game time. He rarely left his dorm room. He socialized only when his roommate came into the room, or through a microphone when he played with friends he made through
Lewis' gaming ruined his relationship with his roommate, who complained about bright light and noise from computer gaming that kept him up into the morning hours. The roommate moved to another room the next semester.
Lewis quit attending class in early November, failed three of five courses, and the University placed him on academic probation. He didn't even enroll for classes for spring semester.
"All the time I was on the computer playing WoW, and I couldn't even take a few minutes to sign up for classes," Lewis recalled.
The Department of Student Housing evicted him from McCollum in February after they discovered he wasn't enrolled in classes, and he moved back to his mother's house.
"Needless to say, she was pretty pissed"
he said.
After two months, his mother kicked him out of the house, and he moved into an apartment.
Lewis worked at a convenience store for a year. The minimum wage job provided him just enough money to pay for rent, bills, a little food, Internet and his $14.95 monthly
subscription to World of Warcraft. Lewis said he cut costs by stealing food at work. He spent leftover money on enhancements to his gaming experience, including expansion packs to the game, a better video card and new speakers. Lewis said he went from playing 10 hours a day to 16. He started skipping work, then lost his job.
Lewis said that one weekend when friends came home from college and visited, they were shocked. He had gained 60 pounds and hadn't bathed in a week. His friends made him leave his apartment for a day and hang out with them. That night, they told Lewis they were concerned he was throwing his life away for the game.
"It was a pretty sobering experience," Lewis said. "It really hit me hard."

GM workers strike at KCK plant
ECONOMICS
BY MARGARET STAFFORD
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A strike Monday by a United Autoworkers local at the General Motors plant here could endanger production of the popular Chevrolet Malibu sedan, adding to mounting problems for the automaker.
Employees at the Fairfax plant, which has more than 2,500 UAW members, set up pickets in medians and at the gates of the sprawling plant, and vowed to stay out for as long as necessary to get a contract.
The strike is particularly important to GM because the plant produces the Malibu, a medium-sized sedan that was named "Car of the Year" at this year's North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The strike comes on the heels of another walkout that began April 17 at a GM plant in Delta Township near Lansing. Other UAW locals in Wyoming and Warren, Mich., and Mansfield, Ohio, are negotiating.
Jeff Schuster, executive director of global forecasting for J.D. Power and Associates, said GM needs to settle the local union strikes quickly because it has only a 30- to 40-day supply of Malibus and 40- to 50-day supply of the large crossover vehicles such as the Buick Enclave. A 60-day supply is optimal by industry standards.
The redesigned 2008 Malibu has posted strong sales since its launch last fall, as drivers reacting to high gasoline prices and the struggling economy move away from trucks and sport utility vehicles.
"These are going to start impacting volume as well as market share and profits," he said.
GM announced last week that it lost $3.3 billion in the first quarter, due largely to one-time charges and North American losses that offset
gains in the rest of the world.
Malibu. From April, GM had sold 58,126 Malibus, up 32 percent from the same period last year. Sales were up 55 percent in April.
The company had pinned some if its hopes for a rebound on the Malibu. From January through
GM spokesman Dan Flores in Detroit said the company will consider increasing
"These are going to start impacting volume as well as market share and profits."
they hope their work on the Malibu would pressure GM to end the strike quickly.
But Schuster said increasing Malibu production at that plant would reduce output of the Pontiac G6 mid-size car, which is made at the same factory.
Seniority rights were the main issue cited by workers who struck Fairfax on Monday and some said
"It is in our favor that we make

the Malibu," said C.J. Griffin, 50, of Gladstone, as other strikers nodded in agreement. "It's the company's number one car and I don't think GM can keep us idle for too long."
Industry
analysts have speculated that the UAW is trying to pressure GM to coax American Axle and Manufacturing Holdings Inc. into ending a bitter nine-week strike.
GM accounts for 80 percent of American Axle's parts business. About 3,600 UAW workers at five American Axle plants have been on strike since Feb.26.
Gary Chaison, a labor specialist at Clark University in Worcester, Mass., said that by striking at Fairfax, UAW is applying pressure to get the American Axle deal done. The union had to use the GM strikes as leverage because the American Axle strike was going largely unnoticed due to slumping pickup truck and SUV sales, he said.
"Bargaining has intensified a great deal, and I think what the UAW is trying to do is just wrap it up," Chaison said Monday.

Chaison predicted the American Axle strike would end within a week, followed quickly by deals in Kansas City and Delta Township.
But Jeff Manning, president of the UAW local 31 that struck the Fairfax plant, said Monday's action had "nothing to do with" the Axle walkout.
"We would have put pressure on earlier it not been for American Axle," Manning said. "We have our issues and they have their issues. We fully support them and we hope they support our efforts."
Manning said the strike would last until seniority rights were protected.
GM shares fell 84 cents, or 3.6 percent, to $22.36 in trading Monday.

ODD NEWS Bear provides security to prison for free
NEW ORLEANS — The way the warden sees it, the more than 400-pound black bear living in the middle of the sprawling Louisiana State Penitentiary is an extra layer of security.
"I love that bear being right where it is," Warden Burl Cain said Monday. "I tell you what, none of our inmates are going to try to get out after dark and wander around when they might run into a big old bear. It's like having another guard at no cost to the taxpaver."
As for acting as an unpaid prison guard. Davidson doubts that the bear would provide much of a deterrent to a fleeing prisoner.
The bear was first seen by an inmate crossing a road in the prison on Friday.
Prison officials believe they have eight to 10 bears on the grounds, said Gary Young, head of the executive management office at the prison.
Maria Davidson, manager of the Large Carnivore Program for the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries, doubts there are that many, but marvels that even one was spotted in an area of high activity such as the center of the prison.
"I actually fit, because I got in here," said Bramanti of South Chicago Heiights.

Championship celebrations cost city
Despite spending $53,662, Lawrence officials pleased with limited damage to downtown
BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com
Even though the massive crowd that invaded Massachusetts Street was wild with excitement during the NCAA basketball celebrations, the majority of people were well-behaved, causing limited damage.
However, the celebrations from the last three NCAA basketball tournament victories and the championship parade cost the city of Lawrence a total of $53,661.96. The city's 2007 operating budget was $137 million.
The city spent $14,281.84 on fire and medical, $6,400 on parks and recreation, $29,052 on police and $3,928.12 on public works.
According to a city press release, the numbers don't reflect regular city employee wages, but include overtime. The press release also stated the city would reimburse the departments by using its guest tax reserve fund for the unbudgeted expenses.
The city also received outside assistance, according to the press release.
Eve Tolefree, public information officer for the Lawrence Fire and Medical Department, said 29 extra firefighters and medical officers worked each of the four celebration nights.
Tolefree said few fans were transported to the hospital and no alcohol related injuries were reported.
Mark Hecker, parks superintendent, said his department spent $3,000 replacing shrubs, flowers and two trees that were destroyed in the chaos. The other $3,400 replaced six decorative trash cans that were destroyed.
Hecker said even though the city had to replace landscaping, the damage was minimal.
"The crowds behaved well for that number of people, especially during the parade." Hecker said.
Charles Soules, director of public works, said its chunk of the spending financed overtime for city employees to set up barricades and clean up after each of the four celebrations.
Sergeant Paul Fellers of the Lawrence Police Department said the majority of his department's expenditures went towards paying for the overtime of the extra police officers.
"Overall, I think everyone was well-behaved and represented the city and the University in a positive light," Fellers said.

STUDENT SENATE
Student fees increase more than $35 Most of the increase will go toward establishing a fare-free bus system
When students pay their tuition bills for next semester, the required campus fees section will have increased more than $35 from last semester. Student Senate implements the fees each semester to provide services to KU students.
BY BRENNA HAWLEY
bhawley@kansan.com
Fees were changed during the last year to take the total fees per semester from $377.75 to $414.45.
Fees were a large issue during this year's Student Senate election, and Porte said students needed to be aware of where their money was going.
Margretta de Vries, senior administrative associate for the Parking Department, said that fee increase was to maintain the current services of the bus system and that without the increase routes would have been cut.
Porte said the campus transportation fee was $16 in 2004 but next semester it would be $56.
Alex Porte, Great Falls, Va. sophomore and next year's Student Senate treasurer, said fees had diverse purposes. He said certain fees kept the price of the sports pack down and paid for student health services and the Student Recreation Fitness Center.
The only fee the student body voted for was to pay $20 to provide a fare-free bus system to students.
She said the night campus route would still have to be cut because the department did not get as much of an increase as it wanted.
Senate also increased the KU Transportation fee by $6.20 for next year.
Aaron Quisenberry, associate director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, said student fees subsidized services the
University of Kansas didn't provide. He said that if students felt a service was important enough they could ask for a fee to cover it.
"Students as a rule are more fiscally conservative because it's their money," he said.
The increase is to cover rising talent fees of visiting artists and celebrities.
Porte said an example was the $8 students pay for Legal Services for Students.
He said because of the fee, students could visit Legal Services for Students and get free legal help with anything from drawing up legal documents to filing taxes.
Porte said some fees were used for building improvements on campus, such as the wireless implementation fee and the Multicultural Resource Center construction fee.
Increases in service have caused two fees to go up and one new fee to be implemented for next semester.
Student Senate voted during the last full Senate meeting on April 2 to raise the Student Union Activities Fee by 50 cents for next year.
$5, paid for the wireless expansion taking place throughout campus.
The expansion is upgrading services in buildings all over campus, most recently the Art and Design Building, Blake Hall, Lindley Hall and Robinson Center.
Porte said the Multicultural Resource Center construction fee, which was $3.50, paid the entire cost of the new Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center next to the Kansas Union and also for longterm maintenance.
In four years, student required campus fees have increased 44 percent, going from $287 in Spring 2004 to $414.45 next semester.
He said the wireless fee, which is

"There's no way to get around inflation, but we want to curb it by being financially responsible," Porte said.
Porte said Student Senate raised fees in two cases: inflation and a significant increase in services.

Johannes Feddema, professor of geography, said long-term data from a variety of locations would help scientists chart climate trends. Data can be interpreted in many different ways, but he said current figures indicate a temperature increase of half a degree per decade during the last 30 years.
The station has two components. One is the 4-foot tall pole with a thermometer attached at the top that sits on the front lawn of Lindley Hall.

into her house on one condition
— he couldn't bring the computer.
"I had to do it. I was out of money," Lewis said. "It sucked, though. I didn't know what to do with my day but go to work."
Lewis returned to school in the fall as a part-time student at Coffeyville Community College, and a part-time employee at a cabinet factory. He still doesn't own a computer. He gets his homework done either at school, a library or a friend's house.
"I figure I better not get one, just to be safe," Lewis said.
However, Lewis doesn't accept that he was addicted to the game.
Lewis said he hadn't played "World of Warcraft" in a year, and has lost 20 pounds since quitting.
IS GAMING AN ADDICTION?
Addiction has both a dictionary definition and a medical definition. In common usage, people describe things that they like as something they're addicted to.
"Some people would think that, I could see why," Lewis said. "But really, had I given a crap about anything else, I could've quit. I proved that by quitting."
"When they say video game addiction, they're saying there's kids who love using video games so much that they're doing it much more than anything else in their lives," said Stuart Gittlow, doctor of addiction psychiatry, and a
member of the American Medial Association Council of Science and Public Health. "But that's really not the way the medical field looks at it."
One psychology textbook calls addiction a condition that "occurs when a person has become physically or psychologically dependent on a substance following use over time."
Doctors also recognize what they call addictive behaviors. Michael Brody, a child psychiatrist and professor of American studies at the University of Maryland, defined addictive behaviors as when a person needs more and more of a substance or behavior to keep him going, or when the person becomes irritable and miserable if he does not get more of the substance or behavior.
In June 2007, the AMA edited a report on the effects of video games on significant users over extended periods of time to describe the behavior as "video game overuse" instead of "video game addiction"
According to a national survey conducted by the Entertainment Software Association in 2005, the average gamer is a 30-year-old male, who averages between seven and eight hours of video game play a week.
"The only thing that we did was have the wording changed, so that it was no longer' video game addiction', with video game addiction being a defined term that applies
to certain physiological illnesses" Gitlow said.
The AMA also decided against including video game addiction as a mental disorder in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, because it needed to see more research on the physiological effects on significant users.
The AMA's report on video game overuse said that the pattern of behaviors was most similar to that of pathological gambling, which is recognized as a disorder in the DSM.
"With the Internet and gaming addictions, as with all process addictions, the person can and does get high off of this addiction," Camacho said. "The brain is chemically changed, so when a person is getting ready to get active in their addiction — say they're getting out school and getting ready
Tanya Camacho, an adult addiction counselor at the Illinois Institute for Addiction Recovery, said in a telephone interview that she thought gaming overuse was an addiction, and that the patients she helped were legitimately addicted to video games.
"It's probably one of the most recent addictions to come to light, and as with alcoholism 50 some years ago, people aren't believing it's an addiction." Camacho said.
Camacho said those addicted to video games were using them as a means of getting high.
to go home and get on the Internet — their body and the chemicals in their brain release the same chemicals as the drug addict who is heading toward their dealer's house and getting ready to shoot up."
WHAT HOOKS YOU TO A GAME?
Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games, or MMORPGs, have the most addictive potential of any game because the game is never over. Users can constantly play the game to attain a higher level or to master their skills.
With MMORPGs, players are able to choose an avatar, or virtual character, that represents them, or who they wish they were. The avatar casts spells or attacks others at the user's command.
Online multiplayer first-person shooter games are also very popular, and potentially addictive. They put the user in control of a soldier with guns, grenades and other weapons with the goal of destroying enemy forces. Popular games in this genre include "Call of Duty 4", "Halo 3" and "Counter Strike: Source".
In addition to fantasy elements, comparative achievements also play a big role on the potential of
Camacho said the fantasy aspect of video games made them easy to get hooked on. She said that the most common game her patients obsessed over was "World of Warcraft," with a community of more than 10 million users.
video games to hook players. Many games have a level or ranking system that rewards players for accomplishments completed during game play. Video game makers have also programmed in achievement points, which give users bragging rights over others in the gaming world. Some of the achievements are hidden and require great skill to accomplish. These are referred to as Easter eggs in the gaming world.
Josh Fry, KU alumnus and one-time producer for Gamer Nation, a television show about video games that used to air on TechTV said, "Game makers put Easter eggs in there to give users more of a 'hey-I-found-this' feel. Getting them is a test of your skills, so accomplishing it is bragging rights for them."
One of the most famous Easter eggs in gaming is found in "Diablo II: Lord of Destruction." After defeating the game's final boss, players get the opportunity to play a bonus level against demonic cows wielding poleaxes.
The online networks for X-Box 360 and Playstation 3 allow gamers to talk with each other through headsets, and some computer games also have this feature.
Most online video games offer a chat feature, which allows users to communicate with each other as they play.
Another attractive feature of multiplayer games is social networking.
TRAGIC EVIDENCE
Video game addiction is real and personal to Liz Woolley, founder of Online Gamers Anonymous, or OLGA, an organization aimed at helping video gamer overusers by providing them with information and support to help them stop. Woolley's son Shawn had an obsession with Everquest, a game he literally died playing.
"I am in AA [Alcoholics Anonymous], and he was acting just like every other addict I know," Woolley said in a telephone interview from her new home in Tennessee.
Shawn began to play more and more, and eventually became socially withdrawn. Woolley said He didn't have social contact with anyone, not even family or friends. Woolley said Shawn even left in the middle of his brother's wedding to go back home and play more "Everquest." He also quit taking his prescription medicine for epileptic seizures.
Woolley took her son to therapists, but they did not treat his gaming as an addiction. One therapist told them that the problem was all in the mother's head. She finally got Shawn into a group home with no computers, where she said he became more social and took his medicine. However, things took a turn for the worse when he left the group home and got a new apartment and computer.

YANGON, Myanmar — Myanmar's government said Monday more than 10,000 people were feared killed in a cyclone that unleashed 12-foot tidal surges and high winds that swept away bamboo homes in low-lying coastal regions, cutting off electricity and water in the country's largest city.
The ruling junta, an authoritarian regime which cut the nation off
from the international community for decades, appealed for foreign aid to help in the recovery from Saturday's disaster, the country's deadliest storm on record.
Residents of Yangon, the former capital of 6.5 million, said they

Some in Yangon complained the 400,000-strong military was only clearing streets where the ruling elite resided, while leaving residents, including Buddhist monks,
to cope on their own against the
huge tangles of uprooted trees.
"The government misled people. They could have warned us about the severity of the coming cyclone so we could be better prepared," said Thin Thin, a grocery store owner.

"There are some army trucks out to clear the roads, but most of the work was done with a dah (knife) by the people. Some of these tree trunks are 4-feet thick," said Barry Broman, a retired U.S. State Department officer who was in Yangon when the cyclone struck. "Thousands of trees were uprooted.

Plavina video games is a hobby many students participate in. However, some lose sight of their priorities, letting their homework or studies go ignored. The addiction can also lead to more serious consequences, as was the case with Shawn Woolley, who committed suicide in front of his computer.
the last I heard from him." Woolley said. "He disconnected his phone, and he quit seeing the doctor."
On Thanksgiving Day 2001, Woolley went to Shawn's apartment and found him dead in front of the computer. With "Everquest" still on the computer screen, he had shot himself to death. He was 21.
"I said, 'it has to do with the game. Otherwise why would he do it like this?' " she said.
Woolley said she planned to talk to the American Psychiatric Association this year and encourage them to recognize video game addiction as a disorder and problem, and push to have it recognized in the next edition of the DSM.

"It's just becoming child's play to see how many people they can get to become addicted because the more people they get addicted, the more money goes in their pockets," Woolley said.
"When they find out what it's doing to people, they're going to be shocked." Woody said.
She also hopes to pressure game producers to make their products less addictive.
impact of excessive gaming on users is Nintendo, which has loading screens in some of its games that remind users to pause the game, take a break and go outside. ArenaNet also reminds "Guild Wars" players to take a break with a reminder that shows up on a user's screen during every hour of game play after the user has played for two consecutive hours.
GETTING HELP
After Shawn's death, Woolley filed a lawsuit against Sony Online, creators of "Everquest"
"The only way I could get anyone to listen to me was to threaten with a lawsuit," she said.
Soon news outlets were contacting her to talk about Shawn's story and the lawsuit.
Woolley said when she saw thousands of families going through the same struggles she went through with Shawn, she responded by starting OLGA at www.olganonboard.org. Woolley and a volunteer staff field daily requests for help from gamers, some of whom suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts.
"Almost every gamer I've talked
to has said they've thought about it," Wooley said.
BREAKING THE HABIT
Although many gamers have come to OLGA's Web site or professionals like Camacho for help, others have kicked the habit on their own. Josh Decker, Uniontown junior, said he has reduced his hours of play significantly since his freshman year.
"I was up pretty late into the night a lot of the time playing games with friends," Decker said. "It was more of a social thing for me, though. I wasn't playing if I wasn't with friends."
"I know that school comes before games," Decker said.
Decker said his friends would play "Halo 2" against each other on the X-Box from 7 p.m. to midnight at least once a week.
He said he got low grades in classes his freshman year when he spent his time playing video games with friends instead of working on homework.
He started playing less during his sophomore year, he said, and his hours of game play have gone down even more this year.
Decker said when he would feel that he might slip back into the habit of gaming too much, he would set an alarm on his cell phone to remind him that it was time to quit playing.
"The alarm goes off, and I find a stopping point, and work on my homework or go to sleep." Decker said.
David Smith, Leawood senior, said his friends helped him quit playing games excessively. He admitted he had gaming stints that lasted as long as 12 hours, but he always knew that schoolwork came first. Smith said that he left his video games at a friend's apartment when he needed to avoid playing them.
John Stockemer, Wichita senior, said he considered himself an "average" gamer, playing video games for three or four hours every day. However, he said he had a few marathon binges last semester.
Stockemer and friends bought "Halo 3" at midnight the night it came out and played it until 6 a.m. He skipped all of his classes the next day, and missed more classes than usual that semester. His grades reflected the gaming trend. In the
fall, Stockemer, who said he typically received Bs in classes, received two Ds and a C, dropping his grade point average from 3.4 to 3.25. He said his time spent shooting virtual aliens played a significant role in shooting himself in the foot in the academic world.
"I was up pretty late — until three or four sometimes — playing with my roommates or friends from back home," Stockemer said. "On top of my job, that didn't leave me much time for studying or homework."
Stockemer said he's strengthened his commitment to academics. He now finishes his homework before he starts playing video games. Now in his last semester, he hopes to finish his college career with a semester of mostly Bs. He said he's likely to meet that goal and achieve a victory more important than prevailing in any video game — a B.S. in psychology.
"I've got my priorities straight again," Stockemer said. "I want to graduate."
IMPROVED FOCUS
Tony Lewis, whose video game obsession ended his KU career.
now knows his priorities. Gaming is no longer a problem.
As he enters his last week of classes at Coffeyville Community College, he is in a good position to pass all his courses.
"I've got another year to finish up my juco degree, and then I want to go into music education," Lewis said. He plans to attend Emporia State University.
His daily routine is now to return home from work and sit at his wobbly wooden desk. The missing computer opens a convenient spot for doing homework. It is 6:30 p.m.
He opens up a book and highlights important lines in it. He finishes reading 80 pages for tomorrow's classes, watches sports on ESPN and goes to bed at 11:30. His first class is at 8 the next morning.
When the alarm sounds at 6:30, he gets up, turns off the alarm and takes a shower. The former pupeteer of a healer druid in "World of Warcraft," who at one time would still be playing as the sun came up, gets in his car and drives to class. Game over.

sits barely above sea level, according to Asian diplomats who attended the meeting.
The diplomats said they were told Myanmar welcomed international humanitarian aid, including urgently needed roofing materials, medicine, water purifying tablets and mosquito nets. The first 10-ton shipment was scheduled to arrive from Thailand on Tuesday.
The appeal for outside assistance was unusual for Myanmar's ruling
generals, who have long been suspicious of international organizations and closely controlled their activities. Several agencies, including the International Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders, have limited their presence as a consequence.
However, keeping out international aid would focus blame squarely on the military should it fail to restore peoples' livelihoods.
Allowing any major influx of foreigners could carry risks for the military, injecting unwanted outside influence and giving the aid givers rather than the junta credit for a recovery.

》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Why does McCain get a 'faith' pass?
With all the talk about the Rev. Wright controversy I can't help but ask what about the "agents of intolerance" (to use the words of the candidate formerly known as McCain) on the other side?
Wright's comments that the government had intentionally introduced AIDS into the black community and that 9/11 was justified are of course ridiculous allegations, but compare them to the comments of pastor John Hagee who recently endorsed John McCain because he thinks we are in the final days and McCain would make the best apocalyptic president. While it's offensive to suggest that the government was behind the spread of AIDS and that we deserved 9/11 because of the actions of our government, how much more offensive is it to suggest that it was in fact God who spread AIDS as a punishment to homosexuals and God who punished America on 9/11? — sentiments which Hagee has repeated in no uncertain terms.
Where is the John McCain of 2000 who called these people out for what they are? Even as an atheist I'm more offended by Hagee than Wright! McCain has also welcomed the endorsement of the equally offensive televangelist Rod Parsley. Does it make a difference that Obama was a member of Wright's church for 20 years. Of course, but two questions: First, does this justify the fact that the Wright controversy blankets the news while the Hagee/Parsley should be controversy is utterly absent? And second, isn't this analogous to the unsolicited endorsement of Obama by Farrakhan? And yet
again and again I hear people say things like Obama has not been sufficiently vetted or scrutinized — subtly alluding to the idea that he is somehow being given a pass because of his race. If anyone is getting a pass it's McCain — especially considering that, where Obama's Farrakhan endorsement was unsolicited and denounced by Obama, McCain has not only happily accepted his controversial endorsements but he actively courted them! Why has this story fallen through the media cracks along with McCain's recent gaffe that the Iraq war was about oil?
I think a few conclusions can be drawn from this. First, more often than not, matters of faith or religion are given a pass in the political arena except when they are mixed with racial issues. Why the double standard? Second, wouldn't our democratic system be much better off if we kept religion out of it altogether? It's interesting to note that not long ago Tony Blair spoke candidly about the role that his faith played in his policy making. Over there it was a scandal and yet here faith is a requirement. I think faith is afforded way more political purchase in this country than it deserves. Why not an atheist president? Maybe then wed have a president who would genuinely uphold the constitution because they would be accountable to the people rather than their imaginary friend. Would an atheist ever start a faith based war?

Which candidate will take the election in November?
JORDAN RYAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
This November, I am voting for a man who has throughout the years started a variety of non-profit organizations, all of which call into question the institutions that run our lives and are dominated by corporate interests.
Ralph Nader has proven himself a loyal consumer advocate since the early sixties. Since then he has fought for not only our consumer rights, but for environmental and democratic ones as well. My favorite of his many issues (all available on his official Web site) include: Cut the wasteful military budget, aggressive crackdown on corporate crime and corporate welfare, adopt a carbon pollution tax, and open up the presidential debates.
Don't ignore third party candidates like Nader. We equate running as an Independent as crazy and a waste of time, but if you give him some of yours you will find that he is an experienced politician and honest progressive who would show you more results and less tipping than a democrat who still needs his or her pockets padded by multinational corporations.
Even if you believe (falsely) that your vote for Nader would take away Democratic votes, ask yourself if you are exercising true freedom of choice and democracy. Two choices are not enough, and when third-party candidates can only even debate with 15 percent support in poles we don't get to see more options. Don't throw your vote away because you think Kansas will always vote Republican. Vote your conscience, not just whom you think has the better chance. I am, and I'm voting for Ralph Nader.

Obama/Clinton or Clinton/ Obama '08 would be fantastic, in the sense that it would be like a political sitcom. Think about it, you've got Obama, the young, fun type who always has friends over, living with Clinton, the older, more organized one who desperately wants to make sure her roomie doesn't mess up the big dinner party she's planning for that evening. They've got a lot of differences, but ultimately, they know they'd be sad without each other.
In reality, if those two ran together, you could probably cut the tension in their campaign offices with a knife. The two spend so much time taking pot-shots at each other, one would almost think there's nobody else they are competing against.
Maybe the best answer would be to let them run as candidates for co-president of the United States. They could still have a vicepresident along with them, which would be Bill Richardson's dream come true.
JAKE LERMAN
The pre election buzz has, as usual outweighed the real issues on the table for 2008. Major media outlets seem to be more concerned about what Obama bashing terminology Hillary spotted out this week than what she actually plans to do if elected. The way I see it, if the Democrats win, one of two social barriers will be shattered. The lingering issues our country has with either race or gender are sure to falter if there's a donkey in the White House. If to my horror I see another large, bourgeois, nearly balding elephant in the oval office come November, I'll know that we just haven't gotten the hang of this democracy thing yet.

With gasoline nearing $3.50 a gallon nationally, the average saving rate in the negatives, skyrocketing food prices and the collapse of the housing market, America is flirting with another depression. All signs show that Americans (at least those of us in the bottom 99 percent) are getting crushed. As well as this, consumer spending is down and job creation is lagging behind the number of people entering the workforce. The proposed solution has been more of the same though—more tax cuts on order of $600 or less to people who need help the most. This is yet again another short term solution to a long term problem. For another depression to be avoided, whoever wins in November will have to push for a more progressive taxation policy, investment in alternative energy sources and an end to combat operations in Iraq.

Apparently third party candidates are shunned like the plague these days. I'm not sure how it happened, but the popular opinion on the aforementioned untouchables falls somewhere between traitor and egomaniac. Even more so than the legitimate contenders, who never think they're better than anyone else or deceive us.
I'm going to vote 3rd party. I'm not sure who yet, but there are a few to choose from. Of course the front runner would be Ralph Nader himself, the man who gave us seat-belts (Mania! Traitor!). But I think I'm going to cut to the chase and vote for Jackson Kirk Grimes, our resident Fascist candidate. At least with him in office we could feel good about being honest with ourselves.

Flying club seeks to make its flights more affordable
BY JENNIFER TORLINE jtorline@kansan.com
Victor Jara-Olivares walks up to a 2005 Cessna C-172S at the Lawrence Municipal Airport. It is perfect flying weather - sunny, with light and constant wind - and he is getting ready for an evening flight over Lawrence.
He spends 10 minutes carefully inspecting the wings and exterior of the small, four-seater airplane before going inside and checking the instruments and flying controls. He must conduct this Federal Aviation Administration required pre-flight check before heading to the sky.
Fifteen minutes later, Jara-Olivares, a Vina Del Mar, Chile, graduate student, is in the pilot's seat at the end of the runway, ready to take off. He speeds up and charges across the runway before taking flight. Within minutes, he reaches 3,000 feet and is flying over the University of Kansas. He
flies over familiar Lawrence sights. such as Massachusetts Streets and Clinton Lake.
"It's so beautiful," Jara-Ollives said. "It's the sensation of freedom, peace and the ability to contemplate how beautiful our planet is."
Flying has been Jara-Olivares' passion for eight years, ever since he was a flight test engineer for
the Chilean Navy. When he came to the University to earn his doctorate in electrical engineering, he flew by himself for two years. When he could not find a flying club at the

Th i s semester, Jara-Olivares and the members of the Flying Club were able to secure special flying rates for members of the club. The club committed to flying at least 20 hours a month at the Lawrence Municipal Airport, and in exchange, members of the club pay $94 per hour to rent the plane. The regular hourly rental fee is $107.

Victor Jara-Olivares stands in front of the Cessa single engine plane used by the club members. The goal of the KU Students Flying Club is to encourage aviation interest in the community. Through donations the club wants to buy its own plane to further reduce the cost of fiving.
"The only one who flies cheaper than us is the owner of the plane," Jara-Olivares said.
To become a member of the club, a person must prove that they have a direct connection with the University. This includes fulltime students, professors, staff, alumni and families of those associated with the University. Members must pay a $50 entry fee and a $10 monthly fee.

ple see the airplanes up close," Jara-Olivares said.
Currently, the club is trying to raise money to buy its own plane, ideally within six months, Jara-Olivares said. The club wants to buy an older
plane, such as a 1985 Cessna C-172S, which would cost around $60,000.
"I'd like to see the club grow in membership and get its own plane so we can even further reduce the cost of flying and help more people become pilots," said William Blake, Olathe graduate student and vice
president of the club.
The members are seeking donations for the plane, but they are also looking into selling concessions at football games to raise more money.
"Right now, everyone is paying with their own money," Jara-Olivares said. "We are not going to make business with this. We are a nonprofit organization."
The process of getting a Private Pilot License can cost $5,000. The FAA requires a person to have a minimum of 40 hours of flying time before a person can become a certified pilot. A pilot-in-training has to pay an hourly rate for each of those 40 hours and also pay an instructor fee. The prospective pilot must also attend ground school and take a test. The expenses add up.
"How much I fly is directly connected with my wallet," lara-Olivares said. "It's a really expensive hobby, and it's hard to engage students."

"It's an opportunity that I never seriously considered up until this point," Smith said. "I think it's neat that Victor has a lot of passion for flying and he's really put it all behind us."
In addition to flying practice, a person must also study theory to become a pilot. To prepare for the pilot's test, a person can pay for formal classes with an instructor, or can study themselves. This summer, Jara-Olivares is going to provide guidance for those who decided to use the self-study method.

