Music, camping festival heats up Clinton Lake
BY REBEKAH SCAPERLANDA
rscaperlanda@kansan.com
An estimated crowd of about 20,000 people will attend the Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival this weekend at Clinton State Park.
Since the festival's start in 2004, the number of bands has almost doubled and expected attendance has almost tripled. The larger events means more diverse music choices
and many other nonmusical activities.
The audience can enjoy an array of music from Emmylou Harris' country twang
festival to bring music lovers four days of paradise.
"I have been to every Wakarusa since they started," Trey Hornbeck, Leawood senior, said. "Music all day and all night for four days and all of your friends to be with, I wouldn't miss it for anything."
Disc golf, hiking, yoga and swimming in Clinton Lake are alternative activities.

DON'T FORGET SUPPLIES
The summer heat Clinton lake location demands that people be prepared for the outside festival conditions. According to Wakarusa.com, the Wakarusa Camping day pack check list includes: a water bottle, toilet paper, bandana, insect repellant, sunglasses, rainwear, binoculars, camera, film, fishing gear, sunscreen, lunch/snack, lunch cook set and a field survival kit. The festival also asks people to come prepared with a personal first aid kit. Students staying on the campgrounds can bring their own tent or rent a tent and sleeping
bag from the Student Recreation and Fitness Center.
"A lot of students check out equipment for Wakarusa," said Mike Dickey, assistant director of outdoor pursuits. "They check out pretty much all of our tents. It is one of our busier times to check out equipment."
PICKING THE MUSIC
There are 122 bands at this year's Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival, so picking which bands to watch can be a tough process. The headliners take up a lot of the buzz in advertising, but a lesser-known could end up being a new favorite.

Road construction projects on campus have left several streets closed and limited access to parking. Students should familiarize themselves with the bus schedule to avoid frustration.
Road construction restricts campus
BY DEEPA SAMPAT dsampat@kansan.com
Drivers will have limited access through campus this summer because of construction projects on Jayhawk Boulevard and Mississippi Street. The street closings will also alter bus routes through campus.
The $8.8 million project will take place over a three-year period, with the majority of the construction occurring this summer.
Jim Modig, director of design and construction management, said the construction repaired steam tunnels around campus, which posed a threat to workers. He said the department completed a structural analysis of the steam tunnels a few years ago.
"It identified a number of tunnels that were in structural failing condition," Modig said. "We were putting our workers in very poor working conditions."
Modig said the repairs would make the tunnels meet safety codes and last for the next century.
Margaretta de Vries, senior administrative associate for KU Parking and Transit, said the construction closed Jayhawk Boulevard between Mississippi Street and Lilac Lane. She said Mississippi Street was also closed from Memorial Drive to Jayhawk Boulevard. de Vries said the only parking area that was closed was the north end of Memorial Drive and the area on Jayhawk Boulevard inside the construction zone.
"Everything else just has more limited access," de Vries said.
She said Parking and Transit
removed parking from one side of Memorial Drive for the summer to give buses better visibility on the road.
Because of the limited parking, de Vries said parking in the Mississippi Street garage was free to people with staff permits, but because student parking spaces would not be affected by the construction, yellow or Park and Ride permits would not be valid in the garage.
de Vries said the construction on campus roads along with construction of the Oread Inn and at 19th and Louisiana streets would limit and alter campus and city bus routes.
Derek Meier, Independence sophomore and transportation coordinator, said that because summer classes were in session, students should familiarize themselves with the bus route changes to avoid frustration.
"Students have to be aware that if they are leaving the Kansan Union on a bus they have to board by the Spencer Museum instead top of the Union," Meier said. "I think initially that will cause confusion."
Modigsaid that Jayhawk Boulevard would reopen by the beginning of the fall semester and that additional construction would take place by Lippincott Hall and Dyche Hall. He said work inside the steam tunnels would be ongoing but ready by the October heating season.
Meier said that the new bus routes shouldn't cause any delays and should take an equal amount of time to get through campus as current routes do.

KU ON WHEELS
Bus routes change for summer
BY SACHIKO MIYAKAWA smiyakawa@kansan.com
The KU on Wheels routes and schedules changed Tuesday because of fewer summer passengers and more construction zones around campus.
The two bus routes that will still be in service connect campus with downtown and some of the major apartment complexes, including High Pointe, Meadowbrook and Campus Court at Naismith.
Danny Kaiser, assistant director of KU Parking and Transit, said construction zones and street closures caused some detours and limits for the bus service. In one example, passengers have to stop at Bailey Hall to get to the Kansas Union because buses cannot get across Jayhawk Boulevard. Kaiser also said the construction near 19th and Louisiana streets blocked the bus route from serving the area this summer.
"In the summertime, our ridership has always been pretty low anyway," Kaiser said. "There are not a lot of students who absolutely rely on the bus in the summer time."
The Oread Inn construction project will affect some of the fall bus routes that use Oread Avenue. Those routes will have to detour down Louisiana Street and return to campus via Mississippi Street.
Alternatives for students who don't have an access to the KU buses in their neighborhood because of reduced summer routes include driving or using the city bus system.
Derek Meier, Independence sophomore and transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said besides purchasing parking permits, students could park at the residence hall lots that were

summer routes create inconvenience to some students who rely on the KU bus service.
Kayla Fox, Lawrence sophomore, who lives near the corner of 23rd and Louisiana streets, said she rode a bike or walked to get to campus. She said she did not own a car and used a KU bus only when it rained or she had an early morning class.
The KU transit system will return to the regular bus routes and schedules in the fall, but passengers should expect a few modifications of the service.
"It takes about 30 minutes to walk to campus," Fox said. "If it rains, I'll try to get a ride from my friends in the summer."
Two major adjustments will be the elimination of the Night Campus Express and the merger of the Naismith and Oliver route and 23rd and Louisiana route.
Kaiser said the Night Campus Express was not a good use of funds because it didn't have many passengers and the Park and Ride buses and campus circulators operate during the evening.
He said the merger of the two routes should add buses to other routes.

One bus will be added to the Sixth and Crestline route and two will serve the Park and Ride buses during busy times. Meier said those adjustments should increase efficiency and service availability of the KU buses.
KU on Wheels will introduce the fare-free bus system in the fall, which allows anyone on campus to take a KU bus without paying. Passengers off campus will be able to board the bus by showing their KUIDs.
Kaiser said he expected the number of passengers to increase because of the new system.

Faculty gets upclose,personal with Kansas

H
Sampson has worked at the University of Kansas for six years as a coordinator for the University's Audio-Reader program. But on May 21, Sampson stood in a sunny field in Scott county and watched a curious buffalo protect her calf.
"They looked at us pretty suspiciously," Sampson said.
Howd' Sampson find herself just feet from a herd of more than a hundred buffalo? Sampson was a first-time participant in the University's annual Wheat State Whirlwind tour, a five-day tour through the state of Kansas. From May 19 to May 23, more than 40 KU faculty members participated in this year's tour. In it's 11th year, the tour was designed to give faculty members an up close look at some overlooked parts of Kansas.
Craig Freeman, associate scientist with the Kansas Biological Survey, left, and Paul Selden, distinguished professor of geology, look out at the horizon on the ranch of Scott and Carol Ritchie in Lyon County. The tour lasted 5 days.

It only took a few moments for Debra Hedden, an associate professor in music education and music therapy, to confirm that the Buffalo were, indeed, the
best part.
Hedden has been at the University for five
years, but she had never been a traveler on the tour before.
"It was a fabulous trip," Hedden said.
Hedden said the trip was culminated with a visit to the Highland Ranch in the middle of the Flint
Hills.
"It's one of the most idyllic spots I've ever been," Hedden said.
Sampson said the tour also helped her become acquainted with her KU colleagues.
"It's amazing to hear what these
people do on a regular basis," Sampson said.
Sampson said she'll remember the kindness of the people she met along the way and, of course - the buffalo.
"You only see stuff like that in westerns," Sampson said.

SCIENCE
Summer program provides research oppotunities
BY BRIEUN SCOTT
bscott@kansan.com
The University of Kansas department of chemistry selected 10 participants from different schools across the country for its summer research program. For the past 20 years, the program has allowed students research experience and encouraged students to seek an advanced degree in chemistry.
The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) is a 10-week program, targeting sophomores and juniors from smaller institutions with no advance degree in chemistry. The program is paid for by the
National Science Foundation (NSF).
Mikhail Barybin, program coordinator, said REU gave undergraduates their first real-life research experience. Barybin was an undergrad at the University of Minnesota when he participated in a REU program.
REU also offers professional development seminars. Selected students can partake in two seminars; one that introduces students to a career in chemistry and the other that helps them to develop professional skills. Speakers were invited to the program to talk with students and share information about an advanced degree in chemistry.
Barybin said although the program was not primarily a recruiting tool for the University, a number of past participants went to graduate school or became mentors.

"This program sets you up nicely for what it's like to be in a lab" Weaver said.
Barybin said very few students went through the program and realized that they didn't want to pursue a career in chemical science.
Weaver said he thought the program achieved its goal by giving experience to students from smaller universities where there was not a lot of research opportunities. He said REU helped him confirm his decision to pursue a career in chemistry.
"If it wasn't for the program, I would've been hesitant to go into that field," Weaver said.
Students were matched with faculty advisors and graduate and post graduate mentors for guidance during the program. Barybin said participants worked on individual research projects, which were presented at the end of the program at
the national and regional convention.
Glass said REU was a good tool of recruitment and encouraged students to pursue an advanced degree in chemistry. She said the program encouraged her decision. Glass said she hoped students were excited about chemistry and continued to learn about science.
Weaver said during his program, his adviser was attentive and involved with him. He said that the University was where students could come and get the attention of a faculty mentor.
"I had an amazing mentor. I still go to him," Glass said.
His past experience helped him to mentor his student participants. Weaver said he could relate to the undergraduates in the program.
"I've asked the question they ask," he said. "So when they come to me, I can give the logical approach to answering the question."
Amanda Glass, Emporia graduate student, said her mentor was
also attentive. Glass participated in REU in 2005 as an undergraduate at Emporia State.
"Where science can be frustrating, there are fewer things that could be more rewarding." Glass said.

Man indicted for child porn
22-year-old Lawrence man faces possession, purchase charges
BY CHRISTINE D'AMICO
cdamico@kansan.com
A 22-year-old Lawrence man was indicted on federal charges of allegedly purchasing child pornography.
On May 22, Channing Burgess was indicted for two reported purchases of child pornography on Dec. 18, 2006 and Aug. 17, 2007.
The Lawrence man is one of four caught in the federal government's recent child pornography raid. Also included in the charges are a 44-year-old Leavenworth man, a 36-year-old Atchison man and a 29-year-old Gardner man.
According to U.S. District
According to the indictment, he allegedly paid $79.99 twice, once in December 2006 and once in August 2007, for his membership to the site.
The Lawrence man is facing charges of purchase and possession of child pornography. If convicted, he could face at least 5 years and not more than 20 years in prison and a fine up to $250,000 for the purchase charge and another 10 years $250,000 for the possession charge.

BY BRYAN CISLER bcisler@kansan.com
Rachel Trader's friends couldn't believe it when she tried out for a roller derby league in Kansas City, Mo. At the time, Trader was a 19-year-old biology major working for Sprint — hardly the image of a typical roller derby girl.
"When I tell people I do roller derby they say 'I don't see you as that type of girl,' but really there is no 'that type of girl.' We have people of all kinds doing this," Trader said.
Once a month at Hale Arena in Kansas City, Mo., 80 girls lace-up
their skates and compete for the Kansas City Roller Warriors, an all-female roller derby league. Each player has a skater name, and Trader unleashes her alter ego, Archie Lee, in the rink. A member of the Dreadnought Dorothys, skating

in front of thousands of people gives Trader an opportunity to show fans an aggressive side to her personality.
It is not only skaters who get into the action, but fans as well.
The league was started four years ago when the girls would practice in parking lots filled with broken glass and debris. Word spread about the women, and the league quickly drew fans. An average crowd at Hale Arena ranges from 1,000 to 3,000
"You really are a different type of person, and that is the joy of having a different kind of name," Trader said. "It is a different feeling to have an outlet to blow off that steam because a lot of us don't have a way outside roller derby to get rid of that stress."
Roller derby fans are also passionate about the league.
Mary Burleson drove from Arkansas to cheer on "The Knockouts" in last Saturday's event. Burleson, who sported a white wig and a long blue dress, serves as the team's unofficial mascot, and has been a fan of the league since it began.
"You have girls beating up on each

other," Burleson said, "There is no greater entertainment if you ask me."
Currently, the league is trying to showcase its athletic side, and shed unwanted stereotypes from its past. In the 1970's bouts were scripted,
putting roller derby in a category with pro wrestling, rather than an actual sport.
"I played soccer for eight years and that was nothing compared to
Tonya Hagedorn, Lawrence resident and police call dispatcher, is constantly asked whether the sport is real.
"We don't work this hard in practice to not try our hardest to win," said Hagedorn, who made the team despite breaking her arm in tryouts.
The girls practice three times a week, and injuries range from torn ligaments to concussions.

this in terms of how physical this is." Durham said. "You have to be a serious athlete to play roller derby, you can't just do this for fun."
Brooke Leavitt, one of the founders of the Kansas City Roller Warriors, has seen girls try out and quit after realizing how tough it is. Leavitt, who skates with only one arm after a bus accident left her handicapped at the age of three, thinks the league finally has the right mix of girls.
"Knowing that there is 80 girls that come back week after week and give it their all is what is so special about this league," Leavitt said.

"The pride festival is just a time to let things go and come together," Kuttler said. "It's about being proud of who you are, not necessarily because you are gay, but just because you are proud of who you are as a person."
Not all of the KU students who attended the festival were gay, though. Gabrielle McBride, a Leawood junior, has come the last three years in a row to support her gay friends.
"When I come to the festival, it is like I feel what [my gay friends] feel all the time," McBride said. "Here, I have a hard time picking out the straight people and for them that is every day because they have a hard time picking out the gay people."
For Austin Young, Tonganoxie junior, and his boyfriend of one year, Tyler Long, a junior at Ottawa University, this was their
first time at the festival.
"It is my first time to be around a lot of gay people and just celebrate my sexuality," Young said. "It gives you a real sense of community."
Billy Griffin, Leawood junior, likes the festival because of the relaxed atmosphere and remembers his first time, three years ago, as being slightly scary.
With free admission, many families come to enjoy the festivities during the day at the park, while an older crowd enjoyed the music and dancing at night.
"I didn't know what to expect," Griffin said. "Everything was so new. I had just come out, but now I'm in my element here. I'm not the odd person out."
"It's not as scandalous as people might think," McBride said. "It's not like people are making out everywhere. It's just about pride and friends."

Obama clinches Democratic nomination after primaries
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois sealed the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, a historic step toward his once-improbable goal of becoming the nation's first black president. A defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton maneuvered for the vice presidential spot on his fall ticket.
Obama's victory set up a five-month campaign with Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, a race between a 46-year-old opponent of the Iraq War and a 71-year-old former Vietnam prisoner of war and staunch supporter of the current U.S. military mission.
Obama, a first-term Illinois senator who was virtually unknown on the national stage four years ago, defeated Clinton, the former first lady and one-time campaign front-runner, in a 17-month marathon for the Democratic nomination.
Car bomb kills eight outside Danish embassy
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) An apparent car bomb exploded outside the Danish embassy in Pakistan's capital on Monday, killing at least eight people and wounding dozens more, officials and witnesses said.
The blast echoed through Islamabad and left a crater more than three feet deep in the road in front of the embassy. Shattered glass, fallen masonry and dozens of wrecked vehicles littered the area. A plume of smoke rose above the scene as people, some bloodied, ran back and forth in a state of panic.
Amir Ali, deputy commissioner of Islamabad, said four people were killed and six were wounded, although witnesses said many more were injured by flying debris. There was no immediate information on the identities of the casualties.
Myanmar reopens schools one month after cyclone
YAW PAR GYI, Myanmar (AP) — One month after a cyclone left more than 130,000 people dead or missing, Myanmar's military government reopened many of the country's schools Monday despite worries that the extent of damage could put children in harm's way.
And although the military rulers pledge a speedy rehabilitation, demand and prices have soared for the material needed to rebuild homes. Many survivors say they have been forced to pick through the storm's rubble in search of anything left intact.

KU's'Nooks & Crannies Korean War Memorial
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
The names are in alphabetical order. William B. Askren...John Ast..Bayard Atwood.
Forty-four names in all. They're a reminder of the Kansas students who lost their lives in a war that began 58 years ago this month. The University's Korean War Memorial sits on the hill above Potter Lake. The Memorial turned three-years-old in April.
It's easy to miss the memorial, or at least miss its significance. A single
sculpture of twisted metal — John Havener's "Korean Cranes Rising" — sits in the middle of a brick circle, while the plaque with the names is a few feet away.
The plaque reads:
This memorial commemorates the contest that began on June 25, 1950, when North Korean military forces crossed the 38th parallel and launched a massive invasion of South Korea...
A few shriveled up flowers lay beneath the sculpture, and the list of the names keeps on going. Carl F Barlow...

Cable provider gets upgrade
BY KRISTIN HOPPA
khoppa@kansan.com
Lawrence residents with Sunflower Broadband began seeing changes to their favorite TV channels early Monday.
Sunflower Broadband made its digital transition complete, now providing 247 channels of digital, premium and high-definition quality to customers. However, not all transitions have been smooth.
"We have been absolutely trying everything to work with our apartments over the past few months to accommodate the transition," said Patrick Knorr, Sunflower Broadband general manager. "We are a bit stuck right now. Not everyone is happy with the options."
Residents must have either a digital TV or digital cable transition box in order to view the new digital cable channels and may need to upgrade cable services from limited basic cable to expanded basic cable.
Apartment complexes around Lawrence that provide tenants with cable specials have been working with Sunflower Broadband to continue to provide cable service to residents in light of the transition.
Cable subscribers who do not have digital capabilities will still be able to view 37 channels that Sunflower provides in analog format. However, some channels residents previously had may no longer be available.
While Knorr estimates only about 10 percent of their customers are
unsatisfied with the new options, local apartment complexes like The Reserve, 2511 W. 31st St., whose cable service is included in tenants' rent, are still in negotiations with the cable company.
"Part of the process we are going through is in an effort to make sure that we provide residents with quality cable service that meets and hopefully exceeds their needs," said Kelli Scheuerman, community manager at The Reserve.
Sunflower Broadband installed optional digital cable boxes to The Reserve residents last August. For those apartment complexes who did not receive digital boxes, Sunflower will provide one digital converter box for free for 12 months. Additional boxes must be rented from Sunflower. Negotiations will continue for about another month.
"We are viewing this as an opportunity to explore what is the best option for our residents whether that service continues to be through Sunflower or not," Scheuerman said.
Meadowbrook Apartments and Townhomes, 2601 Dover Sq., offers special cable packages for residents who pay Meadowbrook directly for expanded cable. New special rates will apply for residents but they may still need to pick up a digital transition box or rent more for additional TVs.
Brianne Koester, Hoisington senior and Meadowbrook resident, went to pick up her digital cable transition box from Sunflower before the June 2 deadline, but was
disappointed that residents receive only one box for free.
"My roommate would have to pay more for another box to get the same channels we get in our living room," Koester said. "I think it would be more customer-friendly if they would give us more than one."
Knorr said that Sunflower's digital cable boxes were more expensive than other satellite providers. In spite of the cost, Knorr said they provided a high-quality of channel service to cable subscribers.
Lawrence residents are not the only ones who are being affected by the digital transition era. According to the Federal Communication Commission Web site, by February 2009, broadcasters such as ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and PBS must stop distributing their signal in an analog format. The FCC has strongly encouraged cable TV operators to transition to all-digital distribution.

Students for Environmental Action at Kansas State started Recycalusa four years ago, after forming a coalition with KU Environs. Since the program's start, 25,000 pounds of recycling has been diverted from landfills. This year's goal is to collect 10,000 pounds, 2,000 more pounds than last year.
Prizes for trash
By getting everyone involved, Ortiz hopes people will become more aware of recycling and where they can recycle in their own communities. Clark also said this program encouraged people to do the right thing, and made them think about recycling even when they home.
Recycalusa volunteers will hand out recycling bags to festival goers. If concert attendees fill up their bag, they can turn it into the Recycalusa booth, receive free merchandise and enter in a raffle to win a motorcycle and free tickets to next week's festival.
Becky Clark and Ryan Ortiz, Kansas State University alumni, will run Reccalusa, and lead its 140 volunteers.
Environmentally conscious music fanatics can win concert tickets by participating in Recycalusa, a program that collects trash at Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival.
A Recycalusa booth will be set up where local businesses and bands can also donate merchandise, like CDs and posters.
Ryan Callihan, Lenexa senior, said this would be his second year volunteering for Recycalusa.
"The best part is the feeling of accomplishment," Callihan said.

That doesn't mean others can't learn from your question, it just means that I will only be concerned with you and your specific question at that moment.
Have you ever wanted to ask a question about sex that you thought was too embarrassing to ask your friends? Have you ever wanted relationship advice from an unbiased party? Have you ever wanted an outside opinion on whether to try a ridiculously named sex position? Do you wonder how long the average penis is when it is erect? (This may seem like a male oriented question, but I guarentee some women out there want to know.)
Sometimes your question is too complex for one simple answer and that's where I come in. I don't claim

COMMENTARY
Feminity needs second look
In the fight for unity among our cultures, religions and politics, two KU women stand up unified, but fatally in contrast. They are taking the summer as an opportunity to both express and promote their drastically contradictory opinions in order to enlighten you on the beauty of diversity and prove that in spite of it all, we can all just get along.
This week Yelena and Jessica examine how the concept of femininity in the American mindset is constantly evolving. How do women cope with their societal expectations and how should men respond?
Yelena: We have come such a long way from stay at home moms whose primary concern is getting dinner on the table. Some women, including myself, do not want a family. We put our careers first. Consequently, we disregard the newfound role of "super-mom" who does it all with kids in tow. It is not necessarily a bad position for women in society, more can be said for focusing efforts on a specific goal and achieving it instead of spreading oneself too thin.
Jessica: Before we talk about how much a woman can put on her plate, let's examine the real issue: What is femininity? No matter how different we are among each other, women have qualities inherently wonderful and unique from men. We have to get away from the idea that in order to be successful women, we must deny our gender. We need to stand up and be the best we can be as women. That means accepting our differences from men, not as weaknesses, but advantages. Then we can work with men to further society in a self-fulfilling way.
Yelena: The role of women carries so much more weight today than ever before. Of course with the upcoming election, we have prominent figures, such as Hillary Clinton, who are striving to accomplish a previously unattainable goals. Regardless of your political standpoint, this is a triumph for our sex, and it will allow us to go further than ever before in the political spectrum. Perhaps now, when a seven-year-old girl says she wants to be president
年 月 日

someday, it will be plausible.
Jessica: I agree that Hillary's success (not yet reached, I might add) is extraordinary. Yet I think without the support of her family she would not be in that position. Does that mean I think that she is not qualified? Absolutely not. In fact, I think she is better than Obama because of her experience in the White House: an experience she would not have received without Bill Clinton. On that note, I think that women should not be ashamed to rely on their families as support in their careers. Men and women have complementing abilities. Hillary is a great example of a successful woman, but she is also a good wife and mother. That is not a bad thing.
Yelena: The concept of a successful woman has a variety of aspects. One woman's success may be a family with children, while another's may be a solid career. Women have evolved from meek background figures to prominent sex symbols. Take a look at one of the top rated shows on E!'s Playboy's The Girls Next Door. It shows women using their bodies to
feature success. I am offended these women would demean themselves for a man's attention. With that said, it is a means to an end. Only women can do such a thing in today's society, and that shows progress among women. That is proof of our ability to benefit from our sexuality. The women on the show have received fame as well as money, i.e. success. If men did not want this women would find other ways to achieve success.
Jessica: Women today, as in every other generation, have an innate desire within them to be recognized as women, beautiful women. Some define their beauty in different ways: money, careers or sexual attention. No matter how the definition is skewed, every woman wants someone to appreciate her femininity. The women on that show are seeking attention to fill a void that this generation has created in making women objects for a man's selfish and impermanent desires. Women have so much more to offer than the superficial and short-lived beauty men pay for. Men, if you want to live up to your own masculinity, you need to find the truly successful woman: the one who respects herself by making you fight for what it is that makes her beautiful. And I promise, the prize is much greater.

College World Series: June 14 to June 25
Kansas baseball may have fallen short of the postseason this year, but some college baseball teams are heading down the home stretch, hoping for a trip to Rosenblatt Stadium.
The series becomes an event for the entire area surrounding the stadium. Max Utsler, a KU professor who will work his third straight year
"The College World Series is special because of the tradition," said Catherine Morrisey, executive director of College World Series of Omaha Incorporated. "The sport has true purity. It's a beautiful rendition of the game, and it's stunning to watch."
Omaha, Neb., will host the College World Series from June 14 to June 25. The eight-team, double-elimination tournament will crown college baseball's national champion. Kansas is not eligible for the College World Series, but the event does not cater solely to fans of specific teams. For nearly two weeks, Omaha fills with baseball fanatics of all allegiances.
The College World Series has become an early summer Omaha tradition. Rosenblatt Stadium has hosted the tournament since 1950 and Omaha is under contract to hold the World Series each year until 2035.

The festival that made alternative rock mainstream is back with a few more genres in tow.
Lollapalooza, held August 1 to August 3 at Grant Park in downtown Chicago, boasts headliners as diverse as Radiohead, Kanye West and Wilco. A $190, three-day pass buys an opportunity to see 108 performers.
"It's really festive and mostly a young crowd," Courtney Bregar, Chicago junior, said. "It's a huge deal here - we're already starting to make plans to get off of work that weekend."
The festival toured the United States in the '90s and originally

showcased underground rock and grunge before fading out at the end of the decade. Lollapalooza returned in 2005 as an annual event set in Chicago with a focus on delivering more diverse performers.
The 2008 lineup includes mainstream and under-the-radar artists from genres such as hard rock with Rage Against the Machine, hip-hop with Lupe Fiasco and acoustic with Iron and Wine.
If the Lake of the Ozarks, located in central Missouri about 170 miles east of Lawrence, has a problem, it could be the overwhelming number of activities it offers visitors. And that's not a bad problem to have.
Ask Jim Divinceen which Lake of the Ozarks area golf course he likes best, and he won't offer any recommendations. It's not that Divincen dislikes golf, but the Tri-County Lodging Association administrator can't name a favorite because there are too many he enjoys playing.
The lake, bordered by two state parks, is popular for all sorts of boating. Fishing is common in the morning, jet skiing is the most popular afternoon attraction and nighttime provides an opportunity to visit Party Cove, a mile-long stretch of the lake frequented by revelers.