BY SHAWN SHROYER

Rachel Anne Sevmour/KANSAN
Kansas seniors Ryne Price, left, and Erik Morrison, right, want to play in the final Big 12 Championship this year. Price and Morrison have a long history playing baseball both as opponents and teammates. The two first met as 10-year-old little league players in California.
It's a story Ryne Price has told many times. He's become pretty good at telling it.
The story is about the events that transpired between Price and Missouri third baseman Brock Bond seconds after Price's second inning home run against Missouri in the 2006 Big 12 Championship.
"I was trotting around the bases and coming around second, I looked up to go to third and I'm like, 'This guy's right in my way, so if he doesn't move I'm going to go right into him.'" Price said. "He didn't get out of the way, so I lower my shoulder and bump into him. He scuffles back, comes at me, throws a punch and I dodged him like Willie Mays Hayes-Style. Then I grabbed him and threw him to the ground."
The story is also about two friends having each other's back. At its core, it's the story of the friendship forged between Kansas seniors Ryne Price and Erik Morrison.
"The umpire tackled me over him," Price continued, "and the first guy there was Erik. He got him pretty good - square right to the jaw. It was pretty tight just to know that he was the first one there."
Price and Morrison were just sophomores, but their friendship goes back years before their days as Jayhawks. All the way back to their youth as 10-year-old enemies playing on opposing little league teams in California. Their friendship survived their high school years when Price moved to Kansas and Morrison stayed behind in California. It strengthened after they reunited as college freshmen. And with their college careers nearing an end, Price and Morrison are hoping for one more memorable Big 12 Championship.
THE EARLY YEARS
As close as Price and Morrison are now, there was a time when the two could have just as easily been starting fights between themselves. Morrison likes to tell this story about the mutual respect between Price and Morrison before they became teammates.
When the two were in little league, Price played for a team from San Luis Obispo, Calif., while Morrison played for a team from Arroyo Grande, Calif. Price was a pitcher and the way he remembers it, Morrison was the "feared" player in the opposition's lineup. The friendship between them was still in its developmental stages then to say the least.
"We were enemies at the same time, oh yeah," Morrison said. "He thought that he was real funny when he'd pitch. I've faced him probably 20 times and he's hit me at least 10 of those 20 times."
In Price's defense, he said he was just trying to keep from serving one up over the middle of the plate.
"I always had a knack for just dosing him right in the back," Price said. "But also I'd rather hit him than give up a bomb to him."
But there was always an understanding between the two that kept them from taking the rivalry too far.
When Price and Morrison were freshmen in high school and playing on San Luis Obispo and Arroyo Grande's respective junior varsity teams, Morrison remembers one game in particular in which Price homered against his team.
"They were playing us at our place and
he hit a home run and I was playing short-stop," Morrison said. "He rounded second base and I gave him a high five then."
If there was any doubt before that the two would grow up to be close friends, it evaporated in that exchange.
Although they played against each other on their high school teams, they played together during summers for the Firestone Rangers in San Luis Obispo.
"It was nice that I didn't have to face him in the box anymore just so I wouldn't get hit," Morrison said.
The more they played on the same team, the more a certain college coach envisioned them playing together at the collegiate level - Price's father Ritch Price, who was coaching at California Polytechnic State University at the time.
"I knew when I saw him play when he was 10 he was going to be on my recruiting list," coach Price said of Morrison.
But the summer before Price's junior year of high school, he was forced to move with his family from San Luis Obispo to Lawrence when Ritch was hired to be the baseball coach at Kansas. Still, Price and Morrison kept in touch and every summer Price would return to California with his younger brother Robby to rejoin Morrison and the Rangers.
In 2003 they won the United States American Baseball Federation 18 and under World Series with the Rangers. At the end of the summer though, Price went one way while Morrison went the other; separated by 1,700 miles for the next nine months until baseball would reuite them
once again.
However, at the end of the 2004 summer season, Price didn't have to make the long drive home on his own. Morrison was headed to Lawrence, too.
"We ended our summer season and we both had our cars packed up and we followed each other out, so we got here at the same time," Price said. "It was nice having him here because we were both kind of like, 'What the hell do we do now?'"
PLAYING FOR KANSAS
After adjusting to the rigors of college life, Price and Morrison came into their own on the diamond.
Price started 60 games at second base in 2005 and collected a Kansas freshmanrecord 40 RBI to go along with his five
home runs and all-Big 12 second team honors. Morrison set a freshman record appearing in 63 games, starting 62, at third base and drove in 36 runs.
Despite Morrison's successes on the field, there was no doubt he missed home. But having Price there in the same clubhouse alleviated some of his homesickness.
"It helped a lot knowing him out here and that I've got like a brother out here," Morrison said.
With a year's experience in college – as well as Kansas - Morrison emerged as a premier third baseman in the Big 12 in 2006. He upped his average from .221 to .290 and led Kansas with 14 home runs and drove in 52 runs.

Jayhawks quietly stay eligible for Big 12 Tournament
BY ASHER FUSCO
afusco@kansan.com
The atmosphere of an afternoon contest in Allen Fieldhouse is tough to top, and a full Memorial Stadium on a full Saturday is a wonderful place to be, but neither venues hosted do-or-die, elimination events this year.
The basketball team breezed through its home schedule, and the football team dominated each of its unfortunate opponents.
If you're in search of Jayhawk home games with relevance, head to Hoglund
Ballpark, where Kansas baseball has been busy winning its way out of the Big 12 Conference cellar.
The Jayhawks currently sit at seventh place in the 10-team Big 12 (Iowa State and Colorado do not field baseball teams). Since only the top eight teams earn a trip to the Big 12 Tournament, Kansas' slim 1.5-game advantage over ninth-place Oklahoma doesn't offer much margin of error. Only two games separate 10th-place Texas Tech and Kansas, giving the final two weeks of the Big 12 regular season a sudden death feel. One small slip-up could cost a team its postseason berth.
"At this point in the season, just getting into the tournament is our goal," senior leftfielder John Allman said. "Once you get into the tournament, anything can happen after that."
If the layhawks survive their next two series - against fourth-place Missouri and eighth-place Kansas State - and make the
Big 12 Conference tournament, they certainly have Cinderella potential. Kansas scored 17 runs on Friday, added 13 on Saturday and scored nine to finish off a three-game sweep of Oklahoma.
The Jayhawks' record-setting offensive explosion came on the heels of a lights-out pitching performance one week ago by sophomore Shaeffer Hall in a 3-0 victory against Missouri. During Kansas' current hot streak, the team has won its last six conference home games and pulled itself from the bottom of the Big 12 barrel to the middle of the conference. Considering the Big 12 could be the third best baseball conference in the nation, Kansas' recent success is no small feat.
Although, maybe it shouldn't come as such a surprise that the Jayhawks have burst onto the scene of late: When the weather gets warm, Kansas usually does too. The team struggled through frequent rain delays and cancellations, played in
snow flurries, and scrambled to reschedule early-season rainouts, sometimes to no avail. Now that the temperatures are in the 60's and the sun is out of hiding, Kansas seems to have hit its groove.
"The reality is, it seems like we're behind until about the middle of April," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "Then we're finally able to catch up in every phase of the game."
Allman used the term "synergy" to describe what the Jayhawks have felt the past few weeks. Freshman third baseman Tony Thompson said he was just settling in and getting comfortable as a college ballplayer - a statement backed up by his 3-for-3, two-RBI performance last Friday. Hall has realized his potential as a reliable long reliever, and diminutive freshman pitcher T.J. Walz is turning into the team's best starting hurler.
There's something special brewing at the ballpark just south of Allen Fieldhouse,
and there are only five more chances to check it out this season. The Jayhawks will play their final nonconference contest Wednesday against a strong Oral Roberts squad before facing Missouri this weekend. The Tigers will send starting pitcher Aaron Crow, a future first round MLB draft pick, to the hill Friday to face the Jayhawks' red-hot offense.
Kansas will finish its home season next Friday against Kansas State. The series could have major postseason implications, though whether it will be for seeding, or for a chance to make the tournament, remains to be seen.
With the overwhelming success of both basketball and football, it's been a while since Kansas has had a lovable underdog squad to cheer for. That's all the more reason to catch a glimpse of Jayhawk baseball's late run to the postseason.

"I was very proud of our performance," said coach Rob Catloth. "Kansas State is a team we lost to in duals earlier and we improved enough that we were able to beat them. We hung tough with Texas too."
Allman went 8-for-16 with five runs, six RBI and a home run. His two-RBI single late in Kansas' meeting with Missouri at Kauffman Stadium helped secure the 3-0 victory.

Catloth is now looking ahead to the South-Central Regionals which will take place on May 17 and 18.
The South-Central Regionals will be held on the same waters as the SIRA's two weeks ago. If the Jayhawks win the competition, they will have earned a place in the NCAA Championships in Sacramento on May 30.
"It is shaping up that many of the top 20 teams in the nation will be there," Catloth said. "We feel we have made the necessary improvements to compete."

Kansas City Royals' pitcher John Bale pitches against the Minnesota Twins on April 4m Minneapolis. Bale broke his pitching hand after punching a door on Friday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Appearing embarrassed and uncomfortable, John Bale apologized Monday for punching a door and breaking his pitching hand.
"I'd like to apologize first of all to the Royals organization, my teammates, my coaching staff, for my action. It was uncalled for," the left-hander said. "It was, you know, a moment of frustration and I wish I could do anything I could to take it back. But I can't."
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
Exactly why Bale slammed his hand into a door in his hotel room in Cleveland on Friday remained a mystery. After issuing a brief statement in front of his locker Monday, he walked away without taking questions. Royals manager Trey Hillman later said "no comment" when asked if he knew what had been bugging the pitcher, who was probably headed to the bullpen after coming back from the disabled list for shoulder fatigue.
John Bale apologizes for breaking his hand
Ironically, Bale had looked quite good while throwing the ball in the bulpen earlier in the day. Before Bale went back to the hotel and punched himself deeper onto the DL, Hillman had said Bale might be ready to rejoin the club this week.
Now he will be gone for perhaps two months with a broken hand.
One reason for his anger may
"I have to try to move on as best I can and support my teammates and do what I can, keep my arm in shape, which I'm going to be able to do, I think," Bale said. "I'm going to be able to do manuals with my shoulder and get that stronger. It's not in a bad spot. The throwing fingers are OK. I'm looking at possibly four to six weeks before I can start throwing. Again, I'd like to apologize to everybody. I felt like I let my teammates down."
Hillman has not tried to hide his anger.
Now Bale can only sit and stew while healing what X-rays indicated was a fracture on the side of the left hand.
have been news that rookie Luke Hochevar was going to replace him in the starting rotation. In three starts, Bale is 0-3 with a 7.63 ERA. Hochevar, called up when Bale went out with the shoulder, is 2-1, 4.86.
"I've talked to Johnny quite a bit," he said. "John Bale is as remorseful in making a really poor decision at a poor time, especially with his pitching hand, as anybody I've ever managed. He's killing himself right now. We met for over 40 minutes today. We've met two or three different times since the incident. It unfortunate. Hopefully, the bone heals up as quickly as possible. Hopefully he doesn't miss any more time than necessary."

Senior linebacker Mike River puts a hit on junior running back Angus Qugley during the spring football game April 14. Clint Bower, former co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach, will replace former defensive coordinator Bill Young.
Current staffer takes over as defensive coordinator
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
The mastermind may be gone,
but his protégé remains.
Bill Young, who coordinated Kansas' defense for six seasons, left for a job at the University of Miami soon after the Jayhawks' Orange Bowl victory, Kansas turned to codefensive coordinator and safeties coach Clint Bowen to replace its departed defensive gun - a move
from a distinguished veteran to a young coach who is just more than a decade removed from his playing days at Kansas.
Senior outside linebacker Mike Rivera
"We have been grooming Clint to take over as defensive coordinator here."
"We have been grooming Clint to take over as defensive coordinator here," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "A lot of things you saw on the field last year were not only Bill Young's stuff, but Clint
of layhawk football. Last season, Kansas allowed an average of 317 yards per game, the second best total in the program's past 25 years. For just the second time in 60 seasons, Kansas yielded fewer than 100 rushing yards per game.
said he thought the swap could help the Javhaws,
"Coach Bowen is young and he has a lot of energy," Rivera said. "He talks to us on a little bit of a different level, but we all like it. He's a great coach - he knows what he's talking about and he knows his schemes."
MARK MANGINO Kansas coach
During his two seasons as codefensive coordinator, Bowen helped piece together two of the best defenses in the recent history
Bowen's schemes constituted much of Kansas' defensive game plan during the past two seasons. Rivera said Bowen hadn't made any wholesale changes to the defense, and those fundamentals were still a major point of emphasis under Bowen's watch.
Bowen's,
too. He's
had a major
impact on our
defense."
Bowen's task should be made easier by the return of last year's start
linebackers. Rivera, senior outside linebacker James Holt, and senior middle linebacker Joe Mortensen, provided a solid foundation for last season's defense, leaving the coaching staff more worried about finding adequate reserves than filling holes in the starting lineup.
Mortensen earned All-Big 12 first team recognition last year and finished second in the conference in tackles-for-loss. Rivera successfully made the switch from middle linebacker to outside linebacker by slimming down and becoming a pass-rushing force. Holt put a bit of weight onto his 6-foot-3 frame and served as the team's best linebacker in pass-coverage.
Thanks to the team's depth at linebacker, Bowen could have the

ability to use multiple packages to fit different in-game situations. In the spring game, sophomore strong safety Olaitan Oguntodu settled in at outside linebacker during some plays to offer some pass-rushing help. Sophomore linebackers Drew Dudley and Justin Springer saw time as true freshmen in 2007, and could contribute on special teams and as late-game defensive substitutions.

New letter describes protest rules
BY EDDIE PELLS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — With the Beijing Games less than 100 days away, the International Olympic Committee clarified its protest rules Monday, saying that athletes' external appearance, clothing and gestures would be scrutinized in China.
The IOC sent a six-point letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, to the national Olympic federations in response to their request for interpretations of Rule 51.3 of the Olympic charter. That rule states "no kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas."

The letter expanded on the rule, saying: "The conduct of participants at all sites, areas and venues includes all actions, reactions, attitudes or manifestations of any kind by a person or group of persons, including but not limited to their look, external appearance, clothing, gestures, and written or oral statements."

Contestants compete in the 500-meter race at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Oklahoma City in April, Oklahoma City is still a "Dust Bowl" town to many, decades after John Steinbeck immortalized the plight of Okies in "The Grapes of Wrath." But local business leaders hope Oklahoma's first permanent major-league pro sports franchise will change the way people think about the state.
Dust Bowl image disappears makes way for NBA franchise
BY MURRAY EVANS ASSOCIATED PRESS
OKLAHOMA CITY - Even the mayor admits this is a town with an image problem.
When people think of Oklahoma City, they harken back to the 1995 federal building bombing that killed 168 people or a massive tornado four years later that killed 44. Decades after John Steinbeck immortalized the plight of Okinies in "The Grapes of Wrath," Oklahoma City is still a "Dust Bowl" town to many.
people think about the area.
NBA owners voted last month to allow the Seattle SuperSonics to come to Oklahoma City, paving the way for it to take residence no later than 2010 in an arena that is the centerpiece of an urban renaissance.
"That Dust Bowl image has been ingrained in people's minds," said Roy Williams, the president of the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce. "I don't know that you ever eliminate it, but what you can do is expand it and you can say, 'Yeah, that happened, but now all this is happening.'
But civic and business leaders here hope Oklahoma's first permanent major-league sports franchise will finally change the way
"We have allowed ourselves to be branded by negativity, by disasters," Mayor Mick Cornett said. "We need positive imagery connected with Oklahoma City."
"You can't erase history, but you can certainly write the new history, and I think that is what is going on in this community."
That Oklahoma City could support a major-league franchise seemed improbable less than 20
years ago, when downtown activity mostly ceased at the end of the business day and entertainment options were minimal.
Then developers and city leaders conceived an idea to turn an aging warehouse district adjacent to downtown into an entertainment destination.
The first restaurant in Bricktown opened in 1988 but growth didn't pick up until voters narrowly approved a temporary one-cent sales tax five years later to refurbish the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds, upgrade the Civic Center Music Hall, build a Triple-A baseball stadium and construct a canal that runs through Bricktown.
Just south of downtown, three dams were created to fill a riverbed typically so dry that locals used to joke it was the only river that needed mowing.

Flyers-Penguins rivalry likely to intensify in playoffs
BY ALAN ROBINSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — Evgeni Malkin, the Pittsburgh Penguins' Russian-born star, remains a man of few words as he learns English and its tricky nuances.
One subject, though, gets him talking: the Philadelphia Flyers, the opponent the 21-year-old Malkin already loves to hate.
Malkin, the NHL's second-leading scorer and MVP finalist still talks about the 8-2 loss in Philadelphia on Dec.11, how the Flyers bullied the Penguins and
got them off their game by inducing fights. In an additional indignity, he remembers popcorn being dumped on the Penguins' bench by rowdy fans.
"That's one of the teams that it's really not a pleasure to play against," Malkin said. "I really don't like playing against them. I don't like that team."
Most Penguins fans haven't liked the Flyers for 41 years, or since the two expansion franchises joined the NHL in 1967. Their rivalry has been a long, lively and occasionally bloody one.
This season, for example,
Malkin received a nasty cut on his left cheek from the skate of the Flyers' Mike Richards on March 16, and the two teams began fighting less than a minute into their April 2 game in Pittsburgh.
Now, the in-state rivalry is taking a previously unseen turn as the Flyers and Penguins met in a conference final for the first time. With the winner advancing to play for the Stanley Cup, the Eastern Conference finals that start Friday in Pittsburgh are certain to be competitive, contentious and colorful.
"It's going to be a battle," Penguins forward Ryan Malone
said. "It's going to be fun and, as a hockey player, you want to play in and be a part of."
Feisty and fractious? That, too. This season alone, there have been accusations or insinuations of running up the score, diving and even game dumping.

KENTUCKY DERBY
Euthanized second-place horse creates controversy
BY JEFFREY MCMURRAY ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEXINGTON, Ky. — The trainer of euthanized filly Eight Belles adamantly defended the way jockey Gabriel Saez handled the Kentucky
Derby runner-up.
In an interview with The Associated Press on Monday, Larry Jones said Saez applied the whip only to prevent Eight Belles from crashing into the rail.
"Thisilly in every race has tried
to drift toward the rail," Jones said. "It's her comfort zone, and Gabriel knows this. This kid made every move the right move, and I hate it that they're wanting to jump down his throat. He did not try to abuse that horse to make her
run faster. He knew he was second best, that she wasn't going to catch Big Brown."
Jones spoke while traveling from Churchill Downs to Delaware with his other prized filly, Kentucky Oaks winner Proud Spell. Jones is

scheduled to have a news conference Tuesday morning near the paddock at Delaware Park.

Kentucky Derby hopeful Eight Belles, with jockey Gabriel Saez, works out on the Churchill Downs track Sunday in Louisville, Ky. The horse finished second in the competition. It was euthanized on the track after it broke both front ankles in the race.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals called for Saez to be suspended, contending he should have noticed an injury and pulled the horse up rather than applied the whip. The organization also announced plans to protest the Kentucky Horse Racing Authority on Tuesday, arguing for major changes, including a ban on using the whip or racing horses younger than 3.
Calls Monday to the racing authority were not immediately returned.
The Humane Society of the United States also weighed in Monday, arguing that horses are becoming more fragile because they're being bred for speed, not durability.
"There are problems coming to light more than ever — problems related to breeding," said Wayne Pacelle, Humane Society president. "Breeding too many horses, and waiting for someone else to clean up the problem. And breeding them for body characteristics that make these animals vulnerable to breakdowns, especially those spindly legs on top of these stout torsos."
Larry Bramlage, the on-call veterinarian at Churchill Downs during the Derby, was in surgery Monday and not immediately available to respond.
Eight Belles broke both front ankles while galloping out a quarter-mile past the finish line and
was euthanized on the track.
Jones said he had watched the race from various angles and found that not only did Saez do nothing wrong, but everything right.
"We're putting him on multimillion-dollar horses, and I think this kid represented our business as professionally as could be run," he said. "If I were to run in the Derby tomorrow, I'd put him right back on my horse."
Jones acknowledged changes could be made to make the sport safer, although he is doubtful any would have saved his filly from what he called a freak injury.
Stewards could, for example, mandate lighter whips or riding crops, Jones said. However, he said his training program took great care to make sure no horse was abused, even in a rush for the finish.
"My horses don't come back from races with welts on their body," Jones said. "Very seldom do we find a mark on these horses. I don't think we need to make (the whips) out of foam rubber, but you could get to a happy medium where you know it's not going to hurt them and the horse would still know what you want them to do."
Jones said some of his horses didn't respond to the whip at all. In fact, this year Jones petitioned officials at Oaklawn Park in Arkansas to let him send out a jockey without one. Jones' petition was accepted despite initial concern the jockey wouldn't be able to control the horse.
MLB
Cardinals hitter hopes to join regular lineup after big turnaround
BY R.B. FALLSTROM
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — In one sense, Adam Kennedy is fast putting a dismal 2007 behind him with clutch defensive play at second base and timely hitting.
"You know what he is now, he's the player he's been his whole career," St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "He's a winning player."
Yet Kennedy is still waiting for the day when La Russa will become a believer and makes him an everyday lineup fixture. Kennedy was batting. 329 heading into an eight-game trip for the surprise NL Central leaders after getting two hits, two walks and two RBIs in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Cubs, yet he started only four games in a 6-3 homestand.
The left-handed hitting Kennedy is 5-for-11 against left-handers, but Aaron Miles and lately Brendan Ryan have been getting those starts. He's hitting .311 against right-handers, but has had to share starts with the switch-hitting Miles.
"I'd like to be in there against righties every day first," Kennedy said. "We'll start with that."
The last statistic is the most interesting, given pitchers don't want to face No. 3 hitter Albert Pujols with runners on base. Kennedy walked in the first and again in the fourth on Sunday night, the second pass setting the table for Pujols' two-run, go-ahead double, and also walked and scored during a three-run first inning against Reds rookie Johnny Cueto on Tuesday from the No. 2 slot.
La Russia said Kennedy probably earned a second straight start on Monday night at Colorado and right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez. He's been very productive in the second spot in the lineup, going 4-for-6 with two RBIs, three runs scored and three walks.
Pujols led the major leagues with 33 walks, drawing at least one in eight straight games before Saturday, while batting .358 with a major league-high .518 on-base percentage.
"It's an important slot because of Albert and people pitching around him," Kennedy said. "Maybe they're trying so hard to throw it right down the middle. Sometimes it's the hardest play."
The hardest thing for the 32-year-old Kennedy is that last season, the first of a three-year free agent deal, was so poor it provided an opening for Miles and Ryan to make a case for themselves. Kennedy, a career .275 hitter and
a key member of the Angels' 2002 World Series championship team, batted only .219 with 18 RBIs in 87 games with mediocre defensive play to boot before undergoing season-ending knee surgery in mid-August.

FRIENDS (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
As for Price, a wrist injury limited him to only 22 games during the regular season. Nevertheless, he racked up nine home runs and 33 RBI in his sparse playing time and when the postseason rolled around he was at his best.
In the first three games of the Big 12 Championship, Price was 4-for-6 with three runs, two RBI and the fateful home run in Kansas' 4-3 victory against Missouri. As a result of his scuffle at third with Bond, Price was ejected from the game and suspended from playing in the title game.
In Price's absence, Morrison
whod already gone 4-for-11 in the tournament with two home runs against Oklahoma State entering the title game - continued to swing a hot bat, going 2-for-5 with a run and two RBI as Kansas defeated Nebraska. 9-7, for its first ever Big 12 Championship.
The duo continued to rake in the NCAA West Regional with three home runs and five RBI between the two of them, even though Kansas dropped two of three games in the regional.

we were yet." Morrison said
FINDING THEIR PLACES
Price and Morrison may have taken a backseat to the senior class in 2006, but in 2007 the Kansas roster was nearly devoid of senior leadership and Price and Morrison were looked upon to lead the team as juniors.
The season began with optimism. After playing his first two seasons at third - where he committed 48 errors - Morrison moved to his natural position at shortstop to form a double play combination with Price, who was still at second base. Expectations were high for Price and Morrison, who combined for 23 home runs the year before as sophomores. However, the season ended in disappointment.
Kansas had four stretches where it lost at least three consecutive games. The Jayhawks had one stretch in particular where they went 8-20. Kansas finished 28-30 overall, its first losing season since 2002.
In reality, the lackluster season was a result of poor pitching and a depleted as well as inexperienced batting lineup. But it was Price and Morrison who took the season the hardest.
"The thing that was the hardest to deal with was the fact that we were just losing all the time." Price said. "Wed lose by a run, wed blow a lead in the eighth, wed have guys in scoring position with no outs and just couldn't get it done."
While Morrison cut his errors to 10 at shortstop, his home runs also dropped to seven. Morrison admitted that with the lack of power bats in the lineup he felt himself pressing at times to get the big hit.
In mid-April in a series at Texas Tech, Morrison's frustrations reached a climax.
Kansas trailed Texas Tech 1-0 in the ninth in the first game of the series when Morrison hit a two-out single. However, he was called out at second attempting to stretch the hit into a double. From his perspective he was safe, so he gave the umpire a piece of his mind, which included a couple magic words that
resulted in his suspension from the second game of the series.
"I've got to at least get thrown out of one game in my college career," Morrison said. "I've always been kind of a hathead and fly off the handle. I've said a lot worse to umpires than that and nothing's ever happened, but I guess he didn't like me too much."
ond base, but there was nothing ne could do but tough it out.
Still, aggravation got the best of him, too.
The weekend after the Texas Tech series, Kansas was playing at Oklahoma and Price finally became fed up playing second base. It happened after a muffed double play exchange between Price and Morrison. The ball was hit to Morrison and Price thought Morrison would turn the double play by himself, but Morrison thought Price was headed to the bag, so he flipped the ball to second. Both Price and Morrison watched, frozen, as the ball fell despairingly to the ground between them.
"After that, I came in and I was like, 'I'm done playing second base after this year.' Price said.
But Morrison's struggles were nothing compared to Price.'

FINAL SEASON HOPES
Despite leading the team with 10 home runs and a .956 OPS, his 62 strikeouts - which tied a single season record - and 19 errors at second base seemed to be the only numbers outsiders paid attention to.
While it's had its ups and downs, this year has been much less gruel.
Price's bat was far too valuable to be taken out of the lineup and putting anyone else at second base would have made Kansas' offense even more anemic. So Price, who was a catcher in high school, may have been out of position at sec-

Individually, Price now holds the Kansas all-time home run record with 35 in his career while Morrison is second on the all-time list with 30. Before the season, when both players were tied with 24 career homers, Morrison said he wasn't going to let Price beat him, so he's still holding out hope that he'll catch him.
"We've still got a couple series left and anything can happen," Morrison said.
Still, Morrison is holding his own with a .487 slugging percentage and a team-leading 12 stolen bases. Meanwhile, Price has made a successful transition to right field, where he's yet to commit an error and has displayed a rocket arm. At the plate, he leads Kansas with 11 home runs, 57 RBI and a .584 slugging percentage.
With the numbers they're both putting up, there's a good chance each will be drafted in this June's MLB First-Year Player Draft. Last year Morrison was drafted in the 49th round by the Pittsburgh Pirates, but he returned to Kansas to prove he was better than a 49th-round pick and to take the Jayhawks back to the postseason.
"Looking at it, it kind of makes you mad," Price said. "I've never been drafted and I'm sure there's a lot of scouts who don't like me, but hopefully there's one out there who will give me a chance to play after this."
As for Price, he said part of him felt like he'd underachieved his first three years at Kansas, but now that he's put himself in position to be drafted he feels like he's validated his Kansas career.
Neither senior is getting ahead of himself, though. Both Price and Morrison realize that anything short of reaching the Big 12 Championship this season will be deemed another disappointment in their eyes.
"Our ultimate goal is to make a regional," Morrison said. "Now what we're trying to do is finish this thing on a positive note and get ourselves in the Big 12 tournament and keep rolling through there. Once you get there anything can happen."
Indeed. Nobody knows more about the unpredictability of the Big 12 Championship than Ryne Price and Erik Morrison and both are looking for a new story to tell.

Piles of left-behind books clutter a study table inside the Watson Library stacks. Regina Kuhmann, a service desk assistant at Watson, said that the library gets much busier during finals." This time of year everyone returns their books," Kuhmann said.
Libraries prepare for finals rush
As finals week approaches, students are filling the campus libraries in search of a quiet place to study. Both Watson and Anschutz will extend their hours during finals week to accommodate students. The libraries will also try to ease students' studying with cocoa, coffee and lemonade. Rebecca Smith, KU libraries director of public relations, said the libraries see a definite increase in students during finals.

GENERATION DEBT
SOME CREDIT COUNSELORS THINK TODAY'S STUDENTS WILL HAVE MORE DEBT THAN ANY GENERATION SINCE WWII
TAX LAW
BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com
Adding in the compounding interest on his unsubsidized loans, the Independence junior figures he will owe about $288,000 when he begins his career as a dentist in 2011.
Kolby Lanning has borrowed $55,000 in student loans to finance his first three years at the University of Kansas. He will have borrowed $200,000 more by the time he completes his senior year and dental school at the University of Missouri at Kansas City, Mo.
A growing dependence on borrowing from private lenders has compounded the situation as these lenders make it easy to get larger loans that come with higher-interest rates than federally insured loans. Private lenders are now becoming harder to find as the economy and new federal legislation are forcing a growing number of them to suspend their student loan programs.
“It's hard to believe your debt can add up that much in such a short amount of time,” Lanning said. “I guess I never really took the interest into consideration.”
As college tuition and living costs continue on a steady, upward spiral, Lanning will graduate into what some credit counselors are calling "Generation Debt," which is made up of students who financed their college educations by taking out ever-increasing amounts of student loans.
According to the KU Office of Financial Aid, the accumulated student loan debt the average KU student carried after graduation grew from about $13,700 in 1996 to more than $20,000 in 2007. The report does not include private loan debt.
Robert Baker, Lawrence credit counselor for the Housing and Credit Counseling Institute, said the increase in student borrowing was one of the reasons "a lot of people think this generation will have more
The College Board reports that private borrowing made up about 25 percent of student loans in 2007 — up from 6 percent in 1997.
A growing number of students are maxing out what they can borrow from government loan programs and are turning to private lenders to foot the rest of the bill, Baker said.
debt than any generation since World War II."
"Students in today's society have a 'buy now, pay later' approach," he said. "There's a reason the government caps its loans. It wants you to find other ways to pay for your education besides borrowing so that by the time you graduate, you don't become an indentured servant to debt."
The financial aid office estimates that the total cost of living and tuition is about $60,000 for an in-state KU student who started attending the University in 2004 and plans to graduate this year. For out-of-state students, it was about $90,000. It estimates that the average cost of living and tuition for KU freshmen who enrolled this year and plan to graduate in four years has risen to about $72,000 for an in-state freshman and about $113,000 for an out-of-state freshman.
Joan Weaver, associate director of the financial aid office, said her department limited the amount students can borrow through the University based on the estimated cost of living and tuition: $17,400 per year for in-state students and $26,908 per year for out-of-state students.
FEDERALLY INSURED VS.
PRIVATE LOANS
Weaver said her department processed both federally insured loans from the government and alternative loans from private lenders.
FinAid.org reports that Congress raised its cap last July on how much students can borrow in federal loans. Undergraduates can now borrow up to $31,000 and graduate students can borrow $42,000 more. No student can borrow more than $73,000 from the government. These loans are either subsidized — interest doesn't start accumulating more debt until after graduation — or unsubsidized — interest starts compounding more debt as soon as students borrow. Interest

rates on the government's unsubsidized loans are fixed at 6.8 percent and, starting in July, its subsidized loans will be fixed at 6 percent.
Private loans come with higher, unsubsidized interest because the lenders carry more risk — the government won't reimburse the lender if a student defaults on his or her loan. Private loans that don't go through the University are unregulated and unmonitored by the government. Students can borrow as much money

Kimberly Redlin
BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
Kimberly Redlin is one busy girl. Redlin, Minneapolis junior, is a Freshman/ Sophomore CLAS senator, as well as a member of Delta Gamma Sorority, where she has served as director of scholarship, fundraising and well-aware committees. She also is a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars.
"$18 million dollars is a lot of money for a select group of fellow student to allocate appropriately," she said. "If there was a way to get more students to participate and voice their opinions on issues that Student Senate presents, I think more students would get their wants and needs accounted for."
"I have been able to hear the Provost's and faculty's perspectives on the issues and the responses of the students," she said. "As an out-of-state, full-time student with two jobs and extensive involvement in many groups and organizations, it was hard for me to see any logical reasons for eliminating Stop Day or shortening winter break."
Having never been involved with politics before, Redlin said she's learned a lot since joining Student Senate.
Another Senate idea is to change the advising system. Redlin thought there were issues with the system. "There are many problems that students run into when choosing classes and meeting credit requirements because they are misinformed," she said. "What one advisor will tell you
"I've learned to keep my ears open and examine all perspectives when debating an issue," she said.
will often differ from what you will hear from another"
Redlin works two jobs: at the Energy Balance Lab in Robinson Hall and at Longhorn Steakhouse. She said she enjoys waiting tables. "I get the opportunity to meet and learn how to deal with a variety of different people... some nice, some not so nice," she said. As a student senator, Redlin's job is to contact and write up legislations for student groups, serve on various University boards and committees and work with other student senators at the University to provide students with opportunities that they may not get at other universities.
A recent issue that came up is whether to shorten the school year by getting rid of Stop Day. Redlin said she became involved with the issue after serving on the calendar committee for 2 years.
Redlin said she wanted students to understand where Student Senate money was being spent.
Redlin said this causes students to take unnecessary classes and remain at the University longer than four years.
Redlin is a pre-physical therapy major and plans go to medical school in Minnesota to become a doctor of physical therapy. She hopes to own her own practice someday.
Redlin loves to teach tennis during the summer and considers herself a fierce competitor in the tennis intramural league. But she also loves to go fishing, tubing and waterskiing at her cabin in Minnesota during the summer. Besides being a Kansas basketball fan, Redlin is a big Kansas men's hockey fan as well. "It reminds me of home," she said.
Overall Redlin is pleased with her time at the University so far.
"In a nutshell I've met my best friend, fell in love, worn some ridiculous outfits, witnessed a National Championship, worked my butt off, and enjoyed the perks of being 18 and finally 21," she said.

According to a Lawrence Police Department press release, at about 2 a.m. Sunday witnesses reported that the vehicle of Thomas Crum, a 60-year-old Lawrence resident, had been hit by a silver Jeep at the corner of Sixth Street and Gateway Court. The witnesses said the Jeep then drove away. Crum was life-flighted from the scene of the accident to the University of Kansas Medical Center where he later died.

According to the release, the Jeep pushed Crum's car into Gateway Automotive, 534 Gateway Drive_, when the two cars collided. The front end of Jeep was substantially damaged when it hit Crum's car, though it was still drivable.
Fellers said the vehicle's identification number was marked on a part that was left behind at the scene of the crime. Through the VIN, police were able to find the vehicle and Deckert.
Travis Crum, Thomas's 28-year-old son and Eudora resident, said his family was not mad at KU students or the student who allegedly hit his father's car.
Fellers said he could not comment on the case further because it was still under investigation and he did not know when it would be completed.
Travis said his father was on the way home from his 60th birthday party when he was hit
"He had a good smile on his face when he left," he said. "I just thank God we had that last night together."
"I'm sure he didn't mean to," Travis said. "We're thoroughly upset with him because there is always that chance you could have saved someone."
Deckert did not immediately return requests for an interview Tuesday.

Kansan grades departing administration
BY BRENNA HAWLEY
bhawley@kansan.com
Editor's note: The new Student Senate administration took office last week with promises and platforms. But outgoing president Hannah Love, Dodge City senior, and vice president Ray Wittlinger, Olathe senior, worked all year to complete their platforms from last year's elections. Kansan Student Senate reporter Brenna Hawley graded the United Senate duo on their progress.
DEADWEEK AT KU

United Students' platform said the group wanted a whole week at the end of each semester where tests would be given to allow dents to prepare for
finals. Wittlinger said a proposal had been presented to the calendar committee, which plans the calendar several years in advance. He said the committee was receptive to the idea.
Love said she had many meetings with Provost Richard Lariviere, and she said there would eventually be a deadweek at the University but not for a few years. She did not specifically say what year the dead-week would start.
University Relations had not heard of a change to the calendar.
Mark Pacey, Manhattan graduate student and a member of the calendar committee, said the committee had seen many calendar change proposals but hadn't passed any.

As of this semester, the center had not moved onto Jayhawk Boulevard. Wittlinger said this was a long-term project and they had to wait on results from a space study to see what was available on the road.
David Gaston, director of the University Career Center, said he had initial meetings with senators but nothing was happening right now. He said he didn't know how long the moving process would take.

"We couldn't really justify adding the extra space," Hutine said.
24-HOUR PARKING AT THE RECREATION FITNESS CENTER

Hultine said the Parking Commission, which votes on all changes in Parking & Transit, approved a plan that allowed students with a Park & Ride or having no
pass to park in the front row of the recreation center on an experimental basis. She said the recreation center monitored the spots and reported that they never gave out more than 10 permits per week. She said the spots were either empty or filled with cars with yellow passes that were ticketed.
"It was a nice idea to make the recreation center accessible, but it went a little too far to hold spots," Hultine said.
The entire row of reserved spots has since been returned to yellow parking spots. Now people who want to park at the recreation center with a housing or Park & Ride pass can still park in the yellow lot but don't have the first row reserved.

April 2, to provide $16,000 to renovate the shack in conjunction with the University Daily Kansan and the Provost's Office.
While this was a United Students platform, Andy Haverkamp, Hoyt freshman and member of opposite coalition ConnectKU, wrote the bill during election time. Haverkamp said it took two days to contact all necessary people to put together legislation.
IMPROVED NIGHT TRANSPORTATION
Unitec Students said many people had to park far

Wittlinger said the bus system had improved its routes at nighttime.

Lennea Carty, Andover senior and chair of the
Campus Safety Advisory
Board, said the board had been working on installing a crosswalk for a while. She said problems with installing a crosswalk were an issue with the city of Lawrence because the city didn't want a crosswalk on a curve and a hill.
Wittlinger said he hoped the next Senate administration would continue to work toward a cross-walk.

GENERATION DEBT
as these private lenders are willing to lend them.
SCOTT SHEPHERD
Scott Shepherd, Independence senior, will be about $50,000 in debt when he graduates in May after borrowing $46,000 to finance his four years in the School of Engineering.
The interest on his unsubsidized loans, which average out to about 9 percent, have accrued about $3,300 more to his debt since he started borrowing.
Shepherd said he expected to make $50,000 to $70,000 per year as a mechanical engineer, but he planned to live on only $17,000 per year until he paid his debt.
"I think the best thing to do is live that same lifestyle I lived in college and work to pay down these loans as fast as I can," Shepherd said. "The longer I wait to pay it all off, the more that interest is going to add up."
Shepherd borrowed $7,000 in government loans to pay his freshman tuition while working part-time at a car-audio shop to pay his living expenses.
He quit his job midway through his sophomore year when his grades started slipping and took out a $10,600 loan from the SLM Corporation, more commonly know as Sallie Mae, the number-one private student lender in the United States. The interest on the
(CONTINUED FROM 1A)
private loan was unsubsidized at 10.5 percent, while his government loan was subsidized at 6.8 percent.
Although he could have borrowed up to $23,000 - now $31,000 - from the government, Shepherd borrowed the rest of the money he needed for college from Sallie Mae because the private lender offered an easier and faster process for getting his loans.
"There was just way too much paperwork involved in getting a loan from the government," he said. "A Sallie Mae loan was literally just a few clicks away."
Shepherd continued borrowing from Sallie Mae over the next three-and-a-half-years to finance his tuition, rent, food and other bills, until he had borrowed $39,000 in private loans.
He now owes the government $7,000 and Sallie Mae about $42,300, which will continue to increase at least $360 more every month until he pays down a chunk of his debt.
He said looking at his Sallie Mae online account made him feel paranoid.
"It's just a big number to look at and I feel like I don't have much control over it," he said.

No interest will have accrued on her loans until after she graduates because she plans on taking out only federally insured loans that are subsidized while she's in school.
The interest on her government loans won't come into play until after she graduates in 2010, when new legislation passed in 2007 will drop her 6.8 percent interest rate to 4.5 percent. The interest will start adding about $100 to her debt every month.
"I have no idea how long it will take me to pay it all back," Janssen said. "It's a very scary thought." Janssen said she planned on working in public relations. According to PayScale.com, the starting median salary for a public relations executive was about $34,000. She could pay off all her debt in 10 years making $204 monthly payments, which would be about 7 percent of her projected monthly income.

He worked full-time the rest of that semester and the following summer at Qdoba Mexican Grill, to save up money for his sophomore year.
Wood borrowed $6,600 to finance tuition his sophomore year and worked about 30 hours per week answering phones at Affinitas to afford his living expenses.
He borrowed another $8,500 his junior year after he quit working so he could volunteer his time to Kansas Students for Ron Paul, which he said ate up about 40 hours of his week.
He needed to use his loan money to finance living expenses this semester after he decided to organize a student coalition, Students of Liberty, and ran for student body president.

Death toll passes 22,000 after cyclone
LOCals make their way past a fallen tree following a devastating cyclone, Sunday in Yangon, Myanmar. Myanmar announced Tuesday it is delaying a crucial constitutional referendum in areas badly hit by the cyclone that killed more than 10,000 people and may have left as many as a million homeless. Officials feared the death toll could soar.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tropical Storm Debbie caused widespread destruction in the Caribbean. Tens of thousands of trees were uprooted and blown over, leaving debris strewn across the landscape. Residents and authorities worked tirelessly to restore power and help residents recover from the storm's aftermath.
Myanmar calls for international assistance with clean up, relief
ASSOCIATED PRESS
YANGON, Myanmar — The cyclone death toll soared above 22,000 on Tuesday and more than 41,000 others were missing as foreign countries mobilized to rush in aid after the country's deadliest storm on record, state radio reported.
Up to 1 million people may be homeless after Cyclone Nargis hit the Southeast Asian nation, also known as Burma, early Saturday. Some villages have been almost totally eradicated and vast rice-growing areas are wiped out, the World Food Program said.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Images from state television showed large trees and electricity poles sprawled across roads and rooftless houses ringed by large sheets of water in the Irrawaddy River delta region, which is regarded as Myanmar's rice bowl.
Buddhist monks and Catholic nuns wielding knives and axes joined Yangon residents Tuesday in clearing roads of ancient, fallen trees that were once the city's pride. And soldiers were out on the streets in large numbers for the first time since the cyclone hit, helping to clear trees as massive as 15 feet in diameter.
President Bush called on Myanmar's military junta to allow the U.S. to help. The White House said the U.S. will send more than
"We're prepared to move U.S. Navy assets to help find those who have lost their lives, to help find the missing, to help stabilize the situation. But in order to do so, the military junta must allow our disaster assessment teams into the country," he said.
$3 million to help cyclone victims, up from an initial emergency contribution of $250,000.
Bush spoke at a ceremony
where he signed legislation awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to Burmese democracy advocate Aung San Suu Kyi.
Myanmar's military regime has signaled it will welcome aid supplies for victims of a devastating cyclone, the U.N. said Tuesday, clearing the way for a major relief operation from international organizations.
But U.N. workers were still

"The government has shown a certain openness so far," Byrs said. "We hope that we will get the visas as soon as possible, in the coming hours. I think the authorities have understood the seriousness of the situation and that they will act accordingly."
The appeal for outside assistance was unusual for Myanmar's ruling generals, who have long been suspicious of international organizations and closely controlled their activities. Several agencies, including the International Red Cross

the Irrawaddy delta, which took the brunt of the weekend storm. It indicated that the balloting would proceed in other areas as scheduled.
Some aid agencies reported their assessment teams had reached some areas of the largely isolated region but said getting in supplies and large numbers of aid workers would be difficult.
The cyclone came a week ahead of a key referendum on a constitution that Myanmar's military leaders hoped would go smoothly in its favor, despite opposition from the country's feisty pro-democracy movement. However, the disaster could stir the already tense political situation.
State radio also said that Saturday's vote would be delayed until May 24 in 40 of 45 townships in the Yangon area and seven in
rights groups who question the credibility of the vote and urged the junta to focus on disaster victims.
Myanmar's generals have hailed the referendum as an important
step forward in their "roadmap to democracy." It offers the first chance for voters to cast ballots since 1990, and the probability is high they will approve the constitution — a legal framework the country has lacked for two decades.
But critics, including the United Nations, the United States and human rights groups, question whether it will lead to democracy.
Myanmar has been under military rule since 1962. Its government has been widely criticized for suppression of pro-democracy parties such as the one led by Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate who has been under house arrest for almost 12 of the past 18 years.
At least 31 people were killed and thousands more were detained when the military cracked down on peaceful protests in September led by Buddhist monks and democracy advocates.

Plans to borrow: $20,000 more
Total debt upon graduation: more than $41,000

Senate obligations prompted him to visit Watkins Memorial Health Center in March.
"When you're getting no sleep, you're really stressed and on top of that, you have no money to buy food, you really can't function that way for long," Wood said. "I think this semester was the first time I ever thought about robbing a grocery store," he said jokingly.
Wood now works at the Hawk Shop in Watson Library, where he's struggling to meet his financial obligations until he makes it to the summer when he can start saving money for next year.
"If I can make it to this summer,
I should be fine," he said, "But,
even then, stuff always comes up."
JULIE CONNOLLY
LIVING WITH DEBT
Julie Connolly, who is five years out of college and works full-time styling hair at Headmasters, is paying back the $28,000 she borrowed to finance her KU undergraduate degree and to attend cosmetology school in Chicago. The interest had compounded her debt to about $35,000 by the time she graduated in 2003. She $*t*will owe $26,000.
Connolly said she paid $214 of her student loan debt every month
but only $50 of that paid for principal while the other $164 paid the interest.
"My goal is to pay back all of my student loan debt by the time I'm 40 years old," she said, "But I'll probably be paying back at least some sort of debt for the rest of my life."
Connolly moved overseas after she graduated from high school and attended University of Maryland classes in Germany, where her dad was stationed in the military.
She borrowed about $10,000 over two years from Nelnet to finance her tuition and worked full-time as a bartender, which covered her living expenses.
She transferred to the KU School of Theatre & Film in 1999 where she said she borrowed about $9,000 from the government to finance three years of tuition and worked full-time at the Kansas Union to pay her living expenses.
She decided to switch gears in 2002 and moved to Chicago, where she borrowed another $9,000 from Sallie Mae to attend Pivot Point International, a cosmetology school.
"I decided one day that what I really wanted to do was hair and makeup and they didn't have that program at KU so I went to
Chicago," Connolly said.
She said she used part of her loan money to pay $140 per month toward the interest on her Sallie Mae loan, and when she graduated in 2003, she owed Nelnet about $16,500, Sallie Mae about $9,000 and the government $9,000 — a total of about $34,500 in debt.
"I'm not really sure what my plans are for the future," Connolly said. "For now, I'm just trying to enjoy myself while I climb out of debt."
WHERE THE INDUSTRY IS HEADED
Lanning said he had planned on borrowing the $200,000 he needed for dental school from GMAC Bank, which also lent him the $55,000 he's already borrowed.
The only problem: GMAC Bank no longer makes student loans.
"It sucks because all the money I borrowed I owed back to one company and now I have to find another lender and it's a huge pain." Lanning said. "I don't know where I'm going to get the money now"
As capital continues to dry up in the global credit market, the availability of cash for student loans is drying up as well.
Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of FinAid.org, said a combination of the subprime mortgage credit crunch and new federal legislation limiting profits for private lenders caused a growing number of lenders to suspend their federal or private loan programs.
He said this trend began when investors, spooked by an increase in defaults in the subprime lending industry, began pulling out of the asset-backed securitization market in August 2007. Asset-backed securitization (ABS) provides lenders with the liquidity needed to issue loans, plus some up-front profit, known as a premium.
Kantrowitz said that as turmoil spread from subprime-mortgage securitizations to the rest of the market, demand dropped and education lenders found it harder to invest investors to secure their loans.
"Lenders get money from investor and the then lend that to students," he said. "The capital market that's supplied the money has been drying up, so when these lenders run out of money, they have to stop issuing loans."
On top of that, Congress passed the College Cost Reduction and Access Act in July 2007, which Kantrowitz said cut the subsidies it paid lenders to encourage them to

issue student loans. He said congress used the savings from these cuts to increase the availability of government grants and cut the interest rates on its subsidized loans.
Kantrowitz said the credit crunch and the new legislation have prompted 73 lenders, which represented about 14 percent of the federal loan volume and 76 percent of federal consolidation loan volume, to suspend their student loan programs.
He said the interest rates will rise by about 1 percent on private student loans that aren't federally insured as lenders who stayed in the business try to compensate for their losses.
He also said student with bad or marginal credit will be denied private student loans.
"There's no signs of the problems getting better so it's going to continue," he said.
According to the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA), the government is attempting to offset this loss of private loan money by injecting $11.4 billion into its Federal Pell Grant Program over the next five years.
NASFAA reports that the money will be used to gradually increase the maximum government grant from $4,310 to $4,731 per student for next year and $5,400 by 2012. Congress will also gradually cut the interest rates on its undergraduate, subsidized loans from 6.8 percent to 6 percent next year and 3.4 percent by July 1, 2012.
Kantrowitz said the U.S. Department of Education should be able to absorb the influx of students who need financial aid, but, "it's never been tested at this level before so it's unclear whether it will

While it will likely be easier for students to pick up extra government grants, it also means students such as Lanning, who need more than the $73,000 the government will lend him, will have to turn to the few remaining private lenders for higher-interest, unsubsidized loans.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor statistics, the median salary for a dentist is about $136,000. If the interest rates on his loans don't change, he should be able to pay off all his debt 10 years after he graduates by making monthly payments of about $3,476 — roughly 30 percent of his projected, monthly salary.
"I feel like I better kick in my sixth gear and keep trucking through school to become a dentist so I can live the good life and still pay back all these loans," Lanning said.

96 arrested in drug sting at San Diego State
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — Dozens of San Diego State University students were arrested and six fraternities were suspended after a sweeping drug investigation found that some fraternity members openly dealt drugs and one even sent a mass text message advertising cocaine, authorities said Tuesday.
A five-month investigation prompted by a cocaine overdose death last year led to the arrests of 96 people,75 of them San Diego State students. A second drug death occurred while the investigation went on.
Twenty-nine people were arrested early Tuesday in raids at nine locations including the Theta Chi fraternity, where agents found cocaine, Ecstasy and three guns. Eighteen of them were wanted on warrants for selling to undercover agents.
Two kilograms of cocaine were seized in all, along with 350 Ecstasy pills, marjuana, psychedelic mushrooms, hash oil, methamphetamine, illicit prescription drugs, several guns and at least $60,000 in cash, authorities said.
"A sad commentary is that when one of these individuals was arrested, they inquired as (to) whether or not his arrest and incarceration would have an effect on him becoming a federal law enforcement officer," said Ralph Partridge, special agent in charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in San Diego.
Profits may have been used to finance fraternity operations, they said. Those arrested included a student who was about to receive a criminal justice degree and another who was to receive a master's degree in homeland security.
During the probe, investigators discovered that in some fraternities most members were aware of "organized drug dealing occurring
from the fraternity houses by its members," the DEA said in a news release.
"Undercover agents purchased cocaine from fraternity members and confirmed that a hierarchy existed for the purpose of selling drugs for money," the DEA said.
The district attorney's office said search warrants were served in San Diego and suburban La Mesa, including the Theta Chi fraternity house and several apartments.
The undercover probe, dubbed Operation Sudden Fall, was sparked by the cocaine overdose death of a student in May 2007, authorities said. As the investigation continued, another student, from Mesa College, died Feb. 26 of a cocaine overdose at an SDSU fraternity house, the DEA said.
A member of Theta Chi sent out a mass text message to his "faithful customers" stating that he and his "associates" would be unable to sell cocaine while they were in Las Vegas over one weekend, according to the DEA. The text promoted a cocaine "sale" and listed the reduced prices.
San Diego State suspended Theta Chi and five other fraternities Tuesday pending a hearing on evidence gathered during the investigation. Members of at least three fraternities were arrested, according to law enforcement.
Two defendants in the case pleaded not guilty to drug charges Tuesday in San Diego Superior Court — Patrick Hawley to selling cocaine and Omar Castaneda to possession of cocaine.
Investigators infiltrated seven fraternities in the course of the probe.
Theta Chi's San Diego chapter declined to comment. The chapter occupies two low-slung homes a block off Fraternity Row, with large red-and-white Greek symbols propped on the roof.
"We're talking to our advisers."
said John Phillips, a past president of the chapter.
Dale Taylor, the fraternity's national executive director, said he was "obviously shocked and saddened" by the allegations.
Theta Chi has prohibited the San Diego chapter from group activities like parties or sports and will investigate additional disciplinary measures, up to expulsion of members or the entire chapter.
Theta Chi, based in Indianapolis, has 131 chapters in the U.S. and Canada and more than 161,000 initiates. It was founded in 1856.
The San Diego chapter was founded 61 years ago and has 65 members.
University police and federal drug agents worked together in the investigation, making more than 130 undercover drug buys at locations including fraternity houses, student parking areas and dormitories, authorities said.
"They were on the upswing," Taylor said. "They had improved their recruitment. They were trying to raise money for a new house."
Students from two other fraternities, Phi Kappa Psi and Delta Sigma Pi, were among those arrested, according to Deputy District Attorney Damon Mosler.
Shawn Collinsworth, executive director of the national office of Phi Kappa Psi, said he was told by two of the SDSU fraternity chapter's leaders that four of its members were arrested. He added the fraternity is cooperating with the investigation.
"It isn't behavior becoming of Phi Kappa PsI", Collinsworn said.
A phone message left with Delta Sigma Pi's national office after business hours was not immediately returned.
San Diego State is one of the largest schools in California's state university system with about 34,000 students. The campus has an active network of fraternities

INTERNET
Awards honor online successes
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Stephen Colbert's use of the Internet to connect with fans earned the Comedy Central host special recognition as recipients of the annual Webby awards for Web sites and online achievements were announced Tuesday.
A special achievement award also went to will.i.am, the Black Eyed Peas frontman behind the popular "Yes We Can" video supporting presidential candidate Barack Obama. And movie director Michel Gondry won a special mention for encouraging filmmakers around the world to recreate their favorite movies — the concept behind his film "Be Kind Rewind" and share them online.
Meanwhile, The New York Times' online unit won eight regular Webby Awards in such categories as news, mobile listings and animation. The Onion satire site won seven, while Web sites for Apple Inc. and National Geographic magazine along with a user-confession site, PostSecret, won four awards each.
The awards will be presented during ceremonies June 9 and 10 in New York. Webby ceremonies are known for their zany tone, with winners limited to five-word acceptance speeches, including Al Gore's "Please don't recount this vote."
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
Colbert
As host of cable television's "The Colbert Report," Colbert has managed to persuade fans to inject his version of reality into the user-edited encyclopedia Wikipedia while getting Web sites to add enough references to him that a Google search for "greatest living American" at one point brought his Colbert Nation Web site to the top.
In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Colbert spoke of how instantly he gets feedback from his audience online:
In naming him Webby Person of the Year, judges recognized his online fan base and credited him with raising more than $250,000 online for an education charity.
"The Web is essentially improv
visational, ... The Internet is the shortest, hardest wall against which your voice will echo back." Colbert said. "It's a big place, but, boy, you get an echo back really fast."
The Webby Artist of the Year was will.i.am, whose inspirational video "Yes We Can" was a viral sensation that has garnered millions of hits since February on Google Inc.'s YouTube alone.
Produced independent of Obama's campaign, the video features Obama's voice from a New Hampshire concession speech set to will.iam's music and melody, with vocalizations of the speech from Scarlet Johansson, John Legend, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Herbie Hancock and other celebrity supporters. The chorus is one of Obama's campaign slogans: "Yes We Can."
Gondry, who also directed "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," won for Webby Film and Video Person of the Year, largely for an "inventive visual style and storytelling."
His latest comedy, "Be Kind Rewind," stars Jack Black and Mos Def and tells of two video store clerks who hatch a scheme to reshoot campy versions of hit movies and rent them out after they accidentally erase every tape at the store.

Conserve instead of complaining about energy
In the past 30 years, our electricity consumption has doubled. It's risen almost 10 times a person since 1950, from 474 kilowatt hours to 4,571 in 2006.
Not to get stuck in the "good old days" or "when we were young" mode, but we have to wonder, what are we using all this power for? And we also have to wonder, are we happier for it?
We'll certainly be poorer for it.
Energy rates are expected to climb significantly as consumption drives utilities to build or buy new power generation, upgrade aging infrastructure and respond to climate change.
Utilities routinely brush aside the assertion that efficiency and other demand-management measures could curb the rising demand for power.
It doesn't pay utility companies to promote efficiency. Their job, after all, is to sell electricity and natural gas.
But conservation has been proven to work. Kansas is one of only 10 states that, in 2006, reported having zero cumulative savings from efficiency. That means 40 states have found a way to save through conservation and efficiency.
We suggest not waiting for the Legislature. We suggest taking matters into our own hands and save whatever power we can at home and in our businesses.
Let's see if we can beat that 30 megawatt-hour savings of 2006.

Regents must keep tuition increases in check
The Kansas Board of Regents should put pressure on state legislators to adequately fund higher education, but it also should stand by its decision to limit tuition increases regardless of how much state funding legislators approve.
If that funding is not forthcoming, it will be tempting for the regents to use that action to justify higher increases in university tuition. That would be the wrong move.
Lawmakers are facing significant financial challenges of their own. The latest state revenue estimates were $130 million below earlier predictions, and lawmakers have been told it will cost about $30 million more than expected to cover the state's social service programs.
During tough economic times is exactly the wrong time to shift more of the financial burden of a university education to students and their families. Many Kansans are struggling to pay for higher education.
In February, the regents told university leaders that they would not accept tuition increases of more than 6 percent.
However, even if legislators fail to approve additional higher education funding, the regents should stick by its insistence on tuition increases of no more than 6 percent.

WHO IS THAT DESPERATE?
The (d)evolution of Free For All
CAITLIN THORNBRUGH
I read Free For All when my geology class is particularly boring, but now it has just turned into an outlet for students who are sexually frustrated. The comments I enjoy are the thank you're from the speaker to a complete stranger. My favorite comment of the semester was: To the person who wrote "lava" between the lines in the crosswalk, you made my day.
So here is my thank you to a random person. When I was a freshman, I took a night class and would walk to the dorms. One night a guy started walking straight at me holding up his fist. I thought I was going to get to use my mace for the first time, but then he opened his fist to hand me a small flower, and walked away. He made my day even though I almost maced him. I was so surprised I didn't say anything. To that guy: Thanks for the flower.
JORDAN RYAN
Should I be turning to Free For All for dates? I've read the entreaties for dinner and sex, but do any of these requests actually work?
I may try it out, because if people continue to ask, someone must be getting some. There are those who say that this current Free For all trend is lame, but if everyone needs a date so badly then by all means we should use The Kansan to aid us in our efforts. Many people use online dating services, and others just creep around coffee shops or bars looking for someone to pick up, so why is this any different?
Hey, long-haired Okie with glasses: Let's get coffee sometime.
Admittedly I would be flattered to read in print that someone had noticed me from afar. Free For All is about being shameless, so say what you have to say and hope it will land you a date.
BEN COHEN
I really, really do not like the Free For All. Actually, let me rephrase that: I am very, very jealous of the Free For All.
Most students say that they only read the opinion page, and for that matter, the entire Kansan, for that little daily strip of non-sequiturs. Things that people actually put a lot of work into writing are second fiddle to a constant barrage of things like "Hey, there is a cute guy/girl/crazy old hippie in my chem lecture."
Maybe I'd appreciate the Free For All if the content was more relevant to me. As much as I've wanted to see it, there has yet to be a comment published along the lines of "Ben Cohen is a sexy beast and the best columnist ever," despite the hundreds of times I've called in to make this totally true statement.
HAILEY OSTERHAUS
This comment made me think about how much people today value marriage in the context of romance. If a guy got down on one knee and told me to check the Free For All, I'd die of laughter.
"I wish my boyfriend would propose to me on Free For All."
It's basically a social construct, a pile of legal documents that two people decide to bury themselves in. And those documents can be shredded, just look at the divorce rates.
But comments like these confirm my belief that marriage has nothing to do with romance today.
Marriage secures a union only in the government's eyes and has little to do with love. A happily- ever-after is a Disney fantasy.
If I get married, a romantic proposal won't be necessary, especially one on Free For All.
KIRSTEN HUDSON
Are plaid shorts the new Ugg boots? Even if you read the Free For All just once in the last six months, undoubtedly you saw a comment ranting on the ridiculousness of Ugg boots.
I agree, at least when they are paired with shorts, sweatpants or capris. Yet, when it comes to simply keeping my toes warm in subzero temperatures, I don't care how many Ugg boots insults are called into Free For All. I'm proud to say I'm an Ugg boots owner.
A new trend emerging in Free For All, posts criticizing guys for wearing plaid shorts, such as "Dear boys of KU: Please, for the love of all that is good in the world, STOP with the plaid shorts."
Before you criticize too much on your fellow students clothing choices just remember, it could get worse. Maybe next year the trend will be high-high Ugg boots or guys in plaid kilts.
ROSS STEWART
This is all done anonymously, with just a description of what each will be wearing so they can find one another. I've dreamed up a way for us to end this — the next time someone sets up a make out session in Free For All, everyone reading this needs to show up for some good old-fashioned pointing and laughing. Then we can all make out. Sound good? OK, break!
When did Free For All become an anonymous dating program? People are asking one another to make out somewhere at a certain time (if you haven't seen this, check out Free For All at kansan.com) or talking about their loneliness and then suggesting making out.
Hire this honey bee!
Good journalists are like buzzy bees. Publishing is pollination. We create a sweet, healthy product (best consumed in moderation). A queen bee leads the newsroom hive. Snoopiness is a stinger (and we die if we lose it).
And, like bees, journalists are a dying breed. But it's not cell phones, fungi or pesticides that kill us — our demise lurks in the World Wide Spiderweb. Good thing I've been tangled up in the Internet since pizza.com was an available domain.
Most of my college courses have revolved around writing. Indeed, I very much like the writing lifestyle, minus the times when I'm bee-littled by the hive queen.
But I'd think that prospective employers would look past my ability to write and focus on other traits I have: video, music, pictures, graphs, galleries, blogging. RSS. I dig learning new webby presentation tidbits.

State limits grand jury
Subpoenas not modified in Wichita doctor case
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — The state's highest court limited the power Tuesday of a grand jury investigating abortion provider Dr. George Tiller, but it refused to block the jury's subpoenas or strike down the law under which it convened
The legal dispute before the Supreme
"The district court must consider the competing interests of the state and the patients."
Court involved subpoenas seeking medical records from the Tiller's Wichita clinic. The Sedgwick County grand jury issued the subpoenas to Tiller and Attorney General Steve Six.
The justices declined to quash or modify the subpoenas or strike down the law. But in returning the case, it spelled out a series of conditions the subpoenas must meet.
KANSAS SUPREME COURT
The Supreme Court returned the case to district court, telling the presiding judge to determine whether the subpoenas should be enforced based on the justices' guidelines. Both an attorney for Tiller and the leader of an anti-abortion group said the ruling will be helpful to their cause.
Tiller and Six wanted the court to quash the subpoenas or limit their scope. The Center for Reproductive Rights, based in New York, filed its own legal challenge on behalf of Tiller's patients, arguing that complying with the subpoenas could jeopardize their privacy.
Tiller's attorneys also asked the court to strike down the law allowing citizens to petition for a grand jury. Abortion opponents used the 1887 state law to force Sedgwick County to convene the panel investigating Tiller.
"The court should satisfy itself that the grand jury has not engaged in an arbitrary fishing expedition and that the targets were not selected and
subpoenas issued out of malice or with intent to harass," Justice Lee Johnson wrote for the unanimous court. "If so, the court should quash the subpoenas."
The Supreme Court said if the district court determines that both of those conditions are satisfied, it must consider patients' privacy
It must allow Tiller's clinic to remove all patient identifying information from the copies it provides to the grand jury, the high court said.
"The district court must
writing such a law, the Kansas Legislature interfered with the judiciary's operations.
The Supreme Court disagreed. It noted that once the grand jury is convened, "the role of the citizenry in the grand jury process ceases."
"It's a very good decision recognizing that the grand jury does not have unfettered powers and the grand jury subpoenaes require a degree of judicial oversight."
consider the competing interests of the state and the patients;" the court said.
"We were afraid they were going to kill the rule of law along with the babies."
Tiller attorney Lee Thompson acknowledged that he still believes the grand jury law is unconstitutional, but he was pleased the court set guidelines on the jury's power to issue subpoenas.
"Any claim that the process is being abused does not follow from an unconstitutional legislative invasion of the judicial or executive function, but rather from any failure of the judiciary to exercise its oversight function," Johnson wrote.
Kansas is one of six states that allows citizens to petition to form grand juries.

But Tiller's attorneys questioned whether the practice is constitutional, suggesting that in
Thompson said. "The Supreme Court by ruling has clearly drawn the line on its unfettered operation."
The attorney general's office had no immediate
comment.
Abortion opponents were assessing the decision.
"On first glance, it looks like a good ruling," said Mary Kay Culp, executive director of Kansans for Life. "We were afraid they were going to kill the rule of law along with the babies."

SANTA FE, N.M. — The leader of an apocalyptic sect was arrested Tuesday on sex charges and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, police said.

A posting on the church's Web site attributed to Bent's grown son, Jeff Bent, said his father was arrested on "false charges."
Bent accused the state of kidnapping the children.
Bent has acknowledged having sex with followers — including his daughter-in-law — and lying naked with virgins. He said the virgins asked for sex, but he refused.

Foreclosures hinder economy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A rising tide of late mortgage payments and home foreclosures poses considerable dangers to the national economy, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned anew Monday as he urged Congress to take additional steps to alleviate the problems.
"High rates of delinquency and foreclosure can have substantial spillover effects on the housing market, the financial markets and the broader economy," Bernanke said in a dinner speech to Columbia Business School in New York. "Therefore, doing what we can to avoid preventable foreclosures is not just in the interest of lenders and borrowers. It's in everybody's interest," he said.
Some 1.5 million U.S. homes entered into the foreclosure process last year, up 53 percent from 2006, Bernanke said. The rate of new foreclosures looks likely to be even higher this year, he said.
called on the two mortgage giants to quickly raise new capital.
To provide more relief, Bernanke again called on Congress to give the Federal Housing Administration, which insures mortgages, more flexibility to help distressed borrowers at risk of losing their homes. He also again urged lawmakers to move ahead on legislation revamping Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which finance mortgages. And, he
"Conditions in mortgage markets remain quite difficult," the Fed chief said.
House leaders plan action on those and other housing measures this week.
The reasons behind surging late payments and foreclosures can vary
and that needs to be taken into account when developing solutions, Bernanke said. For instance, parts of New England, states in the Great Lakes, including Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin, show
missed payments into the principal balance, Bernanke said.
"A widespread decline in home prices, by contrast, is a relatively novel phenomenon, and lenders and servicers will have to develop new and flexible strategies to deal with this issue." Bernanke said.
The current housing crises have clobbered some borrowers
"Therefore, doing what we can to avoid preventable foreclosures is not just in the interest of lenders and borrowers."

increased mortgage delinquencies and "notable increases" in unemployment rates, he said.
California, Florida and parts of Colorado, on the other hand, saw delinquencies rise during a period when unemployment generally decreased but the value of homes declined, he said.
Mortgage companies are used to dealing with delinquencies related to life events, such as job loss or an illness, with the most common approaches being a temporary repayment plan or the folding of
home prices dropped. That left them with mortgages that are bigger than the value of their home. When that's the primary problem, Bernanke said the best solution may be reducing the
amount that the borrower owes on the loan or some other permanent modification to the loan.
Rising foreclosures add to the glut of unsold homes and that put more downward pressure on prices, aggravating the housing slump, he said. More rapid declines in house prices could have an "adverse impact" on the broader economy and the stability of the financial system, he said.
In his remarks, Bernanke did not talk about the interest rate policy or the state of the economy.