Though vendors are plentiful within the festival's fences, exit and re-entry are allowed at Lollapaloooa. Grant Park's central location provides the opportunity to stray from the music for sightseeing or eating in downtown Chicago. The park sits on Lake Shore Drive, seven blocks from the Sears Tower and is surrounded by dining and shopping opportunities.
Lake of the Ozarks: All summer

"It's a pretty chill atmosphere," Matt Guerra, Wichita sophomore, said. "The coolest thing was how close everything was to the water."
The Lake of the Ozarks provides plenty of dining and entertainment choices for visitors on a budget. With 39 restaurants along the waterfront and more than 100 retail stores in the area, travelers have plenty of options. The green fees at the area's 16 golf courses aren't especially steep, either.
"Some of the biggest names in golf have designed the courses," Divincen said. "It's very affordable, coming from a big city where you might pay $100 to play."
Western Kansas has its fair share of wide-open spaces, but the miles between Lawrence and the Colorado border have more attractions than meets the eye.
Interstate 70 spans 422 miles across Kansas, from the urban sprawl of Kansas City to the flat fields near the state's western border. From Lawrence west, the highway is dotted with a day's worth of quirky and interesting locations.
Western Kansas: All summer
One of western Kansas' most
unusual structures is The Garden of Eden, a building erected to honor the 20th century populist movement. The home-turned-museum, built nearly 100 years ago by sculptor and social commentator Samuel P. Dinsmoor, contains more than 200 sculptures and oak, redwood and walnut decor.
"The biggest attraction is the architecture," Garden of Eden tour guide Brandie Stoneburgh said. "It all tells a story. Everything has some sort of meaning behind it."
Perhaps even odder than the building are its contents. Visitors can view Dinsmoor's decomposing body through a pane of glass. The sculptor died in 1932.
"It's really crazy and totally unique," said Kayla Regan, Wichita junior, who visited The Garden of Eden with her parents. "You're not going to find something that insane in the rest of Kansas."
The towns between Lucas and Lawrence also provide daytrips. The Cozy Inn, wedged into a small building in downtown Salina, serves tiny and inexpensive burgers. Abilene, a town of fewer than 7,000 residents, is home to the Eisenhower Museum and Library and the famous fried chicken of the Brookville Hotel, which was put on the map by traveling soldiers during World War II.

Parkville, home to Park University is a town of about 4,000 with the character of a mini-Massachusetts Street. The college sits on a hill north of the town, overlooking the several blocks of shops and restaurants that comprise downtown.
"Parkville is popular because it's such an eclectic area," said Gloria Heifner, an employee at Northland
Exposure Artists' Gallery in Parkville. "The stores offer unique experiences."
In two block space, downtown Parkville offers Argentinian, Italian and French cuisine in addition to the microbrews, pizza and sandwiches available at the Power Plant Restaurant and Brewery.
"There's an old, traditional hometown feel here," Power Plant owner Scott Gardner said.

LAWRENCE
Top bars to visit this summer
BREWERY BAR
CHRISTINE D'AMICO/KANSAN
Louise's West patrons Patrick Buchanan and Brett Schowalter enjoy a couple of drinks at their favorite summertime bar. Many other bars in Lawrence offer fun for those summer downtimes.
It's summertime in Lawrence. Students have left and been replaced with construction zones. With such a dramatic shift in the population, it's easy to end up at a popular college bar and find the stools empty. Here are the top bars to visit this summer.
5. LOUISE'S WEST 1307 W 7TH ST.
During the school year, this watering hole might not be on the top of many lists, but when summertime comes this bar shows its double life. It may not be the roomiest bar in town, but don't let that fool you. Its cozy nature and scooner-sized beer options attract all kinds of summer residents.
4. CADILLAC RANCH 2515 W 6TH ST.
"It's definitely a niche bar," employee Brett Schowalter said. "West will continue with or without students, but in the summer time there is definitely an influx."
If a dance floor more suits your fancy, then head uptown to "The Ranch." Patrons can break down the beat to an array of popular music. Once you've built up a sweat, head to the large outdoor patio. Beware that it may not be a place for a quietconversation, though.
3. JET LAG LOUNGE 610 FLORIDA ST.
The next stop to put on your "night out" list, Jet Lag. This bar is filled
with plenty of people and amazingly priced drinks.
2. REPLAY LOUNGE
946 MASSACHUSETTS ST.
"The happening places in the summer are different than during the school year because their clienteles don't necessarily go to college," Jayhawk Taxi driver Shawn Hoefler said. He was right. After dropping me off at the Replay, I realized live music and a large patio was the perfect equation for a great night out.
"The summer really picks up. The size of the bar doubles with how big the patio is and it's a great atmosphere," Lacey Doherty, Olathe
junior, said.
1. QUINTON'S BAR AND DELI 615 MASSACHUSETTS ST.
"It's a lot more relaxed in the summer, more fun to drink at and more mature atmosphere," 2007 graduate Valerie Thudium said.
With two patios and four bars, including the season-fitting ice bar, Quinton's laid-back environment can suit everyone in a social group.
So, while out this summer, venture to new places, try new social scenes and mingle with the summer social crowd around Lawrence.

SUMMERTIME FUN
Bonfires warm up summer
Remove the wiring from your grill. Gather dry wood, sticks and leaves and stack them in your grill. Make sure they are dry because damp wood causes more smoke. Splash a tiny bit of lighter fluid onto the wood and carefully light it on fire. Prod the wood to keep the fire going. As the fire burns low, add more wood and leaves.
If you're looking for a great way to spend a summer night with your friends, look no further than your backyard. Creating a bonfire can instantly warm up a summer breeze. If you try to make this camping classic on the ground, you may cause a fire. For safety, find a small or medium charcoal grill to prepare your bonfire.
Once your bonfire is going, cozy up and enjoy the flames. A fun way to enjoy the bonfire is making s'mores by buying graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows.
"One of the best things about summer is having some beer with your friends around a bonfire in the middle of nowhere," Margie Rolwes, 2008 graduate, said. "You can have someone blasting a radio from a car and it's always fun. I love grabbing a bag of marshmallows and just hanging out by the fire."
— Rebekah Scaperlanda
Get wire hangers from your closet and unbend to make roasting utensils. Roast the marshmallows on your hangings in your new bonfire and enjoy the tasty treat.
Keep water or a hose near by in order to control the flames if they get too large. When you're finished with your bonfire, make sure all the flames are extinguished before you go inside. Bonfires are fun, but lighting your friends on fire does not make for a fun night.

Revamp clothes with old buttons
Sachiko Miyakawa/KANSAN
A variety of buttons can be used to decorate alomst any part of a wardrobe. They can dress up any outfit for a night out on the town or just hanning out with friends.
10.
If you've ever noticed the spare buttons sewn inside your button-down clothing, stop wasting that untapped potential and revitalize your dull old clothes by sewing on the buttons.
Gather a variety of buttons. Choose a purse, plain jacket, shirt or jeans to decorate. You can add spice with some unusually big buttons. Sometimes using contrasting colors works well. Ask Grandma if it would be all right to modify her ancient hand-me-downs.
Experiment with button placement before you start sewing. Photograph or sketch your final design to reference as a guide. There aren't many
rules for this, so be creative and have fun.
Repeat this three times for each hole. End with a secure double-knot at the inside of the clothing.
For each button, slide a half yard of thread through the eye of a needle. A needle threader makes this easy for you. Fold the thread in half and tie two or three firm knots at the end. Push the needle up through the back of side of the fabric and through one of the holes in the button. Then push the needle back down through the next hole and through the fabric.
A needle and threads are available at Hobby Lobby, 1801 W. 23rd St. You can find antique buttons at the lower floor of Lawrence Antique Mall, 830 Massachusetts St.
Enjoy your transformed clothes and wear them boldly!
》 COOKING ON A BUDGET

Five ingredients for fast dessert
POOF PASTRY
Laura Kitzmiller, Prairie Village junior, shares her quick and easy recipe for getting a cheap sugar rush.
INGREDIENTS
1 can of Pillsbury crescent rolls
1 bag of marshmallows
1/8 stick of butter
Dash of sugar
Dash of cinnamon
DIRECTIONS
Place one marshmallow inside each crescent roll. Put each roll on a cookie sheet and bake for eight to 10 minutes.
"Watch and they'll poof up," Kitzmiller said, while taking a break from work at Pita Pit, 1011 Massachusetts Street.
Melt the butter in a bowl and dip the crescent roll in butter after taking rolls out of the oven.
With your pastry now saturated in butter, roll it in an already prepared bowl of cinnamon and sugar and enjoy.
"It's just ridiculously sugary and awesome," Kitzmiller said.
Kitzmiller swears she's a bit of a health nut at heart. But even she has succumbed to the Poof Pastry urge a time or two. After all, how can you resist the unusual combination of butter, sugar, cinnamon and marshmallows?
BRIEF
"It's just a good, cheap dessert if you're bored and you want a snack," she said. "It's pretty easy, pretty fast and fun. And it serves a lot of people."

Salmonella outbreak linked to uncooked tomatoes
ATLANTA — An outbreak of salmonella food poisoning first linked to uncooked tomatoes has now been reported in nine states, U.S. health officials said Tuesday.
Lab tests have confirmed 40 illnesses in Texas and New Mexico as the same type of salmonella, right down to the genetic fingerprint. An investigation by Texas and New Mexico health authorities and the Indian Health Service tied those cases to uncooked, raw, large tomatoes.
Another 30 people have become sick with the same Salmonella Saintpaul infection in Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Idaho, Illinois and Indiana. CDC investigators are looking into whether tomatoes were culprits there, too.
At least 17 people in Texas and New Mexico have been hospitalized. None have died, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In Texas and New Mexico, raw large tomatoes — including Roma and red round tomatoes — were found to be a common factor in the 40 illnesses.

Festival offers 5Rhythms Dance instructor leads dance for Wakarusa patrons
Laura Martin-Eagle teaches a 5Rhythms class at Be Moved Studio. Martin-Eagles will be teaching classes at the Wakanusa Festival.

Deepa Sampat/KANSAN
Before dancing to the tunes of your favorite band at the Wakarusa Festival, take advantage of the many yoga and healing sessions offered every morning of the festival.
This is the second year Laura Martin-Eagle, instructor at Be Moved Studio, 2 E. 7th St., will be leading sessions at the festival. Martin-Eagle will teach 5Rhythms practice, which is a type of dance movement meant to help participants be conscious of their bodies and their movements. Martin-Eagle said that she would lead the 5Rhythms practice at the Wakarusa Festival differently than she usually did at the studio.
"I will be facilitating movement in people's bodies as a way to connect to a deeper part of themselves, allowing different parts of their bodies to speak," she said.
Martin-Eagle said that no matter what a person's experience level, everyone could participate in 5Rhythms. She said that she thought it would be especially beneficial to patrons of the Wakarusa Festival.
"A lot of these kids are very receptive to movement and there seems to be this idea that you can move yourself and lose your body while dancing," she said. "I tend to teach that you can find your body by dancing"
Not only does the 5Rhythms practice help to create awareness of one's body, but it also helps to maintain one's mental health. (said Martin-Eagle?)
"A clenched jaw or raised shoulder may be a sign of harboring anxiety." Martin-Eagle said. "Allowing those places to move allows the anxiety to move out as well."

SIGMA NU (CONTINUED FROM 4)
of Sigma Nu were replaced. Alumni hosted events in Kansas to recruit new leadership.
Jordan Herbert, Olathe sophomore and Sigma Nu president, said the colony worked hard to write a 400-page petition to present to the national fraternity, located in Lexington, Va. They must demonstrate they can form a lasting organization.
"You have to prove to the national chapter that you're working to be a rock chapter, which embodies everything good about a fraternity," Herbert said.
According to Herbert, Sigma Nu has 23 members this semester, and they are anticipating 50 members for next semester.
"We're getting back into Greek activities and philanthropy. Now we're trying to reach out to the community and the University," Herbert said.
Herbert said he believed the national fraternity should perform a re-chartering ceremony before October.
Brad Beacham, executive director
of Sigma Nu Fraternity, Inc., said he would be surprised if the Sigma Nu colony was not ready for their charter by the end of the year.
"The fraternity is delighted at the wonderful work out student members have done over the course of this last academic year," Beacham said.
The national fraternity needs to evaluate a colony's petition before granting a charter, but Beacham believes the KU colony is very close to completion. John Gofcha, Salina sophomore, helped with philanthropy projects such as Cans for Chemo to help re-gain the colony's charter.
"Since we were restarting, there were lots of leadership positions open, and you could jump right in," Gofcha said.
Gofcha hopes Sigma Nu will make strides in its grades and participation on campus next year.
"We're really looking forward to the re-chartering ceremony," Gofcha said.

AT THE MOVIES
'Strangers formulates scares, lacks originality
From the get-go, "The Strangers" is saddled with the weight of its genre. Movie-goers know how horror films tend to end, which makes writer-director Brian Bertino's duty quite a bit more difficult. Given the predictability of the film's plot and the inevitability of its events, Bertino does a stand-up job.
The film opens with a look-ahead scene that shines light on the dark and dreary crime scene created during the next 80 minutes. Bertino lends humanity to his protagonists by painting James Hoyt (Scott Speedman) and Kristen McKay (Liv Tyler) as detached pieces in a relationship gone wrong.
The bitter lovers' dispute becomes the least of their worries as the movie progresses and masked intruders terrorize the couple at their remote country home. Speedman and Tyler,

WITH A STARRING OF KATE WATERFORD, JAMIE ROWLAND, BRIAN MILLER, GINA WOODS, NATHANIEL SMITH, JENNIFER CRAFT, AND RACHEL DAVIS

who don't deliver much dialogue, offer believable performances.
Though "The Strangers" falls back on old tricks of the horror genre to trigger scares, it often succeeds because of the masterful use of music and camera angles. The film is Bertino's directorial debut, but he synchronizes the film's ambient score with the action with veteran precision.
"The Strangers" is more formulaic than it is revolutionary, but Bertino's deft work is enough to provide an unsettling experience.

BOOK REVIEW
'Long Way inspires
Rebel fighters ripped Sierra Leone apart during the 1990s, killing soldiers and civilians with unimaginable brutality.
Ishmael Beah watched the horror first-hand, serving as a child soldier for the army as recounted in "A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier."
Coerced by his military superiors into drug use and rewarded for his lethalness, Beah was promoted in the ranks, and loyal to the war cause.
An intervention by UNICEF suddenly thrust Beah into a peaceful environment, but did little to stop the demons left by years of war.
Beah's memoir of the civil war in Sierra Leone is a riveting reminder of the evils of war, and its life-altering effect on everything it touches.
Beah's story is gut-wrenching and capable of making your skin crawl, as he details the slow deaths of civilians. His message is also uplifting, a reminder that an average person can overcome horrendous obstacles.

Robyn struts her sound
РОВУП
You've seen teen pop stars come and go, writing one-hit wonders then vanishing into the night. If they're lucky, they could generate enough scandal publicity long enough to drop another album and redeem themselves. But one wonders about teen pop star Robyn.
Robyn, who graced pop charts in 1997 with her hit, "Show Me Love," has now returned to beat the charts again. In her self-titled album, "Robyn," she introduces a funky, pop-electro sound. The songs are written and produced by her label, Konichiwa. Now, all grown up, the 28-year-old delivers confidence and attitude in "Konichiwa Bitches" and flaunts her uniqueness in "Who's
that Girl." She's stepped out of the norm and produced a new flavor that people can dance to with songs like "Cobrastyle" and "Bum Like You."
"Robyn" is an album people would enjoy. So in the words of Robyn's song, "Konichiwa Bitches," "check the scenario: I'm a bust your ear drum leave your head ringin with the ringa ding dong."

》FOOD REVIEW
When I walked inside, I chose between a regular dish and a waffle cone dish. I went with the regular dish because I already planned to consume enough sugar to make pixie sticks jealous. Then nine softserve frozen yogurt pumps greeted me. As curious as peanut butter frozen yogurt made me, I could not resist the classic vanilla and chocolate swirl.
Option was the first word that came to my mind after visiting Yummy's Over the Top Frozen Yogurt. This is because Yummy's, 1119 Massachusetts St., gives its customers more options for how they want to build the perfect ice cream, excuse me, frozen yogurt sundae, than any other ice cream/ frozen yogurt shop in town.
Yummy's lives up to its tasty name
Next I moved down the counter to the sauce station, which featured nine different sauces. Call me boring, but I am not a guy who sees hot fudge and turns it down, although it was nice to know I could have chosen from raspberry sauce or melted marshmallows.
Finally, I arrived at the candy station. By candy, I mean 36 choices - ranging from classics like sprinkles and gummy worms to more unusual choices such as Cap'n Crunch. I yielded to my alltime favorite topping, crunched up Oreos, and decided to call it a sundae.
At Yummy's, customers pay 42 cents per ounce of sundae. This leaves the door open for customers to decide how much they want to pile on. People like me may want to stick to the basics, but others, like the kid in front of me, may want to see how a nine-flavor combo tastes.
Yummy's has the most options and is the pinnacle of frozen yogurt in Lawrence.
★
I skipped over the fruit and baked goods station, and I did appreciate the concept of brownie chunks and cheesecake bits as toppings.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
NBA-hopeful's grades called into question
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Darrell Arthur is expected to be picked in the first round of the NBA Draft this month because of a successful college career at Kansas, but one of Arthur's high school teachers is alleging that he shouldn't have been eligible to play in college at all.
Winford Ashmore, Arthur's freshman algebra teacher at South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas, told WFAA-TV that Arthur's grade was changed from failing to passing in his 2002 class. The Dallas television station investigated the claims and reported that Arthur's math grade was also changed the next year.
If Arthur didn't pass high school algebra, he wouldn't have been eligible to play Division-I college basketball. James Mays Jr., Arthur's high school basketball coach, denied the report and said he was upset that the television station would release the story without sufficient information.
"We're disappointed and frustrated at the same time," Mays said. "These allegations are completely untrue."
The Dallas Independent School District is conducting its own investigation to determine if any grade-
changing took place. If the school district finds that Arthur's grades were tampered with, South Oak Cliff would likely have to forfeit its 2005 state championship.
Stacey Osburn, the NCAA's associate director of public relations, couldn't answer the question about how this would affect the KU national championship.
"Until the Dallas Independent School District has concluded its investigation, it is premature for the NCAA to speculate on this matter," she said.
WFAA-TV, however, reported in its initial story that an NCAA official said a university could be forced to forfeit all games if an ineligible player was used. Like all NCAA athletes, Arthur was ruled eligible to compete by the NCAA Clearinghouse before arriving on campus in 2006.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said that while Arthur passing through the clearinghouse didn't absolve the University of all responsibility, he didn't think the University was involved in any wrongdoing.
"I would be much more concerned if I thought that Darrell or anybody from Kansas had done anything improper," Marchiony said. "I know
that's not the case."
Marchiony added that the Athletics Department had not been given any notification of when the school district's investigation would be completed.
Everyone involved is waiting for the investigation to run its course, including Kansas basketball coach Bill Self.
"I'm sure the high school and the school district will do a good job determining the facts," Self said in a statement. "It would be premature and inappropriate for anyone to comment any further until the process in Dallas takes its course."
Arthur has not commented on the situation, either. He attended the NBA Pre-Draft Camp in Orlando last week where he told reporters he intended to remain in the draft.
Mays has been in contact with Arthur since WFAA's story first aired. He said that while Arthur was disappointed by the allegations, he wasn't letting it distract him from preparing for his life as a professional basketball player.
Mays also said he planned to pursue legal action against both Ashmore and the television station. Ashmore declined to comment.

VOLLEYBALL

Camp grooms local talent
BY JESSE TEMPLE
jtemple@kansan.com
Katie Martincich bent her knees, shuffling between three volleyballs placed on the floor at mid-court Saturday afternoon inside the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Thirty wide-eyed summer campers watched from the baseline as the Shawnee junior demonstrated proper footwork and setting technique.
The moment passed in less than two minutes. But symbolically, Martinicich's career as a Jayhawk volleyballer had come full circle. Not long ago, she was the one staring up from the very same baseline, hoping to be a collegiate player herself.
Martincich is one of many current and former KU volleyball players who grew up attending head coach Ray Bechard's camp as middle and high schoolers. Martincich, Emily Brown, Savannah Noyes and Jenna Kaiser, key components to last season's roster, all made the trek to the summer camp growing up. So did former Jayhawks and local products Jamie Mathewson and Dani Wittman, who still return to teach lessons at the camp.
"I've probably been here since I was 12 years old," Martinicinch said. "It's kind of fun to be able to know what (the campers) are going through, but now I'm actually playing here."
KU assistant coach Christi Posey said it was no coincidence that scenario plays out.
"I think it helps to establish relationships with the coaching staff and also the players," Posey said. "What better way to find out if your coach is going to be a jerk or somebody who you can work with?
Certainly, you can develop some camaraderie with future players."
That was just the way it developed for Martincich, who said she became good friends with Brown at the KU camp when the two were in high school.
"It actually was a pretty big deal," Martinicich said. "I knew Emily pretty well. We were suitmates at one of the camps. Neither one of us had committed at that point. So, it was like, 'If she's going, then I'm going to go.'"
Because both local players attended camp in a smaller setting, the two were able to feel a level of comfort they may not have found at larger, national summer volleyball camps — a significant advantage at the University, according to Bechard.
"My own daughter went to a variety of camps all over the country, and she found out this might be as good of a camp as what she had," Bechard said. "Sometimes it's 'Let's get outside of Lawrence and experience something different.' But those kids usually come back. I think it means we must be doing a good job."
The University is doing a good job of maintaining players from its own state. Last year's roster featured seven players from Kansas, many of whom attended Bechard's camp while being recruited.
"I feel like there is a lot more coach-on-camper attention at KU," Martincich said. "Some national camps have a lot of kids there and it's hard to get much one on one time."
According to Posey, single-day camp ratios stay about six players to one coach and even the University's largest camps never have a ratio of more than 12-to-1. National camps,
on the other hand, have much larger ratios.
"We just think you can begin to develop some quality relationships and hopefully build on that for the next level," Posey said.

Last weekend, nearly 300 campers between 6th and 12th grade came to Kansas' three-day volleyball camp, which focused on setting, hitting and defense. Another 200 were expected for the overnight camp, which began on Tuesday and runs until Friday.
It's likely that a future Jayhawk or two lies somewhere in those 500 campers. Perhaps someday they, like Martinich, will return to Horejsi Center as Jayhawks to leave an impression on young campers watching drills from the baseline.
"It's nice that you feel like when you put some work in, there is a little bit of a reward to have those kids come back to be on scholarship," Posey said.

Top five moments in Kansas sports from the past school year
It's not even fair. For the third straight year, senior thrower Egor Agafonov won the hammer throw at the Big 12 Championship. He's only athlete to ever accomplish the feat.
Led by quarterback Todd Reesing, the Jayhawk offense went berserk — against national powerhouse Nebraska. Kansas scored touchdowns on 10 straight offensive possessions and Reesing threw for six touchdowns.

Not only did Kansas make its first Bowl Championship Series bowl game, but it also made the most of it. The Jayhawks put away the heavily favored Hokies and capped off a dream season behind Orange Bowl Most Valuable Player Aqib Talib's first quarter interception return for a touchdown.
With 2:12 left in regulation, the Jayhawks trailed the Memphis Tigers by nine and all hope seemed to be lost. But Sherron Collins stole an in-bounds pass and drained a three, the Tigers missed some free throws and Mario Chalmers hit 'the shot'. The rest is history: Kansas 75, Memphis 68.

ODD NEWS Pipe-bomb-stuffed chicken coos local police
SIMSBURY, Conn. — Authorities in Connecticut are wondering who stuffed a raw roasting chicken with a pipe bomb and left it on a roadside.
Simsbury police Capt. Matthew Catania said a motorist noticed the chicken Friday morning. He said the bomb was large enough to harm a person if it went off.
Nobody was injured. No arrests had been made Monday night.
The road was closed while the Hartford Police Department's bomb squad came and blew up the chicken.
Jurors distract with Sudoku, puzzle judge
SYDNEY, Australia — A judge halted a drug conspiracy trial Tuesday after some jurors were found to have been playing the puzzle game Sudoku while evidence was being given.
Sydney District Court Judge Peter Zahra ended the trial Tuesday for two men facing a possible life sentence for drug conspiracy charges.The trial had been running for 66 days and had cost taxpayers an estimated $950,000.
The judge was alerted after jurors were observed writing vertically, rather than horizontally. It had been assumed they were taking notes.
"Yes, it helps me keep my mind busy paying more attention;" the jury foreman told the judge Tuesday. "Some of the evidence is rather drawn out and I find it difficult to maintain my attention the whole time, and that doesn't distract me too much from proceedings."

Fake KU Credit Union e-mails infiltrate inboxes
BY DEEPA SAMPAT dsampat@kansan.com
Phishing e-mails claiming to be from the KU Credit Union have been arriving in the KU account inboxes of students, staff and faculty.
The e-mails ask recipients to verify personal account information.
Julie Fugett, information security analyst for the IT Security Department, said the e-mails had been a staged attack, which allowed the e-mails to become more advanced over time.
The first string of e-mails appeared in April and claimed to be from the University Help Desk. Those e-mails asked students to verify their account information, such
as user names and passwords. Fugett said the hackers then sent e-mails from those KU e-mail accounts.
"That is part of the reason they look real," Fugett said. "Another part is that the bad guys are getting better at what they do. They've started adding things like security notices."
The link in the e-mail asked students to verify their account information but Fugett said that when people replied, they were actually allowing their information to be harvested.
Fugett said the same result happened when people entered their debit or credit card information and social security numbers.
"They want to steal as much information from you as possible so
they can spend your money," Fugett said.
Joe Nasternak, Kansas City, Kan., senior, said he first received an e-mail claiming to be from the Credit Union in late May. Since then, he has received about four more e-mails.
"I had a feeling it wasn't real, especially since I don't have an account with the KU Credit Union," Nasternak said. "That was my red flag."
Nasternak said that he thought the e-mail looked legitimate, however, because of its format and the link it included.
"The only things that they messed up were some grammatical errors that the Credit Union wouldn't
make," he said. "Other than that I could see how someone would think it was real."
Fugett said that the e-mails were especially innovative because they were able to bypass the University's spam filters. She said that the IT Security Office did its best to filter spam e-mail, but that because it wanted to let all legitimate e-mails through, sometimes bad e-mails got past the system.
Bill Myers, director of information services, said that he didn't know when the e-mails would be phased out of the system. He said that the Security Office filtered about 3 million to 5 million spam e-mails out of the system per day.
“It's way more than what ever gets
into inboxes," he said. "Spammers are always looking for ways to penetrate the network."
Fugett said the security office had been working to combat the problem by sending anyone who was logged onto a computer within the University network to the Security Office's Web site when they clicked on the link.
"The situation was getting dire enough that we said we had to do something, so that's what we decided to do," Fugett said.
If you've responded to the e-mail and given out your personal information, call the University Customer Service Center at (785) 864-8080.