To help bolster the economy, the Federal Reserve last Wednesday cut a key interest rate by one-quarter percentage point to 2 percent and strongly hinted that it may take a breather in its rate-cutting campaign that started last September.
The Fed hopes that its powerful series of rate cuts — its most aggressive in decades — along with the government's $168 billion stimulus package — including tax rebates that started flowing to bank accounts last week — will be sufficient to lift the country out of its slump in the second half of this year.
The mortgage meltdown started with problems with subprime mortgages — those made to people with tarnished credit.

Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Barack Obama, D-III., arrives at a primary election night rally in Raleigh, N.C., Tuesday, May 6.
Obama wins North Carolina Clinton remains hopeful with slight lead in Indiana

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., high-fives driver Sarah Fisher during a campaign event at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Ind., Tuesday. Voters in Indiana and North Carolina crowd polls Tuesday, seeking to settle the remaining contests in the Democratic presidential nomination struggle between Clinton and Barack Obama.
INDIANAPOLIS — Barack Obama swept to victory in the North Carolina primary Tuesday night and declared he was closing in on the Democratic presidential nomination. Hillary Rodham Clinton clung to a narrow Indiana lead, struggling to halt her rival's march into history.
"Tonight we stand less than 200 delegates away from winning the Democratic nomination for president of the United States," Obama told a raucous rally in Raleigh, N.C. — and left no doubt he intended to claim the prize.
Clinton and Obama both said the former first lady would win Indiana. Yet thousands of votes were yet to be counted, principally in Lake County, a heavily black area not far from Obama's home city of Chicago.
She told cheering supporters in Indianapolis, "Thanks to you, it's full speed on to the White House," signaling her determination to fight on in a campaign already waged across more than 15 months and nearly all 50 states.
Returns from 92 percent of North Carolina precincts showed Obama winning 56 percent of the vote to 42 percent for Clinton, a triumph that mirrored his earlier wins in Southern states with large black populations.
That made Indiana a virtual must-win Midwestern contest for the former first lady, who was hoping to counter Obama's persistent delegate advantage with a strong run through the late primaries. Returns from 85 percent of the state's precincts showed Clinton with 52 percent of the vote to 48 percent for Obama.
Obama won at least 63 delegates and Clinton at least 57 in the two states combined, with 67 still to be awarded.
Voters in both states fell along racial lines long since established in a marathon race between the nation's strongest-ever black presidential candidate and its most formidable female challenger for the White House.
The economy was the top issue by far in both states, according to
interviews with voters as they left their polling places.
Two weeks after a decisive defeat in Pennsylvania, Obama sounded increasingly like he was looking forward to the fall campaign.
"This primary season may not be over, but when it is, we will have to remember who we are as Democrats ... because we all agree that at this defining moment in history — a moment when we're facing two wars, an economy in turmoil, a planet in peril — we can't afford to give John McCain the chance to serve out George Bush's third term."
Clinton was joined at her rally by her husband Bill, his face sunburned after hours spent campaigning in small-town North Carolina, and their daughter, Chelsea.
She stressed the issue that came to dominate the final days of the primaries in both states, her call for a summertime suspension of the federal gasoline tax. "I think it's time to give Americans a break this summer," she said.
of this party" in the fall campaign against the Republicans. To emphasize her determination, Clinton announced plans to campaign Thursday in West Virginia, South Dakota and Oregon, three of the remaining primary states.
She added that no matter who wins the epic race for the nominee, "I will work for the nominee
In North Carolina, Clinton won 60 percent of the white vote, while Obama claimed support from roughly 90 percent of the blacks who cast ballots.
Obama was gaining more than 90 percent of the black vote in Indiana, while Clinton was winning an estimated 61 percent of the white vote there.
Obama's delegate haul edged him closer to his prize — 1808.5 to 1,665 for Clinton in The Associated Press count, out of 2,025 needed to win the nomination.
As he told his supporters, Obama was on pace to finish the night within 200 delegates of the total needed. There are 217 delegates at stake in the six primaries yet to come. Another 270 superdelegates remain uncommitted.

While the company advertised that it offered 31 flavors, in fact it has created more than 1,000 flavors, according to its Web site.
"Frankly, I never met a flavor I didn't like," Robbins told The New York Times in 1973.
Generations of kids trooped to Baskin-Robbins stores to buy ice cream flavors like Jamoca, Daiquiri Ice, Pink Bubblegum, Nuts to You and Here Comes the Fudge.
Some were short-lived and created to mark specific events, such as Lunar Cheesecake for the moon landings and Valley Forge Fudge for the 1976 bicentennial.
This undated photo released courtesy of Marsha Veit shows her father Irvine Robbins, co-founder of the Baskin-Robbins chain that famously offered 31 flavors of ice cream. Robbins died in his sleep Monday at his home in Rancho Mirage. Calif. He was 90.
Robbins had been ill for some time and died Monday at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif., said his daughter Marsha Veit.
When the Beatles were to arrive in the United States in 1964, a reporter called to ask whether Baskin-Robbins was going to commemorate the event with a new flavor.

Robbins didn't have a flavor planned but quickly replied, "Uh, Beatle Nut, of course."

The flavor was created, manufactured and delivered in just five days, according to the Web site.
LOS ANGELES — Irvine Robbins, who as co-founder of Baskin-Robbins brought Rocky Road, Pralines 'n Cream and other exotic ice cream concoctions to every corner of America, has died at age 90.
Robbins offered 21 flavors at the store.
Robbins opened his first ice cream store in Glendale, Calif., in December 1945, following his discharge from the Army. He used $6,000 from a cashed-in insurance policy his father had given him for his bar mitzvah.
"In light of what Baskin-Robbins was to become, that first store was incredibly amateurish," according to a biography by his daughter Veit.
His brother-in-law, the late Burton Baskin, opened his own ice cream store in neighboring Pasadena a year later. By the end of the 1940s, they had joined forces to create Baskin-Robbins. Robbins recalled they used a flip of the coin to decide which name came first.
His cousin Sybil Hartfield bought $39 of the first day's sales of $53, according to the biography.
"It was called 'Snowbird' because Robbins couldn't think of anything else. The opening was delayed for a day because the paint on the floor hadn't dried."
They also decided to sell their stores to managers, pioneering the franchise concept for ice cream stores.
As corporate policy, employees were allowed to eat all the ice cream they wanted, because, Robbins said, "I don't want my employees stealing."
Robbins was dedicated to upholding the quality of his ice cream regardless of the cost, his daughter said.
"Everybody has a proprietary interest in ice cream," Robbins told the Times for the 1973 story. "All you have to do is mention ice cream and everybody has a flavor."
Baskin-Robbins was sold to United Fruit Co. in 1967, but Robbins continued to work for the company until retiring in the 1970s.

CAMPUS
Libraries fill up with finals week frenzy

Nick Kostner, Murdock graduate student, browses through the stacks at Watson Library. The libraries will extend their hours during finals week and provide coffee, cocoa and lemonade.
Lauren Hopper and Aubrey Bachand sat together, studying on the fourth floor of Anschutz Library on Wednesday.
With calculators out and books strewn across the table, Bachand, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, and Hopper, Overland Park freshman, prepared for their second semester of finals at the University of Kansas.
Anschutz was quiet on Thursday, but with finals approaching, more students have been going to campus libraries to study.
"We do see a definite increase during finals week in traffic through our doors," Rebecca Smith, KU Libraries' director of public relations and advancement, said.
But Smith said she didn't think overcrowding was a problem.
"It's definitely a popular place," Smith said. "But with the number of different types of study places and different types of areas we are looking at, we can accommodate a huge number of students."
Bachand said the cramped libraries could be annoying, "But I still get all my stuff done," she said. "I'm always at the library."
For some students, it's all about finding the right place to study. For Nick Kenning, Hutchinson junior, that means secluding himself on the bottom floors of Anschutz.
"I go back to one of those cubbies, and I find a spot in the dungeon of Anschutz," Kenning said. "It can be noisy stairs."
Tired of crowds on the main floors of Anschutz and Watson Libraries? Here are three alternate places to study during final exams week.
Some students might not have ever ventured to the stacks of Watson Library. But if you have, you've seen the old study desks that line outside of the aisles. You may be creeped out by the catacomb-like stacks, but you will definitely be able to study in solitude.
1. Watson Library Stacks
Lawrence is packed with coffee shops. Some are trendy, while others are hole-in-wall places with study atmospheres. The key is finding the place that allows you to focus. But with limited space, coffee shops can become packed as quickly as the libraries.
The positive is that you should probably be able to find a quiet place to study at home. The negative? Distractions like the television and refrigerator are just feet away.

Hopper said she tried to avoid the main floors of Anschutz and Watson libraries.

"I go downstairs." Hopper said. Watson is a lot easier to study in. It's a lot less crowded."
Smith said KU Libraries would provide additional hours and free coffee and hot cocoa at night during finals week. KU Libraries will be offering coffee, lemonade and cocoa from 7:30-11 p.m. from May 11 to 15 in Watson and Anschutz.
"Nights can get a little long," Smith said. "The libraries are here to serve the faculty, staff, and
especially the students," Smith said. "And as your needs change, our services evolve to meet those needs."
Jeromy Horkman, Service Desk supervisor at Watson, said Watson would add addition hours during finals week.
Watson's service desk, which is usually open 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. on Fridays, will be open until 10 p.m. on Friday, May 9. The service desk is usually open 10 a.m. on Saturdays, but would operate from 9 a.m. - 10 p.m. on Saturday, May 10. Horkman said Watson library
services will be open midnight Sunday, May 11 through Thursday, May 15, while Watson will remain open as a study hall area until 3 a.m.
Anschutz will remain open 24 hours during finals week.
Smith said she hoped students could find a place where they could comfortably study.
"It's probably the most important time academically and we want to make sure we help you succeed."

Success kept in check
Senior pitcher's trek from West Coast hasn't affected personality
BY TYLER PASSMORE
tpassmore@kansan.com
As this weekend approaches, it will not only mark the last Border Showdown for this year's senior class, but the last home series all together. One senior who looks to have an impact in the series is senior Andres Esquibel; but it was the path that led him to Kansas that has had a greater effect.
"My freshman year I went to San Diego State. I didn't want to leave California," Esquibel said. "Then I went to a Junior college and there have been three or four guys come here from there. I started talking to coach Price and I decided to take a trip out here and now that I am out here, I love it."
The Vista, Calif., native traded in palm trees and ocean for snow and wind. Esquibel lettered all four years at his high
school in Vista, and Esquibel was a two-time All-Palomar Conference selection and he was also chosen to play in the California North-South all-star game as a senior. While Esquibel put up numbers that gave the impression that his transition into the division I college level has been seamless
out there, there's nothing out there, it's all flat. It's cold, you're not going to have the ocean or anything else," Esquibel said.
becoming acclimated to the environment is a different story.
It's not that bad, it is actually really fun. I have adjusted to it really well because it's a great college town. I mean there is nothing like this in California."
"I pretty much got the same response out of everybody. 'What are you doing
"I can never see myself sitting in an office everyday. I could never do it."
ANDRES ESQUIBEL Senior pitcher
In his first season as a Jayhawk last year, Esquibel appeared in 25 games. In those 25 games, Esquibel went 7-3 with a 4.66 ERA and compiled 50 strike outs.
"There's not one person. It has probably been my family: my mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, uncles." Esquibel said. "My dad,
Esquibel has carried that success into his senior season and has continued to play well alongside the surging team. With the success he has had over the last

seven years, it would be easy to get carried away and rest on his previous success. Not Esquibel, however. As calm and poised as he is on the mound, his mannerisms off the field should come as no surprise. Esquibel is a family man and gives credit to those closest to him. The easiest way to learn
about Esquibel is to pose the question about who has been the most influential person in his life, and it is not a professional baseball player.
grandpa and uncle have coached me ever since I was 8 years old and I have always tried to show how they have helped me. I also just always to try and set a good example for my two brothers."
As the season comes to a close, Esquibel seems to have a shot to play baseball at the next level. If he is
unable to pursue baseball, he has a different career plan in mind. Instead of trying to get a desk job and get cooped up in a small cubicle, he knows he would have to stay around the game that he loves and have the ability to work with kids.
"Ive thought about this a lot and it would have to be a teacher and coaching." Esquibel said. "I can never see myself sitting in an office everyday. I could never do it."
With seven regular season games left, there is still time for Esquibel to leave a bigger impression on the team he left California for. The effect he will make after those seven games, nobody knows. One thing is for sure though: in whatever he does he should be successful. Whether that is throwing fastballs or teaching the next great major league star, only time will tell.

Kansas aims to continue winning streak
BY SHAWN SHROYER shrover@kansan.com
Maybe it's the warmer weather. Maybe it's the magic of Hoglund Ballpark. Maybe it's — as senior left fielder John Allman
said Sunday — the synergy. Whatever it is, Kansas is on a roll.
The Jayhawks (29-22, 8-13) have won four straight and are on a nine-game winning streak at home. Despite those trends, Kansas must finish the regular

season strong if it wants to reach the postseason.
"That's our goal right now — to get into the tournament," Allman said. "As you know from a couple years ago, anything can happen after you get there."
A couple years ago Kansas made the Big 12 Championship in 2006 as a six seed, swept its pod, and beat Nebraska in the title game to clinch an NCAA Regional berth.
Entering this week with two Big 12 series to go, Kansas sits in seventh place in the conference and it must remain in the top eight to be guaranteed a spot in the Big 12 Championship. The Jayhawks control their own destiny, though, and — perhaps best of all for the
In the Big 12 standings, Kansas is a game behind Baylor and a game ahead of Kansas State, which are 10-14 and 7-14, respectively. Oklahoma and Texas Tech are currently out of the Big 12 Championship picture with 6-14-1 and 6-15 respective conference records.
boys in blue — five of their final seven games are at home.
Adding even more drama to the implications of Kansas' last two Big 12 series is the fact that they're against Kansas' two biggest rivals — No.15 Missouri, which is 11-10 in the Big 12, and Kansas State.
"I think our players are really looking forward to the challenge," Kansas coach Ritch Price said.
Tonight Kansas will host Oral Roberts (34-12) for its final nonconference game at Hoglund Ballpark this season. Sophomore left-hander Shaeffer Hall (4-2) will take the mound for Kansas after shutting out Missouri last Tuesday over seven innings at Kauffman Stadium.
But first thing's first.
"Both of us coming through this weekend was big for us and we'll try to do whatever we can to keep it going."
Hall surrendered only five hits to the Tigers and walked two while striking out four. Hall also earned his fourth victory of the season Saturday, pitching three innings of relief against Oklahoma.

above .300, including Brian Van Kirk who is batting .401. Van Kirk also leads Oral Roberts with 11 home runs while Ryan Groth and Juan Martinez have seven apiece.
Of course, Kansas displayed plenty of its power potential against Oklahoma.
The Jayhawks scored 39 runs, which were their most in a Big 12 series, and tallied 45 hits en route to sweeping the
Sooners. Allman led the charge, going 5-for-12 with five runs, four RBI and his fifth home run of the season. He was rewarded for his efforts being named Big 12 Player of the Week on Monday.
But Allman has been a consistent producer in the Kansas lineup all season.
The biggest difference for the Kansas offense last weekend was the production it got from its freshmen - third baseman Tony Thompson and designated hitter Jimmy Waters. The freshmen duo went a combined 11-for-21 with nine runs, 10 RBI and two home runs against Oklahoma.
"I just think both of us are getting

Offense might be especially hard to come by this Friday when Kansas junior left-hander Nick Czyz (2-5) faces off with Missouri all-American right-hander and Wakarusa native Aaron Crow (10-0). Crow boasts a 3.08 ERA and had a 43-inning scoreless streak earlier in the season.

up 29 runs to Oklahoma as its team ERA swelled to 5.40. However, Kansas might catch a break with Missouri and Kansas State. The Tigers are sixth in the Big 12 in runs while the Wildcats are dead last.
"Obviously that Missouri-Kansas thing is a huge rivalry. It's going to be an intense weekend. There's no doubt about it."
Senior right-hander Andres Esquibel (3-4) and freshman right-hander T.J. Walz (4-0) will round out the Kansas weekend rotation.
RITCH PRICE Coach
The next weekend Kansas will shift its attention to in-state rival Kansas State. The first game of the series will be played in Lawrence before the series shifts to Manhattan for the final two games. When the dust settles, the loser of that series may find itself on the
outside looking in when the Big 12 Championship begins.
"Obviously that Missouri-Kansas thing is a huge rivalry," Price said. "It's going to be an intense weekend. There's no doubt about it."

Low grades could penalize sports teams
ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — NCAA president Myles Brand wants college teams concerned as much about academic scores as final scores. If they aren't, they might be barred from NCAA tournaments.
Brand warned the underachievers Tuesday they could get hit with the NCAA's harshest sanctions
— fewer scholarships, reductions in practice and even a postseason ban. Nearly 150 teams face potential scholarship losses and another 26 are on the brink of a postseason ban because of poor academics.
"There are individual institutions who have seen a steady decline (academically) over the last four years, and for them, the situation is dire." Brand said after releasing this year's Academic Progress Report.
Brand was mostly pleased with what he saw in the report. Overall scores improved by four points since the NCAA began collecting data in 2003. There was plenty of reason for concern, too.
More than 700 of the 6,272 Division I teams fell short of the mandated cut score of 925 to avoid penalties, and 218 were assessed punishments ranging from warning letters to reductions in practice
times. Some were granted waivers while others showed enough improvement to avoid penalties.
But the 26 teams that have now scored less than 900 in two consecutive years must improve now. A third consecutive score below 900 would keep them out of NCAA tournaments 2009-10, and a fourth straight year on the list could lead to having Division I status revoked.
Thirty-six teams were assessed two penalties and three schools had more than one team hit twice — Alabama-Birmingham in men's basketball, football and men's golf; San Diego State in baseball and
football; and San Jose State in baseball and men's basketball.
Florida International had five teams — baseball, football, men's basketball, men's outdoor track and field and women's swimming — receive one sanction each.
The NCAA also is reconsidering how it views summer school classwork, transfers and the fact that basketball is a two-semester sport. Brand said he hopes there will be changes by next year.
Other trends in the report show:
—Women continue to outperform men, with a four-year average of 969 compared to 951.
Historically black colleges and universities, which last year had a disparate percentage of low scores, fell more in line with national averages this year.
The percentage of athletes who leave school academically ineligible has decreased from 3.7 percent in 2003 to 2.9 percent last year.
The scores were based on academic performance from 2003-07. Athletes earn one point for remaining academically eligible each semester and another point each semester they remain at the school, accumulating a maximum of four points each year.

Committee sets rules for Olympic participants
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Waving the Tibet flag or paying tribute to the Dalai Lama during the medals ceremony will be against the rules at the Beijing Olympics, though the penalties for those infractions remain unknown.
With fewer than 100 days until the Beijing Games, the International Olympic Committee clarified its protest rules Monday, saying that athletes' external appearance, clothing and gestures would be scrutinized at Olympic venues.
The IOC sent a six-point letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, to the national Olympic federations in response to their request for interpretations of Rule 51.3 of the Olympic charter. That rule states "no kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas."
The letter expanded on the rule, saying: "The conduct of participants at all sites, areas and venues includes all actions, reactions, attitudes or manifestations of any kind by a person or group of persons, including but not limited to their look, external appearance, clothing, gestures, and written or oral statements"
But there were no guidelines about possible punishment, which kept in step with IOC president Jacque Rogge's stance. Asked about Rule 51 last month, he said, "I'm not
in a sanction mode, definitely not;"
The U.S. Olympic Committee was studying the new guidelines. Spokesman Darryl Seibel said the USOC has a disciplinary board at every Olympics, and that group would likely decide if discipline was warranted should an American athlete break Rule 51.
The IOC has long relied on Rule 51.3 as its guiding principle for Olympic participants, but has been pressed of late to offer more guidance in light of recent protests over Tibet and China's crackdown on dissenters.
"We're not going to deal with hypothetical situations," Seibel said. "As has been the case with previous games, Rule 51 is the guide. We expect every member of our delegation to comply with Rule 51. We don't intend to introduce guidelines that would be any more restrictive than Rule 51."
He said all the world's athletes are expected to follow the rule, "and that will be the case with our delegation as well."
Last month, Rogge said IOC officials will use common sense to decide whether athletes are simply celebrating victories or using them to make political statements.
"Freedom of expression is something that is absolute. It's a human right. Athletes have it." Rouge said.
Seibel said the new guidelines would be passed onto leaders of the individual sports, who would be asked to tell their athletes about them.
Jayhawks to return top players
》 WOMEN'S GOLF
BY JOSH BOWE jbowe@kansan.com
The Jayhawks women's golf team's season might have ended in disappointment a few weeks ago with a 10th place finish at the Big 12 Tournament, but according to coach Erin O'Neil that doesn't mean nothing was accomplished. O'Neil is excited for next season because of the young players that have emerged within the last two years, including sophomore Emily Powers, whose season still continues in the NCAA individual Regional the runs May 8th through 10th.
"Really excited for Powers," O'Neil said. "All I've told her is to just stay in the present and she'll be fine."
Powers is just one of many reasons for why upcoming seasons could be special ones for the Jayhawks. Powers led the jav Hawks.
Fortunately, the Jayhawks will be losing only one senior to graduation. Unfortunately, that senior is Annie Giangrosso, who has been
consistent with her game all year. She had the 5th best scoring average this year at 78.20, which is not far behind Powers. Thiry
and Bal. "Annie left a positive impact on the program," O'Neil said. "She had a great career here and we'll miss her." Giangrosso understands it's time to move on as well. "It's bittersweet," Giangrosso said. "But I'm ready to move on,

with a 75.53 scoring average. But it isn't just Powers who has paved the way. Freshmen, Grace Thiry and Meghna Bal, finished close behind Powers with scoring averages of 77.66 and 77.86 respectively. "We're really young," O'Neil said. "We just need to learn and build from this season."

you can't play college golf forever." Hopefully the development of the three young players will help ease the loss of Giangrosso, but her leadership and experience will be missed. The Jayhawks had to tackle some difficult courses this year, especially the final course at the Big 12 Tournament. The 7,095 yd. par 72 Karsten Creek Golf course was trouble for all golfers, not just Jayhawks. "Not very many shot under an 80," O'Neil said. "It's one

As far as recruiting goes, O'Neil has taken an international approach. Freshmen Thiry and Bal, along with sophomore Camilla Svensson, all came from overseas.

With two outs, Anderson homered on Joel Peralta.
Royals starter Brett Tomko pitched seven shutout innings in his best outing of the season.
Santana lowered his ERA to 2.02, a huge improvement from last year when he finished 7-14 with a 5.76 ERA after going a combined 28-16 over the previous two seasons.
"He got a little frustrated last year because he was going out there at times without the tools he needed to do what he's doing now," Angels manager Mike Scloscia said. "He needed to work on his delivery and get back into his game. When he's out there on the mound and he has his mechanics together, it's a great combination."
At Detroit, Mike Lowell hit a two-run homer for his first RBIs this season. Kevin Youkilis and David Ortiz also connected for Boston, which won its fourth straight game and sent the Tigers to their fourth consecutive defeat.
Matsuzaka matched the major league high for walks this season but didn't allow
a hit until Curtis Granderson's two-out RBI single in the fourth. He gave up one run and two hits with one strikeout, throwing 109 pitches.
"There's not too many outings where you walk that many and still win," Francona said.
Red Sox reliever Craig Hanson, just called up from the minors, gave up two runs in 1 2-3 innings. Hideki Okajima worked 1 1-3 scoreless innings before Jonathan Pelabon
pitched the ninth for his 10th save in 10 chances.
Tigers starter Jeremy Bonderman (2-3) allowed four runs and seven hits in six innings.
"We couldn't get a hit bunched in with all the walks," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "We had good at-bats against Daisuke, but we couldn't get the big hit."

NBA PLAYOFFS
Matured Kobe lands MVP award
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NY
ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant slams a basket against Dallas Mavericks during the second quarter of the basketball game at the Staples Center Friday, in Los Angeles. Bryant was named Most Valuable Player for the first time in his career.
LOS ANGELES — Finally, an MVP award for Kobe Bryant.
Regarded as the NBA's best player for several years but never its most valuable, Bryant earned the honor at last on Tuesday after leading the Los Angeles Lakers to the best record in the Western Conference.
He entered the season as the league's two-time defending scoring champion. He had finished as high as third in the MVP voting twice — after the 2002-03 season, when he averaged 30 points for the first time, and last year when Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki won.
Bryant received 82-first-place votes and 1,105 points in the media vote. He was followed by New Orleans' Chris Paul (28 and 889), Boston's Kevin Garnett (15 and 670) and Cleveland's LeBron James (1 and 438).
Bryant will receive the trophy Wednesday night from commissioner David Stern before the Lakers face Utah in Game 2 of their conference semifinal. The Lakers won the opener 109-98.
This season there was no denying the Lakers' 6-foot-6 star. Los Angeles rose to the top of the West despite key injuries and following Bryant's trade demands last spring when his team was eliminated in the first round by Phoenix for the second straight year.
Bryant averaged 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.84 steals while playing all 82 games despite tearing a ligament in his right pinkie in February. He put off surgery until after the Olympics.
The knock on the 29-year-old Bryant had been that he didn't make those around him better — not anymore.
"He's deserving in this particular season with all of the question marks and everything going on coming into the season and the uncertainty," teammate Derek Fisher said. "Not only did he statistically have an MVP type of season, everybody can reasonably say they were better this year because of
what he did. He met the so-called criteria, elevating his teammates' games."
Bryant, second in the NBA in scoring behind James, is the first Laker to win the MVP award since Shaquille O'Neal in 2000.
Bryant and O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive championships, from 2000-02, and a berth in the finals in 2004. The Lakers hadn't won a playoff series since until sweeping Denver in the first round last month.
Assistant coach Brian Shaw, who played for the Lakers from 1999-03, has noticed a big difference in Bryant.
"He's a much better teammate now than he was in the championship days. That's a credit to his maturation. There were definitely times when he was not a good teammate. No one worked harder than he did. The same is true today," Shaw said.
"In terms of connecting with his teammates off the court, he didn't do that very much. Now, from what I hear, he goes out to dinner with them all the time. Who knows? Maybe he likes these teammates better than us." Shaw added with a laugh.
Bryant has said this was his best regular season and his most enjoyable — a far cry from his feelings last spring. First, he challenged the Lakers to upgrade their roster, then demanded a trade.
Things quieted down and Bryant said all the right things during training camp until Lakers owner Jerry Buss said he would listen to trade offers. That upset Bryant again, but he promised he would focus on basketball once the season began. And so he did.
After a 9-8 start, the Lakers put it together. The most obvious upgrades were Fisher and Pau Gasol, acquired Feb. 1 from Memphis. The Lakers already had Andrew Bynum, Jordan Farmar and Sasha Vujacic — all former first-round draft choices — when Bryant had his tirade last spring. All three, especially the 20-year-old Bynum, showed great improvement, but the 7-footer hasn't played since injuring his left knee Jan. 13.
Another talented newcomer, Trevor Ariza, has been sidelined since breaking his right foot Jan. 20. Gasol missed nine games late in the season because of a sprained ankle.
Through it all, led by their MVP the Lakers kept winning. And now they appear to have as good a chance as any team to win another NBA championship.

Philadelphia Phillies' Jamie Moyer delivers a pitch during the sixth inning of a baseball game against the Arizona Diamondbacks Monday in Phoenix.
Phillies pitcher still strong in 558th start
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — Jamie Moyer wanted to set the tone when the Philadelphia Phillies opened a seven-game trip to Arizona and San Francisco.
He pitched seven strong innings and had an RBI double Monday night in an 11-4 victory over the Diamondbacks in a matchup of division leaders.
"It's a big road trip for us, coming west of the Mississippi, and that's a good way to get started," Moyer said.
Moyer, a career .141 hitter, singled and doubled for the fifth multi-hit game in his career.
"When you put the bat on the ball, you never know what can happen," Moyer said.
The 45-year-old Moyer outpitched 23-year-old Arizona rookie Max Scherzer, who was born on July 27, 1984 — less than two years before Moyer made his major league debut.
Scherzer threw 98 mph fastballs in his first major league start. Moyer, making in his 558th start, countered with an assortment pitches that topped out in the low 80s.
"That's amazing sometimes how that 98 (mph) gets hit and that 78 wins," Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel said. "I think the law of gravity grabs it sometimes."
In other NL games Monday, it was: Cincinnati 5, Chicago 3; St. Louis 6, Colorado 5; and the Los Angeles Dodgers 5, the New York Mets 1.
Scherzer (0-1) talked as if he had received a pitching tutorial
"He rope-a-dopes you to death," Scherzer said. "I know firsthand, he throws a 74 mile-an-hour change, then backs it up with a 71 mile-an-hour change. He's cutting it to both sides of the plate at 81 or 82, and his fastball's about the same velocity, but he knows how to pitch. Been doing it awhile."
from Moyer.
Moyer chuckled when asked if he remembered his first start — a victory for the Chicago Cubs over Philadelphia's Steve Carlton on June 16, 1986.
"It was against my idol, Steve Carlton, so it was pretty exciting," Moyer said.
And did Moyer hit 98 mph on the radar gun that day?
"Back then, I don't think they had radar guns," he said.
Moyer kept the Diamondbacks off balance all night, retiring 10 straight between the second and fifth innings. In the fourth, he struck out Justin Upton and Mark Reynolds looking on 81 mph fastballs, and they shook their heads as they walked back to the dugout.
In his longest outing this season, Moyer (2-2) allowed two runs and six hits, struck out five and walked none.
Moyer won for the first time since April 8, a span of six starts. He said he has plenty to work on before his next start.
"It's still a work in progress," Moyer said. "I feel like you taking some small steps. But the consistency that I would like is just not quite where I want it."
Moyer had plenty of support on a night the Phillies managed a season-high 17 hits.

BOSTON — LeBron James couldn't make a basket down the stretch — or at virtually any other time — and the Boston Celtics eked out a 76-72 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night in the opener of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Kevin Garnett scored 28 points to make up for an off night for the rest of Boston's Big Three.
James was held to 12 points on 2-for-18 shooting. He missed three drives and a 3-pointer in the final minute.

Game 2 is Thursday night in Boston.
James scored Cleveland's first basket and then missed his next 10 shots before driving for a layup that cut Boston's lead to 66-65 with 5:34 left.
He then missed his last six shots, including a potential game-tying finger roll that bounced off the inside of the rim with 8.5 seconds left. James scored just two points in the second half while finishing with nine rebounds, nine assists and 10 turnovers.
Rajon Rondo scored all 15 of his points in the first half, and Kendrick Perkins grabbed 12 rebounds for the Celtics. Paul Pierce drew two charging fouts while guarding James but scored just four points on 2-for-14 shooting, and Ray Allen (0-for-4) didn't score.
But at least they had Garnett.
Boston led 68-65 when Daniel Gibson hit a 3-pointer to tie it with 3:18 left.
Zydrunas Igauskas had 22 points and 12 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who shot 31 percent and couldn't make a basket at the end of the game.

Kansas posts four victories at Arkansas meet

Joining Scott in his success at the Arkansas Twilight meet were several other Jawhaws.
"It was just like a big practice with friends from other schools, but it actually counted. It was a great atmosphere."
Senior sprinter and hurdler Ashley Brown regionally qualified for nationals in the 100-meter hurdles with her time of 13.68 seconds.
Senior Egor Agafonov won his ninth consecutive competition, winning the hammer throw with an impressive toss of 67.56 meters.
Brown has been plagued by weather and injuries this season. She posted several regionally qualifying times earlier this season, but because of wind speeds, those times were not eligible. If wind speeds exceed four mph at the beginning of a race, the times cannot be accepted as qualifying marks.
With the conclusion of the last
Despite the difficult season, Brown is still optimistic about the Big 12 Conference Championships, to be held from May 16 to 18. Even though Brown was seeded higher in the Big 12 last season, she is still excited to compete next weekend.
"You always want to be sitting on top, but I think it's less pressure for me than it was last year," she said.
For the women, junior Stephanie Horton took home her second victory in a row in the women's shot put with her throw of 15.73 meters.

Roundting out the victories for Kansas was the women's 1,600-meter relay team. They improved on their regional qualifying mark with a new time of 3 minutes, 35.81 seconds. The new time is the second best 1,600-meter relay in KU history.

Some feel that Boulder's altitude of 5,430
feet might have an effect on the athletes.
Brown, for one, is competing in four events in one day and feels that her recovery after each event might be hindered by the thinner air.
Head coach Stanley Redwine doesn't think the altitude will have much effect on the results, as Colorado will be the only team to partially benefit.
"When it's time to race, it's time to race," Redwine said. "If you look for excuses going in, you're probably going to find them. We can't control the altitude, but we can control what we're trying to do and we have to go in and compete our very best."
With a week off from competition, the Jayhawks should be rested for the meet and ready to compete.

KENTUCKY DERBY Autopsy on fallen horse tests for steroid use
STANTON, Del. — The trainer of Kentucky Derby runner-up Eight Belles on Tuesday ordered drug testing as part of the autopsy, intent on dispelling any suggestion the fallen filly may have been on steroids.
Larry Jones said the tests for performance-enhancing drugs will come back negative on Eight Belles, who was euthanized after breaking both front ankles Saturday.
"I guarantee there were no steroids ever on the horse," Jones said at a news conference at Delaware Park, site of the filly's first win.
Jones said he was responding to unspecified criticism that his horse must have been on steroids because she was so large.
"We're taking a lot of abuse out there. . . We're being accused of steroid abuse because she was so large," he said. "I can tell you that (owner Rick) Porter goes to the sale to look for good horses and that's one of the thing you look for — a horse that's big enough, strong enough and fast enough to compete in big races."
Jones also took a swipe at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which has been critical of jockey Gabriel Saez. PETA has said Saez should have known that the horse was in trouble and that he went to the whip too often.
"I think that it is really and truly the most ridiculous thing I've heard of," he said.
Jones said PETA is capitalizing on a sad situation.
"When this started I feel like maybe their heart was in the right place," Jones said. "I think maybe they were generally concerned."

Baghdad course boosts morale British officer creates 'Green Zone' golf for troops in Iraq
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD — The weight of the 9-iron felt just right. My first swing off the first tee was smooth and the ball sailed straight and true.
For a brief moment I forgot where I was. Then I gazed down the fairway — actually just a few clumps of grass, scrub brush and plenty of rocks.
This is golf, Green Zone style.
One recent afternoon — squeezed in between sandstorms and incoming mortar rounds — a colleague and I hit the links. We dubbed it the Baghdad Open.
But there's nothing really open about it. The nine-hole Crossed Swords Golf Course is closed in by 15-foot concrete blast walls and

watched over by humorless Gurkha guards from Nepal.
The course — a total of 479 rugged, dusty and nerve-fraying yards — was created a year ago by a British military officer who was part of a NATO training mission. Its name comes from one of Saddam Hussein's eccentric architectural legacies that's now a Green Zone landmark: two giant hands holding curved sabers that served as an archway for the late dictator's parade grounds.

Players are allowed only two clubs — a short iron or a pitching wedge, along with a putter. I chose a 9-iron, the club my father taught me to use for my short game since my first feeble swings in preschool. My competitor, Associated Press photographer Petr David Josek, went with a pitching wedge.

It has competition, though. Several years after the fall of the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001, the Kabul Golf Club was cleared of landmines and reopened. Near the DMZ separating the Korean peninsula, the single, 192-yard hole at U.S. Camp Bonifas playfully billed itself as "the world's most dangerous golf course."
In the Green Zone, there is so little grass on the course golfers must carry their own: swatches of artificial turf for all shots except putts.

Living in remission
KU students survive cancer to continue education, moving beyond months of treatment and coping with uncertainty
BY MARY SORRICK msorrick@kansan.com
Jessica Roark sat in the ophthalmologist's office, waiting for the results of a biopsy of the inflammation under her right eyelid. The eyelid had been swelling for weeks but nothing doctors prescribed seemed to help.
She hoped he would prescribe another round of steroid treatments to make the puffiness go away. Instead, he delivered news that sent her reeling.
Jessica had cancer.
In that moment, numbly absorbing her diagnosis, Jessica couldn't see the months of chemotherapy, hair loss and nausea.
She didn't know she would spend more time researching cancer than studying for classes. She didn't know she would lose her eye.
Jessica is among a small number of KU cancer survivors, a group that includes Tracie Revis and Erica Red Corn. For them, being diagnosed with cancer marked the beginning of surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy - literally fighting to stay alive at an age when they should be launching careers and starting their adult lives.
"That air of invincibility that young people have—the sense that they are bulletproof—gets blown out of the water when they have cancer."
Jessica adjusted to the loss of her eye and overcame anxiety about her cancer to work toward degrees in civil engineering and environmental studies. Tracie survived the removal of a tumor the size of a grapefruit and the recurrence of her cancer to study at KU law school. Erica endured the spread of cancer from her knee to her lungs to enter medical school with the belief that the experience would make her a better doctor. Each survivor faced her own set of challenges, but they are all linked by one certainty: I or cancer there is no cure, there

Jennifer Klemp, managing director of the breast cancer survivorship center at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said short-term side effects of chemotherapy and radiation included not only
is only remission.
Although there are no statistics describing the prevalence of cancer among college students, about 70.000 people ages 15 to 39 are diagnosed with cancer each year, according to the Livestrong Young Adult Alliance. Despite improved survival rates for every other age group, cancer survival rates for young adults have not increased in more than 30 years. For college students in this demographic, the treatments can take an especially heavy toll.
In the long term Klemp said cancer treatments could cause a weakened immune system, susceptibility to infections such as pneumonia; early bone loss and the increased likelihood of secondary
cancers wherever radiation was focused on the body.
Robert Twillman, program director of pain management at the KU Medical Center, said the loss of control felt by young patients during treatment could be as difficult to manage as the physical side effects.
hair loss, but also fatigue, depression and decreased cognitive function - a snag for any patient pulling double-duty as a college student.
"That air of invincibility that young people have - the sense that they are bulletproof - gets blown out of the water when they have cancer," Twillman said. "That's something that's not supposed to happen until later in life and it can be tough."

infertility and practical concerns about insurance and future employment forced student patients to grow up fast.
But the world of cancer was about to get a lot more familiar.
Before her diagnosis in October of 2006 Jessica hadn't worried much about cancer or even heard about adenoid cyst carcinoma, a cancer so rare that only about 3,300 people get it each year in the United States.
For all the pain and frustration they endure, Twillman said young cancer survivors had an uncanny resilience in bouncing back.
In January, Jessica underwent four days of in-patient chemotherapy at the University of Iowa's Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center to shrink the tumor in her tear duct.

"There are so many different types and treatments you have to go through," Jessica said. "And how it affects you personally - there's this whole part of life I had absolutely no idea about and I wasn't prepared for it."
Doctors' appointments and treatment plans became the focus of Jessica's daily life. After class, she alternated between coursework and online cancer study sessions.
First, she received intra-arterial chemotherapy - her first ever surgical pro
"I had buzzed my hair before, and when I did it voluntarily, it was different," she said. "You think about gender definitions a lot without your hair. I just didn't feel very feminine."
On campus, she donned a short black wig to avoid strangers' stares. While she kept her mind busy by focusing on classes, her father, John Roark, struggled with the reality of what was happening to his daughter.
She then underwent three more bouts or chemotherapy in the following three days, this time through an IV in her arm.

"You wish you could take the pain away and the hurt away, but you can't," he said. "It's a feeling of helplessness. It's pretty scary."
That helplessness only increased after doctors told Jessica in February that they wouldn't be able to remove the tumor in her tear duct without also removing her eye.

Spotlight KU Culinary on Organizations Club
Mindv Ricketts/KANSAN
BY JENNIFER TORLINE
jtorline@kansan.com
The University of Kansas Culinary club is making its reappearance after being absent for several years.
BROOKSIDE CREATIONS
Dana Schmidt, Wichita sophomore and president of the club, restarted the organization at the beginning of the semester.
"My brother was involved in the club the first time it existed." Schmidt said. "I thought it was such a good idea and we should bring it back."
Dana Schmidt, Wichita sophomore and president of KU Culinary club, Mike Conner, Shawnee senior, and Jamie Wenkle, Topeka sophomore, test recipes for hamburgers and veggie burgers in Schmidt's kitchen. Some of the club's executive members meet early in the week to make sure recipes will work for the full club meetings.
Schmidt and other members of the club spent the beginning of the semester planning and organizing the budget, meetings and rules of the club. They developed the mission statement of the club: "To educate ourselves and enjoy food through hands-on experience."
To provide the hands-on experience, the club had its first cooking meeting on April 26 at Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall. Members cooked hamburgers and veggie burgers at the meeting. They plan on cooking a main dish or a challenge side dish at every meeting.
"We are trying to get a good number of vegetarian and vegan
dishes so that everyone can get involved, regardless of eating habits." Schmidt said.
To help the club get off to a good start, Higgins, a student senator, is helping the club seek general funding for food supplies from Student Senate for next semester.
"Generally student funding is not supposed to be used for food unless it is essential to the organization," Higgins said. "In this case, it is."
The club gets together on at 6 p.m. on Saturdays at Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall. Fifteen members come to meetings on a regular basis.
"A lot of people come to college not knowing how to cook anything other than Ramen or toast, and this gives them the opportunity to cook without disastrous results," Schmidt said.
The club provides members with the ingredients for each meal, but members pay fees to take care of the food costs. Membership to the club is $35 per semester or $5 per meeting.
Claire January, vice-president and Wichita junior, said that the organization was a good fit for her because of her love for cooking and
Next semester the club would like to host classes to give demonstrations and teach cooking techniques. Members are talking about going to Williams-Sonoma in the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo. to attend cooking classes. The club would also like to have cookie or dessert cooking nights.
"The best part about being in the club is cooking with my friends because it is always more fun to cook with your friends than by yourself," Elise Higgins, Topeka sophomore,
said.
"We would love to partner with any other student organization to help with their fundraisers or really anything pertaining to food," January said. "Food and cooking bring people together, and that always contributes to a stronger community."

2. Preheat grill to medium (see Broiler Variation).
3. Place beef in a large bowl and gently mix in cherries, bread-crumbs, garlic, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper until combined. Divide into four equal portions and form into 1/2-inch-thick patties. Make a slight impression in the center of each. (This is so the patties cook evenly and don't puff up.)
4. Oil the grill rack. Grill the patties until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted
into the center registers 160°F, five to six minutes per side. 5. Toast English muffins. Drain the onions. Assemble the burgers on the English muffins with onion slices, lettuce and about 1 tablespoon Cherry Ketchup each.

For a brief moment I forgot where I was. Then I gazed down the fat way — actually just a few clumps of grass, scrub brush and plenty of rocks.
The course — a total of 479 rugged, dusty and nerve-fraying yards — was created a year ago by a British military officer who was part of a NATO training mission. Its name comes from one of Saddam Hussein's eccentric architectural legacies that's now a Green Zone landmark; two giant hands holding curved sabers that served as an archway for the late dictator's parade grounds.
So long as you don't expect anything resembling the country club back home.
This is golf, Green Zone style.
The course "is the sole entertainment that we have here in Iraq," said Air Force Maj. Al Gerald of San Diego as he finished a round. He reported his score was somewhere between "abysmal and miserable."
But there's nothing really open about it. The nine-hole Crossed Swords Golf Course is closed in by 15-foot concrete blast walls and watched over by humorless Gurkha guards from Nepal.
called "browns" as they are made of dirt. The cups are fashioned out of baked bean cans sunk into the ground with large, creepy beetles crawling in the bottom.
One recent afternoon — squeezed in between sandstorms and incoming mortar rounds — a colleague and I hit the links. We dubbed it the Baghdad Open.
Black Hawk helicopters buzzed overhead. Bursts of gunfire interrupted backswings. The threat of incoming rockets and mortars was ever present.
There was, of course, a sand bunker. But oddly, for a desert country, just one.
Arguably the most hallowed spot of American golf — Augusta National, home of the Masters — bills its Amen Corner, holes No. 11, 12 and 13, as among the toughest tests in the golfing world. But I would challenge Tiger Woods to a round at the Green Zone course any day — just to see how his steely concentration would hold up when the mortar alarm blares: "Incoming! Incoming! Take cover!" and shells land nearby.
The greens would more aptly be
Players are allowed only two clubs — a short iron or a pitching wedge, along with a putter. I chose a 9-iron, the club my father taught me to use for my short game since my first feeble swings in preschool.

Associate dean to discuss book on 'The Daily Show'
BY CALEB SOMMERVILLE
cammerville@kansas.com
c. jommerville@kansan.com
A journalism professor will be on "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart tonight.
Perlmutter
David Perlmutter, the associate dean for graduate studies and research in the journalism school, will be on the show tonight at 10 p.m. to talk about his book, "Blogwars: The New Political Battleground."
Perlmutter said he didn't know exactly, what his appearance on "The Daily Show" will entail, or if he'll get to talk to host Jon Stewar. He may be interviewed by Stewart or another correspondent.
BENEFIT OPPORTUNITY
"I'm happy to do either one"
Perlmutter said.
He only knows that he'll be interviewed about his book, which was published in February.
"I hope I'm not important enough for them to make a fool out of me." Perlmutter said. "I'm just a professor."
"The Daily Show" called him last week and confirmed his appearance on the show.
Perlmutter has also appeared on CNN, MSNBC and other networks to talk about public affairs, so he isn't too nervous about being on the show.
Perlmutter said he enjoyed watching "The Daily Show," even though it doesn't necessarily take everything it reports on seriously.
"I think it's hilarious," he said.
He said it was a good source of information for people who didn't necessarily read "five print papers a day" or pay attention to political news.
"I do think it serves as a quasieducational function," Perlmutter
said. He also said "The Daily Show" made political news readily available in an accessible manner.
He began writing "Blogwars" after he noticed the effect interactive media, like blogging, had on the 2004 presidential race and the attempt to get people involved in caucuses, especially among supporters of former candidate Howard Dean.
During this year's election, interactive media will play an important role, especially for young people, Perlmutter said.
He said the University had some connections to "The Daily Show." One of the show's correspondents, Rob Riggle, graduated from the University with a bachelor's degree in theater and film. Another University student, Nathan Rodriguez, is writing his master's thesis about his time as an intern on the show.
Perlmutter said he took a lot of Final Four and NCAA Championship hats and t-shirts for the crew. He said he would try to give one to Jon Stewart.

JayDoc offers care to the uninsured

Patients begin filing the waiting room at a quarter-to-five every Monday and Wednesday. They have no money or health insurance to cover the cost of their visit, treatment or medication. They don't have an appointment, and they may not even have proper identification.
None of that matters at JayDoc, a free clinic operated almost entirely by University of Kansas medical students that has treated about 1,800 uninsured and underserved patients in Kansas City, Kan., each year since its inception in 2003.
At 340 Southwest Blvd., first through fourth-year medical students work alongside volunteer physicians from the community. They serve illegal immigrants, the poor and anyone in need of medical attention from 5 to 9 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday, although volunteers often work as late as 10 p.m. The clinic also holds specialty sessions every other Tuesday in areas such as prenatal care, diabetes and physical therapy.
The services that the clinic provides help alleviate the financial strain on the estimated 335,000 Kansans who do not have health
insurance according to U.S. Census figures from 2006. That figure continues to rise as health insurance prices increase.
Susan hant Govindan, a second-year medical student from Shawnee,
Govindan said the clinic's patient base continued to grow as more and more people became aware of its presence. He said JayDoc helped as many patients as possible despite its limited capabilities and supplies. Patients in need of more attention are referred to other clinics
"There is always something more you can do for your patient that you can't afford. That's just the reality of the way things work."
served as the clinic's finance director for 2007. He said operating JayDoc required around $75,000 raised entirely from donations, grants and fundraisers, not to mention the more than $175,000 in labor volunteered by students and doctors.

or physicians that can assist them.
Laurel Witt, a first-year medical student from Kansas City, Mo., and one of the clinic's three executive co-directors, said it was frustrating to see people suffer from illnesses that could be prevented with proper medical care.
"There is always something more you can do for your patient that you can't afford," he said. "That's just the reality of the way things work."
She said as Americans' health continued to decline with the rise in diabetes and other ailments, people who could not afford health insurance would continue to fall through the cracks of society.
Govindan said approximately 50 percent of the patients treated at JayDoc were either illegal immigrants or considered Spanish their first language, but that a wide range of people took advantage of the clinic's services.
Although many of the patients at JayDoc can be treated in some manner at the clinic, Witt said it was devastating to see the financial and emotional burden people with more serious or immediate injuries could incur.
"I think the major frustrations come when we see the pain, exhaustion and frustration on the faces of our patients," Witt said.
Despite the challenges they face, she said the instances when staff were able to create some sort of relief and hope in their patient's lives made the work worthwhile.
uninsured
With the cost of health care forcing many Americans to do without health insurance, KU medical students are helping bridge the gap. Every week KU medical students help provide free medical care to patients who couldn't afford treatment elsewhere at JayDoc, a completely free clinic in Kansas City, Kan.
She said effective and affordable health care was a need that everyone would face at least once in their lives, making even stop-gap solutions like JayDoc valuable.
"It seems to me that disease is universal," Witt said. "Life breaks down, aging happens and disease happens to everyone."

CANCER (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"It was the most difficult thing for me to do. But what else are you going to do?" she said. "It's either lose your eye, or you die. So I lost my eye."
The 13-hour surgery took place during spring break, when doctors replaced her eye with muscle and fatty tissue from her wrist. Determined to finish the semester, Jessica returned to classes the next week wearing an eye patch, which some mistook for a fashion statement.
"If I were in Budig walking through a whole bunch of people, I'd get an 'argh', or people would give me a thumbs up to tell me they really liked the eye patch," she said. "People didn't know whether to take it seriously or no
She continued to wear the eye patch through the summer, which she spent in Iowa receiving radiation treatments.
it seriously or not."
on her past few months.
"She relishes every moment, and with good cause.It's amazing to see the courage in your own child. It surprises you that there's that much there."
Five days a week for seven weeks, she received radiation for 30 minutes in the morning. She spent her free time in parks, walking along hiking trails and reflecting
"While I was going through treatment, my entire life was consumed by cancer," she said. "I don't want it to define me, but it's not as possible when it's your face. Other people have had other types of cancers and they can at least forget about it a little bit. But I get reminded by strangers. I know I don't look really awful or anything, but it does a once-over on your self esteem."
JOHN ROARK Jessica's father
Part of Jessica's support system while adjusting to life after surgery was her boyfriend of 10 months, Nick Perry, who lost an eye in a lawn mower accident when he was a boy.
When they met in a support group,
Nick was one of the few people Jessica could relate to about her experience.
Now seven months out from her last treatment, Nick said the experience made Jessica a lot less fragile than she had been before.
"She has grown some armor, I guess you could say" he said.
Part of that armor includes
coming to terms with her long-term prognosis, which Jessica sees as fairly bleak. Though her doctors are confident in their treatment methods, Jessica said adenoid cystic carcinoma recurrence rates were about 50/50. If the cancer does spread, there won't be much else the doctors can do.
Despite lingering fears, Jessica decided she wouldn't let the cancer stop her from doing anything. That attitude left her father, John Roark, with a sense of optimism.
"She relishes every moment, and with good cause," he said. "It's amazing to see the courage in your own child. It surprises you that there's that much there."
After a year and a half of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Jessica is on track to graduate in 2010 with two degrees—one in civil engineering and the other in environmental studies.
"Sometimes I think about what happens if I die, but you can't think like that," she said. "You have to live your life however you want to live it. You can't plan for a car accident tomorrow, but you're going to get in your car anyway."

The persistent cough, night sweats and swollen nodes in her neck got worse once school started. By October, symptoms had accelerated to the point where she hardly had the energy to stay awake.

Even now, the smell of the hospital is etched in her memory.
In November, X-rays showed a large mass, 5 by 6 inches, in her chest. Doctors made the decision to crack open Tracie's chest and remove the mass, a procedure that rendered her completely helpless, held together by four wires strung through her chest.

"One of the lessons I had to learn was I'm a control freak." Tracie said. "I tried to get well when I wanted to get well. But you lose control of everything."
"I lost all my freedom," she said. "I went from being completely healthy to not being able to push myself up. I couldn't tie my shoes. I couldn't do anything."
Three weeks before finishing her first semester at law school, Tracie had to drop out.
"I could smell everything," she said. "Smelling chemo, smelling drugs. It just makes you sick."
BUYBACK '08
She didn't have health insurance and Indian Health Services, a federally funded program for American Indians, was her lone source of money for medical bills. Approval for treatments was anything but fast, she said.
In May, doctors performed a stem cell transplant on Tracie. They harvested some of her stem cells then bombarded her with two rounds of ultra-high dose chemotherapy. The treatment, designed to kill any remaining cancer cells in her body, also obliterated her immune system. Only after doctors replaced her healthy stem cells could her immune system rebuild itself. For a month she was confined to the sterile halls of the hospital's chemotherapy ward. Her only freedom was pacing up and down the halls with her IV drip in tow.
She got the call on Christmas Day, 2005 that she had Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and had to wait until March to begin chemotherapy. Doctors told her that Hodgkin's was a relatively treatable cancer, but by the time she began treatment, the tumor in her chest had tripled in size.
Tracie underwent chemotherapy in Oklahoma. After her last treatment in July, doctors released her from the hospital. Her hair had just started to grow back when, in November 2006, X-rays revealed that the cancer had come back with a vengeance.
Three new tumors had developed on the left side of her chest. She started chemotherapy again in January of 2007, helpless against the blurred vision, numbness in her legs, feet and hands, and muscle spasms in her stomach and back that often resulted from the drugs.
Joe Revis, Tracie's younger brother, said the loss of freedom was one of the most difficult things for her to deal with.
and could see out into the world, and yet the longest distance she could travel was up and down the hallway." he said. "That is a really scary thing."

Tracie relied on laughter to cope with her confinement.
When Joe visited her in the hospital, they played video games or entertained each other by fashioning mannequins from inflated latex gloves and extra clothing in the hospital.

Heather Shotton, one of her closest friends, said Tracie's sense of humor helped get her friends and family through the treatment as well.
Andrew Keenan
Andrew Keenan was a second year law student at the KU School of Law when he died from a brain tumor on Jan. 31, 2005.
Doctors found the baseball-sized tumor in his left temporal lobe in March of 2003. Though he knew his cancer was terminal, Andrew continued to attend class in the midst of five surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation. Erica Brown, who was Andrew's fiancé, said that
Despite being 11 credits short of graduating, the KU School of Law awarded Andrew his law degree on Jan.28,2005 -- three days before he died. The Andrew Keenan Memorial Scholarship established by law school faculty is awarded to incoming law students who exemplify Andrew's character.
even toward the end of his life he remained passionate about studying law. He had planned to go into politics and run for Senate.
"I'll never be a normal law student. I can't push as hard as everyone else. In my head I'm 10 feet tall and healthy, but it's just not so."
and have fun." Heather said. "I think she really understood the importance of laughter."
Doctors released Tracie from the hospital in June. For the rest of the summer, she spent every weekend at stomp dances with her Yuchi tribe in Oklahoma, reveling in the opportunity to be outdoors and breathe fresh air - replacing the negative smells from chemotherapy with the smoky smell of campfires and the chirps of locusts.
Tracie was readmitted to KU Law and headed back to Lawrence
TRACIE REVIS KU law student
in August to work toward her degree.
She was determined not to let cancer stop her again and spent the first six weeks of the semester finishing the last six of her radiation treatments before class each
morning.
Her friend, Heather, said the experience fueled Tracie's passion to be an advocate for others.
"More than anything, it changed her perspective and outlook," Heather said. "Good grief, you talk about tenacity. I'm always amazed at her."
But life after treatment is not the same as before. Last fall, as a result of her cancer treatment, Tracie began early menopause at the age of 30. She also gets sick and rundown more easily than others her age.
"I'll never be a normal law student," she said. "I can't push as hard as everyone else. In my head
Tracie will spend this summer in Washington, D.C., interning for U.S. Rep. Rail M. Grijalya, D-Ariz. Her experience battling cancer strengthened her resolve and determination to use her law degree to improve Indian health care and the lives of Native American children.
"When I was going through the cancer, I didn't know how to fight it and I didn't have a voice," she said. "Now I live my life like I remember what I'm fighting for."
At 15, she was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare cancer that primarily afflicts teenagers, and spent her entire sophomore year of high school in outpatient chemotherapy to shrink the tumor that had developed in her left knee. The summer before her junior year, doctors removed the tumor and replaced the bottom 4 inches of her femur with donor bone, a procedure that caused nerve damage and left her with a permanent limp.
Erica had already endured chemotherapy, radiation and bone transplant surgery before entering the University as a freshman in 2001.
She got through treatment with support from her family and boyfriend, now husband, Alex Red Corn, and started at the University, anxious to escape the "cancer girl" label that followed her through high school. That fresh start was cut short two months into her first semester when doctors told Erica the cancer had spread to her lungs.

"As a parent, you feel like your main job is to protect your child from harm," she said. "You get into that situation and realize you're helpless. I remember just feeling like the bottom had fallen out of my world."
the second diagnosis was even more difficult than the first.
Having already gone through treatment once, Erica knew what was coming. She started chemotherapy right away, but convinced her doctors to let her stay in school until after finals.
"I wanted to finish the semester because, in the back of my mind, I thought this could be my last chance to go to college," she said.
In December, Erica left school to get inpatient chemotherapy through May. A stem cell transplant in May and another round of chemotherapy followed.
Though the hair loss, nausea and fatigue were easier to deal with the second time around, she knew the relapse reduced her chances of survival.
However, many of the lasting effects of her treatment have been difficult to shake.
Alex, whom Erica married in 2006, said the experience brought them closer together.
"It's over to a lot of people, but for Erica, a lot of it will never be over," Alex said.
Because of her weakened immune system, Erica has had pneumonia four times. Now, any symptom of illness and it's back to the doctor's office.
"Just the thought that there might not be anything left to do could start up these panic attack feelings," she said. "I wasn't ready to go. I didn't feel like I was 95 and had led this long life and could be at peace with it."
Now, six years after her last treatment, her experience has served her well as a student at the KU School of Medicine. She said her own experience in hospitals would make her a more sympathetic doctor and a better listener.

optimistic and thick nothing bad will happen. But my personality doesn't jive with that and I feel like I just don't have that luxury any more," she said
She and Alex started the adoption process in the fall. In the meantime, Erica is focused on medical school. It can be difficult, she said, because she's almost always tired and often struggles with her long-term memory. At times, she wonders if she can chalk it up to the cancer.
Most days she does fine with her limp and the brace she's had to wear since her surgery 10 years ago. But having to wear tennis shoes on her wedding day was another reminder of the grip that cancer still has on other parts of her life.
Though she has reconciled herself with most of the long-term effects of her treatment, she continues to struggle with ovarian failure and infertility caused by months of chemotherapy.

United Students wins Student Senate with 48 percent of vote
CHRONICLE
Adam McGonigle and Michael Gillaspie of United Students celebrate after being elected president and vice president of Student Senate. This is the second year United Students has won the presidency.
BY BRENNA HAWLEY

Shouts of joy filled The Yacht Club when members of United Students heard their coalition won the presidency of Student Senate for next year.
Students voted 48 percent in favor of Adam McGonigle, Wichita sophomore, for president and Michael Gillaspie, Ashland junior, for vice president.
The candidates received 2,005 votes, which was 200 more than ConnectKU's candidates received. Students of Liberty came in third with 305 votes.
McGonigle, who served as Student Executive Committee Chair this year, said the experience he received from the job prepared him for the presidency.
"This means good things for Student Senate," McGonigle said. "We will work to get things done for the University."
McGonigle said his mentor was current student body president Hannah Love.
Love, Dodge City senior, said she would work to make McGonigle's transition into office a smooth one. She said that even though McGonigle was going to be a junior, his age would not affect his ability to be an effective president.
"He is mature enough and has the skills he needs," Love said.
Gillaspie said it was exciting to win after talking all day to students passing by about platforms he wanted to accomplish.
"I've been spending countless hours on campus," Gillaspie said. "I know all about lack of sleep."
Gillaspie's role as vice president includes chairing Senate meetings, which means keeping order and preventing meetings from getting out of hand. He said he had leadership roles before and was prepared.
United Students won all 14 freshman-sophomore CLAS senate seats, which McGonigle said showed how good of a coalition it was all around.
Libby Johnson, Lawrence freshman, won one of those seats and said that winning all 14 was amazing.
"It shows how hard we worked" Johnson said.
United Students won 30 Student Senate seats in addition to the presidency, ConnectKU won 26 seats, and an independent won one. Gillaspie said this will mean a split Senate, but he was ready to take on controversy.
McGonigle said he was going to visit ConnectKU members to shake their hands and talk about how to work together in the upcoming year.

For most college students, reality television is a guilty pleasure. For the seven University sophomores who participated in "High School Confidential," a WE TV documentary about high school life in Overland Park, it describes their high school lives perfectly.
When the show premieres on March 10, Cate, Crystle, Beth, Sarah T., Gina, Cappie and Courtney will see some of the most personal details about their high school lives on display for anyone with cable to see.
Their last names and the high school the girls attended are not revealed in the show.
Filmmaker Sharon Liese captured a variety of emotions, challenges and successes that each girl experienced during the course of four years through interviews and documentary work. "High School Confidential" has been the talk of Internet message boards because of the network's work promoting the
show on Youtube and increasing media coverage. Four of the girls are in New York this week for appearances on the "Tya Banks Show" and "Good Morning America."

Multicultural Resource Center opens

BY BRENNA HAWLEY
bhawley@kansan.com
The Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center opens today after months of construction delays. The building replaces the old center behind the Military Science Building and is available for all University students.
Building a new center was a goal of Steve Munch's, 2004-2005 student body president. His goal has translated into a new building next to the Kansas Union with vaulted ceilings, recycled materials and lots of natural light.
Santos Nuñez, program director for the center, said the new center
gave center users the opportunity to expand their programming. It has an academic resource center, a resource library, a classroom, a workspace, a kitchen, a conference room and offices.
Dan Sabatini, 1986 graduate, said the family decision to fund the center was to give opportunities not only to minorities but to bring them exposure.
Núnez said the center outgrew its old space on campus and had too much programming for the small building. The center provided meeting space for many different campus groups, speakers, workshops and a tutoring program. Núnez said the new building provides more space and is more accessible to everyone on campus.
"We didn't have a space where we could go with all of our materials there." Huang said.
old center wasn't big enough for meetings. His group had to reserve different rooms in the Kansas Union for meetings.
"It's a very important part of a healthy community to engage everyone and treat everyone equally;" Sabatini said.

The Ecumenical Christian Ministry board decided not to sell the building on 12th and Oread Streets to the developers who are trying to build the Oread Inn.
Thad Holcombe, campus pastor at ECM, said the board talked about the sacred space associated with the building and the historical significance it held for students, alumni and community members.
The ECM board estimated that it would need more than $700,000 to upgrade and repair the building. Holcombe said that after the
stories about the situation were published in The University Daily Kansan and then in the Lawrence Journal-World, he was approached by people who wanted to help save the building.
"We are really encouraged." Holcombe said.
Holcombe said a consulting firm had offered to do a free feasibility study for the ECM to see how much money the ECM needed to raise for renovations.
Tom Harper, founder of Lawrence Modern, a community group that focuses on mid-century architecture and design, said he approached Holcombe after he
heard about the possibility of the ECM building being demolished. Harper said he and Holcombe were in the preliminary stage of getting the building designated as historic in the national and state registries.
Harper said he would offer as much help as the ECM wanted.
"Our group is definitely interested in keeping the structure there and helping to raise money so it can continue to serve the community," Harper said.
Sarah Martin, national register coordinator with the Kansas State Historical Society, said a building had to be at least 50 years old to be considered historic and have the
Historical Society protect it from demolition. The ECM, built in 1960, has another two years before it can be added to the registry. She said it would probably fall under the historical category of architectural or engineering significance.
Meghan Curry, Wichita senior, said she went to Veggie Lunch at the ECM almost every Thursday.
"I think the decision was a good one," Curry said. "I think it would be a real loss if the ECM wasn't there."

The Crossing, its adjacent buildings and the Oread Heights Apartments were demolished on April 19 to make way for construction of The Oread Inn on 12th and Indiana streets. Casey Stewart, general supervisor for the project, said he estimated the luxury hotel would be completed by 2010.

Heavy machinery reduced The Crossing, Yello Sub and three houses at 12th and Oread streets to debris in just three hours on April 19, forever altering the north-campus skyline.
Dan King, project manager for King Construction, said the demolition began at about 7:30 April 19 and ended at about 10:30 a.m. "It was pretty simple with the big crack excavators" he said.
King said trucks would ship what was left of the building debris to the city dump, which would take about a week. Once the area is cleared out, construction of the Oread Inn will begin. He said it would take about a month to dig the hole for the inn.
Casey Stewart, general supervisor of Oread Construction, said his crew would begin paving the concrete footings for the hotel once the hole was complete. He said the concrete work would take three to five weeks, depending on the weather. He said he estimated the Oread Inn would be finished by 2010.
Joseph Lazarus, Wichita junior, lives across the street from the project at 1137 Indiana St. "I'm all for economic development, and I think
it's good for the city in the long run," Lazarus said. "The short-term effects of the construction are going to be kind of a pain though. Waking up to the early-morning sounds of heavy machinery tearing into the earth will be annoying."
Danny Brownfield, Thiensville, Wis., sophomore, lives at the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity house down the street from the project. He said
his overall opinion about the Oread project was frustration. "I've been a patron of The Crossing for two years now, and it was great because this was the perfect way to come down from campus," Brownfield said. "Yello Sub and The Crossing had been there a really long time, and tearing it all down doesn't really carry on the tradition at KU."
David Barclay, Wichita junior.
who lives near the project at 1211 Oread Ave., said he would miss the house at 1142 Indiana St.
"I just always remember that house as being like 'Animal House,' he said. "It was like the non-fraternity, fraternity house."