KUIDs get new design,meet identity standards
BY DEEPA SAMPAT dsampat@kansan.com
Jill Dryden has had the same KU identification card since her freshman year. Dryden, Sugarland, Texas,
senior, said she uses it to get into the Student Recreation Fitness Center, sporting events and as a second form of identification at the bars. But starting next year, Dryden will have the option to carry around a different card.
Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said that current ID cards failed to meet the University visual identity system standards that didn't exist when the cards were first
with the new design.
"They shouldn't have wasted money on a new design. I don't want to waste my time getting a new one."
DAN GERTSEMA
Olathe senior
The KU Card Center and University Relations collaborated with Commerce Bank and Bernstein-Rein, a marketing firm out of Kansas City, Mo., to develop a new design for the ID cards. The cards were introduced at the first new student orientation on June 6, and all incoming freshmen will be issued a card
issued a decade ago. The visual identity system ensures that all logos and identification related to the University stay consistent, such as using the same font. Before the visual identity system was in place, Cohen said that various departments were all using different logos.
"We have a much more consistent look across the board now," Cohen said. "We've gotten more and more people on board and it was time to get the card on the same look and feel as the University."
Cohen said that the endowment
center, alumni association and athletics had already changed their logos to comply with the visual identity system.
"The ID card was one of the last steps," he said. "Hopefully it has a much more dynamic look and it's recognizable and people can be proud to use it."
Current students can exchange their old cards for a new one at the KU Card Center for free. They will be charged $15 if they do not have their old ID to exchange. The Card Center is located on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
Nancy Miles, director of the KU Card Center, said the current ID cards would still be valid next year.
"We don't have any intention of saying that by a certain date students will need a new card," Miles said. "We plan to extend that out for awhile."
Dryden said she preferred the old cards to the new ones because she liked how "The University of Kansas" was written across the top.

KU IDs experience a new design after the current IDs didn't meet University visual identity standards. Some students are not pleased with the new design because it is not clear the card is from the University.
"If you are using it as a form of ID out-of-state and it just says KU, people might not know where it's from," Dryden said.
Dan Gertsema, Olathe senior, said he also liked the current cards better because he thought the state logo printed on them made them look
more official.
“It’s pointless; they shouldn't have wasted money on a new design," Gertsema said. "I don't want to waste my time getting a new one."

Kennedy returns home
BY GLEN JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Fresh from his hospitalization for an aggressive surgery on a cancerous brain tumor, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy announced it was "good to be home" at his family's Cape Cod compound Monday and headed out for a sail.
Kennedy left the Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., on Monday morning and arrived at his family's Hyannis Port compound just before noon. With his thick white hair visible beneath a beige, wide-trimmed hat, he told reporters he felt "good to be home, good to be here."
Within hours, he went out sailing with his wife, Vicki. It was the same
"His doctors are pleased with his progress since surgery a week ago, and he will continue to recuperate at home before starting the next phase of his treatment," Kennedy's office said in a statement. "He is thankful for the extraordinary care of the doctors and nurses at Duke, and also for the continued prayers and well wishes from the people of Massachusetts and all over the country."
homecoming routine he followed last month when he was released from a Boston hospital after being diagnosed with a malignant glioma, a lethal type of brain tumor. A malignant glioma is one of the worst kinds of brain cancer, and malignant gliomas are diagnosed in about 9,000 Americans a year.

Renovations limit space at recreation center
The Student Fitness Recreation Center moved exercise equipment and renovation work has cut down on space and interfering student who are trying to workout. Students have approached the change by looking into alternative health clubs around Lawrence.
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
Mindv Ricketts/KANSAN
Renovation work has cut down on space and moved exercise equipment at the Student Recreation Fitness Center, causing students to change their workout habits.
The temporary changes include the moving of cardio machines and limiting of free weights, which should be restored within two weeks.
The construction, which will add 45,000 square feet of exercise space to the center, is slated to wrap up by fall.
"We're closing in on the home stretch," said Mary Chappell, director of recreation services. "People can finally see some things happening. Hopefully it will be ready to roll pretty quickly and those here for the summer will get to enjoy some new space."
In the meantime, KU students have approached the inconvenience in varying ways.
Some, such as Josh Decker, Bronson senior, work out at the recreation center despite the shuffled equipment.
"The construction kind of throws off my routine," Decker said. "But it's not a huge deal."
Decker, who said he had visited the recreation center seven or eight
times since the start of summer, said he had not purchased a membership at a private health club because of the cost.
Alternative fitness club options in Lawrence include the Lawrence Athletic Club and Body Boutique. The Lawrence Athletic Club has two locations, each with free weight and cardio equipment. Body Boutique is a women's fitness center and spa that offers general workout equipment and group classes.
Body Boutique manager Carrie Forster said the number of KU students purchasing memberships had increased in the past year.
Though Lawrence Athletic Club owner Rick Sells said his gym's student membership numbers were just one-third of what they were before the KU recreation center opened, about 300 students still have memberships at the club.
"The LAC is nowhere near as busy as the rec," said Hans Tregear, a Wichita senior and Lawrence Athletic Club member. "It's a more relaxing atmosphere, and you can go at any time instead of 5:30 in the morning to get a workout in."
Chappell said attendance at the KU recreation center did not drop off noticeably when the renovations moved inside, and she expected summer pass sales to top last year's
totals. Students who are not enrolled in summer classes are required to purchase a summer pass to the recreation center. Passes costed $34 at the start of the summer and the cost decreases accordingly as the summer progresses.
Despite the increased student
interest, overcrowding should only be an issue for the next several weeks: Chappell said the new free weight area would be about twice the size of the old space. The full expansion also includes an expanded track and new basketball and racquetball courts.
"For those who have been hearing
us talk about it and waiting for it to come, I would hope they are getting a little excited," Chappell said. "Once we get the expansion piece open, there's going to be a lot to be excited about."

BRIEF
Two girls murdered in rural Oklahoma
TULSA, Okla. — The bodies of two girls were found shot to death in their rural community, along a dirt road the best friends used dozens of times to play and walk to sleeppovers.
By Tuesday investigators had found no suspects and were unsure of the motive for Sunday's killings of 13-year-old Taylor Paschal-Placker and 11-year-old Skyla Whitaker.
Taylor's grandfather found their bodies after his wife got no answer when she called Taylor's cellular phone. The girls were sleeping over at Taylor's house and had decided to take a walk down the desolate road Sunday afternoon.
Peter Placker sobbed uncontrollably Monday as he tried to remember finding the girls' bodies about a quarter of a mile from his house near Weeetka, about 70 miles south of Tulsa.
"I can't describe coming up on
it" he said. "I done it once and I can't do it again."
Kevin Rowland, chief investigator with the state medical examiner's office, said the girls each suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the head and chest.

》 ECM
Church seeks registry with historical society
BY GRETCHEN GIER
ggier@kansan.com
The Ecumenical Christian Ministries is asking the community to help revamp its building with $700,000 in renovations and registration with the Kansas State Historical Society.
In the past year, the ECM has sent out surveys and interviewed people who are familiar with the ECM. The ECM board wanted to know what changes the building supporters would like to see, how much community participation could be expected and who could contribute financially to the renovations.
In July, the ECM board will review the responses and vote on the next step to raise more money or remodel.
Robert Minor, professor of religious studies and president of the ECM board, said he knew people would participate in the ECM changes, but renovations were still in the research phase.
"We're trying to be careful and
cautious so we can do what people need, not what we think they need," Minor said.
He said another goal of the board was to get the building registered with the KSHS, which would give the organization tax breaks.
In 2007, ECM decided not to sell its building to the developers building the Oread Inn. The ECM board said they felt the building was historically significant and an important gathering place for the community.
"So many historical events took place there," said Leslie Tuttle, associate professor of history and humanities. Tuttle is one of the people working to get the building on the registry.
"Civil rights, women's rights, gay rights," Tuttle said. "It was designed to be a place where people in the community could gather and discuss things important to the community."
Tom Harper, founder of Lawrence Modern, and Tuttle will finish the application to have the ECM registered with the KSHS this fall. They need to provide a narrative architectural description of the property and a statement of significance based upon the National and State Register criteria.
"It's a building that needs to be preserved because it has a rich history in Lawrence, plus the added benefit of tax credits that can help with renovation," Harper said.
The ECM has to determine the feasibility of a capital campaign, which is necessary to raise money to bring the building up-to-date.
Jim Everett, consultant for The Church Development Foundation, is helping the ECM explore options to improve funds and programs. He talked to people who supported the ECM in the past by phone and surveys.
Everett said they were hoping to receive the surveys and prepare them for the board's meeting in July.
If approved, the ECM should be in the next phase of planning and renovations by next year.

TRANSPORTATION
Safety office rolls onto campus
BY MANDY EARLES
mearles@kansan.com
The KU Public Safety Office has begun using two newly-bought, two-wheeled vehicles known as Segways.
Security officers, patrol officers and administration from the safety office said they will use the Segways for anything from patrolling the campus area to going to meetings. The Campus Safety Advisory Board purchased the Segways for $6,000 each through a competitive bidding process.
George Lewis, Prairie Village senior, was on the advisory board when the decision to buy the Segways was made. Lewis said he voted for the Segways because it was a good investment for the campus police, but said he had not seen the Segways in use.
Lewis said the Segways were purchased through Student Senate's reserve account, which consists of $1.50 from each student for the Campus Safety Fee.
Schuyler Bailey, captain of the police support unit, said the Segways allowed officers the ability to interact with students.
"People stop the officers and ask about them, which creates a positive interaction between us and our community," Bailey said.
Bailey said the Segways also benefited the environment. He said the units were battery operated and could run about five hours without recharging. He said the Segways also didn't create any noise pollution.
"Anytime we use a Segway in lieu of a car, we can save money," Bailey said.
Kayleen Fleming, Manhattan junior, said she has not seen the Segways but thought the units were more eco-friendly than cars. She said she was still not sure how practical they were for the KU police.
"I'm just not sure how they would arrest someone on a Segway," Fleming said.
Clint Wiseman, Ottawa junior, who also has not seen the Segways,
felt they were impractical for a campus. He said he felt the police could just use bicycles instead of spending so much money for the Segways.
Bailey said the Segways offered advantages over bike patrol. He said the Segways required about two hours of training, whereas bicycle training required more hours of training and certification.
Wiseman said he thought the police were headed in the right direction as far as students noticing the campus police, but still thought there were some downfalls to the Segways.
"I just don't think I could take an officer on a Segway seriously," Wiseman said.
Along with their environmental efforts and regularly recycling, the safety office has purchased an electric car. Bailey said the department also had new marked police cars that are alternative fuel capable.
Though the Segways have helped the safety office become more environmentally friendly and lower its

EXERCISE
Lawrence man runs early morning workouts
SVA
BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com
Members of Dog Days do push ups early Tuesday morning at Memorial Stadium. Dog Days is a fitness program that meets every Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Don Gardner stood near the south endzone of Memorial Stadium at 6 a.m. last Tuesday. Microphone in hand, the long-time Lawrence resident gazed out at more than 800 people lined up on the field's yard lines and barked instructions.
Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN
"Alright, roll over on your stomach, and do push-ups for a minute," Gardner said, his voice crackling out of the stadium speakers. "Keep track of how many you can do. Then see if you can do more next week."
The mass of people fell to the ground and rolled over in unison, hoisting their torosis in the air. The sun had barely risen above Memorial Stadium, but Gardner was wide awake, standing above the sweaty bodies on the stadium turf.
Gardner.
Welcome to Dog Days, Lawrence's largest community workout, and meet its founder, Don "Red Dog"
For 25 years, Gardner has organized and run Dog Days, a twice-a week, 6 a.m. workout at Memorial Stadium. Gardner also runs an evening session at 6 p.m. For 25 years, Gardner has endured 4 a.m. wake-up calls to make sure he opens the stadium gates on time. And for 25 years, Gardner has kept Dog Days free of charge, even if that meant Gardner, who's retired, had to mow lawns in the summer for extra cash.
For Gardner, Dog Days is worth it. He'll celebrate 25 years of morning workouts in July, and he's turned Tuesday and Thursday mornings at the stadium into a community-bonding event — albeit a sweaty one. Just don't call the man with the microphone "Don." That's "Red Dog" to you — and he's got a license plate to prove it.

Julie Coleman, Naperville, Ill. graduate student, Rachel Ashworth, Prairie Village graduate student, and Kelsey Cline, Lawrence senior, walked on the track last Tuesday after their workout. The triad had never been to Dog Days before this
summer.
"There's a nice sense of community," Cline said.
Gardner said held like to see more KU students at Dog Days. He said he saw a steady flow of college kids a few summers ago, but the early morning wok-outs have always lacked 18- to 22-year-olds.
Tom Atchity, Overland Park senior, couldn't believe the crowd he experienced the first time he went to Dog Days.
"I definitely thought maybe 50 or 60, and it's close to 500 or 1,000," Atchity said.
Gardner said the attendance this summer had been at an all-time high.
"I like the bonding and friendships that develop," Gardner said, noting that Dog Days has resulted in three marriages and one proposal. "Everone's invited."
“You've got to want to do it,” Gardner said. But he'll still be the first to convince you to give it a try.
"I think you ought to enjoy life," Gardner said.

OPINION
DISCUSSION
PDA: Legitimate actions or too much information?
Yelena: Handholding, kissing,
cuddling or any other PDA is inappropriate and inconsiderate.
Jessica: But you and I hold hands in public all the time. I always get a little kiss on the cheek before I leave.
Yelena: True, but there is a big difference between best friends and romantic partners. We are just friends (contrary to rumor).
Jessica: Body language shows an unspoken realm of communication, and that doesn't stop in public.
Yelena: You should be secure enough in your relationship without the public announcement. The only time a kiss in public is acceptable is if your romantic partner is going off to war. If I wanted to see PDA, I would watch an adult movie. Respect your

environment and the people in it.
Jessica: Wow, Yelena, you made a grown-up comment. You must be aware of your surroundings and judge your behavior accordingly. However, you could leave your partner feeling inadequate if you don't show your willingness to show everyone how well he or she complements your life.
What do you have to hide?
Yelena: Actions do speak louder than words. Yet, it's sickening when couples say "I love you" every two seconds. It is as if you are so unconfident in your relationship that you need constant reassurance. There is a man in my life whom I hold dear to my heart. Throughout our relationship, he never showed PDA, except before sending me off to Europe. Before him, I did not understand the connotations of PDA. At social functions, we felt so closely connected on other levels that we did not need to be touching. I never felt more loved and secure in any other relationship.
Jessica: I used to think that PDA was bad until I met a man who refused it. Why? I was not the only
girl he had to show off. Ladies, for the sake of your heart, you need to watch how your man refuses that ever so criticized PDA. Is it because he is truly self-conscious or is there another reason? My boyfriend showed his first display of affection immediately after our first kiss. We went to a bar in New York City and he held my hand proudly as if to say, "Yah, she's mine. Jealous?" That legitimized our relationship.
Yelena: You are not on a reality TV show. Your relationship is for you and your partner alone. The way he treats you is important. However, partners should show this with their time, attention and commitment, not with tonsil hockey in the middle of campus.
Jessica: Agreed, but that attention shouldn't end at the front door. Think about it this way. What is the first thing a child does when they find something they love: say dancing, baseball, or a drawing. They go to their parents and say, "Mommy, daddy, look!" It is natural to share your happiness with those around you. I'm not advocating making a statement on Wescoe Beach with your tongue, but if you won't hold my hand, you're telling me that you don't want other people to know we're together. Life is too precious to hide your affections.

COMMENTARY
Did the prolonged decision to nominate Obama as the Democratic candidate hurt the party's chances of winning the election?
BY JOSHUA ANDERSON
If the Democrats lose the election this coming November, they very well might have Senator Clinton to thank for it. By not taking measures to unify the Democratic voting base as early as possible in order to build it, and instead dragging the process out longer than anyone in history, the Democratic party has done itself a massive disservice, one that very well might cost them the election.
The Democrats should have taken notes on how the Republicans were going about things: knowing that their chances were as slim as they've been in eight years, they chose their man, they chose him early and they chose a moderate, someone who could scoop up all the centrist labs and holdout racists and sexists. By not following suit, the Dems have given the GOP plenty of time to consolidate their game plan while minimizing their own opportunity to rally around a candidate in what should be a no-brainer election.
Anderson is a Perry senior in creative riting
BY ANDY GREENHAW
I don't believe political pundits when they say the prolonged decision to nominate Barack Obama will cost him the election.
The presidential election is six months away, which is plenty of time for Obama to unite the Democratic Party - especially if he chooses Clinton as his running mate.
However, making Clinton his vice president will ultimately depend on whether she decides to comply with Obama's decree he made last week that the Democratic National Committee "won't take another dime from Washington lobbyists or special interest PACs." If she doesn't agree to that, then there is no way Obama can put her on the ticket without being labeled a hypocrite and a flip-flopper.
I think his presidency depends on two factors; whether Clinton agrees to stop taking money from registered lobbyists, or whether Clinton crybabies will grow up, stop pouting and show up to vote in November.

BY KELSEY HAYES
Not so fast.
You'd think that the extended, bitter contest between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama would make John McCain's road to the White House a little easier. After all, McCain was the Republican nominee back in February, and could focus on the general election while the Democrats were still mired in primaries.
If the drawn-out Democratic primary season did anything for Barack Obama, it put him up against an opponent who was at least as tough as McCain will be. If Obama could survive the Tony Rezko and Jeremiah Wright scandals against Clinton, he can survive anything against McCain.
Clinton and Obama are also close enough on the issues that most Clinton supporters will probably come around by November. Whatever their dislike for Obama, they won't risk the economy, the Iraq War or Roe v. Wade by voting for McCain or abstaining.

Benedick started his Wakarusa festivities Wednesday night when he arrived at the campgrounds with his friends. Just a short drive from his apartment, he came prepared to camp out for the full four nights. With a night of drinking and fun under his belt, Benedick was ready for the music.
Benedick said that he had been to many concerts and enjoyed music festivals, but he hadn't found anything that is quite like Wakarusa. He said appreciated the uniqueness of the crowd and the excitement of the bands.
"Four days of letting loose, camping and meeting unbelievable people," he said.
As a three-time Wakarusa attendee, Benedick knows the lay of the land. He walked around the festival with ease from the first day while others searched their maps to find the correct stage. To anyone who asks, Benedick offers advice on the best bands to watch. While most people were concerned with the headliners, his must-sees for the weekend included lesser-known bands that played after 2 a.m. He opted for the laser light show of
Sound Tribe Sector 9 rather than attending the piano man, Ben Folds.
Benedick said he loved the live music and the laid-back nature of Wakarusa. He said Wakarusa was a growing festival and it incorporated new things every year. This year, he noticed hip-hop music infused into the festival with bands HipHopotamus and Blackalicious. He said he loved the blending of genres with everything from hip-hop to the blue grass fusion of Calamity Cubes.
By the end of the festival Benedick felt exhausted, but thought the experience was definitely worth it. He hopes to continue coming back to Wakarusa in years to come.

The trio, made up of Davy Knowles, Ross Doyle and Adam Jones, drove for two days to get to Wakarusa but couldn't remember where they started from. Arriving on Thursday night, the band had a show canceled because of the weather.
"It was a little disappointing and sad," Knowles said. "But I suppose it's better than being in the middle of a tornado or hurricane. We don't really get lightning back home. The
extremes are quite exciting."
The band played a set to a full crowd Thursday afternoon and was glad the tour schedule allowed them to spend time at the festival to see other shows. Doyle said he was looking forward to seeing Emmylou Harris and The Flaming Lips. All three band members said they felt overwhelmed by the number of bands they didn't recognize. They said the bands at Wakarusa were much different than British bands.
The Seattle Times compared Knowles' musical spirit to Jimi Hendrix, but Knowles tried to downplay the comparison to the legendary guitarist.

Ashley Zeigenbein, Lebanon, Mo., practices hoop dancing at the Wakarusa Festival. Zeigenbein makes her own hoops in proportion with the size of her body. She said she picked up a lot of moves from watching videos of hoop dancers on YouTube.
"It's very nice to hear, but the thing is not to listen to that," Knowles said. "You kind of do your own thing and try not to let it affect you or intimidate you."
Backdoor Slam said it enjoyed the upbeat vibe of Wakarusa and hoped to come back next year.
Jones said he only had one problem with the festival.
"I haven't seen enough hippies. I can't smell the patchouli or the pot," he said.

It's hard to find a genre for this husband and wife duo of Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel. It took Mates of State a 20-hour drive from Connecticut to arrive Thursday morning. The duo's indie rock sound with pop elements took to the stage at this year's festival Friday evening. Hammel said their marriage added something unique to their music.
"Most people think it's abnormal we spend so much time together," Hammel said. "We actually enjoy each other's company and don't really get sick of each other. That connection shows in our performance."
After performing, the band stayed to watch other acts. Although they were there to enjoy the music,

Flaming Lips lead singer Wayne Coyne sings on stage at the Wakarusa Festival. The band was accompanied by confetti, videos, lights and naked women on the stage.
Hammel also had an agenda to accomplish Friday night.
"I want to see if I can get the bucket off of Buckethead's head," Hammel said. "After that, I want to see Cake go the distance and, of course, watch The Flaming Lips."
Hammel said he loved the idea of sharing the limelight with other bands at a festival rather than having an individual concert. He said he liked the idea of it being a free-for-all where anything could happen
and that he enjoyed the challenge of getting thrown on stage quickly after another band.
Hammel wouldn't classify Wakarusa as
simply a hippie festival. Well, at least not in public.

The Flaming Lips were accompanied on the stage by confetti, videos lights, naked women and teletubbies dancing on stage.
"The thing I love that we have is that we're really available to the audience," Coyne said. "We use the audience. We'll set up stuff and hope it works. If the audience gets into this thing, it's the greatest thing of our lives."
The band also previewed their new movie, "Christmas on Mars," both Friday and Saturday night. The Lips have worked on the movie for the past
seven years and have only previewed it once before. Coyne said the meaning of the movie, like all art, was up to the viewer. To him, the movie is about how to live your life.
"In this life you need two things magic and hard work," Coyne said. "The movie is about the mixture of the two. People need to realize they only have this one life to live and need to live it to the fullest combing these two things."
Coyne said that although he loved smaller festivals such as Wakarusa, the band probably wouldn't be back next year. He said that the performance would lose its magic if the Lips returned every year.

Arnau and her band arrived Friday afternoon and spent the day checking out other bands.
For the first half of her time at the festival, Arnau remained in the crowd simply enjoying the music, especially Leftover Salmon. In spite of realizing that she had access to VIP tents backstage, she said she was grateful for what she had accomplished.
"I've gained a lot from this experience," Arnau said. "I've heard a
lot of bands I never would have if I hadn't come here. Everyone influences in a positive way and it feels good. You have to take a little more of the positive and a little less of negative energy."
Arnau hopes to come back to Lawrence for Wakarusa next year.
"A year from now hopefully I'll be doing the same thing with a little bigger crowd and a new CD behind it," Arnau said. "It just takes stamina. It takes putting it out there and seeing what comes back to you."

ADVICE
Jayhawk dirty talk
Hello! After my girlfriend and I have sex I always fall asleep. It is automatic and uncontrollable, and nothing she does can wake me up. Is this normal? What could I do to stop it? Thanks for your help, Jayhawk Dirty Talk!
— Tootsie Bear
I wouldn't say that automatic and uncontrollable sleeping after sex is normal; especially if the things your girlfriend does to wake you up have no effect. As long as the friction you two create doesn't cause a fire that you need to quickly get away from, I think you are fine. On the other hand, I bet your girlfriend may want something more than an unresponsive body lying next to her after sex.
Lucky for you, I have a few suggestions, as well as some reasons, for your carnal narcoplepsy.
First I suggest some sort of verbal communication during sex. Whispering romantically during sex and being vocal at times of intense pleasure can prove exciting as well as beneficial to combating fatigue. Do anything you can to keep breathing. Sometimes men and women both hold their breath during sex (just like any physically demanding activity), which can cause fatigue. I've heard rumors that holding your breath can give you a more intense orgasm, but I don't put stock into that. Tantric breathing techniques have been around for close to 6000 years for a reason. Plainly said, a lack of air equals a lot of fatigue.
BY PETER SOTO
If you're having sex at night, about the time when you would normally be going to bed, I would
suggest having sex during the day. Your body does get into a rhythm in which it expects to go to bed at a certain time. If you are having sex when you are normally asleep, your body will recognize this and want to sleep soon after. Tiring physical activity during bedtime will help lead you to dream land and away from your wide-awake girlfriend. Try having sex in the morning after you wake up and are already well-rested.
More often than not, you are probably having sex in a bed or some other place where you normally sleep. Your brain associates your bed with being asleep, not being awake. I suggest having sex in places that aren't conducive to sleeping such as the kitchen and the shower. This way when you orgasm you won't have a place to fall asleep. Wait! You may not want to try this in a place that has a lot of potentially dangerous objects. If you really do fall asleep automatically and uncontrollably, forking in the kitchen may be a bad idea with all of those knives and other pointy utensils around.
Lawrence Urologist Doug Klingler, M.D., has some suggestions as well. Dr. Klingler suggests not eating a big dinner ahead of time, having sex during the day time and
consuming caffeine beforehand.
"Obviously he could try taking some stimulants. I think just anecdotally, most guys comment that they get very tired after intercourse," Dr.Klingler said. "You know, the orgasm is up here (points to his head), sleep center's up here (points to his head again). The orgasm is mediated. You know, it's a reflex arc. You hit a certain stage, you get the deposition of the ejaculate into the prostate and you get the rhythmic contractions of the muscles which ejaculate it out. That's all caused by up here (points to head.) The same thing with sleep. There are lots of neurotransmitters and all sorts of things going on in the head. If you look in the movies, anywhere else, kind of the classic is guys turn over and go to sleep and I think there's probably something to that."
There are other obvious, things you can do in addition to the above advice.
During sex you could try making her do all of the work, avoid alcohol and drink coffee or some other caffeinated beverage before and after, but not during sex. That could be messy.
If none of this works, just tell your girlfriend that your sleepiness is nature taking its course. Tell her that she should take advantage of this cuddling opportunity...until you wake up and give her what she's really waiting for.

Ramone goes from punk to Uncle Monk
WAKARUSA
DONALD J. WEBB
Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN
Tommy Ramone and Claudia Tienan of Uncle Monk play for a small crowd at the Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival.
BY BRYAN CISLER bcisler@kansan.com
Tommy Ramone looked off the stage at the Wakarusa Festival and could only see a couple dozen fans. Life has changed a lot for the 56-yearold musician since his days as the coproducer and the former drummer of the band The Ramones, a group that helped revolutionize rock 'n' roll in the 1970s. Tommy, along with band member Claudia Tienan, has formed the band Uncle Monk. Ramone has gone away from the rock style that made his former band famous, and has turned to bluegrass. A style that Ramone said had a growing future in the music business.
"I think [bluegrass] is something people need to discover, because I think it is some of the hippest music out there," Ramone said.
Even though Uncle Monk may never have books written about it, or be listed as one of the top 100 artists of all-time by Rolling Stone Magazine as The Ramones were, Tommy said he was happy to play a type of music that he loves. When Tommy was just a child, his older brother would come home with bluegrass records and it sparked Tommy's interest. It wasn't until 15 years ago, when Tommy bought a banjo, that he seriously thought about changing his style to bluegrass.
"I was having such a great time
that we started dropping the electric instruments at the time and started getting into acoustic" Tommy said.
Uncle Monk already has one album out and has another planned for release next year. Still, as Tommy's new band gains fans, some can't help but remember him for his role with The Ramones. The New York-based band toured for more than 22 years but disbanded in 1996. Tommy is the last surviving original member from the band.
John Reemer traveled up from Warrensburg, Missouri to hear Uncle Monk at Wakarusa.
"He has a really good acoustic sound and he really plays from his heart," Reemer said.
Ramone realizes that music has changed quite a bit since he began his music career more than 40 years ago.
"There is so many new opportunities now that we didn't have in the past like the internet," Ramone said.
Uncle Monk will be back in Kansas when it plays at the Mountain Music Shoppe in Shawnee on June 17. The band has only eight more appearances planned for the summer, a far less hectic schedule compared to Tommy's days with The Ramones.
"The Ramones was rewarding but it was very stressful and very different," Tommy said. "What we are doing here is more of a relaxed thing."