Astronaut returns as professor
BY JESSICA WICKS jwicks@kansan.com
Steve Hawley, the astronaut who brought the Jayhawk spirit into space three times, toured Kansas Wednesday before announcing he would return to Mount Oread to teach physics and astronomy.
Hawley, a KU alumnus and three-time space explorer, thanked Chancellor Hemenway for giving him the privilege of teaching at his alma mater, but students argued that they were the lucky ones.
"The aerospace engineering people are drooling over him because they are mad they don't get him," Mark Stockham, Manhattan senior in physics, said.
Stockham, who returns to the University in the fall, is hoping to get into one of Hawley's classes.
Hawley said that he never thought his dream to fly in space would come true, especially three times.
"And now I can't believe that my second dream, to come home to KU, is also coming true."
Hawley will continue to work with NASA through May before he takes up his University responsibilities next fall.
Chancellor Hemenway said that when he met Hawley about five years ago, they started bouncing around the idea that he might return to teach.
"I could stay with NASA," Hawley said, "but then I wouldn't get the chance to work at KU."
Hawley said that he wanted to start a second career, and because he is getting on in years, now was the obvious time to do it.
Rodrigo Duque, Gardner senior, said that he came to see Hawley because he was one of his idols. He even had a piece of a space shuttle Hawley had flown in and a special pen to get Hawley's autograph.
Hemenway said he approached the provests to try to identify the funds to get him here, but didn't have a hard time doing it.
"We really hit it off. He is a very stimulating person to be around," Hemenway said.
"I have been a real fan of space flight since I was a kid," Duque said. "It is very hard and challenging, but really fun."
"Anyone that meets Steve realizes what an addition he will be to the University."
Duque is majoring in aerospace engineering and is sad that Hawley will not be in his department.
Chancellor Hemenway said that they gave Hawley the opportunity to choose which department he wanted to work in and he felt most connected to the astronomy and physics department.
Hawley graduated from the University in 1973 from the astronomy and physics program. He will get to work with his old teacher, Steve Shawl, professor of astronomy and physics, for one semester before Shawl retires from the department.
Karen Ohmes, Hutchinson sophomore minoring in astronomy, said she got to meet Hawley when she worked at the cosmosphere.
"He is a big deal. He really brings something to the department that no else can." Ohmes said, "I hope that I get to take his class."

Members of Kansas' bowling team practice at Jaybowl in the Kansas Union. Beer sales were removed in 1998 because of a car accident that killed a student.
Proposal considered to bring beer back to Jaybowl
BY BRENNA HAWLEY
bhawley@kansan.com
A proposal to bring beer sales back to the laybowl will go to the provost's office this month. If approved, alcohol will be sold at the hangout for the first time since 1998.
The proposal would allow 3.2 percent beer to be sold in the Jaybowl and surrounding Hawk's Nest area from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Sales would be limited to two beers per person to help prevent intoxication. Jaybowl employees would scan IDs, then give a wristband and fluorescent hand stamp to people 21 and older.
Shawn Bowers was a student member of the committee that reviewed the proposal and was the director of public relations for Student Union Activities, which runs alcohol-free activities for students. He said he wasn't thrilled with the idea initially, but with the restrictions in place to prevent underage drinking, he now supported the proposal.
"It's more about creating an environment where students and professors can come and relax," Bowers said. "It would be another option for a mature campus audience."
The proposal said that anyone found drinking underage would be removed from the Kansas Union. It also said that information about campus services such as SafeRide would be posted.
Tim Fields, Lincoln, Neb. senior works at Jaybowl and thinks beer sales would draw people into the bowling alley and the Union.
He said the bowling alley was often full on Friday and Saturday nights, but on weeknights there were empty lanes.
Steve Munch, 2005 student body president, led the initiative to bring beer back to the Kansas Union. Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, denied the proposal then, but is now taking the revised proposal to the provost's office.

Students'confidential information mishandled
University officials are investigating the unauthorized release of personal information and records of students, faculty and employees to local media, including The University Daily Kansan. The Kansan received two manila envelopes containing the personal information on Tuesday.
The envelopes contained fax reports, student tests, Social Security numbers, seating charts and credit applications. A cover letter from an anonymous source was attached to the documents. The letter said the information was from the mathematics department and was retrieved from recycling bins and a dumpster behind Snow Hall. The letter implicated Gloria Prothe, an employee of the department of mathematics, for not properly disposing of personal information.
Lynn Bretz, Director of University Communications, said she didn't know how the information was leaked, but that the
The Kansas City Star and The Lawrence Journal-World received envelopes containing similar information.
Bretz said the investigation would be led by a team made up of officials from the Provost's office, the dean's office, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, human relations, and Jane Rosenthal, the University Privacy Coordinator and Custodian of Records. Bretz didn't give a timeline for the investigation.
University's primary concern was protecting students and preventing their information from further exposure. Bretz said the University was asking for the return of the documents to protect the students and to begin its investigation of the incident.
"This is an issue in society," Bretz said. "We've all been dealing with this for the last five, six, seven years — there's been Web-hacking. People all over the country are saying 'Better not use Social Security numbers as numbers for students at universities.' This is a long wake-up call for everybody."

ENTERTAINMENT Jury selection to begin in R&B singer R. Kelly trial
CHICAGO — It seemed for a while as if R. Kelly's day in court might never come.
But after six years of repeated delays, jury selection begins Friday in the Grammy-winning R&B singer's trial on child pornography charges, prompted by a videotape allegedly showing Kelly having sex with a girl as young as 13.
Prosecutors will have a unique challenge: The alleged victim, now 23, said it wasn't her. And Kelly's
attorneys — including Ed Genson, who often represents the rich and famous — haven't admitted it's Kelly in the video.
"How is there not reasonable doubt when the two people say it's not them?" Michael Helfand, a Chicago attorney not involved in the case, said.
But Helfand conceded that it's unclear what supporting evidence the prosecution might present.
The 41-year-old Kelly faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. But Kelly — one of urban music's biggest stars and a consistent hitmaker despite his legal woes — is glad the
wait is over, his spokesman said.
The trial is expected to draw crowds of reporters and fans to the courthouse. But Gaughan is expected to keep a tight rein on the proceedings, from which cameras, cell phones and recorders are banned.
The centerpiece of the trial is likely to be the video footage, which Judge Vincent Gaughan ruled may be shown in open court.
"Every waking moment, he's always had this hanging over his head," spokesman Allan Mayer said.

Law fails to address all items used illegally
» LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In with the New Year came new ideas, initiatives and laws from the Kansas legislature. One of these laws was Kansas' new law KSA 65-4150 that prohibits stores from selling drug paraphernalia. This law for the most part is totally bogus and should be reviewed.
According to KSA 65-4150, any person selling paraphernalia, which is defined as anything that can be used to administer illegal drugs into one's system, may be prosecuted thoroughly by state law. This law did a good job making it illegal to sell meth and crack paraphernalia, which can only be used exclusively to smoke those substances.
However, it is also illegal to now sell vaporizers, water pipes and even tobacco pipes, which are used to smoke tobacco.
Yes, sometimes people use them for things that are illegal, but they do the same thing with Coke cans, apples, watermelons, oranges, carrots and many other household items.
Why isn't the Kansas government arresting farmers or the producers of Coke and Pepsi?
Kansas legislators need to revise this law because it is hurting local businesses.
— Lars Whalen, Fort Thomas, Ky., freshman

Don't make Holcomb another crime scene
This tiny town in western Kansas is known by the crimes that have been committed there. It was the location of the Clutter family murders in 1959 that Truman Capote popularized in his work "In Cold Blood."
Since the book's 1964 publica
Since the book's 1964 tion, those crimes in the town of Holcomb have mostly faded from the public's mind. But a new crime is on the verge of being committed, this time by Sunflower Electric, a Hays-based power company that is
trying to build two 700-megawatt coal-fired power plants there.
Carbon dioxide is one of the main culprits of global warming, and electricity generation from the proposed coal-fired generators in Holcomb would emit 11 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. This much carbon dioxide would negate green initiatives taken by the New England states and make Kansas home to the one of the largest single sources of carbon dioxide west of the Mississippi River.
dioxide emissions and relied on the Supreme Court's 2007 ruling that declared carbon dioxide a pollutant.
Despite its crimes, Sunflower Electric hasn't been stopped dead in its tracks.
Opponents of the plant thought their battle was over when Roderick Bremby, Secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, rejected Sunflower's application for air quality permits. He cited concerns about carbon
OUR VIEW
But supporters of the plant are ready to fight to the death, and they have a nice helping hand from the leaders of the Kansas
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius vetored both bills, but last week the Senate was able to gather enough votes to override the first veto. Since then, the action has been like watching the most time-consuming game of tennis: The complete override of the first veto failed in the House. The Senate overrode the second veto, which the House is scheduled to vote on Friday. Just this past Tuesday, the Senate passed yet another version of the bill, this time tacking a few more "economic development initiatives" onto it.
House and Senate, who are both from Western Kansas. After Bremby rejected the permits, the debate moved to the Legislature, which passed two different bills, stripping
Although Western Kansas needs an economic boost, a coal-fired power plant is not the way to bring in money. Instead, the Legislature should be sponsoring initiatives to promote energy conservation or for funding for green energy
Bremby of his regulatory authority and allowing the plants to be built,
projects like solar panels or wind turbines. These projects look progressively into the future, instead of forcing Holcomb residents to live in the shadows of an outdated coal plant.
In addition, most of the plant's electricity would be sent out of state, leaving only 15 percent for Kansas, but the state gets to keep 100 percent of the pollution.
Some argue that if the plant isn't built here, the project will be moved to a neighboring state. But in the wake of Bremby's decision, other states and energy companies have been paying close attention to the debate. Bremby said 20 projects to build coal-fired power plants have been canceled, three have been delayed and others have been denied at the state level.
It is horrifying that so many members of the Legislature have supported these bills and are neglecting the long-term needs of the state in terms of environmental protection and economic prosperity, which are not mutually exclusive.
The Kansan editorial board supports Marci Francisco, the state senator from Lawrence, and Barbara Ballard, the area's state representative, who both voted to uphold Sebellius' veto and protect the environment and the health of all Kansans.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
May 1 marked five years since President Bush landed on the deck of the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, declaring, under the banner "Mission Accomplished": "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed." On that day, the toll of American dead in Iraq stood at 140. Today, the count exceeds 4,000. That moment, the president so full of himself, has become representative of a White House arrogant, unknowing and ill-prepared.
Whose mission has been accomplished?
More, the scene has become emblematic of an attitude of loose optimism. Capture Saddam Hussein, and the tide would turn. Or hold elections. Or craft a constitution. Or launch the "surge" which for all the "breathing space" achieved has yet to yield the necessary

The strategy still amounts to waiting for Iraqis to do their part. What the Bush team failed to understand is how difficult that would prove in such a fractured country.

editor's note
BY MATT LINDBERG
MUNDBERG-KANSAN.COM
I never thought I'd find myself saying that I would miss school. However, as graduation day approaches, all seniors, including myself, will prepare to exit the University and enter the real world and (hopefully) have jobs lined up.
The traditions and superstitions of the Campanile
I remember when I first moved into Ellsworth Hall four years ago and didn't really know what to expect. Before I knew it, I had been admitted into the William Allen White School of Journalism, joined The Kansan and watched the Jayhawks win the Orange Bowl and the NCAA title. Now I ask myself "Where did it all go?" and cringe when my Dad talks about alumni.
I will miss walking through one of the most beautiful campuses in the nation, eating lunch in The Underground working for The University Daily Kansan and sitting in the student section at football and basketball games.
However, what I will miss most are the people. Since arriving at the University in 2004, I have met a ton of terrific people. The faculty I was fortunate enough to learn from during my four years here have guided me in the right direction to have a successful future.
And of course, my friends. I have met some of the best friends I could ever ask for, and I will miss them, although I am sure we will remain friends in the future.
A large crowd gathered in the open field, with a tall tower in the background.
To all seniors, congratulations on graduating. I hope all of you reflect on your time at KU as a great time in your life. I know I will. Best of luck, and Chalk Chalk jayhawk!

On May 18, seniors will filter through the Campanile and walk down the hill to Memorial Stadium for commencement. Walking through the Campanile is a tradition for graduates.
The Campanile, the big bell tower that sits pretty on top of the hill of Marvin's Grove, overlooks all of the KU campus and the town of Lawrence. But come May 18, this World War II memorial site that was built in 1951 will be an essential part of the traditional commencement ceremony for KU graduates. There are a few traditions and superstitions about graduating that involve the Campanile.
THE TRADITIONS OF COMMENCEMENT
SETTING UP FOR THE BIG DAY:
The commencement ceremony is always held on the Sunday after finals week at Memorial Stadium, and from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m., traffic on Memorial Drive is prohibited. The ban starts at midnight the Saturday before.
The ceremony is held at 2:30 p.m., and 30 minutes before the start, KU graduates assemble and line up along Memorial Drive. The graduates walk toward the ceremony in pairs of two and walk through both the campanile doors down the path
WALKING THROUGH THE CAMPANILE:
that leads to Memorial Stadium for the beginning of Commencement. While they walk down the hill, it is traditional for the graduates' family and friends to stand on the hill to take pictures or film them while they are walking down.
BELLS CHIMING:
It is a tradition on graduation day that the bells on top of the Campanile tower play all afternoon as the students walk through the Campanile.
SUPERSTITIONS OF THE CAMPANILE
WALKING THROUGH
THE CAMPANILE EARLY:
One common superstition that many KU students are familiar with about the Campanile is walking through it before you graduate. The legend is that it's bad luck if a student walks through both Campanile doors before they are supposed to graduate, because if they do, then they will not graduate on time. Legend also states that if you happen to go inside the Campanile, you should go out the same door as you entered in to.
KISSING UNDER
THE CAMPANILE:
This is another common superstition
about that Campanile. Legend has it that if you kiss your significant other under the Campanile, then that will be the person you marry. However, there are two alternatives: one is you kiss them anytime during the day; the other is kissing them while the bells are ringing. Whichever way it goes, essentially kissing your boyfriend or girlfriend under the Campanile will lead you to get hitched. So before you continue on the tradition, here are some do's and don'ts of walking down the hill.
DO:
- Get there on time: That way you
* won't be the last person to walk
- Pair up with someone who you like: That makes it more fun to walk down the hill.
DON'T:
- Wear comfy shoes: You'll have to walk a lot to get to the ceremony, and you want to be focused on the ceremony and not on the blisters on your feet.
- Take forever to walk down:
Remember, there are several thousand other students that are walking along with you.
- Walk before you graduate: Yeah, it's a superstition, but it also takes the fun out of it.
- Be overdressed: It's hot, especially with the polyester robes. Stick with cotton, not synthetic fabrics, for your other clothes.

Biology
you during your time at KU? I know a lot of people who have waited their whole college career to walk under it, but I never had that feeling.
How does it feel to finally walk under the Campanile?
It's not really a big deal to me, it's more of a symbolic thing.
What significance has it had for
Have you walked under it before?
I walked under it my freshman year. I was with a girl at the time,
and we were talking about the superstition thing and about walking under it prematurely. It was kind of eerie because it was in the middle of the night and the tower was making noise because of the wind. I decided to go for it, and everything has worked out for me so far. The girl I was
with didn't walk under it, and she is also graduating.
How do you think you will feel while walking down the hill? I will feel combination of happy and sad. I will miss the friends that I have made here and the KU spirit, but I will also be happy to move on in my life and I look forward to the challenges ahead of me.
What are you doing after graduation?
I am taking a year off from school, and then I am applying to medical school—hopefully KU Med.

Psychology
Psychology How does it feel to finally walk under the Campanile? It's exciting to finally walk through the Campanile. What significance has it had for you during your time at KU? I have heard so many past graduates talk about how exciting it was to walk down with all of your friends and I am really looking forward to that.
Have you walked under it before?
I have always heard the superstition that if you walk through the
Campanile before graduation you would not make it, and I actually know someone who that happened to, so I always stuck to the superstition and kept my distance.
Do you think other people see it as a big deal?
I definitely think for some people they have waited their four years to walk through it and to others it makes no difference. I know many of my friends are all looking forward to finally go through it together.

top 5 graduation songs
As seniors prepare to make the transition from college to the real world, so much is going on. I know some of us can't even believe that graduation day is knocking on our front door, but these songs might have what it takes to really put you in the mood for graduation.
Number Five: R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly"
R. KELLY
believe I Can Fly
No one can deny the importance of this classic Space Jam ballad, despite the sex tape scandal. It encourages all of us to "spread our wings and fly." If this song was enough motivation for Michael Jordan, there is no reason it can't be for any senior.
Number Four: 50 Cent's "I Get Money"
Probably not the most
curtis
thought of song for graduation, but I certainly think so. The New York rapper boasts about the money he has and the money he hopes to earn. I think all seniors can admit money is on their mind as they make the transition into real world jobs. Not to mention, 50 is on point lyrically and has put out a great party anthem.
EVE 6
Number Three: Eve 6's "Here's To the Night"
You'll take a stroll down memory lane thinking of your times at the University of Kansas listening to this rock ballad. Whether it was when you and your friends went to a fun house party, a crazy time at a bar or when we brought home the Orange Bowl or NCAA Championship. The rock trio does a good job of capturing the emotions that tend to run deep during graduation.
Number Two: Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)"
Green Day
I probably don't need to justify this one. It was a major anthem during our middle school and high school graduations, so why not for college? Hey, if it worked for Jerry Seinfeld when he wrapped up his sitcom Seinfeld in 1998, then it works for us.
Number One: Journey's "Don't Stop Believing"
BSC 427
This song will get any party or social gathering dancing in no time and is definitely a sing-along loved by many. The lyrics speak for themselves. Trust me when I say that this is must have on your graduation playlist.

Harvard undergraduate Montgomery Kessler (Brendan Fraser) is expecting to graduate with honors after he turns in his senior thesis.
After a computer crash, he is left only with one hard copy of it. To make it even worse, the copy

ends up in the hands of a squatter called Simon (Joe Pesci). They make a deal: for every day's food Simon will return one page of Monty's thesis.
10. Can't Hardly Wait (1998) Inspired by '80s teen movies, this one is set mostly at a high-school graduation party. It shows the plans different characters have
for the night.
Like in other high-school movies,
there is the prom queen who just broke up with her

boyfriend, the geek who wants to declare his love for her, the virgin guy who is desperately trying for his first time and the cynical girl who doesn't fit into the whole getting drunk and laid thing.
Making graduation parties personal, memorable
BY KATY SAUNDERS editor@kansan.com
Graduation parties in college are a lot different from high school graduation parties. You are celebrating something much bigger, a bigger accomplishment and a bigger next step. Most college graduation parties are much more personal. For some, it is the first time family and friends have come to visit them at the University. For others, it is just another visit. For all, it is the last before the alumni tag is put in place.
Choosing where to celebrate
graduation can be difficult. Many students choose to play host to their own parties, inviting friends and family to come for an open house or other get-to-together. Whatever your style, whether it be a backyard barbecue or a classy cocktail party, throwing a party in your own home has its advantages. You won't have to worry about reserving a banquet room, and you'll be in a memorable location, your college apartment.
Others choose to put on parties at a memorable Lawrence business. Everyone has that one special place in Lawrence that holds all
of their best memories. For some graduation day will be the last day
in Lawrence to say good-bye to those places they love. With family and friends in town and a reason to celebrate, there is no better time to go to that one place you love or the one place you always
There is no better time to go to that one place you love or the one place you always wanted to go but never found the time or money.
wanted to go but never found the time or money.
Lawrence has numerous places to accommodate these families
serious places these families and friends that want to celebrate your accomplishments. HH Bar and Grill, 4931 W. Sixth St., is already completely booked for May 18, the day of commencement. Tim Waters, a
manager at HH, said they were still taking reservations for Saturday
but that it was filling up quickly. And for those upcoming seniors, Watters said it was never too early to book your party.
Another option is the much adored Lawrence original, Free State Brewing Co., 636 Massachusetts St. Free State is where Cassandra Walter, El Dorado senior, made reservations to celebrate with her family and friends. Walter has about 10 guests coming to commemorate her graduation. They will celebrate Sunday night at Free State, and Monday afternoon she will be having another party at a local hotel
A Life Changing Gift
Whether it's a backyard barbecue or an elegant steak dinner, celebrating your graduation is a must. It is one of life's greatest accomplishments, and it shouldn't go uncelebrated. If you don't have friends or family coming to town, or you don't even go to the actual ceremony, grab your friends and go have one last beer at The Wheel and say good-bye to the sweet college life. Think back on all your years at KU, especially this last one, and toast to an even better future.
"Other than that, I plan on going to a lot of bars." Walter said.

What has been the best part about being at KU?
"Not having to be somewhere 40 hours a week and being able to skip class without consequences like a real job would have.
Winning the national championship was pretty good, too."

What is your favorite memory while being at KU?
"Microburst day was the best day; they canceled school and we got to walk around and look at all the trees and damage."
What are your plans after you graduate?
"I am looking forward to medical school, because that's going to be cool. I look forward to being a real adult, but at the same time, it's kind of scary to be out there in the real world."

STUDENT-ATHLETES
What graduation means to KU athletes
KANSAS 82 KANSAS 2
BY JASON BAKER
Jeff Foster celebrates with teammates after winning the Orange Bowl on Jan. 3, 2007. Foster said he had made lifelong friendships in his time at the University of Kansas. After graduation, Foster hopes to attend medical school to become a team doctor.

For four years, this group of students had to deal with more than just going to class, doing homework and taking tests.
They had to deal with training for and participating in competitions with rival schools in the Big 12 conference and other schools across the country.
This groups of students are KU athletes and for 4 years, they excelled in and out of the classroom.
This year many of the KU athletes traveled and competed in many different yet memorable places. The track and field team competed in New York City during their indoor season. The basketball teams had a lot of success, with the women making it to the WNIT and the men's team winning the national championship, the first in the last 20 years.
Even the KU football team had one of the best seasons to date. Going 11-1 and heading down to Miami, Florida and winning the Orange Bowl was one of the most memorable moments for the team and for KU fans everywhere.
"It was the perfect way to go out on top," said Jeff Foster, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, senior. Foster was a wide receiver for the Orange Bowl champs and said that was one of the most memorable moments during his career.
Foster said there were a lot of memorable experiences off the field, too.
"Whether it was traveling for away games, working out as a team or just goofing around in the locker room, I will remember those things forever," he said.
Foster said that he wouldn't trade anything for those things and that the people he met had made
an impact on his life.
"I have made lifelong friendships with coaches, administration, trainers, academic support and, of course, my fellow student-athletes," he said. After graduation, Foster said, he plans on going to osteopathic medical school to specialize in physical medicine to become a
team doctor.
Although the track and field season doesn't end when school does, Matt Baysinger has already accomplished a lot during his time at the University.
Texas Relays and set the school's indoor record in the distance medley relay his sophomore year.
Baysinger, from Stillwell, is a middle distance runner who during his freshman year won the
But Baysinger said that outside of track, meeting his fiancee, Emily, was his best experience. Baysinger said his time at KU had been a positive one.
"I was not sure if this was the
place for me before I got here," he said. "But now I could not imagine being anywhere else."
After graduation, Baysinger plans on getting married this July and then looking for a job working at an athletics department, he even said maybe at KU's athletics department.
The athletes at KU have big dreams, whether it's going pro in the sport the play now or going into the real world and finding their dream job.
And come May 18, they will start that journey as they graduate from the University of Kansas.

Take some time off before starting a career
Summer music festivals are a way to let loose and relax after a stressful four years (or more) of college. The Wakaraus Music & Camping Festival will be held this year from June 5-8 at Clinton Lake.
BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com
So you've walked under the Campanile, been handed your diploma and are wondering what now? You have your degree and are ready to conquer the world. But before you run off to graduate school or your first career, here are some ideas to consider when trying to decide how to spend your first summer as a KU graduate.
Jon Goering/KANSAN
BACKPACKING ACROSS EUROPE
Let's be honest, everyone talks about buying a plane ticket, packing a bag and heading to Europe on a wing and a prayer. But how many actually go through with their plan? Don't make it wishful thinking; make it a reality. Gather up your close buds, make a tentative plan (as detailed or non-detailed as you wish), and make your way across the pond. Sure, it may be a bit expensive, a bit daring, and maybe even a bit risky, but when will you ever again have the opportunity to have this experience of a lifetime?
Cities to visit include Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin and London (if you don't mind the extra flight or making your way through the infamous Chunnel). Make sure to pack your passport, good walking shoes and maps. This is your chance to put those four semesters of a foreign language to use.
maybe you'd rather head to Chicago to see Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine and in case you missed him in Tennessee, Kanye will be performing his encore in Grant Park next to the beautiful Lake Michigan. You could even keep it local and attend Wakarua here in Lawrence to see The Flaming Lips, Ben Folds and Cake (sorry, no Kanye).
SUMMER MUSIC FESTIVALS
So maybe you aren't enough of a daredevil, don't have the funds or were one the few who took Hostel a bit too seriously to make your way across Europe. That's OK; there are still plenty of things to do here in the States. For this next option, all you'll need is a few hundred dollars, a spare weekend, and a dying love for music. This summer is being predicted to be one of the best for summer music festivals. Make your way to Manchester, Tenn., for Bonnaroo — the closest thing to the original Woodstock you'll find. Artists include Pearl Jam, Metellica and Kanye West at arguably the biggest hippie-fest of the summer. Or
JOIN THE PEACE CORP
Here's your chance to have the experience of a lifetime as well as give back to the world. Although a bit more time consuming than the previous two options, it goes without saying that you are bound to appreciate life so much more and feel great about yourself once you join Peace Corp (or any similar organization for that matter). Make your way to all corners of the earth on your mission of better humanity. Joining the Peace Corp takes commitment, courage and a sound heart. Yet in doing so the experience you'll inevitably gain is priceless. Not to mention you'll have some pretty sweet stories to share with your
family and friends once you return. If youd rather do something a bit more gratifying and productive than traveling across Europe or listening to days of music then joining the Peace Corp may be worth considering. I'm sure it
looks good on resumes as well.
So if you're not ready to jump back into school or go career hunting just yet, consider any of the three options above. It may be cliché to say, but you only live once. You'll have plenty of
time left to spend conquering the world, why not live a little first? Make the most of your time after graduation. Who knows, maybe you'll even learn something about yourself in doing so. Congratulations, seniors.

Sophomore wide receiver could replace Henry
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
Dezmon Briscoe is fast — Kansas' sophomore wide receiver proved as much when he caught 43 passes and seven touchdowns last season.
But Briscoe's speed couldn't make up for his hands' follies during last month's spring game, when he dropped two catchable passes, one of which resulted in an interception. Briscoe's juxtaposition of talent and inconsistency is common among the Jayhawk wide receivers — a group which added a junior college star but lost leading receiver Marcus Henry this offseason.
"As a receiving corps, we left a lot
briscoe said. "This year, I plan on bringing a lot of those balls in and keeping them off the ground. I think that's where my weakness was."
Briscoe seems the heir apparent to Marcus Henry, the Jayhawks' top receiver and sixth round NFL Draft choice. Last year, Henry reeled in 1.084 receiving yards
and 10 touchdown catches, both team highs. Briscoe's lean frame resembles Henry's, and his first-year numbers easily trump Henry's production as a freshman. Briscoe caught a Kansas freshman record seven touchdown passes in 2007, but dropped passes during several games.
Kansas brought in Rod Harris Jr. a sophomore wide receiver from Binn Junior College in Texas to take some pressure off of Briscoe. Harris caught 23 passes last year at Binn, his only season in junior college. At 6-foot-2 and 200
pounds, Harris has the size to line up as an outside receiver, where he played in the spring game.
"I think I can run up to the catch and be a distraction to the secondary to help the other receivers get open," Harris said. "I just need to play my part and fill my role — whatever my role may be — week in and week out."
The Jayhawks' most sure-handed receiver, senior Dexton Fields, should fill his usual role as the starting option in the slot. Fields wasn't a big-play threat last season, averaging just 13.2 yards per catch, but he hauled in a team-high 63 receptions and six touchdowns.
Junior Kerry Meier will assist Fields in the slot, lining up at tight end and wide receiver in the same way he did for much
“This year, I plan on bringing a lot of those balls in and keeping them off the ground."
DEZMON BRISCOE Sophomore wide receiver
of last season. Meier displayed the best hands of any Kansas receiver, snaring 26 receptions for 274 yards in his first year doing double duty as a multi-purpose player. Meier caught four passes for 40 yards in the spring scrimmage.
Many of the same wide receiver reserves will return in 2008. Junior Raimond Pendleton, who caught four passes last year, is the team's main backup in the slot. Sophomore Johnathan Wilson and senior Gary Green could also see playing time. Wilson contributed as a true freshman reserve last season, and Green is learning the receiving ropes after converting from defense to offense in the offseason.

Weather conspires against KU schedule Closer named to college all-star team
BY SHAWN SHROYER
shroyer@kansan.com
Steeeriilike two! For the second straight year, inclement weather has forced Kansas to cancel a midweek game with Oral Roberts..
Late Wednesday morning, Kansas announced that, because of the threat of thunderstorms in Lawrence, it was canceling its game with Oral Roberts, which was supposed to be played at 6 p.m. In 2007, Kansas was supposed to play a home-and-home series with Oral Roberts, but the second leg of that series, scheduled for April 10, was called because of similar weather concerns.
STATE OF MICHIGAN

With the cancellation, Kansas — baring an NCAA Regional appearance — finishes the season 21-9 against non-conference opponents. One of those non-conference victories came against the team that will roll into Lawrence this weekend — No. 15 Missouri.
On April 29, Kansas defeated Missouri at Kauffman Stadium, 3-0, in what was officially a non-conference contest. As jovial as the Jayhawks were after that victory, that game means almost nothing compared to the three games they will play against the Tigers this weekend. What happens this weekend could
Kansas junior left-hander Nick Czyz (2-5) will face Crow Friday, while senior right-hander Andres Esquibel (3-4) will start Saturday and freshman right-hander T.J. Walz (4-0) will start Sunday for the Jayhawks.
end. What happens this weekend could
very well decide Kansas' postseason fate.
Missouri, which had its game last night with Missouri State canceled, as well, will send All-American right-hander Aaron Crow to the mound against Kansas in the series opener, at 6 p.m. Friday. In 11 starts this season, Crow is 10-0 with a 3.08 ERA. Earlier this season, he had a 43-inning scoreless streak.
SMYTH RECEIVES COLLEGE BASEBALL FOUNDATION HONOR
It was also announced Wednesday that Kansas junior closer Pam Smyth was named to the CBF's National All-Star Lineup for his performances last week against Missouri and Oklahoma.
15
Smyth was involved in all four of Kansas' victories last week, earning three saves and a victory. For the week, Smyth pitched 7.1 innings of relief, allowing two runs, eight hits and no walks while striking out six.
Smyth is the second Jayhawk to receive this honor after Walz was named to the CBF's National All-Star Lineup on April 23.

Jayhawks end regular season with first conference title, regional tournament spot Weekend regionals offer a pre-finals breather, world series shot
BY JOE PREINER
jpreiner@kansan.com
Final exams won't be the only weekend focus for the KU club baseball team. The Jayhawks, who clinched their first regular-season conference title in the program's three-year history, advance to the regional tournament this Saturday in Topeka.
The club baseball team dropped only two games all season, ending with a 15-2 record. The dominance the team showed throughout the semester will be
tested this weekend against elite teams like Colorado State, Northern Iowa and Colorado. Kevin Sterk, Oak Lawn, Ill., first-year law student and team captain, said the double-elimination tournament promised to be a battle of attrition.
Should the team win its way through the weekend, it will earn a spot in the Club Baseball World Series. The event is the end-all-be-all for the club sport and will be held later this month in Fort Myers, Fla.
"Now when people schedule us, they know they aren't just playing a scrub team."
The team is not overlooking this weekend or the upcoming week of

finals. Instead of being one more thing to crowd into already busy schedules, team members are looking to the tournament as a way to relax.
"Baseball to us, it gives all us boys some relief"
catcher Mike Irvine, Chicago senior, said. "I don't think it'll be much of a distraction for us. For those two hours a game, we get to really be ourselves."
The possibility of a world series berth is something the team could only dream about in its 2006 inaugural
Irvine said the team would be in the driver's seat on the way to the world series if it was able to win its first two games of the regional tournament.
season. The last two years the team has come up short in the regular season, just missing the regional tournament. Irvine said the first season was all about getting marks in the win column with no real postseason aspirations. This year things are different, as the team's work in past years has paved the way to the regional tournament. Irvine, who has played with the team all three years, said he looked forward to bringing the team full circle.

"This team is finally putting the University of Kansas up in a league with teams like Illinois and Colorado State," Irvine said. "Now when people schedule us, they know they aren't just playing a scrub team. They are playing a team that's established itself as a force in the club baseball association."
Sterk said the team looked to win the regional tournament, with each opponent being beatable. He said the team had a competitive edge on the other teams.
"It's our first regional tournament together as a team, and there's really no pressure on us," Sterk said. "It's just another weekend of baseball for us, and I think that will help."