'Nooks and Crannies Historic Pioneer Cemetary
JIM DENNIS
MARRIED AUGUST 19, 1870 AND JULY 26, 1875
WAS BORN IN NEW YORK CITY TO MARY E. (FREESON) DENNIS
AND JIM DENNIS
DECEASED AT AGE 85
"Really?" would likely be the response if you were tell a student that there's a cemetary on campus. Historic Pioneer Cemetery sits on West Campus, across the street from the Kansas University Endowment Association. Opened in 1854 as Oread Cemetary, the small burial ground is the final resting place of civil war heroes, former University faculty and four victims of Quantrill's massacre. Eighteen small white headstones mark the graves of members of the 13th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, who died of typhoid in 1862. The Kansas University Endowment Association took ownership of the cemetary in 1953 and the cemetary reopened in 1968. People are still being buried at the cemetary.

DIY: Your own bar in 10 steps
Planning a barbeque or party this summer? Here are 10 steps you need to take to prepare a small home bar. Impress your guests with a variety of drinks!
1. Beer: Refrigerate them at least three hours before the party.
2. Wine and Champagne: Don't forget to prepare with a corkscrew and wine glasses.
3. Liquor: That includes whisky, vodka, gin, rum and tequila. If you want to add a variety to your drinks, try Campari, Bailey's and Creme de cassis, which will make a great cocktail.
4. Ice and Bottled Water: Serve them with hard liquor or cocktails.
5. Lemons and Limes: Put squeezed juice into a drink. Lemons and limes can be used toppings of cocktails, too.
6. A Shaker and Swizzle Sticks: A shaker is convenient when you want to mix more than two ingredients and cool them with ice quickly.
7. Sodas and Fruit Juice: Sodas include tonic water, ginger ale and cola. Orange juice, grapefruit juice and pineapple juice go with many hard liquors.
8. Shot Glasses and Cocktail Glasses: Gather a variety of glasses for different drinks.
9. Toppings: Olives, maraschino cherries, peppermint and fresh fruits can be good toppings. You can add olive juice to drinks.
10. Snacks: Prepare finger food like cheese, olives, nuts and salsa and chips. Don't forget napkins!

Cook: Health-conscious beef dish for 2
— Sachiko Miyakawa
QUINOA AND BEEF DISH
Hamilton Suh, 20, offers this inexpensive, delectable dish for the health-conscious. And he would know. Suh works at Local Burger, 711 Vermont St., a restaurant that focuses on preparing healthier food with no additives or preservatives.
INGREDIENTS 1 box of quinoa
1 lb. beef or elk meat Water Raw carrots or broccoli
Pour the box of quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) into a rice cooker. For every cup of quinoa, add two cups of water. Leave in rice cooker for about 15 minutes.
Why use quinoa?
Believe it or not, the small grain contains more protein than any other grain and more calcium than milk.
"It's very,very healthy,but not that many people know about it," Suh said.
Next, put the meat into a pan and keep an eye on it, mixing it around until browned.
Suh purchases his meat at Local Burger, where it is sold by the pound. He said he bought either beef or elk meat and put the meat he didn't use in the refrigerator for next time.
"The meats that come from here I know are straight from the farms."
Suh said. "They're not going to have any added hormones."
Once browned, mix the meat on a plate with the cooked quinoa. You can add any vegetables to your liking. Suh usually cuts up raw carrots or broccoli.
Now, you have a meal that can serve two people.
"It does the trick," Suh said. "It's not really culinary, but it's healthy, it fills me up and it's tasty."
— Jesse Temple
BRIEF
Supermarkets, restaurants voluntarily pull tomatoes
CHICAGO — Federal officials hunted for the source of a 16-state salmonella outbreak linked to three types of raw tomatoes, while the list of supermarkets and restaurants yanking those varieties from shelves and dishes grew.
McDonald's, Wal-Mart, Burger King, Kroger, Outback Steakhouse and Taco Bell were among the companies that voluntarily withdrew tomatoes.

Books: 'America' doesn't live up to humor of its author
Stephen Colbert is one of the best political commentators on television. He comes across as intelligent, articulate and very, very funny. I am convinced he is a genius, and will be my future boyfriend.
"I am America (And So Can out)," however, is not quite as humorous as his show, The Colbert report.
While the subject material, pictures and historical anecdotes are musing, this book is best for bathroom reading, not the coffee table.
Each chapter starts out promising enough, like "Sex and Dating: 001 abstinence positions", but quickly become boring rants that aren't all that interesting.
If you want a humorous, easy-to-read diatribе on American life, try David Sedaris. He doesn't have a T.V. show, but at least his books are worth reading.

Movies: 'Zohan' too messy with jokes, delivery
"You Don't Mess With the Zohan" is a comedy that uses the Palestinian-Iraeli conflict as a backdrop. It's also a movie in which the main recurring joke is the main character's penchant for pleasing (much) older women.
If those two themes don't seem to mix, it's because they don't.
In his latest foray into acting and scriptwriting, Adam Sandler teams up with big-name funnymen Robert Smigel (Saturday Night Live) and Judd Apatow (Knocked Up). Despite its wealth of writing talent, the film veers too quickly from weighty issues to silly gags.
Sandler is frequently funny as Zohan, an Israeli soldier who comes to America to cut and style hair only to have his past catch up with him. The stunning Emmanuelle Chriqui (Entourage) stands out as Dalia, Zohan's main love interest. The celebrity cameos are frequent throughout, with Mariah Carey, Chris Rock and John McEnroe making appearances.
All the star-power in the world can't save "You Don't Mess With the Zohan" from itself. The film can't decide between delivering a

Whereas pools of water can collect on all plastic floaties and turn pockets of water into oil hot tubs, the net chair allows a filtering of pool water. The pool chair is not awkward to get in and out of. You also have the opportunity to get an even tan, well on your front side at least.

Fitness: Stretch for daily health
EQUIPMENT VIEWING
Melissa Caywood, physical therapist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that stretching was beneficial before doing any sort of physical activity, such as gardening, washing a car or other recreational activities.
"Stretching increases blood flow, increases length and maintains your mobility," Caywood said.
Chances are, if you camped out at the Wakarusa festival, you didn't get in a good workout. However, no matter where you are or how little time you have, you can do an exercises that improves your body's health every day: stretch.
"I tell my patients to stretch in the morning after they get out of bed" Whitlock said. "They usually feel better afterward."
Angela Whitlock, physical therapy assistant at Therapy Works PA, 1112 W. 6th St., said stretching kept your muscles elongated so joints don't get stiff, which could limit your range of motion. Even if you're not exercising, Whitlock said stretching was good for your body because it keeps the body's muscles and joints from tightening up and becoming sore.
was extremely important before and after the workout to decrease the risk of injury.
If you are able to get in a good workout, Whitlock said stretching
"If you stretch with the exercises you do it will help decrease the risk of tearing the muscles," she said. "If you exercise with tight muscles, you could really hurt yourself."

A true classic, even used by my own grandmother in her family "pond." While the rubber tire has been traded for a more colorful plastic creation, the doughnut is great if you want to feel like you're standing in the pool. It also makes a great conversation-starter for why you are sunburned from the shoulders up only.
Kaitlyn Weatherford, Coppell, Texas, senior, stretches after she exercises. "I don't want my muscles to get stiff or cramped," she said.
Music: Architects need to rebuild
Since the mid-'90s, the Architects have made albums fans love and ventured on tour on a bus of rock and soul. It's only gotten better as they continue to pump out albums. But this recent album, released this year, fell off the bus of rock, soul and possibly thrill.
D
The Phillip brothers, three of the four band members, don't bring much to the table in the album "Vice." The songs have a similar sounds in the first few tracks, "Cold Hard Fact," "Hard Times" and "Continental." After the first three tracks I expected to hear the same opening sound, and I wasn't disappointed.
In songs "Pills" and "Drop in the Bottle," the lyrics and hooks were catchy and could surely get a crowd hyped, but those were the only songs I liked.
3. The Inflatable Lounge
In the slower songs like "Oklahoma," the lyrics and music were just as boring as the title.
Overall, this album was quite boring. The production was boring and the songs lacked energy that they are known for. In the words of Architect's song "Pills," "This isn't what I asked for, this is what I get."
If your lungs are up for the battle, this "bed" takes the pool chair from the concrete to the pool. It is more of a struggle to get onto, especially if your body has been thoroughly dowsed in tanning oil, but it provides entertainment for fellow pool-goers to see you struggle into a comfortable position.

Weekend Project: Healthy herb garden
1. 2.
A herb garden is an easy, fun and healthy way of passing time this summer. The herbs could be used in many dishes and the summer weather helped the growth of the plants.
Rebekah Scaperlanda/KANSAN
Whether you're Rachel Ray or Chef Boyardee, fresh ingredients can liven up any meal. A healthy, easy and fun way to spruce up food during the summertime is by having your own herb garden. The easiest and most practical summer herbs for cooking are rosemary, oregano and basil. These herbs are versatile and can be used in many dishes.
- You can find these herbs at any grocery store that sells flowers, such as Hy-Vee or Dillons. If you want more selection, visit Home Depot or a garden supply center nursery, such as Earl May Nursery & Garden Center, 3200 Iowa St.
— Decide whether you want to grow herbs separately or all together. If you want an herb to have its own pot, buy smaller pots to separate your herbs. If you want to put multiple herbs together, buy a larger pot. Make sure to also buy a potting soil with fertilizer mixed in, such as Miracle-Gro. If you're afraid of getting a green
thumb, purchase a garden spade or gloves.
If the pot you bought has holes in the bottom, you will need to put down a layer of rocks or pieces from a broken terracotta pot. This allows for draining through the pot without soil leakage.
Next, fill the pot about halfway with soil over the rocks. Your herb should come in a plastic pot. Take the herb out of the pot while not tearing the roots. With the root ball in tact, place the plant in middle of your new pot.
Water the plant daily and enjoy watching your herbs grow.
Once the plant is in the new pot, take more soil and fill the gaps surrounding the herb with soil so the dirt is level. Water your plant right away, allowing the soil to settle. Once it settles, add more soil and place it in a sunny location. If this is an indoor plant, place on a windowsill. If your herb prefers an outdoor location, the ideal spot would be a sunny porch that is guarded by the wind.
Once they are a decent size, pick the herbs, wash them and put them on your food for a tasty treat.
"I like having fresh herbs to use in the kitchen," Kristen Kearney, 2008 graduate, said. "It's fun and relaxing. Fresh grown herbs are
cheaper, taste better and are readily available. It's ideal for spring and summer because the weather, the plants are sure to get a lot of sun."

Food: Search for perfect burgerends at Johnny's
I spent four years in Lawrence searching for the best cheeseburger in town. My 1,461-day experiment returned no conclusive results. Then I went to Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. 2nd St., and I found what I was looking for: Lawrence's best cheeseburger.
I admit I was not thrilled about ordering something new: It's difficult to refrain from ordering Johnny's pizza. I gave in. The waitress, who besides being competent was extremely friendly, took our orders and I asked for a cheeseburger with American cheese and French fries.
I frequented Johnny's during my time as a KU student, but I never ordered anything besides pizza, which is also fantastic by the way.
Twenty minutes later the waitress presented me with a thick, juicy cheeseburger that had deliciousness dripping from the side the bun. I hadn't even taken a bite and I knew I was in for a treat.
This weekend my friend and I went to Johnny's for lunch and he promised the cheeseburger would not let me down.
Just as I expected, the burger was perfect. It tasted so good I almost did not use ketchup, which is my favorite condiment and a necessity for all cheeseburgers.
I cleaned my plate and could not have been more satisfied. Owner Rick Renfro can now boast that his restaurant serves the best pizza and cheese-burgers in town.

Women's soccer team explores culture of Brazil
BY JESSE TEMPLE jtemple@kansan.com
The women's soccer team has returned from a nine-day tour of Brazil, where the team played four exhibition games against Brazilian teams.
The Jayhawks traveled to the country where soccer is a lifestyle from May 21 to May 29.
"That's all we saw over there were people playing soccer games, whether it was on the beach at night, on cement or on little grass fields," Sara Rogers, Overland Park senior, said. "I don't think we ever saw a basketball court. It was all soccer."
Under NCAA rules, college teams can leave the country once every four years to take part in exhibition games. KU coach Mark Francis decided to take full advantage of that opportunity this year to bond as a team.
"Just for our girls to be exposed to that kind of competition was great," said Francis, who mentioned that some of the opposing players were members of the Brazilian women's national team. "Two of the four teams that we played — we will never play a team in college better than those teams."
Kansas finished the trip 2-2, defeating the University of Sao Paulo and Corinthians, a soccer club in Sao Paulo.
Midfielder Missy Geha, Overland Park senior, said her team's final two exhibition games were televised nationally on the country's version of ESPN. Soccer, particularly at the college level in the United States, typically doesn't appear on television unless two teams are competing for a national championship.
"Brazil is like the soccer Mecca of the world," Geha said. "It really is. The amount of people that they get out to their soccer games is ridiculous."
The team didn't just focus on soccer the entire trip, though.
Among the highlights of the trip was a tour of the mountains, white water rafting and living the night life of Sao Paulo.
Both Rogers and Geha spoke of the cultural differences they experienced while in Brazil. Cars were
smaller, houses virtually nonexistent and the food was unusual.
"They eat chicken hearts," Geha said. "The thought of eating a chicken heart was absolutely disgusting."
The team also had to overcome the language barrier. In Brazil, the native language is Portuguese, so many players used hand gestures to communicate with the locals. The only word many players knew was "obrigada," which means "thank you."
In the end, Rogers said the trip split up about 50/50 between soccer and fun in the sun.
"When we were playing, we were very serious about it," she said. "But when we weren't on the field, we had tons of fun and got to see tons of things. I think it was a good balance."
KU
For Geha, Brazil, with its sandy beaches and rich soccer tradition, left a lasting impression.
"I will never get that opportunity ever again," Geha said. "Being able to experience the soccer culture over there was the best thing ever, and I got to do it with all my friends. So that was amazing."

Five selected for MLB Draft
ckeefer@kansan.com
BY CASE KEEFER
Five Kansas baseball players were selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft last Friday.
Junior pitcher Sam Freeman was walking his dog when his phone rang with the news
"I got a call from one of my friends telling me I got drafted," Freeman said. "It was kind of surprising. It felt good, like a relief."
The St.Louis Cardinals picked
"I got a call from one of my friends telling me I got drafted. It was kind of surprising. It felt good, like a relief."
"I've always been a Giants fan," Ryne Price said. "Then talking with them the last couple of years, that's the organization I always wanted to get into."
The MLB Draft isn't like
Freeman in the 32nd round of the draft, making him the 965th player selected overall. He was the first of five Jayhawks to be drafted Friday.
SAM FREEMAN Junior pitcher
Senior outfielder Ryne Price, junior pitcher Nick Czyz, senior pitcher Andres Esquibel and senior infielder Erik Morrison rounded out the list of Kansas players headed to the majors.
Price, who was the second Jayhawk taken, was starting to wonder whether he would be drafted at all as he worked at a youth baseball camp Friday afternoon. But then Price received a phone call. It was his younger brother and fellow Kansas baseball player Robby Price who told Ryne that the San Francisco Giants had selected him in the 33rd round.

the NBA and NFL Drafts, where most of the players picked start playing for the team immediately. Players taken in
the baseball draft play for a team's organization, usually in the minor leagues. After they prove themselves, they have an opportunity to move up to the major league.
Ryne Price said part of the reason he was excited to play for the Giants organization was because he felt the team gave him a good opportunity to move up the organizational ladder. He left Lawrence last weekend for Phoenix, where he will participate in training camp.

Now that his college eligibility has run out, Morrison said he was excited about chasing his dream of playing baseball for a living.
"I get to prolong my career in baseball," Morrison said. "You never want to see something come to an end after you've worked at it for the last 16 years of your life."
Freeman and Nick Czyz, who was picked in the 35th round by the Seattle Mariners, were both juniors so they could chose to either sign a contract and start their professional career or return to Kansas. Freeman said he would not return to Kansas next year. Czyz could not be reached for comment.
Two high school seniors who comitted to Kansas for next season were also drafted. Infielder Zac Elgie went in the 12th round to the Oakland Athletics and pitcher Lee Ridenhour went in the 31st round to the Minnesota Twins.

LOS ANGELES — Frequent flyers, the Los Angeles Lakers were allowed an unlimited number of carry-on items for their trip home.
CELTICS CELTICS NBA
It remains to be seen if any of them contained momentum.
After losing two games in Boston, the Lakers returned to California on Monday in a hole as deep as Topanga Canyon. Over 96 minutes, they have looked nothing like the team which pulverized Denver, pushed aside Utah and swatted away San Antonio with ease on the way to winning the Western Conference title.
With the exception of an eight-minute stretch at the end of Game 2, Kobe Bryant and his crew have looked sickly in the finals.
However, there's no truth to the rumor they were taken from their charter plane at LAX in Paul Pierce's infamous wheelchair.
Though down 0-2, and facing history along with the league's toughest defense, the Lakers felt good about their comeback — they whacked a 24-point deficit to two over the final 7:55 — and are confident they can swing the series at the Staples Center in Game on Tuesday night.
They are 8-0 in the postseason there and unbeaten in 14 home games since March 28.

Jayhawks to play baseball in the major leagues
T5P
5. TRAVIS METCALF YEARS AT KANSAS:
2002-2004
The third baseman is playing for the Texas Rangers' Triple-A squad, the Oklahoma RedHawks. At only 25 years old, Metcalf could have a long Major League career ahead of him. He batted for a .255 average and belted five homeruns for the Rangers last season.
4. STEVE JELTZ YEARS AT KANSAS: 1978-1980
Jeltz, who was born in Paris, was the best Major League Baseball player ever from France. He had nearly 1,000 more at-bats than any other French major leaguers. Although he only held a .210 career batting average, he served as a quality utility infielder for the Philadelphia Phillies and Kansas City Royals.
3. STEVE RENKO YEARS AT KANSAS: 1964-1965
Renko played for seven different teams during his 14-year career as a starting pitcher in the majors. His best year came in 1973 as a Montreal
Expo. Renko held a 2.81 earned run average that season while striking out 164 batters.
2. CHUCK DOBSON YEARS AT KANSAS:
1964
Dobson quickly worked his way up to the majors and made his debut for the Kansas City Athletics two years after leaving Kansas. He played for the Athletics organization for seven years before ending his career with the California Angels. Dobson recorded a career-year in 1970 when he led the league in shutouts with five and games started with 40.
1. BOB ALLISON YEARS AT KANSAS:
1954
Allison combined power and speed in his 12-year career to become a three-time All-Star. He was the American League Rookie of the Year in 1959 when he hit 30 home runs and stole 13 bases for the Washington Senators. He went on to play 10 seasons with the Minnesota Twins where he drove in as many as 105 runs in one season.

Lincoln, Neb. Zlata Tarasova, Togliatta, Russia junior, was forced to wait an extra few days for the NCAA to make its at-large announcements before she qualified in the hammer throw, giving Kansas double digits.
The team arrived in Des Moines, Iowa, on Monday to prepare for its final meet of the season. Head coach Stanley Redwine said he wasn't surprised by the 10 athletes that qualified for the championships.
"I believe that the athletes that have put the work and time in to get there are there," Redwine said. "I see the work they're doing on a daily basis to get there. You always

event. Manning will compete in the long jump and the triple jump, an event she earned All-American honors last year. Anderson will compete in the 100-meter dash and the 200.
Kokhanovski said a qualifying throw today of about 225 feet should put Agafonov into the finals on Friday, where he would need a toss of 235 to 240 feet to win.
Last year she earned All-American honors by finishing as one of the top eight American athletes in an event at the outdoor championships. Brown broke the school record in the 400-meter hurdles at last year's championships with a time of 57.15 seconds.
Ashley Brown, Overton, Neb., senior, qualified in the 400-meter hurdles.
Brown said she wasn't feeling pressure about duplicating her All-American feat this year.
"It's not so much pressure," she said. "It's the expectation of where I want to be. I have no doubt with my training regimen that I can be there. My goal is to break 57, and I think if I run that time, it will put me at
"He's prepared for everything," Kokhanovski said. "If it works out, the strongest throw is going to win. And why not Egor? He has as much chance as those two guys. Egor is very competitive."
On the men's side, Egor Agafonov, Togliatta, Russia senior, Jordan Scott, Watkinsville, Ga., sophomore, and Julius Jiles, Kansas City, Mo., senior, advanced to the championship. Agafonov and Scott did so by winning the Midwest Regional in the hammer throw and pole vault. Agafonov set a meet record in the hammer throw for the third consecutive year with a toss of 223 and Scott's pole vault carried feet 1 inch. Jiles qualified in the 0-meter hurdles, finishing second regionals in 13.75 seconds.
Agafonov's throwing coach, Andy Kokhanovski, said the hammer throw title likely would come down to Agafonov, Cory Martin or Jacob Dunkleberger, both of whom are from Auburn University.

Man orders pet python to attack police, fails
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) Police in Bridgeport, Conn., said they arrested a man after he ordered his pet to attack two officers. Lucky for them, 9-foot-long pythons aren't very obedient.
Police said 21-year-old Victor Rodriguez was charged with threatening officers and disorderly conduct after Monday's incident. No one was hurt. —Associated Press

Board approves tuition increase,fixed compact
BY DEEPA SAMPAT
dsampat@kansan.com
The Board of Regents approved a 6 percent increase in standard tuition at the University of Kansas last Thursday. The board also approved extending a fixed compact tuition rate to incoming freshmen.
The tuition compact guarantees students won't see an increase in tuition for four years. Because the tuition compact is front-end loaded, the compounded increase is 6 percent for the first year and 7 percent for subsequent years, up to four years.
"Without front-end loading, we wouldn't be able to sustain the compact," Chancellor Richard Hemenway said. "We take on great risks when we take on the compact. The increase is to make sure it was locked in and ensure no future increases."
Provost Richard Lariviere said the University planned to extend the tuition compact to every incoming freshman class.
"We can only do so if it's economically feasible," he said. "It's really tough to predict the state of the economy or funding from the legislature."
Lynn Britz, director of University communications, said the tuition compact provided extra incentive for students to complete an undergraduate degree in four years. If students don't finish in four, they must pay the
standard tuition rate.
"It is like a financial reward to finish in four years,"Bretz said.
Assuming a current resident freshman needed an extra year to graduate, and assuming a 6 percent increase in tuition to the standard rate every year, that student would pay an increase of about $472 more than their original compact rate, per semester. The amount is based on a 15 credit hour semester.
All non-compact paying students (juniors, seniors, transfer students and graduate students) will see a 6 percent increase in tuition. That means resident undergraduates will pay an additional $175.50 per semester, assuming 15 credit hours. Out-of-state undergrads will pay an additional $460.50 per semester.
"Tuition at KU has increased in the past five years, but it is still average or below average when compared to other universities," Hemenway said. "We are right in the middle of the Big 12, and KU's tuition at the national level is quite low."
The regents had mixed feelings about the tuition increases. Regent Gary Sherrer voted against all tuition and fee increases at the University. Sherrer said he believed the state hadn't provided enough funding, but parents and students shouldn't have to feel the burden of increased costs.
Larviere said he sympathized
with Sherrer's opinions.
"I think he's worried we are pricing ourselves so that people will not be able to come to the University," Lariviere said. "I agree it would be great if increases were zero, but we will not accept delivering an inferior education to students."
"At what point do we say enough is enough?" she said, referring to the financial burdens placed on students
Regent Juana Perkins said she thought the state had done a good job of providing funding, but it still wasn't a sufficient amount.
and parents.
Regent chairwoman Christine Downey-Schmidt said she wasn't willing to let the legislature off the hook from not providing enough funding by increasing tuition every year. However, she said ultimately the board and University administrators were responsible for ensuring students receive a high quality education.
"I'm not interested in pricing people out of college, but I'll be darned if I'll settle for a lesser quality education so everyone can afford it," Downey-Schmidt said. "I'm not willing to
short change this system. I'm not willing to settle for pretty good."
Despite the tuition increases, Hemenway said that the University's tuition rate put it at a disadvantage when competing with other universities. However, he said the 6 percent cap on tuition increases by the regents was a good guideline.
In pain? Stressed out? We can help!
"It is appropriate we tighten our belt and recognize the condition of the state and national economy" he said.

Center expands to meet child care demands
SACHIKO MIYAKAWA
smiyakawa@kansan.com
Families on the waiting list at the University's Hilltop Child Development Center might soon be in luck. This fall, three new classrooms will be open at the center, with two more additional classrooms opening next summer to meet the demand for child care.
The extra classrooms this fall will allow the enrollment of an additional 38 children for 1- to 2-year-olds. Pat Pisani, executive director of the center, said she planned to hire eight more full-time employees and 10 to 15 part-time employees, including student-hourly employees.
"It allows us to get more people off the waiting list so that the students can go to class and do their work that
they have to do toward their degrees." Pisani said.
She said students accounted for more than 55 percent of the parents at Hilltop.
Ophra Leyser-Whalen, DeKalb Ill., graduate student, has a 2-year-old son. Her husband is also a graduate student at the University. She said they chose Hilltop because of its reputation, location and the fee system based on families incomes.
She said she applied for the center as soon as her son was born. She waited for 18 months until the center allowed his admission.
Pisani said usually 300 to 350 children were on the waiting list to get into Hilltop, but the center gave priority to student families. She said the center's convenient location and benefits, including tuition subsidies and
sliding fee scales for lower income students, attracted many parents.
"The need continues to grow," she said. "There are more staff and faculty coming who have young children and more students going to school as nontraditional students."
Michael Kennedy, Syracuse, N.Y., graduate student, said child care of his daughter was an immediate concern for him and his wife when he decided to attend the University. Their 3-year-old daughter got into Hilltop two weeks ago after a year of waiting.

"She comes home happy every day," Kennedy said. "I think it's because of its teaching environment."
He said he liked Hilltop's education, which focuses on children's positive behaviors. He said the long wait was understandable, considering the quality of its programs.

Construction for the expansion at the Hilltop Child Development Center is expected to be completed by July 15. It will accommodate 10 additional toddlers and 14 kindergarten students.

MARRIAGE
Campus icon finds love on campus with student
BY BRYAN CISLER
bcisler@kansan.com
Sorry ladies, but one of Lawrence's most famous bachelors will soon be off the market. Jimmy Neal — otherwise known as "White Owl" — will be getting married to Julia Lee, 22-year-old Lawrence junior, at the end of the summer.
The two have only known each other a little more than a month but White Owl feels they were destined
The 61-year-old White Owl, who said another of his nicknames was Saul Tucker, said he came to Lawrence a year ago to do a research project on Agent Orange but soon became one of the faces of the University as his dancing and yelling at KU games got the attention of fans and television cameras alike. It wasn't until recently though that White Owl said that he fell in love.
White Owl's prayers were answered. The next day, White Owl was a guest speaker in Julia's American

Jimmy Neal, more frequently known as "White Owl," and Julia Lee, Lawrence junior, have announced their engagement. They plan to wed in late July or August.
"You are the first person to tell me that."
White Owl remembered saying.
The two became inseparable after that, starting off as friends but
began spending more and more time together.

"After a little while I began to think, 'I want to be with this guy in heaven! That is when we began to talk about marriage,' Julia said.
Shortly after their conversation, White Owl proposed to her in front of his apartment. While some people have been happy for the couple, others have had concerns. Julia said
a few of her friends didn't understand how she could get married so fast to a man who is almost 40 years older than her, and Julia was still trying to
"I think this marriage will be good for him," White Owl's son Ian said. "He needs that in his life."
White Owl said he thought his relationship with Julia will last unlike his previous marriages.
"Her love for me is real," White Owl said, "In previous marriages I would see the reflection of my love, not their love."
@KANSAN.COM
For White Owl, this will be the third time the Vietnam veteran has been married. His first marriage lasted nine years and his second lasted 14 years. White Owl had a son with each wife.

White Owl said the couple didn't
plan to be sexually active until after they were married.
"If I were to give in to my body, I would not be honoring her or God," White Owl said.
They plan to get married before the summer is over at Loose Park in Kansas City, Mo. The couple said everybody is invited to the wedding.
White Owl said even though he was settling down he still expected to go to the football and basketball games next season. He even plans to form a band with Julia and perform at the Wakarusa Festival next year.
"I have been without a woman for ten years, waiting for what God will bring me," White Owl said.

THIS WEEK IN NEWS Nothing to do but wait as floodwaters receed
Iowa's Cedar River is slowly receding but Cedar Rapids will remain flooded for days.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Barrels float down the Cedar River in downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Monday. The deluge across so much of Iowa hasn't just knocked out drinking water, destroyed homes and wrecked lives. It's spreading a noxious brew of sewage, chemicals and gasoline with the potential to worsen the misery of anyone who wades into it.
As the record flooding continues across Iowa toward the Mississippi River, the answer officials say, is get out of the way and wait.
Floodwaters were receding Saturday in Cedar Rapids after swamping 1,300 city blocks, forcing 24,000 evacuations and nearly crippling the water supply for the state's second largest city. But as the Cedar retreated, waters in Iowa City had already invaded parts of the University of Iowa campus.
'Meet the Press' newsman dies, Bush offers sympathy
Tim Rusert, moderator of NBC's "Meet the Press,"died suddenly Friday while preparing for his weekly broadcast. The network's Washington bureau chief was 58.
President Bush, informed of Russert's death while at dinner in Paris, issued a statement of condolence that praised the NBC newsman as "an institution in both news and politics for more than two decades. Tim was a tough and hardworking newsman. He was always well-informed and thorough in his interviews. And he was as gregarious off the set as he was prepared on it."
Afghan president threatens to send troops to Pakistan
Afghan President Hamid Karzai threatened Sunday to send Afghan troops across the border to fight militants in Pakistan, a forceful warning to insurgents and the Pakistani government that his country is fed up with cross-
border attacks.
Karzai said Afghanistan has the right to self defense, and because militants cross over from Pakistan "to come and kill Afghan and kill coalition troops, it exactly gives us the right to do the same."
Speaking at a Sunday news conference, Karzai warned Pakistan-based Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud that Afghan forces would target him on his home turf.
"Baitullah Mehsud should know that we will go after him now and hit him in his house," Karzai said.
Mild weather helps crew contain California wildfires
Mild weather on Saturday gave fire crews hope that they could rein in a series of Northern California wildfires that have destroyed dozens of homes and forced thousands of residents to evacuate.
Thousands of people stayed away from their homes in the Butte County town of Paradise, but some were allowed to return Saturday to assess damage. At least 74 homes were destroyed and another 20 were damaged in the Paradise area, about 90 miles north of Sacramento.
The priority for the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection shifted to assessing damage from the blaze that scorched about 36 square miles said Cal Fire spokesman Joshpea White. The blaze was 45 percent contained after a blustery couple of days.
3 more bodies recovered after earthquake in Japan
Soldiers fought their way through a torrent of mud and rocks at a hot spring Sunday, where several people were believed buried after a magnitude 7.2-earthquake hit the mountains of northern Japan, killing at least seven and injuring more than 200.
Officials said the bodies of three of seven people believed buried at the hot spring were recovered Sunday, bringing the tally of dead to nine.
The seven at the Komanoyu hot spring were believed buried when the side of a hill came crashing down. The resort is located in a heavily forested mountainous area outside the small city of Kurihara, one and more than 100 people remained stranded in the region.

District Attorney files to charge teen as an adult
BY CHRISTINE D'AMICO
Klundt occupied the residence with his brother, who was not home at the time of the murder.
cdamico@kansan.com
The Douglas County District Attorney has filed motions to charge Kellam D. Jones, 16, as an adult.
In the early hours of June 7, Jones and a friend, Gage Hauk, 18, McLouth, were allegedly in the middle of robbing Ronald Klundt, 20, Lawrence, when Klundt fired a shot killing Hauk. Jones then reportedly fatally shot Klundt.
Police were called to the scene after receiving reports of gunshots in the area. After arriving they found Hauk and Klundt dead.
After a thorough investigation, Jones was taken into custody two days after the alleged incident. He is currently being held in the Douglas County Juvenile Detention Center.
The District Attorney is declining to talk about Jones' case based on his age. The only comment was that motions have been filed to charge Jones as an adult.
At Jones' initial hearing last Tuesday, District Judge Peggy Kittel
Under Kansas statutes, a juvenile can be charged as an adult if the offender is aged 14 to 17 at the time of the offense.
deemed Jones a danger to society.
Jones is facing two counts of first-degree murder along with attempted robbery. Although there is no evidence to conclude that Jones shot Hauk, Jones can still be charged with Hauk's murder because it took place while he allegedly was in the process of committing a felony.
Under Kansas statutes, a juvenile can be charged as an adult if the offender is aged 14 to 17 at the time of the offense. The juvenile can also be tried as an adult if it would qualify as a person felony, if the offense was committed while in possession of a firearm or the offender was being charged with more than one offense.

STUDY ABROAD
Weak dollar affects program
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
The KU Study Abroad program is not growing as quickly as it used to, partly because of the weak U.S. dollar, which has made necessities such as food and transportation more expensive for students.
Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco, director of the Office of Study Abroad, said the weak dollar had caused a noticeable decline in study abroad interest.
"Summer 2008 enrollment is up just 0.6 percent over summer 2007 Normally, we would expect a greater increase."
According to the KU Office of Study Abroad, participation in the program grew at an average of 8 percent each year from 2004 to 2007.
While the basic cost of enrollment in study abroad programs has not changed drastically, the dollar's weak exchange rate has raised the cost of overseas goods in comparison to domestic items. As of Monday, one euro was worth $1.56, meaning the
dollar has depreciated by about 20 cents in the past year.
Jordan Kallas, a 2008 graduate who studied abroad in Australia last year, said the cost of food made his trip more expensive than expected.
"I'm still recovering from the trip, and it was a year ago," Kallas said.
John Keating, professor of economics, said that the exchange rate usually levels out in the long-run, but could be unpredictable in the near future — a bad sign for students planning未来 or fall travel.

"When the value of the dollar goes down your dollars aren't going to buy as much foreign currency", Keating said. "The consequence is a much bigger cost of living. It's got to be painful to go overseas right now."
In a national poll conducted last spring by the Institute of International Education, 43 percent of students said they had changed their travel plans because of the weakening dollar. Institute president Allen Goodman said studying abroad could be affordable if students altered their approach.
"Students should look for destinations like India or Southeast Asia, where their dollar will go further," Goodman said. "There are a lot of ways to make it work."
Because of students like Kallas, who said his trip was worth the financial strain, studying abroad expensive as it may be — has not gone out of style. According to the Institute of International Education, more than 2,000 students from the state of Kansas studied abroad last year.

"You want to travel when you study abroad," Kallas said. "You want to make the most of the trip, and that means spending money."
Tomatoes become absent in businesses
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
LAWRENCE
Finding a plump, juicy tomato in Lawrence these days might be tough because of a national salmonella outbreak, but it's possible.
The outbreak across 23 states was responsible for 228 infections and 25 hospitalizations. The outbreak forced establishments such as McDonalds, KU Dining Services and Rudy's Pizzeria to remove tomatoes from some items on the menus. But stores such as Local Burger and Checkers Foods are still offering tomatoes grown in areas approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
"We've been happily reassuring our customers that they can eat our tomatoes," Marissa Massoni, Local Burger employee, said. "It's one of the benefits of buying ingredients locally."
The FDA has not confirmed the source of the contaminated tomatoes. The FDA has cleared tomatoes from 39 states including Kansas. According to the FDA, locally grown tomatoes are not always safe, but Massoni said Local Burger's supplier in Linwood was not affected by the infection.
The sources of contamination are red Roma, red plum and red round tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes and tomatoes with the vine attached have not been connected with any illnesses.
Checkers, which gets its Roma tomatoes from Arkansas through Kansas City-based Associated Wholesale Grocers, posted signs by its tomato bins to reassure shoppers. Despite the store's extra effort, consumers are not lining up to purchase the vegetables.
"There has been some hesitation and our sales haven't been as strong," Smith said. "Even though our Roma

Massoni said she noticed more Local Burger diners leaving uneaten tomatoes on their plates, but she said consumers were mostly happy about the safe vegetables.
tomatoes are safe, we didn't order any more because we knew we wouldn't sell them."
"The tomatoes involved in the outbreak aren't likely to be coming from our source," Massoni said. "Our tomatoes definitely will not make you vomit."
The salmonella outbreak has prompted cautionary measures at some other Lawrence establishments.
At The Market food court in the Kansas Union, Brellas Sandwiches and Wraps has held its sliced tomatoes in storage since last Monday. Cherry tomatoes are still available at the Garden Gourmet salad bar.
"None of our tomatoes were infected," Steve Walker, server at Brellas, said. "We're holding them as a precaution to make sure nobody gets sick. We haven't had many complaints."
Rudy's Pizzeria started replacing tomatoes on its gourmet pizzas with other ingredients. Rudy's is serving tomato sauce as usual. McDonald's has left sliced tomatoes off its sandwiches since last week as a precaution.

Graduate wins big in World Series of Poker
BY DEEPA SAMPAT
dsampat@kansan.com
It was with four tens that Grant Hinkle won Event No. 2 of the World Series of Poker and $831,462 in Las Vegas on June 4.
Hinkle, 2002 graduate and a businessman living with his wife in Kansas City, Mo., had been playing poker for about five years semiprofessionally.
"Even though it wasn't my main day job, I still played about 20 hours a week." Hinkle said.
Hinkle entered the event, a $1,500 buy-in of No Limit Texas Holdem, along with 3,929 other players. By the end of day one, the competition had been whittled down to about 450 competitors. Hinkle emerged from the day as a top-10 chip holder.
"That's when I started thinking I have a chance to actually win this thing," Hinkle said.
But winning didn't come easily. In his quest for the title, Hinkle had to play against well-known and experienced poker players, including Chris "Jesus" Ferguson and Theo Tran.
Eventually, Hinkle was one of two left at the table. He competed one-on-one for two hours against James
"It was really exciting as a fan of poker," Hinkle said. "Watching it on TV, you see these guys and idolize them. To have them at the table was an exciting and unique experience. That's the great thing about poker; as long as you have money to enter you can play with the best professionals in the game."
Akenhead, a professional poker player from the United Kingdom, before emerging victoriously.
Though the cards were dealt out of luck, he said the strategy that preceded the hand was deliberate and thought out. Akenhead had been betting a lot in the previous hands, and at the break Hinkle received advice from his younger brother, Blair, a professional poker player.
Hinkle bet all his money holding the ten of diamonds and four of diamonds in his hands. The next four cards: ten of hearts, four of hearts, ten of spades, the last ten. Four of a kind is one of the best hands in the game.
"The whole place was going bonkers." Hinkle said. "It was totally euphoria."
Grant Hinkle, 2002 graduate, contemplates his next move during a high-stakes game of poker. Hinkle won more that $800,000 at the World Series of Poker Event No. 2 in Las Vegas.
In his cheering section sat his mother, Lynn Hinkle, who had flown out to Las Vegas the night before to watch her son. After he won, Lynn sent a text message to Grant's wife, Kim, who had been awake all night in their home watching the game online. Kim said the text message read, "HE WON" with about 20 exclamation points. Soon after, at about 6:30 a.m. central time, Lynn called Kim.

Kim said that she could hear the excitement in the background,
"It was kind of a dream state," Kim said. "I was really in shock. I saw the picture pop up with Grant and all the money. I had seen it happen to other players before but didn't ever really imagine it happening to him. It was surreal."

because her mother-in-law was speechless.
"I immediately burst into tears on ESPN," Lynn said. "They had a microphone and a camera on me to watch my reaction. It was such a relief because it was a miracle he got the hand he did."
Hinkle said that he would invest and save most of the prize money. He said he and his wife had been saving up for a new house, which would be his first large purchase with the prize money.
"The first thing my wife did was go house shopping online to see what was out there," Hinkle said.
Hinkle said he planned to use $10,000 of his winnings to participate in the World Series of Poker main event on July 3.
His mother, Lynn, said she wasn't pleased when her sons decided to get into poker playing.
"Poker has such a stigma attached to it," she said.
Lynn said she changed her mind after she watched Blair play in a tournament and finish in sixth place.
"I was amazed at the skill, knowledge, poise, and ability necessary to play at that level," she said. "It's more of a business environment than a gambling environment. Now, seeing
them so good at this business, I am totally supportive."
The tournament that Hinkle won will air July 29 on ESPN.

Weekend Project: Camping offers chance to 'rough it' outdoors
A weekend filled with green grass, campfires, clear night skies and friendship is a great way to take a break from any stress you may have in work or school. But before you pitch a tent and rough it, there are a few things to keep in mind.
First, decide how tough you plan to be. Considering most students don't own RVs, luxury camping is out of the question. But, if you're not into hardcore camping, there are ways to make it more lavish. Bringing a cot or air mattress to
put under your sleeping bag, grilling steak to be served with a nice bottle of wine and scouting out the campsite to locate the nearby showers and rest rooms, are ways to keep from roughing it too hard. Or, if you feel like taking a walk on the wild side, sleep in a hammock, pee in the woods and become one with nature while you cook your own food in a dutch oven.
Before you go, make sure you pack the right things. Bring a tent, sleeping bag, flashlight, backpack,
means to light a fire and utensils to cook food. Make sure you pack old clothes and tennis shoes because you will most likely get dirty. Other basics are water, rain gear, first aid kit, army knife, bug spray and sun screen. If you plan on drinking any cold beverages, be sure to bring a cooler with plenty of ice. Before you leave, check to see if firewood is provided. If not, be sure to bring some with you for a campfire.
When you arrive at the campsite, find the optimal place for your tent
(avoid rocks or else you're in for a bumpy night). It will be a group effort to get all the poles in place. Once your tent it set up, it's time to light the fire and start enjoying the night. During the day, explore the surrounding areas with a hike; just be sure to bring either a map or a compass. The more sophisticated camper might also bring a hand-held GPS device.
Whether your camping trip is for one night or for a whole week, come prepared with plenty of clothes and
plenty of food. Camping is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, but be ready for any bumps in the night.
"Camping is such a good time to just hang out with friends away from all the drama," Jared Clark, Topeka senior, said. Clark also suggested to bring some alternative means of entertainment, such as liquor, mixers and smoke of choice.

It tasted more like cafeteria pasta than fine Italian cuisine.
On my end, the marinara sauce let me down. It tasted like mass-produced red sauce instead of an original Bambino's recipe.
I looked over the menu with a positive attitude. For one, I was famished and the aroma led me to believe I was in for a treat. My friend and I figured we needed to order appetizers to get a feel for everything Bambino's offered.
Bambino's fell short where it counted most. Great marinara sauce is essential for a great Italian restaurant. Anyone can cook noodles, but the sauces separates the ristorantes in Little Italy from the Olive Gardens. I cannot recommend an Italian restaurant with sauce issues in good faith.
We settled on garlic bread and one of my personal favorites, toasted ravioli. The appetizers came out quickly, partly because the place was nearly empty, but also because Bambino's can claim they have a capable wait staff.
— Mike Nolan
The accomplishments of the toasted ravioli and even the garlic bread left me excited for the main course. I ordered penne alla marinara with meatballs and my friend ordered fettuccine alfredo with shrimp.
garlic lovers might say it's delicious.
Cooked to perfection, the ravioli tasted great. It was not the best I have ever had, but I would recommend it to any anyone who dines at Bambino's. The garlic bread went a snitch overboard with the garlic, but I prefer garlic to be used subtly so

Jayhawk dirty talk
Dear Dirtytalk,
Men are confusing.Maybe you can help me.
I hear that in intimate situations, playing a little rough can be kinda hot. Personally I enjoy it, so when I'm in the mood I may bite a little. After I really started to get into it, the last guy I was fooling around with totally lost the mood! Do guys like the bitey? What should I do?
— Girl Needing Advice With Relationships
Well my dangerously dental friend, it's too much to ask for a blanket statement concerning men and whether or not they fancy being masticated. I don't think you should assume that the next guy you try to take a bite out of won't like it. This particular gentleman, who lost the mood after you bit him a few times, obviously wasn't as into it as you were. Biting, like most bedroom practices, should be a shared passion by both partners.
As for why he lost the mood, the first thing that comes to my mind is that you may have caused him enough pain that he lost his erection. Lawrence urologist Dr. Doug Klingler gives a scientific explanation for what might have happened.
"All erections use a sympathetic outflow, which keeps you from having erections all the time and it basically keeps the arteries kind of constricted down so there's not as much blood flow," Dr. Klingler said. "Now sympathetics are also the type of thing you get when you're frightened, when you're scared. Kind of a fight or flight response, you get an outpouring of sympathetics. So if this guy's scared, painful stimulation, you know, and he's not expecting it or if it's not pleasurable...it's basically neurotransmitters going in there, cutting out the blood flow, constricting the arteries and, you know, it's a physiological process and it dies down. Now if he's some guy who's into it, you know, it's a pleasurable thing. Obviously he's not going to give the same response."
Based off of what Dr.Klingler said, I think the easiest answer to this problem is to find a guy who thinks of your kink as sexy stimulation rather than an oral offense. This would take away the guess work and, chances are, he would give you exactly what you are looking for.
The last guy you were with may have just been shy. He also may not have had much experience with biting. If that's the case and you want to
BY PETER SOTO
continue relations with him, it may be your duty to open this young lad's mind to the world of naughty nibbling. There are a few options for how you can do this.
Keep the locations of your bites in mind. The lower lip and neck are great places for a little gentle biting and sucking. The penis, on the other hand, should never experience rough teething. I don't know where you were biting your last man, but you will find very few men who want a vampire fanging their main vain.
I took a random, informal campus survey and found that two-thirds of the men I asked don't enjoy biting in the bedroom. This same 30-person survey also found that there was an even split between women who did and didn't like to bite.
No matter if your next encounter is a one night stand or the beginnings of a relationship, communication is key. Not all of the responsibility is on you to make sure your partner is comfortable, but you could try to bring it up in conversation.
If this isn't the type of topic you feel all right talking about openly, that's OK. A 1971 study conducted by Albert Mehrabian at UCLA found that more than half of all face to face communication is nonverbal. Make it easy on yourself and look at his body language. If you are biting him and he isn't responding in a way that says, "Ooo, that's kind of naughty and I like it," then you may want to back off a little.
Depending on what you're looking for there are two ways this could go. If you want to continue things with someone who isn't into biting, you will just have to work with them to find a happy medium. If biting is really important to you, find a guy who likes biting to begin with, because if you start biting a partner who really isn't into it he will be too out of the moment to get into you.

Tuition compact will not benefit the University
Last Thursday, the Kansas Board of Regents voted to allow the University to increase tuition costs and implement a tuition compact that is to be enforced on all incoming freshmen. Students in the University's tuition compact will pay an 8.4 percent increase in tuition while students who are not in the tuition compact will pay a 6 percent increase in tuition. Students who are locked into the compact will pay the same amount of tuition for four years. Students not in the compact will pay a level of tuition that is subject to future increases until they finish their degree.
While, at first glance, the tuition compact looks like a money saver for students, it will not benefit the University or its students in the long run. The tuition compact does not give the University the flexibility to address economic concerns during times of economic hardship and economic boom.
In 2001 and 2003 tuition increases were less than 5 percent. If a similar situation occurs in the near future and the University decides to lower the noncompact tuition increase by two percent or less, the students who are locked into the tuition compact will be paying more than noncompact students. If tuition costs do not rise, compact students will be carrying an unnecessary economic burden. The University will receive more money than it would have if all students

were paying the noncompact rate.
While a decrease in tuition is unlikely, a more serious and more probable situation could occur. If three years from now, there is a situation that causes the University to want to raise tuition by 25 percent, it will not have a large population of its student body to call on because they will be locked into set four-year plans that will only account for the increases of previous years. The worst case scenario involves students who pay the noncompact rate of tuition (i.e. transfers, fifth, sixth and seventh year students and non traditional students) taking the lion's share of the monetary burden along with the incoming freshmen class. Such extreme jumps in tuition are not uncommon. Only six years ago, the University proposed a 25.21 percent tuition increase. The following years saw proposed increases of 20.75 percent, 15.9 percent and 14.3 percent.
Max Rinkel
The economic burden placed on students who are not covered under the compact would be financially taxing to an extreme degree. Students not under the compact would be paying for the education of those participating in the compact.
Even if tuition cost increases don't reach double digits, problems
with the tuition compact still exist. Between 1990 and 2005 (the only years that offer sufficient data), only about 70 percent of freshmen continued at the University after their sophomore year. If trends continue, an average of 30 percent of students will not enjoy the full payoff of being part of the tuition compact. Students who drop out or transfer after their freshmen year would pay 2.4 percent more than students who pay the noncompact rate. Additionally, only about 56 percent of freshmen complete a degree after six years. This means that students who do stay at the University more than four years will have to pay the noncompact rate eventually, which could possibly cost a great deal more than they are used to.
Over the past six years, the cost of tuition at the University has almost tripled from $77.75 per credit hour to $229.25 per credit hour. Instead of coming up with new gimmicks to disguise tuition increases as savings, the University needs to solve the problem of out of control tuition costs.

Mess in Manhattan
MONTANA
The community of Miller Ranch in western Manhattan works to clean up their neighborhood with the help of the Salvation Army. Miller Ranch was one of the hardest hit neighborhoods in Wednesday's tornado.

Kansan reporter Christine D'Amico describes the damage from tornado at K-State
BY CHRISTINE D'AMICO cdamico@kansan.com
Students described it as a typical tornado. First came the rain followed by the hail. After a small calm it hit: an F4 tornado that would scare the campus of Kansas State University.
A Kansan photographer and I drove into Manhattan two days after the tornado, which covered an area of five miles, ripping through the college town last Wednesday.
Clean-up crews had been working tirelessly since the incident, cleaning up blown over trees and debris. However, new student orientation was in full swing, as if the $20 million worth of damage to campus had not phased them.
The engineering hall was one of the first buildings hit on campus. Yellow tape still trimmed the building. Dane Sylvester was one of the
volunteers aiding with the clean-up.
"The main damage was to the atrium," Sylvester said. "There was a lot of glass and water from the
tornado."
Dick Hayter, associate dean of external affairs, showed us around the building and we saw the cleanup that started the night of the bad weather.

A smashed truck sits outside the home of Kent Dick, Manhattan resident, Friday. Dick said his house was a total loss but planned to rebuild
During a tour from the roof of the building, he pointed out other buildings on campus affected by the storm. In what looked to be a perfectly diagonal line through town, the path of the tornado hit a fraternity house, the engineering building, a nuclear reactor, green houses and a wind erosion lab, along with countless cars and trees in its path.
"We got in here an hour later and you could see through the roof," Hayter said.
Our next stop was the Sigma Alpha Epsilon
bers sought shelter at the nearby engineering building's loading dock. Along with five other people, the Greek members watched the tornado rip through their home and move onto the engineering building.
"There was green lightening and then a calm." Brunkow said.
While hiding in safety, Brunkow watched a car crash into the bay doors of the engineering building.
"We got in there an hour later and you could see through the roof."
Jared Brunkow, senior vice president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, was in-the house when the storm hit. After watching the weather reports on the news of the invasive storm, Brunkow and other fraternity mem-

After surviving the initial tornado, all the members started to clean up the surrounding area. An apartment building located across the street from the fraternity house also lost its roof. Brunkow
went to help where needed. The fraternity brothers assisted one couple in particular, newlyweds who barely had time to recoup from their honeymoon.

undetermined. Most of the ruined material included carpets, mattresses and bedding, but because of
the brick construction, the foundation of their house remained intact.
"Lots of other chapters and alumni are coming to help us out," Brunkow said.
The tight-knit fraternity was expecting fellow members from a Wichita chapter the next day to further help clean up their house.
Casper and fellow reporters told us of Miller Ranch, a residential neighborhood that had been hit hard.
@KANSAN.COM
As we drove up the ridge that entered the neighborhood, we saw the same debris that was sprinkled throughout Manhattan. But a sharp turn down a hill opened us up to the devastation. At one time properties in this area topped $1 million, but now the houses were reduced to sheets of concrete. Red Cross tents

littered the streets and families stood in a mess of their former homes.
It was clear that by the time
that by the time we had gotten there the shock was gone. Families sat in the frames of their houses at kitchen islands or other remaining parts, prepping themselves for another round
of clean-up. Spray painted "X"s adorned homes that were no longer habitable. Unfortunately the further we drove into the community the more "X"s we saw.
It was an unexplainable sight, one that no words will do justice. It was the sight of children carrying orange buckets, lending a hand in the clean-up process. It was a sight of realization that the homes where families were raised were now gone. It was a sight of a community banded together to rebuild.

Floodwaters force closure of bridge
BY ALLEN G. BREED
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKVILLE, Iowa - The rising Mississippi River forced the closure of one bridge and partial shutdown of another between Iowa and Illinois as residents of the two states and other parts of the Midwest stacked sandbags to prepare for the possibility of more flooding.
Authorities saved several people, including a motorist rescued from on top of his car, after a levee break near the small village of Gulfport, Ill. They closed the Great River Bridge that connects Gulfport to Burlington via U.S. Highway 34, as well as part of the highway.
Floodwaters threatened about 7,500 acres in Illinois, Henderson County Deputy Sheriff Don Seitz said.
About 20 miles down the river, the BNSF Railway Co. swing span
bridge was closed early Tuesday to car traffic at Fort Madison, near the Iowa-Illinois line, Lee County emergency management director Steve Cirinna said.
About 30 people were working to raise the railroad tracks above floodwaters, but BNSF Railway Co. spokesman Steve Forsberg said the bridge hadn't closed to trains.
Car traffic moves on the bridge and trains travel on tracks below.
The federal government predicts that 27 levees could potentially overflow along the river if the weather forecast is on the mark and a massive sandbagging effort fails to raise the level of the levees, according to a map obtained Monday by The Associated Press.
Officials are placing millions of sandbags on top of the levees in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri to prevent overflowing.