Dick Vitale gives flowers he received to his wife at the Kansas State game March 1.
Jon Goering/KANSAN
ESPN's Vitale expresses words of encouragement
When I checked my mailbox in the Kansan newsroom last week, I was surprised to see a brown envelope addressed to me with a return address from Lakewood Ranch, Fla. Not having any idea what it was, I quickly opened up the envelope and discovered that I had been sent an assortment of stuff personally by ESPN Analyst Dick Vitale.
One of my favorite announcers in the business, Vitale has always been one of my favorites and his excitement and passion for college basketball. He is one of the few announcers that I will watch a game specifically to hear him announce and not to watch the teams playing. Some people rag on him for always talking about Duke and North Carolina, but when you get down to it, Vitale is one of the few who honestly seems to
appreciate how lucky he is to be broadcasting the great sport of college basketball each night.

Dick Vitale, Hall of Fame 2008"
I asked to interview him for my story on Welmer, and he was unable to because of his recent throat surgery. But I don't think Vitale has any idea who I am. I am just some college student who writes for the school newspaper, but for some reason, Vitale took the time to write to me and tell me that he thought I was a good writer and that he enjoyed my story. He had no reason to take the time and the effort to write some kid he

I am just some college student who writes for the school newspaper, but for some reason, Vitale took the time to write me and tell me he thought I was a good writer.
my article written last week on referee Steve Welmer. I have been told that Vitale regularly reads Kansan.com as well as the student newspapers for several other colleges, so maybe that is how he saw my story or got the address to The Kansan. Vitale autographed a couple of things including the cover of a recent issue of American Airlines Magazine and included a message that I will never forget:
I thought that was the classiest thing Vitale could possibly do, but I realized I was wrong
when I looked at the other things he had sent me. Included with the autographed magazine was a flyer and an article about the third annual Dick Vitale Gala that is being held next Friday in Sarasota, Fla. Included was a handwritten note on his personal stationary that said, "B.J., just a note to show how classy Bill Self is, he will join us to help kids battling cancer on May 16th. Our goal is $1 million for pediatric cancer and the presence of Bill Self will help a great deal. Go Jayhawks, NCAA Champs Baby." As a side note,
that's real nice of Self to travel down there to help.
I thought sending a note to a random college kid was the classiest thing he could have done, but as I read all of the materials he sent me on the gala, I realized I was dead wrong. This man does more for cancer research than anyone I know. He is a big supporter of the V Foundation, a cancer research foundation started by Jim Valvano, and now he is trying to raise $1 million at this gala to help find a cure for cancer. Individual tickets to the event cost $1,000, which will include Self, Bobby Knight, Roy Williams, Tom Izzo, Pat Summit and many other celebrities, and corporate sponsorships cost $25,000.
Vitale is more passionate about finding a cure for cancer than he is about college basketball. He made a personal promise to Valvano before he died that he would do everything he could to find a cure for cancer and Vitale is certainly living up to that promise.
Dick Vitale will always be known for his passion, enthusiasm, his crazy antics and calls while broadcasting games on ESPN, but he should be known for his amazingly sincere efforts to try and help cure that awful disease. He is doing more for that cause than anyone could have ever imagined. I hope his efforts will not be for nothing, and they will soon be able to find a cure for cancer.
So Dick, thanks for not only taking the time to boost the confidence of a young writer, but more importantly, thanks for everything you do to help cure the awful disease that took the life of my young cousin, Anne, years ago.
Borrowing one of your famous lines, "You're Awesome, Baby, with a capital A!"

Schools vote on preseason top 10 Kansan sports editor contributes to UWIRE.com poll
COMMENTARY
Editor's Note: UWire.com recently polled the 119 sports editors at Football Championship Series, formerly known as Division 1-A, schools to compile its Preseason Top 10 Poll. The following is how The University Daily Kansan's Case Keefer voted. To see the finished poll, check UWIRE.com later in the week.
PETER MAYER
BY CASE KEEFER
KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
CKEEFER@KANSAN.COM
1. Georgia: If it weren't for two bogus Tennessee victories to end the regular season, Georgia would have won the SEC East, beaten LSU in the SEC Championship and won the national championship. It's as simple as that. No one was playing as well as the Bulldogs at the end of last season.
2. Oklahoma: In their spring game, the Sooners showed that their only perceived weakness, well, wasn't really a weakness at all. Despite losing four standouts in the defensive backfield, the new Sooner defensive backs scored three touchdowns in the game and showed they're prepared for 2008.
3. Louisiana State: The defending national champions should always be ranked in the top five to start the next season. But this is more than a sympathy vote. The Tigers will reload with more blue-
4. USC: I'm hesitant to even rank the Trojans this high with all that they lost. But their backfield will still be the nation's deepest and most talented. Plus, you can always count on a 10-2 season from Pete Carroll's boys.
chip recruits defensively. And last year's starting quarterback, Matt Flynn, isn't irreplaceable.
5. Ohio State: As a result of the dreadful Big 10, the Buckeyes have a great chance to get pounded in their third straight national championship game. They'll get there behind the likely national defensive player of the year, senior linebacker James Laurinaitis.
7. Missouri: If I would have ranked the Tigers higher than this, I might have feared for my safety in Lawrence. But they might deserve it. Sophomore receiver Jeremy Maclin can do it all and might be the most exciting player in America.
6. Kansas: The Jayhawks deserve some respect. They return 15 starters and add running back Jocques Crawford, last year's JUCO Player of the Year. Not to mention Kansas was the only BCS-conference team with one loss in the nation last season.
8. Clemson: It seems as though Clemson always finds a way to ruin its season late in the year. But it might be hard in 2008. An explosive offense, led by senior quarterback Cullen Harper and senior running back James Davis, will bring the ACC Championship to South Carolina.
9. Florida: Yeah, yeah, junior quarterback Tim Tebow and junior wide receiver Percy Harvin are good players. But they don't play defense, where the Gators need help after surrendering 41 points to Michigan in the Capital One Bowl.
10. Auburn: New offensive coordinator Tony Franklin's spread offense will allow sophomore quarterback Kodi Burns room to operate. Combined with a stout defense, Auburn may be the surprise team in the SEC West.

RACING Driver comes back from career-halting iniury
INDIANAPOLIS — Davey Hamilton has already faced his toughest challenge.
An Indy Racing League mainstay and two-time runner-up during the series' early years, Hamilton was out of the sport almost six years after a devastating crash in 2001 mangled his feet and legs. He underwent 21 operations over the next few years and had to undergo an intense rehabilitation program just to learn to walk on his reconstructed feet.
"Physically, I've been staying in shape. It's something I have to do the rest of my life anyway, to try to stay light and fit just because of my legs," said Hamilton, whose persistence finally brought him back into racing last year and landed him another ride this month with IRL boss Tony George's Vision Racing team.
"After I ran Indianapolis last year, I started back in doing some short-track racing in midgats, sprint cars, super modifieds ... and then I did some tests earlier this year," said Hamilton, who will join Vision's Ed Carpenter and A.J. Foyt IV. "I just hope to be able to stay with those two guys, because they're in a position to
win a race. It'd be great to have three cars in the top five. It's a steep goal, but it's doable with this team."
Hamilton was injured at Texas Motor Speedway in 2001 when another car blew an engine and spun into him. His car slammed into the wall, breaking both of his legs and feet. He wasn't able to stand for five months and was in a wheelchair for almost a year.
The 45-year-old driver got another chance with Vision in a partnership with Kingdom Racing announced Sunday, just two days before the start of practice for the May 25 race.

NATIONAL CHAMPS
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
That's right — national championship. Kansas (37-3) beat Memphis (38-2) 75-68 in overtime on Monday night at the Alamodome, winning its first title since 1988 and third in program history after coming back from a late nine-point deficit.
He moved his hips to "Celebration" and slapped hands all around with his teammates in the confetti-filled jubilation of their national championship.
Chalners' celebratory dance moves seemed so natural, just like the shot he made about 30 minutes earlier that sent the game to overtime. The play started with Sherron Collins. He had 10 seconds to make sure Kansas extended the game and kept its dream season alive. He dribbed to the right wing behind the three-point line and nearly lost the ball.
SAN ANTONIO — Mario Chalmers can dance now, now that his name has been permanently etched into the Kansas basketball history books.
"God, we competed hard," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "It's one thing to win. It's another thing to win the way these guys did."
Junior guard Mario Chalmers shoots a three-pointer that tied the game to send it to overtime. Kansas won the national championship 75-68.
Then, Chalmers separated from his man for just long enough. Collins found him, Trailing 63-60, Chalmers shot a three near the top of the key. Overtime.
The game should've been finished long before that play. The Jayhawks got a gift from the Tigers when they missed five of six free throws that would've iceed the game. They didn't waste the good fortune in overtime. The extra period was all Kansas.
Brandon Rush started out with a layup. Chalmers and Darrell Arthur combined for an alley-oop. When Collins made two free throws to put Kansas up 75-68, the game was finished. Chalmers' shot had sparked all of it.
"I just knew we had the game after

that," Arthur said.
A happy ending seemed implausible late in the second half. Memphis' Derrick Rose nearly killed Kansas. He was ready to put himself at the top of the list of layhawk Final Four villains right up there with Carmelo Anthony, Juan Dixon and Grant Hill. With Memphis down 45-42 midway in the second half, Rose scored 12 straight points for Memphis. He couldn't miss if he tried. Really. Rose fired a long off-balance jumper at the end of the shot clock and banked it in. The basket gave Memphis a 56-49 lead with 4:10 left.
The Tigers stretched that lead to 60-51, and it looked like Memphis would cut down the nets.

In the tournament, Arthur's inconsistency got even worse. The one they call Shady reverted to his mind-bogglingly inconsistent ways throughout the postseason, disappearing in every game.
Kansas has known all season it plays superior ball when Arthur is active. Problem was, that didn't happen too often.

After all the dancing, high-fiving and screaming stopped. Robinson sat in the back of a golf cart with his head in his arms and a net around his neck, thinking about the accomplishment.
"You couldn't really have written it any better," Robinson said. "No way you could've written it better."
It's something he'll never forget, something all the Jayhawks will never forget. They battled through adversity after two losses in three games in late February and didn't lose the rest of the way.

Grudge match
Final Four match against Williams'Tar Heels struck a nerve
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
SAN ANTONIO — For five days the players watched and read all about North Carolina's advantages.
How the Tar Heels could run better than anyone else. How Tyler Hansbrough played harder than any player in history.
Could Kansas handle all that?
"From what I'd seen on ESPN," senior guard Russell Robinson said, "I guess not. They said Tyler would do this, and they would do that."
As it turned out, Carolina didn't do much of anything. Kansas defeated North Carolina 84-66 at their own game April 5 at the Alamodome, running past them at the beginning and end, and upsetting the tournament's No.1 seed.
"We were the underdog the whole game," junior guard Brandon Rush said. "We just came out and
applied pressure to them. We got up and did some big things."
Nothing could go wrong for the Jayhawks.
ANSAN
North Carolina didn't have it
"We definitely played the best basketball we've played in the first half in that 15 minutes."
Kansas
showed
the nation
that North
Carolina
might
not have been the
best running
team and certainly not the best team in the tournament within the first few minutes.
The Jayhawk dancers and fans alike celebrated the Jayhawk's victory over Tar Heels at the Final Four game in San Antonio, Texas. While facing their former coach, Roy Williams, Kansas came out on top, defeating N.C. 84-66.
BRANDON RUSH Kansas Forward
Rush made three-pointers. Cole Aldrich stole a rebound from Hansbrough then later hit a fade away over the Tar Heels' star.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
so easy. Shots missed everything but the backboard on more than one occasion. Loose balls went into the hands of Jayhawks. One player even got called for a lane violation.
When the players looked 645 459 in
at the scoreboard with 6:45 left in the first half, they were on top 40-12. Kansas had made a 25-2 run.
"We definitely played the best basketball we've played in the first half in that first 15 minutes," Rush said.

PAINTERS
The Jayhawks entered the April game against the Tar Heels without a care in the world. Yeah, they wanted to win, but this wasn't like the previous weekend. Back then, they dealt with playing against Davidson, America's sweetheart, and Stephen Curry, the face likely to be seen the most times on "One Shining Moment." They watched the three other No. 1 seeds advance to the Final Four and knew they needed to make it to complete a historical run.
And then there was this thing about Self not making it to the Final Four in his first four previous trips to the Elite Eight.
"People have termed our postseasons as failures," Self said. "They just felt like something was off their back, and they just played free and easy"
They got their lead a little too early though.
"It seemed like the clock was taking forever to tick," Robinson said.
Carolina made its run and trailed by 17 at halftime and by just four midway through the second half. Self thought back to his first NCAA tournament game at Tulsa. His team was up 26 on the College of Charleston, which ended up hitting a three-pointer to take the lead with one minute left.
"I still remember watching the tape later," Self said, "and Al McGuire said it would have been the biggest comeback in NCAA
tournament history."
Tulsa won that game. Self made sure his team wouldn't lose this one.
With the Tar Heels down 64-59 near the six-minute mark, Self called a timeout and told his players to just relax. Collins hit a threepointer on the next possession. Rush took over the rest of the way, scoring eight of his 25 points in the last few minutes.
With Rush leading the way, Kansas closed on a 20-7 run, sealing a spot in the title game. The Jayhawks had been eyeing that night since October. They got their opportunity to make Kansas history.
"It's an unbelievable feeling," Aldrich said.

Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing had six passing touchdowns on Nov. 3, 2007, against Nebraska. The Jayhawks won, 76-39, setting a record for the most ever scored in a conference game.
Kansas continues undefeated streak
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
The Nebraska Cornhuskers visited the Kansas Jayhawks on Nov. 3, and the game was an absolute blowout. There's nothing unusual about that statement.
What was strange about the game was that the Jayhawks were the ones doing the dominating.
For the better part of the last half-century, Nebraska football pushed Kansas around, winning 37 of the teams' last 38 matchups. On Nov. 3, the Jayhawks played the role of bully, turning the tables and routing the Cornhuskers, 76-39.
With the victory, Kansas secured its first ever 5-0 start in conference and first 9-0 start since 1908. The Jayhawks' 76 points set a school record for the most ever scored in a conference game and easily surpassed the team's previous high of 40 points against Nebraska. In fact, Kansas passed that mark by halftime, scoring 48 points before the end of the second quarter.
"Nebraska has a good tradition and they always play hard," senior wide receiver Marcus Henry said. "So to look up and see that score on the scoreboard was pretty amazing."
The Jayhawk offense looked impressive for all 60 minutes of the game, but the defense suffered through several rough patches near the start of the game. Nebraska, which had relied on its strong run game all season, threw Kansas a changeup by going to the air early and often. In the first half alone, Nebraska junior quarterback Joe Ganz threw for 266 yards and two touchdowns, leading two solid scoring drives in the first 12 minutes of play.
"They threw the ball a lot," Kansas coach Mark Mangino
said. "We did not anticipate them throwing the ball as much as they did because they had not done that all year. We were caught a little bit off-guard."
From that point on, Kansas patched up its imperfections and performed like the undefeated powerhouse it has all season.
Nebraska entered the game in a tailspin and left Lawrence in no better shape. The Cornhuskers extended their losing streak to five games and fell into a tie for last place in the Big 12 North Division standings. To add insult to injury, Kansas' 76-point outburst marked the most points Nebraska has ever allowed in a single game.
Despite Nebraska's status as one of the most disappointing teams in the nation, Kansas' decisive victory was impressive because the team did exactly what it needed to do: stay undefeated while making a positive impression on pollsters and media around the nation.
A decade ago, Nebraska was the team scoring more than 50 points routinely and rolling to 9-0 starts. In 2007, Kansas is the powerhouse.

Jayhawks take Orange Bowl title Victory against Virginia Tech tops off near-perfect football season
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
The Hokies took possession at their own 18-yard line but quickly moved the ball downfield with help from a 15-yard pass interference penalty on Kansas freshman cornerback Chris Harris and an improbable diving catch by sophomore tight end Greg Boone. The Hokies advanced to the Jayhawk 8-yard line before opting to attempt a 25-yard field goal attempt on fourth-and-two.
The blocked field goal may have been the biggest play in a game full of momentum swings, big hits and closely contested short-yardage struggles. With six minutes and 31 seconds to play in the third quarter, Virginia Tech was picking up steam. An 84-yard punt return touchdown by senior wide receiver Justin Harper with 11:35 remaining in the third pulled the Hokies within three points, 17-14, and the pro-Virginia Tech fans at Dolphin Stadium were at full volume.
MIAMI - Kansas didn't do anything out of the ordinary to defeat Virginia Tech and capture the 2008 FedEx Orange Bowl title. Well, at least nothing more unexpected than the 12-1 team had done already this season.
The team that turned analysts' predictions and preconceptions on their heads all season continued to upset college football's natural order Jan. 3 in a way that has become strangely normal for the winningest team in the history of Kansas football.
Over the course of the season, the Jayhawks emerged from a decade-long stint of mediocris to win 12 games and a BCS bowl. On Jan. 3 in Dolphin Stadium, the Jayhawks defeated Virginia Tech, 24-21, by beating the Hokies at their own game: special teams. The Jayhawks (12-1) overcame several exceptional kick and punt returns by Virginia Tech (11-3) with a timely blocked field goal and an expertly executed fake punt.
"We were able to make a big, big play on that punt and turn the game around with the blocked field goal," Kansas junior wide receiver Dexton Fields said. "When we blocked the field goal it was really a big momentum-stopper and it gave us some extra confidence. If they would have been able to tie the game it would have let them pick up a lot of momentum."

The ball had barely left senior kicker Jud Dunlevy's foot when Kansas senior linebacker Joe Mortensen burst through the offensive line and blocked the ball with his chest.
Kansas spent much of the 2007 season breaking school records and setting new and lofty standards for a program that had spent much of the last century mired in mediocrit. It spent Jan. 3 putting the finishing touches on a season that was one victory short of perfection, but close enough to be considered a triumph.
"Our kids were determined to play well," Mangino said. "A lot of folks counted us out on this one, and we heard that for about a
"Usually when we line up I usually come out in zone and drop back," Mortensen said. "But this time we went for an all-out block; coach (Bill) Young did a good job and there was good penetration by the d-line. I just let my shoulders slip through and pretty much came untouched and blocked it. It was great."
The Jayhawks needed nearly all of their 24 points to hang on and defeat a Virginia Tech team that fought until the clock filled with zeros. The Hokies scored on a 15-play, 78-yard drive with 2.51 remaining to cut the Jayhawks' lead to three, but McAnderson rumbled his way to the first down marker several times on Kansas' next drive to run out the clock and seal the victory.
Just five minutes later, Kansas outsmarted Virginia Tech on special teams once again. Faced with fourth-and-10 at its own 49-yard line, Kansas lined up in punt formation. But instead of snapping the ball to senior punter Kyle Tucker, sophomore long snapper Kayl Anderson shot a quick snap left to senior running back Brandon McAnderson, who was lined up as Tucker's "personal protector".

Smooth torch trip through China hints at future of games
BY CARA ANNA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HAIKOU, China — Paramilitary police donned Hawaiian shirts and pink buses shuttled in more cops in camouflage. Security was heavy but officers were markedly relaxed as jubilant crowds, apparently free of protesters, helped kick off the Olympic torch's tour of China.
"Of course I'm happy, but I can't talk to you," one officer said with a smile as the torch was carried through the tropical port city of Haikou on Tuesday. Up to a million people squeezed along the route. "Go China!" they screamed as the flame bobbed by.
Wednesday was apparently another trouble-free day before cheering crowds as the torch made
a 10-hour tour through the southern city of Guangzhou, also known as Canton, in China's prosperous manufacturing center.
So far, the Olympic torch seems to be having a smooth relay in China, uninterrupted by the protests over Tibet and human rights that followed parts of its international tour.
Relieved corporate sponsors like Samsung and Coca-Cola, whose logos were seldom seen along the torch relay outside China, now are splashing their names everywhere.
How China handles the torch, and the crowds, is a hint of how it will manage the Beijing Olympics. While most of the more than 100 stops across China should go smoothly, legs through Tibet and the largely Muslim province of Xinjiang
areas with recent protests against Chinese rule or policies could test security and crowd control.
If a protest were to happen during the flame's three-month journey to Beijing in August, it might be impossible to tell. Foreign media are not allowed in the convoy that follows the torch, which is restricted to state media. When the torch went out at the start of its Sunday run in the seaside city of Sanya, the live national broadcast cut away as guards rekindled the flame.
Police and paramilitary forces by the dozens jogged on either side of the torch. Others were posted every few feet along the route. The rest waited in reserve, along with a bomb disposal truck and armored vans lined with tiny windows and gun portals.
A crowd hurries into position during the Olympic torch relay Tuesday in Hailou, China.

editors' note
TOMMY LEE AND JASMINE LEVY
of Jayplay this last semester.
Dani: Someone once said: "To love what you do and feel that it matters—how could anything be more fun?"
That's how I feel about being the editor
I never dreamed that I would get to do what I love for a living—and by do what I love, I mean bitch at writers, Google random sex facts and talk about said random sex facts for hours with my lovely associate editor, Megan.
It really has been one hell of a trip.
Megan: I remember reading Jayplay for the first time in fall 2004. I was an aimless freshman who knew only that she loved words, grammar and writing, but had no idea how to parlay those interests
into a career. I had an 8 a.m. biology lab in Haworth on Thursdays, and I opened up The Kansan before my first lab to find a little treasure known as Joyplay. I never would've dreamed then that I'd have the chance to both write and edit for Joyplay, that my future career would be in magazines, or that I'd meet someone as obsessed with Jesse Lacey, the color green or Empire Records as I am. And I'm referring to you with that last part, Dani.
Dani: You are, indeed, a sweetheart. Make sure to read Elise's story on page 18 about how she turned her passion for music into a profession. I'm going to miss Joylaop, but I can't imagine anyone better to pass the torch on to than Megan. Good luck!
Megan: Aw, spanks, Dani!

The story and significance behind some of KU's most famous figures
By Rebekah Scaperlanda
rscaperlanda@kansan.com
When one of my friends came to visit, I gave her a tour of our campus. Of course, my tour consisted of facts about myself rather than facts about the University."Oh, that's where I have my English class," should have been replaced with,"Oh, that building is named after Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe."As we passed "the study abroad building," as I referred to it—as opposed to Lippincott Hall—she asked me about the statue in front "Who the crap knows?" I replied. "Let's take a picture acting like we're them!"
As much fun as I have with photo ops, I think it's time for students like me to stop walking past such campus landmarks without a clue about their significance.
about statues if I wasn't an ambassador."
"I think most students see the statues, but never think about why they are there," says Mario Rodriguez, Stilwell sophomore and KU student ambassador. "It's just something they see every day. They pass by and don't give a second thought. I would probably have no idea
Allen Fieldhouse Forrest Clare "Phog" Allen If you're attending this University and you've never heard of Phog Allen, you
need to stop reading this magazine and dig yourself out of the hole you've been living in. Not only is the bronze statue of the legendary men's basketball coach hard to miss at 9 feet tall, but it stands in front of Allen Fieldhouse, home to our 2008 National Champions.The Fieldhouse, named for Allen himself, was named while Allen was still coaching at KU. He began his legendary stay at the University in 1904 as a basketball player under the coaching of James Naismith, the inventor of basketball. Allen, known as the "Father of Basketball Coaching," coached basketball for 49 seasons. He retired from
The image shows two statues facing each other in front of a building with columns and a triangular pediment. The statues appear to be carved from stone and are depicting two men engaged in what seems to be a conversation or gesture of agreement. The building behind them has a classical architectural style, featuring tall columns and a wide entrance. The overall color scheme of the image is monochromatic, with black and white tones.
the statue of Professor James Woods Green and student Alfred C. Alford outside Lippincott Hall was sculpted by Daniel Chester French, who also sculpted the Abraham Lincoln statue inside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Above right: The Tal Chi Figure outside Green Hall was donated by former Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe and his wife in 1987.
coaching with a 771-233 record, the best record in coaching history at the time.
Although his coaching career is vast, the history of the statue is not. The statue, built by Overland Park resident Kwan Wu—who also created the George Brett statue at Kauffman Stadium—was dedicated on December 13, 1997. This dedication took place on the 100-year anniversary of KU basketball and the 90th anniversary of the first game coached by Phog Allen. According to the University Archives, the total cost of the statue was $140,000. When renovations were done on Allen Fieldhouse in 2005, 6- and 12-inch granite pavers inscribed with donors' messages were placed around the statue. The 3,600 pavers are shaped in the form of a basketball going through a hoop.
Lippincott Hall James Woods Green and student
What may look like "a statue of two random people walking to class," Sonia Pantoja, Mission junior and KU student ambassador, knows is actually Professor "Uncle Jimmy" Green, the first dean of the School of Law, with student Alfred C. Alford. According to KU Info, Alford was the first KU student to be killed in the Spanish-American War.
"The statue was nicknamed the 'peacemaker statue,' because Green is with an engineering student," Pantoja says. "Law and engineering feuded and raided each other's buildings back in the day."
French, sculptor of Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.The memorial statue was funded by the 1919 Million Dollar Drive,a fundraising campaign to gain funds for the construction of a World War I memorial honoring the KU students who died in the war.The drive also funded the construction of Memorial Stadium and the Kansas Union.
Smith Hall Moses
Green served as dean of the School of Law for 41 years. The statue in his honor was sculpted by Daniel Chester
It is only fitting that the statue of Moses kneeling in front of a stained-glass burning bush stands in front of the religious studies building. But Moses should hold significance to more than just those students who have read his story in the Bible.
While Moses may date back to 1405 B.C., for the University, Moses and the burning bush trace their history back to R.W. Oliver, KU's first Chancellor. Chancellor Oliver, who was an ordained Episcopal minister, chose Moses to appear on the University seal in 1866.
Why would a public university have a religious figure on its campus? Fire symbolizes knowledge in many stories. A kneeling Moses is thought to represent the humble attitude of the scholar who recognizes the unquenchable nature of the pursuit of truth and knowledge.
"The statue symbolizes the teacher passing on its knowledge and wisdom to the student," Pantoia says.
Eldon Teft, former KU professor; created the metal filigree sculpture during a period of 10 years.
Green Hall Tai Chi Figure
You may be wondering why Green Hall, home to the School of Law, has a seemingly unidentifiable statue in front of it while a statue of the first dean of the school—and the person for whom the building is named—stands in front of Lippincott Hall.The answer lies in KU history.
As the KU Web site explains, the building we know today as Lippincott Hall opened in 1905 as Green Hall, the then Law School. In 1979, the Law School moved to its new location, and the name Green Hall moved with it. The statue cannot be moved, however, because Lippincott Hall is now a historic landmark
In 1987, former Chancellor Wescoe and his wife donated some flare to the new Green Hall.The Tai Chi Figure is a large sculpture by Zhu Ming. an awardwinning Taiwanese sculptor.The statue signifies strength and balance.
The awkward nature of the Tai Chi Figure has led to some interesting nicknames for the statue. "It is sometimes called the 'Surfin' judge' or the 'Stoned Faced Sumo,'" Pantoja says.
"I think it's important for students to know about the statues on campus," says Cindy Heliman, KU Info representative. "They're a part of our school's history. It's nice to have background information on things you see day to day."
Now you are fully prepared to answer questions about campus statues when your friends come to visit. Just be careful walking backward when you're giving your very own campus tours.

A road map to music utopia
By Ben Garmisal
I have a dark little secret to share with you. For all the irreverent and elitist banter I spout in this column each week—not to mention the myriad sarcastic comments made at the expense of pop-punk/emo bands—I actually like that genre of music. I really do—though it's a bit of a love-hate relationship at times. I almost have to like it; I, along with a lot of you, grew up with pop-punk—and I think we can all look back at our youth soundtrack of Eve 6 and the Offspring fondly. That's because people tend to like what they grew up with. It's the reason my dad loves Springsteen, it's the reason my mom loves Carly Simon, and it's the reason my grandparents love whatever it is they love. In my suburban-Chicago hometown, the music scene during my junior high and high school years consisted of bands like 7th Grade Underdog, Sad Panda and Fall Out Boy playing venues like the Fireside Bowl, my high school's gym and "that kid's basement."
For this reason, and despite the fact that my musical taste has both matured and diversified through the years, I'm going to end my career at The Kansan writing about the same band. I started my career three years ago with Panic! at the Disco—though they have now changed their name to "Panic at the Disco." Notice the lack of exclamation mark, or don't, because it really doesn't matter at all.
PANIC AT THE DISCO Pretty. Odd.
"Oh, how it's been so long. We're so sorry we've been gone. We were busy writing songs for—YOU!"
And my, how we've been waiting. Panic at the Disco's sophomore album was originally due in
THE

the fall of 2007, but after completing roughly 75 percent of the recording, the band decided they weren't happy with the direction and scrapped everything in favor of starting over. Pretty, Odd, is the result of that decision, and though I have no way of judging how the scrapped album would have sounded, I certainly can say that the band's decision resulted in something special.
Panic's first album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, is a bit hard to describe, which is surprising considering how one-dimensional it was. The album sounded, for the most part, like what you'd expect from a band signed by the driving force behind Fall Out Boy; pop-emo. What made that album different from the rest (at the time) was its electronica undertones and some weird vocal effects. Though catchy as hell, the album was more or less the product of some over-marketed 17-year-olds, and it sounded like it.
Pretty. Odd., however, is immeasurably more mature than the debut album. I hesitate to say that it's wholly unique, as the album has a definite Beatles vibe to it, but it certainly transcends the band's previous stylistic boundaries and proves they are no one-hit wonder.
In terms of lyrics, the album seems to be a bit of surrealist fairy-tale. Unlike their debut, the songs on Panic's sophomore effort are not hodgepodges of unfortunate events involving family members and ex-girlfriends. This time around, we hear the story of a little green alien, a very handsome woman and a prompt arrival at a place where it's 9 in the afternoon. Though this might seem pretty odd (See what I did there!) to anyone who hasn't seen the band perform, they are accompanied onstage by a cadre of circus performers, a fact that puts the music into perspective.
The album really excels on the musical side. In "Pas De Cheval," a Souza-esque march leads into a horn-and-a capella-based bridge, which itself leads into an impressive guitar solo. Then, in "Folkin' Around," a bluegrass violin and banjo serve as the soundtrack to a nostalgic love ballad. Not exactly what we've come to expect from this band, to be sure. As mentioned above, the album definitely reminds the listener of the Beatles, but only because it's so diametrically different from what the last album would lead us to expect. Though I'd never deign to equate Panic at the Disco with the Beatles—they're not even playing the same game—Panic has shown that they don't need the synthesized beats and electric piano to write catchy songs. They are more than capable of extracting the maximum musical potential from a minimal number of instruments. While their debut album was rotated out of my playlist shortly after its release, I don't anticipate the same thing happening with Pretty, Odd. There's just too much here to like.
And finally, because evoking memories of the Beatles with the music wasn't quite enough for the group, the music video for "Nine in the Afternoon" looks like a surrealist interpretation of the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band—as though the actual Sgt. Pepper's cover wasn't surreal enough to begin with.
That's all she (well, he, I guess) wrote. Thanks to everyone for reading this semester. Best of luck in the future!

Q&A
with Jessica Alba and Mike Mvers
[Image of a woman with long hair and a man with long hair and a beard, both wearing floral garlands, posing confidently with their hands on their hips.]
In The Love Guru, which hits theaters June 20, Mike Myers plays Pitka, a relationship guru who returns to the States in pursuit of a career. The owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs, played by Jessica Alba, asks for Pitka's help to mend the heart of Darren Roanoke, a star hockey player whose wife has left him for a rival athlete. Repairing Roanoke's spirit may be the only way the Leafs can win the Stanley Cup. Alba and Myers chatted with Jayplay during a roundtable interview with other student news publications.
Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba and Mike Myers in The Love Guru.
You've been in a lot of action-based movies, but lately you've been doing comedies. Is that the direction you see your career going?
Yes. I started acting because I wanted to make people laugh.I used to make up characters and do voices and basically anything to make my family and friends laugh.
Were you a hockey fan before making this film?
I didn't know much. I had to take a crash course in hockey. I'm a sports fan, and I can wrap my head around it once I've watched a few games. I didn't know how smelly those guys are—they're so stinky.
Working with Mike Myers, how did you keep your composure while filming?
I didn't. None of us on set really did. I would lose it and laugh my ass off.
Who would be a better love guru in real life: You or Mike Myers?
Mike does a pretty good job at it. He's hilarious, sweet and kind. Not that I'm not, but it's hard to put yourself in that position.
After starring in this movie, what advice do you have on matters of love?
You definitely need to be on the path of loving yourself before you are capable of sharing your life or your heart with anyone else. I think a lot of people look for love to validate themselves, but you have to love yourself first before you're even ready for that kind of thing.
.
Mike Myers
You co-wrote The Love Guru. Was it your childhood dream to watch the Leafs at least compete for the cup?
Sure. I love hockey like religion. I love the Toronto Maple Leafs. I bleed blue. When it looks like we have a chance to win, part of me doesn't even want to get involved anymore because the heartbreak is too much. I thought, if I don't see it in my lifetime, I could at least write it in that way of Field of Dreams: If you write it, they will come.
What is your writing process like?
I always have about eight ideas circling the airport and every three and a half years one of those ideas land. With Austin Powers, I was driving home from hockey practice and I heard the song"The Look of Love" by Burt Bacharach. I wondered whatever happened to swipers. My films are handmade, and whatever is on my mind becomes the next thing I work on.
What gave you the idea for the character of Pitka?
After my father died, I went on a spiritual quest and started to become interested in Eastern philosophy. There are some tremendous people out there like, Deepak Chopra and Gary Zukav. It's a very interesting world, because these people have no sense of humor. What I love about Deepak and Gary is that they understood that to be enlightened is to, in fact, lighten up.
Be happy.That's it. We're only on this earth for seconds and we might as well spend the time being happy.I heard an interesting story about George Harrison.After the freaky dude who broke into his house and stabbed him in the head, he was on death's door.And he had not one regret. He was completely prepared for death, because he had spent 15 years of his life in touch with love.
What advice can you give students on love and relationships?