Music: Punk rock band returns with new electric, catchy tunes
From First to Last disappeared out of the punk rock family when a member of the band became ill in 2006 after releasing their third album, "Heroine." Two years later, the band is back with a new album and a different sound.
In their self-titled album, the band brings a mixture of rock, pop and excitement.
The album definitely lives up to the title. From the first song, "Two As One" to their last song, "In Memorium in Advance," I was intrigued by the sound and lyrics.
The songs I liked most were "Two As One," "Worlds Away" and "Tick Tick Tomorrow" because of the thrilling sound and crazy lyrics.
I also like how some song titles coincide with the album title, like in "I Once was Lost, But Now Profound" and "We all Turn Back to Dust." Even though I'm not a punk rock fan, the catchy titles helped my curiosity.
FROM FIRST TO LAST
I think everyone would enjoy listening to the electric sound in From First to Last.

Say no to drunk dialing
5. It's always an ex or someone equally as inappropriate.
Hashing the past with an ex when your sober is rough. But in an invincible intoxicated state, two in the morning sounds like the perfect opportunity to clear the air.
If the ex doesn't answer, there is the unfortunate possibility of placing calls to the parents. Jordan Gormley, 18, Hiawatha knows this first hand.
After placing a call to his friend's mother, she grounded her child from his car for three weeks.
4. Public displays of emotion will never be kosher
An emotional phone call will only land you in the corner of a crowded bar, crying. It's great for others in the bar, and possibly one of my favorite things to see at the other end of an establishment, but not for you. On top of that, going out is a good time; don't turn it into a bad one with an inebriated phone call.

Child abuse and neglect are tragic, awful crimes, and not at all a laughing matter, unless you're David Sedaris reminiscing about your childhood. Sedaris' latest collection of essays, titled, "When You Are Engulfed in Flames," range from a white-trash babyssitter who forced him to scratch her back for hours (he's still traumatized), to a disappointing encounter with his first dingo. His long suffering boyfriend, Hugh, only shakes his head and sighs at all of Sedaris' obsessive-compulsive ticks. The dark humor he uses to depict humanity can be appreciated by anyone who

has encountered American tourists in Europe and those who try to quit smoking. "Flames" more closely reflects Sedaris' real age of 51, than his past two books, but it is a necessary addition to his collection of memoirs.
WHEN YOU ARE ENGAGED IN FLAVORS
It's usually the case that the night you went out, is the night the phone call receiver stayed in. A key determinant to know when to hang up the phone is when the conversation starts with, "Oh, were you sleeping?"
1. You don't remember what you said
It's common sense that when alcohol is in your system, memory isn't a factor in your life any longer. But don't worry; the next day a multitude of people will be eager to let you in on your antics.
Victoria Grandsoult, 21, Derby, has

Movies: 'Happening is just plain hapless
O
Director M. Night Shyamalan has made a name for himself by throwing outrageous plot twists into his films. Unfortunately, Shyamalan avoids throwing a curveball in "The Happening," a movie that could use some wholesale adjustments.
For starters, Shyamalan could ditch the contrived dialogue, cut loose his group of laughably poor actors and modify his film's ridiculous premise.
Mark Wahlberg is decent as Elliott Moore, a teacher who grapples with marital problems while trying to avoid a deadly natural phenomenon. Zooey Deschanel plays Moore's disgruntled wife. The combination of bland dialogue and Deschanel's incompetent performance leaves the viewer rooting against her character's survival within the film's first 30 minutes.

Though Wahlberg stands out by delivering the film's only passable acting performance, his mere presence in the film disappoints after his great work in "The Departed."
There isn't much to the storyline in "The Happening," forcing Shyamalan to tack on a hackneyed
M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN

and forced environmental message. The film — billed as the director's most frightening work — leaves no lasting effect, although the prospect of repeat viewings is quite terrifying.
Shyamalan's career arc has trended down since 1999's "The Sixth Sense." At this point, his career is in need of a creative plot twist.

Meals on a budget: Fruit salad glaze
Brynn Hamlett, 18, enlightens us on the benefits of a tasty, zesty kick to plain, cut-up fruit.
INGREDIENTS
Grapes
1 Granny Smith apple
1/2 of a cantaloupe
1 Lime
Honey
Cinnamon
DIRECTIONS
Cut up the apple and the cantaloupe and place in a bowl. Add one cup of grapes.
In a smaller bowl, start making
the glaze. Squeeze out the juice from one full lime. Use between a fourth and half bottle of honey and add a dash of cinnamon. Stir all three ingredients together, continuing to pinch in more cinnamon until it tastes to your liking.
Once the glaze is thin, pour it over the fruit and place in the refrigerator while covering the bowl with wax paper or a paper towel. The lime should help keep the fruit fresh longer.
"It adds a kick of flavor," Hamlett said, who claimed to make her fruit salad once a week.
The beauty of this recipe is that
any combination of fruit can be substituted,depending on what you like.
Hamlett said this snack should be eaten either during the morning or afternoon, but never at night.
"You're supposed to have something with sugar during the morning because you burn it off during the day," she said. "At night, you just go to sleep."
And that's how you make a quick, simple fruit salad to help get you through the day. All prepared in less than 10 minutes.

COURT
Judge orders Collins to pay damages
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Kansas junior guard Sherron Collins was ordered Tuesday by a Douglas County judge to pay more than $75,000 to a woman who accused him of assault.
The court document said Collins was notified of the claim against him last month but never filed a response or defense. According to the document, Jessica J. Brown, a former Jayhawker Towers' employee, alleged Collins physically came on to her in one of the complex's elevators and rubbed his exposed penis on her in May 2007.
In a statement released by the Athletics Department, Collins said he didn't respond after being told about the lawsuit because he didn't understand what was expected of him. He said the allegations were not true.
"I am aware of the allegation and cooperated with the investigation last summer," Collins said in the statement. "I am 100 percent innocent of any inappropriate behavior."
Kansas coach Bill Self said Collins had been in Chicago visiting his father,
who was ill. Self said Collins had since returned to Lawrence and was looking forward to addressing the matter and proving his innocence.
Self added that he had known about the accusation since last May but was surprised to find out what happened in the civil suit today.

Although Self said Collins had "no excuse" for not responding to the petition, the coach was still supporting him.
"I stand by him without question," Self said.
According to the lawsuit, Brown sustained medical, emotional and psychological damages from the incident. The court document also said she was forced to pay medical bills and leave her place of employment as a result of the alleged assault.
Self said Collins and his attorney would meet to determine the guard's next step in the legal process.
"I'm disappointed that he's got to deal with this and we've got to deal with this," Self said. "Certainly, I'm not passing judgment on anything but I wish this was handled differently."

Rankings expert doubts Kansas
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
The Kansas football team has received high rankings from the first batch of preseason polls but college football expert Phil Steele is not as optimistic.
Steele's College Football Preview magazine, which stassen.com found to contain the most accurate preseason rankings during the past nine years, has the Jayhawks ranked significantly lower than its competitors. While all the other rankings have Kansas second in the Big 12 North division and in the top 20 nationally, Steele picked it third in the Big 12 North and 30th overall.

Kickball:a true Lawrence summer story

kickball schedule
League Game Days Game Times Venues
Kaw Valley Kickball League Sunday 5:30 p.m., 7 p.m., 9 p.m. (game of the week) Lyons Park, Water Tower Park, South Park Woodlawn, Edgewood, Hobbs Park
Lawrence Parks and Recreation Friday, Sunday Fri.- 6:15 p.m. 9:15 p.m. Sun.-1 p.m.-6 p.m. Fri.-port to Sport, Sun.- Clinton Lake Softball Complex
Todd Gold takes off on a dead sprint past the left field foul line and dives head-first into the hard ground at South Park to make a catch.
And Gold, Denver senior, did it all without a glove. No gloves are needed in kickball — a game that has turned into a Lawrence summertime favorite. Gold's team, the Sun Creations, rides the momentum from his spectacular sixth inning snag to a 10-4 victory against the division-foe Eastsiders.
"It was the most amazing play of my life," Gold said.
Phil Mitchell, commissioner of the Kaw Valley league, said kickball enthusiasts just can't get enough. He said the league started seven years ago with only eight teams as a way for downtown business employees to interact. The number of teams in the league has grown ever since.
The Sun Creations and Eastsiders are just two of the 28 kickball teams that are a part of the Kaw Valley Kickball League this summer in Lawrence. Lawrence Parks and Recreation also offers its own kickball league in the summer that has 16 teams.
“It's pretty amazing what it's turned into but I'm glad it's here," Mitchell said. "People wake up Sunday morning and think kickball."
Mary King, Larned senior, considers herself one of those people. King, who plays for Sacred Sword this season, has participated in the Kaw Valley League for three years.
She also decided to play in the Lawrence league at the beginning of the summer to prepare her for the upcoming Kaw Valley season. Her Lawrence league team won the championship.
She laughs about her fascination with kickball with her friends but swears she's not joking.
"I say to people 'I don't feel alive unless it's kickball season," King said.
That's exactly the kind of attitude that drove Mitchell to become the commissioner of the league. He emphasized that it was the players and their attitudes that made the league special.
He said the best example of this came two years ago during the league's
championship game. The league held the game at Hobbs Park, a venue that is fully equipped with a fence, infield and bleachers, hoping to encourage spectators to come watch.
It worked. Five hundred people showed up to watch the event and the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association even set up a concession stand. After the championship game, Mitchell knew Kaw Valley kickball had become more than just a league — it was a community.
Now, every week a 'game of the week' is played at Hobbs Park on Sunday night after all the other league games are finished. Mitchell said even a slow night brought 200 people to the weekly spectacle.
"It's become a signature event," he said. "Other people in the league want to watch other people play."
With the number of players in the league expanding every year, Mitchell expects more people to show up at
Hobbs Park. He said he thought the 2008 championship game at the end of the summer would set a new attendance record.
Mitchell said the 'ku.edu syndrome' was starting to hit the league because every year during sign-ups, more new players are listing KU e-mail addresses. Using the addresses as his barometer, Mitchell estimated that around 25 percent of the league was comprised of students.
KU students also have the opportunity to join a kickball league made specifically for them. KU Recreation Services is trying to implement a summer intramural kickball league.
But Ben Prahl, Corvallis, Ore., graduate student and intramural manager, said only one team had signed up so far. Prahl said perhaps students already being involved in other leagues had hurt the recreation center's initiative.
"To be honest, we didn't really know Lawrence had a kickball league,"
Prahl said. "We had just been talking about, not only kickball, but starting something new to see if people would respond."
Even though the response hasn't been overwhelming so far for the league, King said she could imagine kickball becoming a major college pastime at Kansas.
She said kickball served as a perfect combination of competitiveness and spending time with friends in a social setting. It can also bring back memories of athletic glory days.
"In high school, I was really athletic and did dance and volleyball and a billion other things," King said. "Kickball gives me a little bit of an outlet for an athletic activity."
Students interested in signing up for the intramural kickball league should either call 864-0787 or e-mail imsports@ku.edu.

to shred my magazine and have a bonfire or something like that," Steele said.
Steele said everything fell in place last season for the Jayhawks because of a soft schedule and a lack of injuries, which enabled them to a schoolrecord 12 victories and an Orange Bowl trophy. He doesn't think it will be that easy this season.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said he didn't pay attention to the preseason hype surrounding the football team. Although he realizes expectations are higher for the Jayhawks, it's not going to change the way he prepares.
"Presseason polls don't mean a whole lot," Mangino said in a statement. "The end of the season polls are the ones that tell the story."
He could reference last season to support his point. The Jayhawks weren't ranked in the top 25 in any preseason rankings or magazines but finished the year at No.7 in the Associated Press poll.
With 15 returning starters, including junior quarterback Todd Reesing, a successful Kansas season wouldn't surprise anyone this year — except maybe Phil Steele.

"I think this year's Kansas team probably has more talent than last year's 12-1 team," Steele said. "But I don't think they're going to achieve that record."
Steele said if Kansas was that successful this season, it would most likely start with a Heisman-caliber season from Reesing. Steele added that if the Jayhawks lost only one game again, he would probably be voting for Reesing for college football's most prestigious individual award.
Steele thinks Reesing faces a more daunting task in 2008 with Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Tech and South Florida all added to Kansas' schedule. Reesing seems to realize what he's up against.
"It's not just going to happen, we know that from last year," Reesing
said after spring practice. "We're not just going to show up and beat everybody. The Orange Bowl doesn't mean anything this year."
It wasn't all negative news for Jayhawk fans in Steele's magazine, though. He did name senior wide receiver and kick-returner Marcus Herford a First Team All-American.
Herford averaged more than 28 yards per kick return last season and scored two touchdowns. Steele said he expected Herford to have an even bigger season in 2008.
College football magazine Athlon Sports had Kansas selected the highest of all the rankings so far at No. 13 in the nation. What may be more disheartening to Jayhawk fans is the team that all the polls have ahead of Kansas in the Big 12 North — Missouri.
Celtics win championship, Pierce earns MVP
BY TOM WITHERS
NBA FINALS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — On a new parquet floor below aging championship banners, the Boston Celtics won their 17th NBA title and a first one — at last — for Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen — their Big Three for a new generation.
After 22 long years, the NBA has gone green.
Lifted by ear-splitting chants of "Beat L.A." from their adoring crowd, which included Boston legends Bill Russell John Havlicek and JoJo White, the Celtics concluded a shocking rebound of a season with a stunning 131-92 blowout over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 on Tuesday night.
With the outcome assured, Boston fans sang into the night as if they were in a pub on nearby Canal Street. They serenaded the newest champs in this city of champs, and taunted Kobe Bryant and his Lakers, who drowned in a green-and-white wave for 48 minutes.
as the Celtics, a 24-win team a year ago, wrapped up their first crown since 1986.
This was total domination. The Celtics obliterated the Lakers, who were trying to become the first team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the finals.
No way. No how. No chance.
Boston's 39-point win surpassed the NBA record for the biggest margin of victory in a championship clincher; the Celtics beat the Lakers 129-96 in Game 5 of the 1965 NBA finals.
Pierce doused Celtics coach Doc Rivers with red Gatorade. Owner Wyc Grousbeck, who named his group Banner 17 to leave no doubt about his goal, put an unlit cigar in his mouth — a tribute to Red Auerbach, the patriarch who had a hand in the franchise's first 16 titles.
Garnett dropped to the parquet and kissed the leprechaun at center court, then found Hall of Famer Bill Russell for a long embrace.

T5P Sports bars in Lawrence
Case Keefer/KANSAN
BIGG'S BBQ
SPORTS • RIBS ROCK N ROLL
Bigg's Barbeque serves mouthwatering BBQ and has TVs to whet any sports fan's appetite. It is one of many sports bars in Lawrence that contribute to the Kansas sports frenzy.
5. SET'EM UP JACKS,
1800 E. 23RD ST.
Located on the far east side of town, Setem Up Jacks is anything but convenient for KU students. But the food is worth the trip (but by no means outstanding). What the restaurant does have, however, is the best television in town — a 22-foot high-definition screen.
4. YACHT CLUB,
530 WISCONSIN ST.
During KU basketball games, the atmosphere at the Yacht Club might be second best to only Allen Fieldhouse. It's loud, exhausting and exciting. The restaurant also serves the best chicken tenders in town.
3. JOHNNY'S TAVERN,
410 N. SECOND ST.
The walls of Johnny's are covered with more than 50 years worth of Kansas basketball memorabilia. Easily the longest-running sports bar in Lawrence, it was opened 55 years ago. Johnny's has a diverse menu and terrific food.
2. JEFFERSON'S RESTAURANT, 743 MASSACHUSETTS ST.
It's hard to believe Jefferson's has been open for only eight years because it has turned into a Lawrence tradition. With its great location and even better burgers and wings, Jefferson's is an ideal place to grab lunch and watch a game.
1. BIGG'S BARBEQUE, 2429 S. IOWA ST.
Bigg's combines three of the best things in the world: barbeque, sports and rock 'n' roll. The sports bar has enough televisions to be disguised as an electronics store and the barbeque is simply mouthwatering.

THIS WEEK IN SPORTS Tiger wins U.S. Open for the ages on 91st hole
SAN DIEGO — Tiger Woods cradled the silver U.S. Open trophy in his right hand and limped toward the edge of the Pacific bluffs, each step as much a burden as the 91 holes he played at Torrey Pines for a major that might have been his most amazing yet.
Out of competition for two months because of knee surgery, he won the toughest test in golf.
For the second straight day, Woods came to the 18th hole one shot behind and stood over a birdie putt to avoid a shocking collapse.
His knee throbbing and heart pounding, he delivered. He always does.
An epic U.S. Open finally ended Monday afternoon on the 19th hole of a playoff when Woods outlasted a gitty Rocco Mediate for a victory that surprised even him.
"I think this is probably the best ever," Woods said. "All things considered, I don't know how I ended up in this position, to be honest with you. It was a long week. A lot of doubt, a lot of questions going into the week. And here we are, 91 holes later."
NBA commissioner Stern denies claims of foul play
NEW YORK — NBA commissioner David Stern dismissed allegations from a former referee at the center of a gambling scandal that the 2002 playoff series was rigged by league referees and officials, calling the claims baseless.
"He turned on basically all of his colleagues in an attempt to demonstrate that he is not the only one who engaged in criminal activity," Stern said of Tim Donaghy before Game 3 of the NBA finals in Los Angeles on Tuesday. "The U.S. attorney's office, the FBI have fully investigated it, and Mr. Donaghy is the only one who is guilty of a crime."
The allegations about the 2002 series were contained in a letter filed by a lawyer for Donaghy, who pleaded guilty last year to felony charges alleging he took cash payoffs from gamblers and bet on games himself.
N.Y.Mets fire Randolph, Yankees ace sprains foot
NEW YORK — Willie Randolph was set to depart New York for a West Coast road trip still in charge of the Mets, while the Yankees headed back to the Big Apple without their staff ace.
Instead, Randolph packed up his office on Tuesday after being
fired.
The embattled Randolph had been on the hot-seat for months after his Mets failed to live up to expectations. A losing record in mid-June was the last straw for Mets' management. The Mets, who were 34-35 on Tuesday, will move on with bench coach Jerry Manuel taking over the managing duties on an interim basis.
Uncertainty exists in the Bronx as well, as ace Chien-Ming Wang left the clubhouse on crutches after spraining his right foot running the bases in a 13-0 rout of Houston. An MRI exam is planned for Monday and manager Joe Girardi said Wang will miss at least one start.
Buffalo Bills rookie, teammates subpoenaed
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Rookie receiver James Hardy was one of three Buffalo Bills players subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury looking into a hit-and-run accident involving running back Marshawn Lynch's SUV.
Besides Hardy, the Bills' second-round draft pick, rookie receiver Steve Johnson and second-year offensive lineman Christian Gaddis also were subpoenaed.

The image shows a close-up of a monkey, likely a species native to Brazil. The monkey has a large, prominent face with striking eyes and a wide, white muzzle that stands out against its dark fur. Its ears are small and rounded, and it appears to be looking slightly upwards. The background is blurred and indistinct, focusing attention on the monkey itself.
An Emporer Tamarin monkey is seen at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo. The Golden Years have arrived at the nation's zoos and aquariums, and that is taking veterinarians and keepers into a zone of unknowns.

CORRECTION
Christine D'Amico
June 18's article "District Attorney files to charge teen as an adult" misspoke on the reasons a minor can be tried as an adult. A minor can be charged as an adult if they are between 14 to 17 years of age, if the defendant
was an adult the crime would be considered a person felony, is the offense was committed while in possession of a fire arm, or if the offender is being charged with one or more felony.
LAWRENCE BRIEF Two shooting suspects arrested, charged Sunday
At 1:20 Sunday morning, Lawrence police were called to the Cross Town Tavern parking lot after receiving a report concerning gunshots in the area.
Upon arriving at Cross Town Tavern, 1910 Haskell Ave., police found George Briscoe, 21, of Kansas City, Kan., suffering from gunshot wounds. Briscoe was transferred to a Kansas City area hospital with non-life threatening iniuries.
According to Captain Tarik Khatib, the suspect's vehicle was seen leaving the scene of the crime shortly after the police arrived.
Haskell Ave. Gac Marris, employee of Mil Spec Security, said they were able to locate the vehicle after hearing the description on a police scanner.
Employees of Mil Spec Security saw the vehicle pulling into an apartment complex at 1600
"Immediately after a crime most suspects want to get off the streets," Morris said. "That's how most suspects are caught."
Police later took into custody Preston Gardenhire, 31, Topeka, and Erica Chamberlain, 35, Lawrence. Gardenhire was charged with aggravated battery and Chamberlain was charged with aiding a felon. Both Gardenhire and Chamberlain were booked in the Douglas County jail.
Khatib said Lawrence police were continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
Employees at Cross Town Tavern refused comment.

A sitdown with White Owl's fiancée, Julia Lee
BY BRYAN CISLER bcisler@kansan.com
Julia Lee, former Lawrence junior, became engaged to campus celebrity White Owl earlier this month. Here's what she has to say about the wedding.
Kansan: How is your family responding to this?
Julia: They are still kind of struggling with this. My dad wants to meet with a third party so we can communicate about this. He wants to meet with me, my mom and a preacher to sort some of this stuff out. He wants this to end because he is not comfortable with this at all.
K: What are the different reactions you have been getting from people hearing the news?
J: I am getting more friend requests on Facebook from friends of White Owl's. Some random person asked who was going to be officiating the wedding and if it was legal. We have three certified officials and of course, the wedding is going to be legal.
K:What separates White Owl from other people?
J: Somebody in the Old Testament wrote that we should be in constant prayer. Our relationship is all about God, and his blessings in our lives. The reason my past relationships aren't there is because God has to be at the center of a relationship. He is at the center of my life, and if he isn't at the center of other people's life, like daily, in their thoughts and words every day, then I don't want to be with them.
K: When was your last relationship?
J: Right before this one. We were engaged when I met White Owl. It was a bizarre relationship because it was
long distance, and we didn't really talk all that much. We had been together for three and a half years, but when I met White Owl, I started to remember the things I need in my life. I have to close doors and if I see an open door, I need to walk through it.
K: What was your former fiancé's reaction when you told him the engagement was off?
J: He flew down here on the plane to patch things up, but I told him I couldn't promise that we would be back together. So he flew in and it was weird because I didn't even really recognize him.
K: What did you do before you went to the University?
Jr I was at the Cleveland Art Institute. I had really big doubts when I went there. I didn't know if making art for a living was something I wanted to do. I didn't want to have to deal with the marketing world. I wanted more freedom.
K: Are you staying at the University?
J: I am not really planning on continuing next year. I don't really feel I need to get a degree because I am not sure what I would use it for. I don't really feel it is right for me to get a piece of paper so I can tell people I am capable of doing something.
K: What was White Owl's reaction when you started talking about marriage?
J: I was at Target and he would come and visit me while I was working. One day after work I called my friend Laurel, and I told her 'At the risk of sounding completely insane, I think I am supposed to marry this guy', and she told me that I was insane. I drove over to his place and we were talking. I knew he was feeling bad because I
knew he didn't want to push anything on me, but I knew how he felt about me. I told him my phone conversation with Laurel and he fell to the floor. It was really cool.
K: What are you planning to do for money?
J: He gets money for disability, and we are working on some Web sites in the future.
K: Any kids in the future?
J: Right after we get married.

Student files to run for House
BY RAMSEY COX
rcox@kansan.om
A University of Kansas student is running for a seat in the Kansas House of Representatives.
William Stewart-Starks, Whittier. Calif., senior, filed campaign
papers with the Kansas Secretary of State's office, June 9. He is running as a Libertarian for the Kansas State House 10th district, which includes part of Lawrence, south of Clinton Parkway.
The central ideas of Starks campaign are
increasing personal freedoms and reducing the size of the government by making it more local.
Stewart-Starks
"I feel really strongly about education," Starks said. "I think people should have more choices about where their kids go to school if they're not satisfied with their public school."
Starks said eventually he would try for legislation that would stop citizens from paying for public school if their children were not using it. He ran for Student Senate under a similar platform, calling the University bus system "socialist."
"If you don't use the service you shouldn't have to pay for it," Starks said.
Starks said his campaign was also about getting honest people back into politics. Adam Wood, Lawrence senior and friend of Starks, said honesty was one of Starks' best persona
qualities. He plans to help Starks campaign in any way he can.
"Will is actually honest and running for a good reason," Wood said. "The thing about politicians is some get in it for money and power, but Will is doing it to get things done
and help people."
Starks moved to Kansas from California when he joined the National Guard in 2003 and was stationed at Fort Riley. He started attending the University in 2006. He got involved in politics a year later when he campaigned for Ron Paul for President.
He was encouraged to become more active in government by Patrick Wilbur, an administrative professional at the student financial aid office.
"I am very impressed with William's focus and energy," Wilbur
said. " [The Libertarian Party] has been seeing an increase in outreach and fundraising over the past couple election cycles. I think William's campaign will continue this trend."
The Libertarian Party, founded in 1971, is the third-largest political party in the U.S., behind the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. The Libertarian Party also says it has 200,000 registered voters, making it the fastest growing third-party in the U.S.
The Libertarian Party is liberal on social issues. It stresses the importance of individual liberties, like gay marriage and drug use, but is economically conservative.It advocates free trade and fewer taxes.
"Overall, I think young people want to be let alone, and libertarians promise that," said Burdett Loomis, professor of political science. "But the idea of community is also important, and many young folks have not had quite the experience of how community and reliance on both others and the government may well be crucial for living in an interdependent society."
The Libertarian Party may be growing, but in the U.S. third-party candidates typically struggle to get elected. Wood fears the Libertarian label could hurt Starks' electability.

Gov. appoints alumnus to judge
BY RAMSEY COX rcox@kansan.com
Governor Kathleen Sebelius appointed David Hauber District Court Judge of the 10th Judicial District in Johnson County on June 5. Hauber, University alumnus, takes his post in July. Sebelius interviewed 3 of the 17 applicants.
Hauber earned his bachelor's degree in Journalism in 1977 before returning to earn a law degree in 1983. Hauber said he would not have been able to become a successful lawyer and judge if it were not for his education at the University.
District Court Judge David Hauber
"I feel very fortunate that at both schools, I got the best of the best when it came to teachers," Hauber said.
He first became interested in

law while taking the "First Amendment Law" journalism course. After earning his bachelor's degree, he worked for the Topeka Capital Journal as a reporter, where his interest in law was rekindled while covering courthouses.
"He is a very bright and a great writer. KU prepared him well and he'll be a great judge."
Hauber has practiced law for 25 years and his wife Kate, 1976 graduate, is a lawyer as well.
was a decision he thought long and hard about.
The two met 35 years ago during the first week of their freshman year on the steps of Ellsworth Hall while watching a storm.
Hauber and Kate married by the end of their freshman year. Kate returned to the University with Hauber to earn a law degree as well. She practices real estate law at the law firm of Stinson Morrison Hecker LLP in Kansas City, Mo.
Kate said she was proud of her husband after he was appointed District Court Judge and that it
"He's always felt strongly about the importance of the judiciary system," she said.
"I had never seen anything like it before," Hauber said. "Being from New Jersey, we don't sit outside looking for tornados."
KEN HOLM
1966 graduate
Hauber will leave his law firm at Baty Holm and Numrich, P.C., in Shawnee, where he practices both plaintiff and defense work for small businesses, insurance companies and individuals.
One of his law firm partners, Ken Holm, 1966 graduate, has known Hauber for 20 years.
"I'm very proud of him, but sad to see him leave," Holm said. "He is very bright and a great writer. KU prepared him well and he'll be a great judge."
Hauber's son Michael, Shawnee sophomore, said he too was proud of his father and that this would be a dramatic change for the family.
"My dad joked that I can't be wild anymore because he can't bail me out," he said.
Hauber filled the spot of the retired Honorable Janice D. Russell. His term runs until November 2010 and his name will appear on the ballot for Johnson County voters to decide if he is retained.

THIS WEEK IN NEWS Model Naomi Campbell apologizes to police assault
Model Naomi Campbell said she was sorry she assaulted two police officers during a dispute about lost luggage aboard a British Airways plane. But she has refused to apologize to the airline, accusing it of racism.
British Airways strongly denied the charge.
Campbell, 38, was sentenced Friday to 200 hours of community service and fined 2,300 pounds ($4,600) after she pleaded guilty to kicking, spitting and swearing at the officers aboard a plane at Heathrow Airport in April.
In an interview with Sky News broadcast Saturday, Campbell said she regretted her behavior and said "I apologize profusely" to the police.
Midwest floodwaters cause food prices to soar
Raging Midwest floodwaters that swallowed crops and sent corn and soybean prices soaring are about to give consumers more grief at the grocery store.
In the latest bout of food inflation, beef, pork, poultry and even eggs, cheese and milk are expected to get more expensive as livestock owners go out of business or are forced to slaughter more cattle hogs, turkeys and chickens to cope with rocketing costs for corn-based animal feed.
The floods engulfed an estimated 2 million or more acres of corn and soybean fields in Iowa, Indiana, Illinois and other key growing states, sending world grain prices skyward on fears of a substantially smaller corn crop. The government will give a partial idea of how many
corn acres were lost before the end of the month, but experts say the trickle-down effect could be more dramatic later this year, affecting everything from Thanksgiving turkeys to Christmas hams.
Rod Brenneman, president and chief executive of Seaboard Foods, a pork supplier in Sawnee Mission, Kan. that produces 4 million hogs a year, said high corn costs were already forcing producers in his industry to cut back on the number of animals they raise.
"There's definitely liquidation of livestock happening," and that will cause meat prices to rise later this year and into 2009, said Brenneman, who is also the vice chairman of the American Meat Institute.
Zimbabwean candidate drops out of election
Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai pulled out of Zimbabwe's violence-wracked presidential runoff Sunday, declaring that the election was no longer credible and the loss of life among his supporters was simply too high.
The announcement cleared the way for President Robert Mugabe to continue his 28-year rule, despite mounting condemnation from even loyal African allies that the former independence hero has become a despot who has bankrupted the country's once thriving economy.
"We can't ask the people to cast their vote on June 27 when that vote will cost their lives. We will no longer participate in this violent sham of an election,"Tsvangirai said.
Tsvangirai called on the United Nations, the European Union and the Southern African regional bloc to intervene.

STUDENT SENATE
Leaders to receive less compensation under new policy
BY DEEPA SAMPAT
dsampat@kansan.com
Under a new policy Student Senate leaders will now receive an award compensation funded by a University Endowment Senate account. Adam McGonigle, Wichita junior and student body president, said the new policy had passed through the necessary channels and would be implemented this fall. Senate leaders will no longer be granted tuition sponsorships by Student Success funds.
The new policy, proposed by former student body president Hannah Love and former student body vice president Ray Wittlinger, provided compensation to six Student Senate positions. The student body president and vice president will receive $3,000 per semester; Student Executive committee chair, legislative director and graduate affairs representative will receive $2,000 per semester and student body treasurer will receive
$1,500 per semester.
McGonigle said he first learned that Student Success would not provide tuition sponsorships last April. The tuition sponsorships provided leaders with in-state tuition. He said that's when Love and Wittlinger came up with the new proposal.
"It was too late in the year for student senators to consider any sort of compensation increase on their own,"McGonigle said.
He said that because the Senate cycle was already almost finished in April, there was no way to find funds by writing a bill and taking it through Senate committees.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost of Student Success, said Student Success no longer provided tuition sponsorships for two reasons.
"I was only authorized to provide the funding for one year." Roney said. "Also, students raised questions about whether the administration should be paying student leaders."
The student senators who will receive the compensation are also paid $8.50 an hour for 15-20 hours of work per week.
"Student Senate leaders are some of the lowest paid student employees on campus." McGonigle said. "I think it's unfortunate our compensation doesn't compare to the amount of responsibilities Student Senate members have."
The policy will expire after the spring 2009 semester.
"This is a one year bandage fix," he said. "Ultimately the permanent fix will have to be taken care of by Student Senate."
Tom Cox, Shawnee graduate student and student rights committee vice-chair, said, after hearing about the new policy, he initially reacted unfavorably toward it. He said that if student senators want a pay raise they should request it, which he said they had not done.
"It seems ironic that they are

spending student money on the clock to get paid more money," Cox said.
Cox said he thought student senators should only be paid by funds from student fees because they represent the students. He said he thought neither Student Success nor Endowment should provide any sort of compensation to Student Senate
leaders.
"When they are employed by the administration or an administrative body they are not paid to represent, that creates a conflict of interest," Cox said.

Supreme Court not on the fence about U.S.-Mexico border
BY CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
McALLEN, Texas - A U.S. Supreme Court decision paving the way for a 670-mile federal fence along the U.S.-Mexico border drew swift criticism from environmentalists, who promised to make another legal stand in Texas.
The justices' turned down a plea Monday to hear a lawsuit opposing a two-mile section of the fence in Arizona brought by the Sierra Club and Defenders of Wildlife.
The section of fence in question in that case has already been built and even if the court had taken the case, oral arguments would not have been heard until October.
But Monday's decision could have the most immediate implications for Texas, where opposition has been most widespread and fence construction is expected to begin next month.
The Audubon Society has already said that if the fence is built as planned in South Texas it would have to close its 557-acre Sabal Palm Audubon Center near Brownsville. The center would be left entirely in the no man's land behind the fence north of the Rio Grande.
The Nature Conservancy's Lennox Foundation Southmost Preserve also would be affected, as would portions of the 90,000-acre Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge, assembled over decades along the river to protect one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems in the country.

NATURAL DISASTER
Students feel force of Midwest floodwaters
dodd@kansan.com
HOWARD & MARY VILSHAMER GLENHOUSE
A baseball complex in Iowa City, Iowa, sits buried by floodwaters last week. Students from Iowa felt the effects of two weeks of flooding in their hometowns. Christine Weirich, Iowa City, junior, spent the past two weeks helping with sandbagging and recovery efforts in her Iowa City neighborhood.
The first thing Jeff Foster noticed was the darkness.
As Foster, a 2008 graduate, pulled off the interstate and headed into his hometown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he saw the dark, dirty remains of the second largest city in Iowa. Parts of the city had no power. Mud covered the streets.
"Everything has just been gutted," Foster said, comparing the scene to a Hollywood disaster movie.
The flood waters that have drowned parts of Iowa and left cities along the Mississippi River devastated have touched the KU community as well, leaving a sizable population of KU students and Iowa natives worried about their home state.
Some, like Foster, returned home to assess damages, while others, such as Christine Weirich, Iowa City, Iowa junior, spent the past two weeks sandbagging and trying to help
neighbors save their houses. And some, such as Hannah Jeffrey, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, senior, have stayed in Lawrence, relying on calls to friends and television news reports to gather information.
Two blocks down from the Cedar Rapids Christian Center, the church Foster's father, Barry, has been the pastor at for 10 years, a Dairy Queen sat completely submerged by flood waters.
That was the scene Foster saw as he returned home last weekend to find his father's church decimated. Floodwaters from the Cedar River swallowed up the Christian Center, leaving it buried under 18 feet of standing water.
"It's pretty much destroyed everything," said Foster, who attended Thomas Jefferson High School in Cedar Rapids and was a senior on Kansas' football team last fall.
Foster, whose younger brother, Jason, also attends the University was in Lawrence two days before the first flood waters hit. His father

called and told him that Cedar Rapids was expecting 20 feet of water. The Fosters hurried to surround the church with sandbags and stack everything in the basement up on stilts.
This isn't the first time floods have affected Cedar Rapids. Foster said his basement flooded during the massive floods of 1993.
"We ended up getting 35 feet of water," Foster said.
Foster said his father was going to meet with engineers this week to determine if the Christian Center could be saved. In Christine Weirich's hometown of Iowa City, Iowa, the water is finally starting to recede.
But this time the damage was worse.
Iowa City, including the campus of the University of Iowa.
"It's a little bit of disbelief, a little bit of shock," Foster said. "We just have to remember that the only loss was stuff, and stuff can be replaced."
Her old house sat 19 blocks west of the Cedar River, four or five blocks west of the predicted flood zone.
It's been two weeks since the flood waters spilled over the banks of the Iowa river and submerged parts of
Weirich's hands still have blisters on them from hours of sandbagging. The floods spared her house, thanks to its location on a hill at the top of a subdivision, but Weirich said she wished the same could be said about her neighbors. Her neighborhood was flooded, leaving a lake in her backyard and only one bridge leading out of her subdivision.
"We have a lot of friends who've been affected and we're trying to help them out," Weirich said.
She hasn't seen many of the images shown on the nightly news. She's been too busy sandbagging and helping with recovery efforts. She has met people from all over - people who've come from faraway towns to help with the sandbagging efforts.
Weirich said television images couldn't accurately capture the devastation.
"You don't get that wide image of the flooding," Weirich said.
Hannah Jeffrey, Cedar Rapids senior, went to Thomas Jefferson High School just like Jeff Foster did.
"I'm honestly at a loss for words," Jeffrey said.
Jeffrey, who is living in Lawrence and taking summer classes, said shed spoken with one family that was just hoping the flood waters wouldn't reach their attic.
"The reality of what is happening hits you so quickly and with such force that you think you'll never take safety for granted again," Jeffrey said.
The parks Jeffrey played at as a child, the library she visited, the theaters she went to, they're all under water.
Floodwaters were still razing cities along the Mississippi River and on Tuesday, and many parts of Iowa and Missouri were still under water.
Jeffrey was in Lawrence, but she couldn't help but think of Iowa and Cedar Rapids.
"Watching the destruction of a beloved city is difficult," Jeffrey said.

Class enrollment experiences a tour de languages
BY SACHIKO MIYAKAWA
smiyakawa@kansan.com
The enrollments of some non-European language courses have increased in the past five years because of more focus on those parts of the world.
Spanish, French, German and Italian accounted for more than 75 percent of the foreign language enrollment at the University in 2007, according to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. However, more students took non-Western language courses in 2007, such as Chinese, Arabic and Japanese, than they did in 2002.
The enrollment of Chinese courses has doubled since 2002.
Xu Zhou, Xian, China, graduate student and graduate teaching assistant of Chinese, said China became more important in the world in the time period of the enrollment increase. He said some knowledge of the language would benefit students who were interested in any area, from Chinese politics to history and business. He said the language skill would bring better job opportunities to students and help them be successful, particularly in
business because China produces so many goods for the United States.
The enrollment of Arabic courses has increased by 45 percent since

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Graduate starts vodka distilling business
BY MIKE NOLAN
mnolan@kansan.com
Three years ago Cory Brock's phone rang. He heard the voice of his friend Josh Burnett, who was in Lynchburg, Tenn., at the Jack Daniels factory, the headquarters of the world famous whiskey.
Burnett learned in Tennessee that Jack Daniels started making his own whiskey as a teenager. He was inspired to call Brock. Maybe it seemed ridiculous or maybe the "I can do anything" bug bit him, but when Brock answered his phone in Kansas, Burnett asked him to be a partner in the whiskey-making business.
When Brock received Burnett's phone call he loved the idea of making alcohol, but he recommended that they make vodka instead.
"Josh likes to drink whiskey so he said whiskey," Brock, a KU alumnus, said. "Me, I am more of a vodka
drinker so I said let's make voda."
Brock had a more scientific reason for encouraging Burnett to try making vodka instead. Whiskey needs to be aged in a charred barrel, while vodka only needs to be distilled and mixed with purified water.
What started as a phone call has grown into Honor Distilling, a Lawrence company that produces and bottles vodka. The popularity of the vodka is growing and spreading to neighboring states.
The two settled on vodka and started researching. Brock said he found information in multiple places, and after three years of research with trial and error he finalized a recipe. Brock called the final product Honor Vodka, which is also the name of his company.
Their recipe consists of a corn and
"Honestly, our recipe and our process is a conglomerate of tons of research," Brock said.
wheat blend, which is distilled with 100 percent grain alcohol and then mixed with purified water.
Brock said the Midwest made for a good place to distill vodka because of the abundance of grains.
"We chose corn and wheat, but you can actually use any grain product to make vodka," Brock said.
The process did not come easy. Brock said he and Burnett did not get it right on the first try or even the 50th try.
"We were scared of the first batch," Brock said. "We looked at each other like I'm not drinking that."
Sixty-three tries later, Brock finalized his recipe, which got bottled and put on the shelves.
Brock, who graduated from the University in 2002 with a business degree, knew soon after college that corporate America was not for him. He moved to Minnesota and worked for a mortgage broker, but the job did
not motivate him.
During college he managed the Jayhawk Café, also known as The Hawk, and bartended at the Ranch. After working in Minnesota he owned a company that did promotional work for the Dallas-based alcohol-distributing company Glazer's.
These experiences gave Brock confidence that if he could make a good product, he knew enough people in the industry to get the product in the stores and bars.
"I always knew I wanted to own my own business," said the 30-year-old Brock.
"The thing about starting your own business is that you have to have a lot of people that are willing to help you out," Brock said.
In order to even begin Honor Distilling, Brock and Burnett filled out a mountain of paper work to gain a federal and state license to produce alcohol. They do not have a license
to sell alcohol, so they sell to the distributor Glazer's, which then sells Honor to liquor stores.
In just two months of operation, Honor has already spread from Lawrence into Missouri and received good reviews.
"It was just a hobby that got out of control," Brock said.
Brock said the whole project went further than he ever thought.
"I did a taste test at Quintons and Honor beat Absolut and Skyy hands down," Blomgren said.
Dan Blomgren, owner of the Cork & Barrel liquor stores, said Honor is better than comparably prices vodkas.
Brock and Burnett are working on getting a patent for their process which Brock thinks will take the company to a new level.

McLovin' has free rein over Paige Hendricks' apartment most days. But when rental agents and maintenance workers stop by, the ferret is relegated to its cage, a stowaway in its own home. Hendricks, Leawood junior, bought McLovin' because she thought a ferret would be more affordable and convenient than a dog or cat. Although Hendricks' apartment complex forbids ferrets, McLovin' has gone undetected for months.
The steps Hendricks takes to harbor McLovin' are small examples of the rigors of pet ownership in a college setting. Students who own animals must pay rent for, feed, and handle veterinary bills for their pets on top of their own personal expenses.
"Pet ownership can be expensive," Jeaneen Hercha, Lawrence Humane Society's director of animal welfare, said. "Food, litter, and spaying and neutering are necessities. Another cost is pet deposits and having to abide by landlord requirements."
Angela Schmidt, Grand Forks;
N.D., senior, doesn't have to pay
extra rent for her pets now that she
lives in a house, but she paid a $300
deposit and a $25 monthly fee to
have a cat at her last apartment.
pies receive treatments for bordetella bacteria, fleas, heartworm and rabies. Spaying or neutering included, the veterinary expenses can add up to more than $400 in the first 16 weeks of dog ownership.
Though the price tag early in a pet's life seems substantial, preventative veterinary work often saves pet owners money in the long run.
"You can't skip any of the preventative stuff," William Bayouth, veterinarian at the Animal Hospital of Lawrence, said. "If you miss that, you're headed for more expensive measures. My advice would be to check with a veterinarian to see how much shots are going to cost before you get the pet."
Hercha said the Lawrence Humane Society, 1805 E. 19th St. offered assistance to pet owners who could not afford to have their pets spayed or neutered. Hercha said the program's waiting list was usually eight or nine pages long.
In addition to footing the bill for initial vaccinations and procedures, pet owners must expand their grocery lists to accommodate for animals.
Dog food runs from very cheap - Kroger costs 33 cents per pound - to extremely expensive: Cesar puppy
food costs about 33 cents per ounce.
Cats need litter, dogs need toys and smaller animals need cages and supplies. Added to $25 extra rent fee, monthly pet expenses can stretch past $50 per month. Despite the
price tag on their pets, Schmidt and Hendricks both said their investments have paid off.
"Most of the students I see are taking very good care of their pets," Bayouth said. "The ones I don't see
are the ones who ignore the vet completely, but I think people are generally responsible."

“The biggest expenses were at the beginning,” Schmidt said. “Getting my dog fixed was the biggest expense, and they do a series of shots in the first few months that take three or four separate visits.”

WATKINS
More women than men visiting health center
BY BRIEUN SCOTT bscott@kansan.com
When Javier Portillo left Watkins Memorial Health Center two months ago, he left worry-free, with a clean bill of health.
According to recent data from Watkins, more women than men made appointments to visit Watkins during the past 12 months. Women made 44,000 appointments at Watkins during the past year, while men made 24,000 appointments.
Portillo, Paraguay senior, said he routinely visited Watkins for checkups. But Portillo may be one of the few male students who visited the doctor.
Patty Quinlan, a nurse supervisor at Watkins, said birth control pills were the main reason female students went to Watkins, while many went in for annual wellness check-ups as well.
"For men, there has to be an incentive," Quinlan said. "If it doesn't hurt or there's no change, then there's no reason to come in."
Portillo said that his parents regularly made him go. But Portillo said he
thought there might be reasons men don't want to go to the doctor.
"We always feel like were invincible," Portillo said. "We think 'I'm a man' type of thing."
Molly Khan, Rochester, Minn., senior, said she went to the doctor four or five months ago for her yearly check-up, because she was concerned about her health.
"The way women are raised is to be more in tuned with their bodies, while men are taught to be strong," Khan said. "Men are less willing to admit something is wrong."
Myra Strother, staff physician at Watkins, said the reason women came in more was because they were more open about health concerns than men.
"Men are not comfortable talking about things like stress and anxiety." Strother said.
She said men didn't focus on future health issues like high blood pressure.
Strother said she wanted to see all students regularly. She said when students did come in she tried to get as much information about the student's lifestyle as she could, because Watkins' goal was to inform students on ways to lead healthy lifestyles.
"College is more of a marathon than it is a sprint," Strother said. "Students should put health first. If they don't, they may not make it through the school year."
One health case that Strother said has become more common among KU students is metabolic syndrome, which includes high blood pressure, high sugar level and cardio vascular problems. In addition, a study conducted by Strother and other medical researchers showed obesity had increased among college students.
Strother said diseases like metabolic syndrome were affected by students' lifestyles. She said smoking, alcohol, lack of exercise and unhealthy eating would cause problems in the future.
Portilla said he thought that the American culture played a role in healthy living.
"We are altering life. Everything is fast pace, fast food and fast everything," he said.

MEDICINE
Migraine device could aleve anxiety
BY BRIEUN SCOTT
bscott@kansan.com
The University of Kansas Medical Center is working on a new device to help analyze migraines in women.
The device will allow researcher to better study estrogen in women and how it relates to migraines. It will allow researchers to put inflammatory solution, such as serotonin or directly on the dura mater, neurons that sense pain.
She said they were studying how estrogen can make cells respond and signal more pain than what's already there.
Nancy Berman, research director of Neurosurgery at the Medical Center, is conducting studies, along with other researchers, on ways to treat migraine patients and to understand why more women then men get migraines.
"We're studying if what's signaling pain inside cells common with pain in estrogen." Berman said.
According to the American Headache Society, about 22 million women are affected by migraines
in the U.S., which is three times the amount than men wo experience migraines.
Berman said that migraines are the most common neurological disease. She said migraines are a neglected in research because it's not considered as fatal as other diseases like Alzheimer, Stroke and Parkinson's.
"Migraines are probably not studied as much because it's a pain in women," Berman said.
Nick Stucky, M.D., Ph.D. student and member of research team, said they are studying the way estrogen influences the way neurons perceive change. He said estrogen changed neurons so that its stimulus is lower. He said estrogen could affect neurons all over the body.
"Like menstrual cramps—estrogen could play a role there," Stucky said.
Berman said one area where estrogen generates pain is in the head and the face.
"Why is there more pain in the head and face? Why not the uterus," Berman said.

Rex Walters, who last played at Kansas in 1993, was selected in the first round of the 1993 NBA Draft by the New Jersey Nets. Walters is now the men's basketball coach at the University of San Francisco.
As three former Jayhawks hope to become first round picks in Thursday night's NBA Draft, former Kansas first rounders look back at their draft night experience.
BY JESSE TEMPLE
jtemple@kansan.com
Another sluggish, sultry summer day was wrapping up in San Jose. It had been the kind of weather that steamed pavement and made clothes stick to skin — the temperature hit 91 degrees that day — trying its best to lull the third largest city in California to sleep.
Rex Walters couldn't sleep, though. The most important evening of his
life was rapidly approaching, and the sun couldn't set fast enough.
The 23-year-old University graduate with the smooth basketball stroke waited in his parents' house, and he was antsy. Walters knew that night — the last night in June of 1993 — had something special in store for him.
The National Basketball Association's annual draft was taking place, 2,500 miles away in Auburn Hills, Mich. There, the top American amateurs and European players would be picked by one of the
KANSAS 25 GIARD 1
Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN
league's teams. Walters, a two-time All-Big Eight first team selection at Kansas, expected to be chosen in the first round. He just didn't know when it would happen.
Former Kansas guard Brandon Rush drives down the lane past North Carolina guard Marcus Ginyard during the first half of the Final Four game against North Carolina. Rush, who scored 25 points against North Carolina, is hoping his strong junior season translates to a first round selection.
The same blueprint of uncertainty awaits three more Jayhawk first round hopefuls tomorrow night. At that time, the NBA draft commences once more — this time in New York City — and it will contain all the pressure of a buzzer-beating, game-tying three-point attempt in the national championship game.
Kansas underclassmen Darrell Arthur, Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers have signed and sealed away their status as amateurs by hiring agents and staying in the draft. Now, they are waiting anxiously to be delivered to a team just like Walters was 15 years ago.
For Walters, trying to keep his routine ordinary on draft day was a necessity. Wake up, shower, work out at the local gymnasium and eat. But clearly, this was no ordinary day.
"It was going to determine where I was going to live and the people I was going to meet," said Walters, now 38 and men's basketball coach at the University of San Francisco.
He came home early to help clean his parents' house, where nearly 30 friends and family members were coming to support him.
Home, surrounded by the people who loved him, provided a sense of comfort. He could've hopped on an airplane to sweat out the evening in an expensive suit, sitting with other first round hopefuls in the draft night green room. Things just wouldn't have been the same, though.
"I'm a pretty simple guy," Walters said. "I didn't need all that."
Still, not even the cozy confines could drown out his apprehension and churning stomach. Walters' demeanor became more serious in the hours leading up to the draft.
As the minutes droned on and friends tried keeping him relaxed,

draft night
Walters tucked himself away from the living room chaos to his own room. He stared straight at the television set, waiting for a decision to be made.
The phone rang occasionally. If it wasn't his agent updating Walters on the latest draft scenarios, there were calls from other franchises stating their interest in the 6-foot-4 shooting guard.
Ultimately, however, there was nothing Walters could do but watch and wait.
"For someone like myself who wants to control every situation, it was pretty difficult." Walters said.
Fifteen times NBA commissioner David Stern strolled to the podium, making life-changing draft declarations. New homes awaited those men. New friends. New money.
Walters yearned to join that group as the lining of his stomach continued to disagree with him.
Then, the statement he worked so hard for so long to hear finally arrived.
"With the 16th pick in the 1993 NBA Draft," Stern said, "the New Jersey Nets select Rex Walters, from the University of Kansas."
The rest rushed by like a blur. Quick phone talks with Nets head coach Chuck Daly and general manager Willis Reed. A celebratory trip to Tony Roma's restaurant for ribs. An early morning, cross-country flight in the works for a contract signing and his first press conference as a professional. He really was a first round draft pick, and soon he would have the $650,000 rookie-year salary to prove it.
The first night of the rest of his life had begun, and sleep was the last thing on Walters' mind.

NBA Draft Night.
It's a rite of passage for the best young basketball players on the planet. Years of struggle and months of speculation and hype are whittled down to one evening with a staged production under bright lights. NBA prospects have their stats and body types dissected by analysts as every move is captured for a national television audience.
When Arthur, Rush and Chalmers declared for the draft, the hope was to
cash in on their national championship season at the University. There is no better way for them to validate their departures than with a selection in the draft's first round. Only those top 30 picks receive guaranteed contracts and financial stability for life. A player not drafted there must make a team's regular-season roster to earn a salary.
Rush's agent, Mark Bartelstein, knows the stakes will be high
"It's a tense night," said Bartelstein, who is the CEO and founder of Chicago-based Priority Sports and Entertainment, Bartelstein also rep-
called."
Bartelstein said he usually had a pretty good feel for teams that were interested in his clients.