With just the first sip, you can taste the rich, savory spices. Keep drinking, and pearls of tapioca hit your mouth. It's not just tea; it's bubble tea. And you can get a cup from the House of Cha, 21 W, Ninth St. Not interested in chewy balls of tapioca in your beverage? Opt for another tea flavor, because the place has plenty to choose from.

Portable music players are everywhere these days. Coupled with the ease of obtaining music online, it's easy to carry your favorite songs with you wherever you go. FlyTunes looks to extend that musical freedom by offering a satellite radio-like experience for your iPod. Unlike that $200+ iPod, FlyTunes requires no money down, no payments and, well, no money at all.
FlyTunes is a Web-based service that is accessible to owners of an iPhone or an iPod Touch. It only requires a valid e-mail address for access. Then all that's left to do is open the FlyTunes browser using your iPhone or iPod Touch's WiFi connection.
Roy Smith, vice president of marketing for FlyTunes, says the service offers almost 500 channels right now with WiFi, with many of the channels accessible on the iPhone's EDGE network, as well.
Smith says FlyTunes is also developing a downloadable program that records Internet radio streams to import onto other portable music devices such as the iPod Classic and Nano, though no release date has been set.

How to green your move
As the last week of this semester begins and the student population of Lawrence moves into new apartments and houses, let's do something besides get "wasted." That's trashy.
In this last week, let's focus on cutting back our waste.
Moving out is one of the most trash-intensive events of the year, as demonstrated by the industrial-size dumpsters that the university sets in front of the dorms. But the majority of the "trash" that fills these containers isn't trash at all; It could have been recycled, donated to charity or used by other students.
One man's recyclables are often another man's living room furniture.
Step 1: Find unwanted items.
Are those sheets, bedspread and your kitchen utensils from the dining hall not going to cut it next year? Gather everything you don't want or can't use next year,and assess its worth to determine its final destination. Here's a handy guide:
Your stuff rules: Sell it on eBay.
ebY
Your stuff is pretty CR damn good to moderately good: Sell it on Craigslist or have a garage sale.
craigslist
Your stuff is useable: Donate it to Goodwill, 2200 W.31st St., or give it to your friends or neighbors.
goodwill
Your stuff is pretty much done for: Recycle it.
Your stuff is moldy, broken beyond repair (and you've tried), or for some other reason is no longer fit for human interaction: This category should be a last resort.
Even the most unlikely items can be donated or sold. The Lawrence Community Shelter, 214 W.10th St., accepts food donations, which can be dropped off at the shelter. Don't forget about resale shops, where you can sell back clothing, furniture or electronics.
Step 2: Green pack
Pack your remaining items with packing materials that you already have, such as towels, plastic containers and old newspapers. Call the produce departments at local grocery stores and ask them to set aside large, sturdy boxes for you. Most will be happy to do this if you pick up the boxes in a few hours.
Step 3: The trip
The fewer trips you make, the more gasoline you'll save. Depending on the amount of large furniture you have, it may be most cost-effective (and environmentally friendly) to hire a moving service so everything can be moved in one trip.
Step 4: Home, new home
You're almost done, so keep up the green mantra.
Save old boxes or newspapers to reuse for your next move, or recycle them.
Step 5: Think long-term
If you pack up your life once a year, you have a unique opportunity to step back and look at all the things you own. If packing up is something you dread, simply keep less stuff around.
When buying furniture or anything new for your place, check out resale shops first. These items are usually cheaper than buying new and have more personality than expensive, cookie-cutter new furniture. Plus, if you plan on getting new furniture after college, it would the most economical to spend less on furniture now.
Steer clear of the build-your-own-desk-in-52-easy-steps pieces of furniture that are usually found in big-box stores like Target or Wal-Mart. Even though this furniture is usually cheaper, it is hard to move to a new house and will typically get trashed after a year. It's also not as sturdy or durable as its pre-built counterparts.

feature The Rule
You and your friends are out for a night of Stop Day partying. Across the room you spot a hot guy or girl. Your eyes meet. Your heart starts to beat a little faster. A sense of euphoria comes over you, though you haven't even spoken to the person. You happen to run into each other. The attraction and giddiness continue as you talk. You exchange numbers.
Other than finding someone you are attracted to, what has really happened there?
Actually, a lot. Chemicals are released in your brain, your emotions automatically ascend to sheer happiness, your palms sweat, you smile, and you feel a little aroused. You may not even know some of this happened, because attraction is a lot more complex than you might realize.
What causes attraction
Humans have a primal need to seek a partner and mate. We are continuously scanning for a potential husband or wife (yes, even at age 20), and though you may think you're just doing it because you want to get laid, this is nature telling us we must have offspring and secure a place in society for our species. Physical attributes are often the first thing people notice.
"Men generally are attracted by the face, hair, outfit, legs, bust or hips says Jesse Johnson. And count marriages usually grooming.

Topeka junior; to his girlfriend, Kelsey Cline, Lawrence junior. Cline admits she was also attracted to Henry's physical appearance, but she says his humor is what really got her attention.
Good communication and showing interest are the next two attributes that add to an attraction. Jesse Johnson says. Melva Johnson, relationship coach and counselor and Jesse's wife, says that if you show an interest in a person, that will elicit a positive response from both of you.
Think about the last time you spoke with a stranger. Did he or she ask you questions about yourself? And not those typical, "What do you do?","Where are you from?" kind of questions, but the "What are your dreams"?,"What do you want out of life?" kind of questions. Show some genuine interest, and you'll likely receive a positive response. That doesn't mean you'll be together forever, but it's a step in the right direction. Once you are able to communicate and open up to the person, a more committed relationship can evolve, Melva says.
Attraction actually takes place on two different levels—a conscious level and an unconscious level. According to Jesse and Mela Johnson, 90 percent of attraction is unconscious.The conscious part is how you react to someone's overall appearance and demeanor.The unconscious part encompasses your past relationships and your life history."For example,
people who tend to be too emotionally attach to someone else who attached." Jesse says. "Alcoholism in your family to someone with subs How does this happen?

Meeting someone who can satisfy your needs is another source of this unconscious attraction. John Gray, author of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus and Mars and Venus on a Date, says those needs

can be very simple or be deeply rooted.
A mate can also meet your needs by providing healing. Gray says we tend to duplicate relationships or situations from the past. For example, if a woman grew up with an absentee father, she will tend to be attracted to married or unavailable men. This is when being able to identify these unconscious attractions is important. Being attracted to unavailable men is not going to help you get the healing you need, but recognizing that you seek someone who can be there for you and therefore provide healing or resolve your past issues is the main part.
"As a woman, you may see a man carrying a large load and become attracted to him because he has bigger muscles and is stronger. He will be able to help carry or move things, therefore meeting a need for you," Gray says.
Brandon Hinson says he can't really explain why he is so into his girlfriend of 13 months, Kelly Kerr, Leawood senior:"I just know that if you put her in a lineup of 100 girls, she'd still stand out because she is on her own level."
In Mars and Venus on a Date. Gray addresses men's goal to make women happy and women's goal to be happy. If a man receives a positive reaction from a woman, then he believes he can make her happy.
A woman will get excited about this same situation, because she anticipates that the man really can make her happy. Both instances show how, through unconscious attraction, men and women can fulfill each other's needs.
Gray also identifies growth and learning as a factor of unconscious attraction. We seek out someone who is not exactly like us. We want to learn new things, and those people who have different experiences can teach us about them. Opposites really do attract. Beth Rogers, Overland Park sophomore, and her boyfriend, Andre Fyler, Liberal junior, are a perfect example."He gets along with just about everyone he meets, and he's really outgoing, which I'm not," Rogers says. "I really feel like he balances me out."
Reactions in the mind and body
Physical reactions take place while these unconscious factors are at work.Attraction releases chemicals in the brain.This causes the presence of endorphins, which create a high."This reaction is why you can stay up all night talking to someone you've become attracted to, get up and go to class the next day and still feel great," Jesse Johnson says. This is why everyone seems to love beginning a new relationship, as the level of euphoria is one that you don't usually feel at any other time in a relationship.Melva Johnson says this is why many people will bounce from one relationship to another within short periods of time.
Some reactions are specific to men and women, though. For women, the sequence of reactions begins with intrigue or interest, which promotes positive feelings and curiosity, which then leads to conversation, Gray says. Next comes emotional

attraction, where women open up and become more deeply involved. Sexual attraction comes last. Gray notes that if a woman feels sexual attraction first, she probably has underlying issues and may be trying to duplicate a past relationship.
Men have this same series of attractions, but in the reverse order."A man will know within the first minute if there is a sexual connection," Gray says. It is not until the sexual attraction is confirmed that they will engage themselves further and let their mind and emotions become involved.
Some sexual arousal may also occur within that first minute, but not in the sense that we usually think of. Testosterone rules in men, and when they become attracted to someone, they experience a surge of testosterone. This can happen a couple hundred times a day, according to Gray. So, in other words, men are constantly aroused. Women may see this as odd or gross, but the reality is that men probably don't even notice because they are so used to being attracted to someone or something that they don't really notice the surge of testosterone. Sexual arousal is in the background for men, but if a sexual overtone were to occur for a woman, it would definitely be in the foreground, Gray says.
The long-term attraction
Many of the things you liked or saw from the first time you met someone are still things that attract you to that person, but there are more emotions and characteristics involved in long-term attraction. You know the person better, and what is keeping you with him or her is not just the person's looks or your unconscious attractions.
"He's dead sexy, he's incredibly smart—way smarter than I am—he's hilarious, and he's absolutely incredible in the sheets," Abby Woody, Hutchinson junior, says of her boyfriend, Alex Noury. Woody says she was first attracted to Noury because he smelled amazing and was witty.
Tyler Miller; Springfield, Mo., junior, has been dating Juliana Schafer, Olathe junior, for about a year and half, and says his attraction has definitely become more deeply rooted over time. "It's funny, but with time you begin to appreciate a person's quirks
S
much more than their perfections,” Miller says. “This is not to say they are any less attractive, just in a different way.” He still enjoys the fact that Schafer laughs at his jokes, though, which was one of the initial attraction factors.
Some people are looking to find their soul mate through initial attraction. Gray defines a soul mate as the person you desire to spend the rest of your life with. All three types of attraction—cognitive, emotional and sexual—must be present in order to have these feelings. He also says he doesn’t believe the age-old theory that there is one person out there for everyone.
“You don’t necessarily have only one soul mate, because you can have compatibility on a soul level with several different people. It is the other factors that decide if this is going to be someone you actually spend your life with.” By those other factors, Gray is referring to where each person is in his or her life, the values each of you have and where you are located.
The list of things that keeps Reagan Kemper, 2007 graduate, attracted to her husband is a long one. Many of them demonstrate how initial attraction turns into fulfilling each other’s needs.
After six and half years together—they are now married—Kemper still loves her husband, Jeremiah’s, blue eyes and curly hair. But he also contributes to making her feel whole. “I love knowing that we are in this life together and that no matter what ups and downs we have, he will be there for me,” she says.
No matter what you are looking for or how the attraction starts, we all seem to be looking for that one special someone. Of course, that could be the romantic, girly side of me talking. Good luck to everyone out there.

DIY: build a fire pit
Bill Dalton, KU alum, built this fire pit out of landscaping blocks.
Summer's not here just yet, but the aromas of backyard cooking are already filling the evening air.
Charcoal and gas grills are a great way to cook outside, but for a more primal backyard cooking experience, nothing beats an open fire. But not too open. The City of Lawrence allows fire pits, but they have to be enclosed—you can't just build a campfire in your backyard—and you should check with your landlord before buying or constructing one.
You can buy an above-ground fire pit for about $100, but for half as much, you can build your own using bricks or concrete landscaping blocks and a little sweat.
Step 1: Decide where you want to build your pit. Choose a flat area of your lawn. Make sure it's at least 10 feet away from any structures, bushes and trees, and beware of overhead branches.
Step 2: Choose the dimensions. When figuring out the size of your fire pit, consider the intended usage. Will you be grilling on top of it? If so, construct your fire pit so a cooking grate rests securely on top of the top of the pit. You can pick up metal cooking grates at hardware or lawn and garden stores for less than $10. They come in many shapes and sizes. It's best to choose a cooking grate before building your fire pit. This way, you can decide on the dimensions based on the grill top, rather than searching for one that fits.
Now it's time to start building. Construct the exterior by stacking bricks or cement landscaping blocks. To ensure that the fire is safely contained, make sure your blocks fit snugly and that the walls are at least 30 inches tall. Finally, line the interior with gravel or sand to prevent fire spreading beyond the pit.

that's disgusting HOW TO KEEP YOUR FEET SMELLING FRESH
When I started high school, the cool kids wore brown dress shoes with no socks in the summer. I followed suit, trying to fit in. The result was shoes that smelled so bad my mom made me move to a room farther away from the rest of the family. It was the only way they could avoid the stench coming from my closet. Clearly, the style change hadn't made me as popular as I had hoped.
As summer rolls around, the heat gets turned up in our shoes. Our feet sweat more and our shoes can begin to smell. David Laha, a podiatrist with Kansas City Foot Specialists in Overland Park, says combating the summertime stink is as simple as washing and rotating.
"The No. I thing is to wash your feet every day." Laha says.
Laha suggests doing more than just standing in the shower while water hits your feet. Soaking feet and thoroughly washing the bottoms and between toes with soap can clear the bacteria that causes feet to smell. Laha also says that rotating pairs of shoes can limit the stink that builds up. Rotating shoes and letting one pair dry for a day will help keep bacteria from

festering in the damp environment. Wearing socks helps, too. The sock acts as a barrier between your feet and the inside of the鞋 where bacteria can live longer.
Laha says smelly feet and athlete's foot are two different problems. Athlete's foot is caused by a fungus that some people are more susceptible to than others.The fungus is everywhere, and if you are prone to getting athlete's foot, you will likely feel its effects if you come in contact with it.Wearing sandals can help ward off athlete's foot as fungi like dark, damp places, Laha says.Just as with keeping your feet from smelling, keeping your shoes dry and the foot aned out can help combat athlete's foot, as well.
My smelly feet problems eventually ended—along with my exile from my family—when I finally learned to wear socks and wash my feet more often. Doing the same in the summer heat will keep your shoes fresh and your roommates happy.

What's hiding in your cabinets?
Facts about expired medicine
ing in
ets?
By Kaitlyn Syring
ksyring@kansan.com
What would you find if you went through your medicine cabinet today? If it's been awhile since you last cleaned out your cabinets,you might find some artifacts, so to speak.Many people keep prescriptions and over-the-counter medication past their expiration dates.Such expired medications lose effectiveness and, in some cases, can become harmful All types of medicine should be both stored and disposed of in ways that may be very different from what you might think.
Does expired medicine still work? Most medicines lose some of their potency after they expire. Larry Davidow, clinical assistant professor and director of the integrated laboratory in the School of Pharmacy,says the expiration date is generally accepted to mean that after this date there can be less than 90 percent of the stated potency.Therefore,after the expiration date,the manufacturer no longer guarantees its product to contain the labeled strength or to have its beneficial effects.
Davidow says that some current controversy about the use of expired drugs regards whether those most commonly used are still beneficial even after a 10 percent loss of potency.A test conducted by the U.S.Food and Drug Administration in the 1980s concluded that 90 percent of the drugs it tested were safe and effective up to 15 years past their expiration dates. But, Davidow says, all medicines are different. What is considered effective for one drug might not be for another.Because the medicine is no longer guaranteed to work after it expires, Davidow says people should stick to using their medication within the time frame given by the manufacturer.
However, many pharmacies do not put dates on prescription medicines, says Jeff Sigler, pharmacist at Sigler's Pharmacy, 4525 W. Sixth St. He says that Sigler's will usually tell people that the expiration is one year; but the actual expiration depends on when the pharmacy bought the drug and how often that drug is used. If a drug is used frequently, Sigler says, it will be replenished more often and will tend to be more fresh than a drug that is used less often. However, if a prescription is known to have an expiration date of less than one year, Sigler says the pharmacy will mark it on the bottle so the customer is aware. Sigler says most oral prescription medicines will become less effective as time goes on, depending on the kind of medication and where it is stored.
Both Sigler and Davidow say that prescription and nonprescription medications, like Tylenol, should never be stored in bathrooms or kitchens. Many people store their medicines above the kitchen or bathroom sink, but in these places, heat and humidity from the shower and sink are easily trapped inside cabinets and cause the medicine to degrade much faster. Sigler says medicine should be stored in a cool, dark place, like a hall closet. This way, your medicine will be away from heat and humid air, and will be out of the reach of children and pets. Sigler says it's a bad idea to keep medication out on counters or in your car, where it will be exposed to all the elements in the air.
"If you keep a bottle of Aspirin in your glove box in the middle of July, it might be useless within a week," Sigler says.
When it comes to storing medicine, Charlie House, Garnett senior, says there's only one place he turns to. "It's called a medicine cabinet, and it's in my bathroom." House says he has always assumed that was the proper place. He doesn't really know what's in that cabinet right now, he says, but he is guessing some Adil and a prescription pain medicine from when he was in a car accident a few years ago.
"I'm sure some of it is expired," he says, "But I never really pay attention to that."
On the other hand, Meagan Wright, St. Louis junior, is very conscious of expiration dates and storage of her medicine. She says she keeps all her nonprescription and prescription medicine, when she has some, in her bedroom closet. She looks at the expiration dates nearly every month to make sure all her medicine is current.
"I just don't take chances," she says. "It freaks me out to think that past a certain point, those pills might not work or might work in a different way."
I expired medicine harmful?
Some medicine should never be used after it expires, Davidow says. The reasons for this are two-fold, he says. Some—tetracycline, liquid medications and oil capsules—can degrade into harmful byproducts or become contaminated by bacteria.
Some others, more commonly, are so important that it is critical for the consumer to know that the drug will work at all times, like nitrogycerin for heart attacks, insulin for diabetes and birth control tablets.
Is expired medicine harmful?
If a medicine has become contaminated, you might
be able to tell based on the color, smell, texture and shape of the dosage, Davidow says. Some examples Davidow gives of these changes are a strong vinegar-like smell from aspirin, tablets that crumble or look abnormal in color; capsules that are sticking together, liquids that separate or become cloudy and ointments that harden or separate. If you take a dose that you think might have been contaminated, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist. If a prescription or nonprescription medication has not been contaminated, Davidow says, it is unlikely that taking it after expiration will cause you any harm. You primarily need to be concerned about the decreased strength of expired medicine.
Antibiotics, says Sigler, are a different story. Sigler says that, if taken correctly, you will not have pills left from a prescription antibiotic. If you do, that means you did not finish your round of medication, and the infection could still be in your body, he says. It also means that you will not have enough pills left to treat a repeat infection. Such an approach to taking antibiotics could allow your body to build an immunity for certain medications, thus rendering them completely ineffective.
Davidow says that it's good practice to check dates and purge medicine cabinets at least once every six months.
Sigler has several suggestions for disposing of your expired medicines. Do not flush them down
the toilet, he says. Doing so can cause medication to get into the water supply and make people hypersensitive to bacteria or cause bacteria in the water to become resistant to treatment. He says the best way to get rid of medicine is to throw the bottle and the pills away separately to prevent people from gaining access to medication in your trash. When throwing away the pills, you should put them directly into your trash can and mix in some kitty litter or coffee grounds, he says. Such substances will speed up the decomposition process, while also deterring people from taking the pills. If someone were to find the pills, they would have so little potency at that time that it would not matter if the person took them, Sigler says.
So this weekend, it might be time to take a look in your medicine cabinet. Keep a few things in mind while doing it: Any prescriptions that have expired or that you have had for more than one year will most likely be less effective. If you find medicine that looks contaminated—has a strange odor or texture—it's time for that medicine to go. Throw all pills away with a dash of kitty litter, and throw bottles away separately. At the end of your cleaning, make sure all your medicine is stored in a cool, dry place like a hall closet. Do not store medicine in the bathroom or kitchen. These tips will ensure that you get the most out of your medication.

TURN PLASTIC BOTTLES INTO HANGING GARDENS
We've shown you how to reuse empty 2-liter bottles to make a bird feeder, but odds are you don't want to make a birdfeeder out of every bottle of pop you consume, unless you really like birds. So, here's a way to make a hanging garden using 2-liter bottles.
Tomato plants don't have to be planted in the ground.They don't even have to be planted right side up. Planting tomato plants upside down has many benefits:You can move the plants with the sun, save time weeding, and it allows you to have a garden even if you don't have a lawn. You can also plant cucumbers, peppers and green beans upside down.
What you need:
160
- One empty 2-liter bottle
- Knife
- Scissors
- String
- Potting soil
- Tomato seeding
- 3 coffee filters
Hanging gardens are both economical and aesthetically pleasing.
- I page of newsprint
Start by cutting the bottom off your 2-liter bottle. Next, use a knife to cut three equidistant holes about an inch from the bottom of the bottle. Thread string through the holes to create the hanger.
Now unpot your tomato seedling.Shake the soil loose from the roots.To get all of the soil off the roots,run water over them.
Here's the tricky part. The roots have to go through the mouth of the bottle. To ensure you get the roots through the mouth of the bottle
intact, wrap the roots in newsprint and gently pull the newsprint through.
Once the roots have been pulled into the bottle, remove the newsprint and stuff several coffee filters around the mouth of the bottle to hold the plant in place.The filters will keep soil from draining out the bottom, too.The last step is to add potting soil.I found it easier to hang the plant before adding the soil.
That's all there is to it—hang your garden from your deck or balcony, add water and sunlight. You'll soon be enjoying the fruits of your labor.

The Office. It's my favorite show, and I relate it to the Student Senate office a lot. Although, I hope the parallels between Michael and myself aren't too strong.
Rescue Me on FX.
WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP?
A weatherman, because I was always fascinated by storms.
A basketball player. I watched a lot of basketball as a kid, and they seem like the most fun guys to hang out with.
WHAT CHANGE DO YOU MOST WANT TO SEE MADE AT KU?
I hope many of our platform issues, which related mostly to parking, safety and campus convenience issues.
The comics in the newspaper, because they're horrible. It's like they're not even trying anymore.
WHAT MOTTO DO YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE BY?
"Time's fun when you're having flies."
"Don't sweat the small stuff."

PLEASE DON'T STOP THE MUSIC What started as a coping strategy became a career path.
PSR-77
Above: Elise receiving her first keyboard for Christmas, which she still has. Right: Elise getting her first stereo system of her own. She wore it out in about three years and had to upgrade to a system like most people have in their entertainment room.
I still remember getting my first CD. I was in kindergarten and fresh off the yellow school bus when I walked into my kitchen and sitting on our round, wooden table was The Little Mernaid: Splash Hits in all of its Disney cartoon glory. I immediately grabbed the CD, ripped the packaging open (no easy task today, much less with 5-year-old fingers) and forced my mom to set up the stereo. It was the best present of my young life, one that I cherished and, much to my family's dismay, played constantly throughout the next few years, singing along, karaoke-style, at the top of my little lungs.
While my love of music, specifically Disney musicals, was a fun and probably slightly annoying habit in my early years, it became a mode of survival the summer after third grade. My family moved to Omaha from Olathe.The transition wasn't pleasant, and by summer I was friendless. But two discoveries made it not only bearable, but actually pretty fun. The first was the public library's The Baby-sitter's Club section. The second was Top 40 radio. When it came to my friend problems, I took on The Fresh Prince's philosophy and assumed that "Parents just don't understand." As a result, I locked myself in my horrifically green-and-pink-flower-themed room with my most prized possession, my mini-stereo, listening to the sweet sounds of FM radio station Sweet 98 and reading.
I learned a lot that summer. I learned how to baby-sit, I learned that locking your room doesn't mean your little brothers won't find their way in. I learned that radio DJs get annoyed when little girls call repeatedly to request a song that isn't on their playlist. I learned how to use music as a way to escape. In the confines of my room, Gwen Stefani told me what it was like to be "Just A Girl." I wanted to have "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with Deep Blue Something and I questioned who would save my soul right along with Jewel. I wasn't sure what champagne was (I was a sheltered child), but I wanted to experience its supernova the same way Oasis did. Music became my perfect escape, and the artists blaring through my speakers, as well as the five members of the Baby-sitter's Club, became my substitute friends.
By high school five years later, I had real friends. I made several of them, in fact, because—lucky for me—our huge choirs allowed me to use music to my advantage. Instead of using music as a way to pretend I had friends, I was able to use music to make more real ones. As Madonna says, "Music makes the people come together." No matter how busy life got—and between musical, theater
100
and show choir rehearsals, it got pretty busy—I never lost my love for radio, which is why, my junior year of high school, I began internting at the very station I once speed-dialed daily. The life of a radio intern isn't exactly glamorous. I wasn't partying with Linkin Park, or even blink-182, for
By Elise Stawarz
that matter. I spent most of my time cutting apart station posters, going to promotional events at movie theaters and sports bars and, once, judging a kissing contest at the local mall. I had a blast. While the DJs were certainly a far cry even from Good
Charlotte, they were rock stars in my eyes, and I got a kick out of getting to meet and spend time with Pat and JT, the morning show hosts, and the rest of the crew.
By the time I got to college, radio was officially my thing, but I didn't know the University of Kansas had a radio station until Hawk Week. I still remember going to the Union and meeting Nick Ray, the promotions director at the time, a slightly
flamboyant man with a sunny disposition and cool demeanor, a purveyor of all things hip. He was loud and proud of his station and immediately shoved an avalanche of red and black stickers and pins in my hand, along with a sign-up sheet to join the station's staff. Before long, I was one of his minions.
approaching people at football games, attending local concerts (for free!) to sit at the promo table, and helping plan stunts that would grab students' attention (Remember the massive tractor outside the Union for Farmer's Ball?). Nick took me under his wing—or maybe it was his turntable—and once he moved on, I took over his position, and am now the Live Events director for KJHK, and next year I'll take over as station manager.
Music started out as a love for me. It became a necessity and then turned into a career path, which is really what these years are all about. You should find something you love and figure out a way to get paid to do it. It turns out I have no desire to baby-sit, or do anything else with kids. But radio is right up my alley, and I'll be happy whether it's working promotions for Z100, the biggest radio station in the country, or acting as faculty adviser for a station like KJHK. I guess, in that sense, college has done exactly what it was supposed to do for me. I've found my purpose. And in the words of Rihanna, "Please don't stop the music."

editor's note
This time of year is always bittersweet. On one end, the semester's end is on the horizon but first we all have to survive finals. Most people can't help but cringe when thinking of this week.
I remember my first semester in Lawrence I was introduced to finals week and I considered it great. Yes, great. I had two exams on Monday for my Mathematics 101 and Journalism 101 class and then spent Monday night watching "The Bourne Supremacy" as my roommate and fellow floor residents frantically studied for their Tuesday exams.
While my first semester was great, I can't say the same about other semesters. Almost every semester after I've had at least three exams and

one of them was on a Friday. I spent my weeknights cramming and guzzling energy drinks until I could recite just about everything I had written in my notes.
Finals week can bring on stress, but try to relax. Don't be afraid to take a few hour breaks during your studying time and enjoy life.After all, life is too short in the long run to be starring at test books for seven days straight. Good luck with exams!

The image shows a classroom with several students seated at tables, each surrounded by papers and books. The environment appears to be focused on learning, with no visible movement or activity except for some students writing or reading.
Students gather at various locations on campus to study for final exams. Watson and Anschutz libraries have many areas for students to study in quiet places or with groups of classmates.

Students practice different study techniques
BY MICHAEL HOLTZ editor@kansan.com
The end is in sight. Summer is almost upon us - another year under our belt (as well as an Orange Bowl win and a National Championship). The only thing left between now and summer is that one week of hell; that one unavoidable week waiting for us at the end of every semester. That's right, finals week.
A week filled with animosity followed by a sense of relief, said John Intfen, Olathe sophomore. During a week that is notorious for causing stress amongst many burned out, sleep deprived, and restless students, Intfen tries to remain as relaxed as possible
throughout the week.
"As long as the finals aren't all on one day it will be pretty easy going," Intfen said. "Otherwise it becomes a long night of studying and a long day of test taking."
He's not alone. David Neidinger, St. Joseph's, Mo., freshman, agrees that stress during finals week can be avoided. For Neidinger, stress is most easily avoided by being well-prepared.
"I usually just try to study as much as I can, so I don't freak out before the test," Neidinger said. "I try to take it easy. I get a pretty good jump start on studying to minimize stress."
Neidinger said that he typically begins studying up to a week before a final exam.
He began studying Monday for several finals he has early next week - namely Calculus II, which he said will be his hardest exam.
Not everyone relies on studying a week ahead in order to have a stress free week. Ask Katie Meserko, Overland Park freshman. She said that she doesn't plan to start studying on Stop Day.
"It's not too far away, but it's not cramming," Meserko said. "I'm usually not stressed because I usually have a pretty good idea of what my grade is going to be."
Intfen pushes his studying back even further. He said that he typically starts studying the day before a morning final and the night before an afternoon final. He also said that he makes sure to get plenty of sleep and tries
to "take it easy".
"If [that] means partying, hanging out with friends, watching movies, or any combination of the two it's good to just take it easy," Intfen said.
Intfen also has a specific method he uses when it comes time to study. He said that he starts off by reading the chapters a second time while taking more hand written notes. He then proceeds to review his lecture notes and homework assignment.
Meserko and Neidinger have quite different methods they apply to minimize stress and maximize success. Meserko relies on flash cards whereas Neidinger, majoring in mechanical engineer, focuses on practice problems.
Top 10 tips for finals week
BY DIANNE SMITH dsmith@kansan.com
1. Get eight hours of sleep each night. Being sleep-deprived is similar to being drunk, and can you imagine taking a final after drinking? Naps are a good thing.
3. Leave your worries behind. Finals are the most important thing in your life right now; everything else can wait, including that pesky boyfriend or any other drama in your life.
2. Eat healthy. Eating healthy is crucial to keeping your body in tip-top shape for finals. Coffee and chocolate will not help you. Try some broccoli.
4. Know what works for you, and do it. If you know you study well in the library, go to the library. If it works better for you to lock yourself in your bedroom, then do it. If you are a morning person, then do your studying in the morning. If you're a night person, then study at night, but don't stay up too late.
5. Prioritize your studying. You don't have to study for all of your finals in one day, and your time will be better spent if you study for each test in the order that you have to take them. When one final is over, forget about it and move on to the next.
6. Don't go overboard. Remember that finals are not the end of the world and that they won't kill you. You will survive this.
Trust me.
7. Make time for study breaks. It's good for your mental health, and it will help you relieve stress. Call a friend, go work out or get something to eat.
8. Don't cram. Plan chunks of time each day to study. You'll remember the material better, plus you'll be more relaxed.
9. Be prepared. If you need a blue book, make sure to bring one. Or bring two just in case. Bring two pencils or two pens, depending on your preference and the type of test. Bring an extra eraser.
---
10. Wait to party until after you finish everything.It's time to concentrate on school,plus you'll have more fun celebrating if you're actually finished.

How to stay healthy during finals week
BY ALEXANDRA GARRY editor@kansan.com
It's that time of year again. The weather is nicer, the parties are hotter and the temptation to break free from the tedium of nine months of school is exponentially greater.
But it's not time to relax — yet. It's time for many students' most dreaded college ritual finals week.
According to the National Institutes of Health, stress can take a physical and mental toll, leaving the body more susceptible to infection and can also negatively affect academic performance.
Finals week can be an incredibly stressful time, but some experts say that stress can be reduced by taking the time to take care of yourself.
TOP FINALS STRESS BUSTING TIPS
1. Get enough sleep. If you're having trouble sleeping because of anxiety, Student Health Services offers some tips and safe help.
2. Organize yourself.Having a prioritized list of tasks and organized notes can keep your
thoughts clear and anxiety at bay.
3. Exercise. This doesn't have to mean spending a long time at the gym - just taking the stairs can be enough to get your body working. But if there is a physical activity that you really enjoy, engaging in it can be even better for stress reduction.
4. Eat well. Taking the time to eat healthy can also ward off feeling bad physically, which can just add to stress.
5. Talk to someone if you need help. Try complaining about an exam with others who are taking it - you may find you just need to vent. If you are feeling very stressed out, consider visiting Counseling and Psychological Services. They're there to help.
6. Schedule something fun to take a break and relieve stress. Not overdoing it with alcohol or food is the key.
7. Work hard to get everything required done, but accept that there's only so much you can do.