Listen to an NBA Draft preview podcast with former KU and NBA player Bud Stallworth.
Despite the draft's unpredictability, Arthur, Rush and Chalmers are projected to join the growing list of first
round draft selections at Kansas. In the 61-year history of the NBA draft, 20 Jayhawks have been chosen in round one, including 10 players since Walters. Among the most notable KU first rounders in school history are NBA Hall of

Typically, only potential lottery picks — those expected to be taken in the top 14 — are invited to attend the draft in person. Arthur and Rush may well be in that mix. Current draft projections list Arthur going anywhere from 10th to 18th and Rush between 13th and 25th. Chalmers, meanwhile, could be taken as high as No. 26 but could also slip to round two.
Kansas' most recent first round pick, Julian Wright, attended the draft last year and was taken 13th overall by the New Orleans Hornets. He said most NBA teams already knew their top draft choice before draft night. That decision is based, in part, on a player's individual workouts with specific teams, interviews with those close to the player and IQ tests.
Having played with all three of this year's early draft entrants at Kansas, Wright gave his assessment of their chances while at a KU summer basketball camp two weeks ago.
"Obviously, these workouts can do a little bit in terms of where they will fall." Wright said. "But I think they will all be in the first round."
If the three do get drafted in round one, the nervous energy should dissipate. Even the 30th and final pick in this year's first round has a pay scale guaranteeing him more than $1.5 million during the next two seasons.
*****
With so much riding on every first round selection, it's hard to believe
there was once a time when things were different — when the NBA draft came and went for the University's top professional prospects without them even knowing.
Bud Stallworth laughed at the mere thought of the draft being televised 36 years ago when he was selected in round one.
"It wasn't like that," said Stallworth, who works on campus as budget manager for Design and Construction Management at the University. "I'm serious. I know I wasn't watching TV if they had it on. The fanfare, I mean, it was nothing."
Stallworth is part of a small group of former Jayhawks six, to be exact taken in the NBA draft's first round before the made-for-TV specials began annually in the 1980s.
Before then, six- and seven-figure salaries were the exception and not the norm, and players hardly ever declared for the draft without first finishing college.
Guys like Stallworth sat around wondering if somebody might call them about a draft that had taken place sometime during that week. There was no draft night hub to convene at — in fact, the draft didn't even take place at night.
Stallworth was in his campus apartment when he received word from his agent that the Seattle Supersonics had taken him with the seventh pick in the 1972 NBA draft.
Unlike Walters or Wright, who met with team officials immediately. Stallworth didn't fly out until two
weeks after he was picked to meet with Seattle's owner and review contract details. He chose the Supersonics over the American Basketball Association's Denver Rockets, who drafted him at mid-year into their league.
For Jo Jo White, the news came at a college all-star game in Hawaii in 1969. At the time, White had to worry about two drafts — the NBA and the military. He said he actually received a two-year injunction into military service before the NBA draft, which scared some teams away from selecting him.
But Boston Celtics coach Red Auerbach took care of that. He secured a six-month stay in the reserves for White instead of two years in the service. Boston then chose White with the ninth pick in the 1969 NBA draft, and Auerbach called to let him know.
Then, there's Walt Wesley's story.
The 6-foot-11 center was sitting in class atop Mount Oread when he was drafted in May 1966. He didn't find out until later that afternoon, after he headed for Allen Fieldhouse to play pick-up hoops with the team. KU coach Ted Owens told him the news: the Cincinnati Royals took him with the sixth pick of round one.
LANSAU
35
Wesley hadn't even heard from Cincinnati, but he called his parents to let them know. Not until weeks later, after he graduated from school, did he finally see the city and team that drafted him.
Spencer Research Library/CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
JoJo White, left, last played at Kansas in 1969. White was the Boston Celtics' first round pick in 1969.
"It wasn't a big party." Wesley said. "We weren't all sitting around waiting. We didn't call everybody and say, 'Well the draft is taking place, we're going to sit and watch.' It's a different day, and a different era."
White cites NBA teams' desires to draft players on potential and not skill level.
Wesley says there is more pressure on the athletes to perform immediately.
Even Walters' draft experience seems slightly removed from the shoe deal and video game endorsement era that has become more prevalent among top picks.
Stallworth said the competition to get drafted now was tougher because of the influx of foreign-born players.
But for all the differences, one element of the draft remains the same all these years later. It's an element that Arthur, Rush and Chalmers, despite their angst, are just one day from finding out about.
"You've got to be happy man," Stallworth said. "That's human nature. All you've got to do is show up and practice and play for the rest of your life, and you're cool."

Jayhawk dirty talk
Dear Dirty Talk,
On average, by race, who has the largest penis on average? Black men, white men, latin men?
Sincerely,
Member Monitor
I knew this question was going to come up (pun intended?) and I am prepared. Like most men, I am interested to know how I stack up to my competition, so I did a little research. No, I'm not going to tell you anything about my personal equipment, but I will tell you about the studies I poked around in.
BY PETER SOTO
A 2006 Spanish study measured men from fifteen different countries to try and find out which country's men had the longest peni. The results were rather surprising. France came out ahead of the United States in terms of average erect length (6.2 inches compared to 5.07 inches). America's five strong inches represented the middle of the pack and were larger than 6 of the 15 countries surveyed. While the French had the longest fries, U.S. Dicks were almost 1.3 inches longer than Korean Peens.
This information was nice to know, but represented nationalities rather than races. Which isn't what we are after!
The research team of Masters and Johnson came up with different data. M&J tested penis length by race. They said that Caucasian men had the longest average peni at 6.4 inches, African men came in second at 6.2 inches, Hispanic men in third place with 6 inches even and Asian men in last with 5.6 inches.
A 2006 study conducted for the British Journal of Urology found that a man's penis, no matter his race, averages out to be 5.07 inches long. This same study found that homosexual men have slightly longer and wider members than heterosexual men. Don't worry my fellow straight males. The differences
were only about .2 inches of length and .2 inches of girth. A negligible amount unless you are some sort of size queen.
I could go on citing studies by condom companies, medical societies and independent researchers, but from what I have seen there is not a lot of agreement. Depending on who you ask and what their motives are,you get different answers.
J. Philippe Rushton, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, says that men of African decent have the longest peni on average (between 6.25 inches and 8 inches.) Masters and Johnson say that Caucasian men are the biggest. Rushton has been linked to racist organizations while Masters and Johnson have not. I am more inclined to believe M&J. If there is some sort of corrlation between race and penis size, I don't think it is significant.
Either way, it's more important to find someone who has great qualities that aren't penile. I conducted a random survey and asked 15 women whether it was more important if a guy has a large penis or if he can use what he has. Fourteen of the fifteen women surveyed said that being able to use what they had was more important. One even went so far as to say that, in certain situations, too much size was undesirable. So if you're not the a foot long, nine inch wide tree stump of a man don't worry, few men are and few women want that.

DISTRACTING
White Owl's status overrated?
White Owl is the classic modern celebrity, famous for being famous, but what has he actually done? White Owl's engagement has been the most discussed story The Kansan has published all summer. The story has been picked up by other media outlets including the Kansas City Star, the Lawrence Journal-World and Fox 4 News in Kansas City. While his antics are entertaining and it is interesting that he is engaged to a 22-year-old, his outward behavior is a distraction from who he actually is: a Vietnam veteran who obviously still suffers from his wartime experience. Rather than laughing at him, we should use his story as a lens to examine our long-term treatment of veterans. By refusing to fold quietly back into society, White Owl is giving us a chance to see what happens to veterans whom most of us would easily allow ourselves to ignore.
ENTERTAINING
— Sarah Neff
Buffet at Cici's Pizza: $3.99. One handle of alcohol: $12.95 Increase next semester for an in-state student taking 15 hours: $175.50. White Owl getting married: pointless. Pointless, though, in that White Owl becoming engaged to a student does not affect my eating habits, my drinking or my education.
It will cause me to look at the University's icon and take a break from reality. A reality full of increasing prices and a decreasing number of hours in the day to get it all done. I gawk at him on campus during one of his rants, become distracted from figuring out how I am going to pay my credit card bill, and return back to my life.
And if White Owl is considered more of a distraction as opposed to beneficial, satisfaction can result with one thought: "I may be broke, busy as hell and eating cheap pizza, but at least I'm not that guy."

Weekend Project: Build your own kite to beat the rainy day blues
X
free [ads] for all
Let's face it, the weather has been downright miserable. How do you beat the rainy days when all you're dreaming about is the summer sun? Find a project you can do indoors that will prepare you for when the sun comes out. The perfect rainy day activity is building your own kite. Put it together when it's less than perfect outside and you'll be ready to fly high when the sun comes.
First things first, gather your materials. Some things you may have lying around your house, others you may need to take a trip to Hobby Lobby for unless you're a kindergarten teacher.
hawkchalk
The supplies: One 24-inch stick, one 20-inch stick, large piece of paper (at least $ 26^{\prime \prime} $ x $ 26^{\prime \prime} $ ), tape, lightweight string or rope, craft knife, ruler, pencil, scissors, ribbon and crayons or markers
the string to fit through. Loop the string through the notches creating the diamond frame of your kite. Make sure the string is firm.
Next, make small holes at the end of the shorter stick. Cut a 2-foot piece of string and knot the string through your ready-made holes, making your
After you have the string tight, pull the ends back to the middle of the kite. Wrap the string around both sticks. Make another "x". Tie it in a knot when you're complete. After that, cut the paper to be slightly larger than your diamond frame. Fold the edges and either tape or glue the edges down.
kite's "bridle".
Now that you have your supplies together it's time to start building your masterpiece. You'll be ready to hit the park in no time. First, take your two sticks and make them into a cross. Next, tie the two sticks together and make an "x" with your string. Add glue to the rope to make the bond sturdier. Then, cut a small slice in the bottom of each stick. Make sure they're deep enough for
Tie the rest of the string halfway down the bridle. This excess string is used to fly your kite. Take a 2-foot piece of string and tie it to the bottom of your kite to make a tail. The tail will make the kite more stable and adding bows along the rope will make it look more like a classic kite. The final touch is to decorate your kite to make it original. Once a sunny day comes along, take a cue from Mary Poppins and go fly your kite up to the highest height and send it soaring.

Pregnant teen denies pact existed
ASSOCIATED PRESS GLOUCESTER, Mass. — One of the girls who became pregnant at Gloucester High School this year denied Tuesday there was any pact among them to have children, saying instead they decided to help each other make the best of their situations.
Lindsey Oliver refuted the principal's claim that a sharp increase in teen pregnancies — 17 compared to a typical four - was in part because several girls planned to get pregnant so they could raise their babies together.
The couple was in New York and could not be immediately reached for comment. Psalidas's father, Charles Psalidas, said his son would not talk to any other reporters because hed made an exclusive interview agreement.
"There was definitely no pact," Oliver told "Good Morning America." "There was a group of girls already pregnant that decided they were going to help each other to finish school and raise their kids together. I think it was just a coincidence."
Oliver, 17, said she became pregnant by accident and that she and her 20-year-old boyfriend, Andrew Psalidas, a community college student, were using birth control.
The entertainment news TV show "Inside Edition" said the couple would appear later Monday.
City officials have been reeling for a week since Principal Joseph Sullivan told Time magazine that girls had gotten pregnant on purpose, celebrating with high-fives and plans for baby showers when they learned in the school health clinic they were expecting.
Sullivan has not spoken publicly about his comments and has failed to respond to repeated interview requests.
Mayor Carolyn Kirk on Monday denied any pact existed.
"Any planned blood-oath bond to become pregnant — there is absolutely no evidence of," Kirk said.
Sue Todd, chief executive of Pathways for Children, which runs the high school's on-site day care center, said Tuesday there was no pact. Time magazine reported in its online edition Monday that Todd said June 13 that a social worker had heard of the girls' plans as early as last fall.
Todd denies the Time report.
"At no time have I stated to anyone that our social worker had knowledge of this. I have stated the opposite," Todd told The Associated Press. "If anyone would be aware of this pact being real it would be us because we run the program."
Times spokesman Ali Zelenko said the magazine stands by its story.

Movies: Carell saves 'Get Smart'
"Get Smart" doesn't possess the most intelligent one-liners and gags, but a cast full of recognizable stars keeps the film from being just another dumb comedy.
Steve Carell plays Maxwell Smart, a rookie secret agent who negotiates deadly scenarios and a tenuous relationship with his partner (Anne Hathaway). Carell (The Office) is dead-on as Smart, offering physical comedy along with some well-delivered punchlines.
Hathaway (The Princess Diaries) delivers a strong performance as Agent 99, a spy with some serious baggage. She isn't hilarious, but she doesn't need to be: Carell is the film's main jokester. The Rock, er... Dwayne Johnson (Gridiron Gang), is better than usual as the tough-guy
agent.
Director Peter Segal doesn't pull out any fancy tricks in "Get Smart." The plot is straightforward — albeit longwinded — and none of the jokes seem too unnatural. The film mostly stays away from raunchy humor and probably could have passed with a PG rating if not for a few scenes. Many of the laughs come from physical comedy or something as innocuous as Bill Murray hiding in a tree.
"Get Smart" provides a generally pleasant viewing experience. It doesn't engage the audience with a thick plot, but stays lively and upbeat enough to entertain.

OBITUARY
Comedian Carlin dies Sunday at 71
BY KEITH ST. CLAIR ASSOCIATED PRESS
Carlin, who had a history of heart trouble, went into St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica on Sunday afternoon complaining of chest pain and died later that evening, said his publicist, Jeff Abraham. He had performed as recently as last weekend at the Orleans Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas.
LOS ANGELES — George Carlin, the dean of counterculture comedians whose biting insights on life and language were immortalized in his "Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV" routine, died of heart failure Sunday. He was 71.
"He was a genius and I will miss him dearly," Jack Burns, who was the other half of a comedy duo with Carlin in the early 1960s, told The Associated Press.
He produced 23 comedy albums, 14 HBO specials, three books, a couple of TV shows and appeared in several movies, from his own comedy specials to "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" in 1989 — a testament to his range from cerebral satire.
I'll never forget you. You were my best friend, and the most important person in my life. You are truly a true legend.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Comedian George Carlin died from heart failure Sunday. He was known for his unique insights on life and numerous comedy albums.

Cleveland Cavalier player LeBron James is one of Kansan reporter Christine D'Amico's top picks for hottest NBA players. He could not beat out New Orleans Hornets' Chris Anderson's sex appeal, though.

T5P
5. BUCKETS BLAKE, HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS
He's not in the NBA, but he's got the moves to impress the ladies. This Globetrotter trots in at number five because of his unusual moves and his devilish smile.
4. DWIGHT HOWARD, ORLANDO MAGIC
He's tall with a boyish face and slammed dunked his way into number four on our list. A devout Christian from Atlanta, Howard is sure to be a heartbreaker.
Even his male fans agree. Chris Valentino, 25, thinks Howard's sex appeal comes from his performance on the court.
"He's the next Shaq," Valentino said.
3. LEBRON JAMES,
CLEVELAND CAVALIERS
His new commercial for Vitamin Water where James sports a suit may have something to do with him making the list. He may seem cocky, but
it's the edge women can't resist.
Jessica Steinbrueck, 20, St. Louis,
agrees.
"I like a man in a suit, I find that sexy," Steinbrueck said. "Plus he's the closest looking to Darnell Jackson."
2. MARCUS CAMBY, DENVER NUGGETS
Camby, who plays for my hometown heroes, is tall, sexy and confident. His good looks and presence on the court make him my No.2 pick for sexiest basketball players.
1. CHRIS ANDERSEN,
NEW ORLEANS HORNETS
His sex appeal is unmatchable, at least in the NBA. His tattooed muscular frame and wild hairstyles, tussled to perfection, makes Andersen the bad boy you can't resist.
"He's the sexiest because he's a tall glass of water," Hall said.
Laura Hall, 2008 graduate, agrees.
I couldn't have said it better myself.

NEW YORK — Don Imus is defending a remark he made about the arrests of suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam Jones, saying he was trying to "make a sarcastic point."
Imus spoke Tuesday on his morning show about the on-air comments that sparked a flurry of criticism. Imus
said Tuesday: "What people should be outraged about is that they arrest blacks for no reason. I mean, there's no reason to arrest this kid six times."
During a conversation Monday about the arrests of Jones, Imus asked,"What color is he?"
Told by a sports announcer that Jones is "African-American,"Imus responded:"There you go. Now we know."

Meal on a Budget: Chicken and rice meal offers many variations
Tonyell Ray, assistant manager of Jayhawk Spirit, 935 Massachusetts St., shares her inexpensive and easy chicken and rice recipe.
INGREDIENTS
1 box of minute rice
1 box of minute rice
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 cups of water
1 box of onion soup mix
2 cans of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup
Flour
Butter
DIRECTIONS
Begin by buttering a cake pan before placing the chicken on it. Ray
said she used a cake pan because it allowed her to pour the gravy on the chicken when it finishes cooking.
Flour the chicken and put it on the cake pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then, put the chicken in the oven for 20 minutes. At 20 minutes, flip the chicken over.
While the chicken is cooking, dump four cups of water,the onion soup mix and two cans of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup into a bowl and stir. This will be the gravy for the chicken.
To make the rice, simply bring water to a boil in a pan. Then, cook the rice, which comes in two packets.
"I do it the easiest way possible,"
Ray said. "The rice comes in little servings already in the bag. It cooks itself so you don't have to stir it or anything."
Once the chicken finishes baking on both sides, take it out of the oven. Pour the gravity over the chicken and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. You can put the rice on the side.
"It's easy to add concoctions to it," Ray said. "You can even add cheese on top or Tabasco sauce."
Ray makes the meal about twice a month and says it is good for a person's carbohydrate intake.
"It's one of my dad's favorite meals that I cook," she said.
Jesse Temple
1. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Add chopped tomatoes and garlic to the pan.
3. Cook until the tomato mixture is thickened and the cheese melts.
4. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar as desired.

The chicken and rice meal is an inexpensive and easy on-the-go meal idea. For a healthy and tasty variation, also try tossing in peppers and onions.

"Out of Bounds - Inside the NBA's Culture of Rape, Violence, and Crime”—by Jeff Benedict
Face it: Mt. Oread is big and steep. But if you love stairs and steps, this campus is for you. The KU campus is packed with them. Did you know: There are 110 steps behind Blake Hall. 110.
They aren't going to be mistaken from the Philadelphia steps from the Rocky movies. But if
Jeff Benedict is a bit sensational in his book about violence in the NBA culture, proposing that every NBA player cited for marijuana use is a violent criminal. He does make several solid points and has documentation to prove his claims that basketball players live in a world where people cater to their every self-indulgence. His theory that an NBA player's life on the road and access to groupies, is the perfect environment for allegations of sexual assault, is proven again and again. Some of the crimes detailed include Patrick Ewing and Ruben Patterson, who, through force or celebrity status, took advantage of their power over others. Money-hungry lawyers and agents only multiply the excess of a professional athlete's lifestyle. Benedict summarizes his novel best, saying, "In a culture that heaps wildly disproportionate

》 NBA DRAFT
Destination unknown: Jayhawks await draft
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Kansas coach Bill Self is convinced something special is going to happen Thursday night at the 2008 NBA Draft.
Self said he expected five Kansas players to be selected in the draft, which will take place in New York City and be aired live at 7 p.m. on ESPN. Since the draft expanded to its current two-round format, the most Jayhawks ever taken in a single draft was two players. Kansas has produced four NBA Draft picks in the past five years.
But Self said he was confident
Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur, Mario Chalmers, Sasha Kaun and Darnell Jackson all would be picked Thursday night. He even thought Russell Robinson had a chance to be taken.
Rush
"The great news is all those kids are going to have an opportunity to play and be successful," said Lew Perkins, Kansas athletics director. "The bad news is they're not going to be with us."
BRANDON RUSH
"Brandon, maybe," Wright said. "In terms of his game, it's pretty suited for the NBA."
Ask former Jayhawk Julian Wright, who the New Orleans Hornets selected 14th overall in last year's NBA Draft, which Jayhawk will be most successful in the NBA and he'll say he doesn't know. Ask him again and he'll admit he thinks it's Rush.
Wright's observations are dead on with the feelings of NBA scouts. Andy Katz, an ESPN college basketball and NBA Draft analyst, said Rush was one of the most coveted
olavers in the draft right now.
Teams think Rush has the size
and defensive ability to be an effective shooting guard at the next level. Katz said if Rush was available when the Washington Wizards selected at No.18, they
PETER MELKIN
Arthur
would pick him — but Katz isn't so sure that would happen.
"He may not get all the way down to 18." Katz said. "He's a player that's rising."

"Darrell Arthur is kind of hard to place," Katz said. "He could go in the late lottery or he could slide down into the 20s. He's sort of all over the map."
All players aspire to be taken in the lottery, which means in the top 14 overall. Arthur's size and ability to score near the basket indicates he has a good chance to be picked highly.
Self said he thought Arthur would go somewhere in between picks number 10 and 17.
According to Ford, Self is just off. Ford's latest mock draft has Arthur going to the Washington Wizards with the 18th pick.
Self said he wasn't sure if Chalmers would be selected.

Self said he had received dozens

"Chalmers is getting a lot of interest from Orlando at 22, possibly San Antonio at 26," Katz said. "I think you're going to find him at the end of the day out in Orlando."

All-Americans lead Kansas to new heights

It's hard to believe now that Nickesha Anderson and Crystal Manning were once separated by thousands of miles and a body of water.
Perhaps that's because Anderson.
Hanover, Jamaica, junior, and Manning, Terrell, Texas, senior, have always had their successes linked together as teammates on the KU track & field team.

Anderson did so in both the 100 and 200 meter races. She finished

The duo helped propel the Jayhawk women to their highest NCAA team finish in school history. The 15thplace finish bettered KU's previous best of 24th, set in 1999.
There, the duo became permanently connected for their outstanding performances at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Each garnered All-American honors in two events at the same championship meet, the first time that had happened for any female in KU track & field history.
Anderson and Manning were two of four Jayhawks to earn All-American
third in the 100 meters in 11.66 seconds and fourth in the 200 in 22.76 seconds and said she wasn't surprised with the achievement.
"The thing is, it's what I've been training for all year," Anderson said.
"I put everything into it. That's a great accomplishment because a lot of people wanted to do it, and I made it to the finals."
Manning had never made it to the NCAA championships for the long jump before pulling off the double in Des Moines. Her best long jump at the meet measuring 6.26 meters put her in ninth place, while her triple jump of 13.40 meters placed her seventh.
Manning said she couldn't have scripted a much better way to end her Kansas career.
"It meant a lot," she said. "At first, coming to KU was a total change, and I didn't know if I was going to
be successful at this school. I had to get used to the people and the atmosphere. It was like a shock to me. But I feel like I was real successful here at KU."
Anderson and Manning were the only Jayhawks to qualify for the outdoor championships in more than one event. Anderson said sharing the
two-time All-American honor with Manning was particularly special.
"Even though she does the long jump and the triple, we're really good about going to see each other," Anderson said. "We share. Whoever cooks

Agafonov, like many of his track and field teammates, will disperse from campus in hopes of qualifying for the 2008 Summer Olympics in his native country of Russia.

with the next pick. That would make him teammates with Julian Wright once again. Wright said he wasn't selfish and wouldn't root for reuniting with one of his college teammates on draft night.
"I just want them to get a good fit," Wright said. "But if one of them does fall here, I wouldn't mind playing with him."
SASHA KAUN
Kaun won't play in the NBA next season but that doesn't mean he won't be drafted.
The center signed a three-year deal with CSKA Moscow, a professional basketball team in Russia, on Sunday. The signing, however, doesn't insure an NBA team won't pick him - in fact, it could make it more likely.
If NBA teams draft a player who already signed a contract in a foreign league, they gain his rights in case he ever does decide to play in America. It's an attractive deal for NBA teams because they receive rights of a player without having to pay any money until the player comes back to the
United States.
In last year's draft, 10 international players in the same position as Kaun were picked.
DARNELL JACKSON
Self said it wouldn't quite be a miracle if a team selected Jackson after all he's been through in college
- but it would be close.
If Jackson does get picked,he will likely be one of the final selections.

great workouts," Self said. "I think he has a great chance to get drafted and I think he will."
Self compared Jackson to former Florida big man Chris Richard, who was primarily a reserve in college but became the fifth Gator selected in last year's draft. Like Kansas this year, Florida was the reigning national champion last year.
"He's one of those guys that late in the second round, somebody could say, 'Well I just want to draft somebody that's dependable and can be a third guard,'" Self said. "If that's the case, then Russell could be the man."
Even if Robinson is not selected, he could try to latch on with a team through free agency. He may spend next year in the NBA Developmental League or elsewhere, but Perkins is sure he'll keep chasing his dreams.
"Russell is going to play some place," Perkins said.

CROMWELL, Conn. — Stewart Cink had a reputation as a good golfer who just couldn't finish off a tournament.
His collapse during the fourth round of the PODS Championship in March left him with just one victory in the nine career events where he had the lead going into the last day.
On Sunday, he put that behind him, holding off a late charges from Tommy Armour III and defending champion Hunter Mahan to win the Travelers Championship by a stroke. With the victory, Cink was projected to go to a career-high No. 6 in the world ranking.
Cink shot a 3-under 67 — following rounds of 66, 64 and 65 — to finish at 18 under for his fifth career victory and first since 2004. Armour (65) and Mahan (65) tied for second.

The beauty of interleague play is that you never know exactly what to expect, though the White Sox certainly didn't expect to endure a lost weekend just 20 minutes from home. On the positive side for Guillen is that he apparently didn't encounter any of the killer rats that seemed to bother him more than the middle of the Cubs' lineup.
Even more positive is that the White Sox won't have to wait long for a chance to exact revenge for the three-game sweep that ate into their first-place margin.

AWARD
Gale Sayers,'Kansas Comet,'still shining bright
Kansas City Sports Commission honors football legend with lifetime achievement award; Perkins and Rush also honored
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Gale Sayers says people don't remember him anymore.
But judging by Thursday night's Party Recognizing Outstanding Roles and Services
People in Sports at the Sprint Center, the former Kansas running back is dead wrong. Sayers won the Lamar Hunt Lifetime Achievement Award for excellence in amateur and professional sports.
"If you don't know Gale Sayers
"It was a special year. The basketball team I knew was pretty good, and the football team, I was very, very proud of them."
GALE SAYERS Former Kansas football player
Sayers compiled a couple of memorable years at Kansas of his own. He gained 3,917 total yards before graduating in 1964 and earned
and what he has done then you don't know college or professional sports," said Lew Perkins, Kansas athletics director.
Perkins took home the other major award, the Citation for Amateur Sports Excellence, from the Kansas City Sports Commission and Foundation's annual awards banquet. He also accepted Brandon Rush's Collegiate Male of the Year Award because the guard was in Minnesota working out in preparation for next week's NBA Draft.
Just as Sayers became known for evading potential tacklers in his football days, he dodged questions about his award and preferred to discuss the past year of KU athletics.
Virginia Tech. He opted to stay at home for the Final Four but said it was just as enjoyable.
"It was a very special year," Sayers said. "The basketball team I knew was pretty good and the football team, I was very, very proud of them."
Sayers traveled to Miami for the Orange Bowl to watch Kansas beat
All-American honors twice. Sayers' Jayhawk teams,however never reached a bowl game.
He went on to play six years in the NFL for the Chicago Bears. There, he played in four Pro Bowls and set the NFL record for touchdowns
in a rookie season with 22. Sayers became the youngest player ever inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1977 at 34 years old.
Sayers detailed his relationship with Bears coach George Halas and teammates Brian Piccolo and Dick Butkus in his acceptance speech.
Sayers entered and exited the stage on the east side of the Sprint Center to roaring applause and a standing ovation from the crowd. He also mingled with the audience and signed autographs before the ceremony began.
Sayers said it was nice to receive the award and he always enjoyed coming to Kansas City. He's also looking forward to the start of next year for KU athletics when he thinks the University will continue to prove it has elite teams in not one, but two sports.

about accepting his award because of the impressive list of past recipients. Ten-time national champion basketball coach John Wooden, track standout Jackie Joyner-Kearse and Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt all have accepted the award before.
"It blows my mind to even think my name is going to be with those kinds of people." Perkins said.
Rush also had to share his award with Missouri running back Tony Temple. Rush and Temple have known each other since they were children and played on the same basketball team once.
"I offered to play Brandon one-on-one for this award, but I guess he didn't make it," Temple said. "He didn't want this 5'9" of fury."
